By Joe Tash The Santa Fe Irrigation District is planning a series of halfday public workshop meetings in the coming months to deal with pressing financial issues such as anticipated costs for imported water, employee compensation, retirement benefits and capital projects. The district’s board of directors voted to hold the series of workshops at its regular monthly meeting on Thursday, Jan. 20. The first workshop session is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 22. At least two more workshops will also be scheduled in the coming weeks. The agenda for the February workshop has not been set. In past years, the board held annual workshops to chart the district’s long-term course, creating strategic plans looking out five years ahead. But with the costs of water spiking sharply in recent years, and projections for additional increases to come, the planning horizon has become shorter, said board president Michael Hogan. “This is a change, the world we live in with regard to water has changed. It’s very volatile. We can’t necessarily plan five years ahead like we have in the past,” Hogan said after last week’s meeting. “Right now the five-year horizon is very speculative. We have to look at a shorter horizon, the next two years, because See MEETINGS, page 18
RSF residents impacted RSF School considering by San Dieguito Reservoir odor new soccer field By Joe Tash An odor emanating from the San Dieguito Reservoir is prompting nearby residents to keep their windows shut and is even causing some people to have health problems, a resident told the Santa Fe Irrigation District Board of Directors at its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 20. “We do hope you act quickly,” said Robin Parsky, who lives on El Montevideo, which runs along the southwest side of the reservoir. “It’s one of the nicest areas in the Ranch. Right at this moment, you wouldn’t want to live there.” The reservoir is owned jointly by the Santa Fe Irrigation District and the San Dieguito Water District, and operated by the Santa Fe district. General manager Michael Bardin said he had been unaware of the issue until Parsky brought it up at the board meeting.
the Power of Experience
“That’s the first we’d heard of it,” Bardin
Bardin said the district is required by the state to lower the water level from October through April so the reservoir can accommodate runoff from winter rains. Sometimes when the water level is lowered, mud flats and plants are exposed, which can create odors in surrounding areas, especially during warm weather. “It’s kind of a seasonal nuisance that comes and goes,” Bardin said. The district plans to contact Parsky and follow up on her concerns. But in the short term, other than bringing up the water level in the reservoir, there may not be much the district can do to allevi-
By Karen Billing A new soccer field could be coming to R. Roger Rowe School. When the district receives expected delayed funds from the state, improving the school’s sports fields will be one of the district’s highest priorities. The Rancho Santa Fe School District board is expected to finalize its field decision at its Thursday, Feb. 3, meeting. At its Jan. 21 meeting, the board considered three possible field sizes: under-11 age group size, 45 yards by 80 yards; under13 age group size, 55 yards by 100 yards; and adult size, 75 yards by 120 yards. Realistically, the adult size would not work because it would take up too much of the existing area. Superintendent Lindy Delaney and the board appeared to be leaning toward the under13 size, as it is a more fitting size for the middle school students and area soccer leagues.

RSF Golf Club membership rules change proposed By Karen Billing The Rancho Santa Fe Association is considering changing the RSF Golf Club membership rules, allowing certain non-Covenant residents to remain members if they move. While notice was sent to golf club members about the proposed change — and the club has received no responses in a 60-day period — the Association board said they felt it was important to notify the Covenant as a whole before making a decision, most likely at the board’s Feb. 17 meeting. The Association will mail a notification to Covenant residents Feb. 1. “I think residents need to be notified, this is an important change in the rules of the club that they own,” director Jack Queen said. The new membership category would be for “nonresident associate members.” The members must have lived in the Covenant for a minimum of 10 years to qualify and would pay a 10 percent premium over regular member pricing, have restrictions on club purchases and would have no voting rights at the club. Jim Boyce, golf club board of governor’s membership chairman, said the change is not financially driven at all. “The concept originated in May of 2010 as we considered the friends and neighbors we’d lost over the years as they had to move from the Ranch,” Boyce said, noting many of See GOLF, page 18

BUZZ: Update on three issues By Tom Lang, Association president Issue One: T h e local and national economy have been Tom Lang operating in unknown territory for the past several years. I previously mentioned that the Association board would be proactive and prudent in its financial matters. We do not know what our assessment revenue will be for the next fiscal year. Therefore, the Association board, with the concurrence of staff, has frozen executive salaries and will not replace the Association planning position recently vacated. In addition, the board will not offer medical benefits for new hires until
we can get a handle on the direction of national health care. These measures are in effect until revenues stabilize and the economy improves. Issue Two: The Golf Club recently presented a request to the Association board to authorize a non-resident associate status for members who have been a Golf Club and Association member in good standing for at least 10 years. Prior to voting on the request, the board would like to insure all nonGolf Club members have a chance to weigh in on the issue. A reminder to the membership on this issue will be forthcoming prior to the second Association board meeting in February. Issue three: During the first part of February, all Association members will be receiving a membership survey asking for their
input on many issues facing the community. The survey is the end product of a lot of work by our Long Range Planning Committee and an outside consulting group that specializes in these types of surveys. We augmented the professional firm with the committee to make sure the survey was fair and that every attempt was made to word the questions so they would not influence responses. The survey is the first step in the process of helping the Association board understand what is important to our members. I encourage everyone to take the time to respond to the survey. The results are taken very seriously and we rely on them to help set our priorities over the next decade. Please contact the Association staff or any Association board member if you have any questions on the above matters.
Bloomberg Businessweek lists Rancho Santa Fe among Top 50 most expensive small towns Bloomberg/Business Week recently listed Rancho Santa Fe as number 16 of the most expensive small towns in the U.S., with a median home value of $1,683,818.

Del Mar Fairgrounds price — which figure is correct? By Joe Tash Officials with the state entities that run the Del Mar Fairgrounds and racetrack have raised new questions about the $120 million price agreed to by the state and the city of Del Mar for a sale of the fairgrounds, and the impact the sale could have on bonds issued to pay for improvements at the property. Earlier this month, Russ Penniman, who sits on the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association — which opposes the sale of the fairgrounds to Del Mar — wrote a letter to state officials, revealing that a preliminary valuation of the property conducted by CB Richard Ellis determined the fairgrounds is worth $250 million. According to Penniman, under the terms of bonds sold to finance construction of the new grandstands and other facilities, if the fairground is sold for less than “fair market value,” that could affect the tax-free status of the bonds and result in a lawsuit by bondholders. “I feel morally obligated that we live up to the bond covenants,” said Penniman, who also serves as president of the Del Mar Race Track Authority, the state entity that issued the bonds. “We’ll end up in litigation if this gets screwed up.” Because of the large difference between the CBRE valuation and the $120 million sales price agreed upon by the state under former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Penniman has commissioned a full appraisal of the property at a cost of $25,000, on top of the $10,000 spent on the preliminary valuation. Before any sale could go forward, legisla-
tion sponsored by state Sen. Christine Kehoe of San Diego would have to be approved by both the state Senate and Assembly, and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Brown, who took office Jan. 3, has not yet indicated whether he will support the sale. Del Mar Councilman Mark Filanc said the $120 million price agreed upon by the city and the state reflects the continued use of the property for the annual county fair, horse racing and other public events throughout the year, and is based on the expected revenue stream from those activities. Restrictions on the site such as its location in a flood zone and barriers to commercial or residential development limit the property’s market value, said Filanc. “So if you put those restrictions on the property, what can you do with it?” Filanc said. “The $250 million (valuation) is unrealistic,” Filanc said. “They (22nd DAA officials) want to disrupt the process, that’s what they’re trying to do.” “At the end of the day, facts are facts, the $120 million figure is real,” Filanc said. According to Filanc, Del Mar officials agreed to the $120 million sales price after studying the fairgrounds’ finances and negotiating with state officials. A 2010 appraisal by Integra Realty Resources commissioned by the state also set the value of the fairgrounds property at $120 million. But Penniman took issue with the Integra appraisal on several grounds. For one thing, he said, Integra apparently based its definition of See FAIRGROUNDS, page 16

Attic fire damages home in Rancho Santa Fe On Jan. 23, at 8:46 p.m., firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD), along with firefighters Carlsbad, Encinitas, San Diego, Solana Beach, and Vista, responded to a two-alarm structure fire in the 17000 block of Calle Corte in Rancho Santa Fe. When they arrived on the scene, firefighters noticed smoke coming from the eaves. Upon further inspection they found a working attic fire and began working to extinguish the fire. It took approximately 40 minutes to extinguish the flames and just under two hours to ensure the fire was completely under control. Eight fire engines, two ladder trucks, one medic unit, one rehabilitation unit, and one battalion chief responded to the incident. No injuries were reported. The residents, who were home at the time, had been enjoying a fire in the fireplace all day. They noticed smoke coming from the attic area near the fireplace and tried to extinguish the fire, but realized it was too large and called 9-1-1. The exact cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage is estimated to be around $450,000.
By Marlena ChaviraMedford Staff Writer In today’s healthcare industry, spirituality tends to be an afterthought. Local resident Nadine KassityKrich, however, aims to change that. She and longNadine time colleague Dr. Jamieson Jones recently co-authored Kassity-Krich “First, Heal Thyself: How to Survive Spiritually in the Healthcare Industry,” a book that examines how the soul intersects with caretaking. Kassity-Krich has worked as a neonatal nurse, an outreach ambassador at Children’s Hospital, and she is a graduate of Leland Kaiser’s Integrative Fellowship Program. She met Dr. Jones while working at Children’s Hospital, and after discovering that they shared a mutual interest in the roll spiritually plays in the world of medicine — or the lack thereof —the pair began collaborating, often teaming up for lectures and presentations. The duo has now combined all their knowledge, as well as some anecdotes, into this book. Here, Kassity-Kirch talks about the impetus behind this book, and what she hopes readers gain from it. Why did you want to write this book? We initially wrote this book for healthcare providers to re-instill the focus on why we all went into this business, before it got muddled with business, government, and HMOs. A lot of colleagues get burnout because they’re facing life-threatening situations on a daily basis, so it’s
an emotional rollercoaster. But if we can shift our perspective, then we can see our work as a spiritual learning experience instead of something that drains us. If we can teach the patient something and, in turn, we can take a spiritual lesson from the patient, then it’s a win-win for both parties. I call it reciprocal healing. And it doesn’t matter what faith you are, we can all take spiritual lessons from each other. It sounds like a neat concept. Do you think it’s applicable to others outside the healthcare industry? Yes, I do think there’s something for everyone in this book. As I got deeper into the writing process, I realized that this book is really applicable to everyone because all of us have been caretakers at some point — whether it’s been caring for a young child, an aging parent, or just ourselves. What do you think the healthcare industry would look like if spirituality were in the equation? It would not be chaotic or based on crisismanagement, which I think it is right now. If you look at indigenous cultures, which do involve spirituality in their healing, there is a peaceful acceptance of life’s challenges and the passing of life. I think we could learn something from that. In our culture, we’re so wound up, so busy all the time. Most patients get about 7 minutes in the office. But if we learned to be more connected, to honor each other’s feelings, I think the whole experience would change. In the end, I think all patients really want to be heard, and to feel connected and honored. See AUTHOR, page 15

RSF Women’s Fund Feb. 7 meeting to feature TOMS Shoes •Company provides shoes for children in need around the world By Diane Y. Welch Contributor Women love shoes! But shoes that in essence give back are a great buy. And that's the main attraction to members of the Rancho Santa Fe Women's Fund. From 9-11 a.m. on Monday Feb. 7, at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Allie Tsavarides, outreach manager for TOMS Shoes, has been invited as a keynote speaker for the group's first general meeting of the year when she will talk about TOMS Shoes and its unique business approach. As a for-profit company it nevertheless has a philanthropic modality that provides shoes, globally, for children. With its “One for One Movement” each pair of shoes purchased is matched with a pair that is given away to a child in need. The consumer in effect becomes the philanthropist. Shoes will be on display and after the meeting everyone is encouraged to try on the many new styles and classic favorites. One of the goals of the Women's Fund is to educate
TOMS Shoes provides shoes for children in need around the world. (Above right) Founder Blake Mycoskie. (Courtesy) and inspire its members to be informed philanthropists, said Chair of the Advisory Committee Donna Walker. “TOMS Shoes has this unique model that we wanted to share with our membership” Walker said. “Also, our members have been very generous in providing support through volunteer projects in addition to the grants, so the Buy One, Give One approach seemed like a great fit — a unique giving model and very impactful.” Shoes bought that day may also be donated to the MOM cause, Military Outreach Ministry, in which
case both pairs will benefit children in need. In her presentation, Tsavarides will talk about upto-date news on TOMS and also the history of the company for those not familiar with the back story. In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help he created TOMS (Tomorrow's) Shoes. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made
possible by TOMS customers. TOMS will formerly celebrate it's fifth birthday on May 5, 2011. Many children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk. A leading cause of disease in developing countries is soiltransmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause, according to the TOMS website. Wearing shoes also prevents feet from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential. “As of last September we have been able to give away over one million pairs of shoes to children in need around the world, in 23 countries,”
Tsavarides said. The company partners with giving organizations on the ground to facilitate the distribution of the shoes. “We have over 100 partnerships large and small who are helping us get the shoes on children's feet and doing it in a sustainable way,” Tsavarides said. They try to maintain a relationship with each recipient of the shoes so that as they grow they will receive a new pair. “Usually twice a year we replenish those shoes. We want the children to continue to grow and stay healthy,” Tsavarides said. Through the Women's Fund B-O-G-O (Buy One Give One) Away Shoe Sale, the group will be able to make a big purchase together. There will be several of the current season's samples of shoes on display, although not all sizes will be available. “We have all our inventory with lots of different styles and colors and all sizes on our website,” Tsavarides said. “In purchasing the shoes this is a new philanthropic way to get plugged in and to make a dif-
ference, to impact both the community of Rancho Santa Fe and the world in a positive way.” “At the Women's Fund we found this concept very exciting,” said Walker, “and hope that the business model will be embraced by other companies and entrepreneurs in the near future. The philosophy fits in well with our own which allows each of our women to join together in meaningful and engaging ways to give back to the greater community.” Following the meeting and refreshments, all present will be able to browse selections of TOMS shoes and will be given a special code to order from the company's online store. The public is welcome to attend. There is a $10 entry fee, and reservations and payment must be made in advance. RSVP no later than Feb. 1.

Local residents enjoy ‘amazing’ adventure trip to Australia with Oprah By Diane Y. Welch Contributor Once in a lifetime an event occurs that transforms one's life. When that event is an unexpected trip down under, thanks to Oprah, then the world is watching. For the three local ladies whose website, style substancesoul.com, caught the eye and the hearts of Oprah's producers, the recent gift of an all expenses paid eight-day trip to Australia has rendered them humbled, grateful, giddy, and still floating on air. Lois Alter Mark, Susan Jensen, and Amy Krause each used the word “amazing” when describing the trip that has changed their lives and which they couldn't even have imagined a few months ago. The magic started before the three knew about the trip. “We all have watched Oprah for years, in fact, our website was inspired by Oprah's philosophy to 'look good, feel good and do good,'” said Alter Mark, who had received an email with questions for an Ultimate Viewers contest about how Oprah had

inspired them. One of the questions was if there was a show that stood out more than another. Alter Mark knew exactly what she was going to include. She had seen Sara Blakely as an Oprah guest when Blakely retold how when she was struggling to start her new business, Oprah became the catalyst that helped her found SPANKS, now a multimillion-dollar industry. When Oprah mentioned that she cut the feet off her pantyhose, Blakely took this as a sign, developed her own footless panty hose, and through hard work and determination was so successful that she was able to give back $1 million to Oprah's charity. That show struck a chord for Alter Mark. “This was my sign to start our website,” she said. “And I kept that vision in my mind as I filled out the answers in the email.” The suspense increased when the three were asked to produce a two-minute video that reinforced them as Ultimate Viewers, which then won them tickets to be a part of Oprah's show for

and Amy Krause with Oprah been on Jensen's “bucket list” she said, “and to have this experience with my two closest friends along with 302 people was truly amazing.” On arrival in Australia, the red carpet treatment greeted the group, along with an Aboriginal welcoming ceremony that set the tone for a week of five-starplus treatment. “There was no detail overlooked, everything was taken care of,” Jensen said. Day one was a visit to the Sydney Opera House
with a champagne reception and a private concert. A short boat ride took a subgroup (that the three were part of) to the Taronga zoo. There was a bird show, dinner, live music and the high point, “We got to hold koalas and pet them,” said Jensen. Day two was a private beach party on Hamilton Island visiting Whitehaven Beach, one of top 10 beaches in the world. Oprah and her best friend, Gayle, flew in by helicopter to join them. ''They were both very real and we were able to talk with them briefly. We could see that Oprah genuinely cared about each of us. She was so grateful to us for being Ultimate Viewers, but we were way more grateful to her,” quipped Alter Mark. Then there was the Great Barrier Reef expedition on day three. “It was like our own personal National Geographic adventure,” said Krause. The trip also took a lot of people out of their comfort zone. Two-hundred people out of the group had never been out of the country, said Krause. There were
people who were afraid of heights climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and people who were afraid of water snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. Each day was packed with activities and the fact that the whole world was watching added an extra dimension to the trip. “It was like being part of pop culture history,” Krause said. Camera crews followed the groups, and edited footage will be aired on Oprah's daytime show in the next few weeks. But more than anything, the other winning participants were remarkable, said Krause. “We go through our lives and we get hung up on working and our personal problems and if you just stop to talk to others you hear their amazing stories. And what Oprah says is true, while we may all be different, in essence we are the same.” Visit www.stylesubstancesoul.com to read more about the Oprah Ultimate Australian Adventure.

was a football fan, and proved it by going on their first “date” that evening to a Riptide football game at the Sports Arena where he was on duty as a team physician. “After a long night of me caring for the athletes and she having to sit by herself a lot, we left late and she said, ‘Gosh, it’s already 11 o’clock. The time went by so fast.” That cinched it. “Oh, man,” he thought. “I’d better hold on to her.” Fast forward to the present: The 45-year-old Dr.
Quick Facts Name: F. Allen Richburg, M.D. Distinction: Dr. Richburg is a partner in the San Diego Sports Medicine & Family Health Center; head team physician with the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, team physician for San Diego State University; and team physician for Westview High School and other are high schools. He is a board certified family practice physician and primary care sports physician. Born: Fresno, California, 45 years ago Education: B.A. in biology, California State University, Fresno, 1988; M.S. in anatomy, Loma Linda University Graduate School, 1990; M.D., Loma Linda University School of Medicine, 1994; residency in family practice, Santa Monica/UCLA Medical Center, 1994-97; fellowship in primary care sports medicine, Stanford University, 1997-98. Family: He and his wife, Amanda, have been married five years. They have two sons: A.J., 4, and Lawson, 1. Interests: ocean fishing
Bicycle racing, bird hunting, and
Regimen: Weekly race training at the velodrome in Balboa Park, working out daily at home on a stationary bike and lifting light weights. Diet: “I’ve been very, very lucky to have grown up with a healthy diet,” which typically consists of a light breakfast with cereal, non-fat milk, fruit; a low-fat turkey sandwich for lunch; and dinners of red meat, chicken, or fish and vegetables with a minimal number of eggs.” Recent film: “My wife and I have seen one film together. ‘Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,’ a [2006] race car comedy starring Will Ferrell.” Philosophy: “Treat others as you would treat yourself; and have absolutely no regrets.”
Rothburg and, Amanda, now his wife, have been married for five years. They have two young sons, A.J., 4, and Lawson, 1, and, yes, they do go bird hunting and even went fishing for marlin in Cabo San Lucas last November. We interviewed Dr. Richburg at his office at the San Diego Sports Medicine & Family Health Center in Sorrento Valley. As a family practice physician, he treats a full range of patients “from babies to grannies,” he said, and, as a primary care sports physician, he serves as head team physician for the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, and team physician for San Diego State University, as well as for Westview High School and other area high schools. His job, as a team physician, he says, is to help athletes with the latest advanced technology, information and treatment so they won’t have to take time off from training. “The challenges,” he said, “at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, “are keeping those athletes working out and helping them reach their goals to compete at the multiple national championships, world championships, world cups and eventually at the Olympics.” Most of the athletes he sees have injuries which he treats without interrupting their training unnecessarily. “From studies of ligaments and joint injuries, we know that rest isn’t always the best treatment, but the right type of ‘active’ rest is important,” he said. Workouts are tailored to the individual athletes “with safety and [career] longevity in mind.” He uses the same approach to his work with

high school athletes. Richburg joined the San Diego center in 1999 after completing a four-year residency in family practice at Santa Monica/UCLA Medical Center and a year residency in primary care sports medicine at Stanford University. He also holds a B.A. in biology from California State University, Fresno, an M.S. degree in anatomy from Loma Linda University; and an M.D. degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine. The eldest in a family of four children, Richburg was born and raised in the San Joaquin Valley city of Fresno. His father was an ophthalmologist (eye specialist); his mother, a registered nurse.
Although both of his parents were in medicine, they never pressured him to follow in their footsteps. They encouraged him to look at all options “from
dent at California State, Fresno, he competed in triathlons and scored the most wrestling wins in the history of the university as a 150-weight-class wrestling star. In 1984, he made the All American All-Stars Wrestling Team as a freshman and went on to win NCAA National Wrestling Championships in 1985, 1986 and 1988 and a PAC10 Championship in 1988. In wrestling, he said, you compete at the lowest weight you can maintain, which for him was a fighting-trim 150 pounds. “The day after the National Championships in 1988, I went up to 185 pounds,” he laughed recall, “and I still weigh 185.” He is 5-foot-9. After a stellar career in college sports, he felt a competitive void and quenched it by seriously taking up bike racing, which he had been introduced to as a college triathlete. He raced “as a hobby” throughout medical school on teams in Belgium, Germany and Italy, and collected several USCF (US Cycling Federation) category 1, track category 2,

These days, although he still trains and races for fitness and mental health, he admits his racing is being “trumped” by his role as husband and father. “My goals now are to be a good father, good husband and a good doctor,” he said.

RSF Garden Club’s The Shoppe offers unique items at great prices By Karen Billing If not for the green sign out front, a lot of people might not even know The Shoppe exists in the Rancho Santa Fe village. Yet three days a week, the doors are open to the basement thrift shop underneath the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club at the corner of La Granada and Avenida de Acacias. Just down the steps is a place to find gently used items at a steal—from Madame Alexander collectible dolls to a custom designer headboard and matching armoire. “You never know what you’re going to find,” said volunteer Paul Gozzo, who co-manages the shop with Donna Ferrier. Gozzo, a Rancho Santa Fe resident since 1977, is just one of a staff of 15 faithful volunteers who help run the shop that benefits the Garden Club upstairs. Paul Gozzo, co-manages “I love Rancho Santa Fe and this is one way to give The Shoppe at the RSF Garden back to the community,” Gozzo said. “I really enjoy workClub. Photo/Karen Billing ing here, meeting people and broadening my friendships. I get a lot of satisfaction from helping everybody out.” Garden Club President since June, Helen DiZio, described the volunteers as a “rock solid” staple of the club. “(The volunteers) are very important to us, they bring in about a third of our revenue and that goes to keep a roof over out head,” DiZio said. “And they’re really doing a service to the community, getting a lot of unwanted stuff and selling it to people who need it.” For several years the Garden Club ran a popular rummage sale once a year to help benefit the club. Now it’s like a rummage sale three days a week in the cozy little shop, filled wall to wall with items. Donations are dropped off near daily and volunteers sort through and price the haul. “There are some jewels among the donations,” Gozzo said of items such as Ferragamo shoes resold for $5, and valuable vases, artwork and furniture. There is a large selection of clothing for men, women and children, kitchenware, sports gear, games, linens and even some classic records. They recently received a collection of Barbie dolls from the early 1990s, still in their boxes. “What I admire is a lot of people in the Ranch have money, but they don’t mind coming in here and buying things because we do have a lot of nice items,” Gozzo said. Items that don’t sell after a certain amount of time are donated to Father Joe’s—the charitable organization comes for pick-ups once a week. Proceeds from The Shoppe help maintain the Garden Club building and the grounds. Gozzo said under the leadership of DiZio and the new board, a lot of good things are happening at the club. Several improvements have been made to the facility and the club’s calendar is filled with events such as concerts, classes, dances, bridge games and even exercise classes. “The club is becoming much more vibrant...it’s a totally new organization,” said DiZio. “We’re reaching out to he community as a whole for new members and younger members, whoever wants to be a part of the social heart of Rancho Santa Fe. So far we’ve had a lot of success with that.” Up next for the Garden Club is a basket weaving and story telling on Friday, Jan. 28; on Feb. 2 there will be a talk on birds of the garden; and on Feb. 9 they will host a decoupage event. (Also, see the Garden Club column in this issue.) The Shoppe is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Cash and personal checks only. Donations are accepted daily and tax-deductible receipts are available. Electronics are not accepted. Fore more information, call (858) 756-4101.

For the 10th straight year, Time Warner Cable is calling on students in grades 4 through 12 to write essays of 150 to 500 words telling why their mom should be named one of San Diego’s 50 Best Moms. Past student essay winners include nominations for their moms, fathers, grandparents or others playing the role of “mom” in their life. Who knows what this year will bring? The essays will be judged by a panel of local journalists, politicians and teachers who will select the 50 Best Moms for 2011 based on the children’s explanation of why they believe their mom is
the best. The writers of three essays – one from each school level: elementary, middle and high school – will be awarded a new Sony VAIO laptop computer. In addition, the winning students’ teachers will also each receive a $250 gift card for supplies for their classrooms.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
RSF resident takes fallen soldiers’ families to Las Vegas By Diane Y. Welch Contributor While the beauties of the nation convened in Las Vegas recently, each vying for the title of Miss America (celebrating its 90-year anniversary), a group of wives, daughters and sons of fallen military members were also there to soak up the excitement and to receive five-star treatment thanks to a group of volunteers organized and facilitated by the charity Got Your Back Network (GYBN). This was the second annual initiative, dubbed Project Gratitude, that aims to inspire the children of fallen soldiers and to comfort and show gratitude to their mothers. Rancho Santa Fe resident Lena Evans was one of the volunteers who chaperoned the group of eight wives and 12 children for an all-expense-paid excursion that gave everyone involved a lift to their spirits. Lena Evans is founder and CEO of Jade Phoenix; she designs high-end apparel and also oversees charitable grants and marketing strategies for businesses. She has served as a trustee for the Women in Film Foundation, as well as holding numerous

The women, children and volunteers of the charity Got Your Back Network. Rancho Santa Fe resident Lena Evans is in the back row, at the far right. board positions for other entertainment-related charities. She currently supports charitable causes in social services, medical and arts education fields, and local outreach programs. Evans is a close friend of GYBN founder Dr. Andrew Baldwin. She gave some of the back story of the event and the organization whose mission is “to provide the children of our country's fallen soldiers the opportunity to intimately interact with our country's most talented leaders,” according to its website
Key sponsors included American Airlines, which flew families and volunteers from around the country to Las Vegas, and The Venetian Hotel, which hosted a red carpet arrival, said Evans. The Venetian Hotel, with Canyon Ranch Spa, sponsored a day of beauty treatments for moms and children and provided lunch and tickets to the Blue Man Group show followed by a back stage tour and a private meet and greet with the artists. CLS 24-hour chauffeur-driven limousine service provided transportation
throughout the tour. Planet Hollywood donated accommodations for the families, and Darci Hansen, editor-in-chief of Elan Magazine, and cooriginator of Project Gratitude, hosted a party at the Paris Hotel with cofounder Sharlene Hawkes, who was Miss America in 1985, said Evans. “Two of the moms were interviewed at local news stations and later everyone enjoyed brunch with former Miss Americas, [and] the families [were] presented as guests of honor,” said Evans. “All the moms and
children received special gold and diamond brooches as honorary Miss Americas.” There were helicopter tours of Las Vegas, cosponsored by American Airlines and Sundance Tours, and the Mirage Hotel sponsored dinner and tickets to the Terry Fator Show — and a VIP meet and greet with him. The excitement continued as the group met the 2011 contestants and also the former Miss Americas. “Some of the girls were able to try on some of the women's crowns and they were over the moon with smiles from ear to ear,” said Kathleen Gagg, executive director for GYBN. “These women are such great role models and can be such a great inspiration to young girls. This year's 2011 Miss America, Miss Nebraska, Teresa Scanlan, was the youngest [contestant] ever to win and I think it shows them that any dream can come true and you just have to keep believing and moving forward,” said Gagg. Got Your Back Network is a foundation committed to returning the salute to the families of the nation's fallen. Its
mission is to provide the children of the country's fallen soldiers the opportunity to intimately interact with the nation's most talented leaders. Through diverse coordinated events, and one-on-one interactions with corporate executives, politicians, professional athletes, and entertainers, GYBN provides the avenue for the children of the fallen to learn and be inspired by the most successful leaders of our generation. “This is all about remembering the great service and, ultimately, the great sacrifice that so many families make to preserve our way of life, and defend our liberties. Giving these women and children a royal weekend is the very least we can do for America's greatest treasures and I am so thrilled that we are continuing this tradition,” said Sharlene Hawkes. On the heels of the four-day event, Evans has been invited by GYBN to serve as board member. She is honored and excited to take on the responsibility, she said.

Education Matters
The fight for civics education By Marsha Sutton T h e Dreyfuss Initiative, founded by Encinitas resident and Academy award-winning actor R i c h a r d Dreyfuss, seeks Marsha to revive and expand the Sutton teaching of civics in our public schools. There’s nothing like some major star power to bring a lot of resources and attention to a worthy cause. Begun in 2006, The Dreyfuss Initiative is a nonprofit organization focused on the pressing need for young people to increase their understanding of U.S. history, the principles of American democracy, founding documents, the workings of our country’s government, and the importance of civil, rational discourse in a free and democratic society. “America is a miracle, and only Americans don’t know that anymore, because we don’t teach it,” states TDI’s mission statement.
Richard Dreyfuss Since his organization’s inception, Dreyfuss has been speaking regularly and passionately about the need for more civics awareness in public education. Americans, Dreyfuss said on Fox in November 2008, are not bound by race, religion, geography or heritage. “We are bound only by ideas,” he said. “And if you don’t teach those ideas, we are not bound.” On Jan. 17, Dreyfuss hosted “It’s Time for a Talk: The National Conversation on Revitalizing America’s Civic Future.” Two sets of panelists, one in San Diego at the University of San Diego and the other in Washington, D.C., as well as education historian and author Diane
Ravitch in New York, were linked through a Webcast, with live broadcast coverage provided by C-SPAN. At the event, Dreyfuss spoke about the deterioration of civics education in schools and the need for more active engagement of citizenry if we are to preserve our unique democracy. “We have removed those classes from almost all of our public schools,” he said. In place of understanding and appreciation for the unique freedoms America offers, we now have “common senselessness, apathy and ignorance.” Dreyfuss said that people who have come to America from other countries – places where oppression, tyranny and abysmal poverty limit access to opportunity and liberty – understand full well what America stands for. They know it represents hope for a better way of life and freedom from repression and persecution. “We have a right and reason to be proud of our country,” he said. But knowledge of our unique place in history, the wisdom of our founders and rare documents like the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights is not something children are born with. “You have to learn it,” Dreyfuss said. Sadly, the statistics are depressing. Rick Shenkman, vicepresident of the political social networking site Vote iQ, said the majority of Americans don’t know what the three branches of government are and only one in five knows there are 100 U.S. senators. Shenkman, one of the San Diego panelists, said adults today have had more schooling than in previous generations, but they know less. And most don’t even vote. He suggested that television has dumbed down our democracy with its focus on entertainment and preoccupation with performance rather than substance. “We’ve become a less serious people because of television,” he said, calling TV “a terrible transmitter of information.” He said reading newspapers is vital to a fully informed citizenry and suggested that teachers give current events quizzes weekly. “Television has made big things small and small things big,” Dreyfuss added. Pollster and political consultant Frank Luntz, also speaking in San Diego, said he was more concerned about the Internet than television, citing a number of examples of incendiary speech and ad hominem attacks by critics who hide behind the anonymity of the Web. “I’m not calling for censorship. I’m calling for a common-sense use of dialogue,” said Luntz. He argued for better communication. “If you teach students how to listen, that will lead to better citizenship.” Although the primary mission of The Dreyfuss Initiative is to advance civics education, the conversation on Jan. 17 included the need for public debate to be respectful, intelligent and rational. Civil debate, panelists agreed, has evaporated as partisan political banter has grown increasingly shrill. Luntz argued that education on civility starts in the home. “It’s what we do in the house,” he said. “It’s how we treat our friends. It starts early in life.” To prepare our children to be leaders who will respect and honor our country’s origins and unique place in the history of civilization, we have a duty to teach them not just the facts of history but also the value of reason, logic, clarity of thought, critical analysis, debate and civility, Dreyfuss said.
Panel members in San Diego consisted of Dreyfuss, Luntz, Shenkman and retired U.S. Navy Admiral Bruce Boland. Panelists in Washington, D.C. were Common Cause president Bob Edgar, Wall Street Journal writer John Fund, former Colorado governor and past Los Angeles Unified School District superintendent Roy Romer, and The Dreyfuss Initiative’s executive director Scot Faulkner. Students in poverty Linked from New York, Diane Ravitch said children need to learn about the creation of our democracy “so they can appreciate the long and difficult struggle.” She said schools today devote “so little time for the history of government and civics,” blaming much of this on the No Child Left Behind Act and its “emphasis on basic skills only.” Many agree that criticism of George W. Bush’s NCLB is justified, with its penalties for lack of improvements on standardized tests that mostly define academic success as excellence in math, reading and writing exclusively. Romer said that 20 to 25 other developed nations “do a better job educationally and we can learn from them.” “The link between spending and better education isn’t so clear,” Fund said, noting that America is spending more on education than ever before, “even after accounting for inflation.” He said things can be done “that don’t involve money but can improve educational outcomes.” Ravitch said if we stumble, it’s because we have so many children – 20 percent, she said – living in poverty. “That will have an impact on student achievement.” Calling that number a disgrace, she said, “More equality will lead to more brotherhood and more of a sense of ‘we’ and not ‘me.’” Few would disagree with the importance of civics in public schools. Educators and legislators will nod in agreement and wring their hands and say that it’s a crying shame. But they will then ask how they are to infuse K-12 curriculum with a greater focus on civics when districts are squeezed for money and state and federal governments don’t recognize civicsrelated subjects as important (an ironic twist, that those involved in government don’t acknowledge the value of their own systems.) In an email to Dreyfuss, I asked how public schools are to accomplish what he wants, given the funding crisis and the constraints and demands of laws like NCLB. “For a subject that has gone unmentioned in the public awareness, simply talking about it isn't a bad start,” Dreyfuss wrote back. “But I would answer your specific question by saying, ‘I don’t know’ without a shred of guilt. That is the job of creative teachers, writers, supers, students – once they acknowledge the importance of Civics Untaught …” Dreyfuss said that lack of money is not a reasonable excuse. He suggested that educators who understand the importance of civics can find ways to make the subject accessible and exciting, engage students and make parents demand it. “We are the richest country in the history of the world, and can afford to do anything we wish, if we wish it,” he said in his email. “The trick is to make the powers that be share our wish …” The Dreyfuss Initiative calls America’s guarantee of freedom for all “the most important political message in the history of civilization.” It’s critical that America’s youth understand how our ancestors came here to escape persecution and live in a land of liberty and justice. “They came here for safe haven and a second chance,” Dreyfuss said. In his email to me, Dreyfuss bemoaned our society’s addiction to instant gratification. “If I told you that bringing civics back would take a decade or more, most people would throw up their hands and say, ‘forget it.’ But it will take a decade, and you can’t say, ‘forget it.’ You have to keep plugging away, not be listened to, for years, until they get it.” The creation of our country’s remarkable form of government was a seminal event in the history of humankind. In an age when citizens are gradually becoming disenchanted with the rigidity of public education’s narrow curriculum, Dreyfuss’s cause is starting to resonate with parents who recognize the immense value of lessons that go well beyond the test scores. “The country doesn’t happen by itself,” The Dreyfuss Initiative states. “It takes patience, respect, and creativity. We’ve abandoned that for too long, and it’s time to get serious about learning to understand and maintain this nation, or it will continue this inescapable decay. … “We are a rare light in an overwhelming darkness of cruelty and oppression. The only ones who can beat us, is us. The only ones who can teach us, is us.” To support The Dreyfuss Initiative or learn more about it, see www.thedreyfussinitiative.org.

AUTHOR continued from page 4 Having worked in the healthcare industry for many years, I imagine you speak from experience. What have been some of the experiences that brought you to that realization? There was a baby boy born with heart defects, who I will never forget. His parents were very involved in his care, and as a result I got to know the family quite well. The baby went into cardiac arrest and I was able to save him through CPR. Two weeks later, he died of pneumonia. His parents send me a card that said “Thank you for being a life pre-
server.” I never expected that, but it was big teaching experience. It taught me that there had been a healing that had taken place. And that even though he was gone, we had shared a connection, and that meant a lot to his parents. I was able to let go, and I think they were, too. It’s experiences like these that have taught me that, at times, patients just want you to sit with them and be present. Sometimes the most you can do is simply bear witness. What kind of feedback have you heard? I received an email from a woman on the East Coast who read the book while she had a family in hospice care.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Santa Fe Irrigation District meeting water challenges Santa Fe Irrigation District (District) is the local government agency that provides water service to Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and the City of Solana Beach. On Nov. 18, the district approved water rates for 2011 after a year of careful consideration and a difficult decision-making process. At the same time, a cap on potential rate increases in 2012-13 was set that will be subject to review by the board of directors each year prior to implementation. While the decision to raise water rates is not popular, failure to do so could adversely impact everyone in the community. There are many complex issues confronting the district as we start this new year. The primary issue we face is water supply uncertainty due to drought impacts, Federal court restric-

tions on the delivery of imported water, and the resulting allocation of Colorado River and Northern California Water to the San Diego region. Supply uncertainty, the need to invest in aging infrastructure to ensure reliability and economic conditions create an environment that is one of the most difficult periods of time for water utilities in the history of California. Water agencies face challenges dramatically different than five years ago. Despite water shortages and the economic downturn experienced nationwide, the district has remained strong. We have maintained our financial strength and are recognized nationally for our financial management, policies and reporting. While many cities and states have experienced traumatic financial deterioration, SFID has demonstrated the ability to succeed in the most difficult of times. In December 2008, Standard & Poor’s upgraded the SFID credit rating to “AAA”, the highest level. SFID is the only water agency in San Diego with a “AAA” rating and one of only 15 water agencies in California. Over the past five years, the district board of directors has worked diligently to ensure the reliability of the water system infrastructure and to identify initiatives to augment water supplies. Even while dealing with recent supply shortages, the district has assessed the condition of existing infrastructure, prioritized and implemented critical capital improvements. The district coordinates with other agencies to protect our local Lake Hodges water supply, identify and implement recycled water projects and support alternative supply projects such as the proposed Carlsbad Desalination Project. Protection and development of local water supplies are key initiatives of the district and ensure local control of these resources. Today, water is a resource under stress and we are being forced to change how we think about water. Even with the higher rates now in effect, the district’s water rates are in the bottom half of all water agencies in the San Diego region while we continue to provide reliable, high quality water and excellent customer service. To ensure long term fiscal sustainability, the district will continue to assess all of its operations, programs and projects. Prioritizing expensive infrastructure replacement projects, managing internal costs (including labor and benefits), ensuring efficient operations and dealing with water supply uncertainties will be key to successfully meeting the challenges this new decade holds. As an elected official, I welcome public interest in the business of the district and the input we receive is invaluable as we work to carry out our mission. This mission will be guided by the responsible stewardship of our elected board of directors and informed, thoughtful, public policy making. Michael T. Hogan President, Board of Directors Santa Fe Irrigation District

Prescription drug dangers all too real Thank you for publishing the notice about Tuesday’s presentation in Solana Beach on the dangers of prescription drug and heroin abuse among teens. As the County Supervisor representing Solana Beach and surrounding communities, I have seen first-hand the tragic consequences suffered by teens who had considered themselves indestructible. All too often, the nightmare of drug abuse begins with leftover pain-killers or other prescription drugs right from the family’s medicine cabinet. My office took action on this issue in 2009, organizing the formation of the Oxy Task Force — a consortium of county, state and federal officials — whose mission was to educate the community about the danger of OxyContin and to reduce its supply. The task force recently has expanded to include all prescription drugs. As we campaign to raise awareness about prescription drug dangers we also have acted to get rid of the drugs themselves. Last year, Sheriff Bill Gore and I authored an ordinance to install 23 prescription drug drop-off boxes at secure locations throughout the county. Residents can dump prescription and over-the-counter drugs in these receptacles with no questions asked. One of the drop-off boxes can be found at the Encinitas Sheriff’s Station. We also have hosted take-back days, where I joined Sheriff’s deputies and DEA agents in the collection efforts. Our most recent event netted nearly 4,800 pounds of drugs. These are positive steps, but complacency could invite tragedy. I appreciate Sheriff’s Sgt. David Ross once again working late to inform the community and I applaud parents who are committed to spreading the word about this important issue. Parents who believe their child might have a drug problem should call the County’s Access and Crisis Line at (800) 4793339.

FAIRGROUNDS continued from page 1 “fair market value” on language contained in eminent domain law, which is used when a government agency takes property from a private owner for public use. In his Jan. 3 letter to state officials, Penniman also contended that the Integra appraisal did not take into account the state’s agreement to sell the Orange County fairgrounds to a private company for $100 million. The Del Mar Fairgrounds, wrote Penniman, is nearly three times the size of the Orange County fairgrounds, and includes additional facilities such as a large covered arena and horse racing track. “We just want to find out, what’s the property worth,” Penniman said. “Let’s find out what the market is.” Filanc said the Orange County deal is “completely different,” because it involves a sale to a private company for development, while the Del Mar deal requires the property to remain as a fairgrounds and horse racing venue. However, according to a
report in the Orange County Register, a law approved by voters in the city of Costa Mesa, where the Orange County fairgrounds is located, would allow the property owner to hold equestrian, concert and live entertainment events, but could not use the land for a casino, shopping center, housing, storage buildings or hotels, among other restrictions. Also watching closely for the results of the fairgrounds’ new appraisal — and Gov. Jerry Brown’s decision on whether to support the Del Mar fairgrounds sale — are officials from Solana Beach, which borders the fairgrounds to the north. If the sale goes through, Solana Beach would appoint a member of the board that oversees the fairgrounds, a panel which would also include representatives from Del Mar, the city and county of San Diego and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority. “Do I like the new price? No,” said Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner. “We are sort of in a watch and wait mode.”

Local Girl Scouts help the environment By Linelle Warner, Cadette troop #1106 from Rancho Santa Fe On Jan. 15, the Solana Ranch Service Unit Girls Scouts gathered at the City of Carlsbad’s Lake Calaveras Preserve for an extraordinary event at the park. The girls planted many shrubs all around a section of the preserve to restore its conservation and healthy habitat. Why are these hard-working Girl Scouts doing this conservation movement? For one, these girls will complete one step to receiving the second highest award one Girl Scout could ever get, the Silver Award. Another reason, though, is not for the award, but for nature. These girls definitely want to help the environment by planting a tremendous amount of shrubs in a local park. But why and how would they think planting shrubs would help the environment and community? One Girl Scout, from Troop 1106 of Rancho Santa Fe, states, “Planting these shrubs will help the community by bringing lots of oxygen to the atmosphere and therefore creating a healthier environment for both people and nature.” And the most important question “was this fun,” was asked to one other Girl Scout from Troop #1106 of Rancho Santa Fe, answering, “Yes, because I like helping nature.” But not just Girls Scouts came to help at this movement; members of the Carlsbad community came as well. Why? Because they care about their environment, and they care about their community in the future, and if it will be green or not. It certainly will be green after this wonderful, moving conservation event! A few thanks go out to the City of Carlsbad, because this event wouldn’t be made possible without them! Thank-you Carlsbad, for all of your support to the Girls Scouts and the environment!

MEETINGS continued from page 1 that’s the time period that we have more information (about).” In November, directors raised water rates by 12 percent, an increase that takes effect Feb. 1. The rate hike came on the heels of a 50 percent rise in the district’s water rates over the past three years. Directors have also approved rate hikes of up to 12 percent for each of the next two years, although the need for the increases will be considered each year before they take effect. The main cause of the increases, district officials said, is the rising cost of imported water, which comes from two sources: the Colorado River and northern California. The Santa Fe district — like other local water agencies — has been working to cut costs in other areas, and explore local sources such as expansion of recycled water programs, in an effort to keep rates down as much as possible. Since a public hearing in October, when a standing room only crowd turned out
Rancho Santa Fe Review to criticize the proposed rate increases, a number of district residents have attended the board’s monthly meetings, urging cuts in such areas as employee pensions and board compensation. Several residents spoke out at last week’s meeting as well. Sam Ursini told the board to exercise leadership by trimming its own compensation and medical benefits. Simply contending that other districts also provide such benefits to their elected officials “doesn’t fly,” Ursini said. Another resident, Rankin van Anda, said the board needs to undertake pension reform, explore consolidation of administrative functions with other water districts and reduce or eliminate health care benefits for board members. “Their comments are not going unheard,” said Hogan. Pension reform is one of the topics Hogan said he wants to tackle in the upcoming workshop meetings. The district’s options are limited by the rules of CalPERS, a state retirement system to which the district belongs.
Hogan said he wants district staff to research options — such as creating a new tier of lower retirement benefits for new hires — before the discussion. The workshops provide an opportunity for members of the public to hear the same information as the board, to give their opinions and to listen to the board’s deliberations as it sets policy for the district, Hogan said. “It’s one way to get everyone on the same page,” he said. As to the issue of board compensation, Hogan said the board discusses that issue each year at its February meeting, and the topic will come up on the board’s regular agenda next month. District directors receive a per diem payment of $200 for each meeting they attend. They are also eligible to receive medical and dental benefits paid for by the district.
ODOR continued from page 1 ate the odor, Bardin said. In the long-term, he said, the district may look at options such as cutting back some of the reeds that line the reservoir, or dredge out silt, which would keep the bed of the reservoir submerged. Such options may require environmental mitigation because the reservoir is a habitat area for animal and plant species, Bardin said.

GOLF continued from page 1 the members they lost had to downsize or move due to physical or economic factors. “Simply put, it’s just a proposal to continue our relationship with good friends and golf club members we wanted to maintain a relationship with,” Boyce said. Membership at the club is currently at 535 people and manager Steve Nordstrom said they have lost about 100 members in the last five years. “What we’re not getting is joiners,” Nordstrom said. “Where we used to get 40 a year, now it’s less than 20, we’re not replacing those that we’ve lost. But we are faring a lot better than other clubs in the area.” The number of people who would be considered for this non-resident membership could not be quantified—Boyce said it could be one or 20 people. Nordstrom said that rounds of golf at the club are down 12 percent from 20082010 so adding a handful of non-residents would not stress the course at this point. Reaction to the proposed change was mixed by both board members and residents present at the meeting. Director Queen said he was disappointed that there were no financial projections associated with the change. “I’m not moved by the fact that someone has to move out of town, I’m moved by the fact that this change will increase revenue for the golf club,” Queen said. Ken Bien, a former golf club board and Association board president, said it is a slippery slope to allow nonresidents to use a Covenantowned asset and that it dilutes the value of the club. “I’m very sensitive about people having to downsize,” said Bien, adding that he had downsized himself but opted to
stay within the Covenant. “The reason I did is primarily because of the golf club.” Greg Hillgren said the change needs more review as the golf club is among the top six in the state and is a privilege of owning in the Covenant. “The average membership of the golf club is 15 years so in this proposal, you don’t even have to be an average length member to be re-instated, it doesn’t seem reasonable or fair,” Hillgren said. “I don’t think 10 years in this community is that long.” He suggested the nonresident membership could ease a dislocation from the club and sunset three years after the resident has left the Covenant. Mark McClure, a resident who has been in the golf business for 30 years, said it is common for clubs to have this kind of membership. “Golf is a very social sport,” he said, noting that it seems more than fine to have people who have been members for over 10 years to come back and enjoy playing golf with their friends. Resident Susan Marr said that it is a very emotional time for older members who may be forced to downsize or move into a retirement community for an ill spouse to have their “social network frayed” by leaving the club, as well. “We’re not looking at a significant number of people, it won’t have a significant impact,” McClure said. “It could be a fairly bleak situation with real estate over the next three to four years, we’re not going to see a lot of new members, we may see a lot leave.” Association board president Tom Lang agreed that the Association is in uncharted waters as far as th economy goes and that the change could provide a little insurance. He reminded residents that the change is a one-year option and could be reversed if it is not working.
FIELD continued from page 1 The under-13 size field would expand the existing field landscape and require a nine-foot retaining wall. The track around the field would remain, as well as a long jump area. Delaney said one of the important decisions the board will have to make will be whether to use artificial turf or natural grass on the field. With artificial turf, the field would cost $1,776,700. With natural turf, the cost would be $1,281,770. “There are a lot of people who are pro natural grass and a lot who are pro-artificial turf,” said Debra Vaughn Cleff of Webb Cleff Architecture and Engineering, the firm selected for the field renovation. “I think it’s important to understand the statistics and information that come with both of these options.” Vaughn Cleff showed the board members several pros and cons for both options that they should consider before their Feb. 3 decision. Some included; • Maintenance and water costs would be less with an artificial turf, but it does have to be replaced every 10 to 15 years at a cost of $375,000. • Artificial turf is also playable year round, but can range 15 to 45 degrees hotter in the heat. • Cars cannot be driven on artificial turf, limiting the area of the school carnival held every year. • Ligament injuries are reduced by artificial turf, although there are the risks of injuries such as turf toe, turf burn and MRSA without proper cleaning.

By Karen Billing Staff Writer Musician BC Jean, a former Torrey Pines High School student, recently made her first national television appearance on the “Rachael Ray Show” on Jan. 17. As a songwriter, BC Jean found success with her song “If I Were A Boy,” performed by Beyonce. Now she is looking to get her voice known. The Rachael Ray experience was a little nerve-racking but ultimately very fun, Jean said. “It was really quick, we played my song once and the audience gave a really great response,” said Jean, adding that Ray was very warm and welcoming. On “Rachael Ray” BC played her new single “Just a Guy” from her first album, which is expected to be released this year after nearly two years of work. Jean (also known as Britney Jean Carlson) has traveled widely to record, including New York, Canada and even Sweden. Although a lengthy process, Jean says she has loved the experience. “There is a method to the madness,” she said. “Just a Guy” was actually recorded in London and was produced by Ryan Teddler, a Grammy-nominated songwriter, producer and lead singer of One Republic. To promote the song and upcoming album, Jean recently finished a radio tour, driving cross-country in a “soccer mom van” with her manager and guitar player. She stopped in on radio stations from Michigan to Louisiana to sing live or perform as part of station holiday concert line-ups. “It was really fun,” said Jean. “It was the first time that when I would sing, people were singing my song along with me.” In addition to her music, Jean is also

In addition, she is due to begin filming a scripted web series for Alloy toward the end of this month. “I’m really excited, it’s my first leading acting role,” said Jean. “I love everyone I’m working with.” With the Grammy Awards coming up, Jean was selected to serve on a pre-Grammys songwriting panel titled “How I Wrote That Song” on Feb. 12 at the Key Club in Los Angeles. Jean will be sitting alongside artists such as Seal, Pitbull, Cee Lo Green and Bonnie McKee, who has written several hit Katy Perry songs. “There’s all these amazing people on the panel and then there’s me,” Jean said with a laugh. “I’m really proud to be a part of it.” BC Jean’s single “Just a Guy” is available on itunes.

Local gallery sells unique Indian textiles, arts and crafts — but exports hope
La Jolla Cultural Partners
By Marlena ChaviraMedford Staff Writer Tucked into a garden off Highway 101 is Amba, a cottage-like gallery filled with Indian textiles, arts and crafts. Everything here was handcrafted by artisans who live in India’s remote countryside, where basic necessities like access to clean water can be hard to come by. Though rural India is a world away from this small gallery in Solana Beach, owner Nirmala Jagannath has found a way to use this space to help improve the lives of those Indian artisans. She is using Amba as a marketplace for their goods, but not in the traditional sense. “With most imports, the middle-man makes the most profit and the crafter only gets about 2 percent, which keeps them in perpetual poverty,” she said. But that’s not true at Amba. All of the profits here are invested back toward helping to improve the lives of Indian artisans. “I go to India and look these crafters in the eye,” said Jagannath, who travels through the country’s rural outskirts at least four times a year, for about a month at a time. “I see to it that these
crafters have all the materials they need, and I see to it that the profits are used to bring them out of poverty.” Jagannath, who grew up in Southern India, has been running Amba for five years. In that time, she’s seen it provide things like more food for families, education opportunities for children, and an empowerment for women who can now make a living. “These crafts also date back thousands of years. So this is also about preserving a heritage.” For example, Jagannath sells clothing that has been embellished with designs that were applied by hand using an ancient block printing technique. The result is a beautiful embossment that cannot be mocked by machine — though sadly, this art is dying. “This is one of the oldest art forms, so it isn’t just about preserving India’s heritage. It’s about preserving the world’s heritage.” Amba also features coats made from hand-woven wool, and scarves made from hand-woven silks that are dyed with brilliant pigments found in nature, such as pomegranate seeds and lavender flowers. And because India’s cotton is har-

And in fact, the gallery is filled with clothing, jewelry, art, linens, bags, carvings, and crafts that are not easily found elsewhere. But perhaps Amba’s crown jewel is its “jacket room.” This area is filled with brilliantly colored quilted coats that have been made from reclaimed vintage cotton saris. These saris were once-upon-a-time used for
she gets to “bring a little bit of the U.S. there, and a little bit of India here.” Helping to build sustainable communities in her homeland is highly rewarding, Jagannath said, albeit a labor of love. Jagannath is a psychologist and a trained classical Indian dancer, but she felt a pull do more to help those in need, a tugging at her heart that led her launch Amba. “I’ve always been involved in the arts, so it just felt right to help the craft community and work with beautiful things full of creative energy.” Fittingly, she named her gallery Amba, who is the symbol for creativity in the Hindu Pantheon. Ultimately, she said that she hopes when someone walks through the doors of Amba, they gain a new perspective for the true beauty of craftsmanship. “I believe that to see the true beauty of the things here, you have to fully appreciate what went into making it,” she said. “Amba is built on the concept that beauty, discernment and conscience translate to tangible luxury.” Amba is located at 355 N. Highway 101. It is open Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call 858-259-2622 or visit www.ambagallery.com.
swaddling babies and lining village huts, but women living in West Bengal take the material and hand-embroider it. Because of that, each jacket is truly one-of-a-kind. “Each of these is a piece of art,” she said of the jackets. “These people are artists in their hearts, though they are not artists in the sense we think of in this culture. In India, it’s about creating art that is for use. They do not look for any representation of themselves in their work, and no ego comes into play.” Jagannath said having one foot in Solana Beach and one foot in rural India means

By Cameron Leigh James Rarely do you hear a family with a child battling leukemia talk about what a “remarkable” experience they’ve had, but Tyler Todd and his family focus on the many bright sides of his life since 9-yearold Tyler was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (TALL) last spring. Prior to his diagnosis, Tyler was an energetic, active boy who loved playing baseball more than Tyler Todd and anything. According to Tyler’s Kim Keeth mom, Kim Keeth, it wasn’t unusual for Tyler to spend all day on the baseball diamond pitching, catching and playing first base. The early symptoms – a couple of bloody noses – seemed like normal childhood ailments. But Tyler began complaining that his nonpitching arm ached all the way to the bone, and when his baseball coach told Keeth that Tyler seemed to have lost his spark, she took him to the doctor the next day. After Tyler took a series of blood tests, Keeth received a call every parent fears. Tyler’s white blood cell test results were off the charts, and the doctor thought he had leukemia. A doctor was waiting for them at Rady Children’s Hospital. T-ALL is a particularly aggressive form of ALL. It accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of newly diagnosed cases of ALL, the most common leukemia in children under age 15. Tyler immediately underwent cranial radiation, chemotherapy, and a multiSee HOSPITAL, page B7

continued from page B6 tude of tests. During the initial treatment the doctors at Rady Children’s told Tyler and his family to expect a hospital stay of 29 days. “The first round was really tough,� said Keeth. “He was so sick. He doesn’t remember much of those first days.� Tyler responded well to treatment and was released from the hospital after eight days. Within 14 days of his diagnoses he was in full remission. “He’s one of the more remarkable cases at the hospital,� said Keeth. Last October Rady Children's became the largest children’s hospital in California with the opening of the new Acute Care Pavilion, a LEED-Certified building, home to the new Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, the state-of-the-art Warren Family Surgical Center, and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The entire second floor of the Pavilion is home to the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, including the Viterbi Family Outpatient Clinic. There are 38 private rooms along with advanced high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration, which helps reduce the risk of infection for chemotherapy patients. The Center provides advanced treatments and specialized hematology services. It is the only place in San Diego County for pediatric bone marrow transplants. More than 25 stem cell transplants are performed each year. It is not unusual for many children diagnosed with cancer and other blood disorders to spend months in the hospital. In that respect, Tyler and his family know he is fortunate. He was able to play baseball several times a week even while receiving chemotherapy. His treatment team even devised a special port protector that allows Tyler to slide into second base without disturbing the device used to administer his medication. Tyler is now doing very well. Keeth said he almost has a full head of hair; he’s back in school and just tried out for baseball. “He made the travel team with a big grin on his face,� she said. According to Keeth, Tyler has entered the maintenance phase of his treatment, which involves daily chemo and a monthly outpatient clinic visit for treatment. His team is monitoring his blood counts weekly to make sure the doses maintain his remission, yet allow him to function almost

Young Family Devastated After Tragic Car Accident… Three Boys Spend Time in Foster Care; Family Fighting Leads to Bitter Feud in Public Court Recently, a Southern California family was in a tragic car accident. The parents died and their family was thrown into a nightmare. This is a true story. The parents had talked about naming guardians to provide for the care of their sons and the money they’d leave behind. They never got around to it. They likely thought their family would be able to work out who would care for the boys and their money, with love and grace, if anything happened. That’s not what happened. After the accident, the boys were in the foster care system for a short time. Then, over 1,000 pages of court documents, 9 lawyers, and tens of thousands of dollars later, the boys ended up with their aunt and their money being managed by a professional charging $100/hour until they turn 18. Is that what the parents would have wanted? If they had known what would happen, they would have done everything they could to protect their kids and plan for their future.

‘Change That Tood’ By Dr. Keith Kanner Background: Attitude (def): Often a parent's worst nightmare. Evidence of an “attitude” begins as early as 2 years of age and remains intact through ages 16 to 17, frequently manifesting when a child or adolescent is feeling thwarted, is in a bad mood, tired, or when interrupted of refrained from an activity of their choice. Many parents become angry and intolerant of t h e i r child's “tood” and insist that it change or alter, earlier rather than later, but find t h a t demanding such Dr. Keith Kanner
scious, produce at times an “attitude” which is an attempt to protect the child from feeling vulnerable. In order to develop the “tood,” the child has actually progressed developmentally and is not merely being difficult. The observation of “tood” is most evident at three times in a child's development: between the ages of 2 to 4 (aka: The Terrible Twos); 6 to 8; and once again from 12-15. These particular times are when the child is shifting through what is termed the “Separation-Individuation Phase of development,” which are normal shifts representing psychological change which is actually needed for the individual to eventually become a healthy late adolescent and later adult. However, most parents do not understand both the “healthy” function of “attitude” and how best to deal with it
Your Family Matters change is not immediate and, in fact, the demand frequently intensifies the condition creating even more tension around the house. Although annoying and frustrating, the development of an attitude is in actuality a developmental achievement. In other words, despite the annoyance, frustration, sense of disrespect, and disruption in the household that a “fresh” adolescent or a “brave” toddler can create, the child or adolescent is actually trying to demonstrate two opposed positions simultaneously: 1) a desire for independence and, 2) an attempt to prevent a fear of dependency on parents. Such conflicting internal conflicts, which are not con-
when it becomes too intense or compromising to the child or adolescent. The first step for the parent is to understand the normality and function of “attitude”, namely that it is a good, rather than bad sign. This advent in itself will both help the parent feel better and also lessen the intensity between them and their child. Next, the parent needs to try to better understand why the child or adolescent is presently in a “bad” mood or state and not take it personally. For example, most children and adolescents develop “the tood,” when the parents introduce something they do not like, such as homework time, having to take a shower,
having to abide by a curfew, or even going on a vacation together for the adolescents. The third step is telling, NOT asking, the child or adolescent how they think they are feeling based on their behavior or attitude. For example, when the parent tells the child that they think their behavior is telling them that they are feeling angry and the parent is tolerant of the emotion, the child feels both informed and supported. This technique itself can help temper the tude. Now that the child or adolescent is aware that you know what is going on and accepting of their feelings, you can then ask them to express themselves in a more appropriate manner and in many cases, compliance will follow because they are both aware of how they are feeling and in addition, feel you understand. The final step is utilizing a limit or contingency if necessary. This final step should be designed to “help” the child manage their feelings, rather than make them feel bad about them. When 8-year-old Timmy refused to take his evening shower, his mother replied by first stating, “Tim, I know you hate taking showers, and are angry with me for making you take them, but it is important for your body to take one.” Timmy calmed down after this sensitive statement from his mother but continued to refrain for getting into the shower. She then replied, “Tim, your anger is OK, but you still need to take the shower and to HELP you manage your anger at me, if you don't get into the shower by the count of 5, you will have to miss watching tonight's episode of Sponge Bob.” Tim thought about it for a moment, but eventually got into the shower. Although this example might seem ideal, par-

ents who use this technique report that their child's “tude” is much more tolerable than the parents who either avoid interacting with their child when they are in a bad mood or merely threaten or punish their children when they act up. Whether a child is 2 or 14, they still need their parents to help them understand themselves and help them feel comfortable with their internal states of mind. Over time, this process becomes internalized and selfactualized, but usually not until late adolescence or early adulthood. In summary, when the “tude” is met with both acceptance, understanding, communication, and guidance, it's manifestation is greatly reduced making households more functional through childhood and adolescence. Key Points: 1. Attitude is a healthy developmental achievement beginning by age 2 2. “Tude” is most evident between ages 2-4; 6-8; and 12-14 3. Parents need to be both understanding, knowledgeable, and guiding to mellow the tude 4. Don't take the tude personally and react with haste.

In addition, he is the host of San Diego 6 Television’s award- winning show Your Family Matters, which airs weekly as part of the morning news and also on the San Diego Living Show.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Family law attorney/financial expert in a class all her own GSB Men’s Clothier to By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer Divorce is never easy, and when there are valuable assets at stake, it can also be especially complicated. Such cases call for an attorney who has family law expertise, as well as business savvy. Finding an attorney who can wear both hats equally well can be a tall order — but Carmel Valley resident Nancy Bickford fits the bill. In fact, she has the distinction of being the only attorney in San Diego County representing clients in separation and divorce, who is a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS) and who also is actively licensed as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), putting her in a class all her own. Before practicing law, Bickford earned her MBA from Golden Gate University in San Francisco and was certified as a CPA. Working at Arthur Andersen & Co. in San Francisco, she honed her skills in auditing several types of businesses and financial institutions. From there, she worked as a controller for a privately run firm operating hotels and real estate investments. Because Bickford has an
MBA, CPA and CFLS on her resume, some of her clients have dubbed her a “triplethreat.” Her unique experience has armed her with the know-how to deal with business matters that often come into play during divorce negotiations, such as asset characterization, the division of stock options and restricted stock grants, and separate property reimbursements. “I’ve dealt with a lot of these issues in the real world, so I know what questions to ask. I look deeper into financial statements and figure out what’s really driving that bottom line,” she said. “And should we need to bring in someone with specialized knowledge, like a forensic accountant, I can speak the same language. That allows us to work seamlessly to analyze financial matters, and tailor them to a client’s specific needs.” But it’s not just Bickford’s experience and ability that distinguish her from the pack. Having been through a divorce herself, she knows firsthand what the process can be like. “I’ve been there, I know how it feels,” she said.
Nancy Bickford It was soon after her own divorce that Bickford decided to go back to law school, while she was a single mother to three children. “I remember when I was in law school my kids would leave me little notes of encouragement saying ‘You can do it Mom,’” she recalls of her son and two daughters, who are all Torrey Pines High School graduates. “I didn’t just go back to law school. Our whole family went back to law school. It was a difficult and scary time. I had to jump not knowing if I was going to land on both feet.”
But land she did, graduating from California Western School of Law, where she was recognized for outstanding achievement in community property, taxation and civil procedure — and she was given the West Publishing Award in recognition of her overall outstanding scholastic accomplishment. Bickford said she has chosen to specialize in divorce because it affords her the chance to pursue her passion for the law while also utilizing her financial and business background. “Divorce can be a rocky time, and I know that. I feel this is a way for me to use the experience, skills and knowledge I have to help people going through that rocky time. I believe my clients are in charge, they are the captains of their own ships. My job is to help navigate my clients and their children to a safe harbor.” Bickford’s law offices are located at 12671 High Bluff Drive, suite 35.

News Briefs BIA recognizes Pardee as one of San Diego’s best selling builders As 2010 came to a close, the Building Industry Association of San Diego (BIA-SD) recognized several BIA-member homebuilders as sales leaders, including Pardee Homes, K. Hovnanian and William Lyon Homes. Pardee’s Highlands Village was among the top new detached selling products, which also included neighborhoods by Bosa Development, Hallmark Communities and KB Home. Pardee Homes also posted strong sales in 2010 at Carriage Run in Carmel Country Highlands, Manzanita Trail in Pacific Highlands Ranch and Terramar at Torrey Highlands with 155 homes sold (Carriage
Run: 46 sales; Manzanita Trail; 60 sales; Terramar: 49 sales). In addition, Pardee Homes sold 68 townhomes at Highlands Village and another 37 homes at nearby Bridle Ridge in Carmel Country Highlands, which is nearing closeout. According to the BIA, in the current housing market, which some describe as the worst in history, any sales would be considered a win, but Pardee was among the select few builders who posted double digit sales for the quarter. For more information, visit www.pardeehomes.com or follow Pardee on Facebook and Twitter.
