RSF Association board rejects playground at Arroyo property BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board may have shot down a proposal for a children’s play structure at the Arroyo property, but the board said it is not against spending the money or finding a more appropriate place for a playground. In an unanimous vote, the board approved a $25,000 expenditure for play equipment and asked the trails and recreation committee, and the Association staff, to come up with an alternate location for the playground within the next 60 days. They may be facing an uphill battle, one that Heather Slosar encountered on her quest for the playground at Arroyo. Several people stood to speak at the meeting, saying that they have tried to establish a playground in the Covenant for the last eight years. “It’s a subject that keeps coming up,” said Dick Brockett, director of field operations. “The problem is no area in the Covenant is zoned for a playground.” The stumbling block is not only the zoning, but that any such structure has to receive approval from the neighbors, which has never been accomplished. “We’ve never been this close, “ said resident Glenn Oratz, one of those who had tried for a playground before. “Rambla De Las Flores is the natural recreation corridor but we get lost in NIMBY (not in my backyard).” The Arroyo property seemed like the perfect fit for Slosar because while it is Association-owned, it is located outside the Covenant and is county-zoned. The 88-acre lot, purchased by the Association for $1.8 million in the late

‘Raising the Bar’ The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation honored Cap & Gown contributors to the R. Roger Rowe School with a “Raising the Bar” party Nov. 5 at the home of Rachel and Spencer Douglass. The celebration followed the recent “Red Envelope” campaign, a school-wide effort to collect contributions supporting the Foundation’s “Five-Star Education” programs. The Cap & Gown Reception is an annual event honoring contributors at the Cap & Gown level and above. See page 16. PHOTOS: JON CLARK

BY KAREN BILLING According to their STAR test results, more and more students at R. Roger Rowe are meeting the district’s goal to achieve 90 percent proficiency or advanced levels in English language arts (ELA) and math. In a report given at the Nov. 3 Rancho Santa Fe School District meeting, assistant superintendent Cindy Schaub said that the school saw increases in the number of students proficient and advanced in five grade levels in both ELA and math. Some were way over the 90 percent target, with the eighth graders scoring 98 percent proficient and advanced in ELA. “Ninety-eight is an amazing number,” Schaub said. “Real kudos to our middle school team.” Only two grade levels (second and seventh) didn’t see growth in their math See STAR, page 25

RSF School students with perfect scores honored BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School Board Nov. 3 honored 49 students who achieved perfect scores on their STAR math, science and English language arts tests for the 2010-11 school year. Even some graduating eighth graders, now freshmen in high school, came back to receive certificates of achievement. “I am always very impressed with the number of students we have (achieving perfect scores),” said district superintendent Lindy Delaney. “Also, the fact that you did your best and your best was perfect.” Delaney said that she was proud of the students’ work ethic and how they serve as good examples to their fellow students. Now fifth grader Rachel Waite was the only student to score a 600 on both the STAR math and ELA test as a fourth grade student last year. Brandon Fitzpatrick and Alexi Stein, now in sixth and ninth grades respectively, were the only two students to score a perfect 600 on both their math and science STAR

tests. Students with a perfect score of 600 on their STAR math test include: Dax Kay, Michael Kenyon, Zachary Kindel, Donovan Nelson, Katherine Arnold, Rhett Bailey, Seraphine Bustillos, Rocco Cappetta, Conrad Delgado, Benjamin Fitzpatrick, John Flaming, Anna Lauer, Marcus Phillips, Ella Rosenblatt, Shannon Buss, Tucker Drawdy, Sheila Kaiser, Jasmine King, James Licosati, Gabrielle Nguyen, Natalie Slosar, Meghan Sullivan, Carson Wright, Kerrie Lunsford, Breana Nguyen, Ashley Perison, Jackson Tuck, Nicholas VanHuizum, Lauren Flaming, Bennett McCaskill, Elizabeth Russell and Tiffany Zhang, Students with a perfect score on their STAR science test include: Tessora Bustillos, Grace Parker, Michael Rattner, Connor Bailey, Seamus Comerford, Jose Esquer, Hannah Grobisen, Meaghan Harrington, Michael Kim, Peter Lillian, Jonathan Luck, Spencer McKinney, Katherine Michel and Ethan Rappaport.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Association Buzz: Arroyo proposal, broadband update BY RSF ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT JACK QUEEN We had our largest member turnout in some time at the last meeting to discuss the proJack Queen posal of installing children’s play equipment on the Arroyo property. The concept is a very good one, but the board struggled with the Arroyo as the location. The presenters had thoroughly investigated all aspects of their proposal, including the design, maintenance, liability, and community involvement to install the equipment, but the location on Arroyo created concerns for the board due to the remote location and impact on current users. The board did approve funding for the project, but

asked board members Eamon Callahan and Larry Spitcausky, and the Trails and Recreation Committee, to work with the presenters to find an area more centrally located. During the course of our studying the proposal, I was pleased to see the RSF School offer the entire community the use of their play equipment during the weekends, and for the Village Church to open up their play yard, as well, during the week. The Village Church’s facilities were designed and built by the same company that was proposed for the Arroyo property. The board also held a brief retreat afterwards to take a look at where we stand on the priorities for this year. The number one priority is still to get a handle on the lack of broadband coverage for the community. As with most projects, this one is turning out to be more of a challenge than originally anticipated. The committee is currently in

the process of meeting with all of the current — as well as the potential — service providers to completely explore all the options available. It appears, at this point, that there is not going to be a universal fix for the entire community, but a combination of different services for different areas. The time- consuming part is that there are a lot of potential options to run down and there is no clear fix that will meet the needs of everyone. The committee does not anticipate that they will have a preliminary report until the first part of next year. It was fun to have such a nice, enthusiastic crowd at the last meeting so let’s do it again. Come out on the 17th, have a cup of coffee and give us a little input on any thoughts you might want to share with your board.

RSF Association briefs; Nov. 3 board meeting CHP overtime contract renewed The Rancho Santa Fe Association board Nov. 3 renewed its contract with the California Highway Patrol to provide additional overtime traffic enforcement throughout the Covenant. The contract, which supplements the regular CHP units that are on patrol in the area, has been renewed every two years since the program began in 2004. RSF Association Manager Pete Smith said that before the program began the biggest issue the Covenant had was dealing with traffic violations, such as speeding and people crossing double yellow lines to pass on the many one-way streets. He said that there are virtually no complaints now as more officers are out issuing citations. Their visibility and enforcement has led to a drop in the number of injury accidents as well, RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said. “Not getting the type of accidents we saw before really pays off dividends for the safety of our residents,” Wellhouser said. So far this year, CHP officers have issued 688 moving violations, the majority for violations such as illegal passing, illegal turns, failure to stop at intersections and violators of the cell phone law.

Noise policies reviewed In response to some complaints about leaf blowers, RSF Association board director Roxana Foxx asked that there be a discussion about the Association’s ability to control offensive noises. The Covenant doesn’t give the Association direct control over noise, it mostly relies on people to be good neighbors. “Noise is something we deal with on a

weekly basis,” said Arnold Keene, associate planner. “Peace and quiet is something we all seek out.” Keene said he gets calls about loud parties, animal noises, construction work and the occasional leaf blower complaint, although not as many as in years past. Keene said he’s found that often having a conversation with the neighbor is enough to solve the problem. For some animal noise issues they have called in San Diego County Animal Control and the Association tends not to get involve with loud parties—the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol will step in and if it’s a case of disturbing the peace they may refer it to the sheriff’s department. “The main complaint we get is construction happening before 7 a.m. or into the evening hours or contractors playing their radio,” Keene said, noting that he has a good relationship with many of the builders in town and is able to resolve a lot of those problems. Per the regulatory code, construction is allowed within the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. As for the leaf blowers, the policy is that they may be operated between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. Foxx said one of the members who complained about the leaf blowers lives in the village and works from home, hearing the noise all day long. There’s not much that can be done about it, save for a conversation with the neighbor or the alternative option of using a rake. — Karen Billing

Concerns raised over proposed Armenian Church project

RSF bank robbed

BY KAREN BILLING The proposed St. John Garabed Armenian Church on El Camino Real (just southwest of Rancho Santa Fe, near the polo fields) is running into some issues with its location within the city’s Multi-Habitat Planning Area (MHPA), as well as its mass and intensity in a very restricted area that planners have fought hard to preserve in the San Dieguito River Valley. The proposed church project was reviewed by the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s Regional Issues Subcommittee on Nov. 2 and co-chair Jan Fuchs said that the proposal exceeds the 25 percent development allowable within the MHPA. The MHPA is part of the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP), a program that preserves a network of habitat and open space throughout the county. Pushing the development the most into sensitive native habitat is its access road. Marcela Escobar-Eck, of the Atlantis Group, said access to the site has been one of the biggest challenges and they hope to work with neighboring Evangelical Formosan Church. “The city approved the Formosan Church knowing

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A thin masked man in a yellow raincoat and baseball cap robbed a North County bank the afternoon of Nov. 4. The thief, who appeared to be in his mid-20s to early 30s, demanded cash from a teller at the Pacific Western branch office in the 6100 block of El Tordo in Rancho Santa Fe at about 3:30 p.m., sheriff’s Lt. David Gilmore said. The bandit claimed to be carrying a gun, but it was unclear if he displayed one (some reports say he carried a pesticide sprayer). He fled with an undisclosed amount of stolen cash.

Stolen ambulance keys recovered BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Ambulance keys stolen from the fire station in 4S Ranch have been recovered, according to a sheriff’s department spokeswoman. The keys, along with an ambulance pager, were taken around 6:40 a.m. on Nov. 4 when someone broke into Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District Station No. 2, said Julie Taber, RSFFPD spokeswoman. “The suspect entered a dorm room assigned to a San Diego Medical Services paramedic and stole the keys to the ambulance assigned to the station as well as the ambulance pager,” Taber said. According to Taber, another ambulance was moved to Station No. 2, so there was no interruption in providing emergency services to the 4S Ranch community. “We are taking this incident very seriously,” said Battalion Chief Mike Gibbs. “The safety of the community and our personnel is our priority. We are cooperating fully with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department as they continue to investigate the incident and will do everything we can to prevent this from occurring in the future.” The ambulance keys were located and the incident is still being investigated, said sheriff’s spokeswoman Melissa Aquino on Monday.

there was an access problem. The city needs to take some responsibility and leadership and get this resolved because it’s creating a problem with the MHPA,” Fuchs said. Escobar-Eck said that the city has been very cooperative —“Staff does support relocation of the road,” said Bernie Turgeon, city planner— and that they were waiting to get more information before approaching the Formosan Church to find a solution that would work for everyone. Fuchs said besides the proposed development’s proximity to the MHPA, the church’s intensity is also an issue. Plans include an 8,740-square-foot sanctuary able to sit 350 people; an 18,090-square-foot social hall; an 11,010-square- foot education and library center; and a 13,840-square-foot gym and youth center. There will also be a parking lot with 169 spaces. The height limit in the area is 30 feet, but structures are allowed to exceed the height limit if setbacks are increased, which the developer plans to do. The church sanctuary will be 93 feet high. See PROJECT, page 22

Conflict of free speech and private property arises at Del Rayo BY CLAIRE HARLIN Charles Covello, an owner of Del Rayo Village, is seeking input from the community about how to remove unwanted political activists from his shopping center located at the corner of San Dieguito Road and Rancho Diegueno. A group of people, who said they were with the LaRouche Political Action Committee (www.larouchepac.com), displayed a poster of President Barack Obama wearing a Hitler mustache. They passed out information in front of the post office at the property all day on Nov. 8 and asked for donations. Covello said he has received several calls from offended community members. Although he owns the property, he said, he can’t peacefully remove the group. “Apparently shopping centers fall under this weird situ-

ation where it’s not so private, and people can do what they want as long as they are not breaking the law or conducting business without a license,” he said. Covello asked the sheriff’s department to remove the group, but “rights of free speech trump private property rights. “When you have a property you’ve worked on for 17 years and it’s not yours to manage how you see fit,” he said, “it’s frustrating.” The best thing people offended by the display can do, Cavallo said, is to ignore the group and not give them money. “If people ignore them, there’s no benefit for them to stay there,” he said.

Winner: By Kim Stordahl “Another day in the life of Sasha the Babushka…”

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Three international teams of scientists, led by researchers at UCSD, University of Michigan and Stanford University, have published a trio of papers describing the structure and workings of G Lynne protein-coupled receptors Friedmann (GPCRs), a large family of human proteins that are the target of onethird to one-half of modern drugs. GPCRs are involved in almost every human physiological function. Located within the membranes of cells, these receptors detect arriving hormones, chemical neurotransmitters, odors and other signaling molecules, then activate internal proteins, which, behaving like molecular switches, initiate other events that affect everything from the senses and behavior to fundamental functions like heart rate and blood pres-

sure. Malfunctions in these signaling pathways have been linked to dozens of diseases, including diabetes, blindness, asthma, depression and some forms of cancer. But historically GPCRs have been very difficult to work with and many drugs based on targeting GPCRs have been hit or miss because little has been known about how GPCRs work at the sub-molecular level. These three complementary papers go a long way toward addressing that shortfall. Two of the papers are cover-story articles in the journal Nature. The third paper appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). News release at bit.ly/saAtL3.

Local food lovers gather in Fairbanks Ranch to celebrate launch of new book ‘Cook the Part’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH When guests attend a dinner party at the home of Gary and Karin Eastham there is something else planned beside eating the food. On arrival, each guest dons an apron and plays a vital part in preparing the dinner. But with Karin Eastham’s well-honed organizational talents, the dinner turns into a fun event where new culinary skills are learned and new relationships are formed. Now Karin Eastham has gathered this experience into a book and on Nov. 5 the clubhouse in Fairbanks Ranch was packed with people gathered to celebrate the launch of “Cook the Part” [Crosswalk Press, Nov 2011]. Present were those who contributed to the book: Traci O’Very Covey, the artist who created the book’s lavish illustrations, and Cari Lightfoot Pike, who provided the photography, along with Rhonda Rhyne and Bryna Kranzler, who teamed up with Eastham to form Crosswalk Press. “This was my way to say, ‘Thank you!’” Eastham said. More than a collection of recipes, the book contains individual chapters for themed menus. Each chapter has a detailed guide for four teams, usually made up of two or three people. Easy-to-follow instructions provide all the necessary steps, from ingredient gathering, to preparation, to table presentation. Included is a master plan for the host that shows what each team does at a specific time, and also covers the pre-planning of the dinner, including shopping for fresh ingredients and creating guest invitations. The end result is a “fabulous four-course meal,” Eastham said. Tuscan Farmhouse Dinner, Comfort Food, and A Taste of Baja, are just three of eight featured menus. “This is an entertaining revolution that allows everyone, even the inexperienced cook, to host dinner parties that will leave guests wanting more,” said Eastham, who has been entertaining and cooking with her husband for 42 years. Gary’s famous “rub” is a key ingredient in several of the dishes. The idea to create hands-on dinner parties was born out of family tradition. Each year the Easthams hosted a weeklong Thanksgiving feast with guests assigned to culinary tasks that culminated in the final Thanksgiving dinner. “It was a lot of work to keep track of what everybody should do. So I started making spreadsheets. People knew exactly what they should chop and when, and which specif-

ic ingredients to use in a dish,” explained Eastham, a CPA and former chief operating officer at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research who still serves on four biotech company boards. The Easthams delved into organized team cooking when they volunteered their kitchen for a Pasta Fest with six couples creating a variety of pastas and sauces. Eastham drew up separate assignments, then gave each couple their written instructions. “Everyone really appreciated their ‘cheat sheets’,” she recalled. This was the beginning of the concept for her cook book. Over the years, many co-workers, friends and family have taken part in the Eastham’s dinner parties. When two CEOs cooked together they quickly became competitive, in a light-hearted way. Annette Bradbury recalled how her husband, Dan Bradbury of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, competed with Steve Altman of Qualcomm. “They each wanted their dough to get shinier, faster,” she said.

The Easthams divide couples, pairing a husband with another’s wife on a separate team. “That way they get to know each other, and it’s a lot more fun,” Eastham said. A passion for food is rooted in Karin Eastham’s heritage. Born in Germany and moving to the United States in 1956, she learned to cook as a child. “My mother, Mutti, lived in the kitchen and frequently summoned my help,” she explained. When unexpected visitors arrived they, too, were put to work in Mutti’s kitchen. “Her guests always came back for more – the food and the work – because they enjoyed learning, creating and indulging,” said Eastham. This link to family tradition has been passed on to the Easthams’ two adult children who host their own teamcooking parties. And Eastham’s former party guests, who range from chemists to CEOs, to high-powered business people, and everything in between, boast of a new-found confidence and a joy of cooking. Jennifer Cayer hosted the Comfort Food-themed dinner. At first she was anxious about having some of the executives she works with cooking in her kitchen. “But having a team build the meal took all the pressure off me,” said Cayer, who followed Eastham’s model precisely. “It was one of the best dinner parties I ever hosted,” she said. “There was lots of laughter.” In conjunction with the book is an interactive blog and website. Visitors to the blog are encouraged to comment on their experiences, share recipes, and post photographs. In the works are future chapters with dinners centered on special occasions, the latest being an Oktoberfest-themed dinner. The book, which retails at $24.95, is available from the website and comes with a complimentary pdf copy. Visit www.cookthepart.com to purchase a signed first edition.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Community Concerts of RSF to hold first concert of the season Nov. 18 Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe opens its 12th concert season at the Fellowship Hall of the Village Presbyterian Church the evening of Nov. 18 with jazz sensation, Anna Wilson. (All shows start at 7 p.m., doors open at 6:15 p.m. for wine and appetizers). Wilson is a critically-acclaimed jazz artist and songwriter. Her most recent album, Yule Swing!, reached No. 12 on the Billboard jazz chart. Her decadent and powerful voice, which Jazz Times likens to “crème de cocoa,” has earned her shared billings with Josh Grobin, Al Jarreau, and countless others. Additionally, she is a successful songwriter with lots of energy and depth as her style reflects the two musical genres that have defined her career – jazz and country. Prior to the concert, Wilson will be performing an abbreviated concert for faculty, students and their families (supporting the mission of CCofRSF as part of their outreach program) at North Terrace Elementary School in Oceanside. Following this energizing season opener the season continues at the Village Presbyterian Church through April with the next concert on Jan. 25, 2012 with Intersection, a classical string quartet, then onto March 21, 2012 with The Water Coolers, a musical comedy group. The final concert is on April 13, 2012 with vocalist, Christiane Noll. Complimentary catered hors d’ oeuvres, desserts, coffee, soft drinks and wine (the wine is donated by Northern Trust Bank) are served at each concert. In support of encouraging children’s musical interest children less than 18 years are admitted without charge. Following each concert individuals who have contributed to the Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe at the Sponsor, Benefactor or Patron Levels of charitable giving are invited to a private reception with the artists at a private residence in the area.

nity service organization and a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, previously announced the creation of a performing arts student scholarship. Sharon McDonald, President of the Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe, announced the creation of the Holly Wilson Performing Arts Student Scholarship. Ms. Wilson was the founder of the CCofRSF 11 years ago. The scholarship is for $2500/ year for 4 years and is for pursuit of an education in the performing arts. Ruby Edman, EDD, is the Scholarship Chair for Community Concerts of RSF. She is the former principal in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District. Dr. Edman will be following procedures as outlined by the San Dieguito High School District for administration of the scholarship. Her previous experience of working with the Del Mar Rotary and Maega Community Organization on scholarship projects is an asset to the administration of the project.

Winning “Best of Show” was this 1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Convertible owned by RSF residents Ken and Ann Smith.

RSF residents’ automobile wins ‘Best of Show’ at Del Mar Concours d’Elegance The Del Mar Concours d’Elegance, featuring many of the world’s most beautiful and rare automobiles, was held Oct. 16 at the Del Mar Race Track Paddock. Eighty of the finest automobiles in the world entered to be judged and hoped to win the coveted “Best of Show” award. The Del Mar Concours d’ Elegance was the vision of CEO and Chairman Timothy Henry. The “Best of Show” honor went to the 1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Convertible (in photo above) owned by Rancho Santa Fe’s Ken and Ann Smith.

Book signing event with the author of ‘The Mozza Cookbook’ to be held at Chino Farm in RSF For the first time, on Nov. 20, from 11 a.m.1 p.m., the Sunday before Thanksgiving, the Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe will host a book signing to celebrate “The Mozza Cookbook.” Written by Nancy Silverton, owner of the phenomenally popular and critically- acclaimed Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles, and Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles and Newport Beach, along with San Diego native Carolynn Carreño, “The Mozza Cookbook” has received universal raves and was touted by Los Angeles Weekly as “freaking awesome!” It is the first time that the farm has opened up to the public in such a way. “Hosting this book signing,” says Nina MacConnel, who is married to Tom Chino, one of four siblings who run the farm, “offered the opportunity to honor three people we greatly respect and have had a symbiotic relation with over many years: Chef Nancy Silverton, writer Carolynn Carreño, and Milane Christiansen.” The founder of the nowshuttered Book Works in Del Mar, Christiansen will be selling the books at the event. Likewise, the signing offered Silverton the opportunity to honor the Chino family and their extraordinary farm. “I first discovered Chino’s produce in the 1980s,” says Silverton, who, as the founder of La Brea Bakery and owner of two

of the most popular restaurants in the state, is one of a handful of the most influential chefs in the Southland. “I was at Spago, and Frank Chino made a delivery. I didn’t know who he was, or that Alice Waters was using their stuff. I just knew that what I was tasting was something very special, and I couldn’t wait to meet the people who had grown these things.” In addition to the signing, there will be an informal reception serving prosecco, as well as cookies inspired by those baked by Fred Chino, and crostini made by Mozza chef Chad Colby, with Chino winter squash, sautéed bitter greens, and smoked bacon. “Cooking with Chino vegetables,” Silverton says, “is almost like a guarantee. I just know that whatever I’m making is going to be as good as it can possibly be because I’ve started with a raw product that is as good as it can possibly be.” For those home cooks who want such a guarantee, the stand will be open as usual that day for shopping. Among the many vegetables and fruits that have earned them nationwide acclaim, the Chinos grow Brussels sprouts, green beans, five varieties of sweet potatoes, and many varieties of winter squash, and other vegetables typical of a traditional Thanksgiving feast. Between those veggies, and such Thanksgiving-friendly recipes contained in The Mozza Cookbook as Brussels Sprouts with Prosciutto Breadcrumbs, Cauliflower Gratinata, and Date Pumpkin Tart with Bourbon Gelato, you are sure to kick your family feast up at least one notch. Chino Farm is located at 6123 Calzada del Bosque, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

Dr. A. Brent Eastman named President-Elect of the American College of Surgeons RSF’s Dr. A Brent Eastman, fellow of the American College of Surgeons, was named president-elect of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) at the 97th Annual Clinical Congress. Dr. Eastman, a general, vascular and trauma surgeon is chief medical officer of Scripps Health Dr. A. Brent and the N. Paul Whittier chair of trauma at Eastman Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. Dr. Eastman has been instrumental in the development of trauma systems worldwide. He is one of the co-founders of San Diego County’s trauma system and has helped put trauma systems into place on six continents. A fellow of the ACS since 1976, Dr. Eastman began serving on the college’s Board of Regents in 2001. He participated in the ACS and American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Distinguished Visiting Surgeon in Combat Casualty Program at the United States military hospital Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany in July 2007. He subsequently was granted and assigned the distinction of honorary member of the United States Army Medical Regiment by order of the U.S. surgeon general. In 2009, shortly before his election as chair of the Board of Regents, Eastman delivered the Scudder Oration, the signature speech on trauma care, at the annual ACS Clinical Congress, titled “Wherever the Dart Lands: Toward the Ideal Trauma System.” In addition to serving as a regent, Dr. Eastman has been a member of many ACS committees and served as the chair of the college’s Committee on Trauma from 1990 to 1994. He helped create and was the first chair of the COT Trauma System Consultation Committee and is an instructor for the internationally renowned Advanced Trauma Life Support™ course. Dr. Eastman also chaired the college’s Scholarship Committee from 2005 to

2008, Central Judiciary Committee from 2007 to 2009 and the Finance Committee of the Board of Regents from 2009 to 2010.

In addition, Eastman served as chair of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Research Agenda Steering Committee and is a member of the Board of Scientific Counselors, National Center for Injury Prevention. Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Eastman has authored or co-authored multiple publications and articles related to trauma. He served on the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee that in 2006 published the landmark report, “The Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System.” A graduate of the University of Wyoming and the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, Dr. Eastman served as student body president at both institutions. At UCSF he completed a surgical internship and residency, and served as chief surgical resident. Dr. Eastman also spent one year as a surgical registrar at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital in Norwich, England. Dr. Eastman is not the only member of his family to create a lasting legacy at Scripps. His wife, Sarita, also a graduate of the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, is a pediatrician and author. Her recently published biography, “A Trail of Light: The Very Full Life of Dr. Anita Figueredo”, chronicles her mother’s journey from Costa Rica to the U.S. where she pursued her dream in medicine and eventually became the first woman surgeon in San Diego. Dr. Sarita Eastman, Dr. Figueredo and her husband, Dr. William Doyle, all practiced medicine at Scripps. Dr. Doyle also served as chief of staff at Scripps La Jolla in 1964.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

John Burnham Schwartz

Profile

Writer focuses on the unbreakable bonds of family in new sequel novel ‘Northwest Corner’ Editor’s Note: John Burnham Schwartz was the first speaker in the 2011-2012 Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society’s luncheon series featuring a slate of six distinguished authors. The series, now in its 11th year, is sponsored by Northern Trust, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and this newspaper. The next author scheduled for Jan. 3 is novelist Paula McClain and her book, “The Paris Wife,” a fictional portrait of Ernest Hemingway’s first wife, Hadley Richardson.

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Growing up on the Upper East Side of New York City on 96th Street, novelist and screenwriter John Burnham Schwartz was, in a way, one of the lucky ones. Sure he, his brother

and even his father, were, on occasion, mugged, no big deal; but, more importantly, his father, Alan Schwartz, was a lawyer who represented some of the most prominent writers, artists, actors and publishers on the New York arts scene during the 1960s and ’70s — including Arthur Miller (“Death of a Salesman”), Truman Capote (“Breakfast at Tiffany’s”), Peter Shaffer (“Equus and Amadeus”), Jerzy Kosinski (“The Painted Bird”), Dustin Hoffman (“The Graduate”) and journalist/ historian David Halberstam. “They became friends and members of our family circle,” Schwartz recalled. Despite that very special and “culturally privileged” time in his life, be-

Quick Facts Name: John Burnham Schwartz Distinction: Schwartz, writer of five novels, including “Bicycle Days” and “Reservation Road,” and a growing number of screenplays, was the first prominent guest author to address the 11th season of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society at its opening luncheon held on Nov. 3 at The Grand Del Mar. Schwartz’s latest novel is the critically-acclaimed “Northwest Corner.” Born: New York City, 46 years ago Education: B.A. in East Asian Studies, Harvard College, 1987 Family: He and his wife, screenwriter/food writer Aleksandra Crapanzano, have been together 20 years and married 14 years. They have one son, Garrick, almost 6. His novels: “Bicycle Days (1989); Reservation Road (1998); Claire Marvel (2002); The Commoner (2008); and Northwest Corner (2011)” Recent reading: “Hemingway’s Boat,” an examination of the three final decades of writer Ernest Hemingway’s life, by Paul Hendrickson. Favorite film: “Lost in Translation,” 2003 American film, set in Japan, directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. Getaway: Nantucket, Massachusetts Philosophy: “I try not to have a philosophy [in my work]. I think inevitably I do have views about things, but I try not to think thematically in that way. Oftentimes, it’s after it’s all done that I understand exactly what I felt about something.”

coming a writer was something he thought he could never seriously aspire to. The writers who visited his family’s home “were at the very top of what they did and I didn’t associate myself with them.” Then, when he was 14 and after his parents divorced, “I basically stopped writing for a number of years and the whole prospect of introspection of any kind was something I wasn’t particularly keen on.” So when he went to Harvard and had to select a major during his freshman year, he chose East Asian Studies. “My roommate dared me to do it, and I did,” he said. And, why not, Japan was THE up-and-coming player in global economics at the time — and Schwartz thought he’d prepare himself for a stable future career in finance as an analyst for a Wall Street investment bank by steeping himself in Japanese economics, history, language and culture. He even lived with a Japanese family and worked for an American company in Tokyo for four months in 1986, analyzing the Japanese stock market, but, when it came time to write his undergraduate thesis, instead of writing a financially-based thesis, he persuaded Harvard to let him write a fictional account of a young American coming of age in Japan as his thesis. “They had never allowed that before,” Schwartz said. “So that was a first.” A poetry class at Harvard had helped rekindle his love of language and his interest in writing, “opening a door that had been closed and walking through.” The resultant 100-page thesis became the basis of Schwartz’s first novel, “Bicycle Days,” published on his 24th birthday in 1989 after he had postponed taking a job with First Boston to work in a New York bookstore. While working

at the bookstore he expanded his thesis into his debut novel that became an instant bestseller — and “took years for me to recover from.” We interviewed the 46-year-old Schwartz in the library of The Grand Del Mar prior to his luncheon talk to the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society at its season opener on Nov. 3. Fine featured, blueeyed and wearing a blue blazer, he probably looks much the way he did when he used to play championship squash for Harvard in the mid-1980s. His fifth and latest novel, “Northwest Corner,” published this past August, is a surprise sequel to his second novel, “Reservation Road,” published in 1998 about a family tragedy arising out of a hit-and-run that took the life of 10-year-old Josh Learner on a deserted Connecticut road. The accident results in the driver, Dwight Arno, after being tracked down by the victim’s father, serving a prison term and later trying to assume a low-key

life in a Southern California suburb. “Northwest Corner” revisits the original cast of flawed characters after a passage of 12 years and examines how the long-ago hit-and-run tragedy continues to affect the lives of the Arno and Learner families in the limbo between condemnation and redemption. Or, as he empathetically says of the characters in his second novel, “There are heroes, and there are the rest of us.” Why a sequel? Because essentially, he said, it was fascinating to go back after 12 years in his characters’ lives, and, by the time he finished writing the sequel, 12 years later in his own life, to discover that there are “certain things … about family that I really didn’t know I believed. “I think the book…is really about the resilience of family and the unbreakable need we have, in whatever circumstances, to keep leaning to people that we love no matter what we’ve done.”

After the success of his first novel, which had been largely autobiographical, Schwartz headed to the literary mecca of Paris and, while struggling to come up with a follow-up novel, nose-dived into depression, heavy drinking and insomnia. Meeting the woman who would later become his wife, screenwriter/food writer Aleksandra Crapanzano, and returning to Harvard to teach, he settled into six years of writing to produce his second novel, “Reservation Road,” that was hailed as “a triumph” by the New York Times Book Review. In between “Reservation Road” and “Northwest Corner,” Schwartz published “Claire Marvel” (2002), a love story set in America and France, and “The Commoner” (2008), a novel based on the life of the current Empress Michiko of Japan, the first commoner to marry into the Japanese imperial family. “I try to learn from my books. Just the same way that serious novels teach people how to read them, they also teach the novelist how to write them. I’m a writer who believes in seeing the world through the perspectives of my characters — and what I perceive to be their needs, constraints and compulsions dictate what I see and how I express them. “I try not to have a philosophy [in my work]. I think inevitably I do have views about things, but I try not to think thematically in that way. Oftentimes, it’s after it’s all done that I understand exactly what I felt about something.” He is planning to set his next novel in post-tsunami Japan. In meantime, he will be adding to his screenwriting credits, which include the script for “Reservation Road” that starred Joaquin Phoenix, two screenplay adaptations and a planned HBO movie on convicted swindler Bernie Madoff to star Robert De Niro.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Chad Robert Stewart pens a book Grandparents and special friends of the Ranch School invited to Thanksgiving performance and more he hopes will teach all to excel Chad Robert Stewart is an international management consultant, global strategist, author, and public speaker. He is founder of the Britfield Group and a global strategist for Wolf Management Consultants, where he helps companies maximize productivity and profitability. Chad Robert Stewart received Stewart his B.A. from Brown University, did postgraduate work at Harvard and Oxford Universities, and earned an M.B.A. from Boston College. He’s taken advanced courses at the Institute of Directors, London. Before becoming a full-time business consultant, Stewart worked at Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch. Stewart is on tour with his new book, “The Five Great Principles for Life,” published by Pelican, which he launched at a special event at Warwick’s in October. What brought you to this area? Sixteen long years in Wellesley, Mass., and the desire to be close to my family. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I’d arrange a massive overhaul of downtown San Diego. I’ve been all over the world and know we can do better here. Perhaps this is a future strategic project for me. Who or what inspires you? Those who yearn for the impossible; and those who want to learn, grow, and improve. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Set aside from close friends and family, and in the spirit of having fun with the

question: Ludwig van Beethoven, Napoleon Bonaparte, Sir Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Abraham Lincoln and J. K. Rowling. What are your five favorite movies of all time? “Dead Poets Society” (1987), “The Great Escape” (1963); “The Philadelphia Story” (1940); “The Sound of Music” (1965) and “Star Wars” (1977). What is your most-prized possession? My education, travels and experience. What do you do for fun? Travel (mostly abroad), attend cultural events, play tennis, go sailing, write, swim, and support the San Diego Ballet, for which I am now a board member. Describe your greatest accomplishment. It’s my new book, “The Five Great Principles for Life,” which is based on 20 years of experience working with 50 professional trainers, four self-made millionaires, three Fortune 500 companies, and successfully launching multiple businesses. And also, my recently finished 450-page young adult adventure novel, “Britfield & the Lost Crown,” which is the first in a five-part series that takes place all over the world. Britfield will be released next year in 2012. What is your philosophy of life? Whatever you do, do it well or not at all. And to always learn, grow, and improve. My two favorite quotes are: • “Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.” – Goethe • “In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him, and in that I am his pupil.” – Emerson

1st Annual RSF Community Center Turkey Trot & Barbeque to be held in RSF Nov. 26 By Erin Weidner, Executive director RSF Community Center Mark your calendars! You won’t want to miss out on the fun at the RSF Community Center’s 1st Annual Turkey Trot on the Arroyo (the RSF Association property out on El Vuelo) from noon-3 p.m. (when everyone is still laughing well into December) on Saturday, Nov. 26. We’ll mark the end of the Thanksgiving weekend, when everyone will be looking for a way to work off all the food we’ve shared over the holiday. It’s also a great answer to the Erin Weidner question: “What DO I do with all these friends and family who are visiting and are STILL in town?!” (*credit goes to our board member Tim Cusac of Café Positano & Rancho Sandwich) You don’t have to actually run in order to enjoy the day. Tickets are $10 per person and includes a commemorative kids or adult sized t-shirt. The run will include a mud obstacle course, a kids short race and hidden prizes along the route. We’ll have a guided nature walk around the lake on the property as well. There’s a barbeque, food trucks, hopefully a local winery pouring, a bonfire, bocce ball, games, (live) music, and popup village from our intrepid sponsors – athletic gear, bike shops, golf shops and the like as of today’s date. We’ll also have a raffle with great prizes. Just come out, sit around the bonfire, visit with friends and neighbors and maybe sing a song or two. You never know… As we’re pulling this event together we are looking for volunteers, additional sponsors and all-around fun people who want to be a part of this fun weekend! This event will replace our fall fundraiser (we’ve moved the Poker Tournament to Jan. 21). Sign up as a family team, solicit your neighbors as a Street Team, enlist your co-workers, or a band of brothers, but rise to the challenge! There will be prizes, music and a post-race BBQ out on this gorgeous piece of Rancho. More details to follow, or just call me at 858-756-1480. We’re thankful to the Association for helping to bring this family- friendly, fitness-focused, laughably fun Race to our doorsteps! Toastmasters is here every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. If you’re a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, or your business is in Rancho, you are eligible to join our RSF Toastmasters group. Are you looking to improve your speaking skills, polish your leadership skills, jumpstart your career, or polish your interviewing skills. Dues are only $36 every six months. A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a no-pressure atmosphere. Meetings run from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Local businesses are getting involved at the Community Center Our Business-to-Business group has been growing steadily with Rancho residents and businesses getting together monthly. Our group last Thursday at the RSF Golf Club had a wide array of people and businesses. From this group of Business Members and Associate Community Center members, we’re putting together a dynamic committee to follow through on our Newcomers “Welcome Wagon” program. If you’re interested in helping to welcome newly minted residents of Rancho Santa Fe, then this is the place for you—and

we’ll welcome your expertise and help. Watch in the coming weeks for the official opening of a wi-fi lounge here in our Herrick Room for locals only. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., we’ll have tables and chairs set up for Community Center members to stop in and return some emails, meet up with a downtown colleague to review a proposal, or just step out of the house to get a little work done in a fresh environment. You might stop in just before school pick-up or linger longer after you drop the kids off in the morning and finish a morning walk. Volunteer opportunities here at the Community Center How’d you like to volunteer right here in the middle of all the action? We’re looking for a couple of volunteers to help for two hours once a week. There’s never a dull moment here, and we’ve got a great group of kids and activities. Due to numerous requests from Community Center members and parents for a way that their middle and high school students can earn community service hours they need to graduate. As a result, we’ve created our Junior Rec Leader program, but space is limited. The Junior Rec Leader will be paired one-on-one with our terrific Recreation Leaders here at the Community Center. They’ll get the chance to lead field games, playground time, study time and help with our Mac computer lab. Ongoing Rec-In-The-Ranch programs will be easier to find & follow Look for our new bulletin board at the RSFCC an online in our emerging digital community calendar. We’re now doing monthly low tide walks, working on a drop-in volleyball, men’s weekend basketball league, a ballroom dance class that looks like it will start with a dozen people, and a walking group. Yoga and Jazzercise have an ongoing, enthusiastic group of participants. Join in the fun, and make some new, like minded friends: Yoga: Tues & Thu 8:15-9:15 a.m. Ongoing Jazzercize: Mon & Wed 9:15-10:15 a.m. Ongoing Boys Junior Dunkers are a top pick with Sponsors! The Boys Junior Dunkers program is well underway and there’s never a lack of balls bouncing in our gyms. We had 22 boosters step up to sponsor a team this year! That’s 200 percent of last year’s support, so a big Thank You to: Velatel Global Communications, United Development Group, INC, Barry Estates, Tre Figli Advisors, The Faltinsky Family, The Flaming Family, Foley Development, INC, Sunrise Capital Partners, Belly Up, The Guiltinan Group, The Hank Family, The Jalali Family, The Kanner Family (Your Family Matters), San Diego Harley-Davidson, Mossy Nissan, The Notarainni Family, The Poage Family, The Previti Family, BMW of Murrieta, The Sweeney Family Foundation, ValueSelling and Heritage Ranch Management.

Natural horseman clinician shares expertise at Rancho Riding Club BY KELLEY CARLSON While last weekend’s storms sent most local residents scurrying for cover, a group of riders didn’t let the rain dampen their interest in a horsemanship clinic. Natural horseman clinician Bryan Neubert made a special appearance from Nov. 4 through 6 at the Rancho Riding Club in Rancho Santa Fe to address safety issues and answer questions from the 16 participants. Neubert, from Alturas, is renowned for handling wild horses, and was featured in a Western Horseman magazine article titled “Taking the wild out of mustangs� in 1996. He appeals to horses’ instincts, building a partnership with them that resembles relationships between horses. Neubert has been conducting horsemanship and roping clinics at home and around the country full time for about 20 years, working with various breeds of horses and addressing issues such as colt starting and problem solving. “People generally need to realize it’s not their horse they’re working on, it’s them,� Neubert said. As the clinic at the Rancho Riding Club kicked off, riders centered their attention on Neubert, as they sat tall in their saddles, water dripping down the brims of their hats, in a riding ring. Neubert took turns focusing his bright blue eyes on participants, asking each one about their main concerns, which ranged from using hackamore headgear to a horse being “dead sided� (not responsive to leg signals). In his first demonstration, Neubert stood on the ground and used a flag on a chestnut horse he was planning to ride to help it become comfortable with the new experience of a flapping object. “As it was raining and he was wearing a long yellow slicker, it’s better to check this out on the ground than to climb on and find out the horse has a fear of such things,� said Debbie Rocha, a trainer at the club and organizer of the clinic. “He was showing how the horse could go from being totally confused and afraid of something to being confident and interested.� Participants continued to ask Neubert questions, and he proceeded to answer and provide several examples. He also demonstrated with a horse to give riders a picture of what he was trying to convey, Rocha said.

John Alcorn, a horseman who works with the nonprofit rescue organization Horses of Tir Na Nog, said he learned several things from the clinic, including diverting attention from that which bothers a horse, such as tightening a cinch on a saddle. “I can say that I am always amazed at the generosity of the natural horseman clinicians,� said Alcorn, who was visiting the riding club for the first time. “Every one I’ve met has been forthright and open and more than willing to explain and help the folks who attend. “I had never been to one of Bryan’s clinics, but I am very aware of him and his reputation, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to come out and visit with him.� Neubert said that it was his first time at the Rancho Riding Club, although he had previously been to San Diego and Riverside counties. Rocha had previously been advised by her instructor,

His suggestions: Neubert and Joe Wolter. “Both were guys that I knew of by reputation,� Rocha said. “Since Ray’s death, I decided to seek these guys out. I had planned to ride with Bryan this same weekend in Benson, Ariz., but the clinic didn’t fill and was canceled. I called him and asked if I could try and have the clinic at RRC. He agreed, and I started calling people and got the word out. I had 16 riders signed up in three days.� Rocha holds a couple of clinics at the Rancho Riding Club each year, and often teams up with fellow horsewoman Amy LeSatz.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Canyon Crest student participates in prestigious program BY MEGAN MCVAY Imagine a state government completely administered by teenage boys. Last summer, at one of the country’s most respected educational programs, American Legion Boys State, this was reality and Canyon Crest Academy senior Danny King was in the middle of it. Across California, each high school selected one junior student to participate in the program, and last year the CCA administration chose Danny. After being selected by his school, he was interviewed by representatives of the American Legion, the nation’s largest veteran service organization, chartered by Congress in 1919. Soon, he received word that he had been admitted to the program, just as Neil Armstrong, Bill Clinton and Harry Reid had been many years ago. “I have always been interested in leadership, but the [24-hour news cycle] has really kept me in tune with politics. I am constantly researching issues, forming a

side and arguing my points,” said Danny. Last June, after a 12-hour bus ride, Danny and about 800 other students arrived at Sacramento State College, eager to dive into the nuances of politics and constitute their own government. “The program was what you made of it. If you really want to learn something, you need to learn it by experience and that’s what I always try to do,” said Danny. Within hours of arriving, the boys were placed into one of two political parties, the Whigs or the Federalists, and were assigned their respective dorm buildings. Each floor represented a city and each building represented a county and, collectively, the buildings symbolized the state. Although this studentrun government was nothing more than a simulation, it still operated under the same ideas of the U.S. government. Danny had to pay taxes and fines with fake money, follow his city’s rules, abide by the program’s newly

drafted Constitution and go to the Supreme Court to be tried for offenses. Lawyers had to pass a BAR exam and these young politicians had to run for their positions in formal elections. Like many participates, Danny decided to run for a county government position. During the election process, he had to follow a specific set of rules and raise 50 fake dollars. While campaigning, Danny realized the power of propaganda through the many posters he hung in virtually every nook and cranny of the campus. Additionally, he established his own “Ping-Pong Diplomacy” as he created positive relationships with potential voters over ping-pong matches at the college’s recreation center. However, the most successful component of his campaign strategy was the speech he wrote and delivered in front of 150 people. “I don’t fear speaking. I use words to make people think. The skill has helped me become a leader and,

out a change and I hope to do this by studying economic science, moving into the public sector and gradually working my way up through the ranks,” said Danny, who recently received a commendation from Mayor Jerry Sanders for his participation in the program.

maintain their culture, hence the needs for the hall and library. Beth Broussalian, a Carmel Valley resident and member of the Armenian church, said that Armenian churches typically include an athletic facility for church sports leagues, allowing them to keep their culture together and work with youth at a church level. Turgeon said that, according to the framework plan for the area, design guidelines call for structures to be low profile and blend into the landscape. “Our intention is to pick natural colors and materials,” said Escobar-Eck. “We’re geared toward embracing the river valley, that’s where the majority of our views will be.” The hope is for most of the area to be restored, as the area serves as an access point to Gonzales Canyon, the canyon east of Torrey Pines High School. Escobar-Eck said that in working with the wildlife agencies (California Department of Fish and Game and U.S. Fish and Wildlife), their position has been to pre-

serve the lower area of the site, which has more value as a wildlife corridor and the potential to be re-vegetated. They will contain their development to the top part of the mesa in an area that is already “disturbed,” Escobar-Eck said. Co-chair Anne Harvey said they hear all the time from developers that land is already disturbed or that there is no native vegetation—the fact is that there can be. “Every square foot helps in keeping that population viable,” Harvey said. Turgeon said open space has a lot of different uses and meanings, from protected sensitive biology or landform preservation to simply providing a break from urbanization. “Certain lands were earmarked for the MHPA, not to be just whittled away because it doesn’t look pretty,” Fuchs said. Escobar-Eck argued that they believe there is a mapping error and that the majority of their development stays out of the MHPA, except for the road, which they would like to move if possible. “The road is what’s driving all of this because of getting access to the site,” Escobar-Eck said. The church, and the wildlife agencies would prefer the access road take a straight route right after the Formosan church instead of further down El Camino Real and winding through the sensitive habitat.

DRUGS continued from page 4 chemistry. The ranking, published in Thomson Reuter’s ScienceWatch newsletter, tracks trends and performance in basic research during the period 2001 to 2011.

This was followed in the ranking by Harvard University, Rice University, and Caltech. More information at bit.ly/p04F5S. Genetics and alcoholism: A study by UCSD School of Medicine researchers suggests that differences in brain activation in individuals with a low level of response to alcohol may contribute to their inability to recognize modest levels of alcohol intoxication. A low level of response to alcohol is a genetically influenced characteristic that carries significant risk for the later development of alcoholism. In the study researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine brain activation in young men and women, ages 18 to 25, with both low and high level of response to alcohol and found significant differences in brain activation between individuals while performing a cognitive task. The findings could provide a marker to identify individuals at risk for developing an alcohol-use disorder before it develops. The findings appear online in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. News release bit.ly/nR69QN. Lynne Friedmann is a science writer

R. Roger Rowe School third grade class writing celebration The R. Roger Rowe School was buzzing recently with the first writing celebration for Ms. Hocko’s third grade class. All parents were cordially invited to attend. The children were very happy with the writing pieces they had worked so hard on. The parents had a great time listening to the various presentations in small groups. After the celebration the children showed the parents around and had snacks. The children were so proud of their hard work and the parents even prouder of their young 3rd graders. It was a very special day for all! This is one example of the school’s literacy excellence program, just one part of the Five-Star Education supported by the RSF Education Foundation.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Solana Santa Fe Elementary said ‘Peace Out To Drugs’ in honor of Red Ribbon Week Solana Santa Fe joined schools throughout the country in marking Red Ribbon Week to raise awareness of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse by saying “Peace out to drugs!” The campaign kicked off Oct. 21 with an assembly promoting healthy lifestyles and making good choices; the school was then adorned in red ribbons. Red Ribbon Week serves as a tribute to Enrique Camarena, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration, who devoted his life to fighting drug trafficking. Agent Camarena, who was raised in San Diego, was kidnapped and murdered in 1985 while on a dangerous, undercover assignment in Mexico. His death prompted a public outcry across America against illegal drugs and supporters wore red ribbons in his honor. In 1988, three years after Agent Camarena’s death, this tragic event became a nationally recognized symbol of awareness and hope for a drug-free country. Sponsored by The National Family Partnership, Red Ribbon Week is the most far-reaching and well-known drug prevention event in America with an estimated 80 million Americans participating in Red Ribbon events. The schedule of events at Solana Santa Fe for Red Ribbon Week, held Oct. 24-28, and coordinated by the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), included a commencement assembly with Deputy Sheriff Henry Tirado of the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. He spoke to students about making good choices and staying safe. Students bedecked in red shirts took on the challenge of Principal Julie Norby’s promise to wear pajamas at week’s end in return for full, spirited student participation throughout the week. Each day of the week had its own theme to carry the message forward. On Tuesday, students in tie-dye and peace sign moniker shirts symbolized SSF’s theme of saying “Peace out to drugs.” On Wednesday, students wore sneakers to promote “Don’t let drugs sneak up on your day” which included a Coyotes on the Move run/walk around the playground. “Socking It To Drugs” was the theme on Thursday when students wore their craziest socks and ties. The day featured a teen panel from Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy who spoke to 5th and 6th grade students about the value of choosing a drug, alcohol and tobacco-free lifestyle. Rounding out the week on Friday, students were encouraged to “Turn your backs on drugs” by wearing their clothing backwards. One of the highlights of the week was none other than Principal Julie Norby, who spent the day running the school in her pajamas. — By Judy Ohrn Hicks

Rancho Santa Fe Review

ARROYO continued from page 1 1990s, is located about three miles from the village, on a long dirt road off Las Colinas after it turns into El Vuelo. Slosar said a playground is needed for the 28 percent of families in the Ranch with children under 10 who have no place for their children to go, for moms to meet and to create a sense of community in a place where you can go months without seeing a neighbor. The Association seemed to point toward the Village Presbyterian Church playground as the community playground. Some mothers expressed feeling uncomfortable going where they are not members. “We can’t represent the Village Church structure as ours,” Slosar said. RSF Association director Larry Spitcaufsky said he understands the sentiment of ownership and said that in listening to people’s concerns he wants to find a way to say “yes” and not “no.” “We need to do whatever we can do to get it done,” Spitcaufsky said, coming up with the motion to direct staff to look at alternate locations for the park. None of the board members had a problem with the

concept. Board president Jack Queen said the issue is not money, it is location. “We’re in favor of what you’re trying to do, but it should be done at a place more appropriate and that would provide better use,” Queen said. “I think the community should have a play structure, I think it’s really important and we do need to have more of a sense of community,” director Eamon Callahan said. “I’m not sure about Arroyo as a location…I’m not sure if we built something down there it would get the use.” Slosar, a mother to five young children between the ages of 1 and 10, took on the playground project by herself, meeting with staff and parks and recreation committee. She submitted plans to Bears Playground Company in New York, who liked the design so much that they built the structure on spec (doing a job without any guarantee of being paid, in the hope of winning future business). Slosar had a photo of the structure sitting in the warehouse waiting to be shipped. If the Association had ordered it by Nov. 9, Slosar discovered they could have received a $2,000 offseason discount. It could have been up for play by Dec. 15, she said.

“I fully support Heather’s efforts, I love what she’s doing,” said Linda Leong at last week’s board meeting, which was a packed house. “I started on this effort eight years ago and I have an 8 year old now…I think Arroyo is a perfect place and this is, at least, a great start to make it a destination point. It needs a stimulus and what Heather’s proposing will be a catalyst.” People in attendance at the meeting viewed the Arroyo as open space in different ways. Bill Hinchy, a 35-year resident who raised three children in the Ranch, said they have heard proposals for swimming pools, soccer fields and more over the years. “Open space, since I’ve been here, is a passive space. What you’re considering moves well beyond passive use,” Hinchy said, noting that allowing a playground may become a slippery slope for more requests to use the land. Resident Rochelle Putnam disagreed with Hinchy. She said Arroyo is a beautiful property and she is passionate about preserving it, but considers the playground to be very low impact. She said she understands the argument about slippery slopes but said they would just rely on boards to fully review subsequent proposals. “I don’t think you need

proficiency, while third graders jumped to 97 percent. The district has been working really hard to target its fifth and sixth graders who, in 2004, were scoring in the 70th percentile. Now both have hit 88 percent, their scores are the highest they’ve ever been. One of the district’s other goals is to improve the subgroup scores, particularly students with disabilities and English learners.

John Leonard, vice president of JP Morgan in Southern California, will give a “Market Update; Guide to the Market” presentation at the next “Coffee and Conversation” event to be held on Thursday, Nov. 17, from 8-9 a.m. at the RSF Golf Club. The goal of this presentation is to provide some perspective on the markets and the economy, and to help simplify some of the complex issues of the day. The presentation will focus on the U.S. economy, and why it is growing so slowly. While politics does indeed have an impact, there may also be some broad, fundamental reasons for the lackluster pace of the recovery. Next, the focus will turn to some of the key drivers of recent market volatility, including the messy situation in Europe, fears of a recession in the U.S., and the public’s frustration with the political landscape. To attend “Coffee and Conversation,” contact Deana Carter at (858) 756-1566 or dcarter@carterfinancial.biz. The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is located at 5827 Via De La Cumbre in Rancho Santa Fe.

points to a score of 763. The subgroup is performing about on par with neighboring school districts, such as Del Mar Union School District and Solana Beach School District, but Schaub said it’s a little bit like comparing apples to oranges as there are varied levels of disabilities and differences in the population—RSF has under 50 students with disabilities. “While subgroup API increased, special education students still represent an achievement gap for Rancho Santa Fe,” Schaub said. District-wide the API score is up five points, to a 951. Schaub said that the district will continue working toward keeping students learning at high levels and making growth. Importantly, she said, teachers keep discussions focused on each and every student, not just numerical data.

to just blanket say, ‘nothing ever’,” Putnam said. As Slosar said, a play structure would’ve gotten people out to the Arroyo, making an investment in their land to make it better. “I love the fact that we have so much open space in the community,” said resident Kathi Mallick. “ It’s disappointing that we don’t have anything to draw people to those properties.”

Thyra Fellows passed away October 18, 2011, at the age of 101, in her home in Rancho Santa Fe. She was surrounded by her family and those who loved her. Thyra was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on December 18, 1909. She grew up in Toledo, meeting her husband at the age of 17. She and her husband, Russell Quincy Fellows, were married May 31, 1930, in New York City. They were married for 67 years before his passing in 1997. After living briefly in New York City, Thyra and Russell were transferred to Brazil in 1935 by his employer,

W.R. Grace & Company. They lived for a short time in Rio de Janeiro and then for many years in Sao Paulo where their only child, Sheryl, was born. They returned to the United States in 1951 settling in Rancho Santa Fe in 1952. Over the years, Thyra was involved in the Garden Club, the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club, bridge clubs, and in the founding of The Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. She continued playing tennis until she was almost 80 years old and playing bridge until 101! She and her husband also loved square dancing in the 1950s and 1960s and later enjoyed many years of traveling with their motorhome club and with their daughter and son-in-law. Thyra was a member of The Anchor Church in Encinitas, California. Thyra will be remembered for being the epitome of an elegant and fashionable lady. She was a good listener who cared deeply about people, treating them lovingly and giving to them sacrificially. Blessed with an eternal joie de vivre and optimism about life, she was a welcome addition at any gathering. Those who knew her well were also

privileged to see her fun and playful side. She had an unconventional sense of humor which took people by surprise as they did not expect it in someone of her age. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. Thyra, an only child, was predeceased by her husband, Russell Quincy Fellows, who died July 16, 1997. She is survived by her daughter, Sheryl Natalie Bullock Arnold of Rancho Santa Fe; Sheryl’s husband, Jim Arnold of Rancho Santa Fe; and granddaughters, Lauren Bullock of Encinitas and Melanie Bullock of Wheaton, Illinois. A memorial service, which was held in her home, was attended by over 100 friends and family. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to Summit4StemCell, 8555 Aero Drive, Suite 308, San Diego, CA 92123, (please note in the memo “Jim Arnold”), or to The San Diego Rescue Mission, PO Box 80427, San Diego, CA 92138-0427, or The Anchor Church, PO Box 230037, Encinitas, CA. 92024.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Action must be taken now to address critical need for more parking space in RSF Village It is 9:01 a.m. in the Ranch on this Tuesday morning and there is not a parking place to be had, NONE within three blocks of Main Street. I had to run an errand at 8:15 a.m. when the streets were empty and now it looks like downtown Del Mar in August without the benefit of parking control. How can we retailers stay in business when our potential customers have no place to park? All the spaces have already been taken by bank and real estate employees. In the late ‘80s and ‘90s, other retailers and I attended several meetings of

the RSF Association to plead our case, concerning the critical need for more parking. It was originally deemed that there was “no parking problem”; we were later upgraded to the 2-hour parking zone, which is never implemented (and everyone knows that)… The Association rejected our plan to cut a little of our parks (it would have barely impeded on the actual space) to create some diagonal parking which could have added 50 or 60 more spaces. Instead, the board voted in favor of spending much more to “beautify”

parks that are hardly ever used (and I look at that park from my office every day!) rather than help the retailers. If nothing is done about the situation, Ranch Santa Fe residents will lose the few retailers left and we will be left only with a village of banks/real estate offices/ brokerage firms, with little or no retail. I recently talked with a regular customer during dinner who said, “I would use the local mail store but I can never find a space, I would buy gifts in the village but I do not have the time to circle the block. I go to Encinitas where I have no parking

Education Matters/Opinion Helpless no more: Rate those teachers BY MARSHA SUTTON Now that one-quarter of the school year has passed, parents and students are quite familiar with their teachers and know who’s good, bad, average or outstanding. In most cases, it doesn’t actually take one-fourth of the school year to find out. If the teachers have been employed for at least a few years, almost everyone knows before school starts. Teachers know who in their Marsha Sutton own ranks is stellar and who is weak. And students certainly know by talking to other students. Parents by now can recognize their kids’ groans when they see their schedules and teachers. Because reputations are widely known, schools got wise and many don’t reveal the names of the teachers until the first day of classes. Having to deal with all the requests for schedule changes because students got the “bad” or the “hard” teacher became overwhelming. The obvious solution is to fire the “bad” teachers. But since union rules make this next to impossible, we as consumers are left with few options. We can write letters, meet with administrators, or ask for conferences. These options may work if the parent can make a convincing case that the “chemistry” between one particular teacher and one particular student is all wrong. But for most parents of unlucky students who get the short straw, it’s a frustrating process. Parents whose kids struggle through a full year with a mediocre teacher may breathe a sigh of relief at the end of the school year, grateful the ordeal is over. The inclination is to put the whole dreadful experience behind them and move on. Since their kids are finished with those teachers, many figure there’s no point in complaining. Or even praising for that matter. Your kids won’t have those teachers again, so why should you bother voicing your opinion? Well, you should, because other kids will have those teachers next year and the year after. And if administrators don’t get feedback from students and parents in real time, how do they know what’s going right and what’s going wrong? Granted, there isn’t a whole lot administrators can do with teachers of poor quality, given all the protections teachers have. Unless they commit some sort of heinous crime,

teachers with tenure really can’t be fired. But there are things that can be done, once administrators are made aware of problems. RateMyTeachers.com is one way to make yourself heard without exposing your or your child’s identity, or risking retribution. The infamous R-word, retribution, is what keeps so many parents silently fuming, bottling up feelings of helplessness and frustration. This site gives the silent majority a way to express their views without fear of harmful repercussions against their kids. Students have used the site for years. One might think that only negative comments are posted, but that’s not necessarily the case. True, many grumble about impossible instructors and warn future students to beware of teachers’ particular quirks, habits, preferences and styles. But surprisingly, many of the comments and ratings are positive. Students often elaborate about outstanding teachers and provide hints and tips on how to get along with the difficult ones. Yes, there are vindictive comments from some kids who give teachers a poor rating for petty reasons. But by and large, the comments feel real. Sometimes charitable kids will say they didn’t like a teacher personally but that

issue; I love your restaurant but I no longer to come for lunch since it is too frustrating to find a parking space.” So, what can be done now? My first thought would be to make a deal with the Christian Science Church which owns a parking lot never in use during the week and run a shuttle system for ALL retail employees. Retailers would pay for the cost of the shuttle (a couple of carts) and the Association would be in charge of its implementation. An alternative would be to use the plot of land behind the gas station to create an underground parking

area that would pay for its cost very rapidly as it has been proven in many other markets. These are just two ideas that I think make sense. I am sure there are many other good ideas out there, and it is time to shake our local government and the retailers apathy, start a movement, rather than just complain every day about a situation ever worsening. If you agree that we must take action now, please contact me at milfleurs@aol. com so that we can arrange for a RSF committee to meet and create a plan of action. Bertrand Hug

the teacher was quite capable and fair – that it was their problem and not the teacher’s for not acing the course. Insightful comments pepper the site, and the great teachers – those who really know how to transform the learning experience and make education exciting and life-changing – are duly recognized by students who are generous with their adoration for those gems in public education who devote their lives to the betterment of our kids. Although administrators will say the comments on RateMyTeachers.com cannot be used on evaluations (union rules generally prohibit this) and that they never look at what students and parents write, I suspect it’s visited far more often by district personnel than teachers would care to think. We as consumers dealing with a monopoly like public education that has complex union protections cannot “take our business elsewhere” unless we pay for private tuition. But we can make our voices heard. If nothing else, the venting makes us feel better. Local schools are listed on the site, including elementary schools, not just middle and high schools. And it’s not just teachers who can be rated – principals, counselors and other administrators are fair game as well. I encourage all parents to go to RateMyTeachers. com at the quarter mark in

the school year and take a few minutes to rate those teachers. Give the feedback you feel they deserve, and review their performance as if they were in a competitive market. Heap praise lavishly when earned – those excellent teachers need to hear that their efforts are recognized and applauded. And get the complaints off your chest about those who need to find new careers. Be specific. Comments like “worst teacher ever” – even if true – are not particularly helpful. Be sure to identify yourself as a parent (no names, obviously) as opposed to a student. Parents see teachers in ways kids might not, and our feedback provides principals and administrators with a perspective that can be valuable for helping weak teachers improve. Students too should make it a priority to go to RateMyTeachers.com and review their teachers at least twice a year. Lurkers can go there and read what kids and parents have already said. It’s eye-opening. But don’t just read – write your own comments. And make your voice heard. If for no other reason, you’ll feel better for saying it.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local author releases WWII murder mystery ‘The Evening Wolves’ available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Local resident Kate Carter Gooch is off to a vibrant start in the literary world with the Oct. 11 release of her first published book, “The Evening Wolves,” but it’s not the first work of fiction she’s penned. The 33-year resident’s writing career dates back to the 1970s, when she wrote a novel about a witches’ coven that came together at Torrey Pines. The author used to live in La Jolla — that’s where she met her husband, Tarrant — and she said she actually heard stories back then about 13 witches who gathered at 13 paths in the state reserve. The evidence they left behind, she said, was black candle wax. “Torrey Pines was notorious for the witches’ coven there. Everybody talked about it,” she said. “Torrey Pines was much different then than it is today. It

looked like a wasteland back then.” Although that novel, “The Seventh Daughter,” made the “Hollywood rounds,” she said, it never made it to the shelves — yet, at least — and she attributes that, in part, to some real-life circumstances regarding the subject matter that spooked her into abandoning it. “It gives me goosebumps thinking about it,” said the red-haired writer, who sports a sincere smile and radiant energy. She won’t reveal her age, but she’d probably fool the world if she did. Gooch is not only young at heart but she’s in great shape — she plays tennis at the La Jolla Tennis Club several times a week and is nationally ranked in the sport. Gooch’s origin is evident through her thick British accent. She was born Kathleen M. Gooch in a small town called Ware in Hertfordshire,

England. She was the 10th in a family of 11 (the seventh daughter), her father wrote poetry and her oldest brother was a published author. Her novel, “The Evening Wolves,” is a both a murder mystery and love story — a classic “who done it,” she said — that is centered around World War II and Nazi spies. Her choice of setting is not only inspired from war stories she heard growing up in England, but also shaped with accuracy by her husband, a retired U.S. Navy Commander. Gooch said much of her writing process consisted of reading pages to her husband on Sundays by the fire, and he would share real insight about military life. “I’d read about 10 pages or a chapter at a time. He always liked me reading it to him in my voice instead of reading it himself,” she said. “He never knew what was going to happen next. Some-

Kate Carter Gooch stands at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach, where she walks her dog almost daily. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN times I didn’t even know what was going to happen next.” For Gooch, writing is like having a blank canvas and “the words just come.” “The book takes on a life of it’s own,” she said. “The characters do things and I think ‘How will I put that in there?’ They are like, ‘You made me; this is what you have to deal with.’” The characters’ names

change constantly, she added, but not as much as the title, which she changed about 50 times. Even more challenging, was finding a publisher and literary agent during a time when the book industry is hurting. But Gooch is happy to work with Tate Publishing & Enterprises, a company she said has been “amazing,” and her book is available at both Barnes & Noble and on

Amazon.com. She said people who have read “The Evening Wolves” can’t put it down and many people have been telling her they want a sequel. She said she already has a completely different story in the works, and she welcomes the challenge of constant revising — as she said she did — all over again. “I love every frustrating moment of it,” she said.

he Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary of San Diego County hosted its 47th annual Presentation Tea on Nov. 3 to announce its 2012 Women of Dedication honorees. Rachel and Rose Camacho hosted the high tea at their Rancho Santa Fe home in The Crosby Estates. Among the 15 women to be awarded for their years of fundraising efforts and community service are three Rancho Santa Fe residents: Sharon Culver Considine, Susan Kazmarek-Biddick and Martha (“Muffy”) Walker. The 2012 Women of Dedication were nominated by some 400 previous honorees. A Selection Committee, comprised of all past Women of Dedication, then meets in September to review the nominations and choose the next “class.” The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary president is informed of the committee’s choices and a dozen, long-stemmed yellow roses are sent to each honoree notifying her of her selection. The Women of Dedication are formally honored at a spring luncheon. This year it will be held March 28 at San Diego Sheraton Hotel & Marina. PHOTO: JON CLARK

And the steady stream of customers at Tavérna Blu suggests that the establishment is blossoming. Tucked in among the shops of Del Mar Highlands Town Center, a few doors down from the Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas, Tavérna Blu is a modern, upscale, polished version of a Greek taverna — the equivalent of a French bistro or an English pub. “This was an opportunity to do something I always wanted,” said Katakalidis, founder and past CEO of the Daphne’s restaurant chain and a former professional soccer player. Open since June, the eatery features a brick-floored patio with umbrellas the hue of the Mediterranean to shade customers on bright, sunny days. Through the glass doors is a comfortable indoor dining area, with seating arrangements that easily allow for socialization.

and Katakalidis said the eventual goal is to reach 100 percent. Customers may want to ensure they are hungry when they dine at Tavérna Blu; the portions are on the large side, especially the salads and pastas. Try the Athenian Greek Salads with greens, tomato,

cucumber, olives, onion and feta, or Katakalidis’ favorite, the Garlic Pesto-ccine. The pitas are also sizable; Katakalidis said the Calamari Steak version is “probably the best you’ll ever have, hands down.” Then there are the house specials, served with grilled vegetables and a choice of Tavérna Rice (with tomato and a hint of lemon), garlic mashed potatoes or fries. Slow Braised Lamb Shank and Grilled Salmon Lemonato have proven to be the most popular so far at the restaurant, according to Katakalidis. The small plates options include Sauteed Lemon Greens; Sa-ga-naki, soft cheese flamed tableside; and a trio of Greek Tacos, with a choice of gyro, chicken or falafel. For dessert, try some Heaven — mascarpone, chocolate mousse, espresso and amaretto — or a Baklava Vanilla Ice Cream Sundae. Katakalidis recommends visiting the restaurant multiple times and experiencing the numerous menu items, so patrons can try “all the different flavors of the small plates, sandwiches and specials.” “It you want anything special done to your order, just ask,” he said.

Work of Mexico’s moderninsts showcased FROM MUSEUM REPORTS The Andrés Blaisten Collection of 20th-century Mexican art by many of the country’s most noted painters is on view at The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park through Feb. 19. Curators said visitors would experience a selection of 80 paintings dated between 1907 and 1956, including those from María Izquierdo, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo, which offer a diverse representation of Mexican modernism. Although the history of Mexican art is vast and important, works produced between 1920 and 1950 have garnered the most international attention. During this period, Mexico experienced a renaissance in the visual arts as artists, many of whom had studied in Europe, began applying European derived ideologies and techniques to a Mexican aesthetic. Modern Mexican art, however, does not begin and end with the works of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. “ ‘Mexican Modern Painting from the Andrés Blaisten Collection’ is a comprehensive survey of Mexican modernism and allows

‘Equilibrio’ by Manuel Gonzales Serrano (ca. 1944) for deeper understanding of the many factors that have

contributed to, enhanced, and furthered what we con-

sider to be modern Mexican painting,” curators wrote in a press release advancing the show. “This exhibition encourages examination and discussion regarding the presence of surrealism in Mexico, the role of Mexico City as a major art center, the influence of the open-air art school, the role of easel painting in the careers of artists more often associated with Mexican muralism, the contributions of foreign artists like Olga Costa and Jean Charlot, and the emphasis on indigenismo — the increased interest, following the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1920, in portraying the indigenous cultures — in the development of Mexican modernism.” The works complement the museum’s own holdings in its permanent collection of works by Rivera, Tamayo, Ramos Martínez, and Mérida, and it offers an opportunity for visitors to learn about Modern Mexican painting from an extensive collection. The exhibition was organized by the Phoenix Art Museum and The San Diego Museum of Art in cooperation with the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México.

TPHS Players performing ‘The Pierglass’ Torrey Pines High School Players will present “The Pierglass” at 7:30 p.m. from Nov. 8-11 and Nov. 15-18 at The Black Box. “The Pierglass” by Tom Norton is an American premier of a “Fringe First” awardwinning production by Young Pleasence Ensemble, Edinburgh, Scotland. The TP Players is the first theatre company in America to produce “The Pierglass.” By turns hilarious and suspenseful, this wonderfully Gothic melodrama tells the story of a motley theatrical troupe whose innumera-

ble and confusing productions slowly begin to mirror the real life of the seaside town into which they have arrived to perform. Scheming actresses, aspiring hopefuls and dashing heroes rub shoulders with some truly dastardly villains and blushing young heroines. “The Pierglass” is suitable for all age groups.

Canyon Crest Academy presents ‘Dead Man’s Cell Phone’ Don’t miss Canyon Crest Academy’s production of “Dead Man’s Cell Phone,” a dark, provocative comedy by American playwright Sarah Ruhl, which focuses on society’s obsession with technology. “Dead Man’s Cell Phone” opens Thursday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. and will run until Nov. 18. Mature audiences only. Tickets can be purchased from http://www.ccaenvision.org/events.html or at the door of the Black Box Theater at CCA, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego.

Canyon Crest Academy’s new Creative Design Club has an exciting assignment: design and produce 80 reusable “green” lunch bags for participants in the upcoming TEDxYouth@San Diego event to be held Nov. 20 at CCA. The theme of TEDxYouth@SanDiego is “The World in Our Grasp,” which inspires students to see a problem, to take responsibility and to do something now. Highlights pertaining to the Creative Design Club’s participation in the event include: • The project is truly eco-friendly: club members designed the bags using only recycled materials such as burlap potato sacks, plastic grocery bags, denim jeans, buttons and shoe boxes. • The lunch bag has an innovative design. It consists of two compartments. A rigid lower compartment holds sandwiches and wraps, and a water resistant upper compartment (lined with fused plastic grocery bags) holds drinks and snacks. The handles are made of re-

cycled denim jeans that have been braided and sewn into the top of the bag. • Each bag will be decorated with a screen print. Nicole Gereaux, a senior, designed the stencil that will be used for each bag. Students will be doing all the screen printing, as well as constructing the bags. • Janina Juwvipart, a junior at CCA, is the president of the Creative Design Club. CCA’s Creative Design Club (CDC) is in its first year. Creative Design Club members include Chris Chien, Merry Hodgman, Meagan Fry, Nicole Gereaux, Meagan Wu, Elli Sawada, Ruby He, Kari Breault, and Kevin Chang. On Nov. 20, at CCA, the TEDxYouth@ SanDiego team will welcome students from 20 San Diego County high schools to participate in the event.

Fall Festivities at Village Church Preschool The children at the Village Church Preschool have enjoyed various fall festivities. The school’s Parent Connection treated the children to a performance from Steve of Hullabaloo. There was singing and dancing for all classes in Fellowship Hall. On Halloween day, the children marched around the church campus in costume while families watched them pa-

rade. Everyone then moved into Fellowship hall with Miss Monica for a Halloween “sing along.” Throughout the week children enjoyed carving pumpkins, Halloween crafts, stories, music and festive snacks in their individual classrooms. It is a great beginning to our holiday season.

Insider tips to increase your chance for acceptance to your dream school BY ALANA ALBERTSON Every year, admissions counselors around the country review millions of college applications. How can you stand out from your peers and gain admission to your dream school? Follow these three tips below and Alana Albertson increase your chances of attending your favorite college: 1. Make Your College Application Stand Out! According to a survey by the National Association for College Admissions Counseling, the average admissions counselor spends no more than 15 minutes on the first read of an application. In order to make the cut, be sure that your application has been extensively proofread and edited. There should be no typos or grammatical errors and make sure to highlight your important accomplishments in the short answer portion to stand out. 2. Write an Amazing Essay! The same survey found that colleges have increased the weight of the essay from 14 percent in 1993 to 26 percent in 2009. As an admissions counselor, I’m looking for an essay to be unique and catch my eye. Don’t fall into the boring trap of writing about a common essay topic. I have no desire to read about your summer internship, your time building latrines in Mexico, or your award-winning

swimming meet. Pick a topic that reflects your humor, compassion, and intellect. 3. Cleanup Your Facebook Account! Nearly a quarter of admissions counselors (24 percent) recently admitted in a Kaplan survey to using Facebook to assess an applicant. The survey stated that the following offenses that could prevent you from admission: essay plagiarism, vulgarities in blogs, and photos showing underage drinking. Make sure your Facebook has the highest privacy settings and your content portrays you in the best light. Better yet, get off Facebook altogether and spend your free time studying for the SAT and working on your college essays. Competition for freshmen class slots is fierce. By following these tips, you can make your dream of attending your first choice college a reality. Alana Albertson is the founder of Academe Advantage (www.AcademeAdvantage.com) and has a masters degree in Education from Harvard University and a bachelors degree in English from Stanford University. Alana provides rare insight as both a successful two-time Ivy League applicant and as a former admissions officer with more than 16 years experience in test preparation and college and graduate school admissions.

Komen 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer in San Diego. The Del Mar Village Association, with support from En Fuego Cantina & Grill, will host the official downtown Del Mar Cheering Station and water distribution center for the walkers. Volunteers, dressed in pink, are needed to help cheer on the walkers and pass out water bottles as they group sweeps through Del Mar between the hours of 7:30 and 9 a.m. on Nov. 18. Event officials are asking for donations of cases of water bottles to be delivered to En Fuego Cantina & Grill any time prior to Thursday, Nov. 17. To add to the festivities, the Torrey Pines High School Cheerleaders, and the Del Mar lifeguards and firefighters will be on hand to cheer on the walkers.

By Diana Weiss-Wisdom, Ph.D. Dear Dr. Diana, This will be the first holiday season since my divorce. My ex-wife and I have two small children together. We’ve had a pretty good divorce as these things go. We definitely get along better now than we did before. We had decided that we would spend this first Christmas together as a family with the kids. Meanwhile, four months ago, I started dating a young lady and I like her a lot. She wants me to go on an annual ski trip with her family during the holidays. I’m torn because I don’t want to mess up this new relationship. I really care about this woman but I really want to spend Christmas with my family. She is now concerned that I am not really over my marriage and that I may still have feelings for my ex-wife. I don’t know how to reassure her and even what’s the right thing to do.

Holidays post divorce ly tells. Now, with the first holiday season approaching in your new life you have come to an important cross road. Dr. Diana The path that Weiss-Wisdom you now chose is a very important one. Let’s think take an inventory of the risks versus the rewards. Risk #1 Your Ex and you might fight in front of the kids? Risk #2: You may think that the kids will be happy but it might have the opposite effect. It may instill false hope in them that their parents are getting back together

or bring up sadness that the family is no longer together. Risk #3: More subtle risks include: will it make it more difficult for you or your ex-wife to continue to move on. Or will it reignite hopes for how to make it work again? And is that realistic? While you may think it would be a wonderful thing to have the previous family experience around the holidays, you must be keenly aware that it’s not that simple. A little bit like humpty dumpty, who fell off the wall, rarely, if ever, can all the pieces be put back together again. I don’t want to discourage you from your idealism, but to encourage you be realistic, as well. If you ever saw the movie called “It’s Complicated” where Meryl Streep’s character’s ex-hus-

band, Alex Baldwin, tries to recreate movie night with the kids just like they had years ago when they were together. The kids loved it at the time and began wondering if their parents were going to get back together. Before long, the children found themselves saddened and remembered how painful the breakup of their family was for them. In your post divorce coparenting role with your exspouse, the emphasis is on the wellbeing of the kids. Your new girlfriend will need to understand and respect your priorities.

— Newly divorced gent Dear Gent, It’s natural in a fresh divorce to want to keep traditions alive that were part of the family when it was intact.

Balance screenings offered at RSF Senior Center Your Family Matters: Helping friends over the holidays BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 8 million American adults report having a chronic problem with balance. Additionally, 2.4 million American Terrie Litwin adults report having a chronic problem with dizziness. Having good balance means being able to control and maintain your body’s position, whether moving or remaining still. A good sense of balance allows you to walk without staggering, get up from a chair without falling and climb stairs without tripping. Having good balance is important in carrying out daily activities. Losing balance is a serious problem for older adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that, each year, more than one third of people over 65 years of age suffer a fall. Falls are the leading cause of injury deaths among older adults. Falls can also lead to non fatal but debilitating injuries such as hip fractures which often result in limitations on activities and loss of independence. Proper balance depends upon three senses – vision, sense of spacial orientation, and the vestibular system of the inner ear. Each of these senses diminishes with age, making balance more difficult. Unfortunately, fear of falling often leads seniors to become less active when, in fact, becoming more active can help reduce risk. Scientists are working to understand the complex interactions between the brain and the part of the inner ear responsible for balance. They are also studying the effectiveness of certain exercises as a treatment option for balance disorders. There are many possible causes of balance problems. Sometimes they are a sign of other health problems, therefore, it is important to have a potential balance disorder diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. On Wednesday, Nov.

16, from 2-4 p.m., licensed physical therapist Jim Prussack will conduct individual balance screenings and offer personalized recommendations to assist you in improving your balance and lowering your risk of falling. Please call the Senior Center at (858)756-3041 to schedule your appointment. Protect Yourself from Scams It is estimated that there are 1,000,000 cases of older adult financial fraud and exploitation in the U.S. each year, with only one in four cases actually reported. Seniors average one “scam type� letter and two telemarketing calls each week. Considering the increasing numbers of seniors and the growing number of scams, the potential for abuse is staggering. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, seniors are often targeted for fraud for several reasons. Older Americans are more likely to have a “nest egg,� own their home, or have an excellent credit rating. Scam artists focus their efforts on the group of people most likely to be in a position to purchase something. Another factor making seniors an attractive target is that they are less likely to report a suspected fraud either because they do not know where to report it or because they are embarrassed to have been taken advantage of. Also, older adults are less likely to remember details of interactions and may not be able to supply enough information to authorities to assist with identifying and prosecuting the perpetrator. Complicating this is the fact that often, victims do not know for weeks or even months that they have been victimized making remembering details more difficult. The best way to avoid becoming a victim of fraud is to be alert to potential crimes so that you can learn how to protect yourself. Please join us at the Senior Center on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 2 p.m., for “Shams, Scams & Schemes�, presented by Matt Wellhouser, Chief, Rancho Santa Fe Patrol.

BY DR. KEITH KANNER Here come the Holidays. For some, this is the favorite time of the year, but for others, just the opposite. The concept of “loss� seems to be a consistent element here which makes the Holidays not so joyous for some, especially if they experienced a loss or misfortune some time over this past year. The loss of a loved one, a divorce, or a significant change in one’s health, school or occupational status can cause feelings of shock, despair, sadness, or even depression. For any individual going through one of these possible conditions, the festivities of the season may intensify strong uncomfortable feelings. For these individuals, spending time with loved ones, friends, and trying to find activities to help them feel better are important, but not typically initiated by the individual for they feel so terrible. This is where the role of close friends can save lives. But, most friends are uncertain as how to best help that friend in need. However, for most people, young and old, going through a rough patch with the warmth of a friend can be very comforting and helpful. Inviting a friend in need over for a holiday celebration, trying to spend some special time together, and even buying them a special and meaningful gift can help someone

need cope better with a recent setback. What about getting them to talk to you? Well, that depends. It is important to consider that children and adults are in different developmental and psychological states and will manage losses differently. Although the feelings are the same, the capacity to tolerate those feelings are different. Understandably, adults are more mature and typically will be able to talk about their feelings more readily, while children experiencing loss are usually trying to forget about the issue in order to continue to cope. In other words, it will take children much longer to talk about their loss experiences than adults and kids should NOT be pushed to do so. They will open up when ready as long as they are in a supportive and loving environment. Once the door of communication is open, however, here is what to do. Be sympathetic and listen non-

judgmentally to your friend. Be supportive and encouraging. Offer to help them if they need the help but, make them do it if they can. Spend time with them and, if appropriate, include them in your Holiday plans but don’t push it. Don’t let they over drink. This will only make them depressed. Expect inconsistencies in your friend’s thoughts and feelings. Confusion, memory problems, mood swings, irritability, sadness, crying, anger, and even laughter are all expected from friend who has a loss reaction during the holidays. Finally, their loss might bring up your experience of losses, as well. This may be sad, but it further allows you to be more mentally present for your friend in need. Always remember, the Holidays are about love, family, and friends.

Lux Art Institute welcomes next Create personalized holiday resident artist Emilio Perez centerpieces at SB gallery Lux Art Institute, San Diego’s first LEED certified interactive art destination, will welcome New York painter Emilio Perez as the next resident artist of the 2011/2012 Season. From Nov. 10 through Dec. 10, Perez will be living and working at Lux Emilio Perez and a as he creates a large- sample of his work scale triptych, the in- (right). spiration for which will come from proximity to the Pacific Ocean, as well as his anticipated experiences surfing some of San Diego’s most distinct breaks. Visitors can “see art happen” while he is in studio and view his show, featuring examples of his painting, through Dec. 31. Vibrant, textured and bursting with a calculated chaos, Perez’s dynamic works also evince sculpture. The artist’s unique process entails painting sheets of latex and acrylic in different hues onto wood panels and then, using an x-acto blade, slicing away at and removing layers, revealing tracts of muted colors underneath. The canvases juxtapose freeform movement with labor-intensive, measured actions, simultaneously evoking upheaval and harmony, spontaneity and control. Dizzying, vertiginous patterns, roiling swirls, undulating lines and tornado-like vortices are interwoven with short, staccato breaks. They build up and collide into one

another with a force that creates a physical and psychological phenomenon wherein the eye attempts to fill in for what is not actually there. Born in New York, raised in Miami, and currently living and working in Brooklyn, Perez received his BFA from the University of Florida’s New World School of the Arts. His most recent solo exhibitions have taken place at CTRL Gallery in Houston, TX, Galerie Lelong in New York City and FILIALE in Berlin. He has been featured in group exhibitions both nationally and internationally: from Dusseldorf, Milan, Tel Aviv and Toronto, to Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston and St. Louis. His works can be found in the permanent collections of the Miami Art Museum, Fla; the Albright Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY; the Arkansas Art Center in Little Rock; and in corporate collections throughout the United States. Lux Art Institute is located at 1550 South El Camino Real in Encinitas, Calif. Hours are Thursday and Friday, 1 to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and cost is $10 for two visits.

Horizon Prep Spirit Bowl

T

he view from the sidelines of the Spirit Bowl might be a bit confusing: At first glance, it might just look like an 8-Team Flag Football Tournament. But if you look a little deeper and listen a little longer, you’ll see and hear the spirit of Spirit Bowl — the spirit of giving and faith. In the past seven years, Spirit Bowl has raised over $17,300 for Camp Julian Oaks — an outreach to children and teens that have been removed from their homes for abuse or neglect. Stormy weather did nothing to dampen the spirit of Horizon Prep’s Spirit Bowl 2011. Eight teams from around San Diego battled in the rain, wind and mud all for a good cause. Participating schools were Calvary Christian, Foothills Christian, Horizon Prep, The Nativity School, St. James Academy, St. Joseph, Santa Fe Christian and The Grauer School. In the end, The Nativity School prevailed.

Gudi’s Aromatherapy offers a variety of aromatic remedies, care products and more BY DIANE Y. WELCH For 12 years Gudi Rubbo and her husband, Philip, have been blending aromatic remedies that ease ailments the natural way. They also formulate skin care products and fragrances that contain tried and trusted essential oils, long used in European countries. Both are certified aromatherapists who create body and facial care products, first aid treatments, respiratory and muscoskeletal remedies, and environmental fragrancing. With winter season fast approaching so is cold season. According to the couple, Gudi’s Aromatherapy can help stave off colds by boasting the immune system, and can also provide relief for cold and flu symptoms when viruses take hold. Upper respiratory problems like blocked sinuses may be treated with an inhaler that comprises a blend of hyssop, tea tree, lemon and birch, which aids to loosen up mucus, causing it to drain. “Thereby clearing your air passages so you can again breathe freely,� Gudi explained. For chest complaints, lavender —an aid in muscle relaxation — blended with hyssop helps relieve bronchial spasms and eases sore throats. It is a blend that also alleviates ear pain related to congestion, she said. Gudi’s products never contain manmade chemicals or synthetic preservatives and are based on European blending techniques that have been handed down through many generations. “I grew up in Europe where we do not separate between healthcare and natural health. This is what we do to take care of our bodies. It is not uncommon for the doctor to write a prescription which contains essential oils that the pharmacist will then mix up for you,� said Gudi, a native of Vienna. “This is what sets us a part from aromatherapy in America.� Musculoskeletal remedies for sore muscles, tendons, or joints, combat inflammation, stiffness and pain. Blended from eucalyptus, lavender and peppermint, these remedies strengthen tissues and provide pain relief management.

Skin care products focus on hydration. For cleansing, glycerin soaps are gentle, non-drying and free of chemicals. Witch hazel is used to tone and tighten the skin. And a nourishing facial skin serum – with an organic aloe vera base – helps lock in moisture. Aloe vera penetrates the skin four times faster than water, so it is an optimum vehicle to get nutrients into the skin, Gudi explained. Chamomile, jasmine and geranium add fragrance while frankincense helps rebuild healthy skin cells. Antioxidants, such as evening primrose, rose hip and jojoba oil, are blended as an aid to the skin’s defenses and cell regeneration. Gudi’s Aromatherapy was founded in 1999. The Rubbos initially formulated blends for their own use and to help friends and family. “When we realized that these remedies are beneficial for so many people in our area, we decided to make them available in our neighborhood,� said Gudi. For the Holiday Season, Gudi will create individual gift baskets for customers. “You may pick and choose what you want to include, we arrange the products in a basket and add a complimentary ornament. Then we can deliver it to your family and friends,� she said. Customers may meet Gudi and Philip Rubbo at the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club’s Sassy Santa event, to be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m., on Friday, Nov. 18, and again from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Nov. 19. They will also be appearing at the Encinitas Street Fair on Nov. 20. They may be found each Saturday and Sunday at the Seaside Bazaar in downtown Encinitas.

Week in Sports

The champion Canyon Crest Academy boys’ water polo team.

Canyon Crest Water Polo 2011 Valley League Champions! The Canyon Crest Academy boys’ water polo team clinched their 3rd consecutive Valley League championship with victories over Valley Center and San Dieguito Academy last week. The Ravens also wrapped up their second consecutive season going undefeated in league play, a remarkable accomplishment for a program only six years old. On Thursday against Valley Center at Cathedral Catholic High School, the Ravens got off to a slow start and trailed at halftime before three goals by senior Matteo LanzaBilleta and a crucial last-minute save by senior Jeffrey Elsner led the Ravens to a 5-4 victory, all but securing the Ravens’ league title. They finished the job on Saturday with a 12-1 victory over San Dieguito Academy at Del Norte High School, in which juniors John and Jerry Guess and senior Matteo Lanza-Billeta each contributed three goals and sophomore Kyle Grozen added five assists. With the regular season completed and a championship secured, the team is now

focused on the CIF Division II playoffs, beginning this week with games across San Diego County. With the talent in the division more balanced than ever before, Canyon Crest is looking to make a big statement in this year’s tournament. “A league championship is great, and it marks a goal off of our list,� said junior John Guess, “but now we’re determined to reach our next one: CIF finals.� Reaching the championship game (to be played Nov. 19 at La Jolla High School) might be considered a lofty goal for a program that has never advanced past the second round, but CCA’s players are determined, focused, and ready to fight for an opportunity more reachable than ever. “If we work as a team and play the type of game we’re capable of, there’s no reason we can’t go all the way,� said senior captain and goalie Jeffrey Elsner. Canyon Crest opens the CIF division II playoffs with a home game on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at Cathedral Catholic High School.

BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: Cathedral Catholic was finally involved in a competitive game, but that’s only by the unreasonably high standards the Dons have set in recent weeks. The Dons extended their winning streak to six games with a 26-9 Eastern League victory over Mira Mesa on Nov. 4. The margin of victory was the narrowest Dons have had during their winning streak, which started after their most lopsided loss in at least five years, a 48-14 nonleague pasting at the hands of Helix on Sept. 16. The Dons have outscored their opponents 170-19 over their last six games. Their next closest game was a 26-7 victory over Eastlake on Sept. 30. J.J. Stavola led the Dons, rushing for 176 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries Dons quarterback Garrett Bogart completed 7 of 18 pass attempts for 107 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Kyle Davis led the Dons defensively with 11 tackles and 2 ½ sacks, and Russell Reeder had 11 tackles. After a scoreless first quarter, the Dons opened up a 19-0 lead in the second quarter on two Stavola scoring runs – both from the 1 – and 47-yard scoring pass from Bogart to Riley Sanchez. The Don broke the game open midway through the third quarter, when Xavier Ulutu scored from the 3 to make it 26-3. Mira Mesa scored just the third touchdown the Dons have allowed since the Helix game in the fourth quarter to make it 26-9. The Dons improved to 4-0 in league and 8-1 overall for the season. ***** Santa Fe Christian extended its winning streak to eight games with a resounding 49-7 victory over Parker in a Coastal League game on Nov. 5. After opening the season with a 21-0 nonleague loss to Westview, the Eagles have kicked their offense into high gear, averaging 40.8 points over their last eight games and 49.7 points over their last six games. Eagles quarterback Connor Moore rushed for 87 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries and was 2-for-4 passing for 77 yards and one touchdown. Grant Lucier rushed for 72 yards on five carries and Jarrod Watson-Lewis gained 64 rushing yards on five carries. Blain Weeks had 11 tackles and Nathaniel Fredricks had 10 tackles to lead the Eagles defensively. ***** Torrey Pines lost to Poway 28-9 in a

Falcons water polo team enjoying greater depth BY GIDEON RUBIN Torrey Pines has been a consistent San Diego Section water polo contender for most of the last decade. The Falcons have gone to the Div. I finals three times over that period, and have been to the semifinals in seven of the last nine years. But the feeling within Falcons circles this season is that the program that’s never won a championship is poised to turn the corner. The Falcons served notice winning the nonleague Poway Invitational earlier this season, and have continued gathering momentum ever since. Torrey Pines just completed a 24-5 regular season on Nov. 5 with a 10-8 nonleague victory over Santana. Among the highlights of their season was going 10-0 in a Palomar League championship campaign. And although it wasn’t the Falcons first unbeaten league championship, the way the Falcons got there was different from past years. Whereas the Falcons in recent years have relied on one dominant player to carry them, this year, they’re enjoying greater depth. “I think we have more depth this year than we’ve ever had,” Torrey Pines water polo coach Rob Tilburg said. “We’ve had a couple of guys come through the program who from an individual standpoint are much stronger than some of the guys we have this year, but from a depth standpoint, we’re definitely more well-rounded this year than we maybe ever have been. “I think it makes us more difficult to match up against because you can’t focus on one guy.” The Falcons feature one player who’s on par with some of the standouts the Falcons have featured in recent years. Senior perimeter player Patrick Lenihan, who leads the team averaging nearly four goals, is a prohibitive favorite to win this year’s league MVP award. But with a strong cast of complimentary offensive players, key on Lenihan at your own defensive peril. Senior hole-set Peter Bergum and senior perimeter player Dustin Inada are among a deep group of legitimate offensive threats.

“You have to game-plan for Patrick, he’s our best player, but if you focus too much on him there are many other players out there who can beat you,” Tilburg said. In addition to Bergum and Inada, other players who can beat you are perimeter/utility players Trevor Sauerbrey and Geoff Francis. The Falcons play solid defense too. Junior goalie Layne Moore is averaging over 10 saves. “He’s had some key saves in key moments,” Tilburg said of Moore. “He quarterbacks the defense. He’s the backbone of our defense.” The Falcons have also gotten big contributions from senior 2-meter defender Gus Avarello. “It’s a fun group,” Tilburg said. “I think they’re having a lot of fun and the coaches are having a lot of fun too.” Another factor in the team’s success is experience, with the Falcons led by a seniorheavy nucleus that’s been playing together on the varsity since most were sophomores. “We’ve been playing together now for a few years with mostly the same group and so it’s been a nice culmination,” Tilburg said. A crop of newcomers have contributed too, with sophomore Trevor Colbert perimeter player and sophomore 2-meter defender Zach Applegate making an impact off the bench. Senior reserve hole-set Gabriel Freifeld has made big contributions too, Tilburg said. “The strength and the focus of this team is that we have a lot of depth,” Tilburg said. “We have guys coming off the bench who are contributing and we have a lot of guys who can do a lot of things, so I think that makes us dangerous in quite a few ways. “We can beat you in many different ways.” The Falcons depth has fostered greater camaraderie. “I think it makes them feel like they have a bigger role in the success of the team,” Tilburg said.

Teen Korps calls you to action: Participate in our Feed-a-Family Project! By Yeshe Salz, 15, High Tech High North County On Oct. 15, the Feeding America Warehouse in Mira Mesa was bustling with activity. People of all ages arrived and got to work, dedicating three hours of service to the community as they packed boxes of food for those less fortunate. Among these people were eight representatives from Kids Korps USA’s “Teen Korps” program, each eagerly divided into assembly lines and boxing stations to put their efforts into the operation. The atmosphere was invigorating as everyone pitched in to get projects done. In one corner of the warehouse, a group focused on boxing and taping packages of food which would go out to homeless shelters. In another corner, people formed an assembly line to supply lunch bags with healthy treats to go home with children over the weekend. Volunteers ages 7 to 70 were present and excited to be making a difference in the community. This is just one of many volunteer packing days at the Feeding America San Diego warehouse, and the operation is still in need of more contributors in order to meet the holiday demands. Feeding America is constantly searching for ways to collect more food which they can send out into the community. It is with this cause in mind that Kids Korps USA has launched the Feed-a-Family Project, a large-scale food drive for families throughout San Diego County.

The play is directed by Richard Seer, and is a co-production of The Old Globe/University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program. Seer, an award-winning director and actor, has been the Director of The Old Globe/ University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program since 1993. He received his M.F.A. in directing from Boston University, where he was awarded the prestigious Kahn Directing Award in 1985. Seer has directed or appeared in more than 70 productions at regional theaters in this country and Great Britain. He originated the role of Young Charlie in the 1978 Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Hugh Leonard’s “Da” and received the Theatre World Award for his performance. Plays included in his direction at the Globe are “Life of Riley,” “The Last Romance,” “The Price,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” “Trying,” “Fiction,” “Blue/Orange,” “All My Sons,” “Da and “Old Wicked Songs.” When choosing a project for the program, Seer said he likes to mix the genres up. “I like to do a comedy when I’ve just done a drama, etc. I chose ‘Twelfth Night’ for this production because we try to select plays that are not in competition with what The Globe is presenting. Also, I consider this one of Shakespeare’s best plays,” he said. The comedy is about a shipwreck on the rocky coast of India where Viola (Allison Spratt Pearce) disguises herself as a man to be safe and find a job. She ends up as a page in the court working and falling for Duke Orsino (Christopher Salazar). He, however, has his sights on the beautiful Olivia (Deborah Radloff), who in turn becomes infatuated with the new man in court who is really Viola in disguise. If that’s not enough amusement, there are plenty of laughs when servant Malvolio (Jonathan Spivey) gets tricked by Maria (Rachael Jenison) and Sir Toby Belch (Adam Daveline). This all causes delicious havoc throughout the house. Seer is very familiar with the play; he’s acted in it several times and directed it twice. But he had his own take on this version that the students perform. A fan of David Lean’s films (“Bridge on the River Kwai,” “Lawrence of Arabia”) Seer said he really liked “A Passage to India.” “In re-reading ‘Twelfth Night,’ I thought,

There are — what was presumed back then as — the uptight Brits meeting face to face with a country that embraces the Kama Sutra and has a more sensual feel to it. This is very right for what happens in ‘Twelfth Night.’ ” With a youthful cast and tickets at reasonable prices, Seer believes it’s a great time to get younger family members interested in live theatre. Seer explained the cast is professional and many performed with the summer repertory company that has become The Globe’s junior company. He auditions hundreds of students interested in classical work from around the country for the program, but takes only about seven a year. “This is their opportunity to come to the Globe and play the leads,” Seer said, “and the Globe audience will recognize a lot of these actors from the outdoor stages. I also think this is a very funny play and the audience will have fun with it and the subplot, but also the sweetness of the romance. Especially with a young cast who are all the right ages for those characters.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

De Anza DAR dedicated historical marker On Oct. 8, De Anza Chapter DAR members dedicated a large bronze plaque at the historic home and medical office of Sophronia Nichols, MD, in Alpine, the site of the John DeWitt Museum and Library. About 75 people attended, many of them in 1890s costumes. The San Diego Chapter Sons of the American Revolution served at the Color Guard, led in by Commander Will Tisch on the bagpipes as Vice Commander Ernie McCullough called the cadence. They were dressed in blue Continental Line uniforms with buff facings, waistcoats and breaches; white Clocked stockings; buckled shoes and tri-corn hats. Their accouterments included haversacks, cartridge boxes and swords; two squad members carried Brown Bess muskets. After the ceremony, Commander Tisch played Taps on his bugle, followed by Reverend Dr. Stan Delong and Philip Hinshaw firing a musket salute. Commander Tisch called the Salute: Half Cock Hammer, Draw Cartridge, Prime pan, Charge Firelock, Ram Cartridge, Poise Firelocks, Full Cock Hammer, Take Aim: Fire! Donna Sisson captivated the audience with a historical reenactment of the life of Dr. Nichols, her great-great grandmother. She wore an 1890s black taffeta long dress with mutton sleeves, beautiful back treatment and a small black hat with a black feather. With her hair was pulled back severely into a knot, she strongly resembled the museum’s photo of Dr. Nichols. Donna used an old fashioned medical bag as a prop from which she pulled mementos during her speech. She showed a large certified copy of Dr. Nichol’s medical license. De Anza member Nancy Eggert-Boone hosted the event that she coordinated with Carol Morrison, president of the Alpine Historical Society. De Anza Regent Bettybob Williams and Chaplain Martha Gresham conducted the marker dedication ritual. Carol Morrison brought greetings from the Alpine Historical Society. California Society DAR State Treasurer Sharon Meigs brought greetings from State Regent Karon Jarrard and herself. District XVI Director Donna Pearson brought greetings from the district. Resolutions were presented to De Anza Chapter by Lori Brown, representing 36th District State Senator Joel Brown, Gail Ramer, representing 77th State District Assemblyman Brian Jones, and Alpine’s Honorary Mayor, Matt Kraemer. Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians sponsored the event. Refreshments were served before and after the ceremony. Dr. Nichols is a now recognized as a “Significant Woman in History” by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Dr. Nichols was born in 1835 in West Tisbury, Massachusetts. After loosing four newborn children, she enrolled in Boston University Medical School at the age of 39 to learn how to prevent early infant mortality. She graduated in 1874. Dr. Nichols bobbed her hair and smoked in order to be accepted as a physician in a male-dominated profession. She came to the northern California gold rush towns
