The city is moving for-ward with plans to improve Marine View Avenue on the east side of Solana Beach.

The project focuses on the east side of Marine View Ave., between San Andres Drive and Solana Drive. The adjacent upslope in this area is eroding, causing sand to wash out into the street after rainstorms, which is affect-ing the storm drain. The city has been using temporary

silt fences to collect that sed-iment, but this project will offer a permanent solution. The project calls for the en-tire slope face to be re-grad-ed, for the installation of an irrigation system and the in-stallation of a 115-linear-foot retaining wall.

This portion of the street also lacks a sidewalk, which will be added. Pavement on the street will also be re-paired, and a decomposed

The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, along with the cities of Del Mar, Encinitas, and Solana Beach, was recently recog-nized by the San Diego County Taxpayers Associa-tion (SDCTA) for saving tax-payers an estimated $1 mil-lion last year through their cooperative efforts agree-ment. The agreement,

which was put into effect in 2009, provides for the par-ticipating agencies to share management services in an effort to cut back on operat-ing costs. The agreement was modified last year and is now expected to save the agencies $1.6 million. The recognition from the SDCTA

Solana Vista School second-grade teacher Kelsey Holohan said she loves coming to work, knowing that she is doing something that matters. Her enthusiasm for her job is part of the reason behind her be-ing named this year’s Solana Beach School District “Teacher of the Year.”

Principal Lisa Platt said that Ho-lohan inspires not only her students

but her colleagues, as well, in the way she approaches every day of teaching with wonder and excite-ment. In addition to being a class-room teacher, Holohan is also being honored for her position as the dis-trict’s Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) coordinator.

“Kelsey Holohan is a real leader and trailblazer at our school and at the district level,” Platt said. “When-ever we embark on a new path she is

always the first person to step up and become the expert and she is highly dedicated to sharing her expertise. Kelsey is an outstanding mentor, as she maintains the highest level of professionalism, integrity and confi-dentiality in her relationships, and her kind and caring manner inspires a feeling of trust and teamwork.”

If you’ve been to the Del Mar Plaza in the past few weeks, you’ve likely seen the paper-covered windows next-door to Smashburger. The paper has now been re-moved, revealing down-town’s newest addition, Ur-ban Girl Accessories. Inside you’ll find owner Annie Glenn, who is depicted in the store’s logo wearing a sunglasses and flip-flops — her “everyday uniform,” as she explains. This Carmel Valley resident is the em-bodiment of “fun, trendy, and kitchy style,” and her store is full of things that help her define that.

“I wanted to create a place filled with beautiful things, the kind of place where you walk in and sigh and feel immediately relaxed because it appeals to your senses,” she said.

You’ll find, for example, a hearty selection of unique jewelry, like rings made from vintage buttons. And home items, such as scented soy candles. There’s also a kids’ corner, beachwear, tote bags, and bath and body products. Glenn also prides herself on philanthropic-based items, so she carries an extensive selec-tion of TOMS shoes, which gives a pair of shoes to a child in need with each purchase. She also carries a line of jewel-

ry made with Acholi beads, which are handmade by Ugandan women who turn excess paper waste into brightly colored beads. Not only is the jewelry eco-friend-

ly, it also affords these wom-en the opportunity to make a living and provide for their children.

This Del Mar store is the latest in a line of entrepre-

neurial ventures for Glenn. She and her husband Chris started their retail work many years ago with a t-shirt and hat kiosk at Seaport Village. That business soon grew into their fist store, American Nos-talgia. The couple continued to steadily grow their busi-ness, adding a new store ev-ery few years. Now, two chil-dren and many years later, the couple owns three stores in Seaport Village: American Nostalgia, San Diego Surf Company, and the original Urban Girl Accessories.

Glenn decided to open a second Girl Accessories store in North County after prod-ding from her friends and fans who wanted something

closer to home. It was during a visit to Smashburger with her children that Glenn spot-ted the vacant storefront in the Del Mar Plaza, and the rest, as they say, is history.

“This was the perfect lo-cation for Urban Girl Acces-sories, and I guess I have Smashburger to thank for finding it,” she quipped. “I am so excited to be here in Del Mar and I hope everyone comes in to say hello. I would love to make Urban Girl Accessories one of their favorite places.”

For more information, please visit urbangirlaccesso-ries.com. The Del Mar Plaza is located at 1555 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, 92014.

Butterflies are about to emerge at Del Mar Heights Elementary School where a months-long project to edu-cate sixth-grade students about the Holocaust is un-derway.

Stories have been written before about the Butterfly Project begun at the San Di-ego Jewish Academy five years ago that honors and memorializes the 1.5 million Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust.

But what’s unusual about this story is that the butter-flies will soon alight at a Del Mar public elementary school, the first large public school installation locally.

Cheryl Price, SDJA Artist in Residence and Butterfly Project founder, said she is thrilled to have Del Mar Heights join the more than 200 butterfly memorials in cities nationwide. “It is very exciting to see what Del Mar Heights Elementary School is doing,” she said.

Price works with co-founder Jan Landau and project coordinator Rebeca

Besquin to promote Holo-caust education beyond the walls of Carmel Valley’s SDJA.

“At first we were keeping all the butterflies at SDJA,” Price said, noting that stu-dents at several other local schools have participated in the project and sent the ce-ramic butterflies to SDJA. “We changed gears three years ago to invite others to make their own memorials.

It is a better way to educate, as the kids see the butterflies each day and remember.”

The ceramic butterflies are shaped from clay, and are then painted, glazed and mounted for display. The Del Mar Heights students’ butterflies will be displayed in the school’s Multi-Use Room.

Price’s goal is “to reach as many children, parents, teachers and Holocaust sur-

vivors as we possibly can over the next five years so we can meet our goal of 1.5 million butterflies displayed worldwide in multiple loca-tions,” she said. “No small feat … and every butterfly counts.”

Inspired by the documen-tary “Paper Clips” and the poem “The Butterfly” writ-ten by a child during the Holocaust, the project is called “Zikaron V’tikvah” – Hebrew for remembrance and hope. The project asks participants to “remember the past, act responsibly in the present, and create a more peaceful future.”

Wendy Wardlow, principal of Del Mar Heights, said her students are being taught historical lessons about the millions of people who were killed in the Holocaust. “It’s hard to imagine the num-bers. But each one was a pre-cious person; each one was part of a family,” she said. “Butterflies are a sign of new life. By our lives, we can honor theirs.”

Resilient human spiritWardlow came upon the

Butterfly Project after seek-ing a meaningful project for her 65 outgoing sixth-grad-ers this year that would ex-pand their horizons and provide them with a richer education beyond the sub-jects they learn in school. The purpose, she said, is not just to teach about one of the darkest chapters in mod-ern human history, but also to help students understand the need for individuals to speak out against prejudice and injustice, promote toler-ance and empathy, and de-fend democracy.

“I want our students to understand the power and the vulnerability of our de-mocracy,” she said. “They should never take their free-dom for granted.”

Wardlow also hopes to transmit lessons about resil-ience of the human spirit. “I

also want them to under-stand there is hope and that they can overcome incom-prehensible obstacles,” she said.

Wardlow said the teachers enthusiastically embraced the project, which began months ago with films and books and included a per-sonal visit from local Holo-caust survivor Ben Midler (see sidebar) who spoke to the children about his expe-riences in concentration camps during World War II and how he overcame bitter-ness and anger and learned to look to the future with joy.

Del Mar Heights sixth-grade student Elane Moon said the Holocaust speaker taught her that it’s impor-tant “not to give in to sad-

BY KAREN BILLINGStaff Writer Congregation Beth Am Preschool’s Junior Kindergarten(Gesher Program) recently held its annual Zoozeum exhibit at San Diego Jewish Academy, showing off the students’ artistic interpretations of the animal kingdom.

The project began in January after a vis-it to the San Diego Zoo. Each child picked an animal from their visit and teachers Louisa Karam, Dita Benarieh and Rimma Reytblat led them in 13 different art projects based on their chosen animal. Each project was done in a particular artist’s style—Monet’s impressionism, Picasso’s cubism and Jewish artist Marc Chagall’s stained glass (the chil-dren used clearphane paper instead of glass).

The biggest art project is their paper ma-ché animals, made from recycled containers and painted and pruned with help from their parents.

“It’s definitely a family project,” said Karam.

The results were spectacular: A lion with a full hairy mane; a long-legged giraffe; a fuzzy panda and a peacock with beautiful feathers; to name just a few of the 20-animal menagerie.

“The children’s faces beam with pride,” said Denise Neifeld, preschool director of the young artists “They really feel a sense of ac-complishment and self worth. So much self esteem is gained from this amazing adven-ture.”

On Zoozeum night, their creations were

set up for viewing but each child also prac-ticed public speaking, talking about where their animal comes from, what it eats and how its name is said in Hebrew.

At the end of their presentation, each child presented an unknown fact about their animal. One such fact was: “Did you know after koalas eat eucalyptus their breath smells like cough drops?”

The reception, of course, featured ani-mal cookies decorated by the children.

Dr. Dennis Carson is giving up his post as director of the renowned UCSD Moores Cancer Center, and doing anything but retiring.

“It’s time for me for step down and return to the laboratory,” said Carson, who will turn 65 this year. “I have two anti-cancer drugs in development and I’ll now have a lot more time to be in the lab.”

Involved in every step of the disease-treatment pro-cess, including actually mak-ing, bottling and labeling the first treatments, Carson is perhaps best known for discovering and pushing through to clinical use a novel anti-cancer agent now marketed as Leustatin. It is the therapy of choice for cancer patients with hairy cell leukemia, producing a decade or more of disease-free remission in eight of 10 new patients, often after just a single infusion.

During his career, Car-son has published more than 485 peer-reviewed pa-

pers and trained scores of new physician-scientists. He owns 69 patents based upon his research and has found-ed six biotechnology com-panies to pursue these dis-coveries.

As director of the UCSD Moores Cancer Center — one of only 40 Comprehen-sive Cancer Centers in the nation designated by the National Cancer Institute — Carson has created or sup-ported new and innovative programs that mesh the tal-ents and resources of aca-demia and industry to push promising cancer treatments into clinical trials faster and more effectively.

At UCSD since 1990, Carson was brought in to help recruit new faculty. He

acknowledged he’s presided over the cancer center dur-ing a formative time in its history.

“When I started in 2001 the center really wasn’t comprehensive,” he said, noting that all changed with the help of John Moores, other donors and especially, the university.

“Together we put up a truly unified building in 2003 to house the center and its clinicians, research-ers and educators,” he said. “I think it set a (new) stan-dard for the university.”

A total of 675 people are now employed at Moores Cancer Center.

“The number of pa-tients has doubled and we’re in the top 20 in the country in National Cancer Institute grants,” added Carson.

Dr. Thomas J. Kipps, a hematologist who’s worked together with Carson for 25 years, will become the act-ing center director while the university does an exhaus-tive search to find Carson’s permanent replacement.

Cancer is not a single

malady but a class of diseas-es in which cells display un-controlled growth invading, intruding upon and destroy-ing adjacent tissues and sometimes spreading to oth-er parts of the body. Carson said steady progress is being made in fighting the disease though it’s a time-consum-ing process.

“Cancer is actually more like a 100 different dis-eases,” he said, adding the biggest risk factor is age, though children can get cer-tain types.

“Research is very hard,” noted Carson. “Some of the treatments are difficult.”

Though cancer may never be completely “cured,” Carson foresees the disease becoming more manageable with treatment over time.

“We will continue to make steady progress, though I don’t think there will be one magic bullet,” he said. “The trend in mortality is down, which I see increas-ing until the time when can-cer will be much less a prob-lem than it is now.”

The 2011 San Diego County Fair’s wheels are in mo-tion to “Race to the Fair” for 22 days starting Friday, June 10, through Monday, July 4. (The Fair will be closed the first three Mondays, June 13, 20 and 27.)

Solana Beach resident and Cal Coast Academy student James Ber-nard (11th grade) was the top honor-ee recently at the San Diego Rowing Club’s annual ju-nior banquet. James walked away with the evening’s most sought after title of MVP. What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that James has only been rowing since February. “In just three short months James has not only worked his way up to earning this distinguished com-pliment but he has simultaneously main-tained his 4.3 GPA and demanding class schedule,” states Cal Coast Academy’s founder and principal Jan Dunning.

During the entire nine-month season, junior rowers practice six days a week for two and a half hours a day. These strenuous workouts help to prepare the rowers for events such as the U.S. Rowing Southwest Junior Championship Regatta. Currently, James and his fellow crew members are gear-ing up for their last event of the season, the U.S. Rowing Junior Nationals Champion-ships.

Led by former U.S. national team mem-ber Chris Callaghan, the junior rowers re-ceive the knowledge and guidance required to endure and succeed at such challenging events. James recognizes and appreciates the level of expertise his coach holds. “Coach Callaghan has taught me the impor-tance of teamwork, persistence, and good sportsmanship, he has challenged and en-couraged me, and he has given me the phys-ical training required to reach my maximum potential and compete in a collegiate rowing program,” James said.

Although the season has almost come to an end, James will continue to glide through the waters of Mission Bay as he ea-gerly strives towards excellence. “James’ ac-complishments both athletically and aca-demically are a true testament to his unwav-ering dedication and hard work,” says Dun-ning. “He exemplifies the ideal definition of a well-rounded individual and he undeni-ably deserves this noteworthy recognition.”

Cal Coast Academy is an independent grades 6-12 college preparatory school ac-credited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, approved by the Uni-versity of California, and NCAA certified. To learn more about Cal Coast Academy, call 858-481-0882 or visit www.calcoastacademy.com.

Student letters

After Midler’s presentation, the Del Mar Heights sixth-grade students wrote to thank him. Names have been omitted to protect the private and personal na-ture of the letters. Following are excerpts from a few of the more than 60 letters:

“I have never appreciated living in America so much until now. Hearing about the Holocaust from an eye-witness brings everything I’ve learned about it to a whole new level.”

“Thank you for taking the time to share your amaz-ing and tragic story with us. I can’t imagine how hard it must be for you to talk about that. … I admire your courage, bravery and kindness and wish you the best in all your future. We will never forget your family that passed away in the camps and will honor them forever. You have inspired me to do great things.”

“Your story left me in tears. …Your speech taught me and showed me that you never gave up, always had hope, and never lost faith.”

ness.”Wardlow said the impact

of having Midler speak to the children was profound.

“I think the personal con-nection our students made when listening to a survivor describe such a horrific world event will remain with them into the future,” she said. “It’s critical we make connections with our students so they understand why it is important for them to learn about the events in our world histo-ry.”

“No one lesson will ever be enough for our young people to understand the suffering and ability for oth-ers to turn a blind eye, but it is a start,” Price said. “The experience of hearing the survivor tell their story, standing with dignity and determination to speak for those who never had the chance to speak, is a life-changing milestone for those in the room.”

Price said students feel empowered to speak out against injustice after meet-ing Holocaust survivors, many of whom were their age when they were taken from their families by the Nazis and forced to suffer unimaginable atrocities.

“We are so grateful when we see people of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds clutch at their hearts with compassion for the suffering that the survivor endured just for being who they were: a Jewish child born in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Price said.

Wardlow said all the chil-dren “get it,” as evidenced in the moving letters each child wrote to Ben Midler (see sidebar).

“And I think when they

are older, they will reflect on what they learned and get it at an even deeper lev-el,” she said. “These lessons will provide a base of under-standing to guide them throughout their lives.”

Shaping America’s gov-ernment

Price said the Butterfly Project has been an effective tool to begin teaching chil-dren about the Holocaust, because it connects the chil-dren to history through art.

“When we have an oppor-tunity for a public school to bring the Butterfly Project and its many layers to their students, we are always moved by the genuine com-passion that is generated,” Price said in an email.

One critical component of the project for both Price and Wardlow is the need for students to understand their role in shaping America’s government.

“We believe the students are learning that they are very lucky to be living in the U.S.A.,” Price said. “When, as at Del Mar Heights Elementary School, there is an education com-ponent such as watching the documentary ‘Paper-clips’ and having long dis-cussions about the gradual stripping away of legal rights and possessions and the idea of ‘superior’ races, the students are asked to consider how this could happen and what would they do if living in that time. A lot of soul-searching takes place.”

The Heights students have already made their clay but-terflies, Wardlow said, and will be painting and glazing them in the next few weeks. To prepare, each student was given a brief biography of a Holocaust child, and each student’s butterfly is dedicated to that child.

“On the back of their but-

terflies, each student wrote the name of a child who was in the Holocaust,” she said. “On the front, they wrote words like ‘remember,’ ‘peace,’ ‘hope,’ ‘love.’”

Sherrie Antoun’s butterfly was dedicated to a girl who was 5 when she was killed by the Nazis. “We are learning that we take our lives for granted,” said the Heights sixth-grader.

Several students, during the painting of their butterflies under the supervision of Del Mar Heights art instructor Jacque Folgner, were impacted by the knowledge that Ben Midler was about their age when he was taken from his family and sent to Nazi concentration camps. They all agreed with sixth-grader Caitlin Puglisi when she said, “You can’t even imagine what he must have gone through.”

Caitlin said she is learning through the Butterfly Project “to act responsibly in the present and to not be preju-diced.”

“We are honored to be included in this project,” said Wardlow, who plans to make the Butterfly Project an an-nual sixth-grade event. “One of my goals as the principal of Del Mar Heights is for our students to be compassionate and to engage their hearts as well as their minds. While we focus on building their skills in reading, writing and math-ematics, it is equally important for them to learn to think critically, to question authority, to be brave and use their voices for good.”

When students have a chance to express their emotions through art by making a ceramic butterfly that memorial-izes a child, Price said they show the world “that this liv-ing child today has a voice and won’t stand for injustice.”

An upcoming town-hall-style meeting will dis-cuss errors, according to the event hosts, in the presen-tation of Islam in the sev-enth-grade history textbook currently in use in San Die-guito Union High School District middle schools and throughout the state.

Local residents James Freedman, Linda Sax and Michael Hayutin recently published an analysis of portions of the textbook, ti-tled “World History: Medi-eval to Early Modern Times.” The 21-page report focuses on sections of Chapter 3 (“The Rise of Is-lam”) and Chapter 4 (“The Spread of Islam”) and iden-tifies 22 points in the text-book that the three authors believe are misleading or in-accurate representations of Islam.

The meeting, spon-sored by Hayutin Sax and Freedman, will focus exclu-sively on the accuracy of the information in the text-book and will feature a pan-el consisting of an Islamic expert, a rabbi and a retired Marine.

The meeting is open to the public and will be held on Sunday, June 5, at 2 p.m. Meeting will be held at the Boys and Girls Club in Sola-na Beach, 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, 92075, in the Community Room

Michael Pines, Personal injury attorney: “Click It or Ticket” Initiative Hits California Highways

delmartimes.net

The 12U gold all-star team of the North Shore Girls Softball League battled highly competi-tive teams over three days to take the win in its division of the Riptide Tournament, sponsored by the Oceanside Girls Softball Association.

Elite leagues from Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties participated in the first all-star tournament of the season. North Shore emerged from pool play in second place and took on Scripps Ranch to win 4-1. North Shore went on to win against Imperial Beach by one run during the most highly contested game of the tournament. Lead-off hitter Christina Bragado went three for three at bat, scoring two of North Shore’s four runs, including the game winner.

“The game was a battle from the first pitch to the final out, with girls competing for every inch of the field,” said North Shore manager, Kent Zapata. “It was the most intense game I’ve been involved with. It was a playoff situation where both teams would do anything to win.”

North Shore then took on Carlsbad in the semi-final round. In the last inning, North Shore was down by four runs, but battled back to tie the game at 5-5. With one out and Kennedy Kidd

North Shore wins Riptide Tournament. Front Row: Lauren Scheg, Mikaila Reyes, Erin Vandertie, Maddie Ley, Morgan McIntyre, and Chase Zapata. Back Row: Kent Zapata, Kennedy Kidd, Ally Harvey, John McIntyre, Christina Bragado, Es Reyes, Nicole Anderson, Sydny Poh, Dave Vandertie, Sophie Ausmus, and Tim Scheg.

North Shore’s 12U gold all-stars battle to win Riptide Tourney

on third, and Sophie Ausmus at the plate, Zapata called a “suicide squeeze” to score the winning run and advance to the finals against top-ranked La Costa.

La Costa entered the finals after amassing 48 runs and giving up only seven. With La Cos-ta’s strong offense, North Shore was up for a defensive battle.

Again in the last inning, North Shore was down 3-1. With two outs, North Shore scored four runs to take a two run lead with clutch hits by Ally Harvey, Kidd, and Ausmus, and a walk by Sydny Poh. North Shore had to hold La Costa to take the win, but that proved difficult when La Costa’s full roster of hitters put together three hits to score a run and put runners on second and third with two outs. With North Shore’s Lauren Scheg on the mound, La Costa hit a tower-ing pop fly that was caught by second baseman Chase Zapata to secure the championship.

Mikaila Reyes pitched three strong innings in the final game. Stellar defense by Maddie Ley, Nicole Anderson, Erin Vanderttie, and Morgan McIntyre also contributed to North Shore’s suc-cess.

“Today was our day,” said manager Zapata, as he watched his team celebrate on the infield after the final out. “I’ve managed all-star teams for years and dreamed of this day. Today was our day.”

Twenty members of San Dieguito Synchro are headed to the U.S. Age Group National Synchronized Swimming Championships in Federal Way, Washington this June. They earned their berth with an impressive showing at the Southern California Regional Champi-onships held in La Mirada, Calif. on May 21.

Competing against the top synchronized swim clubs from Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside and San Diego, San Dieguito Synchro’s 13-15-year-old and 11-12-year-old teams took silver medals. The 16-17 team took silver too, as did the club’s 16-17 soloist, Cora Kohn of Carmel Valley. This will be the third trip to the national championships for the lo-cal club, which was founded just 7 years ago and now has over 70 swimmers.

Head coach Barbara Strenk is excited for her teams. “The girls set their sights on the na-tional championships last fall and they’ve been working very hard all year toward that goal. I am very proud of their accomplishments!” San Dieguito Synchro will hold synchro sum-mer camp again this year. Swimmers interested in trying this fun sport are invited to attend the club’s Introduction to Synchronized Swimming Camp, August 9-12, 2011, at Cathedral Catholic High School. For information about the camp and our synchro programs, visit www.sdsynchro.org or contact Barbara Strenk at (760) 633-3034.

HAVE A QUESTION FOR DAVE?Contact him a [email protected] or visit www.davestall.com

SPONSORED BY:

Q. Bob: I have a couple of cars that are classics but I need to store them outside due to lack of storage space. I had e-mailed you before about getting the cars ready for outside storage but since I have done what you suggested, I now found mice or rat droppings in and around the engine compartments. I read that mice and rats love the rubber insulation in the engine compartments of old cars. What would you suggest on how to protect my cars from rodents? One more thing: I have prize winning dogs and can’t afford to let them get into any sort of

poison that you might suggest lying around the base of the vehicles. I value your suggestions and hope you can help me here.

A. Dave: Not only do they like the insulation, but under the hood of a car is a better place to live than on the ground or in a pile of logs or leaves — wherever the little varmints live. You really have three choices: One, bag the car completely. There are companies that make bags you drive your vehicle inside of and secure it airtight. A little expensive, but it works. Another way is to make your own bag out of tarps, drive on top of one and drape the second tarp on top and duct tape it shut. Or, you can sprinkle rat poison on top of the engine or put the poison in little bags like the old tobacco bags and secure it to the vehicle. Constant inspection and a big burly cat would be helpful too! Good luck.

Q. Rob: My dad and I are disagreeing on a tire product that is used to keep the sides of the tire shiny. I say it is a lubricant to help extend the life of the sidewall; my dad says it is just a cosmetic effect. We both detail our tires, but our reasoning is different. What is your take on tire dressing?

A. Dave: I hate to do this to you, but you are both right. The tire dressings out there today have a dual role. Lubricate and protect the sides from sun damage and to give the tire a new look. The main reason is protection so I guess you are more right than your dad. Scary!

Q. Roger: My wife and I are having our 30th wedding anniversary and I would like to buy her a new car. She has some very unusual demands: No automatic transmission, no leather, no sunroof and it has to be a 2010 or 2011 Cadillac Escalade and it has to be painted yellow! I have not had the nerve to drive down to a Cadillac dealer and ask if this could be done. I did check the Internet and could not find the color or manual transmission in an Escalade, so I guess my question is, can you have a dealer-ship order you a custom vehicle from Cadillac?

A. Dave: Now you know why there are so many different types of cars on the road today. Everyone has their own tastes. I must admit, your wife seems to walk to the tune of a different type of automotive-drum altogether! What you’re looking for is not available: Only black, blue, silver, red and white with different names. The paint and interior could be done by an aftermarket firm. As for the manual trans-mission…break out your checkbook. It can be done, but is it worth the price? Maybe buy a used Escalade, then you can do what you want with it and not worry about the warranty.

Solana Beach Sun

Baseball:On a day when Cathedral Catholic’s

high-powered offense was held in check, the Dons had to rely on the arm of pitching standout Daniel Camarena.

Fortunately for the Dons, Camarena hap-pens to have one special arm.

The University of San Diego-bound southpaw tossed a complete game six-hitter in a 1-0 victory over Ramona in a San Diego Section Div. III quarterfinal on May 27.

The Dons, who are seeking their third ti-tle in four years, were scheduled to meet Monte Vista in the semifinals on May 31.

Camarena struck out six batters and al-lowed one walk.

His bat was a decisive factor too. The Dons scored the game’s only run in

the fifth when Camarena doubled in Stephen Gonsalves.

The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 28-4.

*****Torrey Pines went through a play-in, ex-

perienced a first-round loss, and lived to tell about it.

The Falcons took the hard road, but they advanced to the semifinals after a 12-4 loser’s bracket victory over San Pasqual on May 28.

Torrey Pines was scheduled to play Gross-mont in the semis on May 31, with the Fal-cons needing two wins to advance to the dou-ble-elimination tournament’s Div. I finals.

The Falcons defeated Eastlake 10-5 in a May 24 play-in.

They lost to San Pasqual 4-0 the next day, but they stayed alive by beating Mission Hills 6-3 on May 27, and then the San Pasqual playoff rematch.

Morgan Oliver and Kyle Johnson each had two hits including a home run, and Jack Mitchell added a three-run homer to lead the Falcons in the San Pasqual game.

Oliver and Brian Thene each had two hits to lead the Falcons in the Mission Hills game.

In a surprising move in the second San Pasqual game, seldom used pitcher Sam Wi-senberg made a spot start. The move paid off for the Falcons, with Wisenberg allowing one run in four innings of four-hit ball.

Taylor Murphy led the Falcons offensive-ly, going 3 for 4 with two doubles and six RBI.

Garrett Stubbs had three hits including a double and a home run, and Oliver had two hits and three RBI.

The Falcons improved their overall re-cord for the season to 25-10.

*****Santa Fe Christian defeated Calvary

Christian 3-1 to advance in the Div. IV quar-terfinals.

The victory followed a first-round 21-0 shellacking of Lutheran.

Nolan Gannon struck out 14 batters and

allowed one walk and one unearned run in a complete game five-hitter to lead the Eagles in the San Pasqual game.

Barrett Floyd had two hits and two RBI including a triple to lead the Eagles offensive-ly.

The Eagles improved their overall record for the season to 21-6.

Josh Estill had three hits including two homers and drove in six runs to lead the Ea-gles in the Lutheran game.

Jake McKinney had two hits and four RBI and Bobby Zarubin added two hits and three RBI.

The Eagles were scheduled to face San Pasqual in the semifinals of the double-elimi-nation tournament, with San Pasqual needing to beat the Eagles twice to advance to the fi-nals.

The Eagles improved their overall record the season to 21-6.

Softball:Torrey Pines was eliminated from the San

Diego Section Div. I double-elimination play-offs after a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Rancho Bernardo in a May 26 game that went eight innings.

The Falcons lost to Grossmont 2-1 in the first round on May 20, but stayed alive by beating Carlsbad 6-3 the next day and East-lake 6-3 on May 24.

Falcons pitching standout Rachel Nasland took the loss in the Rancho Bernardo game despite a great effort. She struck out nine batters and allowed one run on eight hits and no walks.

Julia Yacker had two hits and three RBI to lead the Falcons in the Eastlake game.

The Falcons concluded their season with a 23-11-1 overall mark.

*****Cathedral Catholic was eliminated from

the Div. III playoffs after losing to Ramona 9-7 and University City 12-2 in May 26 games.

Riley Price had three hits including a home run and two RBI to lead the Dons in the Ramona game.

The Dons concluded their season with a 17-13 overall record.

Golf:Torrey Pines won the San Diego Section

title in decisive fashion.The Falcons shot a 737 team score in the

two-day tournament at Coronado Golf Course that ended on May 26, finishing a whopping 36 strokes ahead of second-place La Jolla Country Day. Jay Hwang led the Fal-cons and finished third overall, shooting a combined 139 (he shot a 68 the first day, and a 71 the second day) on an 18-hole par-72 course.

Michael Kim tied for sixth shooting a combined 146, and Robert Gojuangco fin-ished tied for 12th, shooting a combined 149.

Former NFL coach works his plan

BY CATHERINE KOLONKOContributor

Bacterial meningitis caused Kyla Winters of Carmel Valley to lose both her legs to amputation but she can walk again and still considers herself lucky.

In the summer of 2009, she was with a group of friends when she sud-denly felt awful and told them to get her to a hospital, quick. She recalls telling them somewhat prophetically that she was dying and that they needed to call an ambulance. She was rushed to Scripps Mercy Hospital emergency department in Hillcrest.

“Within 24 hours I had kidney fail-ure,” says Winters, 39, who relies on the memory of her twin sister to tell her sto-ry. Much of what happened for the next three months that Winters remained in the hospital is a blur. She recalls nothing of her stint in the hospital intensive care unit (ICU), partly, doctors explained, be-cause of a condition called ICU psycho-sis, when the body undergoes such daily stress that the memory tends to fail.

“I was in ICU four weeks,” said Win-ters. “I don’t remember being in the hos-

pital.”Doctors had conducted numerous

tests, a CT scan, and x-rays and were fair-ly certain that there was no brain dam-age, said Liana Thomas, Winters’ twin sister who took the first flight to San Di-ego upon hearing of her sister’s hospital-ization.

“We were all worried because men-tally she would be awake but kind of de-lirious, and meningitis often will affect the brain,” Thomas said.

Doctors in the emergency depart-ment quickly administered antibiotics. One more hour without medical inter-vention and she might have died, says Winters, a couple hours earlier and she might now have more limbs.

“You die very, very quickly,” Winters said, describing what she later learned about the disease.

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord and can result from a bacteri-al, fungal, or viral infection. Bacterial meningitis like that which Winters expe-

Del Mar resident Dennis Green, a former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and Arizo-na Cardinals, has lived his life by a simple motto: “Plan your work and work your plan.” It has served him well. During the 1990s, he had the most successful coaching record in the National Football League (NFL) — and, in fact, he is one of the most successful coaches in the league’s histo-ry. Green also has the highest winning percent-age in the Vikings’ 40-year history: The team’s 15-1 season in 1998 is the second best for most points in a season in NFL history.

Green grew up in the inner city of Harris-burg, Penn. He lost his parents early in life, as his mother and father died by the time he was 13. He became a star halfback with the University of Iowa Hawkeyes and graduated cum laude from the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in finance. As a young man he participated in ath-lete black power anti-segregation and anti-preju-dice stands.

Prior to coaching in the NFL, Green — as head coach — turned around the losing college football programs at Northwestern and Stanford universities. Throughout his career, he stayed committed to helping kids from the inner city. During every season, Green designated one day a week as “community day,” during which he and his players volunteered at churches, schools and local Boys & Girls Clubs. He has given generously of his time and money to many charities and community organizations.

Green is now the head coach and general manager of the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League. Green also sits on the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito Board of

There’s a new move-ment on the Torrey Pines High School campus and you’ll find it in the dance studio. Dressed all in black, the students there are en-gaged, lively and happy to be in a classroom free of desks where they can express themselves through dance.

On their birthdays they have to use their bodies to spell out their names in front of the class—yes, even a “W” is possible with this crew.

Last week the sea of black t-shirts was acces-sorized by a stream of tulle as tutus were trimmed for the big upcoming school dance show, the Expression Session. To be held on June 11 at 7 p.m. in the school gym, the year-end showcase will also feature art and film in addi-tion to 24 choreographed dances ranging from hip hop to modern to a fun tribute to “*NSYNC.”

Torrey Pines may be known more for athletics than art, but this year the dance team was among the sports teams bringing home championships. The lyrical and jazz group won the

Dance Drill Nationals in Anaheim on March 27.

The dance department’s building hype and winning ways could be attributed to director Sarah Kaye, who joined the staff two years ago and has watched excit-edly as she has tripled the number of students taking dance.

Kaye was a professional dancer for over 20 years, dancing modern and ballet locally with McCaleb Dance in La Jolla and the Mojalet Dance Collective. She retired in 2006, her body tired from years of fulfilling her child-hood dream.

After Kaye was hired on as a guest artist at Canyon Crest Academy, she realized she really enjoyed the experi-ence of teaching dance so she went back to school to get her teaching credential, finally landing at Torrey Pines.

“I love it here, I couldn’t be happier,” Kaye said of her duties teaching “dance PE” and dance teams.

Kaye has worked hard to incorporate modern dance and new forms of movement into the curriculum. At first the students resisted, it took

them awhile to open their minds to it and for Kaye to break through.

“It’s so different,” said junior dancer Perry Katz. “At first I was confused and thought it was weird but it taught me more about my dancing because modern is the core for every style. I re-ally do respect her for teach-ing us that.”

Kaye said she hopes to never stop pushing and chal-lenging her students to try new things.

“The one thing I learned, being a new teacher, was the more you expect, the more you get from the kids,”

Kaye said. “I’ve been relent-less on discipline and they’ve produced a lot more work, they’ve grown and gotten better.”

This year 96 students showed up to audition for the dance team. With the in-terest up and talent high, Kaye was able to field a JV and varsity dance team.

The dance team has 50 members, performing as spir-ited halftime entertainment at football games and also making appearances this year at basketball and lacrosse games.

Since 2005, the dance team has also had coach Mi-

chael Langford, a profession-al in hip hop, modern and jazz, who also runs his own dance company in San Diego called On the Edge Dance Company.

Langford handles the hip hop, getting students to pop, lock and do work.

The dance department also has a 10-member hip hop crew—“We have b-boys!” Kaye exclaimed in amazement, referencing their talented and very popular break dancers. “That’s why I love it here, it’s just so excit-ing.”

The small jazz and lyri-cal group was the one that made school history at the Dance Drill Nationals, bring-ing the huge first place tro-phy and the judge’s award of excellence back to the Torrey Pines studio.

“They’re the dream team,” said Kaye.

The team includes Tara Aftahi, Caylee Shimizu, Mad-ison Tencer, Alyssa Wright, Kelsey Richards, Perry Katz and Janelle Wen—seven girls, all best friends who are drama free and committed to dance, Kaye said.

At the competition they performed two award-win-

ning routines, winning first place in lyrical with an emo-tional routine that “makes you cry it’s so beautiful,” Kaye said.

They won third place in jazz performing the “Witches of Oz,” a modern, funky piece with Dorothy twisting through a tornado of six wicked witches.

The girls all broke down in tears when they won the competition.

“This year has been my favorite part of all four years of dance,” said senior Kelsey Richards. “It was really satis-fying to win after four years of a lot of pain and suffer-ing,”

Both routines will be performed at the “Expression Session,” giving the audience a little peek at the new movement at Torrey Pines.

“I want to show the rou-tines off,” said Kelsey, who is headed to Notre Dame in the fall. “I’m really excited to do them again because I want the entire school to see them.”

Tickets cost $5. To learn more about Torrey Pines Dance, call (858) 755-0125 or visit www.tpdanceonline.com.

L ooking to spice up your afternoon or evening? En Fuego Cantina & Grill, which means “on fire” in Spanish, is a hot spot in

town, often attracting large parties and hosting daily happy hours.

This two-level establishment offers several seating areas for guests to casually enjoy Mexican dishes, seafood and drinks.

Upstairs, which is street-level, is “La Tienda,” a chili pepper red-colored room that was the site of Del Mar’s first restaurant. Now the home of En Fuego’s wine bar, La Tienda is decorated with Mexican artwork handpicked by owner John Wingate, including religious symbols and mirrors.

The wine bar is adjacent to a covered, open-air sidewalk cafe, with heat lamps and flags in

various colors hanging from the rafters. The tables are bathed in yellow-hued light, and feature flower centerpieces in Patrón bottles.

Head down one of two staircases to reach the bar and the outdoor patio. Red and green chairs hug the U-shaped bar, and multicolored tables line the patio’s perimeter. Walk under a nearby arch and breathe in night-blooming jasmine — there’s another seating area that is shady and colorful, with bougainvillea and additional flags overhead.

Private dining is available for up to a dozen guests, and parties with a maximum of 200 people can be accommodated, Wingate said.

Live music can be heard twice a week — Michael Tiernan and Friends play acoustic music at 7 p.m. Wednesdays, and there’s also “Spanish music Sundays” on tap.

The food ranges from Mexican standards, such as enchiladas, tacos burritos and tamales, to more elaborate dishes, such as Filet Mignon Rancheros, Chile en Nogada and Guajillo Shrimp Skewers. A children’s menu is also offered.

Wingate said En Fuego’s most popular dish is Borracho Shrimp, sauteed with garlic, Cazadores

tequila, jalapeños and a touch of cream and served with Spanish rice, ranchero beans and tortillas. His personal favorite: Shrimp and Crab Enchiladas.

Desserts on the menu include a Bacardi Brownie, Banana Cheesecake Tower and Traditional Flan.

Beverages vary from wines and Champagnes to beers, tequilas, mojitos, margaritas and other mixed drinks. The restaurant’s signature margarita consists of Herradura Silver tequila, Cointreau, sweet and sour, and cranberry juice.

En Fuego holds themed evenings several times weekly that often “piggyback” on happy hour — Monday Night Madness, Taco Tuesday and Wine Wednesday, in which food and drinks are specially priced.

And each month the establishment works with a charity and will often hold a celebrity bartender night, in which 10 percent of sales go to the organization.

Some charities may opt for an evening where they can receive a percentage of proceeds from menu items ordered, or they may earn $1 from each sale of a specially created mixed drink for the entire month.

To make the most of the En Fuego experience, Wingate recommends that guests enter La Tienda, sample some wine, make a selection, and then choose food dishes based on their decision.

“Taco Tuesdays and Wine Wednesdays are both home runs” as well, he said.

En Fuego’s food can also be enjoyed outside the restaurant with catering around the Del Mar area, and takeout is available.

May is National Mental Health Awareness month. As part of its mission to educate the public about men-tal illness, and particularly bipolar disorder, Interna-tional Bipolar Foundation (IBPF) launched an essay contest open to all high school students in San Diego and Imperial counties. The topic of the essay was Changing the Future of Stigma; Bipolar Disorder in 2020. The winner would win season tickets to Cricket Amphitheater and read his/her essay at a mental health event featuring Margaret Trudeau, the wife of the for-mer Prime Minister to Canada.

James Stafford, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, wrote the winning essay and read it on stage to a crowd of over 350 people.

James has a 4.1 GPA, is an AP Scholar with Distinc-tion and a four-year starting varsity soccer player and three-year starting baseball player. He will be attending Whittier College in the fall and majoring in chemistry. If being athletically and academically gifted isn’t enough, he also plays the trumpet, clarinet and guitar.

Prior to writing the essay, James says he thought he knew everything about the disease. He was surprised to learn that there was a lot he didn’t know. To read James’ winning essay go to www.delmartimes.net and type in “James Stafford” in the search file.

The mission of the International Bipolar Foundation is to eliminate bipolar disorder through the advancement of research; to promote care and support services; and to erase as-sociated stigma through public education. If you would like more information, please visit our web site at www.InternationalBipolarFoundation.org or contact Program Manager Ash-ley Reitzin: [email protected].

TPHS Visual and Performing Arts WeekWhat were previously

only two days of “VPA Day” and “For Art’s Sake,” is now an entire week for the 2,600-plus students and staff of the Torrey Pines High School community who are celebrating the arts. Kicking off the week prior to Memorial Day they had the opportunity to ex-perience and repeat the word “WOW” over and over as an impressive num-ber of visual and perform-ing arts students of this tal-ented student body strut-ted their stuff under the di-rection of a diverse but in-credibly talented group of teachers. On Tuesday, May 24, the visual artists held an opening reception in the magically transformed gallery space of what is normally the aging and tired Fine Arts building

classrooms. The “For Art’s Sake” exhibit showcased artwork

throughout the week from more than 200 student artists with proceeds from sales enriching the visual arts pro-gram. On Thursday the talented performing artists of award-winning dancers, musicians, singers and actors packed the Torrey Pines gymnasium for three energetic shows throughout the day. This ASB, staff, and artists’ col-laboration to present such an amazing level of entertain-ment took months to pull together. With limited resourc-es but no limit to talent the week of April 24-27 was ser-endipitous and appreciated by everyone who had the privilege of experiencing this growing community of ex-ceptional talent at Torrey Pines High School.

The works of some 200 artists and master craftsman will fill the Warren Field on the east campus of USCD from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 18-19 at the 25th annual La Jolla Festival of the Arts. New this year will be craft beers and fine wines.

The festival doubles as a benefit for the Torrey Pines Kiwanis Foundation and its work on behalf of San Diegans living with disabilities, including many returning veterans.

Guests will be treated to art demonstrations, book signings, a car show, musical enter-tainment and international foods area. Children can try their hands at art projects, games and other activities. There will also be a silent auction and raffles.

Admission is $10, free to ages 10 and younger. Parking is free at Genesee Avenue and Campus Point Drive. For more information, call (858) 683-3700 or visit www.lajollaartfesti-val.org.

During its May 25 meet-ing, the City Council unani-mously voted to put this project out to bid, and hopes to be able to award a con-struction contract by July. The project budget is about $419,000, but the final bid will determine the exact amount.

The city has had these design plans in place for a number of years, but held off on construction until after the recent completion of the Interstate-5 and Lomas Santa Fe interchange project.

tor’s center — along with Shoreline Beach Park at Shelter Island and the out-let of the San Luis Rey River in Oceanside.

The largest concen-tration of polluted beach-es in the county were near the border, including Border Field State Park, the Tijuana Slough Na-tional Wildlife Reserve and the south end of Im-perial Beach, according to the group’s 2010-11 Beach Report Card.

The group’s Beach Re-port Card assigns letter grades to beaches based on levels of weekly bacte-ria pollution.

No San Diego-area beaches were on Heal the Bay’s list of Top 10 “Beach Bummers,” but quite a few in the North County made the honor roll, meaning they never ex-ceeded state bacterial standards for ocean water

quality during dry weath-er.

They included:• in Oceanside, at Ty-

son and Forster streets and near the end of St.

Malo Road; • in Carlsbad, at the

end of Cerezo Drive and Palomar Airport Road;

• in Encinitas, the pipes surf break at San Eli-jo State Park and north of the park’s stairs, Cardiff State Beach south of the Charthouse and Seaside State Park;

• in Solana Beach, Fletcher Cove off Lomas Santa Fe Drive; and

• in Del Mar at the end of 15th Street.

Of 76 monitoring lo-cations, 93 percent re-ceived grades of either A or B in the report during dry weather.

The figure dropped to 72 percent after a rain-storm.

honor at a special school as-sembly earlier this year, just as she was about to go on maternity leave for the birth of her third child (son Cal-lan who is just 12 weeks old).

“It was overwhelming,” said Holohan. “I’m really lucky to teach in this dis-trict…I’m really honored be-cause there are so many amazing teachers in this dis-trict.”

Holohan was born and raised in Carmel Valley by parents John and Donna Mullen and is a Torrey Pines High School graduate. She and her husband, Paul, live in Del Sur with children James, 4; Ryann, 2 and baby Callan.

Holohan has been a teacher for 13 years, 12 of them in the Solana Beach School District and Solana Vista, which she said is a “home away from home”— she names her co-workers among her closest friends.

“I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else, it is such a warm and supportive school,” Holohan said.

Even though she came from a long line of teachers in her family, she had want-ed to be a veterinarian. Des-tiny came calling when, as part of one of her science classes at the University of Southern California, she had to teach a lesson to a class of inner-city students.

“I walked out of there and I couldn’t believe peo-ple got paid to do that for a living,” Holohan said. “I

thought ‘This is what I want to do.’”

She changed her major as soon as she could.

At Solana Vista, Holo-han has always taught sec-ond grade and her favorite subject to teach is reading.

Holohan said second graders come in just having learned to read and by the time they move on to third grade, they have grown tre-mendously in their ability and take ownership of their skill. She loves watching that transformation.

“I really do think it’s the perfect age and the per-fect grade to teach. They still have that ‘joie de vivre,’ they love life, they love coming to school and it’s re-ally fun to be around their energy and excitement.”

Platt said whenever she

visits Holohan’s classroom, the students are excited, en-gaged and challenged.

“There is never a teach-ing moment lost in her classroom and she makes learning fun and meaning-ful, providing rich, hands-on experiences that are de-signed for each child’s in-structional level,” Platt said.

Holohan teaches three days a week, sharing her class with Amy Trusso. The other two days a week she serves as the BTSA coordina-tor, helping new teachers become more effective class-room leaders and develop their practices.

“That allows me to make an impact in a bigger sense, not just in my own classroom,” Holohan said. “I feel like I’m really getting to make a difference.”

came during their 16th annual Golden Watchdog and Golden Fleece Awards Dinner on May 19.

“This ‘throwback’ Golden Watchdog Award from the Taxpayers Asso-ciation recognizes that we are at the front edge of government cost-savings,” said RSF Fire District Board Chair James Ash-craft. “We are pleased the agreement has thus far been a success, to the ex-tent that other agencies have contacted us to see about using our arrange-

ment as a template for similar partnerships.”

Tom Hickerson, RSF Fire District board mem-ber, added, “Our goal is to deliver the best services possible to all members of our district. This agree-ment has allowed us to continue providing excel-lent service to our resi-dents while saving the district money.”

Del Mar City Council Member Mark Filanc said, “This is one of the pro-grams that truly is a win for all. The City of Del Mar is very happy with the results and it’s great to be recognized for our ef-forts.

“The bottom-line of this agreement is that we are doing much more with much less and that means better public safe-ty with better fiscal re-sponsibility. We are com-mitted to continuing to look for ways to improve service and reduce costs.” says Encinitas City Coun-cil Member Jerome Stocks.

Solana Beach City Council Member Dave Roberts said, “In this day and age, we all need to do whatever we can to maxi-mize efficiencies and save public money while pro-viding top-notched cus-tomer service.”

rienced is a respiratory condition that is acutely life threatening. Also known as meningococce-mia, symptoms include high fever, headaches, a rash, and stiffness in the neck.

Winters learned later that she caught the menin-gitis strain from another person. “You catch it like a cold,” she said. “I was run down. I’m sort of a worka-holic.”

Winters was hospital-ized for more than three months. Before turning the corner to recovery, her blood pressure plummeted several times and she suf-fered three cardiac arrests and respiratory and kidney failure, resulting in ampu-tation of both legs and all fingers. She was dying from the meningitis and doctors at one point gave her less than 10 percent chance of survival, she said.

The effects of meningi-tis left her legs, fingers and thumbs septic with disease that ultimately required amputation. Winters gig-gles slightly and explains that she has gross photos of her blackened limbs be-fore they were amputated in October of 2009.

“Basically all the blood rushes to your organs to try to save your life,” she said.

She has since had sev-eral operations to stretch skin and sculpt what is left of her hands in a way that allows her to grasp objects. A metal plate implanted in her hand serves somewhat like the thumb that was amputated.

“It gives me my func-tionality because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to pick things up,” said Winters, demonstrating how it works by lifting a prosthet-ic leg that she has just re-moved in order to sit more comfortably.

More operations on her hands are planned us-ing bolts that will have to be turned six times a day in order to lengthen the bone. In the meantime, she is learning new ways to do things without fingers.

After her hospitaliza-tion, Winters devoted months to rehabilitation at Vibra Hospital and Sharp Hospital and Rehabilita-tion where she learned how to use her new pros-thetic legs and reshaped, fingerless hands. Her cour-

age to overcome adversity will be recognized by Sharp HealthCare Foundation during its annual Victories of Spirit event on June 3. She is among five people to receive the Eagle Spirit Award that symbolizes the Navajo sign of the most potent healing power.

“We celebrate not only their amazing stories but celebrate their commit-ment to giving back to the community to benefit oth-ers,” Sharp’s System Direc-tor of Rehabilitation Ser-vices David Brown said in a news release.

The most challenging moments of Winters’ reha-bilitation happened when she tried to stand for the first time. At first she was afraid to try to stand using prosthetic legs. Her doctors were concerned about her progress because the pro-cess from standing to walk-ing is usually gradual, she said.

“It took me a while to get to the standing posi-tion but then when I was able to stand, I pretty much started walking right away,” Winters said.

“So at first they were like ‘what’s taking her so long.’ Then I was immedi-ately walking and they were surprised by that.”

Winters has set a goal to return in a year to her position as chief develop-ment officer for the Alpha Project for the Homeless, where she worked for the past 13 years. While on disability leave, she volun-teers as often as possible for the Alpha Project and mentors people like herself who have lost limbs to am-putation.

Her rehabilitation has been helped along by oth-ers without limbs who she met on a web site where they share tips about how to function as amputees. She learned to place color-ful, sticky plastic flags like

those used for documents on her credit cards to make it easier to pull them from her wallet or an ATM ma-chine. And when she first started driving a car again, it was friends at the web site that informed her that she did not have to use special equipment just be-cause she wears prosthet-ics.

Winters’ twin sister, husband and children moved from Alameda to

San Diego to help with her recovery. From the begin-ning, Liana played a major role in her rehabilitation and wanted to do every-thing possible to help, in-cluding donate limbs if necessary, Winters said. Ul-timately, she donated a kidney that was transplant-ed into Winters’ body in the fall of 2010, allowing her to finally come off kid-ney dialysis.

Initially, her sister was pregnant with her second child and therefore unable to donate a kidney right away. So Winters endured 10 hours of daily dialysis for a year while waiting for

the right time for the transplant. Liana and her 4-year-old son kept the di-alysis machine operating with daily changes in liq-uids to keep it running smoothly.

“My nephew helped,” Winters said. “He knew what buttons to push.”

“It was pretty uncom-fortable,” she recalled about life during dialysis. “I’m so glad to be off it.”

Whenever possible, Winters likes to encourage people to learn about the meningitis vaccine and to consider being an organ donor. She says she is liv-ing proof that organ dona-tion saves lives. She is also fortunate that because her kidney came from her twin she does not require as much immunosuppressant medication to prevent her body from rejecting her new organ.

Winters is excited about the next step in her rehabilitation which will include learning to walk with a different set of legs that can accommodate high heels. While she views herself as a tough and committed fighter for better lives for people who are homeless, she also has another side to her person-ality that has always loved heels, lip gloss, and being feminine.

Before her illness, peo-ple teased her about why she drove such a “junky

car” and she often replied it was because she liked her shoes, joked Winters. She liked them so much, that the twins now laugh at Lia-na’s initial reaction to hearing the word amputa-tion because her first thoughts were how devas-tated her sister would be if she could no longer wear high heels.

Other changes that Winters has had to adjust to include temporarily giv-ing up her beloved pet greyhound Diego. She looks forward to the day they can be reunited but for now he lives with a friend because she is un-

able to take him for daily walks.

She is still getting used to living without her natu-ral legs and sometimes falls because she forgets she doesn’t have them. Despite her setbacks and the chal-lenges ahead, she is grate-ful for the love of family and looks at life as she did before her medical ordeal, with hope and optimism, she said.

“I’m so lucky to have a twin. I don’t look like I’m lucky but I am. Not a lot of people survive bacterial meningitis and most of them don’t have identical twins.”

A cheery yellow house with a white picket fence sits at the corner of Fresca Court. A path lined with blooming flowerbeds leads you inside, to a sunlit foyer filled with art. The paint-ings on these walls share the storybook-like quality of the home in which they are hung.

One painting, for ex-ample, depicts a quaint vil-lage on a riverbank, while another shows a dirt road winding into a picturesque countryside. The trained eye would quickly recog-nize these as textbook ex-amples of Impressionist paintings, and one might take them to be the works of greats such as Monet, Pissarro or Sisley. These paintings, however, are the work of John Modesitt, the owner of this Solana Beach home.

Modesitt has spent de-cades studying Impression-ism, and now 40 years lat-er, his work hangs on walls across the world, including the Butler Institute of American Art Museum, the New Britain Museum of American Art, and the auc-tion rooms of Christie’s in London and Paris. Modesitt recently spent a few months on the shores of the Loire River in Amboise, France, where he finished a collection of 30 paintings. These works will soon be shipped off to public and private collections over-seas, but before they leave Solana Beach, Modesitt is inviting the community to

come view the collection. “These are all paintings

of places I like to be,” Modesitt said gazing at one painting of a lush river-bank with a small boat in the distance. “That boat was there for just a few mo-ments,” he said pointing to it. “I remember I had to quickly capture it in the painting before it sailed away. Each one of these paintings has a story be-hind it.”

Modesitt hopes to share those stories with anyone who is interested in hearing them during his month-long home exhibition.

“I see this as a chance to build a sense of commu-nity, because neighbors should know each other,”

he said. “Part of the joy of art is showing it, and being able to talk about it.”

And when it comes to talking about Impression-ism, Modesitt is your man. He discovered a passion for it when he was just 12 years old, thanks in part to his father, who worked as a nuclear physicist but was “simply fascinated” by art and therefore had a stellar collection in the home. It was, in fact, his father’s poster collection of French Impressionist paintings that planted the seed for Modesitt’s career.

“I just knew I was born to be an artist. I couldn’t get it out my head. It was like ‘give me the brush, give me the paint.’ It was

that clear to me.” Modesitt started study-

ing art at Santa Barbara City College under painter Robert Frame, and by the early ‘80s he moved to New York City, where he soon became disenchanted with the domination of modern art in the galleries and non-disciplined approach to painting. Modesitt elect-ed to go against the grain, dedicating several years to the Renaissance practice of copying the artwork of masters. He spent days at a time copying artworks at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Art Institute of Chicago, learning about the work of great Impres-sionist painters literally stroke by stroke. Though it was a painstaking process, it was critical for him to learn true Impressionism, which is so uncommon in today’s art world that Modesitt has been the only living artist in some shows.

“I wasn’t given much talent but I was given a tre-mendous amount of pas-sion. It made for a tortur-ous journey,” Modesitt said of his 40 years as an artist. There were bouts of burn-out, and years he wanted to put down the brush for good. But he kept return-ing to the easel, often times thanks to encouragement from his wife Toshiko, whom he met while work-ing as a glassblower to pay the bills in New York City.

Modesitt and his wife have lived for more than 20 years in Solana Beach, where they have raised

their daughter, who is now attending Torrey Pines High School. When he’s not walking his dogs around Solana Cirlce, Modesitt is likely walking the back-country of France, where he keeps a studio. Modesitt retreats there to paint, which he jokingly calls “going into monk mode.”

“When I’m out there painting, it consumes me. It’s trancelike. I will put in 17-hour days that feel like an hour. I camp out with my materials, and as long as I have enough energy and baguette, I keep going.”

Modesitt said it’s espe-cially easy to fall into his “monk mode” in the re-mote reaches of France, where inspiration is nearly everywhere you look. The village he most recently lived in was built in the year 509 and is unspoiled by modern time, making it a paradise for an Impres-sionist painter. Impression-

ism is all about idealism, or “as a child would say, ‘it looks like Disneyland.’” For that reason, you won’t find any cars in Modesitt’s paint-ings, but you will find cas-tles. It’s this fairytale quality that first captured Modes-itt’s heart when he was 12, and it’s what has fueled his passion all these years.

“Why Impressionism? Because it’s a different world, and that’s where I want to be. If I never sold anything, I’d be happy be-cause what matters is that I’m doing what I meant to do.”

If you are interested in viewing Modesitt’s latest collection at his home, please contact him by call-ing 858-232-8906 or email him at [email protected]. For more informa-tion about Modesitt and his artwork, check out www.americanimpression-ist.net.

The Don Diego Fund has awarded $5,000 college scholarships to four outstanding, college-bound, San Diego County high school seniors. The Fund annually provides scholarships to youth who have been associated with activities at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and who plan to pursue higher education.

Each $5,000 scholarship is awarded to a student in one of four categories, This year’s recipients/categories are: Katelyn O’Brian, FFA; Brett Huff, 4H, Daniel Menno, employee; and TPHS senior Prithvi Undavalli, exhibitor. The students will be recognized at The Don Diego Fund’s Doobie Brothers Dinner and Concert Gala taking place at the San Diego County Fair on June 21, 2011. Ticket packag-es are still available at several levels, including individual tickets for $150. For details, see www.dondiegofund.org.

A selection committee comprised of Don Diego Board members chose the winning re-cipients after conducting panel interviews with impressive finalists culled from dozens of applicants. Executive Director Chana Mannen states, “The selection process is rigorous, comprehensive and competitive. Prospective recipients are evaluated based on many crite-ria, including academics, school activities, community service and motivation to succeed. Each year’s group is extraordinary and each student is so deserving; the Don Diego Class of 2011 is certainly no exception. Their schools, talents and fields of interest vary, but these four students share a passion for excellence and a wholehearted focus on their future.”

Step aside, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg: the new generation has arrived in the person of TPHS senior Prithvi Undavalli, whose computer work already has gone be-yond what UCSD Assistant Professor Ross Walker says he has witnessed “of some top PhD candidates.” In addition to earning accolades such as “brilliant,” a “natural leader” and a “fast learner,” Prithvi is a successful entrepreneur who is creator-CEO of T-Tek Computer Re-pair. He traces his interest in technology to a broken cellphone that he took apart as a young child. He combines this interest with a compassion for the less fortunate and has developed what he says is “a new wireless transmission infrastructure for FM communications devices that could be utilized in underdeveloped countries to transmit vital information.” Upon graduating from Torrey Pines High with a 3.98 GPA, Prithvi will take his considerable talents to MIT.

North Coast Rep tops at ‘Hats Off to San Diego’ fundraiser

North Coast Repertory Theatre of Solana Beach took first prize at Hats Off to San Di-ego, a fundraiser held at The Prado in Solana Beach on May 19. Holly Smith Jones, a long-time Solana Beach resident, chaired the event.

North Coast Repertory competed against 10 other organizations, including the Friends of East County Arts (second place), Star of India Auxiliary (3rd place), the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary and others. The major beneficiaries of the event were “Just in Time for Foster Youth,” which helps youth who have aged out of the foster care system at 18 bridge into a productive life, and ARTs–A Reason To Survive, a San Diego based non-profit organi-zation that “believes that the visual, performing, and literary arts can literally transform lives – especially those of kids.”

The Saint Therese of Carmel parish and Notre Dame Academy will present a play, “Jo-seph — The Prince of Dreams,” on Sunday, June 5, at 2 p.m. in the Parish Hall. This is the epic tale of Joseph, who, as depicted in more than a dozen chapters of the book of Genesis, is chosen by God to save his people from famine. Although his jealous brothers conspire against him, and sell him to the Egyptians as a slave, Joseph triumphs through his ability to interpret dreams for the Pharaoh.

The whole family will enjoy the songs of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber with the charming set design by Michelle Abrams and Tinka Peterka with inventive costumes by Chickie Moore. Joeseph is played by Tony Krzmarzick. The narrator is Joy Marsella with the Pharaoh portrayed by Jack Breitenbecher. A great supporting cast with choreography by Gregory Moody and accompanist Bob Infantino make for a thoroughly enjoyable show.

The parish hall is located at 4355 Del Mar Trails Rd. in Carmel Valley. Admission to this event is free. There will be refreshments and arts and crafts after the show. All are welcome.

Canyon Crest Academy student Sam Cook, 17, said he “gets high” from “cooking deli-ciously scrumptious meals.” Playing 12 different instruments sends Oregon student Emily Grether, 13, into a state of bliss. With his love of swimming, New York student Pau Vilchez, 16, aspires to beat Michael Phelps one day.

Aside from being exceptionally driven, these teens have something else in common. They’ve all made a choice to pursue their passions over using drugs, a reflection of the mes-sage in the 2011 Natural High Contest. And these teens are three of the six national winners. The winning video in the high school category was a group entry belonging to Sam Cook, Jack Parzaile and Brica Lampe from Canyon Crest Academy.

The contest asked youths to express via video, picture or essay, their Natural High and how using drugs and alcohol could keep them from pursuing it to the fullest. The contest was promoted in schools, on naturalhigh,org, and Facebook and YouTube for a shot at win-ning $250.

Earl Warren Middle School recently hosted its annual Career Day. During the event, stu-dents had a chance to roam among information booths, chatting one-on-one with profes-sionals about their jobs. The kids had quite a selection, too. This year’s lineup included art-ists, dentists, musicians, lifeguards, surgeons, actors, doctors, architects, zoologists and engi-neers — just to name a few of the 40 or so professionals who participated. The event was also a chance for students to learn about the real-world applications of some of their class work, like how fractions and equations come in handy when you are a chef, for example.

BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMANContributor

This time of year 1 in every 5 of us is clobbered with itchy eyes, a runny nose, nasal congestion, a scratchy gul-let, and serial sneezing – gazuntite!

Seasonal allergies, aka hay fever or rhinitis (roughly translated from the Latin for “rhinoceros nose”) is caused by frater-nizing with assorted pol-lens from birch tree and grass to ragweed and alder that come out full boar in the spring. These pesky al-lergies can be lessened by amping up certain foods and cutting out others. Here’s a blow by blow on what to eat and what to de-lete to get through this blooming season. The Big Buzz

Allergy gurus recom-

mend eating locally-sourced honey (preferably organic) to keep seasonal symptoms at bay. Multi-tasking pollen both triggers seasonal allergies and is made into honey by bees. By some weird and won-derful reason, when local honey is ingested it seems to put the skids on symp-toms for many sufferers.

Since this close-to-home elixir contains the same pollen spores as the flowering plants and grass-es that caused the very al-lergic reaction to the hay fever sufferer, the current theory explains that it works like a homeopathic vaccination, producing an-tibodies to fend off the in-vader. Of course, honey is taboo for young children, whose immature immune systems cannot fend off the bacteria, making them vul-nerable to infant botulism.

Land of Milk and MucousAccording to the folks

at the venerable Mayo Clinic, “while drinking milk does not cause your body to make more phlegm

(mucous), it may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be.”

So when allergy symp-toms strike, go easy on the yoghurt and pizza. And if eggs also aggravate your al-lergies, standing advice, as always – moderation.Your Stinky Friend

Garlic by any other name (such as “Stinky Rose”) is just as fabulous a shield against viruses, bac-teria, inflammation, hyper-tension (it’s a natural blood-thinner), and even the occasional vampire. Raw garlic is loaded with allicin, a potent sulfur compound with immune boosting properties that has also been linked to warding off seasonal aller-gy symptoms.ABCs on Vitamins B and C

Studies have shown that taking C and B vita-mins, particularly B-12, may lessen hay fever symp-toms by lightening up stress and boosting the im-mune system so it operates

at optimum capacity. Bolster your B-12s

with a dollop of caviar on rye toast; add color and class to a frittata or pizza, pasta dishes or buckwheat blinis. Octopus has a motherload of B-12, when enjoyed in Japanese, Medi-terranean and Hawaiian dishes. Do a tentacle stir-fry, seafood cocktail or ci-oppino with other ome-ga-3 powerhouses like wild caught salmon, cod and bluefish.

Crab and lobster, other sea treasures rich in Bs, are divine steamed, broiled or in a bisque or salad. And if

you’re a diehard carnivore, do lamb in a ragu over egg noodles or braised with root veggies.

As for rich sources of Vitamin C, load up on apri-cots, green and red pep-pers, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Full of Vinegar

A home remedy for re-lieving allergy symptoms is a good ol’ glass of apple ci-der vinegar diluted with spring water. This can be warm or chilled, taken as a daily tonic or when aller-gies rear their ugly heads. The Evil Cousin

About 25 percent of seasonal allergy sufferers are also plagued with oral allergy syndrome charac-terized by itchiness, tin-gling or swelling of the mouth and lips.

Allergies to specific pollens create cross-reac-tions to certain foods such as fruits, veggies and nuts. So allergics who react to grass pollen may also react when eating peaches, cel-ery, watermelon, tomatoes and oranges. If ragweed is the culprit, watch out for

cantaloupe, cucumber, chamomile tea and sun-flower seeds. And for alder pollen allergies, be cautious of apples, almonds, peach-es, cherries and hazelnuts. For some, just cooking or peeling the fruits and veg-gies may diffuse oral aller-gy symptoms. In any event, if you suspect sensitivities, it’s best to see an allergist and get tested. Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

*** This easy, breezy dressing might also ward off hay fever.

5 tablespoons clover honey

3 tablespoons spicy mustard

1-1/2 tablespoons ap-ple cider vinegar

½-tablespoon Meyer lemon juice

Directions: In a bowl, whisk ingredients until blended. Refrigerate and use as a salad dressing, dip-ping sauce or condiment for burgers or sandwiches.

What to eat: That is the question for seasonal allergy sufferersThe Kitchen Shrink

on cruise missiles.In 1957, the Russians

launched Sputnik 1, the first of a series of earth-orbiting artificial satellites that ignit-ed the Cold War Space Race.

“And that was the next big stimulus for me,” Myers said.

The U.S. countered in 1961 with McDonnell Doug-las building a Mercury cap-sule that carried astronaut Allan Sheppard into space “sub-orbitally,” which meant he got into space but didn’t orbit the earth in space.

A month later, the Rus-sians countered by sending astronaut Yuri Gagarin into space for one orbit around the earth.

“It demonstrated to the world that the Russians had more power in their boost-ers than we had,” Myers said.

That’s when newly-elected President John F. Kennedy addressed Congress and announced the national goal of “landing a man on the moon” by the end of the decade.

North American-Rock-well won the contracts for building second stage and the engines for all three stages of the Saturn 5 rocket booster and later in 1961 for the Apollo Command and Service Modules.

The Apollo project manager from North Ameri-can-Rockwell and the proj-ect manager from NASA in Houston, Myers said, couldn’t get along. “They yelled at each other and had

a terrible time, partly be-cause NASA didn’t know how they were going to go the moon. They didn’t know whether they were go-ing to go directly to the moon and land the third stage or go by doing a lunar orbital rendezvous which we actually ended up doing. That was settled in late 1962, early 1963.”

Both program managers were replaced and, in 1964, for North American-Rock-well, Myers was appointed project manager for the building of the Apollo Com-mand Module and for the lunar-landing Service Mod-ule.

On Jan. 27, 1967, trage-dy struck when astronauts Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were killed in a cabin fire that broke out in the com-

mand module of Apollo 1 during a preflight test at Cape Canaveral in prepara-tion for what was to have been the first crewed Apollo earth-orbiting test flight scheduled for Feb. 21.

An investigation con-cluded that the most likely cause of the fire was a short circuit in a bundle of wires to the left and just in front of Command Pilot Gris-som’s seat.

“When we had that fire in 1967, many people thought we could not make our goal [of landing a man on the moon] by the end of the decade. It took 21 months to redesign the command module to make it safe. I say that because North American had origi-nally proposed to have the

hatch open outward … We thought opening outward was the best way to do it. NASA directed us in writing to have the hatch open in-ward.”

In the fire, Grissom was unable to open the inward-opening hatch.

“We spent 21 months redesigning to go back to our version which was the outward-opening hatch, to change the oxygen (supply) so it contained a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen so that if there were a fire it would not be near as powerful and we took out aluminum tubes that had flammable liquids in them and replaced them with stainless steel tubes because the fire was so intense it melted the alumi-num tubes.”

Despite the setback of 1967 tragedy, the Apollo program resumed and on July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 suc-cessfully lifted off on its way to land the first men on the moon on July 20 and to es-tablish its place in world his-tory. The entire journey to the moon and back took 195 hours, 18 minutes, 35 seconds.

Myers viewed the launch from the operations room with the senior man-agement of NASA and then flew to NASA Mission Con-trol in Houston, Texas, to monitor the remainder of the flight.

“The day they made it to the moon was fantastic,” Myers recalled. “By that time, it was the most impor-tant day of my life.”

Directors. Green has been honored by being inducted into the Boys & Girls Clubs National Hall of Fame. He and his wife Ma-rie are chairing the “Bright Futures Breakfast” on June 8 at 7:30 a.m. This compli-mentary breakfast at the Harper Branch will spot-light the many ongoing ef-forts by the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito to serve local youth.

1. What brought you to this neighborhood?

My wife Marie and I were on vacation in L.A. 16 years ago and decided

to drive down. We hap-pened upon the L’Auberage and loved it. We decided it would be the location of our wed-ding and we never looked back.

2. What makes this town special to you?

The people are nice and get along well, the weather is the best and it’s really an easy way of life here.

3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area?

I would provide a job for everybody who wants

and needs one.

4. Who or what in-spires you?

My kids, Vanessa and Zachary, inspire me every day.

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

My wife Marie, my de-ceased parents Bus and Anna Green, Paul Robe-

son, John F. Kennedy, Mother Teresa, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Bill Walsh.

6. Tell us about what you are currently reading.

A mystery set in the PGA Tour by Harlan Coben called “Back Spin.”

7. What is your most prized possession?

My National Hall of Fame Award from the Boys

and Girls Club of America and my International Hu-manitarian Award: They symbolize where I came from and how important it is to always give back and inspire others to do the same.

8. What do you do for fun?

I love to go to the beach, golf, go fishing, and enjoy the San Diego sun-sets.

9. Please describe your greatest accomplish-ment.

Starting my family, and continuing to love and care for them.

10. What is your mot-to or philosophy of life?

I have always felt it’s important to start every day with confidence and always hold your head high.

Pride of Del Mar AwardsSeveral Del Mar Garden Club members could be seen

walking around the village a couple of weeks ago checking out the vegetation adorning the store fronts along Camino del Mar. As previously announced, the club has begun a project giving recognition to business owners who have beautified the front of their shops or offices. The club mem-bers viewed a variety of plantings, including succulents, na-tive plants, perennial and seasonal flowers. Also considered was the maintenance of the flower boxes, lack of weeds and condition of the plants and surrounding areas.

The first “spring” 2011 recognition and certificates have been given to the following businesses: The “Best Succulents Containers” goes to Bella Villa, a full service beauty salon (Above, bottom row, right). Their window boxes contained a good variety of succulents, some even flowering during the spring season. Willis Allen brokerage firm has the “Most Colorful” containers (Above, top row, right). Their window boxes contained beautiful pink begonias that looked espe-cially colorful against the white framed windows of the busi-ness. A special honorable mention goes to newcomer to Del Mar, Ranch & Coast Plastic Surgery Center (Above, bottom row, left). They have added water features, beautiful hard-

scape and plants to highlight the entrance to their busi-ness.

Davidson/Design Line Interiors is awarded “Best All Around” recognition for the outstanding planter boxes containing a combination of seasonal flowers and peren-nial plants (Above, top row, left). They have consistently done an outstanding job of beautifying their office en-trance.

The Garden Club plans to continue to recognize vil-lage business owners and will award the certificates again in the fall. Any questions re-garding the project, contact [email protected].

Joseph and Diane Sampson, owners of Sampson California Realty, will host a seminar on investing and retiring in Mexico, specifically BAJA – Rosarito – Ensenada.

Joseph and Diane Sampson, long time real estate brokers in Carmel Valley, just returned from a real estate business trip to BAJA in May of this year. Having toured the numerous projects that have been completed in BAJA and those that are well underway it became very clear that the opportunity to invest or retire in Mexico was once again something to give se-rious consideration.

The event’s keynote speaker will be Richard Kiy, a noted expert on the subject of Mexi-co, who has co-authored a must-read document on “U.S. retirement trends in Mexican coastal communities” through the International Community Foundation.

The seminar will be educational and fun complete, with Mexican food and drinks com-pliments of the BAJA Real Estate group.

The seminar will be held at: Sampson California Realty, 12702 Via Cortina #101, Del Mar, CA 92014, on Thursday, June 9, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. A follow up bus tour will take place on June 18, leaving San Diego at 9 am.

To R.S.V.P for this special event, call 858-922-8777.

Ellen Bryson, of Coldwell Banker Del Mar, celebrated the 5th Annual Easter Basket Event, an annual event hosted by the Salvation Army’s Door of Hope. Bryson, in coordina-tion with her La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club, sponsored the event and provided the funds necessary to make over 30 Easter baskets for families served by the Door of Hope.

The Salvation Army’s Door of Hope houses The Haven and the Transitional Living Center. These social services programs are dedicated to providing assistance for unwed preg-nant teens and serves as a shelter for mothers and their children seeking guidance and pro-tection for domestically abusive situations. “Every child deserves an Easter basket and it was my great pleasure to serve as a chairperson on behalf of the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club to provide these families in need with a small token of hope during a challenging time of their lives,” said Bryson.

Ellen Bryson can be reached at Coldwell Banker Del Mar at (858) 755-0075 or by email at [email protected].
