Rancho Santa Fe: A decade in review Editor’s note: This is the first installment in a two-part series. By Karen Billing With fingers blackened by newsprint to prove it, we poured through nine years worth of archives to bring you the stories of the last decade in Rancho Santa Fe (as only the RSF Review has been

covering Rancho Santa Fe for that long and more). It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but even the worst of times are still pretty darn tolerable when you live in a place as nice as Rancho Santa Fe. Below is a summary of 2000-2004. Look for years 2005-2009 in next week’s issue.

2000 • A time capsule was buried in the gardens of the La Flecha House to be opened in January 2100. • A Fairbanks Ranch home sold for $22 million, at the time the highest then recorded in San Diego County. • Construction begins on the $1 billion Cielo develop-

ment, 1,720 acres off Del Dios Highway. Concerns about traffic and the school population filling up were among issues raised at the time. • Torrey Pines High School turned 25 years old. • An intersection redesign added two new stop signs at La See DECADE, page 26

By Karen Billing Welcome to 2011, Rancho Santa Fe. Here are five people and stories to watch this year.

SB seeks joint ownership of fairgrounds By Marlena ChaviraMedford Staff Writer It’s official: Solana Beach does not support Del Mar becoming sole owner of the fairgrounds, which it is currently trying to do. During a Jan. 4 press conference, Solana Beach

Mayor Lesa Heebner said that instead, the city wants to see regional ownership of the fairgrounds. Standing atop the hill at Solana Circle, Heebner told the more than 50 people gathered there that regional control was necessary because the entire region is impacted

by what happens on that property, especially Solana Beach. “Look behind us,” she said gesturing to the fairgrounds sprawled in the background. “The Del Mar fairgrounds isn’t just in our See SB, page 7

Pete Smith In pouring over the last decade of Rancho Santa Fe history, Smith has witnessed and successfully guided the Association through some dramatic times as Association manager. Can you imagine angry, all-day Association board meetings or board director censure and removal happening these days? But those days seem to be long gone as Smith begins his 15th year at the helm of the Covenant. Board directors often remark how easy their job is due to Smith and his staff’s hard work behind the scenes. “It’s amazing how much gets accomplished

Solana Beach School District superintendent San Diego prices up, focused on maintaining district’s excellence home report finds Leslie Fausset has worn many hats in the education world. Throughout her nearly 40 years, she’s done everything from teaching first graders to serving as Chief Deputy Superintendent for Policy and Programs for the California Department of Education (CDE). These days she’s at the helm as superintendent for the Solana Beach School District, a post she’s had for five years now. The role is especially fitting considering she’s lived here more than 30 years and had two children go through Solana Beach schools, which she said “served them very well.” Here she sheds some light on what keeps her committed to public education and what lies ahead for the district this year. What inspired you to enter education? It happened quite by accident. I graduated college not exactly sure what I want to do. I had the chance to do some traveling, and it was during that time I figured out I really wanted to work with

Leslie Fausset young people, and hopefully make a difference for the better by doing that. So I started teaching and I’ve loved education ever since then. I still look forward to coming to work every day. What are some of the challenges the district has faced since you’ve been here? Every public district the

past three years has seen immense cuts, which is a challenge we haven’t been exempt from. It has not been easy, but fortunately we’ve been able to manage during a very difficult time. In our district, most of those budget cuts have been undetected by our kids, and we still have reasonable class sizes. Our community also continues to be amazingly supportive, which allows us to offer a comprehensive curriculum. We’re very fortunate to have what we have. Another challenge in our district has been the gap in achievement between some of our kids who are second-language learners or lower income. In the last four to five years, we’ve been successful in narrowing that gap while still accelerating that top end. We’re especially pleased with those results. What are some of the goals you hope to work toward this year? I hope to further enrich the new language arts program we launched last year. A

piece of that program involves more exposure to non-fiction reading because we’re trying to prepare our kids for a more highly technical society. We’ve also been working to create curriculum that links computer lab work to book lessons for more comprehensive learning, so that’s something we’ll be continuing to work toward. We’ll constantly be working to move our kids forward. Our work is every day, every way.

Is there anything you’d like to add about the district? I’d like to stress how amazing our teachers are. They’re devoted to the kids, and they grow and learn from each other. They’re constantly finding ways to work smarter, which benefits the kids. Everyone here, from teachers, to staff, to parents, have a constant focus on the kids. This is an amazing district that exemplifies in many ways the very best of public education. This district is the kind of experience every kid should get.

By City News Service Despite a recent dip in home prices, San Diego was among only four cities nationwide to record increasing prices between October 2009 and this past October, according to Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Index released recently. With all markets given a score of 100 in base year 2000, San Diego had an index score of 159.99 in October, representing a 3 percent increase compared to October 2009, according to the report. The other cities where housing prices increased Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Nationwide, housing prices have been stalled for about five months, leading the head of the S&P Index Committee to worry over the possibility of slipping back into recession. “The double-dip is almost here, as six cities set new lows for the period since the 2006 peaks,” David Blitzer of S&P said. “There is no good news in October's report. Home prices across the country continue to fall.” Blitzer said sales of homes are down 25 percent in the U.S. since last year, the supply of unsold homes is up 50 percent and housing construction starts are near 30-year lows.

RSF resident takes artistry, recycling to new level By Diane Y. Welch Contributor Chuck Bahde could be called the ultimate recycler. On his 5-acre Rancho Santa Fe estate, placed among his self-created drought tolerant landscape, stand his sculptures, crafted from discarded objects and materials. Rather than water, streams, pools and waterfalls are created with blue and green glass, handpainted rocks and plastic. Now Bahde has taken his artistry and recycling to a new level with the innovative design of a self-contained, sustainable dwelling he calls “Solar +.” The conceptual design serves to be a model for what Bahde calls hybrid living. The home is made of recycled materials and creates its own energy, saving money and resources, he said. It has three tiers of gardens that may grow produce, designed with solar-powered pods that house the equipment to

control temperature and irrigation. Rainwater is collected from the roof and stored in tanks. Graywater is recycled and reused. “What started as just another unique sculpture, developed, with vision and imagination, into this concept,” said Bahde, 84, who was an industrial architect by trade and a graduate of the Institute of Design In Chicago in 1948, when the German philosophy of Bauhaus design was introduced into the U. S. “They were the leaders in ‘form followed function,’ and that has influenced all my design,” he said. Bahde's scale model of Solar + exemplifies this design philosophy and serves as the prototype for what he hopes will be the home of the future. Its design is sculptural, horizontal and modular. Large, light-weight prefabricated solar panels, made from recycled plastics, fit

Solana Beach Fire Departments, which allows us to share certain expenses, services, and training opportunities. The fire district strives to provide the highest level of service to its community and this next step in the cooperative efforts agreement will assist the fire district in continuing this high level of service. What do you see as the most important issue facing your community/organization in the coming year, 2011? The most important issue I believe we will face is our finances. We are continuously monitoring our finances very closely and strive to provide the same level of service while focusing on the needs of the community. With the economic downturn, it has required the fire district to provide the same level of service with less revenue. What is your New Year's Resolution, personally or professionally? My resolution is both personal and professional. I aim to complete my degree in fire administration.

continued from page 1 Dolan-King saga. The New York properties, that we acquired as a part of our collection efforts, were sold in 2010 which brought to an end our involvement with the Dolan-King family. What do you see as the most important issue facing your community/organization in 2011? As for the most important issues facing our organization, there are two. The first is the economy, which is indirectly or directly impacting everyone that lives in our community. Secondly, securing a home for the Patrol. I am confident that we will have a positive resolve to the Patrol location in the first part of 2011. As for the economy, I am less confident that a resolve is in sight but we will continue to work with our members to minimize the impact. Chief Tony Michel, RSF Fire Protection District What was your organization's biggest accomplishment in 2010? This year we took the next step in our Cooperative Effort Agreement with the Encinitas, Del Mar, and

Instead light-weight metals, carbon fiber, plastics and composite form a rigid strong frame. Trees are saved and costs are lowered. The two trapezoid shaped stories are cantilevered and movable to

take advantage of solar and wind energy. Interior spaces are made from panels to create a flexible floor plan that may be altered as needed and provide interior circulation. Large windows are made from recycled glass with built-in blinds. Security takes a cue from medieval design. Rather than a front door,

What was your organization's biggest accomplishment in 2010? The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center’s greatest accomplishment in 2010 was changing our business model to cut expenses by Erin Leahey almost 50 percent while maintaining high quality programs and staff. Also, faced with financial difficulties, many community leaders stepped up to support the Community Center financially and through volunteering their time to make the Rancho Santa Fe community a better place. What do you see as the most important issue facing your community/organization in the coming year, 2011? As we begin celebrating our 40th anniversary, community participation at special events and increasing our revenue through contributions and donations are a high priority as we move into the New Year. We hope to bring the entire community together through a series of events that celebrate our long history in the Rancho Santa

Fe community, honoring our founders and supporters who have played a significant role in our success. What is your New Year's Resolution, personally or professionally? My New Year’s resolution, personally, is to make more time for the simple things in life. As I go about my day-to-day business, I sometimes lose sight about what is most important, specifically family, friends and overall health.

Matt Wellhouser, Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief What was your organization's biggest accomplishment in 2010? Maintaining a low crime rate in the village, as well as working with the school to develop a new school traffic plan with minimal disMatt Wellhouser ruption to the surrounding area What do you see as the most important issue facing your community/organization in the coming year,

the home has a dropdown draw bridge, allowing entry onto the homes grounds by crossing a protective moat. However, other aspects of the design are futuristic. The ship-like bows and the central opening between the two levels cuts wind velocity and serve to equalize earthquake movement. Between the two stories, three cylinders act as supports, and house stairwells or contain airpowered elevators. There is room on the roof for a heliport and a retractable power windmill. No detail has been overlooked. The garage includes an electrical charge station for electric vehicles. The interior sharp corners store energy and have built-in fans that maintain thermally-controlled filtered air throughout the building, as well as a state-of-the art sound system. If there is a lack of sunshine there is back-up of lithium ion

batteries. Bahde's ideas have developed over many years and have roots in a broad career. He designed pre-fab homes, was an assistant advertising manager, worked for Fox Theater doing displays, designed aircraft, and was in public relations in Europe, where he met his wife, Pilar, who is Swiss and Spanish. They married in 1951. Next June will mark their 60th anniversary. The two came to San Diego in 1959, lived in Ocean Beach and Point Loma, then moved to the Ranch in 1975. In closing Bahde said, “The Solar + model, for certain would not be accepted by the Rancho Santa Fe Art Jury, but I want to stimulate other architects or other environmentalists to think further about these concepts and to develop them. I don't think anyone else has done it. My dream would be to see this come about.”

intendent of the district. Each of those three years have seen substantial reduction in resources. We are facing a fourth year of dramatic cuts. It is getting more difficult to "raise the bar" on student achievement Ken Noah when we have with classrooms with 40 students. While our achievement has raised to new levels, I worry about the ability of our teachers to provide the kind of individual attention to students that meet their academic needs, but address important social and emotional aspects as well. What is your New Year's Resolution, personally or professionally? To provide positive and dynamic leadership for the staff, students, parents and community of this school district. It is important that we focus on those things over which we have control. Ours is the greatest responsibility of all, and that is to raise the next generation of young people who will inherit the world we entrust to their care.

Ken Noah, San Dieguito Union High School District superintendent What was your organization's biggest accomplishment in 2010? Our continued growth in improving achievement for each student in the district. This focused effort has paid dividends in increasing API scores that place our schools in the top 5 percent in the County of San Diego and the State of California. Importantly, we have gone about this work in quiet fashion, doing what we know our community expects from us. And that is to provide a high-quality educational experience for all students with the resources we have. What do you see as the most important issue facing your community/organization in the coming year, 2011? Maintaining quality in a time of diminishing resources. This is my third year as super-

Rancho Santa Fe Little League plans stellar 2011 season By Diane Y. Welch Contributor The board members of Rancho Santa Fe Little League have a great season planned for 2011. This volunteer-run organization, established in 1964, affects more than 300 kids locally, and has already raised funds from sponsors in the community to jump-start the season and benefit the league. In addition, the “Texas Hold 'Em Celebrity Poker Tournament Fundraiser” is scheduled at Rancho Valencia on Jan. 29. “A donation of $500 buys you chips and into the game. There are 10 tables of players and each table will have at least one noted athlete at it,” explained Dave Thatcher, current president of the board, whose son, Wesley, played his final season of Little League last year. Celebrity guests include former footballer Freddie Black; Bruce Bochy, manager of the World Series champions the New York Giants; and several other Major League pros and golfing greats. “Spouses are welcome to watch,” said Thatcher. First prize is a $10,000 Rolex watch, second prize a Cabo San Lucas vacation, and third prize is time on a private jet. “It's a casual and fun event bringing the community together to support baseball,” he added. Decades ago Little League was the only game in town, said Thatcher. “It still is the biggest youth sports organization in the

world, but locally we've seen competition from soccer and lacrosse, the result is that Little League, being a three-month journey, versus the other sports that are played all year long, has seen a general decline in enrollment.” However, enrollment went up for Rancho Santa Fe in 2010 due to creative strategies by the board. “Last year we had a parade with players marching through the downtown village and we had an opening day carnival. We probably had the best turnout of kids at the opening day ceremonies that we've ever had,” said Thatcher. “It was a memorable, fun experience for the kids; this year will be bigger and better.” With the greatest concentration of Major League players in all of San Diego living in Rancho Santa Fe the goal is to integrate them into Little League. “That's a big deal to a young player,” said Thatcher. “There will be skill clinics with the pros, but the emphasis will still be on fun.” Former California Angels and Chicago White Sox pitcher, Kirk MacCaskill, has been involved with the Little Leaguers for 13 years, with three sons having gone through the league. Bennett, his youngest son, had his final season last year. “The kids not only learn a great sport but learn lessons on how to work as a team,” said MacCaskill about the values taught by the game. “With baseball there is big exposure for play-

ers which some shy away from. If you get a strike out and you have to return to the dugout feeling bad for your team players, that's hard to overcome. But we teach the kids that it's OK to strike out. It's a valuable life lesson,” he said. The game continues to attract girls but few continue all the way through the Majors. Lucy Rickerson is one such player who started playing baseball in kindergarten and will begin her 7th season this spring. “After the first couple of years, we would ask her annually if she wanted to switch to softball. But she loves the faster pace of baseball and wanted to continue,” explained her mother Nancy Rickerson. “Lucy's had a blast at every level of Little League. She's had a series of excellent coaches and assistant coaches who each cared about every player. Each of them treated her fairly, and there were no special favors for her, or anyone else. The coaches looked at teaching baseball as an equal opportunity job!” There will be another parade planned this year for all players, in late February or early March, and Thatcher stresses that the focus will be on fun for the kids. Sign ups have started and will continue through January; there are dues breaks for siblings. Volunteers are welcome and encouraged to pitch in.

SB continued from page 1 back yard. It’s in our back room.” She went on to say that Solana Beach does not support SB 1, the state senate bill that would authorize Del Mar to buy the fairgrounds from the state for $120 million. Heebner called on senator Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, who helped write SB 1 and introduced it to senate, to amend the bill so that it reflects regional ownership. Senate is expected to vote on

that bill within the next few months. Solana Beach is proposing that the fairgrounds be owned and run by a joint powers authority (JPA), which would include Del Mar, Solana Beach, the city and county of San Diego, San Dieguito River Valley Joint Powers Authority and possibly other local entities. Heebner pointed to other successful examples of local JPAs, such as the San Dieguito JPA, which works to restore wetlands in the area. The concept of a JPA has garnered support from the

‘We are 95 percent in agreement with Del Mar. It’s just that one issue of ownership’ — LESA HEEBNER Solana Beach mayor Solana Beach community, as was evident by the frequent outbursts of applause as Heebner spoke. Steve Goetsch, one of the dozens of residents who turned out to show sup-

port, said the Solana Beach is just as impacted by the fairgrounds as Del Mar, and therefore should be part-owner. Solana Beach residents are exposed to just as much noise

and light pollution, traffic, and crime as Del Mar residents because there is no barrier between Solana Beach and the fairgrounds, he added. “They don’t call it the Solana gate for nothing,” he said, referring to the fairgrounds entrance off Via del Valle, which faces Solana Beach. “You can’t deny that Solana Beach is equally impacted.” Heebner said Kehoe, who represents beach communities from downtown San Diego to Del Mar, plans to meet with Solana Beach officials to discuss a possible amendment to SB 1. She also said that back in

January 6, 2011

November, Solana Beach sent Del Mar its proposal for joint ownership of the fairgrounds, but that Del Mar “basically said ‘no’,” never giving a formal response. Heebner stressed that Solana Beach very much supports the concept of Del Mar wanting to take the fairgrounds out of state hands and put it under local ownership — but thinks that Del Mar should not be the only name on the deed. “We are 95 percent in agreement with Del Mar,” she said, and then added, “it’s just that one issue of ownership.”

Justin A. Zivin, M.D., Ph.D.

Pioneer stroke researcher urges community to advocate for stroke victims nationwide By Arthur Lightbourn When physician-scientist Justin Zivin was 37, an article in the Sunday magazine of the Boston Globe newspaper changed the focus and direction of his professional life — inspiring him to perform the earliest experiments aimed at combating strokes with the clotbusting drug tPA. The 1983 article on the biotech revolution then in progress mentioned that there was a drug in development called tPA that could dissolve blood clots. “I was a neurologist at that time,” Zivin recalled, “and I was vaguely aware that tPA-type drugs were contraindicated (should not be used) for stroke, but I didn’t know why. So I started to check around and try to find out why …. and that led me from one step to another down the road to discover-

ing that tPA had not been tested out properly and really deserved another chance.” Zivin, now 64, is a professor of neurosciences at the University of California San Diego, a staff physician at the VA hospital and coauthor of the just published book, “tPA for Stroke: The Story of a Controversial Drug” (Oxford University Press). We interviewed Dr. Zivin at his home in Fairbanks Ranch while he was enjoying a week off with his family during the holiday season. Even though the FDA approved tPA for stroke therapy 14 years ago, Zivin is still campaigning to get tPA administered in emergency rooms throughout the country when the stroke clock is ticking. He’s hoping that people

in this community with communication and fundraising skills will step up to create a public awareness for stroke and its implications nationwide and get the message heard in Congress to ensure that every acute ischemic stroke victim in this country will have access to emergency tPA therapy — which, unfortunately, is not the situation today where only a small percentage of eligible stroke victims receive the life-saving, disability-combating drug. tPA, which stands for “Tissue Plasminogen Activator,” developed by the pharmaceutical company Genentech, has been shown to save lives and minimize the consequences of a stroke when administered within four-and-a-half hours of a stroke victim’s initial symptoms. Yet for years, tPA was marginalized due to a tangled web of political, fiscal and medical circumstances that Zivin and co-author John Galbraith Simmons chronicle in their book. Put into perspective, before tPA, treating stroke, or apoplexy as it was earlier called, was as futile as it had been for 2,000 years when doctors took a wait-and-see attitude, hoping the victim would somehow survive and the brain would eventually restore itself. Although initially approved by the FDA in the 1980s for heart patients, tPA’s use for stroke victims only received FDA approval in 1996, so that even today if you or a loved one suffers a stroke, you may or may not receive the drug. Stroke is the number three killer in the industrialized world, afflicting more than 750,000 Americans annually at a rate of one new stroke victim every 45 seconds and killing roughly three out of every 10. Zivin estimates that more than 200,000 stroke victims each year in the U.S. alone could improve or recover completely if treated with tPA. A stroke occurs, in most

cases, when blood flow, to some part of the brain, slows or stops. There are two types of strokes: ischemic (caused by clots) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). In 87 percent of the instances, the cause can be traced to a clog due to narrowed blood vessels or a clot. Within minutes, when oxygen and nutrients cannot reach brain cells, tissue starts to feel deprived, the brain circuits malfunction, and an ischemic stroke begins. Symptoms, all the more treacherous because they are painless, include dizziness, vertigo, vision loss or troubled speech, numbness and inability to move the face, arm or leg, usually on one side of the body. Why clots form is still unknown. A ruptured blood vessel, which causes bleeding into the brain, can also cause stroke and clot-caused strokes can transform into hemorrhagic strokes. Possible hemorrhaging by tPA was an initial concern of Genentech and by many neurologists along the road to tPA’s now general acceptance. The most recent data indicate hemorrhages only occur in 1 to 3 percent of ischemic stroke victims treated with tPA, which is considered an acceptable risk in treating a frequently fatal and potentially devastating disease. Zivin is a quiet, intellectually vigorous, no nonsense man, one of those rare individuals driven by a need

to “do something” that makes an important contribution to the betterment of his fellow human beings. Physically, he walks with tentative steps caused by tendonitis, the result of an extensive swimming regimen that he has since replaced in recent years with an equally avid and but less physically-demanding regimen of reading books on history. He was born in Chicago. His father was an internist and family physician. His uncle Israel, his father’s brother, was a neurologist. So it was natural that he would gravitate towards medicine as a career — right? “In one way,” he said, “but it was more complicated than that.” True, he accompanied his father on house calls and his father arranged for him to sit in on operations performed by his father’s surgical colleagues. “And I did find it interesting,” Zivin conceded, “but I also found it horrifying in another sense because they were cutting up people. “My interest always had been in science…and I was ‘appalled’ — perhaps too strong a word — but at least ‘not too happy’ that there was not more science in medicine.” Medicine, he felt, was concerned with “phenomenology,” the classification of diseases, but not much about what could be done about them. “What I was interested

in was finding out what was wrong and what could be done about it,” he said. As a result, he followed the advice of his neurologist uncle, who was on the faculty of Northwestern University’s medical school, to enter a new curriculum at Northwestern called the Medical Scientist Training Program that granted both an M.D. and a Ph.D. in physiology within six to eight years. “And, I was in the first group who did that,” he said. After receiving his doctorates in 1971 and 1972, Zivin did an internship at the University of Michigan Affiliated Hospitals in Ann Arbor and subsequently worked at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, to fulfill his military obligation as the Vietnam War was winding down. “I was doing research on the biochemistry of the brain, but I wasn’t getting far with it. I was measuring all sorts of changes, but they weren’t necessarily getting us anyplace.” One of his mentors at NIH suggested that the animal model studies he was conducting with rabbits would work well for testing the efficacy of drugs. “So I started doing that,” Zivin said, “and I’ve been doing it ever since.” His stroke research has been continuously and primarily been funded by federal agencies. Following a residency in neurology at University of California San Francisco, he joined the faculty of the University of Massachusetts. He immediately set up his research lab and soon after his introduction to tPA in the “Boston Globe” article, he began importuning Genentech for samples of tPA to allow him to lab test tPA for treating stroke. Genentech was less than enthusiastic. tPA had been developed and is still used for treating heart See ZIVIN, page 23

Falcons go 2-for-2 in holiday classic By Gideon Rubin CONTRIBUTOR

Boys basketball: Playing against topflight competition at its own tournament, Torrey Pines held its own, going 2-2 in the elite National Division of the Falcons’ Maxpreps Holiday Classic, culminating with a 56-51 loss to Oakland in the consolation finals on Dec. 30. The Falcons opened the tournament with a 67-63 loss to perennial state power Westchester of Los Angeles on Dec. 27, but they went on to defeat Curtis of University Place (Wash.) 66-39 on Dec. 28, and Coolidge of Washington (D.C.) 85-54, the next day. The tournament featured 56 teams from 11 states and showcased about 30 players who’ve committed to Div. I schools, according to Maxpreps.com. Joe Rahon scored 18 points to lead the Falcons in the Oakland game, and Nick Kerr added 15 points. The Falcons rallied from a 24-10 deficit after the first quarter, closing to within 28-25 at halftime after holding their opponents to four points in the second quarter. Kerr scored 25 points to lead the Falcons in the Coolidge game, and led the Falcons with 19 points against University Place. Max Heller led the Falcons with 17 points in

the Westchester game and Kerr added 15 points. The Falcons overall record for the season dropped to 10-3. Cathedral Catholic went 2-2 at the Maxpreps tournament, which the Dons concluded with a 64-55 victory over Knight of Palmdale in a Senator’s Division game on Dec. 30. The Dons opened with a decisive 70-56 victory over defending Div. IV state champion Campbell Hall of North Hollywood on Dec. 27, but lost to Mayfair of Lakewood 63-54 and Gahr of Cerritos 52-49 on Dec. 28 and 29th, respectively. Marco Kengott scored 21 points to lead the Dons in the Knight game, and Juan Martinez added 18 points. Martinez led the Dons with 13 rebounds. Xavier Williams led the Dons in with 12 points and nine rebounds in the Gahr game, and Kengott scored 13 points to lead the Dons in the Mayfair game. Martinez scored 24 points to lead the Dons in the Campbell Hall game, and Williams added 16 points. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 9-4. Canyon Crest Academy remained hot with strong showings at the El Cajon Holiday Classic and the Braves Christmas tournament. The Ravens went 2-1 in the El Cajon tourna-

ment, trouncing El Cajon Valley 77-25 in their last game on Dec. 30. They opened the tournament with 57-44 victory over Valley Center on Dec. 27 and then beat Oceanside 66-54 the next day in the Braves tournament at Rock Academy of San Diego. The Ravens lost to Buhach of Atwater (Merced County) 57-56 in the El Cajon tournament semifinal on Dec. 29. Cory Osetkowski’s stunning streak of 12 games in which he had a double-double (double digits in points and rebounds) ended in the ECV game, in which he grabbed 20 rebounds but was held to seven points. J.P. Chenevey scored 17 points to lead the Ravens in the ECV game, CCA’s seventh win in eight games. Osetkowski, who is averaging 19.6 points and 16 rebounds, was a force in both tournaments. He had 19 points and 15 rebounds in the Valley Center game, and 15 points and 19 rebounds against Oceanside. Osetkowski scored 22 points and had 17 rebounds against Buhach Colony. The Ravens improved their overall record for the season to 9-4. Santa Fe Christian went 2-1 at the Tri-City Christian School Holiday tournament, culminating with a 69-56 victory over Sage Hill of Newport Beach on Dec. 29.

The Eagles opened the tournament with a 77-33 shellacking of Christian Life Academy of Escondido and lost to King’s Academy of Sunnyvale 62-59 the next day. Mason Tucker scored 12 points and Ryan Moore added 11 points to lead the Eagles in the Sage Hill game. Grant Corsi led the Eagles with 19 points in the King’s Academy game and Bradley Searle added 15 points. Corsi and Brian Finley each scored 14 points to lead the Eagles in the CLA game. The Eagles improved their overall record for the season to 7-4. Boys soccer: Torrey Pines experienced its first loss of the season, 1-0 to San Pasqual of Escondido in the Southern California Classic finals at Oceanside High on Dec. 30. The Falcons lost despite a great effort from goalie Dean Meltz, who had nine saves. The Falcons defeated La Costa Canyon of Carlsbad 1-0 in a tournament semifinal the previous day. Yuki Hanawa scored the only goal in the game off an assist from Colin McAtee. Meltz, who was credited with the shutout, had three saves. The Falcons fell to 51-1 overall for the season.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local resident finds artistic process ‘magical’ By Diane Y. Welch Contributor Gregory Balogh is a sensitive artist whose use of color in his paintings is as much about seeing as it is about feeling. His color drenched canvasses evoke a mood and a realism that pull the viewer in. While he can't explain where his talent originates — Balogh is a self-taught painter —his work is prolific, is held in several private and corporate collections, and covers a wide range of genres. A recent engagement finds Balogh working with the concept of Eigenfrequencies, energy vibrations innate in all things. Balogh explained that the seven colors of the rainbow resonate like music and give off characteristic frequencies that harmonize with each other. He paints by sensing these vibrations. “I see color, obviously, but I can also feel color,” he said. The resulting painting has a harmony about it, like creating a pleasant chord on a musical instrument when each note is played together. As a younger man, Balogh visited museums and gazed upon some of the Old World canvasses from 16th and 17th century Europe. “About 80 percent of these

Gregory Balogh in his studio. (Photo/Diane Y. Welch) old works had no energy, they were flat. And then there were ones that literally knocked me back, they had so much energy,” he recalled. As a child he would draw and paint by numbers for fun. Then after high school he attended Palomar College and studied illustration and graphic design, although he had no for-

mal fine art training. “But I truly just wanted to be a painter. It must be a past life thing,” he said. Balogh, born in Tonawanda, New York, in 1966, grew up in Encinitas. The family moved there in 1978, when his father, a nuclear physicist was hired as an electrical engineer by General Dynamics. He attended Oakcrest

Middle School and graduated from San Dieguito Union High School in 1984. Encinitas was an uncrowded idyllic coastal enclave back then. “We used to take canoes and paddle through the estuaries of San Elijo Lagoon, which you can't do anymore,” he recalled Now Balogh paints those estuaries. “I still love them. It's another world. I go down there and sketch small studies and then create bigger paintings in the studio. I try to get a feeling of the quiet memory of the place rather than a physical study.” Cathy Taylor was introduced to Balogh's work by her husband who had commissioned several of his canvasses for a Los Angeles hotel project. They were both struck with Balogh's “free spirit” that allows him his unique expression. “I purchased many pieces from Greg, both from his collection of landscapes to large commissioned pieces of wild animals, ranging from apes to stampeding horses. He's able to capture these animals' rich personalities within their environments,” said Taylor. “Greg is also able to work much like a interior designer, creating one-of-a-kind unique images for his clients based on input for

theme, colors, and size,” Taylor explained. “Every painting has been beyond our expectation” A major engagement for Balogh was his series of koi paintings. “They are a great subject to paint as the fish are so colorful and move gracefully through water which is a challenge to capture,” he said. The koi paintings are very popular with collectors and koi enthusiasts and will be featured at the Koi Show this March at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Some of Balogh's figure work has taken on an inventive approach. Partial nudes painted in oils are covered with sheer fabric which softens and diffuses the image. Balogh paints plein air— out in the open—and creates hyper-realistic fruit still-lifes. “To me painting comes so easily, and I do love to make people go, 'Wow look at that!' But the process is still like magic,” he said. “You just mix up a color and put it in a certain place and create a work of art.” To find out more about Balogh's work visit his website at www.gregbalogh.com He also gives private painting classes and welcomes commissions. Currently two of his pieces are exhibited at the Solana Beach City Hall Gallery.

An individual becomes a Paul Harris Fellow within Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation after contributing $1,000 to the foundation and earning 1,000 points. A Paul Harris Club means that everyone in the Rotary Club is a Paul Harris Fellow, a rare accomplishment. There are 1.2 million members of Rotary in more than 200 countries worldwide. These 1.2 million members are in 33,000 clubs globally and these clubs are divided into 530 districts. The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club is in District 5340, which includes San Diego and Imperial Counties. Several dignitaries attended the April 12 celebration.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Unique Mainly Mozart concert series set to begin in February By Karen Billing A world-class classical music experience returns to Rancho Santa Fe this year with the Mainly Mozart concert series. The series of five concerts begins on Sunday, Feb. 13, and runs through May 1 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. “I think we have more new artist faces on this series than any series prior,” said Nancy Laturno Bojanic, executive director. “We also frequently bring groups back, like the Manderling Quartet from Germany, everybody loves them.” Laturno Bojanic is especially excited about the “wildly and widely recommended” violinist Stefan Jackiw, who will open the series on Feb. 13 with pianist Max Levinson. “We’ve got a really interesting program, a lot of piano this year,” said Laturno Bojanic. A March 13 concert features Robert Levin, a pianist and composer very closely affiliated with the Mozart camp in Salzburg, Austria. When a new fragment or piece of Mozart music is found,

Levin is called upon to complete it, she said, noting that she has been trying to book him for Mainly Mozart for at least 15 years. Laturno Bojanic founded Mainly Mozart in 1988 with Maestro David Atherton, who serves as artistic director. The pair worked together in the early ’80s with the San Diego Symphony, where Laturno Bojanic worked in marketing. Atherton now lives in

London but also has a home in Poway. “His idea was to bring together in San Diego an all-star orchestra at the time of year that’s fairly quiet in San Diego and to create an orchestra experience that you couldn’t find any place else in the country,” said Laturno Bojanic. Since then they’ve been able to bring major players to San Diego, such as the Cleveland Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. When they started Mainly Mozart it was a two-week summer festival. In 1996, they branched out to start the spotlight concerts, like those now performed at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, only in La Jolla venues. With The Inn, Laturno Bojanic said they have found the ideal spot. “(Manager) Kerman Beriker is a dream,” Laturno Bojanic said. “There are not enough words for Kerman Beriker, he’s a national treasure I think.” She said Beriker is endlessly generous, housing musicians and

Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club

Blame our ancestors for tradition Club offers plenty of new events for new year of making, breaking resolutions Happy New Year! This is the time we all plan to take action on good intentions, lose weight and get organized! The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club is starting off the New Year and the new month with a calendar of exciting programs, including one in February to help you with your organizing. The stimulating and challenging card game of Bridge is a passionate past time for a large percentage of people and has been since it gained popularity in India and then England, hundreds of years ago. The Garden Club is sponsoring an afternoon of Duplicate Bridge with Paul Foster on Saturday January 15th, starting at 1:00 pm; the fee is $10 per person. Mr. Foster will give a “calk talk” introduction to begin the afternoon and duplicate game points will be awarded. Foursomes and partners are welcome to sign up or you can be assigned to a table. Call Linda Hahn, 858-7568271 to make your reservation or email The Garden Club at www.rsfgardenclub @gmail.com The Huntington Library and Gardens is a beautiful jewel set in Southern

California, a real treasure and always a delight to visit. A private, nonprofit institution, The Huntington was founded in 1919 by Henry Huntington. As a man of vision, with a special interest in books, art and gardens he amassed the core of one of the finest research libraries in the world. Huntington established a splendid art collection (including Blue Boy) and created a beautiful array of botanical gardens, and it is all in the middle of Pasadena. The Garden Club invites everyone to “get on the bus” for a day trip to The Huntington Library and Gardens on Saturday, February 12th. One of the special exhibits that will be on display is “Beauty and Power: Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes” from the Peter Marino collection. The bronze statuettes in this collection were made from 1500 to the mid-18th century in Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands and The Huntington was selected to be the first USA venue. There is so much to see and experience at The Huntington and it is all quite grand. Call Ginger Bord at 760-61-0989 or go to the

Garden Club web site www.rsfgardenclub.org or sign up at www.rsfgardenclub@gmail. The first Arts and Crafts class for 2011 is “Journeys From The Past” with Jacque Tahuka Nunez. Ms Nunez will teach the art of basket weaving and each person will make a small round, reed basket. Ms. Nunez is an award-winning storyteller, in the tradition of her Native American culture and will display a variety of her handmade baskets. The date is Friday, January 28th from 9:30 until 11:30 am, at The Garden Club. The fee for the class and all materials is $35 for members and $45 for guests. The Arts and Crafts classes were a great success this past fall and the 2011 schedule promises to be just as interesting as well as fun! Go to www.rsfgardenclub@ gmail.com or call 756-1554 to sign up and then send your check to RSF Garden Club, PO Box 483, Rancho Santa Fe. The Garden Club website www.rsfgardenclub.org has fliers and information for all the current and upcoming events.

By Terrie Litwin, executive d i r e c t o r, RSF Senior Center The New Year an Terrie Litwin brings opportunity to reflect on the previous year’s events and contemplate possibilities for the future. If you are like most of us, you make resolutions each year with good intentions of keeping them but often fall back into old habits. It is comforting to note that we can blame our ancestors for this often frustrating tradition! The tradition of the New Year's Resolutions goes all the way back to 153 B.C. Janus, a mythical king of early Rome was placed at the head of the calendar. With two faces, Janus could look back on past events and forward to the future. Janus became the ancient symbol for resolutions and many Romans looked for forgiveness from their enemies and also exchanged gifts before the

beginning of each year. The New Year has not always begun on Jan. 1, and it doesn't begin on that date everywhere today. It begins on that date only for cultures that use a 365-day solar calendar. Jan. 1 became the beginning of the New Year in 46 B.C., when Julius Caesar developed a calendar that would more accurately reflect the seasons than previous calendars had. The Romans named the first month of the year after Janus, the god of beginnings and the guardian of doors and entrances. At midnight on Dec. 31, the Romans imagined Janus looking back at the old year and forward to the new. The Julian and Gregorian calendars are solar calendars. Some cultures have lunar calendars, however. A year in a lunar calendar is less than 365 days because the months are based on the phases of the moon. Although the date for New Year's Day is not the same in every culture, it is always a time for celebra-

tion and for customs to ensure good luck in the coming year. The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. In the years around 2000 BC, Babylonians celebrated the beginning of a new year on what is now March 23, although they themselves had no written calendar. The Babylonian New Year celebration lasted for 11 days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festivities pale in comparison. The Senior Center Board of Directors and staff would like to take this opportunity to wish you a healthy, happy New Year and invite you to make a resolution to join us for programs and classes offered throughout the year. Please call (858) 7563041, if you would like to receive monthly mailings about programs and classes. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Rancho Santa Fe Review

ZIVIN continued from page 8 attack and the company did not want to divert and possibly compromise its accepted usage for heart attacks. Independently, Zivin, developed a novel method for mimicking a human stroke in rabbits with a string-activated snare ligature that created a controlled obstruction of blood flow to the rabbit’s brain similar to what a human stroke victim would experience. He would later inject clots into his animal models

and, when he eventually obtained a small amount of tPA, would test the drug for its efficacy in combating the stroke in key experiments that he conducted over two weeks in April 1985, with a team of lab technicians in his basement lab at the University of Massachusetts. The results were impressive. Of the 11 rabbits that had received tPA, 10 were classified as normal both at 24 hours and again when checked a week later. In the other control group of 12 animals that received placebos, four were dead within a

day and three others showed grossly abnormal features. “Very few people are privileged to make a discovery and know that it’s important,” Zivin said of how he felt about the results. “That happens once or twice in a career. And I knew it then,” he said. Zivin revealed his discovery in a paper published in the journal “Science.” The second most satisfying moment in his career came in 1996 when, after nationwide clinical trials, the FDA granted approval of tPA for

stroke therapy. Zivin emphasizes that a stroke can afflict anyone, at any age, any time, without warning, “so you have to be prepared in advance.” He recommends calling your nearest hospital to find out if it is a certified stroke center, and if not, determine where the closest stroke center is located. “There is something that can be done about stroke. It’s no longer a fate worse than death,” he said. “And thirdly, [and unfortunately] you are not likely to get the drug tPA.”

Nationwide, only between 3 and 8 percent of stroke patients get the treatment “because it’s expensive” requiring emergency facilities, including a CT scanner for diagnosis, and an at-the-ready medical team, including neurologists and pharmacists, available 24/7. Zivin said ambulances in the county are now authorized when transporting stroke victims to bypass hospitals that are not certified stroke centers. “And the fourth and most important thing is … We need people who are

January 6, 2011

willing to advocate for stroke patients, as do those who successfully advocate for breast cancer and Alzheimer’s patients.” It is not necessarily celebrities who are needed, he said, but people who are good at public relations, congressional relations and fundraising. He hopes people with that kind of expertise will become advocates for stroke awareness and therapy. Anyone wishing to form a new advocacy group can contact Dr. Zivin by email at: zivin@vapop.ucsd.edu

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Gold plated retirement plans are not the standard Santa Fe Irrigation District, board president Michael Hogan said that the costly defined benefit retirement program “cannot be changed.” Pardon me? How and why did the board put in a retirement program that costs 29% of payroll, when the national average for 401K programs is 3% of payroll? The board then further insults and injures

ratepayers by seemingly making a show of fiscal rectitude by raising employee contributions towards their gold plated retirement benefits (retire at 55 with benefits that far outstrip contributions) from 1.5% to 3.0% of salary. The average across 401K plans is for employees to contribute from 5.4% to 6.9% depending on wage level. The new 3% contribu-

tion is a slap in the face of ratepayers. It acknowledges a huge problem, but doesn't do enough to address it. No doubt the board will say that these gold plated retirement benefits are standard across all public pensions. That may be true, but it doesn't excuse following the herd. Just because politicians in Sacramento are corrupt or insipid, or stu-

pid (take your pick), doesn't mean our little 48 employee irrigation district must follow them off an entitlement cliff. At its root, my anger, and a lot of ratepayers’ anger has to do with basic fairness. Private businesses long ago ditched defined benefit retirements as too expensive, and turned to 401K programs where

employer contributions are a fixed cost rather than an unknown and usually high number. There is no reason why the 48 employees of the irrigation district should be treated differently than you or I. Running a small water district is hardly a unique skill set and plenty of people can be found in this era of high unemployment who don't

need a gold plated retirement plan. There exist solutions to the irrigation district's pension problems, but the current board seems too timid to enact any of them. Instead we are stuck with 24% rate increases. Phil Trubey Santa Fe Irrigation District ratepayer

Dr. He Said, Dr. She Said Time for New Year’s relationships resolutions Here comes the beginning of a New Year, and we see it as an opportunity for our readers to become proactive about making their relationships better. We believe that it is a good time to rejuvenate a marriage or relationship by paying attention to some very basic but necessary aspects of maintaining a deeper connection to your partner. Make an agreement with each other to consistently try these five things to make it a better year for your relationship: Take a few minutes to make a daily face-to-face connection with your spouse. Whether your stress is about jobs or kids or to-do lists, connecting with your partner— even if you’re both tired at the end of a long day—can be a way to remind yourself that you’re not alone with it all. While talking to each other on the phone is also a way to connect, there is nothing like holding your significant other’s face in your hands and giving them your look of love. Express appreciation more to each other verbally. A little bit of expressed appreciation goes a long way. We all want to feel acknowledged for what we do to help out, and saying or hearing “Thanks for taking out the garbage” or “Thanks for cooking dinner” or “Thanks for doing the laundry” makes even those mundane tasks more palatable.

Physician optimizes patients’ health with Chinese acupuncture By Diane Y. Welch Contributor East meets west in the medical practices of George Rodriguez M.D., a Solana Beach-based acupuncturist and emergency department physician at Scripps Memorial Hospital, Encinitas. While the two may seem at opposing ends of the medical spectrum, Rodriguez has successfully blended his expertise in western healing with that of Chinese acupuncture with one goal: to optimize the health of his patients. “Western medicine, which is what I was originally trained in, has a reductionist theory. You try to get to the least common denominator, the one thing that causes the problem, while Chinese medicine takes a whole body view — a holistic approach.” Rodriguez, who grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from Claremont McKenna College, received his degree in medicine from UCSD in 1980, with post graduate education completed at USC/Los Angeles Medical Center. He is board certified in emergency medicine and a Fellow of the

American College of Emergency Physicians. He has treated more than 100,000 patients in the emerg e n c y department. O v e r this period Rodriguez developed an interest in Chinese George medicine Rodriguez after hearing, repeatedly, the frustration of patients whose illnesses defied diagnosis using traditional western methods. “The last thing that they had been told was that their illness was all in their head and they needed to see a psychiatrist. I thought, 'This can't be fact.'” To help unravel the mystery Rodriguez studied Chinese acupuncture—the placement of tiny needles into specific energy points in the body—a practice that has a 5,000-year-old track record. He graduated from the Institute of Classical Five Element Acupuncture in Santa Monica, then in 2007 became certified by the American Board of Holistic

Medicine and is a member of the American Board of Medical Acupuncturists. The therapy is based upon Qui — pronounced “chi” an energy in the body, carried along pathways known as meridians — that maintains health and balance. The classical five element approach differs from other acupuncture as it seeks to attack a disease at a core level and to stimulate self healing. Two years ago, Sherrie Berry-Kromis came to Rodriguez when her health was the worse it had ever been and traditional medicine had failed to help. “I felt hopeless,” she said. A friend recommended acupuncture to her but she was fearful of the needles. “But she dragged me to Dr. Rodriguez's anyway and while he was working on me, he talked to me, he encouraged me to express myself, and offered me wisdom at the same time that he gave his treatment. It was very powerful and I immediately felt a shift, I knew it was working.” Today Berry- Kromis continues to see Rodriguez as a preventative measure and

maintains good health. In fact, acupuncture was originally used in China as preventative therapy, said Rodriguez. “A patient saw the acupuncturist five times a year and paid him if they were healthy. If they became sick they stopped paying him because he wasn't doing his job. It's a different paradigm than the western approach, where you get paid to do endless tests to treat an illness.” When Rodriguez practices emergency medicine a knowledge of acupuncture allows him to take a holistic approach to the patient. “While we may call it customer service, it's meeting the needs of the patient, understanding that they are more than a disease process, there's a person behind that who is

affected mentally and spiritually, as well as physically,” he explained. Because of his years of practice in western medicine Rodriguez is well versed with a lot of different illnesses. “I understand them and what western medicine may do. If need be I can write a prescription. But I also understand where the gaps are in treatment and how adjunctive Eastern therapies can fill the gaps,” he said. Rodriguez sees a future with eastern and western medicine practiced in a hospital setting. “My idea is to integrate the two with patients seen by both holistic practitioners and physicians working together to optimize the care,”he said. He is currently in the

process of getting acupuncture privileges at Scripps Memorial Hospital, Encinitas where he served up until recently as chairman of emergency medicine, a six-year engagement. “Surgeons are talking to me about doing it pre-operatively and post-operatively for patients. Obstetricians are very interested. They realize that this is a tool that can be used.” To find out more about Rodriguez's acupuncture services, call him at (858) 336 2961 or email him at namaste13@gmail.com.

DECADE continued from page 1 Granada and Via de Santa Fe. The “Y” shape wasn’t straightened out until this fall, 2010. • The Association finalized the purchase of 68 acres of the McMorrow property on the eastern boundary of the Ranch for $1.9 million. It was later named the Arroyo property in 2004 and remains open space today. 2001 • R. Roger Rowe, the Rancho Santa Fe School District superintendent retired after 43 years with the district, 37 years as superintendent. A gala celebration in June for Rowe’s retirement drew more than 400 people. At the gala, it was announced the school would now be named R. Roger Rowe School. Daniel Vinson was named his replacement in July. • San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Bill Berrier also retires after 36 years in the district and 29 years as its superintendent. Peggy Lynch is hired as his replacement in May. • RSF resident Anthony Principi is sworn in as the nation’s secretary of Veteran’s Affairs. • The Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center moves into its new home on La Gracia. • Santa Fe Irrigation District had a tough year: General Manager Geoff Poole resigned and then Assistant General Manager David Alan Ebert was found guilty of misappropriating over $100,000 in funds. • The new RSF Community Center building opens. • The shootings at Santana High School on March 5, in which two students were killed, sent shockwaves through local schools with some parents calling for metal detectors in the San Dieguito district. Then-Earl Warren Principal Margie Bulkin said, “It is not the time

We need to all lock arms and teach love and tolerance.” • Seven candidates vied for three available seats on the Association’s board. The highest voter turnout in 10 years saw Bill Strong, John Eggemeyer and Franci Free elected. • The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 hit close to home. Chad Keller, 29, the son of members of the Village Presbyterian Church, was among those killed on American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon. Mike Arms, Helen Woodward Animal Center president, was in Washington DC on Sept. 11 and saw the Pentagon attack firsthand. “I will never forget the look of shock on people’s faces, there were a lot of tears and emotions,” Arms said. “You just felt that you were violated and robbed of your history, your citizenship.” The local response was overwhelming with fundraisers held and more than 700 people attending “A Star Spangled Evening” benefit at the Village Church. American flags proudly waved in the village every day after Sept. 11, put out in the morning and taken in at night by residents Bill and Mary Culver. 2002 •A divisive year in the Covenant, with an Art Jury viewed by some as “running amuck” and a younger demographic and growth outside the Covenant filling up the school. A more vocal and critical atmosphere existed, with Association meetings sometimes lasted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. By comparison, in 2010, most meetings end in an hour, with very little disagreements or public input. • It was another dramatic election season as seven candidates vied for two seats on the Association board.

forum drew 100 attendees and a variety of colorful claims and accusations.” Susan Bromley and Don Sammis would win the seats, the first time candidates nominated by petition, not the board nominating committee, were elected. • With more than 700 students on the Rowe campus, the school district looked at several potential properties for a new school site: the Sahm property on Camino del Norte; the Quantum site on Del Dios and Camino Del Norte; and the Aliso Canyon site. A $46 million bond on the November ballot, Prop Y, was rejected by a 56-44 margin. • Six candidates vied for two spots on the RSF School board, with Kathy Stumm and John Stiker winning the race. Upon leaving, outgoing trustee Lindy Bowman said she regretted not being able to stop the rude, combative behavior that often marred board meetings in 2002. • A controversial proposal to add two traffic signals on Paseo Delicias at the intersections of Via de la Valle and El Montevideo failed. • Helen Woodward Animal Center celebrated its 30th anniversary. 2003 • RSF Mail Delivery Solutions opens, allowing home delivery of mail for Rancho Santa Fe residents. •Demographics suggested Rowe School enrollment could meet 900 students in 2004. Calzada del Bosque and Quantum property are discussed as sites for a new school and plans aim for Prop K, a $4.8 million school repair bond, in 2004. • The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District opened a new fire station on Four Gee Road in 4S Ranch. In July, it broke ground on its Cielo fire station. • Highlighting a rocky period on the Association board, director Don Sammis made a request to access records and documents to investigate an alleged $50,000 “kickback” related to an Art Jury incident.

investigator was hired to look into the allegations. After an extensive investigation, the board found no merit in the accusations and voted to censure Sammis in June. Sammis also underwent enforcement proceedings for failing to submit a complete application for subdividing his property. The board censured him for a second time in December and called for an unprecedented community vote to decide on whether to remove him from the board, citing his behavior as characterized by “confrontation, disruption, dissension, accusation and obstruction.” 753 ballots were cast in favor of ousting Sammis and he was removed from the board. • Paul McCartney played as special performance at Delicias restaurant in RSF for resident Wendy Walker’s 50th birthday. • Jim Depolo was appointed to the RSF School board after trustee Michael Kreiss resigned due to a move. • RSF School principal Glenda Sumida retired after 39 years with the district. • Retired Rancho Santa Fe Fire District Chief James Fox died at the age of 87. He led the district from 1957 to 1981. • Six candidates vied for two Association board seats, with Ron McMahon and Ken Bien elected. • Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson played Rancho Santa Fe’s Bridges golf course for the Lincoln Financial Battle of the Bridges, a charity tournament.

The Association would pledge money toward fighting Sprint’s proposal and the county would back their opposition that sites not be approved without full-scale environmental report. Sprint withdrew 10 applications in 2004. • Rancho Days celebrated its 10-year anniversary. • Horizon Prep School opened on El Apajo, ground

2004 • The Rancho Santa Fe School Board does not renew superintendent Dan Vinson’s contract after he served nearly three years. Board members did not disclose the reason. Lindy Delaney, then-director of student and administrative services, was named interim superintendent in March. Her position was made permanent in October. To help with Rowe’s infrastructure needs, Prop K passed in the March election with 63 percent of the vote. •Holly Manion won a short-term Association board seat to replace the ousted Sammis. Six candidates vied for four spots on the board in May and Ken King, Steve Heidel, Donna Ferrier and Jane van Praag won the election. Outgoing president Ken Bien promised, “A new day has dawned.” • Solana Beach School District Superintendent Ellie Topolovac retired after 38 years in the district and nine as the superintendent. • Earl Warren Middle School turned 50 years old. Created in 1954, the school was considered to be named after Richard Nixon and early San Dieguito settlers Juan Maria Osuna and Andres Ybarra. The board chose Warren, the former California governor then serving as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court—it was three months after the controversial decision of Brown vs. Topeka School Board of Education which banned segregation in schools. Warren would visit the school

in the early 1970s before his death. • Also celebrating their 50th anniversary, The Country Friends organization. • Maureen Cassarino debuts the children’s theater program at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center; 19year center director Pat Merino retires. • RSF resident Phil Mickelson wins the PGA Masters, donning his first green jacket. He would win again in 2006 and 2010. • Mille Fleurs celebrates 20 years of fine dining in the Ranch. Also celebrating a 20th anniversary was the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. • President Ronald Reagan died on June 5 and Rancho Santa Fe residents Gerald and Robin Parsky attended his “heartwrenching yet beautiful and majestic” funeral. Gerald Parsky was a member of Reagan’s treasury department and is a trustee of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation Board that runs the library and museum near Simi Valley. • Kerman Beriker is appointed general manager of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and Mike Bardin becomes general manager at the Santa Fe Irrigation District. • Cindy Schaub comes to R. Roger Rowe as the elementary school principal. Currently she is the district’s associate superintendent. • In July, the last 4.5 miles of State Route 56 opens, linking Interstate 15 with Interstate 5. City Councilman Brian Maienschein said, “This will allow people to get home five or 10 minutes quicker…and just have time for their quality of life rather than sitting in traffic.” • Canyon Crest Academy opens in September to 372 students. Half of the campus remained under construction and students attended in portables in the parking lot. • Richard Burdge, Ty Miller and Jim Depolo win seats on the Rancho Santa Fe School Board. • Bicycles are banned on Covenant trails.

Diego State Aztec basketball team, currently ranked a dizzying seventh in the nation. The 6”5 guard is averaging 7.9 points a game off the bench. Undefeated at press time, the SDSU Aztecs are readying to make a run for the NCAA tournament in March where SDSU has never won a game. It might be worth a trip to Viejas Arena to check out the Aztecs and former Falcon Rahon—their next home game is Jan. 12, taking on UNLV at 7 p.m.

The I-5 A decision is expected this year on the Interstate 5 widening project planned for the freeway from La Jolla Village Drive to Oceanside. Caltrans estimates that by 2030 commute times on the I-5 could increase from 39 minutes to 80 minutes if no improvements are made to the freeway. Their solution includes options to add four to six HOV lanes and Carmel Valley planners have compared the widening to creating a “sea of asphalt.” The expansion will have a big

impact on the area—Carmel Valley’s planning board believes the project’s walls, ramps and bridges could impact the local environment, homes, business and the coastal character of San Diego. In 2011, Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration will review and respond to the multitude of comments from the 1,000plus- page draft environmental impact report and decide whether or not to go through with the project and which expansion option to choose.

Motivate kids to do schoolwork Your Family Matters By Dr. Keith Kanner

Background: It's a New Year and a fresh start. Helping children getting motivated for school is a common New Year's Resolution which often fails for a number of reasons. Almost all parents deal with the same issue from the time children begin formalized school through typically the Junior year of high schoolchildren are not naturally motivated to perform school and homework,and battles then ensue in most households. Even parents who introduce the important notion of good study habits run into resistances from their children because other wishful activities outweigh performing tasks, such as schoolwork. Similar to adults, children would rather play than work. Such a normal and natural desire however, for the adult, is then countered with "reality" and some sort of compromise is typically reached because the adult, not child, is capable of such reasoning. But, trying to convince a child of this concept is anythingbut easy. The importance of doing well in school leading to future success is anabstract concept that most children are not able to naturally developuntil middle to late adolescence. It is almost as if the adolescent"wakes up" and realizes that grades do matter for college and begin totake school more seriously. Unfortunately though, sometimes it is too late due to earlier failures to be responsible and college admissionsare compromised. This then leads both the child and parent alike tofeel quite disappointed. In order to get children motivated to perform in school then, before their brain is mature enough to self-motivate, the parent has to better understand what will makes his or her child "tick" to get them to perform tasks that might not be "fun". Before the capacity to"abstract" (i.e. look ahead to the future), children tend to be very"concrete" ( i.e. here and now). When parents understand thiscapacity,

they can t h e n w o r k together w i t h t h e i r child in helping thembe academicallyDr. Keith Kanner successful. For example, telling a 6 yearold that if they do not do their homework, they will not get into college, will have zero effect, because a 6 year-old cannot grasp such an idea andmay even become worried, leading to even more non-productiveness. But,the savvy parent, who understands the "here and now concept", with thenon-adolescent, might use a combination of encouragement, such as "Iknow this is not fun, but it has to get done", and then follow thisstatement with "and once your homework is done, you can watch some TV",has matched motivating a child taking into consideration where they aredevelopmentally. Limits can then be used to stress this point ifnecessary. "To help you, not punish you, to get this work done, Ican't let you watch TV until your work is complete". Although this technique tends to be the most effective with young children, other variables are also helpful including: 1. Setting a good example yourself. For example, I make sure I bringhomework home with me every night and do mine at the same time. Mykids are always more motivated when they see me work too. 2. Introduce a standard homework time early in your child's development. Good habits are important. 3. Allow kids to have a short break after school for a snack and some play/exercise time before a required "homework time". 4. Have your kids show you what they have to accomplish for the night and help them organize if

necessary. 5. During homework time, give some positive reinforcement. 6. Provide some help if necessary. If they need professionalassistance, then consulting with an organization, such as SylvanLearning Centers is essential. 7. Having a group study time can sometimes also be helpful. I like thelibrary for when children see that they are not alone in doinghomework, this can lead to greater productiveness. 8. Celebrate completion. Children love to see their own success. When a parent capitalizes on this, self-esteem builds for the child andoften times this lead to a desire to work harder for themselves. 9. If a child needs some extra help, or if a parent continues to struggle with homework battles, a consultation with a learning center is good idea to ruleout any possible learning difference or to gain some support in better helping your child feel successful. It is very important NOT to let ourchildren fail. This only hurts their self-esteem and once again, learning from one's mistake, is another abstract concept truly only available for most children in middle to late adolescence. Dr. Kanner is a certified and licensed clinical child, adolescent and adult psychoanalyst with a private practice in Rancho Santa Fe. In addition, he is the host of San Diego 6 Television’s awardwinning show Your Family Matters, which airs weekly as part of the morning news and also on the San Diego Living Show.

10 QUESTIONS

Davodi-Far organizes life around cancer care Maryam Davodi-Far believes life is about discovering what you are good at, and then sharing it with the world. So after discovering her calling in healthcare administration and nonprofit work, Davodi-Far found a way to share it with the world. Five years ago, this Carmel Valley resident founded Cancer Coping Center, a non-profit run by professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to help cancer patients, and their families and caregivers. Maryam The impetus behind Davodi-Far Cancer Coping Center came about after DavodiFar watched her mother-in-law battle the disease, and witnessed the emotional toll it can take. For that reason, the non-profit aims to help people cope with the effects of cancer through creative expressions, like painting. Davodi-Far has a doctorate in public administration from the University of La Verne, a master’s degree in healthcare administration and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of California in San Diego. She holds a certificate in non-profit management from Chapman University, and she is trained as a volunteer mediator through the San Diego Mediation Center. When she’s is not running her nonprofit, Davodi-Far can likely be found combing through antique malls or in her kitchen, as she is also a trained chef through the San Diego Culinary Institute.

Anthony Hopkins stars as a 68-yearold New Zealander with a dream in “The World’s Fastest Indian.”

◆ Prime Time ◆ San Diego film festival celebrates aging with six international movies about growing older By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Contributor It’s a new year and we’re all a year older. Appropriately, film-lovers of all ages are invited to start 2011 at the premiere of Coming of Age, San Diego’s first annual festival of movies on aging. Hosted by the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) and San Diego State University’s Gerontology Student Association and sponsored by Alvarado Hospital, the festival will be showing six films from four different countries, focusing on the diversity of the experience of growing older. On the second Thursday of each month from January through June, a different film will be introduced, screened, and followed by an audience discussion. The idea is to make gerontology — the study of psychological, social, and ethical issues of aging and their effects on the individual and society — more accessible to the community at large. The film fest is the brainchild of SDSU gerontology professor (and chairman of the department) Mario Garrett, Ph.D. “We want to increase awareness of these issues to open a discussion,” Garrett said. “I thought cinema would be a good way to do this, and MOPA has a lovely small theater that would elevate the viewing experience.” Last spring, Garrett assembled a group of academics and artists who work with aging populations to suggest some of their favorite films. He selected six categories of special relevance: continuing growth; dementia and care giving; new adventures; sex, love and intimacy; independence; and intergenerational relationships. Each commit-

Garrett will kick off the festival this month by introducing “The World’s Fastest Indian,” a film about a 68year-old man and his motorbike, starring 73-year-old Oscar-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins. Why this film? “I love it,” Garrett said. “I’d love to do what he did. I have an Alfa Romeo engine sitting in pieces in my garage. I took it apart years ago, then I had kids, and work, and it’s still sitting there, in a thousand bags. “The guy in this movie — a true story — he had a dream of racing a bike he built himself. He traveled to the other side of the world, from New Zealand to Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, without money, with a heart condition. And because he never gave up, he made his dream happen.” Garrett, born in Malta, has followed his own dreams, traveling and working in China, Africa and Europe before making his way to the U.S. and university positions in New Mexico and Texas. He then spent a decade working with American Indian tribes before coming to SDSU. Over

These films show love, exploration, racing — older people doing things their own way.” Next up on Feb. 10 is the Swedish film, “A Song for Martin” (2001). The story follows famous composer Martin as he meets concertmaster Barbara at one of his performances and the two fall in love. After divorcing their spouses, Martin and Barbara marry and begin a happy life together. Five years later, as the couple is working on a new opera, Martin is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. As Martin’s condition worsens and his personality changes, the couple strain to hold on to the love that once brought them together. Young and old are invited to come to Coming of Aging, and join in the postfilm discussions. The screenings are free, but reservations are required. “This is just the beginning,” Garrett said. “We hope to get bigger and better each year.”

The healing power of art Couple’s gifts housed in Sculpture Park at Scripps By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Contributor When you’re heading for Scripps Memorial Hospital, chances are you’re not thinking about art. Driving onto the medical campus, you’ve probably missed the sign on your right that announces “Wolfstein Sculpture Park,” though you may have registered the large circle of steel just beyond. It’s only one of 31 sculptures in a variety of styles that make up the collection started in 1998 by Ralyn and Nathan Wolfstein, a couple of generous art-lovers with homes in Encino and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. For the past 50 years, the Wolfsteins have been brightening the surroundings of hospitals and universities by buying, and then donating to them, pieces of public art. He manufactured pharmaceuticals and she started making artworks at age seven. They both believe in the healing power of art. “We bought our first piece when we had hardly a n y m o n e y, ” Ralyn said. “We gave it to the American Jewish University in L.A.

ended up organizing the art program there.” The idea for a Sculpture Park at Scripps-La Jolla had its beginnings in 1993 when the Wolfsteins bought a painting from Gerrit Greve, an artist who lives next door to their Cardiff residence. “The hospital’s art committee asked for one of his paintings, and Nate and I agreed to donate ours,” said Ralyn. “It was our 45th anniversary, and when we drove onto the campus to present the painting and I saw those rolling grounds, I said, ‘I can see sculpture everywhere!’ ” Five years later, in time for their 50th anniversary, the Wolfsteins created the Park with several pieces by Leucadia sculptor Jeffery Laudenslager, including that giant steel circle. “For special events in your life, instead of just giving a big party, it’s wonderful to give something permanent, something positive and encouraging that people can see and appreciate for years to come,” Ralyn said. In 2003, they discovered the Port of San Diego’s Urban Trees exhibitions, an annual display of works along downtown’s Embarcadero. Twelve of these “trees” are now at home in the Sculpture Park. One of the newest additions, and one of the most whimsical, is a bicycle built for two, commissioned by the Wolfsteins two years ago and installed this past summer. “There’s Nate in the front, driving, and I’m in the back going Yeahhhhh!” Ralyn said. “The name of the piece is

‘We-eeeee!’ with one ‘e’ for each of our five grandkids. ‘We’ has always been a key word in our lives. My husband feels the trouble with a lot of marriages today is that people have lost touch with that word.” Their ‘we’ must be working. The piece is a celebration of their 62nd anniversary. The Sculpture Park is part of the hospital’s Arts for Healing program, the aesthetic component of Scripps’ “World of Healing.” “We really try to create a healing environment, not only with medical care, but also through the aesthetic features of our campus,” said Lisa Ohmstead, the hospital’s public relations manager. Added Joyce Hyde, who has been a volunteer art docent since 2004, “This could actually be an art destination, like Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Israel, with its Chagall-stained glass windows.” On Jan. 19, Hyde will lead a special tour of the Sculpture Park to provide an opportunity for visitors to get “up close and personal” with the artworks, some of which may be harder to see as the hospital embarks on an extensive building program this summer. Hyde is full of interesting stories about the park’s art and artists. She’ll tell you the secret behind the life-sized “Little Girl with Fishes” who dances in a fountain outside the hospital’s main entrance. She’ll lead you to fascinating pieces you never even noticed and show you how to put a spin on the kinetic sculptures, too. You don’t have to be ill to come to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. This month, come for the art.

Creating production posters a team effort at the Playhouse By Leigh Ann Dewy Contributor Every picture tells a story. That certainly rings true for the creative team at the La Jolla Playhouse, which produces six to seven posters every season to promote the essence of each show. Led by artistic director Christopher Ashley, marketing director Mary Cook and graphic designer Melissa Hughes (with input from writers and directors) work together to craft images that will be identified with each production up to a year in advance of the show. In addition to the posters, which are placed in venues throughout the city, the artwork will appear in seasonal brochures, advertisements, and the entertainment sections of local publications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first step is for Melissa and I to read the play so we are familiar with the story we want to tell,â&#x20AC;? said Cook. The pair then meets with Ashley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(He) tells us his vision for the play, as well as the elements of set and costume design.â&#x20AC;? Ashley, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the master of creating new worlds on stage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his unique vision for each show that is the starting point for the posters.â&#x20AC;? Hughes, who owns Halogen Design Lab in San Diego, has designed Playhouse posters for eight years. She said she focuses her efforts on creating images that accurately and vividly reflect the mood of each play.

La Jolla Playhouse graphic designer Melissa Hughes said the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Miss Sunshineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poster was created from six or seven stock images. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the posters are created long before the shows are cast,â&#x20AC;? Hughes said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the actual actors on them.â&#x20AC;? The Playhouse doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the budget to hire models, she said, so she uses stock photographs obtained and paid for online. The end result is known as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;photo-realisticâ&#x20AC;? style. A good example, Hughes said, is the poster for the Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent production, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruined,â&#x20AC;? which ran Nov. 16-Dec. 19. The Pulitzer Prizewinning drama is set during a civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and features the female owner of a canteen and soldiers who pay to

share the company of beautiful young women for the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For that poster,â&#x20AC;? Hughes said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I researched what Congo women would wear.â&#x20AC;? She found two separate stock photos of two women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one older and one younger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and electronically adjusted their clothing to fit the characters. In this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Limelight: The Story of Charlie Chaplin,â&#x20AC;? she researched costume and hairstyle elements, and camera equipment true to the time. A poster for next seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Miss Sunshine,â&#x20AC;? to run Feb. 15-March 27, features four people pushing a Volkswagen bus. Hughes said she used six to seven separate stock images, and then combined them to create the final poster. Each poster begins with three or four concepts, said Cook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job to fine tune the show until we get it to the point we all agree on the final image,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ashley has final approval of the poster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all do work very well together,â&#x20AC;? said Cook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly due to the fact that there is a lot of mutual respect â&#x20AC;Ś and a shared desire to ensure the show art is a true reflection of the theater experience.â&#x20AC;? The posters are signed by cast members for the Playhouse as a memento of each show, said Cook, and are available for fundraising efforts in the gift shop whenever possible.

Celebrity violinist to entertain at Orchestra Nova fundraiser Nationally acclaimed violinist Lindsay Deutsch will perform at Orchestra Nova San Diego’s benefit concert on January 22 at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall in Sorrento Valley. The evening will include silent and live auctions, a raffle for a case of premier wine, the concert and a VIP post-concert party at the renowned WineSellar & Brasserie. The event will be sponsored by American Airlines and Valenti International. Deutsch, a former child protégée known for her expressive and lively performances, will play selections from the works of George Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue, Porgy and Bess Medley), Manuel

de Falla (Suite Populaire), Johannes Brahms (Scherzo), and a Beatles medley from various composers. She has been described as “vibrant, mesmerizing…a definitive musical force” by Oakville (Canada) Today and “one of the most interesting, imaginative and downright thrilling young violinists in America today” by Jeffrey Kehane, music director, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. This benefit event celebrates Orchestra Nova’s fourth season under the leadership of artistic director and conductor Jung-Ho Pak, renowned for his creativity and passion for providing an unforgettable show and a welcoming aura

that permeates the entire organization. Orchestra Nova aims to reach a much wider audience than the traditional classical music enthusiasts. “We want to reach the 98% [of the population] who don’t know anything about classical music or who don’t think they like classical music and give them such a wonderful experience through live performance, video and personal connections that they can’t wait to come back for more,” says Pak about the orchestra’s Nova Classics and POPS! concerts. Lindsay Deutsch is donating her performance for this event to help raise funds for Orchestra Nova and their acclaimed music education programs in

schools throughout San Diego County. Lindsay, like Pak, is dedicated to supporting music education and to finding new and exciting ways to present classical music. “I first met Jung-Ho at a summer music festival when I was 10 years old. That experience with him really lit the musical fire within me and made me realize that music was what I wanted to spend my life doing,” she says. For more information about Lindsay: h t t p : / / w w w. l i n d s a y deutsch.com/ The night of “fun-raising” will begin with a preconcert reception for all ticket holders at 6:00 p.m., giving them a chance to mingle while they enjoy

hors d’oeuvres and cocktails and bid on silent auction items. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. The post-concert party at the WineSellar & Brasserie in their exclusive “wine cave” is for guests purchasing the Connoisseur-level tickets. Lindsay will join the postconcert festivities. Ticket packages range from $75 to $250. Tickets are available o n l i n e : http://tickets.orchestranova.org/ or by calling 858350-0290.

Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe showcased Franc three years ago to a delighted audience. The 11th concert season begins with D’Ambrosio’s brand

new show, celebrating the timeless songs of Hollywood. Franc’s tenor voice earned him scholarships and a course of study at the famed Vocal Academy of Lucca, Italy. After his Broadway debut, he was cast as Anthony Corleone in The Godfather Part III, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. He became the first and only person to ever sing Carmine Coppola’s haunting godfa-

ther theme. In addition, he sang the title role in Sweeney Todd on Broadway and was hand-picked by Barry Manilow for Valentino in Copacabana. Prior to the concert, the Fellowship Hall doors will open at 6:15 p.m. for hors d’oeuvres and complimentary wine, provided by Northern Trust Bank. During intermission, desserts and coffee will be served. Community Concerts

Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theater to present ‘Anon(ymous)’ The award-winning Canyon Crest Academy Theater Program will perform “Anon(ymous),” an inventive modern day adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey that explores ideas of immigration, identity, and home. The production runs Jan. 14-22 at the Proscenium Theater, Canyon Crest Academy, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130. “Anon(ymous,)” by Naomi Iizuka, follows Anon, an immigrant trying to find his way home as he encounters good and evil characters and adventures along the way. Naomi Iizuka is currently head of M.F.A. Playwriting at UCSD. Previously she was a Professor of Dramatic Arts and Director of the Playwriting Program at UC Santa Barbara, and taught playwriting at the University of Iowa and the University of Texas, Austin. She has a B.A. in Classics from Yale University and an M.F.A. from UCSD. The show is directed by Lisa Berger, who is a frequent director and guest teaching artist at CCA. “ANON is a challenging experiment in theatrical storytelling which makes it

a very exciting piece for a director and actors to work on,” says Lisa. Lisa holds an M.F.A. in Directing from the University of Montana, and is a graduate of the Meisner actor intensive in the William Esper Studio in New York. Her San Diego directing credits include Things We Want (New Village Arts), Killer Joe (Compass Theatre, Patte Award), and Looking for Normal (Diversionary Theater) among many others. CCA’s Envision Theater program aims to graduate theater artists with a broad understanding of theater, a variety of technical skills, and an ability to articulate their own creative process. Ensemble work and professionalism are core values of this program that are referenced and re-visited in departmental productions, classes, and workshops. “We push students here to work at a professional level, and without fail, they reach and exceed it,” says Michael Schwartz. CCA’s Envision is a one-of-a-kind program that enables students to achieve high levels of excellence in creative endeavors by providing the latest and most

advanced facilities, instruction, and guidance as a supplement to the traditional classroom foundations found in most other high schools. Envision uses guest artists to assist teaching in each of its six divisions: Digital/Fine Arts, Theater, Cinema, Dance, Vocal Music, and Instrumental Music. Michael Schwartz never thought he would be a high school drama teacher before coming to Canyon Crest Academy. Favorite productions include Waiting for Godot at Portland Stage Company and Ubu Rock at the Mandell Weiss Theater. He also worked on the national tours of Rent and assist Barry Manilow on Harmony. Previous teaching gigs have included locales around the world with the International Schools Theater Association, the Museum of TV and Radio in Beverly Hills, upstate New York at Colgate University, and many summers at La Jolla Playhouse Conservatory. Mr. Schwartz holds an MFA in directing from UC San Diego where he remains a guest faculty member. Tickets run from $8-19 and can be purchased at www.CCAenvision.org/ma in/tickets

Rancho Santa Fe Review

With plastic, you’re playing a ‘numbers game’ I am not really a New Year’s resolution maker. This year, however, the decision to change over to re-usable plastic water bottles coincided with the New Year. Back at the beginning of December I saw a remarka b l e movie called, “Bag It”. One of t h e m a n y valuable things I Debbie Sandler l e a r n e d f r o m this film was the actual “cost” of the single-use water bottles. Taking into account the fossil fuels and energy required to manufacture and transport plastic bottles to their destination it is estimated that the amount of crude oil used to make a SINGLE USE plastic bottle is one-quarter the volume of the bottle. That’s right, fill a plastic water bottle 25% with oil and that’s the amount of crude oil (a non-renewable natural resource!) it takes to make that bottle and get it to you! That was enough for me to decide that finding and using an alternative to single-use plastic bottles was something I could no longer put off. A friend of mine suggested that I pick up some BPA-free plastic water bottles and use those instead of the single-use water bottles that I purchased in cases at the grocery store. There has been a lot of attention surrounding the compound BPA, a chemical that has been used in the production of plastic water bottles (such as sports bottles), and is believed to be leached into the water over time. I had heard of BPA and wondered what the heck it was so I did what you don’t ever do unless you want way more information than you asked for…. I “googled” BPA. I will share with you what I have learned about this compound and I also want to discuss other plastic compounds as well. Most single-use plastic water bottles have a resin identification code of 1. These codes are the numbers you find inside the chasing arrow symbol (triangle) on plastic products and are a set of sym-

bols placed on plastics primarily for recycling separation purposes. You will find that beneath the triangle there is a set of letters which specifically identify the polymer (chemical structure) type and some are safer than others for food and liquid exposure. (See table of resin codes.) The rule of thumb for basic safety for petroleumbased plastics is that the

USES

safer plastic recyclables display the numbers 1, 2, 4, and 5. Anything labeled with 3, 6, and 7, is not as safe and should be avoided or discarded specifically any baby food containers or bottles, sippy cups, or baby items. To further avoid exposure to harmful chemicals used in plastics production, here are some suggestions: • Use a paper towel instead of plastic wrap in

Juice bottles, teething rings, cling wrap, toys

Produce and frozen food bags, 6 pack rings, various containers, squeezable dispensing bottles (such as honey, mustard) Food containers, re-usable microwave ware, disposable cups and plates, margarine tubs Cafeteria trays, plastic utensils, toys, other expanded polystyrene products (e.g., Styrofoam)

the microwave. • Don't microwave food in plastic containers (put food on a plate instead). • Use dishware made from materials like glass or stainless steel. • Avoid use of plastic containers with the number 3 or 7 on them. • Plastics with the number 1 (typically used for water and soda bottles) are single-use only. Recycle

Hard plastic bottles, baby bottles

after use. • Do not drink water from a single-use plastic bottle that has been sitting in a hot car. • It is also recommended that we avoid containers with the number 6 on them since these are polystyrene (Styrofoam) and have been known to leach carcinogenic styrene. • Use tempered glass baby bottles instead of plastic. If you use plastic

bottles, don't heat them. • Store food in glass containers, rather than plastic. • Discard scratched or worn plastic containers. • Hand wash plastics to reduce wear and tear. To make plastics hard or soft, chemicals such as Bisphenol-A, more commonly abbreviated as BPA, and phthalates (THAL-ates) are added during manufacturing. Scientists have overwhelming evidence that these and other chemicals are affecting humans – specifically babies in utero and children. BPA and phthalates are linked to numerous health problems – cancer, diabetes, autism, attention deficit disorder, obesity, thyroid function, infertility and even genital formation. Although bisphenol A came to fame as a potential poison in our water bottles, significant exposure comes from the linings of canned foods as well. It is safe to say that plastics that are marked with recycle codes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are very unlikely to contain BPA. Some, but not all, plastics that are marked with recycle codes 3 or 7 may be made with BPA and it is best to avoid these when possible. (As an unrelated addendum to the above, I discovered something of additional value while doing research for this article. Our ten year old cockatiel, a perfectly healthy bird, died suddenly and pre-maturely about a month ago. I happened to read that when cooking with Teflon or any nonstick pan at high temperatures you should avoid doing so if there is a bird in the room. Please be aware that emissions from this type of pan are deadly to birds.) The amount of migration - the movement of free toxins from plastic into the substances they contact — (in this case it’s your food and water) and corresponding toxicological effects are highly disputed topics. It appears that there is no “best plastic” to contain food or drink. I hope that this article will clarify this viewpoint. By the time you’ve finished reading, my goal is that you should be closer to forming your own evaluation of plastics or at the very least, have a starting point for further inquiry.

Winston School teacher Dan Peragine

Local teacher selected to judge National Endowment for the Arts Veteran Winston School visual and digital arts teacher Dan Peragine was selected to be one of eight judges for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning in the Arts for Children & Youth.â&#x20AC;? Not-for-profits across the country compete in the annual learning arts grants program. Peragineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s panel was one of nine panels tasked with reviewing 700 applications submitted in 2010. NEA will announce grant recipients in April 2011. Peragine recently returned from Washington DC where he and fellow panelists spent five days judging their categoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150 applications from arts and cultural organizations, school districts, youth service and community groups with specific projects. For 22 years, Peragine has taught visual and digital arts at The Winston School (http://www.thewinston-

He also is a founding instructor in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer arts program focused on developing student creativity in visual arts, drama, digital arts or music. During the threeweek program, students produce a finished product and integrate their work with artists in other media such as a concert, a performance, or a film premiere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an honor and a privilege to have been selected to serve on a NEA panel,â&#x20AC;? Peragine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience highlighted great programs happening around the country, from New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner city to the Hawaiian Islands. He added that he found the scope of submissions and the people served to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;moving and endearingâ&#x20AC;? and felt the grant program further illu-

minates the importance of arts in a community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The visual and performing arts touch lives of all ages and backgrounds, instills critical thinking and creative problem solving, builds communities as well as brighten the lives of all who embrace the arts.â&#x20AC;? The Winston Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Headmaster Mike Peterson said Peragineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dan has helped build The Winston Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art program into one of the best student programs in San Diego. His professional experience as an award-winning sculptor and painter, his extensive involvement in the local art community and his ability to relate to and guide students make him a tremendously valuable and respected teacher. These same qualities also made him as an excellent panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts grant selection program.â&#x20AC;?
