A local market received anunscheduled pre-dawnfacelift during a failed burgla-ry attempt to steal its ATMmachine, the store managersaid Aug. 19.

Other than some cosmet-ic damage to the now nonop-erational ATM, there is no evi-dence of the destructioncaused by a Chevy Coloradopickup truck that was backedthrough the front windows ofStumps Village Market inRancho Santa Fe during theearly morning hours of

Aug. 17.After busting through

the 120-square-foot glass wall,the thieves attached a movingstrap to the ATM in anattempt to rip it from the mar-

ket, Store Manager MatthewBasham said. He said the cashmachine, which is secured byfive bolts in eight inches ofconcrete, caused the strap tobreak.

Basham said he arrivedat the store around 3:30 a.m.and believes the crimeoccurred approximately anhour earlier.

“A cigarette case waslying in the parking lot; ciga-rettes, glass and plants wereeverywhere,” Basham said ofthe scene. There was glasshalfway down the aisles andscattered throughout thenearby produce, he said.

Basham, whose father-in-law owns the store, said heexpects the damages toexceed $10,000. Prior toStumps Village Market open-

ing its doors nearly 15 yearsago, Basham said the build-ing, located in the 16000block of Via de Santa Fe,housed another market,which dated back to the1960s.

Patrick Galvin Sr., an 18-year resident of RanchoSanta Fe, said he was sur-prised to hear about thedestructive break-in; however,he said he got an even biggershock when he discovered thethieves used his son’s pickuptruck, which had movingstraps in it, to commit thecrime.

The truck was discoveredaround 4 p.m.Aug. 17 in a dirtlot roughly a block from themarket and Galvin’s resi-dence. The vehicle had beenleft abandoned with a blown

tire and the door open, Galvinsaid. Additionally, he said thebed of the pickup was filledwith glass and the tailgatesustained damage.

Since the beginning ofthe year, Rancho Santa Fe hasrecorded six other businessburglaries, Jeffrey Vandersip, acrime analyst with the SheriffDepartment’s Encinitas sub-station, said.

In August, there has beenone other business burglar-ized within the community,hesaid.

Vandersip said hebelieves this is Rancho SantaFe’s first ATM machine theftcase since the beginning of2008.

Lead storyLonely Japanese men

(and a few women) with richimaginations have created athriving subculture(“otaku”) in which theyhave all-consuming relation-ships with figurines that arebased on popular animecharacters. “The lessextreme,” reported a NewYork Times writer in July,obsessively collect the dolls.The hardcore otaku “actual-ly believes that a lumpy pil-low with a drawing of a(teenage character) is hisgirlfriend,” and takes herout in public on romanticdates. “She has reallychanged my life,” said“Nisan,” 37, referring to hisgal, Nemutan. (The otakudolls are not to be confusedwith the life-size, anatomi-cally-correct dolls that otherlonely men use for sex.) Oneforlorn “2-D” (so named forpreferring relationshipswith two-dimensionals) saidhe would like to marry areal, 3-D woman, “(b)ut lookat me. How can someonewho carries this (doll)around get married?”

Cultural Diversity— Thousands of

Koreans, and some tourists,uninhibitedly joined in themessy events of July’sByryeong City Mud Festival,which glorifies the joys of anactivity usually limited topigs. Mud wrestling, mud-sliding, a “mud prison” andcolored mud baths dominat-ed the week’s activities, butso unfortunately did derma-tological maladies, whichhospitalized 200 celebrants.

— National Specialties:(1) In May, Singapore’sOlympic Council, finding noathlete good enough,declined to name a nationalSportsman of the Year. (2) Asurvey of industrializednations by the Organizationfor Economic Cooperationand Development revealedthat Japanese and Koreanssleep the least, while theFrench spend the most timeat both sleeping and eating.(3) A Tokyo rail passengercompany, Keihin, installed aface-scanning machinerecently so that employees,upon reporting for work, cantell whether they are smil-ing broadly enough to pres-ent a good impression.

Latest ReligiousMessages

— The director of achild advocacy group toldThe Associated Press inJune that, since 1975, atleast 274 children have diedfollowing the withholding ofmedical treatment based onreligious doctrine. In onehigh-profile case this year,the father of a girl said turn-ing her over to doctorswould violate God’s word(she died), but in another, aMinnesota family that hadtrusted their son’s cancer toprayer,based on advice fromsomething called theNemenhah Band, changedcourse and allowedchemotherapy, which so far

By Bianca KaplanekDEL MAR — Nearly a

dozen people thanked the22nd District AgriculturalAssociation board of direc-tors at the Aug. 11 meetingfor imposing smoking restric-tions at this year’s San DiegoCounty Fair, saying it madefor a much more pleasantexperience.

Then they took it onestep further and urged theboard to make the venueentirely smoke-free for nextyear’s event.

“Generally speaking,things looked a lot better,”Carmel Valley resident TomHetherington said. But hedescribed signage that wasused to indicate smoking waslimited to restricted areas as“pathetic.” He said the plac-ards were too small and thereweren’t enough of them.

Hetherington, who lastsummer urged the board toimpose restrictions to helpdeal with marijuana use atthe fair,also said he saw manyfair employees smokingabout 20 feet from the desig-nated areas.“Who’s supposedto confront them?” he asked.

Hetherington said a lotof the uncertainty could beavoided with better signsand announcements at theconcerts.

Spending a week of summervacation learning pre-engi-neering, physics and aerody-namic principles may notsound like much fun forsome students, but it was ablast — or blast off, in thiscase — for the eight boysand two girls who participat-ed in David Warner’s rock-etry camp at Rancho SantaFe School.

The group of 9- to 12-year-olds learned the princi-ples of rocketry by design-ing, building and launchingfive different rockets thatbecame progressively moresophisticated throughoutthe five-day camp thatbegan Aug. 17.

The first day, studentsbuilt paper rockets thatused Kelvin’s high-pressurelaunch system. Next theycreated small and largeStratoblaster bottle rockets.The larger versions werebuilt with soda bottles, ping-pong balls and athleticcones and included para-chute recovery systems.

The final days werespent building classic Estesrockets such as Alpha, BigBertha and Camanche, and“roll your own” rocketsusing Estes-powered rocketengines.

While the difficultylevel varied for each stu-dent, they all said theyenjoyed the class, describingit as “cool,” “very fun,” and

I’ve had enough.You can’t goanywhere anymore and smoke acigarette. I know, smoking is evil.It will eventually kill you, and it’sbeen rumored Satan smokesMarlboros. But when did itbecome OK to chase smokers outof town?

We ran a story in The CoastNews last week about smoking atthe county fair (“Board urged togo smoke-free at fair”). It seemsthere’s a determined army oflocal nonsmokers fighting topractically eliminate smokingfrom the public eye. They claimthe fair board did a poor job ofpartitioning smokers from non-smokers; that the “No Smoking”signage was “pathetic” at best.Furthermore, they utilize the old,worn-out “for the sake of theimpressionable children” argu-ment.

I reluctantly went to the fairone afternoon, and thought thesmoking pen worked just fine. Ididn’t spot any kids bumming acigarette, nor did the second-hand smoke seem to agitate thepassersby. Yet we continue to seesmoke-free folks go for the jugu-lar, skipping public discoursewith their neighbors and goingstraight to the board of directorslike a bunch of crybabies.

If you don’t like it, then goelsewhere. As singer/songwriterBen Harper once said (presum-ably in reference to an illegalsmoking product): If you don’tlike my fire, then don’t comearound. Well put.

I understand eliminatingsmoking from restaurants. I tooenjoy my meals not smelling ofdirty ashtrays. The same goes forthe beaches (sorry, I’ve seen onetoo many butts in the sand toback smokers up on this one). But

banning smoking at bars? Onsidewalks? At Coaster stations?In elementary schools? I’m kid-ding! Calm down.

Honestly though, limitationsneed to be established here. Thisbandwagon mentality is out ofcontrol. The nonsmoking armyspots a few smokers huddled in adark, out-of-the-way corner, andthey immediately spring intoaction. The smoking witch huntis in full gear.

Put it in perspective: howwould you feel if the anti-winecrowd was pleading with countyofficials to ban all vino salesbecause kids might get the wrongimpression otherwise? And I’mtalking to the over-50 crowd I seestill sipping a few glasses on thebeach as if the new laws don’tapply to you. You’d be downrightpissed, wouldn’t you?

While I do dabble with smok-ing from time to time, I am notaddicted to nicotine. I haven’tbought a pack of cigarettes inyears. Although that ArturoFuente cigar I had on my birth-day last week was a real treat!Soon, I won’t be able to enjoysuch an indulgence, considering Ihave every last nonsmoker look-ing out for my good health. Gee,thanks.

What further irritates meabout these nonsmoking mis-sionaries are their persistent

can cut off power to 130,000 backcountry folks on days of high wild-fire threats. Approval is expectedwith several conditions.

Good idea?Lotsa palaver over the pro-

posed name change of QuailBotanical Gardens to San Diego

Botanic Garden. Highly negativecomments.

In the late 1950s, the brass ofthe San Diego County Fair decidedto call it the Southern CaliforniaExposition in an effort to lureexhibitors, concessionaires andattendance from adjacent coun-ties. It didn’t happen. Then itbecame the Del Mar Fair, whichgave the impression it was just acommunity celebration. Now it’sthe San Diego County Fair againand it’s likely this moniker willprevail for a while. Participantsand attendees come from all partof the universe. The fair’s tremen-dous growth can be attributed tosuperb management and staffrather than the name.

Recall election Dec. 8It will be a Merry Christmas

for one of two O’side warring fac-tions in O’side. At issue is whetherCouncilman Jerry Kern should getthe ax.The caper has lotsa O’sidersshaking their noodles over the$450,000 the election will cost. Ifthe current majority on the coun-cil remains (of which Kern is amember) it will leave the employ-ees’ union in a very weak positionwhen its contracts come up fornegotiation.The union is the finan-cial backer of the recall and beforeelection day it will have invested alot more cash.

Spending moneyFolks who use the expression,

“spending money like a drunkensailor” are out of touch with reali-ty. America’s gallant maritime sea

persons can’t afford booze. Morecorrect to say, “spending moneylike a drunken congressperson.”They can and do.

Smith explained that inthe past vacation check callshave been through the normaldispatch service.

By Wehtahnah TuckerENCINITAS — City

Council voted 4-0 Aug. 19 tospend approximately $1.1million for consultants toupdate the city’s general plan.Councilman James Bond wasabsent. While several speak-ers were unhappy with thechoice of the traffic consult-ant, others thought the use ofany consultants was a misuseof taxpayer funds.

City Council voted 3-1 toaccept the staff recommenda-tion of Austin Foust andAssociates to complete thegeneral plan update trafficstudy. Councilwoman TeresaBarth said she would like tosee the study done by citystaff. Councilman JeromeStocks said that a competitivebid process would be appro-priate.

The city request for pro-posals for the general planupdate included the need fornew policies such as sustain-ability, climate action planand healthy communities, aswell as existing policiesincluding walkability in thecity.

MIG, Inc. — a Berkley-based consulting companywith offices in San Diego —was chosen over nine otherapplicants with unanimoussupport from staff and otherson the interview panel toserve as the main consultanton the city’s general planupdate process.

Planning DepartmentDirector Patrick Murphy saidthe two-year process was amajor undertaking. He saidpublic outreach was the mostimportant component. “Itneeds to be their (residents’)general plan,” he said.

Daniel Iacofano, a found-

ing principal of MIG,addressed the council. Hestressed the importance ofpublic participation in thegeneral plan update process.He noted that through hisresearch he found the city was“clearly a quality communi-ty.”

“We’re not here toimpose our agenda on thecommunity,” Iacofano said.

“We’ll be looking at traf-fic very carefully,” he said. Inan effort to establish a morewalkable community and

maintain open spaces, he saidMIG would use a freshapproach.

The process will takeplace in three phases. Thefirst will engage communitymembers through public dis-cussions, surveys and com-ment cards, while the secondand third will establish draftsand fine tuning. MIG put anemphasis on gathering inputfrom young people and fami-lies through social network-ing and nine public work-shops.

The most controversialissue was the company chosento complete a crucial elementof the general plan update.Staff requested $110,000 forAustin Foust and Associatesto complete a traffic study.

Encinitas residentDonna Westbrook told the

council that the general planupdate was something thatshould be done in-house bythe Planning Department.She suggested the funds bespent on tangible infrastruc-ture maintenance. “Get your

By Bianca KaplanekCARMEL VALLEY —

When Demitri de la Cruzreturned from the 2008American TaekwondoAssociation world champi-onship tournament with thegold medal in traditionalforms as a first-degreeblack belt in the 8- to 10-year-old division, he knew itwould be a tough act to fol-low.

But even with a fewextra challenges, the 11-year-old Carmel Valley resi-dent managed to top thatperformance by takinghome a medal in each of hisfour events during thisyear’s tournament, heldJune 25 and June 26 inLittle Rock, Ark.

Demitri repeated hisfirst-place finish in tradi-tional forms, this time as asecond-degree black belt,and took home his first goldmedal Xtreme forms.

He also was the silvermedalist in traditionalweapons and the bronzewinner in sparring.

The gold medal inXtreme forms was especial-ly satisfying since it’sDemitri’s favorite category.

“I like Xtreme formsbecause you can do tricksand you can put in whatev-er you want, whereas in tra-ditional you have to doforms that they make foryou,” he said.

Since last year, Demitrimoved up a rank, so he hadthe added pressure of com-peting in a higher divisionwith second- and third-degree black belts.

He also aged up intothe 11- to 13-year-old cate-gory.

And if that weren’tenough, his birthday is inMay — one month beforethe competition — makinghim perhaps the youngestin his division.

“Some of my competi-tors from before moved upwith me, but some of theother ones were still prettychallenging,” he said. “It’spretty tough, especially insparring because you’regoing against the biggerguys. They’re two or threeheads taller than me.”

To prepare for the com-petition, Demitri trainedtwo or three days a week atChurch’s Martial Arts stu-dios in Carmel Valley.

He also traveled toNorth Hollywood once aweek for private lessonsand on occasionalSaturdays for conditioning.

“Conditioning istougher because you haveto do three of each form,and after that, put in repsor combos,” Demitri said.While all that training cer-tainly paid off, it still didn’tmake the tournament com-pletely stress-free.

“When I’m in the mid-dle of competition I have topush myself through it ashard as I can,” he said. “Butwhen I’m done, I feel great.”

When he’s not in a gymperfecting his martial artsmoves, Demitri, a sixth-grader at Santa FeMontessori in SolanaBeach, plays soccer and lastyear found time to hone hisacting skills when heplayed the role of Jojo inhis school’s production of“Seussical the Musical.”

He also recently was partof the 25th anniversary tourof the Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtles, performing at middleand martial arts schools,malls and the 40th annualComic-Con International inSan Diego.

For most of the tour,Demitri was the first to per-former because he was theyoungest member of thegroup.

“It was pretty fun,” hesaid. “When I did my firstperformance, I was reallynervous. But then when Idid it over and over again Igot more relaxed and hadmore fun with it.”

Following his medal-winning performances inArkansas, Demitri compet-ed in the World Martial ArtsChampionships in Orlando,Fla., where he was one ofeight finalists in five divi-sions.

General plan update consultants get mixed reviews

By Randy KalpCARLSBAD — An off-

duty San Diego patrol offi-cer, accused of beingdrunk in public after shedrew a handgun at aCarlsbad bar, has resignedfrom the department, aSan Diego policespokesperson said.

Christine Thurston,23, resigned Aug. 20 afterbeing on administrativeleave following the Aug. 14incident at Hennessey’sTavern in downtownCarlsbad, Monica Munoz, aspokesperson with the SanDiego Police Department,said.

Thurston had been apatrol officer with the SanDiego Police Departmentless than a year, Munozsaid.

Carlsbad policearrested Thurston on sus-picion of public drunken-ness, a misdemeanor, afterthe manager atHennessey’s called 911around 10 p.m. to reportthat a patron had pulledout a firearm, authoritiessaid.

“I just had a younglady pull a gun out of herpurse,” the manager toldthe 911 operator. “She waslooking in her purse tograb a wallet, and she justpulled it out of her purseand held it up in the air.”

Someone at the bardisarmed Thurston andthen bouncers took heroutside to wait for authori-ties to arrive, Carlsbadpolice said.

In the 911 call, themanager said Thurstonwas “extremely intoxicat-ed,” but cooperative withthe bouncers.

“It scared the crap outof me!” the manager toldthe 911 operator.

Because Thurston didnot actually threaten any-one with the handgun, shewas not arrested for bran-dishing a firearm,Carlsbad police said.

Munoz said SDPD offi-cers are permitted to carrytheir weapons if they areout drinking.

However, it is the poli-cy of the San Diego PoliceDepartment that off-dutyofficers, regardless if theyare carrying a gun or not,“cannot drink to the pointthat they are impaired andcan’t make good deci-sions,” Munoz said. An Oct.7 court hearing is sched-uled for Thurston’s case.

So I may have vented abit in the past about theplethora (to put it politely) ofItalian restaurants inEncinitas, yet there arealways stars in a crowdedfield and Vigilucci scoredwith his cozy brick-ovenfueled hideaway in the heartof funky Leucadia attached toRobbie’s Roadhouse. It has itsown personality though witha completely different lookand feel and a back patio thatis a little oasis. And the coolthing is, if you are not feelingthe rustic Italian vibe you canorder from the pizzeria menuat the Roadhouse and catchsome live music. So we haveestablished it’s a chill place inan old-school stretch of CoastHighway in North County,now let’s talk about thisBismark Pizza that hasbecome one of my favoritefoods to introduce friends toover the past few years main-ly because the initial reactionis almost always one of tworesponses.The first is a polite,oh, “That’s interesting” andthe second is the more closedminded “That’s gross” or “I’mnot having egg on a pizza.”Whatever the initial reaction,

I’ve recorded a very high per-centage of converts aftertheir first bite. Pizza allaBismark is an amazing combi-nation of wood fired thincrust topped with tomatosauce, mozzarella, asparagus,and oven-roasted egg.There isa slice of asparagus on eachpiece of pizza and two eggscracked on top that bakewhile the pizza cooks. Irequest a special order thatI’m sure they would not have

a problem repeating and itreally does make all the dif-ference. I order two extra eggsfor more egg coverage on thepie then order the wholething well done which givesthe crust an extra crisp andcooks the eggs a little moreover-medium so they are notrunny but still have plenty ofegg yolk goodness that is per-fectly mopped up with theamazing crust.

TURN TO DUNKERS ON 18


I thought I was going totell you about my trip to La Paz.That was my original intentionfor this week’s column. In fact,my entire trip I kept trying tocome up with the opening linein my mind. “There is no senseof urgency in La Paz. Life isslow, drawn out like the littleripples across the shores ofBaja California.”

I was going to tell youabout the importance of takingtime to slow down and toremove your mind from com-puters, technology and all ofthose “must have” gadgets. Iwanted to tell you how the hotair in Mexico felt like the soft-est wind to ever caress my skin.I wanted to tell you all of thesegrand things. However, as I sithere in the wee early hours ofthe morning, those images arewonderful,but they cannot con-vey to you the tranquility Ifound in a small fishing town,that most have overlooked as avacation spot. I cannot capturein words the serenity I found inthose scattered hot moments ofdaily showers to keep cool, orthe wonderful day we laid outin the sun too long and my hus-band was sunburned. I cannotfit into this column the emotionthat sits in me as I write this. Iam pondering my thoughts todig out the shining days we soloved. Yet, I cannot convey toyou what I found in Mexico.

What can I tell you? Ifound pieces of my soul I hadforgotten. While honeymoon-ing in La Paz, I rememberedthe importance of silence andreflection. Lately, I have beenso busy trying to do as much aspossible when really I havemissed out on the simple thingswe seem to forget,or maybe it’sjust me.I think with all that hastranspired over the past coupleof months, I took refuge inthose 10 days in stillness of theblue sky. The simple shades ofthe shallow water near theshores of town spoke to me.

I even found a bus ride toCabo San Lucas to be one ofthe most romantic days of mylife. Robin and I had chartereda bus to Cabo for one day. Onour return ride home, we acci-dentally bought tickets for thebus that made all of the pitstops on the way back.Our two-hour bus ride turned into acrammed ride with local resi-dents and their children watch-ing a black and white movie inSpanish. Our legs weresquished against the seats, andthe speakers had a high-pitchwhistle blaring out of the over-head-outdated speakers. Thiswas not the trip back we hadplanned,but it turned out to beone of my favorite moments.The beauty of the resorts, thepeaceful water, all of it reawak-ened that sense of innocencethat I had misplaced. “Ienjoyed the journey.” Youknow, that cliché saying that’sbeen written in too many self-help books over the last 30years.

I found all of these littlelessons for me in those 10 daysunder the hot sun. I reflectedon the importance of gratitudeand love. I thought about all of

my wonderful friends, and co-workers I had back in SanDiego.

As I took my last ferry rideacross the Sea of Cortez back tothe airport, I kept thinking ofthe opening line for this col-umn.

What I discovered is some-times words cannot replace theexperience of a soft summerbreeze or the quiet momentswe find in a fishing town calledLa Paz.

Around townAt the end of July, I met

Scott Baker, the owner ofGemini Fit studio in SolanaBeach.He just recently openedhis own private gym that catersto those that would rather skipthe larger workout places thatcan sometimes feel more like ameat market. Scott informedme that he moved to San Diegoalmost 10 years ago. With anavid love for fitness and his pur-

suit in a philosophy that com-bines both a private workoutand his Gemini Fit philosophyall into one work-out session.With my recent weight loss suc-cess, I have been uncovering allof these wonderful places near-by the Ranch that have won-derful ways for you to slimdown easily by combing diet

and exercise.Scott Baker is oneof these private trainers thatwill give you the attention youneed, while incorporating hisGemini Fit philosophy for hisclientele. To find out more onhis studio and services, checkout www.geminifit.com.ThanksScott for sharing with“Machel’s Ranch.”

On Aug.7,I stepped onto aweight scale at Medizone inEncinitas and found out somewonderful news: I had hit mybenchmark weight loss of 30pounds on a diet monitored byRanch resident Dr. JonathonHayes. Think Jen Annistonhere and that sitcom Friends.Do you remember how sheslimmed down in the mid-1990s? Well,she went on the Dr.Barry Sears Zone Diet. I justwant to thank Dr. Hayes forencouraging me to try his clinicand encourage anyone thatwould like to lose weight andcan’t seem to lose the extra

pounds to invest in this weightloss program.Losing 30 poundsin six weeks has dramaticallychanged my attitude, but mostof all, the way I feel on a day today basis.This is not an all-pro-tein diet. Rather, one based ondistribution of food from all thedifferent food groups,based offof the glycemic index. My

favorite new snacks are blue-berries and whip-cream, theoccasional tangerine and a shotof tequila on my honeymooninstead of that classic margari-ta with all of the calories.I mustadmit, swallowing my prideand finding the courage to signup was the hardest hurdle tocross. I want to personallythank the entire staff for theirencouragement over the last

six weeks.Thanks to the bikiniimage I wanted to be like, I wasable to feel good about myselfin a two-piece swimsuit.Here istheir direct number: (760) 783-9200.

On Aug. 8, I departed the“around town” scene inRancho Santa Fe by crossingthe Mexico border! First timeever, for me. I flew out ofTijuana,Mexico, to La Paz for afraction of the cost. If you arelooking for great airline prices,park your car off of the last exitbefore the check point, andtake a shuttle. This was one ofthe easiest travel days. I hadexpected just the opposite. Weflew on Volaris airlines, asophisticated airline companylocated in Mexico. Cut yourvacation costs in half by avoid-ing San Diego Airport when fly-ing south. Thank you to Katieand Ken Shull for allowing us

to stay in your gorgeous condofor our honeymoon.

On Aug. 12, all of La Pazwas celebrating the soccer winagainst the United States. Thefinal score was 2-1. I’ve neverseen so many happy peoplewaving the Mexican flag, whiledriving down the streets. Isnapped a quick shot of Robinwith one of the local waiters atour favorite restaurant, El

Patron. I must confess I am nota soccer fan, so I didn’t feelguilty to be excited for theirwin against the United States.

All I wanted was a picture— OK, two pictures — of myfamily. Shouldn’t that be sim-ple?

My goal this summer wasto get two photos taken whilemy children were all living inthe same city. I might havebeen more successful had Iplanned a trip to the moon. Atleast we know for certain thatcan be done.

The first tip is a goodreminder to closely moni-tor the amount of productsyou use. The reader men-tions laundry detergent asan example. I’d like to addthat when using liquiddetergent, the cap is notmeant to be filled. By forceof habit, many people sim-ply fill it. The measure-ment lines are on theinside of the cap and areoften hard to see, andinstructions for amountsare on the container. Youcan measure and mark thecap with permanent mark-er or simply use your ownmeasuring cup.

Measure accurately Use the least amount

possible of something toget the job done. Measurefor accuracy. Guessing howmuch something “is” usu-ally ends up in waste. Thisgoes for everything fromlaundry detergent to cook-ing in the kitchen and any-thing else you use by ameasured amount. Thatteaspoon of vanilla youjust “eyeballed” may havebeen more like two, so youjust wasted a teaspoon. Doyou mindlessly make fiveor six passes on yourunderarms with deodorantwhen one or two will do?

When you meet Roberto(“Robbie”) Vigilucci, hiswarm hearted passion radi-ates an old-world charmItalians call “e’voglio bene” (my great desire.) His Italianstyle restaurants and wineselections have leaped aheadof the pack and now total 8,plus a catering business. Hisone-of-kind locations, first inEncinitas in 1994, to his latesthandsome dining room inCoronado next to the DelCoronado Resort Hotel,reflects the Vigilucci personaltouch of home style ingredi-ents, extensive Italian favoredwine list and a happy “good-times” atmosphere.

The wines offered are insuch quantity that a 16 pagebooklet is offered, completewith a table of contents. Themanager at the Coronadolocation, Daniel Brenner,urged us to try his most excit-ing Italian value wine, a cre-ation from the Puglia regionof Italy that was made fromthe Primitivo grape.

If that varietal is new toyou, think Zinfandel.Primitivo grapes werebrought to California early inits development as a winecountry, and becameZinfandel. But DNA testspointed to Italy and Croatiaas the birthplace for this pop-ular varietal. Vigilucci offersa bottle of Ognisole 2006Primitivo for just $33. Likemost Italian wines, this one isbrimming with a mineralstatement of the earth, withenough acidity to wrap

around cheeses, breads, pas-tas and other rustic Italianred-sauced based meals. Thewine made them taste thatmuch better.

A wonderful Italian-stylestarter plate for two is theAntipasto della Casa. In it aregenerous portions ofCalamari, Caprese,Bruschettas, Prosciutto diParma, Salame, and severalstyles of imported cheeses.

Fresh baked Italianbread compliments the fla-vors. The main entrees aresavory steaks, seafood anddinner salads, pastas, raviolisand risottos. “Robbie”believes and lives for thehighest quality and he sees toit that locations open everyday with that standard. Anold Italian saying says that “if

you want to serve the best,you put your thumb in thesauce” and taste for yourselfbefore serving.

The next time you dine atone of Vigilucci’s 8 restau-rants you can be sure that“Robbie” has been there tomake sure it is the best. For aVigilucci’s location near you,access www.vigiluccis.com.

Wine Sommeliers –Are They StillNeeded?

In the years before wineeducation and tastingbecame the vogue, a winedinner at a nicer restaurantbecame an intimidatingadventure and diners reliedon the guidance ( mostly dic-tates ) of the wine sommelier

or director who opened awine list of strange namesfrom far-away places.

Where did this ritualcome from in the wine world?Back in the FrenchRenaissance, individualsbought the title and becamepersonal assistants to noble-men in the royal court. Theystocked food and wine forjourneys and kept the sup-plies in a carriage or“somme.” However the mostimportant job was to taste thewine and cuisine before it waspresented to the noblemanand his guests, to ensure thatno poisons were in the ingre-dients.

Today’s fine restaurantsommeliers choose the wines,

RANCHO SANTA FE —The Country Friends willonce again partner withSouth Coast Plaza to presentthe 54th annual Art ofFashion Runway Show Sept.24 at The Inn at Rancho SantaFe. Proceeds from the event,with luncheon fashion showand boutique shopping andwine tasting will benefit

Voices for Children, whichprovides court advocates forchildren in foster care.

For tickets and informa-tion, contact The CountryFriends at (858) 756-1192, ext.4 or via e-mail at [email protected].

The Country Friends wasformed in 1954 by a group ofcharitable and public-spirited

Rancho Santa Fe women. Theorganization began with 167members and has grown tomore than 1,200 and has dis-tributed more than $12 millionto human-care agencies in SanDiego County.

The Country Friendsorganization, encompassingSan Diego County, is dividedinto nine areas, each of which

is represented on the board ofdirectors: 4S Ranch; RanchoSanta Fe, Fairbanks;Carlsbad/Oceanside; DelMar/Solana Beach/Encinitas;La Jolla; Lake San Marcos/SanMarcos, Vista; East RanchoSanta Fe, Escondido, Bonsall,San Luis Rey; Fallbrook;Rancho Bernardo, Poway, DelRayo; El Cajon/San Diego.

chairs were hard to find.Considering these difficultconditions, both the boardand Delaney seemed to becool, calm and collected asIreland continued his update.

“Our focus is Sept. 3,”Ireland said. “Getting readyfor the new school year.”According to Ireland, thereare challenges ahead tomake sure the grounds areready for the temporaryhousing for the students andto have a driveway for drop-off ready. “But, basically,we’re on schedule.”

Delaney assured theboard members that all pro-grams for the next school yearare in place and gave anupdate on new teachers hired.Challenges lie ahead in thebudget of the school year, asthe state budget was reducedby $184,000. Despite the cut-backs, Delaney has been ableto work with money from theRancho Santa Fe EducationFoundation and federal stim-ulus money to make endsmeet. “We’re on target,” sheassured the board. “We’re ingood shape.”

There are 715 studentsenrolled this year comparedto 757 last year,which reduces

budget requirements slightly,Delaney said. Concerns forthe future include increasingthe budget for maintenance.“We’ll have to build that up inyears to come,” Delaney said.“We will need a groundskeep-er for the new school.” Monies

have also been set aside totent the gymnasium for ter-mites at Thanksgiving time.

Tim and Catherine Foxand Susan Marr also attendedthe meeting. All are neigh-bors owning property next tothe school’s newly acquired

Dacus property and have con-cerns over its developmentand the impact it has concern-ing their residences.

The next school boardmeeting is scheduled forSept. 3, which is also the firstday of the new school year.

one-sided attacks on smokers.Why aren’t they after gas-guz-zling SUVs and factories andpower plants and pollutedoceans? Last I checked, ourair in Southern California isdirty. At least smoking a ciga-rette is more enjoyable than

breathing freeway fumes.I’m not an advocate of

smoking tobacco. It is indeeda filthy habit. What I’m con-cerned with is the erosion ofour right to indulge anddestroy our bodies on ourown volition. I don’t need ahealth board regulating whatI can and can’t do because myneighbor believes it to be bad

for me. And a smoker should-n’t feel guilty about having acigarette while waiting for atrain or digesting a greasebomb from the fair.

And speaking of which,why isn’t the same anti-smok-ing crowd whining about thefood their kids are eating atthe fair? Why aren’t theyconcerned with the mass con-

sumption of alcohol at thefair? I can hear their argu-ment now: there is no suchthing as second-hand intoxi-cation (too bad there isn’t).To which I respond with twowords: drunk driving.

Man, I get so worked up about this, I think I’ll step out back and have asmoke.

(2) In

July, the National Institutesof Health awarded $3 millionto the University of IllinoisChicago to identify thethings that cause lesbians todrink alcohol. It will be veryimportant, said researchdirector Tonda Hughes, tocompare why lesbians drinkwith why heterosexualwomen drink. (This is a dif-ferent NIH grant from theones reported in Odd Files inJune, to study why gay menin Argentina drink and whyprostitutes in China drink.)

borrowed grandpa’s VWcamper and had popped upthe top and folded out thebeds for a driveway camp-out. The kids were having a

ball climbing all over it andI caught them as they bothpeeked upside-down overthe edge of the upper bunk,grinning adorably. With twoempty spots in one frame, Idecided to pair the originalwith another one of the

same pose in the same VW,at ages 20 and 22. This timethere was a lot less giggling.

Can some physics or biol-ogy professor explain to mewhy it is harder to hang yourhead over a small ledge andgrin when you are 20, than itwas when you were 6? My sonlooked like an overripe toma-to after about 15 seconds butI think he was holding hisbreath, just to annoy me. Hissister, meanwhile, was laugh-ing hysterically at him turn-ing purple, so at least she wasgrinning.

My other ill-fated planwas to get new photos of theentire family. The entire fam-ily does not mean 25 extend-ed relatives. It only meansfour people. Finding a timewhen all four were availableand the light was rightrivaled any Hollywood celeb.We rescheduled twice. Butthe quirk that foiled my planin the end was that no onebut I saw this photo as a pri-ority. They would show up.

That’s all they could promise.I had to remind everyoneover and over and over. Thisphoto has to reflect the beau-ty and perfectness of our fam-ily for generations to come.My family refused to sharemy enthusiasm.

How do I know? Mydaughter dyed her hair andmy son buzzed his. They did-n’t realize this would kill thephoto, but I could tell theywere unrepentant. I have nowgiven them a royal, momedict that they have untilChristmas vacation to groweverything out to a lengthand color worth immortaliz-ing.

And just for conversa-tion’s sake, I might have men-tioned something about apresent-free Christmas morn-ing and possibly redoing mywill Jan. 1.

Javier Lopez and VictorLopez are each charged with asingle count of conspiracy tocommit murder in conjunc-tion with a criminal streetgang. Additionally, JavierLopez is also charged withmurder and attempted mur-der.

According to witness tes-timony at the preliminaryhearing, Barraza was also atthe park that evening; howev-er, he has not been chargedwith Balderas’ death.

Further, Barraza had alsobeen charged with one countof a felon in possession of afirearm after police found apicture of the murder weaponon his cell phone; however,Judge Richard Cline ruled theimage alone wasn’t enoughevidence to show Barraza hadactually possessed the gun.

Barraza was releasedfrom prison in 2007 after serv-ing two years in connectionwith a vehicle theft convic-tion.

Supporters of Barrazamaintain he has been workinghard since his prison releaseto change his life and put hisdays as a gang memberbehind him.

In February, Javier andVictor Lopez’s cousin sufferednonlife-threatening injuriesafter being shot outside ahouse party in the 2300 blockof Pio Pico Drive in Carlsbad.

and I chartered a bus from LaPaz to Cabo San Lucas. Ranchresident Michael Harbushkahad invited me to come downto Quivira, in Las Cabos SanLucas. We gladly accepted.The next morning he gave us apersonal tour on the site of thefuture Ritz Carlton Hotel andthe prestigious land develop-ment that has oceanfrontviews, with access to roomservice from the Ritz Carlton.The hotel is projected to befinished in 2011. This is JackNicklas’ signature golf course.Robin and I road behind Mr.Harbushka on ATVs across thedesert sand. Talk about a funcareer on a daily basis! We hada blast. He informed me thatthe name Quivira is based onthe legend of the lost goldcities of Mexico. I also metGabriela Barron, head of mar-keting at the Hotel Pacificaearlier that morning. For moreinformation, contact her [email protected] you are looking to invest insome property, this is worththe trip to Cabo.What you maynot know is the movie “Troy,”starring Brad Pitt, filmed itselaborate war scenes on thebeach on this very location. Isnapped a photo of Michaeland Robin together justbefore we headed out on our

Michael and Gabriela!On Aug. 18, after return-

ing to normalcy, I headed toMille Fleurs for my first nightback in town. I ran into someof my favorite locals, Karainand Tom Forysth, and Chef

Martin Woesle. I snapped ashot of Martin with Karian’sbeloved Belle in a candidmoment. This is one of myfavorite nights at Mille Fleurs:“Tapas Tuesdays.” You canorder a slider hamburger foronly $6 and many other won-derful appetizers on theirmenu. I also met Ranch resi-dents Connie and LarryArmijo.They sat next to us andwe all struck up a fun conver-sation. Guess what I discov-ered? Ms. Armijo was the pro-ducer of the last year’s GoldenGlobes! Talk about a localcelebrity. I was tickled pink tomeet some locals that used tolive in Hollywood. She sharedwith us some of her fun storiesand all of the clients (SharonStone to just name drop one,sorry I couldn’t resist) and howshe ended up in the Ranch.She also informed me that shehas her beautiful estate listedwith Ann Brizolis here in town.You can visit her Web site atwww.CasdeArmijo.com to seethis beautiful property that isnow on the market in theCovenant.Thanks to Larry andConnie for your fine conversa-tion and treating us to drinksat one of my favorite restau-rants in San Diego.

$19.95/set. OK, I’m sure I sawthese advertised at the backof a comic book in 1959, andI’ll ask the same question thatI did when I first saw them 50years ago: Are there reallywomen out there who arelooking to double the size oftheir derrières? If so, they canorder these pads, pop them intheir panties and createcurves instantly. The“reusable silicone adhesive”adapts to body temperatureand molds to the skin.The cat-alog doesn’t say exactly whatthey are made of, but theylook like synthetic foam. Thecatalog does promise, though,that these fanny falsies willstay put when dancing orexercising.

TThhee RReemmoottee CCoonnttrroolllleedd110000--FFoooott WWaatteerr CCaannnnoonn —$59.95. This clearly is a guy-thing — and the title prettymuch says it all. The cannonpart should be enough toappease any man-boy, but theremote makes it practicallyirresistible. I don’t want toskimp on details, though. Thecannon has three nozzles(spray, mist and stream), theremote works from a distanceof 30 feet (for sneak attacks,of course), and the barrel canbe raised and lowered. Thepleasure quotient of thisdevice may equal or surpassthe glorious pumpkin-launch-ing catapult.

MMaarrsshhmmaallllooww SShhooootteerr —$24.95. Same idea as above,but meant, perhaps, for themore gentle person who stilllikes to shoot things. Thispump-action device has arange of up to 30 feet, and the“easy-to-fill” magazine holds20 miniature marshmallows.But here’s the cool feature: anLED sight that projects abeam of red light (it’s safe,but don’t point at your locallaw enforcement officer) thatlocates your target andincreases accuracy. And …parts are dishwasher safe.Hmmm, I may have to consid-er bending my rule aboutnever ordering anything fromthe Sky Mall catalog.

Conserve waterI work for the water com-

pany. If you have an above-ground or family pool, see if

your water department offersa pool credit. We only ask forthe size of the pool in gallons,and the resident doesn’t paysewer fees on those gallons ofwater. Also, we have irrigationmeters.There are costs for theinitial setup for ours, as well asa state-required yearly test,but if you use a lot of water toirrigate your lawn, it certainlyhelps because the water run-ning through the second meteris not charged sewer fees. Lastbut not least, check for leaksperiodically. You can’t alwayssee or hear leaks.An easy wayto check for leaks in the toiletis to place a packet of Kool-Aid, Jell-O or food coloring inthe tank. Do not flush. Let it

set for 15 minutes, and if anycolor has settled into the toiletbowl, you have a leak and arewasting water. A cheap way tofind leaks is to read yourmeter right before going tobed. If no one has used anywater during the night, yourmeter reading should be theexact same in the morning.Check your consumption. Theaverage person consumes2,000 gallons of water permonth for all his or her needs(showering, flushing, dishes,clothes, etc.). So if you onlyhave two people in your homeand you are regularly consum-ing 20,000 gallons of water,there is a problem. — NicholeM., Iowa

“It’s not too hard for mebecause I have experiencewith rockets,” 10-year-oldAida Miller said, explainingthat he had taken a similarclass at the San Diego JewishAcademy.

ban “would eliminate anyambivalence and randommarijuana smoking.” Shesaid the approximately 85percent of Californians whodon’t smoke “don’t need tobe held hostage” by theminority who do.

“We think the time hascome,” Strang said. “Wehope you’ll join our list ofsmoke-free stars.”

Gena Knutson of theSan Diego Tobacco ControlCoalition said based on herobservations, ride operatorswere the biggest offenders.She said most did not go tothe designated smokingareas.

Libba Jackson-D’Ambrosi said a smoke-free

policy would “really create ahealthy environment.” Shesaid designated smokingareas are bad because theyintimate smoking is accept-able as an adult behavior.

“The message is, youcan go there when you’reolder,” she said. “It’s kind ofmystifying that we don’t domore when we see the harmof secondhand smoke.Please don’t help people killthemselves or promotesmoking to the younger gen-eration.”

Linda Zweig, media rep-resentative for the fair-grounds, said the board takesall public input seriously “tomake the fair better andmore family friendly.” Likeall comments, she said theboard would take the sugges-tions into consideration.

VVIIRRGGOO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Tryto be as tolerant and forgiving withyour family as you are with yourfriends. You can always count onyour loved ones when the chips aredown, regardless of the cost to them.

LLIIBBRRAA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Aslong as the time you allot for pleasur-able pursuits isn’t snatched fromyour work schedule, this could be apleasant day. Neglecting your dutiesfor pleasure could be another story.

SSCCOORRPPIIOO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) —Be extremely careful about baringyour sole to friends who are talka-tive, because what you say isn’t like-ly to stay with them. To be on thesafe side, keep private informationto yourself.

SSAAGGIITTTTAARRIIUUSS (Nov. 23-Dec.21) — A bright idea might not gainthe desired support or recognitionbecause you might tell someone whowill then try to steal it from you. Bemore careful.

CCAAPPRRIICCOORRNN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)— Respect the privacy of others, andyou won’t get in trouble. If you’recareless, you could unthinkinglyreveal something confidential tothose who will broadcast this infor-mation to the world.

AAQQUUAARRIIUUSS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —If you play games with a close friend,it could lead to disappointment inthe end. Each might attempt to out-

maneuver the other by using person-al and sensitive information.

PPIISSCCEESS (Feb. 20-March 20) —Showboating could cost you pointson the popularity scale, so be carefulnot to exaggerate your accomplish-ments to jealous types who can’twait to make you look like a phony.

AARRIIEESS (March 21-April 19) —Unfortunately, you could let the neg-ative thinking of an associate affectyour good spirits and spoil what oth-erwise would have been a happy day.Let positive thinking provide insula-tion.

TTAAUURRUUSS (April 20-May 20) —Substantial wisdom and shrewdnesson your part will be required inorder to protect a delicate financialarrangement from getting out ofhand. Stay on top of it, and give ityour best shot.

GGEEMMIINNII (May 21-June 20) —Be extremely careful not to let any-one rush you to judgment. However,should you fall prey, call a halt to itthe moment you realize the mistake,and begin mending fences as bestyou can.

CCAANNCCEERR (June 21-July 22) — Ifthere are rewards to be shared froma joint endeavor, make sure that thereturns are divided equally amongall participants. Better yet, get it inwriting; a verbal agreement may notsuffice.

LLEEOO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Watchout. You might knowingly spendmore than you should, hoping you’llmake up the shortage down the line.Don’t bank on funds that aren’t inthe bank.
