Hearing scheduled on new trash pickup rates ‘Pay-as-you-throw’ system slated to start in spring BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net The City of Del Mar will implement a new “pay-as-you-throw” solid waste disposal system next spring, unless the majority of the community objects on or before a Dec. 12 public hearing. Under the proposed tier system, which has been created in part to incentivize recycling, customers will pay different rates depending on the trash container size they select. Those with a 64-gallon trash container will see no rate change, those who choose a 96-gallon will see an increase of about $2 and those who choose a 32-gallon will pay about $4 less than what

they are paying. Additional containers are $2 each, and recycling pickup will carry no additional charge. Residents currently pay a flat rate of $18.91 no matter how much they dispose of. The hearing, to be held at 240 10th St., will be conducted in accordance with Proposition 218, which requires cities to give the public a chance to provide testimony on any proposed rate change and put changes into effect only after a “noprotest finding,” according to a city staff report. Community members can also respond in writing to cityhall@delmar.ca.us.

There have been no additional burglaries reported in the Del Mar Heights and Carmel Valley area burglary series since two suspects were arrested on Nov. 18, according to Carmel Valley Northwestern Division Lt.

Stubbs returns to DM Foundation board BY KELLEY CARLSON The Del Mar Foundation’s newest board member, T. Patrick Stubbs, has long been a pillar of support for the community. Having previously served on the Foundation’s panel for two terms, from 1997 to 2003, Stubbs is again a part of this group, which devotes its time to issues affecting this village by the sea. Among Stubbs’ duties: He is chairman of the Summer Twilight Concerts Committee. “I want to make the
Marti Jo, Garrett, Cameron and T. Pat Stubbs 30th year of summer concerts as fun and eventful as possible while being respectful to the history (of the area) at the same time,” Stubbs said. “It’s an oppor-
tunity for evolution ... and taking it up a notch from a quality standpoint.” The San Diego-area na-

Two suspects were caught Nov. 18 after breaking into two Del Mar Heights-area homes and were linked to one of the earlier burglaries in the series. “We’re hesitant to say we got our guys and this series is over but as of yet, we’re keeping our fingers crossed,” Hoffman said.

Woodward Center may add veterinary hospital BY KAREN BILLING The Helen Woodward Animal Center is looking to add veterinary hospital to its long list of services to animals. While the center, which will turn 40 years old in 2012, has always had an independently-run vet hospital on site, the center has never run its own veterinary hospital. On Dec. 15, the center’s board will make a final decision on whether to run the veterinary hospital, which was upgraded last De-

Lawsuit challenges regional transportation plan BY CITY NEWS SERVICE SANDAG’s Regional Transportation Plan would increase sprawl and pollution and worsen climate change, while ignoring the need for public transit, according to a lawsuit filed Nov. 28 in San Diego. The lawsuit, filed by the Cleveland National Forest Foundation and the Center for Biological Diversity challenges the San Diego Association of Governments’ 2050 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. SANDAG, the first agency to develop a Regional Transportation Plan since enactment of the 2008 California law that requires such plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, declined to comment on the specifics of the suit. ``However, we stand by the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan, its Sustainable Communities Strategy, and their Environ-
Research Report: New class of antimalarial compounds uncovered
mental Impact Report,’’ said SANDAG Executive Director Gary Gallegos.``We are confident that they represent a balanced approach that serves the entire region, creating a multimodal transportation system that gives travelers more choices, meets our environmental goals, and responsibly invests taxpayer funds.’’ According to the plaintiffs, SANDAG used a deficient process to develop a flawed plan that would invest heavily in freeways at the expense of public transit, increase pollution and exacerbate global climate change. ``The time to move aggressively toward a more sustainable way of life is upon us,’’ said Jack Shu, president of the Cleveland National Forest Foundation. ``SANDAG’s plan promotes an unsustainable vision for San Diego County: More traffic, less transit; See PLAN, page 16
BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN An international team led by the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation and The Scripps Research Institute has discovered a family of chemical compounds that could lead to new anti- Lynne malarial drugs. Friedmann When a malaria-infected mosquito bites a person, the Plasmodium parasite enters the human body where it begins a complicated life cycle: first infecting liver cells, then entering red blood cells where it grows and multiplies eventually releasing toxins that cause illness and in severe cases death. Most antimalarial drugs are only effective during the parasite’s blood stage, and those that work in the liver have notable side effects. In the new study, researchers screened thousands of candidate compounds known to act against malaria parasites in the blood. Of these, 15 percent looked like they might also work in the liver. Researchers then identified the strongest drug-development candidates by mining the data for groups of related compounds that showed liver activity. This led to a cluster shown to be activity in both the blood and liver stages of the parasite. These compounds have the additional advantage of being chemically unrelated to current antimalarial drugs, and therefore less likely to face existing drug resistance. Findings appear in Science Express. News release at http://bit.ly/udJy7Q.

County wins ‘First 5’ Lawsuit A Fresno judge last week issued a ruling saying state leaders acted illegally when they attempted to take $1 billion from the California Children’s Trust Fund administered by First 5 County Commissions, including San Diego’s. San Diego County will keep $88.4 million. “We are delighted with the judge’s ruling in favor of the will of the voters and our children,” said Supervisor Pam-Slater Price, Chairwoman of the First 5 Commission of San Diego. “San Diego can now use this money wisely for the benefit of the region, and that is to address the local needs of the
children of our County.” The County of San Diego was one of 12 counties who joined in a lawsuit against the state, led by the First 5 Commission of Fresno, in response to its passage of AB 99 in April 2011. The case was heard in Fresno County. AB 99 authorized the raiding of the Children’s Trust Fund which comes from a tobacco tax and is administered by First 5 Commissions. Judge Debra Kazanjian ruled Nov. 21 the entire bill invalid and that transferring decision-making from local communities to the state legislature is inconsistent with See COUNTY, page 19
nosed or treated in time, KD can lead to irreversible heart damage. In surprising findings, an international team of scientists suggest that KD cases are linked to large-scale wind currents that track from Asia to Japan and also traverse the North Pacific. Because of seasonality of the disease in many regions (including San Diego), an international team including researchers from the UCSD School of Medicine, Rady Children’s Hospital, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, investigated a set of atmospheric and oceanographic measures, which revealed a link to pressure patterns and associated wind flow during the months prior to major KD epidemics in Japan in 1979, 1982, and 1986. Wind currents, which can cross the Pacific in less than one week, may explain why KD cases recorded in Japan, San Diego, and Hawaii show a nearly synchronized seasonal peak from November through March. The findings could aid efforts to isolate the cause of KD, which so far has eluded health officials. The paper appears in Scientific Reports. More information at http://bit.ly/sLwEd5. Heart defects in Down Syndrome A study involving fruit flies and mice has pinpointed two genes responsible for congenital heart defects; a major cause of infant mortality and death in people born with Down syndrome. Researchers from UCSD, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, and the University of Utah report that the genes, when produced at elevated levels, work together to disrupt cardiac development and function. Down syndrome occurs when individuals have three, instead of the usual two, copies of

Local couple helping hundreds of ‘special needs’ kids through the miracle of baseball in a field of dreams cle experience of playing baseball as part of a team in an organized league on Saturdays, bringing together hundreds of players, parents, coaches, buddies, volunteers and fans. But, for Dan Engel, it’s also been a “spiritual” journey and a contributing factor in the medical “miracle” that has saved his life. We interviewed the Engels at the Stratford Court Café in Del Mar. They had just moved into their new home in Del Mar after living many years in Carmel Valley. Engel, 50, and bald after undergoing numerous variations of chemo, more than 10 surgeries and participating in a clinical trial of an experimental drug for combating melanoma, is a cancer survivor. He was first diagnosed 12 years ago. “I had Stage 4 melanoma while we were getting the field built,” he said, “and I’ve been in remission essentially since we opened [in 2007]. So it’s been a very spiritual place for me.” “Dan, with all his health issues,’ his wife Suzie said, “had a great attitude
Suzie and Dan Engel. Photo/Jon Clark and we’re convinced that his attitude and Miracle [League] really gave him the boosts, mentally and physically, to keep him alive.” Dan credits Suzie, the
varsity tennis coach at Westview High School, with coming up with the idea of creating a Miracle League here in San Diego after they watched a story on HBO’s
Real Sports about the Miracle League organization, which was first formed in Georgia in 2000 and has since grown to 240 leagues nationwide. The Miracle League of San Diego was formed as a nonprofit in 2005 and the field was opened in May 2007, attracting 170 to 190 players annually. The concept behind Miracle League, Dan said, is: “Every child deserves a chance to play baseball. It’s as simple as that.” Dan was born in Los Angeles. Suzie was born in Worchester, Mass., and was raised in San Diego. Both of their fathers were CPAs. They met in New York City where Dan was working with investment banker Salomon Bros. and Suzie was visiting from Los Angeles where she was employed as a financial assistant at Fox Broadcasting. (Dan has a B.A. in economics from UCLA, and a joint M.B.A. in real estate and a law degree from UC Berkeley. Suzie (nee Schuman) has a B.A. in political science from the University of Pennsylvania.)
They married in 1991 after Dan was transferred by Salomon Bros. to Los Angeles, where he became senior vice president of the Goodtab Corporation (working as an investment banker specializing in real estate). He continued in the deal business with Onyx Partners and Gateway Partners until he was recruited by Applied Underwriters, Inc., of Omaha, in 2002 where he served as senior vice president of strategic planning and corporate development, helping to grow the company 500 percent over four years until it was purchased by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway in 2006. Dan subsequently opened a financial consultancy in San Diego and is currently the CFO for a private client. Since 2008, he served as chairman of the board of the California Oncology Research Institute in Santa Monica. “I found a clinical trial for a drug that finally helped bring me into remission,” he said, “and, in SEE MIRACLE, PAGE 19

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN For Dan Engel, former Wall Street investment banker, the Miracle League of San Diego, was aptly named — in more ways than one. Dan and his wife, Suzie, co-founded the nonprofit organized baseball league for handicapped kids five years ago and for the past three years Dan has served as its president. Partnering with the County Parks and Recreation Department and with the support of the San Diego Padres, the Engels converted a weed-infested field in San Dieguito Park into the first “Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible” ball field of its kind in Southern California — complete with a rubberized playing surface for the kids’ safety and their ease of running bases with a wheelchair or walker, an electronic scoreboard, a state-of-theart PA (public address) system, bleacher-seating and a snack bar that serves hot dogs. At its core, it gives boys and girls with physical or mental disabilities the mira-

Help feed the hungry at CCA’s ‘Empty Bowls’ reception Dec. 7 BY DIANE Y. WELCH In a support of an international grassroots effort to stave off starvation, some students at Canyon Crest Academy are hoping that people will come to the school hungry on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 5 p.m. That evening is the opening for CCA’s Dance Conservatory production of “The Green One,” a performance based on characters from the “Wizard of Oz.” Preempting the dance show, several CCA arts students – who have been busy crafting hand-thrown, glazed ceramic bowls – will not only share their artistry while catering to hungry show attendees, but also plan to raise funds to feed the hungry through a program of giving called Empty Bowls. Kelsey Kohler, a CCA senior, is heading up the pre-show reception. “People are invited to come and purchase some homemade soup in a hand-made bowl – with fresh bread – and hot tea in a hand-made mug for a low price of $15,” said Kelsey. “The money raised will be donated back into society to help feed the hungry, locally.” The Empty Bowls reception will take place in the school’s Raven’s Nest, a student cafe located a few steps from the Proscenium Theater where the dance performance is staged. According to Jacqueline Bergeron, the sculpture teacher at CCA who is overseeing the student effort, funds raised will benefit the San Diego Food Bank. Kelsey, founder and president of the school’s pottery club, has rallied her fellow potters to make bowls and mugs for Empty Bowls. From their first meeting in the fall, everyone was excited about this project, she said. The club has interfaced with those students responsible for the Raven’s Nest, who have begun a marketing and design campaign to make the project visible. Kelsey also started a Facebook page, EmptyBowlsCCA, to help spread the word wider than the reach of the school. “We have been cranking out bowls,” she said. “We are preparing for a lot of people.” There will be a variety of soups, as well as pasta available, said Bergeron. Bowls may be refilled with food, then when empty, rinsed out and taken home. Bowls not sold that evening will be available for purchase at the upcoming school’s Festival of the Arts, scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 10, from

3-8 p.m. Empty Bowls was originally created by The Imagine Render Group with the idea that potters, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls which are then filled with simple fare in exchange for a cash donation. The bowls become a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world, according to the organization’s website. Events have taken place across the United States and in at least a dozen other countries. Many millions of dollars have been raised and donated to hunger-fighting organizations. Statistics show that 1 out of 8 Americans struggle with food insecurity every day. Millions of people have lost their jobs during the most recent recession and the number of food stamp recipients has increased dramatically, notes the website. To find out more about Empty Bowls visit www.emptybowls.net. To purchase discounted tickets to see the performance of “The Green One,” log onto www.cca-envision.org/events.html. Full-price tickets are also available at the door on the evening of the shows, which run Dec. 7 at 7 p.m.; Dec. 8 and 9 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Canyon Crest Academy to present Festival of the Arts Envision, the Arts at CCA and the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation will present the annual Festival of the Arts (FOTA) celebration, to be held on the CCA campus on Saturday, Dec. 10, from 3-8 p.m. The entire community is invited to see the impressive talent of students enrolled in CCA’s visual, performing, and digital arts. FOTA will feature musical and theatrical performances, dance, cinema screenings, and showcase student work, which will also be available for purchase. The student-run Nest will be open for music and drinks and patrons can dine at the SuperQ. Elementary and middle school students and their families interested in art, photography, sculpture, cinema, dance, instrumental and vocal music are especially encouraged to tour the campus and meet CCA students and their Envision teachers. All are invited to check the teachers’ “Wish Lists” and take the opportunity to fund gifts through the Raven Wishes Program. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students and can be purchased at www.cca-envision.org or at the door.

Canyon Crest places first in national math contest Canyon Crest Academy recently placed first in the 2011 Team Scramble, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (www.natassessment.com). Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the first major team competition of the academic year, on which students worked furiously as the entire school raced to answer 100 problems in a variety of mathematical topics in just 30 minutes. With so many questions and so little time, competitors needed not only strong mathematical skills, but also the ability to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip. Because there was not nearly enough time for a single student to solve all of the problems, students collaborated to allocate the test questions amongst themselves and ensure that all questions were worked and double-checked.
Not resting on their laurels, Canyon Crest Academy will participate in National Assessment & Testing’s 2011 Ciphering Time Trials on Dec. 8 and the 2012 Four-byFour Competition on Feb. 2. Each of these contests features 10 rounds in which students have three minutes to answer problems, but the first requires students to work individually on three problems per round, while the second allows teams of four to tackle four problems in each round. National Assessment & Testing administers high-quality mathematics competitions that high schools can participate in through the mail. Their contests cover a variety of formats, including individual and team tests, as well as a variety of difficulties, from an easier 100 problems in 30 minutes to a more complicated 15 problems in one week.
Del Mar lawyer wins ‘Top Consumer Attorney’ award Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps LLP, a prominent California law firm with a national reputation, is proud to announce that partner Christopher Healey and the Lavender vs. Skilled Healthcare trial team were honored as the 2011 Consumer Attorneys of the Year by the Consumer Attorneys of California. The anChristopher nouncement was made Sat- Healey urday, Nov. 12, at the awards dinner during CAOC’s 50th Annual Convention in San Francisco. In 2010, Healey — together with colead counsel Michael Thamer, and W. Timothy Needham and Michael Crowley of the law firm of Janssen, Malloy, LLP– obtained a $677 million verdict against Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. and 22 nursing facilities it operates in California. The verdict was one of the largest nationwide in 2010 and the largest ever against a nursing home chain. Its
outcome is already changing practices in the nursing home industry to improve the service for the elderly. “The experts told us that minimum staffing is inextricably tied to decent care for these vulnerable residents,” Healey said. “It seemed clear to me that a class case was the only viable way to obtain compliance with the law. I only hope that the attention this verdict receives from the media and public will help further protect seniors and disabled adults in skilled nursing facilities.” “As the first class action on nursing home understaffing to be tried to a verdict, this was a landmark case that has caused nursing homes throughout California to reevaluate their staffing levels,” said Niall McCarthy, incoming president of Consumer Attorneys of California, who introduced the winners at the awards dinner. “Through the work of these members, all California nursing home residents will be safer because facility operators have been given a huge financial incentive to observe the law and have adequate staffing numbers to meet residents’ needs.” Visit www.luce.com.

Shortstop and pitcher Bobby Zarubin has signed with Stanford University, which he chose because “It has the best combination of athletics, academics and location.” Zarubin continues, “Athletically, it was very beneficial for me to compete at the varsity level all four years in baseball.” Excelling both on the field an in the classroom, Zarubin credit’s Santa Fe’s dedicated teachers and challenging academic environment for providing the confidence and motivation to succeed. He gives a “shout out” to the baseball coaching staff “for being great role models and men of God who are always there for my teammates and me and for providing the opportunity and instruction to use my athletic ability to its’ full potential.” Top-notch pitching prospect Nolan Gannon will play baseball for San Diego State University next year. Gannon says he chose the school for the weather and the op-
portunity to play for Tony Gwynn. Bringing the heat with a low 90’s fastball, the 6’5”, 190 pound Gannon has always been ahead of the curve with his physical abilities and development. Nolan, who also plays first base, looks forward to living on his own and will use the “full ride” scholarship to SDSU to play hard on the field and explore all the opportunities the school has to offer. Senior Josh Estill has committed to Purdue. Looking forward to the challenge ahead, Estill will take his skills as catcher and third baseman to the Indiana Big Ten university. A three-year starter at Santa Fe, Estill batted .351 in the last season and joins Zarubin and Gannon as part of the strong senior nucleus for the Eagles this season. All three players have the distinction of being freshman starters for the Santa Fe team, which won the CIF San Diego Section V Championship title in 2011.

Honor Flight San Diego gives veterans a special journey to the past BY MATT LIEBOWITZ The soldiers’ return to U.S. soil following the end of World War II has been romanticized in film and photos, most notably in the famous picture of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square in 1945. Dave Smith knows that a single photo, however immortalized, does not tell the real story. “People think of the kiss photographed in New York City, but most WWII veterans came home and went back to work—they didn’t really get any recognition,” said Smith, founder of the San Diego chapter of Honor Flight. Smith is out to change that, one airline flight at a time. Since he co-founded the local San Diego chapter of the national Honor Flight Network last December, Smith and a team of volunteers have made it possible for 123 veterans from San Diego to fly to the nation’s capital to visit the National WWII Memorial. (While all veterans are eligible for Honor Flight’s service, top priority is given to senior veterans — such as World War II survivors and those veterans who may be ill.)
Honor Flight San Diego Tour of Honor. Photo courtesy of Honor Flight San Diego The visit to Washington D.C., Smith said, goes far beyond merely visiting a historic site. It’s a chance for veterans to reclaim a part of their lives. “World War II vets are known for not talking about their experiences,” said Smith. He cited the cases of post-traumatic stress disorder many veterans face upon returning home from war, and said, “A lot of these guys have been carrying things. This is a way they can get together and actually talk about some of the things they haven’t been
able to talk about.” The effects are felt long after the visit is over. Following the last flight, Smith received a letter of thanks from the wife of a WWII veteran; the trip allowed her and her husband to finally share the same bed again after 50 years of sleeping in separate rooms due to his sleeping difficulties brought on by disturbing memories of the war. “The trip allowed some memories to settle,” Smith said. In a three-day, twonight visit — Honor Flight
covers 100 percent of the trip, including hotels and meals — the honored guests also tour the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Iwo Jima Memorials, and they take a guided tour of Washington D.C., including a stop at the famed Ford Theatre. For each trip, Honor Flight also obtains special
permission to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, where, Smith said, sentries do a “hidden salute” to honor the WWII vets in attendance. “They do a little wiggle of the toe as they turn,” Smith said. “They only do that when they know World War II vets are there.” Smith started Honor Flight’s San Diego chapter after accompanying his father, a WWII veteran who participated in the 1944 Battle of Guam. “Just seeing the amount of impact it had” sparked Smith to take action. That action is crucial now, especially as the number of living WWII veterans continues to dwindle. “We’re losing these guys at a rate of about 1,000 per day. It’s very important to get them back [to the WWII Veterans Memorial],” Smith said. Honor Flight San Diego plans to double its duty in its second year, sending at
least 300 veterans to the D.C. memorials. If it can raise enough money, the group will begin chartering flights to help the roughly 1,200 WWII vets living in Southern California experience what one family member of an Honor Flight guest told Smith was “the best two-and-a-half days” of their life. The next flight is scheduled for May, and already there are 300 people on the waiting list. With the fundraising effort in full swing, Smith is committed to doing everything he can to get veterans to the memorial that honors their valor, the memorial they, in effect, built. “Really don’t think I’ve ever done anything more rewarding,” said Smith, who recently spoke at a Del Mar/ Solana Beach Optimist Club dinner event. “The vets thank me, but I tell them I get more out of this than they do.” For more information, visit www.Honorflightsandiego.org.
CCA’s dance program to present ‘The GREEN One’ The GREEN One, complete with witches, flying monkeys, straw, tin fur and rubies, is a new take, created by Rayna Stohl, on the characters of Wicked and the Wizard of Oz. This amazing show will be presented by Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Dance Conservatory on Dec. 7, 8 and 9 at CCA’s Proscenium Theater. Pascal Rodriguez, who dances the character, Elphaba, takes the audience on a ride filled with twists and turns. Elphie discovers that the Wizard, who represents all that is wrong with her world, is her father. She embarks on a journey to end his reign. Along the way you see her friendships with some new friends, as well as some familiar ones like Glinda, the Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man. You experience her struggles to show human love to her son, Liir, and her ease in loving creatures such as flying monkeys. “The GREEN One examines misperception, the abuse of power, the strength of familial ties and the beauty of compassion and equality,” explained Rayna Stohl, coordinator of CCA’s Conservatory and Envision Dance Programs.

Torrey Pines Pop Warner Jr. Midget Cheerleaders win regionals and head to Florida Congratulations to the Torrey Pines Pop Warner Jr. Midget (Intermediate) Falcons! They cheered their way to another victory winning 1st place at the WESCON Regional Cheerleading Competition in Long Beach on Nov. 19. This huge win advances them to the Super Bowl of Cheer. They will join teams from all over the nation to compete in the Pop Warner National Cheerleading Competition held at Disney World in Orlando, Florida on Dec. 5-9. The competition routines are judged on a combination of cheering, tumbling, stunting (pyramids, basket tosses, etc.) motion technique, jumps and dance as well as overall appeal. The total routine time is two and a half minutes. Intermediate squads must
master complicated skills such as one-legged extended stunts, and advanced tumbling skills like back tucks and multiple back handsprings, and compete against very seasoned teams. “I couldn’t be more proud of our cheerleaders, said Head Coach Alicia Smith. “They’ve worked hard practicing since August and have earned this trip to Florida. We’ve overcome injuries and obstacles, but this amazing group of girls have the determination and desire to win. This will be a fun trip for the team and I know the girls will shine and hopefully bring home another big trophy.”

Local father and sons produce children’s fantasy book ‘Nimpentoad’ BY KAREN BILLING With their new fantasy book, one local family is ready to introduce young readers to a world of spiked and horned Rhinotaurs, goblins and a special little Nibling named Nimpentoad. The new book, “Nimpentoad,” was created by Henry Herz with his sons Josh and Harrison, and is aimed at children in kindergarten through third grade. “It’s cool to have a book that you wrote,” said Josh, a sixth grader. A book launch party will be held on Dec. 4 at Mysterious Galaxy Books (7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego, 92111) at 12:30 p.m., followed by a book reading at the Carmel Valley Library on Dec. 13, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. The Herzes will also take part in a book signing at Readers Inc. Books in La Mesa (8219 La Mesa Blvd, La Mesa) on Dec. 9 and 10 (during a holiday event that runs from 5-9 p.m.). “These guys are going to be busier than rock stars,” Henry said of their promotion schedule, which also includes readings in
their school classes and visits to local farmers markets, as well as keeping up their Nimpentoad Facebook and twitter pages. In the tale, Nimpentoad leads his tribe of Niblings through the Grunwald Forest, encountering creatures like goblins, Orcs, Rhinotaurs and Neebels. The Orcs are the meanest, Josh said, and the Niblings often get picked on because they’re the smallest and the weakest and don’t have any armor to defend themselves. The Niblings are on their way to see Goofus, a giant who’s often frustrated because of his size—his hands are too big to do things like wash his dishes
or turn the pages of his books that he loves to read. Nimpentoad and the Niblings realize that they can help Goofus out and, in turn, the giant may be able to help them. Josh said the book sends a message about the power of teamwork. “It’s also about finding ways to get out of challenges with quick thinking and also has a message of ‘Don’t be a bully’,” Henry said. The Herz brothers’ creativity started young. “When we were little, my brother and I came up with random words and Nimpentoad was one of them,” Josh said, who attributes the invention of Nimpentoad to little brother Harrison, a fourth grader. Both boys love to read and are big fans of “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” and anything in the “fantasy ecosystem.” The boys also have a history in entrepreneurship — they have several web-based businesses that include creating LEGO party favors, painted concrete yard sculptures, and custom cast bases for the online game
Local dad Henry Herz wrote ‘Nimpentoad’ with his sons Josh, left, and Harrison. “Warhammer.” “This is yet another fun project to work with them on, helping them develop good life skills, promoting the book, reading, writing and entrepreneurship,” said Henry, a longtime aficionado of the fantasy genre, who works as a management consultant and also teaches afterschool enrichment for elementary school children. “Having the kids involved makes it special.” While both loved working on the book project,
Josh said when he grows up his ideal job would be an architect. Harrison, who plays basketball for the Carmel Valley Stingrays, would like to be a professional basketball player. “If that doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll be a standup comedian.” Harrison said. Henry drafted the story with frequent feedback from his young co-writers. “It was just fun making silly words,” Josh said. The Herzes hired an illustrator to bring Grunwald
Forest and all its creatures to life and they love the results. Harrison said they didn’t want the drawings to be too scary but not to “kiddy” either. On the book cover, Nimpentoad stands on a knotted wood stump, his amber eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief with a fuzzy body, round belly and big troll-like fingers and toes. “The cover draws you in, it’s so detailed it makes you want to climb into the picture and go exploring,” Henry said. Henry used Createspace to publish the book and the trio was thrilled to hold the book in hand and to share the story of Nimpentoad with young readers. The Herzes are all ready to go onto book number two if the first one is popular. “Nimpentoad” is available online at www.nimpentoad.com for $12.95, as well as at Mysterious Books and Warwick’s Books in La Jolla.

Holiday ornaments and nostalgic gifts from Del Mar now available online For the first time ever, Del Mar has designed a holiday ornament for 2011 featuring the historic Stratford Square, circa 1927. The limited edition ornament, priced at $20, will be part of an ongoing collection depicting iconic historical buildings in Del Mar. The ornaments, in addition to a variety of other Del Mar memorabilia depicting iconic Del Mar history, are available online through the Del Mar Village Association website at http:// www.delmarmainstreet.com/books-photos. php. In 1927, Stratford Square which included a grocery store, beauty parlor, doctor’s office and a drugstore complete with an old-fashioned soda fountain, was a place where locals and visiting celebrities gathered. Designated a historical site by the city of Del Mar in 1978, Stratford Square was originally known as the Kockritz Building, named after Herman W. Kockritz, a friend of William
Kerckhoff, one of the founders of Del Mar. After several ownership changes, Jim Watkins bought the building in 1966 and restored the building to its original English Tudor style. “Keeping history alive in Del Mar is very important to the residents of this community,” said Jen Grove, executive director of the Del Mar Village Association. “Not only does the purchase of these gifts provide wonderful keepsakes but a portion of the proceeds help fund projects designed to preserve Del Mar history.” In addition to the holiday ornament, other iconic Del Mar gifts available for purchase include: “Discovering Del Mar’s Past”, a historical walking and driving tour book, $9.95; an eco-friendly Del Mar Village tote with a photo of surfers at Del Mar Beach, $25; and assorted prints of vintage Del Mar photos priced from $25 and up.

Guest column: An unforgettable day of inspiration at Canyon Crest Academy BY MAIA FERDMAN AND BRIAN DOYLE On Nov. 20, hundreds of high school students from all over San Diego County gathered together at Canyon Crest Academy with the simple intent to be inspired. Many had never heard of TED, let alone TEDxYouth@SanDiego. As the day unfolded, however, the students met speakers who told stories of hardship, success, and altruism. They enjoyed live performances by dancers, robots, and singers. They interacted with yoga, 3D chalk painting, technology, animal demonstrations, and each other. They began to realize that this “conference” was out of the ordinary, and nothing short of life changing. At first merely a vision of a few Canyon Crest Academy teachers and students, TEDxYouth@SanDiego embodied the idea that kids can accomplish big things. With the theme of “The World in Our Grasp,” the conference illustrated the diversity of not only the world, but also the ways in which to change it. The TEDx team ensured that from the moment the attendees received their invitations, they were part of the experience. Ever since the planning began in January, the arrival of the attendees was a highly anticipated event. Arriving on buses, attendees were greeted by “TED Friends” with red balloons. They followed the lively Canyon Crest Samba Corvo into the Proscenium Theater, and the day began. Each speaker brought a unique story and a provocative message to the stage. They included poet and CCA graduate Elliott Wobler, who began TEDx with a spoken word poem that told students to “rise up
from age old slumber.” Adora Svitak, who published her own book at age 7 and spoke at TEDGlobal at age 12, pointed out that the words “naïve,” “impulsive,” and “inexperienced,” which adults so often use to describe children, are actually praise. These qualities (Above, right, on chalk art) Eliott Wobler, Tracy Lee make kids dar- Stum, Patrick Ivison, Lee Coulter, Tim Stiven; (Above ing. They left) TEDster CCA Youth Team.

achieving what seems impossible. Co-founder of Invisible Children Jason Russell spoke about how “most of us are born to be anonymous extraordinaires.” He emphasized the importance of those behind the scenes that are “making the right choices.” Russell conveyed that everyone has the capability of changing the world without being famous. In fact, anonymous extraordinaires are those who create the most change of all. As the day progressed, the room seemed to be bursting with energy. It reached a definite peak when ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro took the stage. The empowered audience clapped and danced with Shimabukuro as he played his unbelievable music and spoke about the power of music as the universal language. His passion flooded the stage and his happiness radiated throughout his performance. What the audience may not have noticed was how the event inspired the speakers themselves.

Local resident’s new book focuses on teaching children to safely interact with dogs BY JOE TASH Kimberly O’Hara’s Yorkie terrier, “Bugs Boodle,” has always proved to be a magnet for children when she takes him for a walk. What bothers O’Hara is that “so many children don’t ask if they can pet the dog. They don’t know how to interact with dogs.” The encounters with neighborhood children prompted O’Hara to do some online research into dog bites. “I noticed an issue and when I looked up the statistics, I was really shocked,” she said. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease control, 4.5 million Author Kimberly O’Hara Americans are bitten by dogs Photo/Jon Clark each year, and more than 800,000 dog-bite victims require medical treatment. Children aged 5 to 9 are particularly at risk. O’Hara, an account manager for Hewlett-Packard, decided she wanted to help reduce the number of injuries caused by dog bites. The result is a children’s book published in November, “Bugs Boodle’s Book of Basics: Teaching Children to Interact with Dogs.” O’Hara published the book through Telemachus Press, and worked with a San Diego artist Jorge Pacheco, who provided the illustrations. The book is currently on Amazon. com as either a hard-cover or an e-book, and on the Barnes and Noble website. It will also be available on I-Tunes soon. A website, www.bugsboodle.com, should be running by the end of December, O’Hara said. Bugs Boodle is O’Hara’s first book, and she actually wrote it seven years ago. The time constraints of her full-
time job kept her from bringing the book to print, however, until this January, when she resolved to complete the project. O’Hara said she is constantly amazed by the number of dog-bite stories she hears when she talks to people about her book. “I’m hoping it does very well. There’s a huge market for it… and a serious need for it,” she said. O’Hara said the reinforcement of a children’s book that lays out simple, common-sense rules for interacting with dogs, in a rhyming format, may have more impact on children than admonitions from adults. The book begins, “There are some things you need to know, this book has rules that we can show. So ask your parents if it’s okay, if you see a dog and you want to play.” “Dogs’ parents want to keep pets safe. So make sure you ask first… and wait. And when you come to pet their pup, they want to know, you won’t pet rough.” Along with asking permission before petting a strange dog, O’Hara said, kids should be taught not to disturb a dog that is sleeping or eating. O’Hara learned her lesson the hard way — as a child, she was bitten by a neighborhood dog. Locally, the San Diego County Department of Animal Services investigates more than 6,000 reported cases of dog bites and attacks each year, according to the agency’s website. Erin Short, a supervisor with the education department at the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe, said the center teaches children the ABC’s of meeting a new dog — “A” is for ask the owner and adult with you, “B” is for “be sniffed,” or allow the dog to smell you and “C” is for carefully pet the dog on its back, the safest spot for contact. “There are definite boundaries all children should learn, but there’s a fine line of not causing fear,” said Short. When parents exhibit fear of dogs, she said, children often pick up on it. “There are people who will run into traffic to avoid a dog so it affects their whole life,” Short said. Still, children
need to learn when it is, and when it is not, okay to pet a dog. “Not every dog you meet is going to be like Fido at home. You can’t run up and hug every dog,” she said. The Helen Woodward center offers a program called Dog Smart that both helps adults and children overcome their fear of dogs, and teaches techniques for safe and proper interaction between dogs and humans. The program, which uses specially trained dogs, is so popular that it usually has a waiting list, Short said. The information in O’Hara’s book should prove helpful to local families, Short said. O’Hara, who owns three dogs, grew up in Ohio and has lived in Southern California since 1984. She is trained as an electrical engineer, and lives with her husband, T.J. (Terry) O’Hara, an author and political satirist. She said she has other ideas for future Bugs Boodle children’s books, but is keeping them under wraps for now.

Local couple shares husband’s breast cancer story BY JUDEE SEDLER This past January, my husband, Carl, found a lump in his right breast and immediately went to his doctor, Leila Rhodes, M.D. on La Jolla Blvd. She swiftly set up tests for him and in February he had a mastectomy of the right breast. Carl turned 85 years old on Oct. 12, and you’d never expect men to get this disease, plus a man at age, 84 at the time! Now, Carl is cancer free and didn’t require any radiation or chemo; he’s just on hormones for the next five years. Carl has had wonderful care by his surgeon, Dr. Cheryl Olson and his oncologist at Scripps, Dr. Sabina Wallach. Since there is such a low percentage of men affected by this disease, I thought the Del Mar Times/Solana Beach Sun readers might want to hear about this. I felt the need to bring more attention to breast cancer, particularly when it hits home! Carl answers questions about his experience below: Question: When were you diagnosed? Answer: The middle of January 2011, I felt a lump in my right breast and mentioned to my wife, Judee. She urged me to see my primary doctor, which I did on Jan. 26. Dr. Rhodes sent me to Scripps for more tests and on Feb. 8 we received the diagnosis that it was cancer. What a shock to us — me with breast cancer? I’m 84 years old, and have breast cancer? When my wife originally called Scripps for the biopsy, they thought she was calling by mistake because the
appointment was for a man, and she was transferred to another department for the test. She was persistent and Carl and Judee said it was for Sedler on his 85th me and I might have birthday Oct. 12 breast cancer, so they set the appointment for the biopsy. The diagnosis was stage 2, receptor positive cancer, (3.7 cm mass removed.) I’ve since turned 85 on Oct. 12. Q: What type of treatment did you receive? I received a mastectomy on Feb. 15, 2011 on my right breast, and two lymph nodes were removed to see if the cancer had spread, and it hadn’t! I continue to see both the surgeon and oncologist and they say I’m doing great. I did not require any chemo or radiation, but I’m taking estrogen therapy for five years. I have also had a mammogram for the left breast to be sure that cancer hasn’t affected the left breast. I have on-going visits with my surgeon and oncologist to check my progress. Q: Was there any one person/ thing/routine that served as your rock during this time? If so, please describe. A: Yes, my wife, Judee. She was there with me and for me every step of the way. She was adamant that I needed to see the primary doctor pronto to see what’s going on, then scheduling

my appointments, going with me, being there for my surgery, taking notes on follow-up appointments for us, and being my “nurse” at home. She made sure I followed the routine set for me by my doctors to help with my recovery. I would call her “Nurse Ratched,” but I appreciated her help! We’ve been married almost 37 years and I know that she was there for me. I was back on the golf course by March 18 chipping and putting, and then soon back to my old routine of four days a week at the club. Q: How did this diagnosis impact your finances? Did you have any insurance struggles? I have good medical insurance through Blue Cross as well as Medicare. No, the insurance was wonderful and no impact on us at all. Q: Did this diagnosis impact your work? If so, how? Since I’ve been retired since 1985, the only affect was not being able to golf for that month. I was back chipping and putting and I’m now on the course full time. Q: Is there anything about this experience you want people to know, that they may not know or is not commonly known? Since breast cancer in men is at a low percentage, and not highly publicized like it is for women, my advice to men is to listen to your body, and intuition, and if you feel something strange, like the lump I found, get it checked out! Awareness of breast cancer for men needs more publicity. Everything you read is about women.

The plan would instead encourage more driving, leading to more air pollution, according to the lawsuit. SANDAG approved its $200 billion transportation plan last month. The agency is required to update its vision for regional transportation developments every four years.

The plan will modernize the way the city deals with solid waste, Mosier said, and it will also make recycling easier. Each customer will get a 64-gallon bin for recyclables, which is much bigger than the crates that are currently used, and they won’t have to sort recyclables because Waste Management will provide that part of the service. “The whole process will be much easier, faster and safer,” he said, adding that Waste Management will implement a semi-automatic system that will allow the truck to do some of the work in emptying trash containers into it, taking a load off of the waste hauler. Under Assembly Bill 939, Waste Management will also provide the city with $50,000 to use for recycling education and community outreach. Mosier said that money will cover mainly staff time and some materials needed to meet with property owners and encourage commercial recycling. That outreach will include solving some practical issues, such as facilitating the sharing of bins between
will be a community event to welcome Scott to Del Mar on Jan. 17 at the Powerhouse Community Center. Watch for more details, and come to meet our new City Manager. I am pleased that we were able to complete this unanticipated action on time and budget. Scott brings a wealth of experience gained in the revitalization of Coronado that will be valuable as we proceed with our own plans for downtown Del Mar. Work on three major projects is proceeding smoothly, and the 21st Street pump station and the 17th Street Beach Safety Center should be completed next year. The Torrey Pines Bridge upgrade is on schedule and will be completed in 2013. These are important projects for Del Mar, and it is gratifying to see all the hard work in planning and fund raising
businesses which may not have room for two dumpsters. Longtime Del Mar resident John Haraden takes issue with the new rate schedule for several reasons, one being that it doesn’t allow for flexibility in how much one throws away. For example, a household would have to spend more to have several trash containers to allow for them to have the occasional party in which they produce more waste. Likewise, he pointed out, there are many who are out of town often and produce no waste during that time, but they may need more than the smallest can size while they are in town. “Sometimes people put out only one barrel, but sometimes people put out five or six,” said Haraden. “Soon they won’t have the same flexibility.” He said he is caring for his 102-year-old aunt, and that the fee change will be unfortunate for people like him who must dispose of incontinence aids or mothers who dispose of diapers. With that responsibility, he said, also comes the lack of time and energy to recycle. “I don’t want to spend a lot of time sorting through cans and garbage. I find it particularly unpleasant,” he said, adding that he will have to pay $6 more a month (that includes the cost of additional trash cans he needs) to be able to throw away as much as he currently does. “I don’t want to be forced into recycling. I don’t like the idea of government forcing people to do things. Plus, I am not sufficiently domestic enough to know what’s recyclable and what’s not.”
coming to fruition. The addition of five new Fairgrounds board members in June (and the departure of four former members) has changed our relationship with the Fairgrounds in a very positive way. The Fair Board has voted to approve a budget for mitigating impacts of the two extra fair days next year, and the mitigation is to be completed before the next fair opens. A project to restore wetlands east of Jimmy Durante Boulevard has been approved, a long delayed action that is finally moving forward. Most importantly from my perspective, we are now able to have productive discussions with the Fair Board and management, a significant improvement from the recent past. Work on the Specific Plan for our central commercial zone is pro-
ceeding on schedule, and resident feedback from the workshops and online survey is guiding the process. The Council will be coming back to the public with frequent updates and more outreach in the spring and again next fall, prior to a public vote on the plan in November 2012. There is much to accomplish and much to be gained with this critical update of the City’s development guidelines. The Community Plan adopted in 1976 will finally become reality. Projects to anticipate are plans for a new City Hall and the Shores Park Master Plan. Finally, my thanks to both Karen Brust and Mark Ochenduszko and their staff for making my job easier, and to the community for their support. Happy Holidays to all!
WOODWARD continued from page 1 quality vets and eventually become an after-hours emergency clinic for the community. The previous veterinary hospital, Rancho Santa Fe Veterinary Hospital, needed to move to a smaller space, paving the way for this unique business model. And while it’s a unique business model, it’s not necessarily a new concept. “The original vision that Helen Woodward and her friends had for the center was for a small animal hospital that would support the community, just as the equine hospital did,” said Dr. Patricia Carter, chief of staff. If the board gives its final approval, Carter and Eileen Beattie, director of administration, will be charged with bringing that vision to life, getting the veterinary hospital up and running to its best potential. “The goal is for it to serve the community and basically become a profit center for the rest of the areas of the Helen Woodward facility that are non-profit,” Carter said. “It’s really going to be like a onestop shop,” said Beattie. “It’s a winwin, giving back to the veterinary community we support and giving monetary resources to help the rest of the center’s programs and help find orphan animals new homes.” Carter and Beattie led a tour through the spacious and vacant hospital on Nov. 23. Off Helen Woodward Way in Rancho Santa Fe, the hospital is attached to the new administration building that opened in April. The upgraded hospital is much larger than the old facility: 10,000 square feet versus the old 6,000 square feet. It now has nine exam rooms. The large back area has separate treatment areas and surgery prep areas, whereas most hospitals have both in the same room. There are also two additional surgery rooms with observation windows for teaching, a designated dental area, two isolation areas to keep infectious cases like parvo (canine parvovirus) contained, a cat ward, and an avian and exotics ward.
The upgraded hospital at the Helen Woodward Animal Center is much larger than the old facility: 10,000 square feet versus the old 6,000 square feet. It now has nine exam rooms. There’s even a room for natural healing treatments such as hydrotherapy, reiki and massage for animals recovering from surgery. A small back room serves as a comfort/grief area for people who have lost a pet—“It can be hard to lose a pet,” Carter said, noting that those people have the option of leaving through a separate back door, without having to walk through the front of the facility. Carter said they are looking for about 10 veterinarians who are looking to practice high quality medicine without the headaches of owning their own office. An open house was held on Nov. 16 for prospective vets. “We want to make sure their standards of medicine are the same as the reputation of the center,” Carter said. “We’re look for good quality vets who want to practice medicine in a beautiful setting. This is a great hospital.” For more information, visit www. animalcenter.org.

MIRACLE continued from page 4 March [of this year], it was the first drug approved for melanoma in 15 years and the only one proven to extend life.” While raising their two children, Suzie got more involved in sports, initially as an assistant athletics manager at the Manhattan Country Club in Manhattan Beach, as assistant tennis coach at Torrey Pines High School, and, since 2008, as varsity tennis coach at Westview High School in Rancho Peñasquitos. She served as president of the Miracle League of San Diego for two years. For Suzie, a moving moment she recalls was when, after the opening week of the first season, several parents came up them and said their kids were so excited they had worn their baseball hats and shirts to bed for a week in anticipation of next game on Saturday. “That was it for me,” she said. For Dan, one of the most moving moments was a day at the Engel Family Field, a Little Padres Park, during the second season, when 4-year-old Kyle Wyeborney, who, because of a medical condition, was unable to walk without a walker, told his parents he wanted to walk on his own because of baseball. “On the very last day of the season,” Dan said, “Kyle got up to bat and it looked like he was struggling with his walker, but what really happened was his buddy removed the walker and Kyle started to walk. “I knew what was coming because his mom told me he was going to try it. He was struggling. It was hard. But he made his way down to first, made his way to second, and made his way to third. “At this point, everybody is on their feet, with tears in their eyes; then Kyle comes toward home to the biggest standing ovation you’ve ever seen….and I don’t know whether he tried to slide or just fell from exhaustion, but he landed face-first on home plate. There was not a dry eye anywhere. “It was just an incredible thing to witness.” Kyle is now 9 and still playing and walking. “He likes to play short-stop, and he says he wants to play in the Major Leagues,” Dan
December 1, 2011 said. “We’ve now made a commitment to open a second field in South Bay, some time within a year and a half, if possible,” Dan revealed. “There is a huge need in San Diego. There are more than 35,000 with special needs in the county.” Dan looks at it this way: “Things don’t come easy. If you work hard and persevere and you treat people with respect, good things happen in return.” For more information, visit the Miracle League of San Diego Website: www.miracleleagueofsandiego.org The 2012 spring eight-week season will begin in March.

INSPIRATION continued from page 14 versed, all profoundly happy to be present and make their statements. This atmosphere did not merely happen by chance, either. It was a product of countless preliminary meetings, email correspondences, visions, and ideas that turned into realities. The final product was a level of professionalism and organization worthy of any adult conference. Passion was the driving force, the fuel behind these months of hard work. Every single member of the TEDx team, whether a student, a teacher, a parent, or a volunteer, was passionate about what they were doing. This passion then was transferred unto the day’s events, the attendees, and the speakers themselves. High school students contributed an enormous portion of the efforts that made this day a reality. The tech team, the MC’s, the artists who decorated the lobby, the ushers and the visionaries, were primarily in high school, and their capabilities surpassed those of many adults. TEDxYouth@SanDiego began as a vision of teacher Christopher Black, Jeannie Chufo and a few students. Black quoted Christopher Reeve the night before the event: “so many of our dreams at first seem impos-
sible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.” However, the inevitable would not have happened without the dedication and hours of commitment on the parts of fellow teachers Robin Duncan, Kellie Dunkirk, Laura Krogh and Tim Stiven. Nor would it have happened without the generous support of sponsors such as Sharp Health Care, Qualcomm, Leichtag Foundation and Jimbo’s Naturally. After the months of planning and excitement, the experience of TEDxYouth@SanDiego definitely achieved its purpose. The day was filled with listening, but the final message that the attendees received was to “do.” To act on inspiration or change the world does not have to be a monumental feat. Changing the world
does not have to involve creating a business or doing something enormous. It could be making people happy, living life to the fullest, or even just following a dream. During the breaks, students wrote their goals on an “In My Life Wall,” and many shared them with their peers at the end of the day. These goals ranged from raising money to help cure diabetes, to opening a school for orphan children in Africa, to being the next president, or to just doing something cool enough to give a TED talk. The message of TEDxYouth@SanDiego resonated with these high school students, and hopefully will continue to inspire and reach countless kids online. This event is meant to be a catalyst for everyone who watches it. To use it to act on something, change something, improve something, create something, stop something—to do anything. The motivating and empowering message of TEDxYouth@SanDiego will not merely stay in the memories of those who experienced it, but will be the starting point for many to live life fully and change the world as they go.

Carmel Valley Dons dominate Murrieta The Carmel Valley Dons 6th grade Pee Wee team continued their winning ways with a dominating 40 -0 win over Murrieta. In a recent game against Murrieta, the Dons once again demonstrated a stellar defense, shutting Murrieta out, while putting 40 points on the scoreboard. Demitri Washington, Ethan Deller, Tony Perez, Cade Remy, Connor Simpson and Griffith Hughes were among the leaders on offense behind a dominating offensive line. On defense a number of players contributed to the shut out, including Washington, Deller and Perez going both ways, as well as Jason Charnholm, Christopher Tanaka, Jack Rosoff, Kevin Gottlieb, George Hagestad and Ben McCoy. The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football League was formed in 2010 to create a highly competitive Division 1 Youth Football Program in the Carmel Valley area to prepare top athletes for high school football. The League’s home stadium is Cathedral Catholic High School (CCHS) and players proudly wear the colors of CCHS. Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High football players, much of the team’s success can be attributed to the support of Cathedral’s Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle and Athletic Director David Smola.

RSF Attack Boys U-18 Green Nomads Tournament Champions Congratulations to Coach Malcolm Tovey and his Boys U-18 Green team for winning the Nomads Annual Thanksgiving Tournament. There were 32 teams in the U-18 Division, and the boys earned their ways to the finals by winning their bracket, which included the Blackhawks from Scottsdale, Ariz., the Antelope Valley Futbol Club, and the Utah Soccer Alliance. After both quarterfinal and semifinal wins, they advanced to the championship game, facing tough competition in the Chula Vista Aztecs Premier team. It was a hardfought, exciting game which ended in a 2-2 tie in regulation play. However, the RSF Attack team claimed victory by scoring a goal with only eight minutes remaining in double overtime, posting a final score of 3-2. Coach Malcolm Tovey and his U-18 Boys are to be congratulated for an incredible display of teamwork, skilled play, and outstanding sportsmanship. What a great way to end the Presidio League season!

Seewald sees the world one photo at a time Master photographer’s new exhibit opens in Del Mar Dec. 10 BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net
La Jolla Cultural Partners
Climbing tall trees, sinking in mud or hanging off of bridges to get the right shot aren’t unusual experiences for Michael Seewald. On a recent trip to Vietnam, the photographer even dodged speeding cars to set up his tripod on a congested five-lane city street to capture the experience. Seewald, owner of Del Mar’s Michael Seewald Gallery in the Del Mar Plaza, will recount his journey through Vietnam — trip No. 57 and counting — on Dec. 10 by unveiling for the first time the images he took there. And although capturing that high-speed streetscape was somewhat of a suicide mission, he’s not even sure if he’ll choose that image for the exhibition. “For the first few months I can’t even look at my art because I remember too clearly the smells and the whole situation,” said 59-year-old Seewald, who has been a photographer since he was a teenager. “Just because I almost died falling off a tree to get a photo doesn’t make it a good photo. What I had to
go through is unimportant. The story behind it isn’t going to keep your eye in the photo.” Seewald’s 10-day trip to Vietnam directly followed a May exhibition in China, where he was invited to display his work at the renowned Yuan Xiaocen Art Museum in Kunming, China. He said the exhibit was possibly the first fine art photography exhibit the museum had hosted, and that photography is a relatively new form of art in the country as a whole. “It was a big thing to show photography in a museum,” he said, adding that viewers “really appreciated it.” “A lot of the top communist leaders were so excited they were calling up their friends all over China to come to the show,” Seewald said, “They were quite stunned and they treated me like a million dollars.” Seewald’s China trip happened to be sponsored by Audi — the car company completely covered his airfare, photo framing and housing. But sponsorship is not a new concept for Seewald. He
said he’s the only photographer in the world to have his own sponsorship program, in which his collectors buy photographs in advance at a discount rate to help pay for his global trips. He said he started with 25 sponsors who helped him travel to Iceland, and now his list of sponsors totals more than 300. The programs are unique in that sponsors put their confidence in Seewald and buy photographs before they are ever taken. “Some people come in and they love all my work and said they wouldn’t know which one to pick,” he said. “It actually makes it hard for me to sell when they can’t narrow it down, so that’s when I tell them about the sponsorship program.” One major sponsor of his Vietnam trip, wellknown molecular geneticist Charles Cantor, has bought upward of eight pieces at a time and had a big influence on the country Seewald chose to visit. “He said he loves Vietnam, and there are not a lot of places he hasn’t been,” Seewald said of Cantor,
who’s head of La Jolla-based biotech company Sequenom. “If he says there’s a place he loves, I listen.” Seewald also said he was nervous when Cantor filled his home with photographs, as many people quit collecting at that point. “He said ‘Don’t worry, Seewald. I have plenty of halls at my corporation,’” Seewald said. Out of respect to his loyal stakeholders, Seewald said he doesn’t show his work to anyone — not even his mom — before it is revealed at an opening. He said he can, however, reveal one thing about his upcoming Vietnam exhibition — the show will contain “future award winners,” he said. Seewald’s photographs are diverse and span the world, however, each has a distinct style that is markedly his own — “well thought out compositional masterpieces,” he said, adding that he puts much time into each photo, seeking out the perfect locations and taking only one or two photos a day. “I’ve learned to control people’s eyes,” he said.

Teens tutor refugee children from Burma BY DILLON LERACH, GUEST COLUMNIST
Teen Volunteers In Action (TVIA) is a service group of approximately 200 boys in grades 7 through 12. We participate in hands-on charitable events working with philanthropies that serve seniors, children, the homeless and hungry, the environment, special needs and other community organizations. I have gotten to know many worthy organizations up close and have been particularly moved by a refugee group we help in City Heights, the Karen refugees. As a member of TVIA’s Leadership Council, I coordinate tutoring every Tuesday and Thursday after school at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on Fairmont Avenue for a group of 70 Karen children who are sponsored by the United Nations and are new to this country. I also help plan activities to integrate them into life in the United States. The Karen is an ethnic minority group of three million from Burma who have been savagely attacked, along with eight other minority groups, by Burma’s brutal military dictatorship when they took power and changed the country’s name to Myanmar. More than 140,000 refugees, the largest refugee population in Southeast Asia, fled to Thailand and have lived in closed, crowded refugee camps for more than 20 years. Since 2007, the U.N. has sponsored Karen refugees from these camps to emigrate on humanitarian grounds to San Diego, Bakersfield, Buffalo and New York, as well as other cities in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Western Europe. The camps, where the children we tutor were born, have no electricity and are located in the jungle. This is obviously completely different from our urban and suburban
environment. Imagine yourself taking a plane for the first time, having to learn to use electricity and to cook with modern appliances. Imagine never having seen a car or a paved road. Imagine not speaking English and having to spend all day in a classroom in middle or high school. For the last three years, TVIA has welcomed the Karen teens and pre-teens. We took them to their first movie, the zoo, bowling, and organize an annual picnic in the park where we play soccer together. This year we will host our annual picnic on May 5. We will also help celebrate the Karen New Year in early January where we will watch our students perform their native dances and sample Karen food and delicacies. The heart of our program, however, is tutoring. These students need our help learning English and navigating their way through daily homework, because many parents are not available and resources at schools are limited. We provide tutoring every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday’s group has the younger students from grades two through six, and Thursday’s group has students from grades 7 through 12. Tutoring is open to students from any school. Volunteer teachers are available to help us tutor in reading and math and provide all the necessary materials. If you can read a storybook to a young child or help with reading or math at any level, you can tutor. A friend from Canyon Crest Academy has committed to weekly tutoring and is starting a tutoring program at her school. I encourage you to join us or to start a group at your school. It is extremely rewarding. Please contact me at dlerach@gmail. com if you are interested or if you have any

Author shares tall tales from her book on big waves BY PAT SHERMAN Bestselling author Susan Casey enthralled a sold-out crowd at the Birch Aquarium on Nov. 17, recounting years of harrowing research that went into her new book, “The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean.” Casey, who has written for Esquire and Sports Illustrated, and is current editorin-chief of O, The Oprah Magazine, followed American big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton and others to some of the planet’s most treacherous surfing destinations, from the deceivingly deadly Teahupo’o, off the coast of Tahiti, to Ghost Trees, at Pebble Beach. “What is more beautiful and more terrifying than the most extreme parts of the ocean?” said Casey, who also authored 2005’s “The Devil’s Teeth,” in which she explores the habits of great white sharks. “We seem to think that we control nature, and I think this is kind of nature setting us straight.” Out of all the waves she studied at close range, Casey said her favorite is “Jaws,” a deep-water reef break off the coast of Maui, where waves are said to reach heights of 120 feet. “To me what’s extremely interesting are the people who are willing to take that kind of risk out of sheer obsession and passion,” Casey said. “I found that all the waves kind of have personalities and were as much characters as the people that I was writing about.” Before writing her book, Casey pored through 400 years worth of shipping logs at British insurer Lloyd’s of London to gain insight into the mystery of the world’s disappearing tankers. “These very large ships

were being taken out at an astonishing clip by what they perceived to be really extreme and abnormal rogue waves,” she said. “They were getting taken out so fast that they weren’t even sending mayday calls.” However, not all the disappearances could be attributed to waves, Casey discovered. “My favorite story was a Greek ship that went down because it was carrying 2,000 sheep. The sheep got restless and all went to one side of the ship and capsized it.” Casey’s research actually began in La Jolla, where she first interviewed Scripps’ professor of Oceanography, Dr. Ken Melville. “It is really fitting for me to be at Scripps, because this is where I basically started this book in 2006,” she said. (Scripps Institution of Oceanography operates the Coastal Data and Information Program, an advanced system that monitors wave activity around the country.) Though Casey found unanimity rare among the scientists she interviewed, one constant she found was their heightened concern for
climate change and its effect on the ocean. “The most surprising thing I learned was how much climate change is affecting waves, and the likelihood that we’re heading for a stormier future,” Casey said. “We see the oceans rising; we see that there’s more energy in the system, more restless water. “I don’t hope that people read my book and come away scared of the ocean,” she said, “but I do feel as though we have to live in a way that we become more creative, more harmonious and more humble with the ocean.” Birch Aquarium member Sue Heleniak, who read the book in advance, said she felt Casey made a strong connection with the big-wave surfers profiled in her book. “She was very honest in her portrayal of these guys,” Heleniak said. “When they had a bad day, they had a bad day, just like any other human being.” For information about upcoming book readings and lectures at Birch Aquarium, visit aquarium.ucsd.edu or call (858) 534-3474.

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus to perform some ‘Ancient Noises’ In the second concert of its Stravinsky Circus season, La Jolla Symphony & Chorus will celebrate, “Ancient Noises,” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3 and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4 at the Mandeville Auditorium on UCSD campus. Music Director Steven Schick and Choral Director David Chase will lead the performing artists in Igor Stavinsky’s “Les Noces,” Gyorgi Ligeti’s “Poeme Symphonique,” Bela Bartok’s “Cantata Profana,” and the local premiere of David Lang’s “Grind to a Halt.” Joining LJS&C will be guest artists Lux Boreal dancers, red fish blue fish, Jessica Aszodi, Martha Jean Weaver, Chad Frisque and Phil Larson. In a press release advancing the show, LYS&C writes, “We will present two brilliant folk-tales from the early 20th century — Stravinky’s portrait of a folk wedding in pagan Russia (with four pianists, chamber choirs, and Lux Boreal dancers choreographed by UCSD’s Allyson Green) and Bartok’s magical story of nine young hunters transformed into wild stags and scored for orchestra and chorus.” Liget’s daring work features 100 metronomes, each at a different tempo, and Lang’s premiere has been described as “rambunctious.” A pre-concert lecture will be held one hour prior to each performance.
As part of the program, the Lux Boreal dancers will perform a work choreographed by UCSD’s Allyson Green. PHOTO: ELAZAR C. HAREL, 2005 Tickets are $15-$29 at (858) 534-4737 and lajollasymphony.com — From Symphony Reports

Food crisis impacts San Diego holiday distributions; Donations needed Community Resource Center (CRC) has begun set up of the 29th Annual Holiday Baskets program at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and faces record demand amid critical lows in food supplies. “We collected and distributed 46 tons of food last year for Holiday Baskets and the need is already 10 percent over last year and growing,” says CRC Executive Director Laurin Pause. Holiday Baskets is the largest distribution of its kind in the county, and closed its registration after a record 1,550 households, equating to an estimated 7,000 individuals, enrolled. Sadly, an additional 650 families who asked for assistance will not be helped. “We are already beyond capacity, and the number of inquiries that continue to come in since we have closed registration is staggering,” reports Pause. “CRC is already looking into all additional food resources to help those families through what we know will be a tough winter. “This year, CRC stockpiles for the holidays are at an alltime and critical low. We’ve had so many families, children, and seniors coming to us for help throughout the year that we haven’t been able to set aside food for the holidays.” Like many food distribution centers nationwide this year, CRC has had the added challenge of unprecedented delays and decreases in federal food allotments. “Our decrease was nearly 22 percent, and we only recently received our first and only FEMA allotment,” says Pause. CRC also runs a year-round self-sufficiency program that includes weekly food assistance to over 300 households in need in the North County region, and has been struggling to keep up with a growing population of those who literally face choosing between food and rent. More than 1,600 local volunteers and 200 groups and organizations are collecting and sorting donated food, blankets, outerwear, toys, bicycles, baby items, and much more for CRC’s annual Holiday Baskets program. The greatest focus is on food this year because of the shortfalls, and CRC is appealing to the public for help. Visit the CRC Website at www.crcncc.org or contact Suzie Colby at scolby@crcncc.org or 760-230-6305 for more information.

San Diego artist David Graham Webb passed away on Sept. 11, 2011. He was 56. Relatively unknown until his death, he left behind two storage rooms in Solana Beach filled to the rafters with his paintings on canvas, cardboard and on paper, as well as sketchbooks, journals and poetry. He lived a solitary life, having few friends and time only for his art. Painting through intermittent poverty and homelessness, he sometimes had little money for materials but still managed to leave hundreds of works on cardboard in addition to his main body of work on canvas. He did not own a car and was seen often on Highway 101 in North County walking or riding the bus carrying his canvasses to Del Mar’s Seagrove Park to paint. If he was lucky, sometimes he’d sell one. There are many similarities between Webb and Van Gogh. Both were supported by their brothers, painted out of necessity, died relatively unknown and both suffered from bouts with mental illness and substance abuse. There will be two events to commemorate his work: Webb’s brother, Academy Awardwinning author/screenwriter Michael Blake (“Dances With Wolves”) will share through film and verse “Boy In The Rain,” a reminiscence of his late brother, David. A selection of Webb’s paintings will be on view at both events and includes a hosted reception and book signing by Author Michael Blake. The events will be held: •Dec. 2 from 5 to 8 p.m., A Memorial Gathering at Martha Pace Swift Gallery at NTC Promenade, 2820 Roosevelt Road, Suite 204, San Diego, CA. 92106. •Dec. 4, from 1-4 p.m., David Webb Memorial, The Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center, 1658 Coast Blvd., Del Mar, 92014.

SDSU Writers’ Conference set for Jan. 27-29 When Susan Messenger asked a friend who had attended the SDSU Writers’ Conference to describe the event, his response was “The Magic Conference.” Magic, indeed. Messenger went to the conference in 2010 and is now the proud author of “Keepers of Lost Cities” that will be released next fall. “I wasn’t expecting to have any agents request pages or to garner any attention. What I wanted was to see how they responded and see if they spotted any weaknesses or mistakes. That way I could maybe fix some of those problems before I sent it out and accumulated a gigantic stack of rejections,” Messenger said with a laugh. Success doesn’t necessarily come overnight, but it does come over time to numerous individuals such as Messenger who have attended the SDSU Writers’ Conference. Margaret Dilloway knows the feeling. She twice attended the SDSU Writers’ Conference and is author of “How to be An American Housewife,” which was published in the summer of 2010. “I count what I learned at the SDSU Writers’ Conference as critical to my development as a professional novelist,” said Dilloway, who already has made a deal with Putnam Books to write another novel. Will there be others following in the footsteps of Messenger and Dilloway after attending the 28th annual SDSU Writers’ Conference on Jan. 27-29 at the Doubletree Hotel in San Diego’s Mission Valley? Based on experience, Dilloway would like to think so.

“It was very helpful talking face-to-face with agents and editors at the SDSU Writers’ Conference,” she said. “It made everything seem more possible than the remote concept of sending something to New York City and hoping some invisible person sees it.” This annual conference, hosted by SDSU’s College of Extended Studies, is among the largest of its kind on the West Coast. It annually includes one-on-one consultations and hands-on editing assistance. Participants will learn ways to sharpen their writing skills and make connections with editors and agents of fiction, nonfiction, and screenwriting while learning how to publish in the traditional manner or on the Internet. Consultation appointments and advance reading appointments are also offered for $50 apiece before Jan. 3 and $60 after Jan. 3 (with some restrictions.) New this year is the fact that participants may book an unlimited amount of appointments with an editor. Cost for attending the conference is $399 before Jan. 3 or $435 after Jan. 3 and does not include consultation appointment or advance reading appointment fees. Times are Jan. 27 from 4-7:30 p.m., Jan. 28 from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., and Jan. 30 from 9 a.m.-3:50 p.m. For complete information, visit www.neverstoplearning.net/writers/

Jason Danieley (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next to Normal,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Full Montyâ&#x20AC;?) portrays Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex Ben.

I was surprised how much that play resonated with people. That theme is also very strong in this play based on Ben, a musician, who is going back through his life and looking at moments when he could have done something different.â&#x20AC;? This curtain rises on a Christmas Eve when estranged lovers Molly and Ben canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but recall happier times, an unforgettable favorite song, and special memories.

V’s Barbershop, Del Mar holding ‘Movember’ Shave-a-Thon V’s Barbershop®, Del Mar steps up to support men’s health research and local cancer survivor with an innovative fundraising program called “Movember Shave-a-Thon.” For the first week of December (Dec. 2-9) V’s Barbershop, Del Mar will be donating 20 percent of its revenue from select services to the “Klein’s Journey” team of Movember participants. Klein’s Journey is a team of fundraisers supporting Steve Klein, a local optometrist and cancer survivor. Members of the team and Steve himself will be at V’s Barbershop, Del Mar on Friday, Dec. 2, and will get their ‘staches shorn off. The Movember movement is a global effort that started with humble beginnings in Melbourne Australia. Over the years it has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.1 million “Mo Bros” and “Mo Sistas” to participate with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada, the UK, Finland, Spain, South Africa and Ireland. In 2010, over 64,500 US “Mo Bros” and “Mo Sistas” got on board, raising $7.5 million. The movement’s goal is to change established habits and attitudes that men have about their health, to educate men about the health risks they face, and to act on that knowledge, thereby increasing the chances of early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.
“Movember is a great effort to focus all of our attention on the health challenges and risks that face men as they age,” said Scott McDaniel, owner of V’s Barbershop in Del Mar, “It’s also a fun event and a perfect pairing for the traditional straight-razor shaves we specialize in at V’s.” (V’s Del Mar is the only barbershop in town with the master craftsmanship 21-step process for the straight-edge shave). The Del Mar facility is the first upscale gentleman’s barbershop in San Diego, of the V’s Barbershop franchise network, and is hitting home runs with professional athletes and fathers and sons alike. V’s offers haircuts, shampoos, hot lather straight-edge shaves, beard and moustache trims along with facials, face and shoulder massages and grooming products. They are open Monday though Friday, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., 2638 Via de la Valle, Suite H; www.vbarbershop.com/locations/delmar; (858) 481- 4321. “It’s a Guy Thing®”
Calling all girls size 6x and 10: Auditions for the American Girl Fashion Show begin January 2012 Isabella’s Giraffe Club and the Scripps Performing Arts Academy invite girls size 6x and 10 to experience the American Girl Fashion Show, scheduled to perform on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 2 p.m., and Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 2 p.m. at Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall. This fun, engaging program showcases historical and contemporary fashions for girls and their dolls. Proceeds from the event will benefit Isabella’s Giraffe Club for UCSD Medical Center Infant Special Care Center. One-hundred local models will be selected to present the fashions, while lively commentary, music and decorations will create a memorable experience for girls and their families. “This is not a beauty contest. Every girl is beautiful inside and out. We need to match each girl with the doll they look like the most and the costume size that American Girl Programs send to us. It’s quite an undertaking,” according to Angela Amoroso, executive director and “Isabella’s Mommy.” To schedule your audition appointment and purchase tickets (a great holiday gift), please call Scripps Performing Arts at 858-586-7834.

Taste the best of both worlds when East meets West at The Inn BY KELLEY CARLSON xecutive Chef John Beriker brings a world of experience into the kitchen at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Growing up in the business since age 14, Beriker at one time worked with legendary chef Wolfgang Puck at Spago, and has served as executive chef at hotels in locations such as Singapore, Germany, Australia and Thailand. Subsequently, Beriker brings an “East meets West” flavor to his dishes. Managing Director Kerman Beriker (who is also John’s father) noted that the best quality ingredients are used and the food is 95 percent organic. “Be open-minded (about the menu),” Kerman suggested. The lunch and dinner menus vary, but among the starters on both are the Thai Vegetable Spring Roll, served with a sweet chili sauce; and The Inn’s Royce Salad (named for the owners) with Parmesan, avocado, bacon and buttermilk ranch dressing. Entree salads, burgers and sandwiches compose most of the lunch lineup — from the Organic Nicoise Ahi Tuna Salad to the Inn Burger (bacon, lettuce, tomato aged white cheddar and grilled red

The pink-hued Oven Roasted Wild Salmon is accompanied by a raspberry beurre blanc, while the Grilled Prime Brandt “All Natural” Filet Mignon is served with red wine lentils, smoked bacon, sugar snap peas and purple cauliflower. From the wok station, there’s Kung Pao and Panang Curry; both can be ordered as meat, seafood or vegetarian dishes. As for dessert, options include Peach Lavender Tart, Coffee Creme Brulee and Chocolate Trilogy Cake. An “Innfusion Kids Menu” is available for the under-12 crowd. There are such standards as macaroni and cheese and pizza
Patrons have a number of seating options, including the main dining room. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON with cheese or pepperoni, but items such as the 5-ounce Prime Filet Mignon and the Shrimp Cocktail make the Inn’s children’s offerings unique. Another aspect that distinguishes
the restaurant from others is that guests can enjoy their food anywhere on the picturesque property. There is a main dining room with red cushioned chairs surrounding tables draped with
white tablecloths, but choices abound. The adjacent library presents a cozy atmosphere, where guests can choose to dine near the fireplace and select a title to read, such as “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy or “Eat Pray Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s also a popular location for wine dinners and eight-course menus. Patrons can also warm up next to hearths in the bar (where locals enjoy watching sporting events on the TV) and on the patio, which gets plenty of shade from umbrellas stretching over the tables. Some guests take their food into the spacious nearby lobby and lounge on couches, often listening to Dan Troxell playing piano from 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Others head outside the Spanish Colonial building to the floweraccented terrace during pleasant weather, getting an eyeful of the Rancho Santa Fe landscape. Kerman added that along with room service, the Inn’s restaurant provides delivery to nearby homes — complete with china and glassware. “(It’s) the same way we do delivery in a guest room,” he said. “Our goal is to offer the best quality and consistency and professional service.”

For dessertarians, holiday sweet treats are a global tradition The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN ’Tis the season for sugar and spice in all kinds of vice from the rich, decadent marzipan to the iced Gingerbread Man. As a life long dessertarian, I can honestly say I have never met a sweet I didn’t love — even the kitschy fruitcake that multi-tasks as a weighttraining device or door stop. Here’s a luscious list from distant parts you can enjoy in your home for the holidays. Buon Natale! Traditional Christmas Italian treats emerged from convents where the nuns
whipped up celebratory sweets to present to noble families for special gifts. Some of these tasty morsels included cenci, a fried pastry ribbon dusted with confectioner’s sugar, a Neapolitan honey pastry called struffoli, and a cornucopia of candied nuts and chestnuts, figs and other dried fruits. The legendary sweet Christmas bread, panettone, originated in 16th century Genoa when master baker Antonio became smitten with an Italian princess, and created a buttery egg bread filled with jeweled fruits to win her heart. The bread or pane of Tony, ergo the name, panettone, evolved over the years to incorporate the patriotic colors of Italy with red cherries and green citron. Not to be overlooked are other traditional Italian Christmas goodies like honey-soaked cicerata and twice-baked almond biscotti, even finer when dunked in a frothy cup of espresso or a glass of sweet Vin Santo. Scotch Treat The Scots celebrate the
Twice-baked Hazelbut Biscotti My favorite treat this time of year and always is crispy, aromatic biscotti, not too sweet or fatty, that even the most discriminating Santa would give it the thumbs up with a tall glass of chilled milk. Mangia bene, vivi felice! Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of canola or safflower oil 1 1/2 cups of chopped hazelnuts A few drops of vanilla extract 3 cups of unbleached flour 2 teaspoons of baking powder A pinch of salt Beat the eggs and the
winter holidays with ancient customs revolving around a fire festival and the tradition of burning the

Yule log on Christmas Eve. Traditional desserts are sweet and hearty like dried fruit and current “mincemeat” pies, oatmeal bread, roasted apples, plum pudding and mealy shortbread with a mother lode of butter, ground oats and nuts originally baked in a circular shape symbolic of the sun. Today’s Scottish shortbreads are richer and more
On a floured board, form four flat oblong loaves. Transfer to a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the loaves and let cool for 2 minutes. Cut diagonally, one-inch wide. Lay on cut sides. Bake again for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
decadent, still loaded with butter, one savory version incorporating sharp cheddar cheese to punch up the flavor (and calories). Middle Eastern Munchies Halva, derived from Arabic meaning “sweet,” is a dense confection as healthful as it is divine, packed with sesame paste aka tahini, nuts, seeds and honey.
Other seasonal holiday versions contain an assortment of beans, lentils and veggies like carrots, pumpkin and yams. Halvah is enjoyed in Eastern Europe, northern Africa and throughout the Middle East and Jewish world, especially Israel. Although high in fat content, it is free of transfatty monsters, packed with protein, calcium, zinc, Vitamins E and A and dietary fiber. This delicacy sold in blocks or chunks, gives new meaning to “Turkish delight.” A Yen for Sweets In the land of the rising sun, the Japanese celebrate Christmas with a special cake bedecked in red and green icing, and a “Merry Christmas,” tag line either written on the cake or painted on the plate. This round, airy sponge cake is blanketed in whipped cream and decorated with assorted seasonal fruits. Nutty and Nice Noel Christmas in France is a buffet of elegant masterpieces with a bazillion pounds of butter. Start with rich marzipan, a thick, sticky almond honey paste; candied chestnuts called Marrons glacés; La bûche de Noël, a Yule log cake blending chocolate and chestnuts; a dried fruit cake called berauwecka, and the pièce de résistance – the 13 desserts representing Jesus and the 12 apostles.

elebrity chefs from around the country set their tables in San Diego for the third annual “To Save a Child’s Heart” Kawasaki Disease Foundation gala recently at the Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad. New York Celebrity Chef and KD parent Nate Appleman teamed up with “To Save a Child’s Heart” gala Co-Chairs Comischell Rodriguez and Jenn Phillips to bring a culinary experience to San Diego like none other. About 225 guests from San Diego and across the country attended to enjoy an exclusive event where four courses of gourmet food were prepared for them at their table by one of 15 nationally and internationally acclaimed chefs. Chefs Nate Appleman, William Bradley, Roy Choi, Vinny Ditolo, Chris Gerwig, Matt Gordon, David Hernandez, Gavin Kaysen, Mourad Lahlou, Joe Magnanelli, Charles Phan, Naomi Pomeroy, Jonathan Sawyer, Mike Solomonov, and Chad White created magic in the ballroom, providing their table guests with sumptuous flavors and meaningful memories of their time and support of KD research. Kawasaki Disease Foundation President Gregory Chin presented Leadership awards to Senator Webb of Virginia, and San Diego City Councilmember Sherri Lightner for their roles in publically recognizing National Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day on Jan. 26, 2011. Other recognitions went to Florida KD parent Karen Wicker for her service in the KD Bridges parent support program and to San Diego business leader Jay Flatley, president and CEO of Ilumina for the company’s partnership and generous support of the KD genome sequencing project that is expected to unveil important data for the better understanding of the cause of Kawasaki Disease. Among the guests were Chipotle founder and CEO Steve Ells and Back Street Boy Brian Littrell, his wife Leighanne and son Baylee. An exciting moment of the evening included an impromptu song by Brian to encourage funding of Kawasaki Disease research at UC San Diego’s Kawasaki Disease Research Center under the direction of Dr. Jane C. Burns. Dr. Burns leads the charge of an international collaborative of research to uncover the mysteries of the disease that is the #1 cause of acquired heart disease in children. The most coveted prizes of the evening were two VIP tickets to the American Idol finals week and private in-home dining with five of the celebrity chefs. The event brought in just under $150,000 and will be the first of several KD Foundation sponsored “Celebrity Chefs Cooking for KD” galas scheduled across the country to fund Kawasaki Disease Research at the University of California, San Diego. For more information on the San Diego or New York gala slated for the Spring of 2012, contact kdgalachairs@gmail.com.

By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. and Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lissa Trent, Ph.D. To follow up on a recent column that looked at What Women Can Do to Be Better Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. Partners to (Dr. He) and Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lissa Their Men, here is the other side of the equation when it comes to creating a long term, healthy relationship: Dr. He 1. Treating the woman you love with respect is a sign or your own self-respect. If there are ways that you are unfair toward her or unkind toward her or act dishonorably toward your partner, see it as an indication of your own lack of self-worth--then do something about it! 2. Have the courage to tell her something that she might not want to hear because--if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your truth--sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll respect you for taking the risk of saying something that she might have a different opinion about. 3. Learn the difference between expressing a feeling versus being judgmental. Underneath every judgment is a feeling, so communicate that feeling. Starting a sentence with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that you are.....â&#x20AC;? does NOT express a feeling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another way to deliver your judgment of her. Expressing a feeling sounds like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel angry/sad/hurt/ scared/confused when you....â&#x20AC;? 4. Give her the benefit of the doubt. When she says something hurtful--which will happen at times, unfortunately--do not
assume that she is intentionally trying to hurt you. 5. Figure out what it means to think and act more like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;? and less like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;meâ&#x20AC;?. For example, asking her what she may need when she is stressed out is a way of showing her love and respect--as well as showing her that you are interested in her life and what makes her tick. Being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;meâ&#x20AC;? kind of guy sends her the message that your needs are more important than what the relationship needs, which undermines the stability of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;teamâ&#x20AC;?. 6. Assume that whatever emotional immaturity you have is now officially an obstacle to your relationship with your wife. Participating in your relationship as an immature little boy and not as a mature, healthy adult man only compromises your marriage. Show up in your marriage by giving yourself permission to grow up into being the man you are here to be. 7. Hold her in your heart when you are by yourself out in the world by acting like a man who is part of a couple--even if she is not standing by your side. 8. Challenge your own comfort level by seeking to explore ways of being affectionate with her that do not have sex as the ultimate goal--and let her know that! 9. Be supportive of her need/desire to grow as a person. Her becoming happier with herself as a woman--even if it gets scary or confusing for you--will only help the relationship in the long run. 10. Do all of the above things because they will make you a better man on the planet. Do not do them to get her approval or because they will get her to love you more. She will instinctively feel better See PARTNERS, page B26
Jewish teens sought for service awards The deadline is Jan. 6 to nominate a philanthropic Jewish teen for a Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Award at www.jewishfed.org/teenawards/process Teens, ages 13-19, may be nominated by themselves, a teacher, community leader, rabbi, or friend, just not a family member. Their service projects may benefit the general or Jewish community.

Recipients are each awarded $36,000 to be used to further their education, to expand current projects or to explore new possibilities.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Holiday Wreath Re-Mixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class at Re-Gallery Dec. 17 Most people have ornaments and holiday decorations which are broken, chipped, or a bit-too-loved.

New Sinai Circle brings ancient wisdom to contemporary living BY MARTI GACIOCH La Jollaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Sinai Circle learning center hopes to shine a contemporary light on the ancient writings of the Torah and the soul of Kabbalah through a series of classes and lectures designed for modern living. The center, located at the Chabad of La Jolla, 909 Prospect St., No. 210, opened in late September, but only recently celebrated its official grand opening. According to Rabbi Baruch Ezagui, the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to offer an accessible environment where people from all denominations and backgrounds can learn how the authentic writings of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holy Books,â&#x20AC;? can be applied in their daily lives. The staff also includes Debbie Ford (creator of the Shadow Process Workshop and founder of The Ford Institute, a personal and professional training organization) and Audi Gozlan (a certified yoga instructor who teaches and leads Kabbalah Yoga workshops around the world). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sinai Circleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream is to create a name thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s synonymous with inspiration, with meaning, and a welcome environment where people can come and leave with something substantial that belongs to them so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dependent on an insti-

tution, or a center, or a guru or a lifestyle,â&#x20AC;? Rabbi Ezagui explained. The idea to create such a learning center came to the Rabbi after a member of La Jollaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewish community shared his epiphany that the Torah held a personal place in his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I began to think that maybe the Torah wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as accessible as I thought it was already, so our objective is to create an environment where we break the myth that the secrets of life are esoteric and beyond reach,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone can sit in our classes and realize that the Torah wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just talking to Moses; it was talking to them.â&#x20AC;? To realize the dream, Sinai Circle is offering lectures, classes and a series of three, six-week courses throughout the coming year that will address contemporary issues. Classes will be held every Monday, and each course will

Ezagui said. The second six-week course, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics,â&#x20AC;? will begin in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will address anything and everything finance-related,â&#x20AC;? Ezagui said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Torah can give clarity to anything business-related that might be questionable in a moral or ethical setting.â&#x20AC;? The final six-week course, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art of Marriage,â&#x20AC;? will be offered in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This series will address the concept of love, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to bring forth all the great sources of Torah in its wisdom to examine all the areas of love â&#x20AC;&#x201D; respect, intimacy, communication and marriage,â&#x20AC;?

According to Ezagui, every class is an open session that encourages questions and candid dialogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not here to preach or push a specific agenda; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to discuss, share ideas, and allow for people to grow at their own pace, and digest and understand what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re speaking about at their own level, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ezagui said. On Wednesday, Dec. 7, the center will present the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mind Matrix,â&#x20AC;? a lecture on Kabbala-based stress management and mind control techniques by Dr. Gill Heart Ph.D. Heart is a member of the elite Israel Defense Force Units. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be an interactive lecture and a fun, hands-on experience,â&#x20AC;? Ezagui said.

PARTNERS continued from page B21 about you and the relationship as you commit yourself to your own personal growth. Dr. She 1. Learn to show up emotionally--not our way-but in your own way. Despite myths, women are not good at reading your mind, so they need to know how you tick and what you need—which means that you need to know that about yourself as well. 2. Don’t be a little boy in the relationship. Unfortunately this can lead to a woman flipping into the mom role, which leads to micromanaging you. Yuk! Women
are multi-taskers and juggle a lot of different balls at the same time in a way men don’t. However, instead of avoiding doing it “her way” find a way to bridge the gap so your partner gets the feeling that you are doing your part in a conscious manner. This can mean doing things that you know need to get done “for the team” without her having to ask you to do them. 3. If you are respectful, loving, and communicative in little bits throughout the day, women won’t need a lot more romance or foreplay when it comes to feeling ready for intimacy. If she is feeling love and respect streaming in consistently, she will feel the connection in
REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE
her system and be much more available to share in the sexual piece of the relationship spontaneously. 4. Be reliable and dependable. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Women don’t really care if you need another hour at the office as long as you give them some advanced notice so that they can rearrange their own schedules. Communicating what is happening in your world that may have an impact on the relationship lets your woman know that you are considering her and that you value her time as well as your own. 5. There are times that women want you to be a sounding board for their story without you giving them advice. When a woman wants you to hear her,
try to put yourself in her shoes for a moment and find a way to validate her—even if you would have handled the situation differently. Remember, you don’t have to agree with her, you just need to understand her. Only offer solutions/advice if it is requested of you. 6. Don’t be a controlling father figure. This creates an unhealthy co-dependent relationship and speaks to something about your own personal fear of showing up as a partner who can be vulnerable in a relationship. 7. As Dr. He suggests… don’t be afraid to hurt your partner’s feelings with the truth. Women sense when you are keeping things from them or not being straight up. If you tip toe or lie, your partner won’t trust you, and she will start to feel crazy due
to the discrepancy between her gut and what you are telling her. The last thing you want is a crazy woman on your hands! No matter how hard the truth is, it is the best choice and the one women trust. 8. If your partner wants/needs to have a conversation about the relationship—and you are not feeling in the right frame of mind—give her an alternative time that works for you and stick to it. It will be a more successful conversation if you are present and prepared to have a dialogue. 9. Appreciate your woman beyond her looks—for her intelligence, her creativity, and the many other abilities she possesses. If she feels seen and appreciated by you at a deeper level, you’ll be surprised what you will receive in return! 10. Don’t be threatened by her girlfriends. Encourage her to have her “girl time” because it is a necessary outlet for her to have and one that is difficult for you to provide. Her relationship and closeness with you is a completely unique experience—different than the one she shares with her girlfriends.
