According to the Sola-na Beach Municipal Code, the Coastal Rail Trail doesn’t allow dogs, howev-er, there are waste bag dis-pensers all along the High-way 101 path and people frequently walk dogs there.

That’s just one scenario that prompted the Solana Beach City Council on Jan. 25 to introduce an ordi-nance amending the law to allow leashed dogs at city parks, including popular dog-walking designations such as La Colonia Park and Fletcher Cove.

According to city staff, in a periodical review of city signage, current restric-tions were found to be out-dated. The revision would include updating signage at parks and making it illegal to walk dogs off-leash. The changes do not apply to city beaches, where dogs are not allowed.

“The reality is that peo-ple are walking their dogs all the time,” said City Manager David Ott. “It’s a common practice for years and we haven’t taken a stance on it.”

He added that it is im-portant that dogs on leash-es are controlled.

District will consider contracts related to placing a general obligation bond on an upcoming ballot, at the district’s Feb. 2 board meeting.

Three items will be presented to SDUHSD trustees Thursday night. All rec-ommended contracts were selected from published Requests for Proposals.

The first item is to award a contract to the Dolinka Group of Irvine for financial advisory services. Dolinka was selected out of seven candidates.

The board report states that the dis-trict is recommending that the board ap-prove Dolinka “to provide financial adviso-ry services related to placing the GO bond measure on the June 5, 2012 or November 6, 2012 ballot.” This is Phase 1.

If the GO bond is approved by voters, Dolinka will then provide “financial advi-sory services regarding the issuance of the bonds” from “the period January 20, 2012 until completion of bond authorizations.” This is Phase 2.

The fee would be $20,000 for Phase 1 and $65,000 for Phase 2. Funding for this is listed as “campaign donations and future bond issues.”

The second item under consideration on Feb. 2 is the award of a contract with

The Solana Beach City Coun-cil on Jan. 25 made its annual ap-pointments to the handful of citi-zen commissions that advise the council on topics from art to pub-lic safety.

The community showed a significant amount of interest in open positions through their ap-plications, however, incumbent commission members led in ap-pointments.

Craig Nelson and Jeff Aner-man were voted in to fill two va-cancies in the Budget and Finance Commission. Both were reapply-ing for those seats.

Six candidates applied to fill three spots on the Parks and Rec-reation Commission.

Councilwoman Lesa Heebner nominated Lynne Truong, adding that the applicant “has worked so hard already on this commission

Since the installation of red light cameras in 2004, collisions and viola-tions in Solana Beach have dimin-ished, according to a presentation to the City Council by local law enforce-ment authorities on Jan. 25.

At the request of City Manager David Ott, local law enforcement be-

gan a study on red light camera re-sults about six months ago. Sheriff Deputy Greg McDonald compared data from 2004-2006 — the period following the installation of the cam-eras — to data from 2009-2011, and the analysis revealed a 60 percent de-crease in traffic light violations. In the 24 months reviewed in the 2011 re-port, there were 358 collisions in Sola-

na Beach — a 15 percent reduction from the 2006 report. There was also a 40 percent decrease in collision calls to authorities since the implementa-tion of the camera program, accord-ing to McDonald.

“These cameras are working,” said Capt. Sherri Saro. “They are re-

The Solana Vista student council reads a letter of thanks.

As of Jan. 27, students at Solana Vista school will enjoy their physical educa-tion and recess time a little more, with the addition of a new, resurfaced black-top offering a number of games and ac-tivities.

Previously, the space was unpainted and the surface was worn, so parents Helga Fazio and Sarah Hansen-Reeves wrote a grant to the Quest Foundation, which in turn donated more than $45,000 to complete the project, dubbed “Peaceful Playground.”

At the event, the school’s student council read a letter of thanks to the foundation and school faculty members, and students presented large and elabo-rate handmade “thank you” cards.

The San Diego Energy District Foun-dation, a nonprofit clean energy choice organization, hosted a Wine and Energy Soiree fundraiser Jan. 26 at Carruth Cel-lars Winery to support clean energy. The San Diego Energy District supports the ability of San Diegans to get their energy from sources other than SDG&E, lower rates, increased energy security, and greater economic development from lo-cal green energy projects.

Local founders and Solana Beach residents Lane Sharman and Bill Powers offered their visions for San Diego’s clean energy future. U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce sponsored the event.

De La Rosa & Company. De La Rosa was chosen from four respondents for bond underwriting services “to assist with drafting tax rate statements for election ma-terial, coordinating with fi-nancial advisor[s] on bond sizing and pricing, prepar-ing all documentation for bond issuance, guiding the district through the rating process, and marketing the bonds for successful sale.”

The district recom-mends, according to the board packet, that trustees approve the contract with De La Rosa, funded by “fu-ture bond issues.”

Both of these items are being presented for action and a vote by trustees.

The third item, submit-ted for information only and not for action until the next board meeting on Feb. 16, is for the selection of “public information and ballot measure preparation consultant services.”

According to the board report, “staff issued a re-quest for proposals for cam-paign (information) con-

sulting services on Decem-ber 13, 2011 in anticipation of placing a Proposition 39 General Obligation bond measure on a future ballot for future financing of relat-ed facilities.”

Staff received five re-sponses and narrowed down the search to Oak-land-based Tramutola LLC.

According to Tramuto-la’s Web site, “We have trained a generation of peo-ple how to conduct these elections and how to win. We won the first parcel tax measures and the largest bond measures. We’ve guid-ed large and small districts. Over the years we pioneered mail ballot elections, so-phisticated polling tech-niques and developed ballot language that has become standard for the industry.”

SDUHSD selected Tra-mutola “as the proposed campaign consultant,” states the board report. The work as proposed would be conducted in three phases.

Phase 1, costing the district $44,500, explores providing “preliminary rec-ommendations regarding the feasibility of placing a local school bond measure on the ballot in 2012.”

Phase 2, called Public Information and Ballot Measure Preparation, would cost the district $6,000 per month “if the district opts to place the measure on the November 6, 2012 ballot or $10,000 per month if June 5, 2012 is chosen.”

Phase 3 is Post Election Communications, which would cost the district $12,000 to assist the district in providing “post-election updates on bond-related school projects.”

Tramutola services would be paid for “by fu-ture campaign donations.” General fund dollars, the district said, will not be used.

The board report states that “California law prohib-its the use of district funds, services, supplies or equip-ment for the purpose of urging the passage or defeat of any school measure of the district, including school bond measures.”

But SDUHSD trustee John Salazar questioned whether the Tramutola con-tract, if approved, would in-appropriately serve to influ-ence the public to support the expenditure of taxpayer money.

Eric Dill, associate su-perintendent of business services for SDUHSD, said a committee would be formed to handle the as-pects of running the cam-paign, should the board adopt a resolution to place a GO bond on the ballot.

“It would be led and staffed by volunteers, and all funds used in support of the measure would come from private donations,” Dill said in an email. “No public funds or resources would be used to urge pas-sage of the bond or for any other political activity.”

The purpose of the GO bond would be to fund what the district says are much-needed facilities ren-ovations and improvements at SDUHSD’s schools. A plan developed by a Long Range Facilities Task Force recommended upgrades to-taling about $400 million, to improve technology and modernize aging campuses. A GO bond would need 55 percent of voter approval.

The Feb. 2 SDUHSD board meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at district head-quarters at 710 Encinitas Blvd. in Encinitas.

… I’m so glad she is be-coming official.”

Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts agreed with Heeb-ner’s nomination of Tru-ong, proposing a slate in-cluding Joy L. Brinker and Susan Joan McEachern, a local teacher. The council voted unanimously to ap-point those three commu-nity members to the Parks and Recreation Commis-sion.

“[McEachern] is a school teacher, a very pas-sionate person who’s pas-sionate about the commu-nity,” said Roberts. “She’d be a great addition to the already great commission.”

Albeit non-elected po-sitions, these advisory committee seats carry sig-nificant responsibility and those appointed are con-sidered public officials of a legislative body, according to commission guidelines.

“They really are the base of the community through a number of events,” said Heebner, spe-cifically about the Parks and Recreation Commit-tee. “It takes a lot of group effort and a lot of work.”

The council voted to appoint four people to the Public Arts Advisory Com-

mission: Tara Gordon, Mike Swanson, Nicole Sel-by-Thomas and Allie Dix-on. All were reapplying for those seats.

“This is probably the most exciting time for public art in the city,” said Dixon, who has served on the commission for six years. She added that she is proud of installing tem-porary art and entrance monuments at different parts of the city, and she looks forward to exploring how public art can fit in with Highway 101 revital-ization.

Kristi Day reapplied for a position on the Pub-lic Safety Commission, however, she was not able to attend the meeting and Mayor Joe Kellejian spoke on her behalf.

“She is very excited about this committee,” he said in his nomination, which was unanimously approved.

A new applicant, Da-vid Reis, was also appoint-ed to the Public Safety Commission.

He told the council that he represents those who are residents but not homeowners.

Paul Bishop, David Zito, Patricia Coad and John Scales were all reap-pointed to the View As-sessment Committee.

raised the question of whether dogs on leashes would also be allowed at large community events, such as the holiday tree lighting, Fiesta del Sol at Fletcher Cove or the an-nual Easter egg hunt at La Colonia Park.

Ott said that for spe-cial events at which dogs

must be off-leash, such as dog-oriented events, the ordinance can be suspend-ed and permits can be is-sued to allow off-leash ac-tivity. Otherwise, dogs will be allowed on leashes in all scenarios. In the case that people don’t want dogs at a certain event, the city could write a per-mit to ban dogs for that event, however, Ott said the organizers would have to justify that restriction.

ducing collisions. Not to say they aren’t increasing tickets, because we still have violations that are oc-curring out there, but they are reducing collisions and that would contribute to saving lives and keeping in-juries down.”

Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts and Councilman Tom Campbell, who serve on the city’s fiscal sustain-ability committee, met with the Sheriff’s Department re-cently to better understand the camera program, its methodologies and how the city gets paid.

“There’s no question in my mind that it’s a worth-while program,” Campbell said.

Roberts said there has been some confusion about the billings as they are re-ceived from the court in re-gard to the program.

“The court text (or bill-ing) we get is all over the board and it makes abso-lutely no sense,” Roberts

said. “They can’t document why they sent us $13,000 one month, why they charged us a one-time fee one month … There’s no rhyme or reason to it and we are just trying to find out better from a fiscal sus-tainability standpoint what is behind this.”

Ott said he is working with staff to get some better answers.

He also reminded the community and council that the private contractors who provide the cameras don’t issue the tickets; the Sheriff’s authorities issue the tickets. He reiterated that every violation is docu-mented on video, with both the driver and vehicle clear-ly identifiable. Saro also said authorities can clearly see if a driver is holding a cell phone to his or her ear.

“Cell phones are one of the biggest contributors to accidents,” she said, adding that there will be extra add-ed cell phone enforcement in upcoming months. Any cell phone use that is not entirely hands-free is sub-ject to enforcement.

Senior Secured Loans

BY PAT SHERMAN On Jan. 19, world re-

nowned oceanographer Walter Munk shared stories from a career as vast as the oceans he has spent 70 years studying at Scripps Institution of Oceanogra-phy.

Munk addressed a full house during the Distin-guished Speaker Series at the La Jolla Community Center for Active Adults, formerly known as The Ri-ford Center.

Beginning his presen-tation, Munk shared some of the changes he has wit-nessed in this area since ar-riving in 1939 to accept a summer job at Scripps, fresh from earning his bachelor’s degree in phys-ics at the California Insti-tute of Technology.

“Scripps had 15 em-ployees, including the gar-dener,” said Munk, 94. “It now has 1,500.”

Giving partial credit to the U.S. Navy for his lengthy career, Munk con-fided that it was not a love of oceanography that brought him to this area.

“That wouldn’t be the truth,” he said. “I was dat-ing a girl at Scripps College and she was spending the summer in La Jolla. Well, that romance did not last, but I fell in love with

Scripps and I have been in love with Scripps ever since.”

The director of Scripps at the time, oceanographer Harald Ulrik Sverdrup, took Munk on as a doctoral stu-dent. Munk recalled his mentor discussing his be-lief that scientists had missed “a major problem” related to “the melting pro-cesses at the bottom of floating ice sheets.”

Munk applied for U.S. citizenship following the occupation and annexation of the German Republic of Austria into Nazi Germany, enlisting in the U.S. Army as a private in 1939. He was later excused from service to help with defense-related research at Scripps, such as the development of meth-ods used to predict surf

conditions for Allied land-ings in North Africa and the D-Day invasion of Norman-dy on June 6, 1944.

Munk and other re-searchers determined that there were only a few days a month when weather conditions would be favor-able for a landing at Nor-mandy. Though wave con-ditions turned out to be very poor, after postponing the attack for 24 hours General Dwight Eisenhow-er proceeded, believing the Allied Forces would lose the element of surprise if they waited two weeks for the next tidal cycle.

“General Eisenhower had the courage to make a decision, and I think it was the right one,” Munk said.

Between 1946 and 1958, Munk and his team

helped analyze water con-ditions during the nuclear weapons testing at Bikini Atoll, located in the Mar-shall Islands of the South Pacific. The tests included a 180-foot deep lagoon ex-plosion. Munk said he and his crew used the remnants of two cases of beer to test the rise in water levels caused by the blast — nail-ing beer cans to palm trees at various heights.

On March 1, 1954, Monk witnessed the explo-sion of a 17-megaton hy-drogen bomb detonated by the U.S. at Bikini Atoll. The covert blast, known as Castle Bravo, resulted in the most severe radiologi-cal contamination ever caused by the U.S. Fallout contaminated nearby is-landers and the crew of a Japanese fishing boat.

“It was a frightening sight that I have not for-gotten after all these years,” Munk said, quip-ping: “I was there when we were rained upon, but I haven’t been affected, been affected, been affected.”

Munk closed his pre-sentation by weighing in on the topic of global warming and its effect on sea level, the fear his men-tor at Scripps had confided in him when he first ar-rived in 1939.

Accomplished oceanographer shares unique experience, insights

Scripps oceanographer Walter Munk speaks at the La Jolla Community Center for Active Adults.

“Between 1950 and 1990, sea level rose at the rate of 1.5 millimeters per year, of which about one-third was due to thermal expansion of the warming ocean and the other two-thirds were not understood,” he said. “I wrote a paper calling it an enigma. …

“Now, the sea level is rising at 3-½ millimeters per year and we know that most of the water comes from the melting of the Earth’s glaciers,” he said.

“The sea level rise is really scary. … If it goes up a me-ter (within the next 100 years), which I think it will, 150 million people around the world (will be displaced). The U.S. Navy and other government organizations have ac-cepted that as a security issue.”

Editor’s note: Author Paula Mc-Clain was the featured speaker at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society’s Jan. 25 luncheon at The Grand Del Mar. The luncheon series is spon-sored by Northern Trust, the RSF Community Center and this newspa-per. BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN

For Hadley Richardson, meet-ing the young, ambitious wanna-be writer Ernest Hemingway while on a brief trip to Chicago and mar-rying him after a courtship of less than a year was a life-changer that transported her out of a lackluster Victorian existence as a 28-year-old “spinster” in St. Louis, Missouri, to a very different life in the Bohemi-an Paris of the 1920s.

For struggling contemporary poet, novelist and former teacher Paula McClain, writing an histori-cal novel, a completely new genre for her, based on Hadley Richard-son and Ernest Hemingway, and their love affair and marriage dur-ing the height of the Jazz Age, has also been a life-changer, or as she calls it, “a game-changer.”

McClain was the featured speaker at the Rancho Santa Fe Lit-erary Society luncheon on Jan. 25 at The Grand Del Mar.

Her 2011 novel, “The Paris Wife,” is her fifth book and her

first commercially successful book — but what a success!

McClain had authored two previous books of poetry (Stumble and Gorgeous), for which she re-ceived copies of her own books as payment; a memoir of her life growing up as foster child (“Like Family”) that attracted a scant readership; and a promising 2008 debut novel, (“A Ticket to Ride”) that sold only 7,000 copies.

By comparison, “The Paris Wife,” now in its 26th printing, made The New York Times’ best-seller list for almost seven months, is being translated into 33 languag-es, has been optioned for a movie, and has sold close to 700,000 cop-ies.

McClain’s novel is a portrayal of love, torn loyalty and betrayal, made even more touching because Hemingway once wrote he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but Hadley.

We interviewed the author in the library of The Grand Del Mar before she addressed the filled-to-capacity luncheon gathering.

McClain was born in Fresno, Calif., in 1965. After being aban-doned by her parents when she was 4, she and her two sisters be-came wards of the California Court System, moving in and out of fos-ter homes in Fresno County for

the next 14 years. Fortunately, she and her sis-

ters were not separated, as many foster children often are, she said.

“I often think it was a pretty good education for me as a writer, being so uprooted all the time and never really knowing where we were going to go and how long we would be in any placement,” she

ventured. “It made me the kind of kid

who when I went to a new school, I would go to the library, make friends with the librarian and ask her what I should read. I would eat my lunch in the library. I think I was afraid to make friends. I just became a voracious reader that liked to fall into other people’s lives, other worlds and happy end-ings.

“And I think I’m the same kind of writer. I read for escape and to be swept away. And I think I write for the same reasons.”

McClain studied at Fresno City College when the tuition was $50 a semester for three years be-fore transferring to Central Michi-gan University and working at a nursing home to pay for her tu-ition and earn an undergraduate degree and a master’s in English and history, followed by an M.F.A. in creative writing and poetry from the University of Michigan.

Afterwards, while struggling to make it as a writer, she taught poetry, literature and creative writ-ing for 17 years in New England and Ohio at various colleges and at a private high school.

Asked why she chose to write a novel rather than a biography about Hadley Richardson, she said, “It would never occur to me to

write a biography. I’m not a schol-ar in that way and I’m not interest-ed in writing nonfiction, except for narrative nonfiction memoirs.

“What happened was, I was completely lost and looking for in-spiration for a second novel be-cause things had not gone well for me as a writer, when I read Ernest Hemingway’s “A Moveable Feast” — about his time in Paris; and in it he writes about his first marriage with incredible tenderness and poignancy, and the story really captivated me.

“So I started on this journey to learn more about this woman, Hadley Richardson, and more about their marriage. The more I learned about her, the more I liked her and the more I understood that this was a big idea.”

“I think the reason readers re-ally like historical fiction is it gives them an open door into getting a history lesson,” McClain said, “and while maybe they wouldn’t read a biography about Paris in the 1920s, they might read a novel about it, while getting the ‘real deal’ too.

“I use the facts on record to represent that world as accurately as I can, given the fact that I’m

It’s been an incredible year for this squad of 19 TPPW Jr. Midget Intermediate cheer-leaders. They just ended their perfect season by capturing an-other “National Champion” ti-tle at the JAMZ National Championship in Las Vegas on Jan. 29. This amazing team has danced, tumbled, stunted and jumped their way to first place in all of their five competitions which included two “National Championship” titles. No oth-er team in the history of TPPW has accomplished this magnifi-cent feat.

Having a “Perfect Season” doesn’t come easy. This group of 11 - 14 year olds from Carm-el Valley and Rancho Santa Fe started on this rewarding jour-ney back in August 2011. They practiced four days a week in August and then three days a week once school started, with many of them taking private gymnastics, as well. It is be-cause of their hard work, dedi-cation to practice and to each other and their outstanding coaching staff that this team was able to achieve such great-ness.

“It really was a team effort with not only our coaching staff, but all of our parents and volunteers that supported our team throughout the season. It is such an amazing feeling to have accomplished a perfect season and won these National Championship titles. These girls are a group of dynamic and hardworking athletes who really wanted to win and gave it their all at every practice and competition. I couldn’t be hap-pier for our team,” said Head Coach Alicia Smith.

Their first win was at the Palomar Conference Pop War-ner competition in October at SDSU. They next advanced and won the Wescon Region-als in Long Beach in Novem-ber, which took them to the

A perfect season: The undefeated Torrey Pines Jr. Midget Falcons win another National Championship

Pop Warner “Super Bowl of Cheer” in Orlando in December, where they brought home the first National Championship title in history for Torrey Pines Pop Warner and only the second time a team from the Wescon region has won.

Following their National Championship win, they went on to compete at the JAMZ Cheer and Dance Regional competition in Long Beach on Jan. 15 and not only won first place, but cap-tured the “Grand Championship” title by having the highest overall score of all the teams at the competition. This leads up to their final victory at the JAMZ Nationals held on Jan. 29 at the Or-leans Arena in Las Vegas. The team competed against 14 other teams from across the nation to win their second “National Champion” title of the season. They performed flawlessly with the highest score and no deductions from the judges. They were awarded not only a huge trophy, jackets, and medals , but they were ultimately rewarded by having a “Perfect Season.”

Registration for the 2012 Football & Cheer season is now open. Don’t miss your chance to join TPPW, home of the 2011-12 National Champion Jr. Midget Falcon Cheer Squad. For infor-mation about the 2012 registration, please go to www.torreypine-spw.com.

The San Diego Mustangs Rugby Club U14 Boys had two entrants in the Rugby 7’s Tournament held Saturday, Jan. 21, at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. The soggy weather did not deter the Mustangs, who are based in Carmel Valley, but draw players from throughout the County. Both teams made it out of pool play. The Juniors were defeated in the quarterfinals, while the Seniors led 17-7 late in the semi-fi-nal match before losing to San Clemente.

A colorful video depicting an inspiring new “in-home” program for seniors is now available to families and organizations through Del Mar Community Connections.

Using “real life” scenes with seniors and their volunteer matches, the video shows the many activities available to members enrolled in the In-Home Connections (IHC) program directed by Jeannie Walsh, member services coordinator.

Modeled after successful programs such as Boston’s Beacon Hill Village, Del Mar’s In-Home Connections is designed to give senior residents the resources they need to continue living independently, in their own homes, as long as possible. These resources, as shown in the video, range from rides to medical appointments and grocery shopping, to gardening and trash day assistance.

Featured in the video, produced by Del Mar TV, are June Strasberg and Chuck Berke, IHC members; Kelly Welch and Diana Fenner, volunteers, and Walsh, DMCC staff. The TV staff included Luana Karr, producer, and Meghan Anderson, editor, assisted by Karol Moreno and Shane Karr. Marketing committee members assisting Walsh were Nancy Fisher, Fenner, and Pat JaCoby.

Local organizations may request a showing of the video by contacting Walsh at [email protected]. Families may link to the video at http://vimeo.com/34806684. It also will be available at the DMCC web site.

BY JOE TASHA group of successful, prominent

Iranian-Americans took to the stage of UCSD’s Mandeville Auditorium Jan. 29 in an event designed to motivate youth and showcase the accomplishments of the Iranian-American immigrant com-munity.

“Every good thing you do makes all of us look good, there’s nothing too small,” said Firoozah Dumas, a humor-ist and author of “Funny in Farsi,” urg-ing the young people in the audience to be involved in community service.

“You have to invest in excellence. You have to work hard,” said Vali Nasr, a professor of international politics at Tufts University, author and former se-nior advisor to the Obama Administra-tion on issues related to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The event, called “Passing the Torch of Success,” was organized by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Ameri-cans,” or PAAIA, and has been held in cities around the country in recent years. Sunday’s sold-out event, which drew an audience of about 800 people, marked its debut in San Diego.

Local resident Jamile Palizban, an event organizer, said one goal of the fo-rum was “to empower our young Irani-an kids and to teach them a little about our community.”

Maryam Famourzadeh, another lo-cal resident, and co-chair of PAAIA’s San Diego chapter, said she has two teen-age daughters. “I want to make sure they grow up proud Iranian-Americans.”

Another goal of the event — and of PAAIA — is to show the general public in the United States what the Iranian-

American commu-nity is about, said Palizban.

“We are not all terrorists. It breaks our heart, the ac-tions of the Iranian government. We don’t like it, we don’t support it. That’s why we came here,” she said.

More than 90 percent of the Ira-nians in the United States came after the Iran’s Islamic revolution of 1979, and their children have been born and raised here, she said.

Local resident Ali Mojdehi, a member of PAAIA’s national board of directors, said the event was designed to do three things: “educate, inspire and empower.”

That sentiment was echoed by Aref Tehranian of La Jolla, president of the Iranian Student Association at UCSD.

The speakers, said Tehranian, would share “the inspirational and mo-tivational ideas that brought them here, and pass them on to the younger gener-ation.”

Actor and comedian Maz Jobrani, a founding member of the “Axis of Evil Comedy Tour,” and Fox 5 Morning News anchor Shally Zomorodi served as

hosts and interviewers for event. The featured guests included a business ex-ecutive, authors, musicians, a philan-thropist, and a local physician, Shah-ram Daneshmand, who started a pro-gram called “Miracle Babies” to assist families with infants in the neonatal in-tensive care unit.

San Diego State University student Ehsan Lari said he wanted to attend be-cause he had read about previous Pass-ing the Torch events, and friends had attended a similar event at UC Berkeley. However, because Sunday’s event was a sellout, he was not sure if he would be

able to get a ticket.“I want to get inspired by their experiences,” he said of

the speakers. “I just want to get the feel of what this is all about.”

Among the challenges facing Iranian-Americans is the tension between the United States and Iran, the speakers ac-knowledged Sunday. With the United States imposing eco-nomic sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, and some political leaders even talking about possible military action to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, Iranian-Americans feel the pressure in their daily lives.

“It’s a very trying time for the Iranian community,” said Nasr, the Tufts professor and author of the New York Times bestseller “Forces of Fortune.”

But in spite of those hurdles, he said, Iranian-Americans have much to offer their adopted country, from serving as cultural ambassadors, to careers in government service. “Ulti-mately if we’re going to be responsible citizens of America, we have to give back and participate in political life,” he said.

In a unique, non-competitive show about weight loss, “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” documents the amazing makeover of courageous, “super obese” people who, in an unprecedented 365 days, set out to safely lose half of their body weight, ultimately revealing an amazing metamorphosis. The term “super obese” is used to define those who exceed their estimated ideal weight by approxi-mately 225 percent and who are roughly 200 pounds or more overweight. The show’s producers are beginning a na-tionwide tour to nine cities across the country in search of participants for season 3 of the show. Candidates are asked to either attend an open call in San Diego on Feb. 11 or send in a home tape. Information about how to apply can be found on the official casting website at www.extrememake-overcasting.com. The Feb. 11 casting call will be held at: NTC Promenade — Command Center In Liberty Station, Point Loma, 2630 Historic Decatur Rd. San Diego, 92106, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Attendees at the event

On Jan. 27, contractors from Baker Iron Works delivered a special gift to St. Leo Mission — a brand new, 4,000-pound steel bell tower with a custom-de-signed cross — and on Jan. 29 the parish celebrated the monu-ment’s resurrection.

A member of St. Leo’s parish and owner of the steel fabrication busi-ness, Susie Bruun donated the ser-vices and nephew John Bruun steered the project.

The cross rang at St. Leo, 936 Genevieve St., Solana Beach, for decades before it was torn down due to termites in 2004.

Spring hair fashion is shaping up beautifully at the new Gila Rut Aveda Salon in Torrey Hills Center. On the runways and the red carpet, both couture and coiffure take on a ‘confident luxury’ this season – all created with chic, versatile shapes to suit individual style. The Gila Rut salon experts, recently in New York doing hair and make-up for Spring 2012 Fashion Week, make it all happen through the creative blending of cut, color and make-up.

Gila Rut salon guests love the fashion update consultation first – and then getting their

own custom look based on lifestyle and fashion personality. Moving into Spring, women will shape up their chic with a variety of hair lengths and layers that bring out their best features. Watch for shapes within the shape to accent eyes, lips and cheekbones…like bangs that bring out beautiful eyes or soft, feathered wisps that frame the face and add a fashion edge. Hair textures range from sleek and smooth to soft waves and curls. Hair is always shiny, healthy and luxurious to the touch.

Color shapes the cut and adds to the thicker feeling of the hair. The look of Spring hair color

varies from soft, fine Balayage highlights that blend and balance the cut to an ‘Ombre’ effect that shows a soft shadow play of deeper-to-lighter color dimensions. The season’s fresh smokey make-up hues balance against bright fabrics seen in slice-of-lime green, the new teals, lipstick reds, ‘wow’ yellows and orange crush.

For ongoing updates, follow us on Facebook – Gila Rut Salon. To book a consultation or an appointment at Gila Rut Aveda Salon – Torrey Hills Center, call: 858-481-8444. The salon is located at 4645 Carmel Mountain Rd., Suite 204, San Diego, CA 92130. www.gilarut.com

The world of dentistry has never been more exciting with the infusion of advanced dental technology. Going to the dentist keeps on getting better especially at Dr.Curtis Chan’s future and state-of-the-art dental office at Pointe Del Mar.

It seems like only a few years ago when you had to agonize at getting your yearly x-rays and had to wait quite a while for the dental films to get developed. I remember how the films never seemed to fit my mouth and sometimes pushed into my gums. Also I remember how long it would take for procedures to take, taking multiple

visits to get a tooth fixed. Times have changed and not only are things more comfortable, easier, but also quicker in dentistry from the use of the advances in dental technology.

Are you and your dental health getting involved with the advances in dental technol-ogy? Today, dentistry has integrated many of the advances in the computer and digital world and have opened up many avenues to help solve and create better solutions to oral health problems.

Digital x-rays have reduced the amount of radiation exposure to patients by as much as

80 percent, yet improved the diagnostic ability to fight dental disease. Replacing missing teeth utilizing digital CAT (Computerized Axial To-mography) , and designing teeth with CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing), have dramatically improved the accuracy in creating natural looking smiles.

Dr. Curtis Chan has been serving the Del Mar/ Camel Valley / San Diego area for the last 25 years and is currently building a new state of the art dental office facility at Pointe Del Mar (planned to open in Summer 2012).

The San Diego Chinese Center (SDCC), a 501(c)3 or-ganization that pro-vides cultural pro-grams and charitable services to the San Di-ego community, has announced Mimi Yao, a senior at Torrey Pines High School, as the winner of the first an-nual Year of the Dragon Scholarship, a $500 award designed to assist in post high school stud-ies.

Mimi was awarded the scholarship on Jan. 28 at the 30th annual Chinese New Year Food and Cultural Fair. Mimi’s essay was se-lected from 48 entries representing seniors

throughout San Diego County on the basis of her academic achievements, extra-curric-ular activities, and her essay in response to the following question: “How has your cul-tural background helped shape you into the person you are today and helped shape your future goals?”

In her essay, Mimi shared her experi-ences upon arriving in the U.S. from Beijing, China at four years of age, her interest in bi-ology and her aspirations to become a phy-sician, and her passions of volunteering at Palomar Medical Center and teaching music to children at Hua Xia Chinese School. She concluded that her “Chinese-American cul-ture serves as a link. . .to understand em-brace both cultures. I love using both sides of my brain, and I love both cultural sides of me.” Congratulations to Mimi Yao!

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT

San Diego’s John Baldessari has been called “arguably America’s most influential conceptual art-ist,” and at age 80 is still in demand all over the world.

In the past year or so, he’s had shows in Sydney, Milan, London, Berlin, New York and Los Ange-les, where he lives. Start-ing Feb. 5, his work will be featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla in “A Print Retro-spective from the Collec-tions of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.” On display will be more than 100 pieces selected from the array of lithographs, etch-ings, photogravures, aqua-tints and silkscreens Baldessari created between 1973 and 2010.

The exhibit, originally shown in San Francisco in 2009 and now traveling around the country, is the largest offering of Baldes-sari’s graphic work ever assembled. It is part of the massive holdings of Jor-dan Schnitzer, an Oregon businessman/philanthro-pist whose collections comprise more than 5,000 prints by Baldessari, Frank Stella, Jim Dine, James Rosenquist and other ma-jor contemporary artists. His donations to the Uni-versity of Oregon’s Art Museum have been so sig-nificant that the museum was renamed for him in 2005.

Baldessari is no stranger to MCASD. In fact, his first exhibition, in 1960, was at the “Art Center in La Jolla,” now known as MCASD-LJ. His last solo show there was in 1997, but a number of his works remain in the museum’s permanent col-lection.

Though he started out as a painter, best known for his provocative “word pieces,” he burned all his paintings in 1970. As part of his “Cremation Proj-

ect,” the ashes were placed in an urn, with each painting’s birth and death date listed on a commemorative plaque.

Since then, his proj-ects have included artist’s books, videos, films, bill-boards, public works, and of course, prints, often embellished with colorful cutouts and altered photo-graphs. His signature style in all media is witty and experimental, and he con-tinues to expand the field of printmaking in his own unique ways.

“Though John is pri-marily identified as a con-ceptual artist, he was one of the first to take photog-raphy as a serious medium in the 1970s, and his use of photography and text combine naturally in printmaking,” said MCASD Director Hugh Davies. “And printmak-

ing, like photography, is a very democratic medium, which he likes, because he can make multiple exam-ples, so more than one person can own a piece.”

Also on display will be a sampling of Baldessa-ri’s works from the muse-um’s collection, including two of his early word paintings.

But the main attrac-tion is the Print Retro-spective, which Davies called one of the most ex-citing traveling shows around today.

“Jordan Schnitzer is a very passionate and gener-ous collector who focuses on prints and really cares about the artists and cher-ishes their work,” he said. “Aside from, possibly, John himself, he’s THE collector of Baldessari prints, so we’re very proud to have the exhibit here.”

By Hana-lei Vierra, Ph.D. and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D.

My hus-band refuses to go to cou-ples therapy because he feels it is for the weak and can’t imagine how “airing out his dirty laundry” to someone he doesn’t know could be helpful. I’m frustrated because we are really stuck in a negative back and forth with each other, and unless we get some kind of objective feedback, I don’t think we’ll make it. How can I get my husband to see that our mar-riage is in serious trouble and that seeing a counselor does not have to be a shameful experience?

— Gillian

Dr. SheDear Gillian: It speaks to the deeply engrained psy-

chological patterns of humans, that in the 21st century, with expanded emotional in-telligence and psychological awareness, men continue to feel there is a stigma asso-ciated with asking for help in any form. The belief runs deeply in men that they should not show their feelings or talk about their needs because it is a sign of weakness. The societal message to men is that they will be respected only if they are strong, fearless and independent. These ideas strip men of their humanity and force them to put their hearts into the background of their lives. We are all striving for strength, but strength in anything is achieved through balance. Our blind spots--the things we ignore or don’t pay attention to--become our weaknesses.

In their fight to be independent and strong, many men do not attend to or learn to manage the whole spectrum of their hu-man emotions, including hurt, sadness, and vulnerability in addition to anger. Unfortu-nately, this inevitably catches up with them. It is a statistical fact that most men enter therapy during a time of crisis. Usually it is when they have hit bottom, are experienc-ing a difficult depression, aren’t sleeping, are drinking too much, and have probably passed the point of no return in saving their relationship. Women enter therapy at a more proactive stage because they have been historically wired to be more comfort-able identifying and sharing their emotions and have learned that talking through their confusion is a viable way to cope with and manage their emotional pain.

I don’t believe that therapy is the only way to learn about and manage emotions, however, I rarely see men engaging with many alternatives that address their emo-tional worlds. In my role as an executive coach, I do find that men feel more com-fortable addressing their relational dynam-ics in a professional or “coaching” context. In a business/corporate venue, men tend to proactively improve their business relation-ships by getting feedback from peers and di-rect reports, strategizing about developmen-tal goals, and brainstorming about how to change the culture they work in to be more effective. Their motivation is to be success-ful in business. Interestingly, these same principles apply to couples therapy--just di-rected toward the success of their personal relationship. Although the relationships they have with their spouses are more vul-nerable and the emotions are more intense,

the same principles still apply. So, if we can help men to understand

that therapy is a form of strategic planning in order to change the culture of their rela-tionship for the better, perhaps the lan-guage would feel more comfortable. I think many men feel intimidated to walk into a therapy session because they feel they are walking into unfamiliar territory. I hope you can get your husband in front of a qual-ified therapist who can help him under-stand that--while therapy may not be for the faint of heart--it is nonetheless a very courageous endeavor.

Dr. He

Hello Gillian,Professionally, I can tell you that pretty

much every guy I have had as a client over the last 24 years has expressed the same sen-timent your husband has. I mention this to hopefully normalize his reaction to your suggestion to enter couples counseling. Be-cause many people still make the unfortu-nate assumption that therapy is only for “crazy people”, he probably doesn’t want to be seen as being “crazy” as well as not being perceived as weak. This of course makes the point you are coming to us with in the first place, but as Dr. She mentions above, he has probably lived his whole life believing his emotional world has little to no value. To then suggest that he reveal anything embar-rassing--like being scared or hurt or sad--to a stranger must confuse and scare the heck out of him even further.

Personally, I can also tell you that I my-self understand why and how he is feeling the way he is right now about getting into therapy. Growing up with all the messages from family, community, and culture that defined my own masculinity, I can look back and remember how my masculine pride precluded me from being okay with any kind of emotional honesty that would destroy the mask of having-it-all-together that I wanted others to believe about me. However, three realizations helped me get out of my own way:

#1. I’m human--which means I am not perfect, I make mistakes, and I have blind spots when it comes to knowing why I do some of the things I do.

#2. My integrity as a man is based on me being courageous enough to be account-able for every choice that I make--mistakes, blind spots, and all.

#3. If I am treating others disrespectful-ly, it probably means that I’m not feeling a whole lot of respect for myself (see #1 and #2 above).

Bottom line, Gillian, is that it seems your choices are (and I think you should put it to him this way): either avoid couples counseling and let the relationship contin-ue to deteriorate until one of you says “Enough!” and leaves, or he takes the risk of asking for help to learn--for the first time in his life--how to improve his marriage! It would be so sad if your relationship ended without ever having worked on it. I hope he wakes up to the importance of learning how to grow both as a person and as a partner. Best of luck!

Men in therapyBY DANIEL CODEN, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH

It’s inevitable: If you live long enough, you will develop cataracts. The eye condi-tion affects nearly 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older, and by age 80, more than half of all Americans have them.

Think of your eye like a camera. When light lens hits your eye, it transmits the light rays to the retina, which sends a visual im-age to the optic nerve and on to the brain. Cataracts are caused by a build-up of protein in the lens, which clouds the lens and pre-vents light from passing clearly though it. As a result, vision is affected. As the eye gen-erates new lens cells, the older, damaged ones are pushed into the center of the lens, where over time they create a cataract.

There are few symptoms until the cata-ract becomes large enough to interfere with the light rays passing through the lens. At this point, you may experience symptoms such as cloudy, blurry or filmy vision, prob-lems with glare, double vision, or changes in color perception. If you wear glasses, you may have a change in your prescription. Ironically, if you are nearsighted and devel-op cataracts, you may find that you no lon-ger need your glasses.

In the early stages, such changes may be more annoying that anything else. How-ever, when vision becomes impaired enough to interfere with activities of daily living such as driving, working or reading, it may be time to get treatment.

For years, cataract surgery has been per-formed to replace the cloudy lens with an implant and restore normal vision. As with most surgeries, advancements in research and technology have improved the preci-sion and safety of this procedure, resulting in faster surgeries, easier and shorter recover-ies and improved outcomes.

One example is the type of implant used. For decades, the standard monofocal implant was the only option. Because the monofocal implant focused light only at a single distance—either near or far—patients would require glasses to obtain a full range

of vision. Recently, a new multifocal im-plant has been developed that provides both near and far vision and eliminates the need for glasses after surgery. Consequently, pa-tients who needed glasses before their cata-ract surgery may not need them afterward. Even reading glasses may be rendered un-necessary for these patients following sur-gery.

There have also been advancements in the correction of astigmatism, a condition in which the cornea is irregularly shaped. In a normal eye, the cornea is round; in someone with astigmatism, the cornea is more oval-shaped, which can cause vision problems. While traditional implants could not correct this condition, new toric implants not only correct astigmatism, but also eliminate the need for glasses in these patients. Toric im-plants, however, may not eliminate the need for reading glasses.

In addition to improvements in out-comes, cataract surgery has become far less invasive. The surgical incisions are much smaller than they used to be. In fact, the in-cisions made in most cataract surgeries to-day do not even require sutures; the tiny in-cisions heal on their own within a few days. In the near future, cataract surgery per-formed with lasers may eliminate the need for blades and incisions altogether. A new la-ser recently approved by the FDA will create a surgical opening in the eye through which the cloudy lens can be softened and re-moved. The surgeon then completes the procedure with the new implant.

Because surgery is less invasive, recov-ery time is much faster. Patients no longer need to wear thick, dark glasses to keep light out of their eyes, or lie still for days follow-ing surgery. In most cases, patients can now return to their usual activities immediately after the procedure.

SB Deputy Mayor elected to chair FACT Board of DirectorsFull Access and Coordinated Transportation (FACT) recently welcomed Solana Beach

Envy is hostility toward a superior, an attitude of re-sentment toward someone who is better off. Envy is not the wish for what one does not have. It is the darker wish that the superior should lose the advantage that stimulated the envy.

Another face of envy is schadenfreude, malicious joy experienced when the supe-rior loses or fails. A typical envious response is, “If I can’t have X, neither should you.”

Envy is condemned in the Ten Commandments, the Seven Deadly Sins, and every religious and ethical system of which we have knowledge.

Envy is an inescapably political emotion. Compet-ing political and economic systems provide alternative strategies for managing envy and reducing the damage it does.

The left seeks to reduce envy by reducing the in-equality that stimulates

envy. The right seeks to re-duce envy by ignoring or by justifying that inequality. The left likes to stir up a lit-tle envy, thus creating pres-sure for more equitable dis-tribution of wealth. The right encourages the have-nots to convert their envy into emulation — as though we all could be Donald Trump if we worked harder.

But in real life most in-dividuals aim most of their envy, not at those at the top, but rather at those who are nearby and whose ad-vantage is relatively small. We are more likely to envy a neighbor with a new car or a co-worker who got a modest raise than to envy the mega-wealthy and super-powerful.

When most envy is aimed at the very wealthy, people demand higher taxes on the very rich. When most envy is aimed at near-equals, the demand for more progressive taxation is weakened.

Consider some ways in which our envy of near-equals serves to divide us and to prevent progressive political action.

“If I don’t have a secure retirement, why should gov-ernment employees have a secure retirement?” Are pensions to be a thing of the past for more and more of the population?

Many young adults do not support Social Security because they have come to

believe that they will never collect Social Security bene-fits — potentially a self-ful-filling prophecy.

“Why should I support raising the minimum wage, if I don’t work in a mini-mum wage job?”

“Why should I care if unions are weakened, if I am not a union member?”

Envious resentment of the small gains of near-equals distracts us from the enormous, growing, cancer-ous inequality that charac-terizes American society to-day.

also inventing things. I didn’t make up any charac-ters, but of course I wasn’t there in those rooms so I didn’t know what those peo-ple said to one another. That’s invented.”

She began her research by reading biographies on both Hadley Richardson and Ernest Hemingway, Heming-way’s work from that time, and a treasure trove of their “love letters” that she dis-covered in The Ernest Hemingway Collection be-queathed to the John F. Ken-nedy Presidential Library in Boston.

Gratefully, she said, Hemingway was a “pack rat” who never threw anything away.

She was particularly im-pressed by the couple’s ex-change of letters during their courtship in 1921 — between Hadley, living in St. Louis, and the irrepressible Hemingway, 21, who had been wounded while serving with the Red Cross in Italy during World War I and who was chomping at the bit to return to Europe to further his career as a writer, but found himself stuck in Chicago writing advertising copy for Firestone Tires.

In preparing to write her novel about Hadley, Mc-Clain said, she felt it was es-sential that she capture Had-ley’s voice — a voice she dis-covered in Hadley’s love let-ters to Hemingway. “I could hear her voice and I could also mimic it.”

In Hadley’s letters, Mc-Clain said, “Her speech rhythms, her intelligence,

charm and sense of humor all come through with clari-ty and effervescence. I sim-ply fell in love with her, with them both.”

Hadley and Hemingway were married in Sept. 1921, and lived briefly in Chicago, living frugally on Hadley’s small inheritance, while Hemingway collected reject-ed slips.

After Hemingway was hired as a foreign correspon-dent for the Toronto Star, and Hadley came into a sec-ond inheritance, the couple set sail for Paris where they would they became the golden couple in a group of American and British expa-triates that came to be known as the “Lost Genera-tion” and included F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ger-trude Stein and Ezra Pound.

While their life in Paris, combined with travels to Spain and Austria, provided Hemingway with a rich source of material for his novels, it eventually took a toll on the couple’s mar-riage. When Hadley became pregnant, they moved brief-ly to Toronto where their son, Bumby, was born in 1923; and then returned to Paris, where, in 1926, Had-ley discovered that Heming-way was having an affair with her friend, Pauline Pfeiffer.

Hadley divorced Hemingway in 1927.

Even with the failure of their marriage, McClain is convinced that Hadley was better off for having known and loved Ernest. She bloomed as a person and discovered a strength and resilience that she didn’t know she possessed. Moth-

erhood also matured her into a woman with a core and purpose, McClain posits.

Hadley Richardson would become known as Hemingway’s “Paris wife” — the way Pauline Pfeiffer became known as his “Key West wife,” Martha Gelhorn as his “Spanish Civil War wife,” and Mary Welsh, his “fourth and final” wife.

In 1933, in London, Hadley married

Chicago Daily News Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Mowrer, whom she met in Paris after divorcing Hemingway. The couple moved to a suburb of Chicago. She died on Jan. 22, 1979, in Lakeland, Florida.

McClain is currently working on her second historical novel about Madame Cu-rie, the discoverer of radium.

The Surf boys U8 White team, led by Coach Dave Currie, won first place in the U9 di-vision in the Temecula Valley Shootout Soccer Tournament held the weekend of Jan. 21-22. In the Championship game the Surf boys faced a very motivated and aggressive Leg-ends FC. Surf had just beaten Legends FC 4-1 in bracket play, but in the Championship the Legends U9 team played a completely different game. Legends FC dominated the first half of the game, keeping the Surf defense under constant pressure. The Surf team strug-gled to establish their rhythm and passing game.

Late in the first half a series of events lead to Surf’s first goal. It started with a game-changing, strong defensive play by Jesus Bazan and a beautiful pass by Elijah Zelkind to Charlie Kosakoff who then placed it in the back of the net. Surf was leading at the half 1-0. Early in the second half, Legends kept up the pressure and powered through Surf to score. With the score now 1-1, a very persistent Ryan Flather blasted down the left side of the field, around the Legends defense, and scored the winning goal with a well-placed, powerful left foot strike. This gave Surf the 2-1 lead and Championship title.

Leading up to the Champion game, the Surf team (and their parents) braved the wind, rain and mud to dominate in bracket play the previous day beating the Orange County United Futbol Club 8-2 and The Temecula Valley Hawks 7-1. These games really show-cased the Surf boys’ speed and skills which they have been working on diligently in prac-tice. Congratulations Surf Boys U8!

Carmel Valley Girls excel at field hockey

Carmel Valley Middle Schools field hockey players (left to right): Gabi Jimenez, Shannon Yogerst, Farah Farjood and Danny Jackel.

The year is still young, but four Carmel Valley Mid-dle School girls already find themselves excelling at field hockey on several different levels.

Farah Farjood, Danny Jackel, Gabi Jimenez and Shannon Yogerst, all eight graders at CMVS, tried out and were chosen for the U.S. Field Hockey Futures pro-gram. Part of only a handful of San Diego County middle schoolers picked for the prestige program, the four will attend twice monthly training sessions at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. Their Futures coaches include London-bound U.S. Olympian Shan-non Taylor and top San Di-ego high school coaches.

The four girls also play for the CVMS Bobcats field hockey team, which is cur-rently undefeated and in first place in the Big 8 Con-ference. So far the team has defeated Earl Warren 2-0, Diegueno 3-1 and Oak Crest 1-0 with Jackel, Jimenez and Yogerst contributing goals, and Farjood anchoring the defense. The Bobcats are

coached by Canyon Crest Academy seniors Kiana Duncan and Hannah O’Rosky, and Torrey Pines senior Erica Cohen.

Farjood, Jimenez and Yogerst also play club field hockey for the Poway Mystix in the North County Indoor League. The league gives the Carmel Valley girls a chance to test their skills against high school competition and so far they’ve more than held their own, leading the team to a 3-1 record and wins over the Escondido HS varsity, Cathedral Catholic JV and Canyon Crest JV.

“Shannon, Gabi and Farah have helped to bring our young middle school group up to the next level,” says Mys-tix head coach Cindi Lou-Villa. “They bring team work, stickwork and an aggressive intensity that our young middle schoolers have not experienced. Not only are they talented young players but they are a pleasure to coach as they listen, understand and perform as well as many high school play-ers. These three players will have successful high school ca-reers and hopefully collegiate careers as well.”

Sweet Soccer Success! Manchester Soccer Club GU15 2011The Manchester SC GU15 team completed another successful season in 2011 Presidio

Soccer League action with at record of 11 Wins, 2 Ties, and 1 Loss with 37 goals scored and only 6 goals conceded; finishing 2nd in the AA-A South division. The GU15 goalies posted 9 shutouts during the season. This comes on the heels of a 2010 season where they won the AA-B South division with a record of 13 wins and 1 tie, where they scored 45 goals and con-ceded only 3 goals with 11 shutouts. The team not only plays great soccer but also plays a clean game with only 1 yellow card in the past three seasons. In addition to their league success, the team played in three tournaments this past summer; advancing to the finals in all three, winning two of them. Along with victories in the Manchester Cup and Pegasus Cup, the team was a finalist in the Notts Forest Memorial Day and Rockstar Cup tourna-ments in 2011.

In 2012, the team will be moving to the SCDL as it seeks tougher challenges in the soc-cer world. The planned tournament schedule for 2012 includes the State Cup Presidents di-vision, two college showcases, the Mustangs tournament in Danville, California as well as a return to one of San Diego’s premier tournaments, the Pegasus Cup.

These girls have worked hard for their success with commitment, dedication, and sacri-fice as the key ingredients.

Manchester BU13 Academy Team are Arsenal Winter Classic Champions

Manchester soccer’s BU13 Academy team (in photo above), coached by Billy Garton, had a successful weekend in Riverside, clinching the Arsenal winter classic with a 3-1 victo-ry over Arsenal in the championship game. The Manchester boys warmed up for the up-coming National State Cup with a fantastic effort to win the Arsenal Tournament. Playing some outstanding soccer along the way, Manchester cruised into the final and then proved too strong for a determined Arsenal team.

Coach Garton was delighted with his team saying, “The boys played with a maturity beyond their years and play a style of soccer that you can’t help enjoy. I am proud of their development, they are a super bunch of kids that love soccer and I love coaching them.” Manchester next attempt to win the Carlsbad Premier tournament, another preparation tournament for National State Cup.

Barbara Sawrey, the eldest of nine children, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up in Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. She received her bachelor’s degree from Baldwin-Wallace College, then worked as an industrial flavor and fra-grance chemist before returning to graduate school.

She earned her Ph.D. in chemistry jointly from UC San Diego and SDSU. She has been a faculty member at UCSD in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry since 1984, and currently serves the campus as Associate Vice Chancel-lor for Undergraduate Education.

Sawrey is a member of Board of Governors of The San Diego Foundation. Members of the American Chemical Society, the largest scientific organization in the world, recently elected her to the Board of Direc-tors.

Who or what inspires you?The commitment of the UCSD faculty and staff to

serving our students and higher education is very in-spiring. And my spirits never fail to be lifted by the beautiful views from around town, even when I am car-rying out the most mundane chore.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (liv-ing or deceased) would you invite?

All eight of my siblings live in Ohio. Though I visit twice each year, it is rare when we can all be together for dinner. So I would invite my five brothers and three sisters for a special event.

What is your most-marked characteristic?I would like to think I am known for my ability to

brainstorm issues, and solve problems in a collaborative way. But since people are not necessarily good judges of how they are perceived, I could be far off base. I have been told I am smilingly obstinate.

What is your most-prized possession?Most material items can be replaced, but I would

say my home is my most prized possession. The loca-tion and structure of my home suit me well, and I have a lovely Eastern mountain view to keep me calm. Of course, maybe I should highlight the ticket stub I have from Trevor Hoffman’s 500th save instead.

What do you do for fun?I enjoy our local theaters and opera immensely. We

are extremely fortunate to have many cultural choices in San Diego. One other special pastime of mine is driving and walking the older neighborhoods of San Di-ego. There is much interesting variety in the charm and in the architectural styles.

What is your biggest extravagance?I make an annual pilgrimage to Arizona to see the

Padres in spring training, and I share Padres season tick-

In the Andes Mountain of Ayacucho, Peru, lies a prison that is home to more than 200 impoverished women. Some live there with their young children, most are doing time for transporting drugs for minimal pay and all of them have something in common — Martha Dudenhoeffer Kolodny means the world to them.

Since 2008, the Del Mar resident has been visiting the community of women every few months to monitor not only their well-being, but the success of a business plan of sorts that she came up with on a volunteer trip in hopes of making things better for them. She is the creator of MAKI Interna-tional, under which she sells the Peruvian women’s hand-crafted textiles to bring in money for them. The organization sells products such as scarves, bags and yoga mat straps local-ly and on the website www.maki-women.org, and she has thus far raised enough money to install two flushing toilets — to take the place of holes in the floor — in the pris-on.

Kolodny’s efforts started when she visited Ayacucho with a volun-teer organization called Cross Cul-tural Solutions (CCS). Her daugh-ters, 23-year-old Carina and 26-year-old Lauren, had both volunteered abroad at an early age and urged her to take the trip.

“I’ve really encouraged my kids to do things abroad,” said Kolodney, adding that Carina went to Cuba at the age of 15 and Lauren flew to Peru by herself with CCS when she was only 17. “One day they said ‘Mom, you keep encourag-ing us to do this, so why don’t you do this? We’re doing an intervention. You are calling Cross Cultural Solutions and booking a trip before we go back to school.’”

Kolodny was interested in visiting Africa, but chose

Peru because she speaks Spanish — a skill she has picked up via running a local landscaping business and communicat-ing with the Spanish-speaking gardeners.

CCS assigned Kolodny to work in a local prison in Ayacucho — an area that’s still feeling the effects of a guerrilla insurgency conflict that resulted in the deaths of thousands in the 1980s. She said she made an instant connection with the in-mates from day one.

“I was anticipating something a little scarier, but it struck me how

these women were pretty normal,” she said. “Talking to these women, I didn’t feel any different than if I was talking to my friends in Del Mar.”

Kolodny said she was saddened to see that the women were given no more than a blanket and substandard food, and she empathized with them.

“They did something illegal, but they were also very, very poor single moms,” she said. “They made the wrong decisions but for the right reasons.”

Kolodny said she felt compelled to make things better

“The whole injustice of it was burning inside me ... it was like, ‘Well, what can I do?’ I’m not an attorney. It’s not like I can go fight the whole Peruvian system.”

BY KAREN BILLINGCarol Arêas believes that one way to heal a wounded

heart is to go to work on the hearts of others. A foreigner new to the United States and desperately homesick for her native Brazil, the now-Carmel Valley resident started a unique project to spread a little joy.

Her project, called Word Rocks, involves inspiring words and phrases painted on rocks and scattered through-out the city in the hope that someone will find them and it will make them smile.

“Sometimes the words just fit so perfect in the mo-ment,” said Arêas. “It’s a pleasure for me to do this. The main thing it does for me is to share love and share some-thing positive. It’s sharing happiness instead of me being stuck on loneliness. I’m feeling better because of this, it’s like a therapy for me to prepare the rocks.”

Arêas has been in San Diego for a year and while she loves it here, it was hard being in a new country, missing her family and friends.

Her husband suggested walking on the beach to help calm her mind and every time she did, she would notice these rocks, smoothed and rounded by the ocean. She start-ed to collect them and paint inspirational words on them for herself.

Her collection grew to the point that her son Antonio Monteiro, a fifth grader at Torrey Hills School, took notice.

“He had an idea so nice that instead of keeping them, how about spreading them out and maybe help someone else find a little happiness,” Arêas said. “I’m very proud that sharing was his idea. It’s amazing that a 10-year-old boy was able to think about sharing.”

Antonio even came up with the name Word Rocks.Enlisting Antonio as her rock hider, the pair went to

work. Arêas collects and paints the rocks and brings a hand-ful with them wherever they go.

“It’s cool,” Antonio said of the rocks. “I like to hide them.”

Rocks with words like “I will”; “Hope”; “Smile”; and “Life is good” are placed in parking lots, on park benches, hidden in sandboxes. A big Beatles fan, Arêas also uses a lot of Beatles lyrics on her rocks, such as “All my loving”; “All you need is love”; “Come together” and “Let it be.”

The Arêas family took a road trip up to San Francisco for Christmas and scattered the rocks along the trip. Word Rocks might have also been found on Hollywood Boulevard.

Two months ago they added a label to the back of the rocks that said, “It’s yours” and directed people toward their website to share their experience of finding one of the hid-

den treasures.“‘Love’ and ‘It’s

yours’ made such a positive impact, a playful wink from the universe,” wrote a woman named Effie who found the rock in Mira Mesa. The wom-an wrote that she would be paying it for-ward, hiding the rock in another spot to

hopefully brighten someone else’s day.Another message came in from the mother of a boy

named Jayden. The mom wrote that her son, who aspires to be an adventurous archeologist like Indiana Jones, un-earthed one rock at the park and was determined to find them all. Two weeks later his mother wrote in to say he found another rock at Target and that it’s really made him believe.

“I’m in the Del Mar Highlands Starbucks in San Diego near Torrey Pines High School and I found a rock that said ‘love.’ It made my day! Thank You,” wrote Ellen, who sent a picture of her rock next to her iced coffee.

“It’s very nice to see people’s reactions,” Arêas said.Arêas now has volunteers in Canada, Brazil and New

York City making and hiding the rocks — her plan to spread happiness and positive messages stretching even farther.

“My deepest desire is when you find one of the stones, you find the perfect words in the perfect time,” Arêas said.

Milton’s offers a variety of desserts and baked goods.

Make it Milton’s when you’re in the mood for deli-deliciousBY KELLEY CARLSON

M ilton’s Restaurant-Delicatessen offers the nostalgia of 1940s San

Diego, with a fresh food selection of classic cuisine. Owned by David Levy and Barry Robbins, Milton’s features more than 200 items on the menu alone, appealing to everyone from ages 3 to 93. And that doesn’t even include all the deli selections.

“We bake our own breads and pastries on the premises, and we import our meats (from Chicago) and fish (from New York),” Robbins said. “The portions are very generous.”

When entering the establishment, customers have a chance to feast their eyes on the deli’s offerings and the green-neon Milton’s sign. Meats hang over display cases filled with additional cold cuts and seafood; corners are filled with baked goods, while colorful pastries abound. There’s an array of beverages, from specialty coffees to Dr. Brown’s sodas. And naturally, Milton’s-brand items are available for purchase, including multi-grain crackers, bread and preserves.

Turn right and enter the restaurant for a step back in time. Black-and-white pictures of cars, people and businesses from the 1940s decorate the walls. There also are “old-school” advertisements for companies such as Kellogg’s, and large photos depicting Milton’s fare to entice the customer.

Meanwhile, a gigantic clock with Roman numerals tracks the hour in the center of the dining room, keeping patrons in the present. Large, arched windows provide a glimpse of palm trees swaying in the Southern California breeze.

Seemingly every breakfast dish imaginable is served throughout the day — from Milton’s Yogurt Parfait with house-made granola and fruit, to Lox Benedict and Cheese Blintzes.

For later meals, entrees cover the spectrum, from vegetarian to comfort foods. On the “light” end, try Milton’s Stuffed Tomato or Avocado, filled with your choice of tuna, chicken or egg salad; or the Chinese Chicken Salad.

For richer options, consider the Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie, Signature Meat Loaf, Pot Roast served on a bed of rice, or Baby-Back Ribs. And in between extremes are hamburgers with a variety of toppings, hot dogs and bratwurst, and “overstuffed” sandwiches.

Patrons in a hurry during midday can opt for a Brown Bagger Lunch Special with a build-your-own sand-wich, pickle, coleslaw and a cookie.

From 4 to 8 p.m. Friday to Sunday, Milton’s serves deep-dish, Chicago-style pizza — a carryover from Levy’s and Robbins’ days as owners of Chicago Brothers restaurant.

Still can’t decide what to order? Levy and General Manager Maria Colyer suggest a cup of the freshly made Our Famous Mish-Mosh Soup (chicken, noodles, carrots, matzo ball and kreplach in a chicken broth) and a sandwich with such meats as corned beef and pastrami. Make sure to include a side of homemade onion rings, fries or potato salad.

Keep in mind that a complimentary, mini-cinnamon-raisin loaf is served warm on the table every evening and weekend mornings.

Children can amuse themselves by playing games and drawing the server on their special menu, which includes kid-friendly meals like grilled cheese and a turkey dinner.

Cinnamon Raisin Bread is complimentary and served warm on the table every evening and weekday mornings. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON

Scenes from 1940s San Diego and ‘old-school’ advertisements can be seen on the dining-room walls.

David Levy and Barry Robbins are co-owners of Milton’s Restaurant-Delicatessan in Del Mar.

BY CATHARINE KAUFMANTailgate parties will be

heating up from Boonville to Gary, making a pit stop at 500 South Capitol Ave., Indianapolis this Sunday, 6:30 Eastern Time.

Roughly 70,000 stal-wart Super Bowl attendees will be cozying up under the retractable dome of the $720-million Lucas Oil Sta-dium. Frigid temperatures outside, the field turf will soon sizzle as hot and hunky quarterback stars — New England’s Tom Brady and New York’s Eli Man-ning — bandy their foot-ball prowess with halftime

punctuated by an iconic tight end – Madonna.

For the remaining 151.6 million fans, it’s high-definition home-bound when friends coast-to-coast share in the Big Game camaraderie and gustatory orgy. Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest grill-ing day of the winter sea-son, along with the second largest food consumption day of the year, losing out to Thanksgiving.

With just days to go ‘til the XLVI extravaganza, it’s time to strategize a cre-ative and healthful game plan if you’re hosting a shindig. Organize a region-al potluck incorporating the cuisines of New Eng-land, New York and Indi-ana.

For a New York state of mind, culinary cultures merge into a melting pot of American, Latin, Italian, Greek, Cuban and Jewish deli. Try black bean chili with plantain chips and mango salsa; lighter, lean-er, turkey, chicken or lam-burgers; do a football field pizza – fill a rectangular

cookie sheet with premade pizza dough, marinara sauce and shredded moz-zarella, replicating the field of play with chopped

broccoli and green pep-pers, the end zones with black olives and crumbled Italian chicken sausage, pepper strips for goal

lines, onion rings for yard markers, and mozzarella sticks for goal posts.

Serve turkey pastrami sliders topped with pickle

chips, and shake up New York-inspired libations like a Long Island Iced Tea or a classic Manhattan.

Some light and lively New England eats might include a seafood or corn chowder or chili, lobster rolls with New England–style hot dog buns, turkey or roast chicken subs or grinders, Boston baked beans, and for your just desserts New England ap-ple, rhubarb or blueberry popovers.

Quench that Big Game thirst with crisp apple ci-der or cranberry cocktail, local New England lagers and ales like Samuel Ad-ams or geographic-appro-priate libations as the Cape Codder.

For Hoosier cuisine, die-hard carnivores should at least choose organic pork tenderloin and grass-fed rib-eye steak for the sandwiches, Stromboli with goat cheese, corn on the cob and air-popped popcorn along with per-simmons pies, blending northern and southern In-diana faves.

It’s time to quarterback a winning Super Bowl soireeThe Kitchen Shrink

This all-American dish is a winner for any event.

Ingredients1/2 can red kidney beans1/2 can white navy beans1/2 can black beans1 pound lean ground turkey 1 red pepper, diced1/2 medium red onion, diced2 tablespoons olive oil2 garlic cloves, diced2 tablespoons chili powder1 teaspoon cumin1 teaspoon oregano1 bottle amber lager beer1 can or jar (28-ounce) pureed tomatoes2 ounces bittersweet chocolateSea salt, cracked pepper, Tabasco

Method: In a large skillet, heat half the oil on medium and add the turkey. Cook thoroughly, about 10 minutes, strain with a slotted spoon, transferring to a bowl. Heat the remaining oil and sauté the on-

ion, pepper and garlic until tender. Add cumin, chili and oregano, chocolate and beer, stirring until the liquid thickens. Add turkey and tomatoes, and cook on low, partially covering until the chili thickens, about 45 minutes, adding beans the last 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, Tabas-co, and garnish with red, white and blue toppings–roasted red peppers, white on-ions, Greek-style yoghurt, blue cheese. Serve with tortillas.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT

For 22 years, San Di-ego’s Jewish Film Festival has been presenting movies from all over the world about different facets of the Jewish experience. And now, even more than ever, you don’t have to be Jewish to find a movie to love.

This year’s selection in-cludes films from 15 differ-ent countries, including heartwarming dramas, ro-mantic comedies, incisive documentaries, and a spe-cial free program of short films from emerging direc-tors.

There are films that deal with the coming to-gether of opposites: young and old, straight and gay, deaf and hearing, left-wing and right-wing, Jews and Muslims.

There are films about historical events, not only the Holocaust, but also the Soviet purges of the 1930s and the virtually unknown long march from Ethiopia to the Sudanase border in the 1980s by thousands of Ethiopian Jews hoping to immigrate to Israel.

There are bio-pics about Gustav Mahler and Jascha Heifetz, each so full of music it’s like going to a concert, and the not-so-mu-sical lives of Henry Kissing-er, Tony Curtis, and Otto Frank (Anne’s father), as well as the lower-profile Polish Catholic priest who discovered and set out to re-claim his Jewish roots.

There’s a Teen Day, fea-turing “Kaddish for a Friend,” a film chosen by the festival’s teen-age focus group, and there’s a Family Day for preschoolers, featur-ing “Shalom Sesame Street.” Want a few laughs? See “Jews in ‘Toons,” with a special appearance by Mike Reiss, writer/producer for “The Simpsons.” Or “Jewish Food For Thought,” a series of animated pieces about life with his physicist father by Hanan Harchol.

“Our theme this year is The Power of Hope,” said Sandra Kraus, who has been

the festival’s producer for the past five years. A long-time member of the local arts community, her back-ground includes event plan-ning at MCASD-La Jolla, de-signing costumes at the La Jolla Playhouse, and direct-ing shows at the JCC’s Gar-field Theatre and other ven-ues.

“We believe we have an obligation to remember and honor the past, but we also believe it’s important to move forward and provide hope for the future,” Kraus said.

Which means not so many films about the Holo-caust, unless they’re really unique. And more films about disparate people dis-covering their commonali-ties, like the growing friend-

ship between an orthodox Jewish boy and the son of a prominent imam in Brook-lyn (“David”), or the comi-cally complicated relation-ship between a mild-man-nered Israeli professor and a spicy Mexican salsa dancer (“Salsa Tel Aviv,” shown in collaboration with San Di-ego’s Latino Film Festival.)

The selection commit-tee consists of 12 members, plus Kraus. They have their tentacles out in all direc-tions, soliciting submis-sions, reading reviews, trav-eling to other Jewish film fests. (There are currently 80 of them in the U.S.) In April, they start screening films for the following Feb-ruary. “We already have 50 films waiting for next year,” Kraus said.

Time Magazine called this documentary about the childhood, career, and murder trial of the music man who created the legendary Wall of Sound in the late 1950s, “A psycho-profile you can dance to.” (USA/UK)

‘Mabul (The Flood)’ a coming-of-age film from Israel, opens this year’s Jewish Film Festival on Feb. 9.

Experience Rancho Bernardo’s

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Over the years, The Beatles have been

honored by film, stage, and musical trib-utes, but probably never before in the me-dium of quilts. On Feb. 3, the small but mighty Visions Art Museum will present 43 pieces in homage to the Fab Four at an artists’ reception, part of the monthly First Friday event at Liberty Station.

“Magical Mystery Tour” is the theme of this year’s “challenge competition” from Canyon Quilters, a University City group that includes many of Visions’ members. The challenge: To come up with a 14-inch-square quilt inspired by the Bea-tles.

Judy Warren-Tippets, a local resident who is also a Visions board member, was pleased to have her “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” chosen for the show.

“At first, I couldn’t come up with any ideas,” she confessed. “But when I went online and found a list of their song titles — they wrote about 200 songs! — my memories of the tunes came flooding back. And ‘Lucy’ sounded like so much fun for an art quilt.”

Fun is definitely the key word for this exhibit, which promises to be a real crowd-pleaser.

“The quilts are whimsical, the artists are local ... What’s not to like?” said Vi-sions Executive Director, Beth Smith.

But wait ... there’s more. There will ac-tually be three shows and a total of 118 quilts on display at Visions.

“Art Meets Science” is a traveling ex-hibit of 35 quilts by artists from eight countries, inspired by such unlikely sub-jects as binary fission, the RNA of micro-scopic worms, the anatomy of the swine flu virus, and computer-generated imag-es of fractal geometry, which scientists use to describe chaos in the natural world. These beautiful quilts from SAQA (Studio Art Quilts Association) are any-

thing but chaotic, and will have you contemplating scientific issues in a whole new way.

Last but not least is a display of 40, 12-inch-square quilts from the Del Thom-as Collection. Del Thomas, who has lived in Southern California since the 1950s, started making quilts as a child in Oregon. Her work has appeared in magazines and various exhibits, and she has collected some 180 contemporary quilts of all sizes

Quilted Beatles homage comes to Visions Museum

If you goWhat: “Magical Mystery Tour: en hom-age” to the Beatles & more When: February 3-April 22, 2012Artists’ Reception: 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 3 Where: Visions Art Museum at Liberty Station, 2825 Dewey Road, Suite 100Contact: (619) 546-4872Website: visionsartmuseum.org

‘Imagining Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,’ a quilt by La Jollan Judy Warren-Tippets, is part of the Beatles homage at Visions Art Museum,

from all over the world, which she frequently lends to museums and galleries, to promote the art quilts she loves so well. A strong and continuing supporter of Visions, she will be hon-ored by the museum at the exhibit’s opening by hav-ing the main gallery re-named for her.

Judy Warren-Tippets said she’s looking forward to seeing all the quilts on display.

“It’s interesting that we’re doing the Beatles show, because art quilting hadn’t yet developed when they were performing,” she said. “It really started to emerge in the 1980s, but now it’s a huge category, and it’s thrilling that we in San Diego have a world-class art quilt venue and that Visions is on the map in the international art world.”

While she enjoys spending quality time with her people friends, HORTENCE is also content to spend time on her own. She has an independent spirit. And although she doesn’t always like to be petted and held, she has a big heart and can’t wait to share all of her love with a special family of her own. She likes to take her time approaching new situations. She’s a bit shy with new faces and places, but warms up as she becomes more familiar with her environment. Hortence is a mellow and easy-going companion, content just to feel loved. Hortence would prefer a home with older children. During the Furry Valentine Promotion, from January 14th through February 14th of 2012, her adoption fee is $14 which includes her spay, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, and a certificate for a free veterinary exam!

Describe your greatest accomplishment.

My two awards for mentoring women in the chemical sciences. One award is from the American

Chemical Society, and the other is Afrom our local Athena, San Diego. I have enjoyed mentoring stu-dents, and thereby return-ing the favor granted to me by the many mentors I have had – the women who blazed the way in chemis-try, and the male chemists who supported them and

me.What is your philoso-

phy of life?My outlook on life re-

flects my scientific views — be observant and curious, ask questions, and look for patterns and relationships in what you learn. I am never bored.

for these women.“When I first went

there the whole injustice of it was burning inside me. Then it was like, ‘Well, what can I do?’ I’m not an attor-ney. It’s not like I can go fight the whole Peruvian system.”

She considered using her landscaping skills to help the women start a com-munity garden, but changed her mind when she took note of their incredible em-broidery and knitting skills.

“When I saw them knit-ting, I began trying to think of something they could

knit that my friends in Del Mar would buy,” she said.

Kolodny began buying the women high-quality yarn, and bringing crafts like stuffed animals and scarves back to sell. The knitted pieces have raised enough to install toilets in the prison, and now Kolod-ny has begun thinking about the women’s future after incarceration and im-plementing educational pro-grams that focus on art, reading and writing.

“We are trying to equip them with some skills so they don’t have to go back to the drug trade,” she said, adding that her work in Aya-cucho has made her more aware of daunting global so-

cietal problems.“It’s just so overwhelm-

ing sometimes, but it’s what I can handle, especially with my landscaping business,” she said. “What I’m doing is so small. It’s a tiny drop in the bucket. But my daugh-ters tells me, ‘It may not be much globally, but you mean the world to these women.’”

MAKI is embarking on a new line of vibrant, hand-embroidered yoga mat straps that could be a hit in yoga-centric North County San Diego. To shop for MAKI accessories or learn more about MAKI, visit www.makiwomen.org.

The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) presents its third concert of the 57th season with music director Steven Schick leading the orchestra and guest soloists in a program of stark and very beautiful drama: Verdi’s overture to La Forza del Destino, Nicholas Deyoe’s still getting rid of (2011-2012 Thomas Nee Commission), John Adams’ The Wound Dresser, and Brahm’s Symphony No. 1 in C minor.

Giuseppe Verdi’s opera, La Forza del Destino (The Force of Destiny), was based on a Spanish drama, Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino (1835), by Ángel de Saavedra, Duke of Rivas. The story is a classic one of love and bloody revenge featuring a young nobleman who has fallen in love with a woman whose father prohibits her from marrying him. The opera was first performed in St. Petersburg in 1862. The overture is part of the standard orchestral rep-ertoire and a favored concert opener.

The performances take place Feb. 11–12 in Mandeville Auditorium at UCSD. Concert times are 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Individual tickets are $29 general, $26 senior, and $15 student. Group discounts are available. Parking is free. A pre-concert lec-ture is offered one hour prior to concert times. To purchase tickets or for more information, call the LJS&C office at (858) 534-4637 or visit www.lajollasymphony.com.
