BY JOE TASHA judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the

Rancho Valencia Resort in connection with a lawsuit filed by a Fairbanks Ranch couple who contend the resort gener-ates too much noise from parties and other outdoor events.

The couple, Angel and Linda Mendez, filed a lawsuit against the resort in May. They allege that noise generated by resort events disturbs their peace and quiet, and has low-ered their property value. The back of the couple’s home on Avenida Las Perlas is about 300 feet from the resort’s proper-ty line.

In his Dec. 18 order, Superior Court Judge Timothy M. Casserly wrote that the Mendezes have “established a rea-sonable probability of success on the merits of their claims,” and granted them a preliminary injunction. The lawsuit sought an injunction prohibiting the resort “from emitting any noise from their premises sufficiently loud to disturb plaintiffs’ comfortable enjoyment” of their property.

“I am very thankful that the judge, after reviewing all of the evidence, ruled in our favor,” said Linda Mendez.

Mendez said she and her neighbors, who have also been disturbed by noise from the resort, are “thrilled.”

“We are just so relieved because nothing we ever did could get them to stop,” she said.

Officials from the resort did not respond to several mes-

signed 876 regular session bills this year, and vetoed 120 regular session bills. Following are some of the higher profile new laws that took effect in California on Jan. 1.

ONLINE PRIVACYCalifornia is making it

illegal for employers to de-mand access to employees’ social media accounts. Gov. Brown said the legisla-tion will protect residents from “unwarranted inva-sions.”

GAY RIGHTS Gov. Brown outlawed

gay conversion therapy practices on minors— ef-forts by therapists to con-vert minors’ sexual orienta-tion. However, the law has been delayed pending a fed-eral appeals trial.

EDUCATION To ease the often over-

whelming costs of higher education, select popular college textbooks are set to become available as free on-line downloads. More than 50 common textbooks for University of California, California State University and California Community College students should be posted in an online data-base by the start of the 2013-2014 school year.

IMMIGRATION Young undocumented

Californians will be eligible for driver’s licenses begin-ning next year if they quali-fy for a new federal work program. Gov. Brown’s signing of the law followed in the steps of President Obama’s decision to stop deporting young undocu-mented immigrants if they meet certain requirements, including if they are 30 years old or younger and came to the United States

BY KAREN BILLINGRobots have invaded R.

Roger Rowe School.The new robotics pro-

gram at Rowe and participa-tion in the First Lego League program has been a success thanks to teachers Dave Warner and John Galipault, a crew of invested young students, dedicated parent volunteers and support from the district administration.

“It was a great year,” said Warner, who along with Galipault went to Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute to learn about the program-ming and the NXT control-ler the robots use. “Like any-thing new it was difficult but rewarding.”

The students worked in-credibly hard for three months, meeting during lunch club at school as well as after school and even working on weekends trying to cram everything in for competitions. Parent coach-es Anna Lillian, Theresa and Paul Gauvreau, and Mark Nelson helped out the four

teams made up of fourth and fifth graders, a sixth grade team, a seventh grade team and an eighth grade team.

“My goal was to compete at the qualifying tournament and I hoped at lease one would advance to Legoland…we had two advance,” Warner said.

The two teams that advanced to the Legoland Championships on Dec. 2 were the sixth and seventh grade teams, who earned medals and a trophy.

An assembly was held at Rowe on Friday, Dec. 21, to honor the robotics teams and to see a presentation from a high school team from Coleman Tech Charter School.

Superintendent Lindy Delaney praised the students for being “frontrunners” and step-

ping up to make it a great inaugural year for the pro-gram.

She spoke about how when she first came to the school 28 years ago, she helped get a volleyball team started and it is a program today that her then-stu-dents’ children are now a part of. Delaney said she thinks robotics will be the same way thanks to this group of trailblazing stu-dents.

“Dave Warner and John Galipault are after that top spot and they’ve got a great young crew to do it,” Del-aney said at the Dec. 13 board meeting when she sung the program’s praises to the school board. “It will be interesting to watch it evolve.”

The robots may be made of legos but they’re more than just a toy. The ro-bots are motorized with sen-sors and the students pro-gram them to accomplish different tasks such as grab-

NEW LISTING

BY KAREN BILLINGHere are several RSF sto-

ries on our radar for 2013.The Inn at Rancho

Santa Fe Work to upgrade The

Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, while still maintaining its historical integrity and charm, has been ongoing since September. New owner JMI Realty expects that the major guts of the construc-tion work on the $12 mil-lion renovation project will begin at The Inn in January or February.

“We are most looking forward to revitalizing the historic Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in a comfortable, sophis-ticated, fashion and devel-oping an outstanding culi-nary program at the center of our community,” said Gordon MacMitchell, gener-al manager.

The big renovation work includes work on the lawn, The Inn’s lobby en-trance and new 3,000 spa, as well as refreshed guest rooms and a re-imagined restaurant with Chef Todd Allison at the helm.

The Inn’s layout of sep-arate buildings means that it won’t have to close for mul-tiple months for its renova-

RSF stories to watch in 2013tion and plans are to have it complete by summer 2013.

“The Inn will remain open throughout the process, and we invite you to visit us and watch as the transforma-tion comes to life,” MacMitchell said.

The Village By spring, it’s expected that the new commercial cen-

ter, Plaza de Acacias, will be complete. It will be the first new commercial/retail structure built in the village in sever-al years, but it has been designed to look like it’s always been there, in the Lilian Rice style.

The Rancho Santa Fe Association has been giving the village a lot of consideration at the committee-level, work-ing on ways to improve business for the village merchants and to better market the community as a whole.

One of the ideas to come out of the committees is a Farmers Market, which could come to El Tordo, between Avenida de Acacias and La Granada, on Saturday afternoons. It is the hope the market could bring some weekend activity to the village merchants in addition to being a fun gathering place with fresh produce and flowers for sale.

The Association still has to approve of the market be-fore it becomes a reality and some neighbors have expressed concerns about parking and the necessity. Look for it to be an item on an early 2013 RSF Association board agenda.

Round and round we go: RoundaboutsPlans for roundabouts on Paseo Delicias/ Del Dios High-

way have been spinning around Rancho Santa Fe for more than 10 years. A draft environmental impact report was last circulated in 2008 and the county this month released a re-vised document on the three proposed roundabouts that in-cludes minor design changes and a lighting study, as well as addressing the county’s new guidelines on greenhouse gases.

The three roundabouts would be located at the intersec-tions of Via de la Valle, El Montevideo and El Camino Del Norte.

Of the three, Via de la Valle would have the most local impacts. It would result in a realignment of Las Colinas, a cul-de-sac would be created on La Fremontia (currently a loop street) and the Village Church would lose a significant

portion of its parking lot.El Montevideo would

be the only four-way round-about while the other two would be three-way.

The DEIR (draft envi-ronmental impact report) will be open for review and public comment until Feb. 28.

The DEIR is available in hard copy form at the Ran-cho Santa Fe Library and on-line at sdcounty.ca.gov. Comments can be submit-ted by email to [email protected] or by mail to Gail Jurgella, 5510 Overland Avenue, Suite 410, Mail Stop O-385, San Diego, 92123.

San Dieguito Union High School District

It took some time for the district’s Prop AA bond on November’s ballot to fi-nally get the required 55 percent of the vote to pass but pass it did. According to Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associ-ate superintendent of busi-ness services, the district plans to draw $150 million of the bond monies in the spring of 2013 and kick off several local projects.

“Because of the design and approval work that needs to happen first, the most significant projects will not get off the ground until 2014 or later but we do have some projects that will start earlier,” Dill said.

Some of the highlights for next year’s work include the installation of artificial turf and rubberized track at Canyon Crest Academy, and Torrey Pines High will get new stadium lighting, fire road improvements and a water main replacement after the main broke earlier in 2012. The district will also begin the design pro-cess and approvals for im-provements and additions at CCA, TPHS, Carmel Valley Middle School and Earl Warren Middle School, as well as the new Pacific High-lands Ranch Middle School.

In 2013, Dill said they plan to purchase the new middle school site in PHR, next to Canyon Crest. They aim to start construction on the middle school in 2015.

Kelsey KafkaThe Torrey Pines High

School and North Coast Aquatics swimmer had an eventful 2011, when she be-came the Division 1 section champion in the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke and helped the team win a sec-tion title.

She skipped her junior year season in 2012 to focus on the Olympic Trials, which she took part in over the summer in Omaha.

Already committed to swim for USC on a partial scholarship in the fall, Kelsey is now taking aim at

helping TPHS to a fourth straight section title in the spring of 2013, defending her individual champion-ships and chasing down a 100-yard breaststroke record that has been on the books for years.

“My goals are to break the CIF record in the 100 breast (1:01.77), go a 2:12 in the 200 breast, and help the Torrey Pines girls win the CIF championship,” Kelsey said.

“She’s been working re-ally hard in the last six months, she’s a lot more fo-cused about her goals,” said Jeff Pease, her coach at North Coast.

Pease said Kelsey has built up “quite a repertoire” of races, such as the 400 in-dividual medley. He said that her butterfly stroke has

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

BY JOE TASHAt 11:59 a.m. on Jan. 7, the 20-

year tenure of County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price will come to an end.

“And at 12 o’clock straight up, if anyone says help me with this, I’ll say go speak to Supervisor Dave Roberts,” said Slater-Price.

Even though she’ll no longer be on the board, Slater-Price, 68, said she plans to continue to be involved in a number of local issues, including the goings on at county government.

Her advice to her successor, Rob-erts, a former Solana Beach City Councilman whom she en-dorsed over rival Steve Danon, is to listen to his constitu-ents.

“Listen to the people who put you in office,” she said. “If he starts going off the rails I’ll be down there at public comment to set him straight.”

Roberts will be the first new supervisor on the board in 18 years. He’ll also be the first Democrat to serve on the board since the mid-1990s, and the first openly gay mem-ber of the panel. In the future, the board will see more turnover due to term limits passed by county voters in 2010.

The five-member Board of Supervisors presides over an agency with a $4.8 billion annual budget and more than 15,000 employees. The county provides such services as law enforcement, health, parks and recreation, libraries and land use regulation in the county’s unincorporated areas.

Slater-Price, a former teacher, worked on the drive for cityhood for Encinitas, then served on the Encinitas City Council and as mayor before her successful run for county

supervisor in 1992.Among the actions she

is most proud of during her tenure on the county board was adoption of the Multi-Species Conservation Plan, which is designed to pre-serve animal and plant spe-cies by setting aside areas to be preserved for natural hab-itat.

Another issue “near and dear to my heart,” said Slat-er-Price, was improving the county’s animal shelters, and reforming many of its animal-related policies.

“I thought the county shelter was terrible, it was a kill shelter, a concentration camp for animals,” she said.

Slater-Price and other officials worked to obtain funding for a new central animal shelter in San Diego, and major renovations to the county animal shelter in Carlsbad, as well as upgrades to its shelter in Bonita.

Policies were changed to encourage adoption of animals, which has led to a much lower percentage of animals being euthanized,

she said. The county also ended its practice of selling animals for medical re-search.

“That’s kind of a mis-sion accomplished,” she said.

Not everything turned out as she had hoped. In this category, Slater-Price in-cluded the update of the county’s general plan, a blueprint for future develop-ment of the county’s unin-corporated areas. The super-visors approved the updated plan in 2011, 13 years after the project was initiated.

Slater-Price said she would have liked to see the plan remain more true to its original outline, rather than being changed to accommo-date the concerns of individ-ual land owners who didn’t like the way their property was designated. Many of those decisions came on 3-2 votes of the board, she said.

“I was sorry to see it carved away and changed,” she said.

Once she steps down from the board, she’ll have

plenty to keep her busy.Among them will be working with the San Dieguito Riv-

er Park Joint Powers Authority to ensure that the Del Mar Fairgrounds follows through with promises it made to settle an environmental lawsuit, and working on a volunteer board to raise money for renovations to the downtown San Diego Civic Theater.

Slater-Price, who lives in Del Mar with her husband, Hershell, also plans to keep fighting the proposed Gregory Canyon landfill in North County.

“I’ve been fighting that now for 20 years and I won’t give up until I know it’s definitely not going to be built,” she said.

RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said authorities are still investigating the home invasion crime that occurred Dec. 20 when two men tied up a caregiver/housekeeper and robbed a Rancho Santa Fe home in the 5000 block of El Mir-lo. No arrests have been made as of presstime.

Wellhouser reminds residents to take safety precautions such as locking doors and windows, turning on alarms, and paying attention to those who drive in and out of gates.

The suspects have been described as follows:Suspect #1: White male adult, 25-30 years of age, tall,

with long blond hairSuspect #2: White male adult, 25-30 years of age, short-

er, with a baseball capIf anyone has information on the case, call (760) 966-

Happy Holidays!

BY CLAIRE HARLINLocal women may have attended her reformer pilates

classes at Solana Beach’s BodyROK Studios, or area residents might have met her at Delicias Restaurant in Rancho Santa Fe, where she bartends several nights a week. But her local following is nothing compared to the thousands worldwide who visit her health and fi tness blog, “The Skinny Confi den-tial,” each day.

Local native Lauryn Evarts is 26 years old and in one year has amassed a readership that many seasoned authors and publishers would be envious of. She gets some 35,000 page views a day and is ranked at the top of the fi tness cat-egory on the site www.bloglovin.com, which keeps a registry of all the world’s most popular blogs.

A 2005 alumna of Torrey Pines High School, Evarts got the idea to blog about health and fi tness while studying broadcasting at San Diego State University.

“I would get lunch at school and couldn’t believe how horrendous the options were,” said Evarts, who has modeled for several brands and publications, including Rusty Swim-wear and Maxim magazine. “With 40,000 students and tons of sorority girls at SDSU, I was thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if you could go online and modify each restaurant’s offer-ings to make them healthy?’”

Evarts decided to start doing the research herself. She gathered carbohydrate and calorie counts on all the fast food offerings on campus and started making up her own meals. She removed the bread from a breakfast sandwich at Starbucks, for instance, and she used hummus as salad dress-ing at Daphne’s California Greek. When she graduated, she embarked on earning her nutrition license, and was poised to get her blog up and running.

“At fi rst I just wanted to start a blog on modifi cations and substitutions,” said Evarts. “But it turned into being about so many things — lifestyle, balancing health and re-lationships, working out, eating. There are only so many hours in the day and to do everything and manage health is hard, so I am just trying to make things easier.”

What has really propelled Evarts’ popularity is her sense of humor, which is dry and sometimes even racy, she said.

“I just talk to readers like they are my girlfriends and I’ll

Lauryn Evarts

talk about anything,” she said. One of her most popular posts, for example, was about

having a healthy hangover. In it, she urged people just to drink water and pull their [expletive] out of bed and get to the gym, even if it’s for 30 minutes.

“I try to present topics in a funny, approachable way,” she said.

The most interesting part of blogging, which has nearly become a full-time job for Evarts, is reaching out to people from all over the world.

“I am talking to girls in Sweden and Australia. I am talk-ing to girls in Hong Kong — one girl didn’t even have ac-cess there to cucumbers,” she said. “We all live in different places, but at the end of the day, people are concerned about the same things. At the end of the day, all everyone wants

is happiness.”Evarts spends much of her time on social media and

reaching out to big brands that will help connect her with the world.

“Companies have liked my blog and they help me pro-mote it,” she said, adding that sponsorships and partner-ship, as well as advertising, has made the blog profi table. “I’m very close to making this my full-time job, and I hope it will eventually be my career.”

Another thing that has made her successful is the sur-prisingly low number of fi tness bloggers, she said.

“There are so many fashion bloggers out there, and you’d think there would be a lot of health and fi tness blog-gers, but there aren’t,” she said.

Next month, Evarts will be launching a YouTube Chan-nel featuring tutorial and tips, and she said she would even-tually like to publish both a recipe and fi tness book. She also dreams of having her own TV show, and starting a delivery service for healthy foods, similar to Jenny Craig, but geared toward young women in their 20s and even teenage years.

“I talk to girls through the blog who are 15 years old and struggling with weight,” said Evarts. “That’s tough for girls who aren’t on their own and buying their own food.”

Evarts’ own fi tness crusade began early in life, simply from growing up in a health-conscious family and health-conscious city. She was introduced to working out when her godmother invited her to a spin class, and she later fell in love with Pure Barre, a dance-inspired aerobic workout. Now, she says she’s “obsessed” with reformer pilates.

But Evarts says that working out is not just about her body — it’s also about how she feels. And when it comes to blogging, Evarts gets the most satisfaction out of helping her readers.

“I return every email I get, and I get 150 a day some-times,” she said, adding that she recently received an email from a girl who said she lost 25 pounds by reading “The Skinny Confi dential.”

“A lot of people are just not educated about health and it’s not their fault, so I just want to help.”

RSF Attack announces tryouts for U7-U9 players

Dr. Gordon H. Hanson, economics professor at UCSD, will speak at the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund General Meeting on Feb. 4, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Guests are always welcome.

The front page of the New York Times this Sunday highlights one of the biggest economic issues our nation faces, higher education for all so-cioeconomic classes. At the moment, only 65 percent of our nation’s children are graduating from high school. Only 40 percent finish col-lege. In our current economic climate, the women of the RSF Women’s Fund share a desire to understand and gain insight on the pivotal con-cerns that are affecting our nation.

Dr. Gordon Hansen is prepared to discuss six of the economic issues that San Diego County, and the United States, now face. Immigration will be discussed.

People immigrating to San Diego come to fill two types of jobs, the highly skilled engi-neer, physician or biologist filling the open positions at many of the high tech and biotech firms in the area and the low-skilled laborer who performs a majority of the backbreaking la-bor in the local construction, field work and fast food industries. Dr. Hanson will share with us the impact these new residents have on our economy.

Dr. Hanson will also discuss the current government debt and how it affects our econo-my as well as the potential tax treatment changes for contributions to non-profits. He will wrap up the discussion with suggestions on the areas where philanthropists should increase their funding.

Dr. Hanson is bright and personable. He is a professor of economics in the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies and the Department of Economics at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Dr. Hanson is also a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and coeditor of the Journal of Development Eco-nomics.

Before joining UCSD, Dr. Hanson served on the faculties of the University of Michigan and the University of Texas. He is the author of over 50 academic research publications on the economic consequences of immigration, international trade and investment, and other aspects of globalization.

He is also the author of Why Does Immigration Divide America? Public Finance and Po-litical Opposition to Open Borders (2005) and Immigration Policy and the Welfare System (Oxford University Press, 2002).

Dr. Hanson will touch on each of the topics listed above, leaving plenty of time for questions and further discussion. Please bring a guest to share in this timely, informative and highly educational morning. The presentation will begin at 9:30 a.m. sharp at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on Feb. 4.

The mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund is to educate, inspire and increase the number of women committed to philanthropy in order to strengthen the community and impact lives through informed, focused, collective giving.

“It was a challenge to figure out what worked and what didn’t work,” said eighth grader Greg Fernan-dez. “My robot could lift a lot of stuff and went really fast.”

In a video of the com-petition, the students look excited and engaged—they jumped up and down as they watched their robots successfully compete a task and winced if something didn’t go as planned.

The FLL’s approach is more than just building a functioning robot. Students must take on a research project—this year’s theme was seniors. The teams visit-ed the Rancho Santa Fe Se-nior Center to learn about issues that seniors face and

then set to work creating a project that would provide a solution. One team created a pair of glasses for seniors who suffer from macular de-generation (vision issues)—the glasses had a sensor that would go off when the se-niors got too close to a par-ticular object. The glasses even came programmed with an emergency button.

There is also a signifi-cant focus on core values and teamwork. The students must reflect and give a pre-sentation on how they worked together. The stu-dents expressed their views on a project board: “After joining FLL, I’ve learned to work better with people,” wrote Aaron Lustig.

“It was more about bonding with friends and learning about seniors’ prob-lems than it was about win-ning and getting first place,” wrote Alex Lillian.

tion. The goal of the lecture series is to inform, inspire and impact by providing a forum in which individuals, renown in their field, share their knowledge, wisdom and experience with members of our community.

Zamperini’s life was literally one in the record books by the time he became a bombar-dier during World War II. In high school, he set the world high school record for the mile. During the 1936 Olympics and also at the University of Southern California he continued to set records. But what really made his life remarkable is what he endured in World War II.

On a routine mission, his aircraft crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Zamperini and other crew members survived in a life raft for 47 days, unknowingly drifting into Japanese-con-trolled waters. They were rescued by the Japanese but then placed into Japanese prison camps. It was here that Zamperini encountered a guard who tried for two years to break his spirit with verbal and physical cruelty, but the strong spirit that had been his trademark throughout his life enabled him to outlast the guard.

Following the war, he returned to live in Southern California but eventually went back to Japan to forgive the very guards who had tormented him.

In 1998, the Olympic Winter Games were held in Nagano, Japan, just outside the town where Louis Zamperini had been held captive. The people of Nagano asked him to carry the Olympic flame as part of the torch relay, and a 45-minute feature about his life was aired during the telecast of the Closing Ceremony.

Today, at 95 years of age, Louis Zamperini is still spry and full of life, lecturing throughout the country on his experience.

Fifth grade students at R. Roger Rowe School re-cently celebrated their pub-lished writing pieces with parents, teachers and friends. The Performing Arts Center was filled with chat-tering students reading their nonfiction picture books that they had been perfect-ing for publication over the past few weeks.

Thanks to the district’s Five Star Education founda-tion, students are taught key writing and language skills from teachers who have trained with the Columbia University Reading and Writing program. One-hun-dred percent of K-8 class-room teachers have been trained in the model, either through institutes at Colum-bia University, homegrown institutes or on-site profes-sional development con-ducted by Columbia staff.

The message of Christmas rings through loud and clear at Horizon Prep in its annual 1st - 8th grade Christmas mu-sical “What Child is This?” Students donned the traditional characters of Christmas found around the manger scene — “Angels, Shepherds, and Wisemen” — with a modern twist of a group of middle schoolers whisked back in time. From handbell choirs to glockenspiels to a live band, the songs of Christmas delighted the standing-room-only audience.

“There is no question about the true meaning of Christ-mas at Horizon Prep,” says Horizon Prep Middle School Vice Principal Dr. Jeffery Pratt, “the birth of Jesus brings salvation to the world!”

The new and im-proved at Flower Hill Promenade and Del Mar Highlands

Carmel Valley-area re-tail centers have undergone

major facelifts and the new amenities keep on coming. Already people can enjoy the smell of cupcakes waft-ing out of the new Towne Bakery at Del Mar Highlands Town Center or grab a mas-sive burrito lunch at Flower Hill Promenade’s new Chi-potle or get the little one’s hair snipped at Pigtails & Crewcuts, but more changes lie ahead.

Some were sad to see longtime spots like Chevy’s and Red Robin depart, but the center owners hope that their replacements will be well received.

In Red Robin’s place at Del Mar Highlands, a new Mexican eatery called Casa Sol y Mar is coming in spring of 2013. The restau-rant will come courtesy of

the Bazaar Del Mundo Res-taurant Group, which owns Casa Guadalajara in Old Town and Casa de Bandini in Carlsbad.

The new Whole Foods at Flower Hill is expected to open in January. And after Chevy’s closed, plans were announced to replace the restaurant with Cucina Enoteca, a concept from San Diego’s Cucina Urbana, featuring the same modern kitchen meets historic farmhouse concept with a wine shop.

Burger Lounge is also coming to Flower Hill. The restaurant, with other loca-tions in Hillcrest, La Jolla and the Gaslamp, features premium grass fed burgers and a quality menu that appeals to “health con-scious diners, vegetarians and salad lovers.”

BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTORPreventing falls is one of the most challenging issues we face as

we age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control:

•More than one-third of adults, age 65 years and older, fall each year.

•Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths and the most common cause of injuries and hospital admissions for trauma.

•Older adults are hospitalized for fall-related injuries five times more often than they are for injuries from other causes.

•Of those who fall, 20 to 30 percent suffer moderate to severe in-juries that reduce mobility and independence, and increase the risk of premature death.

On Friday, Jan. 11, from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m., the Senior Center is offering free individual balance screenings by licensed physical therapist, Jim Prussack. Following the personal bal-ance screening test, participants will be given specific recommendations to improve balance and reduce the risk of falling. Please call the Senior Center at (858) 756-3041 to schedule your appointment.

Senior Center Resource and Referral ProgramThe array of service providers offering assistance to seniors can be overwhelming and

confusing. The Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center is pleased to offer free senior resource information

and referrals on an ongoing basis to seniors and their family members. Senior Center staff is

BY KATHY DAYSometimes a little networking goes a

long way. Take a lunch meeting between Janet

Lawless Christ of Coldwell Banker Previews International and Joe Allis, owner of Porshe of San Diego. Just a day after their get-to-know-you meal at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe she reached out to him to help three ac-tive duty service members.

Last spring she was watching NBC Eve-ning News with Brian Williams’ Friday “Making A Difference” segment. It featured a program called Archi’s Acres, which helps vets transition into civilian life by teaching them about organic farming through their Veterans Sustainable Agriculture Program (VSAT).

Colin and Karen Archipley founded the program in 2007 on their farm in the hills above Escondido while he was still an active duty Marine Corps rifleman. Where a run-down avocado grove sat when they bought the farm, they now grow basil, kale, avoca-dos and other produce for local markets while teaching others a skill for their future. It was their vision to assist vets that caught Christ’s ear.

“When I heard it was in Escondido, I nearly fell off my chair,” she said. “I called them on Monday morning and was stunned that someone — Karen — an-swered the phone.”

After talking to Karen Archipley, she drove up to the farm.

“My site visit was overwhelming,” the longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident said. While Christ was there she learned that ser-vice members cannot use the GI Bill to cov-er VSAT’s $4,500 tuition. Many require as-sistance for the program’s 270 hours of training, which includes job readiness in-struction.

After her visit, Christ pledged to help in whatever way she could. In October, she learned about three of the students whose scholarships had fallen through due to

some red tape.“They were nearly through the pro-

gram but would not have been able to grad-uate or get their certification,” she said. “In a different place and time I would have written the check myself.”

But since she couldn’t afford the $13,500, she began calling her philanthrop-ic friends but didn’t have much luck. And then she had a thought.

She had “a nice lunch” with Allis on Oct. 25 and figured it was worth a try to reach out to him. The next day, she thought about calling him, but texted him instead with a message if he wasn’t on a plane to call her.

Allis, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who is the proprietor of the Miramar Road Porsche dealership, is a recently transplanted New Yorker whose family has yet to join him here. So trips back are a regular part of his routine. (In fact, he was heading East for Christmas and then back to San Diego, only to return to New York for New Year’s cele-brations.)

Although he wasn’t on the plane when Christ texted, he was at the airport – head-ing home the same weekend as Super Storm Sandy approached. He texted back to call him.

“I gave him the fastest description and asked if he could match my funds,” she said.

Talking on Dec. 21 about that day, he said told her “I wanted to be part of it. I didn’t care how much it cost. I just told her to tell me the scope and I’ll get right on it.”

The following Monday as she was meeting with her managing broker “and throwing myself on him” in hopes that he would contribute, she noticed Allis was call-ing.

“He said, ‘OK , we’re in. We’re all in,’” Christ said, recalling that she figured he would give $1,000.

Instead, Allis had talked to his partners, George Athan of Audi San Diego and Jason

RSF residents join forces to help provide veterans scholarships for Archi’s Acres program

Puga of Land Rover San Diego, and they came up with the full $13,500.

But it wasn’t until a reception honoring the grads and the donors on Dec. 11 where Allis had a chance to meet Catherine Llanas, Matt Figurski and Steve Brown – the VSAT grads they had helped – that he really learned about Archi’s Acres.

“It’s just amazing,” Allis said, talking enthusiastically about the effort to engage the vets in the sustainable agricul-ture program. “I so much want to get involved. There’s al-most not enough circuitry in my brain not to.”

But beyond giving scholarships, he added, he and his partners are explor-ing ways to bring their en-trepreneurial background to the table.

Logisitics, distribution and supply chains along with profit-and-loss state-ments and marketing are all part of the car business, he said. “That’s background they don’t have and it’s all that the three of us do.”

Just how they’ll be in-volved has yet to be deter-mined. They may form a board but Allis said they want to be hands on, too.

“If I can curtail their losses, especially for these guys and gals who have giv-en so much for their coun-try, I want to do what I can,” he added.

Christ, who has sup-ported a number of local causes and is heavily in-volved in the Rancho Santa Fe community, said she’s never directly supported a veterans’ cause in the past, although when she was part of the RSF Women’s Fund they backed efforts for the military.

“I can’t believe we’ve been at war for 10 years,” she said. “I can’t believe these are all volunteers who have been fighting for me.”

Now, she added, she’s found a way to give back and plans to do more for Ar-chi’s Acres.

Grauer School hosts film screening of Sundance Film Festival documentary ‘Miss Representation’

The Grauer School will host the film screening and post-film discussion of “Miss Representation” on Thursday, Jan. 17, at 6 p.m. in the Great Hall on the school campus located at 1500 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas.

Writtten and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the 90-minute inspiring documentary priemered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and reveals how all forms of media (television, feature films and the internet) contribute to the under-representation of women in American leadership po-sitions and an over-emphasis on youth and beauty.

Stories from teenage girls and compelling interviews with Condolezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, and Katic Couric, among many others, disclose startling statistics that chal-lenges the media’s misleading portrayals of women and girls. The film (which aired on the Oprah Winfrey network in October 2011) imparts the message that in an ever-in-creasing media-driven world, teenage girls are being tempt-ed to adopt a biased perspective, one which undermines their intellegence and substantive accomplishments. This phenomena may lead to barriers for women who aspire to achieve leadership positions and instead, trivializes the role of women in general.

The Grauer Film Series event is free and open to the public; the film is appropriate for children age 13 and older. For details, visit http://www.missrepresentation.org/the-film/, or email Sally Grauer regarding questions, [email protected], or call 760-944-6777.

We have called on some of our musician friends to come out and join us to raise money for the Red Cross’ efforts and it’s shaping up to be a great evening.”

Slated to appear are Jesse Valenzuela of the Gin Blossoms, Eve Selis, Keith Scott (guitar-ist for Bryan Adams) and bassist Ron Blair from the Heartbreakers will be joining the band

General admission tickets are on sale now for $25. Tickets purchased at the door will be $27 with a few preferred seats available for $40. One hundred percent of the proceeds will donated to the Red Cross.

His father and nature inspire former lifeguard’s first book

Sebastian Slovin

A deep connection to nature and the desire to give a loving tribute to his father led local resident Sebastian Slovin to write and publish a picture book, “The Adven-tures of Enu: The Tale of the Giant Whale.” Created in collaboration with Blaze Syka, who designed the vi-brant pen-and-ink illustra-tions, the work is a modern-day fable.

Combining poetic lan-guage with a simple story line, the book tells of a young boy’s adventure as he meets Enu, a shape changer, who appears in several forms from a hummingbird to a whale, and how he teaches the boy that every-thing in nature is connect-ed. The book has an appeal to readers of all ages and teaches others to “live in the moment,” said Slovin, whose yoga business spreads that same message.

This is Slovin’s first en-deavor in publishing. The idea for the book’s message percolated in his imagina-tion for many years. It is

based on a story that was told to him by his father who passed away, under tragic circumstances, when Slovin was 6 years old. His father was also the inspira-tion for the main character in the book. “A lot of my re-ally good memories of my dad are being out on the ocean or in nature with him,” Slovin explained.

A South African native, who lived in La Jolla, his fa-ther was an athletic swim-mer and after he died the family spread his ashes in the ocean at La Jolla Cove.

“From that time on I looked at nature as part of my family,” said Slovin, who grew up part-time in Austra-lia and South Africa, but mostly in La Jolla. Slovin and his younger sister were raised solely by his mother. “She was a single parent fol-lowing a really bad situation but she raised us very well. She is my hero,” he said.

As a teen Slovin discov-ered yoga to aid his flexibili-ty for improved competitive surfing. He also discovered the philosophical and men-tal aspects of yoga which to-day he weaves into the ac-tivities he offers through his business, Nature Unplugged. These are guided adventures that allow his clients to ex-perience the richness of the natural world.

“I’m interested in en-couraging people to find a spiritual connection in

whatever they are doing, whether it’s walking or surf-ing, biking or yoga. You don’t have to go somewhere far away to have a big ad-venture,” said Slovin.

Slovin has traveled ex-tensively and surfed com-

petitively around the world, but three years ago he sustained a debilitating hip injury that prevented him from doing any rigorous sports.

“I found myself hanging out in San Dieguito Park in So-lana Beach and that’s where the idea for the book all came together. I was forced to just sit, so the park became my in-spiration.”

Both Syka and Slovin are former Del Mar lifeguards. “That’s where we met and connected. He’s a wonderful-

ly talented artist. It was a natural collaboration. I’d sketch out my ideas and he perfected them,” said Slovin. Syka is a recent graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and now re-sides in Morro Bay.

A book launch party was held in Del Mar on Dec. 21 attended by Del Mar lifeguards. Slovin plans to speak at lo-cal schools and to local organizations to spread his message of respecting and embracing nature.

sages requesting comment as of press-time. An attor-ney who is representing the resort in the lawsuit, Dennis Crovella, declined to com-ment.

Mendez said that in the past, she has called the Sher-iff’s Department and com-plained about the noise, but was told deputies could not take action unless she had a court order. Now that a pre-liminary injunction has been granted, she believes deputies will have the legal authority to shut down a noisy event.

In their lawsuit and in interviews, the Mendezes contend that the resort is vi-olating both county noise ordinances and the resort’s major use permit. The cou-ple has also submitted a dec-laration by an acoustics ex-pert, who said he had con-ducted several sound tests on their property and deter-mined that noise generated by the resort exceeded legal limits.

In her own declaration for the court, Mendez de-tailed a number of events held at the resort in Septem-ber and October that she claims generated excessive noise. At one event, a fund-

raiser held on Oct. 13, the band Boys II Men per-formed.

“This musical group was extremely loud and I could clearly hear them from my property,” said Mendez’ declaration.

The couple also submit-ted declarations from two neighbors, Bruce Bartlett and Rick Heymann, who said that noise from the re-sort has also disturbed them.

“The noise generated from the resort is so loud that it is like my wife and I live next to a party house, frat house, rock and roll concert venue, auction house, or outdoor reception hall,” said Heymann in his declaration.

In an interview for a previous article, Doug Carl-son, managing partner for the resort, acknowledged re-ceiving noise complaints from neighbors, and said the resort was taking steps to reduce noise coming from its property.

Those measures includ-ed hiring an engineering firm to design a sound sys-tem that wouldn’t disturb neighbors.

But Mendez said those efforts apparently haven’t worked, based on the noise she and her family have heard in recent months.

The resort opened in

1989 and was purchased in 2010 by a group led by Jeff and Hal Jacobs, former high-tech executives, and general partners Doug Carlson and Jeffrey Essakow. The resort recently re-opened after un-dergoing a $30 million reno-vation.

A trial on the lawsuit, when the Mendezes will seek a permanent injunction along with monetary dam-ages, is set for next summer.

LAWSUITcontinued from page 1

by the age of 16. HEALTH For parents who decide

not to have their children vaccinated, they’ll need a signed waiver from a doctor verifying that they were warned of risks and benefits associated with opting out of vaccinations before regis-tering their children for school.

HOUSING Homeowners on the

brink of losing their homes gained stronger protections, with state legislators ban-ning banks from practicing “dual tracking”—renegotiat-ing mortgage payments with struggling homeowners while simultaneously pursu-

ing foreclosure against the homeowner.

PARTY BUSESCalifornia will hold par-

ty bus operators to the same standards as limousine driv-ers, making them legally re-sponsible for drinking by underage passengers. The law is named for Brett Stude-baker, a 19-year-old from San Mateo who died in 2010 after drinking on a party bus and crashing his own vehi-cle while driving home later.

PRISONS Juveniles sentenced to

lifetime prison stints in Cali-fornia have a chance of re-lease after serving 25 years if they show remorse and spend time in rehabilitation programs. Supporters of the bill argued that the U.S. is the only country in the world that sentences teenag-ers to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

GUN RIGHTS A new bill outlaws

openly carrying shotguns and rifles on the streets and in the malls of California cities. A similar law last year banned the open carrying of handguns. The new bill does not apply to hunters, law enforcement personnel and others with specified licens-es.

CHILD ABUSE RE-PORTING

California coaches and administrators in K-12 schools, as well as higher ed-ucation employees who have regular contact with children, will be required to report suspected child sexual abuse.

BROKEN PARKING METERS

SB 1388 allows motor-ists to park at broken meters (up to the posted time limit) without fear of getting a ticket unless the local juris-diction provides visible and adequate notice of any pro-hibitions at parking loca-tions.

ELECTRONIC DEVIC-ES

AB 1536 clarifies exist-ing law by allowing drivers to dictate, send, or listen to text-based communications while driving as long as they do so using technology spe-cifically designed and con-figured to allow fully voice-operated, hands-free opera-tion. Drivers under age 18 are still prohibited from us-ing any electronic device while driving.

LICENSE PLATESAB 2489 prohibits a per-

son from operating a vehicle with a product or device

that obscures -- or is intend-ed to obscure -- the reading or recognition of a license plate by sight or use of an electronic device (like a toll or red-light camera). The new law also prohibits a per-son from erasing, painting over, or altering a license plate to avoid visual or elec-tronic capture of the license plate or its characters.

EXPRESS LANESAB 2405 exempts vehi-

cles with special state-issued green and white stickers (all electric, natural gas, and “plug-in” hybrid cars) from toll charges that single-occu-pant vehicles pay to access express or HOT (high occu-pancy toll) lanes.

Education Matters/OpinionA correction and a call for compromise

BY MARSHA SUTTON

M y Dec. 20, 2012 col-umn titled “Twenty d e a d children have to matter” – about the Newtown tragedy and the renewed debate over gun control – elicited reac-tions across the spectrum that reminded me how far apart we are in our views on the proliferation of guns.

Yet I also found reasons to be hopeful. Everyone with-out exception wants kids to be safe at school. And almost everyone who wrote in agreed that sensible gun laws consistent from state to state (depending upon one’s defi-nition of “sensible”) need to be combined with better and faster treatment of the men-tally ill.

Violent movies and vid-eo games are also contribut-ing factors, and most said ways to protect schoolchil-dren should be considered.

Clearly, several ap-proaches are required. Gun control alone won’t do it. Ac-tually, nothing will do it completely, and that’s a fact. But steps can be taken to re-duce these horrific shootings, and we can make progress if we stop thinking they can be eliminated altogether.

Thanks to knowledge-able readers who clearly know a great deal more about guns than I do, I learned that gun laws in California have been tightened since I last visited the local gun show (which admittedly was a while ago and I’m still trau-matized by the memory).

In my column, I wrote that it was easy to buy guns of all sorts at gun shows, “im-mediately, with little if any waiting period.”

Actually, there is a 10-day waiting period, even for gun show purchases, which must be made through a li-censed dealer, according to the Calif. Dept. of Justice Of-fice of the Attorney General.

However, gun shows are still frightening exhibitions of killing machines, no mat-ter how long buyers have to wait to receive their weapons.

And rules are not so stringent in other states. Ac-cording to the Campaign to Close the Gun Show Loop-hole, about 40 percent of the 5,000 gun shows across the country each year allow unli-censed sellers to sell guns without conducting a back-ground check: “Although 17 states have taken action to partially or completely close this loophole, 33 states have not.”

So the overarching point of my previous column, that guns are far too easy to ac-cess, stands.

Some would repeal the Second Amendment. Others say all guns and all kinds of ammunition should be legal. Two extremes. Is there no place to come together in the middle and reach compro-mise? Most certainly.

Despite what some have charged, gun control support-ers are not trying to “punish” citizens by taking away their constitutionally guaranteed rights. In fact, even many gun advocates support more responsible ownership and believe there are reasonable limits that should be placed on the right to own firearms, given how this right has been abused by criminals.

Gun owners are general-ly law-abiding citizens who also want, obviously, these murderous rampages to stop. After all, shootings give gun owners a bad name. So we are in agreement on that for cer-tain. This, at least, is a place to start.

In the world of public education and union/man-agement negotiations, this sounds very much like inter-est-based bargaining, when both sides identify areas of common interest instead of first putting forth each side’s polarizing positions.

We agree for the need to treat violent, mentally unsta-ble youth, uncover the causes of this condition, and pre-vent them from taking out their internal rage on inno-cent citizens.

And many on both sides believe that protecting schoolchildren from future tragedies may mean locked gates, bullet-proof windows, electronic lockdown mecha-nisms, metal detectors and backpack checks.

But none of this will help until we acknowledge that our country’s obsession with guns and firepower, easy access, and lack of proper training for novices, have contributed mightily to the rise in random mass killings of innocent citizens.

Guns are clearly a part of the problem. How big a part of the problem is the primary point of disagreement. And that’s positive because it means there’s room for dia-logue.

In several exchanges with gun owners, who were initially angry with me for advocating tighter gun con-trol, it was encouraging to find some agreement.

One writer said Califor-nia’s gun laws are sensible and have had an impact on gun safety and gun violence. “There are states with no waiting period and no maga-zine size regulations,” he wrote. “All states need to be brought up to a uniform stan-dard, and that standard should be something similar to California law.”

Another gun owner, after

Marsha Sutton

listing many reasons why gun control proposals are unwork-able and when applied haven’t really had an impact, wrote, “I am in favor of man-datory firearm training for citizens who wish to purchase a gun, along with back-ground checks at every pipe-line a gun can be acquired.” He also objected to “the piecemeal, individual state re-quirements which are confus-ing, cumbersome, and pro-mote illegal activity to cir-cumvent certain states’ laws.”

Polarizing positionsOne lawyer weighed in

on the issue from a constitu-tional perspective, referring the first line of the Second Amendment: “A well-regulat-ed militia being necessary to the security of a free state...”

“The founders were not concerned so much about an individual’s right to a private arsenal, as an individual’s re-sponsibility to participate in collective national defense, should the government fail in that defense,” he said, offer-ing an interesting interpreta-tion on intent.

“It is notable but little-known that the founders con-sidered putting into the Con-stitution, right next to the Second Amendment, a relat-ed amendment which would have given individuals the right not to bear arms – that is, to be conscientious objec-tors, pacifists. This, obviously, is not in the Constitution, but its consideration does shed light on how the fram-ers were thinking.”

A national conversation about the intent of the Sec-ond Amendment is impor-tant but will be unproductive if we all settle comfortably into our polarized positions and refuse to listen to one an-other.

With mass media, every-one can find someone out there who agrees with their views, and it feels good to have our positions validated in this way. But the more we are told we are right, the less inclined we are to open our minds to the ideas of others.

It’s of little value to be-come locked into intransi-gence, surrounded by those who think alike. This has contributed to the decline in civil dialogue, a tremendous barrier to progress.

This applies not just to gun control but to stubborn inflexibility on everything from private property rights up to the national fiscal cliff debate.

We have to give up get-ting our way 100 percent of the time. And respectful dis-agreement that challenges us to think outside the familiar is integral to accomplishing anything constructive.

I still don’t understand why citizens should have the right to own military-style as-sault weapons or armor-pierc-

ing bullets, or why some consider it fun to hunt and shoot ani-mals.

But I do respect the right of lawful citizens to buy guns, as long as they respect the need to be responsible gun owners. And nearly all of them do.

In the wake of Newtown, we must work together on sever-al fronts at once: sensible gun control laws at the federal level, better mental health treatment, ending the glorification of vio-lence in the media, creating safer schools to protect against senseless attacks, and greater awareness of the compassion and love we all share for America’s children.

And keeping compromise and respect a fundamental part of any discussion.

BY ANDREA KRAKOWER, SCRIPPS HEALTHLose weight. Quit smoking. Spend an hour at the gym

every day. Find a new job. Resolutions like these are just a few of the thousands being made across the country as 2013 rolls in. While they’re made with the best of intentions, many of them fall by the wayside within months or even weeks of New Year’s Day.

There are a number of reasons why many people find it so difficult to stick to New Year’s Resolutions. Here are some of the most common obstacles, and tips to overcome them.

Setting unrealistic expectations. You may truly want to spend an hour a day at the gym, but if you barely have time to take the kids to school, go to work, make dinner and tuck everyone in, finding that extra hour every day may be nearly impossible. Instead, set more realistic goals that are easier to achieve. Maybe you can purchase workout equip-ment to use at home while the kids do homework or after they go to bed. Perhaps you could fit in several shorter workouts during the day between your other responsibili-ties. Make a list of all possible options, and you may find one that is actually do-able.

Making too many resolutions. This, too, can lead to failure. Instead of getting more exercise, learning to cook, saving money and spending more time with your family, pick one or two goals to focus on. Otherwise, you may just be overwhelming yourself, and you won’t achieve any of them.

Making resolutions that are too broad. Similarly, some resolutions become overwhelming simply because they are so broad. Finding a new job, for example, is a much more complicated task than something like skipping dessert or taking a 30-minute walk every evening. Moreover, this type of goal is also daunting because it isn’t completely in your control – even if you make every effort to find a new job, factors such as the economy, the job market and the qualifications of other applicants can all influence the out-come. Instead, break broad goals down into measurable steps. If your goal is a new job, vow to update your resume, join a networking group and learn to use social media to market yourself. These are all measurable, achievable goals that will give you a sense of accomplishment rather than frustration.

Not having a plan. If you’re resolving to spend less money eating out, decide how you can achieve that before New Year’s Day. Will you set a weekly or monthly limit on how often you dine out? Will you buy a cookbook, so that you can cook meals at home more often? Will you prepare meals advance, so you don’t realize at the last minute that you are out of food? Can your family members help with planning, shopping and cooking? When you know how your will achieve your goal, you are one step closer to doing it.

Going it alone. If your resolutions may affect other people, let them know what you plan to do in advance and ask for their support. For example, if you want to lose weight, ask others not to tempt you with desserts and junk foods. Recruit a friend to watch the kids while you go for a run. Spend more time with people who support your efforts and celebrate your achievements, and avoid those who don’t. It also helps to associate with people whose lifestyles already reflect the changes that you are trying to make.

Expecting perfection. Remember that change is a pro-cess, and it can be challenging. Give yourself permission to be imperfect. If you miss a workout or blow the job inter-view, don’t mentally beat yourself up or give up on your goal. Earn from your mistakes, think about how you can do better next time, and move on. And when you do succeed, reward yourself.

The opening of “Cap-turing the Wonder of Wom-en,” a multi-media exhibit reflecting the diversity of women’s experiences, drew hundreds of visitors to the Women’s Museum of Cali-fornia Dec. 7. The WMC is one of only five women’s museums in the country.

The museum recently moved from its old Golden Hill location to Liberty Sta-tion, and their first juried art show is a way of showing off their new space and reaching out to a wider au-dience.

“We’re recharging the whole spirit of the museum and reintroducing ourselves with this major exhibition,” said curator Li Huai, a visual arts lecturer at UC San Diego and an artist whose work has been shown locally and around the world.

Born in China, with art degrees from Beijing and California, Li is a longtime La Jolla resident whose hus-band also teaches at UCSD. For the exhibit, she gathered more than 150 submissions from regional artists, asking them to capture the “won-der of women” in the medi-um of their choice.

She selected 47 pieces

to show and arranged them attractively in the new gal-lery. Li and guest juror Rob-ert Pincus, senior art writer for the Museum of Contem-porary Art San Diego (MCASD), selected three prize winners, who were an-nounced at the opening.

“I like art that poses a question to the viewers, that makes people think, so the audience becomes part of the art work,” Li said.

Women’s Museum di-rector Ashley Gardner said the exhibition is the result of a huge, huge team effort. “(Li Huai) had a vision and when she put all the pieces together; it was magic,” Gardner said.

Li called it “a dynamic

tableau that testifies to the vitality, resilience and po-tential of women in Califor-nia and beyond.” The en-thusiastic crowd at the opening seemed to agree.

J ust a stone’s throw from busy Torrey Pines Road, Adobe El Restaurante is ensconced in the peaceful oasis of

Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. Breakfast and lunch are served in this Spanish-themed dining establishment that overlooks the resort’s courtyard.

The open-air balcony is often in high demand, especially during the morning hours, as guests sip java to clear the fog in their heads and become further invigorated by the ocean breeze.

“Most guests on decent days love to sit on the patio,” said Danny Fancher, director of food and beverage at Estancia. “San Diego has great weather, which is always helpful. It’s beautiful (the patio). You don’t see any roads. Here, it opens up, there’s a fountain and it’s lush and green everywhere.”

While the patio offers natural beauty, the spacious indoor dining room has its own allure. It features a dark-wood ceiling, brick and paintings of flowers along cream-colored walls. Multi-paned doors permit a glow of light to bathe the tables. There is a horse stall-style door near the entrance — a nod to the property’s history as a former equine estate.

Once seated, patrons are presented with rustic, copper-hued menus listing an assort-ment of foods, from classics to specialties.

According to Fancher, guests gravitate most toward the sizable Blackhorse Breakfast with two eggs any style, roasted poblano hash, blue corn pancakes and a

choice of meat. Another popular selection is the Egg White Frittata, which looks like a big breakfast pizza with shiitake mushrooms, arugula, tomatoes, chicken-apple sausage, avocado and queso fresco.

The morning specialties have more of a Spanish influence and are presented with house-made salsa. These include the Huevos Rancheros with cheese quesadilla, parmesan, tomato sauce and black-bean puree; and the Chilaquiles, created with scrambled eggs, roasted-tomato chile negro sauce, crispy tortillas, cilantro, sour cream and queso fresco.

Lunch takes more of a farm-to-table approach, mainly consisting of sandwiches, salads and soups. The healthy fare is especially favored by neighboring Salk Institute and UC San Diego employees, and

the majority of people dining at that time of day are not in-house guests.

Among the light favorites are the Smoked Salmon Nicoise Salad with Belgian endive, frisee, fingerling potato, haricot vert, Bermuda onion and crispy capers with the thinly sliced fish; and the Grilled Free-Range Chicken Salad garnished with Julian apples, Medjool dates, candied walnuts, Manchego cheese and whole-grain mustard vinaigrette.

Other lunch entrees include the Portobello Burger with butter lettuce, feta cheese, balsamic aioli and olive tapenade that is sandwiched in a buttermilk bun.

The desserts can appeal to patrons of all ages, as there are temptations such as the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee and Molten Chocolate Lava Cake.

10 tips for living happier each day of the new year

Todd Patkin grew up in Needham, Mass. After graduating from Tufts University, he joined the family business and spent the next 18 years helping grow it to new heights. After Advance Auto Parts purchased it in 2005, he was free to focus on philanthro-py, spending time with family and friends, and helping more people learn how to be happy.

The following article is based on his new book, “Finding Happi-ness: One Man’s Quest to Beat De-pression and Anxiety and — Finally — Let the Sunshine In,” which was co-written with clinical psycholo-gist Dr. Howard Rankin.

Patkin lives with his wife, Yadi-ra, their son, Josh, and two dogs, Tucker and Hunter.

“I’ve given it a lot of thought and I’ve come up with 10 simple things people can do to become happier in 2013. You don’t have to do all of them at once — just focus on the three or four that resonate most with you and do those.”

1) If you don’t exercise, start. You already know exercise keeps you healthy and helps

you control your weight. But did you know it’s also a natural antidepressant? Even a 20-minute walk every other day is great for both your body and mind if you do it consistently. And the good news is you can do it with your spouse or kids —and spending more time with them is another shortcut to happiness.”

2) Be easier on yourself. A lot of New Year’s resolutions are little more than thinly

disguised vehicles for beating yourself up. There’s nothing wrong with self-improvement but it needs to come from a place of love.

Many of us have a we’re-never-good-enough-or-doing-enough mindset that’s antithetical to happiness. It’s not easy to change these ingrained thought patterns, but it can be done. And becoming aware of this tendency is the first step.

3) Find some way this year to put your gifts and tal-ents to work.

Talent wants to express itself. If your job doesn’t allow it to do so, find something that does. Playing to your strengths brings real happiness, and when you combine those strengths with a desire to do something good, it’s a double whammy.

4) Strengthen family relationships.Is your marriage running on autopilot? What about your

relationship with your kids? Do you come home from work and sit in front of the computer while they play in another room (or worse, watch TV)? Too many Americans fail to en-gage their families in a meaningful way.

5) Celebrate your spouse.And speaking of your marriage, how is it? If it’s mired in

negativity or characterized by bickering or tension, you’ll never be happy. The good news is that it may not take a lot of effort to dramatically change the tenor of your marriage. Random acts of kindness are always powerful, and that’s even truer inside a marriage.

6) Let the people you appreciate know it. Yes, of course you need to let your close friends and fam-

ily members know how you feel about them. That’s a given. But what about your coworkers? Your barber? Your child’s teacher? The neighbor who keeps an eye on your house when you’re away?

Most of us are too self-conscious to make a big fuss over the people who are sort of on the periphery of our lives but who nonetheless make a big impact, Changing that stance is a key component of happiness. Be generous with hugs. If you’re just not the hugging type, that’s fine, try thank-you notes instead. Letting people know how grateful you are for what they do makes two people happy: them and you.

7) Forgive someone who has wronged you.

This is the other side of the “forgive yourself” coin. Just as you deserve a break, so do other people. And for-giveness is, at its heart, an act of self-love. If you can’t let go of pain and anger, you can’t be happy.

8) Become a giver. Happiness is not about

how much you make; it’s about how much you share. If you have good health, a sound mind, and as little as an hour a week to spare, you are truly fortunate. Whether you’re tutoring kids who need a helping hand or de-livering hot meals to the el-derly, there’s great joy to be found in giving. Many peo-ple know this intellectually; they’ve just never put it into practice. Make this the year you do it. Just give up some of the time you waste in front of the TV or mindless-ly surfing the Internet. You’ll find that it’s no sacri-fice at all.

9) Take a “baby step” toward finding some faith.

This year, make a con-scious effort to think a little bit more about your faith, perhaps check out a few dif-ferent places of worship, or maybe read a couple of spiri-tual books. Happy people have a connection to a Higher Power. If you aren’t sure there even is one, make this the year you do some honest exploration.

10) Make 2013 a year of gratitude.

If you make only one change in 2013, make it this one: Work to be more appre-ciative in general. Gratitude covers a lot of territory. When you’re grateful for your family, you’ll treat them better. When you’re grateful for talents, you’ll use them. When you’re grateful for your health, you’ll work to maintain it. All of these add up to happi-ness.

It’s ironic: Most of us have everything we need to be happy. The tragedy is we’re sleepwalking through life without really noticing that truth. If we could learn to live with an attitude of gratitude — for our kids, our homes, our friends, our health, the food on our ta-bles — we wouldn’t need to worry about finding happi-ness. We’d be living it every day.


BY KAREN BILLINGWhen Renee Casanova arrives at your door with her Pi-

lates 2 U reformer and mats in hand, out go the excuses.“When I knock on the door, it’s time to work out,” said

Casanova, the owner and trainer of Pilates 2 U.A traveling trainer, Casanova guides private in-home

lessons, awakening deep muscles and elongating bodies in 50-minute sessions.

“Seeing people improve by being able to do more with their lives because of what I’m teaching them, seeing them become stronger from the inside out makes me feel so good,” Casanova. “When I see any kind of improvement, it’s so gratifying. People tell me ‘I’m standing up straighter,’ or ‘I think I’ve gotten taller’ or ‘I have more energy because I’m doing this’, that’s what I love most.”

Casanova has lived in Leucadia and run Pilates 2 U for two years, coming from the Los Angeles area where she had a studio in Marina del Rey. While she travels to clients now, she would love to eventually have a studio locally.

In addition to being a certified Pilates instructor for the last 10 years, Casanova is also is a certified core power yoga instructor and Zumba instructor, leading classes at LA Fit-ness.

Casanova comes from a background in dance and per-formed in musical theater in Los Angeles. She became a per-sonal trainer but she didn’t like the type of workouts that in-volved.

“My body didn’t feel elongated like it did with dance, I felt tighter,” Casanova said. “When I went to Pilates I felt like it was dancing without all the pain of dancing.”

She loved the amazing feeling she got from Pilates and decided to become certified with Long Beach Dance Condi-tioning.

Casanova travels with her own Pilates reformer for clients to use or some clients may have their own at home. If preferred by the client, she also can do mat-only Pilates workouts.

Pilates can help bodies

in all kinds of ways, accord-ing to Casanova — it im-proves core strength, pro-motes better posture and sharpens that mind-body connection.

Casanova said every movement done during Pi-

lates requires you to concen-trate on the muscles to make the movement hap-pen.

With New Year’s resolu-tions around the corner, Ca-sanova said Pilates would be an excellent way to “make

yourself strong and invinci-ble.”

For Casanova, Pilates was a huge help after giving birth to her daughter Madi-son eight years ago. After her pregnancy she said she felt like a truck had hit her, but she knew she could re-turn to the exercise that forced her to find her deep abdominal muscles and get her strong again.

“Even if you have never taken a Pilates class before you had a baby, it’s a great way to get back into life gently but effectively,” Casa-nova said. “Pilates teaches you about your body and what it needs to stay injury free.”

FROM KIDS KORPS USAThe horrendous news from Newtown,

Conn., pierced our hearts. We are so deeply saddened, confused and distraught when we think of the killing of innocent children and teachers — no doubt emotions that have been shared by every family in this country and beyond!

As a youth leadership and volunteer agency, our first thoughts following the tragedy were centered around the need to pull our local community together in a form of positive action, and help answer the question for many: “What can we do to help?”

Kids Korps put out a simple plea for our community last week — we asked for stu-dents and families to decorate a “Peace & Love” card template, downloadable from our website, to be sent to Newtown, Conn., and spread among the hallways of local schools where the 500 Sandy Hooks Ele-mentary students will be relocated after the holiday break.

Our hopes were that the project would be a small gesture of our heartfelt condo-lences and not only help bring some peace to those suffering in Connecticut, but also allow for other children and families who were struggling to process the tragic events have a positive outlet for their emotions, empowering them to turn that sadness into something beautiful.

Woodward Spring Fling

A howling good time was had by all June 2 at the 24th annual Black-Tie Kit Kat Club Gala at the Helen

Woodward Animal Center. The “Great Catsby”/roaring-’20s-

themed gala featured 5-star dining, dancing all night with a step-back-in-time soundtrack by the Sensations Showband, live and silent auctions and a casino area.

The event benefits the center’s pro-grams for animals and people in need. (Above) Nancy Walters with Creative, Jan Grandprey with Cathy, Marian Hig-don with Duncan, Myrna Dignan with June Bug. (Right) Cathy and Doug Moore PHOTOS: ROB MCKENZIE

BY CATHARINE KAUFMANAs we ring in 2013,

most of us carry some bag-gage from last year. I’m talk-ing cottage cheese thighs, muffin tops, beer bellies.

According to a recent article in the journal Circu-lation, “reducing intake by 100 calories a day would prevent weight gain in 90 percent of adults by small increases in physical activity along with small changes in food intake.”

Here’s the skinny on trimming those calories that tend to creep up on us.

Brainy Breakfast BitesFor a morning jump-

start and long-lasting fuel power have a complex carb like a whole-wheat bagel, toast or muffin. Instead of slathering on fatty butter or

cream cheese, swap it out with goat cheese or organic fruit preserves.

Chuck the sugary, high-cal cereals for low-fat, high-fiber, protein-packed oat-meal. Add a splash of al-mond milk, a drizzle of aga-ve syrup and sprinkling of toasted walnuts, rather than cream and brown sugar.

Choose eggs soft boiled or poached rather than a cheesy omelet. Swap out oink bacon for lower fat tur-key bacon, and jazz up sa-vory breakfasts with salsa in-stead of sugary ketchup.

Finally, whole fruit is better than sugar-packed juice that wallops the pan-creas first thing in the a.m.

Lunch LightweightsSalad and sandwich

dressings like Ranch, blue cheese and creamy Caesar made with mayo and cream-based artery-clogging mon-sters are best served on the side and used sparingly. Bet-ter choices are vinaigrettes with virgin olive oil or a sprinkling of Meyer lemon juice.

Lay off croutons, cheese and fatty nuts like cashews, substitute slivered almonds, toasted pumpkin and sun-flower seeds.

Choose chicken, turkey, vegetarian or even lamb

burgers over beef, and lose the bun! Sandwich the meat between crisp romaine leaves.

Skinny SuppersWhen dining out, order

a couple of appetizers in-stead of a heavy entrée. For sides, opt for steamed veg-gies or protein-dense grains like quinoa or farro, and don’t give in to the tempta-tion of a fully-loaded baked potato stuffed with globs of

butter, sour cream and crumbled bacon — probably more fattening than a heap of French fries.

Pick tomato-based Man-hattan Clam Chowder over creamy New England-style, order grilled fish instead of deep-fried, choose goat cheese pizza rather than mozzarella, tomato or wine sauces over creamy ones. Chicken breasts trump

bone-in chicken, lavash crackers beat bread, and ol-ive oil is better than butter.

Unhappy HourAre you trying to justify

the health benefits of a Pina Colada? The cocktail is liq-uid fat – a whopping 644 calories, despite its mother load of the essential fatty acid omega-6, protein and calcium from the coconut milk, the pineapple compo-nent giving an anti-inflam-matory boost of bromelain and Vitamin C.

White Russians and Chocotinis aren’t much bet-ter, while Margaritas and Long Island Iced Teas are worse.

For skinny swigs try a Mojito, a champagne spar-kler or a pale ale (light beer). Wine, whether white or red, is the most calorie-friendly libation. Fat-, sodium- and cholesterol-free, this heart-healthy drink is a mere 20 calories per ounce, a 5-ounce glass only 100 calo-ries. Another tip–sip from a champagne flute rather than a bulbous wine goblet to sa-vor more and drink less. Cheers!

Just DessertsIt’s nice to end a meal

on a sweet note, but most blissful bites are filled with sugar and spice and deca-

dent vice. Easy on the whipped cream, butter cream and ice cream. Me-ringue trumps all of the above, same with sorbets and ices. A bowl of fresh berries with a balsamic driz-zle beats them all.

Miscellaneous Fat Trimming

•Eat a salad (with light dressing) before your main course to put the skids on calorie consumption.

•Get your zzz’s. Lost sleep hinders the burning of carbs and increases cortisol production that tinkers with appetite.

•Eat a daily handful of heart-healthy nuts to keep pounds at bay.

•Beef up protein. A lean high-protein low-carb diet will prevent muscle loss while dialing-up fat loss.

•Cut coffee calories. Swap out frothy frappucci-nos, lavish lattes and Irish coffees for fat-free herbal teas that warm the cockles of your heart, while energiz-ing your soul.

BY ASHLEY MACKINTwo short films about the lives

of autistic children will be shown at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, in Sherwood Auditorium at the Muse-um of Contemporary Art, 700 Pros-pect St. in La Jolla.

The films, “El Abuelo” and “With Me,” were produced by the La Jolla-based production compa-ny, Drama House. “With Me” stars a La Jolla boy with Asperger’s Syn-drome.

After the films, there will be a panel discussion addressing Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with filmmakers and educators. Autism now affects 1 in 88 children.

Though the screenings were planned long ago, Drama House Productions founder Patrick Scott said increased awareness of the condition is important since au-tism is in the spotlight after the school shooting in Connecticut. Adam Lanza, the gunman who took the lives of 20 children, eight adults and himself, is believed to have had an autism disorder.

“The obvious concern is … there is going to be a witch hunt on children or people with autism after this tragedy in Connecticut, so it’s a real concern for everyone,” he said of those with loved ones who have an ASD.

Scott produced the film “El Abuelo” in 2011, which is the story of a boy with autism who does not

speak and befriends an elderly mi-grant worker who helps him “find his voice.”

“I got halfway through shoot-ing ‘El Abuelo’ and I realized I didn’t know enough about autism. So I started studying it … and it’s a disease that has many symptoms,” Scott said.

Stephen Metcalfe, whose son has Asperger’s Syndrome (a form of autism), wrote the script for “El Abuelo,” and helped Scott in his newfound need to study autism.

After educating himself and af-ter the success of “El Abuelo” – which won best local film at San Diego Latino Film Festival and honorary mention at the Los Ange-les Movie Awards – Scott began work on “With Me,” which is based on the Metcalfe family’s experienc-es.

Claudia Metcalfe, Stephen’s wife, wrote the script for “With Me,” and when Scott read it, he said, “There’s no way I’m not pro-ducing this.”

The story of “With Me” is that of a boy who develops a connec-tion with a service dog. “The idea to have a boy with autism who meets his first best friend in a ser-vice dog was a story too compelling not to tell,” Scott said.

The Metcalfe’s son, Wesley, starred in “With Me” and, despite the social anxiety that comes with having autism, Scott said Wesley blossomed on the set. This was in part due to filming at the Museum of Contemporary Art and the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Wes-ley’s favorite hangouts.

“It’s heartwarming to see what their talents are once you get to know them,” Scott said of his expe-riences. He added that part of what producers hope to show through these films is both the symptoms and talents that come with autism.

Admission at the door is by a suggested donation of $12.

Personalized College Admissions Counseling and

Test Preparation

BY KARIN OLSENProviding access to technology in the classroom is rap-

idly becoming the standard in American education. No-where is this trend more impactful than in schools teaching students who learn differently. Two years ago the Winston School, which specializes in teaching students with such learning differences as autism, Asperger’s, ADHD and dys-graphia, embarked on a three-year plan to incorporate tech-nology into the classroom.

For nearly 25 years the school (www.thewinstonschool.com) has steadily built a reputation for teaching students in ways each individual can learn and not the other way around. A technology committee made up of staff members with diverse specialties and classroom needs sought to ex-pand capabilities for students who often turn to the school when traditional educational avenues have failed them.

The technology team consisting of headmaster Mike Pe-terson, dean of students and director of counseling Dr. Norm Severe, assistant head of school Mary Sterling-Torretti, and science teacher Ernie Hartt devised the plan that launched last year with 20 iPads for classroom use.

When fellow teachers and students connected the de-vices to TVs and tapped into a vast number of applications, the technology committee realized the small sampling of iPads made a significant impact. The success prompted the decision this year by the Board of Directors to provide iPads in the classrooms for all teachers and students one year ahead of schedule.

According to Severe, the program is transforming every class at the school with each class customizing how the iPads are used. “Classes use applications for writing, read-ing, and science as well as word processing programs and presentation software. Google has been a favorite in many classes, especially in history where teachers are doing time-line work.” he said.

He said the assistive devices are particularly helpful for those who struggle to pay attention in class or write and have difficulty with note taking and problem solving. “Stu-dents with dysgraphia find the dictation software helps them become more at ease and struggle less. It really breaks down the barriers.”

First-year Winston student Grant Anthony previously attended a large public school and said he experienced the

benefits of Winston and the technology tools immediately. The 17-year-old University City junior with attention defi-cit disorder said the combination of smaller class sizes and access to his own iPad transformed his high school experi-ence.

“At Winston I feel like I can crack down and work more. The school is a lot smaller so it’s harder to get dis-tracted and into conversations with other students. I have ADD it’s been a bit of a problem, but at Winston I’ve been able to get past it. The iPads are awesome, too and since Winston updated the Internet we can do all the research we want with the high-speed access.

“For math I can write in a formula with a graph and it will show what it looks like. In biology I’ll have questions, but if I don’t want to interrupt the class I can Google and find the answer in about a minute. At my other school we used laptops, but the servers couldn’t handle all of them. Each laptop was assigned to two kids. It didn’t work out very well.”

Anthony, who also participates in the school’s highly

acclaimed arts program as a base player for the school’s blues band as well as his long-time group The Weekend War-riors, also said he regularly uses his iPad to access ultimate-guitar.com for learning music.

Fellow Winston junior and blues band member Nicolai Spiegelberg said he also finds the iPad a big help in class. “I do all my research and write on the iPad now. I don’t even use a computer anymore. Last year I used the iPad mostly in biology and English to research and write my papers. And I’ve become more interested in math – I like to use the 10 Ultimate tab in there.”

Spiegelberg said the device is also good for organizing. “I actually haven’t even used a computer since I started us-ing the iPad. It’s so convenient. It’s like a piece of paper. I pull it out of my backpack and research something. I have my whole life on this thing and it’s helped me be more or-ganized. I can even get text books on the iPad so now my backpack is much lighter.”

Winston School headmaster Mike Peterson shares Dr. Severe’s and the students’ positive assessment and enthusi-asm. “The iPads have helped stimulate interest and sense of adventure for all subjects and it’s exciting to walk around to the classes and see how the devices are adding to our stu-dents’ learning experiences.”

Peterson said the groundwork has been laid to expand the program. “Prior to this school year, we increased and improved our infrastructure network to support the large number of iPads with high-speed internet and strengthened our wireless backbone system to handle the high traffic.

“Along the way,” he said, “We have been sorting through thousands of education apps, many of which are free or low-cost and the staff regularly shares their findings in staff meetings. Our next step is to facilitate Winston teachers visiting other schools to learn about other methods of tech integration and share what has worked for Win-ston.”

The Winston School is a college preparatory program which offers hope and success for children with learning dif-ferences in grades 4 through 12. The school is located at 215 Ninth St., Del Mar, Calif., 92014. Visit www.thewin-stonschool.com or email [email protected] or call the school at 858-259-8155.

Celebrating 22 years of service

BY LESLIE CARTERThe ladies of the San Diego GOLD (Gifts Of Loving Donors) Diggers and their gentle-

men were greeted by a beautiful tall flute of Villa Sandi Prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine, as they moved from the courtyard into Mille Fleurs on Paseo Delicias, just before sunset on Sunday, Dec. 16.

It was the traditional Holiday Celebration enjoyed by the Gold Diggers and their friends. They reside in all areas of San Diego County, but this was the first time in recent memory that this charitable group has come to Rancho Santa Fe for the Christmas event.

There is usually a Golden Kettle in an honored and prominent spot at a Gold Diggers party. This evening, however, the Golden Kettle had gone missing, but it was replaced by a red envelope on each table.

Throughout the year, the Gold Diggers fundraise for many of the smaller charitable or-ganizations in the county, mainly those that are too small to maintain their own fundrais-ing staffs. The Gold Diggers focus on the special needs of children and their caregivers, the elderly, crime victims and other groups that do good works. Recently Pegasus Rising was added to the Gold Diggers’ philanthropy list, a program based in Rancho Santa Fe that uses a herd of formerly feral Polish-Arabian horses to mitigate the ravages of traumatic brain in-jury and PTSD in Wounded Warriors.

Over the course of the dinner $600 was placed into the envelopes to benefit Project Homeless Connect.

The sixth annual Project Homeless Connect will be held at Golden Hall on the San Di-ego Concourse on Jan. 30. It is an annual one-day resource fair that provides health screen-ings, flu shots, dental exams, haircuts, drug counseling, legal aid, housing counseling and other services for San Diego’s homeless families, veterans, seniors and disabled. It is orga-nized by the San Diego Housing Commission, and Gold Diggers Isabelle Piccini and Barba-ra Miller are on the board of directors.

The Gold Diggers are collecting clothing to be given to the homeless at the event. At least 1,200 homeless people are expected to seek help this year. Last year 650 pairs of socks were purchased with the donations made at the 2011 Holiday Party.

The excellent three-course dinner was prepared by Mille Fleurs Chef de Cuisine of 28 years, Martin Woesle. There were four entrée choices but most of the guests enjoyed the Prime Beef Hanger Steak with Potato Gratin, Steamed Broccoli and Black Peppercorn Sauce, or Grilled Sea Bass with Mussels, Braised Fennel, Saffron Sauce and Wild Rice. There was also a beautiful Pumpkin Soup with light cream and Cinnamon Croutons.

Gold Diggers President Holly Smith Jones hosted the canapés (spinach soup, salmon, roast beef and goat cheese) and the Prosecco.

The event co-chairs were Diana Vuich and Pricilla Web.The Gold Diggers woke up to sad news on Monday morning. Larry Mabee, one of only

two men on the membership roster, died at his home in Rancho Santa Fe on the day of the Holiday Party. He was a treasured member because it was his mother, Betty Mabee, who spearheaded the founding of the Gold Diggers in 1993. Larry Mabee has been generous to Gold Diggers projects over the years and his family has requested that “in lieu of flowers” gifts go to the Gold Diggers.

EXPERT ADVICEVICEEXPERT ADVXX T AA IVDRTREPE CE

BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT

In part-one of this three-part series we looked at people’s eating patterns which can lead to overeat-ing and weight gain. In part-two we looked at physi-cal activity and the impor-tant role it plays in one’s health. In this third and fi-nal article I would like to ex-plore one’s coping skills and how it can affect one’s health.

We all have heard of the emotional eater, maybe you know one, or are one. Emotional eaters often use food to comfort themselves in times of stress, anxiety, or sadness. Also, the food they tend to use for comfort is of-ten not a healthy choice (a big bowl of ice cream, mac-and-cheese, a bag of cookies, etc.). In fact, I have never met someone who told me they would grab a salad when they are stressed! If you are an emotional eater I would like to offer some ideas on different ways to handle the cravings for com-fort food.

First, keep a “food & mood” diary for a few days, filling in your ABCs:

•Antecedents – the trig-ger situations or emotions that come before eating.

•Behavior of eating – what you ate and how much.

•Consequences – the feelings and attitudes that occur after eating.

Here’s an example: Antecedents: Got

yelled at by the boss; felt stressed.

Behavior: Grabbed can-dy and soda from the vend-ing machine.

Consequences: Felt bet-ter at first, but left work still feeling stressed.

The goal is to learn your triggers that you typically soothe with food, such as anxiety, loneliness, stress, sadness, etc. Then ask your-self, “How much of my eat-ing is emotionally related?” Then you can develop an emotional eating plan, in fact it might be a good idea to write your plan down on index cards that you can carry with you so you can refer to your plan when needed. Here’s an example:

When feeling lonely: Call a friend; Log onto an internet chat group; E-mail or write a friend; Visit the health club.

When feeling stress at work: Take slow, deep breaths; Talk it out with someone you trust; Take a

Nutrition and you: What’s making America fat? Part Three

walk; Put thoughts in a jour-nal.

Your goal is to change the mood that is causing you to be an emotional eat-er. Sometimes if you just write your feelings down, or take a walk to take your mind off of a stressful situa-tion you won’t turn to food for comfort.

What if you are the type of person who knows they need to lose weight, wants to lose weight, but keeps putting it off – are you a persistent procrastinator? Here are some of the top reasons people procrasti-nate: to avoid an unpleasant task, low self-confidence, lack of an immediate re-ward, or maybe you are easi-ly distracted. If this de-scribes you here’s a few tips.

Instead of setting gener-al goals, such as to eat healthier or to exercise, set mini-goals. For example: in-stead of a goal to eat health-ier, set a mini-goal to eat breakfast on a daily basis.

Or if your goal is to start ex-ercising, set your mini-goal to walk 20 minutes daily. Immediate benefits from eating breakfast and walking daily will be your energy boost in addition to helping you manage your weight better, which leads to a long-term benefit.

Keep some sample re-minders to prompt you to pursue your mini-goals.

•Keep a fresh fruit bas-ket on the counter.

•Leave a water bottle on your desk at work.

•Use the internet to find healthy options at your favorite restaurants. (www.healthydiningfinder.com is a great site)

•Keep healthy recipes in plain sight (visit my website www.RD4Health.com for some ideas)

•Lay out gym clothes the night before.

•Schedule exercise times in your calendar.

Also, it’s a good idea to keep a success journal so that you can easily see how far you have come. You may even want to give your-self an award as you meet certain goals, such as pam-per yourself with a spa day, have a romantic night out, attend a special sporting event, or enjoy a concert.

Now that we have come to the end of this series on “What is making America fat?” I hope you can see that it is not a simple answer. There are a plethora of

things that get in the way of living a healthy lifestyle. So, if you are looking to make changes in your eating and/or exercise habits my sugges-tion is to start slow. Make you goals specific and achievable, and your long-term benefit will be a healthy person.

Y S

T

BY CLAIRE HARLINWhen Fred Pahl first met Edgar Engert in 1972, he said the local man, who worked for

44 years as a landscaper at the Paul Ecke Ranch, was shy and never spoke in groups. But if you knew Engert now, at age 76 — a high-spirited, outgoing leader who starts conversation with nearly everyone he passes — that description would be hard to believe.

Engert has come to be known in North County as “Mr. Encinitas.” He’s headed the En-cinitas Chamber of Commerce, spearheaded Encinitas events like their holiday parade and Octoberfest, and he’s the longest-standing member on the board of the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA, which has for decades served communities from Encinitas to Del Mar to Rancho Santa Fe.

But highest on Engert’s list of achievements is the fact that he helped start the YMCA’s service club 40 years ago. Once known as the “Y’s Men’s Club,” the group has, to date, raised more than $750,000 for the Magdalena Ecke Y.

Pahl, the Y’s former executive director, saw a need for the service organization in 1972, and approached 30 local men who he asked to help charter the club. Well-known horticul-turist Paul Ecke Junior introduced Paul to Engert, his landscaper, who Ecke said would be a great person to head the club. Engert is still a leader in the club today, having progressed to head of the club on regional and international levels as well.

“[Ecke] said, ‘I have just the guy for you.’ He introduced me to Edgar because he’s a go-getter, a dynamo.” said Pahl, adding that the group became the first co-ed Y service club in the world when Engert’s wife, Renate, became president in 1975. It was at that time when the group changed its name to the North Coast Y Service Club.

For those who have attended the Y, they may have noticed the remodeled preschool, youth camp programs and structural improvements to the aquatic park, but they may not have known that those assets are the results of people like Pahl and Engert, as well as other members of the North Coast Y Service Club. That’s why, on the club’s 40th anniversary, members are holding a commemorative event to recognize the club’s efforts. The event is open to the public and will be held at 6 p.m. on Jan. 26, 2013 at The Grauer School, locat-ed at 1500 S. El Camino Real.

The North Coast Y Service Club is comprised of members from a variety of back-grounds, from retirees to working people to stay-at-home moms.

The club’s annual flower sales, which include the poinsettia sale that recently wrapped up, bring in some $8,000 to $12,000 in sales each year, and the group’s holiday giving cam-paign brings in about $250,000 — about $8,000 of which is usually raised annually by Engert himself. The service club also holds an annual casino night that brings in about $18,000.

“Being part of this club has changed my life because I feel good about doing some-thing for the community,” said Engert, who is still very active in the club with his wife. He also said he’s happy to see the Y, which was once small, grow into a 20-acre, ocean-view fa-cility with an extensive number of programs and activities for all ages.

After 40 years, local men still steering YMCA service club

From left: Edgar Engert, Renate Engert and Fred Pahl, longtime leaders of the North Coast Y Service Club.

Engert and Renate travel internationally every year to meet with service groups from Y’s all over the world, from Japan to China to Europe.

“It’s interesting to sit around a table of people with all different languages and make wonderful friendships around the world,” Engert said.

Pahl said he sees Engert as a “Y success story,” and a true leader.

“He helps people at our club know they are part of something larger,” Pahl said.

The service club, which is welcoming new members, meets twice a month, on the second and fourth Wednes-days, at 7 p.m. at the Ecke YMCA, located at 200 Saxony Road in Encinitas. For more information, find the North Coast Y Service Club on Facebook or visit https://ysmen-northcoast.samariteam.com/. For event ticket information, email the club’s spokeswoman, Michele Wegman, at [email protected].

On Thursday night, Jan. 10, at 6:30 p.m. at the Solana Beach Library, the Friends of the Library are hosting a presentation by Francine Jensen on “Stained Glass Windows of France: Sublime Light and Colors.”

In this lecture Fran-cine will recount, through slides, the history of the stained glass windows in the various regions of France and describe the technical evolution and trends of this special art form over the course of centuries. Although Fran-cine is a biological scien-tist by training, her lei-sure-time passion has been the study of French art and history.

The Solana Beach Li-brary is located at 157 Ste-vens Avenue, Solana Beach, 92075 (telephone 858-755-1404). This pro-gram is free to the public.

Presentation on ‘Stained Glass Windows of France: Sublime Light and Colors’ is Jan. 10
