Miramar cemetery foundation gets veteran leader from RSF BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK The first inground burial at the new Miramar National Cemetery, held on April 14, marked another milestone in a long-awaited dream for many local veterans, according to its foundation’s incom- Anthony Principi ing chairman. Rancho Santa Fe resident Anthony Principi, U.S. Veterans Affairs secretary from 2001 to 2005, will become the Fort Rosecrans and Miramar National Cemetery Support Foundation chairman in June. “No one is more deserving and better suited to replace me as chairman of the foundation,” said retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert L. Cardenas. “(Principi) led the effort at the national level for expansion of veterans cemetery facilities in San Diego.

“Under his guidance, Miramar National Cemetery will become a shining jewel on the high mesa of Miramar, a shrine for our fallen heroes,” Cardenas said. Principi, a senior vice president of Pfizer, Inc. and executive chairman of QTC Management, Inc., said, “I’m proud to continue (Cardenas’) legacy of service to veterans as we honor their service in hallowed ground.” Cardenas has been the foundation’s chairman since it formed in 2002. Among his efforts were making the 313-acre cemetery at MCAS Miramar a reality. It is the first national cemetery built in San Diego since 1934. Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery at Point Loma has been closed to in-ground burials since 1966. Since then, deceased veterans who chose a traditional burial instead of cremation have been interred at Riverside National Cemetery, about 90 miles away. As chairman, Principi, who splits his time between homes in St. Michaels, Md., and Rancho Santa Fe, said he will lead the volunteer foundation in its fundraising and See LEADER, page 26

Plans to redevelop fairgrounds moving forward By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer Plans to redevelop the Del Mar Fairgrounds moved one step closer to happening Monday, April 18, when the 22nd District Agricultural Association (22nd DAA) board certified a master plan that spells out some major changes to the property. During a public meeting held on the property, 22nd DAA board members voted to certify the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the 2008 Master Plan, which includes replacing the 50-year old exhibit halls, widening the turf track, and adding a health club, a parking facility and an electronic reader board sign. The 22nd DAA board members also voted to eliminate a proposed hotel-condo from the plan, which had spurred strong

outcry from surrounding communities and conservation agencies that claimed it was too much development for a property so close to fragile wetlands. Board members also modified the plan to include a 100-foot greenway buffer between the San Dieguito River and the new exhibit halls. The board also agreed to hold public meetings to discuss the design of major developments on the property, such as the reader board sign and the exhibit halls. The master plan has been in the works for more than a decade and has been met with steady resistance, as was evidenced during the April 18 meeting. Several public officials and group representatives at the local, regional, and state levels came out to speak against the project including: Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner, Del Mar councilman

Closing arguments delivered in private school lawsuit case BY KELLY WHEELER CITY NEWS SERVICE Administrators at La Jolla Country Day School followed protocol ``to the letter’’ in dealing with a former student who claimed she was bullied by other students, an attorney for the school said this week, but a lawyer for the plaintiff said the school retaliated against her client because she complained. Closing arguments were delivered in the case brought by Desiree Barbara Bagby, who claims officials at the private school did nothing to stop the abuse against her. Her attorney asked the jury for $1 million in damages. Bagby said derogatory slurs were written on her car and pictures of a penis were drawn on the vehicle, a student drove straight at her in a school parking lot, she was threatened over the Internet and a dead rat was placed in her locker. John Collins, an attorney for the school, told a jury the lawsuit was a ``misuse’’ of the justice system and was brought for retaliation against La Jolla Country Day. ``They (school administrators) followed protocol to the letter,’’ Collins told the jury. Bagby’s father told his daughter’s school adviser that the goal of the legal action was to drag La Jolla Country Day through the mud, Collins told the jury. Collins said most of the witnesses in the trial contradicted some of Desiree Bagby’s testimony that she was bullied and that

school didn’t do enough about it. Bagby was suspended for five days after admitting stealing beer and drinking during a school-sponsored trip to Ecuador and yelling an obscenity at a heckler during a school soccer game, according to court testimony. ``She was not the center of the universe,’’ Collins told the jury. A recommendation to expel Bagby was overturned, but she was ultimately asked to withdraw from the school, which she did. Bagby claimed she was not sent a re-enrollment contract for her junior year, but Collins said the school principal sent one to her home the day after it came to his attention. Bagby, now 18 and in college, heard from her mother, not the school, that she was not going to be able to attend the school for her junior year, Collins said. Collins said Bagby — who filed her lawsuit in April 2009 — was basically accusing the three top school officials of lying about how the situation was handled. Joane Garcia-Colson, Bagby’s attorney, told the jury that the school wanted to make an example out of her. Garcia-Colson said her client was humiliated on the bench after her soccer coach suspended her for missing a game. By not notifying the Bagbys that their daughter wasn’t getting a contract to re-enroll at the school, administrators ``broke their own rules’’ and ``betrayed’’ Bagby, her See LAWSUIT, page 24

Rancho Riding Club continues to thrive with recent upgrades By Diane Y. Welch Contributor For 66 years, the Rancho Riding Club (RRC) on Rambla De Las Flores has been a mainstay in the Ranch for all aspects of horseback riding. For 18 of those years, club manager Bill Milligan, with his board of directors, has overseen and steered the club toward steady growth and improvement. Recently, through the direction of the seven-member board, RRC has made improvements to its four arenas, adding corral dividers and new fencing. It has installed new gates with lights, renovated its entrances, and beautified the landscaping. Always known for the high quality of its equestrian facilities and its convenient access to the 40 miles of Rancho Santa Fe trails, the RRC has become a hub for training and horsemanship for both children and adults. The RRC was originally started in 1945 by former movie producer John Roberston, according to Connie Clotfelter’s book, “Echoes of Rancho Santa Fe.” The following year the present property was acquired on March 12, 1946. Jess McMillan filled the trainer post for several years. Today five trainers are in residence at RRC, each with their own style and discipline. “I’m really excited that we have such a talented team of trainers,” said club and board member Ann Boon. Tina Caldwell, head trainer of Caldwell Dressage, has been a part of RRC for 18 years. Formerly assistant trainer to three-time Olympian Guenter Seidel, a decade-long engagement, she offers a learning platform in German dressage, for the amateur as well as more experienced riders. Debbie Rocha, a recent addition to the RRC team, was originally trained by the late legendary horseman Ray Hunt. She provides western training. “I work with horses and their people,” said Rocha, who teaches horsemanship skills that translate to the show arena as well as to the trail. Nicole Johnson, owner of Premier West Stables, runs an active lesson program for children and adults. Her discipline focus is on western and saddleseat. She also offers full service horse care, children’s summer camps, and organized trail rides. Royal Oak Stables, run by owner Wanda Weldy, special-

Wanda and her staff provide full training and care for both rider and horse, has a competitive show team, and offers English riding lessons through her Riding Academy. Chance Arakelian, a former student of RRC — mentored by the accomplished Hap Hansen — teaches all levels of riding, including ponies, hunters, equitation, jumpers and Grand Prix. Most recently, he has attained a large “R” rated judging credential and is trainer certified by the USHJA trainer certification program. The club stables 110 horses and is currently at capacity. It has 140 members, 50 of whom are children, said Milligan. It hosts two shows a year, with the first, a hunter/jumper show slated for May 21.

“We have a lot of new families who have joined, so our family-based activities involving children are growing. It’s a wonderful thing for the community,” said Milligan. “And the best part of being in the club is watching these kids grow up, all of a sudden going from kindergarten to going away to college,” he added. Beginners and experienced riders, and both covenant and non-covenant residents are welcome. Trial memberships are also available. Upcoming events include a spring celebration egg hunt in April, a fundraising Bingo Bonanza in May, and a big RRC Exhibition and barbecue during Rancho Days in the fall.

Owner brings creativity to RSF’s Clinton Hall named new salon in RSF Village to Dean’s list at Johns Hopkins BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer A new salon has opened in the Rancho Santa Fe village called Style. Owner Carolyn Schlange-Porras, formerly of Salon Salon in Fairbanks Village Plaza, opened the salon in the Badger building on La Granada on April 5. “It’s been better than every expectation,” said Schlange-Porras. “I’ve always wanted to have a salon in the village and I kept my eyes open for the last five years.” She had expected to find a little nook in the village, but calls her current space “grand”—she had the unit completely redone, putting in a new tile floor and modernizing the space while maintaining the village charm. She is still awaiting some furniture from Cassidy Interiors of Solana Beach, but her roomy brown leather stylists’ chairs were in and already in use by clients last Friday afternoon. Schlange-Porras has been a hair stylist for more than 20 years, starting when she was just 13 years old. “My high school offered it so I was taking cosmetology courses at 16 years old,” SchlangePorras said. Being a hair stylist just seemed like a very natural career choice—she loves the industry. She loves the connections made with clients, making them look and feel beautiful inside and out. “I just love being creative and it’s impor-

Rancho Santa Fe resident Clinton Hall was named to the Dean’s list for academic excellence for the fall 2010 semester at The Johns Hopkins University. To be selected for this honor, a student must earn a grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale in a program of at least 14 credits with at least 12 graded credits. Clinton Hall is the son of Bruce and Susan Hall and attended Torrey Pines High School. Clinton Hall, who is majoring in an arts and sciences pre-major, will graduate in May 2014.

The Texas-native had her first salon in Houston before moving to San Diego 13 years ago. She coowned Salon Salon, that’s why it was important to stay in the Rancho Santa Fe area and service her clients. Style, with Schlange-Porras’ “amazing stylists” Stacy Prida and Pamela Pacheco, specializes in the “artistry of hair.” They do color, custom cuts, keratin smoothing treatments, the Yuko straightening system, custom blow-outs, and bridal and formal styles. The salon works with Kevin Murphy products as well as Number 4. To learn more or book an appointment, call (858) 759-9933. Style is at 6119 La Granada, suite E.

‘Dedication Ceremony’ held for new Helen Woodward Animal Center facility

Tickets are now available for CCA’s ‘Big Top’ fundraiser ‘Cirque du CCA’

The Helen Woodward Animal Center held a “Dedication Ceremony” on April 16 for the new small animal medical facility and administrative offices. “It’s not exactly Noah and the Ark,” says HWAC spokesman John Van Zante. “But this move is a major undertaking after more than 35 years in the first building that Helen erected to care for orphan animals and to educate children.” Bryce Rhodes, chairman of the center’s board of directors and grandson of Helen Whittier Woodward, believes his grandmother would be pleased. “She had a great love of animals. It would definitely make her happy to see what has become of the work that she began when she bought this property 40 years ago.” HWAC President Mike Arms says that the new facility has been a long time coming. “Even before I arrived at HWAC in 1999 there was already talk about the need to expand in order to continue serving the community that has grown around the center. It’s been my honor to lead us through this phase of construction and into the future of the center.” Van Zante says the new building, located near the original entrance of the Center on San Dieguito Road, covers 20,358 square feet. While the mailing address for HWAC will remain as P.O. Box 64, Rancho Santa Fe, CA, the physical address will become 6523 Helen Woodward Way, Suite 100. Visit www. animalcenter.org.

RSF Rady auxiliary blood drive team receives Mabel Jessop Spirit Award The blood drive team of the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital received the Mabel Jessop Spirit Award at the 58th annual meeting of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary for establishing a day of health and giving to the San Diego community. The unit’s blood drive committee is headed by Nancy Cetel Weiss, M.D., and auxiliary members Tiffany Catledge, Gina Jordan and Lesa Thode. The Mabel Jessop Spirit Award was established to acknowledge groups of auxiliary members who encourage team spirit within the auxiliary. This award is given to those who reach out to the community above and beyond the unit level to promote Rady Children’s mission. Other criteria include making a significant contribution that impacts the community through the introduction of ideas. The blood drive team acknowledged the generosity of local businesses and residents that joined the Unit to make the annual blood drive a healthful celebration of giving. Last year, on a cold, windy March morning, blood donors were warmed by coffee, tea, and chocolate chip cookies from Tim Cusac’s Caffe Positano. That afternoon, donors enjoyed a healthful lunch provided by the Naked Café of Solana Beach and Encinitas, and were treated to a beautifully decorated cheese tray from Delicias restaurant. The local Girl Scout troop, headed by Lesa Thode, provided adult-supervised child care and art projects for blood donors’ children. The Scripps Dermatology Group of Carmel Valley, in space provided by the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center, gave free skin cancer screenings and sunscreen samples to encourage healthy skin care habits. The advice of these Scripps dermatologists contributed to follow-up visits for a number of Rancho Santa Fe residents. Nearly 30 pints of blood was collected for the San Diego Blood Bank. The Unit will hold it’s annual blood drive and celebration of health May 4 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. To donate blood, you may schedule an appointment online at www.sandiegobloodbank.org. Click on mobile blood drive on May 4, 2011 and follow the prompts to make an appointment.

Mary Oakes Smith

Profile

Former World Bank manager focuses her expertise on empowering Iraqi women to rebuild a new Iraq BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor The way Mary Oakes Smith views the world is this: “There are good people everywhere, you just have to find them and reinforce them.” And that, in fact, is what she has been doing throughout her entire working life — for 30 years as an “on the ground” development project manager with the World Bank in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and Iran, and now, in her second career, as the founder and president of the Iraqi Women’s Fellowship Foundation (IWFF). The nonprofit Washington, D.C.-based foundation provides fellowships for Iraqi women, who are currently faculty members or graduate students at uni-

versities in Iraq, to advance their studies in engineering and applied sciences, from petroleum to environmental, at U.S. universities so they can return to Iraq as leaders in the rebuilding of their war-torn country. We interviewed Smith in her home here just prior to her return to Washington, D.C. Smith, 69, is a trim, Katharine Hepburn-style woman with silver-gray hair and light blue eyes who looks as if she would be equally comfortable participating in development conferences in Washington, London and Paris or monitoring the allocation of aid in a construction hut in Brazil’s Amazon jungle. Nowadays, however, her focus is on Iraq — and her personal commitment

Quick Facts Name: Mary Oakes Smith Distinction: After serving 30 years as a project manager with the World Bank, Mary Oakes Smith is the founder and president of the Iraqi Women’s Fellowship Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit that provides fellowships for Iraqi women to study engineering and applied sciences at U.S. universities and return to Iraq to help in that country’s reconstruction. Born: Philadelphia, Pa. Education: B.A. in political science, Smith College, 1963; master’s in management science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (MIT), 1977. Family: She and her husband, retired international trade lawyer Harrell Smith, have been married 44 years. They have two grown children, Caroline and Harrell, and two grandchildren. Interests: Travel, gardening and historical houses Favorite getaways: Solana Beach and their 70-acre historic 1768 farm in Virginia Favorite film: “Casablanca,” the 1942 classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Recent reading: “From Third World to First: The Singapore Story: 1965-2000,” by Lee Kuan Yew Philosophy: “There are good people everywhere, you just have to find them and reinforce them.”

is to the empowerment of Iraqi women, who were marginalized under Saddam Hussein and suffered through seven years of war and occupation. Smith is working to help them become leaders in the vital fields of engineering and applied sciences as Iraq rises from the ashes of war. Smith was born Mary Oakes Skinner in Philadelphia. Her father, James M. Skinner Jr., was president of radio-pioneering Philco (originally the Philadelphia Battery Company) Corporation from 1956 to 1961. She described her mother as a “professional volunteer who … became the head of the Association of Junior Leagues and later became very much involved with rehabilitation of the handicapped.” After graduating from Smith College in 1963 with a bachelor’s degree in political science, Mary Oakes began her career as a trainee in international development at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), where she remained for three years. She married international trade lawyer Harrell Smith in 1966 and, in 1969, joined the World Bank where she remained for 30 years, earning her master’s degree in management science from MIT in 1977, and retiring in 1999. “All of this,” she said, “was a byproduct of the fact that my parents believed in international travel as a form of education. We, as a family, traveled from the time I was 6 years old every summer. And it just became part of me.” As for her career with the World Bank, she said: “I wouldn’t have missed a day of it. I absolutely thrived on it. I loved working overseas, working on the ground in operations, working with people, understanding their needs and trying to figure out the best way forward. And once you’ve had that kind of association with the World Bank, you don’t dis-

Mary Oakes Smith (PHOTO: JON CLARK) continue it.” The World Bank, created in 1944, headquartered in Washington, D.C., and owned by 186 member countries, provides low-interest loans, interest-free credits and grants to developing countries to reduce poverty through investments in education, health, infrastructure and modernization of a country’s financial sector, agriculture and natural resources. Often, Smith said, World Bank retirees launch foundations or join organizations to continue the work of helping in whatever ways they can. In 2004-05, while consulting on a U.S. Trade and Development-funded feasibility study for the Women’s Information, Communication and Technology Center (ICT), she became aware of the plight of Iraqi women. She later led a Women’s Learning Network team to UNESCO’s conference for the Revitalization

of Higher Education in Iraq. In 2008, she incorporated the Iraqi Women’s Fellowship Foundation as a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit. And, in 2009-10, with $435,000 in seed funding from the State Department, she launched a pilot program for three Iraqi women faculty members from three Iraqi universities to become visiting scholars at Stanford, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego. The first group of Iraqi women have returned to Iraq as stipulated by the program and are actively engaged in upgrading research in communications engineering, supporting a GIS/GPS (Geologic Information System/Global Positioning System) project to develop Iraq’s electrical control centers, leading in the establishment of solar energy research at Iraqi universities; and developing Internet and security systems for government and businesses. A second group of

three Iraqi women are now studying at Caltech, UCSD and Smith College. AMIDEAST/Iraq, an NGO that handles Fulbright fellowships in Iraq, administers the IWFF’s program in Iraq. “Historically,” Smith said, “Iraqi women were among the most educated in the Arab world and had long traditions of equality and very established professional careers and were considered first rate … But, the role of Iraqi women declined and was reversed during the last half of Saddam Hussein’s regime. Women were denied access to senior positions in any profession and universities were denied contact with the external world.” Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, hundreds of Iraqi intellectuals and academics were among those killed in the subsequent sectarian violence. Also, the country suffered a brain drain of the professionals who fled Iraq. As a result, Smith said, Iraq currently lacks the skills and leadership, particularly in the fields of engineering and the sciences, that are vital to the rebuilding of the country. Women comprise 52 percent of Iraq’s population. “Having regained equal rights to education, full participation in the workplace, and having been granted a 25 percent quota of parliamentary seats,” she added, “Iraqi women are in a position to play a vital role in the development of their country.” IWFF is seeking additional government (both U.S. and Iraqi) support, and private donor funding to carry out its plan to bring a total of 50 Iraqi women to study at U.S. universities over a five-year-period.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

‘Sam the Cooking Guy’ sizzles with new book, ‘Just Grill This!’ BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Sam Zien, better known as “Sam the Cooking Guy,” likes to say that cooking is a lot like riding a bike. “The more you do it, the better you get,” said Zien. “I fully believe that. People always think that they can’t cook but it’s just that they don’t cook.” With his third book, “Just Grill This!”, Zien encourages people to conquer the sometimes-intimidating skill of grilling. With his trademark tasty simplicity, the book offers up more than 120 recipes, going far beyond just burgers and dogs—grilled baguette French toast anyone? Zien has lived in his Carmel Valley home for 16 years and it serves as the set for his TV show that airs on Cox Channel 4 in San Diego and is syndicated nationwide. Two episodes per month are shot in his kitchen, which underwent a renovation two years ago to include a spacious teak wood countertop, colorful tiled backsplashes and every shiny, dream kitchen appliance you could think of. Zien became “Sam the Cooking Guy” in 2002. His previous gig was completely unrelated to cooking or TV at all—he worked as director of operations in a biotech company. He left the job to pursue television, originally planning to do a travel show. “I liked the idea of a regular-sort-of-guy showing you how to do something you didn’t know how to do,” Zien said. His travel show plans were derailed by 9/11 and he was in search of some-

Sam Zien’s new book, ‘Just Grill This!’ thing else a regular-sort-ofguy could show people how to do. A self-proclaimed “student of TV,” he happened upon a cooking segment on a local news show that he thought was pretty boring. “That needs to be better,” Zien thought, and in a flash decided a cooking show was the direction he’d head, even though up until then his wife Kelly had done all the cooking — he had been in charge of the grilling, which he said was mostly “the burning.” To avoid being boring on TV, Zien kept his delivery natural, honest and “100 percent me.”

“I was not very good in my early TV appearances compared to now. It took me awhile to find my voice and comfort zone,” Zien said. Zien began appearing in regular TV cooking spots on San Diego television and then his new career took off from there. Zien is a 12-time Emmy Award winner and, as said, is the host of “Sam the Cooking Guy,” which is broadcast on Cox Channel 4 in San Diego and appears in syndication nationwide. The show “Just Cook This with Sam the Cooking Guy” is in re-runs on Fit TV. He went on to appear on “The Today Show,” say-

ing the word ‘frickin’ as he prepared enchiladas with Natalie Morales. Morales would tell him it was the first time the word had been used on “The Today Show” and yet he booked his second appearance a half an hour later. Next month, Zien will appear on “The Today Show” for the 10th time. In Sam’s kitchen, he always keeps it simple—his motto being “small in effort, big in taste.” “I stay away from fois gras,” he said. “That’s why God invented restaurants.” Ingredients are few and the recipes are uncomplicated and presented with Zien’s humor. Sometimes the most basic things he’s done were the most popular, like a show he did on how to hard boil an egg. These days, when Zien is grilling, he’s no longer burning. The book is filled with recipes for grilled sandwiches, vegetables, beef, seafood, desserts, hot dogs, burgers, rubs and sauces, as well as tips and tricks of the trade. His number one tip? Bring the heat. “I don’t think people cook with nearly enough heat,” Zien said. “You need a lot of heat and I think people are scared to use it. “ With the right amount of heat, Zien can cook a steak perfectly with five minutes on one side, four on the other. To name just a few of the mouth-watering recipes featured in his new book, there’s sesame grilled meatballs, grilled romaine salad, steak and mashed potato quesadillas, bacon wrapped

hot dogs, blue cheese stuffed sliders, Mexican chicken on a Mexican beer can, and cedar planked salmon. Zien doesn’t forget about dessert either—the book also includes mango dessert tacos and G.B.F. (grilled bananas foster). His new book, “Just Grill This!”, also uses the same funny, conversational style that Zien uses on TV— he wrote every word of the book so it reads as though he’s talking to you. On the recipe for a grilled catfish sandwich, Zien writes: “it’s like a bit of the South right where you are. Unless you’re already there, then it’s like…oh never mind.” Along with photos of the food in the book, there’s plenty of shots of Zien’s family in the kitchen with him, the dogs too, a nod to the importance of the father of three’s family in his life. Kelly doesn’t cook anymore, Zien does it all, including keeping his 16-yearold son well fed. Zien said the Torrey Pines High lacrosse player eats “40 times a day” and he enjoys preparing every bite he eats. Zien said he believes in families and couples, especially, cooking together. “When I autograph a book to a couple I always write, ‘Cook Together-always’,” Zien writes in the book. “I think being together in a kitchen, the fun, the hassle, the casualness of the whole thing, whatever it is, is good for two people. I mean, doing things together is obviously good, but the kitchen often becomes one person’s domain and that just shouldn’t be.”

One of the recipes in Zien’s book is for a chicken parmesan sub. Zien said he has no plans yet for book number four, but he is starting on another venture, a new TV show on PBS called “The Great American Chefs Tour.” Zien will serve as host, going around the country to spotlight standout chefs in different cities. The chefs will prepare a signature dish in front of a live audience as Zien does his best Ryan Seacrest, only slightly edgier. The first taping was done on April 7 at San Diego’s House of Blues, featuring Chef Matt Gordon of Urban Solace, Chef Isabel Cruz of Isabel’s Cantina, Chef Anthony Sinsay of Harney Sushi, and Chef William Gustwiller of Eclipse Chocolat. Although “Sam the Cooking Guy” has taken him to New Zealand, Fiji, Hong Kong and Vancouver, with the new show, Zien will finally get a taste of the travel show he always wanted. “I’m a lucky kid,” he said. The book is available through all booksellers. To learn more, visit thecookingguy.com

RSF resident’s Notre Dame team wins NCAA fencing championship BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Rancho Santa Fe resident and University of Notre Dame senior fencer Barron Barron Nydam Nydam was a member of the Notre Dame team that won the NCAA national championship in fencing on March 17 in Columbus, Ohio. Nydam, 22, had a 15-8 record in the championships, placing him sixth in the country individually. His performance earned him his fourth All-America distinction, the 19th ever in the Notre Dame fencing program’s history. The Rancho Santa Fe native started fencing when he was 10 years old during a one- week camp at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. “I really loved the fact that it was both physical and very mental at the same time,” said Nydam, comparing the sport to “physical

Barron Nydam, left, fences for Notre Dame. chess.” There is a great amount of strategy involved in fencing, he said, and he enjoyed the element of being creative in how he competed. He began taking private lessons with Spartak Fencing Club in Sorrento Valley while attending Diegueno Country Day School and Santa Fe Christian. When he was 15,

he started competing in World Cups, traveling to compete all over the world in places such as Venezuela, Spain, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Ireland. He continued to compete nationally and internationally over the next seven years through college. Eventually Nydam was recruited to attend Notre

Dame for fencing on a full scholarship. Nydam really loved Notre Dame and the closeness of his fencing team— they spent a lot of time together practicing five times a week in addition to competing. “Notre Dame fencing was like a family,” Nydam said, “It really kind of mim-

icked that North County San Diego/Rancho Santa Fe mentality of knowing all your neighbors and being a real close-knit community. It was a family environment and, in that way, Notre Dame and the team reminded me of home,” The Notre Dame athletic website describes Nydam as a sturdy 6’-1” with “tremendous natural speed.” He earned All-American honors all four years, second-team his freshman and senior years, and third team his junior and sophomore years. He said the key to his success was supportive and knowledgeable coaching, along with really loving the sport. “All the time spent practicing and learning about the sport takes so many hours so you really have to be passionate about it,” Nydam. The Notre Dame team had reached a high level in the championships three times before but had always come up short. They finished second in Nydam’s freshman and sophomore years and third last year. To leave college on a high note, as a NCAA champion was a satis-

fying accomplishment. “We finally managed to pull it out this year,” Nydam said. “We worked really hard to get ourselves where we are and it’s very rewarding.” While winning the NCAA championships meant a lot to him, Nydam’s other most memorable fencing accomplishment was winning the Pacific Coast Championships multiple times as it is the one tournament he gets to fence side-by-side with his longtime coach Dmitriy Guy, the man who introduced Nydam to the sport all those years ago at the community center. Nydam will graduate in May with a degree in accounting and already has a job lined up at Ernst & Young in La Jolla—he’s excited to come back home to San Diego. For now, he is not looking to continue fencing competitively as he plans to lunge fully into his career. Nydam said he would consider becoming a fencing coach or perhaps a referee someday. “I love the fencing community and I want to stay involved in it,” Nydam said.

‘Rotarians at Work’ to benefit RSF Senior Center Join Fairbanks Republican Women Federated for popular annual May fashion show & luncheon

The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club will hold its annual “Rotarians at Work” event at the RSF Senior Center on Saturday, April 30. The Rotary Club members and community volunteers will be planting, mulching and cleaning up the landscape to complete the renovation initiated by fellow RSF Rotarian Fran Lambert. The idea for the landscape renovation originated when the RSF Senior Center contacted the Santa Fe Irrigation District for help in decreasing its water usage. Michael Banks, the district’s water conservation specialist, arranged for an audit of the site. He found that the combination of an outdated drip irrigation system & overwatering contributed to excess water usage. Banks contacted Fran Lambert of Mariposa Landscape & Tree Service Inc. for help. Lambert’s company recently completed a similar pro bono project at the RSF Garden Club. Mariposa Landscape & Tree Service Inc, agreed to renovate the RSF Senior Center property at no charge. Fran Lambert and Michael Banks contacted the Rainbird Corporation who agreed to donate the parts needed to replace the drip irrigation system. Rainbird generously provided all that was

needed, supplemented by donations from Grangetto’s Farm & Garden Supply. Mariposa’s crew has spent many hours installing the new system. Banks, now retired from the water district, has also devoted numerous days of volunteer time to the project. The initial walkthrough of the RSF Senior Center’s grounds revealed areas that could benefit from attention in order to restore the natural beauty of the original landscape design. Some of the existing trees and original plants installed 10 years ago when the Senior Center moved into the historic Lilian Rice structure on La Gracia had either died or were in poor condition. Mariposa’s tree crew has since pruned or removed as needed to prepare for new plants to be installed. The RSF Rotary Club will be planting and putting the finishing touches on the Senior Center property to prepare the gardens for their outdoor activities in the upcoming months. Rotary and other vendors will donate the plants, mulch, and other materials required. A short class on “Water Wise Plants and Water Conserving Irrigation” will be offered to the volunteers during the Rotarians at Work Day event on April 30.

Canyon Crest Academy selected as a ‘Grammy Signature School’ By City News Service The Grammy Foundation announced recently that three dozen schools nationwide, including Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley, have been selected as Grammy Signature Schools for 2011. Created in 1998, the program ``recognizes top U.S. public high schools that are making an outstanding commitment to music education during an academic school year,’’ according to the Santa Monica-based Grammy Foundation, an arm of The Recording Academy. Canyon Crest was the only campus in San Diego County, and one of only a handful of California schools, to be chosen this year. ``The Grammy Signature Schools program exemplifies the Grammy Foundation’s commitment to fostering excellence in music education in public high schools,� said Neil Portnow, president/CEO of The Recording Academy and the Grammy Foundation. ``With the generous support of our partners, we’ve been able to grant the largest number of Grammy Signature Schools awards in recent history, with 36 public high schools in communities across the United States receiving this recognition,’’ he said. Portnow added that he is ``especially proud that this year in the Enterprise Award category for economically underserved schools, we have announced the largest number of recipients in the Grammy Foundation’s history.�

Each of the three dozen Signature Schools will receive a custom award and a monetary grant to benefit its music program. The top seven schools are designated Gold recipients, with one of those named the National Grammy Signature School — a designation worth $15,000 for Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, Mich. The other six Gold schools each will receive $5,500. Two remaining Grammy Signature Schools recipients will receive a grant award of $2,500 to benefit their music programs. In the Enterprise Award category, which recognizes efforts made by schools that are economically underserved, 27 schools, including Canyon Crest, will each receive a $5,500 grant. The selection process for Grammy Signature Schools begins each August, when the foundation mails notifications to more than 20,000 public high schools from districts large and small, urban, suburban and rural, requesting information about each school’s music program. Applications are completed and submitted online in October. After the applications are scored, finalists are identified and asked to submit additional documentation, such as recordings of school concerts, sample concert programs and repertoire, for review by an independent committee of music educators and professionals.

Nativity School student wins contest with tribute to teacher BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer RSF’s Nativity School fourth-grader Teresa Perez recently won the local Barnes & Noble’s “My Favorite Teacher” contest with her wonderful tribute and poem to her teacher, Daniel Costa. Teresa McClatchy of the Del Mar Highlands Barnes & Noble store came to Nativity on April 14 to present Teresa and Costa with special certificates. “I was surprised,” said Costa of the honor. “Teresa is a great student and her writing is excellent. It’s been a joy to have her in class this year.” In her written tribute, Teresa wrote that she was nervous about entering fourth grade because it’s the year the homework doubles and is the first year for letter grades. But with Mr. Costa’s help, it has ended up being a great year. “You have helped me to build a love for learning and reading with your enthusiasm, creativity and encouragement,” Teresa read from her letter. “Gaining this love for learning and reading is such a special gift as I am excited every day to explore and learn something new.” She wrote about how Costa keeps things interesting with Jeopardy games, simulations, team projects and his sense of humor. “I hope you are recognized so that it may inspire you and other teachers to always teach with passion from the heart,” wrote Teresa. “It is so important for the future of America and makes all the difference in the world.”

Teresa Perez’s poem for Daniel Costa “Mr Costa is a teacher who brings out the best!” You care to share your knowledge, leadership and creativity. You dare to care with your patience, positive energy and ability to connect with each of your students. You give it no rest as you put your students to the test to always be and do their best. Therefore, you bring out my best as I give it no rest until I have done my best. You are the best and different from the rest. I thank you from my heart and will always remember you, even when we part, as you have helped me to shine and grow smart.”

Medical Center Library closure first casualty of UCSD Libraries budget cuts By Dave Schwab STAFF WRITER UC San Diego Libraries last week took the first hit from a budget scenario which has campus officials planning for a 12 percent cut. On April 1, the Medical Center Library in Hillcrest closed its doors. Budget planners have outlined a worst-case scenario for trimming $3 million in FY 2011-12 — on top of nearly $5 million in cuts since 2008-09 — which consolidates six library buildings and staffs into two. Also planned are further trims in collections, canceling journal subscriptions and online databases, and reducing book expenditures. Hoping for the best and preparing for the worst, the proposed cuts were outlined recently in a budget report by Brian E.C. Schottlaender, the Audrey Geisel University librarian, in response to the governor’s recent proposed $500 million cut to the University of California’s budget for next year. At the outset, Schottlaender’s budget report objects to the current formula used to allocate campus budget reductions claiming it doesn’t factor in the “size of the libraries’ budget versus the campus’s budget” and doesn’t “protect the academic core.” “If the libraries are not central to the academic core, what is?” Schottlaender wrote in his report, which notes that the university’s libraries have sustained permanent budget cuts of almost $5 million — 16 percent of libraries core base budget — since 2008-09. In a recent interview, Schottlaender said he was originally asked to prepare a report detailing a $6 million — 25 percent — budget reduction plan. “Instead, I prepared a plan for a $3 million — 12 percent — reduction,” he said. The 12 percent libraries budget reduction plan does a lot of “compacting.” Said Schottlaender: “It would close several libraries and accumulate their functions and collections.” UCSD spokeswoman Delores Davies said the library buildings that would be closed include libraries at UCSD Medical Center, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the Center for Library and Instructional Computing Services. The SIO Library is the only science-focused library facing closure, she added.

Davies noted the Science & Engineering Library, in the Geisel Library building — which houses four libraries — would be consolidated in the Biomedical Library. Director Peter Brueggeman talked about the impact of the Scripps Institution library’s closure on the campus community. “The Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library collection is the largest collection in the world focused on marine science (based on collection size, journals available, budget, etc.),” he said. “Our users both on and off campus have told us that they value timely access to our collec- Photo of Geisel Library tion to support their research.” He said users will have to wait longer for “books and journal back runs that aren’t available online, as well as to current runs of overseas journals in marine sciences that are not available online.” In addition, access to the collection at the Geisel Library or through delivery requests from an off-campus storage facility would not be as timely as it is currently at SIO. “Items will take longer for campus users to obtain, which may impact the quality of research and education,” he said adding the space also will be lost as a study and communal space for students. A petition in opposition to the proposed SIO library closure, signed by more than 700 members of the SIO and UC communities, as well as by scientists from organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has been submitted to the university. Schottlaender said, due to the richness of the collection,

that the Scripps Library has long been a “net lender” for interlibrary loans, meaning that more books and publications come out of the Scripps Library collection than Scripps researchers request from other libraries for their own research and education needs. “Interlibrary loan from the Scripps Library collection is centralized, and would continue after closure,” Schottlaender. “However, it is possible that the UCSD Libraries will need to restrict lending or charge fees for loans outside the UC libraries because of budget cuts.” Schottlaender has presented his budget-cutting plan to all campus deans, Academic Affairs’ Department Chairs, the college provosts, the Academic Senate leadership and the presidents of the Associated and the Graduate Student Association as well as Libraries staff to “pave the way” for serious discussions needed to “downsize and rethink what we do and how we do it.” Where the plan goes from here is temporarily on hold. “We’re all waiting for the May revise on the state budget” as well as for what action the Legislature takes if any, Schottlaender said. “The library head is working with university stakeholder groups to “gather what their concerns are should these closures come to pass.”

Antimicrobial resistance: No action today, no cure tomorrow

Foster dog and puppies in need of loving homes Addie, a six-year old Labrador, was found blind and pregnant roaming the streets of Apple Valley. She was scheduled for euthanasia until Lab Rescuers of San Diego intervened. Solana Beach resident Sally Fleck volunteered to foster the dog in her home, where Addie gave birth to a healthy litter. She and her puppies (two in photos above) are now in search of permanent loving homes. Addie does well with other dogs, but not with cats because her blindness causes here to track their scents. Addie is also totally potty trained, listens to voice commands, and walks well on a leash. She is up to date on her all her shots, and will also be fixed before she is adopted. Addie has been working with Gillian Young of the Wonder Dog Institute, a trainer specializing in blind dogs who has agreed to give free training services to whomever adopts her. If you are interested in meeting Addie and her puppies, please email sally.fleck@gmail.com.

WE ARE BUYING IMMEDIATE CASH PAID

By Lynne Friedmann The use of antimicrobial drugs to treat infection and disease has, over the past 70 years, changed the course of medical and human history. Now, those discoveries and the generations of drugs that followed them are at risk, as high levels of drug resistance threaten their effectiveness, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) which calls upon governments, health professionals, industry and civil society, and patients worldwide to slow down and restrict the unnecessary use of antibiotics in order to tackle microbial resistance. “The world is on the brink of losing these miracle cures,â€? WHO Director-General Margaret Chan, M.D., said in a news release issued on World Health Day (April 7). “In the absence of urgent corrective and protective actions, the world is heading towards a post-antibiotic era, in which many common infections will no longer have a cure and, once again, kill unabated.â€? The warning is more sobering with the knowledge that less than 5 percent of products currently in the research and development pipeline are antibiotic drugs. “Antibacterial drug discovery is the most difficulty area of discovery,â€? Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., president and CEO of the biotech company Trius Therapeutics, said during a recent press conference.“You don’t see a lot of large pharmaceutical companies taking these risks.â€? Daniel Burgess, president and CEO of Mpex Pharmaceuticals, who was also on hand, said, “We don’t have hundreds of thousands of people dying of infection today,â€? said “The concern is the panic is going to be there in five to seven years ‌ and, are we going to have effective treatments.â€? In general, there are three ways to convey antimicrobial resistance (AMR): •Develop a new class of drug that disease agents have never encountered (great in theory but in reality hard to accomplish); • Overwhelm bacteria with high levels of antibiotics at the site of infection and • Make existing therapies potent again (a cocktail approach that combines two or more drugs)

Mpex is in the final stage of clinical testing of a proprietary inhalable formulation of levofloxacin (a therapy currently taken orally) for the treatment of microbial infections in patients with cystic fibrosis who are prone to chronic respiratory infections. Trius Therapeutics is in the final stage of clinical development of a next-generation antibiotic for intravenous and oral treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections, and for the treatment of gram-positive infections including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Both Burgess and Stein’s remarks came during a presentation highlighting San Diego research efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance. Coinciding with World Health Day, the panel was held at the Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute, and included opening remarks by Joe Panetta, president of CEO of BIOCOM. Also presenting was Andrei Osterman, Ph.D., associate professor of bioinformatics and systems biology at Sanford Burnham. Osterman’s research focuses on discovering the molecular mechanisms of disease, the starting point for understanding what contributes to bacterial resistance. Osterman and his colleagues are looking for molecular weaknesses that can be exploited to attack resistant bacteria. When it comes to AMR, “we are scared, but not scared enough,� he said. “But, we are at a moment when we can do a lot.� Action to address AMR is taking place both in the laboratory and on the legislative front. Currently working its way through Congress is H.R. 6331 – The GAIN Act (Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now) — which seeks to stimulate antibiotic development and related diagnostics by extending the exclusivity period for new qualified infectious disease products, gives priority regulatory review to applications for these kinds of products, and requires ongoing review of FDA guidelines for conducting clinical trials for antibiotics. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer.

Letters to the Editor

Water rate increase: Only 4 percent appears to be cost of imported water When it comes to our Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) water bills, where is our recent 12 percent ratepayer increase really going? This is the time of year the Santa Fe Water District plans its budget for the next Fiscal Year beginning July 1. A board meeting on the subject is scheduled for April

25. Since there is little opportunity in these meetings to discuss our views from the perspective of the ratepayer, we have decided to do it here. After three years of rate increases totaling 47 percent, water usage in FY 2010 dropped 15 percent from the prior year. No surprise.

Despite that information being available, SFID budgeted a 10 percent increase in water usage, and a 30 percent increase in water cost per acre foot for the fiscal year 2011. Based on this information, the board of directors in turn voted a rate increase of up to 40 percent over the next three years. The first six months of FY 2011 show how far off course this budgeting has been, as water usage did not increase, but rather decreased another 15 percent, and water cost actually went down 4 percent. SFID has publicly placed most of the cause for rate increases on the cost of water purchased from the County Water Authority, and has tended to closely match those increases. For example, this January the Water Authority increased 12.2 percent and SFID increased by 12 percent. What is not clearly understood is that it appears purchased water comprises 34 percent of the costs of SFID, so a 12 percent increase in the cost of purchased water should be covered by a 4 percent increase to the SFID ratepayers. Furthermore, SFID benefits from Lake Hodges water which historically comprises 35 percent of the mix. This water is almost free, but does cost more to process so the net cost saving relative to the County Authority water is about 50 percent. The thing to note is that as water usage declines in the district, the proportion of cheaper Lake Hodges water in the mix increases. Since the supply of Lake Hodges water is currently bountiful, the usage next year should exceed 50 percent of the mix. These factors should greatly mitigate the expected Water Authority increase of 11 percent next January, and the SFID board should recognize this and act accordingly. What also needs to be addressed in the budgeting process is the decline in revenue for the district resulting from the decline in usage of water. In the private sector a business must take steps to downsize when revenue declines, and that is what SFID must do. We are

not suggesting cutting the capability of delivering quality water, but to initiate a zero based budgeting process, rather than simply projecting off current expenditure levels. There are presently five unfilled positions, and each should be looked at carefully to see if duties can be consolidated, or if tasks can be outsourced, or eliminated. For example, one of these positions involves water conservation, and the whole function can be eliminated in the next budget cycle at a savings of $250,000, as the rate increases have done the conservation job very effectively. Furthermore, until State laws are changed, headcount reduction is the most effective way to deal with the unsustainable costs of the retiree health and pension plans. Administrative costs run at a very high level and constitute 20 percent of the SFID total costs. Significant savings could be achieved if tasks such as billing, human resources, accounting, and information technology were consolidated for several small water districts instead of having each one staff these functions separately. The SFID board needs to press management to pursue cost reduction activities such as this. With a more frugal management approach, it appears that even the resulting 4 percent increase in the net cost of imported water could be offset by expense reductions. To voice your opinion, please come to the April 25 SFID Budgeting Workshop at 8:30 a.m. at the SFID Board Room, 5920 Linea Del Cielo, Rancho Santa Fe. Or write a letter to the SFID General Manager, Mike Bardin at PO Box 409, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067. More information is available at their website, www.sfidwater.org.

Address local travel needs, safety before anymore talk about freeway widening Comments about the I-5 freeway expansion and recent proposed legislation. First , Caltrans has been promising the plans for the I-5 expansion for years – at least a dozen or more years and they are still in process. Caltrans also has promised that there would be no taking of private property in Solana Beach, which no one at Caltrans now claims to remember. Fortunately, there are elected officials that kept asking that there be “NO TAKING OF PRIVATE PROPERY” and those officials remember the promise made by Caltrans representatives. The plans that are currently being reviewed appear to take more than the existing right of way and do require the taking of private property in many areas from Solana Beach through Oceanside. What is really needed before any freeway widening occurs is the reconstruction of each of the freeway on/off ramp that go under or over the I-5 freeway from Manchester in Encinitas north to Camp Pendleton. Without improved freeway interchanges, the local surface traffic in each community will continue be a congestion nightmare while we wait to see if the freeway widening ever really happens. The example of what should be done NOW is the Lomas Santa Fe/I-5 interchange. It was built recently and planned for over a dozen years ago to ease local traffic congestion and accommodate freeway widening as needed. Just look at the difference at other freeway interchanges north of the Solana Beach and you will see why the 50-plus-year-old arterial local street interchanges are in dire need of replacement. The interchange improvements all should be completed FIRST so local traffic flows more efficiently and future freeway access will already be in place before the expansion plans are approved and the money needed to provide freeway construction is available. Yes, the transit options are needed and better alternative transportation is important. As gas prices rise everyone will be concerned about how to travel efficiently, economically and safely. Most of our present freeway interchanges are not providing safe pedestrian/bicycle travel and are inadequate for vehicular travel as well. Having cars crossing over opposing lanes of traffic on surface streets to get onto the freeway ramps wastes time, causes accidents and severe congestion in our communities. Caltrans should start NOW making improvements at the local interchanges and engineer them to accommodate any future freeway widening. Our local communities deserve to have these changes made and should be requesting their elected representatives to revise every old freeway interchange before there are more accidents. Pedestrians and bicycles that now have to share the local roadways with automobiles and trucks need to be safely separated behind concrete barriers. There needs to be attention to our own community’s local travel needs before we talk anymore about freeway widening. We also need to address the safety issues on our local streets NOW and provide more efficient access to and from the freeway interchanges. First things first or we’ll have gridlock everywhere.

LAWSUIT continued from page 2

attorney said.According to Garcia-Colson, officials failed to do their job because they failed to discipline three girls who admitted defacing Bagby’s car. ``Those girls admitted to misconduct,’’ the plaintiff’s attorney said. The girls told school administrators that they defaced Bagby’s car only after she wrote on their cars, but no one asked Bagby for her side of the story because she was the ``bad girl from Ecuador,’’ according to Garcia-Colson. Administrators concluded that Bagby, who was also a member of the cheer team, was a ``bad child’’ and ``they needed to get rid of her,’’ the attorney said. ``She wasn’t given any due process,’’ Garcia-Colson said. ``She was just convicted.’’ All teachers who testified during the trial said Bagby was a good student, her attorney told the jury. Garcia-Colson urged the jury not to let La Jolla Country Day treat students the way they did her client. ``They retaliated against her because she complained,’’ Garcia-Colson said. ``Hold them accountable.’’ The lawsuit names La Jolla Country Day head of school Christopher Schuck, high school Principal Roderick Jemison and the school as defendants. Jury deliberations were under way in the courtroom of Judge Frederic Link at presstime for this newspaper.

(L-R) Sandy Brue with Delaney How; James Russeth; Trevor Parrette

Local artist Sandy Brue visits Village Church Nursery School Local artist Sandy Brue is not only the founder of Sandicasts, but she is also Trevor Parrette’s Nana. Sandy visited Trevor’s classroom of 4 and 5 year olds at the Village Nursery School and spent the morning talking to them about how she began sculpting animals. She also taught the children some techniques to use when working with clay. Sandy then worked with each child in a small group and helped them create their own animals using their fingers and clay tools. The children were very engaged and amazed at what they could create. Sandy brought along some of her animal creations to show the children. It was a very exciting morning at school.

cemetery support efforts. “I find it very difficult to say no to veterans causes,” he said. “I’ve served on several veterans boards ... and am honored to have the opportunity to serve veterans and my nation. I feel very blessed.” The 66-year-old 1967 U.S. Naval Academy graduate served in Vietnam, earned a law degree and assigned to the Navy’s Judge Advocate General Corps. He was assigned several times to San Diego in the 1970s and 1980s, which included living in Rancho Penasquitos, Escondido and Rancho Santa Fe, he said. In addition to his wartime service in Vietnam, Principi’s two sons served in Iraq. According to the foundation’s website, Miramar cemetery enhancements it plans to support include building an amphitheater; lakes; memorials honoring prisoners of war, Medal of Honor recipients, Iwo Jima, Jewish, Korean and Vietnam War veterans; and a chapel. Members will also assisting with Honor Guard, Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies. Plans are for the Mira-

mar cemetery to be built in six phases that when complete in about 60 years will have burial space for about 161,000. Phases will occur as needed, Principi said. The first phase includes 11,500 conventional gravesites, 4,500 in-ground cremation sites, 10,000 columbarium niches, an administration building, maintenance complex, two committal service shelters and public assembly area. Last November, the first cremated remain burials for four veterans occurred, and on April 14, John Smith, who had been an Army medic with the 1st Air Cavalry during the Vietnam War, was the first person to be buried in a casket. One of the founders of ”Stand Down,’’ an annual event that provides services to homeless veterans, he died of heart failure Jan. 30 at his Spring Valley home. He also helped launch the organization now known as Veterans Village of San Diego Smith’s burial was attended by about 200 friends and family members, including his widow, said Kirk Leopold, the cemetery director. Principi said it took decades for a new national cemetery to open in San Di-

The first in-ground burial at the new Miramar National Cemetery was held for John Smith on April 14. ego County because Veterans Affairs guidelines factor in veteran population size and proximity between national cemeteries when authorizing new cemeteries.

FAIRGROUNDS continued from page 1 Carl Hilliard, San Diego County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, Senator Christine Kehoe’s policy director Deanna Spehn, San Diego City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner representative Stephen Heverly, and Carmel Valley planning board

member Anne Harvey. City staff from Solana Beach and Del Mar also publicly spoke about their concerns with the FEIR, as did spokespeople from the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the San Diego Sierra Club. Dozens of Solana Beach, Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe residents also attended the

meeting and addressed the 22nd DAA board, many of them sporting stickers that read “Save Our Fairgrounds from Over Development.” Speaker after speaker stated that the FEIR did not adequately address the project’s impacts on traffic, noise or pollution. Nearly every speaker also urged the board to extend the review period for the FEIR. The public had 10 days to review the more than 1,000-page FEIR, which is the legal minimum required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). That means the average person would have to read about 150 pages a day. “What’s the hurry,” asked Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner. “Yes, you did meet your legal requirement — but it seems you are intentionally excluding the public from participation.” Del Mar resident Bud Emerson echoed those thoughts, stating that residents felt duped by the lack of review time. “We feel victimized by what’s going on,” he told the board. “You need to adopt a good neighbor policy. What you’re doing is affecting the quality of our lives. We want you to win, but it’s got to be a collaborative process.” The 22nd DAA board later responded, pointing out that it had granted a 120-day review period for the first draft of the EIR, which is 75 days more than the CEQUA requirement. “A delay at this point would cause a whole new loop in the process and would not benefit us or the community,” said 22nd DAA board president Barry Nussbaum. The 22nd DAA will now file its FEIR with the county clerk’s office. As soon as that happens, there will be a 30-day period during which someone can challenge it by bringing legal action. The California Coastal Commission and other responsible state agencies, such as the California Fish and Game Department and the Race Track Leasing Commission, will still have to approve the plan. 22nd DAA board member and Del Mar resident Kim Fletcher ended the meeting saying he hopes that the community will see that many concessions and edits were made to the master plan based on resident input, mainly the removal of the hotel-condo. He added that he hopes this modified master plan will be a way to finally burry the hatchet. “Let’s all be happy and good neighbors,” he told the audience.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Isari Flower Studio and Event Design – for every occasion BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Mother’s Day is coming May 8 and Solana Beach’s Isari Flower Studio and Event Design has a bouquet of ideas on how to make the day special for the mom in your life. “For moms who have everything and you don’t know what to get them, get them exquisite flowers,� hints Isari Flower Studio owner Tam Ashworth. Isari is celebrating Mother’s Day with a menu of flower arrangements that celebrates “women through the arts,� ranging in price from $75 and up. The “Mother and Daughter� arrangement features perfumed lilacs, sweet peas, tulips, spray roses and other blooms, paired with a box of Belgian chocolates. The sophisticated “Baroness� comes in a white bowl filled with coral peonies, “magnificent� roses in apricot, peach and soft pale lilacs, and rich green garden foliage accents. Isari has also partnered with neighboring Trios Gallery for a Mother’s Day special—purchase a unique blown glass vase from Trios and Isari will create a spring bouquet to pair with it. Ashworth has been working with flowers since 1989. After coming to America by way of Thailand and England, Ashworth got her start working in a floral shop in Los Angeles. She later went out on her own, making a name for herself and eventually becoming the flower studio for the Four Seasons in Carlsbad. When the resort switched over to residential rentals, she found the space for the studio on scenic Cedros. “We love being here,� said Ashworth. In addition to flowers at Isari (which is Ashworth’s full Thai name and pronounced Is-ah-ree), everything in the retail section of the store is for sale—tables, books, vases, candles and artwork. The place transforms into a studio for photo shoots regularly—this week it was the site of an “urban, cool, Manhat-

to simple beach weddings. Her florals range from romantic and sweet to tropical or “glam chic.� When she does have time, Ashworth loves understanding the full picture and intent of the wedding, styling every element and every last bit of floral frill for the couple’s special day. After Mother’s Day, Isari will launch right into the prom season with their beautifully innovative line of corsages and boutonnieres. “Our corsages are so unique it’s ridiculous,� Ashworth said. Ashworth encourages teens to check out the flowers online and shoot her an e-mail with a photo of the dress the girl will wear. Ashworth will then work her magic and “snazz it up a little bit.� “We will make something really fun and different,� Ashworth said. To learn more, visit isariflowerstudio.com or call (858) 345-1701. The studio is located at 414 North Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach.

See gorgeous gardens in RSF on ‘Rambling through the Ranch’ tour

What makes Rancho Santa Fe feel so magical? Is it the tree-lined roads, with native colors alternating their bloom every month of the year? Just inside the gates of some of its estates lies more magic. Is it the diversity of exotic fruit orchards or the rugged prehistoric elegance of the perfect succulent garden? Magnificent “collected� gardens of Mediterranean influence live across majestic canyons from an adobe complemented by California drought-tolerant native plantings. Amazing topography, gentle breezes cooling off the warm year-round sun — all this and more is Rancho Santa Fe. What better way to experience Rancho Santa Fe’s magic than at this year’s “Rambling through the Ranch� – gardens by trolley. In an open air trolley, go from estate to estate; the brief ride on the continuous loop trolley is an enjoyable way to experience the natural botanical color of Rancho Santa Fe. At your leisure, stroll the expansive gardens of some of the county’s best estate homes. Six diverse and colorful estate gardens comprise this year’s selection. Docents, live music and descriptive guidebooks will pique your interest in specific local plant species and engage your own inner horticulturalist. Coming back to your base at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, stroll through an open air market, have lunch, perhaps a glass of wine. Set for Saturday, May 7, from 10 a.m. and closing at 4 p.m., the tour will start and stop at the Garden Club clubhouse, which is situated near the center of the Rancho Santa Fe village. Tickets are $30 presale, $40 the day of the tour. Tickets are limited. Please go to www.ranchosantafegardentour.com for more information.

Theaters join to present one-woman show about health care

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor There’s nobody quite like Anna Deveare Smith, an award-winning actress/playwright who creates unforgettable performances by channeling the essence of real people caught up in contemporary crises. Alone onstage, she gives vibrant, theatrical substance to multiple points of view. “Documentary theater” is a cold way of describing the experience she shares with her audience. As Bill Moyers, who interviewed her on his television Journal, said: “She turns a houseful of strangers into an intimate community.” As Smith herself said, she’s in search of the “spooky truth.” Her latest project, “Let Me Down Easy,” deals with the current health care conundrum, and presents 20 characters chosen from some 300 people she interviewed during an 8-year period, including doctors and patients, athletes and actors, and a broad range of winners and losers in the game of Life and Death. The show’s origins go back to 2000, when Smith

Acclaimed actress/playwright Anna Deavere Smith plays 20 characters in the Second Stage production of ‘Let Me Down Easy,’ co-produced by La Jolla Playhouse and San Diego RePertory Theatre, in association with Vantage Theatre.

If you go What: “Let Me Down Easy,” one-woman show conceived, written and performed by Anna Deavere Smith When: Matinees, evenings; April 27-May 15 Where: Lyceum Stage, San Diego REPertory Theatre Horton Plaza Tickets: From $39 Box Office: (619) 544-1000 Website: SDREP.org Related events: Pre- and post-show discussions with community leaders about health care issues. See website for details.

was invited to the Yale School of Medicine to create a performance about how patients and doctors communicate. Smith’s stint as a visiting professor made her realize how much more could be revealed of the ways we take of ourselves and each other. This is not just a show about health care. It’s a fascinating look at particular bodies and spirits, and like all of Smith’s plays, it’s about the importance of paying attention to what people say. “Let Me Down Easy” comes to us thanks to a grand collaboration of theaters: locally, San Diego REP, La Jolla Playhouse, and Vantage Theatre, and further away, Second Stage in New York, where the current version of the show originated, and Arena Stage in Washington D.C., which launched this year’s national tour. Vantage, the smallest of the theaters, started the local ball rolling. Artistic director Dori Salois (a longtime La Jolla resident who is active in the health care community) had known Smith way back when. “We were actors together, in a show off-off-Broad-

way, where we had to do speeches about our experiences in theater. Anna did an interview with a casting director that even then showed what a powerhouse she was. Later on, she said, ‘You should produce me!’ and I always thought, ‘Someday!’ ” When Salois saw “Let Me Down Easy” in New York, she knew the day had come. She went to Sam Woodhouse, artistic director of the REP, who could fit the show into his season, but not his budget. So he went to Christopher Ashley, artistic director of La Jolla Playhouse. Within a week, discussions were underway. Woodhouse said the collaboration has been complex, but rewarding. “This is an extremely provocative and important piece of American theater, and with a little help from our friends, we’re able to bring it here,” he said. “We’ve always been interested in partnerships, they are a smart, synergistic way to do business.” Chris Ashley agreed. “Every show we’re doing this season is in partnership with a different organization. We think it’s the key to

making San Diego an arts destination, and I jumped at the chance to work with Anna again.” Ashley had directed Smith in “Fires in the Mirror,” her 1992 piece about the explosion of racial tension in a Black and Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood that won him an award for Outstanding Direction, and the play an Obie award. “Let Me Down Easy” is Smith’s newest addition to her series of plays exploring the American character, which also includes “Twilight, Los Angeles, 1992” about the riots after the beating of Rodney King. She has written books and articles, she’s been featured in films like “The American President” and “The Human Stain,” and she’s had major television roles in “Nurse Jackie” and “The West Wing,” but it’s her work in theater that has won her the most acclaim, including a MacArthur “genius” grant. Like “Twilight” and “Fires in the Mirror,” “Let Me Down Easy” will eventually be aired on PBS-TV. But there’s nothing like seeing true genius, live and in person, onstage.

To Market, To Market, where the chic and savory menu changes each day BY KELLEY CARLSON very day offers a fresh experience at Market Restaurant, with its everchanging menu and locally bought ingredients. “Our commitment is to doing great food every day, 365 days a year,” said chef/owner Carl Schroeder. The restaurant acquires produce and seafood from farmers markets and fishermen daily, and from local sites such as Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe and Valdivia Farms in Carlsbad. And the menu never has a chance to become stale — Schroeder diversifies his offerings on a day-to-day basis. One constant is the restaurant’s signature dish, Cabernet Braised Prime Beef Shortribs, although some of the sides vary. Recently, the item was served with spring peas, Forest Mushroom Roast, asparagus and onion-potato purée. The beef shortribs are among Schroeder’s favorites, along with the soups, including Thai Carrot Soup and Local Asparagus Soup & Truffled Grilled Cheese. Additional entrees on the menu may feature items such as Prime Ribeye Cap Pavé & Potato Gnocchi, the Miso Glazed Double Jidori Chicken Breast and Farmers’ Market Vegetable Tasting.

The dining room includes earthy tones of sage and persimmon color on the walls and stylish, chocolate-color folio chairs.

Raw fish, to be prepared by sushi chef Syd Marshal, is on display.

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Click ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Market’s Point Reyes Blue Cheese Souffle and Satsuma Tangerines are S’mores, Apple Turnovers, Meyer Lemon-Rhubarb Crepes, ice cream, artisanal cheeses and more. Guests who want to try a little of everything can order from the tasting menu, where they can select one item in each of four categories, usually a starter, two entrees and a dessert. The cost is $68 per person, and is an additional $39 with wine pairings. About 70 people can be accommodated in the main dining room, which radiates warmth with earth-toned colors like persimmon and chocolate. The aptly named Red Room, which Schroeder recommends for its intimacy and better acoustics, can seat some 30 guests. The dining areas open at 5:30 p.m. daily, and Schroeder said it’s best

to have reservations most days. “We don’t aggressively seat; we space our seating,” he said. However, reservations are not necessary in the 40-seat sushi/bar area, which begins service at 5 p.m. There are a couple of TVs to entertain guests, who may sit on bar stools or at candle-lit tables, and there are dimly lit paintings on the wall. The full restaurant menu is available, along with sushi, sashimi, and rolls such as Red Dragon (eel, cucumber, avocado, layered spicy tuna and teriyaki) and the signature Market (tempura shrimp, spicy tuna, jalapeño, yellowtail and chili aioli). And there are plenty of drink options for restaurant customers, from wine and beer, to sake, bourbon, brandy and specialty drinks, such as the Strawberry-Basil Lemon Drop and Cucumber Gimlet. For the best Market experience, Schroeder recommends pairing wine with food. “By talking to the servers and the sommelier (Brian Donegan), there are a lot of different resources,” he said. Eventually, Schroeder plans to hold two to three wine dinners each year. The first one will be “a trip through Italy,” featuring regional Italian dishes with Market’s flair. The date is yet to be announced.

‘Art Meets Fashion’ a splashy pairing BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor The big buzz in the arts world this season is the Cword: Collaboration. Propelled by a nervous economy, organizations are joining together to present events they never could manage alone, and the resulting mix of energies and talents has turned a tough situation into a gift to us all. Art Meets Fashion is one of the splashiest of these collaborations, with events scheduled from now to September, including a VIP fashion show at the international airport, exhibitions at venues in North Park and downtown, and a catwalk launch at NTC Promenade, where the public will have a chance to strut its own stuff. The entire schedule can be perused online at www.artmeetsfashion.org. The Idea: To set up teams of artists and designers, have them come up with a theme for a project, and see what magic they can create together. Each team includes a visual artist, a fashion designer, a photographer or videographer to document the process, and a teacher to create a lesson plan from it. The Objective: To initiate productive collaborations, spotlight the wealth of talent in San Diego, and inspire young people to get involved in the arts. According to Patricia Frischer, co-founder of AMF and coordinator of San Diego Visual Arts Network (SDVAN), a comprehensive guide to visual artists and art events, “We really want to share the sparks that fly when you put artists and designers and documentarians and teachers together. We also want to encourage local artists to believe they

can have successful careers right here in San Diego, without having to leave for Los Angeles or New York.” How did AMF get its start? “The airport has a terrific arts program, and Constance White, the program manager, is tremendously stylish,” said Frischer. “Several years ago, when we met, I commented on her clothes, and she said, ‘If you ever want to do something at the airport, let me know.’ ” Frischer is no stranger to ambitious arts projects. In the summer of 2009, she staged an event called “Little & Large,” which invited local sculptors to make jewelry and jewelers to make sculpture, and involved displays at 43 galleries plus a meet-the-art-stars launch at

downtown’s Hotel Sé, with a catwalk over the swimming pool. “The response was wonderful!” Frischer said. “And that made us think: There’s really a need for this!” At the launch, Frischer met fashionista Felena Hanson, head of FOCUS (Fashion Opportunities Connect Us), a networking group for emerging professional de-

signers. Hanson said she’d always wanted to do a project with a catwalk, she loved bringing people together, and she already had the domain name “Art Meets Fashion.” So the first AMF team was born. From their initial public meeting in February 2010, when over 100 interested participants showed up, Frischer and Hanson knew they were on the right track. Now, after many months of planning, their numbers are impressive: 44 team members, 15 host venues, and more than 50 volunteers. “It’s a great opportunity for everyone,” Hanson said. “Most artists and designers work in solitude. We’re giving them a chance to crosspollinate and brainstorm and inspire each other. We’re providing exposure to new audiences, and documentation that will allow us to peek behind the scenes of the creative process. And with the educators, we’re creating opportunities for the next generation.” If AMF’s online catalog is any indication, this is one grand collaboration you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re an artist or a fashionista at heart, come check out the local talent and party with the art-and-fashion stars.

Five North County gardens highlight RSF Library welcomes new board, holds Spring Fashion Show, and more AAUW’s annual garden tour The RSF Library Guild has started its new year, with our Annual Meeting held on April 5. For those of you who missed it, we had a wonderful, very informative talk on silver, by our local guru and guest speaker Connie McNally, of the McNally Company Antiques. There was also the “show and tell” with pieces our patrons brought in, and I think we all left very inspired to take out our special silver. Why wait for the holiday season to use? Besides, as Connie said, this is the way to be “green”…appreciate and reuse what has been handed down for generations, whether you have been lucky enough to inherit or have purchased. The new board of directors were introduced: President – Mary Liu Buildings and Grounds – Harry Bord Asst. Buildings and Grounds – Don Laufer Book Cellar – Janie Scallon Youth Services – Marianne Witmeyer Membership – Susan Appleby Publicity – Nora Kaiser Special Events – Beth Nelson Treasurer – Jere Oren Secretary – Margaret Cavallin Member at large – Art Yayanos Our next special event will be the Spring Fashion Show held at the Garden Club on April 27, at 11 a.m. It promises to be a elegantly festive, cheerful, and colorful affair. Our fashions will be brought to you by Cabana of Los Angeles, presenting the latest Lilly Pulitzer designs. For the more formal look, we will present designs by Lourdes Chavez, whose exquisite fabrics and feminine line need to be seen and touched to be fully appreciated. There will be bou-

tique tables making it a full visual and tangible experience. Tickets are still available, although from what I heard in the Guild Office, they are going quickly…so don’t wait too long! On May 5-7, the Book Cellar will be holding its Spring Half Price Sale from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. What better time to stock up for summer reading, and incentive to clean out your shelves to make more room for some new books. We are receiving so many donations and many of the books seem almost brand new! As I have been mentioning often in this column, the county library has been facing increasing budget cuts. There will be a couple of very lean years ahead, in which the Library Guild will be lending a helping hand, for programs, book and supply purchases, etc. So please, show your support by becoming a Guild member, so that the RSF Library can continue serving the community with quality! In the meantime, see you at the Fashion Show and the Book Cellar Half Price! Signing out after a memorable five years…Vivien U

On Saturday, May 7, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of AAUW will host its 15th annual garden tour, Through Garden Gates. It will feature five fabulous North County gardens of various sizes and styles. A magnificent 3-acre property in Rancho Santa Fe includes a beautiful large water lilyfilled pond fed by a cascading waterfall, over 150 roses spread throughout the gardens, and striking garden sculptures strategically placed among a wide variety of trees, perennials and blooming shrubs. At their home in Carlsbad, the owners of the Proven Winners line of garden plants have created a virtual demonstration garden filled with lively color and mainly low-wateruse plants, including multi-textured succulents and blooming perennials; plants from the Proven Winners line will be available for purchase in this lovely garden on the day of the tour. As a native Californian, gardener and surfer Laird Plumleigh draws on natural forms from his garden or the nearby Pacific Ocean for his popular ceramics and tiles: beach stones, kelp, shells, sea life, cacti and succulents. His 1-acre garden in Leucadia reflects his interest in both palms and succulents, blending a wide variety of plants with ceramics, garden sculpture, mosaics and Craftsman architecture. His studio will be open during the tour and tiles and succulents will be for sale. Two gardens in Cardiff serve as excellent examples of the artful transformation of typical small Southern California yards dominated by lawn and shrubs into attractive waterwise landscapes filled with interesting succulents, grasses and native and Mediterranean perennials and trees. One garden features interesting metal birdhouses and gates made by

Tour tickets cost $25 in advance, $30 the day of the event. Hosted by American Association of University Women, Del Mar-Leucadia. Sales of tickets, plants and delightful garden art and tiles will benefit Tech Trek math and science camp for girls at UC San Diego and other women’s education programs.

Your Family Matters: ADHD or not? BY DR. KEITH KANNER One of the basic roles of any parent is to be a detective when it comes to figuring out what is causing a problem for one of their children. Most parents have good intuition and atDr. Keith Kanner tempt to remedy situations or conditions to enhance the wellbeing of their children before reaching out for help and this is a good thing. One such area where parents are always trying to help their children is in school and all parents are

familiar with academic ups and downs depending upon a number of factors such as: the particular subject; how well their child likes the teacher; whether or not the child has friends in his or her class; and the amount of homework, just to name a few. Taken together, there are many feelings attached to schoolwork, which can help to explain why a child might excel or fail. Once a child is having academic problems, the key is to figure out “why.� Here, the parent is faced with one of two possibilities: 1) an actual learning or academic issue; or 2) an emotional reaction to the work or how the work makes the child feel inside. Or, commonly, a combination of the two. Interestingly, both of these explanations cause the same symptoms, but the reason “why� the child is struggling will warrant

take quite a bit of time and is only typically suggested if the child is failing. This then leaves the child who may not be failing but is struggling without a needed assessment to help determine why there is a problem. This is where a learning center, such as Sylvan, which is considered the best, can both assess and then formulate a plan to help a child succeed in school. In such an evaluation, Sylvan will further make a recommendation for a psychological evaluation if their professionals detect that the cause may be more than mildly academic or emotionally driven. In many cases, however, once an assessment has been made and an academic and study plan implemented, the child improves both emotionally and academically. Key Points: 1. Academic problems can be either emotionally or learning driven. 2. Parents need to find the “real� underlying cause before implementing change. 3. Remediation needs to be based on a full assessment by professionals. 4. An inaccurate diagnosis leads to continued struggling and often endless medication trials.

On the other hand, if the child does indeed have some sort of learning or academic problem, then remediation may be necessary, such as a tutor or an educational therapist. Once the reason has been identified and addressed, most children feel better about themselves and their capabilities, which then translates into better grades and a better liking of school. However, misdiagnosis in this area is common and can have long-term negative consequences. For example, often times when a child is having a difficult time completing tasks or concentrating, they are quickly diagnosed as ADHD and placed on some sort of medication. Once again, diagnoses, such as ADHD, are based on a list of symptoms that could be caused by all sorts of conditions, which might be neurological, but could also be caused by anxiety, low selfesteem, and even childhood depression. One can then see that if the cause has not be properly identified, then the condition may not be properly treated and then the child does not improve as much as they could with appropriate treatment or remediation. Once a parent has exhausted his or her intuitive methods to help their children, then seeking professional assistance is a very good idea. Although most school districts will schedule a meeting to discuss and potentially evaluate a child once he or she has been identified as a “risk,� this process may

To Your Health: Prevent prescription drug dangers BY HARMINDER SIKAND, clinical director of pharmacy with Scripps Health When was the last time you cleaned out your medicine cabinet? If you can’t remember, chances are you have expired or unused prescription medications on hand – and that can be dangerous if you have children or other adults in the home who may have access to these drugs. While prescription medications can be invaluable in treating and preventing illness, they must be used with care. The use of these drugs in a way that is not intended by the prescribing physician is a growing problem that takes various forms, such as obtaining drugs without a prescription, using someone else’s prescription, or obtaining multiple prescriptions for the same drug from several physicians. Prescription drug abuse prevention starts with ensuring medications don’t get into the wrong hands. Avoid transferring drugs into containers labeled for other medications – for example, don’t put prescription muscle relaxants in an old aspirin bottle. Someone may mistakenly take the prescription medication when they really just needed an over-the-counter pain reliever. Keep track of your prescriptions and the quantities you should have on hand, as well as the number of refills available. Make sure you are the only one authorized by your pharmacy to order and pick up refills. Store medications in a safe area inaccessible to others, and be sure that your “secret” hiding places are truly secret and not easily discovered with a bit of snooping. Better yet, keep them in a locked tackle-type box. Talk to your children about abuse of pills, just as you talk to them about the dangers of alcohol or other drug use. Never share medications with friends or family, even if they have the same symptoms. Many conditions have similar symptoms but require very different treatment. Only a physician can diagnose and prescribe medications. Moreover, sharing prescription medications is illegal and can result in fines or jail time. Even if they’re not abused, prescriptions can pose a risk if they are expired or damaged. All prescription drugs have an expiration date on the label; after that, they can break down and change, rendering them ineffective, harmful, or in some cases deadly. The commonly prescribed antibiotic tetracycline, for example, can cause a deadly skin infection if taken after it expires. Inventory medicines every six months and dis-

pose of medications that lack clearly marked expiration dates. Also dispose of any medications that are discolored, separated, crumbly, or powdery – even if they haven’t yet expired. However, don’t just toss old or unused medications – it is easy for children and pets to get to them before you take out the trash, and for other people to find them in Dumpsters or collection sites. Nor should medications be flushed down the toilet; they can affect the water supply and be ingested by the public, as well as harm natural aquatic habitats. Instead, remove drugs from their original containers, crush them, and then mix them with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds, cayenne pepper or kitty litter. This makes the medication less appealing to children and pets, and unrecognizable to people who may search through your trash. You can also take unwanted medications to your pharmacy for proper disposal, or to secure drop boxes at Sheriff’s Department sites. They will ensure medications are disposed of according to state and federal laws. On Saturday, April 30, Scripps will be collecting unwanted and expired medications as part of the countywide Prescription Take Back Day. You can drop off your medications between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at any of the following Scripps locations: •Scripps Coastal Medical Center Carlsbad 2176 Salk Ave., Carlsbad •Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo 15004 Innovation Drive, San Diego •Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas 354 Santa Fe Drive, Encinitas •Scripps Green Hospital 10666 N. Torrey Pines Rd., La Jolla •Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista 435 H Street, Chula Vista Can’t make it on April 30? The San Diego Sheriff’s Department offers 23 locations in the community where the public can drop off unused drugs for proper disposal anytime of year. Visit www.sdsheriff.net, the San Diego Sheriff’s Department website to find a location near you.

Week in Sports

The TPHS Boys Track team set school and San Diego CIF records at the 53rd Mt. SAC Relays last weekend. Above left: The boys 4 x 800M relay team (Kaushik Sahoo, Andrew Ward, Matt Carpowich and Trent Newquist) captured gold, running a U.S. #1 fastest time. Above right: The boys distance medley relay team (Andrew Ward, Alex Jiang, Matt Carpowich and Trent Newquist) won silver, while running the fastest time in CIF San Diego Section history, and a U.S. #2 fastest time for 2011.

Torrey Pines Boys track team has record-setting weekend Members of the Torrey Pines High School Track Team competed against top teams from California and other states at the 53rd Mt. San Antonio College Relays held on April 15 and 16 in Walnut, Calif. On Friday night, Torrey Pines boys won the 4 x 800M relay with a time of 7:48.39, a school record and a U.S. #1 high school time for 2011. The 4 x 800 team included Trent Newquist, Kaushik Sahoo, Andrew Ward and Matt Carpowich. Each of the four seniors posted sub 2-minute times, with Newquist, last season’s San Diego CIF 800M champion, leading off and posting a time of 1:56.50, and Carpowich anchoring with a time of 1:53.04. Carpowich took the baton in second place, some 75 meters behind a Corona Centennial runner, and made up the distance over two laps, pulling away for the lead about 100M from the finish line. On Saturday night, the Torrey Pines boys distance medley relay (DMR) team battled Los Angeles Loyola and 14 oth-

er schools, with Loyola edging Torrey Pines for a U.S. #1 time of 10:02.23, breaking the meet record set by Eisenhower back in 1979. Torrey Pines took the silver medal with a U.S. #2 time of 10:03.80, clocked as the fastest time in San Diego CIF Section history, and No. 9 all time in state history. The DMR team included seniors Ward (1200M), Alex Jiang (400M), Newquist (800M) and Carpowich (1600M). In this race, Carpowich took the baton from Newquist on the 1600M anchor leg with his team in third place. He slowly moved back into contention, battling defending 1600M state champion Elias Gedyon of Loyala in a back and forth race, with Gedyon pulling away for the team win at the end. The TPHS Boys Track & Field team, winners of the San Diego CIF championship the past two seasons, is led by head coach Mike Stevens, and distance coaches Danny Farmer and Brent Thorne.

(Above left) The TPHS men’s varsity lacross team; (Above right) Bennett Shafer is congratulated for a great score.

Torrey Pines Falcons one better in near perfect overtime Torrey Pines sophomore and Del Mar resident Bennett Shafer scored the game-winner with 20 seconds left in overtime to lift No 21 Torrey Pines to a 10-9 victory over sixthranked St. Ignatius Prep in a non-conference lacrosse game. St. Ignatius opened a 4-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, but Torrey Pines stormed back and led 5-4 at the half. A see-saw battled ensued as the teams traded goals throughout the second half before Torry Pines’ Zack Zien scored with 32 seconds left in regulation for a 9-8 lead. St. Ignatius then answered with four seconds remaining to force overtime. Sean Doyle had two goals and five assists for the Falcons, who improved to 9-3. St. Ignatius Prep had a ninegame winning streak snapped and falls to 13-4.

“It was pretty epic,” Torrey Pines coach Jon Zissi said. “We bounced back after a heartbreaking loss [to San Ramon Valley] on Wednesday and showed great resilience and pride after starting this game down 4-0. Our goal of the trip was to keep getting better and I think we were successful in doing that.” The Falcons completed their two game Northern California trip with a 1-1 record against the state’s toughest teams, San Ramon Valley loss (7-6 OT) and St. Ignatius Prep win (10-9 OT). Game recap: Doyle (2g 5a); Hurt (2g); Shafer (2g); Wilson (1g 1a); Black (1g); Perkins (1g); Zien (1g).

V’s blends barbershop experience with salon-quality services BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer When Del Mar resident Scott McDaniel was in grade school, he sported a haircut he dubbed “the Texas banker” because it was “neat, short, with sideburns and little dippitty-do.” As the son of a small-town Texan, it was fitting — but what stands out in his mind even more than that haircut is the time he spent with his father inside the barbershop. “Every Saturday we’d go down to the same shop and see the same guy,” he recalls. “It was a tradition Dad and I shared. It was our time.” Many years later McDaniel was on business in Phoenix when he happened upon a V’s Barbershop and “suddenly the rush of those childhood memories in the barbershop washed over me.” “I came back home and started looking for that same barbershop experience, but I couldn’t find it anywhere.” That fruitless search inspired him to start his own V’s Barbershop, which just opened in Del Mar last week. The national chain, which has 18 locations either open or in the works, was launched in 1999 by founder and CEO Jim Valenzuela. “I was going to my wife’s salon, where I’d pick up a ‘Cosmo’ to read because that’s all they had, and I’d pay 60 bucks for a haircut

even though I don’t have enough hair to charge that much,” Valenzuela said. Why, he wondered, was there not a place where men could get salon-quality services in a classic barbershop environment. Thus, the birth of V’s Barbershop, a place where men can get pampered without the frill. Most haircuts run about $25, and men can also get straightedge razor shaves done with hot lather, neck and scalp massages, mustache and beard trimming, and even mask treatments. “This may be the only place you can get a facial and still feel manly,” Valenzuela joked. The shop also features a small retail area with a handful of high-end hair and shaving products. “I opened this shop in Del Mar because I felt there was a real need for it,” McDaniel said. “This shop is a place where men can come get a quality haircut and shave in an environment where they feel comfortable. I also hope that his shop becomes a place where other men and their sons can come and start their own father-son tradition.” V’s Barbershop is located at 2683 Via de la Valle, suite H. V’s Del Mar business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit www.vbarbershop.com/ locations/del-mar or call (858) 481-4321.

RSF resident finds relief for snoring problem BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer For years, Rancho Santa Fe resident Michael Essrig tried to tame the roaring snores he let loose at night when he went to sleep. His noisy problem was not only affecting him but his restless wife, who sometimes was forced to sleep in another room. After years of trial and error, Essrig finally found a solution in the PureSleep device, an FDA-approved product that can silence snoring. “It’s great. It does exactly what it says it does,” Essrig said. “I have recommended it to several people who had similar problems and everyone says the same thing: My wife thanks you.” Essrig’s snoring didn’t start until his 40s. His snoring, in combination with sleep apnea, would wake him up several times in the night with his heart pounding. His waking up, moving and snoring disrupted not only his wife’s

The PureSleep device works to keep people from snoring. sleep, but left him in a terrible state the next morning. “I’d walk around like a zombie,” Essrig said. “I was completely exhausted and I couldn’t get any work done.” Essrig was able to find treatments for his sleep apnea, but his chronic snoring continued. He tried everything, wearing mouthpieces with headbands and

pieces that pushed his teeth so hard they loosened. One option was a CPAP machine, a mask worn over the face that blows air into the nostrils while keeping the mouth closed. “That was a nightmare,” Essrig recalled. His dentist was able to create a mouthpiece for him that worked decently

but it was extremely bulky, a top and bottom piece that was three times the size of the PureSleep device. “It looked like a boxer’s mouth guard,” Essrig said, describing how his lips would puff out around it. While uncomfortable, the solution worked for about three years, keeping him quiet and keeping his

wife happily snoozing. About three years ago, Essrig saw the ad for PureSleep and decided to try it out. “It worked immediately,” Essrig said. “It’s a much smaller piece and I didn’t think it would fit but it fit just perfect.” Most snoring is caused by a partial obstruction of the upper airway. When people fall asleep, the muscles in the throat relax and the throat becomes narrow. Air rushing through the narrowed opening causes the soft tissue in the upper airway to vibrate, creating a snore. PureSleep works through “mandibular repositioning”— the device holds the jaw forward to create an open airway through the throat easily, eliminating the vibration and the snoring. It is not intended to treat any other medical conditions like sleep apnea or TMJ. Essrig replaces his every six to nine months and

Michael Essrig said the piece is very inexpensive. Essrig orders his online—customers have to fill out an online prescription form to receive the device, another option is to have one prescribed by your dentist. “Snoring really is annoying to the person on the other side of the bed,” Essrig said. “Using PureSleep is really beneficial for both people.” Learn more at www. puresleep.com.

If you are selling a home or estate in Rancho Santa Fe, read this... Prime Real Estate in Rancho Santa Fe is a “Bargain� for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?

How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Rancho Santa Fe properties. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www.ranchosantafereview.com searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 51 countries in March, 2011 and generated 5,312 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily

What one person thinks “expensive�, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in Rancho Santa Fe can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. Rancho Santa Fe real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, Rancho Santa Fe real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.

Through simple but unusual movements that anyone can do, Feldenkrais helped people to learn how to find new habits of movement.

By sharing her vast base of community knowledge, she has earned a reputation for matching her clients with the perfect neighborhood, subdivision and lifestyle to fit their specific needs. A focus on continuous improvement has distinguished Sundstrom since her beginnings at Nordstrom and the Hilton Torrey Pines Resort, where she excelled as a result of her emphasis on service and talent for solving problems.
