Golfer Jamie Lovemark riding high on the comeback trail BY GIDEON RUBIN As a youth up-and-comer at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, Jamie Lovemark made fans quick. It didn’t hurt, of course, that by the time he was 12, Lovemark made the junior golf circuit look ridiculously easy. “We knew from a very young age it looked he was going to be something special and he turned out he was awfully good,” Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club Pro Emeritus Chuck Courtney said of Lovemark. “He was more or less a prodigy.” But that wasn’t the only reason he stood out. In an area that routinely turns out some of the nation’s best golfers, it was other qualities that got Ran-
Another break-in occurs at Solana Santa Fe School BY R. STICKNEY, NBC NEWS SAN DIEGO Solana Santa Fe Elementary School was targeted by thieves for the second time in three weeks. San Diego County sheriff’s deputies arrived at Solana Santa Fe School in Rancho Santa Fe around 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 2. When deputies arrived at the school on El Apajo there were signs of a breakin but deputies didn’t find any suspects. They called in a K-9 unit to search the area with no results. It’s not known what was taken or the amount of the loss, deputies said. On July 11, equipment was stolen from the same school. Friday’s incident marks the fifth in a string of school burglaries in the area in five weeks. See SCHOOL, page 16

More than $5 million in artwork and jewelry stolen from Rancho Santa Fe home Sometime between 9 p.m. on June 17 and 6 a.m. on June 18, unknown suspects entered a home in Rancho Santa Fe and stole jewelry, paintings and other pieces of artwork valued in excess of $5 million, according to detectives. San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s Encinitas station are asking for assistance from the public to help identify and locate the suspects wanted in connection with the burglary. There were 11 paintings from various artists, one Monet print and one Pissarro print stolen, all valued at more than $1 million, as well as four very elaborate gold, tourmaline, diamond, cabochon, citrine necklace and bracelet sets valued at approximately $100,000 per set. Also stolen were Chinese sculptures, but the majority of the artwork taken were sculptures by Andreas von Zadora Gerlof. A total of 20 pieces were stolen, valued at more than $3 million.

Nazi hunter speaks in RSF on the continuing importance of putting Nazi war criminals on trial BY JOE TASH Efraim Zuroff, perhaps the world’s foremost Nazi hunter, said he’s often asked why he continues to vigorously pursue Nazi war criminals nearly 70 years after the end of World War II. “The passage of time in no way diminishes the guilt of the killers,” said Zuroff. “Every one of the victims deserves that an effort be made to find their killers.” Zuroff lectured about his career as a Nazi hunter and current efforts to track down elusive Nazi war criminals at a July 30 event sponsored by the Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe. The lecture and reception were held at the home of Rancho Santa Fe residents Andrew and Diana Benedek. Even though the suspects are in their late ‘80s and ‘90s and many are in poor health, Zuroff said it is still important to put them on trial for their alleged

County suicide, prescription drug death rates up BY KAREN BILLING For the second year in a row deaths due to suicide and prescription drug overdoses were at record highs in San Diego County in 2012, according to a report released by the San Diego County Medical Examiner on July 23. The county recorded a record number of suicides, 413, and a suicide rate that rose for the sixth year in a row. The suicide rate is 13.1 per 100,000 people — the highest the county has ever recorded was in 1993 when the suicide rate was 14.5. The disturbing trend of prescription drug-related deaths also continued to rise, from 267 in 2011 to 269 in 2012. “Our office investigates every non-natural death in San Diego and, tragically, many of these deaths are preventable,” Chief Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Jonathan Lucas said in a statement. “The report reveals some of the serious issues and behaviors affecting San Diego County residents and visitors.”
Excluding alcohol, methamphetamine is still the number one cause of drug-related deaths for the population as a whole. Meth was linked to 142 deaths in 2012 and was the most common substance in accidental overdose deaths between ages 40 and 69 years old. The most common drug in accidental overdoses in people ages 20 to 29 is heroin, a drug that has maintained a yearly increase since 2007. Tom Lenox, supervisory special agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), said there is a link between prescription drugs and the increase in heroin deaths. “When people have an inability to get access to painkillers, they are turning to heroin as a substitute. We’re seeing that everywhere,” Lenox said. Lenox said when users are unable to access painkillers, they use the cheaper

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Director of UCSD stem cell program says research field is at the ‘beginning of a revolution in science and medicine’ BY JOE TASH When Larry Goldstein imagines the potential of modern stem cell science, he is reminded of a scene from the 1967 Academy Award-winning film “The Graduate,” starring Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft. Hoffman’s character, a recent college graduate named Benjamin Braddock, is chatting with an older man at a cocktail party. “I just want to say one word to you…just one word… plastics,” the man tells Benjamin. Goldstein, 57, a local resident and head of one of the nation’s premier stem cell research labs, sees a vast upside to his chosen field of research in terms of scientific advancement, treatment of devastating diseases, and economic prosperity, similar to the character’s prediction for plastics. “We’re at the beginning of a revolution in science and medicine,” said Goldstein. “What’s the hot business going forward? Man, it’s biological plastics. They can replenish themselves, you can make them do things, you can build stuff. It’s incredible.” “It’s not unrealistic to think that over the course of the next several decades, that artificial organs will be built of materials made from stem cells, either fully or in part,” he said. Goldstein wears two official hats – director of the UC San Diego stem cell program, and scientific director of the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine. As Goldstein explained it, his role with UCSD is to facilitate and remove barriers for investigators working on a number of different stem cell-related projects, while his work with the Sanford Consortium involves coordination with scientists from a number of different research institutions on Torrey Pines Mesa. He also co-founded a biotech company, Cytokinetics, which is developing drugs based on stem cell science. In an interview in his Sanford Consortium office, a glass-walled rectangle overlooking the Torrey Pines Gliderport, Goldstein talked about his work, advancements in
Dr. Larry Goldstein stem cell research, and his views on higher education. One of his jobs, as he sees it, is to communicate clearly and accessibly about the work of stem cell scientists. With that in mind, he wrote “Stem Cells for Dummies,” a primer on the field, with journalist Meg Schneider, published in 2010. While he regrets the title – “I’d prefer ‘Stem Cells for Smart People Who Want to Know More’” — he is proud of the book, which provides thorough explanations of the different types of stem cells, how they
work, how they can affect the future and other topics. The primary types of stem cells, said Goldstein, are embryonic, adult, and re-programmed. Each type of stem cell has its place in the research going on in Goldstein’s lab, which is conducting a range of experiments, such as seeking to understand what goes wrong in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, and developing a means of stem cell transplantation to treat ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, he said. Researchers are also studying a rare childhood disease called Niemann Pick Type C, a fatal neurological condition that affects children. Embryonic stem cells are found in an early stage of the human embryo called the blastocyst, and have the ability to form any cell in the adult human body, from brain to liver to skin to bone, according to Goldstein. The can also grow indefinitely in the lab, providing material for researchers, and cells for potential treatments. The use of embryon-
ic stem cells in research is controversial, because the blastocyst – a ball of 100200 cells – is destroyed. About a million blastocysts – created during fertility treatments – are stored in freezers around the world, more than enough for researchers to work with, Goldstein said. Adult stem cells can replicate themselves, and also generate specific types of tissue, such as skin, blood and various organs. Finally, scientists have discovered ways to “reprogram” adult stem cells so they regain their “pluripotency,” or ability to generate different types of stem cells. Goldstein likened the different types of stem cells to tools in a scientist’s tool box, and said researchers must select the right tool for the job they are doing. Along with his research hat, Goldstein mentors students as they assist in research projects in his lab. An alumnus of UCSD, Goldstein spoke of being hugely influenced when one of his professors allowed him to work in the lab as an under-
grad. “I discovered something I was excited about, that I was passionate about, that I was good at and could devote my life to,” he said. His work with students, then, is an effort to “pay it forward,” by helping inspire the next generation of scientists. One-on-one contact between students and professors is essential to the learning process, he said, adding that he is deeply skeptical of the value of large-scale lecture courses attended by dozens, or hundreds of students. He advocates an overhaul of the educational system, which he concedes will require hiring more faculty. But he insisted such an approach will yield a higher quality educational outcome. “I’m kind of a radical on this. Every single undergraduate student at UCSD ought to write a senior thesis or project… that really is a multi-year investigation with faculty involvement and supervision,” he said.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
RSF resident’s new company brings retired physicians back into practice to address country’s doctor shortage BY KAREN BILLING Longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident and retired physician Dr. Leonard Glass is a leading founder of the new company Physician Retraining and Reentry (PRR), which strives to address a growing doctor shortage in this country by getting retired physicians back into practice. Along with Dr. Stanley Pappelbaum, Glass created the educational platform of PRR in collaboration with UC San Diego Medical School. “We take retired doctors of any speciality, including surgery, and retrain them to do adult outpatient family medicine and we do it all online,” Glass said. “It’s never been done before.” The program has only been live for a couple of days and they have had two retired physicians in their 70s sign up, a retired plastic surgeon and a retired neurosurgeon. By taking the course, Glass said retired doctors can help solve a very serious problem in the national healthcare delivery system; get back to helping take care of people; and earn a modest financial boost for their retirement nest egg. Glass, 78, has been a Rancho Santa Fe resident since 1981. A native of Maryland, he attended University of Maryland Medical School and completed his general surgery residency there. He then spent two years in Vietnam as an Army Captain and as a surgeon in the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH). Glass went to the University of Michigan and studied plastic and reconstructive surgery and then worked for UC San Diego for most of the 1990s. Before and after that he worked in private practice as a plastic surgeon before retiring in 2005. Glass said he spent the first part of his retirement resting and enjoying different hobbies until about three years ago when he read an intriguing article in the Wall Street Journal about a shortage of family doctors.
“The article said — and I have since validated its information — there was a shortage of 33,000 family doctors,” Glass said. “Now, with the Affordable Healthcare Act, that puts another 32 million people who previously had no insurance into the network looking for doctors. Every day, 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare. If you add the normal attrition to that 33,000 deficit and Baby Boomers and affordable healthcare, the thinking is that within 10 years the deficit could well double to 65,000 doctors and no one knows what to do about it.”
Glass started to think about a potential solution and spent the next few years really perfecting it. A dedicated problem solver, Glass said, “You have to think ahead, you can’t keep looking in the rearview mirror.” In collaboration with UCSD, PRR has worked on developing its curriculum for the last two and a half years. Two national figures in teaching and practicing family medicine, doctors and UCSD professors William Norcross and David Bazzo designed the curriculum of educational material, exams and a standardized patient competence assessment. Glass said the result is a “terrific” program and an “excellent” testing system. Normally the method to change specialties takes about three years and thousands of dollars. “We don’t think that’s necessary because we’re dealing with seasoned physicians who understand patients and disease processes and can be trained online in a matter of months,” Glass said. Additionally, other retraining services simply bring physicians up to date in the speciality they retired from but PRR can take any doctor — no matter what field of practice —and update their skills to allow them to return to practice in the specialty of primary care. With their curriculum, physicians can go at their own pace, taking anywhere from two months to a year to complete the course.
“We think there’s tens of thousands of retired physicians out there,” Glass said. “There’s an excess sitting around twiddling their thumbs and playing too much golf. This is an opportunity to do something exciting, enjoyable, helping those in need and solving a national healthcare crisis.” Glass said they are in the process of setting up a placement division to help get jobs that are geographically desirable for the retrained physicians, as well as play to their priorities which include part time, no administrative duties and no nights or weekend call responsibilities. “Some might say, ‘Who will hire them?’ But not many people know there are 7,000 federally funded community clinics now in the United States seeing about 20 million patients a year,” Glass said. “They all need doctors.” Glass said there is also need for doctors in medical schools, college and university health clinics, VA facilities, hospital-assembled primary care groups, and retail providers such as CVS and Walgreens. Glass hopes PRR will help do its part to create that link between the thousands of retired doctors and the current shortage that is only growing. “I hope that our company can achieve so much success that nationally others will copy us,” Glass said. “I think that will happen.” To learn more, visit www.prrprogram. com.

Q&A: Shakespeare expert Barry Edelstein directs the magic at Old Globe Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein is a stage director, producer, author and educator. Recognized as one of the leading Shakespeare authorities in the United States, he has directed nearly half of the Bard’s works. As Director of the Shakespeare Initiative at The Public Theater (2008-2012), he oversaw all of the company’s Shakespearean productions, as well as its educational, community outreach and artisttraining programs. He was also associate producer of The Public’s Broadway production of “The Merchant of Venice,” starring Al Pacino. He was artistic director of Off-Broadway’s Classic Stage Company, 1998-2003. Edelstein’s Shakespearean directorial credits include “The Winter’s Tale,’ “Timon of Athens,” “As You Like It,” and “Richard III.” His additional credits include the awardwinning revival of “All My Sons”; the world premiere of Steve Martin’s “The Underpants,” which he commissioned; Molière’s “The Misanthrope”; and the world premiere “The Twenty-Seventh Man.” His book, “Thinking Shakespeare” (called by New York magazine “a must-read for actors”) is now the standard text on American Shakespearean acting. He is also the author of “Bardisms: Shakespeare for All Occasions.” What brought you to San Diego? The opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to run The Old Globe, one of the great American theaters. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I’d make access to Balboa Park easier. The Globe and the 27 other arts and cultural institutions in the historic core of the Park are an urban resource unparalleled in the United States. It kills me when I hear San Diegans say that they don’t use that resource because of something as silly — and to me, fixable — as parking. I’m convinced that if San Diego were to make Balboa Park access a priority, all the huge brains in town would figure it out. Who or what inspires you? My children are daily inspirations. In the past half-year my daughter, who’s six, got a new sibling, a new city, a new home, and a new school. And she handled all that change with a kind of grace and aplomb that my wife and I can only hope to emulate. My family’s support for what I do makes it possible for me to do it, and sends me to work every day inspired to be the best person and the best artist I can be. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I assume my wife is there; add to that four boys and four girls: John Heminges and Henry Condell, the actors in Shakespeare’s theater company, who gathered his plays for publication in one volume for the first time. I have a zillion questions about Shakespeare that they could answer better than anyone; Philip Roth, my favorite author and hilarious; Bruce Springsteen, for obvious reasons; Hilary Clinton, the most interesting figure in contemporary politics and, apparently, awesome at a dinner party; Hallie Flanagan Davis, the godmother of the American institutional theater movement; Anne Hathaway (Shakespeare’s wife, not the actress: although I’ve had dinner with the latter and she’s great); and my grandmother, Tillie, whom I miss, and who would love that party. What are you currently reading? I have about 40 plays on my iPad and I’m always in the middle of three or four at a time. These are plays I want to produce at the Globe or plays by writers whose work I want and need to know. They leave me little time to read for pleasure, but also on my iPad I have “1948” by the recently deceased Israeli novelist Yoram Kaniuk. It’s a memoir of his time fighting for Israeli independence, but it’s much more than that. Kaniuk is impossible to describe in a sentence, but to me his writing is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to jazz music in literary form. Amazing. What is it that you most dislike? Hypocrisy. Makes my blood boil. What is your most-prized possession?
Barry Edelstein My wife and I have a policy that for each new thing we bring into our house, we get rid of one old thing. It’s not a philosophical idea, it’s survival: When you live in a small New York apartment, as we did for a very long time, there’s just no space. Clutter is the enemy. So you have to take drastic measures. But the last thing I’d ditch is an 1804 facsimile copy of the “Shakespeare First Folio.” By that date, the original, printed in 1623, was already a rarity and a very expensive item only for collectors. So a London publisher put out a modern duplicate: the first time that book was made widely available to general readers. It was given me by the Board of Classic Stage Company, the Off Broadway theater I used to run. I treasure it. What do you do for fun? Play with my kids. Nothing in the universe makes me happier than the sounds of their laughter. What is your motto or philosophy of life? When we got engaged, my wife gave me a card that said, “Every blade of grass has an Angel hovering over it, whispering ‘Grow, grow.’” It’s a quote from the Talmud. And it’s what our marriage has been about for 10 years. We all need that encouragement: someone to whisper in our ear, “Grow.” And we all should whisper it to others. What would be your dream vacation? Six months to travel the world’s great theater cities, watching the best artists transport me to unknown worlds.

Del Mar is known for some of the County’s most expensive real estate. This is the largest residential sale in San Diego County in over five years, and Jason and Catherine said they believe this represents a positive indicator for the upper-end market.
Well on Osuna Ranch to be repaired BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved an $8,000 funding request at its Aug. 1 meeting to clean and repair a well on the Osuna Ranch. The well clogged and failed in May and the pump was shut down. An inspection showed that the well hadn’t been cleaned in over 20 years, according to Daria Quay, ranch manager. Well water is used to irrigate all the open space, pastures and turn-outs, and is also used by drinking water for the horses living in the paddocks and back barn. The Osuna has two wells, one on the lower pasture that pumps water up the hill to a holding tank. The second, upper well that is in need of cleaning and repair is located in a small turn-out by the main barn off Via de Santa Fe. “The Ranch is currently doing OK with just the one well but the pump is running 24/7 in order to pump water up the hill so our electricity bill is high,� Quay said.
RSF Association staff to meet with race organizers Aug. 14 BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association staff will meet with event organizers on Aug. 14 to create a better partnership when it comes to running and cycling events that use Covenant roads as their course routes. The meeting will be held at the RSF Garden Club at a time to be determined. In April, after more than 800 riders came through Rancho Santa Fe on a Tour de Cure cycling event, the board sent a letter to the county requesting that applications for races through Rancho Santa Fe be submitted three to six months before any event, and for the RSF Association to be notified as soon as applications for events are received by the county so the RSF Association can help coordinate routes and planning. The letter stated the RSF Association’s intent to have more input on potential routes, not only for the sake of impact on local residents but also to ensure the safest passage for participants. RSF Association Assistant Manager Ivan Holler said that at the Aug. 14 meeting they will discuss with race organizers ways they can improve advance notice and how routes are chosen.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
The Spa at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe opens, offers unique services BY KAREN BILLING A day spa is now one of the many amenities offered at the newly renovated The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. The Spa at The Inn opened officially on July 12 and on its very first day a bridal party gave the facility a test-run. Spa Director Brenda Martin said a successful opening weekend followed, with a good mix of both out-of-town guests and residents. “I think it completes the experience,” Martin said of the addition of The Spa, a feature that The Inn never had before. She said more travelers these days are looking for a spa at their hotels as a place to relax on vacation or get some much-needed pampering. For locals it becomes a nice amenity right in their backyard to come with friends or to unwind on their own. Planning for The Spa began last year when JMI Realty purchased The Inn for $28 million. The owners infused $12 million into the hotel to restore its luster, blending tradition with upscale amenities. The update included renovated rooms, new furniture throughout, a new entrance, refreshed lawn landscaping and the new Morada restaurant, which opened in July. The 3,000-square-foot spa took over space that was formerly offices and three hotel rooms. It has its own private entrance behind the hotel lobby. The Spa has five treatment rooms, one of them a couple’s suite. In a separate area off The Spa lobby there are four nail stations; two for manicures and two for pedicures. Visitors await treatments in two co-ed spaces — one indoor and one outdoor. Inside is a fireplace filled with candles, tufted couches and relaxing chaise lounges with complimentary fruit, tea and spa waters, such as cucumber mint. On the outdoor patio there are loungers, cabanas and places to enjoy a lunch. Men’s and women’s locker rooms are stocked with Frette luxury Italian linen towels and cozy robes, as well as all the toiletries and Privé Hair product you could ever need. Currently there are 12 massage therapists, aestheticians and nail technicians on staff. It’s a small staff for an intimate setting that Martin promises will never feel crowded or impersonal. Martin has experience being the opening director of a new spa — she moved to San Diego from Las Vegas in 2007 to open the spa at The Grand Del Mar and was there until 2011 when she became the spa director at Paradise Point Resort and Spa at Mission Bay. Martin said they have done an amazing job with The Inn’s spa. “I feel like this is going to have to be the end of my spa career because nothing can compare to it,” Martin said.
The Spa at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe opened on July 12. Courtesy photo Instead of having a really big treatment menu with too many options that can overwhelm, Martin said they kept the core menu really simple with Swedish, deep tissue, men’s and maternity massage. The Country Blend Massage uses both warm stones and healing hands. With facials, the Nostalgia facial is “luxuriously powerful,” combining antiaging technology that produces immediate results with serums and creamy moisturizers. The facial uses the NuFACE micro-current facial toning device, which adds a visible lift, photo light therapy softens lines and plumps the skin, and a decadent French Carita scrub made with macerated sunflower seeds and sweet almond oil that eliminates
impurities and softens, nourishes and vitalizes. “As we designed each treatment what we kept going back to was asking what the purpose was for it. We wanted everything to be purposeful,” Martin said. As an example, with the Rancher Massage for men they kept in mind that men tend to be tighter in their hamstrings and legs. Martin said a typical massage starts at the neck, shoulders and back, and then moves to the legs, which can cause the neck to tense up again as a therapist works on those tight areas, undoing all the work they just did. Martin said when they created the protocol for the massage, they ensure that therapists start at the feet and work their way up to relieve tension in shoulders and back. Understanding that hair loss is an issue for many men, they also included nettle oil in the scalp massage as nettle stimulates hair growth. “What makes us stand out is that we really thought about everything and how to make it purposeful,” Martin said. “I think The Spa is very different in this way.”
Four times a year The Spa will have a menu shake up with seasonal menu items, “from the Ranch,” “From the Grove,” and “From the Coast.” With the seasonal menu, Martin said they took a hint from the restaurant Morada, using the same “farm to table,” local and fresh philosophy. “We will have what’s indigenous, fresh, what’s happening right now,” Martin said, noting, as examples, an orange blossom facial and an aloe and emu oil wrap that combats pain from sunburn or exhaustion from the summer heat. On the current seasonal menu is a watermelon-basil manicure and pedicure, which includes a sparkling citrus soak for your skin, a watermelon basil and vodka sugar scrub, and a freshwhipped shea butter massage with live strawberry fruit cells. Guests who opt for this treatment get a watermelon cocktail to enjoy during their pampering. The Spa is now offering a day spa package, which includes the choice of any two 60- minute massage or facial treatments, lunch for one in the outdoor spa courtyard and complimentary access to The Inn’s private pool and fitness area. To book a package or treatment, visit theinnatrsf.com or call (858) 381-8255. The Spa is open Monday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Presentation to highlight how domestic violence survivors ‘Leap to Success’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Ruth Batton was taken to a secluded area in Kansas City, Mo., and shot at several times. The mother of two had been in a loving relationship for four years before her boyfriend became physically and emotionally abusive. “He took me up into the mountains and would tell me he could kill me out there and they wouldn’t find me until spring,” Batton, 58, said. Because of the empowerment and leadership training she received through Leap to Success, Batton now speaks about her experience with domestic violence to encourage other women to seek help. Representatives from the organization will share how Leap to Success is helping victims like Batton during a presentation Aug. 19 at the Del Mar Community Building. “I’m a survivor,” Batton said. “Any woman that comes out has to be strong. I’ve had to be strong to even live through it. But you don’t realize that. At the time, you feel like nothing because that’s what you hear. Leap to Success helped me dig inside me and pull me back out.” Through Leap to Success’ Transformation Leadership program, Batton learned how to speak about her experience. “At the beginning, I was terrified,” said Batton, a San Diego native. “I felt shame that I even went through such a thing. I felt weak because I didn’t get out of it sooner. A lot of emotions came through. “Now I can speak of it with power. This is what I’ve been through; this is not me. It doesn’t define me.” The Transformation Leadership program helped Batton build confidence and public speaking skills. The program also helped with her job search and interview preparation. “I learned that I was worthy and that I was somebody,” Batton said. “We had a beautiful time building ourselves back up and learning to love ourselves. We had other women, also in the same boat that we were in, so we weren’t alone.” Leap to Success launched in 2008. Founder Dana Bristol-Smith noticed women who gained public speaking skills through her company Speak for Success were often promoted at their jobs. “That led me to work with domestic violence survivors

— women who have lost their voice, and as a result, lost their way in life,” said BristolSmith, who lives in Oceanside. In partnership with the San Diego Family Justice Center and YWCA of San Diego County, Bristol-Smith tested the professional development program she designed with domestic violence survivors in 2008. Fewer than 10 people participated in the pilot program. “We saw that there was a huge need for this kind of program for women who were rebuilding their lives,” Bristol-Smith said. “I was incredibly amazed how wonderfully well the women did who went through the program. It not only changed how they felt abut themselves, but it really changed their whole lives.” Today, Leap to Success provides support and training to more than 100 women per year through its six-week Leap to Confidence program and yearlong Transformation Leadership

program. With the support and skills she gained from the program, Batton now works as a caregiver and is a few classes away from earning her master’s degree in behavioral science. She has opened her home to other victims of domestic violence and is caring for four children. Batton hopes to one day open a shelter for women who have been affected by domestic violence. “Leap to Success is important because women that have taken the step to leave a domestic violence situation are very fragile and they need support,” Batton said. “A woman without support is a woman that will possibly fail. If she fails, she’ll end up going back.” Bristol-Smith and Lauraine Brekke-Esparza, former Del Mar city manager and Leap to Success board member, will lead the presentation from 10 a.m. -11:30 a.m. on Aug. 19 at the Del Mar Community Building, located at 225 9th St., Del Mar.

It’s hockey on horseback! San Diego Polo Club resumes season with Hawaiian-themed tailgate party BY ASHLEY MACKIN The San Diego Polo Club, home to one of the oldest organized sports in San Diego and now based in Rancho Santa Fe, will resume its 2013 Season on Aug. 18. Local resident Lorraine Slack, who has strong family ties to the Club, said she will be at the games because watching polo is “more fun than even the races at Del Mar.” The typical season runs June 9-Sept. 29, with players taking a break July 21-Aug. 18. Slack attended the July 21 game, which she called “riveting,” especially because the score kept getting tied. “It was two to two, then one side would score and the other side would catch up, four to four, eight to eight,” she said excitedly. The game eventually ended with a playoff. Slack’s nephew, Ron Bonaguidi, was named founder of the club when it changed its name to the San Diego Polo Club in 1995. Prior to that, it was known as the Rancho Santa Fe Polo Club. Ron’s wife, Krista, is a polo player. But that doesn’t begin to cover the history of the club. In its annual publication, “San Diego Polo” (2013 edition), its legacy is chronicled. In 1906, John D. Spreckels organized the first major polo tournament in California. Playing in Coronado (at the Spreckels’-founded Coronado Country Club), Spreckels flew in English Lords to play the American team. The Coronado Country Club attracted skilled players and viewers alike, and soon had three polo fields. The polo club moved to its current location in Rancho Santa Fe in 1987, where it now has more than 60 members, who play each other during weekly tournaments. It continues to draw talented players, like Krista Bonaguidi. “From a player’s perspective, the appeal (of polo) is the competition on the fields and above that, it’s the horses,” she said. “For me, it’s all about the horses. They are amazing animals and it’s really interesting that especially with the game of polo, the horses tend to be very competitive. The horses I play on love to play; you can tell. They follow the ball. When the umpires blow the whistle, my horses stop. They know the rules better than some players on the field.” Krista added that the horses add to the thrill of the game because “it’s not just watching an athlete make an amazing shot, it’s watching a player moving 30 miles an hour on top of an animal making that shot.” That, in addition to history

Polo 101 • The word polo is derived from the Tibetan word “pulu,” which means ball. • Polo is often referred to as hockey on horseback. • The object of the game is to hit the ball between the uprights (goal posts) at opposite ends of the fields. By doing so, a goal is scored. • A goal is worth one point and the team with the most goals scored at the end of the match is the winner. • Matches consist of either four or six, seven-minute chukkers (periods). • There is a break between each chukker, and a 10-minute break at halftime for the players to change horses. –Source: San Diego Polo 2013 edition • Polo is played in more than 60 countries and enjoyed by more than 50 million people each year. • Although they are not recognized as a distinct breed, polo ponies are truly unique horses that combine the traits of a number of breeds. In the United States, Thoroughbred horses are usually bred with Quarter horses to produce polo ponies. The Argentines cross Thoroughbred horses with their local Criollo horses. • Great polo history at: sportpolo.com. Photo above by Jon Clark of polo, makes attending a match as observer that much more fun, Krista said. The sport has worldwide roots. Early drawings, depicting what could be polo match, were found in Persia and dated 1546 AD. Slack said she heard that the game was once played in Egypt with human skulls as balls. The sport gained popularity in India, where modern rules were developed. When the

Writer’s Roundtable: Q&A with Schindler’s List author Thomas Keneally BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Best known for Schindler’s Ark, which American audiences know as Schindler’s List, Thomas Keneally is an Australian playwright and author of both fiction and nonfiction, who has won numerous accolades for his writing, among them the Mann Booker award. Considered to be a national treasure in Australia, Keneally will be introducing American audiences to his newest novel, The Daughters of Mars, this September. Here in San Diego you can meet him at Warwick’s on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 15. Recently, Mr. Keneally responded to a few questions about writing: 1. You write both fiction and non-fiction. For purposes of process, what do you find to be the commonality between the two; and what is the biggest difference? With fiction you can do what you wish, steal incidents from real life and give them fictional existence without attribution. With history you have to try to tell the truth based on the record, but on that record you can make psychological surmises about characters who really lived, so both history and fiction are character-driven. The best way I can explain it is that in fiction you try to tell the truth by telling lies, and in history, you try to tell the truth by telling the truth. But even in history it’s a matter of selection and the sort of person we are. 2. History and historical fiction seem to be your genres of choice. Why do these genres appeal to you? And you once said in an interview that historical fiction is most valid as it reflects on the present. Can you explain what you mean by that? Historical fiction is wonderful because one is driven to it by hearing, in a journal or biography, a voice that’s utterly modern. It’s that thrill of identifying someone in the past as if they were in the next room and not impossibly removed in time — that’s the kick I’m looking for. That’s, for example, what I heard from the nurses’ journals I read. And you can find events which reflect absolutely what’s happening now – crazy war, obscene trauma, the struggle of young women for status and the drive towards medical innovation under the pressure of frightful damage done to the flesh of young men. You might be writing about 1915, but the better way of
Thomas Keneally saying it is that history has permitted you to write about universal experience and the present through the lens of 1915, ‘16, ‘17, etc. 3. While you have been a prolific writer, the quality of your work has maintained. What keeps writing fresh for you? When you write you become ageless. It’s the same process for me as a 77 year old as it is for a 28 year old. It’s an experience I very much like. The bit I’m not addicted to is reading the proofs and finding the book is not as good as you thought. But then you can always write another one that hits the golden standard. So it’s a bit like being
a habitual gambler. You always believe that this time you’re going to really hammer it down. The experience of writing keeps you fresh and, one hopes, it confers that quality to the writing. 4. What is the common thread in your writing? There are always people separated by different cultures and conditioning in my novels. Well, not in absolutely all, but in most. Fraternity or love across the lines that have been drawn for us by demagogues and propagandists and ayatollahs. Schindler crosses that line, but it happens in other novels about Australian Aborigines or wars in Africa and so on. We are all subjected to conditioning when it comes to religion and culture and race, but I’m interested in the occasions we rise above the conditioning. I’m also fascinated by war and the overriding question – why we do it. We can explain it in terms of ambitions for territory and resources, but explaining why so many of us will sign on for the experience, as my father did in WWII – that’s very interesting. 5. What would you like
readers to take away from experiencing your work? I’m not sure. I am not convinced books always change the world morally, and, mind you, given the scoundrels most of us writers are, that’s not surprising. I would like them to take away from this novel a sense of the world enlarged, a confirmation that there was humanity and folly in 19141918, there is humanity and folly now, and there has always been a commonality of human experience, and the hope we can grow out of folly in the end. 6. Would you please give us the best advice you
have for aspiring authors? Only begin. An enigma: You have to write to engage the part of the brain you need to engage to be able to write. And never let the fact you can’t write stop you producing literature! Lack of apparent talent is no excuse. Just write the bloody thing. And don’t feel you need just another writing course before you start. Edgar Alan Poe didn’t. ONLY BEGIN‌ Antoinette Kuritz and Jared Kuritz are the team behind both STRATEGIES Public Relations and the La Jolla Writer’s Conference (www.lajollawritersconference.com).

Local native thriving in acting, musical career
Ashley Fox Linton Courtesy photo
BY KRISTINA HOUCK From Cygnet Theatre’s “Sweeney Todd” to The York Theatre’s “Flambe Dreams,” Ashley Fox Linton has starred in a variety of stage productions on both coasts. Still, the former local resident remembers her local roots. Linton’s first public performance was for her kindergarten class at Santa Fe Christian School in Solana Beach. After forgetting to bring her Care Bear for show and tell, the 5-year-old sang “Somewhere Out There” from “An American Tale.” Impressed with her voice, Linton’s teacher had her sing for every classroom. “I remember being nervous in front of the big third graders, but my teacher took me around and made me sing for every single room,” Linton said. “I thought, ‘Wow, OK. Maybe this is something I’m good at.’ I enjoyed it.” Although Linton’s parents encouraged her creativity, they weren’t aware she had been performing at school until she sang at an assembly. Linton said she didn’t tell her parents because she was afraid they would be upset she forgot her homework. After her parents discovered her passion for performing, Linton began taking acting classes at San Diego Junior Theatre, where she performed for 10 years. “I think I just really naturally expressed myself
Ashley Fox Linton as Betty Schaefer in “Sunset Boulevard,” with David Burnham. Photo by Ken Jacques that way and that was never shunned,” said Linton, whose mother is an artist. Her father works in commercial real estate but plays piano and guitar. “They were always very encouraging. I think it just developed from there.” In addition to her work at San Diego Junior Theatre, Linton landed a number of roles in productions at San Diego State University, The Theatre in Old Town, San Diego Opera, The Old Globe and La Jolla Playhouse, including Eliza Doolittle in “My Fair Lady” and Lady Larkin in “Once Upon a Mattress.” Linton headed east to earn her degree in musical theater at the Boston Conservatory and also studied at Berklee College of Music. Since her days at Santa Fe Christian School, Linton has appeared in a number of productions, including “Titanic,” “Sweeney Todd” and “Evita.” She also toured the U.S. and Canada with the musicals “Les Miserables” and “Wicked.” “I’ve always wanted to be in “Les Miserables,” so doing that show was just an incredible experience,” she said. “It was really the realization of a childhood dream.” Another dream came true for Linton when she released her debut album, “First Real Love,” in 2012. Described as “1970s throwback pop,” Linton co-produced the album with King Kozmo Records. “It was a really neat experience because all of the songs are originals,” Linton said. “They’re all songs that were never recorded before, and most of them were never heard before.” After living in New York for nearly a decade, Linton moved to Los Angeles last year. Recently, she played Betty Schaefer in Musical Theatre West’s “Sunset Boulevard” at the Karen and Richard Carpenter Theatre in Long Beach. “It was tremendous,” Linton said. “The cast was just phenomenal. We just bonded so much. The audience responded so well to it. “I’m definitely going to have post-show blues until I start another project.” Linton has several concert gigs lined up while she’s auditioning for new roles. In addition to recording new music, she hopes to land a role on a sitcom that’s filmed in front of a live studio audience. “I love it all,” she said. “The medium doesn’t really matter to me. It’s the material that I get excited about. “The thing I enjoy most is really moving an audience. I also really enjoy connecting with other actors. The people you meet and work with, and what you experience together, is unlike any other business. I’m so thankful for it.” For more information about Linton, visit ashleyfoxlinton.com.

The Mystery of Color Therapy It may well be that the great mystery in life is ourselves and the path to becoming whole and centered in our deeper self is our true purpose. As we reveal this mystery it moves us toward expressing our true being in the world without the confines of self-interest but in the context of ourselves and community. To communicate to this higher nature requires a language. The universal language through which nature speaks is color. Color is the multifaceted visual component of light. Living beings take in and give out light. Sages and teachers from all cultures reference a human radiance that each of us possess. To those with extraordinary visual acuity this radiance is seen as a field of colors. The most common name in our Western world for this color field that surrounds the physical body is our aura. In Greek, the description of the field of electrical or magnetic energies surround the periphery of the body is soma, the living energies. How far back in civilizations color has been used for healing is not clear but it has been well developed in these times in holistic health. One of the most advanced systems of color therapy is Aura-Soma. Aura-Soma uses a system of color selection of various formulations chosen by the person by visual appeal and correspondence. The formulations contain oils infused with light and color from plants, minerals and homeopathic substances that can be applied to the body to replete the aura, which in turn through a language of subconscious communication, allow ourselves to explore and accept new meaning to our experience. Through the help of a trained guide meaning can be connected to the bottle to help us understand more about these subtle energy realms.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
GOLFER continued from page 1 on the pro circuit in his 2010 debut before a back injury sent his career into a free fall. A year after undergoing surgery, Lovemark is on the comeback trail. He is coming off a breakout month, placing in the top 10 in three straight July tournaments, highlighted by winning the Midwest Classic on the Web.com tour on July 21. Lovemark tied for seventh the previous week at the Utah Championship on July 14 and tied for sixth at the Albertsons Boise Open on July 28. Before the Utah Championship, Lovemark had made cuts in just five of his previous 12 tournaments on the tour – without a top10 finish. His turnaround has thrilled his Rancho Santa Fe fans who weren’t sure if their prodigy would ever pick up where he left off when he hurt his back. “His career looked like it was in a state of collapse of a few years ago,” Courtney acknowledged. “Now he’s returned and everybody is very happy about it – everybody.” Lovemark won the Mid-
west Classic in thrilling fashion, with him draining a 15foot par put on the last hole to win the tournament by one stroke. Lovemark shot a 5-under-par 66 on the final day and a 18-under 266 overall at Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate. Lovemark’s title was his first since wining the Mexico Open in 2010 – his only other professional championship. The win also catapulted Lovemark from 76th to 14th on this year’s money list, earning him $108,000 to bring his total for the year to $149,983. “It feels great to be playing well again and this win is a huge relief for me,” Lovemark told reporters after winning the Midwest Classic. “It was nice to finally put four good rounds together.” Lovemark had one of the most distinguished careers at arguably the nation’s most prestigious high school programs at Torrey Pines. He averaged a 35.4 score on nine-hole courses his senior year, which worked out to 16 shots under par for the season. He shot an 8-under-par 64 on an 18-hole course at Singing Hills Golf Course, and shot a 30 (6-under-par)
on the front nine holes of the 2006 San Diego Section championships. In 2005 he became the youngest player ever to win the prestigious Western Amateur competing against an international field of elite golfers in a tournament that counts Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Justin Leonard and Phil Mickelson among its previous champions. He won the 2007 NCAA individual championship in 2007 as a freshman at USC where he was a two-time first-team All-American. Lovemark achieved his success with a self-taught swing his father helped him develop – a rarity at a time when individualized instruction is pervasive, and not all for the better, Courtney said. “Most of these players are far, far,far, over-analyzed, over-videoed – and overcoached,” Courtney said. “I think it’s just over the top, I don’t think it’s even good for them, frankly I think they should learn to be more independent, and Jamie is.” The result is a repeatable swing that’s silky smooth and which comes in stark contrast to the more mechanical swings ubiquitous on today’s junior circuit. “It’s refreshing to me to
see somebody that’s done it on their own,” Courtney said. “He has a magnificent game and he learned it on his own.” Lovemark hasn’t been seen much of the home course he practically grew up on since moving to Florida a few years ago. But the former amateur sensation’s resurgence has given his fans back home something to be excited about. “He’s just a nice young man and all of us at Ranch Santa Fe are thrilled and hope that he (continues) on his comeback trail,” Courtney said. “I hope he continues and I’m not alone — he’s got a lot of fans in this town. Everybody around our club — the golf people that are paying attention to him — are all abuzz.”
Lady of Fifty wins Grade I $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes Lady of Fifty raced near the back of the pack for most of the Grade I $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes on Aug. 3 at Del Mar, but then overtook her rivals in the stretch and won by one-and-a-half lengths. She was followed by More Chocolate in second and Byrama in third. Last year’s victor, Include Me Out, was sent to the post as the favorite but finished eighth in the nine-horse field. The 4-year-old Lady of Fifty, with Corey Nakatani in the saddle, covered the 1 1/16 miles on the Polytrack in 1:42.96. She is conditioned by Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, and is owned by Hollendorfer and George Todaro. The win has qualified Lady of Fifty for a start in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic in November; the Hirsch was a “Win and You’re In” event in the Breeders’ Cup’s Challenge Series.

Torrey Pines’ Shaffer finds harmony in music and running BY GIDEON RUBIN Sometimes when Kurtis Shaffer finds the right rhythm on long practice runs, it’s not always that clear to him whether life is imitating art, or it’s the other way around. Either way, it’s become apparent to him that shaving a few ticks off his 1600-meter time and adding a few new wrinkles to a jazz riff aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive goals. “Sometimes I’ll have melody motifs stuck in my head while I’m running,� he said. “It’s kind of torturous actually, I can be practicing saxophone during my runs. Even if the keys aren’t there I can imagine where they would be so I can run through scales like that.� Shaffer can probably use any time-management advantage he can get. The aspiring jazz musician runs on the cross country and track and field teams at Torrey Pines High, while excelling academically too. “It’s a juggling act for sure, between academics, sports and the music thing I’m doing,� he said. The “music thing� is Shaffer’s first passion. He picked up the saxophone in third grade after the Boys and Girls Club vis-
TPHS runner Kurtis Shaffer on the saxophone. Courtesy photo ited his elementary school encouraging music participation. Shaffer initially wanted to take clarinet lessons. “My dad goes, ‘What, clarinet? If you’re going to play an instrument you’ve got to play the saxophone. You’ll get way more girls that way.’ “He was joking, but I ended up doing that one instead and that’s taken off. Now I’m thinking about a career in music.� Shaffer’s high school running career has taken off too. He placed 10th in the Palomar League prelims, clocking 4:27.79, barely missing the cut to qualify for the San Diego Section finals. Earlier this year he stunned teammates – and himself – when he ran the 1600 in 4:26 in a dual meet against Mt. Carmel. Teammate Tal Braude, a standout runner, told him to “stay right up there� with him during the meet. “I ended up going around the fourth lap and I held with him on the finishing kick,� Shaffer said. Shaffer finished second in the race. “Everybody’s like ‘You just dropped [about] 30 seconds off your mile time,’ � Shaffer said. “I was excited about that
race.� Shaffer started running in middle school but he admits it was mostly a social experience. When he went out for the Torrey Pines cross country team as a freshman, the experience couldn’t have been more different. “When I showed the up first day it was like they were giants,� he said. “They were mostly seniors and I was a freshman, and they could like, run.� The Falcons went to the to state championships that year. “I walked in as a freshman and I didn’t know anybody,� he said. “It was little bit intimidating my first run. I was way out of my league, level, everything.� Shaffer kept at it though, toughing it out through a knee injury (different running shoes eventually fixed that), and along the way developing life skills that he believes have helped his performance on the track and in the music room. “You have to be diligent,� Shaffer said of the quality that he believes is integral to both endeavors. And you also have to be driven, he
POLO
acknowledged, to push out a 10-mile run when you’d really rather go back to bed. “You have to really want it,� he said. The early part is the toughest, he said, noting that the cross country team’s tapered training program has him doing the majority of his training early on, then easing off towards the end of the season. The results of the training are not immediately apparent. “The result is that hopefully we peak in our performance level at the end.� Shaffer is taking that diligence to his musical career too, putting in the long hours of daily practice honing his craft now — he hopes that will help him reach his peak performance when he’s establishing his professional career down the road. Shaffer said he plans to study music, perhaps at an elite East Coast conservancy or one of the state’s top programs at UCLA or the CSU Long Beach or Northridge schools. “Keeping your head on straight in those early times so that it pays off later,� he said. “That’s what I’m looking at in my music career and I know that I have to put in the work now so that it pays off when I go to college.�

being one of the best players in the world). Krista said her handicap is minus-1, but some players at the club have as high a handicap as 6. Handicaps are issued to most fairly match people in play. Krista and others will play at the Aug. 18 opener. For the season pickup, the San Diego Polo Club will host an island-inspired party, “Aloha Sunday,� during which Kimo Huddleston of Hawaii will demonstrate hitting techniques and explain the rules as an introduction to polo. His wife, Stephanie Huddleston, will perform a hula dance routine. All the food will have island flair. The catered food found on Sundays helps draw “an amazing crowd,� Krista said. The public is invited to watch polo matches on Saturdays, but there is no food, bar or spectacle, such as that of a Sunday match. Spectators range in age from in their 20s to those in their 70s and beyond, enjoying the food, the bar, and the overall scene. “The community is realizing that polo is fantastic,� she said.

‘The Last Nazi Hunter’ speaks at Chabad Jewish Center of RSF event Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe held a lecture by Dr Efraim Zuroff, the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s chief Nazi hunter, on July 30 at the RSF home of Drs. Andrew and Diana Benedek. Zuroff, director of the Wiesenthal Center in Jeruselem, is an American-born Israeli historian who has played an important role in the efforts to bring Nazi war criminals to justice during the past 28 years. Zuroff discussed his role in “Operation: Last Chance,” which he launched in 2002. Zuroff spearheaded a vast public campaign to locate and bring to justice as many as possible of the worst suspected Nazi criminals, before ill health or death spared them from standing trial.

Accomplished Cathedral Catholic graduate’s latest book signing event also benefits children BY DIANE Y. WELCH James Morris is a young man on a mission and with his enthusiasm and energy the future looks promising as he starts to makes his mark in the world. While Morris, 18, jokes that he “needs to find a moment of sleep,” his path forward is one of serious intent as he weaves his many talents into a fabric composed of literature, music and philanthropy. On Sunday afternoon, Aug. 4, Morris, with his supportive mom, Maria, appeared at his book launch at San Diego’s Mysterious Galaxy, a genre bookstore specializing in science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and horror. Morris not only signed his latest novel, “Water Tower,” but also entertained those present with a set of his self-composed music inspired by the book. Awareness was also raised for the foundation Earn Your Wings that Morris founded last year. It’s mission is to help keep kids safe. Attendees were encouraged to “open up their hearts” to purchase Morris’s book, plus one of their choice for donation to the Chadwick Center at Rady Children’s Hospital, where Morris also volunteers. The book signing event was on the heels of the official release of Water Tower at Comic Con last month. The novel is a sequel to Sky Bound (released October 2012) and is book two in the Young Adult, Science Fiction Three Kingdom’s Trilogy, self-published by Morris through Red Plate Publishing. Morris recently graduated from Cathedral Catholic High School and is heading to study Audio Engineering Technology at Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business at Belmont University in Nashville. He gives credit to several of his high school teachers and staff who made a difference in him forging this path forward: Tim Foley, former music teacher; Dawn Brannman, teacher and Director of Community Service Programs; and Dean Marlena Conroy, whose support made it possible for Morris to balance being a student, music artist, author and community organizer/volunteer.

Voracious reading – “My room is wall to wall books,” he said – nurtured Morris’s talent for storytelling and lyric writing. Eager to share this talent, he has created a writing workshop – Words Create Worlds – for teens and donated his books to local schools in the Poway School District where they have “embraced his book,” said Maria Morris, who serves as her son’s top cheerleader and publicity agent. A singer/songwriter, Morris’s musical compositions have been recorded onto CD and last year he was a nominee for the San Diego Music Awards. His latest CD – Catch Fire – is now available, along with Speed of Dark, Three Part Plan, and Fall. Initially starting with piano, Morris then taught himself to play guitar at age 13, he said, and for the past three years has played gigs at local coffee shops, on the radio, and at local fundraising events.
“James is a great songwriter,” said producer/ composer Gardner Cole about Morris’s abilities. “There’s a craft to writing and he’s got it.” Now working on book three of his action-packed dystopic trilogy, Morris said there is already interest from a movie company to make the Three Kingdom Series into a major motion picture, although as talks have just been initiated, “it’s too early to go into any details,” he said. The world of the three warring nations that Morris
has created in his novels introduces the reader to a 15-year-old protagonist, Sam Cutter, who despite his awkwardness is brave and determined to “stand up to powers far beyond the ordinary, whether they be good or evil.” A fast-paced and actionpacked adventure, Water Tower has already earned praise from Jeff Edward, author of The Seventh Angel, who noted, “James Morris combines the world-building ingenuity of Philip K. Dick with a raw-edged creativity that I’ve never seen in such a young author. Remember this kid’s name because you’re going to be asking for his autograph.” As for Maria Morris, she has high praise for her teenage son’s social responsibility and philanthropy. “James is a wonderful role model for other kids and teens, and I’m so proud of him,” she said.

HUNTER continued from page 1 In late July, the group rolled out its latest effort to track down Nazi war criminals who have escaped trial and punishment. “Wanted” posters were put up in Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne as part of a campaign called “Late. But not too late! Operation Last Chance II.” The campaign offers rewards of up to $33,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Nazi war criminals. Zuroff, who signed copies of his book, “Operation Last Chance: One Man’s Quest to Bring Nazi Criminals to Justice,” after his talk, said he and his colleagues believe there are still several hundred former Nazis living who should be tried for their crimes. “We need financial help and for people to work politically to try to put pressure on countries like Hungary,” he said. (Last month, thanks in part to Zuroff’s efforts, Hungary charged 98-year-old Laszlo Csatary with Nazi war crimes. He was placed under house arrest and is awaiting trail.) During his talk, Zuroff said that over his 30-plusyear career as a Nazi hunter, the hardest part has not been to find the perpetrators, but to convince governments
to put the suspects on trial. Many countries lack the political will to carry out the trials, he said. Some notorious Nazis eluded capture and died without ever being held accountable for their crimes, Zuroff said, giving the example of Josef Mengele, a Nazi doctor infamous for conducting medical experiments on Jews in the concentration camps. Mengele, dubbed “the Angel of Death” for his grisly experiments, escaped after the war to Brazil, where he died swimming in the ocean in 1979. Zuroff said it was a tragedy that Mengele was not brought to justice. One of the most important war criminals whom Zuroff helped catch was Dinko Sakic, commandant of the Jasenovac concentration camp in what is now Croatia. Researchers believe as many as 100,000 Jews, gypsies, Serbs and other opponents of the fascist regime were murdered at Jasenovac between 1941 and 1945. Sakic was tracked down to Argentina, where he had lived for 50 years. He told an interviewer, “You don’t understand the problem with Jasenovac. They didn’t let us finish the job,” according to Zuroff. At the time of Sakic’s arrest and trial in the late 1990s, he was considered a hero by some Croatians
because of his nationalist stance, Zuroff said. However, after being extradited to Croatia, he was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison, where he died in 2008. Zuroff recalled a case in which he got a tip about a woman living in Vienna who had reportedly been a guard at a Ravensbruck, a concentration camp for women in Germany, and at another camp in Poland. Among her duties had been taking prisoners to the gas chambers, and guarding them so they couldn’t escape. After a successful effort to convince Austrian authorities to open an investigation, Zuroff said, the woman died before she could be brought to trial. “I’m the only Jew in the world who prays for the health of Nazi war criminals,” he said, at least the ones who are being brought to trial. Rabbi Levi Raskin, of the Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe, said events such as the Zuroff lecture help raise awareness of important issues and also provide a social forum. “Our message is that the way to make sure this [the Holocaust] doesn’t happen again is to do good,” Raskin said.

SB CATs basketball teams win championships in Maui; RSF residents among team members RSF residents were among members of three Solana Beach CATs basketball teams that traveled to Maui for the Maui Summer Classic Basketball Tournament. The CATS competitive basketball league has been traveling for eight years with their 8th grade boys teams and this year traveled with three teams, including for the first time, their girls 7th/8th grade team. The trip proved to be a magical one with each team winning the championship game! The win only became sweeter when the Mayor of Maui, Alan Arakawa, presented the game ball and awards to the teams. The location of the tournament was the historic location of the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational, where 99 colleges representing 23 conferences and 40 states have competed.

SUICIDE continued from page 1 illegal drug heroin and they often do not know the purity of the drug or how much to take and they overdose After cocaine, prescription drugs diazepam (brand name Valium), methadone, oxycodone, hydrocodone and diphenhydramine (brand name Benadryl, Sominex) were among the top 10 drugs in overdose deaths. Alprazolam (brand name Xanax) was among the top three most common drug/ medications found in those under age 40 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it had a sudden increase in frequency in 2011 that remained common in 2012, and attributed to 55 deaths. Lenox said the increase in prescription drug deaths is often a result of people taking pills in combination with each other, with alcohol or with other illegal drugs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a priority for the DEA right now,â&#x20AC;? Lenox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused on trying to get people aware of the dangers that these drugs cause and, hopefully, educate them that these drugs are designed for a specific medical use, not for recreational useâ&#x20AC;Ś Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a safe drug. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a misconception that because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prescribed by a doctor that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re safer than illegal drugs.â&#x20AC;? Lenox said people get their hands on the drugs
through medicine cabinets or â&#x20AC;&#x153;doctor shoppingâ&#x20AC;? (getting multiple prescriptions from multiple doctors) or taking advantage of the proximity to Mexico to walk across the border and purchase pills for either personal use or to sell them. Diazepam and morphine also saw larger increases, according to the report. There were no deaths related to â&#x20AC;&#x153;bath saltsâ&#x20AC;? or ecstasy in 2012. Suicides by firearm accounts for the most common method (148) and suicides by hanging or asphyxia increased to 118. As in previous years, the rate of suicide was highest among men 85 years and older. The highest number of suicides were in the 45-54 age range with 92, 69 of them males. Nine suicides were recorded in the 15-19 age group and three in the 10-14 age group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a really sad and unfortunate thing,â&#x20AC;? said Jimm Greer, the founder of the San Diego non-profit initiative You Matter To Me (UMTR2ME). â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last few years more people are talking about suicide and getting people the support they need. Hopefully that will start a downward trend.â&#x20AC;? Greer has a unique perspective â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s someone who has found a successful life through an unsuccessful suicide, attempting to hang him-
self at age 18. Now 44, Greer started UMTR2ME a year ago as a way to provide support, hope and motivation for people who are struggling with mental illness, depression and thoughts of suicide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realized I needed to turn around and move back into the darkness, that I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive a suicide attempt and know what I know and not be helping people,â&#x20AC;? Greer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was moving in the wrong direction and that wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been selfish. I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go this way, grab a couple people and walk with them.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Greer was a part of Torrey Pines High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yellow Ribbon Week in the spring, a week that promoted suicide prevention and awareness with a variety of speakers and activities. Greer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem sharing his story with anyone, but he admits he finds public speaking petrifying and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure the teens would listen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids were coming up to me afterward. I had been thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 44, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to lose the connection with these kids,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but I was surprised. One girl came up and just hugged me and walked away,â&#x20AC;? Greer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another girl came up, looked at me like she wanted to say something and just started to cry. I hugged her and told her that if all she could do was cry, that was a good place to start.â&#x20AC;?
Greerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision is for more people to take the easy step of being there for someone, to be there to listen or just to tell someone that they matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something nobody says or hears enough and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so huge,â&#x20AC;? said Greer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody had a clue that I wanted to die...sometimes just a smile, just a little thing like that can help because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going through. Tell someone today â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You matter to meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the chance to see them again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people are afraid to hear other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems because they want to be able to fix them. But people are not always looking for someone to fix their problem, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just looking for someone to listen.â&#x20AC;? UMTR2ME has grown through its website and through social media, reaching people not only in San Diego but across the country and even as far away as Italy. Online there are messages of hope and a growing community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Greer personally responds to emails and texts he receives from people looking for help. In addition to Torrey Pines High, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also spoken to Marines at Miramar and will participate in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Out of the Darkness Walks in San Diego and Los Angeles on Aug. 19 and
26, as well as the Survivors of Suicide Loss San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Save a Life Walk on Nov. 10. The organization has white rubber bracelets stamped â&#x20AC;&#x153;UMTR2MEâ&#x20AC;? that Greer has found can spark conversations and connections on its own. One of Greerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite things to tell people is that life is like the weather. There are going to be sunny days and rainy days. He says if life seems easy or that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it all figured out, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really living. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After my suicide, things actually got much worse,â&#x20AC;? Greer said. He remembers waking up in the hospital and seeing his parents crying at the foot of his bed, thinking this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what was supposed to be happening and that he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even succeed at suicide. Moving forward was not easy and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 10 years after his suicide attempt that he was clinically diagnosed with manic depressive/ bipolar disorder 2, as well as attention deficit disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. The diagnosis helped him understand there were things going on that he could not control and it became important for him to learn about his illness and be a self-advocate for his mental health. He credits the support of his loving wife in helping him get throughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

National Banana Split Day has lots of appeal The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN One would think that national holidays are reserved for commemorating momentous events. However, in our foodie culture even s’mores and banana splits are feted with a national holiday — they share the limelight on Aug. 10. If we are to go ape over the banana split, let’s at least do it in style. I propose creating an adult version with an assortment of liqueurs. For the kids, a combination of their favorite toppings works. The person laying a solid claim to creating the original, iconic banana split was a 23-year-old pharmacy apprentice and soda jerk named David Evans Strickler, who made tricked-out sundae combinations at Tassel Pharmacy in Latrobe, Pennsylvania to impress the college coeds. Strickler’s banana split, a three scoop (chocolate, vanilla and strawberry) extravaganza flanked by a whole banana sliced lengthwise, smothered in chocolate and strawberry sauces, blanketed in whipped cream, sprinkled with chopped nuts, and topped with a maraschino cherry, cost a whopping 10 cents in 1904; twice the price of a regular sundae. Despite the cost, it swelled in popularity among the student body at Saint Vincent College, then by word-of-mouth to ice cream lovers across the land. (It even became the signature dish of Walgreens pharmacy in the Chicago area). Strickler, the intrepid entrepreneur, also needed a vessel to impressively display his edible Picasso, so he elicited a glassmaker to create the classic “banana boat” that is still used today for serving banana splits.
Inspired Top Bananas • Going Bananas: Try this bananaphile’s bliss with banana ice cream and sliced bananas topped with banana caramel syrup, banana chips and banana flavored whipped cream. • Elvis Pelvis Split: Rock ‘n’ roll with a combo of bananas and peanut butter ice cream smothered in a warm peanut sauce. • The Aloha Spirit: This tropical twist envelopes vanilla bean ice cream with pineapple syrup, toasted coconut shavings and chunks of salted macadamia nuts. •Tropical Treat: Caribbean-style split swaps out the banana for fried plantains (a starchy, low sugar member of the banana family that is usually pan fried). Add some scoops of coconut ice cream and top with mango, papaya or lime syrups or purees and a dollop of whipped coconut cream. • Ciao Down: Make an Italian split with assorted gelato scoops, a drizzle of warm, melted Nutella sauce, and sprinkling of toasted hazelnuts. • X-Rated Banana: This drunken split will give you a pleasant buzz when you drizzle the espresso ice cream (or any other high octane flavor) with an assortment of liqueurs including banana schnapps or Crème de bananes, Kahlua coffee liqueur or Godiva chocolate liqueur. • Guilt-free Split: Make it a healthier one with organic bananas, frozen yoghurt or non-dairy treats like iced almond or rice milk or sorbet, fresh fruit toppings (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, sliced nectarines), toasted pecans, almonds or walnuts and a frugal dollop of organic whipped cream (if you must). Boons of Banana Splits If the banana split is created with mindful common sense, including calorie, cholesterol and sugar consciousness, it will have some nutritional health benefits, such as, a load of the essential mineral potassium to maintain the salt and water
balance in the body, calcium for bone health, immune boosting Vitamins B-6 and C, Vitamin A to dial up eye health, and dietary fiber. Super Split The world’s most behemoth banana split was painstakingly created in May 2013 in Selinsgrove, Pa., as a fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It stretched five miles long and was comprised of 5,000 gallons of ice cream, 26,400 bananas and the same number of maraschino cherries, 500 gallons of Hershey’s chocolate syrup, 1,000 gallons of strawberries and crushed pineapple, 15,000 ounces of whipped cream and 700 pounds of crushed peanuts. Tums anyone?
Lickety-Split Banana Caramel Pecan Syrup Here’s a caramelized banana syrup to drizzle on waffles, French toast or pancakes, as well as on a banana split. Ingredients 2 large ripe but firm bananas (sliced in 1/4-inch rounds) 1/4 cup of sweet butter 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1/4 cup of toasted chopped pecans 1/4 cup of water Method: In a small skillet or saucepan combine the butter, sugar and water, and heat on medium until the butter is melted and the sugar dissolved. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a syrup. Add the bananas, extracts and nuts. Remove from heat and serve warm.

BY DIANA SAENGER LETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REVIEW! Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse work on tragedies, comedies and classic drama has long been rearranged and newly interpreted by many directors and writers. British playwright Tom Stoppardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hamletâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Deadâ&#x20AC;? winner of a 1968 Tony Award â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is one such treat, and you can see it as part of The Old Globeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 Shakespeare Festival, this summer in Balboa Park. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bizarre farce that takes a little settling into, but once its path is clear, be ready for laugh after laugh. Jay Whittaker as Guildenstern and John Lavelle as Rosencrantz, are exceptional as two friends charged with delivering a letter about Hamlet to King Claudius at his castle in Elsinore. The play begins with the pair alone on stage playing a game of coin toss. Guildenstern canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why every coin turns up heads. He tries to reason this with several explanations, which Rosencrantz canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow, and soon the two might as well be speaking Greek as nothing makes sense. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on First?â&#x20AC;? the comedy routine

When a traveling circus of Tragedian misfits suddenly engulfs them, bewilderment reigns supreme as they find themselves mixed up in the troupeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production. Tragedian Player (Sherman Howard) is intent on resurrecting memories of the production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ham-
let,â&#x20AC;? but in very odd ways. His crew is as confused as Guildenstern and Rosencrantz are in trying to figure out what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching. Player King explains that his troupe works inside out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they do what they would do backstage on the stage and what they would do on the stage, backstage; a metaphor for the entire play. There are mildly (and wildly) amusing moments between the characters. In scenes where Rosencrantz is trying to lick his toe (but failing because he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach it), I dare you to keep a straight face. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topped when he insists Guildenstern do it for him. Just learning the lines for this play was certainly a challenge, but Whittaker and Lavelle excel in every difficult moment of their portrayals. Someone should feature them in their own comedy show. The rotating cast members of the Festival players who portray the Tragedians are terrific in creating a surprising and hilarious time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially Stephen Hu as Player Queen Alfred. Under brilliant direction by Adrian Noble, the actors and shenanigans in this production are a rare treat.

Kaiserhof offers Old World flavors and style BY KELLEY CARLSON n the funky seaside community of Ocean Beach sits Kaiserhof, a restaurant more typical of a Bavarian village, with its green shutters featuring wooden tree cutouts and a fence that wraps around the roof. The family-owned establishment is based in a sunny yellow cottage along Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. Inside is classic European décor – arched entryways, paintings of stately castles and crests that represent the different states of Germany and even a few cuckoo clocks. (Only one clock operates regularly, to avoid driving the customers cuckoo.) A fireplace and gilded mirrors further add to the charm and elegance. For an experience that’s more casual, there’s a biergarten and bar in the back — the place to take advantage of happy hour specials. There are plenty of festive touches, from the lights strung above to the signs advertising beverages such as Erdinger and Killepitsch, and clocks that track the time in Munich and Ocean Beach. The mood is often mellow, enhanced by “natural” sounds from a bubbling fountain and whistling cockatiels, or occasionally classical music. But at times it’s lively, as patrons get into high spirits with beer drinking
I
A flight of beers at Kaiserhof may consist of varieties such as Paulaner Pils, Kaiserhof Kölsch, ‘Korbinian’ Weihenstephaner Doppelbock and ‘Vitus’ Weihenstephaner Weizenbock. Hot German pretzels are available in regular or giant sizes.

tunes and women in dirndls (traditional German dresses) make the rounds. Fridays through Sundays, many guests kick back with flights of brew samples (with varieties like the Paulaner Pils, Kaiserhof Kölsch, ‘Vitus’ Weihenstephaner Weizenbock and ‘Korbinian’ Weihenstephaner Dopplelbock) and snack on breads and pretzels. The authenticity of the dining experience carries over to the cuisine, created from family recipes. There’s the juicy-fleshed Roast Duck with wine-based Madeira sauce on a bed of apples and raisins, which can be paired with sides such as potato pancake and the pickled red cabbage. Or there’s the
Venison Medallions cut from New Zealand Roe deer in a creamy peppercorn sauce with brandy and Pfifferlinge mushrooms, complemented with sides such as Spätzle (homemade German noodles), broccoli and a poached pear dressed with lingonberries. Chef/owner Peter Bolter, whose family has owned and operated Kaiserhof since it opened more than 30 years ago, cites among his favorites the Sea Schnitzel, made with calamari; and the Rostbraten, a steak covered with fried onions and au jus. Sunset dinners are offered 5-6:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; entrée options include Baked Meat Loaf with a mushroom-
wine sauce and Kasehahnchen, a cheesecoated chicken breast with paprika sauce. The children’s menu includes Knackwurst and Honey-Dipped Fried Chicken.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Local woman’s boutiques bring designer fashions to North County BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Tobi Blatt moved from Beverly Hills to Carmel Valley 20 years ago, she had trouble finding stores that offered trendy clothing and accessories. Therefore, Blatt brought Los Angeles fashion to San Diego and opened her own boutique in 1997. She now has three locations in North County. “There were no places to really shop,” Blatt said. “There weren’t any boutiques. Department stores didn’t have what I needed, so I decided to create a niche. I was one of the first here that are still standing.” From designer jeans by J Brand Jeans, to shoes and sandals by Dolce Vita, Tobi Blatt boutiques offer a variety of men and women’s clothing, shoes and accessories. To stock her stores with the latest fashions, Blatt and her team travel to New York six times a year. “We’re always a couple steps ahead,” said 50-year-old Blatt. “We look at trend, color, design, fabrics and quality.” Fashion has always been a major part of Blatt’s life. Her father was a manufacturer of accessories, and her mother was a senior buyer for a chain of department stores. At 15 years old, Blatt began working in retail as a stocker at Camp Beverly Hills. She later went on to manage several stores in Los Angeles, including Fred Segal, Madison Los Angeles and Camp Beverly Hills. “I love fashion, style, fabrics,” Blatt said. “I love it all.” Business quickly grew after Blatt opened her first boutique in Carmel Valley. The 900-square-foot store expanded to 2,400 square feet. She later opened four additional locations in Carmel Mountain Ranch, Encinitas and Solana Beach. Still, owning a business hasn’t been easy, Blatt said. She faced more competition as other boutiques opened in San Diego. Her boutiques used to carry as many as 260 designers, but Blatt cut the list to 50 to set her store apart from the others. Like other small businesses, Tobi Blatt was also affected by the recession, and the Carmel Mountain Ranch and Encinitas locations were closed. With business once again booming, Blatt is currently re-

I hope when I’m 70 I’m still selling my clothes to my friends.” In addition to offering high-quality products, Blatt said her business has been successful because she gives her customers honest feedback and she offers fashion advice. “I want people to walk out and love what they wear, or don’t buy it,” she said. “I don’t want you to go home and have tags hanging on your clothes. Clothes are expensive; they’re an investment.” Carmel Valley resident Marsha Berkson has been a customer of Tobi Blatt’s for 15 years. “It’s the personalized service, stylized service, that you

Photo by Kristina Houck get from her,” said Berkson, who noted her teenage sons shop at Tobi Blatt’s for her birthday and Mother’s Day. “She also carries a lot of unique brands that you don’t find in department stores. You won’t look like everybody else in the same outfit. She really understands her clientele and caters to that and buys accordingly thinking of them.” Reflecting on her business, Blatt said she never dreamed her original boutique would lead to other locations and a long list of repeat customers. “I always loved retail,” Blatt said. “I knew once I came here, as soon as I landed here, I had a lot of opportunity. “I’m so glad I made the leap of faith. Some things have a way of working themselves out.” Tobi Blatt is located at the Carmel Country Plaza in Carmel Valley: 12750 Carmel Country Rd., San Diego, 92130; 858-509-5949.

A Cure for Summer Blues Dear Dr. Diana, My husband and I ended our marriage nine months ago. All our kids are recently grown and gone. Summer was our favorite time as a family. I am so down in the dumps and can’t seem t o pull myself out. It’s worse because it’s sup-Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom posed to be a fun time of year. I’m still able to work and I’m not suicidal but I’m so tired of everything feeling so grey. Do you have any advice for me? — Tired of Grieving Dear Tired, Summer can be an especially hard time to feel down or depressed because there is an expectation that it’s a special time for having fun experiences. It makes sense that your loss is even louder right now. Most people feel sad and disoriented for at least a year when they are recovering from a divorce. It is important to allow yourself time to grieve this loss which it sounds like you are doing. If the grey feeling stays with you most mornings and lasts throughout the days, weeks, and months, please don’t assume that it will go away on its own. It may be time to get some extra help from a professional. Journal writing can be very helpful during transitions like this. You can keep track of your progress and access whether you
need to seek outside help. Writing about your feelings unabashed can help release them as well as help you to explore what went wrong. Journaling is a good vehicle for reflecting on what you’ve learned from this experience and how you want to build those lessons into your future. In my clinical and personal life, I’ve observed that when one chapter in life ends, other doors open. Try imagining what you would like your next chapter to look like. Once you see it, you can start walking toward it – one step at a time. A few more ideas: •Think of some activities that you’ve always wanted to do that you couldn’t do in the past. Maybe your husband didn’t want to do it or you couldn’t when the children were at home. Plan a fun adventure, project, or take up a hobby that would be fun for you. •If you can’t think of anything, maybe one of your friends or family members can remind you of something that you’ve mentioned over the years that you wanted to do. •Changing your décor at your office and home might be refreshing. Bringing in some bright colors and uplifting images can help improve your mood and launch this next chapter. Posting inspirational messages around can be helpful too. Bringing the outdoors in with cheery flowers can also make you feel uplifted. •Exercise. Even a little can go a long way. Exercise helps with the blues because it causes the release of brain chemicals (neurotransmitters and endorphins) that make us feel good. It also reduces certain chemi-
Luxury Landscaping in Rancho Santa Fe By Steve Jacobs In Rancho Santa Fe we have a unique environment with perfect weather, beautiful beaches, stunning views and attractive architecture. This rare combination is the reason for the area’s outstanding popularity, not only in San Diego, but nationally as well. Although housing values were recently driven downward due to the economy, investors see the San Diego real estate market as a huge opportunity to build a portfolio of the highest-end properties, to improve properties, and to rent or resell them for the most lucrative return on their investment. When it comes to luxury property, one of the primary distinctions of any given estate is the quality landscaping that surrounds the home. For many homeowners, it’s precisely the distinguished look of luxury landscaping that can make all the difference in how real estate is perceived, especially when it comes to the quick sale of the property on an active listing. Most of the existing homes on the market (especially in the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe) haven’t had any architectural or interior upgrades in many years, and earlier renovation choices were based on the theory “bigger, not better.” Likewise, previous architectural upgrade decisions were based on a lower price per square foot material, and likely installed by unskilled labor. Things have rapidly changed due to a rising interest in the San Diego market. Investors and homeowners are now seeing the value of incorporating quality into these homes after seeing positive financial returns from their investments.
Why should homeowners consider upgraded landscaping? Homeowners who renovate homes with quality landscaping gain satisfaction that their dollars are well-spent. The aesthetic quality improvement is appropriate for the home and its location. Now that many homeowners are purchasing with cash instead of borrowed funds, more and more buyers are committed to spending their lifetime in these homes, making a dream estate a true reality. The types of materials being specified (natural materials vs. synthetic or manufactured) can make all the difference in luxury landscaping. To do it right, natural materials are best implemented using skilled expert craftsmen. These days, homeowners are better educated and care more that workers on their property are licensed, insured, and bonded. For added security some even require their construction team pass a vigorous background investigation. Now more than ever luxury landscaping is at the forefront of estate homes. In the past, landscapes were more of an afterthought. Big, showy amenities that included large tropical trees, deep green expansive lawns and over the top seasonal color were irrigated with private well water. Today, though, there seems to be more sensitivity to using drought tolerant plantings (succulents and natives), reduced lawns, drip irrigation, and solar-heated swimming pools while still preserving the luxury look and feel of quality landscaping. …There’s more to this story at www.delmartimes.net/columns/ and www.ranchosantafereview.com/columns/

cals that dampen immune system functioning and worsen depression. Exercise can increase your confidence, distract you in a good way, and help you get out among other people. When you take a walk in your neighborhood, try giving a friendly smile or greeting and notice how it boosts your mood. •Engage with other people, don’t let yourself isolate. Even though it’s tempting to stay home, force yourself to go out and be among people. The best way to feel better is to be kind to others. Make a point to do one act a day to make someone else feel better. It could be complimenting someone at work or a random act of kindness to a stranger. This could be as simple as holding the door for someone or letting a harried person go ahead of you in the line at the market. Taking positive actions that get you outside of yourself is the key. •Getting enough sleep and having a healthy diet can impact sadness and depres-
sion. Try to have good sleep hygiene, which is where you go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. When people dwell on what they don’t have anymore, it doesn’t make them feel better. Focusing on the good things in your life and cultivating those will take you in new and better directions. If you start experiencing feelings of hopelessness that things can get better, with difficulty sleeping, eating, and concentrating, you might want to consult with a psychologist or physician to evaluate your condition. Sometimes, prolonged periods of sadness or depression can take on a life of its own. Don’t feel like you have cope all on your own. Reach out to loved or a health professional to assist you through this difficult transition.

Experts to discuss ‘Early Detection of Breast Cancer and the Recurrence of Breast Cancer’ at special event Please mark your calendars for Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. to attend a very special evening sponsored by the Linked by Lynn support group. The topic will be “Early Detection of Breast Cancer and the Recurrence of Breast Cancer.” The event will be held at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church in Carmel Valley and is open to the entire community. So many breast cancers do not show up on a mammogram and are found at a later stage. Breast density not only makes a developing cancer hard to detect, but recently it was determined this dense tissue significantly increases a woman’s risk. Dr. Richard Reitherman, a nationally recognized radiologist, will present a new method of evaluating a woman’s breast cancer risk, as well as outline appropriate surveillance methods, even in young women. Additional detection methods will be discussed by dedicated breast surgeons Dr. Jane Kakkis and Dr. Michele Carpenter. A Q&A session will take place, following the physician presentations. Spread the word to your family, friends, daughters and co-workers about this evening. All are welcome and the event is free. St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church is located at 4355 Del Mar Trails Rd, San Diego (Carmel Valley), 92130. — Lynn Larkin Flanagan, 16-anda-half-year breast cancer survivor and relishing every new day!

Children thrive at Autism Tree Project Foundation’s art camp BY KRISTINA HOUCK Using an assortment of arts and crafts supplies, local high school students helped several children with autism decorate Mason jars to reflect their dreams. “We’re doing dream jars,” said 11-year-old Martinique Gray. “It’s fun!” From dream jars to watercolor paintings, girls with autism have created various art projects during Autism Tree Project Foundation’s Girls Summer Art Camp at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s Center for a Healthy Lifestyle. Martinique’s mother, Fran Gray, said her daughter has always used art to express herself. “She loves it,” Fran Gray said. “Art gives them a chance to use their imagination. Our girls are very creative and have great imagination, and art is a way to express that.” Sujatha Jeenagala said her 12-year-old daughter, Sai, showed her family and friends the watercolor painting of flowers she created during the first camp session on July 28. “She’s very interested and so proud of her work,” said Sujatha Jeenagala, a local resident. “She was waiting to come back to this class.” This is the second year the San Diego-based nonprofit organization has offered the camp, which enables girls to learn watercolor techniques and experiment with mixed media. “It’s fun to draw,” Sai Jeenagala said. “You can draw and paint.” Canyon Crest Academy senior Isabelle Kaplan launched the camp for girls ages 8-18 last summer. She and her mother, Elizabeth Kaplan, have worked with the Autism Tree Project Foundation for several years through the Del Sol Chapter of National Charity League, a mother-daughter philanthropic organization. “I saw the need for it,” said Isabelle Kaplan, who is in

Courtesy photo the art conservatory program at school. “These girls all have such creative potential and enormous imaginations. They love art, but some of the girls have difficulty expressing themselves. I just wanted to make an opportunity for them to be able to learn and develop their technique, but be open-ended so they can express themselves.” National Charity League first partnered with the Autism Tree Project Foundation to create the Girls Mentor Program, which pairs autistic girls with NCL girls for girls-only events. More than 85 girls with autism are currently participating in the program. “I’m really proud of her,” said former art teacher Elizabeth Kaplan, Isabelle’s mother. “I feel like NCL has been a great experience for her because she’s learned so much and she’s really connected with a lot of girls through the Autism Tree Project Foundation.”

‘Horsemen of all Ages’ auction BY LESLIE CARTER Owners and trainers of thoroughbred racehorses go to auctions to chase their dreams — to find that Kentucky Derby winner, or an equine immortal to outshine Secretariat or Man o’ War. At the Del Mar Hilton on Saturday, July 27, there was an auction dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of kids who were born into the backstretch life of the racing world, but want to emerge into the adult world armed with college degrees.

The human contingent of the Del Mar Thoroughbred community stood up, some of them on an auction runway, to turn these dreams into reality. The “Horsemen of All Ages & Bachelor Auction,” put together by Kentucky-based Race for Education and the Edwin J. Gregson Foundation founded in Southern California, raised about $50,000 to send children of outriders, assistant trainers and other backstretch workers on to higher education.
As in an auction of racing prospects, the volunteers offered for bidding were listed by hip numbers. Of the 16 hips listed in the program, two were local. Restaurateur Jeffrey Strauss (hip #9) of the Pamplemousse Grille in Solana Beach, and entrepreneur and successful horseplayer Christian Hellmers, a Rancho Santa Fe resident. Strauss has been involved in charitable efforts in San Diego County for many years, dating back to the opening of his Pamplemousse Grille in 1996. He has included nonprofits in his business plan since learning his craft in New York and working for Glorious Food. The causes he has supported and catered for include Casa de Amparo, San Diego Humane Society, Salk Institute, North Coast Repertory Theatre, Patrons of the Prado, and Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. He also invests time and money aiding Navy Seals. Because Pamplemousse sits just across Via de la Valle from the Del Mar Racetrack, the chef has become an enthusiastic supporter of non-profits that surround thoroughbred horse racing. Strauss became friends with jockey Chris McCarron soon after opening Pamplemousse. McCarron was one of the founders of the Don MacBeth Memorial Jockey Fund for injured jockeys and exercise riders. For years the MacBeth fund’s August fundraiser was held at Pamplemousse, with jockeys as waiters and with Tim Conway, Bob Newhart or another friend as the entertainment. The MacBeth Fund is retired, but Strauss works with the Gregson Foundation, and supports California Retirement Management Account (CARMA), a charitable 501(c) (3) organization created to raise money for retired California racehorses. Strauss is also deeply into horse ownership, with a partnership group called Donkey Island, a share in a first place finisher on July 31 named Domonation, and interests in two stallions standing in Kentucky. One of those stallions is The Pamplemousse, who had a brief but brilliant racing career in 2009. Other partnerships involve his brother Bill, who came into the area first, and is an owner of a Breeder’s Cup winner. While accepting the Gregson request to be auctioned,

Local painters have fun with steamy show at La Jolla Art Association BY WILL BOWEN LET’S REVIEW La Jolla Art Association just closed a sizzlin’ hot exhibition curated by Judy Judy Judy at its galleries on Paseo Del Ocaso, in La Jolla Shores. The curator explained that her professional name originated in the movies, when Cary Grant, in his infamous nasal tone, uttered “Judy, Judy, Judy” in the 1939 film, “Only Angels Have Wings,” also starring Jean Arthur, Richard Barthelmess and Rita Hayworth. “I like old movies,” Judy Judy Judy said. “I like the style, the fashion, the ambience of past eras — especially the 1940s.” That’s why many of Judy’s ideas for LJAA shows — she has done eight in recent months — come from famous movies or famous songs. There’s been “Night of the Iguana,” “Bring in the Clowns,” “La Vie en Rose,” “Nothing But the Blues,” “Femme Fatales,” “Summertime and the Living is Easy,” and “A Season for Giving.” For the fall, she’s planning “Its a Mod, Mod, Mod World,” which will feature modern and abstract art, and after that, comes a show titled “Masquerade.” Judy’s recent show, which ran July 14-28, was called “Some Like it Hot,” and as she explained, “I wanted a show that was hot because it’s summer, but I also wanted something sexy; I wanted a show that was sizzling hot and sexy! “The LJAA has been going strong for almost 100 years. I want to keep it going. That’s the reason I try and come up with new and differently themed art shows that keep the tradition going. Sometimes I just like the way something sounds, so I will build an art show around the ring of the words.” In addition to the numerous paintings of beautiful nude women in “Some Like It Hot,” there was some hot haute couture — hand painted clothing — plus jewelry and photography. And although it may not seem sexy to all but those with a passion for our feathered friends, the show also had incredible bird sculptures by RSF’s Dale Steffen. By sheer coincidence, one of the paintings in the show was called, “Some Like It Hot.” It was an impressionistic painting of ladies playing pool on a pool table that just swirled with a sea of colors, by Ukrainian artist Larisa Gorikh. “ ’Some Like It Hot’ is my favorite American movie,” said Gorikh. “I saw it in Russia when I was young. After that, I knew I wanted to come to America.” Gorikh said she was born in Vladivostok but went to art school in Irkutsk on Lake Baykal in Siberia. After graduation, she hoped to head to Moscow to pursue her career, but the Soviet Union fell apart and there was such chaos that

Wilkins drove up to the July 21 artists reception in his new 2014 pearl blue Porsche Cayman. He revved the engine for admirers at the door. “I got the Porsche because I didn’t want to be late for work,” Wilkins joked. “I paint nudes because the female body is beautiful and complex.

Photos/Will Bowen she returned to Vladivostok for six more years of art schooling at yet another art college. “I spent a total of 10 years in art school in Russia,” said Gorikh, who teaches at the U.S. Art Education Center in Rancho Penasquitos. “I came to America to find a good husband because all the Russian men were just drinking their lives away with vodka! “I like to paint young people, who are filled with energy, as in bars, restaurants or playing pool … and I love to work with complimentary colors.” Joo Yeon Lee, a Korean artist, who attended art school in Seoul, South Korea where she earned a bachelor’s degree in fine art and a master’s in fashion design, also had work in the show. Lee is married to a third-generation Brazilian racehorse trainer. She and her husband recently founded a horse training company in Del Mar. When she is not acting as its CEO, she teaches art at Joann Art Studio in Claremont. “I like to paint wildlife,” Lee said. “I try to put human emotions in my animals. The leopard I painted for the show — that’s me!” Lee also had a striking nude painting

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Rancho Santa Fe jeweler creates custom pieces BY KRISTINA HOUCK Bibba Winn can finally enjoy her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring after it sat in a box for 16 years. With guidance from Winn and her husband, Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry used the diamonds from the ring a few sizes too big to create a new piece that fits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I not only enjoy it, I love it,â&#x20AC;? Winn, 79, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful ring.â&#x20AC;? The ring features a roughly three-carat center diamond and small diamonds set in an etched 18K white gold band. Winn and her husband, Donald Winn, gave store owner Coleen Freeman and jeweler Kamyar Zarrabi a general idea of what they had in mind. Zarrabi then worked with the couple to approve his designs before he created the mold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the first piece that we tried to recreate on our own, of something of my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? said the Rancho Santa Fe resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the way it all came about. The end result surpassed what any of us thought it would be.â&#x20AC;? Although she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was possible to use all of the diamonds from her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring, Winn said Zarrabi used all of them because he knew how special the piece was to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thanked him for his
In addition to the $1 million in jewelry on display, Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry offers customer jewelry design. craftsmanship because it could not be better,â&#x20AC;? Winn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes the diamonds from my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring into a setting that we created with Kam. To me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more special.â&#x20AC;? Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry specializes in a variety of services, including jewelry appraisal, acquisition, cleaning, resizing and repair. In addition to the $1 million in jewelry on display, the store offers customer jewelry design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime someone canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find what they want, we just make it,â&#x20AC;? Freeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like taking someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea and giving them a finished product that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy with. I want them to love what they have, feel like they were a part of the process and get what they wanted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not what someone else had in their head.â&#x20AC;? Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry has offered one-of-a-kind pieces for
more than 30 years in the community. Freeman, 60, renamed the business after purchasing it from Marilyn Mulloy about four years ago. She had been the manager of Mulloyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store for six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a perfect transition although I never dreamed of owning my own store,â&#x20AC;? said Freeman, who used to work in the jewelry department at J.C. Penney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had already built the clientele. I know the people, and I like the people. I was sad to leave the people.â&#x20AC;? Although it has a new name, Freeman said she believes Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry has been around for more than three decades because the store believes in â&#x20AC;&#x153;good, honest service.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have tremendous, utmost faith in them,â&#x20AC;? Winn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a real asset to the business and to the Village.â&#x20AC;? Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry is located at 6024 Paseo Delicias.

trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

In addition, the borrower on the loan shall be sent a written notice if the sale has
been postponed for at least ten (10) business days. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

AUCTION continued from page B8 Jeffrey Strauss was apprehensive—“I didn’t want to get up on stage and feel like an $8,000 claimer.” But his girlfriend, Mayo Osman, stood ready to rescue him from embarrassment. The bidding was up to $3,000, when Mayo jumped in with the winning bid of $3,300. He’s now waiting for Mayo to inform him of her plans for the date, and he hopes she “plans something fun.”
ated by the computer from an intersection of fractals and photography,” Morse, explained. For one of his pieces, he inverted a photograph of a seagull, than superimposed a fractal program on top of it. Bird sculptor Dale Steffen might have seemed the odd man out in this show, but his work was magnificent. He exhibited a bronze roadrunner, a wooden Harris hawk, and a wooden northern mockingbird, each incredibly detailed and just
about perfect. “I love birds,” Steffen said. “They are my passion. I’ve been doing birds for 30 years.” Steffen has won top prizes in the “California Open,” an exclusive bird art show at the San Diego County Fair. He carves with an expensive Japanese dremel-like rotary drill, called a Brassler, using wood from the Louisiana Tupelo tree, the Malaysian Jeltong tree and the American Midwest Basswood tree.
Christian Hellmers, second place winner for two years in the largest real money handicapping tournament, the Breeders Cup Betting Challenge (combined winnings for 20112012 were over $270,000), had the scariest job of the evening. He was hip #1. He made a spirited showing and a racing partnership of four women, at least one a Del Mar real estate agent, prevailed. Hellmers promised to make up the $500 bid with his superior handicapping skills during
a weekend afternoon in his box at the track. “We’ll have a fun...time,” he promised. Trevor Denman, Del Mar’s track announcer and Frank Mirahmadi, a racecaller at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas were the team of auctioneers. According to Gregson President Jenine Sahadi, retired trainer and Del Mar resident, “One hundred percent of our money from fundraisers goes directly into the scholarship fund.”

Willis Allen Real Estate executives attend Inman News Real Estate Connect Conference in San Francisco Willis Allen Real Estate recently sent two of its management team members to the Inman News Real Estate Connect Conference in San Francisco. Bud Clark, executive vice president and managing broker, and Ashley McEvers, business development manager, were in attendance. Each year industry insiders attend Real Estate Connect to learn best practices and forge partnerships. The conference is produced by Inman News and draws thousands of attendees each year. “It’s such a great event, and a wonderful way to connect with the best-of-the-best in global real estate,” notes Clark. “As we approach our 100-year anniversary as a brokerage, Willis Allen continues to look for ways to do innovate, and this conference offered a plethora of ideas.” Among the topics covered at this year’s event: •The visual nature of real estate, necessitating more photos and videos than ever before. •Agent-client communication. •Innovation in real estate, particularly with mobile technology. •Real estate and social media. •The specific requirements of foreign buyers. According to McEvers, the central takeaway was technology’s impact on the real estate profession. “As technology continues to evolve in miraculous ways, every industry – and especially real estate – is moving with it,” she says. “Technology creates even more new and innovative ways for real estate agents to do business and simplify the entire process for their clients.” After the conference, McEvers was among those invited to visit one of Willis Allen Real Estate’s San Francisco affiliates, McGuire Real Estate. There, she met Lauren Bensinger, director of client services and relocation, and CEO and owner, Charles Moore. McEvers says the group discussed how high demand and low inventory levels are a challenge each of them are facing. After an office tour, the group went on a property tour in the elite Pacific Heights neighborhood, which showcased some of the finest properties in the city.
