4G cell antennas coming to the RSF village The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved two new Verizon cell phone antennas on top of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District building at its March 3 meeting. The new antennas will provide 4G cell phone service for up to a three-mile radius. 4G represents the fourth generation of wireless service, providing more data and video streaming capabilities, and ultra broadband Internet access for the new smart phones. The existing 64-foot monopole on top of the station has been there since 1998. The plan is to eliminate one of the existing antennas and add two 12-foot-tall antennas, bringing the height up to 67 feet. “I drive up El Fuego all the time and I never noticed it,” said board member Anne Feighner. “It won’t impact the community and it will be a benefit to those who are lucky to have 4G phones.”

RSF School District board approves teacher-student policy regarding social networking sites By Karen Billing The Rancho Santa Fe School District won’t be “friending” anybody on Facebook any time soon. The board of trustees passed a new policy restricting teachers from communicating with students via social networking sites like Facebook. District superintendent Lindy Delaney said the policy is needed as they are becoming more aware about the number of social networking sites and how people are increasingly using them to communicate. Richard Currier, the school district’s attorney, said Rancho Santa Fe is the frontrunner on developing such a policy. “It’s good to put a policy in place because there are items on adult Facebook pages that are not for student-viewing and the relationship between students and staff should be appropriate and should have boundaries,” Delaney said. “I’m not saying that teachers are being inappropriate but that we can prevent [any potential problems] from happening if we have a policy in place.” Principal Kim Pinkerton said that teachers will be more than fine with complying with this policy. “I think it’s common sense,” Pinkerton said. “We (teachers) like to have our private lives too.” The policy comes with precautionary advice that teachers refrain from “friending” former students until they reach the age of 18. Pinkerton said that has been common practice for teachers, that they wait to connect with former students online once they have gone to college. Board trustee Jim Depolo said he can see all the negatives of connecting via Facebook but wondered if they might be eliminating something that could be positive. “I can’t think of one reason why a teacher would need to communicate with a student on Facebook,” Delaney said.

By Karen Billing Some Rancho Santa Fe residents complained about the state of the San Dieguito Reservoir at the March 3 RSF Association board meeting, asking for the board’s help to keep it from looking more like a swamp. “I think it’s a disgrace to this community to see the condition of that reservoir,” said neighbor Sam Ursini. Ursini said that the area has been overtaken by tule, with reeds growing eight to 10 feet tall. “It’s an awful, awful sight,” he said. Ursini said it is essentially a mudflat and when the sun hits the mud, that’s when a horrible stench occurs. Letters sent to the Santa Fe Irrigation District, which jointly owns the reservoir with the San Dieguito Water District, describe the smell as sewer-like and “putrid” and that it is so strong they cannot open windows or doors. Neighbor Greg Gruzdowich said that a group has been attending the Santa Fe Irrigation District meetings to get something done about the problem. “It really deserves some attention,” Gruzdowich said. “I’d like to see the Association get more involved. It’s part of the community and it would be doing a service to check up on this.” According to the irrigation district, they are required by the California Di

Buzz: Strong response to survey RSF Fire District to By President Tom Lang By the March 7 deadline, the Association had received 781 responses to the survey questionnaires representing just over 45 percent of the surveys that were mailed out. As anyone who deals with surveys will Tom Lang tell you, that is a very high response rate. Based on the results, the Long Range Planning Committee will be putting together a list of recommendations and suggestions to help the board establish goals and objectives for the future. It is the same proven process that was undertaken in 1990 and again in 2000. It is interesting to note, in 2000 the-then Long Range Planning Committee made a list of recommendations based on their survey results and out of the top 10 recommendations, nine of them were ultimately implemented to some degree. The number one concern in 2000 was traffic and the first recommendation was to explore ways to address traffic on Del Dios Highway.
As a result, the Association focused a great amount of effort to help reduce traffic and the impact to our community by encouraging the development of roads outside of our community that would provide us relief. Specifically, the improvements to Interstate 15 over Lake Hodges, the construction of the 56 freeway and the opening of San Dieguito Road to Rancho Bernardo all provided immediate and long term relief by offering alternatives to the Del Dios Highway. The traffic counts on Del Dios are actually lower today than they were in 2003 when we first began to monitor traffic flows. The other recommendations from 2000 that were implemented included: increase political involvement, reaffirm the Open Space Policy, complete the natural gas pipeline to the Village area, develop a Village Restoration Plan, continue to support the trail system and enhance and develop landscaped median strips on heavily trafficked roads. It will take several weeks to compile the results of the survey and we will release them as soon as they are available. The Long Range Committee will then develop a list of recommendations and their report should be completed by June of this year.

open new office March 29 The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) announced recently that it will begin conducting business from its new offices beginning March 29. The new location, just off Del Dios Highway at 18027 Calle Ambiente in Rancho Santa Fe, will house both administrative and fire prevention personnel. Business will be conducted as usual at the Fire District’s current office location on El Fuego in Rancho Santa Fe through March 28. Beginning March 29, customers seeking assistance with plan submissions, plan checks, car seat installations, accounts payable, and other administrative or prevention matters will need to go to the new office on Calle Ambiente. Emergency
response personnel assigned to Station 1, also located on El Fuego, will remain at the current site. “We are excited to be making this move,” said Fire Chief Tony Michel. “The new location will allow us to maintain a high level of service for our customers and accommodate the growing needs of our district. While we anticipate a smooth transition, we appreciate the community’s understanding should there be a bump or two along the way.” The Fire District currently operates out of four full-time fire stations and serves the communities within and surrounding Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and 4S-Ranch.
Del Mar seeking labor council’s support of fairgrounds purchase By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer Del Mar is in talks with the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council in hopes of gaining its support for the potential purchase of the fairgrounds and racetrack.
Councilman Mark Filanc, who is a member of the subcommittee dealing with the fairgrounds negotiations, said gaining public support from the labor council could carry a lot of critical weight at the capitol. “[The labor council is]
willing to step out and help us, and this is a big support going forward in this project because they definitely have the ear of the governor and over half of the legislature up in Sacramento,” he told Del Mar City Council during its March 7 See FAIRGROUNDS, page 26

First graders help save RSF School’s Family Week First graders in Jennifer Olson’s class at R. Roger Rowe School wrote a giant-sized letter to the Rancho Santa Fe School board requesting that Family Week vacation be brought back for students. Using techniques learned in their persuasive letter-writing unit at school, they wrote the letter to the board with Olson’s help, which was read by principal Kim Pinkerton at the board’s March 3 meeting. An altered schedule for the construction of the new campus has prevented the school from having the annual Family Week for the last two Februarys. As they were taught, the students’ letter first complimented board members on all the work they do, then described the problem of the lost Family Week (the students wrote they heard the week was fun to have off) and presented the solution that it be brought back. Although the board had already planned to bring it back for the 2011-2012 school year, the first graders’ letter was certainly persuasive — and cute! — Karen Billing
By Joe Tash Customers of the Del Rayo Village shopping center on San Dieguito Road will soon see several new businesses opening their doors. Among the new entries will be Ranch Cycles, Rancho Santa Fe’s first bicycle shop, and a Japanese sushi restaurant, said shopping center owner Charles Covello. Two other businesses, one of them a high-end contractor, will also be coming into the center, Covello said. One of the former tenants opted to leave, while Covello said he declined to renew the leases of several others in a bid to bring in new customers to the center. “The bottom line is this center is transforming into something that’s better serving the community,” Covello said. Del Rayo Village is located at 16079 San Dieguito Road in Rancho Santa Fe. The center includes just under 60,000 square feet of retail space, and has spaces for 25 businesses. The center was built in 1990, and Covello purchased it in 1994. “The general feeling is upbeat. We’re excited about the new tenants coming in,” Covello said. The bike shop will be located in a space that formerly housed Timmons Galleries, which moved to a new location on Paseo Delicias in the Rancho Santa Fe village. Casey Rice, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and one of three partners in the new venture, said he expects the bike shop to open within a couple of weeks. He said workers were putting the finishing touches on the interior and the shop is beginning to receive its inventory. Two of the partners are former bicycle racers. The new Japanese restaurant will occupy a spot where a Mexican restaurant had operated.

RSF Tennis Club professional receives ‘Pro of the Year’ award The United States Professional Tennis Association, San Diego Division, held its annual meeting and awards dinner on Saturday, March 5, at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club professional Dophie Poiset received this year’s award as the “Pro of the Year.” Poiset is a native San Diegan, and began playing tennis at age 8 at Morley Field. As a junior tournament player, Poiset became ranked in the top 10 nationally, and has several national titles to her credit. Poiset chose college over the international tour, and played #1 singles at San Diego State University. Poiset credits Ben Press, professional for 30 years at Hotel Del Coronado, with developing her as a player, and mentoring her as a young teaching professional. Poiset began her professional teaching career at 18, giving group lessons to children for the San Diego Park & Recreation Department at Morley Field. Poiset says she worked her way through college giving tennis lessons for the recreation department, receiving a degree in history and education. After college Poiset taught school for several years, then went back to her first love — tennis. Poiset has excelled at varied teaching and coaching endeavors. She worked at Ed Collins Tennis College for 10 years, was varsity women’s tennis coach at U.S. International University for two years, and coached the girls tennis team at Torrey Pines High School from 1982-84. In 1984 Poiset joined the professional staff at Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club as the director of the ladies & children’s programs and has been there in that position ever since — 27
Retired Navy Captain Steve Kappes, secretary of the United States professional Tennis Association, San Diego Division, with Dophie Poiset. years. Along with her teaching responsibilities, Poiset also became manager of the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club in 2010. She oversees club operations, social programs, coordinates the women’s and children’s programs, and oversees maintenance of the 10 hard-courts and two clay courts. Poiset thinks of herself as an “old fashioned” tennis pro. As a traditionalist, she emphasizes the importance of etiquette and sportsmanship above winning, and tries to help students learn to carry on the time honored traditions of tennis — polite behavior in manners and dress, courtesy and
respect toward opponents. Along with her professional responsibilities, Poiset donates her time to local tennis endeavors. She has served on the San Diego Division USPTA Board of Directors since 2003, and served two terms as president in 2009 and 2010. Poiset has represented the SD Division at USPTA national conferences for the past four years. As president of the hosting division, she helped organize & implement the speaker introduction schedule at the World Conference in La Quinta, Calif., last September. As division president, Poiset presided over a move forward for the San Diego Division in the hiring an executive director to professionally organize & manage our USPTA division. Poiset is also currently serving as a board member on the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame. Poiset says she feels lucky in life to have found a career where it is a joy to go to work each day, and says she is truly honored to be selected this year’s United States Tennis Association “Pro of the Year.”

RSF resident Phyllis Paul receives top award from Congress of History The Congress of History, at its 46th Annual Conference held March 4-5, honored Phyllis Paul of Rancho Santa Fe the Ben Dixon Award, the highest award given to an individual. She was Phyllis Paul recognized for her involvement and advocacy in historic preservation in Rancho Santa Fe. (Dixon was the original founder of the Congress.) The Congress of History holds an annual conference of academic lectures on San Diego and regional history. This year’s theme was: They Made a Difference: The Unsung History of Women in the San Diego Region Paul is a California native and a graduate from Stanford University. She and her husband and children moved to Rancho Santa Fe in the early 1970s. Paul had a keen interest in historic homes and sites and fell in love with the romanticism and rich history of Rancho Santa Fe, the original Rancho San Dieguito land grant to Don Juan Maria Osuna. Early on she became involved in the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. Her first project with the society was to conduct a survey of historical homes and commercial buildings mostly designed by master archi-
tect Lilian Rice. The society was also responsible for getting the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant on the California State register in 1989. In the summer of 1990 the Society and the Association invited the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) team from Washington, DC, to spend two months documenting their surveyed buildings, which resulted in the National Register listing of several buildings in the Village. The project was captured in their elegant book, titled “Rancho Santa Fe: A California Village,” now in its 5th edition. Paul founded the Historical Preservation Committee of the Rancho Santa Fe Association, which continued surveying and monitoring properties in the Ranch. She also authored a guide of significant historic buildings, Historic Homes & Buildings in Rancho Santa Fe. The cradle of history of the Ranch, the Osuna Adobe, circa 1830s, was threatened by overdevelopment. Paul led the charge for the Association to acquire the site from the developer with the intent to preserve and interpret its history. She has served on the Osuna Committee for the last five years, and is in the process of organizing the Osuna Amigos Foundation, which will be the guiding entity for funding and the restoration of this significant adobe. Without her constant personal attention to the historic resources of Rancho Santa Fe much would lost and forgotten forever. Paul has been the conscience of the Ranch and its history for more than four decades.
TPHS wrestling team’s season ends after late arrival
By Karen Billing Torrey Pines wrestling team grapplers were missing from last weekend’s state championships. It’s not known whether any of the Falcon athletes would have competed at the meet as they were disqualified from the qualifying San Diego Section Masters Championships tournament on Feb. 25-26 due to the team’s arriving late to morning weigh-ins. Torrey Pines tried to appeal the decision to keep their wrestlers out, but Masters officials denied their appeal. “One wrestler probably would’ve qualified for state but he never got the opportunity,” said parent Kelly Hamilton of junior standout Luke Maffett. Phone calls were not returned for comment from Coach Malachi Walker, Torrey Pines Athletic Director Anne Meigs and Principal Brett Killeen. Several team parents also did not answer requests for comment. Per the meet rules, the teams needed to arrive by 7 a.m. or they would be locked out. Some reports said the team arrived 15 minutes late, while Hamilton said they did not arrive until 7:30 a.m. The kids were at Torrey Pines High at 6 a.m. as instructed, with the bus scheduled to leave at 6:10 a.m. for Canyon Crest Academy, less than three miles away. Hamilton said that Coach Walker told parents he overslept and arrived around 6:20 or 6:30 a.m. The team still had to be let in to get their equipment from the locker room before they left. Hamilton was waiting in the stands on Friday morning to watch Torrey Pines and was puzzled when they did not show. He went home expecting an apology e-mail or call but parents did not hear from the coach until a meeting on Monday, Hamilton said. At that meeting, Hamilton said Walker then apologized for the circumstances. Hamilton said it wasn’t the first time the team was late and missed a meet due to being late. “My expectations of a coach are not many: Provide a safe environment, treat everyone equally, be a good role model and get the kids to every meet on time,” Hamilton said. “He let the team down.” The 30-member team included just one senior, Kevin Bath, as well as a female wrestler, Ruby Lopez. In one of their last meets against Westview in February, Maffett and sophomore Martin Suaste both had three takedowns in their varsity team victories. The team also performed well at a meet against Mt. Carmel in January: Varsity sophomore Parker Sullivan had four takedowns and three escapes in his win. Varsity freshman Tim Gleeson and Maffett also recorded wins along with junior varsity members sophomore Joshua Kim and freshmen Danny Cox and Keeghan Grodi. “For the younger wrestlers, (Masters) is just a chance to compete at CIF championships,” Hamilton said. “It’s what the whole season builds up to...It’s just unfortunate we weren’t there. How much the kids improved over the season, we don’t know.”

Science field trip students witness birthing of a baby seal
RSF resident teams up with professional athletes to fight childhood obesity
Mrs. Valentine’s 2nd grade class at R. Roger Rowe School participated in a field study on March 3 at the La Jolla Children’s Pool. The class went to observe the harbor seals with the school’s Scripps Ocean Partnership liaison, Roberta Dean. The students used their field study journals to take notes and draw pictures about how the harbor seals use the Children’s Pool as their sandy beach habitat. They were lucky enough to see a mother seal who just gave birth to her new pup on the sandy beach! Then they observed her nudge her newborn into the water for its very first swim. This field study was part of the Integrated Science program at the school, funded through the generous donations of parents and community partners to the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation.
A unique partnership was created when three Brown University students teamed up with ‘nPLAY Foundation to raise money to fight childhood obesity. Jeff Lipton, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, connected with fellow Brown students Allison Galer and Lex Rofes to create a NCAA Basketball Tournament bracket pool competition to raise money to fight childhood obesity. The competition is called March to Health and has been approved by the NCAA, the Ivy League and Brown University. Participants are entered into the bracket pool after making a minimum donation of $5 to the ‘nPLAY Foundation. To participate, visit www.marchtohealth.com. ‘nPLAY, an anti-childhood obesity non-profit, is a coalition of 35 athletes from 15 sports and is led by chairwoman Jennie Finch. Other athletes involved are Grant Hill, Paul Pierce, Evander Holyfield, Summer Sanders, Kenny Anderson, Marie Ferdinand-Harris, and Shannon Miller. The organization’s primary focus is to raise money that can be directly put back into schools to help them meet the criteria of the HealthierUS School Challenge. Finch says, “This is a really great day, not only for ‘nPLAY but for the fight against childhood obesity. Allison, Jeff and Lex are phenomenal role models for both their generation as well as for adults. They not only recognize the problem but are aggressively acting to raise money to help fight it. We are extremely honored to be working with them.” Jeff, a graduate of Earl Warren Middle School and Torrey Pines High School, is currently a sophomore at Brown University. At Brown, Jeff plays on the varsity football team, covers sports for a radio station in Providence, RI, writes for the Brown Daily Herald, and help found the Brown Sports Business group. In addition, Jeff is co-chair of the Ivy Sports Business Network. The idea for the March to Health bracket pool to team up with ‘nPLAY happened when Jeff connected two fellow Brown students, Lex and Allison. Jeff dreamed up making the idea into a large, nationwide campaign and wanted to team up with other students. States Lipton, “It has been a dream come true to work with professional athletes to help fight childhood obesity. Lex, Allison, and I are honored to work with ‘nPLAY.”

He and his father, both of whom didn’t like public speaking, a definite asset for preachers, broke with family tradition by becoming physicians. Today, his father is a retired pathologist and he — Dr. Heinz Hoenecke Jr. — is a Scripps Clinic orthopaedic surgeon, head team physician for the San Diego Padres, team physician for the U.S. Ski Team, an avid pilot and a researcher/inventor recognized for his breakthrough research in the treatment of shoulder injuries. Hoenecke Jr. presented
his research findings gathered over the past eight years to this year’s annual national conference of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons last month in San Diego. He unveiled his latest contribution, a new iPad app developed by his research team at Scripps to help Padres’ trainers monitor the day-to-day health of Padres’ pitchers, and revisited last year’s introduction of a modified Nintendo Wii gaming device to digitally monitor range-of-motion in pitchers’ shoulders. Both are ‘firsts’ in Major League baseball sport medicine We interviewed the

54-year-old surgeon in his ocean-view home. “Find a problem, fix a problem and make a difference,” Hoenecke says. “That’s what I am trying to accomplish with the research and inventions.” Hoenecke was born in Kittery, Maine, where his father was serving in the Navy. He was the second eldest of four children. He attended high school in Phoenix, Arizona, and showed an early talent for things scientific and mechanical. He enjoyed building things and fixing cars, minibikes and motorcycles. “If I hadn’t become a doctor,” he ventured, “I would have liked to have been an engineer, but I’m not sure I’m smart enough.” Fortunately, he said, orthopaedics has a mechanical element to it. “Orthopaedics has the ability of fixing things. If somebody comes in with a problem, you can mechanically repair what’s wrong and that’s very gratifying.” He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona, Tucson, 1979; his M.D. from the University of Arizona, 1983; his internship in general surgery (1983-84) and residency in orthopaedic surgery (1984-88), also from the University of Arizona; and his sports medicine fellowship at the Steadman/ Hawkin Sports Medicine Clinic in Vail, Colorado, 1990-91. After working in private practice for several years in San Diego, Hoenecke joined Scripps Clinic in 1997. “A lot of my [early] shoulder research has been in … shoulder replacements, artificial shoulders,” he said. ‘That’s how I got into the research initially because I was seeing in the operating room that some of the shoulder prostheses weren’t fitting exactly right.” At the time, most joint replacement surgeries were performed on lower, weightbearing extremities such as knees and hips. The medical community believed the strategy for replacing lower extremity joints, using the
Heinz R. Hoenecke Jr., M.D. with Ciba Photo: Jon Clark shape and position of the bones to assess mechanics, would also apply to upper extremities such as the shoulder. “We felt these traditional beliefs were off base,” he said, “because in the shoulder, muscles are more important than bones in transmitting mechanical forces.” But he had to prove it. Working with Scripps Clinic’s biomechanics orthopaedic research lab, he and his colleagues, using the same type of software used for testing stress points in bridges and buildings, developed a sophisticated computer-animated shoulder simulator that could look at cat scans in 3-D. Hoenecke credits Dr. Darryl D’Lima, the M.D., Ph.D. director of the Scripps Clinic orthopaedic research laboratories, with being “the brain behind everything I tell you that has the word ‘computer’ in it.” The computerized program measures how much stress is put on muscles dur-
ing various motions. “That made us realize that the muscles are the major factor for proper alignment [of a prosthesis] in the shoulder, whereas in the knees and hips, it’s the bones.” They found that there was a problem in determining the best way to align the prosthesis in the body. The breakthrough came when they were able prove that the traditional methods of assessing the alignment for knee and hip replacements doesn’t work the same in the shoulder. Knowledge gained from the research has enabled Scripps to develop an expertise in positioning and refining the alignment of shoulder prostheses. The 3-D shoulder simulator model also allows doctors to perform “virtual surgeries” on a laptop computer the night before performing a surgery. Hoenecke performs about 60 shoulder replacements each year. Arthritis and injuries are the major
causes requiring shoulder implants. Hoenecke is now in his third season as head physician with the Padres. In pitchers, he said, it’s very rare to see arthritis in the shoulder, he said. “They do wear out their tendons, but rarely do they develop arthritis in their shoulders.” Most of the energy for pitching a baseball comes from the hips and the shoulder acts more like a funnel, if the pitcher is doing it right.” One of the most important things to monitor in a pitcher, he said, is his range of motion, how much rotation he has in the shoulder. Recording each pitcher’s range of motion manually with someone moving the pitcher’s arm and another person recording the data was labor-intensive and time-consuming, Hoenecke indicated. “So I thought there must be an easier way to collect more range of motion data more frequently so I could detect their changes over time,” he said. “So I got with my dad who lives a few blocks away and in his workshop, got some stainless steel, and built a device to measure internal and external range of motion in a shoulder.” The device was constructed so a pitcher could rest his arm in it and rotate his arm. Hoenecke velcroed a digital woodworking inclinometer onto it to automatically measure the range of motion. Then with the help of an engineer who enjoys baseball, he improved the device even further to make it lighter and more mobile, and then with his researchers as Scripps hooked the device up to a computer to produce a read-out on the range of motion data. He hasn’t come up with a name for it yet, he said. “If you can think of good name for it,” he laughed, “it’ll make my life easier.” A further development came when he and his partner, Dr. Jan Fronek, former Padres’ head physician for many years, figured out that a Nintendo Wii gaming See SURGEON, page 26

RSF Girl Scout receives boost from Willis Allen agents in surpassing her cookie sales goal Significant number of cookies sold to be sent to troops overseas By Diane Y. Welch It’s that time of year again: Girl Scouts cookie-selling season. While Thin Mints, Samoas and Trefoils may be many people’s idea of heaven, for one entrepreneurial Girl Scout, Roni Nelson, 10, they are a means to not only support her local troop members, but also a sweet treat for U.S. troops deployed overseas through her participation in Operation Thin Mint. As part of her campaign to sell 3,000 boxes of cookies, she attended a morning business meeting at the Willis Allen Real Estate offices in Rancho Santa Fe and gave a professional presentation to more than 25 agents there. Roni left that meeting with orders for 58 boxes. “She is a sales dynamo,� said Gary Wheeler, branch manager for the Willis Allen Real Estate offices in Rancho Santa Fe. In Operation Thin Mint, started by the Girl Scouts San Diego-Imperial Council nine years ago, the Girl Scouts collect tax deductible donations from people in lieu of them buying the cookies.
Girl Scout Roni Nelson, center, who received a lot of support from WIllis Allen Real Estate agents (also in photo above) in selling more than 3,000 boxes of cookies. “Instead, the money is donated to purchase boxes of several varieties of cookies which the Girl Scouts ship overseas to the deployed military all over the world,� said Beth Nelson, Roni’s mom. There is a shipping company that donates the shipping so every dollar that someone donates for cookies actually goes to buy the cookies, she explained. On the evening of March 2, Roni passed her goal as she sold her 3,027th box of cookies at a table outside of the Vons supermarket at Solana Beach. Roni is a member of Troop 1096, the 5th grade troop at R. Roger Rowe School in Rancho Santa Fe. Her
troop leader is Seana Montes. This is Roni’s fourth year in Girl Scouts. Twenty percent of her sales, 600 boxes, will be part of Operation Thin Mint. “Which is quite a lot for one girl to collect,� said Beth Nelson. Cookie sales end on March 13. It is anticipated that this year Roni may well be the top seller in the county. “Although we won’t know until the selling ends and all the troop leaders report their sales after the closing date,� said Beth Nelson. Because of her stellar sales, Roni, will take part in “Operation Thin Mint Sendoff,� which she attended last year as the sixth top cookie seller in the
county. The VIP celebration — which will take place May 7 on the USS Midway Museum — last year attracted more than 2,300 Girl Scouts, family members, and cookie customers. Part of the recognition for the Girl Scouts is a helicopter ride to the Midway. This year, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, military VIPs, and Girl Scouts CEO Jo Dee Jacob will be in attendance with other Girl Scouts cheering on. When asked about Operation Thin Mint and how meaningful it is for troops, Roni said, “I think it’s important because the cookies help them remember what is was like to be back home and to not
Roni Nelson be fighting.� The Girl Scouts also send letters along with the cookies. “I wrote a letter to a guy in Kuwait and I got one back, too. He asked me why my nickname was Roni,� she said. Her real name is Veronica. Gary Wheeler said he has great admiration for Roni who gave a well-prepared oral presentation to his agents. “Willis Allen was happy to support Roni because of the contributions that she is making to our troops. Her drive, energy and goal setting was inspirational,� he said. “We can all learn from her.�

Local mother/yoga instructor helps young girls boost self-confidence By Karen Billing Local mom Jamie Dicken is doing all she can to help mothers find balance and encourage young “tween” girls to be healthy and happy. Her mother-daughter yoga program “Believe In She” aims to help boost self-confidence and grow stronger bonds between moms and their girls. Not even a year old, the organization’s classes in Solana Beach and La Jolla have been filling up and their March 3 event, Party for a Purpose, raised $7,500 for City of Hope, a non-profit that supports cancer, diabetes and AIDS research. “I know that I’m making a difference, that a need is there,” Dicken said. “It brings tears to my eyes. I’m so grateful.” Dicken, who also works as the vice president of a digital media company, is a La Jolla native who moved to this area 11 years ago. The Believe In She movement really started when she started to take her longtime yoga habit more seriously. At 40, she really started looking at what she wanted for the next stage of her life and she started training to become a certified yoga instructor just for herself—to really understand the philosophy behind the movements. It was around that time when her daughter Juliette was approaching her tween years. “I was watching my daughter and I just saw this shift in her when she turned 10,” Dicken said. “Suddenly my confident, beautiful, amazing daughter was hiding in big sweatshirts, not making eye contact with adults. And I would listen to her friends say things like ‘I’m fat,’ and ‘I’m not smart.’” Dicken realized that yoga had done so much to keep her life balanced and centered—why couldn’t that work for 10-year-old girls as well? Through her research she found that young girls’ self esteem peaks at the age of 9 and then “takes a nose dive” and she was determined to do something to shift that self esteem cycle. She became a certified life coach and started Believe In She in October of last year.
Jaime and Juliette Dicken run Believe In She together. Believe in She is broken into four, eight-week sessions looking at topics such as body, voice and power. The classes include 45 minutes of mother/daughter yoga, led by both Jaime and Juliette, as Juliette was also certified as a yoga instructor for children 8-13. The class also includes about 30 minutes of discussion on topics like body image, friendships and healthy choices, really allowing a mother-daughter bond to strengthen. Each class is capped with a 15-20 minute art project—in one class the girls made eye pillows using socks filled with rice. A big part of Believe In She is journaling. The girls are prompted for journaling exercises, such as writing about what they are grateful for or what their dreams are. They learn movements that help express what they are feeling, like headstands when they feel joyful and breathing
poses for when they are more contemplative. The journals also provides them a “dumping ground” to get out all of their thoughts and feelings. “I teach the girls to be able to really let our all their emotions when they feel they can’t talk to anyone else about it,” Dicken said. The girls also learn to set their daily intentions, such as intuition, “I am heard” and compassion, “I am loved.” Believe In She has a special necklace that moms and daughters can wear—they pick the jewel that symbolizes that intention and lock it into the heart of their necklace, giving them a reminder throughout the day. Two series of classes are running right now at Akasha Yoga in La Jolla and the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle at the Solana Beach Boys and Girls Club. Another class had a full waiting list. Dicken is also planning a girls leadership camp for the summer and her son Spencer is already pushing for a Believe In He. The best part about Believe In She is that Dicken was able to find her daughter again. Through the program her daughter has gained the confidence to lead discussions and yoga and at the Party for a Purpose event last week even spoke in front of a room full of people when before she sometimes couldn’t look people in the eye. “I was so proud of her,” said Dicken. “She walks tall, she wears clothes that fit her and she’s so confident and happy…I really created this for my daughter but if I’m able to help a wider group of girls then it will be more successful than I ever imagined. And if I’m able to start a movement to help girls all over and shift that cycle, it would be a dream come true.” To learn more about Believe In She, visit facebook. com/BelieveInShe or email Jaime Dicken at Jamie@believeinshe.com.

‘Springtime at the Valenti Ranch’ Unique auction items offered at RSF children’s hospital fundraiser fundraiser to be held in RSF March 28 By Cameron Leigh James Community support has been tremendous for “Stand Up for Rady Children’s Peckham Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders, an Evening With Dana Carvey,” the fundraising event hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary. “We are grateful for the overwhelming response from the business community, which has donated hundreds of items, services and unique experiences to be auctioned at the gala,” said 2011 gala chair Cindy Leonard. “Many of our auction donors answer the call to donate year after year, and it is only due to their unstinting generosity that we are able to raise much-needed funds for the hospital.” The annual fundraiser being held at The Grand Del Mar on Saturday night, March 12, begins with cocktails and a variety of delectable food stations to choose from during the silent auction. “The committee has worked diligently to secure hard-to-get, unusual items,” said auction chair Sandra den Uijl. “We have some amazing items in our Live and Mini-Live auctions this year and over 125 packages in our silent auction.” Live and min-live auction packages include a three-night stay in Napa Valley with dinners, tours, tastings and wine from some of Napa’s top wineries including Hall, Jaffe Estate, and Cavus. Other trips include a South African safari; a three-night stay at the One&Only in the Bahamas; a week stay at a Big Bear Lake home; and a five-night stay for four at historic guest ranch H F Bar in Wyoming. Exclusive packages include four VIP tickets to a Taylor Swift concert; premier seats and a private meet and greet with a LA Kings player; a week stay in a private, beachfront home along the north shore of Kauai; and a private dinner for six with Barbara and Dick Enberg catered by Barry Layne of Coasting Catering. Oh my! Unique entertainment options include a private yacht charter; dinner for eight at the estate of Pam & Gary Jaffe in St. Helena; a seven-course, wine-paired dinner for eight in the wine cellar at The Grand Del Mar; and a dinner for 25 catered by Lance Roll (The Flavor Chef) with a five-vintage vertical tasting of Cavus hosted by the winery owners – all while listening to

Jenny Craig, RSF’s Marty and Pam Wygod partner to share mutual racing passion By Julie Sarno Local resident Jenny Craig recently announced that she had sold a part interest in 4-year-old racehorse Twirling Candy. Mrs. Craig and her late husband, Sid, were the founders the weight loss centers which bear her name. Twirling Candy races in the name of the Craig Family Trust and, now four, he is trained by John Sadler. Twirling Candy has won six races from eight starts, including a fifth-place finished over the weekend in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap at Santa Anita. Last month, Mrs. Craig sold a part interest in Twirling Candy to Marty and Pam Wygod and to Will Farish of Lane’s End Farm near Versailles, Kentucky, where the horse wills tand at stud at the end of his racing career. Terms were not disclosed. The Wygods have been prominent in thoroughbred racing and breeding circles for more than three decades. Mrs. Craig and her late husband, Sid, enjoyed racing horses so much that they bought
a large training center in Rancho Santa Fe and named it Rancho Paseana, after the two-time champion mare they raced. The story began nearly ten years ago when Mrs. Craig and her late husband bought Candy Ride, a champion in Argentina. Candy Ride won the 2003 $1 Million Pacific Classic (G1). Candy Ride was retired to stud at Lane’s End and the success of his progeny on the racetrack has not been overlooked. A yearling colt by Candy Ride sold for $300,000 at a sale in Kentucky in January. Mrs. Craig currently has two other stakes-winning Candy Ride offspring, Chocolate Candy and Sidney’s Candy. “I look forward to sharing a partnership with Marty Wygod who is a friend of 20 years,” commented Mrs. Craig. “As for Will Farish, he has the finest breeding farm in Kentucky. I have great respect for his knowledge and treatment of horses. Since Candy Ride stands at Lane’s End, it’s fitting that his son should do so, too. I’m looking forward

A retirement plan is critical to a successful & worry-free retirement “During his or her lifetime, the typical American will work more than 90,000 hours to earning a living, and spend less than 10 hours in preparing a retirement plan,” says Richard Ina, Senior Vice President–Investments and Senior Portfolio Manager with UBS Financial Services Inc. in San Diego. “Now consider that in the United States, 10,000 people will turn 65 every single day for the next 19 years. From a retirement perspective, this underprepared demographic group may have significant ramifications for our economy. “Certainly for each of them, a proper financial plan could spell the difference between wealth and poverty, between living well and just getting by.” Planning can be done by an individual without professional assistance, of course. But as Ina notes, “Our clients have investments in at least 23 different asset classes. Between that variety and the uncertainty of the global and U.S. economies, you may be better off teaming up with a financial industry professional who can make sense of all your options and, in particular, is well-versed in risk management strategies.” Ina has focused on retirement and investment planning since 1987. He graduated from John Carroll University in Cleveland, OH with an accounting degree and worked for Deloitte and Touche auditing pension plans. “UBS is one of the largest wealth management
firms in the world. Its resources — including leading intellectual capital such as our world-class research—are some of the most extensive on the Street,” Ina says. “Ultimately our goal is to help each client negotiate life events and Richard M. Ina transitions, plan for their children’s education, retire comfortably and transfer wealth effectively.” Ina will be hosting an informative seminar on retirement and estate planning and other issues—attendees will be able to signup for a complimentary report designed to help them structure an investment program best suited to their needs. There will also be a presentation on living trusts from a local attorney. The workshop will be conducted on Wednesday, March 16, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. or March 22 from 4 p.m-5:30 p.m. at the UBS office at 12220 El Camino Real, 4th floor, in Carmel Valley.

opted to rest him and point him for the Strub Series, major races for his division at Santa Anita. Since then, Twirling Candy won the G1 Malibu Stakes in December on opening day at Santa Anita. In that victory he broke Spectacular Bid’s 30-year-old 7-furlong track record, going the distance in 1:19.70. In Twirling Candy’s next race, his first start in 2011, he won the G2 Strub Stakes. In the Santa Anita Handicap, Twirling Candy neared the lead in the stretch but was bounced around like a pinball in an arcade game between Game on Dude and second-place finisher Setsuko, and faded to fifth. “What more can I say about Twirling Candy who has done all that has been asked of him and more,” said Mrs. Craig. “He runs with such grace and strength and he has impressed us from the time he was a yearling. Everyone at Rancho Paseana where he was first trained would say things like ‘This one is special” and it seems they were right.”

to the Association board that “We just want to make it possible for old friends to continue to maintain their relationship with the club.” The meeting on the 17th was an example of a special interest group railroading an issue through before it could be presented before the whole community, to be voted on. It seems to me that the issue is property ownership. It has always been considered a privilege to join the Golf Club with one of the pre-requisites being you had to be a homeowner in the covenant. Now with the passage of this new ruling ownership of property in the covenant is no longer a requirement. This opens up the question that was raised at the meeting “what about condominium owners who live in the covenant, pay their assessments, taxes and obey the rules and would like to join the Golf Club. They do not have a vote for any covenant business.” At present we the condominium owners are unable to join the club or vote. Only two condos in each unit have the membership privileges. I’m not sure why that rule was ever put in place unless the Association was afraid they would be overrun with condominiums at much less value than a single home. However, it is clear that the number of condos to be built in the Ranch has reached its capacity or very close to it. The whole concept is grossly unfair. We know people who have paid $2,000,000 for their condos and still cannot become golf members. Equally unfair is the fact that when you try to sell your condominium you can’t because you don’t have golf membership privileges available to you. At the meeting, Mr. Wolf, a 20-year resident who had to leave the Ranch and the Golf Club, stated “our situation changed” and he would very much like to play with his friends and be part of the club. He stated, “it is really sad.” What I think is really sad is that I have never had the opportunity to become a member to play golf with my friends after living here 20 years. I think it is time to give the community as a whole the opportunity to express their will by having a vote on both issues. 1. Continue club membership after you move out of the Covenant. 2. Changing the by-laws so that condominium owners have the opportunity to become Golf Club members and also allow them the ability to vote in Association matters. Cordially, Bill McNally
March ‘Coffee and Conversation’ to be held at RSF Golf Club If retirement planning were a science it might be called “Riskology.” That’s because investing for retirement involves a number of risks. How much should I invest each year? What’s my ultimate goal? How do I turn those savings into reliable income that won’t run out? Steve Kurtz will introduce a new way to think about retirement planning — not in terms of how much to accumulate, rather, by considering your unique retirement income needs and reviewing strategies for generating income to meet those needs. We’re living longer than ever these days and that’s good, of course. But while you may not consider a long life to be a retirement issue, it just may be the single most important factor to plan for; a “risk” that affects every other challenge to a successful retirement income plan. Come listen to Steve Kurtz speak on Thursday March 17, from 8-9 a.m. To attend “Coffee and Conversation,” contact Deana Carter at (858) 756-1566 or dcarter@carterfinancial.biz. The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is located at 5827 Via De La Cumbre in Rancho Santa Fe.
Education Matters Education decimation By Marsha Sutton Continuing with last week’s theme, more briefs have accumulated that are educationally noteworthy, mostly having to do with the frightful decimation of the education budget in Sacramento. Cuts for education A preliminary list of budget cuts to be considered if Gov. Jerry Brown’s tax extensions fail was recently prepared the state’s Legislative Analyst’s Office. Those cuts affecting education were compiled and distribMarsha Sutton uted by School Services of California, a prominent education advocacy organization. This list includes a number of K-12 education programs, including: eliminate the class-size reduction incentive program for grades kindergarten through third (saving nearly $1.3 billion), reduce general-purpose funding by 2.2 percent (saving over $800 million), and end state support for hometo-school transportation (saving $500 million). The LAO also lists possible cuts for community colleges and the two state university systems. Items include reducing personnel costs, raising tuition, decreasing equipment funding, lowering enrollment, and limiting grant eligibility. “While the LAO’s list provides an interesting basis for discussion, we do not regard it as a proposal or even a speculative prediction of things to come,” states School Services of California. Rather, SSC said the list provides a description of possible cuts that California residents might expect under a worst-case scenario. Nevertheless, the list is a sobering reminder that hard times for education are far from over. Letting go of class-size reduction The LAO, according to School Services of California, surveyed school districts throughout the state and found that, despite gigantic state subsidies, K-3 class sizes on average have increased from 20 or 21 in 2008-2009 to about 25 students per class in 2010-2011. Class sizes in other grades have grown from 28 to 31 students over the same period of time. Even though the state pays a huge chunk of money to districts for the K-3 CSR program, it still doesn’t cover costs. As a result, many districts are choosing to forgo the state CSR money and increase class sizes to save dollars, which means needing fewer teachers. In a story last fall by The Hechinger Report, an independently funded nonprofit news organization affiliated with Teachers College at Columbia University, statistics indicate that “school personnel were hired at twice the rate that student enrollment grew from 1999 to 2007.” According to the report, experts are predicting that “the struggling economy is expected to reverse a decades-long trend toward smaller classes.” California’s class-size reduction program, now the largest in the nation, was launched in 1996 at a cost of $20 billion. But research shows “no gains in achievement attributable to smaller classes,” the report stated. Nevertheless, the program remains enormously popular. Parents “intuitively believe that small class sizes will allow more individual attention,” said Stanford University emeritus professor Michael Kirst in the report. In the Del Mar Union School District, a teachers’ contract clause (Article 18) guarantees that class sizes in kindergarten through third grade cannot exceed 20 students, without penalty. For each student in excess of 20, the district must pay the teacher $20 per day per student for a maximum of 15 days, at which time other relief measures can be implemented. But, according to the district, if the state reduces or eliminates funding for the K-3 CSR program, “the association and the district agree to re-negotiate the terms of Article 18 in a timely manner.” The DMUSD is one of the only districts with class-size restrictions in its labor contract. Prediction: K-3 class-size reduction funding will disappear – if not next year, then soon after. It is by far the single

RSF Education Foundation: Integrated science a valued part of curriculum As we move into the third trimester with spring just around the corner, the students at R. Roger Rowe are abuzz about the exciting science programs happening on campus, including the upcoming Science Discovery Day on April 8. Science is an essential component of the curriculum thanks to the generous support of the RSF Education Foundation, and is yet another star in its Five-Star Education program. Full-time Science Specialists Teach at Every Level The RSF Education Foundation provides for five talented full-time Science Specialists who teach kindergarten through eighth grade. The faculty believe that, “Science is the world around us; it is the future.” The Integrated Science curriculum embodies that philosophy, bringing to life the relativity of science to each child. The Ranch School’s Science program is augmented with unique programs including the Scripps Ocean Partnership, Science Discovery Day, and the new Tech 21 Science Lab. Science Program Benefits from Partnership with Scripps Children at the school benefit from an amazing partnership with the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The year-long Ocean Study provides concept integration into the core K-8 curriculum that includes marine habitats, field studies, visits to Scripps and the Birch Aquarium, and visits from science researchers. It also includes Ocean Celebration, a week-long exploration of ocean habitats using curriculum from the UC Berkeley Lawrence Hall of Science. Additionally, K-4 Science Specialist Anne Wallace teaches an Ocean Exploration class that allows students to participate in project and problem based learning and innovation. “Some of my favorite class projects this year have been: building drifters to measure ocean currents, creating podcasts of ocean environment Issues and conducting live investigations of crayfish and plankton,” says Wallace. Science Specialist Kelly Stine has a unique perspective. “I have had the opportunity to teach science here for the past 8 years, but before that I worked as an educator at Birch Aquarium at Scripps, teaching students from all around San Diego County,” she says. “It was a known fact in our office that if RSF students were coming, we could plan to teach 1-2 grade levels higher than we would for any other school! The students were so well informed in marine science and science in general. Now, as their 7th grade science teacher I see just how educated the students are! I am able to teach meiosis, genetics, cell biology, human physiology, etc. at a much deeper level.” Science Discovery Day Another Unique Program Just around the corner is the exciting 19th annual Science Discovery Day. Students can experience different aspects of science through rotating modules that include workshops with guest lecturers and hands-on experiments. The 1st graders will be working with the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, exploring the science behind “weather watching”. The 4th graders, also in conjunction with Reuben H. Fleet, will participate in an “Electric Avenue” workshop. They will perform “shocking” experiments to understand the relationship between electricity and magne-

One more example of the fun programs on Science Discovery Day is the 5th graders study of DNA, where students simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting to learn how DNA makes us unique and how it can be used to solve crimes, a very cool area of science today. Integrated Science Program Emphasizes Technology and Innovation The Tech 21 Science Lab at R. Roger Rowe is an innovative science and technology laboratory with 20 distinct hands-on modules of study. Students use, manage, assess, and understand technology, as well as design, build and test products and systems to solve real-world problems. “We are unique in that our students start learning science in kindergarten.” says Kelly Stine. She adds, “The students are not only participating in hands-on labs from kindergarten on, but are also using highly advanced technology with it. Labs are completed with exceptional equipment unmatched in other schools.” Stine continues, “In addition to core science subjects, we offer an advanced Tech 21 technology lab where students learn about rocketry, robotics, electricity, and more using state of the art equipment. Each of our new lab classrooms has a unique design that matches the subject matter.” Tanya Baumgardner, 6th grade Earth Science and Tech 21 specialist notes, “We rely quite a bit on technology for our models, and our students are so fortunate to have everything from GPS’s, laptops in the classroom, and PASCO Probes and SPARKS units.” Contributions to the RSF Education Foundation Make a Big Difference! Kelly Stine sums it up this way, “Our students leave RSF with everything they need to be successful in science in high school and hopefully we have created some of our future scientists and researchers! Considering all of the research being done in this cutting edge subject, I am proud to be working at a school that puts an emphasis on science education and values its’ importance.” Integrated Science is yet another one of the valuable programs that exists due to the generous contributions of the parents and the community to the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation.

EDUCATION continued from page 24 most expensive program in education in the state today, and its merits – apart from the feel-good sense that smaller classes are better – have yet to be proven through research. Meanwhile, teachers, counselors, librarians, nurses, custodians and technicians are being released in all grades up through high school, while an enormous amount of money is being spent on a program with dubious benefits. There is a fairness issue at stake here, when so much funding in hard times excludes grades 4-12 and is allocated solely to support a questionable program for K-3. The state should stop treating this program like a sacred cow. It’s time to let it go, and redistribute the money where it can be better spent. Shorter school year Just as troubling as firing staff and letting educational facilities deteriorate is the move to shorten the school year to save money. Because salaries and benefits constitute 80 to 90 percent of a typical school district’s budget, a shortened school year cuts costs. To help districts squeezed for money (and name one district that isn’t), the state now allows districts to reduce the school year by up to five days, which has become a viable option. The LAO, in its recent survey of the state’s school districts, found that about 20 percent of districts reduced the school
March 10, 2011

year in 2009-2010, while almost 60 percent shortened the year in 2010-2011. “More districts are taking advantage of the flexibility to reduce their school year,” reports School Services of California. It may help the bottom line, but it surely doesn’t help students. What next? When will the state allow cashstrapped districts to consider cutting 10 days? Three weeks? A month? At what point do draconian budget cuts move people to demand, really demand, that state legislators fix this broken system and show they actually care about children’s education? According to a story in the March 3 Los Angeles Times, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said the idea that “somehow reducing the school days or school year or instructional time is a smart way to reduce spending – I cannot support that.” For the state to allow districts to shorten the school year is a shameful travesty that should generate forceful outrage among parents and the education community. Instead, what we’re hearing is relief from administrators looking for any means at hand to cut costs. And that too is shameful, that educators would even remotely consider that shortening the school year is acceptable. More cuts for Basic Aid? The Legislative Analyst’s Office recently offered up another “helpful” suggestion to the state’s budgeteers that affects Basic Aid school districts exclusively. Gov. Brown is proposing to cut over $700 million from the $2 billion childcare and preschool budget by reducing the number of spaces available, raising eligibility requirements, and eliminating childcare services for older students. To plug part of this hole, the LAO is suggesting that the state withdraw funding for Basic Aid districts’ categorical programs, which experts estimate could be as high as $800 per student. Basic Aid districts – which include Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and San Dieguito – are funded primarily by local property tax revenue, while the other “Revenue Limit” districts are also funded partially by property taxes but are backfilled by the state to reach an acceptable level of funding. In addition, all districts are provided with state funding for specific “categorical” programs. Basic Aid districts, which account for about 10 percent of the state’s total, are allowed to keep their excess local tax revenue – or at least they were until two years ago when these districts agreed to give back to the state their “Fair Share” of money. This Fair Share was calculated to be in direct proportion to the cuts absorbed by the other 90 percent of school districts decimated by state cutbacks. The idea was that the pain should be equally distributed, and Basic Aid districts agreed that it was their moral duty to return money to the state, to be fair and equitable. But the LAO’s proposal would mean that Basic Aid districts would be contributing even more as a percentage of their budgets than the non-Basic Aid districts. “I do think it is possible that Basic Aid districts may be required to take additional cuts, but cannot ‘crystal ball’ final resolution,” said Leslie Fausset, superintendent of the Solana Beach School District, in an email. Jim Peabody, Del Mar Union School District superintendent, agreed with Fausset’s assessment, using a similar forecasting symbol. “I think this will probably be approved, but my crystal ball has not been very good in the past,” he said. “I understand that they’re trying to uncover any piece of funding they can find.” Fair Share, Peabody said, was intended to equalize the pain. “That was the theory,” he said. Fausset said the LAO proposal would mean a larger percentage cut for Basic Aid districts than Revenue Limit districts. “But I don’t know how likely it is to actually come to pass,” she said. Peabody said districts are still trying to get clarification and that more information should be available later this week. “I think this time they’re really serious about trying to get a solution to the budget sooner rather than later,” he said, of state legislators. Some Basic Aid districts have additional challenges, because many are experiencing significant property tax decreases, Fausset said. “It’s a very difficult time for everyone right now, which is an understatement of the seriousness of where we are,” she said. “I truly worry about this generation of students with all the turmoil and impacts.” Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san. rr.com.

COMPLAINTS continued from page 1 vision of Safety of Dams to lower the water level from Oct. 1 to April 30, to accommodate runoff from rains and prevent dam overflow. When the water level is lowered, the irrigation district said there may be odors from the exposed sediment but they should go away when the sediment dries. Since 2009, the district has notified residents that the water level will be lowered for the rainy season. For part of the shortterm solution, the district said it will look at the feasibility of maintaining a higher water level or possibly removing a portion of the sediment to keep it from be-
FAIRGROUNDS continued from page 2 meeting. “They’re offering us full support, which will go a long way in getting us where we want to be with regard to Sacramento and getting legislation passed.” Before it can give that full support, however, the labor council is asking that a couple of items be guaranteed. Though Del Mar’s resolution of intention states that it plans to honor all labor agreements, the labor council is asking that four points be spelled out: That Senate Bill 1 (SB1), which would authorize Del Mar to buy the fairgrounds, include language stating that prevailing wages would be honored, and that anything currently subject to the state’s prevailing wage law remain that way; That SB1 include language stating that union rights will be upheld, and that the fairgrounds will retain its public employee status, seniority and bumping rights, and all coverage by all provisions of collective

The plan will look at the cost estimates for rehabilitation of the reservoir, which includes removing sediment and vegetation. Manager Pete Smith said there’s not a lot the Association can do because they don’t have the authority, but they have invited the water district to come to a future meeting and discuss the reservoir. Smith said it will probably be placed on the agenda for the April 7 or May 5 meeting.
bargaining agreements; That the city would adopt worker retention, labor peace and labor harmony principles; And that convention, trade show and exhibit work agreements be honored. After discussing it, the city council agreed it was in favor of these principals and wanted to move forward with gaining the labor council’s formal support. City staff will now determine what is the best way to satisfy the labor council’s request — such as drafting a formal resolution, or letter — and then return to council with that for approval. IN OTHER NEWS: Labor organizations letters of support for fairgrounds purchase The Jockey’s Guild and The California Teamsters Public Affairs Council have written letters of support for Del Mar’s proposed purchase of the fairgrounds and racetrack. The letters from these labor organizations urge the passing of SB1 to preserve the future of thoroughbred racing in California, and to protect the union jobs associated with the property.
SURGEON continued from page 8 device could be modified to make measuring range of motion even easier. “So I paid a college kid $1,000 to write a program on this open-platform software so this little game device can send the information to my computer instead of to the Nintendo device so that we can put it up against someone’s arm and we can measure their range of motion wirelessly.” Why is it so important to be able to measure a pitchers’ range of motion? Because, Hoenecke said, the most common complaint with pitchers is a soreness in the shoulder. “And when it gets sore, Councilman Carl Hilliard back in fairgrounds negotiations In past weeks Del Mar councilman Carl Hilliard had been recusing himself from all talks related to the city’s proposed purchase of the fairgrounds and racetrack after there were concerns voiced about him having a conflict of interest because he is a horseman. Though the city attorney could find no conflict of interest, Hilliard hired his own attorney to further review the issue. Based on that, it was determined that Hilliard has no conflict of interest and he will therefore be participating once again in fairgrounds negotiations. “There was never any doubt about it at all, but because of the serious allegations that were made, it had to be faced and thoroughly investigated,” Hilliard said. “There was never a shadow of a question about it, so I’m happy to report that little dark cloud has passed.”
it gets a little tight and loses a little bit of what we call internal rotation. And because of that tightness, when they go to throw, it pushes the [shoulder] ball up against the socket and pinches the rotator cup muscle. “When they get tight, it also predicts the possibility that they can develop an injury and even end up needing surgery. So if we detect the tightness early and treat it with stretching or rest or both, then we can potentially prevent injuries. “So we measure range of motion of all the pitchers at the beginning, middle and end of the season and in between whenever we need to.”
His other inventions include a surgical instrument that does the job of two instruments used in arthroscopic (camera-assisted) shoulder operations and a positioning pillow and technique that shortens surgery time. Earlier this year, Hoenecke’s body of research was honored with the Thornburg Award given annually to a Scripps Clinic surgeon for significant research achievements. And last year, he and his wife, who is an anesthesiologist, assembled a four-person team to teach orthopaedic surgeons in the northeastern African country of Eritrea how to perform arthroscopic surgery.

By Diane Y. Welch Staff Writer A desire to help people improve their lives inspired local resident Dr. Berge Minasian to write a self-help book that would do just that. The idea percolated inside his head for years, he said. Then he was able to fulfill his ambition a few months ago with the release of his first book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Power of Choice: Living the Life You Always Wanted and Absolutely Deserveâ&#x20AC;? [Trafford Publishing]. A broad experience in his professional life gave Minasian vast experience from which to draw material for the content of his book. His work in the public sector as well as in the private sector allowed him to observe people, to see first-hand how they reacted to their own lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've always been interested in what makes some people successful and others fail, and finally I had the time to write down my findings,â&#x20AC;? he said. It came down to a simple premise: The choices people make. Through his book Minasian strives to get this message out to his readers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recognize that whatever you're feeling, whatever you're experiencing, wherever you are in your life, much of it is because of the decisions you have made. Control your beliefs, control your attitudes, control your values, make good choices.â&#x20AC;? The book includes suggestions about stress management, how to improve oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to interact effectively with others in the home, the workplace or in social settings, and the importance of systematically strengthening self-esteem. A reader-friendly, self-hypnosis script helps reinforce this self improvement. Poignant anecdotal examples throughout the book clarify Minasian's message. For example, he writes about a young man, age 25, born without arms or legs, who became a hugely successful businessman and a highly sought-after motivational speaker. Then, in contrast, he calls attention to celebrities with every rea-

son in the world to be happy, but for one reason or another, destroy themselves through destructive lifestyle choices. There is a chapter on finding meaning in the work place. One of the things Minasian discovered is that many people hate their jobs. He said that Gallup polls show that 50 percent of working adults are miserable in their jobs and doing less than their best work. There are more depressed people in the U.S. now than ever in its history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have more money, more access to goods and services, but more depressed people,â&#x20AC;? he said. Minasian's own personal choice led him to pursue a career as an educator. He retired from the Solana Beach School District in 1990, having served as principal at both Solana Vista Elementary and Skyline Elementary schools. On retirement from education, Minasian went back to school and earned a doctor of clinical hypnotherapy degree, opening his private practice two years later. In addition to these distinct phases in Minasian's career, he was recruited by his three adult children to work as their staff development coordinator in Bergensons Property Services, a national corporate enterprise. He retired from that position in 2008 and began working in earnest on his book. In his book, Minasian shares basic tenets for self improvement: Whatever you believe with conviction becomes your reality; your mind controls your body;
your mind has the power to comply with your expectations; happiness is a function of how you interpret events in your life; whatever you say to yourself over and over is what you become; and you become just like the people you surround yourself with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you read this book, you can never, ever revert to blaming your genes, your parents, your significant others, your employer, or
Dr. Berge Minasianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first book, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Power of Choice: Living the Life You Always Wanted and Absolutely Deserve.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
society in general for the present quality of your lifeâ&#x20AC;?, said Minasian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm hoping this will be a handy, dandy resource for everyone and that people will learn from it and make the right choices for themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Special needs dog Addie in search of loving home
La Jolla Cultural Partners
By Marlena ChaviraMedford Staff Writer They say no matter your possessions, having a dog makes you rich. It’s a sentiment local resident Sally Fleck can attest to. After adopting a couple of rescue dogs, Fleck recently became a foster volunteer for Lab Rescuers of San Diego — something she said has enriched her life more than she ever anticipated. It was through Lab Rescuers of San Diego that Fleck was able to open her home to Adelaide (also known as Addie), a 6-yearold golden Labrador and one of gentlest souls Fleck said she’s ever met. “She is pure love, and just wants to be loved,” Fleck said with Addie by her side, tenderly nuzzling her hand. Addie — who has Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), a recessive gene that causes loss of sight — was found blind and pregnant roaming the streets of Apple
Valley. She was scheduled for euthanasia until Lab Rescuers of San Diego intervened. In search of foster care for Addie, the organization called Fleck. Fleck admits she was initially hesitant about taking in a blind dog, but watching Addie in action has completely put those concerns to bed. She handles her eight newborn puppies with care, and has completely adapted to her blindness. “She is a truly an inspiration to me, and her blindness has not stopped her from being an incredible mother,” she said. “It’s been a few weeks since she gave birth so she is even starting to get back some of her energy and wanting to play again. She’s just a happy, good dog.” Fleck is now in search of permanent home for Addie, and hopes someone in the community will step up. “It is going to break my heart to give her up, but my hope is that Addie can
find a home in this neighborhood so I can still come visit her,” she said. “She’s a special dog, so I don’t want to give her to just anyone — but I think the right person is out there.” Fleck said she would keep her, but Addie has fallen into the swimming pool a few times and she worries about that being a danger in the future. Therefore, she said Addie would do best in a home that does not have a swimming pool, or at least has a safety guard around it. Addie also does well with other dogs, but not with cats because she tracks their scents. Addie is also totally potty trained, listens to voice commands, and walks well on a leash. “In fact, Addie and I went on a two-and-a-half mile walk the day before she gave birth,” Fleck added. “She doesn’t require a lot of exercise, but she’d be perfect for someone who wanted a companion on their stroll around the block.”
Adelaide (also known as Addie), a 6-year-old golden Labrador, needs a home. Addie is up to date on her all her shots, she will also be fixed before she is adopted out, and she has been working with a trainer for blind dogs (Gillian Young of the Wonder Dog Institute), who has agreed to give free training services to whomever adopts her. Addie’s puppies, which include four males and four females, are also in search of permanent homes. Because PRA is a recessive gene and her puppies appear to not be purebred, there is a very slim chance any of the puppies inherited it. Addie and her puppies will be available for adoption April 23. If you are interested in meeting Addie and her puppies, send an email to Sally Fleck at sally fleck sally.fleck@ gmail.com.

Brothers from Boston serve American favorites at Iris BY KELLEY CARLSON armel Valley’s Iris Food and Spirits reflects the roots of its owners Tommy and Edd Golden. The restaurant is named for their mother’s favorite flower, and the showy plant is the main focus of the decor. Pictures of the iris hang from the restaurant’s purple walls, and tiles with its image are seen behind the bar. The carpeted floor has a floral print pattern, and the species can be found blooming around the establishment’s exterior. Yet Iris Food and Spirits also has a bit of East Coast flair — the staff wears Boston team sports caps as part of their uniform in honor of the Golden brothers’ hometown. Described by Tommy Golden as “neighborhood-y,” Iris is a destination restaurant for many customers, but there are quite a

few regulars as well. “People will come in wearing shorts, T-shirts, flip-flops, and buy $150 bottles of wine; they feel comfortable,” Golden said. Diners have a choice of sitting in the main dining room, at the bar, or on the patio that offers views of the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon. The dining room and patio can each accommodate 45 people; the bar seats 10. Golden recommends reservations — especially in winter when the patio is covered but not enclosed and not open for seating if it rains. However, there are heaters for the occasional chilly evening. Dinner is served daily at Iris, with lunch during weekdays. Children receive their own special menu along with crayons and paper to pass the time. The grownups can order specialty cocktails

similar to the French Cassoulet except chicken is used instead of duck making it “lighter,” Golden said. His personal favorite menu item: his namesake, Tommy’s Pork and Beans. Local organics are used in dishes whenever possible, Golden added. Much of the greens come from San Marcos and Chino’s Vegetable Shop in Rancho Santa Fe, while shellfish are obtained from Carlsbad Aquafarm. Iris occasionally holds special events — the wine dinners and beer dinners are usually limited to 40 people and often have waiting lists. Tuesdays are Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB) Nights, where the corkage fee is waived for up to four bottles. The restaurant does limited catering in the area, mostly in Carmel Valley and Del Mar, Golden said.

Dine ‘Fore’ smiles 19th Annual Fresh Start for Kids Celebrity Golf Classic
Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theater to present ‘A Night at the Bijou’
Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, Hollywood actors, and professional athletes join forces on March 14 at the Morgan Run Golf Club to tee off in support of transforming the lives of children through reconstructive surgery. The Classic kicks off on Sunday night, March 13, with dinner, cocktails, live/silent auctions and a special guest speaker. This year’s dinner auction includes a chance to become honored guests at a night of dining with the US Marine Corp at Camp Pendleton. The Mess Night Dinner with the marines and their spouses is orchestrated like the traditional “Mess Night” of the 1920s. The meal is formal and conducted in a regulated setting with specific rules complete with “fines” for participant transgressions. The evening concludes with traditional toasts to pay honor and respect to all the campaigns the Marine Corps has fought in and to the success of the Marine Corps. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to get a glimpse into a night that builds knowledge of the corps customs and courtesies, as well as their camaraderie. When you dine ‘fore’ smiles you give...a child hope for a future free of physical deformity, an opportunity for safe, top-quality medical care for an under-privileged child, hope to improve a child’s confidence and self-esteem. To attend the event, contact Michelle Pius at michelle@freshstart.org or Amanda Thompson at amanda@freshstart.org.
The award-winning Canyon Crest Academy Theater Program will perform “A Night at the Bijou,” a madcap musical revue inspired by classic American vaudeville. When all of the professional vaudeville performers get stuck on a train in a snowstorm, a cast of zany amateurs volunteer so that the show can go on. This original vaudeville musical runs March 16-19, at the Proscenium Theater, Canyon Crest Academy, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130. “A Night at the Bijou” was written by Bernard Baldan for the actors and musicians of Canyon Crest Academy, and, true to the times of the early 20th century, is a multi-media event incorporating vaudeville acts, film, and music of the era written and performed by CCA musicians. Bernard Baldan created and directed the play. “We’ve worked hard to make this play a unique event for the audience and the performers as well. Besides the absolute joy of live vaudeville acts, we bring the audience members back to the time when vaudeville and film were battling for the attention of the American public.” Tickets run from $8-19 and can be purchased at www.CCAenvision.org/main/tickets

Ready, Set, Camp! Finding the Right Camp for Your Child You are considering a summer camp, but how to choose? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a camp that is ideally suited for every child, providing a summer of growth and fun whether your child attends a day or overnight camp, a specialized or traditional camp. With a little help from the camp professionals at the American Camp Association, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some sound advice that helps parents sort through the choices and benefits that camp delivers. As spring approaches, parents and children can look forward to planning for the future â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a future that includes the opportunities for exploration and discovery that arrives with summer camp. When is your child ready? Children are ready for new experiences at different stages. Parents know their children best and these questions can help gauge whether this is the summer your child will start camp.
What is your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age? Children under age 7 may not adjust easily to being away from home. Consider the day camp experience to prepare them for future overnight camp. How did your child become interested in camp? Does your child talk about camp on a sustained basis? How much persuasion is necessary from you? Has your child had positive overnight experiences away from home? Visiting relatives or friends? Were these separations easy or difficult? What does your child expect to do at camp? Learning about the camp experience ahead of time allows you to create positive expectations. Are you able to share consistent and positive messages about camp? Your confidence in a positive experience will be contagious. A Camp for Every Childâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Perfect Fit

While each camp experience has something unique to offer your child, this is an opportunity for families to assess what they value for their campers. â&#x20AC;˘ Benefits of Camp Nearby Easier to evaluate and visit Friends and family are likely familiar with camp Minimal travel costs Likely contact with classmates or children from same region â&#x20AC;˘ Benefits of Camp Far Away

Talking with your child about the goals you both share helps determine which choice is right for you. â&#x20AC;˘ Benefits of Short Sessions (one-three weeks) First-time or younger campers have a chance to learn new skills Bonds develop with other campers and staff Great exposure to camp experience with less expense

Dr. He Said, Dr. She Said Disrespecting the children Dear Dr. He Said, Dr. She Said: My wife does not speak to our kids respectfully, and I am having a very difficult time helping her to understand the damage this is doing to them and to their relationship with her. In M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. particular, my teen(Dr. She) and Hanalei age son doesn’t reVierra, Ph.D. (Dr. He) spect her or listen to her, but my wife believes telling him what to do and making demands on him is the only way to guide him. Her tone and how she is with the three children is also leaking over negatively onto our relationship. I am having a hard time respecting her, and I want to defend and side with the children all the time. I feel like our household is not cohesive, and I don’t know how to change it. I am feeling like my only option may be to divorce my wife. Do you have any thoughts? Tom Dr. She Dear Tom: Whenever we are faced with an issue in our relationship, it is always good practice to first take a look at how we might be contributing to the problem ourselves. So, I am wondering how you have been managing this disrespectful element in the household all of these years. As I am sure you know, disrespectful communication starts with the parents and is learned by the children through the parent’s behavior. It is difficult to imagine that if you and your wife have had a respectful relationship throughout the years that she or your children would feel the need to act disrespectfully on an ongoing basis. We all get stressed out and say things we don’t intend from time to time, but this sounds like it is consistent behavior that has been going on for awhile. Ask yourself how you and your wife have practiced and demonstrated respectful and validating communication between the two of you. How you have talked about the importance of respectful communication with the children? When the children came along, did the respectful communication decrease? Was there a split or divide in the relationship at that time due to stress that never got repaired? If there was, this split can easily get played out with the children if not addressed between the two of you. If you have had some underlying resentments, have you been disrespectful towards your wife and unknowingly role modeled that for your son? If your son sees you being discourteous to your wife or you splitting from her by siding with the children in her presence, then he is getting the message that, as a man, it is okay to respond in kind to his mother. Remember that you are the role model for your son (and your other children) regarding what is to be expected in relationship with the people you love and he learns much more thorough what you do versus what you say. Regarding your wife, if there is something in your wife’s personality or past that is creating a more authoritarian parenting style, she needs to take a look at that. How was she treated as a child? What style of parenting was role modeled for her? If she feels incapable or incompetent as a parent, can she try a different approach than what
she was raised with? She will first need to see the value in raising her children in a positive environment and the value of having a better relationship with her children than perhaps she did with her parents (I’m speculating here). She will need to somehow learn that respect is earned and can not be commanded or controlled. Managing the children through fear breeds resentment rather than respect. I would encourage her to go to a Redirecting Children’s Behavior class even though the children might be older. Remembering the basics of parenting can be an important tool in the challenging teenage years. Dr. He Hello Tom, Rather than jumping to divorce as an option just yet, let’s look at your predicament from another perspective, that being self-respect—what it looks like, walks like, talks like, how to live it, how to feel it, etc. What I have found to be true in my own personal life is that the degree of respect I show to others really is a reflection of how much respect I feel for myself. In other words, if I am not being very respectful to others, then it is highly likely that I am not feeling great about myself as a person. We can apply this to your wife and imagine that her shabby treatment of the people she loves to be an example of the lack of self-worth she feels for herself. There is a way to talk to her about this, but let’s first deal with another important example of the lack of self-respect in your household, Tom—namely, yours. A similar version to what we’ve been talking about goes like this: if I allow others to treat me disrespectfully, then I don’t have a whole lot of respect for myself. I put this in front of you to consider and ask yourself, “How much disrespectful treatment do I willingly endure from others, even from the woman I am married to?” As Dr. She writes above, respect is something that is earned—not owed. If you believe that the way you live your life shows respect towards your wife, Tom, why would you tolerate being treated “negatively” by her? What are you teaching your son about relationships by not drawing a healthy boundary when your wife brings her disrespectful behavior toward you? Way beyond whatever level of respect is possible for your wife to feel towards you, I would want you to first check in with yourself about your own lack of self-worth. If you are lagging in that department—and who among us doesn’t have that struggle at times?—then focus on how to best “reconfigure Tom” to a solid state. This will teach you how to deal with her disrespect in a healthy way. Confronting her will only succeed if you include yourself in the discussion of “the work” that needs to be done to get the marriage back to a place of mutual respect. Once that happens, all of your children will be on the receiving end of the healthy love that they deserve from their parents. Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. (Dr. He) and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) are a married couple who have worked together for over 15 years coaching troubled relationships to clearer communication, deeper intimacy, and healthier partnership.

Torrey Pines sophomore Jaxson McAllister (above, with ball) won “Man of the Match” for his all-around play. He is trailed on the play by teammate Brian Hollenback. Torrey Pines Captain Ryan Hoffman, playing the key scrum-half position, led the team until an ankle injury put him on the sidelines on crutches.

Local resident arranges tour of the Relic of St. Mary Magdalene By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer A couple of years ago when local resident Paula Lawlor visited a friend in the south of France, she had no inkling that the trip would also prove to be a powerful spiritual journey. It was there that she visited Sainte Baume, a mountain cave where Saint Mary Magdalene spent the last 30 years of her life in isolation. Though Lawlor had never known of the place before, said she felt a divine presence in that cave as she prayed to the saint. “And the very next day, my prayers were answered,” she said. “I was praying about very real problems, and I had a very powerful experience.” So powerful that she felt enveloped in a new passion. She said she wanted to tell everyone about what took place, and to experience what she had.

Too many things keep coming together too easily for me to think otherwise. My hope is that more people come to know the true story of [Saint Mary Magdalene], and that they have their own miracle.

National group, ‘Gen Next,’ looks to expand membership locally By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer
What is the common thread connecting a celebrity chef, a luminary for Google Ideas, and a former U.S. ambassador dealing with war crime and genocide? They are all members of Gen Next, an exclusive organization that educates and engages its members on some of the biggest challenges facing future generations in the areas of economic growth, education, and international security. Though it’s a varied bunch, there is an overarching theme among members. “These are people bound by a big, big vision for the future,” said Gen Next CEO Michael Davidson. “These are all people who are highly successful, intellectually curious, forward thinking and have an animating factor that sets them above most. They are extraordinary people.” The group, which is five years old, has members across the country and is aiming to add about 20 in the San Diego area this year. By joining the group, which
is done by invitation only and requires a $10,000 annual contribution, members gain access to a wealth of information. There’s yearround programming that allows them to pick the brains of some major movers and shakers at the local, national and international level, including business innovators and government officials. For example, a quick search on the group’s website, gennext.org, revealed an upcoming talk by former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Members also get access to internal memos, member-only exchanges, and opportunities for national and international trips. Because Gen Next’s mission includes economic growth, education, and international security, members tackle some pretty big issues, like how to achieve oil independence, and what to do about the public education crisis. Gen Next serves as a vehicle for chance in these areas by helping to bring about legislative changes, elevate other organizations working toward the same goals, and by help-
ing to launch new organizations. Case in point: Movements.org, a nonprofit that helps grassroots activists by pairing them with resources and mentors in the technology, media, private and public sectors, is the collaboration of Gen Next members and Gen Next sponsored their first conference in New York City. “This is a perfect illustration of what happens when Gen Next puts together the right people and right ideas with the platform and resources to make extraordinary things happen,” he said. The ultimate hope is that by educating its members, Gen Next can help them to see issues in a bigger picture, and inspire long-term solutions. Taking that step outside one’s comfort zone isn’t always easy, Davidson said, but the payout is becoming part of something bigger, something relevant, something that brings about change. “I always like to use a line from Mad Men’s Don Draper: ‘If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation.’”
Kids Korps USA presents Red Haute Tango Gala Kids Korps USA is preparing to heat up San Diego with its annual Super Star Gala, bringing to life one of the most sensual evenings inspired by the dance, flavor, and spirit of Latin culture. Set for Friday, May 6, “Red Haute Tango” Gala will delight all the senses under a blanket of stars at The Grand Del Mar. Temperatures will rise beginning at 5 p.m. Guests will join gala chairs Maggie and Gary Bobileff, honorary chairs Denise and Bertrand Hug, and community chairs Connie and Bill McNally in a celebration infused with fiery flavors, sumptuous cocktails, and sultry salsa dancing al fresco. Guaranteed to be “Red Haute,” this exotic evening will also feature a captivating tango-inspired performance by the alluring Yesenia Adame-Walter of “Dancing with the Stars,” along with a delectable dinner and not-to-be-missed silent and live auctions. As a culminating accompaniment, guests will then retire to the Cigar Lounge to enjoy a coffee station, a cigar roller, after dinner drinks, and Latin beats. Joani Wafer, co-founder and CEO of Kids Korps USA, says she looks forward to the event as “we have so many wonderful volunteers and supporters to recognize this year. The Super Star Gala is, more than ever, a cause for celebration as we recognize great friends, wonderful partners, and the more than 1,300 projects and 100,000 hours served in just this past year.” Proceeds from “Red Haute Tango” will support Kids Korps’ year-round programs that engage young people, ages 5 through 25, in community service. The organization strives to instill in America’s youth the spirit of giving while providing valuable education in leadership and responsibility — developing leaders for life through youth volunteerism. This year, Kids Korps USA will honor and celebrate the achievements of long-time supporter and 2009 recipient of the Kids Korps USA National Leadership Award Julien Hug with the announcement of a new program called Hugs for Kids. Inspired by Julien’s parents Denise and Bertrand Hug, long-time friend Jen Keslik, and Kids Korps USA, Hugs for Kids is dedicated to enhancing the character development of youth from all walks of life. Hugs for Kids’ mission is to ignite healthy inner growth and support the positive identity of all young people by engaging youth, families, and communities in educational programs, hands-on activities, and awareness campaigns. This year’s gala will also recognize 2011 honorees, including long-time supporters Teresa & Dave Miller & family (Kids Korps Chapter Leadership Award); Dana & Bill Knees & family (Kids Korps Chapter Leadership Award); McLaren Martin (Teen Korps Leadership Award); Rancho Santa Fe Rotary (Kids Korps Community Leadership Award); and Sempra Energy Foundation (Kids Korps Corporate Leadership Award). “Red Haute Tango” tickets range between $350, $500 and $1,000 each with a 10 percent discount available for those who purchase before March 31. Ticket and sponsor seating will be determined by level and date of purchase. Guests can purchase tickets online at www.kidskorps.org or by calling McFarlane Promotions at 619-233-5008.

TPHS boys soccer team enjoys another great season After finishing regular season play with a 11-win, 7-loss and 5-tie record, the Torrey Pines Falcons boys soccer team was awarded the #4 seed in the CIF San Diego Division I playoffs. As the #4 seed, they earned a first round bye. They went on to knock out Granite Hills High School at home with a 3-0 win on Feb. 25. On March 1, the Falcons went on to knock out #1 seed Poway High School at Poway 5-3. At the time Poway, ranked #5 in the nation, had only lost one match prior to their semifinal elimination by Torrey Pines. No team had scored more than 3 goals against Poway all season. On March 5, the Falcons faced off against Rancho Bernardo High School the #2 seed in the championship match for the Division I title. Torrey Pines’ junior striker Sean Doyle scored first with an assist from senior captain Colin McAtee, but after a surge by Rancho Bernardo, trailed 3-1 at the half. The Falcons came out fighting in the second half, equalizing the match at 3-3 after Garret Heine curled his corner kick into the back of the net and senior captain Robert Matsuura headed the ball into the net off an assist from junior captain Austin Freel. In the last 3 minutes of the match, a penalty kick was awarded to Rancho Bernardo ending the Falcons’ run at another CIF San Diego title with a score of 4-3. After the match Coach Andy Hargreaves commented, “I’m very proud how the boys turned the game around in the second half to equalize the score, especially against such a strong team like Rancho Bernardo. Losing on a penalty kick was tough for them, but all of them have played this game long enough to know that there are things you can’t always control that might impact the outcome of a match. We wish Rancho Bernardo well in the SoCal CIF playoffs.” When asked to recap their CIF playoff experience, Robert Matsuura commented on behalf of himself and his senior co-captain Colin McAtee, “Winning a second CIF San Diego title playing for Coach Hargreaves would have been the icing on what already has been one of the best experiences we’ve had playing soccer. We were lucky to be on the team that won the CIF San Diego title two years ago, and last year we won the Avocado league title. Colin and I were honored to be chosen as team captains in our junior and senior years. We really had a great time bonding with our teammates on and off the field. We know that Torrey Pines will always be in the mix when it comes to the CIF San Diego title.”
Registration open for Carmel Valley Dons football Registration is now open for the Fall 2011 tackle football season. Boys and Girls between the ages of 5-14 are invited to sign up. Divisions are based on grade and age with no weight limits for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Danny Talman, president of the Carmel Valley Dons said, “this is an exciting time for youth football in San Diego County as we truly are preparing our football players for high school football. We have eliminated weight limits at our upper levels and kids now play at their grade appropriate level. Many kids who were too heavy to play youth football in the past can now come out and join a tackle team and don’t have to wait until high school to play tackle football.” When asked about the lower levels, Talman remarked that even though the DONS are grade base, weight limits are in place for 3rd -5th graders as these levels are seen as developmental tackle football divisions along with the Dons flag football program for K-2nd grade. Talman went onto say, “we want our older players to challenge themselves with their peer group in preperation for the environment they will experience in high school football. Therefor we do not allow kids to play down a level or two.” To sign up for the 2011 season or for more information on the Carmel Valley Dons youth football and cheer program, please visit the Carmel Valley Dons website at www.cvdons.com. The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football and Cheer was formed in 2010 to create a very competitive Division 1 football program in the Carmel Valley area. The league’s home stadium is Cathedral Catholic High School and is proud to wear their colors. Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High football players, they contribute much of their first year success to the support of Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle and Athletic Director David Smola.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Your Family Matters: ‘The should-be popular group’ By Dr. Keith Kanner Why is it that the “popular group” these days is generally defined by children who are not very nice? The whole “mean girls” and “Y” generation seems to be taking over the basic concept of being a “nice” and “responsible” person who cares about others and takes responsibility for themselves, striving to make the world a better place. Instead, it’s more of a “Why should Dr. Keith Kanner I” mentality tainted by a sense of entitlement and a right to be “right.” Healthy social conformity has unfortunately gone out the window for many kids who are more concerned with “being cool” by being disrespectful and, as a result, lures other children and teenagers to jump on board the “cool to be cruel” bandwagon. Such cliques produce bullies, delinquents, and other “notso-nice” kids who are the leaders? What has gone wrong? Imagine if the “Popular Group” were made up of kids who had the following characteristics: 1) a desire to be smart and learn ; 2) being nice ; 3) a demand to be respected and treated well by others; 4) healthy passions ; 5) some sort of sport and music ; 6) lack of toleration for mean kids; and 7) self-responsibility. In other words, what if blaming was just NOT cool anymore. Tongue in cheek, the world would be a better place and our children would strive to do healthy and productive advents. Even the healthy parents out there, and most are, run
in contrast to what kids are exposed to socially at school these days. As parents, we do have some control over the media and social media, as long as we supervise, but at school and in social avenues we are not as influential. Coupled with a healthy desire of most children to become less dependent on their parents and try to function autonomously, normal kids are already dealing with the normal tasks and conflicts of growing up. The problem is that what is deemed “healthy” these days on the outside has changed. Just look at television, music, and contemporary America. Healthy family values are hard to find and they are certainly not in the mainstream. In other words, as parents, we have to get better at promoting healthy choices for our children when they are in our care. At least then, when they are away from us, they carry our influences on their right shoulder and that’s better then no comparison at all. Should we as parents set limits and promote healthy choices for other children other than our own, as well?
Yes! Children and teens are very influenced by non-parents and often times will listen to an adult who take the time to show some interest in their lifestyle. Should we supervise what our children watch on television, listen to on the radio, and surf on the Internet? Yes! And, is promoting healthy friendships, giving back, and guiding children to renounce “mean” all in the well known “Good Parenting Book”? Yes. More than ever parents need to be more aware and invested in their child’s lives. Just because your child may not open up to you, as most do not once they become “tweenish,”they still let us in on their mental and physical lives by what they say and do. Invested parents who demand family dinners and outings despite the noted resistance, enlist their children in more of a mature outlook of the world. It may not be “their” world, but the world of children goes beyond what they experience at school and on Facebook. But, we must pay attention and try to lead by example and without being seemingly too critical. The only effective parenting style is love, time, and guidance following healthy choices and using limits as a function of love and protection. Kids may be influenced by their peers, but as parents, we still hold
the trump card until they leave us for college or work. Let’s not let them down.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Solana Beach Barbershop offers top-notch haircuts and classic customer service By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer Solana Beach Barbershop has a classic charm, a feel that’s reminiscent of a time when life was a little slower and good service and good conversation went hand-in-hand. The nostalgic allure here is thanks, in large part, to owner Ted Williams, who cut his teeth at his father’s classic barbershop in 1940s Nashville. “This is an old-fashioned barbershop that’s all about offering good service along with a good product,” Williams said. After learning the ropes alongside his father, Williams served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, during which he worked as barber cutting the hair of his fellow servicemen. “I actually chose the Navy because it was the only branch that had a billet for barbers,” he explained. By the 1950s, Williams’ military assignment brought him to North County, which as he recalls “didn’t have a Interstate 5 and Highway 101 was a two-lane road, and it wasn’t all that smooth.” By 1957, Williams had opened an operation in Poway, where his father joined him, now working in his son’s shop. Williams eventually gave the shop to his father, working for a stint in the swimming pool industry before opening another shop in Vista and then working at another in Oceanside. Nearly 10 years ago, William opened Solana Beach Barbershop, which is open seven days a week and offers services for men, women, and children. “The community here has been very good to me. I’ve been cutting hair for more than 50 years, and one of the
Ted Williams things I’ve enjoyed most all along is visiting with the people who come into my shop,” said Williams, who is full of interesting tidbits, like that his cousin is famed Grand Ole Opry star Loretta Lynn ‘Lorrie’ Morgan — and colorful stories, such as the time he caught a 300-pound thresher shark during a deep sea fishing excursion. Ultimately, Williams
said he’s invested in bringing Solana Beach a quality product with top-notch customer service, and he hopes the community will invest back into him. “If there’s anything I could impress upon people it would be do to business with independent barbers. We are the people who have been here long before chains, and we’re the ones who will hopefully continue to be here in the future. Even though times may have changed, this is a real old-fashioned barbershop where things aren’t always done by the number.” Solana Beach Barbershop is located at 665 San Rodolfo Drive, suite 120, inside the Solana Beach Towne Center, near Marshalls. To make an appointment at Solana Beach Barbershop, please call 858847-0576.
Continental Motors: Authorized SAAB dealer for over 40 years
Staff members at Continental Motors, in Oceanside, pride themselves on providing great service with a smile. From parts to new SAAB cars, from pre-owned to the Service Department, their customers are their number one priority and they treat you as such. It was a match made in heaven. Invention has always led the way at SAAB. Just not in the way you’d expect. The idea for the modern day crumple zone was born after one of the engineers survived a plane crash. Another engineer was injured in a rear-impact collision, so she designed a frontseat headrest that catches the head before whiplash occurs. They were the first to install heated seats in 1971, which came from a SAAB designer who had back problems. Today, they bring you the all-new SAAB 9-5 Sport Sedan. It’s the culmination of virtually every idea they’ve ever brought to the road. The experienced, certified technicians at Continental Motors have years of experience working on vehicles like yours. They have been taking care of cars in and around Oceanside for generations and have always been committed to doing the job right the first time. If you are interested in test driving any one of their Saab models, Continental Motors is located at 617 South Coast Highway, Oceanside. You can call them at 1-760-722-1868 or visit them at www.contmotors.com.
