Roger Rowe School; and new members of the RSF Association and school boards. Issues that had residents talking included changes to the golf club membership and building a playground for Covenant kids. In this issue, we look back at 2011 from January-June. In next week’s paper, we will review July -December 2011.

Local man forever grateful for organ donation

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

He was in his mid-40s, a father of two, a good friend, a wonderful father and husband. That’s almost all Bob Moldenhauer knows about the man who once breathed through the same lungs that he now does. That, and the fact that the man had a loving wife who made a crucial decision during her last moments with him that in turn saved Moldenhauer’s life and maybe the lives of others.

2011 in Rancho Santa Fe: A year in review

January • The RSF Association’s long range planning committee’s community-wide survey went out at the end of the month, the first since 2000. The survey aimed to capture the community’s input on a variety of topics.

February • The RSF Association approved a change to the golf club’s plan of operations to allow certain non-residents to retain their membership status in a 5-1 vote before a crowd of nearly 80 people at the RSF Community Center. The change only applied to residents who have been members for 10 years and all who qualify will be charged at least 10 percent more than regular members in dues.

The Association received 142 e-mails concerning the change, with opinions falling on both sides of the issue.

“I think it’s a bizarre proposal,” said Jerry Block, a 16year resident. “I don’t think it has any merit and it sounds like we’re just feeling sorry for people who moved out of town.”

“People that leave and move away aren’t paying assessment fees anyway, so it’s a win that we continue getting golf club dues,” countered director Jack Queen.

• The RSF School District Board of Trustees voted to put a new artificial turf field at R. Roger Rowe School over natural grass. The project was contingent on receiving delayed state funds.

• Rancho Santa Fe resident Carolyn Nichols traveled to New Zealand as the captain of the Maureen Connolly Cup Team for women 55 and older at the International Tennis Federation’s Seniors World Championships.

Nichols, who is ranked number one in her age group and second in the world, was inducted into the Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame in July.

Nichols’ cup experience in New Zealand was disrupted when a 6.5 earthquake struck the country on Feb. 22, killing 65 people and destroying buildings and neighborhoods.

• The Santa Fe Irrigation District received pressure from ratepayers to cut their own pay and benefits after a 12 percent increase went into affect on Feb. 1. District officials maintained that the main reason for the steadily increasing rates correspond with the jump in the cost of water from the district’s suppliers, the Metropolitan Water District of South-

Bob Moldenhauer lives,” said Moldenhauer, a longtime local resident who underwent his double lung transplant in 2009 after living for more than 11 years with pulmonary fibrosis.

“It’s difficult for me to talk about my donor’s family without tearing up out of sadness for their loss and gratitude for the gift that

they gave me. Despite their tragedy and sorrow, they still have this generosity in spirit to think of others in need.”

While it’s not easy for Moldenhauer to talk about his transplant experience and what he and his family have gone through during his nearly 15-year struggle, he shares his story out of hope that he will urge people to become organ donors.

There are more than 110,000 people in the country (and about 20,000 in California) who are approved and waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant.

•

In San Diego alone there are about 1,500 people on the list, according to Donate Life San Diego. However, only 30 percent of Californians are registered to be organ donors, and only a fraction of those organs will be life-saving because so many are determined unsuitable for transplant at the time of need due to the injury or illness that resulted in the donor’s death. Organs must also be transplanted very soon after the donor dies, giving rise to time and geographic limitations.

Beware of door-to-door solicitors, RSF Patrol warns The RSF Patrol issued a warning on its web site this week for residents to beware of door-to-door solicitors. “These are usually young adults who go door to door selling cleaners or magazines,” according to the Patrol site. “They begin their pitch by telling you that they are your neighbor and they are trying to win a trip to London (or name the place) and you can help them out. Then they tell you if they sell so much of a product they earn the points to get to that fantastic place.”

These solicitors are not legitimate, the site said.

“The product they sell is inferior or the magazines are over-priced and you may not even get them. Are they your neighbor?

NO! They are pretty smart — they learn [a resident’s] name by reading the sign in front of their house or they may have just talked to your neighbor and asked your name.

They look in the local paper for names of lo-

Helen Woodward President rings NYSE Opening Bell On Dec. 23, orphaned dogs and cats available for adoption during the 13th annual Iams Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption program visited the New York Stock Exchange to raise awareness of animal homelessness.

In honor of this occasion, Mike Arms, president of Helen Woodward Animal Center, and Jill Rappaport, Today Show correspondent, along with representatives of Iams Home 4 the Holidays and Bideawee, one of the nation’s leading animal welfare organizations, rang the Opening Bell, along with the help of orphaned dogs and cats.

Iams Home 4 the Holidays, founded by the Helen Woodward Animal Center in 1999, aims to place 1.5 million homeless pets in happy, loving homes this holiday season. The program kicked off on Oct.1, 2011 and will end on Jan. 3, 2012.

According to the Patrol, “these sales people are from out of state and are bused around to sell this stuff. Sometimes these people commit crimes too.

“Our advice is not to buy anything other than Girl Scout Cookies from people at your door. If you are interested in the product ask for some literature and mail order it.

“Door to door sellers have to be licensed by the Sheriff and show a valid Sheriff sales identification. They also have to have a legitimate form of ID to back this up.

Nonprofit (charity) sellers should have a Federal Tax ID as well.”

San Diego Social Venture Partners: Building a better community

BY KATHY DAY San Diego Social Venture Partners members say their organization is all about looking at philanthropy in a different way.

The 130 individuals, known as partners, come from all over the county but there’s a strong contingent of people from the North County area, including outgoing chairman Ray Ellis and his successor Tuck Forsyth.

“We really roll up our sleeves with our partners and get to know them,” said Ellis, noting that it‘s all about leveraging their collective skills. “It’s a threeyear relationship – we don’t just walk away.”

The San Diego group, headquartered at 12555 High Bluff Drive, is part of an international organization. Around the world and locally its members not only invest money – a $5,000 contribution each year for three years is required – but they also invest their time and expertise to improve the community.

In addition to providing unrestricted cash grants, SDSVP provides skilled volunteer expertise to the targeted nonprofits, as well as

Lending a hand Here’s a partial list of groups SDSVP has invested in: Armed Services YMCA Camp Pendleton REBOOT workshop Audeo Charter School Reality Changers Community Resource Center A Reason to Survive (ARTS) Elder Help Learn more at www. sdsvp.org other groups in need of a helping hand.

“We put the funds and human capital into an organization,” Ellis said. “A little of our expertise goes a long way.”

The strongest attributes of the group, Ellis said, are its “collective impact” on local nonprofits and in how much partners learn from each other about how to be better philanthropists.

Their efforts recently gained them recognition from the Association of Fun-

draising Professionals as San Diego’s Outstanding Philanthropic Organization for 2011.

Each year Social Venture Partners picks a special focus and carefully selects at least two nonprofits, which they call “investees,” explained Ellis, principal of the investment firm Ellis & Associates, LLC, who previously was president of the Marketing Services Division of Protocol Communications, a marketing services firm. He serves on several other boards and has announced he will seek the City Council seat now held by Sherri Lightner.

In 2011, the focus was on the military, a particular passion for Forsyth, who in October completed a fouryear “phase out” from his career as a sales executive.

He spent the last 20 years with Lee Hect Harrison and became involved with Social Venture Partners four and a half years ago after his wife died.

“I went from working for pay to working for the community,” he said, noting that he was introduced to the group by a friend. “I was always a sucker for a $200 phone call but never knew

Local students learn to use social media to help others

BY KELLEY CARLSON Usually cell phones are prohibited in classrooms, often being taken away by the teacher, but for one group of students, the devices are part of the curriculum. “I (thought), how can we turn (this issue) around and make it positive?� said Jill Duoto, director of High Bluff Academy in Carmel Valley.

The result: Members of the High Bluff Outreach service organization, an extension of the academy’s “Marketing for Nonprofits� class, are using social media outlets such as Facebook and cell phone contacts to further their philanthropic mission of helping those in need.

In addition, the students are learning the Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet programs; how to design logos; and gaining event planning experience in which they learn how to budget and research prices.

All of these skills will be put to use when the youths host an Extreme Sports Day fundraiser in mid-February, featuring activities such as laser tag and extreme dodge ball, additional games, food and prizes. Proceeds will be used to buy medical supplies for a maternity clinic in South Sudan.

The 10 enrolled students are receiving credit for the class, fulfilling the career/ technical education requirement by the state for graduation. It’s held every Friday, in a four-hour block, at the

High Bluff Outreach students present a check to George Odong and Cynda Fuentes to help with a maternity clinic in South Sudan. academy’s campus on High Bluff Drive. “I like that it’s a class you can’t take at any other public high school,� junior Remy Laing said. “We go off campus a lot, do a lot of hands-on things.�

Duoto said she wanted to establish a community service club for the kids at the newly established full-time, college prep school, which was previously an afterschool tutoring program. The local resident decided to incorporate it as part of the “Marketing for Nonprofits� course, but said she hopes to open membership to students from other campuses, possibly as early as next year. “We would have to hold meetings after school,� said Duoto, who has previously worked with Canyon Crest Academy’s marketing department.

Meanwhile, High Bluff Outreach focuses on assisting a combination of local and international nonprofits.

Among those is The Project for Sudan, a small grass-roots organization that aims to provide safe maternal and child health care services in the poverty-stricken African country.

The idea to help the nonprofit literally came to Duoto.

She explained how she met a woman with an “amazing� resume who applied for a position at High Bluff Academy. Cynda Fuentes, who had been involved in international relief work, was married to one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, George Odong.

According to Duoto, Odong was 8 years old when he was sent away by his parents during the Second Suda-

nese Civil War, in order for him to avoid being killed by government troops and government-sponsored militias.

Thousands of boys as young as 6 years old made a threemonth trek to a refugee camp, and many of them died along the way, Duoto said. However, that camp grew dangerous, and the boys sought safety at another site in Kenya.

During his journeys, Odong had to cross rivers with dangerous creatures while being shot at; today, he still sports scars in his knee and back from bullets, according to Duoto.

Eventually, Odong was sent to the U.S. as a refugee and received political asylum; it’s also where he met Fuentes, Duoto said.

Odong shared his story with the High Bluff Outreach students in a powerful presentation. He also detailed his ef-

forts with Fuentes to establish a maternity clinic in South Sudan, one of the newest — and poorest — countries in the world. The clinic holds prenatal and parenting classes, but still lacks various amenities, including reliable electricity. This presents a danger if failure occurs while a woman is undergoing a procedure such as a C-section.

High Bluff Academy donated $1,000 to Odong and The Project of Sudan to help with the purchase of a backup generator. “What a great opportunity for us to help!� Duoto said.

For another project, students used their social media skills and asked friends to donate clothes, books and shoes to help the predominantly Christian, English-speaking country. Few resources are left after the country split from the Muslim nation, whose main language is Arabic. “The kids were able to completely fill the lobby (with items),� Duoto said. “It demonstrated how powerful contacts are. “I’m trying to teach that you can do incredible things with technology ... you don’t have to do a lot of legwork,� she added.

High Bluff Outreach is also planning to help raise money for a four-wheel-drive truck for the maternity clinic.

Currently, women in labor are taken to the clinic on a motorcycle, bouncing around on bumpy, ungraded roads.

“The stories were so compelling ... how can we not do everything we can?�

Duoto said.

The group also hopes to Skype soon with Odong, who is presently in South Sudan, to see the clinic and the village where it’s located.

Along with The Project for Sudan, High Bluff Outreach supports the San Diego-based Challenged Athletes Foundation, which helps people with physical disabilities to maintain an active lifestyle, many whom become involved in competitive sports.

The student service organization recently set up banquet tables and decorations at a fundraising dinner for the foundation, and took an active role in volunteering at a triathlon the following day. “I like to go to events, see where the work ends up, what the outcome is, and how we help these people,� senior Dylan Lair said.

Duoto added that exposure to different lifestyles and cultures is important. “Part of the education is that we have it good here; we don’t really feel the recession,� Duoto said. “Kids growing up here are so sheltered from what’s going on across town (and the rest of the world).�

Education Matters/Commentary

At the intersection of life

BY MARSHA SUTTON There is great irony at the intersection of contrasting worlds.

As children approach the end of college and face their future with the whole world before them, we have learned gradually how to let go and give them the freedom they as newly minted young adults have earned.

Contrast this with our newfound role as caregivers to aging parents grappling with declining health and end-oflife issues, and you have a seismic collision of emotions that undermines normal coping mechanisms.

Watching our elderly become increasingly weak, frail and timid is juxtaposed against our adult children’s strength, confidence and boldness – with maybe a hint of apprehension and panic they both share.

Our children’s adventures we ourselves can identify with and remember from our own past, while our parents’ future we foresee as memories yet to come.

As joy and fear battle for our attention, we do our best to navigate through the confusion and emotional upheaval of being sandwiched in between.

For the first time, our adult children are coming face-to-face with a future all their own. Since birth, their lives have been planned for them. Most kids in our suburban communities follow a pre-determined path: preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school and four years of college.

Ages zero to 21, their lives are laid out for them in a secure, organized manner.

And then … it’s over.

They now have the freedom to do anything their hearts desire and walk whatever path they choose. They may decide to continue their education, travel, work, engage in charity missions or community service, or embark on any number of other adventures.

Sure, as younger children they had the power to make some choices. But

Marsha Sutton compared with the question, “What do you want to do with the rest of your life?”, deciding whether to pick baseball or soccer, violin or piano, seems trivial.

This may be one of the most exciting, yet frightening, time in their lives – filled with opportunity, anxiety and, sometimes, chaos.

While we revel in the delight and suspense of our children’s release from the programmed lives they’ve led for 21 years, the other side of life presents itself in bleak contrast. Seeing parents face an increasing inability to care for themselves is an ironic offset to the excitement of watching grown children facing a bountiful array of options.

Both parents and children may be afraid of what lies ahead – our kids because of the infinite choices before them, and our parents because of the inevitability of the singular fate that awaits them. Limitless and limited.

Boundless and bound. The joys and sorrows of life.

As I come to terms with the realization that my father really shouldn’t be driving any longer, my older son is taking control over his own auto insurance and my younger son will soon have his driver’s license.

As my older son begins to understand the intricacies and mysterious language of health care – deductibles, premiums, adjustments, EOBs – he’ll take on a greater personal role in choosing doctors, informing himself of choices and options for services, selecting an insurance plan that meets his needs, and deciphering often incomprehensible bills and statements.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, I’ve had to take control of my parents’ medications. I’ll never forget the pitiful look in my 90-year-old stepmother’s big, sad eyes when she gazed at me with an open palm – tentatively, hesitatingly, handing me her daily pill box containers.

Once I grasped it, she sighed. In a moment of clarity, she realized she could no longer be in control of her own medication schedule and needed someone else to make sure she took the right pills at the prescribed time each day. It was a heartbreaking moment for the both of us.

It’s as if control is a zero-sum game – the amount neither increases nor decreases. We simply facilitate the transfer. One side’s grim realization that the time has come for control to be passed to another reminds us that freedom to control one’s own destiny is fleeting.

Even as we rejoice in the exhilaration of our grown children as they spread their wings and take flight, we are reminded of the cycle of passing seasons that tempers the elation.

As both children and parents prepare to traverse what lies ahead, we in the middle reach deep down for the will to provide both of them with dignity and compassion as they each embark on their separate journeys.

So we guide both the young and the old, with all the wisdom, patience and sensitivity we can muster, and pray that whatever we are doing will ease both generations’ passage into the next stages of life.

May you all enjoy the blessings and peace of a healthy and happy 2012, and may this new year be filled with kindness toward one another, generosity of spirit, courage, gratitude, love and hope.

Keep Talking, We’re Listening One Paseo is the result of hundreds of conversations with our Carmel Valley neighbors. We heard that as the last piece of the Community Plan, you wanted a place to gather – a Main Street with restaurants, shops, movies and a specialty grocery store with great parking.

For a Main Street to work, there needs to be a synergy of people living and working there. So we hired the nation’s best planners and designers to create something special.

Our plan for One Paseo is just that: a special place.

Yet we’re not done listening. As the City completes the environmental review next year, we want to continue the conversation with you.

2012 Eye on Science: Cutting-edge research projects

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Jessica Block, a staff research associate at Calit2, is a geologist by training with a keen interest in using visualization technology to address environmental issues and natural Jessica Block disasters, particularly wildfires. San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts has provided funding for her work specifically for remote sensing in Eastern San Diego County for the purpose of better wildfire identification and response.

Block also has support from the San Diego unit chief for CAL FIRE. As final validation, she received a $262,000 NSF grant to merge data from local weather stations with predictive models.

Block’s interest in this field stems from her experience witnessing Australia’s worst wildfire in 2009. She soon began working with firefighters to leverage technology as a means of assisting in fighting fires.

Jennifer Burney, a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is interested in understanding how changes in cooking habits Jennifer Burney – such as replacing homemade cook stoves in rural India with cleaner-burning alternatives – could have effects on climate change and public health.

This work links to broader issues such as the environmental impacts of food production and consumption. The research has caught the attention of the National Geographic Society which has named Burney an “Emerging Explorer,” an award that provides financial support for scientists early in their careers.

Profile

Plastic surgeon treasures old-fashion doctor/patient bond transforming lives of children afflicted with deformities

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN He didn’t say so, but a “flanker” rugby player has to be fast, strong and tenaciousness or he won’t be playing for long — and that’s the position Dr. Salvatore Pacella played in that British-style version of football until he “retired” at 35 three years ago to referee college and high school matches in his spare time.

Pacella, (pronounced “Pa-chella) at 38, also has a day job as a private practice plastic surgeon and the youngest physician to be appointed division head of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Scripps Clinic.

And he’s one of 600 San Diego surgeons, dentists and health care workers who volunteer their time and skills, through

the Fresh Start Surgical Gifts Foundation, to transform the lives of uninsured infants, children and teens suffering from deformities caused by birth defects, accidents, abuse or disease.

As a facial reconstructive plastic surgeon, Pacella has volunteered at more than 20 Surgery Weekends conducted at Rady Children’s Hospital.

Fresh Start hosts six to seven Surgery Weekends each year, dental clinics 13 times a year and provides free follow-up medical services and additional surgeries as long as needed.

Since its incorporation in 1991, Fresh Start has provided more than $20 million worth of free medical services for more than 5,500 children from the U.S. and overseas.

Quick Facts Name: Salvatore J. Pacella, M.D., M.B.A., F.A.C.S. Distinction: Dr. Pacella is the recently appointed division head of plastic surgery at Scripps Clinic. At 38, he is the youngest physician to hold that appointment.

Born: Buffalo, New York Education: B.S. in biochemistry, summa cum laude, Saint Bonaventure University, N.Y., 1995; M.D., University of Rochester School of Medicine, 1999; internship and residencies in plastic surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1999-2007; M.B.A., finance and health care economics, Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, 2005.

Family: He and his wife, Jennifer (nee Flegier) were married in 2005. They have one son, Grady, 7 months, and one dog.

Interests: Refereeing college and high school rugby matches.

Reading: “A People’s History of the United States,” by historian and political scientist Howard Zinn.

Favorite getaway: Palm Springs, Calif.

Favorite TV: “Breaking Bad,” and “Boardwalk Empire.”

Favorite film: “Inception,” 2010 sci-fi thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Philosophy: “Take good care of everyone around you and try to do everything with a sense of wonder and you’ll never get bored.”

Pacella’s private practice includes all aspects of cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery, with a specialized interest in facial, oculoplastic (eyelid) and breast surgery.

We interviewed Dr. Pacella in his office at Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo.

He has an enthusiastic, energetic, youthful manner, and the tell-tale stocky build of a former rugby player-turned rugby referee. He is also the father of a seven-month-old boy.

Pacella was born in Buffalo, New York, the son of a GM auto worker. His grandfather, who is now 92, served in the Italian Army in World War II and was a POW in Greece, before immigrating to Buffalo.

Growing up as the middle child in a family of three children, where education was viewed as the key to a better life, Pacella was drawn to the idea of becoming a doctor while in high school — as a career where you could help people, “and not have to punch a ticket.”

“It seemed like a fantastic career which was wide open. You can help the very old and very young, and particularly in plastic surgery, it’s not the kind of job where you’re ever going to get bored, because every surgical problem is unique, every wound is different and every [facial] cancer is in a different place.”

Also in high school, he played football and dreamed of continuing to do so at an Ivy League college like Columbia, but, instead, he won a full academic scholarship to Saint Bonaventure University in upstate New York where they played rugby instead of football.

“As the school year started,” he recalled, “I really missed the feeling of ‘strapping on the pads’ and became a little depressed that football was over for me. A good friend of mine recruited me to

join the rugby team, and I immediately loved it and have loved it ever since.”

Pacella went on to earn his undergraduate degree in biochemistry, summa cum laude, from Saint Bonaventure in 1995; his medical degree from the University of Rochester, Rochester, N.Y., in 1999; followed by his internship and residencies in plastic surgery at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1999-2007; and additional subspecialty fellowships in aesthetic and oculoplastic cosmetic surgery at centers in Atlanta and Marina Del Rey in 2007-2008.

He joined Scripps in 2008.

He also holds an M.B.A. from University of Michigan’s Ross School of

Business in finance and health care economics.

“And that’s been very critical and instrumental in my career,” he said, “because it brought a different perspective that most physicians don’t have.

“In business school, a lot of issues are tackled in a team-oriented approach,” which provided valuable insights when working in a larger health system, such as Scripps, and understanding the issues involved in delivering health care today.

Whereas in medical school, he was taught to be the sole provider of many services to a patient, in 2011, in larger health care systems, where many different providers are responsible for various patient services, Pacella said,

“It’s important to work as a team to deliver efficient and appropriate health care.”

He’s also big on providing pro bono services through the Fresh Start Surgical Gifts program “because a lot of times in medicine, we can get into a rut of the daily grind, dealing with insurance companies and Medicare, and lose perspective … but when we step back and do this kind of work, it takes all that stuff out of it — the insurance companies and the government — and it’s really about the doctor/patient relationship again. And that’s really important for me to remind myself of quite frequently and that’s what all these Surgery Weekends do. And it really helps me to take care of all the rest of my patients.”

He regards plastic surgery both as a science and an art.

The art aspect comes from being able to visualize not only the short-term results of a surgery, “but how it will look a year from now.

“It’s a very exciting time to be in plastic surgery,” he said, “particularly in the reconstructive aspect of things.

“There is a tremendous amount of work being done on tissue engineering, on integrating human nerves into muscle fibers for prosthetic arms, and human tissue transplantation in the face and hand.

“As medicine improves and tissue engineering improves,” he ventured, “I think someday we’re going to be able to take a stem cell from somebody’s blood, and build them a new ear, a new nose or new breast.

“That’s very exciting.

It’s going to be many years from now, but really some of that groundwork is being laid today.”

Chelsea Anne Hensel and Matthew Scott Radecic marry Chelsea Anne Hensel and Matthew Scott Radecic were united in marriage on Aug. 6, 2011 in an evening ceremony at L’Auberge Del Mar. Parents of the bride are Becky and Bill Hensel of Rancho Santa Fe, and the groom’s parents are J. Scott Christy Radecic of Kansas City.

The Reverend Joseph Coyle performed the ceremony for 100 guests on the Sunset Terrace of L’Auberge Del Mar. Chelsea’s sister, Brett Kordas, acted as Matron of Honor, and she was attended by Jennifer Fenn and Taylor Radecic as bridesmaids. The flower girls were Aliana Hensel and Mae Kordas, nieces of the bride. Cary Kordas, her nephew, served as the ring bearer.

Matt’s Best Man was Cameron Gee and Matt Benz and Dan Gwitt were his groomsmen. Curt Hensel and Jim Kordas ushered the guests to the ceremony on the terrace overlooking the ocean.

Chelsea wore an ivory silk formal ball gown by Lazaro.

The dress featured a ruched cumberbund accented with vintage fresh water pearls & a full gathered skirt with silk flowers flowing whimsically at the back. Completing the look was a diamond necklace from her late grandmother, Madelyn Hess. The bridesmaids wore light gray strapless dresses and the flower girls wore ivory organza dresses with a gray sash. The blue, white and gray color theme was beautifully carried out by Adrianne Smith who created a Nantucket look for the wedding with rustic lanterns on the tables, adorned with flowers and succulents. The natural wood arch on the terrace was similarly decorated with blue hydrangeas, white orchids and succulents. Following cocktails and dinner on the Ocean Terrace, guests danced and were entertained by the band “Undercover. “ Matt is a 2003 graduate of Pembroke Hill in Kansas City and a 2007 graduate of Penn State University. Chelsea attended Rancho Santa Fe Elementary and Middle Schools and graduated from The Bishop’s School in 2003 and the University of San Diego in 2007. She is an accountant at Qualcomm and Matt is a computer engineer at Qualcomm. They met as interns at Qualcomm while in college.

After a honeymoon in Maui, the couple is residing at their home in Del Sur.

Solana Santa Fe’s Study Buddy program continues to flourish Solana Santa Fe Elementary School recently completed its fall session of the Study Buddy program. Co-sponsored by the San Diego Alliance for Drug Free Youth, the mentoring program pairs elementary and high school students. They meet once a week for an hour after school. Part of this time they “study” and the rest of the time they “buddy,” which includes playing sports on the playground or board games.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity. It gives teens something meaningful to be a role model and the elementary students’ confidence is boosted because a slightly older peer truly cares about them,” said Terri Summerhays, who runs the Study Buddy program at SSF with the help of Lydia Noble, the guidance counselor at the school.

Summerhays has been involved with the Study Buddy program for more than 20 years.

Her own son participated in Study Buddies at Solana Highlands while her husband was working out of town for an extended period of time.

“He needed a male role model and the program was so helpful to him then. I think the benefit of that is still there,” she said.

When her children started at Solana Santa Fe the first year the school opened in 1993, Summerhays helped Principal Julie Norby start the PTO program there and she has been instrumental in its success ever since. “I still see the magic that happens between the kids,” she said.

Other school districts that take part in this program include Cardiff, Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe. Teachers at these schools refer students who they think will benefit from the mentoring program. High school students from La Costa Canyon, Torrey Pines and Cathedral Catholic must apply through the San Diego Alliance for Drug Free Youth. During each session, the high school students sign a pledge that they will be alcohol, tobacco and drug-free and be a good role model for their younger buddy.

The next Study Buddy session will be offered in the spring. More information is available on the San Diego Alliance web site: www.sandieguitoalliance.org/studybuddy.html — Stacey Phillips

Dominican Republic tour a special experience for CCA dancer

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Pascalle Rodriguez, a Canyon Crest Academy High School senior, had the dance of her lifetime when she was invited to take part in several professional performances of “Las Mariposas” (The Butterflies) in a three-city tour of the Dominican Republic, from Nov. 26 to Dec. 2, 2011. She performed as part of the Eveoke Dance Theatre’s Concert Company, a team of professionallevel dancers, who were invited as cultural ambassadors.

The tour was sponsored by Centro Franklin, the public affairs section of the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic’s capital. Performed in two acts, the dance theatre work was inspired by “In the Time of the Butterflies” by Julia Alvarez, a novel that retells the inspirational story of three ordinary women, the Mirabal sisters, who fought against the brutal dictatorship of their country’s former head, Rafael Trujillo.

The dance theatre was co-created in 2010 by Ericka Aisha Moore, choreographer and Erika Malone, artistic director. In the Dominican Republic tour, Evoke’s first performance was at the Festival Cultural Hermanas Mirabal in Villa Tapia, in Santiago, said Pascalle.

“They have all these murals in the village that depict the lives of

the Mirabal sisters. We danced during the closing show of a festival that they have each year, to remember the sisters who died.”

Of the four Mirabal sisters, three – Patria, Minerva and Maria Teresa – were murdered in a staged car accident on Nov. 25, 1960, because of their relentless efforts to overthrow Trujillo, an oppressive ruler responsible for over 50,000 deaths. The surviving sister, Dedé, is instrumental in keeping this story of heroism alive through a museum devoted to her sisters and by retelling their story.

Eveoke’s second performance was at the Gran Teatro del Cibao in Santiago, one of the country’s largest theaters. This performance was attended by surviving members of the Mirabal family, novelist Julia Alvarez and her husband Bill Eichner, as well as members of the U.S. Embassy staff and members of the Dominican Ministry of Culture, said Pascalle.

The third show was performed at the Centro Cultural Mauricio Baez, a theater constructed by the government of Leonel Fernández, president of the Dominican Republic, located in the Villa Juana neighborhood in the capital city of Santo Domingo.

“A lot of school children came and saw that production, as well as

Pascalle Rodriguez some of the family members. It was pretty amazing,” said Pascalle who is in her second year of dancing with Evoke’s Apprentice Company.

Eveoke visited El Museo Memorial de la Resistencia in Santo Domingo, a museum devoted to the political uprising against Trujillo’s tyrannical reign. Members met with Luisa de Peña Diaz, director

for one of our shows that year, and she worked so hard to give me the quality that I wanted. She is one of those few students whom I have no doubt will continue dancing and do brilliant things; part of this is talent, part hard work, and the rest her heart,” Stohl said.

Recently at CCA, Pascalle undertook the lead role of Elphaba in the show “GREEN One.” “While working with Pascalle, I demanded excellence, and she had to conquer multiple styles of dance,” Stohl explained. “The biggest challenge for her was moving softly, fluidly. While watching her during the shows, I was mesmerized at her transformation.”

Future plans for Pascalle include a degree course in dance at a major university, after she graduates from CCA in 2012. Pending a dance audition, she has already been accepted into the University of Utah. The University of Indiana also accepted her application with a scholarship. Two years ago, based on a successful audition, Pascalle received a scholarship to take part in the Jean Isaacs’ San Diego Dance Theater summer intensive program.

“Pascalle is a well-rounded artist who carries herself like a true professional,” said Stohl. “There is no doubt in my mind that the sky is the limit for this little dancer.”

and founder of the Museum, who gave them a tour. “There was this big statue about the oppression of the people and how the Mirabal sisters were part of the revolutionary movement. They became known as Las Mariposas – the Butterflies. As we were looking at this statue, a butterfly flew across it and went around our heads,” said Pascalle.

“That was my most memorable part of the whole tour.”

At that same time Dedé Maribal was available to meet them in person.

“We were able to talk to her, it was such an amazing experience,” Pascalle said. “She had such a strong presence and was very excited that we were the dancers taking on the roles of her sisters.”

When Evoke needed younger dancers to play the parts of the four Mirabal sisters as youths, several dancers were chosen from the Apprentice Company. Pascalle was chosen to portray Minerva as a young adult from the age of 14 through 17.

In addition to her work with Eveoke, Pascalle is a member of Dance Conservatory at CCA. Rayna Stohl, her teacher, is impressed with Pascalle’s level of commitment.

“Her passion for dance was evident from the first day I met her. I remember giving her a small solo

Ms. Daniels’ letter to the editor (published Dec. 22, titled “A gift like no other: Our daughter had returned”) was both frightening and heart warming. I am so very glad that Julia is once again enjoying her childhood and school.

And I am appalled that she was the victim of vicious bullying for so long. And I am confused as to why schools do not take a more active role in addressing this very serious problem. Julia is fortunate to have such a loving and courageous family.

Be the catalyst for change: Help end child hunger I am writing you this letter today as our country is facing a serious problem. It’s called childhood hunger. 17.2 million households were food insecure in 2010. Even worse, our country is at a 14-year high of childhood food insecurity.

Hunger is no laughing matter. It’s something that you, your colleagues, your family, and your friends need to take into thought.

President Obama has announced that he will try and end this horrific problem by 2015, but he can’t do it alone.

You need to help. You should take your time and donate food to local food banks, or even volunteer and donate food to your local soup kitchen. Food banks and soup kitchens are amazing. They help out families and other struggling people by giving them food. At food banks, struggling families can go to the food bank and find food. At soup kitchens, they give homeless people a free dinner along with a free lunch for the next day.

The commitment to donate or volunteer doesn’t require much of your time or money. Depending on your location, driving to the soup kitchen may be super easy, or super hard. But, it only takes $15-$30 or more of food to bring to soup kitchens or food distribution centers. Helping out is not impossible; many people do that every day. Most of us know people who volunteer at soup kitchens or food banks.

Ask them. They will most likely say that it is very easy and very fun!

You should also tell your co-workers, tell them to get involved.

We must do something. You can be the change.

groups they’ve supported and you’ll see that children and youth programs have always been interesting to the organization, Ellis said, making this year’s focus on education a natural choice.

“We don’t know the answers,” said David Lynn, who works in La Jolla specializing in investments, database management and business analytics. He is serving as board liaison on the project that will involve seeking solutions to improve local schools as well as raising more money to that end.

The endeavor will also add a new layer as SDSVP enters its second decade, said interim executive director Marion Paul, who was an investee when she worked with Junior Achievement.

This year’s education focus includes aligning with other groups that have common goals so they can have a collective impact, she explained.

“We want to help build the capacity of a sector, in this case education,” she added.

Lynn said they will select at least two nonprofit

members when he got the call around 5:30 p.m. on June 29, 2009 informing him that there was a pair of lungs that might be a match. He waited in the emergency room for three and a half tedious hours before being told it was a go.

Only three days prior, he had closed down his Solana Beach law practice of more than 30 years.

“I knew I was dying,” he said. “I knew I was declining very rapidly. There were the telltale signs that I had only a matter of months to live.”

It was about four months prior to that when Moldenhauer reported to his doctor that his mobility had declined and he could only walk about 10 feet at a time.

“Only weeks before I could walk a block, so things were becoming rapid,” he said. “My lung capacity had decreased to the point that I could hardly get up out of a chair.”

The rapid decline classified Moldenhauer — by way of a point system — as being in great enough need to finally get him on the recipient list he had been waiting to get on for more than a decade.

“It’s not about how long you’ve been waiting,” he said.

“There are so many factors and criteria as to whether a patient can be listed or not.”

Moldenhauer said pa-

investees and will team up with San Diego Grantmakers, which works to stimulate local philanthropy, and other organizations to pull together a countywide effort to find better ways to educate students.

The process of deciding which nonprofits to support begins with a Discovery Team, which polls partners on what groups they might want to help. Then they invite in experts in that sector who share their thoughts and challenges in that particular arena.

Next, the Investment Working Group of 30 steps in to evaluate proposals and select the investees. Then the real work starts and a team leader steps up.

Ellis said that’s often “someone who falls in love with that nonprofit.” That person becomes a key point of contact and forms the team.

The help comes in a variety of ways, from Resource Teams that step in to assist with fundraising efforts, management practices, developing their boards and leaders, as well as providing financial management, information technology or marketing and PR expertise.

Each year during the three-year relationship, the partners and investees devel-

op an annual plan. But it’s not just about the nonprofit, Ellis said. “We measure us and them against program outcomes and the impact in the community.”

And, Paul noted, it’s not about raising money for them but also about helping them raise money and building a stronger organization. Often partners go beyond their donations to Social Venture Partners and make individual contributions to the nonprofits as well as rounding up corporate donations for them, she added. “It’s about leveraging our resources to get more.”

To date, that impact has been great. In 2011, the partners gave $175,000 in direct cash contributions; add in-kind services, additional personal donations and 9,510 hours of volunteer time and the tally hits $1.7 million in value to the community, according to the annual report.

And, in case you were wondering, yes there is a “social” in Social Venture Partners. Members get together for social gatherings as well as having fun with their projects, Paul said, noting that again this year they helped the Community Resources Center put together 300 gift baskets.

tients have to go through a number of medical tests, and after being listed, they must go through much follow-up testing to monitor their eligibility. At any point, a patient may be taken off the list and have to keep waiting.

Moldenhauer is a living example that a diagnosis can happen to anyone. He learned he had idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive disease of the lungs which inflames and damages the lung alveoli, not because he was feeling badly, but because of a routine life insurance underwriting process.

“My son had just been born a few weeks before the diagnosis,” said Moldenhauer, who was a non-smoker and avid runner. “Following my son’s birth I wanted to get back into shape and wanted to be around for a long time, so I decided to expand my life insurance coverage.”

Moldenhauer said that in the process of examining his medical records, someone from the insurance company discovered a spotted marking on a chest X-ray taken about two years prior. He was diagnosed at the time of followup.

“There was some disbelief,” he said.

Now, Moldenhauer dedicates his time volunteering for the local chapter of Donate Life, a nonprofit aimed at promoting organ donor registration, while recovering from

some brain damage incurred during his transplant. He is also involved with the newlyformed Pulmonary Transplant Foundation, which provides education about heart and lung transplants, as well as financial assistance for both post- and pre-transplant patients. The foundation, although still in its beginnings, will eventually focus on supporting research among other things, Moldenhauer said.

Moldenhauer said he is so grateful to those who have been there for him — his donor’s family, his family, local families, medical professionals — that he wants to do whatever he can to give back. He said he thanks his son’s Little League coaches and teammates’ families, who provided guidance to his son, now 14, when Moldenhauer wasn’t physically able to participate.

“When I was in ICU after my transplant, many local families took my son into their homes while my wife took care of me and spent time with me in the hospital,” he said. “I’m the beneficiary of the generosity of my donor and my donor’s family and the magic medical professionals can perform if an organ is in the picture. It’s the people around me who are the heros.

Not me.”

REVIEW continued from page 1 ern California and the San Diego County Water Authority. • Calle Del Nido, the street that originally ran in front of Helen Woodward Animal center is renamed Helen Woodward Way at its intersection with San Dieguito Road.

March • RSF Fire Protection District administration moves out of the El Fuego station to their Cielo Station, paving the way for the RSF Patrol to move back in. • The RSF School District passed a new policy restricting teachers from communicating with students via social networking sites like Facebook. Richard Currier, the school district’s attorney, said Rancho Santa Fe is the frontrunner on developing such a policy. • Residents complained about a foul odor from the San Dieguito Reservoir. Letters sent to the Santa Fe Irrigation District and complaints made to the Association described a “sewer-likeâ€? smell and swamp-like look.

The California Division of Safety of Dams requires the irrigation district to lower

Rancho Santa Fe Review the water level from Oct. 1 to April 30, to accommodate runoff from rains and prevent dam overflow. When the water level is lowered, residents may experience odors from the exposed sediment that should go away when it dries. • On March 11, a 9.0 earthquake hit Japan, followed by a destructive tsunami that killed nearly 16,000 people. Rancho Santa Fe students, business owners and clubs like Rotary rallied to raise money for the victims.

April • Results came in from the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s long range planning committee’s survey—the four-page survey had a 46 percent return rate.

The survey listed six local issues and asked respondents to prioritize how much emphasis and importance the Association should place on them. Coming out on top as the highest priority was preserving Rancho Santa Fe’s character, with 61 percent thinking that was the most important priority.

Maintaining the RSF Patrol came second, with 45 percent.

Ensuring that traffic and speed are controlled in the Covenant received 40

percent, followed by undergrounding utilities at 31 percent. Improving infrastructure for high-speed Internet and preserving the open space program came in at the bottom, with 30 percent and 19 percent respectively. • The RSF School District received $8.3 million of supplemental grant funding from the state that was delayed from 2010. The money was used for the Performing Arts Center on items such as sound, lighting and a stage curtain, the new artificial turf field. • San Diego City Council unanimously approved a $25 million upgrade for Flower Hill Promenade. UltraStar Cinemas closed its doors for good in June, making way for a Whole Foods Market, currently under construction. A territorial dispute between the Coastal Commission and the city of San Diego continues, as well as a lawsuit from neighbors.

May • A group of 60 Rancho Santa Fe hikers conquered the Grand Canyon’s Rim to Rim hike, a 22-mile trek that works up to an 11,000-foot elevation. Hikers, such as Association Manager Pete Smith, RSF Fire Board President Jim Ashcraft and mem-

bers of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club, spent about a year training for the feat. • Drew Brees returned to host the Cox Celebrity Championship at Morgan Run Club & Resort.

With the tournament, Brees Dream supports Rady Children’s Hospital, Friends of Scott Foundation, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Pacific South Coast Chapter and the San Diego Armed Forces YMCA, a cause close to Brees’ heart as he has done five USO tours overseas to 10 different countries. “It’s a great way for my wife Brittany and I to stay closer connected to this community,� Brees said of his work in San Diego. “Even though I play for the New Orleans Saints I never forget where it all started.�

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo won the tournament and donated his $25,000 winnings back to the Brees Dream Foundation. With Romo’s donation, the tournament raised $135,000.

In 2012, the tournament will move to the La Costa Resort. • Covenant condo owners requested that the RSF Association change its by-

laws to give them voting rights and the right to join the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club at the Association board’s May 5 meeting.

Their request was denied.

The issue was last visited in 1996, when both the golf club and Association voiced opposition to the change. Currently, only two voting memberships are allowed for each condo development regardless of the number of units in the development. Those two memberships are also granted the right to join the golf club.

There are 17 condo subassociations within the Covenant. Of the 82 units, there are 34 units with voting rights and 48 without voting rights. • The RSF Association took the first steps toward acquiring a 47.73-acre lot for open space on Rambla de las Flores and El Acebo by conducting an appraisal of the land.

The Association board members decided to pass in July. They felt the price and terms were fair but given the current state of the economy and the fact that the purchase price would require debt to complete the purchase, they decided not to pursue the property.

• Racehorse Animal Kingdom, owned by Team Valor International where RSF resident Aron Wellman serves as vice president, won the Kentucky Derby. “To win the Kentucky Derby I think is just about every American’s dream,â€? said Wellman, 34, who got his start in the horse racing industry as a youngster at the Del Mar Racetrack. “To have won it is an incredibly humbling experience.â€?

June • Ann Boon and Larry Spitcaufsky are elected to the RSF Association board, replacing outgoing members Tom Lang and Deb Plummer. • On June 1, a pair of U.S. Marines presented R. Roger Rowe School with a framed American flag that was flown in Afghanistan as a “thank youâ€? to Rowe first and second grade students who had sent their First Combat Engineer Battalion care packages and letters during their seven-month deployment. • The opera came to Rancho Santa Fe with Bach Collegium San Diego’s performance of “Dido and Aeneasâ€? at the Performing Arts Center, the biggest performance to date in the new center.

Patriot Profiles: ‘It’s a high-stress environment’ Navy” — ending up wearing the yellow shirt of an Aircraft Director.

Ashton uses a complex series of hand signals (or yellow wands at night) to direct pilots in their planes to their catapult position in Fly 1, one of three flight operation sections on the ship’s 1,094 foot deck. She also directs returning jets that have caught the trap wire to their final parking destination.

Ashton says “it’s definitely a man’s world up there,” 90 feet above the deep blue. “Bull work is what we like to call it – grease and sweating, not your typical getting your nails and hair done.” Naturally pretty, you’d never know Ashton was a tomboy growing up. Now, she doesn’t bat an eye about lifting a 100-pound tow bar and lightheartedly claims to “run circles around her male crewmembers. It’s really about mind over matter – physical wise.”

Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Equipment Airman (ABEAN) Troy Phillip Obuga thought “it sounded cool to launch and recover aircraft.” Troy, who wished to go to school again, waited two years to get in the U.S. and became an American citizen through the Navy. He proudly wears a green shirt as a Topside PO in charge of the safety of the deck crew, pilots

and aircraft on Catapult #3.

Troy deals with a steam-driven monster that shoots a 45,000-pound jet down a 300 foot track from 0-165 miles per hour in two seconds. Obuga explains; “You connect the aircraft to the buffer hooks, part of the nose gear launch (NGL) or holdback at the rear of the cat. The launch (tow) bar, in front of the aircraft, connects to the shuttle that is attached to the track. Once the proper weight is configured, along with proper steam and hydraulic pressure, then it’s safe to launch. It will start taking tension, the pilot goes to combat power and they press fire.”

In his soft-spoken homeland accent Troy adds; “Before we even put the aircraft on the catapult…

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY One didn’t know what to do with her life, the other left his family half a world away in the Philippines, while a third never questioned his decision to be there. All three converged to work in one of the most dangerous places on earth – the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, where countless accidents are waiting to happen. It takes full-time professionalism just to survive.

These three keep their heads on a swivel while working on the USS Ronald Reagan.

an Diego’s Balboa Park is renowned for its museums and gorgeous setting, so it’s only fitting the park’s only fullservice restaurant — The Prado at Balboa Park — offers its own sense of culture with California-modern cuisine blended with international influences.

Like the draw of attractions or arts events at Balboa Park, The Prado can be considered a destination restaurant. It is located at the heart of the park inside the architecturallygrand House of Hospitality building, a historic landmark.

Executive Chef Jonathan Hale said he has created a menu with “fresh, bold flavors� which compliment the location, ambiance and decor. “There is something for everyone,� Hale said of the “eclectic but accessible� cuisine.

In addition to innovative, American dishes with French, Spanish and Asian touches, the menu carries familiar, comfort-food favorites.

Popular appetizers reflecting the menu’s diverse flavors and international influences include Spicy Calamari Fries (with Korean chili sauce and napa-cabbage slaw), Prado Sea Cake, and Kobe Beef Sushi Roll.

Not the usual crab cake, Prado Sea Cake consists of crab, shrimp and cod with South Asian sambal remoulade, Spanish piquillo aioli; and served with an apple-jicama slaw.

The Beef Sushi Roll has a good balance of textures and flavors with the soft sushi rice, crunchy asparagus, bold zing in the wasabi cream, a hint of citrus in the ponzu dipping sauce, along with flavorful tobiko aioli.

Some of the salads have changing ingredients based on the season. A popular winter salad is the 3 “P� Salad. Thin-shaved, orange-colored persimmon are beautifully arranged and topped with sliced pears, chopped pecans, watercress, mint and a honey-ginger vinaigrette. The result is a

■The Prado’s Pan-Roasted light and tasty combination.

One of the more fitting entree choices — based on the restaurant’s Spanish architecture — is the Prado Seafood Paella.

Fish, mussels, shrimp, calamari, chicken and chorizo are simmered with a twist on tradition by using a lobster-saffron broth.

Seafood dishes include local fish, like the Pan-Roasted White Sea Bass. It is served with French green lentils, baby spinach, pancetta, star-anise emulsion and topped with fineshaved fennel — resulting in a Californiamodern dish with a touch of French and Asian ingredients. “Lentils are great in the fall with a great, Earthy flavor,� Hale said. “The accompanying carrots have some vibrant colors; there is a sweetness in the sauce, and the big-flakes in the fish give some nice texture.�

Braised Beef Short Ribs is a signature dish in which its preparation may change seasonally. Hale said the rich flavors of the beef are balanced with horseradish mashed potatoes to give sharpness to the dish; an Italian gremolata mixture of roasted garlic, parsley and citrus; and grilled asparagus for texture. The short ribs are slow-roasted for hours and so tender that a knife is not needed.

Beef lovers would also be wise to choose

the Grilled 16-ounce Bone in Ribeye (with truffled mac ’n cheese, and green peppercorn sauce), or Shrimp and Filet (Grilled Angus petite filet, marinated grilled shrimp, garlic potato puree, green beans, crispy challots, harts of palm, and bordelaise sauce).

One of the top vegetarian dishes is a ThaiStyle Yellow Curry Red Pepper Pappardelle with Tofu (coconut milk, lemongrass, lime leaf, peas, cauliflower, and spinach), which is also available with chicken.

Lunchtime choices include the addition of comfort foods, such as Artisan Sourdough Grilled-Cheese Sandwich and Soup (serrano ham, tomatoes, french fries, chunky tomatobasil soup), and a twist on a classic: SlowCooked Short Rib Pot Pie (marsala wine, peas, carrots, and cipollini onions, topped with a giant puffed-pastry lid).

For dessert, the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Bar can be a sweet ending to a fine meal. Rich chocolate cake is layered with a soft chocolate mousse, praline crunch, and bacon-hazelnut tuille in which pieces of Applewood smoked bacon give a subtle, salty balance to the sweetness.

Another dessert great for sharing is the “over the top� Tres Leches. Traditional “three milk�-soaked sponge cake has baked pistachio meringue filled with caramel bananas and vanilla-bean ice cream.

The spacious restaurant offers dining in several areas: a trendy bar/lounge; garden terrace with skylights and views of the park’s greenery; expansive patio overlooking one of the park’s lush valleys; and the main dining room filled with hand-crafted decor, Latin architecture, Spanish ceiling tiles; and glowing, romantic lighting in the evening.

Reservations are highly recommended, especially for weekends and tourist seasons, when there are special events at the park, and days when The Old Globe Theatre holds performances.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Expert helps parents, students successfully navigate the path to college

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES. NET

As university acceptance rates decrease and college dropout rates increase, it is becoming more and more crucial for students to get started on the right academic and Elloise Bennett motivational path early in high school, and Elloise Bennett has dedicated her life to being a guide on that path.

A former administrator at both Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy, Bennett is the founder of Clarus Consulting Group, which helps parents and students develop clarity around the college application process, make the most out of the high school experience and search for the right university. The San Diego native works alongside Rik Napora, a credentialed high school counselor who has more than 15 years of counseling experience.

Bennett said one of the main fo-

cuses is making sure students understand their options.

“When I started looking at colleges, I thought the only ones that existed were Berkeley and Yale,” she said. “I had no idea what my options were and the costs involved.”

Bennett said there are more than 15,000 colleges in the nation, most of which are little known to students.

“The competitive schools every kid knows about have extremely small acceptance rates,” she said. “That’s why it makes it more important to know what the options are and plan appropriately.”

Bennett said there are so many academic options that a little research and knowledge of what’s out there can provide the exact fit for any student’s interests and skills. For example, an artistic student who may not want to study art as a career path might choose a small private school that offers a good art program in addition to a premed program. Or Oberland College, for example, is known for its music program, but also has a notable programming major that is lesser known.

Clarus Consulting works with kids

from their freshman year to high school graduation and beyond, but Bennett said the earlier a student starts planning high school classes and developing a college plan, the better.

An avid traveler and travel writer (you can read her stories at foundtravel.wordpress.com), Bennett interacts via Skype with clients across the country — but she prefers to focus on the Carmel Valley area because she’s familiar with it. Not only that, but considering the significant budget cuts that schools are going through, she said she feels as if she is filling a void.

“The best part of my work as an educator was working with students to see how we could make changes and plan for the future,” she said. “Parents want their kids to be competitively eligible, which means standing out … distinguishing yourself by being passionate about something and being outstanding in that passion.”

“Million dollar” decorating ideas: how to bring high-end style into your home

Local resident’s monogram jewelry line reflects importance of family

BY KAREN BILLING Regina Chapman believes she’s not just selling jewelry, she’s selling meaningful, high- quality heirlooms that can be passed down through generations. The local resident’s Grey Lee Designs monogram jewelry line specializes in special custom-made pieces that reflect the importance of family.

At this time Grey Lee focuses specifically on monograms in necklaces and men’s cuff links.

The designs are sold mostly online and she hopes to get into major retailers soon. Chapman said the jewelry is a great “push present” for new mothers, good for bridal party presents and while it may be too late for the holidays (orders take about two weeks to complete), it’s never too early to think about Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day. Chapman worked in advertising and marketing before having her son Grayson and becoming a stay-at-home mom. She also has two stepchildren.

“I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart, I can never sit still,” Chapman said.

She has also always loved jewelry—when she was 16 she used to host jewelry parties to make a little spending money.

She wanted a line of her own to be about personalization.

“I’ve had an affection for anything monogrammed for as far back as I can remember,” said Chapman, her RAC initials sparkling on a Grey Lee Design around her neck.

Looking around in 2009 when she started her business, she saw no one was really doing monograms with diamonds to the scale she was envisioning.

She started calling around and searching the Internet to find a manufacturer.

“The biggest hurdle was finding someone local,” Chap-

Regina Chapman of Grey Lee Designs man said. “I wanted to keep my manufacturer local so I could stay hands on and monitor the design process and make sure every piece going out is high quality.”

She named her company Grey Lee after her 4-yearold son, although she tweaked the spelling a bit.

Chapman still personally looks at a sample design of every order before stones are placed.

Grey Lee does not use plated metals, sticking with 14K white, yellow and rose gold and sterling silver. Every initial is placed by hand so it’s laid out the right way and dia-

monds are placed one by one.

“A real labor of love goes into every piece that we make,” Chapman said.

Because of the quality of materials used and the loving labor, the prices are a bit higher, but Grey Lee offers some options using cubic zirconium to provide a range of $180 to $2,600.

The future of Grey Lee is full of possibilities. Chapman hopes to design a monogram ring and possibly move into charms for necklaces or bracelets.

It was important to Chapman that any venture she took on would still allow her to be there for her children—she didn’t want to miss any of Grayson’s “firsts.”

“To be able to do this and still be home for my family, I couldn’t ask for anything else,” Chapman said. To check out Grey Lee Designs, visit www.greyleedesigns.com

Photo/Jason campus of the University of San Diego. Threlfall An optional reception and book signing precedes the lecture at 5:30 p.m. Kohn’s visit to San Diego is the result of a collaboration among these three area schools.

In his Jan. 12, 2012 lecture, titled “The Schools Our Children Deserve,” Kohn challenges traditional educational norms, including fierce competition, reward incentives, standardized testing, excessive homework, and grading systems. He will share research-based alternatives to these practices and discuss models of education designed to develop children’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Kohn, a renowned Boston-based expert on education, human behavior and parenting is the author of twelve books, including several books leveraging social science research on the topic of education. His most recent work, Feel Bad Education, establishes the notion that the current U.S. educational system robs students’ learning of both meaning and pleasure. He has been featured

in print publications such as Time magazine and the Washington Post, along with guest appearances on the “Today” and “Oprah.”

According to Grauer School Advancement Director, Chela Gonzalez, “We’re honored to participate in bringing Alfie Kohn to San Diego to share his philosophy on education, which is very much in keeping with The Grauer School’s mission and philosophy. This approach has provided our students with a balanced education, enabling the school to provide the pathway to top colleges available.”

Brian Oliphant, Head of School at The Children’s School, says, “For 40 years, The Children’s School has been offering a deeply engaging, progressive, project-based education for students from toddlers through eighth grade. Having Alfie Kohn come to San Diego is a tremendous opportunity to share the merits of this methodology, which we believe is the optimal model for education.”

And Dr. Helene Mandell, USD SOLES director of Field Experiences, asserts that “Progressive education has been proven by years of research to be an effective means of teaching students to think critically, to understand material thoroughly and personally, and to have great potential for success in higher education and in life. Our program embraces this model and we are delighted to bring Alfie Kohn to San Diego to endorse its efficacy and importance.” Tickets to the event are $10 per person and space is limited.

To Your Health: Tips to keep your New Year’s resolutions

BY GEORGE PRATT, PHD, SCRIPPS HEALTH As another new year approaches, people across San Diego are resolving to lose weight, exercise more, manage stress and make other changes improve their health and life. According to an article in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, 40 to 45 percent of American adults make resolutions— but just two weeks later, only 71 percent are still sticking to them.

•How do you make resolutions last? First, be realistic. When you set unrealistic goals, you set yourself up for failure. Choose goals that are achievable, and reasonable. Better yet, select just one goal instead of three or four. This helps you focus your efforts and maintain motivation. When you set too many goals and one falls apart, it can have a domino effect on the others.

•Don’t wait until New Year’s Eve to choose your goal. It takes attention, motivation and awareness to successfully change behavior. Whether you want to hit the gym, spend more time with family or meditate, start now to make a plan for how that will happen instead of waiting until the last minute. Schedule time for your goal—for example, decide that you will go to the gym during lunch or spend one night a week playing games with the kids.

Knowing how you are going to achieve your goal makes it much easier to fully commit to it.

•Be gentle with your approach, not obsessed, and see yourself with kind eyes.

Habits and behaviors don’t change overnight. If you miss a workout or do something else counter to your goal, don’t punish yourself or throw in the towel in selfdisgust. Instead, deal constructively with setbacks.

Think about how you might speak to a friend or a younger child who had a setback.

Most likely, you would be kind, positive and encouraging, rather than critical or negative. Speak to yourself the same way, and it will be easier to get back on track.

Remember that changing habits is a process, not a one-time event, and stay fo-

cused on the big picture.

And when you have been sticking to your goals, reward yourself. Positive reinforcement, such as allowing yourself to buy a new piece of workout gear or getting tickets to a show, bolsters your self-confidence and your resolve.

•Seek out social support from your friends and family. Build a healthy, supportive network of people who encourage you to meet your new goals. For example, if you want to eat healthier or consume less alcohol, spend more time with people who have like interests. Social imitation is a very powerful force. When you surround yourself with people who are already where you want to be (or are in the process of getting there), it will be much easier to achieve your goal. Similarly, using the “buddy system” to recruit a friend who has the same goals as you, such as quitting smoking or walking every morning, can be immensely helpful.

•Take time every day to visualize yourself achieving your goal. This is known as “positive end-result imagery”; when you bring your attention to visualizing your goal every day, it begins to become subconscious and automatic. When your behavior no longer has to be filtered by the prefrontal cortex of the brain for logic and judgment, it becomes almost natural—something you do without really thinking about it. How do you do this? Take two minutes a day and

breathe deeply while holding the image in your mind of you successfully accomplishing your objective, and smiling about it. After several weeks, the new behavior will become nearly automatic.

•Finally, think about what you are most grateful for in life. This helps your brain, your mood, your interpersonal skills and your motivation. In my new book, Code to Joy, we talk about the newest exciting neuroscience and what creates joy, and methods to accomplish that. Every day, perhaps in the shower or when you are doing some routine activity, think about what you are most grateful for in life. Even in this tough economy when many people are struggling, feeling grateful about something as ordinary as the warm water washing over you, or the sun shining outside, can have a positive effect. As you do this more often, you will find yourself adding more and more things to your list. When you regularly practice being grateful, you begin to strengthen the left prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain associated with happiness. This, in turn, helps you feel more empowered to reach your goals and create the life you want.

DR. He SAID, SHE SAID: Wife’s attitude oppresses husband

By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. Dear Dr. He Said, Dr. She Said, I am a Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. stay-at-home (Dr. He) and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) dad, which means that I take our two kids back and forth to school, clean the house, do the laundry, pay the bills, and make the social calendar for us all. My wife is the bread winner. She works for a large corporation, has a graduate degree in economics, and busts her butt to make a decent living for us. A long time ago I had to make a decision that I could live with this arrangement between us. We’ve been married for 17 years, and for the most part it seems to have worked for us. There is, however, one area that I am fed up with that drives me crazy. My wife likes to treat me like I am not a very smart person. I never finished college and, as a result, she seems to think that her opinion should have more weight than mine in our relationship. What’s worse is that she has always treated me this way in front of our kids, who now jump on the band wagon with her to discount my opinions when they hear something from me they don’t like. This feels unhealthy to me, but she says I am being a cry-baby about it. What do you think?

— Warren Dr. He Dear Warren, The first question that comes to my mind is, “What took this guy so long to grow a pair and finally speak up?” Your willingness (read: lack of self-respect) to put up with this kind of treatment from your wife says more about you, Warren, than about her. The economic division of labor role reversal in your marriage is not uncommon these days, but if—as a result of this arrangement—also came the expectation that your opinions and needs are not as important as hers, then this is what I feel a need to comment on. You say that she “likes” to treat you as if you weren’t very smart, but I would bet that she does it because she knows now that she can get away with it as a way to hold more power in the relationship than you.

Again, rather than try to wonder what that is about her personality, I wonder what it is about you that has put up with this kind of treatment for so long. When you made your decision long ago to live with this “arrangement”, did you realize that in effect you agreed to check your manhood at the door? Is it unhealthy for your wife to put you down if front of your kids? Absolutely. But waiting 17 years to do or say something about this lack of respect in your marriage sounds pretty unhealthy as well, Warren.

Until you present yourself to your wife as the adult man you are who has opinions, thoughts, and feelings that are just as valid and important as hers, she has no reason to show you respect. Remember: respect is never owed; respect is earned. Not having a job or a college degree in no way justifies disrespectful treatment from a spouse. You, however, need to figure out why you lack the gumption to sit down with your wife and paint her a very clear picture of how unacceptable it is for you that she treats you this way—whether or not it is in front of the kids. Talk to a qualified professional to help you figure out why you made this kind of a deal with your wife in the first place, so that you don’t ever do it to yourself again. Best of luck, Warren.

Dr. She Dear Warren: I think Dr. He has painted a good picture of your part in this muddle. I would add that you and your wife need to get extremely honest with each other about this problematic arrangement. She is obviously not okay with being the breadwinner even if she says she is. If she was, she would not be pulling the power card on you, nor would she have such disrespect for you that she would degrade you in front of your own children. She must be extremely angry to allow the children to join in discrediting you. What is most concerning is that the dynamic between the two of you is teaching your children that they can not count on a man—that a man’s opinion is irrelevant— and that emasculating a man is okay. If you have a son, his self-identity as a man is in jeopardy.

If you have a daughter, her respect for men is being compromised. I can’t imagine that your wife would continue with her behavior if she was really aware of what she was teaching her children. I can’t imagine that you would allow it to continue if you really understood the subconscious message you were sending to yourself, your wife and your kids.

Please get into therapy and get to the bottom of your wife’s anger and to the bottom of your own lack of self-worth that put you in a position to allow this to go on in your home for so long. You have an imbalanced relationship and you need to change that for your own sake and for the sake of your relationship with your wife and your children. All the best to you, Warren.

CCA Boys Varsity Soccer Team Grossmont Tournament finalists Congratulations to the Canyon Crest Academy boys varsity soccer team, led by Head Coach Tom Lockhart and Assistant Coach Sarah Aguilar. They achieved great success in the 34th Annual Grossmont Varsity Soccer Tournament by taking home the Finalist trophy! The CCA Ravens earned their way to the championship game by defeating a very strong Hilltop soccer team in the semi-final game held on Dec. 17. It was a hard-fought game on both sides and the score was 1-1 at the end of regulation play.

However, the CCA team claimed victory by scoring a goal near the end of double-overtime, posting a final score of 2-1.

The CCA Ravens then advanced to the championship game on Dec. 19, where they faced local rival and tough opponent Torrey Pines High School. It was a thrilling game that once again ended in a 2-2 tie at the end of regulation play. The score was still tied after double overtime and the game went to penalty kicks, where Torrey Pines won the shoot-out and claimed the championship ti-

tle.

CCA Coach Tom Lockhart had this to say about the game: “This program has come a long way in its brief six years.

Through dedication, discipline and hard work, the CCA boys have earned the respect of high schools throughout San Diego. It was a tough way to lose, but this experience will prove vital when we play in the post season. Tournaments allow a coach to see their strengths and weaknesses; right now the positives far outweigh the areas of concern.”

Although CCA Coach Tom Lockhart and Torrey Pines Coach Andy Hargreaves are rivals on the varsity soccer field, they are on much friendlier terms at the RSF Attack Soccer Club, where they are both on the coaching staff. Coaches Lockhart and Hargreaves, along with their varsity soccer teams, are to be congratulated for an incredible display of skilled play and outstanding sportsmanship.

They are wished continued success for the upcoming season.

Torrey Pines Rugby Club runs record 2-0 in Southern California High School League The Torrey Pines Rugby Club won its second game of the season, 24-0 over Patrick Henry on Saturday, Dec. 17, at Carmel Valley Middle School. The team ran its record to 2-0 in the Southern California Boys High School Rugby League (Southern Division).

Torrey Pines defeated a combined Serra/University City team, 63-0 in the season’s opening week.

The Torrey Pines victory over Patrick Henry was especially impressive since at least five starters were sidelined with injuries, or resting for upcoming tournaments.

Billy Maggs, a junior football player at Torrey Pines High School, scored four tries against Serra/University City, but was held out in the first half against Patrick Henry in order to rest a hamstring. Maggs has been invited by the Southern California Rugby Football Union (SCRFU) to participate in a select Winter Camp that will culminate in an international friendly against Canada’s U19 team. Star center Andrew Fargo was impressive in the first week, but sidelined Saturday by a muscle pull. Veteran senior

forwards Michael Tillson and David Lederer, and center Codi Jones, led the Torrey Pines squad both weekends, while newcomers Grant McGahey and Chase Pickwell (one try against Serra / University City) made contributions. The Torrey Pines team is coached

by Matty Sandoval.

Started only last, year, High School Rugby in Southern California now numbers 21 teams in four divisions affiliated with 23 different high schools (some schools combine).

In San Diego County, Cathedral Catholic, Del Norte, St. Augustine, Grossmont, Serra/ University City, San Pasqual, Torrey Pines High Tech High/Pt. Loma, Patrick Henry and Hoover make up the two Southern Divisions of the Southern California Boys High School Rugby League.

Rugby is not currently a CIF-sanctioned sport. But, with growing awareness, and the recent addition of Rugby Sevens to the Olympics, supporters of the world’s most popular contact sport believe it is only a matter of time until Rugby joins Lacrosse as a new addition to the High School sports

scene.

“We have gone from 0 schools to 8 schools in the first year, and have now more than doubled to 21 schools our second year” said Ramon Samaniego, Director of Coaching for the San Diego Youth Rugby Club “Mustangs.” The Torrey Pines and Cathedral Catholic “High School” teams are comprised of Mustangs players who play for the Club after the high school season. The Torrey Pines squad also includes some La Costa Canyon players. “We expect the sport to grow exponentially as more students become aware of it,” says Samaniego.

Your Family Matters: Getting kids back “into” school after the Holidays

BY DR. KEITH KANNER If your family is like most, your children and adolescents are still in a state of denial that school begins next week. As parents, however, you are ready for the holidays to end and excited about getting them back into structure and routine.

Many parents avoid the concept of talking to their children about school re-starting for they fear putting their children into bad moods and getting into a fight. On the other hand, when parents do not approach talking about getting ready for school again and looking ahead to perhaps new year’s expectations for success, the avoided conflicts tend to emerge shortly after school begins when problems may already have arisen or repeated themselves from the following term. In addition, when parents do not discuss this upcoming change, children will often go into a short- term slump as they reenter school due to not managing their feelings of disappointment.

As with any transition, preparing ahead of time is always a good idea. When situations are thought through, discussed, and planned for, there tends to

we have to do a pre-flight check.” One missed detail could spell disaster. “Was a close call”, when Troy was a junior sailor. Acting as Weight Board Operator, he had gotten a thumbs-up from everyone on the 540 weight he was showing prior to launch, but only Troy noticed the pilot signaling 543.

“Seconds before the shooter hit fire, I suspended it. We need a minimum end speed for each weight, so even a 3 pound difference could cause the bird to go into the water.” For saving a life and a 50 million dollar plane, Troy received a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement medal.

No lift offs happen without the grapes or purple shirts. Leaving his family and best dog Chief in Hazelton, Penn., Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Fuels Airman (ABFAN) Anthony Tombasco puts the “go-go juice in the jets.” This tall, laid-back fuel handling specialist describes his job: “We provide the fuel on time when they need it.

If there’s an emergency, we take the fuel out. The fuel is

be less anxiety generated and a greater likelihood for success. Young children, in particular, are not yet capable of thinking in the abstract and plan ahead and need assistance in understanding what is expected of them and how to reach their goals. Many times parents place responsibilities on their children that they are not able to developmentally manage, which can set their child up for failure. The responsibilities of school are common areas where parents either expect their child to manage themselves or rely on the school to teach them how to both organize and study.

Each January represents opportunities for parents to discuss change and goals for the new year. Parents of both grade and middle put through a series of filters so “it’s clean, clear and bright before it gets to the flight deck.”

“It’s a high-stress environment. You get angry at people you wouldn’t normally get angry with and say things you don’t really mean. But at the end of the day we still get the job done.

The most rigorous thing is being on time and meeting everyone’s schedule.”

“I’m a Fuels repairman.

The Navy is so safe that our fueling hoses have electronic grounding system, so if it’s not electrostatically right, it won’t fuel. It’s tedious repair work because there are wires in each hose. You have to have a complete circuit so you have control of the switch and be able to kill it if something goes wrong.”

Something wrong taught Anthony to pay better attention. “I ate some pretty good jet blast. There’s a certain way to approach an aircraft when it’s turning.

I got a bit of a boost in a direction I wasn’t planning on going.”

Wrong can be unpredictable, like a fuel hose exploding at night, shooting countless gallons of fuel

school students need to sit down with their children prior to beginning school and discuss both expectations and plans on how to help them succeed. Reviewing the importance of school, your faith in their abilities to manage their work, and discussing concepts such as studying, organization, and note taking are all essential in making sure your child feels prepared. Often times after such discussions, the parents and child determine that there may be some areas that need some assistance and this can then be provided. As I have discussed in prior columns, self esteem is generated when the child experiences success. When the child has the tools necessary to manage their life, success is more likely. On the other hand, if your child is doing well, be sure to pat them on the back and tell them that you are happy for them.

Structure is also very important. Children and adolescents who have a daily “routine” tend to do better academically and socially. For example, it is always a good idea to have an afterschool plan which entails: 1) an after-school snack; 2) over the bow, causing the whole flight deck to come together to stop the flow and remove the hazard, using the ship’s fresh water hoses.

Ashton recalls, “Up there, you have to stay scared and go by procedure.

When you start getting complacent – that’s when things start happening. My biggest fear of the trap wire snapping is always in the back of my head.”

“It’s trial by fire,” states Anthony, who was ‘Sailor of the Day’ – hand-picked by the ship’s Captain each day for special privileges and recognition.

In addition to getting aircraft safely around the deck, Ashton still does her first job, sanding and needle-gunning corrosion, finding it therapeutic. Troy’s insuring no foreign object debris (FOD) is on the cat track and the jet blast deflector (JBD) and signal equipment is working. Anthony and his team are communicating to their Grape One Supervisor and following orders, trying to keep head-butting to a minimum during fueling operations.

some time for play or sport; and 3) a scheduled homework time to be performed in a distraction-free environment. Once homework has been completed, a “reward” time can be offered to celebrate getting through their assignments after a long day of school. When children have something to look forward to, they tend to feel less frustrated and seem more motivated.

For the high school student, who can think in the abstract and hopefully understand that their success at this time of their academic life will serve later goals, discussions are also necessary, but inquiring with them about how they plan to manage their school work will make them feel as though you respect their intellect. If, however, you determine that they do not seem able to manage themselves well enough, you will have to help them, as well.

Allowing children and adolescents to “learn from their mistakes” is poor judgment on the part of the parent for the child and adolescent is not yet mature enough to manage their lives independently without parents.

Key Points: 1. Discuss school beginning with your child now to get them ready.

2. Review expectations for the “new” year ahead of time 3. Implement structure to help with success.

4. Make sure they have an academic plan and can perform the required tasks.

5. Get them some help if needed early.

Ask the Plastic Surgeons

By Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD Q. I’ve heard a lot in the news lately about couples having plastic surgery procedures together. What’s the basis for this new trend?

A. We’ve experienced this in our practice too. The rise in couples scheduling plastic surgery procedures at the same time is due partially to the increase in men opting to undergo plastic surgery. It’s become less of a stigma for men to seek plastic surgery procedures, particularly those in their 50s who are competing for jobs in the workforce.

Other less-invasive cosmetic procedures such as Botox® and fillers have also become more acceptable among men.

According to results of a study conducted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released earlier this year, overall plastic surgery procedures by men increased by 2 percent over 2010 in comparison to 2009. However, many male surgical procedures increased significantly; facelifts for men rose 14 percent in 2010 while male liposuction increased 7 percent. 2010 ASPS statistics show that men underwent more than 1.1 million cosmetic procedures, both minimally-invasive and surgical. The majority of the men’s top 10 fastest-growing cosmetic procedures are surgical in nature.

The other segment of the male population we see opting for more plastic surgery are baby-boomers who have retired from a successful career. They want to look as young as they feel and they have the means to do it. It used to be that male cosmetic procedures were typically performed on celebrities and high-profile individuals who were in the limelight, but now this trend is crossing over into a broader demographic.

The benefit of couples scheduling procedures oftentimes during the same week is the satisfaction of going through the rejuvenation process together. They can recover during the same frame and emerge appearing refreshed and revitalized. We see a lot of couples that benefit mentally as well as physically in that they are recharged by their equally youthful appearances. Sometimes both couples want the same procedure such as eyelid surgery or facelifts, while in other

Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD instances the wife may opt for breast implants with a breast lift and the husband may choose liposuction to reduce “love handles”.

It’s very important to make sure you have a comprehensive consultation by a board certified plastic surgeon to determine which procedures are suitable to derive the results you are seeking. In our practice, it’s not uncommon for us to recommend a less invasive procedure such as a facial laser treatment with fillers if we feel a surgical procedure is not necessary. Do your due diligence in checking credentials and professional certifications.

John Smoot, MD, is Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla and Wendell Smoot, MD, has been voted by his peers as Top Doctor in San Diego for five consecutive years. Carol Hollan, MD, is San Diego’s first female board-certified plastic surgeon while Reza Sadrian, MD, is one of very few plastic surgeons dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery.

The practice has over 20 years of tenure in the industry and each is individually board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Any of the physicians can provide consultations on plastic surgery procedures and/or laser and skincare treatments at their Laser and Skincare Center and can be reached at their offices on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla in the Ximed Medical Building by calling (858) 587-9850 or via the web at sandiegoplastiscurgeryclinic.com.

Wall Street Journal names Catherine and Jason Barry #1 team in San Diego, #20 in nation

Kids Korps volunteers at Feeding America loading food for the BackPack Program.

Kids Korps & Starbucks support Feeding in America Backpack Program Kids Korps USA/Teen Korps recently completed a large-scale, county-wide food drive in partnership with Starbucks Coffee Company and Feeding America San Diego. 14 Task Force members (ages 12-18) helped to coordinate the food drive through local Starbucks stores collecting thousands of pounds of food for local families in need.

On Saturday, Dec. 10, more than 100 volunteers (from 5 years and up) arrived at Feeding America San Diego’s warehouse to help sort food, bag beans, and pack up nutritious donations for the BackPack program, which benefits children in the local school system receiving freeand-reduced lunches. The bags go home with school children over the weekend to keep them nourished with healthy food!

Volunteers accomplished a ton during our 3 hour project including: delivering 1,084 pounds of food donations, loading 1,672 BackPack Bags for distribution to local schools, and bagging & labeling 2,800 pounds of pinto beans!!

Along with helping to recruit volunteers and coordinate the packing stations at Saturday’s Feeding America event, the 14 Teen Korps Task Force members worked for two months to lead and implement the larger Feed-aFamily project. Students worked directly with Starbucks store managers and Feeding America Partner recipients to organize the logistics of the food drives, set up donations within their own schools, and utilize their marketing skills by designing posters, writing articles, and promoting the program through social media.

Teen Korps strives to build leadership skills through hands-on service and leadership projects. The

Task Force projects empower our students to REALIZE and UTILIZE their talents, while providing them with the tools and guidance to become active community change makers.

“Students shouldn’t have to wait until they are adults to make a difference,” says Community Outreach Coordinator, Amber Johnston. “They have so much talent and passion to offer right now—and Teen Korps provides the structure and guidance for them to begin their journey!”

A special “Thank You” to our partners: Starbucks Foundation and Feeding America San Diego! Our kids make a difference in the lives of others, and their own, through volunteerism!

By Adam Knees, 4th grader at the Roger Rowe School On Dec. 5, the Rancho Santa Fe Chapter of Kids Korps/ Teen Korps and Student Council wrapped up their school wide Feeding America food collection at the Rancho Santa Fe School. After listening to a guest speaker about the upcoming event on Dec. 10, the students began loading over 30 boxes on the Feeding America Truck. The school placed boxes in every single classroom throughout the month of November and concluded with the very successful event by donating a huge selection of food.

On Dec. 10, Feeding America Feed San Diego will be packing, sorting, taping and labeling food for over 7,000 people who count on Feeding America for their meals. This kicks off one of many holiday giving events the children at Rancho Santa Fe Kids Korps/Teens Korps are implementing. After all said one student, “It is the season to give”.

UPCOMING EVENTS: WHAT: Blind Community Center - Bowling WHEN: Fri. Dec. 30 (9:30 a.m. – 112:30 p.m.)

WHERE: San Diego

REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE San Diego, CA 92122 Fabulous 2 bedroom plus loft spacious town home in La Jolla’s award winning community of Renaissance. Great floor plan, two car attached garage, patio and balconies. Close to UCSD, Salk Institute, Biotech corridor and freeways. Wonderful walkable community with parks, pond, library and recreation center. Great investment opportunity, priced to sell below all comps.

The Catherine and Jason Barry real estate team are a dynamic mother/son duo who are the leaders in the luxury real estate market. The Wall Street Journal named them the #1 team in San Diego and #20 in the nation out of all real estate companies for dollar volume production. What is so impressive is the fact that many of these teams have more than 30 agents who combine their sales numbers. Catherine and Jason manage everything themselves with their office manager Jena Martin and assistants Sam Schlepp and Kristine Dyvad.

The Barrys’ success is a reflection of their philosophy: putting the needs and desires of their clients first, having an unparalleled knowledge of not only the local real estate market but the community as a whole, and a work ethic that can’t be counted in hours. The fact that the company is

Catherine and Jason Barry family owned and operated is advantageous for Catherine and Jason because it pushes them in a more focused manner to produce a better result. Their motto is “you have to believe in what you are selling” and “treat clients like family.”

To dub Catherine and Jason as experts in their field would be an understatement. They continue to sell more high-end real estate than any other team in San Diego — having sold approximately 2 billion in residential sales. Jason and Catherine form the yin and

yang that makes their transactions so unique and successful. Their confidence in each other’s skills and styles creates the working chemistry that makes them so attractive to such a vast number of clients.

Most importantly, the Barrys love what they do and they love the communities where they work and live. Catherine put it best when she said, “Where else can you find a community like ours that has the best amenities (i.e. schools, beaches, golf courses, etc.) with perfect weather all year round?”

Catherine and Jason cherish the fact that they live and sell one of the most desirable areas in the world — a place that will always be in high demand.
