Providing The Ranch with Three Decades of Quality Journalism

Volume 31 Number 10

BY JOE TASH A sharply divided water board Nov. 17 approved a 6 percent rate increase as of Jan. 1 for customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. Before approving the rate hike on a 3-2 vote, the panel was twice unable to pass a motion increasing rates on customers next year. Some board members were concerned that a larger increase is needed to maintain district reserves and pay for capital improvement projects, while one board member wanted to avoid any increase. In the end, directors Andy Menshek, Ken Dunford and Michael Hogan voted for the 6 percent increase, while directors Robert “Bud” Irvin and John Ingalls voted “no.” The vote means 2012 is the fifth year in a row that the Santa Fe Irrigation District will have raised rates on its customers, by a total of 68 percent. District officials have said the main reason for the steadily increasing rates is a corresponding jump in the cost of water from the district’s suppliers, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the San Diego County Water Authority. Only two members of the public attended Thursday’s water board meeting, in contrast with a hearing last year — when the panel considered raising rates by up to 36 perSee RATES, page 26

Civics teaches foundation and if you don’t teach it, we are anchorless and we wake up in the morning and don’t know the difference between right and wrong,” Dreyfuss said in an interview after his speech. Through his website, www.thedreyfussinitiative. org and through five years of public speaking, Dreyfuss is leading the charge to bring civics back into the classroom.

Water rates to go up 6 percent in January

By Diane Y. Welch Following rousing applause, the Proscenium Theater auditorium at Canyon Crest Academy High School fell into silence as about 400 county area youths – attendees at TEDxYouth@San Diego – held onto every word that Richard Dreyfuss spoke. His address on the importance of civic education in public schools had clearly struck a chord. An Academy Awardwinning actor, Dreyfuss is the founder of the Dreyfuss Initiative. “You can’t build a house and start with the

in Our Grasp.” Along with Dreyfuss, several presenters and performers convened at CCA on Saturday, Nov. 20 – Universal Children’s Day –for a multi-media presentation that aimed to motivate youth to make a difference in the world. It was a day filled with heartfelt messages, music, art, dance, and technology. TED, an acronym for Technology, Entertainment, Design, is a worldwide conference that brings together achievers in a various fields who share ideas worth spreading.

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board will hear an update in January on plans for the Osuna Ranch — at least one board member feels those plans have stalled. “Way too much time has been spent on what to do with the Osuna,” said board president Jack Queen. “It looks worse today than when we bought it.” The Osuna was purchased in 2006 for $12 million and is home to the historic Osuna Adobe, the Hap Hansen-led horse ranch and a single-family home. Last year the board voted to subdivide the Osuna and sell off the smaller 3.3acre parcel with the single family home. It is estimated the sale could bring in around $2 million, although Covenant Administrator Ivan Holler reported the appraisal process has yet to be completed. Queen said that in addition to selling the house, he’d like to see some real improvements on the property so that it can be a true community asset for the money they spent. A final map has been submitted to the county on the two-lot subdivision, as well as an application for a major use permit, and they are about 60 days away from final approval, Holler said.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Association Buzz: Support the terrific shops and Solana Beach approves final restaurants in the RSF Village this holiday season Highway 101 improvement plan BY RSF ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT JACK QUEEN I hope all of you have had (or will have) a terrific Thanksgiving holiday. As the media has let us Jack Queen all know, Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season and I hope you’ll join me this year in making the Village of Rancho Santa Fe your first stop as you begin your efforts. My plan for a great first shopping day: Start with a tasty cup of coffee and sweet roll at either Caffe Positano or Thyme in the Ranch, take a look at the RSF Review, and ease into the day’s activities. First stop could be the Country Squire Gifts and Linens, and since they have “gifts” in their name, I know you will be able to find some of the perfect items on your gift list. Next stop, a visit to The McNally

Company Antiques to browse among those incredible antiques where you are sure to find a “one-of-akind” gift for that really special person. The newest retailer in the Village is Martin Katz Jewelers, which has a remarkable selection of magnificent jewelry. Cross the street and visit Plume whose numerous choices represent several vendors and consequently offer a nice variety for you to choose from, including wonderful stationary. Now for lunch, delicious choices abound: under the yellow umbrellas at Mille Fleurs, on the patio at the Pantry, maybe back down the street at Delicias, or have lunch at the beautiful historic Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. And since it is the holidays, I’m

going to also suggest a glass of wine or, what the heck, let’s do it up right — champagne! And don’t forget to stop at: Rancho Santa Fe Estate & Fine Jewelry, Celeste’s Boutique, Style Salon In The Ranch, Studio Felando, Browtique Spa, The Country Friends Consignment Shop, the Village Market, Timmons Galleries, RSF Pharmacy, and the RSF Garden Club Upscale Resale Shoppe. Well, most of our day is behind us, you bought all the good stuff for the most important people and you deserve a nice nap this afternoon while dreams of sugar plums and Rancho Santa Fe dance in your head. Happy Thanksgiving!

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET The Solana Beach City Council approved Nov. 16 the final design of the Highway 101 West Side Improvement Project, opening for bid a sweeping revitalization effort that will begin as early as next spring and greatly change the appearance of the 101. The $5 million plan, funded by the city’s San Diego Association of Governments TransNet allocation, will add elements such as continuous sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic-calming features, gathering places and medians that contain foliage. “I’ve been on this council for 20 years and this is something we’ve been dreaming of a long time,” said Councilman Joe Kellejian. “Not only will it change the design and appearance, but it will drastically change the economy too.” The presentation of final plans follows an Aug. 31 special meeting in which direction was provided in council discussion and in public testimony. That direction includes the elimination of reverse-angle parking, the utilization of decorative streetlight and traffic signal poles, and the addition of four new crosswalks. The city also wants to remove all existing newspaper racks and work with providers to relocate and use uniform, decorative racks. The council has also selected tree

grates with the City’s emblem on them, and the number of trees will increase from 32 to 77. Trees will be planted in median areas wider than eight feet, according to the plan. Planners also presented a variety of trees chosen for their low maintenance qualities, from median trees to accent trees. In response to a recommendation from the council, planners are also adding about 12 benches to the final plan. The Highway 101 West Side Improvements Project will include 11 unique gathering areas, each containing their own structural and design features, artwork and seating. Planners also told the council that there will be a 50 percent increase in parking along Highway 101. Solana Beach resident Peter House, who also serves as president of the Highway 101 Village Walk Association, congratulated the council on the plan. “What’s not to like?” he said. Councilman Mike Nichols, a landscape architect who has been working closely with the city’s planning and design team, extended a “thank you” to those involved. “It’s been a good collaboration,” he said. “We appreciate the journey so far and look forward to implementation.”

Scripps Health and Rady Children’s Hospital join forces to offer new weapon in the fight against childhood cancer

R. Roger Rowe kindergarten teacher Jeanne Gibbs retired after 30 years with the district before the start of the school year. The school celebrated her career with a reception on Nov. 18. Staff, former students and their families came to thank her for her time at Rowe. Students were invited to write notes to Gibbs. One note from Kate Bennett read: “Thank you, my brother loved you! And so did I! You rocked!”

Scripps Health and Rady Children’s HospitalSan Diego recently announced they will team up to provide advanced proton treatment at Scripps Proton Therapy Center to pediatric cancer patients who need this highly accurate form of therapy. According to the center’s medical director, Dr.

Carl J. Rossi, Jr., proton therapy is generally preferable to conventional X-ray radiation for pediatric patients. “X-ray radiation continues to play a vital role in treating childhood cancers, but its long-term side effects can be devastating, as growing organs are highly sensitive to radiation,” Rossi said. “Long-term effects can in-

clude growth and hormonal deficiencies and the risk of secondary cancers later in life.” In contrast, the accuracy of proton beams are ideal for pediatric patients and have been successfully used with children for more than

RSF’s Marshall Goldsmith named winner of the ‘2011 Thinkers50 Leadership Award’ Tracking bi-annually the definitive list of the world’s top business thinkers are Londonbased Stuart Crainer and Des Dearlove, founders and directors of Thinkers50, former columnists to The Times (LonMarshall Goldsmith don) and adjunct professors at IE Business School. Over the past decade, the prestigious Thinkers50 ranking has served the global business community by showcasing the top business thinkers on the planet, indicating which thinkers have deservedly been consigned to making business history. Recently in London at the first ever Thinkers50 Summit, internationally-acclaimed executive coach Marshall Goldsmith was named winner of the prestigious

2011 Thinkers50 Leadership Award, additionally ranking #7 on the overall list of Thinkers50 world’s top 50 business thinkers. “Marshall Goldsmith is singularly persuasive, networked, and energetic. In the crowded leadership sphere, he is fixed on changing the practice of leaders for the better rather than the neatness of his theories,” says Thinkers50 co-founder Stuart Crainer. RSF’s Marshall Goldsmith, a world authority on helping successful leaders get even better, is the author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling books “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There” and “Mojo.” He received his Ph.D. from UCLA and teaches executive education at Dartmouth’s Tuck School. Goldsmith blogs for HBR.org, BusinessWeek.com and HuffingtonPost.com. Media sponsor for the Thinkers50 Summit was Harvard Business Review.

torios, George Frideric Handel’s Messiah. Performances have traditionally sold out, so this year they are adding a new venue and bringing their unique performance to the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church. The only performance of Handel’s Messiah by professional musicians in San Diego this holiday season will be performed in three venues on Dec. 8, 9, and 10, each at 7:30 p.m.: Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church in Rancho Bernardo; St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla; and Solana Beach Presbyterian Church in Solana Beach. This year Orchestra Nova will be joined by the SACRA/PROFANA chorus under the direction of Krishan Oberoi. The orchestra’s interpretation is acclaimed for its original 18th-century period approach with their “early instrument” style of playing. Without the heavy vibrato in the instruments and by using smaller and lighter forces, the sound is much closer to the original that Handel envisioned and heard – much clearer text and instrumental color. Great masterpieces of art complement the text sung by the singers, significantly enhancing the performance. Four extraordinarily talented guest artists will be featured as soloists: soprano Megan Weston, countertenor Darryl Taylor, tenor Robert MacNeil and bass-baritone David Marshman.

The Gala Committee of The Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary recently announced its 2012 gala fundraising event — on March 3 at The Grand Del Mar — to the Rancho Santa Fe and greater San Diego communities. Join in an evening of fabulous cuisine, an amazing silent/live auction, the comedy of Dennis Miller, and dancing until midnight all in support of Rady Children’s Hospital, Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders! “This year marks the Unit’s 16th annual event and we are proud to have had it recognized as one of San Diego’s premier social fundraising events. Since 1997, the Rancho Santa Fe Unit has been supporting the mission of Rady Children’s Hospital raising over $7.6 million to fund needed equipment, research, and direct care. Through the commitment and generosity of our sponsors and our attendees, the incomparable Dennis Miller, the tremendous team at the Grand Del Mar, and our devoted Gala committee members, this event promises to be both a night to remember and one which will signal our community’s commitment to supporting Rady Children’s Hospital,” said Cindy Leonard, Auxiliary Unit chairperson. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Rady Children’s Hospital, Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. The mortality rate of childhood cancer and blood disorders is greater than that of any other disease — more than that of asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. Cancer and life-threatening blood disorders such as hemophilia are indiscriminate, affecting children and their families across San Diego County in unfortunately increasing numbers. Sponsorship opportunities still exist for community leaders looking to join the Rancho Santa Fe Unit in hosting this amazing evening. For additional information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact Gala Chairperson Shaunna Kahn, at 760-420-1262. The Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary cordially invites you to join them for a fabulous evening in support of the Peckham Center in their treatment of and fight against childhood cancer and blood disorders. Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and event tickets are tax deduction eligible! Reserve yours now at: www.rcha-rsf.org or by calling 858-414-6296. Find them on Facebook at www. facebook.com/RCHARSFU. This year’s Gala has already received the commitment and generosity of sponsorship from both returning and new sponsors in the community. It is this year after year support that makes a vital difference and the Unit extends its sincere appreciation to those individuals already leading the way: Mr. and Mrs. Leo Spiegel - Henry’s Fund; Mr. and Mrs. Jere Oren, Crest Beverage Company; Mr. & Mrs. Scott Kahn, as well as corporate sponsors Vertical Printing & Graphics, and Ranch & Coast.

Childhelp’s upcoming Holiday boutique benefits abused and neglected children ‘Fantasia’ event set for Dec. 2 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club BY DIANE Y. WELCH The local chapter of Childhelp, a nonprofit organization that supports abused and neglected children, is organizing “Fantasia,” a holiday boutique and luncheon at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. On Friday, Dec. 2, guests may browse the tables of about 24 vendors, each with quality merchandise perfect for gift giving. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. with complimentary bellini cocktails served for the first hour, and luncheon served at noon. The event ends at 3 p.m. “Lovely Holiday gift items will be available for purchase,” said Michelle Teran, board member and publicity chair. “Everything from olive oil to sunglasses, to purses and everything in between,” she added. Teran has been a volunteer with Childhelp for 10 years, initially serving as the communications officer. In addition to shopping there will be opportunity drawings and a silent auction. Included are sport packages; Del Mar Race Track tickets; a limo ride package; a Cohn Restaurant gift certificate; a children’s photography session with Leslie Hoffman plus a

complimentary portrait print; skin and body care products; and lots more. A live auction emceed by Scott Chodorow, a teacher at Torrey Pines High School, kicks off at noon. Teran anticipates that hot bidding items will be two in-home dinners served by local firemen at a Rancho Santa Fe estate home and an Olivenhain home, donated by members. The luncheon is a major fundraiser for Childhelp, with 20 percent of all of the proceeds going back to the charity. Funds benefit the residential treatment services offered through the Merv Griffin Childhelp Village, and The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline, 1-800-4-ACHILD, which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This year the San Diego chapter celebrates its 25th anniversary. The chapter helps fiscally sustain the village which houses up to 90 children and sits on 121 acres in Beaumont, Calif. One of its most successful programs is the special friends program. Childhelp members are matched with a child and asked to visit them a minimum of three times a year. This includes a Christmas program, Special Friends Day, and the child’s birthday. These relationships can be short or long lived. In the case of former San Diego chapter presi-

dent, Laureen Bolstad, who befriended a teenager – Ashley – the relationship spanned several years. Bolstad saw first-hand the instability in Ashley’s life and how she was moved from foster home to foster home. Bolsted supported Ashley, financially and emotionally, liaising with social workers who helped Ashley make critical decisions about her future, said Bolsted. Ashley’s story has ended in success as she is now a young adult enrolled in culinary school and looking toward a brighter future. Childhelp was founded in 1959 by Sara O’Meara and Yvonne Fedderson, two actresses from the “Ozzie and Harriet Show” who were performing USO shows in Japan. When they realized that the streets were the home of the Eurasian children that no one wanted, they began a quest to save and protect them. As time went on, their focus changed to the United States where five children a day die from child abuse. At the Fantasia event, Rancho Santa Fe resident Andrea Naversen will attend and will be honored with a “Love of a Child Award.” Event tickets are $95 each. Included in the price is luncheon and beverages. Contact Jeanette Arthur at purplemej@mail. com to purchase tickets in advance of the date.

Jeff Jensen

Profile

Retired entrepreneur launches nonprofit to build donor base for children’s charities in poor countries through Facebook BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN For early-retired entrepreneur Jeff Jensen, with all due respect to the song, it’s Africa, not Georgia, on his mind, and increasingly so since he journeyed to Africa a year ago to check out struggling child-rescue charities in Uganda. On the plane returning home, Jensen decided “I’ve got to do something to help.” As a result, the 51-year-old father of three has launched a unique child sponsorship nonprofit called “edopt.net”. Its mission is to help small international charities, that are caring for kids, but don’t have a mechanism for raising a donor base, find donors for their children through Facebook. “A donor can go to edopt.net and research these charities and then click on ‘children’ and see some of the kids that they

are caring for. Then click on a child’s picture and learn about the child. If you decide to support a child, you can click on ‘support’ and you’re connected to PayPal to make a donation. “That way, every dollar you give goes directly to the organization that’s caring for your child and Facebook becomes your window to the world of your sponsored child,” Jensen says. “We are a ‘connections agency’ of sorts,” Jensen explains on his Website. “We are a self-funded 501c3. We do not receive or charge money for our services. So our only agenda is connecting people who have with those in need.” We interviewed Jensen in his home in Rancho Santa Fe. He’s a tall and trim early-retiree who runs 25 miles a week, enjoys riding

his dirt bike, and occasionally goes pheasant hunting. “Since I sold my company and moved to Rancho Santa Fe,” Jensen said, “I’ve spent the last eight to 10 years, working in the community as a coach and Scoutmaster. Both of my sons were Eagle Scouts. Now that my kids are getting older, I’ve been trying to figure out what I was going to do next, something hopefully for the greater good.” A year ago, a friend of his invited Jensen to accompany him to Uganda to visit a school his friend is working with in Northern Uganda that rescues exchild soldiers. “I saw these really cool charities in Uganda that were all caring for kids one way or another. The one common theme was that they were all struggling to raise support. But while they’re in country doing their thing, they don’t have a presence in the United States and they don’t have a mechanism to create a donor base. “I decided to start an organization that in essence would run a sponsorship program for these little charities…and create a more personal sponsor/ child relationship. “That way, if your sponsored child has a birthday, you can go on Facebook and send a birthday greeting, and then go in real time and see the birthday party,” Jensen said. “Or if a storm comes in and blows off the roof, there’s whole support base that would be in place to help.” Jensen was born in Spokane, Washington, at Fairchild Air Force Base, where his physician father was stationed in the military. The family later moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. While in high school, Jensen became a bornagain Christian “and my faith became the guiding principle in my life.” After earning a degree in accounting from Arizona

Jeff Jensen and his daughter, Caroline, 15, in Africa this past July, with two African girls rescued from child prostitution by edopt.net’s Gwagala Project. State in 1982, he joined Great Plains Software, a micro accounting software company started by a boyhood friend, in Fargo, North Dakota. “I was his 23rd employee,” Jensen recalls. He stayed for two years before returning to Minneapolis and setting up shop as a consultant to companies wanting to computerize their accounting systems. “From there….I ended up starting a computer packaging company, SMT, (Surface Mount Taping), in Austin, Texas. We prepared chips to go on circuit boards. It was a weird little niche in the semiconductor industry. I opened up factories in Singapore and Malaysia and five cities in the U.S.” Asked if his aim, when he became an entrepreneur, was to become wealthy, he said: “No. Money was never my motivation. Controlling my time was. I cannot be told what to do. It’s one of my personality ‘maybe’ strengths, but also flaws. “I quickly realized you should be able to make as much on your own as you would at a job and anything beyond that is gravy.” He sold SMT in 1998

when he was 38 and retired to Rancho Santa Fe. So far, since launching edopt.net this year, Jensen has signed up his first charity, the Kwagala Project, a recovery program, started on a shoestring in 2009 by Chicago mom Kristen Hendricks, for girls and young women in Kampala and Gulu, Uganda, who are victims of child prostitution. The Kwagala Project provides basic support for recovery and a new life through a vocational school/ drop-in center, school scholarships and rehabilitative housing with the goal of seeing each girl through high school, assisting her in finding a job, or in continuing her formal education. Kwagala says some of the girls were sold into prostitution by their families or guardians; others were abducted by Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) insurgents and taken as “child brides”; and still others were orphan victims of genocide with little means of survival other than prostitution. Jensen revisited the Kwagala Project this past summer with his 15-yearold daughter, Caroline, a Torrey Pines High School student, and one of her

friends. “She was totally blown away by these young girls who have been rescued,” Jensen said. “What I’m trying to figure out is how to connect high school students with these organizations.” Edopt.net has set itself the task of conducting comprehensive reviews of charities it plans to feature on its Website, and vetting them on a basis of character, competency and capacity for stewarding donations for the benefit of children. He plans to visit Kenya and Ethiopia after Thanksgiving with his oldest son, Cory, 22, to interview other child-help organizations that may be added to the edopt list of charities. “My goal right now is to get five or six additional charities so that when people come to edopt, they can see a variety of organizations — hopefully they’ll see an organization and a child they’ll support.” “Africa is just where I happened to start,” he said. He also plans to expand to other areas. “I’m talking to a rescue charity in Fiji right now.” For more information on edopt, visit its Website: www.edopt.net

TPHS computer lounge supports online learning program BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School has a new computer lounge for students taking online courses, thanks to a partnership between the San Dieguito Union High School District and the Torrey Pines High School Foundation. The school, district and foundation celebrated their new addition to campus with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 16. “We had two traditional classrooms in need of repair,” said principal Brett Killeen of the space off the wing of the library/media center building. “The district came to us with an idea of a 21st century learning environment.” The foundation funded the purchase of 30 new laptop computers, and the district helped modify the room and purchased the new furniture, Calypso projector and communication system. “It’s a classic joint project between the foundation and the district and I’m excited about the benefits for students and staff,” Killeen said. Interest in Torrey Pines’ ISOL (Independent Study Online Learning) program is “exploding,” Killeen said, noting that 400 students have signed up to take an online class this year. ISOL is offered in courses of English, history, government/economics, math and science, and can help a student retake a class if they did not receive a passing grade or for enrichment. Students taking online classes for enrichment are eligible as long as they are enrolled in at least two traditional campus classes each

day. Students follow all independent study regulations, including having exams proctored on campus. Bridget Bergman, a sophomore, is taking four classes online this year. “It will allow me to focus on what I really want to take by senior year,” said Bridget, who listed physics and math as her favorite subjects.

Fellow sophomore Matt Paddock is taking just one class online. “I really felt I should get ahead,” he said. The new ISOL lounge features the 30 laptops, a row of desktop computers, nice wood tables and chairs, as well as cozy sofa chairs. “The kids are enjoying it,” Killeen said of the room, which stu-

rich environment,” Killeen said. Killeen added that he was “incredibly thankful” for the support of San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Ken Noah and his staff, the foundation (particularly executive director Bobbi Karlson and Terry Walter), and ISOL teachers Don Hollins and Mike Montgomery.

BY JOHN KOLACZ The violins came to life as the bows were drawn across the strings. Softly at first, the notes barely audible, like a whisper shared between friends. Then cellos and bass instruments began pushing the mood until the entire orchestra joined in full force. And so began Torrey Pines High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall Concert on Nov. 14. The evening featured Torrey Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two orchestras and the jazz band, all of whom are gearing up for the coming competition season. Following the Intermediate Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening four instrumentals, the Advanced Orchestra delivered two exceptionally technical classical songs and a big bandstyle swing number, completely showcasing the full range of talent assembled on stage. Finally, the acclaimed Jazz Band completed the concert with six loud, brassy, energetic numbers that had the crowd on their feet at the end. Music director Amy Willcox said after the show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great start to the year!â&#x20AC;? while beaming with pride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to take these guys to New Orleans!â&#x20AC;? she remarked about plans to take the Jazz Band to the New Orleans Jazz Festival and competition in Spring 2012. In attendance were many members of

Jazz Band saxophones locked in on the groove: L-R Charlie Yang, Kurtis Shaffer, Francisco Jo, Felix Lee, Victor Hakim the community, including music students and teachers from area elementary and middle schools. The event showcased what many students will be joining upon moving into high school and was a great display of what the strength of instruction in the middle and elementary schools is capable of producing. Next up for the music program at Torrey Pines is a private party that the Jazz Band has been booked for, followed by a public appearance to play at the Del Mar Holiday Wonderland event on Dec. 4.

Shelly Taskin, program coordinator of UCSD’s International Center, celebrates Thanksgiving with her family. This year two students from other countries will join them. PHOTO: UCSD

International students get a taste of Thanksgiving Area families reach out to share traditions BY KATHY DAY For years families have invited servicemen and women into their homes for the holidays. This year, many are playing host to international students from UCSD. For the first time, the university is reaching out to their many students from other nations to show how Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. As of press time, about 30 families have volunteered to host nearly 70 students. Among the families are Pati and Jeff Brady, who are planning to add six students to their already large gathering, Jeff Brady said. With family, including their four children who range from 9 to 17 years old, and friends, he said, “adding a few more is not a problem.” Pati, who is a family practitioner at UCSD and is Brazilian, received an email sent by campus officials inviting volunteer hosts to raise their hands, with the idea that it would

be a good way to introduce the students to American Thanksgiving. As of last week, the students who have accepted their invitation are from Korea, Japan and China. They were awaiting RSVPs from three others. They’ll serve a traditional holiday repast, with a twist of turkey cooked on the grill, Jeff said. “I’ve had good luck doing that and it frees up the oven for other things.” Lucy and Steve Eskeland of Del Mar will also share their traditional feast with four students. The first to respond are from Taiwan and Sri Lanka, said Lucy, who was an international student herself. She used to work on campus as a post graduation researcher and now writes science books for children; her husband is a dentist whose office is on Regents Park Row near the east side of the UCSD campus. Their gathering will be a more intimate one, Lucy said, with just the couple, their son and the visiting students. “We have hosted students in the past,” she added, but as part of an-

other program. Shelly Taskin, program coordinator for UCSD’s International Center, said in a press release the program “is a wonderful opportunity for both international students and host family members to learn more about each other’s cultures and foster new friendships.” The campus, which had nearly 1,200 new international students go through orientation in the fall, is among the top 4 percent of American universities hosting students from other countries. Currently there are nearly 2,000 students and 2,220 scholars from almost 90 countries on campus. “These students help broaden the diversity of the campus, but they also bring funds to the university in tough economic times,” said Lynn Anderson, dean of International Education at UCSD. The UCSD website estimates Californians who attend UCSD should budget about $30,000 for fees, books, room and board and other living expenses. On top of that, international students pay another $22,878 in tuition.

RSF Big Band’s upcoming Holiday Concert to feature music of the Holidays, tribute to Pearl Harbor’s 70th anniversary/war years The 17-piece Rancho Santa Fe Big Band’s Holiday Concert will be held on Sunday evening, Dec. 11, from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Village Church Fellowship Hall on Paseo Delicious. Under the direction of Professor Jack Wheaton, with Dom and Marie Addario producing the event, the pops-like concert will feature holiday swing favorites, and also celebrate the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Pearl Harbor which took place on Dec. 7, 1941, the day the United States entered World War II. The music of the war years from 1941-45, born of passion, romance, sentimentality and bravado, told a story of a world in peril, of families torn apart, lovers lost but not forgotten, bravery, and patriotism with tunes like: I’ll Never Smile Again, American Patrol, The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B, I’ll Be Seeing You, Moonlight Serenade, A Train, Sentimental Journey, I Thought About You, Let’s

Dance, and more. It’s a concert not to be missed — seeped in history, nostalgia, holiday magic and just pure swinging fun. The Big Band with the finest swing musicians around, plays the original big band arrangements of the ‘40s. Its mission since its inception 11 years ago is to keep Swing, this all-American art form alive and accessible. The Pops-like indoor setting where you bring your own wine and appetizers, gather with your friends and family for an evening of big band swing music promises to be another sell-out. Call Marie Addario at 858-756-4542 for table reservations. Individual tickets may also be purchased at the Rancho Santa Fe Association Office beginning Nov. 1. The cost is $45 per ticket. Check out the Rancho Santa Fe Big Band’s web site for more information: www.rsfbb.com and reserve early for this fabulous event.

CONFERENCE continued from page 1 Diego mirrors that vision with a mission to inspire and be a catalyst for change. This event – the first ever organized in San Diego County and one of 43 such events planned worldwide – was streamed live online. The program was youthdriven and organized by volunteer students paired with volunteer adult mentors. It brought together some of the “most inspiring, creative and entertaining public speakers in the country.” Brian Doyle, a recent CCA graduate now attending George Washington University, led a team of 20 students who made the program possible. He said it took a year to organize the event which included seeking funding. Major sponsors were Sharp Health Care, Qualcomm, The Leichtag Family Foundation, and Mission Federal Credit Union, along with Jimbo’s... Naturally!, The Hilton Garden Inn, Cox Communications, and others. Doyle also helped secure the event presenters who were introduced by CCA graduate Maia Ferdman and CCA junior Hunter

Barrera. Included in the line-up was Patrick Ivison, 17, a Scripps Ranch High School student, who spoke of his passion for surfing and urged others to “dream big” and to focus on their abilities. At the age of 3, Patrick was the victim of an accident that caused him physical disabilities and an inability to walk. Now he is the first disabled member of the Lost Surf Team, appearing on several television shows, including MTV and the Today Show. “Sometimes kids get caught up in material things, but there are things more important in life. Those [material] things can easily go away, but the human spirit and your attitude is something that will be with you, forever,” he said. Visiting from Redmond, Wash., pianist Adrianna Svitak, 15, performed Schumann’s “Traumes Wirren,” after her sister, Adora Svitak, 14, gave an entertaining speech about the power of words. When viewed through a different lens words that may limit us may be used instead to become a catalyst to success, Adora said. “‘Naive’ and ‘impulsive’ can actually be used as

John Prentice Arnold 1941 – 2011 John Prentice Arnold passed away on November 3, 2011, at home in Rancho Santa Fe, California, surrounded by his family, after battling cancer for several years. John was born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1941 where he attended Maumee Valley Country Day School. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in economics, earned his

underprivileged children in San Diego and Baja California. He was a man with many interests. He traveled extensively with his family, and loved hiking, sailing, scuba diving, biking and gardening. John was a man of great integrity. He is loved by many and will be truly missed by all. John is survived by his wife, Janet; son, John Lloyd “JJ”; daughter, Cynthia (Michael) Pribil; grandchildren, Michaella and Gavin Pribil; brother, Timothy (Elizabeth) Arnold; nephew, Daniel; nieces, Elizabeth and Angela; and numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Ellen. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Anyone wishing to remember John may make a contribution to the USO or the Salvation Army.

During the intermission, Stum engaged some of those present in an interactive chalk painting. Entrepreneur Jason O’Neill, 15, founder of Pencil Bugs when he was age 9, asked the audience to simply “Try Your Ideas,” and Alec Loorz, founder of Kids vs Global Warming, spoke with passion about saving the planet for future generations. The line-up of presenters and demonstrators also included CCA graduates Yurie Iwako, founder of Save the Sudan Club; and poet Elliot Wobler; Shamil Hargovan, a global product manager for Hewlett-Packard; Jason Russell, founder of Invisible Children, Inc.; David Schenone, innovation director for Global Footwear for Nike, Inc.; and Josh and Nina Church, La Jolla Country Day students who co-founded NIKA Water; the cast of “The Buried Life” and more. Drumming, dance, robotics, digital technology and live music rounded out the day’s events and for all those who attended, the message was clear: “Your ideas are worth sharing, you are world changers.” To see a video of the event log onto http://www. livestream.com/TEDxYouthSanDiego

RATES continued from page 1 cent over three years — which was attended by dozens of customers, most of whom spoke against the proposal. The district provides water for about 22,500 people. According to a staff report, the 6 percent increase starting in January will provide revenue of $19.5 million for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. District officials said the increase means that an average customer’s bi-monthly bill will rise to $288.82 from the current charge of $272.78. Late last year, the board — also on a 3-2 vote — approved a three-year rate plan, including maximum increases of 12 percent each year. The first 12 percent increase took effect in February. During budget deliberations in June, however, the board voted to impose a 6 percent increase for 2012, instead of the maximum 12 percent hike. A district staff report noted that reduced operating costs, coupled with lower-than-expected water rate increases from district suppliers, means that a 6 percent increase will provide

Rancho Santa Fe Review enough revenue for the current fiscal year, and the projected increase for 2013 has been trimmed from 12 to 10 percent. District general manager Michael Bardin said in an interview that the district has reduced its operating budget by $1.9 million this year. Slightly less than half of that amount came from reductions in staffing, professional services and other areas, while just over $1 million came from the district’s decision to use a larger portion of local water from Lake Hodges to meet customers’ needs, as opposed to more expensive imported water, Bardin said. Directors Irvin and Dunford initially argued for an 8 percent increase for 2012. “We’ve got to continue to pay into reserves to have a viable (capital improvement) program on a sustainable, long-term basis,” said Dunford. “I think making an artificially low rate now is going to force us to have a higher rate in the future and I want to do what’s best for the district,” Irvin said. But director Andy Menshek said ratepayers are already stung by the sluggish economy and don’t want rates to be raised any more

than absolutely necessary. “The ratepayers have spoken loud and clear — do the best you can with what you have and don’t raise my rates,” he said. Hogan, the board president, said the board directed staff to build a 6 percent increase into this year’s budget, and the current budget is meeting the guidelines established by the board regarding reserves and this year’s capital projects. “I don’t want to go below (6 percent) and I don’t want to go above,” Hogan said. Director John Ingalls was the lone board member to argue for no rate increase in 2012. He said the district should work with partner agencies to issue bonds to pay for capital projects, rather than raising rates. “I think it’s an opportune time for us to pull the trigger with our Triple A rating and do a bond issue,” he said. While other board members agreed that borrowing money through bonds might be an option for the future, they said it would not be a solution for the current budget year. After the board discussion, Dunford said he felt he had made his point about adequately funding reserves,

and switched his vote to support the 6 percent increase. The district plans to notify its customers of the rate increase through a mailer that will be sent out by Nov. 30.

WEAPON continued from page 3 20 years. “Proton beams allow for significant sparing of normal tissue compared to Xray therapy and their use has been shown to greatly reduce the incidence of long-term complications in children,” Rossi said. For certain cancers, proton therapy offers a more precise and aggressive approach to destroying cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, compared to X-ray radiation. Proton therapy involves the use of a controlled beam of protons to target tumors with control and precision unavailable in other radiation therapies. The targeted delivery of proton energy limits damage to healthy surrounding tissue and allows for a more potent and effective dose of radiation to be used. “Scripps Proton Thera-

OSUNA continued from page 1 Conditions for the final map approval include driveway improvements to the main entrance on Via de Santa Fe, and the installation of a backflow preventor, waterline and fire hydrant. One of the final conditions the Association will tackle is improving the sight distance from the driveway to the single-family home. This will involve the removal of three to four pepper trees on the north side of the driveway along Via de Santa Fe; the work should be completed within the next few weeks. Once the map is final, the Association will finalize bids for removal and relocation of electric panels on the south side of the Osuna Adobe, currently a visual blight as wires of the panels snake out like spiderwebs. “That has been awaiting recordation of the map before we can go in and pull those permits,” Holler said.

py Center will be a community resource that will bring together patients, physicians and researchers in the fight against cancer,” said Scripps Health President and CEO Chris Van Gorder. “We’re particularly pleased to make this sophisticated technology available to the children of our community and their outstanding physicians at Rady Children’s.” Currently under construction in Mira Mesa, the Scripps Proton Therapy Center is a $220 million cancer treatment and research facility that is expected to open in spring 2013. The 102,000-square-foot facility – which will be just the second such center west of the Rockies – will have the maximum capacity to treat approximately 2,400 adult and pediatric patients annually. More information can be found at www.scripps. org.

Once approved, the panel will come off the side of the adobe and be put on a low wall closer to the northwest corner of the riding arena. The Osuna Committee is working on a Master Plan, which could include restoration of the adobe and the possible construction of a bathroom facility.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

UCSD duo joins Brooklyn ‘Sound Sculptor’ at The Loft BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Brooklyn-based Marco Benevento is something of a cult figure in the world of avant-jazz, known for his blend of catchy tunes and experimental techniques. Combining keyboard artistry with the latest high-tech tools, he uses amplifiers, guitar pickups, samplers, and circuit-bent toys — electronic gadgets whose wires are snipped, intercepted, and redirected to produce new kinds of sounds — to create his own special effects. Hailed as a “sound sculptor,” he’ll be bringing his genre-bending stylings to The Loft on Dec. 1. Although he performed downtown at Street Scene five years ago, this will be his first appearance in our area with his trio, which includes bassist Reed Mathis and drummer Andrew Borger, also featured on his 2010 album, “Between the Needles and Nightfall.” The title refers to a phrase used by the midwife before the birth of Benevento’s second daughter. “She gave my wife

At The Loft, he’ll be playing an acoustic piano with guitar pickups and whatever else he decides to throw into the mix. And he’ll introduce his newest, just-released, two-song, 7-inch recording. Opening for Benevento will be an duo of UCSD sonic experimentalists known as KaiBorg, composed of David Bargo, a saxophonist, ethnomusicologist and associate professor in the music department’s Integrative Studies program, and Jeff Kaiser, a trumpet-player, multimedia artist and Ph.D.-track student. Both men also use laptops in performance, and play, separately and together, in many different venues and recordings. In 2009, KaiBorg was featured at the grand opening of UCSD’s Conrad Prebys Music Center. Borgo, who has been part of the faculty since

But it’s a lot more convenient to carry around a laptop than a suitcase full of guitar pedals!”

Comfort with class awaits diners at the Savory table BY KELLEY CARLSON avory is more than just a neighborhood restaurant. It’s home away from home, according to chef and owner Pascal Vignau. “We like having everyone feel comfortable,” he said. “It’s not too flashy, it’s comfortable, and it’s not loud.” The place has a “warm” feeling, stemming from the gold and green tones of the cushioned seats and various other accents, to the polished wooden floors. Some of the walls are inlaid with brick; others are covered in earthy tones. An unusual feature: a burnt orange-hued hood over the door to the wine room, which was an oven in the days when the site was a bakery. Vignau intended to keep the decor simple. “I want to see my table,” he said. Comfort food “with a twist” is truly the restaurant’s centerpiece. Start the meal with the daily vegan soup or a colorful salad consisting of roasted beet, crumbled blue cheese, croutons and greens. For something a little heavier, try the “Savory” Mac-n-Cheese with Black Forest ham, or a dish featuring bacon grits, crawfish, Andouille sausage and gumbo sauce. Among the “rustic/classic” entrees are Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast, breaded with croutons and pretzels and served with mashed potato, haricot vert and mushroom gravy; and the Crab Crusted

Savory’s main dining room is ready for dinner guests.

Among his repeat guests are Bob and June, an elderly couple who have been dining at the restaurant a few times a week for several years. Vignau checks in on them to ensure they’re OK if they don’t stop by. He takes time to listen to menu suggestions, and has even been known to drive home an inebriated customer or two. Customers tend to visit Savory the most on Tuesdays and weekends; winter is the busiest season, Vignau said.

Man dedicates life to sharing Falun Dafa with community BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net

Falun Gong is openly practiced in some 70 countries, however, it is widely suppressed in its homeland of China, making it the subject of what’s estimated to be the largest form of religious persecution in the world. In Del Mar, however, the spiritual discipline is practiced peacefully and free of charge at Bindu Yoga, located at 1130 Camino Del Mar. Also known as Falun Dafa, the practice combines meditation with a series of movements, and is deeply rooted to a philosophy of morality and virtue. While he would prefer to remain uncredited under the “leave no name, seek no reward” philosophy of the practice, it is because of 31-year-old Mitch Gerber that Falun Gong is a part of the community. He conducts the class at Bindu every Saturday at 4 p.m., but that is only part of Gerber’s efforts. He holds a total of eight free classes ev-

ery week at six sites throughout the San Diego area, and it’s possible that he could have one of the largest followings of practitioners in the nation — as it is rare to see a city with even one Falun Gong practice site, let alone more than a handful. Gerber discovered the practice during a campus demonstration about a decade ago when he was a student at the Georgia State University, where he earned a degree in international business. He connected deeply with Falun Gong and he said it changed his life when he became a daily practitioner. After graduation, Gerber worked in investment banking for the now-defunct Salomon Smith Barney, but he said he was “discontent with the way society viciously operates.” “I saw people in this rat race trying to survive, and I hated what I was doing,” he said. Gerber has since decided to dedicate his life to Falun Dafa and sharing it with

others, and he describes his efforts as the “purest form of nonprofit.” Not only are the classes free to the public, but Gerber does not receive a dollar himself. “When I found out that people are being brutally persecuted in China for practicing Falun Dafa,” he said, referring to a crackdown of the Communist Party of China and myriad reports of torture and imprisonment, “I felt obligated.” To make ends meet, Gerber works independently in the field of commodity exchange. A South African native of Jewish background, Gerber is a natural human rights advocate. He was an Amnesty International leader during college at GSU, and he also organized a Falun Dafa club there. He said he remembers living under apartheid during his younger years and Nelson Mandela has always been a role model for him. He said religion, as a whole, seemed like “modern

mishmashes of hypocrisy and money,” but he was intrigued by Falun Dafa. “It’s the one practice, it’s safe to say, that has a sincere path of connecting to a private source of peace and love,” he said. For contact information and class times, visit Gerber’s meet-up group at www. meetup.com/FalundafaEncinitas.

BY DIANE Y. WELCH To kick off the Holiday Season, the Del Mar Village Association (DMVA), in partnership with Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Auberge Del Mar, and three local schools, has organized Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual family holiday event for Sunday, Dec. 4, from 2-5 p.m. Many seasonal, fun activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially for children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are planned for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Fashioned Holiday Wonderland Eventâ&#x20AC;? that will take place at Del Mar Plaza, St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church, and along the historic corridor of downtown Del Mar. Check in is at Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Auberge amphitheater, located at 1540 Camino del Mar, where tickets may be purchased for $1 each. The majority of the attractions cost two to four tickets, according to a DMVA representative. In the parking lot at Bullyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there will be a carnival fun zone organized for children with pony rides, inflatable jumpers, carnival games, face painting, henna body art, and holiday crafts, said April Dornback, vice president of programs for the PTA at Del Mar Heights Elementary School. Children may also participate in a cake walk with cakes donated by parents from the three participating schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Del Mar Heights Elementary School, Del Mar Hills Elementary School, and the Winston School â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that will benefit from the event ticket sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the end of the cake walk, every child pretty much will have won a cake,â&#x20AC;? said Dornback. St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church will present its childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the St. Nicholas Choristers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who will be singing Christmas carols from 2-3 p.m. both at the much-anticipated snow area at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church and down at the corner of Camino Del Mar and 15th Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seven tons of snow being delivered to the north patio at the church and it will be open to the community from 2 4:30 p.m.,â&#x20AC;? said Anne Page, the Children and Young Families Minister from the church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will also have complimentary hot chocolate, cookies, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas crafts, and our church thrift shop will have a booth with Christmas items for sale.â&#x20AC;? At Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Aubergeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amphitheater, a special guest has been invited. Santa Claus will be visiting and children may pose with him for a keepsake photograph. And harking back to holidays past, guests may experience a leisurely horse and carriage ride from 11th Street to 13th Street.

Pacific Ridge School wins ‘Best Small School Delegation’ at 2011 Stanford Model United Nations Conference More than 600 students from all over the world assembled Nov. 4-6, for the 2011 Model United Nations (MUN) Conference at Stanford University. Stanford students hosted a variety of high school student committees that spent the weekend simulating the way that the U.N. addresses conflicts and events in the international arena. Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad won the Best Small School Delegation Award out of more than 20 competing schools. “We are extremely proud of our students’ hard work and dedication preparing for this conference,” said Scott Silk, history teacher at Pacific Ridge School. “We took a largely novice group and, in an amazing showing, the students won a top honor for the school.” The Stanford MUN Conference featured 29 committees this year, ranging from traditional to crisis committees. To prepare for the conference, students researched and developed a position paper on each of the topics assigned to their committees. Pacific Ridge School’s 17-student delegation received the Best Small School Delegation Award, as well as seven individual delegate awards at the closing awards ceremony. Best Delegate Awards •Rachel Perelman – White House Task

Your Family Matters: Keeping kids busy over the holidays BY DR. KEITH KANNER Listen up parents, if your kids get bored over the upcoming Holiday vacation, things could get rough. However, some simple things you can do will not only make the Holiday Dr. Keith Kanner time for enjoyable for them, but also for you. Although many children complain about school work, the social benefits of the school day make vacations fun but also boring. This is when the relief from doing school work is replaced by missing the time spent with their peers at recess, lunch, or even when they are doing school projects together. I am a big believer in “family time” during vacations and advocate both alone time with each child and family-oriented activities, but parents need to do even more if they are going to keep their kids happy over the holidays. Here are some ideas. 1. Have your kids stay in touch with their peers. Cell phones, Skyping, and spending time together in “real” life are very important for kid’s mental health. Vacations are times when kids can spend time with their friends without the pressure of school and getting to bed early. Consider allowing your child to invite a friend with you on a day event, such as a movie or even to Disneyland. When kids spend time with their friends away from school, it will strengthen the friendship and make them even better friends when at school. 2. Mix it up. Try some new activities that your family typically does not do. Get out of your typical element. Play a new

game, go for a hike, try a sport that nobody knows how to play. Be creative and ask your kids for some suggestions. Remember, kids love to watch their parents struggle with things for it makes them feel better. 3. Give back. The Holidays bring out the best and the worst. Celebrations, religious ceremonies, “quality time” and, of course, the gifts make Holidays a wonderful time of the year, but it also is a time of sadness and despair for others. Giving back to others, or empathy, is the meat and potatoes of a healthy conscience. Feeding the homeless, packing cans at the food bank, helping a friend who is having a tough time are all wonderful gifts for both oneself and the other over the Holidays. 4. Get rest. Aside from all of the hustle and excitement during the Holiday season, rest and re-fueling for both kids and parents alike is essential. Try taking a family 20-minute nap during the afternoon. Research shows that no more than 20 minutes during the afternoon provides the body and mind with needed rest and makes the rest of the day and evening more enjoyable for everyone. And, don’t forget to read. In fact, read together as a family. Not only does it promote good habits, but it also keeps your child on track mentally so when they do go back to school they will adapt much better than if they have to warm up their brain from being cold from a vacation. Dr. Keith Kanner is host/anchor - Your Family Matters - WSRADIO; contributor to LifeChanger, Extra TV; a syndicated columnist; author of “Your Family Matters — Solutions to Common Parental Dilemmas” (in press); board certified & licensed clinical child, adolescent, & adult psychologist & psychoanalyst; Assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine; National Board Member - KidsKorps USA; and a father of three great kids.

City-wide ‘Christmas Tabernacle’ event is a dream come true for local resident BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net

Jamie Sutton is throwing a Christmas Party — and he’s inviting about 35,000 guests. The Del Mar resident is the brains and labor behind the first-ever Christmas Tabernacle, to be held at Point Loma’s NTC Liberty Station Dec. 16-18. The familyfriendly event will feature more than 100 vendors, a food court, Christmas concerts and performances, a living nativity scene, interactive workshops, a real snow play zone and a themed Christmas tree area. Admission is $12-$18 and multiday passes are available. The upcoming event is a dream come true for Sutton. Growing up, his family had annual passes to all the major parks — Disneyland, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo —and they attended each at least 10 times a year, he said. “One thing I always noticed was how people seemed so happy on those

days,” he said. “I thought to myself that everyone couldn’t be that happy all the time, so it was something about those experiences that made all their troubles go away, even if it was just for one day.” Sutton said it was “magical” how people could leave it all behind at the gate, and he knew from a young age that he wanted to recreate those types of experiences for others. Mix with that Sutton’s passion for the Christmas holiday and a dedication to the religious values it’s based on, and A Christmas Tabernacle was born. “We’re seeing event names change to holiday this and that. Everybody is so PC (politically correct),” he said. “The idea is to go back to being just Christmas.” Sutton’s Christmas spirit may be as big as his entrepreneurial spirit. He started his own tourism magazine company at the age of 20,

and has always kept a book of business ideas close. His ultimate goal is to own his own theme park, and Walt Disney is his biggest idol. The idea of A Christmas Tabernacle came up last November. “It was the holidays, so I was in the mood,” he said. He started doing research on the viability of such an event and saw there were few large Christmas events that would rival his. “The more I looked into it, the more excited I got,” he said, adding that there will be a major philanthropic aspect to the event. The Christmas Tabernacle will feature a forest of 100 Christmas trees that will be uniquely decorated according to themes that will complement each tree’s business sponsor. Those trees will then be donated to families based on need. There will also be a craft station called Santa’s Workshop, where families will be able to make original gifts that can

Holidays post divorce By Diana Weiss-Wisdom, Ph.D. Dear Dr. Diana, My husband and I have been married for six months. He has a 16-year-old boy and I have a 3 year old from my first marriage. Ever since I’ve been on the scene, his son hardly stays with Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom us. It makes me feel badly for my husband who misses his son. We both feel pretty rejected. I blame his mom for not insisting that he spend time with his Dad. Instead, she makes excuses for him and enables him to avoid being with us. I feel like my husband should insist that his son spend time with us but he doesn’t. I don’t want him to resent me later because he lost time with his son. Do you have any advice for me on this matter? — Newly married Dear Newly Married Things are not always as we think they are. It’s possible that your stepson is not avoiding you or his father so much as he is behaving like a typical teenager who prefers to spend time with his friends over his parents. Divorce can be especially hard on Dads and their relationship with their children, for a number of reasons. For starters, maintaining the relationship when they are no longer living in the child’s primary home is a major challenge. Your husband is wise not to pressure his son too much and to proceed gingerly, especially since his son is 16 years old. Let’s look at it from your stepson’s perspective for a moment. His parents chose the divorce but it’s something that “happened” to him. Now, he is expected to pack up his belongings and move back and forth on his parents’ newly determined schedule. Never mind that the last thing most kids his

age want to do is hang out with their parents. Chances are that your stepson not coming around is less about you or his Dad than it is his own social life. Unless your stepson is exhibiting uncharacteristic aggression, depressive withdrawal, or being less cooperative than usual, he may be behaving as any 16-year-old boy might – from a divorced family or not. And maybe his Mom and Dad understand that so they are not pushing him much. The best way for you and your husband to build your relationships with your stepson is to take an interest in his activities. If he is on a sporting team, go watch his matches and cheer him on. Encouraging your husband to spend one-on-one time with his son, taking him to dinner or to a ball game is a good way for you to show your husband your support. I know it’s hard not to take your stepson’s behavior personally, but most likely it has very little to do with your presence. But just in case your stepson is uncomfortable around you, if his Dad and he spend some one-on-one time together, your husband will have an opportunity to find out. My advice to you is to focus on your marriage while supporting your husband in his relationship with his son. That is the most anyone could ask of you at this point. Anything else is beyond your control. And regarding your relationship with your stepson, even in the best of situations, emotional bonds between stepchildren and stepparents grow slowly over time. The best you can do is to be supportive to your husband, and kind and accepting toward your stepson. And then, let time take care of the rest.

This scene has been played out for a year now, it never gets old, that feeling the Martin Katz Rancho Santa Fe team gets after the key is turned, the safe is unlocked and all the jewels are safely placed in their very own special location behind glass. Taking a deep breath, team members unlock the doors in anticipation of what a new day will bring. Often it’s a familiar face, a client stopping in to get her Martin Katz diamond ring cleaned. And there are days when someone walks through the doors after spending hours on a flight home from New York, sitting next to store Managing Director and store owner John Matty, discussing how to update his wife’s jewelry wardrobe. John will never forget the day when he was having lunch with Martin when Dustin Hoffman called Martin from his cell phone looking for an exquisite cognac briolette diamond necklace, which his wife had seen the week before. A few hours later, beautifully wrapped,

off it went. Martin Katz jewelry has long been well known in Beverly Hills and has adorned many celebrities as they graced various red carpet events. The Rancho Santa Fe Salon is an extension of the flagship Beverly Hills store, bringing to San Diego County the exquisite and timeless designs of Martin Katz in its own special way. No need to drive to the mall, downtown, or even Los Angeles for the luxury jewelry items you desire. John Matty and store manager Melissa Braun, along with the Martin Katz team, focus on relationships with their clients, offering personal services, which in-

clude special appointments, jewelry consultation and private showings. And what a help to the client when the Martin Katz team brings in just the right piece for that special anniversary or milestone event. Involvement in the community is paramount and Martin Katz loves to sponsor events that are festive and fun for clients and neighboring businesses. John Matty, a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, has always believed in giving back to the community. Pro Kids, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Patrons of the Prado, Kids Korps, Rady Children’s Hospital, Promises to Kids, and many more have benefited from his generosity. Martin Katz Rancho Santa Fe gives back to the community because it’s this community that keeps Martin Katz going and growing. Martin Katz Rancho Santa Fe is located at 6016 La Granada Rancho Santa Fe, 92067; (858) 759-4100; www.martinkatz.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

The secret is out! Couple wins locals’ hearts with Peruvian cuisine Cafe Secret is located at 1140 Camino Del Mar.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Café Secret is no secret anymore. Rustic and small, the Camino Del Mar restaurant does not visually make itself

apparent from the street, but passing by during dinner time or weekend brunch, one might notice a completely packed outdoor patio. Or on a Wednesday, they may hear the guitar strum-

ming and vocals of a live musician. For years, the former coffee joint may have been a bit more of a secret to the community. But when Daniella and Bratzo Basagoitia assumed ownership two years ago and began putting their passion and culture into the place — now a full-service restaurant serving authentic Peruvian cuisine — popularity has soared and the vivacious young couple continues to develop Café Secret’s new identity. “At first we wanted a name that represented the restaurant, a Peruvian name,” said Daniella. “But we got the business with the name, and we’ve put so much love into the name and everything it has behind

Café Secret in Del Mar offers a “ceviche bar” with seven variations of the seafood dish that can be mixed and matched. COURTESY PHOTO it. It fits perfect and it would be sinful to take the essence out of it.” The couple first opened Café Secret for breakfast and lunch, adding dinner on Fridays only. Gradually they have added dinner on other nights of the week, and only two weeks ago the restaurant came full circle by adding Tuesday night to complete the schedule. The schedule has not only grown, but the menu has, as well. The Basagoitias have not only added items to meet the demand of the community — such as the

best-selling “pan con chicharron” sandwich that was formerly an off-menu “secret” — but they have expanded the selection of one of the things they do best: ceviche. Café Secret offers a “ceviche bar” of seven different types of the dish, which can be mixed and matched. The ceviches vary from more traditional recipes to exotic mixes that incorporate Peruvian corn, sweet potatoes and mangos. The magic that happens in Café Secret’s tiny kitchen dates back to the couple’s childhood years in Peru,

where good food and great company was a part of life. The two moved separately to the United States more than a decade ago, and they were brought together by a mutual friend in Miami, where Daniella lived and Bratzo was visiting from San Diego. As fate would have it, they were coincidentally reunited years later when Daniella moved to San Diego for a job. In the time the couple had away from work — she was working in retail and he worked in British PetroSee CUISINE, page B27

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Outpatient hysterectomy becoming more common BY BRUCE KAHN, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH By the time they reach age 60, more than one third of all women will have undergone a hysterectomy, or surgical removal of the uterus. While this percentage may seem high, it makes more sense when you consider that hysterectomy is the recommended treatment for a number of medical issues affecting the reproductive system in women, including uterine or cervical cancer. Hysterectomy may also be the only effective treatment for painful noncancerous uterine fibroids, abnormal menstrual bleeding that cannot be controlled by oral contraceptives or other methods, a prolapsed uterus that causes incontinence, and severe endometriosis, a painful condition that occurs when uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus. In fact, hysterectomy remains the most common major gynecologic surgery, with approximately 600,000 procedures performed in the United States each year. Hysterectomies are most commonly performed when more conservative treatments, such as medication, are unsuccessful or not well tolerated by the patient; depending on the reason for the hysterectomy, the surgeon may choose to remove all or only part of the uterus. In decades past, undergoing a hysterectomy traditionally required a large incision in the lower abdominal area, hospitalization for a minimum of several days, an extended recovery period that included several weeks of rest and, in many cases, significant pain. In addition, like any open surgery,

the procedure carries increased risks of complications such as bleeding and infection. However, with the advent of newer techniques in minimally invasive surgery, many hysterectomy patients now can have their surgeries performed laparoscopically. In a laparoscopic hysterectomy, several very small incisions are made in the abdomen instead of one large incision. Several thin instruments, along with a video camera attached to a telescope, are inserted through the incisions. The camera transmits an image of the internal organs onto a television monitor, and the surgeon uses the image as a guide to remove the uterus through the incision. Minimally invasive hysterectomies can also be performed using robot-assisted laparoscopy. In this procedure, the surgeon performs the entire procedure from outside the body using technologically advanced robotic surgical tools inserted through the incision. The surgeon sits at a console and uses controls to move the robotic tools while watching the procedure on a video screen. These minimally invasive surgical techniques reduce the length of surgery, hospital stay, recovery time and cost when compared with open surgery. Patients also experience significantly less blood loss, pain and scarring. Often, patients can go home the same day and resume normal activities within days instead of weeks. Hysterectomies performed on an outpatient basis allow patients to recuperate in the comfort of their own

home, reduces the risk of a hospital-acquired infection and decreases the patient’s use of narcotics, which can slow the recovery rate. If patients prefer to stay in the hospital to recover, they have that option in most cases. Undergoing the surgery as an outpatient procedure has been proven to be a safe and preferable alternative for more than half of all patients who have a minimally invasive hysterectomy, according to the October 2011 issue of Contemporary Ob/Gyn. In 2010, an average of 33 percent of hysterectomy patients nationwide had their surgeries performed using a minimally invasive technique, as reported by the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology. Currently, several dozen hospitals and specialty clinics around the country offer advanced training in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery techniques, and the number of patients who undergo minimally invasive hysterectomy procedures is expected to increase. If you or a loved one may need a hysterectomy, be sure to ask your doctor if the surgery can be completed using a minimally invasive technique. Also ask if outpatient hysterectomy may be an option as well.

Form & Function eco-friendly Holiday Fest is Dec. 3 The “Form & Function Holiday Fest: Eco-Friendly, Artisanal & Handmade Holiday Benefit Show” will be held on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., at Form & Function, 414 South Cedros, in Solana Beach. Wabisabi Green, along with other eco-friendly vendors and local artists, will sell their products at Form & Function on South Cedros. Participating vendors include Julie De La Garza boho style jewelry, NMB Designs sterling silver jewelry, Mr. Raccoon’s Empire designer clothing, Sea Salt Candy Company salted toffee candy, Vertical Garden Solutions living green wall installations and Vine Street Market bags made from repurposed fabric. This is a family fun event free to the public.

CUISINE continued from page B23 leum’s environmental compliance department — the two shared their passion for Peruvian food. “We lived in a tiny little place but we’d have like 20 people over and cook for everyone,” Daniella said. “We’d make all the great dishes we used to eat growing up — the flavors from our childhood memories.” Bratzo remembers his entire family in Peru coming together for big, baked lunches every Saturday. “So much there revolves around homecooked food, whereas here people often eat out every day,” Bratzo said. The Basagoitias are first-time restaurateurs who took a U-turn in their careers in an unsure economy to follow their passion and

build something they could call their own. When a friend told Daniella and Bratzo, who were living in Del Mar, that Café Secret was seeking new leadership, Bratzo marched down to the cafe and spoke with the owner that very day. “I didn’t even know she was the owner and I started talking to her about my idea for the place, and it just clicked,” Bratzo said. “She said ‘You need to cook for us and if we like the food we can go from there.’ We made empanadas and a pork sandwich and they loved it. They gave us three weeks to open.” Bratzo knew his recipes and he had worked in a high-volume restaurant before, but never a Peruvian restaurant, which makes complex dishes and uses a variety of rare and fresh ingredients. He trained in-

tensely under a close family friend in Peru during the weeks leading up to the cafe’s opening. The Basagoitias treat their kitchen at Café Secret as if it were their kitchen at home. They often venture off the menu to please customers, Bratzo said, especially kids. They have also been known to adjust the level of spiciness when necessary or make dishes suitable for vegans or those with other needs. “It’s like your mom’s kitchen, but producing massive amounts of feel-good food for anyone’s desires,” Daniella said. “We keep it casual and that’s why we refuse to go to cloth napkins. We want to encourage people to feel like they are at home.” For more information, visit www.cafesecret.com; (858) 792-0821; Address: 1140 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar.
