Fluoridated drinking water coming to Santa Fe district — temporarily

BY JOE TASHContributor

A planned upgrade to a water filtra-tion plant operated by the Santa Fe Irri-gation District means that for the first time, the district’s 20,000 residents will receive fluoridated drinking water over a six-week period beginning Jan. 1.

During the treatment plant’s closure, the district will buy treated water from the Metropolitan Water District of South-ern California, which adds fluoride to its drinking water supply, said Santa Fe gen-eral manager Michael Bardin.

“We need to let all our customers know — you’re going to get fluoridated water for this period of time,” said Bar-din.

Although the district has briefly


Two prominent think-ers and best-selling authors Oct. 18 debated whether sci-ence or spirituality can best answer the eternal questions facing mankind as part of a forum of ideas hosted by UCSD and The Atlantic magazine.

Deepak Chopra, best-

known for his writings about mind-body healing and spirituality, and Leon-ard Mlodinow, a physicist and writing collaborator with Stephen Hawking, took the stage at the Scripps Insti-tution of Oceanography’s Seaside Forum during a morning session before a packed auditorium. Moder-ating the conversation was

Atlantic editor James Ben-net.

Other speakers during the three-day event, called The Atlantic Meets The Pa-cific, included entrepreneur Elon Musk of SpaceX and Tesla, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams and game de-sign pioneer Will Wright. The theme of this year’s in-augural conference was ad-

vances in health, tech-nology and energy. Organizers hope to make the conference an annual event.

Chopra and Mlodinow’s session centered around their new book, a series of essays named “War of

Directors of the Santa Fe Irrigation District have narrowed a list of possible redistricting maps to two top candidates, which will be available for public review and comment at two upcoming board meetings.

The district, which provides water to some 20,000 residents in Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and Solana Beach, is required to rebalance the populations of its five divisions following the U.S. Cen-sus, which was conducted in 2010. The district is governed by an elected, five-member board, and each member is elected from one of the five districts.

Editor’s note: This feature is part of an ongoing series about the hot picks and inter-esting vendors that serve the community at our local farmers markets.

If you’ve been at the Solana Beach Farmers Mar-ket on a recent Sunday, you’ve probably noticed a number of people strolling through or leaving with an interesting bouquet that’s made not of flowers but of tiny colorful pumpkins.

It’s called a pumpkin bush, said Gilbert Quintos, who grows the plant on his

8-acre farm in Fallbrook and has been selling at the Solana Beach market since 1987. Actually, the scientif-ic name is “Solanum P” — fitting for Solana Beach — and those blossoms are tiny squash, not pumpkins. Quintos said he intention-ally plants rows and rows of the bush in February so its eight-month harvest will conclude just in time for the beginning of fall, and it’s one of the most popular items he sells year-round.

People love the plant because it’s a good substi-tute for fresh flowers and it

lasts for months, all the way through the fall sea-son, and then dries beauti-fully, Quintos said. But if you happen to purchase a decorative pumpkin bush, don’t put it in water or the squash will drop off.

Although the pumpkin bush may look pretty, Quintos said, going farm to market is a sometimes un-pretty process because the bushy is very thorny and farmers go to great pains in dethorning each and every stem.

Who’s your favorite local vendor? Email [email protected].

Solanum plant a hot item in Solana Beach

The Oct. 18 presentation and renderings, by Foundation for Form Architecture, are viewable on the City of Solana Beach website (/www.ci.solana-beach.ca.us/csite/cms/home.htm)

Developer Ginger Hitzke and the Solana Beach City Council pre-sented plans on Oct. 18 for a rede-signed affordable housing develop-ment to be built on the 500 block of South Sierra Avenue.

“The Pearl,” which comprises 10 housing units and 54 parking spac-es, came under fire when plans were presented in August.

Last Tuesday, three conceptual designs were presented. Design A included balconies with eaves, san-dy colors and wood siding. Design B had warm ochre colors, wood shingles and gables roofs. Design C included stone on the outside, per-golas over the windows, balconies with eaves and gable roofs. All de-signs featured a “lifeguard-tower turquoise” color.

The site is currently home to a parking lot. Story poles have been put up for the community to gauge the building’s height.

The group outlined that “afford-able” does not necessarily equal low income. It means housing that doesn’t cost more than 30 percent of one’s income. Potential tenants will undergo a background check and income verification, as well as sign a crime-free addendum.

Commercial or office space is being considered for the ground level. — Claire Harlin

Vic Buzachero, (pro-nounced “Buzz-a-kero”) is Scripps Health’s corporate senior vice president of in-novation, human resources and performance manage-ment, a hefty title, to be sure, but one that accurately describes the scope of his contribution to the remark-able turnaround of Scripps Health over the past 10 years.

Earlier this month, in recognition of his achieve-ments, Buzachero was named to HR [Human Re-source] Executive Magazine’s Honor Roll for 2011 and in an accompanying article was headlined as “The Turn-around Kid.”

He especially appreciat-ed the ‘kid’ part, Buzachero said, “now that I’m 60.”

Also recently, Scripps Health, the San Diego-based nonprofit community health system of five acute-care hospitals and 23 outpa-tient clinics staffed by 13,200 employees and 2,500 affiliated physicians, was

ranked by AARP as the No. 1 company in the U.S. for workers over age 50.

“We consider Scripps to be a career destination com-pany,” Buzachero said, “therefore we design our hu-man resources programs to appeal to all people, no mat-ter what stage of life they may be in. Approximately 36 percent of our workforce is age 50 or older, and we work to retain them because the knowledge they pass down ultimately results in better outcomes for our pa-tients.”

Recently, for the fourth year in a row, Fortune Maga-zine named Scripps Health as one of the 100 best com-panies in the nation to work for, and, for the seventh consecutive year, Working Mother magazine recog-nized it as a top employer of working moms and this year ranked it as #11 of the top 100 companies for its learn-ing opportunities, flexible work schedules, on-site day-care and adoption benefits program.

We interviewed Buzach-

ero in his office at Scripps Health’s headquarters in La Jolla.

He’s a tall, well-built man with slightly graying hair, who, to keep in shape for the winter snow-ski sea-son, works out “constantly” — running, training with weights, and climbing the stairs to his second floor of-fice several times a day rath-er than ride the elevator.

Talking across neatly-stacked piles of papers on his desk, Buzachero readily concedes “I’m not a clean-desk guy,” but he is an avid jotter of ideas in a little black book that invariably accompanies him wherever he goes; and on occasion — in a bow to technology — substitutes his iPad to record the continual flow of ideas and “to do’s.”

“Sometimes even the best idea is not a good idea until the timing is right,” he says.

Buzachero was recruited by Scripps Health in Septem-ber 2001 at a time of crisis when the then 77-year-old Scripps was on life support

and hoping to recover and restore itself under its new president and CEO Chris Van Gorder as “a workplace of choice.”

Scripps had ousted its former CEO, doctors had fled, there was a labor short-age, the company was fac-ing significant operating losses, and the human re-sources department was foundering.

The company’s new leadership convinced Bu-zachero of their belief that Scripps’ employees were cru-cial to revitalizing the com-pany’s brand and culture — it just needed someone to create a human resource de-partment that would carry out that philosophy.

“Given that founda-tion,” Buzachero recalled, “I felt Scripps was the right place to be able to accom-plish a turnaround.”

Before joining Scripps, Buzachero had developed an HR reputation in Ala-bama, Texas, Arizona and Washington for leadership development, service excel-lence, reductions in employ-ee turnover and improved employee satisfaction — ex-actly what Scripps was look-ing for.

Buzachero was born, in

Canyon Crest Academy places 3rd in national math contest

Canyon Crest Academy has some of the best high school mathematicians in the country, as demonstrated by its 3rd-place finish in the 2011 Fall Startup Event, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (www.natassessment.com).

Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the first major competition of the academic year, in which students worked furiously for 30 minutes, racing to answer 100 problems in a variety of mathematical topics. With so many questions and so little time, competitors must not only have strong mathematical skills, but also be able to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip.

After results from students across the nation were pro-cessed, several Canyon Crest Academy students received in-dividual awards, helping their team to place 3rd in the na-tion. In the 10th-grade division, Brandon Zeng and Paolo Gentili tied for 4th-place; Catherine Wu placed 13th; and Eric Chen was 14th. Thomas Swayze placed 9th in the 11th-grade division; and Henry Maltby and Raymond Wu placed 2nd and 24th respectively in the 12th-grade division. Can-yon Crest Academy will be participating in all five of Na-tional Assessment & Testing’s contests this year, including the 2011 Team Scramble on Nov. 3 and the 2011 Ciphering Time Trials on Dec. 8. National Assessment & Testing ad-ministers high-quality mathematics competitions that high schools can participate in through the mail. Their contests cover a variety of formats, including individual and team tests, as well as a variety of difficulties, from 100 easy prob-lems in 30 minutes to 15 complex problems in one week.

This year, UC San Di-ego’s International Center is hosting a new program which gives international students the opportunity to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day holiday with an Amer-ican host family in the San Diego area.

Volunteering host fam-ilies invite two internation-al UCSD students into their homes for a Thanksgiving meal and share how the holiday is celebrated in their family.

“Our international stu-dents are excited to spend Thanksgiving with San Di-ego families and learn more about this traditional American holiday,” said Shelly Taskin, program co-ordinator at International Center. “This program is a wonderful opportunity for both international students and host family members to learn more about each others’ cultures and foster new friendships,” added Taskin.

If you are interested in participating in the pro-gram as a host family, please email Shelly at [email protected] by Nov. 4.

District staff prepared five potential redistricting maps, and the board nar-rowed the list to two maps at its meeting on Thursday, Oct. 20.

Discussion of the maps will be placed on two up-coming board agendas to allow the public to com-ment on them. The board will vote on a final map af-ter the second meeting.

District general manag-er Michael Bardin said most of the district’s population growth occurred in Division 2, which includes the east-

ern portion of Solana Beach. Divisions 4 and 5, which cover the coastal area, will have minor changes, while Divisions 1 and 3, which in-clude the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant and Fairbanks Ranch, will remain virtually unchanged.

The district’s board of directors includes: Ken Dunford, Division 1; Robert “Bud” Irvin, Division 2; John Ingalls, Division 3; Michael Hogan, Division 4; and Andy Menshek, Divi-sion 5. The terms of Irvin and Dunford expire in 2012, while the terms of the other three directors expire in 2014.

the Worldviews – Science vs. Spirituality.” In the book, each author gives his perspec-tive on such questions as “how did the universe emerge,” “what is the connec-tion between mind and brain,” and “is God an illu-sion?”

Bennet said that before he read the book, he had ex-pected the two authors to reach common ground on a number of issues. But after his reading, he came to the opposite conclusion.

“It really felt like a war. In fact, there is no peace at the end of the book,” Bennet said.

Chopra, a physician who founded the Chopra Center

for Well-Being in La Jolla in the 1990s, and later moved the center to Carlsbad, credits science with many advance-ments that have improved the quality of life for humans. Where it falls short, he said, is its lack of purpose or morali-ty, which has led to such evils as biological warfare and global warming.

“These are the gifts of science, that does not have any values,” Chopra said.

Mlodinow countered that “science is knowledge,” and that, “If people want to use the truth that science dis-covers for evil, that will al-ways be a possibility.”

According to the fore-ward of “War of the World-views,” the two writers met at a conference at the California Institute of Technology, on the topic of “the future of God.” After that, the two be-

gan speaking together at a number of public events, and decided to “have it out” in the book, which was pub-lished by Harmony Books ear-lier this month.

Each writer said he be-lieves it takes courage to es-pouse his worldview; Chopra said he had been criticized over the years for his theories on spirituality and healing, and Mlodinow for delivering “bad news” on such topics as death and free will.

Mlodinow said he be-lieves all living things are governed by immutable laws of nature and physics, rather than free will, and that he does not believe in a soul or the afterlife.

“Nobody really wants to hear that,” he said.

“If we don’t have free will, let’s forget about global warming and all be doomed

to extinction,” retorted Cho-pra.

While he doesn’t neces-sarily expect to convert read-ers to his way of thinking, Mlodinow said he hopes the book will help explain the sci-entific way of looking at the world. Science can explain such things as sunsets and tides, but for those who seek understanding of love, com-passion or evil, “that’s where you should look to spiritual endeavors for your issues.”

Chopra said science de-void of spirituality won’t solve the world’s problems, but that, “Science based on intent that values life can save this planet,” he said.

en, ranging from those who are concerned about possible adverse health effects, to those who consider it a form of compulsory mass medica-tion.

“It’s very controversial,” said Bardin.

Bardin said the Santa Fe district does not add fluoride when it treats drinking water at its R.E. Badger filtration plant for several reasons, in-cluding the added cost, po-tential opposition and a lack of demand for fluoridation from district customers.

California law requires water agencies with 10,000 or more service connections to add fluoride to their drink-ing water. Santa Fe falls be-low that threshold, and therefore is not mandated to fluoridate its water supply.

Fluoride was first added to drinking water in the United States in 1945, and its use has been controversial

since the beginning. Histori-cal accounts note that some opponents suggested the ad-dition of fluoride to public drinking water supplies was a “communist plot” to under-mine public health.

However, the U.S. Cen-ters for Disease Control has recognized fluoridated drink-ing water as one of the 10 most important public health achievements of the 20th century, a list that in-cludes vaccinations, im-proved motor-vehicle safety and recognition of the health hazards of tobacco use.

Numerous scientific studies have found that fluo-ridated water is an effective method to reduce tooth de-cay, said Dr. Richard Clark, director of medical toxicolo-gy at UC San Diego Medical Center.

“That’s why it’s in every tube of toothpaste that you

can buy,” said Clark. “It’s perfectly healthy.”

“The science is settled on this. It’s well known that (fluoride) prevents cavities and it’s not toxic,” he said.

No evidence exists of any negative health effects from fluoride at the low lev-els used in drinking water and toothpaste, Clark said.

But some continue to insist there are negative ef-fects. Michael Hogan, presi-dent of the Santa Fe Irriga-tion District Board of Direc-tors, said his sister told him she is sensitive to fluoride due to a medical condition, and wanted to be informed if fluoride is added to the dis-trict’s drinking water.

“There will be a segment of the population absolutely opposed to inserting a chem-ical into the water,” Hogan said.

According to the website of the California Department

of Public Health, about 67 percent of the U.S. popula-tion has access to fluoridated drinking water.

In San Diego County, about 70 percent of the drinking water supply is fluo-ridated, Bardin estimated.

The district is closing its filtration plant for a $1.5 mil-lion project to improve the facility’s disinfection process, Bardin said. Baffling will be installed in a 13-million-gal-lon treatment tank, which will increase the time that water is in contact with dis-infectants.

During the plant’s clo-sure, the district will receive treated water from the Met-ropolitan Water District’s treatment plant near Hemet, said Bardin.

Once the Badger plant reopens, fluoridated water will remain in the system for about two weeks, Bardin said.

URINARY INCONTINENCE YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT

BY KAREN BILLINGWhile Dr. Curtis Chan

has moved his dental prac-tice from Carmel Country Plaza to Sorrento Valley, he will return to run his third annual Great Halloween Candy Buy Back with North County Dance Arts. The Buy Back helps local children unload the Halloween candy they don’t need for a good cause. The candy is donated to troops overseas and chil-dren are given $1 per pound (up to five pounds).

The Buy Back will be held on Thursday, Nov. 3, between 3-7 p.m. at North County Dance Arts in Carm-el Country Plaza. The child must be present and must have or make a card for the troops in order to receive their cash. Each child will leave with a free toothbrush kit, to brush away any dam-age from the Halloween can-dy they kept.

Last year the drive was a big success, collecting 2,280 pounds. A whopping 910 pounds came from the den-tal buy back, with partners

Beanie babies and small stuffed animals are also collect-ed along with candy, and children will receive an extra prize for donating a stuffed animal. The troops often use candy and beanie babies to connect with local children in the area they are serving.

This year, for the first time, military serviceman will be at the Candy Buy Back so in addition to writing a heartfelt card, the children can personally say “Thank you” and show appreciation for their service.

BY MATT LIEBOWITZContributor

So many movies that make it to theatres are flashy, good-looking and glossy but ultimately vacuous. For kids, that usually goes double — they’re sugary, high-calorie doses of entertainment over-load with no redeeming value, no takeaway message. Man-tooth Films is out to change that, one film and one story at a time.

“Storytelling unites us,” said Dale Strack, who, along with Patti Judd and Emmy award-winning producer Tonya Mantooth, runs the Rancho Santa Fe-based film company Mantooth Films.

“We love to read good stories and tell good stories — we explain and teach through stories.”

The three-person production team’s love of solid story-telling is on full display in “Grave Secrets.” Starring Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner Diane Ladd and Jennifer Stone from the popular Disney series “Wizards of Waverly Place,” “Grave Secrets,” is Mantooth Films’ adaptation of the book of the same name, written in 1997 by New Jersey sisters Annette and Gina Cascone and published under the name A.G. Cascone.

“Grave Secrets” is the eighth book in the 17-book “Deadtime Stories” series of horror fiction novels, widely lauded not only for their entertainment but also for their kid-friendly bent and positive message.

“We’re over the moon about “Grave Secret,” Strack, a lo-cal entrepreneur, said. “It’s exciting because it [“Deadtime Sto-ries”] is a series based on great stores, and the evidence is in the cast. When Diane Ladd and Jennifer Stone want to be a part of it, that’s exciting.”

“You want to do projects that have great stories that con-vey a lesson and make people think and grow,” Strack added.

Tonya Mantooth said “Grave Secrets,” co-produced with filmmaking brothers Scott and David Hillenbrand (from the

“National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze” franchise), includes “very real, clever kid dialogue” and wraps its message in a fun and eerie plot. And for some real-time reassurance before the film comes out — it’s slated to be released in early 2012 in the-atres, DVD and TV — Mantooth and her partners prescreened the humorous horror flick to perhaps the toughest audience: a group of 11-year-olds. The results gave the producers a serious dose of encouragement.

“It was beyond like, they loved it,” said Judd, a San Diego native who brought her years of expertise in branding, publici-ty and marketing to Mantooth Films.

The week before showing “Grave Secrets” to their own children, the Mantooth team screened it for a focus group of 30 tweens. “Twenty-nine of 30 said they’d see it again,” Judd said.

The fun, however, isn’t just in the final product. Judd, Mantooth and Strack said the 16-day shoot, done off-lot in neighborhoods in Los Angeles and Ventura, was a wonderful experience, and often saw the set department totally trans-

forming the facades of homes. They even invited local kids into scenes.

“We had a blast working on the film,” Mantooth said. “That old saying about never working with child actors didn’t hold up on this project. The entire cast and crew were simply amazing.”

Of course, like any large-scale creative venture, “Grave Secrets” had its challenges. But the team was ready and em-braced the multi-pronged pro-cess. “It’s a balancing act,” Strack said. “There are so many mov-ing parts, and lots of people bring their talent and skill; or-chestrating all these people was fascinating.”

Mantooth agreed. “You have to love all the moving parts, and we do,” she said. Speaking about her colleagues, Mantooth sees each person’s particular skills as integral to the success of the final product. “We complement each other, and we all love managing all these big shifting pieces.”

The end result is, of course, what the trio behind Man-tooth Films is most excited about. And, fresh from recently seeing the film in its entirety, they couldn’t be happier about the way it all came together.

“When you can step back, look at what you’ve produced on screen and see the reaction, from laughing to crying to in-voking discussion, and you get something that can live on, that’s amazing,” Strack said.

“Grave Secrets” is just the beginning of Mantooth’s mis-sion: also in post- production is the thriller “Killer Holiday.” And Mantooth films is also working on the social drama “Bone Game” and another “Deadtime Stories” revamp, “The Witch-ing Game.”

Editor’s note: As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this newspaper is sharing several stories throughout the month about people who have survived the disease, as well as those working to im-prove their odds. Today we profile Jane Sawyer and Rosalie Huntley.

Breast Cancer stories: Surviving breast cancer ‘also brings gifts’

A conversation with Jane Sawyer:

1. When were you diagnosed and what type of diagno-sis did you receive?

I was diagnosed in fall 2009 at my annual mammogram appointment. My di-agnosis was Stage I Her2+ breast cancer. I was in disbelief when the doctor gave me the news, despite the fact I was no stranger to cancer. My mother had died eight years earlier from breast cancer, her onset was late in life and the type of cancer purportedly not heredi-tary. My sister, a non-smoker, had died a year before my mother, of Stage IV lung can-cer at age 45. Finally, I was treated for can-cer 20 years earlier, and had a hysterectomy, shortly after my son’s birth.

Part of why I was in shock with my breast cancer diagnosis was as a fearful new mother concerned about my mortality, I’d asked my oncologist, 20 years earlier, about the possibility of reoccurrence. No, he had said,my cancer was caught early and if ever I had cancer again, it would most probably be colorectal cancer, late in life. That state-ment stuck with me, verbatim. It was my warranty, engraved in memory, so I com-pletely denied myself the possibility of be-lieving I would ever contract breast cancer and the thought of sharing this warranty with my new oncologist, came to mind im-mediately. “Hey, wait a minute, there must be some mistake here... I’ve got a warran-ty!!”

2.) What type of treatment did you re-ceive?

I underwent one lumpectomy and a follow-up surgery to assure clean margins; then a year of Hereptin infusions that start-

ed concurrently with my six months of che-motherapy. A month after chemotherapy finished, I went through 36 radiation treat-ments.

3.) Was there any one person/thing/routine that served as your rock during this time? If so, please describe.

I think that keeping up some daily exer-cise really helped me. I’ve always been a walker, so although I couldn’t continue with my YMCA sport walking group because of fatigue, I did walk to my local supermarket to get groceries for dinner a lot and I walked the neighborhood, if only to the end of the block and back. Sometimes, I tried the treadmill and elliptical trainer. Mind you, these were not tough workouts, I think I was really proving something to myself. “Look, you’re not that sick... you went to the gym for a half hour. etc.” I do also remember the days of leaning hard on the CostCo cart for support, because of exhaustion. I also re-laxed by making color pencil notes and drawings in a hardbound notebook as I read motivating articles or books about cancer and healthy lifestyles, diet, etc. And, I sewed my own head covers during treatment.

4.) How did this diagnosis impact your finances? Did you have any insurance struggles?

My diagnosis was concurrent with a lay-off, and I looked for a job throughout the treatment and didn’t even think of going on disability until the last two months of treat-ment. Big mistake. I ran through a lot of savings, in part because I had taken early re-tirement after being reorganized out of my job and career three years earlier. I’d been working before this diagnosis, but really hadn’t bounced back to the same income or satisfaction with my work. Thankfully, I did retire with insurance benefits that were great throughout the treatment. I am blessed, also, to still have my 91-year-old father who helped out with some money.

Jane Sawyer

A conversation with Ro-salie Huntley:

1. When were you diag-nosed and what type of di-agnosis did you receive?

I was diagnosed early August 2010. My diagnoses was stage 3 / triple negative. I work in customer service, am a wife and mother. I was 48 when diagnosed. I am now 49.

2.) What type of treat-ment did you receive?

I had two lumpecto-mies, four rounds of chemo and 36 radiation treatments.

3.) Was there any one person/thing/routine that served as your rock during this time? If so, please de-scribe.

I had many rocks. God, my husband, our daughter,

my par-ents, my best friend, family and friends. My new friends at my breast cancer support group. I was also my own rock.

My husband was the Rock Team Captain.

4.) How did this diagno-sis impact your finances? Did you have any insurance struggles?

It did big time. I rarely got sick, maybe a cold for a couple days. So my deductible

Rosalie Huntley

was pretty high. 5.) Did this diagnosis

impact your work? If so, how?

I work six hours a day. So it wasn’t so bad. Going to work helped keep my mind off of cancer. My boss was very understanding. I didn’t let it impact my job.

6.) Is there anything about this experience you want people to know, that they may not know or is not commonly known?

I did not have a lump. I had a mass growing. It was found in a mammo-gram. There are so many types of breast cancer. Each one is unique. Join a sup-port group.

Don’t give up, be posi-tive. You will feel better.

5.) Did this diagnosis impact your work? If so, how?

I spent most of my career as a career counselor and outplacement consultant, so this, to me, is the most interesting part of the whole experience. I have always yab-bered about wanting to have my own busi-ness. Cancer served that opportunity up to me on a platter. In 2010, near the end of treatment, I started sewing and selling head-wear for chemo patients. I sell my trade-mark KerchiefPlus head cover online at www.thriveheadwear.com and in 60-plus hospitals, cancer treatment centers, bou-tiques, and wig shops. It’s a feel-good busi-ness because I’m providing an attractive, quality product; I’m proud of my designs, and I get a lot of positive feedback from cus-tomers. It’s a struggle now, but the business is growing steadily.

6.) Is there anything about this experi-

ence you want people to know, that they may not know or is not commonly known?

Whether or not you think you have a warranty, a cancer diagnosis comes as a shock and a challenge, but it also brings gifts. We slow down and live one day at a time, appreciating the good in our lives. We think through what is important to us and think about our futures in a different way. There are opportunities to find some good friends at support groups, and to let go of a lot of not-so-important notions and values that previously guided us. You can play the “C” card and beg off of stuff you don’t want to do because you don’t feel well enough... and probably never will again :-). Whether it’s careers, relationships, driving that car, living in that neighborhood, maintaining that lifestyle, cancer can be a sort of magnet-ic storm that plays with your compass, al-lowing you to finally find your true north.

On 10/10/10 I was 69 years old. On 10/10/11, I was 70 years old and on Dec. 7, 2011 it will be 70 years since the Empire of Japan’s at-tack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base, Hawaii, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech on Sun-day, Dec. 8, 1941 described the previous day as “a date which will live in infamy.”

On Dec. 7, 1941 my mother, Irene Duffy, and her girlfriend, Jessie Kelly, were together on Staten Island, NY, that fateful day holding each other and holding me, age two months and Kate Kelly, age three months. These two best friends prom-ised each other to be together on Dec. 7 no mat-ter what they were doing for as long as they could, and they did. Later, if they could not get together because of job opportunities elsewhere or family commitments, they called each other. Year after year they faithfully followed-up on their promise to each other to keep in touch on Dec. 7.

When my mother died in April 1982, my Dad picked up the tradition for her and called Jessie for the upcoming Dec. 7, and when Dad died in 1983, I continued the tradition. I picked up the phone and called Jessie. It was a very tearful conversation that first Dec. 7, 1983 when I placed that call be-cause of all the flooding memories. As the years

past it became more difficult to locate Jessie be-cause as she got older, she began to spend more and more time with each of her six children. Ev-ery year on Dec. 7, I never knew where I would find her, but wherever I did, she was always glad to spend a few minutes with me on the telephone. She made me feel closer to Mom and Dad as we reminisced the past and forecast the future.

Then in 1990 Jessie died. I hesitated at first to make the traditional Dec. 7 call to her daugh-ter that year, but I did not want the 49-year tradi-tion to end, so I picked up the phone once again on Dec. 7 and called Jessie’s youngest daughter, Roz, whom I had never met.

Over the years since, Roz and I called each other on that date which will live in infamy and exchanged family news. Roz and her sisters and brothers even came to San Diego on their boat one year to visit me and my family after we left Staten Island in 1999. So then I finally got to meet her and her grown up siblings whom I played with many years ago.

Three years ago I met Roz and Kate again in Florida with my sister, Irene, after we had all re-tired. We shared many memories of our parents and the many wondrous days we all spent togeth-er so long ago.

This past January, 2011 I had the opportuni-ty for the first time in almost 70 years to visit the Memorial to the Battleship U.S.S. Arizona which was sunk on Dec. 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor off the island of Oahu, Hawaii. This memorial is in honor of the memory of those brave men and women who died on that date of infamy. The si-lence of the thousands of visitors present was in-spiring. To this day, we were told by the docent, oil continues to escape from the Arizona’s oil tanks far below the water after 70 years under the ocean.

Now, as Dec. 7, 2011 is quickly approaching I cannot believe I will be 70 years old and a more than 70-year friendship continues to unfold.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those lost on the day Pearl Harbor was bombed, and a 70-year friendship between two best friends and their extended families continues to be alive and flourishing. Perhaps, after me, my daughter will continue this tradition, the tradition of two best friends, and truly, this will be “a date which will live in infamy.”

St. James-St. Leo Catholic Community celebrates its centennial

An enthusiastic crowd filled La Colonia Park Sunday afternoon, Sept. 25, for the “The Way,” a festival celebrating 100 years of faith for the St. James - St. Leo’s Catholic Community. Canopies filled the park showcasing Church Ministries and offering a diverse menu of specialty foods, desserts, face painting, activities and field games for adults and children. The stage was a burst of vibrant energy with a four-hour line up of spiritual song that included St. Leo’s dancers, parish-ioner Earl Flores, the “Singing Cowboy,” and Jackie Francois.

Though the current church, located at 650 South Nardo, is a far cry from its humble beginnings outside the Rock Haus on 15th Street, Del Mar, where St. James Catholic Church initially began, and parishioners sat alongside a dusty Highway 101 near a myriad of horses, buggies and wagons to celebrate Mass, as others traveled lengthy distances from the back country and up the coast to wor-ship, Father John Howard, the 10th and current Pastor will tell you, “the faith is as alive and well in this community as when Bishop Thomas Conaty led it in 1911.” Thousands of parishioners later, including diverse cross-generational cul-tural families, all surely have something to celebrate. Happy 100th birthday St. James! — Maria McEneany

SCRIPPScontinued from page 4Panama City, Florida, of Ital-ian heritage and grew up in Alabama.

“My dad was a ‘lifer’ in the military for more than 30 years,” Buzachero said. “Initially, because he was a skier and spoke Italian, he served with the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division fighting the Germans in the Italian Alps during WW II and later joined the Air Force as a commissioned officer, who when he retired went to work as a civil servant in the Space Race at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala-bama, where [Wernher] von Braun and all the German scientists were building rock-ets [for the U.S. Army].”

Von Braun, a former Nazi war hero and scientist, eventually was appointed di-rector of NASA’s rocket devel-opment of the Saturn rockets that propelled American as-tronauts to the moon.

Buzachero earned his B.B.A. degree in industrial relations from the Universi-ty of Alabama in 1974.

All through school, he had worked in fast-food res-taurants. In college, he man-aged two restaurants and af-ter a brief stint in sales and marketing at a radio station in Decatur, Alabama — where he met and married his wife, Nancy — he re-turned to restaurant man-agement and subsequently purchased two fast-food franchises in Decatur and Birmingham with his broth-er-in-law.

From his experience in the fast-food business, he learned the critical impor-tance of hiring the right people and developing an engaged team.

His first job in human resources in the health field was creating campaigns on radio, television and at col-leges to recruit nurses for a hospital in Birmingham, in the late 1970s.

Subsequently, he him-self was recruited by the Bap-tist Health System, also in Birmingham, as a compensa-tion manager and later pro-moted to corporate vice pres-ident of human resources.

He then co-founded an HR health consultancy in Cincinnati.

It was successful, but it required a lot of travel, he said, and, at the time, he and his wife had two small children, so after three-and-

a-half years, he opted to re-turn to corporate HR, with Texas Health Resources in Dallas, Banner Health Sys-tem in Phoenix, Arizona, and, just prior to joining Scripps, as special assistant to the CEO of the Provi-dence Health System in Se-attle, Washington.

“And because it’s rainy most of the time in Seattle I came to San Diego,” he quipped.

Over the past 10 years, Buzachero is credited with starting each fiscal year with a workforce strategic plan to define the HR plan going forward and communicating it to the staff.

He then developed a strategy to lower the compa-ny’s reliance on temporary, premium-paid registered nurses from 20 percent in 2001 to below 8 percent to-day, resulting in a more sta-ble permanent staff and more than $100 million in reduced labor costs annually.

He and his staff also created a new compensation strategy for nurses that in-cludes salary reviews every six months with merit in-creases and bonuses for in-creased patient satisfaction that has helped reduce the turnover rate of RNs from 25

percent in 2002 to 8.6 per-cent last year.

Also, in 2002, Buzache-ro launched the first, com-pany-wide annual employee engagement survey which initially indicated that only 58 percent of its employees considered Scripps a great place to work. In 2010, that figure climbed to 88 percent.

“We don’t just survey, but we use that information to work with employees to make direct improvements in the workplace,” Buzache-ro said. “By staying on the cycle and coming back to the employees after first get-ting feed-back, talking with them, doing action plans, after a couple of years peo-ple began to trust … that we were going to do what we said we would do.”

The two questions asked in the survey are: What makes this a good place to work and what would make this a better place?

The last survey generat-ed some 2,000 pages of com-ments.

“Chris [Van Gorder] and I read them. We read them all,” Buzachero said. “And we do something about them.”

BY MARK DAUGHTERS, INTERLACED INC.

Apple just unveiled their latest iPhone. The iPhone fiv... wait. iPhone 4S? Huh? This can’t be right. Apple must have missed a bad auto-correc-tion when typing this up. I mean, this phone has a faster processor, amazing camera, 4G speeds, stronger cell reception, and a totally new voice activated assistant feature. It has to be the iPhone 5.

On paper, the only thing the iPhone 4S doesn’t have that the iPhone 5 was “sup-posed” to have is a new outer case and a big-ger screen. This raises a good question, would people who are disappointed with the iPhone 4S be satisfied with the exact same phone if it were simply called the iPhone 5?

“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

This naming structure is suggesting that Apple is in a two year release pattern to help people cope with the long two-year carrier agreements they sign with the purchase of new iPhones. Remember the iPhone 3GS came out after the iPhone 3G, and was seen as a modest upgrade.

But for those who had the original iPhone the upgrade was too good to pass up. Perhaps this generation phone isn’t meant to entice people with the iPhone 4, so much as the people with the iPhone 3Gs. Most people (who are not insane, like myself.) don’t upgrade their phone every year. Apple can take their time and focus on making great software strides one year, and then great hardware improvements the next. This is all an assumption, as this is only Apple’s fifth iPhone release.

Could Apple keep this same design next year? Very possible. John Gruber of Daring-Fireball.net points out: “Apple isn’t going to make a new form factor just for the sake of newness itself — they make changes only if the changes make things decidedly better. Thinner, stronger, smaller, more efficient. If they don’t have a new design that brings about such adjectives, they’re going to stick with what they have.”

Regarding screen size. Apple has never change the size of their iPhone display. Ever. It seems obvious that they’ve figured out the best size screen for their phones through

years of research and development. Even though other competitors phones might have a huge screen, does that mean it is bet-ter? By that rationale the bigger screen, the better phone. Want a 10 inch screen on your iPhone? Buy an iPad.

Apple does an amazing job of doing all the legwork to make sure that we don’t get a feature that actually makes the experience worse. Have they even tried an iPhone with a bigger screen? Of course. Smaller screens too. I’m sure the great minds in Cupertino have tried designs we can’t event think of. But they picked the current size screen for a reason. It makes the most sense for a device we use with our thumbs. A larger screen would make vital areas of the screen un-reachable when using the device with one hand.

Thus making the overall experience of using the phone worse. What makes this phone stand apart the most is Siri. The new voice command system that’s built into the iPhone, that make something like writing a newspaper article about the new iPhone as simple as talking. You can ask Siri anything from “Text my wife that I’m running late to dinner” to “Where Is the nearest Apple store?” to “How many cups in a gallon?” Siri delivers correct results immediately, and sometimes with some sass.

Telling Siri to “Shut up” gets a “Did I deserve that?” come back. What I’m proba-bly going to use Siri for most, is reading and replying to text messages. This can be done while the phone is still in my pocket while driving over my cars Bluetooth system.

For those of you with an iPhone 4 al-ready, is this a worthy upgrade? That de-pends. Are you crazy like me and buy any-thing with an Apple logo on it as soon as it comes out? If so then this is the phone for you! If you have an older iPhone you’ll be very pleased with all the enhancements that have happened since you upgraded last. If you’re using an Android or a BlackBerry, you’ve been missing out on the promised land for quite a long time. For you, there’s been no better time to join the cult of Apple by getting the latest and greatest iPhone. If you can find one, that is.

BY CLAIRE HARLINStaff Writer

If you were royalty go-ing out to eat in Japan, you’d probably dine in a private room sitting cross-legged. You’d be served by a waitress wearing a kimono, you’d drink fine sake and the chef would serve you a traditional 10-course “oma kase” meal — meaning “chef’s choice.”

But even if you’re not royalty, there’s a restaurant in Solana Beach where you can go to get that same treat-ment. Samurai Restaurant, located at 979 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, offers reservation-only private dining with 10- or eight-course meals, which manager Eric Song said is great for those looking to have an upscale business lunch or try new dishes in an extravagant way.

“The chef picks dishes with the freshest fish,” said Song. “People don’t have to

worry about what to order and they feel like kings.”

Song helps his father, Charlie Song, run the restau-rant, which has been part of the Solana Beach communi-ty since 1979. The Songs, from Korea, were one of the first families to open a sushi restaurant in the San Diego area, and a number of chefs from Samurai have gone on to open their own successful restaurants, such as Nobu in Solana Beach, Bluefin Fusion Japanese Restaurant in La Jolla and Toshi Sushi in El Cajon.

“Back then, it was only us. Now every block has a sushi restaurant,” said Char-lie Song about being at the forefront of the sushi move-ment. “It was a big hit in the United States because it’s healthy, and people enjoy eating it because it’s unique.”

Charlie also pointed out that many sushi restaurants

don’t serve “real sushi.” Su-shi rolls, for example, are not traditional, as opposed to ni-geri (just the raw fish).

“Sometimes they are even baking sushi, which is not the real way,” said Char-lie. “And in Japan, they don’t put mayo on their su-shi.”

The Songs were also one of the first to bring teppan-yaki-style cuisine to San Di-ego. Charlie said when he started doing teppanyaki, in which guests sit around an iron griddle and watch the chef’s elaborate cooking methods right before their eyes, Benihana was the only other place doing it.

To add another dining experience to Samurai’s of-ferings, guests can sit at what could be the longest sushi bar they’ve ever sat at, and the restaurant offers happy hour from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

“Our bar sits over 50

people,” said Eric, who recently at-tended college in Boston and plays football, basketball and baseball. “It’s definitely the lon-gest sushi bar in San Diego.”

Eric said he’s lucky to continue the rich legacy that Samurai has im-planted in the Sola-na Beach commu-nity. The restau-rant, originally situ-ated on Highway 101, was started by his grandfather, who passed away in 1992. He is still much a part of the restau-rant, however, because his hand-painted Asian-inspired murals adorn two large walls.

Eric said he loves work-ing with his dad and “not a lot of people get that father-son relationship.”

“I look up to my dad and grandfather because they are successful business-men,” said Eric, adding that the men came to the United States with almost nothing.

“That’s what I love about our family. We have a lot of de-termination.”

Torrey Pines Pop Warner 2011 Jr. Mighty Mite Golden Falcons prove to be unbeatable, finishing the season 9-0. Led by Coach Sean Doheny, they have outscored their opponents 241- 51. According to their coaches, the reason they have been so successful is because “ev-ery player does his job. We have many talented kids, but the fact is, they play like a team.”

They are now preparing for the Chocolate Chip Bowl in Temecula, where the top-ranked teams from Carlsbad, Escondido, Fallbrook, La Costa Canyon, Murrietta, Oceanside, Poway Ramona, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, San Marcos, Scripps Ranch, Temec-ula, Torrey Pines, Valley Center, Vista and Wildomar will compete.

Team Roster: Head Coach Sean Doheny, Assistant Coaches Jeff Martini, Rob Nelson, Todd Saier, Jon Thomason, Greg Williams, John Wilson.

Solana Beach Soccer Club’s Girls U16 team undefeated at season mid-point

The Solana Beach Soccer Club’s Girls U16 team has reached mid-point of the season with an undefeated (5-0-1) record, and is in second place in the prestigious and difficult Pre-sidio League. The team is led by forward/midfielders Georgie Lawson and Mariel Cathcart, and has the stingiest defense in the league—allowing only 6 goals all season.

It is challenging to field a recreational soccer team after the players reach high school age. Players tend to focus on high school sports, or find other interests and drop recreation-al athletics altogether. But, 18 girls from six different high schools (Canyon Crest Academy, Cathedral Catholic, La Jolla Country Day, San Dieguito Academy, Santa Fe Christian and Torrey Pines) have chosen to lace on their booties and kick the ball around each weekend with their ‘mates. Some of the girls have played rec. soccer in SBSC for a decade, while oth-ers have played for competitive teams before returning to SBSC. Many of the girls have been teammates for years, and often have a better idea of where they want to play than their coaches.

“I set the line-up very carefully,” says Head Coach and SBSC Board Member Jeff Lyle, “but, then I look up to see that two of the players have changed sides. ‘What’s going on girls?’ I’ll ask. And, they’ll tell me, ‘Chloe is better on the left side,’ or ‘Ary prefers right de-fender.’ Sometimes we have to be more directive, but, so far, it’s working.”

Assistant coach Tim Pickwell says the girls are goofy, until challenged. “We had a poor pre-game warm-up, one game, and looked like we were asleep at the opening kick-off. The other team scored in less than a minute. But, then the girls got fired up and took it to them. They love the competition.”

SOLANA BEACH SUN

The Carmel Valley Dons Tackle Football 5th grade team has started its season with an impressive four-game winning streak. In a recent game against the Chula Vista Aztecs, the Dons players demonstrated a strong offensive show by putting up 40 points against the Az-tecs. Outstanding line play by Grant Anderson (5), Justin Vilchis (34), Logan Berzins (11), Cole Shearson (22), Leo Silverman (55) and Raymond Sanchez (9) proved too powerful. Crew Fritsch (56) added, “these guys are beasts with an average weight of 110 lbs. per player, anyone can run behind our Offensive Line.”

Not to be outdone, running backs William Alter (15), Edin Gonzalez (32), Owen Davies (83), and Ethan Kreutzmann all had long impressive runs. First-year wide receiver, Young Soo Kim (6) caught an impressive 40-yard pass for a touchdown from team captain Jack Foate (20) and Chaz Talman (1) scored his first touchdown on an impressive sweep of 15 yards.

The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football League was formed in 2010 to create a highly competitive Division 1 Youth Football Program to prepare top athletes for high school foot-ball. The League’s home stadium is Cathedral Catholic High School (CCHS) and players proudly wear the colors of CCHS. Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High football players, much of the team’s first year success can be attributed to the support of Cathedral’s Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle and Athletic Director David Smola.

1. What brought you to this area? I was born and brought up in Northern Eng-

land. After graduating university I came to San Diego hoping to do a Ph.D. in Russian Studies at UCSD, where my older brother taught. I ended up falling in love with North County, stayed and ended up getting a Ph.D. in psychology, with an expertise in personality.

2. What makes your work special to you? Growing up in England with my extended

family in one house, I was struck by all the un-necessary conflict among the adults. What I like about my work now is that I get to work with dif-ferent personalities, helping people understand themselves and one another better so they can get the best out of each other. It’s very rewarding to help people feel better using the science of per-sonality and the techniques of psychotherapy.

Artist creates altar oflove and spirit

BY CLAIRE [email protected]

Between now and Nov. 7, guests of Leaping Lotus in Solana Beach can enjoy more than the thousands of trinkets and pieces of art for sale in the shop, but they can relish a culturally educa-tional exhibit that’s not only extravagant, but partic-ularly special to the man who made it.

Artist Todd Swenke, who specializes in painting the colorfully-adorned skeletons

that characterize Dia de los Muertos, has erected three large and elaborate

altars at the entrance of the shop, which not only bring attention to the Latino holi-day, but also pay homage to his own family members who have passed on.

As tradition has it, Dia De Los Muertos is a time when the dead return home to vis-it loved ones, feast on their favorite foods and listen to their favorite music. Swenke has traditionally honored deceased family members in

his own home, and for the past to years, he has brought his altars, which tower at least six feet in height and have multiple tiers filled with offerings, two Leaping Lotus.

Swenke isn’t Hispanic, but he said “the altars can tran-scend any culture.

“It’s about paying homage to those you respect,” he said. “It’s a beautiful way to honor family members who are deceased.”

Dia de los Muer-tos starts on Nov. 1, a day that is dedicated to the children and in-fants, and ends on Nov. 2, the day that is dedicated to deceased adults.

A Montana na-tive, Swenke’s al-

tars contain black-and-white photos of his Western great grandparents, and items from his wife’s family are also featured on the colorful, hand-painted altar shelves. He included a bottle of Kah-lua — his grandmother’s fa-vorite spirit — many flowers and jewels, artificial foods and a number of hand-painted Dia de los Muertos skeletal figures and skulls. Also included are colorful soaps, water and a towel — so the dead can be cleansed after their journey.

Similarly themed paint-ings hang throughout the shop and altar display, one of which was the collabora-tive effort of Swenke and his 18-year-old daughter, Tiffa-ny, who is pursuing a fine arts degree. The painting, ti-

“This altar represents love and admi-ration, for those people closest to our hearts, that have had a profound effect on us. They have passed on to another place and time, but their spirit lives on all around us and makes us who we are …” — Todd and Carla Swenke SEE ALTAR, PAGE B23

BY WILL BOWENContributor

“The image of pirates presented by writers, such as Robert Lewis Stevenson and Daniel Defoe, is false,” claims Stanley Wahlens, UCSD Extension Division advisor and pirate aficiona-do. “Pirates like William Kidd were actually agents of the British government with a license to plunder Spanish ships.”

Wahlens, along with about 50 other individuals, mostly UCSD staff and fac-ulty, came to listen to a scholarly and intriguing lec-ture by UCSD history profes-sor Mark G. Hanna titled, “A Nest of Pirates: Piracy and the Formalization of the First British Empire,” held on Oct. 20 in the Seuss Room at the Geisel Library on campus.

The lecture was given in connection with the exhibit, “Unburying Treasure: Py-rates at Geisel,” which is lo-cated on the main floor of the library.

Marlayna Christensen, Outreach Librarian at Geisel, who helped curate the ex-

hibit with Hanna said, “The exhibit features songbooks, videos, records, books and a rogues gallery of different

pirates. It reveals everything you might want to know about pirate lifestyle and weaponry. It will be up through January 2012.”

Hanna, who earned his Ph.D. from Harvard Univer-sity, with a dissertation on the impact of pirates on Newport and Charlestown, Rhode Island from 1670-1730, said he was never par-ticularly interested in pirates growing up and never planned to make the study of pirates his lifelong avoca-tion.

His original interest was fatherhood in America, he explained, but as he was giv-ing a talk on an American father named William Har-ris, who had been captured by pirates, he noticed the audience was most fascinat-ed and had the most ques-tions about the part of his paper on pirates. These questions led him to go back and redo his search of the records on pirates.

According to Hanna, fictional writers and Holly-wood have given us a mis-leading picture of pirates as swashbuckling social out-

casts, outlaws, and enemies of mankind who remained that way their entire lives. “Many pirates eventually settled down to respectable lives,” he said. “And pirates were very different in differ-ent time periods. The John-ny Depp portrayal of Cap-tain Jack Sparrow would only be valid for the very short time period of 1713 to 1730.”

Hanna found that many communities on the periphery of the English Em-

pire supported pirates be-cause pirates brought in money (from the business of repairing and refitting their ships) and other resources (such as slaves, who they captured during their acts of piracy).

Pirate James Brown married the daughter of a deputy governor and was se-lected for political office in New England, while pirate Thomas Cromwell was wel-comed by John Winter the governor of Boston as a

“God’s Send.” Captain Hen-ry Morgan, whose image is depicted on Morgan Rum bottles, was given permis-sion to plunder the Spanish colonies and was eventually knighted. He later bought a plantation in Jamaica and ended up executing other pirates!

Some communities, like the Quakers in eastern Dela-ware, tolerated and protect-ed pirates from prosecution because the pirates only at-tacked ships owned by Mus-lims — a religion the Quak-ers thought was a product of the Antichrist. The pirates who walked freely in their midst were also a guarantee against further religious per-secution by the British Crown.

Hanna said historical documents reveal that when it comes to pirates, it’s diffi-cult to sort fact from fiction, but generalizations about them are wrong; pirates have gotten a bad rap, and ended up as everyone’s scapegoat, be it for their an-ti-capitalist lifestyle or flam-boyant clothing or aberrant sexual norms.

SOLANA BEACH SUN

head start on the fast-ap-proaching Holiday Season, check out the Del Mar Pla-za’s complimentary pre-sea-son shopping and tasting event, “Passport To Style at Del Mar Plaza,” which will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 6 -9 p.m.

The event features the best in quality merchandise, clothing, gifts and services paired with tempting food offerings and cocktails from participating restaurants and eateries. This is the first year that Passport To Style is be-ing offered, said Hilary Townsend, a spokesperson for the plaza. It is an oppor-tunity for shoppers to check out the plaza’s recent chang-es and upgrades and meet new merchants. Customers will be able to stroll though the plaza in an unhurried way, savor tasty bites, enjoy a complimentary cocktail, check out the latest mer-chandise, and have a pre-season shopping experience in a festive atmosphere with incredible views.

In total, 13 merchants are participating in the event. Customers will check in at the restaurant Pacifica Del Mar where they will be given a passport. In visiting each participating store or restaurant in the plaza, a stamp will be impressed on the passport. When a pass-port is full, customers will be eligible for a complimentary dessert at the end of the eve-ning, said Townsend.

There will be a compli-mentary food tasting at Pa-cifica Del Mar featuring sea-food and dessert. “Custom-ers are invited to try our oys-ters on the half shell, ahi tuna with tartar, and our sig-nature crème brûlée and bite sized candied apple,” said restaurant partner Chef Chris Idso. The restaurant is also offering a 20 percent discount certificate for use at

a later date.Some of the participat-

ing restaurants will have happy hour specials that preempt the event. Del Mar Rendezvous will offer happy hour pricing from 4 - 6 p.m. Customers may also enjoy a free glass of red or white wine or a Sapporo pint from 4 -7 p.m., along with free food samples and a glass of Rombauer Chardonnay, which may be purchased at the reduced price of $9.

BY KELLEY CARLSON

P atrons of The Fish Market restaurant in Solana Beach seem to be hooked

on the fresh catch offered daily. Whether it’s in the retail market or in the dining area, there’s something for everyone — from species in season to locally caught varieties like swordfish.

Customers can get a jumpstart on their day with a stop at the retail market, which opens at 10 a.m., an hour before the restaurant. Located just inside the front entrance, the seafood — much of it glistening in varying shades of pink — is on display under glass. A shopper may find Pacific opah (moonfish), Mexican yellowtail, Pacific mahi mahi, Alaskan halibut, black mussels or Sea of Cortez prawns, and much more.

“It’s (the market) essentially the showpiece of what’s on the menu; it’s a purposeful place for people to buy fresh fish,” said Jim Wendler, president of The Fish Market. “People know us for having an extremely high-quality product.”

There’s also smoked fish, produced out of The Fish Market’s facility in South San

Francisco, and prepared foods, such as chowders, that are made from scratch on the premises. However, customers won’t find unsustainable species, such as Chilean sea bass or orange roughy, Wendler said.

For guests who dine in the restaurant, there’s so many options they can try something new each time they come in and never repeat, according to Wendler. The menu changes a couple of times daily, and is driven by the types of fresh fish that are available.

The fresh fish entrees are mesquite grilled, and any of them can be made Cajun or blackened. Among the house specialties offered is Our Famous Dungeness Crab Cioppino, consisting of prawns, finfish, scallops, calamari, clams,

mussels and cockles with house-made marinara sauce and garlic bread. A group of three or four people may want to try the Smoked Fish Sampler, with trout, salmon, nova lox and albacore.

There’s Fish Tacos, served with ranchero-style black beans; panko-style fish and chips; and seafood sandwiches and pastas.

Not a fan of underwater species? Try one of a handful of salads, or order the Boneless All-Natural Jidori Chicken Breast or Omaha Natural New York Steak.

Children can stay occupied with an activity booklet while enjoying food from their own special menu with pizza, pasta, shrimp, fish and chicken.

To add to a patron’s unique dining experience, the nautically themed restaurant has seven

seating areas, featuring seafaring characters etched in glass, and murals by Wyoming artist Jocelyn Slack, along with artwork of boats and other marine scenes. Kick back at the oyster bar — where oysters are served on the half shell with Asian-style Mignonette or cocktail sauce — and drink a glass of wine. Perch on a stool in the dimly lit full-service lounge/bar, or anchor yourself in the bar patio that is reminiscent of a greenhouse.

There’s plenty of room to maneuver in the spacious main dining room, but when it’s busy, the back dining room with its removable partitions becomes another destination. The deck has a plank-type of wood on the floor, with small lamps on the tables and multiple-paned win-dows. For a little privacy, there’s Fred’s Room, named for Fish Market Restaurants Inc. founder Fred Duckett, which can ac-commodate parties of up to 17.

“We’ve been in the business for 35 years,” Wendler said. “Seafood is a complicated product to deal with, but we have earned trust from our customers over the years, and we have the quality that they appreciate.”

BY KELLEY CARLSONMichael Moore was

only 50 years old when he was given the grim news that he had stage 4 bile duct cancer.

But out of his life-threatening illness, the idea for an organization to help others affected by cancer was born.

Live Moore provides fi-nancial aid to families af-fected by stage 4 cancer, and also helps fund research for gastrointestinal forms of the disease.

It was “Mike’s heart and soul — he loved to help peo-ple,” said his wife, Veronica Moore.

Mike’s diagnosis came as a shock to his family and friends. The Detroit native lived in Southern California most of his life and was very active. According to Veroni-ca, Mike worked out five days a week, enjoyed martial arts and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and was an annual competi-tor in the Camp Pendleton 10K Mud Run. He had a ca-reer in mortgage banking for more than 20 years, and eventually served as divi-sional president of Prospect Mortgage.

“He had been perfectly healthy,” Veronica said.

But in August 2010, Mike started complaining of stomach pains and took two

days off of work, “which was unusual,” she added.

After several tests, it was determined that Mike had an ulcer. But during another exam, he felt pain when the doctor pressed on his liver. Blood work revealed that Mike’s liver enzymes were elevated; just weeks before, another blood test had indi-cated that the enzymes were normal.

Just after his cancer di-agnosis — but before know-ing the type and the severity — Mike proposed to Veroni-ca, after three-and-a-half years of courtship. Veronica said that he had wanted to solidify their relationship.

“When you love some-body, you’re in it through

thick and thin,” she said.One week after the pro-

posal, Mike found it was stage 4 bile duct cancer. And despite the prognosis, Mike and Veronica married on Oct. 9, 2010.

Meanwhile, the Moores were in a financial position where they could stop work-ing and focus on fighting the disease and spending time with each other and their family, including Mike’s son Ryan and daugh-ter Amanda.

In an effort to help the Moores, Mike’s colleagues and friends contributed a few thousand dollars as a gift. Although Mike declined it, he still wanted to show his appreciation. He knew of a man in Chula Vista diag-nosed with stage 4 liver can-

Local resident continues husband’s work to help families affected by stage 4 cancer, fund research

Mike and Veronica Moore (right) with Mike’s son Ryan (left) and daughter Amanda.

Mike and Veronica Moorecer who had to keep work-ing to support his wife and three children, and decided to establish Live Moore.

“Mike called the family and said he wanted to start an organization and wanted to help,” Veronica recalled. “She’s (the wife) crying, I’m crying ...”

Several days after the Moores made the donation to the family, the man passed away.

Sadly, Mike did not live to see other financial gifts made by his organization — he died weeks later, on Dec. 8, surrounded by family and loved ones.

Since then, Mike’s friends have come together to move the organization forward in his memory. The first fundraiser, titled “A Cel-ebration of Life,” was held earlier this year at the Fair-mont Newport Beach hotel and attracted 500 guests. A dinner was also held at Tom-my V’s in Del Mar on Oct. 15. Veronica noted that ran-dom people have made do-

nations online, at www.livemoore.org.It’s estimated that $60,000 has been raised so far, she

said. The money is divided 50-50 between families affected by any type of stage 4 cancer with financial hardship, and physicians and researchers at UCSD who are developing ear-ly detection techniques and better treatments for patients with gastrointestinal cancers.

“There’s no real funding for GI cancers,” Veronica said. “There aren’t that many cases in comparison to other (types, such as breast cancer, etc.).”

Veronica said that Live Moore has aided three families so far, with a fourth “in the making.” A $10,000 donation was recently made to UCSD, she added.

Meanwhile, Live Moore has set a fundraising goal of $60,000 to support a biostatistics database needed for devel-oping the assessment of response markers, or biomarkers, which are substances in an organism whose presence indi-cate a disease or infection. Molecular profile screening of pa-tients using biomarkers can optimize personalized treatment with the best specific chemotherapy for each patient.

The organization is still in the grass-roots stage, Veroni-ca acknowledged.

“Everyone (who is part of it) works,” she said. “This is something done in their spare time.”

However, Veronica said Live Moore hopes to plan one grand event each year, in October, and get the word out about its existence.

Mike’s son Ryan, who just started medical school at UC Irvine, is active with the organization, primarily with the medical side, communicating with doctors at UCSD. Veroni-ca’s focus is with the families in need of financial aid.

Along with promoting Live Moore and raising funds, Veronica works at staying positive. She continues to live in Carmel Valley, and is a Realtor with Prudential, John Leffer-dink & Associates in Rancho Santa Fe/Del Rayo. Her therapy is exercise, and she loves running on the beach.

In fact, Veronica was featured in Shape magazine’s “You in Shape” feature in October after sharing her story about Mike and her efforts to stay fit as mental and physical thera-py. She received the call about her selection from Shape on what would’ve been Mike’s 51st birthday.

“I can’t help but think he was looking over me,” Veron-ica said.

She noted that along with workouts, she did a lot of reading and journaling early on. The 37-year-old also found friends around her age who have also lost their husbands to cancer.

“They’ve been a positive influence,” Veronica said.“I surround myself with family and friends, and don’t

put things off,” she added.

What is trash? What impact does it have on our lives? How can we deal with it in more sensible ways? When and how does trash become art?

These are some of the questions addressed by a new exhibition at the New Children’s Museum.

Shazam! Twelve artists create imaginative installa-tions from rubbish. Pretty patterns formed by magne-tized metallic dust from old TV and computer parts. A crawl-through maze deco-rated with used clothes. A modern-day midden full of plastic throwaways. A lacy cloud of plastic bags. An il-luminated Styrofoam rocket flying over jagged card-board peaks and climbable walls.

The exhibit, which opened with a community block party the weekend of Oct. 15, will run through Fall 2013.

“We’re not like tradi-tional museums, which keep changing exhibits. Our exhibits run two years. Our visitors LIKE coming back,” said Rachel Teagle, NCM’s

executive director and chief curator who has been part of the museum since 2007, a year before it opened.

“We look for artists who understand what it means to take kids serious-ly,” she said.

“We try to present real issues, and still keep things playful. We want kids to have fun thinking about

things. Then we have a real-ly big opportunity to have the information stick.”

With TRASH, she looked for artists who were already interested in the subject, an increasingly popular one in today’s art world, where eco-wise art-ists are finding other peo-ple’s junk and their own a good source of material.

“We have open calls for artists, inviting them to submit ideas,” Teagle said. “Mikey Eastman came to us through our open call, and we’re proud to say this is his first exhi-bition.”

Eastman, who uses electromagnets made from copper wire in old com-puter fans and metallic

residue from ground-down electronic devices to create delicate dust sculp-tures, is a San Diegan, as is Jessica McCambley, whose lacy plastic-bag clouds invite contempla-tion. The majority of the TRASH artists are Califor-nians, but Vik Muniz is from Brazil, home of the world’s largest landfill. His oversized photographs give grandeur to the gar-bage-pickers who roam through the dump, recy-cling whatever they can.

One of the main-floor attractions is Kianga Ford’s playspace made of wire mesh and plastic bottles. The artist interviewed kids on both sides of the Mexi-can border, and found that, while most said recycling was important, they didn’t know why.

“Because you get a real-ly big fine if you don’t,” one said.

“TRASH opens up com-plicated issues that even adults don’t consider,” said Teagle. “There are no easy answers, but we have to start asking the core ques-tions: Where does our stuff come from? And where does it go? How many of us

know that the average American tosses out 4.5 pounds of waste every day?”

Daily workshops show kids how to make their own art out of trash, things like “midden monsters,” glow-ing space sculptures, or photos of garbage. And par-ents are welcome to join in the fun.

common ailments, such as pain, anxiety, insomnia, and asthma. Clovershield, Inc. has developed a state-of-the-art device while working with clinical herbalists to introduce organic, all-natural herbal blends as viable options to pharmaceuticals. Vaporization delivers the herbal medicine to the pulmonary system and into the bloodstream safely and instantly for immediate results, without harmful side effects.

“Designing the Herbalizer device was easy,” quotes CEO and Founder Josh Young, a Bird Rock resident and former NASA engineer and as for funding the project he says “We have had a lot of interest from VC’s, but we are much more interested in finding Angel Investors.” Pilot testing and focus groups underway have proven results for asthma relief and sleeplessness, taking effect not in minutes or hours, but in seconds. The success makes vaportherapy a serious consumer option in the $15 billion annual alternative medicine market in the United States.

Vaporizers – Not Just For Marijuana Anymore

BY DIANA SAENGER Let’s Review!

“Heroes,” a heartwarming look back (and forward) on the lives of three World War 1 heroes living out their days in a veter-ans’ home, won the Laurence Ol-ivier Best New Comedy Award in 2006. Translated by Tom Stop-pard from French playwright Gérald Sibleyras’ script, the North Coast Repertory Theatre version, stars Ray Reinhardt as Henri, Ken Ruta as Gustave, and Jonathan McMurtry as Philippe.

The production is entertain-ing but not sensational. Howev-er, with three sterling actors playing these roles under expert direction by David Ellenstein, there is a strength and professionalism to the show that should not be missed.

The drama opens on the trio sitting on a lovely, serene patio. Henri, Gustave and Philippe speak not a word as each enjoys his own recollections. But when Henri breaks the silence, Gustave goes through a hilarious tirade of why he hates all the months of the year, and then moves on to the seasons and birthdays.

The conversation turns to their resi-dence and how annoying they find Sister Madeline (not seen). She’s about to host a birthday party for one of the residents. Philippe announces that not only does he hates these, but he worries that anyone who has the same birthday as another resi-dent, will find one of them dead.

Grasping for their last hoorahs and planning to escape, the men find new hope in their “campaign.”

The play’s plot is thin. It’s the charac-ters and their idiosyncrasies that keep the banter funny and moving.

Gustave is a dapper but grumpy war hero who talks to a stone statue of a dog on the patio, reads, and answers Philippe’s let-ters from his sister because Philippe is tired of them. He and Philippe enjoy taunting Henri about his infatuation with girls, as he’s the only one brave enough to still walk the village. Actor Ruta, is an original mem-ber of San Francisco’s American Conserva-tory Theatre with 60 productions as actor/director. He’s also performed with Minne-apolis’ Guthrie Theater and Cincinnati’s Playhouse in the Park. Currently, he’s an as-sociate artist at San Diego’s Old Globe The-atre. Every word and action of his hero is wonderful.

Philippe is prone to sudden fits where he slumps forward, unconscious for a spell, before he wakes up spouting commands to his army captain. The acclaimed actor Mc-Murtry, as Philippe, is a graduate of Eng-land’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, also an associate artist at The Old Globe, and has 50 years and 200 productions of credits there, having performed in all of Shakespeare’s 37 plays. In 2008, he received The Globe’s Craig Noel Lifetime Achieve-ment Award. Every ounce of his perfor-mance is believable, amusing, and an addi-tional perk for the audience.

Henri is the hero who puts reality into Gustave’s plan for the ailing men to hike their way out of the home and through the poplar trees they love. Walk-ing with a cane, he’s still willing to give it a try; even devising a way the trio can cross a river without drowning. Rein-hardt, a Broadway veteran and also a founding company member of the Amer-ican Conservatory Theater in San Fran-cisco, plays Henri as the perfect balance between his two friends, eager to try anything and unwilling to roll over and die.

Martin Katz: From a Faraway LandClose your eyes and

dream a little…..Namibia, Africa. In the

evening, the sky glows a fi-ery orange over the sun-baked earth. Far away from civilization along the Ku-nene River where tempera-tures soar to 125 degrees, in this remote spot embedded in mica, a stone the color of the sun was discovered in 1991. The Spessartine Gar-net or more commonly called Mandarin Garnet, un-til then the mandarin garnet could be found in Sri Lanka, Australia, Kenya and Tanza-nia. However, garnet from these regions were typically

smaller. These rich red-dish-or-ange stones, are more beautiful and radiant then any that had been found before, and hardly any inclusions inter-fered with the brilliance of these noble garnets.

Orange symbolizes joie de vivre and individuality.

CATHARINE KAUFMANContributor

I’m shellacking my nails black and stirring my caldron bubbling over with Beluga and blinis and pumpkin mar-tinis for a grown-up Hallow-een hoopla.

All Hallow’s Eve, an an-cient Catholic custom honor-ing saints, has morphed into a $3 billion-a-year trick-or-treating candy orgy. But big kids can have fun, too.

• Celebrity chef Brian Malarkey will be shakin’ things up at his downtown Searsucker with some bone chilling cocktails like the Fe-mur Shot — an actual steer femur bone, cleaned, boiled and stuffed with a concoction

of coconut, lime and vodka. • For a sweet and season-

al refresher, The Grant Grill on Broadway will offer its fa-mous Smashing Pumpkin that appeared on The Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate.” This glorious gourd cocktail blends pump-kin, star anise, rum, Grand Marnier, St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram, aromatic saffron syrup, cardamom bitters and a squirt of fresh Meyer lemon.

• For howling werewolfs, Donovan’s Prime Seafood will be pouring The Full Moon, a lunar libation of Double Cross Vodka, Valrhona white chocolate, vanilla infused pis-co, and Sal de Camargue.

• And for pure insanity, chug down the Mental Ward 10 of high west “bourye” bourbon, pomegranate, mo-lasses, lime and sugar at Hotel Palomar’s new Saltbox Dining and Drinking.

• Visit the Rancho Ber-nardo Inn for a Ghoulish Grog of Bacardi light, gold and dark rums, Grand Marni-er and grapefruit, orange and pineapple juices served in a Mason jar with a glow stick garnish.

Playing armchair mixol-

ogist, may I make some eerie recommendations so you can shake, rattle and roll in your own home? This Black Cat is one you definitely want to cross paths with on Hallow-een – an icy Blavod Black Vodka blended with a rasp-berry-flavored Chambord gar-nished with fresh raspberries. Or a Bloody Brew, a twist on

the classic Bloody Mary which adds a splash of beer to the mix to make it sizzle and foam at the mug.

To shock the senses, (and your guests) try a Brain Hem-orrhage that truly resembles gray matter in a glass. This cocktail layers Peach Schnapps and Irish Cream with a finishing drizzle of

Grenadine over the top, giv-ing the libation its signature color. And for that sweet caf-feine jolt, do a Cookie Mon-ster Cocktail that makes a liq-uid cookie sandwiching Irish Cream between Kahlua and Peppermint Schnapps.

Whip up some fun Hal-loween eats to accompany these drinks. Kick off the fes-

tivities with an Eyeball Anti-pasto making a platter of your favs including artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and giant green olives stuffed with pimentos, cut in half and strategically placed with toothpicks on small, fresh mozzarella balls to resemble orbs.

Decorate Pirate Pizzas with plenty of red sauce, or-ange peppers and black ol-ives, serve sushi with splashes of orange roe and smoked salmon, and other finger foods such as crispy spring rolls, turkey meat-balls, or chicken and veggie skewers with a sweet, sour and sassy dipping sauce that mocks clotted blood made of grape jelly, ketch-up, French dressing and dash of Tabasco.

Finally, a Graveyard Mud Pie with a chocolate mousse base, crumbled chocolate cookies for the cemetery soil and dollops of whipped cream for ghostly images. Stick Lady Fingers into the mix to simulate headstones.

problems as if one size fits all. My understanding of personality has taught me that people understand the world differently based on their personality. I would like to leverage this under-standing to work with larger groups of people, whether it is with politics or different religious groups, to promote better cooperation and un-derstanding.

4. Who or what in-spires you?

I had two mentors who inspired me, one was a bril-liant psychiatrist and very kind, and the other was a brilliant UCSD psychologist who understood people, was

kind and meticulously hon-est. They both, in different ways, inspired me to want to live a compassionate and disciplined life.

5. If you hosted a din-ner party for 8, whom (liv-ing or deceased) would you invite?

My wife and daughter Rachel (because she’d be so mad at not being included), Jesus Christ, Sigmund Freud, Steve Jobs, Abraham Lin-coln, and Richard Branson. Ideas about human exis-tence and individuals with a vision interest me most.

6. Tell us about what you are currently reading.

I regularly read the Economist, the New Yorker and the Atlantic. I’m also reading “Predictably Irratio-nal,” a great book on human

psychology.7. What are your favor-

ite films? I don’t really have fa-

vorite films. In a way I see my patients’ life stories like movies, and in that sense I see many movies a week, be-cause they are all human stories.

8. What do you do for fun and what is your favor-ite vacation destination?

I surf, play volleyball, walk, bike, ski and enjoy dinner parties. I love the tropics, especially Maui.

9. Please describe your greatest accomplishment.

It sounds trite, but while I’m proud of the books I’ve written and de-veloping an expertise in per-sonality, I’m proud of my marriage and our daughter

because I was afraid, given my childhood, that I wouldn’t be able to do a good job!

10. What is your motto or philosophy of life?

See things from others’ perspective, be kind and spread a little love and beau-ty. Things will work out.

tled “Transision,” illustrates the transition from past life to post-mortem, and shows a woman (painted by Tiffany), who is half skeleton (painted by Swenke).

“It gives you so much fulfillment as a parent to create something with your child,” Swenke said.

The exhibition also features an altar created by Maya Ramirez, from Aguascaliente, Mexico, which shares relics from her family in Mexico. Three-dimensional art by Ce-sar Castaneda is also on display —including two tree stumps that have been trans-formed into ornate and organic feathered animal heads, one of which is suspended high above the ground. Also on view (and on sale from almost $900) is a boxed spring bed that was used as the palette for a large, detailed Dia de los Muertos-themed paint-ing.

Leaping Lotus is located at 240 S. Cedros Ave. For more information call (858) 720-8283.
