DM school district pays teacher’s legal costs BY MARSHA SUTTON SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER The Del Mar Union School District agreed to pay a teacher’s court costs and legal fees when the teacher filed a harassment charge last spring against a parent at her school. The teacher claimed the parent, the mother of several children at the teacher’s school, was threatening the teacher and endangering the students at the school. The teacher, and the district, lost the case when the judge ruled in favor of the defendant, the parent, after a court appearance that included testimony from the teacher, the parent and the school’s principal, Wendy Wardlow of Del Mar Heights School. The alleged erratic behavior started when the teacher began dating the mother’s now ex-husband (the mother and father were separated and in the process of divorcing at the time). After the teacher reported to the school’s principal that the mother had made offensive and threatening statements to her, Wardlow alerted DMUSD superintendent Jim Peabody, who brought the issue to the district’s lawyer Dan Shinoff, of Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz. Shinoff advised the school district to take the See COSTS, Page 6

Earth Song Books to close in November BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer Earth Song Books & Gifts, which has been part of the Del Mar community for more than 40 years, will close its doors in November. “For a long time, we’ve been competing with Amazon and Kindle, and our customers haven’t been supporting us in this economy,” said owner Annette Palmer. “We have to close because the funding just isn’t there. The numbers just don’t add up.” Earth Song opened in 1969, and Palmer, with the help of her fam-
ily, bought the independent bookstore in 2007, only days before wildfires began to ravish nearby areas. She was 24 when she became owner of the store, located at 1440 Camino Del Mar, which she said she fell in love with at first sight. She found out the store was for sale from a Craiglist ad, advertising a $250,000 price tag. “I was just out of college and owned a bookstore by the beach,” she said. “It was my dream.” Palmer said she has
Work to correct longtime on-ramp flooding problem now slated to begin Oct. 10 BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER About a year after flooding was discovered on the Carmel Mountain Road on-ramp to Interstate 5, repair work will finally begin around Oct. 10. Dubbed “Torrey Hills Lake” by frustrated local residents, the ramp started flooding during the last rainy season and hasn’t subsided since—a pool of water has remained on the outside lane most of the year due to an underground pipe failure. While the Torrey Hills community was told the work would begin this summer and then in September, October is now the target date. “It’s quite an amazing little arduous task to figure this one out, but we’ve got it done, and got it done right despite some delays from traffic planning, from Caltrans,” said Bill Harris, spokesperson for the city of San Diego’s transportation and storm water department. Brad Fagan, vice chair of the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board and president of the Torrey Hills Master Association, said the October start date was “unacceptable.” He lamented that the city received emergency funding for December 2010 flooding in February and that the city could have gotten permits from Caltrans months ago. “I don’t think the construction will start in October but I hope it does. I

It’s not a question of how much a permit costs, they’ve got it,” Fagan said. “I just think they put it on a shelf and forgot about us. I know they’re busy doing other projects but do any other projects impact a single community as much as this does?” District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner agrees with Fagan that the work should be expedited, sending a memo to Mayor Jerry Sanders on Tuesday, Sept. 20. “The San Diego City Council approved funding for this project on June 7, 2011 so I request that work start immediately,” Lightner wrote. “We want to prevent further damage to the storm drain and avoid any delays due to inclement weather.”

CV teen learns about global issues from experts at summit in Switzerland BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Carmel Valley teenager Morgan Hicks spent part of her summer vacation singing “Happy Birthday” to Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. Her memorable birthday tribute came courtesy of the One Young World Summit in Zurich, Switzerland, where Hicks was one of 1,600 young delegates selected to attend from around the world. Hicks, a senior at the Bishop’s School, was treated to seminars on world issues given by some of the most well-known experts on the topic, such as Tutu, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, activist Bob Geldof, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Muhammad Yunis, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Doctors Without Border co-founder Bernard Kouchner, and Wael Ghonim, the Google executive who organized protests in Egypt. “It was inspirational,” Hicks said. “I’m in such a bubble here and a lot of these topics I had never experienced. We heard about politics, the environment, capitalism, economics, leadership and how to have relationships with other countries to promote world peace.” Hicks was selected to attend the summit by the International Community Foundation (ICF), a National City organization she
Morgan Hicks, third from left, with other youths in Zurich, Switzerland. has interned for since her freshman year. Donor Antonio Diaz, through his San Diego-Tijuana Talented Youth Opportunities Fund at ICF, sponsored Hicks’ trip. ICF President and Founder Richard Kiy, also a Carmel Valley resident, thought Hicks would be the perfect ambassador for their organization for all the “amazing” contributions she has made in such a short time. At ICF, Hicks helped launch the Youth International Philanthropy Council, which encourages and inspire youth to take on
used to be a child soldier. “That blew me away,” Hicks said. “Despite everything that happened he doesn’t want to crawl in a hole and hide, he wanted to make a difference. It was amazing and inspirational.” She took very detailed notes during the presentation by Doug Richards, an entrepreneurship expert. Hicks said Richards spoke about the challenges of the world today and how as young leaders, they are in charge of making it better. Hicks will carry Richards’ words and all the other invaluable messages she received at the summit, as she continues in her efforts at ICF and beyond. While she doesn’t know what college she will attend, she knows she wants to study social entrepreneurship. “Change starts from one person…Don’t be afraid to make a difference,” Hicks advised. Initially she was nervous about working in Mexico but pushing herself outside her comfort zone allowed her to discover that it was a wonderful country and also allowed her to meet the people she was taking an active role in helping. “You learn something if you put yourself out there,” Hicks said. “Your physically being in the experience changes you, rather than just sending a check.”
to sponsor Morgan and hope it leads to others to follow in her path,” Kiy said. “I look forward to her inspiring others on how they can make a difference.” In addition to her work with ICF, Hicks also co-founded the “Students Against Destructive Decisions” club at Bishop’s and is a member of the cross country, soccer and track teams. “I’m very busy but I like it that way. I get more things done when I’m busy,” Hicks said. At the One World Summit, Hicks met fellow delegates, ages 18-30, from all over the world. She was one of the youngest there but connected with people from England, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Morocco, Libya and Syria. “It was really interesting and humbling to hear the opinions of the other delegates about the U.S.,” Hicks said “Compared to a lot of countries, we are such a young nation and we have a lot to learn. I think we can learn a lot from different countries and it was interesting to hear their perspective.” Hicks heard presentations on a wide variety topics, from feminism and women’s rights to issues in Africa; learning about the problems the country is facing and steps that can be taken to ensure it doesn’t get worse. She was inspired by a delegate she met from Rwanda who
cross-border giving. “There’s a lot of opportunity for kids to take on projects but they feel like they don’t have the vehicle to do so,” Hicks said, noting that her council gives them one. One of her first projects was helping raise $125,000 for a new playground in Mexico for abandoned and neglected children. With the knowledge gained from her experience at ICF, Hicks also wrote “The Teenagers Guide to International Giving,” which will be published in the fall. “I’m proud that we were able

concerns about the schedule moving into the rainy season, in that construction and flooding might be occurring at the same time.

But we are all hurting.� Palmer said she is extremely sad, but “grateful to the people of Del Mar who made Earth Song what it is.� In upcoming weeks, Palmer said, Earth Song will be holding many sales and events, which will be announced on the store’s Face-

COSTS continued from page 1 threat seriously and to pay the teacher’s litigation costs. The district became involved, he said, “because of the safety of the kids on campus.� After handling three school shootings in San Diego County, Shinoff said he weighed the risks carefully and recommended that the district support the teacher. “The school district’s interest was to make sure that all students and staff were safe which is its constitutional obligation,� he said. If the district had not taken the reported threats seriously and someone had been hurt, Shinoff said people would view the tragedy as having been foreseeable and would consider that those “in loco parentis had recklessly disregarded the ob-
vious.� “That’s a huge calculated risk,� he said. Shinoff had no regrets about advising the district to take the case. “It’s easy to be a Monday morning quarterback,� he said in an email. The harassment case began on April 25 when the teacher filed a temporary restraining order against the mother, which was granted. The mother was ordered to stay at least 100 yards from the teacher until the formal hearing on May 13. At the May 13 hearing, after testimony, the restraining order was dissolved and “denied with prejudice,� meaning the case cannot be filed again. “The court initially granted the request for a temporary restraining order and later declined to grant a request for a longer term injunction,� Shinoff explained.
The case cost the district about $6,700, said Peabody – $2,875 to Shinoff’s firm to represent the plaintiff (the teacher) in court, and $3,800 to the defendant for her attorney’s fees. After finding in favor of the defendant, the court ordered the teacher to pay $3,800 to the defendant for reimbursement of legal fees. The DMUSD school board then met in closed session and agreed to pay the $3,800 owed by the teacher to the mother. It was after the case was officially closed in August that the district disclosed that the school board had agreed to cover these costs. The mother said her defense cost $4,500, and she will try to collect the remaining $700 in small claims court.

Transformation of UTC mall set to start A luxury 14-screen theater and an expanded 24Hour Fitness club will be among the first arrivals at the remodeled Westfield UTC shopping center, company officials said recently. Construction will start soon on the “total transformation,” with ArcLight Cinemas taking the upper levels of the old Robinsons-May building and 24 Hour’s Super Sport Club the lower levels. The first phase, set to be finished by the 2012 holiday
shopping season, will also include a remodeled dining plaza adjacent to the ice rink — separated so it won’t be cold and humid any more — and new dining options, including a Tender Greens organic restaurant. “We’ll be adding more and different stores, including some that are new to the market” over the next two to three years, said Tom Tierney, senior vice president for Westfield San Diego, although Phase 1 will not included additional retail space. “We’re recreating the overall retail environment.” Also planned is an entirely new look, with new store facades, a new children’s play area and family lounge, and a renovated “Palm Plaza” in the area outside the current food court. — Kathy Day

Brain Waves: Help make waves for brain cancer research at Oct. 1 event As the youngest in a family of “dedicated swimmers,” David Balch grew up poolside counting endless laps, recording swim times and witnessing firsthand his brothers’ commitment to reaching their competitive goals. David’s goal goes beyond the pool – his goal is to find a cure for brain cancer. In April 2006, David’s oldest brother Adam was diagnosed with glioblastoma, and began a two-and-onehalf year commitment to overcoming this often-fatal disease. During Adam’s numerous surgeries, courses of radiation and rounds of chemotherapy at UCLA, David could only offer his brotherly support. Then he decided to raise money. In 2008, David organized a “head shaving” fundraiser at Carmel Valley Middle School. Classmates and faculty joined in – shaved their heads – and together raised over $7,600 for UCLA’s Neuro-Oncology Program, “Art of the Brain.” In 2009, David’s fundraising commitment went beyond the Carmel Valley community, when he created the first annual “Brain Waves: Making Waves for Brain Cancer Research,” swim meet and encouraged swimmers throughout San

Carmel Valley resident heads Rady’s pediatric GI division BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor Dr. Ariel Feldstein, 38, a new resident of Carmel Valley, is the father of four young children, including triplets. He’s also a pediatric physician and scientist recognized for his innovative research and treatment of children with liver diseases and for inventing non-invasive diagnostic procedures to make a child’s clinical experience easier and less painful. And he’s the newly-recruited chief of the Pediatric Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Rady Children’s Hospital, the largest children’s hospital in California and the largest source of comprehensive children’s medical services, including outpatient clinics, in San Diego. Feldstein took up his new position at Rady’s two months ago after serving seven years on the pediatric staff of the renowned Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, the last three years of which as director of pediatric research. We interviewed him in his office at Rady’s main hospital on Children’s Way. He is definitely a man with a mission.
Quick Facts Name: Ariel E. Feldstein, M.D. Distinction: As a leading physician/scientist in pediatric hepatology (liver diseases among children), Dr. Feldstein recently joined the staff of Rady’s Children’s Hospital as Chief of the Pediatric Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. He is also a professor of pediatrics at UCSD. Resident of: Carmel Valley Born: Buenos Aires, Argentina, 38 years ago Education: M.D., with honors, University of Buenos Aires, School of Medicine, 1997; Postdoc Fellow, Department of Physiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, 1997-98; residency in pediatrics, Mayo Clinic, 1998-2001; Fellow in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, Mayo Clinic, 2001-04. Family: He and his wife, Bettina, (nee Papouchado), met in medical school in Buenos Aires. His wife is a pathologist. They have four children; Lucia, 4, and triplets, Natalie, Emily, and Dylan, 8, students at Sycamore Ridge School. Interests: Running, tennis, reading contemporary and classic novels, and South American literature. Current reading: “Freedom,” a novel by American writer Jonathan Franzen, and re-reading the classic Russian novel, “The Brothers Karamazov,” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Favorite getaway: Buenos Aires, Argentina Favorite foods: “Being an Argentinean, the barbeque is my weakness. I have to confess that.” Favorite films: Woody Allen films Philosophy: “My philosophy is: ‘Do things you feel passionate about; don’t be afraid of changes; learn from your failures and successes; and surround yourself with people who inspire you and push you to be better.”
His philosophy of living and working is simple: “Do things you feel passionate about; don’t be afraid of changes; learn from your failures and successes; and surround yourself with people who inspire you and push you to be better.” Last year, Rady’s gastroenterology division conducted 15,000 outpatient and inpatient visits and performed more than 2,100 procedures. With 19 specialists on staff, the division also operates outpatient clinics at five locations, including the main hospital and Rady’s facilities in Escondido, Encinitas, Oceanside and Murrieta. “My vision,” Feldstein said, “is to continue to strengthen what is being done at Rady’s and in the next several years for it to become one of the Top Five programs in the country.” Rady’s gastroenterology division recently ranked #31 among 177 U.S. children’s hospitals in a recent U.S. News & World Report survey to identify the top children’s hospitals in the country in 10 pediatric specialties. Asked how he intends to accomplish his goal of getting into the “Top Five,” he said: “We have just recruited a director for a new motility center for the testing of children with digestive disorders that we are opening later this fall; and we are in the process of recruiting a new director for the liver transplant program; and we are creating a new inflammatory bowel disease center. “With these three comprehensive centers, our goal is to provide the best possible care for children with these conditions and, at the same time, to innovate and

find new treatments and new non-invasive tests to diagnose and monitor these diseases.” Nationally, the numbers of children suffering from GI-related diseases, including liver diseases, has been growing “exponentially,” over the last two decades, Feldstein said, “and we believe that this in part is related to the obesity epidemic.” The most common liver disease in children, he said, is called the fatty liver disease, directly related to overweight and obesity and associated with insulin resistance and diabetes. Statistics indicate that 10 percent of children in the U.S. have fatty liver disease. “The vast majority of them have a benign condition;” he said. “however, a percentage of them have significant, progressive liver disease, with the increased risk of progressing to cirrhosis of the liver eventually requiring liver transplantation. “Those are the children for whom we are a national referral center here at Rady’s,” he said, “and part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) consortium
selected to study this disease.” Children diagnosed with liver fatty disease are treated with an intense, lifestyle program that includes diet, exercise, and counseling. “There are no medications that have been approved specifically for the treatment of the disease — and that is an area of intense research that we are significantly a part of. We are trying to identify new, safe medications that can be used because we know, unfortunately, that the lifestyle approach only works for a small percentage of children.” Feldstein was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the son of a cardiologist. He remembers, as a child, going to his father’s office and helping out in any way he could. Both he and his older sister followed in their father’s footsteps and became physicians. His sister is a breast pathologist in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “It was in my genes,” he acknowledged, “and there was no doubt that was what I wanted to do.” His grandparents were

TPHS junior takes passion for fashion to next level with new magazine BY KAREN BILLING Contributor Vanessa Pius, a 16-year-old junior fashion maven from Torrey Pines High School, is putting her passion for fashion and publishing on display with her very own magazine HABIT. HABIT’s first issue hit Torrey Pines on Wednesday, Sept. 21, and Vanessa aims to put out five issues a year on campus and to outside subscribers. “We want to branch out of Torrey Pines, too, because it’s too unique and cool a product to keep to ourselves,” Pius said of her hopes to get schools like Canyon Crest Academy and La Jolla High involved. “It’s a professional magazine run in the same way on a much smaller scale as any other publication. As difficult as it is, it’s a wonderful opportunity for me and everyone that gets to work on it.” Vanessa started taking more of an interest in fashion in her freshman year of high school. Her personal style developed by taking inspiration from the trends she saw around her and putting her own spin on them. “It’s about trends but working the trends so that you’re not looking like everyone else. You’re in style but you’re not a carbon copy, you bring your own personality to the trend,” Vanessa said. Her fall must-haves include midilength skirts, muted animal print and the red pant. After joining the staff of the school newspaper, The Falconer, as a freshman, she became absorbed in learning everything there was to know about publishing. She decided to strike out on her own with HABIT last December — a sample issue went out at the end of May and received a good response from her peers. Realizing she couldn’t do all the work on her own, Vanessa set to work building her staff and contributors, even casting for young models. “I held interviews because I have incredibly high standards and I found a couple really cool girls and one cool boy,” Vanessa said. The magazine is heavy on photo spreads because her sample issue received the most reaction from them. “We have really beautiful spreads,” she said, noting one

Vanessa Pius is Halloween-themed with splashes of “very in” leopard print. The September/October issue also includes some pieces on beauty and a feature on luxury movie theaters. Most of the clothing is loaned or donated by local boutiques — La Femme Chic in Solana Beach has been especially supportive. The store donated some fabulous Gucci boots (“We wouldn’t see those in our budget for 20 years,” Vanessa said) and even played host for a HABIT launch party on Sept. 22. While it is challenging managing fellow busy students and making sure all deadlines are met, Vanessa is having a great time, “I absolutely love it; it’s like having two full-time jobs,” Vanessa said, noting that school always comes first, “It’s like having a constant project to do, working on something different every day and it all comes together to create a really beautiful magazine.” Learn more about HABIT on Vanessa’s blog at habitmag.blogspot.com or facebook.com/HABIT-Magazine

TPHS junior helps raise $125K for Henry’s Fund Community encouraged to participate in SeaWorld event
A Place to Gather...
A Main Street for Carmel Valley
For more details, please visit our site: onepaseo.com
BY MEGAN MCVAY Intern Every time Torrey Pines High School junior Harrison Schneider walked down the street to babysit Henry Reif, 9, he knew he could expect several things: nerf gun wars, hide and seek games and animated movies. That much was certain. What Schneider didn’t see coming was the heartwarming relationship that Henry would soon lead him to – and the fundraising crusade that would help Henry battle a life-threatening illness. In March, Henry’s mother, Tracy Spiegel, took him to Rady Children’s Hospital to get his tonsils removed. The procedure went flawlessly and as they left the doctor gave him the standard medical warnings and reminded him to eat a lot of ice cream. But it wasn’t until six days later that Henry began to cough up excessive amounts of blood. He was rushed to the Emergency Room, and was immediately taken into surgery to stop the bleeding. After the surgery, he was brought to Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Rady Children’s Hospital, where care is provided by the Hematology/Oncology Division of Rady Children’s Specialists of San Diego. He spent the night at the hospital, undergoing several blood tests. Within three weeks, Henry was diagnosed with type B hemophilia. Lacking the ninth blood-clotting factor, hemophilia hinders Henry’s body’s ability to clot blood properly, making every injury a life-threatening emergency in which he must be rushed to the hospital to be monitored for internal bleeding. Because only 3,300 people have type B hemophilia in America, the factor medicine is not supplied at most hospitals and Henry’s mom, Tracy Spiegel, must keep at least three doses on hand, each costing $5,000. “Even when I’m not babysitting Henry, we still hang out all the time. Our families are closely intertwined. Our fathers work together and our mothers workout together,”
Harrison Schneider with Henry Reif said Harrison. “Since his diagnosis, we have still been able to pass the football around and go swimming. But it’s sad to know he won’t be able to play flag football or lacrosse like he planned on doing before.” By April, Spiegel had begun crafting the basis of what would soon become “Henry’s Fund,” a Miracle Maker Fund affiliated with Rady Children’s Hospital and dedicated to finding a cure to the disorder and aiding families who cannot afford the factor medication. In need of a partner, Spiegel approached neighbor, babysitter and trusted family friend, Harrison, and asked him if he would like to get involved with the foundation. Without hesitation, Harrison accepted. “Since it’s not as prevalent of a disorder as others, it’s the job of the family and friends of the person to come together and do something, instead of waiting for some corporate company to step in,” Harrison said. This summer, when Harrison wasn’t at crew practice or SAT training, he was going door-to-door in his neighborhood, The Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe, asking for donations. He also worked with Spiegel to develop a tagline, logo and fundraising plan. Henry, who Harrison describes as mature beyond his years, has also played a key role in the fund and its success. During a community meeting at the Children’s School in La Jolla, Henry got up in front of his entire school, explained his condition and asked students to join his cause. Additionally, he came up with the idea of donating video games carts and specially-designed Wii programs to the Peckham Center at Rady Children’s Hospital. Although Henry’s Fund
only officially began in June, they have already raised $125,000. The boundless support they have received from family and friends has confirmed their tag line: “Caring is in our blood.” Together, Henry and Harrison are currently working on their biggest fundraiser yet: The Shamu and You Family Walk at SeaWorld for Rady Children’s Hospital on Oct. 1. Recently, Henry and Harrison have been recruiting friends to walk in the event and asking neighbors to sponsor them. So far, Henry’s Fund has raised $10,587 solely for the event. The 68-member team has its own name too: Henry’s Hemophiliacs. Eventually, Spiegel and Harrison would like to be able to hire a fellow — a medical doctor who will be sponsored to study hemophilia. Henry’s Fund is vacillating between two subjects of potential study. The fellow’s research will either be focused on performing stem cell therapy to find a cure or making the doses of factor more affordable by finding a way to make injections last for five days, rather than only one. Although this goal still awaits in the future, Harrison and Henry are keeping busy with the many current plans they have together. “One thing we will be doing is speaking together at the Rady Children’s Hospital gala fundraiser. We will be speaking about all the fun times we’ve had together and also what Henry has gone through. I know it will be a good experience and hopefully it will bring in some donations,” Harrison said. To donate, find out more or participate in the Shamu and You Family Walk, email Harrison at Harrisonschneider27@gmail. com.

Fitness trainer hikes Mount Kilimanjaro for a cause BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor As the owner of Sharpe Fitness and CrossFit La Jolla, Brandie Sharpe stays in shape. And it’s a good thing, too, as the native Californian recently joined a 5-person benefit hike up Mount Kilimanjaro (19,340 feet) to raise funds for a much-needed ambulance for the Maasia people of Africa. “CrossFit makes you good at everything,” she laughed. “For our training, we started walking long distances and trying to adjust to the altitude.” Prior to Kilimanjaro, Sharpe said she hadn’t done any major hiking. “We did a lot of the local hikes, traveling to Breckinridge and tackling Yosemite’s El Capitan, but that was a walk in the park compared to Kilimanjaro,” she said. Still, Sharpe’s hike atop the dormant Tanzanian volcano wasn’t just a test of physical strength and endurance, it was for a cause: Sustainable Healthcare Assistance in Rural Environments. People made donations to
Brandie Sharpe and crew on Mount Kilimanjaro. send the hikers there. Sharpe explained the background: In 2010, Dr. Anna Kulidjian (an orthopedic surgeon at UCSD) and her husband visited a Maasai community at Campi Ya Kanzi in a remote area of Southern Kenya (at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro). The couple brought medical supplies donated by the group at UCSD and Dr. Kulidijian volunteered at the clinic, helping set up its trauma care. The village physician was away (one
doctor supports some 7,000 villagers) so she and “supernurse Vivian” manned the clinic on their own. Dr. Kulidjian reported more than 40 patients lined up outside the two-room clinic each morning! Most had walked miles to get there. An estimated 350,000 Maasai live in Kenya in rural and remote communities. They suffer from HIV, typhoid, malaria and TB. Though traumatic injuries and malnutrition are com-
mon in their children, most Maasai do not receive medical care early enough for effective treatment because there is no means of transportation. Without an ambulance, the village doctor can’t get to women in childbirth and patients with traumas can’t get to the hospital. Working with Dr. Kulidjian and the Maasai Wilderness Conservation, Sharpe and her fellow hikers spent two weeks in Africa. The group took the slowest and safest route up the mountain, “but even that has just a 40-percent success rate,” Sharpe said with a smile. The coffee brought to their tents at 6 a.m. each morning woke the hikers, and after their stats (oxygen and heart rate) were checked, they began walking around 7-7:30 a.m. Sharpe said they would hike for six hours and stop for the day, or hike for four
hours, stop for lunch, and then hike three more. Everyone in • Trek2Share.org, where Sharpe’s donations will go to group compurchase ambulances pleted the for the Maasai hike, a tri• www.maasaitrust.org umph in itself, and one hiker managed to run Mount Kilimanjaro — making it from the bottom to the top in just 7.5 hours. After the 8-day trek, Sharpe and her fellow hikers embarked upon a three-day safari. They returned home on Aug. 20. “Then I spent nearly two weeks recovering from my life-changing journey,” Sharpe sighed.

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor Carnivale is coming to the Coastal Rail Trail in Solana Beach and everyone is invited to be a part of this free celebration of the arts. Arts Alive on the Coastal Rail Trail (CRT) will take place on Sunday, Oct. 2, from noon - 4 p.m. The event embraces all aspects of the arts with a focus on involvement by community. The winner of “Best Event in San Diego County” for 2010, this year’s event will again feature live music, dancers, stilt theatre walkers, and visual artwork scattered about the CRT. Unlike last year, however, activities will take place along the section of CRT on South Highway 101 that spans from Lomas Santa Fe south to Via de la Valle. “It will be a fantastic day for art appreciation for the community,” said Carol Beth Rodriguez, a member of the Public Arts Advisory Commission that has overseen and organized the event with the City of Solana Beach. “There will be something for everyone. People will be able to actually experience the arts with their families.” There will be a mask creation station for children and adults – with all materials provided – headed up by five founding members of the Solana Beach Arts Association. Children age 10 and under should have an adult with them. And there will be plenty of inspiration along the CRT from which to draw, said Rodriguez. Local artists and students have created over 60 hand-crafted masks that will

be on exhibit. Some of the masks may be purchased, while most will be part of a silent auction along with the Arts Alive hand-painted banners that were hung throughout the city earlier this year. Monies raised go directly to support the city’s public arts programs. Canyon Crest Academy Dance Troupes will perform three separate dance pieces directed by CCA instructor and choreographer Rayna Stohl, who will also perform. The dances will take place on the Rosa Street Bridge and will incorporate the mask theme that is central to the event. Included in the line-up of guest artists is musician Peter Sprague; 2 Guys Will Move You; Patrick Burke; Steam Powered Giraffes; and students from North Coast Repertory Theatre School, each performing live theater; Rodrigo with his recycled artwork; Solana Beach’s Bruun Boys giant sculptures; the Living Statue; Patrick Burke and his steel drums; and back by popular demand, the Dragon Knights Stilt Theatre. The event takes a lot of manpower to organize and stage with many community volunteers involved. Katherine Schmiedeberg, a former commissioner on PAAC, and a Solana Beach resident, has a passion for the arts and is an active volunteer in aiding city arts events. She said that preparations for the 2011 Arts Alive on the Coastal Rail Trail began in January of this year. But with plenty of lead time and willing volunteers, all aspects of the event have come together smoothly, said Schmiedeberg, who did a lot of the behind-the-scenes work to find those volunteers, to design the advertising, and to organize the auction part of the event. “I like to see all the components come together successfully, which they did,” she said. Activities will take place close to the Rosa Street bridge, which creates a pedestrian link to South Cedros Avenue, increasing foot traffic there. “So people may walk across the bridge and also enjoy going to the farmers’ market,” said Schmiedeberg. It is anticipated that the event will be a huge draw for Where Pottery is just the beginning! the city and nearby coastal communities. “This is a unique, exciting event,” said Rodriguez. “And wonderful to experience things that you don’t normally see, all at once.” The Public Arts Advisory Commission (PAAC) invites everyone to stop by Solana Beach City Hall to see the masks created and decorated by artists for the “2011 Arts Alive on the Coastal Rail Trail” event. Donated by the artists, the masks will be sold via silent auction during the event. For more information on the event and to see the Arts Alive Masks and Arts Alive Must have this ad.

Fundraiser to benefit ‘Wine To Water’ organization Group helps get sustainable water systems to those in need BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor Water is a basic necessity in life, yet, according to the Wine To Water organization, nearly one billion people in the world today lack access to adequate water, 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation, and waterborne illnesses kill more people than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. This stunning fact motivated Doc Hendley – a “Top Ten CNN Hero” in 2009 and founder and president of the organization — into action.“We are devoted to fighting this epidemic,” he affirmed. On Saturday, Oct. 15, BRAVA Creative will host a free wine-tasting and catered fundraiser at Coast Photography on South Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach to benefit Wine To Water, a non-profit aid organization that provides sustainable water systems to needy people around the world.
Hendley will be at the event to tell his story and explain to those present how charitable donations fund water treatment projects in developing countries like Sudan, India, Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Haiti and elsewhere. Making guest appearances are Lt. Col. Jay Kopelman (Ret. U.S. Marine Corps), author of “From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava”and a former NBC military analyst; Chef Jeff, caterer and personal chef and founder at Taste Culinary; and Downtown Rob, ambassador of Downtown San Diego, who will serve as guest bartender for the evening. A former bartender in Raleigh, NC, Hendley recalled how the name of the organization and the concept came to him before he even knew about clean water issues. In December 2003, while he visited his parents in their North Carolina mountain retreat, a persistent phrase, “wine to water,” kept going over and over in his mind. And as the phrase was backward from
Doc Hendley PHOTO: PAUL SHERAR
the title of the familiar Biblical story where water was turned into wine, it caught his imagination. While thinking more in-depth about that phrase, Hendley considered if there were any issues with water and researched it online. “I was completely shocked to find out that more children die from unclean water than anything else in the world. I was more shocked that I had never heard about it and neither had any of my friends.” The movement was thus born. In 2008, the economic downturn coincided with Hendley’s 1-year-old child suffering serious health issues. The organization strug-
gled to survive. Then in February 2009, Hendley was surprised to get a call from CNN when he found out that he had been nominated for recognition as a CNN hero, one of over 9,000 nominees from 120 countries. A bartending colleague had put forward the nomination when she witnessed Hendley leave everything behind in the USA and move to Darfur, putting himself in harm’s way to start the organization in early 2004. A celebrity panel of judges chose Hendley as one of the Top Ten CNN Heroes from a short list of 30 finalists. “It was such a relief and brought the organization to another level,” said Hendley. “From there a storm of good things happened,” he add-
ed. When he secured a book deal to write his story, which will be released by Penguin Books on Jan. 5, 2012, the advance helped Hendley pay off some of the debt incurred through his child’s illness. And the award gave greater visibility to his organization. The free Wine To Water event will include opportunity drawings with items donated from Microsoft Corp, a portrait session and fine art print from award-winning photographer Kevin M. Connors, plus the chance to spend a day with a Navy SEAL, and more. It is anticipated that around 200 people will attend the wine-tasting event. It is hoped that $10,000 will be raised through individual
donations and purchase of raffle tickets which cost $10 each or $40 for five for prize drawings. “Wine symbolizes fortune in our society,” said Hendley. “Our goal is to give the fortunate population an opportunity to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.” The event is on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 6 p.m.-10 p.m., and will take place at Coast Highway Photography, 415 S. Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach. This is a free event but tax deductible donations are welcome.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Certified family law specialist/CPA provides unique service High Bluff Academy offers smaller class sizes and individualized instruction
BY KELLEY CARLSON CONTRIBUTOR A person going through a divorce may find that having attorney Nancy J. Bickford on his or her side can be an asset. Bickford is the only certified Nancy Bickford family law special- Photo ist in San Diego by Lauren Radack County who also has an active CPA (certified public accountant) license. “What that means is that I am familiar with financial statements, I am familiar with such concepts as business appraisals, tracing and income from businesses, so that I can conduct and understand discovery and tracing of financial and business issues in a divorce more readily than most other family law attorneys,” she said. “I love helping my clients understand and solve complex financial matters and unwind complicated tracing issues that many, if not most, other divorce attorneys may not understand or enjoy.” The Law Offices of Nancy J. Bickford exclusively practices family law, providing assistance in areas such as custody, spousal and child support, and
property division. Established in Carmel Valley in 2002, the firm serves all of San Diego County. Bickford didn’t initially set out to be a lawyer. Growing up in Ohio, she earned a bachelor of science degree with a dual major in systems analysis and mathematics from the state’s Miami University. She went on to receive an MBA in accounting from San Francisco’s Golden Gate University, graduating in 1976. After college, Bickford worked for Arthur Andersen & Co., where she audited businesses and financial institutions. Shortly later, she married and became controller for a firm operating hotel and real estate investments. During her career as controller, Bickford and her family moved to Scripps Ranch in 1985. “San Diego is a wonderful city,” she said. “It’s a great place to raise children.” In 1992, Bickford went off on her own. Realizing the need to support three children, she decided to pursue a career in law. “I knew I would have to go to work every day and work hard,” Bickford said. “The career of law is a very jealous mistress; it can be all-consuming. If you don’t love it, it can be very tedious. But it’s something I love to do. ... Helping people makes it all worthwhile.” Bickford attended the California Western School of Law in San Diego, and received her juris doctorate degree in
April 1996. She worked for a couple of San Diego-area law firms until 2002, when she opened her own practice in Carmel Valley. The attorney found many qualities that attracted her to the area — the lifestyle, schools, and proximity to dining, friends and the beach, among others. “It was my absolute positive dream (to live and work there),” Bickford said. These days, Bickford works with two associates in her office: Jeffrey B. Miller, a fellow California Western School of Law grad who joined the firm in 2005; and Bethany M. Ward, a graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law who came aboard in 2007. The team highly encourages its clients to resolve issues through mediation. Bickford said litigation is a last resort, “but we have the financial and business sophistication to get the results you deserve should you need to resort to litigation in your divorce.” At least 90 percent of the firm’s cases are settled out of court through mediation and negotiation, Bickford added. The Law Offices of Nancy Bickford is in the Del Mar Technology Center, at 12348 High Bluff Drive, Suite 220, in Carmel Valley. General office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For additional information, call (858) 793-8884 or go to www.bickfordlaw.com.
Carmel Valley now has another option for high school students who prefer smaller class sizes and individualized instruction. High Bluff Academy has recently been accredited as a full-time comprehensive school for students in grades 8-12. Classes are limited to 10 students and most classes have fewer than this. Parents can also opt to have their child take classes one-on-one. The school’s mission is to provide a high quality college prep program with an emphasis on health and fitness. For this purpose, the academy has formed a partnership with the Pacific Athletic Club. All students will be able to benefit from fitness instruction at the club as part of the physical education program. High Bluff Academy, located on High Bluff Drive, was founded in 2002 as a learning center for tutoring, test prep and college counseling. In 2005, it began offering courses for high school credit for students enrolled at Torrey Pines, Canyon Crest Academy and other schools in the area. More than 500 students a year attend courses and tutoring at High Bluff Academy. Many of these students have been accepted to prestigious colleges including UC Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford, Yale, Harvard, and other Ivy League schools. Struggling students, who had been discouraged from seeking a college education, have received help from High Bluff Academy and are now doing well in their chosen universities.

Real Money
BY TIM BINDER “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money” is credited to the late Senator and Minority Leader Everett Dirksen who was expressing his frustration, even then, of the ever-increasing national debt as it approached $328 billion in 1965. Of course the national debt today is more than 45 times greater than it was in 1965, vastly exceeding the rate of inflation, which is about seven times that of 1965. Most of us cannot comprehend how much a billion dollars, much less a trillion dollars, really is, so it may help to put our national budget and our national debt in a perspective that we can understand. We start with the U. S. tax revenues of $2.170 trillion, the federal budget of $3.820 trillion, new debt this year of $1.650 trillion, the current national debt of $14.271 trillion, and recent budget cuts of $38.500 billion. If we eliminate eight zeros, we have a family income of $21,700, money the family spent of $38,200, new debt added to the credit card of $16,500, total credit card debt of $142,710, and budget cuts of $385! The median household income for San Diego County is about $65,000, or three times the $21,700 above. If the median household spent like the federal government, the household would spend $114,600 per year, financing $49,500 of that amount on their credit card, and increasing their total credit card debt to more than $428,000, while trying to reduce their spending by $1,155. To illustrate his point, Senator Dirkson told the story of the city workers who dug a big hole in the street. When they replaced the dirt, there was a large pile of dirt left over that they did not know what to do with. So they thought and thought, then one of them said: “I know what to do. We’ll just dig the hole deeper!” Of course, the city workers could not solve their dirt problem by digging the hole deeper any more than Congress or the President can solve our fiscal problem by digging the fiscal hole deeper. That’s something we can all understand. Tim Binder practices law in Carmel Valley. He was formerly Vice Chairman of the Board and General Counsel for the Hotel Del Coronado. He and his family live in Del Mar Heights.

Protect against termites BY ERIC PAYSEN, PH.D. Contributor The end of summer brings with it melancholy, but here in Southern California, it also brings Santa Ana winds, wildfires and a much less publicized disaster waiting to happen: termites. Each September and October, millions of mating termites swarm through our skies in search of new homes to colonize. So, what’s the annual cost of this little slice of the circle of life? Five billion dollars. Yes, that’s billion with a “b.” Wood is critical to the survival of termites which is why swarms will fly around in the hope of landing on a woodframed home, garage, fence or gazebo. Poor eyesight leaves the fate of the termites up to the winds. For this reason, 99 percent of the termite in a mating swarm will die trying. Only 1 percent will successfully find a wooden structure to call home. The lucky male termites that do happen to latch onto a chunk of raw or ex-
posed wood will look for a female partner. Water-damaged eaves and paint-chipped fascia boards are the ideal conditions for termite romance. To termites, the exposed two-byfours of a garage are like merlot and a Barry White album. Inevitably, termite babies are born and the new family feeds itself on the structure. In time, the family becomes a colony, eating tunnels through the wood frame of the entire edifice, often hollowing out beams and studs until they crumble. Termite damage is commonly identified in door frames, garages and attics. Just about any wooden expanse, big or small, can be susceptible – even furniture and feng shui. Because termites work beneath the surface, it can take up to five-to-seven years before a colony produces any real detectable damage. San Diego, Riverside and Orange County are ideal breeding grounds because of the

Education Matters/Opinion
Del Mar Union’s legal battles BY MARSHA SUTTON Bowing to the Great Bureaucracy, I reluctantly paid the San Diego County Office of Education $1.52 to receive a piece of paper listing all the legal fees incurred from December 3, 2010 to August 2, 2011 for the Sharon McClain vs. Del Mar Union School District litigation. Although this information should be made available to the public without having to jump through so many hoops, particularly considering that it was a single, readily accessible page, sometimes it’s easier to give in than stand and fight on principle, when the amount of money is so minimal. So that’s how we know the cost of this lawsuit is approaching $90,000 so far, excluding the hearings that took place last month and all the hearings and court actions yet to come. McClain, the former DMUSD superintendent, sued the district last October after she was released in March 2010. In 2010, before the suit was filed, DMUSD superintendent Jim Peabody said the legal fees incurred by the district were $12,762. Once the suit was filed, the district’s litigation insurance carrier, the San Diego County Schools Risk Management Joint Powers Authority, took over. At that point, all legal fees were covered by the JPA, less a $1,000 deductible and the district’s annual premium of $21,808, Peabody said. According to information provided by SDCOE on that piece of paper, the insurance carrier paid $74,896.45 – all of it, except about $3,600 – to the district’s law firm on the case, Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz. With the district’s $12,762, this brings the total to about $87,600, to date. Back in May, I attempted to learn the costs without having to comply with SDCOE’s ridiculous demand for $1.52 to receive the information. But Diane Crosier, SDCOE’s executive director of the San Diego and Imperial County schools JPA, refused to comment, referring me instead to DMUSD attorney, Dan Shinoff. Shinoff did not reveal specifics but suggested that McClain’s attorney, Dale Gronemeier, was “trying to make it as expensive as possible.” Gronemeier, last week, objected to this comment, saying that Shinoff’s firm was the one employing delaying tactics and driving up costs. In Sept. 14 and Sept. 15 emails, Gronemeier wrote, “The Shinoff firm has stonewalled on discovery since last December by filing evasive responses and baseless objections to interrogatories and document demands and by refusing to allow Board of Education members to be deposed.” He said Shinoff and his team “would not legitimately respond to the most obvious and simple discovery requests” and unnecessarily increased billing hours. Gronemeier said Shinoff’s firm is paid an hourly rate, while his firm “is a hybrid partial hourly, partial contingent fee arrangement.” He said his fee structure pays most but not all of his firm’s overhead costs. To be paid personally, Gronemeier said he has to win the case. So billing extra hours, he said, “decrease[s] my firm’s profits from which I get paid rather than increasing them.” He said his firm’s payment structure “disincentivizes me from milking a case.” The courts validated Gronemeier’s complaints, he said, at a hearing Aug. 19 when the judge ruled that the school district needed to provide documents requested months ago and allow the depositions of specific board members.
Regarding a possible settlement, DMUSD trustee Doug Rafner, in an email to Peabody dated May 17, 2011, wrote, “I personally would like to discuss resolving this case in some way that does not involve running Marsha Sutton the district through the mud. Would the ‘insurance’ pay for a settlement of a case, or only for judgments?” Peabody responded to Rafner, writing, “We will get this on the agenda for the next meeting.” As this case churns through the courts, talk of a settlement seems to have dissipated. CPRA lawsuit These McClain-related emails were among those released by the district to Del Mar parent Michael Robertson after he filed a California Public Records Act request May 10 on an unrelated topic: the Week of Action last spring sponsored by the California Teachers’ Association, which was organized to rally parents and teachers to support more funding for education. Robertson said the material he received was incomplete, and that the district and its lawyers (Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz) were unresponsive to repeated attempts to obtain all requested documents related to the Week of Action. On Aug. 8 he filed a lawsuit against the DMUSD to force the district to comply with the CPRA request. To date, the district has not responded to the suit, he said. A letter supporting Robertson from former Del Mar parents John and Susan Miller was entered into the public record at the school board’s July 27 meeting. The letter expressed “concern and disappointment with the district’s apparent reluctance to respond” to Robertson’s CPRA request. “The community expects our elected and appointed leaders to fully embrace and promote the concept of complete transparency,” the Millers wrote, asking the district to stop “delaying requests for information that belongs to the public.” Of all the excuses the district gave for denying Robertson’s request (a letter dated May 27, 2011 from DMUSD assistant superintendent of human resources, Tim Asfazadour, offers a number of reasons), none was more outrageous than this one: that the records sought are exempt from disclosure “because the public interest in not disclosing the information clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure.” It’s hard to believe a public employee would actually put a provocative statement like that in print. Makes you wonder what they’re hiding. Unless the documents contain national security or nuclear secrets, no public interest can be served by suppressing this material. To claim the district can withhold what’s clearly public information to “safeguard the public interest” is patronizing, officious and insults our intelligence. Meanwhile, taxpayer money is being spent to fight Robertson in court. Don’t expect Robertson to cave. This will drag on until the DMUSD releases those documents.

continued from page 8 Russian Jews who had fled persecution in Russia before the 1917 Russian Revolution and had immigrated to Argentina. He grew up post-Peron Argentina. It was a time of transition from military dictatorships to democracy, he said, and as such, was, politically and economically, a chaotic time, “as is typical in Argentina, but it was a time of freedom, which was unique.” By 1983, when Feldstein was 11, he said, Argentina had passed through its period of military rule, and had become a democracy. He earned his M.D. from the University of Buenos Aires, School of Medicine, with honors, in 1997. At the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, he did a postdoctoral fellowship in liver pathobiology, a residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, completed in 2004. He subsequently joined the Cleveland Clinic where he developed a pediatric preventative metabolic clinic with a multi-disciplinary team of doctors and healthcare professionals who provided a comprehensive approach to preventing the onset/progression of metabolic complications of obesity in children. In 2008, he was appointed director of pediatric
research at the Cleveland Clinic and served as such until joining Rady’s. To keep in shape, the youthful-looking physician runs four miles a day, three or four times a week, and plays tennis. He’s an avid reader of contemporary and classic novels, and South American literature.
LIFEGUARD continued from page 2 cost. So far, the group has given the city $340,000, including the payment made Monday and a payment of $160,000 made earlier this year. The group plans to complete its pledge through two additional installments in February and April. The council approved the donation from the friends group and the construction contract on a 4-0 vote, with Councilman Mark Filanc absent. The existing lifeguard station is in disrepair, and lifeguards have to climb a rickety ladder to reach the second floor, said Mayor Don Mosier. “It’s falling down. It was built in the 60s, it’s just way too small and the building is not worth repairing,” Mosier said. Along with a new headquarters and locker rooms for lifeguards, the 2,400-square-foot building will include new public restrooms. Following the council’s vote, the friends group pre-
sented a symbolic oversized check to Mosier in front of the council dais. “We appreciate this check and all the fund-raising activity you’ve been doing,” Mosier said. In an interview, Barbara Harper, president of the Friends of the Powerhouse, said, “It’s so great to get it going.” The group has been holding fund-raising events and also selling naming opportunities, along with engraved bricks and planks for a boardwalk that will cover a drainage ditch near the new safety center. The boardwalk will improve both the appearance of the area and beach access, according to the Friends of the Powerhouse website. Fund-raising efforts are continuing as the friends group seeks to complete its pledge to the city. “The community, any contribution they make, gives heart and meaning to the project, everybody takes ownership that way,” Harper said. The friends group was formed to raise money for renovation of an old powerhouse at the beach which is now a community center where weddings, funerals, birthday parties and other events are held. The group is dedicated to raising funds for beacharea projects, Harper said. “If the city needs help raising money to complete a project, that’s what our goal is.” According to a staff report, the city issued a re-

quest for proposals for the project in August, and received six bids. E.C. Constructors, Inc., came in lowest at $2,071,958. When design and other costs and a 10 percent construction contingency are added, the total project cost is $2,667,958, according to the staff report. Funds for the project come from a variety of sources, including the sale of the Balboa lot, the Friends of the Powerhouse, a $650,000 grant from the Coastal Conservancy and $400,000 from the city budget, according to the report. The project will include demolition of the existing safety center and public restrooms, construction of the new safety center building, a sea wall and a box culvert drainage structure. Construction is expected to take nine months, with occupancy expected no later than June 2012, the report said. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for 1 p.m., Monday, Oct. 3, at the site of the existing life guard tower. Renderings of the project will be available for the public to view. Those who want to contribute to the project can join those who have already given money for naming rights of the first aid room

TERMITES continued from page 18 combination of heat and humidity that pervades regions during the months of August, September and October. Swarming typically takes place on sunny afternoons, when temperatures reach between 80 and 90 degrees. While termites are somewhat unpredictable and can infest any type of property, there are some measures that homeowners can take to minimize their chances of an infestation. Here are three ways to help protect your home: 1. Stay up to date on house repairs: Termites will try to find unpainted crevices or exposed raw wood fissures to bury themselves. Make sure that all wooden surfaces are sealed or painted. 2. Use fine mesh screens over vent openings: Attic and crawl space vents are a very common point of entry for termites. Installing a fine mesh screen on your vents is easy and inexpensive. 3. Get regular inspections: Most companies, such as Lloyd Pest Control, provide a free termite inspection. A healthy interval between inspections is two years. Eradicating termites before too
much damage is done can mean the difference between spending a couple of hundred dollars versus thousands of dollars in treatment. Termite damage occurs slowly over time, so catching an infestation early is critical. Don’t panic if you see a couple of termites here or there; this is natural and should not be cause for alarm. However, if you see a swarm emanating from your house, or see termites flying around inside, you likely have an infestation by a very mature colony. Other signs include piles of sawdust-like pellets or translucent wings abandoned near window sills and sliding glass doors. You should also be wary of surface blisters on wood. Often these blisters are caused by tunnels, or “galleys,” dug by termites. Following these simple preventative measures and being able to identify warning signs can help you avoid the costs and headaches caused by drywood termite swarms this season. Dr. Eric Paysen holds a Ph.D. in entomology and is the lead entomologist and technical director at Lloyd Pest Control, a Southern California-based company that specializes in ant and termite solutions.

Torrey Pines Pop Warner Falcons (D2) regain winning ways BY BILL BUTLER Following last week’s 2424 tie with the Murrieta Hawks, the Torrey Pines Falcons are again in the winner’s circle after a 35-0 victory over the Carlsbad Golden Lancers. The Falcons were represented at mid- Open field tackle by Garth Erdossy. Photo: Colleen Morgans field for the ColleenMorgansPhotography.com coin toss by Conner Whitton, Andre Norden, Tyler Alexander, and Zac Friedland. Torrey Pines won the toss and elected to defer their choice until the second half. After Mac Bingham’s kickoff was covered by Alexander, Garth Erdossy, Kevin Misak, and Beau Morgns at the 31-yard line, the Falcons held the Golden Lancers short of a first down on the initial possession and regained the ball at the Carlsbad 33-yard line. Tanner Watkins, Jackie Plashkes, and Zac Friedland had key defensive plays to hold Carlsbad short. On the second play of the possession, Zac Friedland took the ball over the right side of the line and then cut back to the left and 33 yards into the end zone. The PAT kick was just a bit wide and the Falcons were up 6-0. On the Golden Lancers’ next possession, three runs for no gain were followed by a pass on fourth down. The pass was a bit overthrown and settled into the waiting arms of Zac Friedland, who took the ball from the 44-yard line down the right sideline for touchdown number two. The PAT kick was blocked, and the Falcons led 12-0. The Torrey Pines defenders, Watkins, Plashkes, Morgans, Nick Zimmer, and Seth Friedman held the Golden Lancers to no gain in three efforts, and this time Carlsbad chose to punt. Friedland returned the punt 27 yards to the Lancer 29-yard line. Following a loss of 7 yards, Plashkes took the handoff over right guard, sidestepped a defender at the 25, and carried into the right corner of the end zone for another Falcon touchdown. Ryan Wells was perfect on the kick, and Torrey Pines led 20-0. On the next Falcon possession, with the ball resting on the 42-yard line, Conner Whitton wasted no time in getting the offense on track again. With three receivers running pass routes, Whitton hit the deep receiver, Alexander, in stride, and he raced untouched into the end zone. A PAT kick later by Wells, and the score was 28-0. The remainder of the game was played with a running clock. The Falcons would score once again to win 35-0. The Golden Lancers mounted a late drive that carried to the Falcon 18-yard line, but which ended at that point.

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR Football: Santa Fe Christian had its ground game clicking as the Eagles rolled up 256 rushing yards in a 25-15 nonleague victory over Coronado on Sept. 17. Tony Miro rushed for 149 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries to lead the Eagles offensively. Miro scored on a 62-yard run early in the second quarter that set the tone for the Eagles’ victory. Quarterback Connor Moore completed one of four passing attempts but made it count, connecting with Jarrod Watson-Lewis on a 17-yard scoring pass that gave the Eagles a 13-0 lead late in the first half. The Eagles stretched their lead to 16-0 on David VanViet’s 41-yard field goal in the third quarter. Then after Coronado closed to within 16-8 late in the third quarter, Watson-Lewis completed a 29-yard scoring pass to Cole Needham that made it 23-8.

A team of 10 youth golfers representing San Diego captured third place recently at the first-ever Junior League Golf World Series at TPC Sugarloaf outside Atlanta, beating their counterparts from Tampa, Fla., to close the inaugural two-day national championship on a winning note.

Q&A
Energetic director discusses ‘Odyssey’ In celebration of The Old Globe Theatre’s 75th anniversary, director Lear deBessonet and writer Todd Almond will premiere a musical theater event, “Odyssey.” The work reimagines Homer’s epic poem from deBessonet’s conversations with San Diegans at large. Commissioned by The Globe, “Odyssey” has a three-day run Sept. 30-Oct. 2 in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. DeBessonet is an energetic artist who is no stranger to creating big events. Her resume includes “The Scarlet Lear deBessonet Letter,” “My Fair Lady,” “Don Quixote,” a community-based collaboration with a homeless shelter in Philadelphia that was named in “Best Shows of 2009” by Philadelphia Weekly, and more. She was eager to talk about “Odyssey.”
Q. “Odyssey” is part of the Globe’s Southeastern San Diego Residency Project. How did it originate? A: I had a commission to create a piece for The Globe so several years ago I came to San Diego to meet as many different San Diegans as possible. Then Todd and I started working on the idea. He wrote the music and lyrics, and we imagined this ideal version of “what ifs” – we had the Valhalla High School Percussion Ensemble or 30 children from San Diego Jr. Theatre come running out from the floor, or Culture Shock San Diego to perform, St. Stephen’s Church Choir to sing and be the voice of Athena, or the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory to score a dream ballet of Odysseus’ homecoming? At one point Todd and I looked at each other like, really? Every outlandish thing we thought of we got, and we’re so happy the groups said yes. Q. The cast features 200 people. How do you pull that off? A: This is the largest cast I’ve ever worked with, but once it’s above 50 people it’s the same whether 60 or 300. You have to

CV man’s quest to help others deal with grief takes him to ‘Ground Zero’ event BY JOE TASH Contributor For the past 15 years, Ken Druck has helped grieving families move on with their lives. On Sunday, Sept. 11, he stood at a spot where the entire country’s grief was focused — the memorial park at “Ground Zero,” where New York City’s World Trade Center towers once touched the sky. Druck and his girlfriend, Lisette Omoss, traveled to New York to meet with families of people who died in the Sept. 11 attacks, and Druck also delivered a talk on promoting resiliency at a “Day of Remembrance” event organized by the nonprofit group Voices of September 11. Keynote speakers at the event also included Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Druck, a Carmel Valley resident and founder of the Jenna Druck Center, also attended the ceremony on Sept. 11 marking the 10th anniversary of the attacks and the unveiling of the memorial park, which includes pools where the towers once stood, and low walls engraved with the victims’ names.

A look at 13 artists working in Los Angeles in the 1960s and ‘70s, whose perceptual investigations and use of light and innovative materials helped define an era of art making in California, opens Sept. 25 at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

with rare, ephemeral, and site-conditioned works, some seen in California for the first time in decades, according to curators. “Phenomenal” will be accompanied by an illustrated catalog co-published by MCASD and University of California Press. “Due to the generosity of the participating artists and their estates, each of whom have opened their studios and archives to this project, the book is the most comprehensive publication in MCASD’s history, and something we hope will be valuable to researchers and general audiences for years to come,” said curator Clark. “Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface” is part of an initiative called “Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980,” a collaboration of more than 60 cultural institutions across Southern California, which collectively tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene.

How ‘Merlot’ can you go? La Jolla’s Art & Wine Festival will show Lillis has a background in musical theater and puts on his art events like they were a Broadway show. “It’s just like producing a show for the stage,â€? he laughed. “The artists are the cast for the festival, much like the actors are for the theater. The sets are the booths and tents, and the focus is on entertainment. “And we are also going to make this festival look very good. We are bringing in all the artists’ tents, so everything will be uniformly attractive. We will have set the tents up like a promenade; it’s going to be like strolling up the Champs-ÉlysĂŠes in Paris.â€?
The 2010 La Jolla Art and Wine Festival festival will go to La Jolla, Bird Rock, and Torrey Pines Elementary Schools — to support the art, music, and science programs on the budget-chopping block. Lillis is optimistic about the future of LJAWF, too. “Sausalito and La Jolla have a lot in common. Both are situated on the
water in a beautiful setting. There are many artminded people here, as in Sausalito, and I think we can build this festival into a Top 10 event,� he said. Lillis explained that he upped the quality of the art at LJAWF and brought in a nationally recognized panel of jurors who selected a very high level of works “to attract
greater interest.� “I promise that you are going to see some very unique things — things you never expected to see. We were able to get topnotch artists to attend because they know they can sell well at my events. In Sausalito, some of the sculptors were making upward of $100,000 in the three-day event.�

Mussels with sake, radish and bread
Burlap offers ‘the whole package’ to diners seeking new sensations BY KELLEY CARLSON ne of North County’s newest restaurants, Burlap, appears to be cut from a different cloth. Opened in July by celebrity chef Brian Malarkey and James Brennan — who also collaborated on Searsucker in downtown San Diego — the social dining establishment carries an “Asian Cowboy” motif. “Worldly, rugged, adventurous … that’s what I wanted to convey,” Malarkey said. Thomas Schoos designed the 9,000-squarefoot space (formerly the home of Wherehouse Music in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center) with items from China, Thailand, South Africa, India, The Philippines, Japan and Brazil. There are water buffalo skulls, Pakistani rugs, 200-yearold metal dragons, taxidermic specimens, a saddle, and oriental-patterned and animal-print cushions found throughout the restaurant; the establishment’s namesake “burlap” fabric is paneled on some of the interior walls. Authentic Chinese “Lion Dance” masks hang over the indoor bar, while the outdoor counterpart is inlaid with a dark brown, handcarved, 19th century Indonesian wall. Outside, patrons can lounge in chairs around a fire pit or dine at a table, and watch koi glide through a pond full of lily pads; bamboo surrounds the patio’s exterior. The lively Burlap is often full of chatter — guests may easily migrate from the lounge to the main dining area, to each of the bars and outdoors. Progressive music played by a DJ can also be heard Thursdays through Saturdays. A private dining room is available for those seeking more seclusion.

On The
Menu Recipe
Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ Celebrity chef Brian Malarkey, co-owner of the newly opened Burlap Malarkey noted that food can be eaten anywhere in the establishment. “You can stand up in the corner if you want to,” he said. Burlap’s motto is where the “West Eats Meat”; the menu is heavy with Asian-influenced protein entrees, many of which contain ingredients such as ginger, soy and pepper. Malarkey’s favorites include the Dungeness Crab, with wasabi cocktail and avocado; Spicy Tuna-Crispy Rice, featuring albacore and spicy caper mayo; Whole “Angry” Snapper, containing serrano, orange, garlic and basil; Garlic Noodles; and Pork Belly with steamed bun, lime hoisin and pickled vege. Some vegetable options are available, such as Heirloom Tomato & Tofu, Field Greens (strawberry, seven-spice walnuts, goat cheese and plum vinaigrette) and Enoki Mushroom (arugula, smoked soy vinaigrette). “Completely kid-friendly” for lunch and early dinner Sunday through Wednesday, Burlap does not offer a children’s menu, according to Malarkey. However, the restaurant
■ This week: Burlap’s Asian Cowboy Shrimp and Grits will prepare items like french fries, chicken satay and rice, for the youngsters. Malarkey advises grown-ups to come in with friends and “work your way through the menu.” Try something new each time, he suggests, and then hang out in the lounge and order a mixed cocktail. Burlap’s signature drinks include the Shanghai Mule, made with Ty Ku sake, ginger beer, fresh lime juice and house-made Chinese five spice bitters; and the flaming Smoke and Mirrors Cocktail Co. Punch, which contains light and dark rums, Velvet Falernum, guava puree and pineapple juice. Burlap tends to get booked, especially Thursday through Saturday nights, so Malarkey recommends reservations, although walk-ins are welcome to find a seat on a couch. “There are so many things we offer,” he said. “We’re social, huge, there’s the decorations, the staff is warm and funny, the drinks are amazing. The food is over the top, unusual, fun and exciting. We’re the whole package.”

Sophomores prepare for National Charity League fashion show High school sophomores from eight local schools are preparing for their National Charity League fashion show, “STYLE re-di-find,” to be held Oct. 2 at the La Costa Resort & Spa. In addition to rehearsing on the catwalk and being fitted for the latest fashions from Tobi Blatt, Pink Lagoon, TRE and other boutiques, these girls recently posed for a photo shoot at San Dieguito County Park, which provided a natural background to highlight the “vintage femme” theme. Photographer, Lindsey Carlyle, worked her magic capturing the youthful beauty of each girl. The mission of the National Charity League is to foster the mother-daughter relationship in a philanthropic organization committed to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences. The purpose of the annual fashion show is to provide the 10th grade girls with training in the areas of poise, stage presence, self esteem and personal style. This year the event will also be a collection point for the “WE CAN” drive of canned goods for San Diego Food Bank and Military Outreach.

To Your Health: Are you at risk for diabetes?
San Diego Botanic Garden to hold Orchid Fair Oct. 1-2
BY ATHENA PHILIS-TSIMIKAS, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably heard that diabetes has become an epidemic in the United States. According to the American Diabetes Association, 18.8 million adults and children have been diagnosed with the disease, and another 7.0 million are yet to be diagnosed. Despite the rapidly increasing number of cases, however, diabetes is not a disease that happens overnight. Most cases of diabetes are type 2, which develops over time as a result of lifestyle factors such as obesity and lack of exercise. Type 2 diabetes often begins as a condition known as prediabetes, in which a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not yet elevated enough to qualify as diabetes. Prediabetes is estimated to affect 79 million people in the United States, although most donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know they have it. Though it often has no symptoms, it can do serious damage. Many people with prediabetes will develop health problems commonly associated with diabetes itself, such as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, prediabetes is likely to lead to type 2 diabetes within 10 years. Since the condition has few if any symptoms, how do you know if you have it? A blood test that measures the level of glucose or sugar in your blood can give you an answer. There are several tests used for diagnosis. Two require fasting for at least eight hours before testing to ensure that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consume anything that may affect the test results (eating or drinking may raise your blood glucose levels). The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) measures your glucose levels first thing in the morning after you have fasted during the night. A fasting blood glucose level below 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) is considered normal; 100-126 mg/dl is considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;at riskâ&#x20AC;? for diabetes. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures your blood glucose once after you have fasted. Then, you will be given a spe-
Join the San Diego Botanic Garden for the splendidly colorful San Diego International Orchid Fair, Oct. 1 (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) and Oct. 2 (9 a.m.-4 p.m.) where countless varieties of orchids grace the grounds, some in exhibits and some for sale. Learn from the experts how to care for your newly
cial high-glucose beverage to drink; two hours after you finish it, your blood glucose levels will be measured again. At this point, a blood glucose level below 140 mg/dl is normal. Recently, a newer non-fasting test, HbA1C, has been used to measure how well your average blood glucose has been controlled over a period of two to three months. This test measures the percentage of glycated hemoglobin, or HbA1c, in your blood. A normal value is less than 5.7 percent; a value between 5.7-6.4 percent puts you in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;atriskâ&#x20AC;? category. Who should be tested? If you are age 45 or older and overweight, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to have a prediabetes screening at your annual physical exam. Adults of any age who have other risk factors for diabetes or prediabetes, including a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, or a history of gestational diabetes should be tested as well. Ask your physician if testing is right for you. Does being at-risk mean you are destined to develop diabetes? No. By taking steps to reduce your risk factors, such as losing excess weight and increasing exercise, you can lower your risk of developing fullblown diabetes. The recent Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health found that losing just 5 to 7 percent of body weight helped people who had a higher risk of diabetes delay or prevent the disease. This weight loss, along with 30 minutes of daily moderate physical activity such as walking, reduced the onset of diabetes by 58 percent. In fact, some patients have even seen their blood glucose levels return to normal levels as a result of this treatment.

Creighton-Davis Gallery opens Creighton-Davis Gallery, established in 1986 in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., has relocated to Solana Beach. Currently Creighton-Davis Gallery is located at 115 N. Highway 101, Solana Beach, CA, Phone 858-259-8616. Crieghton- Davis Gallery is noted for its extensive experience in buying and selling rare art from the 15th to 21st century. Currently, the gallery is showing works of Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Roberto Matta, Picasso, Henry Moore, Georges Rouault and Gayle B. Tate as well as many other works by museum quality artists. Creighton-Davis acquires art from estates, private collections, museums, and other secondary sources and is always looking to purchase fine individual works or distinctive collections. Creighton-
Davis also represents in-depth a select group of artists whose work has generated substantial critical interest but who are less well known. The principle focus of the gallery is to represent works that are likely to sustain the interest of connoisseurs, curators, and art historians over time. CreightonDavis avoids reproductive prints and concentrates on unique expressions of the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pictorial and conceptual talents in all media (paintings, prints, sculptures, or constructions). Creighton-Davis presents special showings of works or collections from time to time and interested art lovers may sign up by email to receive notices of events, shows, auctions, etc. Emails regarding works for sale or events inquiries can be sent to art@rareart.com.

Connerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cause for Children is the only non-profit organization in the San Diego region that offers direct family assistance for out-ofpocket expenses relating to any and all life- threatening illnesses associated with children. The event will feature cocktails, hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres, silent auction, dinner and a live auction. Enjoy music and line dancing by ZG Productions. The families below will be among those who benefit from the event proceeds: Nancy is the mother of 2-year old Johnny and two other children
under the age of 10. Johnny was born with severe congenital heart disease, shortly before his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third deployment as a Marine to Afghanistan. Because of Johnnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demanding treatment schedule, Nancy was unable to go back to work and tries to make do on a service memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income, but some months she comes up short. Connerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cause regularly sends her gas cards to help defray the costs of the hundreds of extra miles from Camp Pendleton to San Diego for Johnnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatments, as well as cover the costs of the special nutritional supplements Johnny needs to help him grow, which are not covered by his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance. Susan is a single mother of four young children, including 10-month-old Annie and her
2-year-old brother, Jacob, who both suffer from cystic fibrosis. When she can, Susan tries to earn extra income as a housekeeper, but it is difficult to stick to a schedule when Annie or Jacob or both are admitted to the hospital for a CF exacerbation or other critical treatments. Connerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cause for Children regularly sends gas and Wal-Mart cards to Susan so that she can drive back and forth to the hospital when either Annie or Jacob are admitted and purchase diapers, wipes and other care related supplies for their in-home care. Tickets are $125 per person. Accepting auction donations. Sponsorship opportunities available. For more information, call (619) 540-1650 or visit www.connerscause.org.

Two local teens raise money to build basketball court in Uganda James Lock and Devon Roeper, both 16, traveled to Uganda during June of 2010 with the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heritage Foundation, a Del Mar nonprofit foundation. Initially, they both spent time working at the Victorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School in Mokono, an orphanage and boarding school which boards about 400 school children in barrack-like quarters and provides K thru 8 education for a total of about 800 children. Although the school and dormitories provide a safe environment for the children, the living conditions were basic at best with 20-30 children to a bedroom and no electricity or indoor plumbing. The only water source was a pump in the middle of the school campus. They also noted that the youth in the community hung around in large groups and had no safe or constructive activities to participate in. James stayed at the Victorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School and helped build a soccer field. He remembers how excited the kids were to have a place to play soccer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wanted to help us during their class breaks. It was so hot and humid, but they never complained, and they started playing on the field before it was complete.â&#x20AC;? While James remained in Mokono, Devon traveled to the north of Uganda and worked with a mobile medical team, providing medical treatment to people in the bush near the Congo and Sudan boarders. The team served 600-700 people a day, many of whom had never had access to a physician or medical treatment.
When James and Devon returned home, they were determined to make a positive difference in the lives of the children in Uganda. They both had a love for basketball and played for their respective high school teams, so they started to investigate the possibility of building a basketball court in Mokono. They began to think Devon Roeper and James Lock of ways to raise the ball jerseys. She approached her high money necessary to school, Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and was elated at a build the court. donation of over 150 jerseys and Instead of receiving presents for shorts.

Not just munities, with the goal of competing content with a basketball court, Devon began looking for donations for basket- in some national tournaments.
James and Devon are not done with their commitment to make a positive change in the lives of the children in Mokono. They both plan to return to Mokono in August of 2012 to hold a basketball clinic for boys and girls in the town. During this year, they plan to get donations for basketball shoes and equipment. They are both interested in having their efforts be bigger than just the building of a basketball court and are hoping to see a legacy of partnership develop between their schools and the kids of Mokono, that outlasts their time at Santa Fe Christian and Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. James and Devon want to publicly thank everyone who has contributed to making the basketball court a reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done it alone,â&#x20AC;? James says. If you would like to donate money, basketball equipment, athletic shoes, or uniforms for the children of Mokono and the Victorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, please contact: Robert Lewison, Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heritage Foundation at robert@ childrensheritagefoundation.org or (619) 787â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8587.

Girls Rule programming workshop offered
•Local students gain summer jobs as computer programmers
•Six-w eek introduction to Java for girls
BY VIC WINTRISS Four local teenagers have earned the opportunity to participate in paid Java programming internships at technology companies around San Diego during the summer. Wintriss Technical Schools, a nonprofit, public benefit teaching institution, offers a unique Java training program that pairs students, as young as 10 years old, with working technology professionals to learn the ins and outs of computer programming. Students learn Java from experienced, local volunteer programmers. The WTS Internship Program is an extension of the school’s after-school curriculum that teaches kids Java, starting in the fifth grade, by writing computer games and by programming robots. Students that are of legal working age of 14 are eligible to apply for a summer intern job if they have done three years of training at the school and have successfully passed the Computer Science AP exam that is given in May. Ryan Kemper, pictured at right, passed the CS AP exam in the eighth grade. Students that have met the criteria may get paid, summer internships through the program. A number of local companies are participating. “We’re thrilled at the participation we got this year from some of San Diego’s most innovative technology companies. We are looking forward to expanding the program and hope to place more students next year.” says Vic Wintriss, the executive director of Wintriss Technical Schools. Student interns perform real programming tasks, doing things like writing test tools, and fixing minor defects. “I’d much rather be programming than working at a burger place or something like that. Getting real-world programming experience is priceless”, said Jared Schrock, who worked as a Java programmer this summer. “Really, for software development most of the innovative stuff is happening at private companies. Seeing how it all works, first-hand, is really great,” he said. Nachi Baru, who passed the CS AP exam in May, spent the entire summer writ-

WTS’s goal is instill a lifelong passion for technology and innovation in its students. There are openings for Java professional programmers who would be willing to volunteer for two hours per week to help teach classes at WTS. Volunteers find the experience extremely rewarding, working one-onone with students and following them as they grasp new programming concepts. Current WTS volunteer teachers work for Qualcomm, OnRamp Wireless, Flextronics and eTouchPoint. For more information on Wintriss Technical Schools programs visit www.wintrisstech.org.
BY VIC WINTRISS Computer programming is a fun and well-paying career. Companies like Google, Apple and Amazon are some of the best places in the world to work, and women are under-represented in this professional segment. Wintriss Technical Schools, a local non-profit after school institution, offers classes to kids starting in the fifth grade who would like to learn how to write computer games and how to program robots. The school teaches the popular Java language... the language used to program the Android cell phone. The University of Washington has developed a couple of videos available on YouTube showing women at work at Google, Amazon and Microsoft. You can view them at www.wintrisstech.org/videos. A six-week, introductory workshop for girls will be offered at the WTS Carmel Valley campus starting in early October, meeting for two hours every Sunday afternoon for six weeks. The workshop will feature writing computer games, and will be taught by volunteer, local Java professionals. Scholarships are available. “I’m looking forward to this workshop”, said Aaron VonderHaar, a volunteer teacher at WTS. “We are going to make it interesting for girls”, he said. Aaron is developing the workshop curriculum with advanced student Nammi Baru. “This should be a fun workshop,” Nam-
Aaron VonderHaar and Nammi Baru working on Girls Rule curriculum mi said. “An intro workshop is a great way for students to get introduced to computer programming and to do it in a fun environment with their peers.” WTS has openings for Java professional programmers who would be willing to volunteer for two hours per week to help teach classes.

Coast Walkers are making their way up to Oregon BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor A group of local residents who call themselves “The Coast Walkers,” rack up 50 miles per year on their goal to perambulate from Southern California to Oregon — not bad for trekkers age 65 and older. Group leaders Ron Williamson and Nick Haritatos have been strolling around San Diego every Sunday for the past 15 or 16 years, and dreamt up the idea of walking beyond town — with their wives in tow — 10 years ago. “We have had our feet in every hill, mountain and beach in San Diego,” Haritatos said. “So we decided to see more and walk from south of Imperial Beach, near the Mexico border, all the way up to the California/Oregon border.” Williamson chimed in, “Our walks have shown us why people say California is different. There’s no other place where you can walk all day and never run out of beach.” Both ex-pilots, Harita-
To join Coast Walkers • The next weeklong trip starts at the end of October. Newcomers are welcome by calling Nick at (858) 405-7476 or Ron at (858) 245 9338, e-mail rww@williamsonbrownlaw.com • If you join, van transportation and motel reservations will be made for you on a share-the-cost basis.
tos and Williamson said they relish in planning their biannual trips with the Coast Walkers, using GPS, satellite images, and a California Coastal Trail book to map out their journeys. But even though they carefully set their daily mileage goals, make no mistake, the Coast Walkers are all about fun! They stay in hotels and eat at restaurants during their weeklong excursions, “we want to keep our wives happy, after all,”
TASTE OF DEL MAR: 1pm–4pm $25 (advance purchase) $30 (day-of event)
Haritatos joked. Their days on the road begin at 7:30 a.m., when they meet for breakfast at their hotel (they try to stay two nights per stop if possible) and discuss any issues they might encounter that day. They begin walking at a “nice pace” at 8 a.m. and stop throughout the day to eat and gaze at their surroundings. Walkers are free to stop at any time. They have a driver following with a First Aid kit and other necessities. Those who don’t want to stop walking wrap up their day at 6 p.m. when the group reunites for dinner. The Coast Walkers pick hotels located along the coast and try to walk against traffic to reduce the risk of injury. They plan their route so by lunchtime they are near a state park or town where they can rest and refuel. On Oct. 31, the Coast Walkers (eight total so far) will embark on a trek from Greyhound Rock Beach (Santa Cruz) to Golden Gate
Members of the Coast Walkers include Nick and Ann Haritatos, Ron Williamson, Joanna Brown, and Leila and Marshal Taylor, pictured here looking at the Boardwalk at Santa Cruz, the midpoint in their walk from the San Diego/Tijuana border to California’s northern border. Bridge. They also have their spring trip on the horizon, with 14 people confirmed to participate. In mid-May, the Coast Walkers will make their way from San Francisco Bay to the Russian River, located South of Fort Ross.
DEL MAR ART STROLL: 10am–5pm Original artwork, live music, kids activities, dog stroll, FREE!
“I am 70 years old, so I want to reach the Oregon Border on our walks before I meet my maker,” Williamson joked. Not missing a beat, fellow walker Haritatos quipped, “We’re all younger
than he is.” Ten years into their odyssey, and having reached the mid-point at Santa Cruz, they now plan two walking vacations each year so they can reach their goal by 2015 or sooner.

Fall’s Beauty and the Beast ‘pear’ up for sweet treats The Kitchen Shrink
CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor If fruits and veggies were to enter a beauty pageant, the curvaceous and graceful pear would win the swimsuit competition, while the knobby, snarly (yet sweet and mild-tempered) celery root would definitely snag Miss Congeniality. These are two of autumn’s most divine bounty. We Make a Perfect Pear In the produce aisles, the bevy of beauties is displayed in Technicolor rows – emerald Boscs, rubytinged Anjous, golden Asian pears and periodot Bartletts. Pears are close cousins to apples, the American varieties originating from Central
Asia, with a migration pit stop though Europe. They are as healthful as they are divine with a powerhouse of potassium to replenish lost liquids in the body, along with 10 percent of the daily Vitamin C requirements and a motherload of antioxidants. The fiber in pear’s high pectin content makes this fruit one of nature’s best rotorooters. As an added boon, pears have zero cholesterol, sodium and saturated fat, and dial-up energy with high amounts of fructose and glucose, and the planet’s sweetest of natural sugars, Levulose. Anjous are named after the region in France where they’re plentiful. When ripe, these beauts yield to slight pressure around the stem, but when the skin is mostly yellow, they are probably over ripe. Super sweet, Anjous pair well with assorted cheeses, are ideal for dessert tarts, or sliced in warm wilted salads. Although Asian pears physically resemble apples they originate from a pear tree species native to China, Japan and Korea. These are best eaten solo munched like an apple. Unlike other
pears these are solidly firm when ripe, and don’t yield with pressure. A strong, sweet aroma is the telltale sign of ripeness. The Bartlett, discovered in 1765 by a British schoolmaster, is ripe when the green morphs to yellow and exudes a sweet aroma. This stunner is the most common canned variety, while it can be baked, poached, tossed in salads or eaten in hand. Boscs are typically dark yellow with some sprin-
klings of cinnamon-colored specks on the skin. They are grown in California, Washington and Oregon. Pears ripen best in cool, dark places and can be refrigerated for a few days. Like all delicate beauties, handle with care. When serving sliced raw pears, squeeze a few drops of fresh lemon juice on the cut surface to prevent discoloration. Celery Root Rocks Like the ugly duckling,
the celery root, aka celeriac, is frequently passed over in the produce aisle for its homely and earthy appearance. But among chefs and foodies, celeriac is king, especially for preparing the beloved cold French salad recipe Celery Remoulade. Don’t be fooled by its gnarly exterior, as this root rocks. Once the knobby skin is peeled, the alabaster flesh, sweet and appletextured that exudes herbivorous nuances of celery and fresh parsley can be shredded into salads or a celeriac slaw, puréed with potatoes and wild mushrooms, added to soups to hike up flavor, baked in gratins or roasted with a drizzle of olive oil and herbs. Packed with potassium and phosphorous, celery root makes a refreshing non-starch substitute for potatoes. When selecting celeriac, pick one that is firm to the touch and the size of a softball, as the larger roots tend to be woody. They store well in a cool, dry place for three to four months. Once peeled, prepare a milk bath with lemon juice to preserve its creamy color.
Roasted Pears with Pecans Kick off the season with these blissful baked Boscs, and when you think it can’t get any better, top it with a dollop of vanilla bean gelato. Ingredients 3 firm Boscs or Anjous peeled, halved, cored 1/2 cup toasted, chopped pecans Juice from one lemon 1/3 cup unfiltered apple juice 1/3 cup dark brown sugar 3 tablespoons sweet butter Method: Preheat oven to 375º F. Place pears core side up in a square-baking dish, fitting tightly. Squeeze lemon juice on cut surfaces, and fill indentations with pecans. In a small saucepan heat juice and sugar on low, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add butter, and stir until melted. Pour mixture over the pears and bake until golden and tender, about 30 minutes. Top with gelato, or frozen treat of your choice. For additional pear or celery root recipes e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or check out FreeRangeClub.com.

Ken Druck and Hillary Clinton
DRUCK continued from page B1 “I was feeling like I was in the presence of something so honorable that had been given to the families of those who were lost, including police and firefighters and first responders, and the overwhelming sense of love,” said Druck of the ceremony. Druck was inspired to launch a nonprofit foundation dedicated to helping families through the bereavement process after his older daughter, Jenna, died in a 1996 bus crash while studying in India. The Jenna Druck Center offers support groups, grief education and other services for people whose loved ones have died. The center also has a program that offers mentoring and leadership training for teenage girls. Over the years, Druck — who was trained as a psychologist but no longer practices — has been called to assist at numerous tragic events, from airline crashes to school shootings. In 2001, he received requests to help families of the Sept. 11

victims deal with their loss. Over the next four to five years, he traveled back to his native New York to meet with families, consult with the New York Fire Department and help set up programs for the bereaved. He has also worked with North County residents and others from Southern California who lost relatives in the Sept. 11 attacks. His approach, said Druck, is to deal with grief on a human level. “Our orientation is to normalize and humanize grief,” he said. “Grief is a human, normal response to loving somebody and losing them.” The Sept. 11 commemoration, he said, offered a bittersweet opportunity to reconnect with people he has worked with over the years, and also to experience the newly opened memorial in person. He recalled one man who came up and hugged him, because an inspirational CD Druck had recorded about dealing with the loss of a loved one had helped the man deal with his own grief. Druck said he spoke with Hillary Clinton, who
Hope for a Cure fundraiser to be held Oct. 8 Hope for a Cure’s annual fundraiser, which includes a wine tasting, appetizers, entertainment and a silent auction is coming up soon. This year the event is on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Del Mar Marriott. Hope for a Cure is a unique non-profit organization. Its board identifies cancer researchers in the San Diego area that are in need of scientific equipment to further their efforts in the treatment of cancer. Hope for a Cure raises the funds, locate the equipment, purchase it directly from the manufacturer and donate it directly to the scientist. They have no overhead or administrative fees. 99% of every donated dollar goes to purchase the equipment. The event is fun and educational. For details, visit www. hopeforacurefoundation.org. You can buy tickets ahead of time by calling 858-7562405.
along with her husband, President Bill Clinton, helped clear the way for Jenna Druck’s body to be transported back to the United States after her death. Druck continues to serve on the board of the Jenna Druck Center and also run support groups and teach grief education classes. His for-profit business, Druck Enterprises, Inc., provides such services as executive coaching, organizational consulting and teambuilding support. He said he is proud of the role the Jenna Druck Center has played in helping victims of the Sept. 11 tragedy, along with helping others dealing with the loss of friends or relatives. “Our challenge as a community and a nation is trying to become more griefliterate. Our challenge going forward is to turn painful memories into expressions of love for what we’ve lost,” he said. For more information, visit www.jennadruckcenter. org.
Q. You worked with Todd before on several shows including “On the Levee” at the Lincoln Center. What’s your collaboration like? A: There is fluidity between us that makes it possible to do something like this. He’s one of the most talented composers of a new generation of musical theater writers, and he has a generous spirit, which this project requires in working with all of these people. Q. “Odyssey” chroni-
cles the trials the ancient Greek hero Odysseus faces on his long journey home from the war at Troy. Disguised as a beggar he must win back his wife, Penelope, and take revenge on the suitors who have been circling her in his absence. Why was this the story you chose to tell? A: I spent 14-hour days talking to people all over San Diego – from Balboa Park, the YMCA, border guards, and people taking tutoring sessions – to ask how they came to make San Diego their home. A recurring theme arose that made me think of the “Odyssey,” one of our great narratives of a journey toward home, or someone trying to reconcile with their family. Q. Does it help that choreographers Tony and Maria Caligagan have Globe experience? A: Yes. In addition to knowing the space and institution, they have an ease with each other, and with

this big of a production, you need two choreographers. Q. In addition to community groups there are professional cast members as well? A: Yes. Todd and I worked with Shelly Thomas (Penelope/Circe) before in “On The Levee.” Todd knew Alvin Crawford from Julliard and thought he would be the perfect Odysseus. And Todd plays the Singer. Q. Do you have a favorite element of the show? A: Every time a new group comes into the room I feel like I’m falling in love with them. They are all so great, especially since among the 47-core ensemble, a lot had never performed a production before. But then we have three female students from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts who blew us away. It will be a terrific event.
Friends of Scott Foundation ‘Lights Up the Holidays’ This year marks the 10th anniversary of Scott Delgadillo’s passing and the goal of the Friends of Scott Foundation is to make 2011 the Foundation’s most memorable year ever. The 7th annual ‘Light Up the Holidays with Hope’ event will be held this year on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 6:30-11 p.m., at Anthology, 1337 India Street. This is the organization’s largest fundraising event of the year. The event includes a cocktail party with music, entertainment, live and silent auctions, and delicious food. Several levels of sponsorship are available for the 7th Annual Light up the Holidays with Hope event. Become an Angel by donating $3,000 or purchase individual tickets for only $100. Each year, 150 San Diego children are diagnosed with cancer. Every dime of your generous contribution directly supports not only the Foundation’s Unforgettable
Proms, but the many programs the Foundation provides such as its Special Dreams Program (a miniature version of “Make a Wish”), a national scholarship program for cancer survivors, and ongoing programs at Children’s Hospital including our parent support group, Café Con Leche, and the bedside reading program, Ready to Read. Throughout the year they also celebrate special occasions such as Mother’s Day, Halloween, and Christmas. Foundation members take dozens of photographs at every event to give parents cherished mementos of the happy time with their children. Photos from prom and all of the activities can be viewed at www.friendsofscott.org. For tickets to the Nov. 12 event or for information on becoming a sponsor, call Carmen Delgadillo at 619-993-2917, Ann Grausam at 858-245-1782, or Teresa Miller at 858-518-4202.

Pardee Homes offering reduced pricing up to $50,000 on new homes in Carmel Valley Pardee Homes has announced it is offering savings of up to $50,000 on select new homes in Carmel Valley. This limited time only offer is available for the next two months on purchase agreements written on or before Oct. 31, 2011. The special promotion spotlights homes available at five new home neighborhoods in North San Diego and includes floor plans designed to meet the needs of a wide range of home shoppers from first-time buyers looking for an upscale, easy-living townhome to a move-up home with as many as six bedrooms. “Our online sales counselor is ready and waiting to answer questions and guide home shoppers to the right neighborhood in the right price range,” said Rachel Collins, director of sales for Pardee Homes. “There really couldn’t be a better time to buy then now, while interest rates remain low and we are offering our best pricing in the most wanted neighborhoods in San Diego. All of our communities boast a wealth of amenities including high-achieving schools, nearby shopping and great recreational opportunities.” In addition to great pricing, Pardee-built homes are stylish, versatile, and backed by dependable after-the-sale customer service. Plus, Pardee’s master-planned communities and energy-efficient features create added value not readily found in a resale or foreclosed property. Home shoppers can visit the Pardee Homes website for specific information about sale-priced homes available at Bridle Ridge, Carriage Run and Highlands Village in Carmel Country Highlands, Hampton Lane and Manzanita Trail in Pacific Highlands Ranch and Terramar in Torrey Highlands. Pricing ranges from the mid $400,000s at Highlands Village, a resort-style townhome neighborhood with exceptional on-site recreation amenities to the mid $700,000s at Terramar where homes have four to six bedrooms and up to 3,277 square feet. To learn more about all new home opportunities from Pardee Homes, please visit www.pardeehomes.com/SanDiego or call (858) 342-8797.
Pardee’s Hampton Lane in master-planned Pacific Highlands Ranch includes three charming floor plans with side courtyards, rear-entry garages and an array of standard and optional energy-saving features. Celebrating 90 years in the homebuilding business, Pardee Homes creates new homes and communities for firsttime through luxury homebuyers. It was among the first to embrace master-planned community concepts; green homebuilding measures; environmentally sensitive development practices; and customer-focused processes for new home purchase. Pardee Homes is also widely known for its steadfast civic outreach, and for helping to bring new schools, parks and recreational amenities to its market areas. The company has earned scores of honors for customer service, green and sustainable building practices, architectural design, masterplanned communities and marketing.

Venzel Hammershaimb and Kris Gelbart, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Carmel Valley, have earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when some areas are ravaged by “distressed” homes in the foreclosure process. Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With decreased property values in some areas, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures. Please call the Carmel Valley office at 858-259-0555 for expert assistance and guidance in this area.
