Padre Dam site declared a Sanctified Native American Cemetary
T
he California Native
American Heritage
Commission (NAHC)
voted unanimously to declare
the site of a water district project in San Diego County a Native American ceremonial site
and sanctified cemetery, and
recommended steps, including relocating the project to an
alternative off-site location and
legal action, to protect it from
further desecration.
The Padre Dam Municipal
Water District had started
construction of a new reservoir
and pumping station at the site,
which is on approximately two
and a half acres south of I-8
near Lake Jennings Park Road
and Old Highway 80.
The site is a Kumeyaay
burial and ceremonial ground,
and the discovery of very high
densities of Native American
human remains, pottery shards
and other grave goods was
declared to be “unparalleled in
the San Diego County region,”
according to The Padre Dam
Municipal Water District’s own
experts.
After taking written and oral
testimony and making its ruling at a special hearing in San
Diego yesterday, the Commission also called on the state
Attorney General’s office to
take legal action to halt further
desecration, should the Padre
Dam Municipal Water District
ignore the mitigation measures
recommended by the NAHC
and resume construction at
the site.
The Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians was declared the
“Most Likely Descendents” of
the human remains discovered at the project site and
had requested the Commission conduct an investigation
to determine whether the site
was a sanctified cemetery
or ceremonial site. Letters
supporting Viejas’ position
were submitted at yesterday’s
hearing from the San Diego
East Chamber of Commerce,
Alpine-Mountain Empire
Chamber of Commerce, La
Mesa Chamber of Commerce
and the Alpine Historical
Society. Representatives from
other organizations and Native American tribal leaders
also appeared at yesterday’s
hearing to speak in support
of Viejas.
the Judge is set for June 25,
2010.
Earlier this month, a San
Diego Superior Court Judge
issued a temporary restraining order halting construction at the site. A preliminary
injunction hearing before
The Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians is a sovereign
Nation whose people have
inhabited the San Diego
County area for thousands of
years. The 1,600 acre Viejas
Indian Reservation is located
near Alpine, California, approximately 35 miles east of
San Diego. For more information on the history and current

San Vicente Dam raise update
by Patt Bixby
E
leven miles of tunneled
steel pipe for the San
Vicente Pipeline has been
welded together and installed.
The final job inside the pipeline is being completed by
applying cement mortar lining
to the pipe interior to prevent
corrosion. The San Vicente
Portal stretches 11 miles from
San Vicente Dam to Mercy
Road (I-15).
Shimmick Construction
Company Inc./Obeyashi Corporation Joint Venture has
been hired to do the work that
will add 117 feet to the height
of the dam, which currently
stands 220 feet high. When
completed, the dam raise will
be the tallest dam raise in the
United States and the tallest
of its type in the world. It will
store an additional 152,000
acre feet of water, more than
doubling the reservoirs water
storage.
This phase of construction
will raise the dam with roller
compacted concrete. Roller
compacted concrete takes less
time, water and money than
San Vicente Dam.
conventional concrete but is
just as strong. The downstream
side of the dam will have a new
stair stepped appearance with
the steps every two to five feet.
The project will run 24 hours,
seven days a week.
The City of San Diego
and the Water Authority
anticipates re-opening the
reservoir between late 2014
and late 2017 depending
on rainfall and water supply
demand.

Nichole is one of five recipients who together have been
awarded a total of $23,000 in
2010 Don Diego scholarships.
Each year, the Fund provides
financial support to deserving college-bound San Diego
County high school seniors
who have been associated
with the San Diego County Fair
and other Del Mar Fairgrounds
activities. Scholarships are
awarded in four categories:
FFA, 4-H, Employee and Exhibitor.
Nichole captured her Don
Diego scholarship as an exhibitor at the Fair, where she
says she enjoyed interpreting
each year’s theme through
art projects and baked goods.
Among her many awards was a
topsy-turvy cake, which earned
her first place during the 2004
Seusscentennial Celebration.
“I am very thankful for the opportunity the Fair has provided
for me to showcase my crafts
and culinary arts,” says this
perennial winner who confides
that even her defeats have
helped her: “I learned lessons
in sportsmanship and perseverance in the years when I did
not place.”
Nichole is a goal-oriented

young adult who spent much
of her senior year applying
for scholarships. “I had previously deposited every penny
I made working, babysitting,
caring for pets, holding garage
sales and house-sitting into my
college fund, but when the
market crashed in Fall 2008,
so did my college fund.” Undeterred, Nichole has assiduously sought out innovative
ways to make money, including collecting recyclables left
behind at a high school every
weekend.
Nichole is assistant coordinator for an El Nido Women’s
Shelter apartment; helping to
provide goods, services and
support to a mom and children
fleeing domestic abuse. Saying
that Nichole went far beyond
the original concept of providing the bare necessities, El
Nido coordinator Bonnie Paul
states, “Nichole gives me hope
for the future of America because she is evidence of what
is really good in our society.”
Nichole’s father, Mark Miller,
says the family is grateful for
the scholarship. “Her heart is
genuinely pure,” he says, “and
she is very deserving.”
Don Diego Fund Executive Director Chana Mannen
states, “Nichole Miller is a
recipient who deserves the
Don Diego scholarship for so
many reasons. By helping to
transform her into a college
scholar, we will enable Nichole
to transform the lives of others
in the future.”
The Don Diego Fund is a
nonprofit scholarship program
of the San Diego County Fair. It
was formed in 1986 as a lasting
tribute to Tom Hernandez, who,
in the role of Don Diego, served
as the legendary goodwill ambassador of the Fair from 1947
until his death in 1984. To
date, the Fund has awarded
$536,000 in scholarships and
grants, helping 126 students
pursue higher education. The
Fund welcomes sponsors at
diverse monetary levels, providing recognitions and benefits
at all levels. Visit the website

Burn Run Brigade
Community Fire Safe Councils (CFSC) provide a link between
federal, state and local agency efforts and local community prevention needs. Clay Howe, bureau of Land management (BLM) Fire
Mitigation Battalion Chief says, “Community Fire Safe Councils
are a vital piece of the Wildfire equation.”
Over 4.5 million federal and state dollars have been allocated
to CFSC’s to manage vegetation, chipping programs, and wildfire
education. CFSC’s work with fire agency’s to identify community
risks. After a risk has been determined, programs are set in place to
address the issue which makes the work for fire responders easier
by reducing the amount of flammable vegetation which then allows
firefighters to make a stand to protect homes.
The mission of the FSCSDC is to mobilize San Diego County
residents to protect their homes and communities from wildfire
and to provide educational outreach, exchange information and
act as a liaison with local, state and federal agencies responsible
for land management and fire protection service.
Fire Safe San Diego volunteer awards were presented to:Rookie
of the Year- Bob Robeson –FSC Eucalyptus Hills, Project of the
Year- Alpine FSC (Coordinator Dennis Larsen), Volunteer of the
Year-Jim Courter, and Fire Safe Council of the Year-Pine Valley.
Lakeside Historical Society- a living history
A complimentary breakfast
chaired by member Mac Masso
was served to 70 members of
local fire departments, police
departments and motorcycle
officers along with 35 paid
participants prior to the “Burn
Run” caravan to the Del Mar
Fair Grounds.
In addition, a check for
$1,000 was presented by
Exalted Ruler Nancy Kulinski to Jim Floros, Executive Director of the Burn
Institute. The donation helps
to offset expenses for burn
victim’s attendance at the
camp operated by the Institute. Also, Captain Ron
Hollander, Chairman of the
South Division of the Burn
Run expressed his appreciation to the lodge members and
volunteers serving the group.

“An important part of the Lakeside Historical Societies mission is to give back to the community,” said Barbara DeYoung,
Chairwoman of the annual Living History exhibit and educational
display. The annual event educates Lakeside School District 3rd
graders about the history of Lakeside.
The event featured ten stations where students learned through
hands-on experience what it was like to live and work in Lakeside
in years past. Students had the opportunity to see how gas engines
provided power, plant their own potatoes and type on a manual
typewriter. Some students had never seen a wringer washing
machine or sewn on a button. These were things they were told
that were part of day to day living in Lakeside in days past.
Lakeside Historical Society member and life long resident Edna
Kouns, herself a living legend at age 96, showed Lemon Crest
students an animal hide which has been in her family for years.
Kouns explained animals were used for food as well as clothing.
Kouns told the children how hides were used for jackets and
blankets. “Everything was used, nothing was wasted,” as Kouns
told the children.
The three day event, which welcomed 248 local students,
was put on by the Lakeside Historical Society volunteers and a
number of Lakeside residents who brought their displays.

Q: How much money do I need to put down?
Twenty percent down is the traditional standby required by banks.
With the invention of mortgage insurance you can do as little as
5% down; with an FHA loan it can be as little as 3.5%.
And with special financing, the down payment can be $0.00.

NMLS LICENSE #248810
In addition to a down payment, purchasers also need cash for
closing costs (the final costs associated with closing the loan).
Several newly emerging loan programs not only allow the purchase
of a home with no money down but also underwrite closing costs.

Not everyone, however, elects to purchase with little or no
money down. Less money down means higher monthly mortgage
payments, so most home buyers choose to buy with some cash up front.

For Health’s Sake
Play like the pros
by Judy Callihan Warfield
O
ne would be amazed
how many professional athletes and
teams use hypnotherapy as a
way to give their game that win-
ning edge!! Everything from
basketball to baseball and golf
to running are enhanced thru
a better mental focus. Let’s
talk golf. Playing golf can be
broken down into two major
parts; mental focus and physical skills. How your game will
play out is determined by the
interaction of these factors.
As you know, golf requires
physical expertise, but it really
is a mental game. How you
perceive the shot before you
make it really does effect the
outcome. If you have a lot of
negative talk going on in your
head the chances of hitting a
successful shot is slim. If you
have taken golf lessons and
have the technique down, but
still can’t seem to play the way
you want, perhaps it’s time
to work
on the mental game with the
help of hypnotherapy. Watch
your favorite pro and notice
how they mentally work thru
the shot prior to making it.. If
you have ever watched Tiger
Woods, you can almost see
the wheels turning in his head
prior to each shot.
There is that story about
three high school basketball
teams. The first team practiced very hard and often; the
second team did not practice
at all; and the third team sat
and played thru the game
mentally. In the end, the team
which practiced hard won out.
However, the team that mentally had run thru the game to
a successful end did not come
in too far behind. Of course,
the team that did neither did
not have a successful outcome. Imagine the successful
outcome if you combine the
physical training with mental
training.
Hypnotherapy can increase
your mental focus, teach you
to stop the negative self talk,
increase your confidence,
learn to block out distractions, and trust your intuition.
These are all great things, but
must be used in conjunction
with proper technique. If you
want to play like Tiger Woods
and have never taken a golf
lesson or practiced, we may
have a difficult time getting
you to your goal. However,
if you have taken the time to
learn proper technique, then
hypnotherapy may be
just what you need to really play to your best ability.
Perhaps it is time to discover
your full potential?
Is running your favorite
thing? Want to learn how
to visualize yourself running
relaxed, faster and further?
Wouldn’t you like to shave
a few minutes off your best
time? Again, hypnotherapy
is a tool that Olympians use
to give themselves that little
extra edge to bring in the gold.

Health… Just Common
Horse Sense
by Dr. Donald Adema
M
y brother-in-law left us last Saturday at 12:05 a.m. He
truly was one of the most gifted musical talents I have
known and loved his family with every fiber of his body. He was
dealt a stage four prostate cancer diagnosis/blow at age 46 and
lived longer than most by exploring all avenues of therapy and
allowing his faith to guide him all the way. He died 1 week after
his 53rd birthday. To be on the opposite side of decision making
in a family care crisis is more than challenging to any physician,
especially when hospice care is in the realm of expertise. To
actually help provide the physical care was a gift. This is how
Tom left us.
“Dad, you better come soon.” My wonderful daughter and
her husband called while the office was humming with the usual
end of the week Friday a.m. chaos. Mrs. A was now back at the
hospital in lactation services after five days of supporting her sister’s
family anyway she could. The expected time of arrival was to be
Saturday at 10 a.m. but the quiet earnest request changed the PM
plans immediately. Arrival was at 7:05 p.m. that evening close to
the area of my youth in the LA suburbs.
As the front door opened there was a loud dissonant noise emitting from the big screen TV in the living room that was augmented
by the Simpsons’ episode directly in front of the patient in the
master bedroom’s suspended TV. It was very difficult to not slip
into a just 60 year old, father and markedly displeased physician
role. A controlled entreaty to replace the cacophony with some
soothing music was immediately accepted. So much was changing
so fast that the environment was becoming a blur to all present.
“How about some blues?” “How about something to soothe
his respiratory pattern?” So, a DISH station labeled Intermezzo
softly delivered harp renditions that lessened the need for agitation medications. Tom’s hand came up in support without verbal
response. As the situation settled, a soothing bath was given and
respirations continued at a more controlled rate. Not in an air
hunger mode but at rate that is present as the body continues
through the “shutting down” process.
Again, the hand raised and was rocking back and forth. “Is he
agitated?” “No, I think he is conducting.” And the hand remained
elevated. “Remember, always assume that those who are leaving
us can hear all”. The smiles with that thought warmed the room.
The need for medication was diminishing.
As time progressed without pause, the hand dropped and a new
level of detachment to this world was evident. “Tom, do you see
them? Do you see my little girl?” His head slightly turned towards
my voice. The power of that attempt to communicate will never
be forgotten. But, it was not an attempt but a success. Beyond
and back?
“Okay Tom, this dude needs to rest the eyes for a few.” My
sister-in-law and nieces replaced the vigil and as bedtime preparations were being made a loud “Donald” was heard across the
house. As I entered the room, Tom breathed his last long and
amazingly peaceful sigh with the loves of his life in attendance. It
was over.
Please keep Tom’s family and friends in your thoughts and
prayers. His strength, convictions and, most importantly, faith

Spotlight on community theatre
Previews by Diana Saenger
S
ummer is here and
along with the many
outdoor sports events
and parks that San Diego has
to offer are the number of
wonderful theatrical stages
in our county. Their shows,
many award winning or world
premiere – feature entertaining
and interesting subjects with
wonderful casts and amazing
design teams. Here’s a look at
some of the plays now open or
arriving soon.
Cygnet Theater Company
Private Lives is one of the
most flippant plays ever written.
Elyot and Amanda, once married and now honeymooning
with new spouses at the same
hotel, meet by chance, reignite
the old spark and impulsively
elope. The show plays now
– July 3. The Norman Conquests, a trilogy of full-length
comedies (Table Manners,
Round and Round the Garden,
Living Together) performed in
rotating repertory, that focus on
the wild antics of Norman and
his oddball in-laws, runs July
28 - Nov 7. For more information call (619) 337-1525, www.
cygnettheatre.com
La Jolla Playhouse
In Surf Report, playing now
- July 11, a woman faces a demanding surfer-turned-venture
capitalist boss, an underachieving husband and a wannabe
artist daughter, as her ambitions
clash with her family’s needs.
Annie Weisman (Be Aggressive), once again captures our
Southern California coastal
vibe in this funny and poignant
play that examines the sacrifices
we make – or avoid – for our
family. A Midsummer Night’s
Dream runs July 20 - August
22. A Victorian Court turns
upside-down – literally – when
forbidden lovers escape into the
forest and a jilted fiancé follows
in hot pursuit. For more information call (858) 550-1010,
www.lajollaplayhouse.org.
North Coast Repertory
Theatre
The 25th Annual Putnam
County Spelling Bee is funny
and ingenious where fidgety
adolescents prove that the only
thing worse than being 13 is being 13 while attempting to correctly spell “pyrrhonism.” The
Tony Award-winning musical
celebrates the mania of competition as the funniest most
lovable and sardonically nerdy
contestants compete for the
Spelling Bee title. Six wacky
misfits with steely ambition
strive to define themselves apart
from their crazy families as they
confront the pitfalls of puberty.
The show runs June 30 – July
25. For more information call
(858) 481-1055, www.northcoastrep.org.
Old Globe Theatre
The Globe’s Shakespeare
Festival is here. King Lear runs
June 12 - September 23 and is
one of the most powerful dramas in western literature. Lear
wants to divide his kingdom
between his three daughters
– each to receive land and
wealth in proportion to their
declaration of love for him. Two
compete to flatter their father,
while one refuses to play the
game. The Taming of the Shrew
runs June 16 - September 26
and is the quintessential battleof-the-sexes comedy! Baptista
has two daughters that need
to be married off. One docile,
beautiful and much sought after
by the noble men of the town,
and the other ill-tempered and
shrewish, with an acid tongue
that no man can tame. What’s
a father to do? The Madness
of King George III runs June
19 - September 24 and is a
masterpiece of royal intrigue. In
the years immediately following
the American Revolutionary
War, this powerful play explores
the court of England’s King, his
deterioration into madness and
his determination to hold on
to political power from those
around him.
Robin And The 7 Hoods, a

‘Toy Story 3’ — storytelling and animation are delightfully engaging
Review by Diana Saenger
W
hat’s not to like
about the goodhearted cowboy
Woody or the energetic spaceman Buzz Lightyear – returning
characters in Pixar’s new movie
Toy Story 3? This third movie
in the series may leave some
viewers weepy as it’s time for
Andy to put away his beloved
toys and head off to college.
Packing up his room becomes
a tough decision as Mom gives
him only three choices for his
youth arsenal – the attic, the
trash, or the box that will go
off to college with Andy.
Andy (voiced by John Morris) has some soul searching
to do about his childhood
toys, but finally tosses Woody
(voiced by Tom Hanks) in the
box for college and the rest of
the gang in a bag for the attic.
Panic insures when Woody
watches Andy’s mom mistakenly pick up the bag intended
for the attic and set it on the
curb for the garbage truck. A
few commando team moves
later and all the toys are on the
way to the Sunnyside Daycare
center. Woody is sure the toys
will be safe and loved by the
little kids.
Faster than Jessie (voiced
by Joan Cusack) can draw her
gun, the toys are tricked by
Lotso (voiced by Ned Beatty),
a big cuddly teddy bear who
locks them in a room. They
quickly learn this is the room
for the tiny tots who would
rather pound the toys on the
floor than play with them.
Woody is still the brave leader who will not let his friends
become injured and useless.
Things get serious when Lotso
and his pals reverse the screws
on the back of Buzz and make
him turn against Woody and
the gang. Buzz is really funny
as he attempts to be a seriously
mean hombre.
‘A-Team’ …

legal but necessary to preserve
the stability of American currency. They are sent to recover
stolen $100 printing plates. The
operation is considered illegal
but necessary. Upon their successful return, their commander
(Brian Bloom) and only witness
to clear their name, is killed.
The men are charged with the
crime of disobeying a direct
order. They are dishonorably
discharged and sent to federal
prison for 10 years. Just like the
original series, they escape and
go after the stolen plates and
those who set them up in order
to prove their innocence.

ex-girlfriend of Faceman and
in charge of bringing the ATeam back to prison. Except
for strictly sex appeal, Biel
doesn’t contribute much to the
film. B.A.’s character is poorly
written and does not live up to
the expectations of the original
television character. I constantly
compared the new characters
with the old and only Hannibal and Faceman lived up
to the comparison. Copley as
Murdock, stole every scene he
was in.
The film is hampered with
out-of-control shaky camera
shots during some action sequences, which are ridiculous
but fun to watch, especially the
tank scene. Compared to the
other remakes, The A-Team is
decent but nothing special. The
lack of gore and sex will lose appeal to the younger generation
and the older generation might
have a hard time accepting it
due to a fondness for the original series.
Most of the characters from
Toy Story 2 are back with a
few exceptions, and a few new
ones round out the cast. Ken
(voiced by Michael Keaton)
is a fashionista with a mean
streak, but when he sets eyes
on Barbie (voiced by Jodi
Benson) he puts on a good
face. Big Baby is cute but don’t
let those baby blue eyes fool
you. Even though she doesn’t
speak, it’s clear she’ll do whatever Lotso wants her to, and
it’s not good.
Pixar delivers once again in
thoroughly entertaining kids
and adults with this new film.
The animation is incredible;
the characters enduring and
there’s a real message at the
heart of the story about change,
working as a team and good vs.
evil although this is significantly
dumbed down for the kids.
Toy Story 3 is also adventurous and funny. The entire
escape from Sunnyside requires
some top notch military training and quick thinking use of
objects around them. When
the toys finally escape they
end up at the dump – not
back at Andy’s house – ready
to be incinerated. This part of
the movie results in edge-ofyour-seat excitement for both
kids and adults, all wondering
where such a perilous moment
will end.
There are many laughs
throughout the film. Mr. Potato
Head (voiced by Don Rickles)
seemed to get the most votes
when he lost part of his body
and attached his pieces to a
wobbly tortilla shell. The comical scenes with Ken and Barbie
will surely be more amusing to
the moms than kids. Give them
Slinky Dog (voiced by Blake
Clark) or Rex (Wallace Shawn)
and they’re happy.
I can’t say the 3-D in the version I watched wowed me, so if
the extra money is a problem,
kids will probably be just as
entertained watching the 2-D
version. All in all, Toy Story 3
is a great family film that will
reign as a favorite from infinity
to beyond!

– the sardine cannery – will shut
down. No matter the bad news, Flint won’t give up on his
dream. He decides to move on with his latest invention, a
microwave oven that converts water molecules into food.
But when something goes wrong the machine ends up in
the space, and it starts raining food. And when the mayor
orders spaghetti and meatballs and a storm is approaching, chaos ensues. Lots of laughs for parents and kids in
this movie.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a Columbia Pictures
release, rated “PG” for brief mild language and runs 90
minutes. Note: this screening is not in 3-D.

— HOME & GARDEN —
Farmer’s Market at Viejas has
great vendors and films
F
resh vegetables, locally grown food, flowers and unique gifts
are reason to check out the
Farmer’s Market every Tuesday at Viejas. Another reason
is that each week there’s also
a food-related documentary
showing at sundown.
On June 29 the documentary My Father’s Garden will
screen at sundown. With a
look at the past and future of
growing food, the documentary also reflects on the use
and misuse of technology on
the American farm. The environmental, social, and moral
costs of modern agriculture are
clearly explained in this film.
Fred Kirschenmann, an organic farmer and leader in the
sustainable agriculture movement, has a serious message
for consumers, “We are rapidly
losing the natural resources
and human wisdom necessary
to grow food - but there is a
way out of this dilemma.”
Told with a personal narrative by Director Miranda
Smith and using her home
movies, the film is at its
essence a stor y of hope.
Smith’s father was an innovative farmer at the dawn of the
chemical era in agriculture.
His use of the new miracle
sprays enabled him to transform their Florida farm into
a man-made paradise. Learn
how we can bring health and
beauty back into the garden
and our planet.
Farmer’s Market takes place
Tuesday’s 3-7 p.m. in the grassy
area of Viejas Outlet Center.

Sizzling Summer Salads
Fresh From the Grill
A
sensational summer menu can be simple, yet satisfying;
exotic, yet familiar. Instead of making salad a sleepy side
item this summer, mix things up and add some sizzle to the table
with a sumptuous entrée salad straight from the grill.
Grilling adds intense flavor to summer’s freshest salad ingredients. Try choosing a selection of colorful fruits, flavorful meats,
crisp vegetables, delicious seasonings and luscious marinades
that pop. Two delectable choices that can make your grilled salads sing are beef and fresh mango. Beef is a traditional summer
grilling favorite. In fact, according to a recent survey, conducted
by Pelegrin Gray on behalf of the Beef Checkoff Program, 55
percent of Americans prefer to grill beef, such as a steak like filet,
ribeye or T-bone, versus other meat. Also, mango is the world’s
most popular fruit, and a year-round source of the naturally sweet,
refreshing taste of the tropics.
Make the most of Mangos
• Mangos contain more than 20 different vitamins and minerals,
are an excellent source of vitamins C and A and a good source
of dietary fiber.
• Color is not the best indicator of ripeness. Simply squeeze the
mango gently to determine ripeness level. A ripe mango should
give slightly, but not be too soft.
• To ripen mangos, store at room temperature. Once ripe, store
mangos in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Beef Fajita Salad with Mango-Serrano Vinaigrette
Makes 4 servings
3 medium mangos, peeled, pitted and cheeks sliced off
Olive oil
2 medium poblano peppers
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound beef top sirloin steak, 1 inch thick
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 cup radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons water
1 to 2 serrano peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
Brush mangos
with oil. Place
mango cheeks
and poblanos on
grill over medium, ash-covered
coals. Grill poblanos, uncovered,
9 to 10 minutes
(gas grill times
remain the same)
or until skins are
blackened, turning occasionally.
Grill mangos 8
to 14 minutes (gas grill times remain the same) or until very
tender, turning occasionally. Seal peppers in food-safe bag and
let stand for 15 minutes. Cool and cut mangos into 3/4-inch
cubes and reserve.
Press black pepper onto beef steak. Brush onion with oil. Place
steak on grid; arrange onion around steak. Grill, uncovered, 17 to
21 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 13
to 16 minutes) or until steak is medium rare (145°F) to medium
(160°F) doneness and onion is tender, turning occasionally.
For vinaigrette, measure 1/2 cup cubed mango and combine
with lime juice, water and serranos in food processor. Cover; process until smooth. With motor running, slowly add oil, processing
until well blended. Season with salt, as desired.
Discard skins, stems and seeds from poblanos; cut into 3/4inch pieces. Carve steak into slices. Halve onion slices. Place
beef, remaining mango, onion, poblanos and radishes on platter.
Season with salt. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to coat. Sprinkle
with cilantro.

Dear Dr. Luauna
y son was killed in Iraq as a
M
brave soldier, he signed up
when he turned 18, and died before
his 21st birthday. I am not angry at
God or anyone, he was a Christian,
I just want to honor his bravery., as a
parent. I also know there are other parents who need comfort in their grief.
Signed, Proud Mother
Dear Proud Mother,
While I strongly agree with you, we
should give great honor to our fallen military men and women,
how can we ever thank them for the great sacrifice they have
made for us? John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this,
than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” I also want to thank
you, and every mother and father who raised such noble
young men and women of honor who voluntarily answered
the call of duty to defend our freedom. Unfortunately, the
consequences of war have become a tragic reality to many
families across the world. Ecclesiastes 3:8, “A time to love, And
a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.”
Jesus said in Matthew 5 : 4 , “Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.” He was the greatest example
of laying down His life for our freedom! I cannot imagine the
grief of losing a child, yet, because you have, may the Lord
use you to help bring comfort to others.
Thank you for thinking of others during your time of mourning. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, “Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all
comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may
be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the
comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
Thank you for your sacrifice!

San Diego Chargers play ‘hardball’
by Chuck Karazsia
A deadline letter sent by A.J.
to these players mandating
them to sign that contract offer has now expired. Therefore
hypothetically, if these two
players want to play for the
Chargers in 2010 it will be for
substantially less money. It is
apparent McNeill and Jackson
will not give in to the Chargers
G.M. and have informed their
agents of their intention to sit
out the season if necessary.
W
hile the San Diego
Padres contend for
first place in the
N.L.West; what in the blueand-gold is going on at Chargers Park this off-season?
Former Pro-Bowl offensive
lineman Marcus McNeill and
wide receiver Vincent Jackson
rejected contract offer’s from
Chargers General Manager
A.J. Smith reportedly worth
about $3 million apiece this
season.
Not fully understanding the
complexities of the situation,
in my interpretation if McNeill

and Jackson decide to return
to the team prior to the 11’th
regular season game in late
November this year (against
Denver), they would receive a
pro-rated sum from their tendered contracts from $600,000
for McNeill, and $583,000 for
Jackson (a 10 percent raise
from last season.) Also, by
playing in the last six games of
the regular season they would
get a year’s accrued service
time which will be credited to
their eligibility for unrestricted
free agency next season.
Would the Chargers take
them back that late into the
season?
It would seem foolish for
them not to due to their importance to the team as instrumental impact players needed by
San Diego to get into playoff
and Super Bowl contention.
If the situation plays out the
way it appears right now, the
Chargers will be without the
services of these two players for
the first 10 weeks of the regular

season. Will the Chargers be
a better team without their
services?
Chargers General Manager
A.J. Smith is a master of negotiating and of adding depth
to this talent laden squad. He
wasted little time in acquiring
and signing two players for
those respective positions.
On June 9, the Chargers
agreed to terms with free-agent
three-time Pro Bowl offensive
left tackle Tra Thomas. Drafted
in the first round by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1998 as the
11’th overall pick, Thomas
brings experience and depth
to the Chargers. Missing only
eight games in 11 seasons with
the Eagles, the 6-7, 316 pound
3-time Pro Bowler played in
five NFL Championships and
one Super Bowl.
“Tra is a talented player with
a wealth of starting experience,” said Chargers General
Manager A.J. Smith.
“We have held him in high
regard for many years. He will
be added to the mix as we
move forward in preparation
for the upcoming season.”
Two days later the Chargers
agreed to terms on a one-year
contract with veteran wide
receiver Josh Reed who spent
8 seasons with Buffalo. Drafted
by the Bills in 2002 out of
Louisiana State the 5’10”,
210 lb. receiver will be small
in comparison to the Chargers
tall wide receivers but not in
ability. Reed had 311 career
catches for 3,575 yards and 10
touchdowns for the Bills. The
second round draft choice had
his best season in 2008 with
56 receptions averaging nearly
12-yards a catch.
“We are excited to have
Josh join us,” said G.M. A.J.
Smith.
“He was a consistent performer in Buffalo for many
years. With his experience, he
will be a solid compliment to
our receiving corps.”
Both these players are long
in tooth, but A.J. Smith has
to be given credit for adding
them to the roster. Not only
do they bring experience and
add depth, these players might
be able to fill the holes left by
McNeill and Jackson, certainly
give them something to think
about, and if/when they return
to the team, the Bolts will be
that much stronger.
The injury bug to the Chargers starting left tackle Marcus
McNeill (neck) may be of
concern to the Chargers General Manager as well as the
off-field antics of wide receiver
Vincent Jackson. That may be
the reason why A.J. is rolling
the dice on these two players.
There is no doubt that Charger
fans will be upset if these two
players are not part of the
2010 team.
Good news for Chargers
fans was the June 7 signing of
unrestricted free agent Malcolm
Floyd. The 6’-5,” 225 pound
wide receiver had a comingout year for the Bolts. He
started nine games, catching
45 passes for 776 yards.
“There wasn’t anything positive in missing any more time,”
said Floyd. “Especially in my
part because I’m in a different situation than the other
guys.”
That leaves Marcus McNeill,
Vincent Jackson, and Shawne
Merriman as the only restricted
free agents who have not
signed their tenders.
Unlike McNeill and Jackson,
Merriman signing deadline
hasn’t been made to be a big
deal. According to sources his
tendered offer and guaranteed
money wasn’t much of a difference. He would have preferred
a long term deal but it wasn’t
imminently likely with the
Chargers. He wants to come
back with a strong productive
year so he can sign a long term
deal in the future be it with
the Chargers or another team.
He has put in a lot of time
and energy into his off season

workouts. Look for Shawne
Merriman to be in Chargers
training camp.
True this is an uncapped
salary year and the fans expect frivolous owner spending. With the NFL labor in
unrest it is unlikely the Chargers will sign any players to a
long term contract. With the
uncertainty of a salary-cap in
the future and the collective
bargaining agreement expiring next season and a threat
of an owner lockout, the
Chargers should be very cautious in their business spending. They might be holding
back and buying time. Also
A.J. has never been an advocate of long term contracts
(except Philip Rivers).
It is a known fact A.J. Smith
does not tolerate undisciplined
behavior on his team. With that
in mind, the Chargers on Monday released second-year safety
Kevin Ellison. The former USC
Trojan was arrested on a possession charge of a controlled
substance (100 Vicodin pills)
found in his car last month.
Veteran safety Steve Gregory
and rookie Darrell Stuckey who
was drafted in the fourth round
by the Chargers this year will
compete for that position on
the team.
A.J. Smith is a wise man.
His demeanor is difficult to
understand, yet he stands by
his guns, and is a tough negotiator. In his seventh season as
the Chargers General Manager
his team has won the AFC West
Championship in five of the last
six seasons.
Listing two of his famous
quotes, the first from Abraham
Lincoln.
“It is important that people
know you walk among them
without fear.”
His second, “You may encounter many defeats, but you
must not be defeated,” Maya
Angelou
He describes himself as “loyal, dedicated, and persistent.”
Keeping these traits in mind
it would be difficult to argue
with this man about the way
he handles his team, but also
difficult to negotiate with him
because of his loyal, dedicated
persistency.
Let’s hope he knows what
he’s doing this season, again
playing hardball.

2011 Infinity M37 — busting out of the norm
by Dave Stall
T
o build a car today and
meet all the government standards have
caused car manufacturers to
follow a body style that meets
these demands but causes
them to look a lot a like. Infiniti
has busted out of the styling
box with a redesigned M37.
First look will make one ask,
what is it? Then once behind
the wheel it will take the driver
in like a close friend.

Pros …
Continued from page 8
The great thing about hypnotherapy is that it is a natural
and drug free way to enhance
your favorite sport.
Even if you are a weekend warrior in your game of
choice, doesn’t mean you
don’t want to be able to play
to your full potential. You may
not even know consciously
the areas that are holding you
back. Our behaviors and habits reside in our subconscious.
It is your subconscious that
will sabotage you shooting
longer, running further, and
moving past what has become
normal for you. It takes more
than to consciously encourage
yourself to improve. If you
are willing to buy the gear and
clothes that the pro’s recommend, why not use the other
tools at their disposal and use
hypnotherapy to improve your
mental game as well.
Perhaps you are just starting back into physical activity.
Why not use 100 percent of
the power of your mind to stay
motivated, increase your ability
to set goals and stick to those
New Year’s resolutions thru out
the year. Part of setting goals
and achieving them plays into
that self discipline of saying
what you mean, and meaning
what you say. It’s part of that
building of self confidence in
keeping those promises that
we’ve made to ourselves.
Even if you currently are not
physically able to exercise, or
perhaps to add an additional
boost to your metabolic rate if
you are practicing good weight
management, you should try
the “mental exercise” as discussed above with the basketball team. There are accounts
of Olympic athletes that have
suffered injuries right before the
games and they used “mental
exercise” and visualization as
their way to stay in shape.
Practice going thru your favorite exercise mentally each
night as a great way to burn
off calories and keep those
muscles toned. Remember,
the subconscious does not
know the difference between
fact and fiction. Why not use
that to your advantage?

The power plant under the
hood of the M37 is a 330
horsepowered 3.7-liter V6 that
produces 270 pound foot of
torque and 18 miles per gallon
in the city and 26 miles per
gallon on the open road. Need
more horsepower? Then move
up to the M56 which sports a
420 horsepowered V8 kicking
out 417 pound foot of torque
and fuel mileage is 16 city and
25 city, not much difference
except for an additional $9,000
at the price tag but consumers
get a lot more in the M56 than
just horsepower. Backed by a
very smooth seven, that is correct a seven speed automatic
transmission, no one would
even know it has seven gears.
I was very impressed with the
attention to detail at the dash,
door panels and even inside
door handles. Another feature
that will make people stare for
longer than anticipated is the
Japanese White Ash wood trim
that has genuine silver powder
accents, stunning.
The M37 is very sophisticated but easy to operate, climate
controls, and audio system.
None of which had to be operated from the owners manual.
Center console handles the
shifter a couple of cup holders
and a cigarette ash tray and
lighter. I guess there are a few
folks that would smoke in this
car, I can’t imagine it even if I
smoked.

I got my M37 from Kearny
Mesa Infiniti and I found the
staff very knowledgeable and
eager to please even though
they knew I wasn’t buying a
new car. The dealership excels
in customer satisfaction and
if someone is looking for an
Infiniti stop by and see the folks
at Kearny Mesa Infiniti!
Safety is state of the arts from
the suspension and braking
to the massive amounts of
air bags surrounding drivers
and ready to protect at any
situation. I miss Infiniti in
the racing worlds but when
they build a car like the
M37 there are telling the

the back seats someone could
stay in for a long coast to coast
trip. The attention done just
to the door panels and door
handles scream elegance all
for a car that will set consumers
back around $55,105 plus tax
and license.
The suspension is adjustable
for snow, sport and economy.
Could a driver tell the difference? Slightly but the ride is
great at any setting. The trunk
looks non- existent from outside but flip the lid and there is
plenty of room for golf clubs or
a run to the big box store.
Looking at the M37 from
different angles all scream
“beautiful, luxury” lets hit the
road. Behind the wheel one
will find very comfortable seating, leather with all the options.

Our Best Friends
What’s in your yard may harm your pet...ask a trainer
by Sarah Surritt,
AKC CGC Evaluator,
APDT Member
Dear Trainer:
just moved into a new
house that is beautifully
landscaped. However,
we have two dogs and I’m
worried about what might be
poisonous outside. I usually
will simply yell at them which
gets them to stop sniffing the
area but I’m afraid if they go
out alone they might get into
trouble. I sometimes see them
chewing on my plants which
also frustrates me. There’s also
an area on our property where
I’d like to start planting flowers.
What can I do to make sure I’m
maintaining a healthy garden
environment for my dogs while
also teaching them to not ruin
everything?
Sincerely,
Flower Pot Pups
I
Dear Flower Pot:
Great question! It’s very
important to know what plants
are harmful to animals and
make sure that we prevent our
pets from chewing and eating
them. Keep in mind, as lovely
as many plants and flowers
are, some plants are poisonous to pets if ingested. Since
you are new to your home
and yard, I recommend you
take some time to get to know
the plants already there. Make
sure that any of the harmful
ones are not accessible and are
out of reach to your pets. You
may also consider getting rid of
them completely. Many plants
and flowers if ingested can be
toxic to animals. Some may
cause death. One might think
a few flower petals to be harmless if swallowed, however, just
a few petals, leaves, seeds or
even parts of the bulb of certain
plants and flowers can actually
be fatal to pets!
You might be surprised to
hear that some of your favorite
Valentine’s Day or birthday
flowers or the arrangements
themselves could be poisonous
to your furry friends. Here are
just a few examples with the
symptoms for each.
Autumn Crocus: Severe
vomiting. Gastrointestinal
bleeding. Liver and kidney
damage. Shock
Azalea: Vomiting, diarrhea,
drooling, coma and death.
Oleander: Sever vomiting.
Abnormal heart rate. Shock.
Weakness. Death.
Lily: Highly toxic to cats.
Severe kidney failure.
Daffodil Bulbs: Severe
vomiting. Diarrhea. Abdominal pain. Abnormal heart rate.
Changes in respiration.
Sago Palm: Vomiting.
Bloody stools. Damage to the
stomach lining. Severe liver
failure. Death.
Hyacinth/Tulip Bulbs:
Severe vomiting. Diarrhea.
Drooling.
Kalanchoe: Vomiting. Diarrhea. heart arrhythmias.
Neurologic signs.
Cyclamen: Severe vomiting. Drooling. Diarrhea. Heart
arrhythmias.
• Fresh bottle of hydrogen
peroxide three percent - to
induce vomiting
Snail and slug baits: Nervousness. Hyper-excitability.
Drooling. Tremors. Rapid heart
rate. seizure.
• Turkey baster, bulb syringe
or large medicine syringe (to
administer peroxide)
NOTE: Baits & Fertilizers.
Keep all pest baits, blood meal,
bone meal, insecticides and
fertilizers away from pets.
What should you do if your
pet does reach a plant that is
on the poisonous list? First, be
sure to write down the number
to the Pet Poison Helpline
and call it immediately if you
suspect that one of your pets
has swallowed something
poisonous: 800-213-6680.
You’ll want to try your best to
not panic. Gather the material
you suspect might be toxic.
Even though you may not see
any symptoms, don’t hesitate
to call the emergency hotline.
Sometimes animals can appear normal for a few hours
or days with no symptoms
after being poisoned. You
can access a complete list of
poisonous plants for pets at
http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/
poison-control/plants/
There are several other
ways to be ready to manage
such scary incidents should
one occur. It’s recommended
by the ASPCA Animal Poison
Control Center that you invest
in an emergency first-aid kit
for your animals. Here are
some suggestions on what to
purchase and include in your
kit:
ADOPT-A-PET
Are you looking for a spunky & playful new best friend? Look no further - meet Rodney, a 7 yr
old male Schnauzer/Terrier blend weighing 13 pounds. He’s full of life & loves people - just
look at his cute face - he loves a good romp in the yard & belly rubs. You’ll have to meet him
in person to appreciate all his charms - come to the County Animal Shelter
at 5480 Gaines St., Tues-Sat 9:30am-5:30pm. He’d do best in a calm
home environment; where he can bounce around chasing his toys! For
more info contact Kathy at 858.205.9974 with FOCAS (Friends of County
Animal Shelters) www.focas-sandiego.org His $69 adoption fee includes
neuter, license, microchip & vaccinations.
Han is a 7-year-old Cream/Salt and Pepper Chihuahua mix male. He is a
love-bug seeking a special family to cherish! He is a mellow and affectionate
little guy, always thrilled to be in the lap of a human companion. He enjoys
quiet and cozy environments where he can relax, nap, go for short walks
and enjoy treats! Han also enjoys socializing and hanging out with other
dogs. Han will do well in a variety of homes, but a home without children
is recommended.

ing their positive actions. Instead of shouting at them, take
a moment to think about what
you might do differently so the
action won’t happen again.
Remove any poisonous plants
immediately! You might also
consider walking your dog out
into the backyard on his leash
if you have a particular area in
which you would prefer to have
him explore or eliminate.
For management purposes
you might put up a fence to
prevent your dog or cat from
getting to plants harmful to
them. Some homeowners
build separate dog runs or
section off areas of the backyard that are 100 percent dog
friendly.
If you find you’ve left your
dog outside for too long and
you come home to your favorite plant chewed up into pieces,
your pup may be trying to tell
you he’s bored. Invest in some
higher value chew toys, treat
dispensing toys or a dog walker
to break up his time alone.
Remember it’s up to us to
manage our dogs and guide
them properly. Be a good
leader for your dog by reinforc-
Be a garden guardian to your
dogs and keep the poisonous
plants out of your home and
yard! Keep it pawsitive!
