Local school districts allocate millions in federal money differently BY MARSHA SUTTON Senior Education Writer At the first meeting, last December, of the Del Mar Union School District’s newly elected board of trustees, the school board unanimously approved the payment of about $440,000 to district employees from the $763,852 given to the district under the Federal Education Jobs Fund. The $440,000 was the total cost after $1,000 was given to each full-time employee in the district, including superintendent Jim Peabody, the three assistant superintendents and the district’s eight principals. The $1,000 allotment – described in the Dec. 15, 2010 school

board packet as a “one-time employee cash incentive” – was pro-rated for part-time employees. DMUSD assistant superintendent of human resource services Tim Asfazadour called it “a onetime stipend” and said it was “to offset the increased cost of health benefits.” Asfazadour said the district employs about 300 fulltime and 300 part-time people, 21 of whom work at the district office rather than a school site. Because one condition of the Federal Education Jobs Fund is that the money can only be spent on school site personnel, the 21

New church planned for El Camino Real area ■ Healthy enhancements to long-running DM Farmers’ Market Page B3

BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board reviewed a new Armenian church planned for El Camino Real at its June 23 meeting. St. John Garabed Armenian Apostolic Church is being proposed to be built on

El Camino Real, behind the Evangelical Formosan Church. Plans for the 113.37acre parcel include a 350seat church, a multi-purpose hall, a library and education building and a gym for youth recreation. The developers submitted plans to the

city last week and expect comments from city staff by late July. The planning board’s regional issues subcommittee will receive more details on the project in August or September. If approved by the city, they will also need a coastal development per-

mit from the California Coastal Commission. The project manager, Marcela Escobar-Eck, principal of the Atlantis Group, said she is very familiar with the challenges and environmental sensitivity of the San Dieguito River Valley. She said she takes great pride in

the area as she was involved in the preservation and worked with the city’s El Camino Real widening project on creating a safe, adequate wildlife under-crossing near the church site. “The biggest challenge

‘Atomic Groove’ was the ‘bomb!’ Del Mar concert series has begun By Jodi Kennedy, Del Mar Foundation Fly girls on stage and a rockin twilight concert on the beach: Now that’s the way to kick off summer! “Atomic Groove,” famous for its crowd-pleasing dance tunes and go-go booted backup dancers, wowed at the first in the series of Del Mar beach concerts this summer. For many locals, this annual Del Mar Foundation event marks the true start of the Del Mar summer. As resident Donna Shaw says, “It brings the community together: Where everyone of every age has fun!” For Sanuk’s Jeff Kelley, “It’s a chance to see good friends, listen to good music, Heidi Woodhead, Kristin Jones, Greg Young, Ken Michaelson, Jacqueline Alarie and share stories you can’t repeat!” With waves crashing in the background, over Atomic Groove plays. 2,500 grooved to the atomic beat, picnicked with their families and friends, and watched the sun go down, all for free, thanks to the support of June concert sponsors, Jake’s and Rusty Del Mar. Supporters also included Joe Harper and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, and Del Mar Head Lifeguard Pat Vergne and his community services. But it’s not all work for him. As Vergne puts it: “It’s a lotta fun with everyone having a good time. And the fly girls are hot!” The next concert on July 19 showcases the classic tunes of Rockola.

DM’s supplemental retirement program to cost $230K in first year BY MARSHA SUTTON Staff Writer Of the $763,000 in Federal Education Jobs Funds given to the Del Mar Union School District, about $230,000 will go to implement a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan. The SERP offers 75 percent of current salary to anyone over age 55 who has worked at least two years in the district. It was reported two weeks ago that 17 DMUSD employees applied for the SERP. Since then, two more employees also took the SERP – one teacher and Susan Paul, principal of Torrey Hills School, who announced her resignation and retirement the week of June 11.

MONEY continued from page A1 district office employees received their money, totaling about $21,000, from the general fund, he said. Cathy Birks, DMUSD assistant superintendent of business services, said that, in addition to the $440,000 distributed to employees, about $60,000 more was paid for fringe benefits such as unemployment, social security, workers’ compensation, Medicare, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS), and other labor costs. This brings the total cost for the cash incentive program to about $500,000, all of which was paid from the Federal Education Jobs Fund. The federal government

Although the resolution passed by the DMUSD school board at its Feb. 16, 2011 meeting states that one condition for eligibility for SERP is that a letter of resignation and the SERP enrollment package must be submitted by April 5, DMUSD assistant superintendent of human resource services Tim Asfazadour said the resolution included language authorizing the district’s assistant superintendent of human resources and the assistant superintendent of business to “execute any and all documents, including any amendment to the plan, necessary or proper to maintain a favorable determination of the plan.”

He said it was deemed a “favorable determination of the plan” to allow late SERP applications because “the more employees that participate in the SERP, the more savings to the district.” Asfazadour said the timeline was created by Torrancebased Keenan Financial Services, the district’s SERP contract administrator, and “was not created to limit participation.” It was originally established “for those who might have second thoughts and want to pull out.” The goal, he said, “was to insure that the plan penciled out to be cost-effective.” The total number of DMUSD employees taking advantage of the SERP is now

19, Asfazadour said – nine certificated teachers, eight classified employees and two principals. He said Keenan receives a commission amount based on a percentage of the total premium of 6 percent. The SERP pays out benefits over five years. Cathy Birks, DMUSD assistant superintendent of business services, said the SERP’s first year cost of $230,000 will be paid with money from the Jobs Fund. After that, “we’ll be paying Years 2 through 5 from the savings that we’re getting” from the lower salaries to replace the retired employees, she said. DMUSD superintendent Jim Peabody said the district will be saving about $320,000

after five full years. Asfazadour said the fiveyear SERP offer won’t be available again for at least another five years. “While you’re saving money, you are having to pay over that fiveyear period for that program, so it’s not cost-effective to do it that often,” he said. The board report for Feb. 16, 2011 when the SERP was approved states that Keenan’s proposal “is both advantageous to district employees and provides value for taxpayers. SERP is a program designed to create incentives that effectively increase and accelerate the retirement rate, in excess of the natural attrition rate.” Keenan’s analysis reports

that a minimum of five employees is needed to participate in SERP to be cost-neutral. To be cost-effective and realize savings, every employee past the first five who participate will create “a savings of approximately $43,354 over a period of five years.” Keenan anticipated that at least eight of the 34 eligible certificated employees would participate, at a savings of $137,295 over a five-year period. For classified employees, Keenan predicted that at least seven of the eligible 35 employees would participate, for a savings of $42,425 over five years. “With greater employee participation come greater savings,” the report reads.

allocated about $1.2 billion in Jobs Fund money to California school districts, the purpose of which, according to a fact sheet distributed by the California Department of Education, is “to save or create an estimated 16,500 kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12) jobs.” The federal money was given to all school districts in the nation, and U.S. Department of Education guidelines offer a number of options for spending the money, which is to be used “only for compensation and benefits and other expenses, such as support services necessary to retain existing employees, to recall or rehire former employees, and to hire new employees, in order to provide early childhood, elementary or secondary educational and related services.”

According to the Calif. Dept. of Education, “This includes salaries, performance bonuses, health insurance, retirement benefits, incentives for early retirement, pension fund contributions, tuition reimbursement, student loan repayment assistance, transportation subsidies, and reimbursement for child care expenses. Funds may be used to restore reductions in salaries and benefits or to implement increases. They may also be used to eliminate furlough days.” The funds may also be spent on employees other than teachers who provide support services at school sites. But the money cannot be used for “administrative expenditures related to the operation of the superintendent’s office,” board members, fiscal services or human resources. The money allocated to each district, which is based generally on enrollment figures, is intended to be used in the 2010-2011 school year, but unspent money can be carried over one more year as long as it is all obligated by September 30, 2012. Other local districts Other local school districts used their Jobs Fund money differently. The Jobs Fund allocation to the Solana Beach School District was $503,820, which was all used, said SBSD superintendent Leslie Fausset, “to retain seven temporary teaching positions in 2010-2011.” If not for the Jobs Fund money, Fausset said either the teachers would have been released or programs would have been cut. The same use was made of Jobs Fund money at the Rancho Santa Fe School District, which has so far re-

ceived $119,668 of a total entitlement of $132,964. Denise Stevenson, RSFSD director of finance, said the money was used “to save some positions.” She said it is paying for 2.4 temporary teachers whose jobs would have been in jeopardy had the money not been available. Without the funding, she said teachers would have been released, programs would have been eliminated, or class sizes increased. “The money received from the Federal Jobs Fund enabled our district to retain teachers that would have been reduced due to the cuts imposed by the decrease in property taxes and the state’s compulsory Basic Aid fair-share contribution,” said RSFSD superintendent Lindy Delaney in an email. At the San Dieguito Union High School District, associate superintendent of business services Eric Dill said his district was allocated $2,413,491. “We’ve spent $1,800,174 so far – all on teachers’ salaries and associated benefits,” he said. He emphasized that this was not a salary increase or a bonus but was used “to offset the general fund’s general education classroom teacher expense.” The balance of $613,316 will carry over into 2011-2012 because it’s not yet been received, he explained, saying the money, when received, will be used again for the same purpose. Of the $1.8 million spent, $1.5 million went to teachers’ salaries and $300,000 paid for benefits that included CalSTRS, Medicare, unemployment and workers’ compensation. According to Dill, the $1.5 million in Jobs Funds substituted for $1.5 million that would have come from

the district’s general fund to pay for salaries, thereby freeing up $1.5 million in unrestricted general fund money and allowing the district to avoid further budget cuts. “That is what I mean by an offset,” Dill said in an email. “The total expense for certificated salaries didn’t go up or down.” Without the Jobs Fund, Dill said the district would have had to consider other options to reduce costs – “either eliminate/reduce programs, bring back fewer temporary teachers, raise class sizes, further reduce counselors, make more reductions in non-classroom areas like transportation, athletics, etc. The list of options we had goes on and on, but we didn’t have to go there because we had this funding.” Dill said the Jobs Fund money was used to maintain programs by offsetting the losses suffered to the general fund from years of reduced education funding by the state. “Since our goal has been to preserve programs, we see the use of the funds as job retention,” he said. Del Mar’s Job Funds distribution The Del Mar Union School District, which welcomed three new board members to its five-member board in December, has allocated about $500,000 of its $763,000 in Federal Education Jobs Funds to the employee cash incentive program, about $230,000 to implement a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan, and the rest to pay for retiree health benefits. The goal of the federal Jobs Fund was “to save the jobs of current employees,” Asfazadour said. “One of the options available was to offer a retirement incentive

which the board of trustees approved based on a recommendation from the superintendent.” The other option embraced by the district was to give employees the one-time cash incentive. When asked how it was decided by the district to use the Jobs Fund money for a cash incentive, Asfazadour said, “We look at all the revenue receive[d] and determine the best use of the funds. In this case, the decision was made to use onetime money for a one-time stipend.” He said the $1,000 per employee cash incentive saves employees’ jobs because “it keeps them from potentially leaving the district and looking for other jobs.” The December 2010 board report states that the $1,000 per employee cash incentive offer, costing a total of $500,000, was presented to the Del Mar California Teachers’ Association union in September 2010 during contract talks. According to the Dec. 15, 2010 board report, “Representatives of the DMCTA and the DMUSD reached agreement on a MOU [Memorandum of Understanding] during negotiations on September 23, 2010. The MOU was then overwhelmingly ratified by the DMCTA unit members.” The MOU was not brought forward earlier, Asfazadour said, because the DMCTA had to poll their constituents which took time. “The direction for use of the funds was made prior to the current board but was approved by them at the December 15, 2010 board meeting,” he said.

Community members brighten lives in Costa Rica through donations BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Rancho Santa Fe Youth Soccer has a couple of new soccer teams wearing the Attack green and white — in Costa Rica. The soccer league donated both “home and away” jerseys to outfit two very excited youth soccer teams at an impoverished Costa Rican school. The donations were part of Local resident Ginny Barnes’ project to bring athletic equipment to Costa Rican children—she delivered the uniforms three weeks ago with her family. “Part of the mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Attack is ‘through soccer have fun, build character and develop an appreciation for the rich spectrum of the world’s cultures,’” said Marilee Pacelli, director of operations for Rancho Santa Fe Youth Soc-

For forms will be put to good rainy days, they also gave

Barnes came up with the idea for the sporting goods donation after visiting the country a year before and seeing children playing with an old soccer ball without any skin left. As she collected items, Barnes was amazed by people’s generosity — such as Rancho Santa Fe Soccer’s willingness to pitch in and how a local sporting goods store offered a discount after finding out where the items were going. On the day they brought the donations to the school, the Barnes family was treated to a school tour and students performed a dance recital for them. Barnes gave the school an additional $200 and told them to use it for anything related to physical education and the school officials im-

By the time she returned a week later, the new backboards were already up — a feat that Barnes said might have taken six months and 20 meetings in America. “It was so amazing,”

said Barnes, recalling how one little boy couldn’t take his eyes off the new goalie gloves on his hands. “As a community, we’re so blessed and we really wanted to do something…It was a wonderful experience and I’m ready to do it again.”

Kartmob.com provides discounts while raising money for schools BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer Once upon a time, consumers had to clip coupons — but now, they’re just a click away. A wave of companies has now mushroomed after figuring out how to harness the power of the Internet in a new way: Customers can go online and browse exclusive daily deals for all sorts of local businesses, pre-purchase vouchers for the promotions they like, and then use the vouchers when they want.

Solana Beach resident Steven Jung has now discovered a way to take that concept of online group-savings one step further and use it for a greater good: He recently launched Kartmob.com, a website that allows people to score those discounts while helping to raise money for local public schools “The original concept was truly born out of idea of creating something that’d be able to help public schools,” Jung said. “I am a product of California public schools, but

with recent budget cuts, I wonder if the same will be true for my kids.” Jung — who has an infant daughter, and another daughter at Skyline Elementary — put his years of finance experience to work, and after crunching the numbers, realized that Kartmob.com could indeed help public schools by steadily funneling money to PTA

groups. Ten percent of the net proceeds that are generated after running Kartmob. com promotions are given to the participating school’s PTA group. The PTA group then distributes the money to the school how it sees fit. “Volunteer fundraising at public schools has about a two-year turnover because people move on when their kids get older, or they simply have other things on their plate. I realized this could be a regular stream of funding for PTA groups, something

they could occasionally promote and then sit back and let the checks roll in.” So far, several North County schools have signed on, though ultimately Jung would like to establish a foundation that helps schools all over the state and, perhaps one day, the nation. “I’d love to grow this concept, and stay committed to fundraising to help public education so we can help even more kids,” Jung said, adding that bolstering the local economy was another

nice built-in feature of this concept. “Kartmob is built on a socially responsible business model, and it feels really good to be a part of it. I’ve long held the belief that if you find something you’re good at, something that really gives back in some way, you’ll be happy. So far, that’s proven to be very true. And so far, people are excited about the concept. I think they can see that this is something that’s really special.” For more information, visit www.kartmob.com.

SDSU professor, ‘Most Influential Faculty Award’ winner, steps down as civil engineering chair after a record 18 years BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor “Whatever I do,” says Janusz Supernak, “I’m passionate about it. I don’t like to do things half way.” That includes being a civil engineer, college professor, singer, songwriter, church organist, and a U.S. nationally-ranked pingpong player. Supernak, 66, the Polish-born San Diego State University professor who recently stepped down as chair of the department of civil engineering after serving a record 18 years, was honored at SDSU’s 2011 commencement with the university’s “Most Influential Faculty Award.” During his tenure as chair (the longest in the college’s history), the multitalented Supernak was successful in creating two additions to the civil engineering program: environmental and construction engineering; and is credited with bringing in more than $4 million in external contracts to SDSU. He is the author of more than 100 papers and

research reports on intelligent transportation systems, traffic engineering, transportation economics and travel demand analysis; and he remains on the faculty as a professor, doing research and teaching courses in transportation engineering and engineering economy. He has lectured in 14 countries and at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, including Oxford, Kyoto University, Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, Nanyang University, Singapore, and at the BOKU University of Vienna. SDSU is the only university in San Diego offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in civil, environmental and construction engineering with close to 700 students. We interviewed Supernak at his local home where he lives with his Polishborn wife, Iga, a materials engineer and former model, who also shares his love of music and singing — he, a baritone, and she, a soprano. They met in Cracow

seven years ago through mutual friends and have been married almost six years. “Stepping down as chair position,” he said, “gives me more time for my music, my sports and, most importantly, for time with my wife.” Department chairs normally serve a three-year term with a possible twoyear extension. “I was asked to continue many times and it resulted in a record 18 years at the helm,” he said. “Since

we had a very successful accreditation visit in 2010 with all three of our engineering programs — civil, environmental and construction — receiving the maximum six-year accreditations, it was a perfect time for me to step down to give someone else to start preparations for the next accreditation visit in 2016. “Accreditation is a very demanding and time-consuming task for any chair, even with just one program, and we have three.” Supernak was born in

&MARTI GELLENS

Deblin, Poland, 60 miles south of the then war-ravaged Polish capital of Warsaw. “I sometime joke that I waited to be born until the war was over. The war ended in May, 1945, and I was born a month later on June 20, 1945.” His father had been station master at various railway stations in Poland before becoming an executive with a railroad consortium in Gdansk. While growing up, Supernak, with his parents, his older brother and younger sister, lived in company-provided apartments in railway stations. “With trains passing by all the time,” Supernak recalls, “it was always interesting. “My field is transportation engineering and maybe it’s something in my genes. My father was in the transportation area, my two grandparents were associated with Polish railways, and my brother also has a Ph.D. in transportation,” he said. As a youth, Supernak showed a talent for writing, music and architecture, but when his father died of can-

cer at age 40, the 13-yearold Supernak decided he should concentrate his efforts working toward a profession in which he could “earn some money.” He began tutoring fellow students in mathematics, switched from a liberal arts high school to a technical high school and subsequently was accepted at the Technical University of Warsaw, the premier engineering university in Poland, where he earned his undergraduate degree (1968), his master’s degree (1970) and his Ph.D. (1977) in civil engineering with an emphasis on transportation. While working as a researcher in environmental development at the staterun Transportation Department in Warsaw, he went to a conference England to present a paper. “The civil engineering chairman of SUNY (State University of New York at Buffalo) liked my paper on a mathematical modeling of how traffic is generated in cities and invited me to

Stanford student’s program helps high school students master SAT BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Local resident Keziah Sonder Plattner is coming home for the summer intent on helping local high school students learn to master the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test). The Stanford sophomore is working though the Revolution Ivy Insiders summer program to bring an intense three-week study session to Rancho Santa Fe. Her session will begin July 8 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10 a.m. at the Village Church. Keziah, a 2010 graduate of Santa Fe Christian School, scored in the 99th percentile on her SATs and ACTs, including a 34 on her ACT (American College Testing). “I remember going into it being really nervous,” said Keziah, 19, noting that the length of the test was especially intimidating. “I’m excited to tell students that it is beatable, it’s predictable and it’s not as scary as it seems.” Keziah had hoped to do some tutoring work this summer and found that Revolution Ivy offered the opportunity to teach others while also obtaining valuable business experience. As the manager of her own branch, Keziah had to scout a location (she called more than 50 places before the church

Keziah Sonder Plattner agreed to host her) and do all her own marketing and sales, as well as the actual instruction. Revolution Ivy is one of the most successful test prep programs in the country, founded by Harvard undergrads in 2003 with the belief that the best way for high school students to learn how to beat standardized monster tests was to learn from college students who already had. The Revolution Ivy Insiders program says that the system can help students boost scores by 254 points on the SAT. One of the keys of its prep is that the SAT always tests the exact same concepts and question types. Keziah said it’s possible for students to go into the test knowing exactly what to expect. “It doesn’t test a person’s intelligence, just how well you’ve learned the test,” Keziah said. “I view it as a

game with rules you can learn and a game you can beat and that’s kind of reassuring for students.” Her Rancho Santa Fe summer course will be an intense three-week program, three days a week. Students who prefer learning one on one can opt for private tutoring instead and Keziah also offers a hybrid option which includes the classes and private tutoring. Keziah has always been very comfortable at the head of a class and has enjoyed tutoring and working with kids. While she is currently majoring in materials science and engineering at Stanford she won’t yet rule out a career in education. “Education is really important and good teachers are always needed,” Keziah said. “It’s something I’m definitely considering.” In addition to SAT and ACT prep, Keziah also offers tutoring in AP Biology, AP Calculus BC, AP Calculus AB, AP English and AP Statistics. The group course is $599; hybrid option is $899 and Keziah will offer financial aid.

Torrey Pines Music Department earns top awards The Torrey Pines High School Music Department brought home many new trophies during this competitive season, highlighting the talent and dedication of the music students and music director Amy Willcox. In March both orchestras qualified for the Southern California School Band & Orchestra Association regional festival by receiving superior ratings at the local festival in Oceanside. The orchestras traveled to Ontario for the regional competition on May 20. The Advanced Orchestra received a unanimous superior (superiors from all four judges) in the AA (collegiate) level for the 8th year in a row. They were the only high school orchestra to receive a unanimous superior. The Intermediate Orchestra received an excellent rating in the Class B (high school) level. Both groups performed a prepared program and were also judged on their sight reading. “The Advanced Orchestra has exceptionally talented musicians this year and they really play well together,” said Amy Willcox, music director. The orchestras went straight from the competition in Ontario to meet the Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band students in Valencia for the Music in the Parks festival where all five of the Torrey Pines ensembles came in first place for a clean sweep. The Wind Ensemble was judged overall best band. Nicci Cazares, vocalist in the Jazz Band, received the Overall Best Soloist award. The Jazz Band competed in the Coronado Jazz Fest on April 30, receiving second place and a unanimous superior rating in the advanced category. Outstanding Musicianship awards went to Will Shi, Omron Hassan, Lenny Cheah, Andy Zhao & Nicci Cazares. In March, the Jazz Band also performed in the Irvine Jazz Fest, receiving the “Best Trombone Section” award and earning Outstanding Soloist awards for Nicci Cazares, Lenny Cheah & Jaeyoung Kim. “It’s been a very busy competitive season and all of the ensembles have done very well,” said Ms. Willcox. “We were thrilled to come out of Music in the Parks with five first place finishes. Every year our program grows stronger.” For more information about the Torrey Pines Music Department visit http://teachers. sduhsd.net/awillcox/.

Soldier Stories: ‘The Tip of the Spear’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Contributor There are over 1.4 million active U.S. military personnel paying a huge price while we freedom-loving citizens benefit from America’s unlimited opportunities. Men and women from all walks of life, ethnicities and cultures do many jobs and carry the enormous weight to keep America secure and ensure peace. This column will present soldier stories to provide readers insight into the lives of these dedicated, talented, and brave warriors and heroes who watch our backs. Here is our first story: Earning his wings in 2007, U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Justin L. Jackson, a Houston, Texas, native based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, has flown the AH-1W Super Cobra in three combat deployments — one in Iraq and two in Afghanistan. This twin-engine attack helicopter is the backbone of the U.S. Marine Corps Helicopter fleet. From the outset, Jackson says, “It takes a unique mindset” to go to battle. Most of us will never have to fight an elusive and ruthless enemy night to day for months on end, pushing the body, keeping the mind focused and skills sharp despite carnage and destruc-

tion all around. “Taking the oath and wanting to serve your country means potentially giving your life in her defense.” Success in combat does not come without a cost laments Jackson – who has lost good friends weeks before they were set to go home. “Whether they came from our unit or the ones we supported, we all feel it and mourn in our own ways – that’s the Marine mentality. You never get used to it, nor should we ever. We remember them for the stories, the good times and what they stood for. But they would also want us to show up for work the next day and provide the same quality support as before, taking the fight to the enemy and accomplish the mission.” He remembers, with respect, his step-grandfather, a World War II veteran, and NFL player Pat Tillman, who “placed servitude and sacrifice

above fame and greed.” Tillman, who took the oath and gave his life, helps him stay grounded. Jackson’s military career started at the United States Naval Academy. “Being a young somewhat jaded midshipman, Sept. 11 had a profound effect on me. Up until that point, I was sure I wanted nothing to do with the Marines.” In the years that followed, many people Jackson admired opted to join. He said he wanted to be part of it – part of the tip of the spear. Becoming a member of “the few, the proud” was the best way to do that. Jackson’s greatest reward is the bond he forms with the Marines he flies for every day — especially in combat. He offers, “No other service trains like we do…At some point, regardless of our military occupational specialty (MOS), we take our issued rifle, gear, lace up our boots and slug through months of infan-

try training. This shared appreciation for the ‘grunt’ — the customer they will one day support — is forever seared into our minds. ” Appreciation for support was revealed to Jackson in Kyrgyzstan while conversing with a forward air controller (FAC) from the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment (2/8). Jackson and his squadron had a very special relationship with that unit during Operation River Liberty. During the 2009 surge in the Helmand Province, Afghanistan, “they arguably worked the most challenging slice of Afghan soil” — starting with the biggest heli-borne insert since the Vietnam War. “Prior to River Liberty, there was very little sustained coalition presence in many parts of Southern Helmand. But one early July morning that all changed. The Taliban went to sleep that night and literally awoke to find 4,000 Marines in their backyard.” “What 2/8 accomplished that summer was remarkable”, says Jackson. “We knew we would be busy and that the theater would become more kinetic…but thankfully we were well-trained and ready. Our mission was to identify the enemy and prevent him from gaining any momen-

U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Justin L. Jackson tum,” and as pilots of attack helicopters “to support and protect our own.” The words of a young squad leader forever remind him of that. “He asked me if I was from ‘Repent’ (our theater call sign). When I said I was, he shook my hand and said”, “Sir, you guys really saved us more times than I will ever admit to my mother…thankyou.” Jackson was never more proud to be a Marine than at that very moment. When he returned for his second deployment to Afghanistan in 2010, the areas that were once most kinetic became some of the best success stories in Afghanistan. He reports, “Marines in those parts worried less about pursuing the enemy and more about making sure the children made it to school

on time.” On being an American, Jackson reflects, “While no doubt we have suffered our setbacks along the way, the United States has done so much good for mankind… having an intimate knowledge of our history, our trials and tribulations is crucial for every American to understand and appreciate.” Since being commissioned an officer in the United States Marine Corps from the Naval Academy in 2004, Jackson has been listening for those infantry Marines’ voices on the radio, bearing witness to the value of his work. I feel many Americans echo his sentiments; “I still get chills hearing our national Anthem and watching Old Glory flap freely in the wind. I feel so very blessed and humble to be an American.” Jackson is looking forward to a fourth deployment (third to Afghanistan). His passion for what he does is clear: he tells me his entire existence is to support that young Marine, quite often only months removed from a high school prom. I’m convinced our backs are secure with this flying warrior, who, with many others have stepped up to be “the tip of the spear.”

Jackson Hawkins thanks Annie Driscoll and Maddie Uebelhor for saving his life.

Girls thanked for saving teen’s life at SB Boys & Girls Club Annie Driscoll of Carlsbad and Madeline Uebelhor of Encinitas, were recognized at the Solana Beach Boys and Girls Club recently for pulling Jackson Hawkins from the bottom of the club’s pool and saving his life this past Memorial Day. Both girls were praised by Club Aquatic Director Joe Benjamin for their quick thinking. “This act shows great character in both the young ladies and we are extremely proud of their heroic acts” said Benjamin. The rescue began when Annie noticed a young boy (Hawkins) submerged under water and therefore she swam out to check on the situation. Upon reaching Hawkins, Annie noticed that the boy only had a few bubbles coming from his mouth. She grabbed Hawkins by the under arm area and pulled him to safety above the water’s surface. Maddie noticed Annie struggling from fatigue after swimming from the bottom of the 75-meter pool with Hawkins and helped her place him over the lane line and called for help from the lifeguard. Due to the girl’s quick decision-making, Hawkins was uninjured in the incident.

Encinitas Gamers capture San Diego Elite Tournament The Encinitas Gamers recruit student-athletes with high level academics and solid baseball skills, from schools throughout the San Diego area. This year’s team, which features players from nine schools, captured a second straight San Diego Elite Tournament, allowing only five runs in four games, playing nearly flawless defense throughout. Sameer Jafri (Canyon Crest Academy) picked up the win in the final game, throwing 5 strong innings, allowing only one run on 2 hits. Rhett Williams (Ramona) shut out a determined SDBC team for the final two innings to record the save. It took the Gamers ten innings to reach the finals by turning back the always scrappy, Team San Diego. Sammy Casinelli (La Costa Canyon) blasted a walk-off double to the center field wall, scoring Canyon Crest’s Riley Adams from second base for the games’ only run. Sam Sainz (Temecula Prep) threw seven shutout innings and Dakota Wilson (Del Norte) added three more to pick up the win. The Encinitas Gamers play in the USA Premier League and will compete in the July 4 Firecracker Showcase Tournament in Orange County, July 1-6.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Del Mar Live Scan at Piazza Carmel Postal Annex offers digital fingerprinting services BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER With Del Mar Live Scan offered inside his Piazza Carmel Postal Annex location, owner Kirk Krikorian has made an identifiable mark on fingerprinting services in North County. Since opening in 2006, Del Mar Live Scan has become one of the main sources for the background check process required by law for many professions. Del Mar Live Scan replaces black ink fingerprinting with a digital scan of your fingerprints. A Carmel Valley resident since 1995, Krikorian had a long, 32-plus year career as an insurance executive before deciding he wanted to change careers, opening up the Postal Annex branch 10 years ago. “This has become one of the top producing Postal Annexes in the whole county,” Krikorian said of the busy location and “wonderful” community. Five years ago Krikorian developed the Live Scan concept to give Carmel Valley and surrounding areas a convenient resource as fingerprinting is required by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI for background checks in numerous professions, including teachers, school volunteers, nurses, military applicants, contractors, CPAs and

more. “There was a definite need for a local place to do fingerprinting and since I owned the Postal Annex it was an ideal merge,” Krikorian said. “Fingerprinting is done in a professional, business environment.” Certified technicians complete the fingerprinting work and prints are sent to the DOJ, FBI and the Child Abuse Central Index (CACI) if applicable. “People really appreciate the service they get from us, we’re really particular when it comes to service,” said Krikorian. “We want to make everyone feel special when they walk into the store.” Del Mar Live Scan accepts walk-ins, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Krikorian said they can be open for extended Owner Kirk Krikorian, left, with employees of Del Mar Live Scan and hours to accommodate a customer’s busy Postal Annex.

I disagree. Democrats favor progressive taxation. Republicans favor huge tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Democrats support Social Security, Medicare, and national health insurance. Republicans want to repeal

Democrats are prochoice. Republicans, that odd coalition of the very rich and the religious right, have pledged to outlaw abortion and stem-cell research. Democrats are friends of the environment.

Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan generates savings School districts throughout California are looking for cost containment and cash flow strategies. A Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan is one program that generates savings as a result of the salary differential between the retiring employee and the new employee hired to fill the position. The program is designed to create incen-

tives that increase and accelerate the retirement rate in excess of the natural attrition rate. This retirement strategy is used to create fiscal savings that will aid the district in offering the best educational experience possible for the children of our district.

continued from page A1 after earlier expressing fear about the Torrey Pines project hurting business. “This could be an absolute disaster for the community,” he warned. “Downtown is suffering right now and with this project I’m just afraid this will give people reason to say, ‘Don’t go to La Jolla because you can’t get in there.’ ” “You get it going and the money will come,” said Lightner, noting momentum is all-important in a complex, long-term project of this nature that is vying with similar transportation projects elsewhere for state, local and federal subsidy dollars. In casting the vote, the T&T Board members reject-

of tax extensions and spending cuts to balance the California budget. Every legislative Republican insists on an all-cuts budget, no matter what the cost to schools, parks, roads, cops, and the poor, sick, and elderly. Most Democrats favor comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship — and they supported the Dream Act. Many Republicans are immigrantbashers. Pete Wilson and Brian Bilbray come to mind. In the 1960s, Democratic Presidents Kennedy and Johnson led the charge for black civil rights. Republicans promptly launched a “Southern Strategy,” designed to appeal to disgruntled white people. As the Great Depression was brought on by the poli-

cies of Republican presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, the great recession of our own time was brought on by the policies of Republican president George W. Bush. Throughout the Great Depression and beyond, voters elected Democrat Franklin Roosevelt four times and gave him large majorities in Congress. Voters did NOT say in 1936: “Well, FDR hasn’t ended the Depression yet. I guess we should give control of the economy back to the Republicans.” Consider the company you keep if you believe there is no difference between the parties. George Wallace, racist governor of Alabama and “state-rights” candidate for the presidency, was fond of

saying, “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.” Ross Perot made the same claim in 1992, with the unintended consequence of helping Bill Clinton defeat Bush I. The same argument was made by Ralph Nader, whose third-party run in 2000 cost Al Gore the presidency (despite winning the popular vote) and ushered in eight years of Bush II. Suggestion (from Andy Borowitz) of a campaign slogan for possible presidential candidate Rick Perry: “What harm could a governor of Texas do?” Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University.

best solution in the long run. … I heard a commitment by Sherri to see this project through, all four segments of it. … I heard a room full of hope for a successful project.” A couple of people also expressed doubt that the project, as proposed, will ever be finished. Among them was Joe LaCava, a Bird Rock resident who argued that it might be preferable to do an abridged version of the project. “A $26 million project in four phases will never get done,” he said. “The better way to do it would be to downsize it to one $6 million or $7 million project: That would be a better solution, with a better chance of getting done, though it would make a lot of people unhappy.” The Torrey Pines Corri-

dor Study previously approved by the City Council recommends 20 improvements including: • street cross sections and new guardrails, bollards and sidewalks, • a 10-foot-wide, twoway left-lane median in the center of Torrey Pines west of Viking Way; • formation of a continuous marked bike lane, • new V-calm speed indicators and transverse striping pavement markers installed in both directions to discourage speeding, • new lighting and landscaped areas, • bluff stabilization, • addition of parkway trees and fencing, • creation of a view corridor and • addition of signage and storm-water drainage. City engineers have

said Segment 4 from Little Street to La Jolla Shores Drive — the entrance to the Village and the longest segment — has the least cost because it has very few retaining walls and that the city has already allocated money to the design and building of those walls. T&T chair Todd Lesser noted there are other reasons for doing Segment 4 first. “There is not just acquisition of land involved but archaeological issues with Indian burial grounds in the Spindrift area,” he said. T &T’s ratification of Segment 4 will next be considered by La Jolla Community Planning Association which meets next on at p.m. on July 7 at the La Jolla Rec Center.

His passion for music has been with him throughout his life, beginning as a boy, growing up in a household where music and singing were an integral part of family life. For the past 20 years, Supernak has served as the volunteer organist and cantor at the Polish Catholic Mission in Pacific Beach. He and his wife perform in a quartet at the church. He has written and composed more than 50 songs and recorded two albums: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Prayerâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas in San Diego,â&#x20AC;? which won first prizes at the International Multimedia Festival â&#x20AC;&#x153;Polish Homelands,â&#x20AC;? in 2006 and 2007.

His song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Found My Perfect City,â&#x20AC;? was the popular vote winner in a contest for a song about San Diego organized by San Diego Magazine and radio station Sophie@103.7. It has had more than 4,000 hits on YouTube. In addition to his musical interests, Supernak is an avid table tennis (ping-pong) player. He is a frequent competitor in San Diego Table Tennis Association tournaments, often against skillful Chinese players at the Recreational Center in Carmel Valley, and solo against a robot in his garage. At the 2008 U.S. National Competition in Las Vegas, he was ranked 16 in his age group. All through his career in the U.S., Supernak has maintained an abiding connection with his native Poland. He is president of the San Diego-Warsaw & Mazovia Province Sister City Society and active in the House of Poland in Balboa Park, the Polish-American Congress, Polonia Technica and Polonia United. In 2004, he arranged for Polish Solidarity leader Lech Walesa to give a lecture at SDSU that attracted an audience of 1,200.

Buchanan earns his stripes; Eagle’s leadership, tenacity, inspires teammates BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR When asked his idea of a football player with great leadership qualities, Santa Fe Christian’s Andrew Buchanan cited former Chargers and current New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. “To me, the great leader is the guy who leaves it all on the field but then he doesn’t talk about it after the game,” said Buchanan, an incoming senior linebacker/quarterback. “He’s just subtle, he talks about how it’s a combined team effort and he doesn’t gloat.” When asked the same question, incoming SFC running back/defensive back Jarrod Watson-Lewis cited Andrew Buchanan. “Motivational,” Watson-Lewis said of Buchanan. “Inspirational, really.” In recent months, Buchanan has earned his stripes as an inspirational leader after rejoining his team for spring workouts just weeks after experiencing potentially lifethreatening complications from a knee surgery in April. Buchanan suffered a severed artery during the procedure and a related blood clot a few days later. Undeterred, Buchanan has resumed football-related activities, participating in spring weight-lifting and running drills while wearing a surgically-installed metal brace on his knee that weighs more than two pounds. “When we’re in our workouts and doing a lot of hard work some people get discouraged, like ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore,’ ” Watson-Lewis said. “Then you think about that injury, it’s beyond what anyone can imagine. “It just makes you feel like, OK, I should be pushing harder. It makes (practices) easier.” Buchanan has prided himself for pushing harder since long before the injury in just about every endeavor he’s pursued. Buchanan, who also plays on the volleyball team, has maintained an off-the-charts 4.67 GPA at SFC. He plans to

Andrew Buchanan major in mechanical or chemical engineering at UCLA, UC Berkeley, or Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo). “ I’ve always grown up trying to push myself to do the best I can in school, and that carried over into when I started playing sports,” Buchanan said. “I just treat everything as a competition, whether it’s sports or school.” Buchanan played football on a bum knee his junior year, splitting time between the varsity and junior varsity. He suffered the injury doing quick start-and-stop sprints called “suicides.” “My body went one way and the knee didn’t come with it,” he said of the injury. “It just kind of stuck in the turf.” The injury left him with a torn MCL and damaged growth plate. What was supposed to be a two-day procedure left him in the intensive care unit for nine days. Buchanan was about four days into his hospital stay when he learned of the complications. “I was on so much pain medication it didn’t really hit

me what happened,” Buchanan said. Buchanan said the hardest part of the injury was missing out on activities for several months. He had to sit out all of his junior volleyball season, and his football activities have been restricted. He’s expected to have his brace surgically removed in late July, and will be able to participate in limited activities a week after that. He’ll be able to participate in full contact drills by mid-August. He expects to make a complete recovery. “I can’t do everything, but I’m doing everything I can, trying to be a team leader for my teammates,” Buchanan said. It’s a role he relishes. “I just want to show them that nothing’s going to slow me down,” Buchanan said. “I’m trying to do the most that I can through my actions to show (the younger players) that I have a good work ethic so they can model it after mine.” And through his example, Buchanan has given the Eagles leadership they can trust. “It shows that he’s fearless, he’s just a fighter,” WatsonLewis said. “When things are going wrong during a game you just look over at (Buchanan) and you know everything’s going to be OK. You know he’ll always be there for you.” Buchanan, a 5-foot-10, 170-pounder with below average speed, strength and size, more than makes up for what he lacks in tangible tools with a passion for the game and energetic playing style that rubs off on teammates. He’s projected to be the team’s backup quarterback, but could start at middle linebacker, Eagles coach Nick Ruscetta said. “He’s one of those kids where if you had 11 of them on your team you’d probably never lose a game,” Ruscetta said. “Kids who don’t think they can play sports can look at him and say ‘if he can do it, anybody can do it.’ ”

Torrey Pines grad Cory Nasoff selected to compete at water polo’s World University Games in China

The Cathedral Catholic girls swim and dive team.

Cathedral Catholic captures 4th consecutive CIF crown Recently at Del Norte High School, the Cathedral Catholic girls swim and dive team won their fourth straight CIF Division II title after a meet-long, pressure packed battle with Valhalla in which both teams outdistanced Mt. Carmel, Westview, Canyon Crest and La Jolla. Going into the finals, Valhalla appeared poised to threaten Cathedral’s title streak. That Valhalla was a threat was not lost on Cathedral head coach Jeff Owen. “We scored out the meet based on the prelims and diving which showed us going into finals tied 195 to 195 with Valhalla.” True to form, the two teams went into the last event of the meet with Cathedral holding a slim six point lead and the relays for the two teams seeded first and second. As the meet announcer let everyone know how tight the team race was, Owen reflected that “after watching the girls consistently hit best times throughout the meet I was confident they could do it, but I’d be lying if I did say I was nervous.” Cathedral’s 400 free relay of Jenna Harris, Kim Boone, Molly Barry and Roz Kackman stepped up and shaved over five seconds off of their top qualifying preliminary swim to win and clinch the title for the Dons. Throughout the morning, the Cathedral girls responded to the pressure with great swims. Owen noted that “the girls knew that every opportunity to move up a place from

Water polo player Cory Nasoff, a 2007 Torrey Pines graduate and Cal Bears runner up NCAA finalist, has been selected to represent the USA at the upcoming World University Games in China. Head coach Marc Hunt recently announced the Men’s World University Games roster that will compete at the World University Games this Aug. 11-23 in Shenzhen, China. The squad represents some of the best recent college aged talent the United States has to offer. Team USA has been slotted in Group C along with Serbia, France, and Singapore, and will meet those teams in group play to start off the tourney opening with Singapore on Aug. 11. Cory Nasoff Team USA has had success in the event earning consecutive first place finishes in 1991 and 1993. The 1991 title came under the direction of UC-Irvine’s Ted Newland in Sheffield, England, while the most recent championship team was guided by the late Steve Heaston of Cal in 1993 in Buffalo, New York. The United States last competed in the World University Games in 2009 in Belgrade, Serbia, claiming a sixth place finish. — USA Water Polo (usawaterpolo.org) their prelim standing was the way to win the meet.” The tone was set in the first event of the meet, the 200 medley relay. Jenna Harris, Kim Boone, Roz Kackman and Katie Kochalko won for the Dons with Valhalla finishing third. In the 200 freestyle, Cathedral got big swims from Roz Kackman (1st), Molly Barry (3rd) and Ashley Weedman (7th). Kackman’s time of 1:51.92 was an All-American consideration time, and she continued her outstanding performance winning the 100 butterfly. Barry took second in the 500 freestyle with a 4:59.43, also an All-American consideration time. Other key contributors for the Dons were Harris (4th – 100 backstroke/5th – 50 free), Kochalko (8th – 100 butterfly/ 9th – 200 IM), Weedman (5th – 500 free), Emilie Myers (8th – 100 butterfly), and Boone (6th – 100 breaststro ke). Weedman, Myers, Barry and Kochalko combined to take 5th in the 200 freestyle relay and diver Kylie Sullivan placed 7th. Owen enjoyed the team victory because “every swimmer had a role to play, and swimming is usually such an individual sport. It was great watching the girls accomplish this together.” Graduating senior Kim Boone was selected as the recipient of the CIF Sportsmanship award.

North Shore goes to finals on Father’s Day The 12U gold all-star team of the North Shore Girls Softball League made their dads proud on Father’s Day, as they made their way to the finals of the 19th Annual Summer Heat Classic Tournament in Poway. North Shore emerged from pool play to face the numberone seeded Clairemont team, the highest-scoring team in the tournament. North Shore was down by three runs early in the game, but continued to play stellar defense until their offense kicked into gear. Nicole Anderson went three for three at bat, hitting the game-winning, tworun home run propelling North Shore into the semi-finals against Peninsula. “Nicole has driven the ball

well this season, but that home run was absolutely uncatchable,” said North Shore manager Kent Zapata. The semi-final game was a pitching and defensive game as North Shore pitcher Lauren Scheg held Peninsula scoreless until the final inning when they scored one run. North Shore was able to push across four runs, highlighted by Christina Bragado, who had a batting average of over .500 for the tournament. “Christina put so much pressure on their defense with her speed,” added Zapata. “It’s what made the difference in that game.” North Shore took on Bonita Valley in the championship

game. It was the fourth time these two teams have faced off this season. Pitcher Maddie Ley limited Bonita Valley’s strong offense to only two runs in three innings. Ley had a 1.27 ERA for the entire tournament. “Maddie had a great tournament, and was a big reason we were successful,” said Zapata. “She battled every pitch on the mound.” The final game was close until the sixth inning when Bonita Valley scored four runs to take a 7-3 lead. North Shore was unable to catch up, finishing second in the tournament, but giving their dads an exciting Father’s Day.

Stillinger committed to conservation A founding board member of the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, Denise Stillinger served as the first treasurer for 15 years. Her involvement with the lagoon began as a volunteer patroller back in 1986, before a fulltime county ranger was assigned to the reserve. In addition to her current duties as president of the Conservancy, she continues her 25-year commitment as a docent, leading school groups on walks at the reserve. Stillinger teaches biology at the Denise Stillinger San Elijo campus of MiraCosta College, a faculty position she’s held for 22 years. She attended UCSD as an undergrad and completed her graduate work at SDSU. Stillinger enjoys traveling, camping, and playing soccer. Her “midlife soccer crisis” has taken her to tournaments in Las Vegas, Orlando, Sydney, Australia, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. And there is talk of a trip to Torino, Italy, in 2013.

Cardiff is a genuine and diverse community, not a homogeneous suburb. There are all types of people in my neighborhood; from immigrants to millionaires and from toddlers to octogenarians. You can walk to the post office, the library, the grocery store, VG’s donut shop, a taco stand, the beach or a bar. What could be better? 3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area? I’d resurrect the old train station that use to be in Cardiff for office space for the Conservancy. I’d also make it easier to get a campsite at San Elijo State Beach (priority

Court Reed and Muffy Walker

Award-winning International Bipolar Foundation founder devoted to educating public about the illness BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR For years after Muffy Walker’s youngest son began suffering from the symptoms of bipolar disorder at age 4, her family struggled with the impacts — doctors who initially misdiagnosed his condition, schoolmates who teased the boy and adults who feared and misunderstood the illness. “They called him mentalhead, psycho and told him to go back to the mental hospital,” recalled Walker of the childish taunts lobbed at her son when he was 7 or 8 years old. And it wasn’t just children, she said: his schoolmates’ parents were leery of allowing their children to socialize with her son, and even firefighters who were called to a supermarket during a manic episode suggested the boy merely needed stricter discipline. “My son has never been in trouble with the law, never hurt anyone, never been in a psychiatric hospital; he simply has a brain illness called bipolar disor-

der,” said Walker. The response by the public, she said, “is the fear of the unknown.” The local resident’s experiences led her to found the International Bipolar Foundation, which celebrated its fourth anniversary this month. Also this month, Walker, 54, was recognized for her work with the prestigious Mogens Schou Award for Public Service from the International Society for Bipolar Disorders, an organization of researchers, clinicians, social workers and people affected by the illness. The award — named for a Danish researcher who confirmed the use of lithium to treat bipolar disorder — was presented at a ceremony held in Pittsburgh during the society’s biannual conference. David Miklowitz, professor of psychiatry at UCLA, nominated Walker for the award. Miklowitz, whose work is focused on bipolar disorder, said he became aware of Walker through a newsletter she produces to educate the public and assist

people dealing with bipolar disorder, which is also known as manic-depressive illness. People who suffer from the disorder are prone to severe mood changes, resulting from episodes of mania, when they become overexcited and agitated, and depression, when they become lethargic, deeply sad and hopeless, according to the website of the National Institutes of Mental Health. The illness is believed to be hereditary, according to Miklowitz. Walker, said Miklowitz, is “a very high energy person who’s done a lot of outreach to the community, particularly to consumers or caregivers.” Walker’s newsletter, which can be found on her foundation’s website, www. internationalbipolarfoundation.org, contains a wealth of information helpful to anyone with an interest in the disorder, including himself, said Miklowitz.

Local woman campaigns for a school in rural Cambodia BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor Supplying a young girl in Cambodia with just $10 a month can make her the breadwinner of her family, help to eradicate poverty, and probably keep that child out of the sex trade. This is the message Nicole Sahin is trying to get across through her partnership with American Assistance for Cambodia. Established by a journalist to provide opportunities for Cambodian children, the program seeks to stop the disturbing cycle that places children, girls in particular, into the sex industry. Sahin, senior director of the international business consulting firm, High Street Partners, has made it her mission to raise funds to start a school for children in rural Cambodia to provide them with an education that will allow them to live a life they could otherwise only dream of. Sahin has visited more than 50 countries and circumnavigated the globe

She said her travels provided her with a window on how others live. “My trips have made me see how much further money can go in other

places,” she explained. “I want to show that you can make a huge difference with something that is so attainable.” Her excitement is infectious. She has recruited a team of seven inspired women to help her build the school. Their goal is for each to raise $2,500 to 3,000. Her team is comprised of Denise Hummel of Carlsbad; Sayaka Adachi of Vista; Los Angeles-local Mary Murphy; Carolyn Taylor Meyer, who lives up the coast in Monterey; Bostonite Jeannette Van Der Velde; and Casie Gambrel, an expat living in Australia. Since May 26, they have collectively raised $7,000. “I’d been thinking about this for a long time, and once I recruited these women, I knew it was possible to build the school,” Sahin said. “There are two tools to eradicating poverty: educating women and having a well.” In Cambodia, 10 percent of children die before

eases. “The school is just the beginning. It will have a well that will provide ac-

cess to clean water. We don’t think about something that simple, but access to clean water there is key,” Sahin insisted. The Asian Development Bank will match funds raised for the construction of the school. It’s estimated the total cost of the building, with 3 to 6 classrooms, desks, chalkboards, and materials, is $19,000. Funds will also provide for a nationally certified teacher for two years, as well as a computer, solar panel to power the school, and a bookcase full of texts. The school’s opening ceremony is slated for spring/summer 2012. Once the school is up and running, however, Sahin and her team’s work will still not be done. These ambitious women plan on arranging microfinance opportunities in the village, as a way to provide work opportunities for graduates and to stimulate the economy in the targeted village.

DM Farmers’ Market continues to flourish with new enhancements

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY MARLENA MEDFORD STAFF WRITER The Del Mar Farmers’ Market has long been a community staple for farm-tofork fresh food and, after nearly 25 years, it has the distinction of being one of the oldest markets in the county. When this weekly open-air market launched in 1985, in fact, Vista was the only other city to offer a farmers’ market. Today, there are more than 50 farmers’ markets in the county, with new ones steadily opening. Indeed, things have gotten more competitive since that first market day in 1985 and, as a result, the volunteer board that runs the Del Mar Farmers’ Market is working to make sure it stays strong for another 25 years. Based on customer feedback, they’ve added more international foods and prepared meals, which have proven to be a hit with customers onthe-go, and they’re finishing touches on a market logo and website, which will hopefully launch within the next few months. “We want to focus on taking this market to its maximum potential,” said board member Nicole Holli-

Estela Maciel, manager of the Del Mar Farmers’ Market, and her husband Anthony. day, adding that the group is also planning a 25th anniversary celebration for September. “The founders of this market had an incredible vision and we’re trying to continue to build on that.” Those founders — a group of seven women — also helped Del Mar Farmers’ Market gain its nonprofit status, something that is truly unique for farmers’ markets. To date, it has provided more than $200,000 to Del Mar community efforts. This year alone, it will give $10,000 back to the community via donations: to purchase a new waste bin for the city; toward

funding for the new lifeguard station; to the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy; to the Del Mar Library; and to Del Mar Community Connections; and for funding scholarships for college students who work at the farmers’ market. “We take a lot of pride in our nonprofit status, and we’re committed to the wellbeing of this community,” Holliday added. And in return, the community has stayed largely committed to the farmers’ market, as have many of the vendors. Case in point: the Del Mar Farmers’ Market scholarship fund is

Today, Maciel’s daughter-in-law Estela can still be found at the market every Saturday, where she works as manager, the only paid staffer for the non-profit. “Stories like that are neat, and they’re part of

what make our market so special,” Holliday said. “This is a place you can come get berries picked that morning, and talk to the farmers who picked them. It’s a way for people to eat fresh quality food, support local farmers, chat with your neighbors, and support something that’s

giving back to your community.” The Del Mar Farmers’ Market is held every Saturday afternoon from 1 to 4 p.m. at 1050 Camino Del Mar, between 10th Street and 11th Street. For more information, please email delmarmarket@ gmail.com.

New chef stirs up Mediterranean Room’s fare with fresh, international flavors BY WILL PARSON he tides are shifting at Mediterranean Room this summer. The menu is being refreshed and the management has brought in renowned Chicago chef Jason McLeod as a temporary consultant to revitalize the historical La Jolla hangout. Staying true to its name, the new menu from executive chef Lance Repp stretches from Spain to Greece (with many stops between) with a feel that is light, healthful and exciting. McLeod notes positive trends all over San Diego’s restaurant scene as part of the impetus for change. He says the city is catching up with dining hot spots around the country. “It’s an exciting time to be here and we want to be a part of that.” New dishes — two or three at a time — are popping up on the menu, matching a heightened emphasis on seasonal local ingredients from sources like Chino Farms and Crows Pass Farm. New events include the Mediterranean Nights every Thursday through Saturday, featuring music on the patio with

T Pan Roasted Scallops with morel mushroom, fava beans, and pea shoots.

With the view facing the Pacific, it’s easy to see why the Mediterranean Room used to be called the Surf Room until the 1960s.

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’

■ This week: The Mediterranean Room’s Eggplant Caponata tapas and small tasting plates that should be great to grab between dances. Monday night barbecues offer three courses on the patio, and Sunday Suppers offer a threecourse meal served family-style. Chef Lance has been at Mediterranean Room for two years, but moved up to executive chef last September. He says his training is in traditional French cuisine, but that he gravitates toward other Mediterranean fare, such as Spanish and Italian, as well as Indian cuisine (some curries should appear on the menu in the near future). While the restaurant has struggled with a large menu in the past, Chef Lance’s approach has been to

clean it up and pare it down. His newer dishes, like the King Salmon, focus on just a few carefully prepared, fresh and delicious ingredients. The key at Mediterranean Room has perhaps been a level of consistency despite the changes. The staff is confident in the direction it’s heading, and new dishes aren’t overwhelming the existing menu overnight. And part of the new efforts, says McLeod, has simply been to look at why people came to the Mediterranean Room at various points in its history. After all, guests have enjoyed a pretty nice view of the ocean for the better part of a century.

100th birthday celebration event in honor of Ginger Rogers to be held July 16 in DM Celebrate Ginger Rogers’ 100th birthday at Artists Space Gallery at Southfair in Del Mar on Saturday, July 16. The event, to be held from 6-9 p.m., will honor the worldrenowned actress, dancer, motion picture and Broadway star Ginger Rogers, as well as her mother Lela. Photographer H. Montgomery-Drysdale, a close friend of Rogers and her mother, will provide photographs and information about the Rogers ladies, much of which has never been seen or known. Montgomery-Drysdale met the Rogers women at the La Jolla Playhouse in 1963, where she was the director of advertising, public relations and photography at the time. Of special interest to the photographer and her associate, Dayna Carroll, is the fact that Ginger’s mother was one of the first 10 American women to join the U.S. Marines in 1918. Daughter Ginger was just 7 years old. Lela Rogers was a gifted writer, editor of the Marine publication “Leatherneck” and many Hollywood scripts. Retired members of the Marines, men and women, will join in the festivities. The opening ceremony will feature members of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps from Oceanside High School. Artists Space, which is owned by Rachel Turner Thomas, is located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd. No entry fees.

WALKER continued from page B1 Lisa Weinreb, a Carmel Valley resident and vice president/secretary of the foundation’s board. “Muffy lives and breathes this organization,” said Weinreb. “(The award) is so deserved, I was so thrilled for her.” “She is an amazing woman, we can’t keep up with her,” Weinreb said. Walker, whose husband is John Reed, CEO of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in La Jolla, founded the organization with Weinreb, and two other women, Lynn Muto of Rancho Santa Fe and Karen Sheffres of Poway, all of whom have children diagnosed with the illness. Along with serving as the foundation’s president, Walker continues to run support groups for people affected by bipolar disorder from her home. The nonprofit foundation’s three major goals are “to eliminate Bipolar Disorder through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support services for all affected; and to erase associated stigma through public education,” according to the group’s website. Among its initiatives are raising funds to make research grants, and finishing work on a book, called “Healthy Living With Bipo-

lar Disorder,” which will be available online later this year, Walker said. The chapters are written by various experts, and focus on different topics, such as medication, spirituality, dealing with bipolar disorder during pregnancy, nutrition, and caring for people with the disorder, Walker said. Walker, who holds master’s degrees in psychiatric nursing and business administration, estimated she spends about 60 hours each week on foundation work. “It’s my life, it’s what I do.” She hopes to continue building the organization’s presence both internationally and in the United States in the coming years. “We’d like to be the go-to organization for anybody with bipolar disorder.” Walker’s son, Court Reed, currently takes four medications, and his condition is under control, although the medications do cause serious side effects, she said. He has been attending boarding school in Illinois, where he is having typical high school experiences such as prom, clubs and sports teams, and earning an “A” grade point average. “He’s doing great, I’m really proud of him,” Walker said. Over the past several decades, medical science has developed a wider range of drugs to treat bipolar disorder, along with more effective psychotherapy methods, said Miklowitz, who

also has written a book on the subject, “The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide.” But those who don’t get proper treatment can find themselves in and out of the hospital, missing work and even in danger of committing suicide, Miklowitz said. “If it’s not under control you can have a really tough life.” While the public is becoming more aware of mental illness and hopefully more tolerant, said Miklowitz, a stigma regarding mental illness still exists. Bipolar disorder, said Miklowitz, Walker and Weinreb, is no different than illnesses such as cancer or diabetes, and should be treated the same. “I still think there’s a basic mistrust in our society of mental illness, and a misunderstanding. So we have a long way to go,” Miklowitz said. For more information, visit www.internationalbipolarfoundation.org.

Try these defensive food maneuvers for a safe (and delicious) 4th of July The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 235th anniversary of its split from Great Britain has swelled to become the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest secular shindig. Celebrations show off with rock-star pyrotechnics, machismo-grilling skills, puerile face-stuffing contests, and a smorgasbord of American eats from pork butts to peanut butter cookies. Instead of celebrating Independence Day by charring bovine at a backyard barbecue, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new game plan that might include whipping up some portable

picnic foods (sans the mayo and other perishables) and heading to the beach or backyard to go AWOL. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disarmed by an untraditional Fourth menu. Keep things simple with an assortment of sandwiches, salads and chilled summer soups â&#x20AC;&#x201D; smoky gazpacho, watermelon basil, cilantro avocado, blueberry banana, icy lemon or minty Georgia peach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to provide tasty replenishment at land or sea. Have plenty of common supplies on hand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; toppings, condiments, and patriotic red, white and blue potato and pasta salads and coleslaw with vinaigrette bases. My grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classified recipe for stuffed red pepper slaw pairs well with a variety of hero and submarine sandwiches on assorted baguettes stuffed with turkey bacon, grilled chicken breasts, and nightshades such as Portobellos, marinated eggplant, red onions, technicolor pepper slices, and heirloom tomatoes. For the sweet-tooths, try jam or bananas and nut butter sandwiches, like almond,

walnut, macadamia or cashew. Here are a few safe-food strategies for deployment: 1. Keep hot foods hot and cold ones cold to avoid the formation of airborne bugs. 2. Never let different food groups share cutting surfaces, knives, utensils or dish towels to avoid crosscontamination. Wash hands obsessively, especially after handling raw eggs, chicken or meat. 3. The only food that should be served pink is the watermelon. Meat, fish, fowl and mushrooms need to be cooked-through, but not incinerated. Burnt offerings can be carcinogenic, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;jerkâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;blackened Cajun.â&#x20AC;? 4. Refrigerate leftovers in airtight containers immediately after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finished eating. 5. Mustard, barbecue sauce and ketchup are safe, heat-forgiving condiments, while milk or egg-based ones (like mayo) are not. My patriotic contribu-

Navajo Peach Crisp 6 large, ripe peaches, peeled, sliced 1/4 cup cane sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup unbleached flour 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter 2 tablespoons walnuts or pecans, chopped A few drops almond extract tion includes a couple of Independence Day recipes with an explosion of flavors so divine your taste buds will surely salute them. Patriotic Potato Salad Ingredients: 2 pounds of red, white and blue potatoes (fingerlings, baby creamers or other waxy varieties)

1/2 red onion, diced 1/3 cup black olives, sliced 1/2 red pepper, diced 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup champagne vinegar 1 teaspoon spicy mustard Sea salt, cumin and cayenne pepper to taste

Method: Boil the potatoes in their jackets until soft but firm. Cool. Cut into bitesize pieces. In a large bowl, combine the spuds and veggies. In another bowl whisk the oil, vinegar, mustard and spices. Toss a desired amount of the dressing into the potato mixture, blend well. Refrigerate. Safe to deploy outdoors for several hours. Method: Preheat oven to 375Â° F. In a 2-quart baking dish toss the peaches with cane sugar, cinnamon and almond extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Crumble butter into coarse chunks and add to the flour/sugar. Sprinkle mixture over the peaches and top with nuts. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. If near the homefront, serve with tri-colored frozen treats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; strawberry, vanilla bean and blueberry or other funky blue hue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sorbets, gelatos, soy, rice or coconut milks.

Artists commissioned to add ‘fun’ to MRI room at children’s hospital BY EMILY DERUY Contributor A trip to the hospital can be daunting, but for children, the prospect can be downright scary. To ease their fears, Rady Children’s Hospital of San Diego turned to art. In 2009, Aesthetics Inc. commissioned fine artists Ken and Stephanie Goldman to create 18 wall coverings for the newly renovated Rady Children’s Hospital. The husbandand-wife team was charged with transforming patient rooms, corridors, and the neonatal intensive care unit, into whimsical and “fun” spaces. To that end, the pair painted outdoor scenes, featuring everything from tide pools to outer space, using transparent watercolors on Arches watercolor paper and non-water soluble ink pen that were then enlarged seven or eight times. It was not the first time the couple worked together. In the mid1980s, Stephanie completed an apprenticeship with Ken that then evolved into a marriage and artistic partnership. Ken has authored seven instructional books and exhibited across the United States, Europe and Mexico. His

Ken and Stephanie Goldman work is displayed in the permanent collections of numerous museums, including the San Diego Museum of Fine Art, and the San Diego Museum of Natural History. Stephanie spent time living and studying in Europe, focusing on European and Renaissance art, as well as anthroposophic art therapy. Her child portrait series, “I Am A Child,” originally displayed in the Riverside Art Museum, is now in the permanent collection of the Osteopathic Center for Children and Families in San Diego. Both Goldmans teach at the Athenaeum School

of the Arts in La Jolla. They often collaborate, and have produced multiple large-scale mural projects, including works at the San Diego Humane Society and in private residences. Reaction to their mural work at Rady has been overwhelmingly positive, and this year, the couple was asked by Sharp and Children’s MRI Center CEO Keith Prince to complete a series of murals and cartoon vignettes in Rady’s new MRI Center. A child’s toy table with sea animals provided the inspiration for the art. “When I described the

theme and design ideas, they seemed to be very interested in conveying and developing the theme,” said Prince of the Goldmans. “They quickly provided renderings that matched the ideas we discussed. It was impressive how close the renderings were to the concepts.” Atypical of the art Ken and Stephanie usually produce, the murals feature cartoon images of sea life, and are intended to look like a seascape as viewed from a submarine — in this case, the MRI scanner. Completed three days early in a total of eight days, the MRI room mural is 9 feet by 19 feet, while the waiting room mural is 4 feet by 8 feet. Featuring colorful fish and scubadiving children, the murals are upbeat and fun. The pair also painted approximately 30 smaller vignettes throughout the rooms, and four small images directly onto the MRI scanner. Like the artwork the couple previously completed for the hospital, the

The MRI machine studies were originally done in watercolor and then scaled to fit the walls. The final works were done in acrylic, without airbrush or spray guns, due to potential interference with the MRI machine. When asked why two award-winning artists who have exhibited works internationally would devote time to painting cartoon images at Rady, Ken’s answer was simple: “Being able to bring artwork to kids who are frightened and need brightening up in a sterile environment was a great opportunity.”

If the young patients who have seen the murals and vignettes so far are any indication, the Goldmans have succeeded. Children enter the room and immediately investigate the underwater scenes, pronouncing them “cool” and “fun.” Some have even developed stories for the creatures they see on the walls, a perfect distraction from what for many of the kids is a litany of medical procedures and tests.

Cal Coast Academy relocates school campus from Solana Beach to Del Mar In a move to accommodate its flourishing student enrollment, Cal Coast Academy is trading in its long-standing Solana Beach zip code for a new 21st century campus located in the city of Del Mar. “As our unparalleled academic model continues to be the quintessential solution to traditional schooling and our student enrollment continues to grow, we needed to find the prime facility in the optimal location for our evolving development,” states Cal Coast Academy’s Founder and Principal Jan Dunning. “This campus expansion will allow us to increase our student capacity as we simultaneously sharpen our focus and continually advance towards our educational vision.” The new school campus, which was scheduled to make its opening debut on Monday, June 27, is located at 445 Marine View Avenue, suite 105, in the Timbers

Building. The facility will accommodate the school’s current population and enable further development for the school’s future growth. “With our 2011-2012 student enrollment numbers nearing maximum capacity, we have already begun discussing adding additional square footage onto our new campus site,” says Dunning. The new 3,000-square-foot Del Mar campus boasts a student computer lab, virtual learning, a library, substantial classrooms and world-class technology. Upon campus construction completion, each one of the eight classrooms will be fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as smart boards, video conferencing, and data/video projectors. To learn more about Cal Coast Academy, call 858-481-0882 or visit www.calcoastacademy.com.

FREE report reveals 3 easy steps Carmel Valley resident used to accidently lose 21 lbs in 42 days Carmel Valley--After failing to lose weight through calorie counting and exercise, Diana Gordon was at wits end. She gave up hoping for a beach body, believing she had the wrong body type. It wasn’t until her husband Rob convinced her to do things differently that she began to see real results. 42 days later, she was down 21 lbs and estimates she increased her productivity at work 35%. Diana says she followed the plan to get her husband off her back. She calls it her accidental weight loss. She’s never felt better. Diana’s results are very normal for this program. We see people losing anywhere from ½ to 2 lbs per day following these 3 easy steps, says Rob. The problem with most diets is they teach our bodies to gain weight by trying to use will power to avoid foods. Studies have shown up to 97% of dieters regain their lost weight plus add another 10% over a 3-year period thanks to diets signaling our bodies to go into starvation mode which causes us to store food as fat. Rob’s easy, 3-step plan retrains our bodies to burn fat instead of store it. In fact, Rob admits most people can’t lose weight because they are working too hard and being too strict

Our bodies naturally want to be lean, but we work really hard through dieting and intense exercise to teach our bodies to store fat, and that’s why I’ve created my easy, 3 step plan to reveal the truth about weight loss, says Rob. Rob learned these insider secrets after years spent working in the fitness industry. Rob will give his report away free to the first 101 people to call his free-recorded message at 858-997-1293 It costs a lot for me to produce my program so I can only give away 101 of them and I only want it going to people who have struggled to lose weight and need a simple, fast solution to get there. Rob does not believe in overnight weight loss, diet pills, or gimmicks…just real strategies and real results.

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

Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Del Mar real estate. 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.delmartimes.net searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 99 countries in March, 2011, and generated 18,519 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily foreign visitors come from the United Kingdom, Canada, India,

To reach foreign investors, be sure your agent has a well-developed marketing plan To sell your home or estate quickly and for the most money possible, a thorough marketing plan is a must. So make sure your agent’s plan includes: Q Proper “staging” of your homeand property. Q Showcasing your home or listing in the local paper—like The Times. Q Holding open houses, including

“broker previews”. Q Adding your home to the local multiple listing service so buyers and agents will see it. Q Preparing and sending brochures or well designed flyers to potential buyers. Q Using Internet advertising such as www.delmartimes.net, which attracts tens of thousands of readers monthly from 99 countries worldwide. With a fully developed marketing plan, your agent is prepared to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.

How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market

Australia, the Philippines, and China. Yes, the countries with the largest numbers of foreign investors, looking for Del Mar real estate. And those investors also work with local agents intimately familiar with the Del Mar market. And those agents are not only looking online, they’re reading the The Times because it has far more local Del Mar listings than any other paper in town. So to maximize your home or estate’s exposure, it’s important your agent is using a dual track: 1) showcasing your home or estate with ads on www.delmartimes.net and, 2) running ads and listings in the The Times.

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 Del Mar 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. Del Mar real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, Del Mar real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.

1. The site daily attracts its most unique foreign visitors from:

1. The paper is hand delivered by the US Post Ofﬁce to 7,460 Del Mar homes each week.

La Jolla Playhouse stages adaptation of Ibsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Peer Gyntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor When Henrik Ibsen released â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peer Gyntâ&#x20AC;? in 1867, he thought his play was so bizarre that it would never be performed. The plot involves Peer, a man who both swindles and charms his way through life looking for fame and fortune, but who has dreams of becoming a troll that are very real to him. Now, 144 years later, the infamous work is still being staged, as La Jolla Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version (a coproduction with the Kansas City Repertory Theatre) runs through July 24 at the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre. Director and â&#x20AC;&#x153;adaptorâ&#x20AC;? David Schweizer (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tobacco Roadâ&#x20AC;?) began directing right out of college. His repertoire includes everything from operas to casino shows, as well as national and international theatrical productions staged regionally and OffBroadway. His direction of the 2000 Broadway hit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And God Created Great

Henrik Ibsen Henrik Ibsen (1828â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1906) was a Norwegian playwright, director, and poet He is often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the fatherâ&#x20AC;? of modern theater and the greatest playwright since Shakespeare. His works include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brand,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peer Gynt,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Enemy of the People,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Emperor and Galilean,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Dollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hedda Gabler,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghosts,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wild Duck,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rosmersholm.â&#x20AC;? Whales,â&#x20AC;? won an OBIE Award. Schweizer did an earlier adaptation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peer Gyntâ&#x20AC;? for international au-

diences, but made minor changes for the Playhouse show. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peer Gyntâ&#x20AC;? is a sweeping epic with five actors playing 40 characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fell in love with the piece as young man,â&#x20AC;? Schweizer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I hit upon the idea of doing it with just a couple of actors as the storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40 odd characters. That first showing in the 1970s came to the attention of Joseph Papp and launched me into theater. Papp became my mentor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My translation of Ibsen is quite faithful in that all of events and incidents are directly those in play. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made up anything or created scenes, but when his language would get playful and colloquial, I found modern equivalents for that. Audiences know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an older play, but that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought into the moment, and hopefully, it has a timeless quality.â&#x20AC;? In a press release touting the production, Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schweizer has taken Ib-

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Peer Gyntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cast senâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epic tale of one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search for identity and made it funny, unexpected and completely relevant to our contemporary lives.â&#x20AC;? Schweizer said Ibsen was a writer who challenged what you could do in the theater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a way that weaves real scenes and dream scenes, and plays with different tones that are highly emotionally butted up against scenes that are hilarious and almost vaudevillian.â&#x20AC;? Directing five actors in 40 different roles is a challenge for all involved in the process, so Schweizer said he relies on skilled and charming actors who want to watch and savor the task of the play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They bring an enormous amount of ideas to rehearsals, and of course, I have to come equipped

with ways to help them and share the vision of how the different characters will register on stage and what kind of tone is right for the scene.â&#x20AC;? He called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peer Gyntâ&#x20AC;? surprising and entertaining, with an epiphany ending thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very positive and emotional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very conscious of an audience taking away a boon to their spirit. I have a lot of love for the audience, they have been my friends all my life,â&#x20AC;? Schweizer said. The cast includes Danny Gavigan (Peer Gynt, Buttonmoulder and others); Birgit Huppuch (Ase, Solveig and others); Luis Moreno (Peer Gynt, Troll King and others); Kate Cullen Roberts (Ingrid, Anitra and others); and Evan Zes (as Peer Gynt,
