County to explore tiered, updated equine regulations

New policy mandates driving classes for H.S. campus parking permits BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Beginning in fall 2011, the San Dieguito Union High School District will have a new policy in place requiring that every student who purchases a campus parking permit must go through the Start Smart driving class with their parent or guardian. The class takes driver’s education a step further, really going in-depth about accident avoidance, distracted driving, drunk driving and basic road responsibilities. When Canyon Crest Academy parent Nancy Kral found out about it, her first reaction was annoyance. It was a twohour class in the middle of another busy week. “I just thought it was one more thing that as a parent I had to do, but it was a great program and I was really glad I went,” said Kral. “It made me aware how many bad drivers are out there. It reminds kids that a car can be a dangerous thing and little decisions can change someone’s life forever.” Classes have been held throughout the year leading up to the fall requirement. Classes will be offered in March, April and May at Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest and more are planned for summer months. Start Smart is presented by a partnership of the California Highway Patrol, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department See POLICY, page 25

Stand Up for Rady Children’s Hospital

A spectacular night was enjoyed by all at the “Stand Up for Rady Children’s Peckham Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders, an Evening With Dana Carvey” fundraiser held March 12. Hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, the event was held at the Grand Del Mar.

Construction is humming along on Horizon Prep’s new campus in Rancho Santa Fe. Roofing was beginning on some of the buildings this week and they are well on their way to be able to take occupancy in the classrooms this summer. “Even with all the rain we’re still on schedule,” said Lauren Grizzle, director of development. The project will help the private school enhance its student population, with more space for its growing middle school. The new 18-classroom campus will feature two stateof -the art science labs and a large art studio with outdoor kiln. The buildings will be white stucco exterior with Santa Barbara-style tile roofs, matching the character of the community. All of the classrooms are accessed by enclosed breezeways, lined with arches.

PRESORTED STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE PAID RSF, CA PERMIT 26

BY JOE NAIMAN The County of San Diego may be updating its regulations of equine operations, including possibly a tiered ordinance which would provide regulatory relief to smaller boarding, training, and other commercial operations. A 5-0 San Diego County Board of Supervisors vote March 2 directed the county’s Chief Administrative Officer to work with the county’s equestrian community and any other interested parties to investigate options which would protect and promote equine operations throughout unincorporated San Diego County. The options will include the potential development of a tiered ordinance, similar to what the county has adopted for wineries, and the Chief Administrative Officer was directed to report back to the Board of Supervisors within 120 days.

Three candidates to run for Validity of fairgrounds survey questioned two RSF Association board seats Three candidates will vie for two seats in this year’s RSF Association board election. Ann Boon, Ann Mercer and Larry Spitcaufsky are the candidates who are seeking the two seats being vacated by outgoing board members Tom Lang and Deb Plummer. The Association’s Annual Meeting will be held on May 12 at the RSF Garden Club and candidate election ballots will be mailed out to all registered Association members that day. Ballots must be returned to the RSF Association offices by June 13 at 5 p.m., according to RSF Association Manager Pete Smith.

BY JOE TASH Critics are questioning the validity of a survey conducted by 74th District Assemblyman Martin Garrick, which found that 71 percent of respondents were against the proposed sale of the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds to the city of Del Mar. Garrick, R-Solana Beach, reported the results of the survey on his website, and the report was also included as an informational item on last week’s agenda of the Del Mar fair board, whose members oppose the sale. According to Garrick, his office received 4,497 responses to the survey, with 71 percent opposing the sale, 81 percent saying they should be allowed to weigh in on the sale, and a majority in favor of the state continuing to operate the fairgrounds through the 22nd District Agricultural Association and its appointed board. Bud Emerson, one of the editors of the Sandpiper, a community journal published in Del Mar for the past decade, said he believes the survey is invalid because of the way the questions were framed, and because it was not administered to a random sample of the population. “This is not an honest survey,” said Emerson, who supports the proposed sale of the fairgrounds to Del Mar. “He (Garrick) ought to be ashamed of himself. And to submit this as a relevant piece of information in a decision-making process is disreputable.” But Mike Zimmerman, Garrick’s chief of staff, dismissed the complaints of Emerson and others, and insisted the survey accurately portrays the feelings of those who live in the 74th District, which includes Del Mar, Solana Beach, Escondido, Encinitas and portions of

Issues raised at fairgrounds workshop New fire station construction continues The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District’s Fairbanks Ranch Fire Station is making visible progress on El Apajo Road. Construction on the two-story, 10,000-square-foot facility is expected to be complete by May.

BY JOE TASH Attendees at a city council workshop Wednesday, March 9, had plenty of questions and suggestions about Del Mar’s proposed $120 million purchase of the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds. The questions included whether gun shows

could be prohibited from the fairgrounds if the sale goes through, and why Del Mar would have only one representative on the ninemember board that would oversee fairground operations. The meeting in council chambers was held in an informal style, with mem-

bers of the public sitting around a series of six circular tables along with council members, city staff, union representatives and officials with outside agencies. In all, about 50 people attended the session. The meeting began See WORKSHOP, page 26

UCSD’s new cardiovascular center set for April opening BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer Now that the sneak peek at the UCSD Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center is behind them, the staff and faculty are focusing on the bigger event: opening for patients on April 3. And that’s not a simple task, said the center’s director, Kirk Peterson, M.D., FACP, FACC, who is also professor of clinical cardiology and has been on the faculty since 1970. Six years after Rich and Gaby Sulpizio pledged $10 million to help fund the center and more than two years after construction started, the big day means a lot of last-minute fine-tuning. There are licensing and reliability issues to finalize at the four-story facility next to Thornton Hospital, just east of Interstate 5, as well as assuring that all the new high-tech equipment and the basics are working. They have to make certain they’ve got all their personnel needs covered, including hiring new people. Moving-in day And then comes the big one, Peterson added: Transferring patients from UCSD’s medical center in Hillcrest as

they centralize cardiovascular patient care and research facility. Petersen predicts the center, valued at $228 million when you factor in all of the equipment, will be 85 percent occupied on opening day. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony — where Rich and Gaby Sulpizio were joined by their daughters and nine grandchildren — and gala evening, Rich Sulpizio said he’s excited to see all the effort coming together. “I’m honored and pleased to be a part of it, but many, many people made it happen,” he said. “It’s value to the community is that it is one allencompassing facility that can handle all cardiovascular and clinical issues.’ “It’s a case of USCD following its “We Practice What We Teach” motto, he added. ‘A no-brainer’ For years, Sulpizio, who is president and CEO of Qualcomm Enterprise Services, said his own physicians have been UCSD doctors. He sees them twice a year, in part, because of his family history. His father died at 54 and his brother at 48. Acknowledging both had lifestyles that may

The ribbon cutting for the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center at UC San Diego. COURTESY UCSD have contributed to their poor health, he said, still “there’s no reason for someone to leave at 54.” His mother-in-law also has “some cardidovascular issues,” he noted in a press release about the center. “So, it was a no-brainer for us when we were asked to be involved with the cardiovascular center and if our lead gift helped and encouraged others to participate, that’s great.’’ Expanding on Sulpizio’s “all-encompassing” phrase, Peterson explained the cen-

ter is bringing together all the specialists that interact on a patient’s behalf. That doesn’t always happen now in a “concerted or optimized fashion” because they’re not all in the same facility, he added. As a case in point, he talked about the patient who might have “unusually abnormal lipids (fats)” who would need the attention of an endocrinologist or metabolic specialist at another facility. Now it will be a specialist in the same building.

Attracting recruits Another benefit for the area’s health care is that the new environment will maximize training opportunities for medical students and post grads, he noted. Sulpizio added that benefit of being a cutting edge teaching hospital is that it is attracting “the best minds” and has been a boon for recruiting. “That all translates to better health care for all of us,” he said. Peterson also emphasized that the center also is striving “to create an environment where new scientific advances can be brought to the bedside. We want to breakdown the impediments and roadblocks and speed up that process.” Part of that new knowledge is likely to come from the Clinical and Translational Research Institute, which will be housed in a new facility across the street. Understanding disease Peterson said he sees the mission being driven by the sense that “disease, although fully understood, is only half cured … There is always some new approach.” While he said he could not

address directly how the new center would affect healthcare costs locally over the long term, he believes in the short term improved “tertiary and preventative care will reduce costs.” That’s because there will be shorter stays and more outpatient care, towards which a lot of the new facility is oriented, he said. But costs of technology and science are generally not factored into projections on costs and “they don’t come free, he acknowledged. Peterson, who is also cardiology consultant for the Naval Regional Medical Center and the VA San Diego Healthcare System, said he was not integrally involved in the design of the center until the last few years. But he has watched with wrap attention as it developed over his years with UCSD. Instead he gives credit to Anthony DeMaria, M.D. and Stuart Jamieson, M.D., who have been working on the concept since the early 1990s. On the horizon, he said, is “significant interaction with other medical facilities in San Diego” — even to ScrippsHealth, which is developing its own new cardiovascular care center.

Community Concerts of RSF presents check Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe presented a check March 10 in the amount of $8,000, to the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, on behalf of the Performing Arts Center at Rancho Santa Fe’s “324 Club.” The funds included all proceeds from the Billy Dean Benefit Concert, held Oct. 20, 2010, sponsored by Community Concerts, an event held in conjunction with the official dedication of the R. Roger Rowe School. The “324 Club” was formed to promote the sales of theater seats for the PAC. The eight seats purchased by Community Concerts, at $1,000 per seat, will be specifically designated in the concert hall and have a plaque that specifies Community Concerts as the donor. The seats will be red and comfortably constructed with plush material, padded cushions and dark wood arms. Community Concerts spearheaded the efforts for upgrading the multi-use room, proposed by the school board, to a state-of-the-art facility. Members of the CC board proposed the $2 million fundraising effort and helped organize the Performing Arts Center Committee, which is led currently by Carol Warren. More than half of the needed funds have been raised to date, thanks to the generosity of the Rancho Santa Fe community. Still available are naming rights for the PAC at $1 million and several individual items needed to complete the facility. When the PAC is not in use by the school, it will be available for programs from the community at large. Presently, the PAC scheduling is being done by the Rancho Santa Fe School District staff. Recently, Orchestra Nova (previously the San Diego Chamber Orchestra) returned to Rancho Santa Fe for a performance at the new PAC. The entertainment included music, dance and an opera aria, showcasing the superior acoustics and lighting capabilities of the hall. “Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe is delighted to contribute to the Performing Arts Center at Rancho Santa Fe. It is expected that the students and the community will benefit greatly from an expansion of the arts in our neighborhood,” said Sharon McDonald, president of Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe. Community Concerts is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization providing four musical concerts each year at the Village Church Fellowship Hall.

Rancho Santa Fe resident Daniel King, a junior at Canyon Crest Academy High School, advanced to the finals in the category of impromptu speech in the San Diego ImpeDaniel King rial Valley Speech League Winter IE Tournament. Daniel was the first CCA student to ever make it to the finals. The newly formed CCA Speech and Debate team is now competing at the local and state level. Daniel is a graduate of the R. Rodger Rowe School where he was awarded the ‘Best Public Speaker” award upon graduation. He has had a long interest in public speaking and has, in fact, taken his passion to a new level and created his own nonprofit 501c3 public charity called ‘Speaking Out for Others.” The first event of “Speaking Out for

Others” focused on healthcare for the indigent population in San Diego, with all proceeds donated to the UCSD Student Run Free Clinic. The nonprofit teen speech group raised thousands of dollars for the underserved medical needs of San Diegans. An upcoming event will be raising donations for the San Diego EyeMobile that provides free eye care to local children who have no access to eye exams or corrective vision aides. Daniel was inspired to raise money for children with low vision for very personal reasons. He watched his sister, who was born with uncorrectable low vision, struggle throughout her life, and has seen how much of a difference good eye care can make in the life of a child. Daniel believes the San Diego EyeMobile, championed by Dr. Barbara Brody, is a strong choice to help others with similar problems. Daniel and the other members of his speech troupe (Brian Sandler, Angelina Woo and Glen Borok) are gaining great appreciation for the power of words to effect change in society. The power of words transcends all ages and can effect great changes in the world, even when those words are spoken by teens.

Wildfire: Are you prepared? Wildfires are a constant threat for those of us living in Southern California, especially within wildland-urban interface areas like Rancho Santa Fe and its surrounding communities. The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) employs a hazard abatement inspector who surveys properties for fire hazards and mails violation notices to property owners not in compliance with District Ordinance 2004-02 and 2011-01, which can be found on the district’s website at www.rsf-fire.org. Residents within the RSFFPD service area should have recently received a letter reminding them of the local hazard abatement requirements. Here are some ways you can safeguard not only your home, but your entire community. These requirements can also be found in their entirety on the district’s web site. Create and Maintain Defensible Space

Defensible space is a term used to describe a 100-foot “buffer zone” around all structures on your property and 30-foot zone along either side of roadways and driveways in which dead and dying vegetation is removed and excess growth is thinned. Defensible space will not only give firefighters a safe place to make a stand against threatening flames, but it has been proven to save homes and minimize property damage. Defensible space can be created by removing combustible vegetation and flammable materials and replanting with drought-tolerant, fire resistive trees, shrubs and plants. Keep vegetation well-maintained and remove any dead foliage throughout the year. Weeds and grasses must be cut below six-inches in height. Trees and native vegetation should not come into direct contact with structures or parts thereof. Tree limbs and foliage must be trimmed 10 feet

New president/CEO plans to expand Ronald McDonald House profile BY CATHERINE KOLONKO Contributor To begin his new position at McDonald House Charities of San Diego, Charles Day walked across the street and closed the final chapter on a 15-yearstint at Children’s Hospital but kept a professional commitment to help sick children and their families. “Every family deserves a home away from home,” said Day, 53, explaining the mission of the Ronald McDonald House. A place to rest that feels more like home than a hospital room or corridor means a great deal to mothers, fathers and siblings who want to spend as much time as possible with a seriously ill child. Around the world Ronald McDonald Houses offer a respite to families during sad as well as joyous times in a sick child’s life. “We see both sides of that spectrum,” explained Day during a recent tour of the 65,000 square-foot Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. New to the job as president and CEO of San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House – he took the helm in December — Day says he wants to elevate the profile of a place that he calls the best kept secret in the community. The facility, formerly located a few blocks from Rady Children’s Hospital, expanded less than two years ago to

accommodate the growing needs of families who come from far reaches of the county and beyond to be by the bedside of their seriously ill or injured children. The family care center offers 47 rooms for overnight stays and is often at 95 to 98 percent capacity, Day said. A typical length stay for any family is about 10 days. Families who can afford it are asked to pay $10 a day but none are turned away because they cannot pay. While staying at Ronald McDonald House, families are close to the hospital and have access to laundry facilities, a dining area and kitchen with individual refrigerators, a kid’s play room, computer room, a hair salon, a room for contemplation or prayer, and an outdoor amphitheater for activities such as puppet shows and barbeques. “Giving a tour here is one of my favorite things to do,“ said Day, extolling the many virtues of the facility and the hundreds of volunteers that keep it operating on a daily schedule. Day says his biggest challenge is securing the future of the Ronald McDonald House. To help meet that goal he frequently attends and promotes fundraising events, large and small, including two recent back-to-back gatherings of a Mardi-Gras- themed cocktail party and cake-decorating

extravaganza. The House, perched atop a parking structure across from Children’s Hospital, served about 19,000 family members in 2010 who used the facility’s daytime amenities and about 1,400 families who stayed in overnight accommodations. One of Day’s main goals in his new position is to find endowments for the facility that can reduce the roughly $15 million construction debt incurred to open the present location. He also looks forward to the day when he can plan for the next house in San Diego County. Speaking of fundraising, Day reaches for a stack of brochures from a table in

his office and mentions the dream house raffle. Proceeds go to the facility and whoever gets the winning ticket gets to chose from either the $1.8 million house featured on the brochure cover or $1.5 million in cash. Day obtained a bachelor’s and master’s in communicative disorders at the University of Redlands. After two years of premed courses at the University of California, San Diego, he gave up plans to become a doctor and took his career in another direction. The shift came after his realization that there were many things he could do well but it did not include the prerequisite chemistry courses, he said. “It was one of those things where my natural talents weren’t with organic chemistry. They were with people,” said Day. “I just basically at that point said it’s time for me to go back to my strengths even though I would have loved to have been a physician.” The non-profit executive has a background in public relations and fundraising. To take his new position at the Ronald McDonald House, Day left a post at Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation where he worked various positions since 1995 on fundraising campaigns, including the final four years as vice president and senior direc-

tor of philanthropy. Early in his career he worked for the Scottish Rite Clinic for Childhood Language Disorders training and supervising a full-time staff and 50 volunteers. Day lives with his wife Paula, daughter Carolyn who is in high school, and a son, Charlie, who will soon be attending San Diego State University. He took great joy being involved with his children’s athletic activities when they were younger and now enjoys attending live theater in his free time. Over the years, the family travelled through the United States on family vacations and during one excursion followed the steps of the nation’s founding fathers in the Boston Freedom Trail. Day jokes that his children, at the time ages 10 and 13, thought their parents were trying to kill them but now love to tell stories about their experiences and think of it as one of the most memorable family treks. As a manager, Day says he tries to provide employees opportunities to excel and take on new challenges and to keep in mind that no one person is more important than the charity’s mission. “I try to lead by example and at the same time encourage others to do as much as they can to reach their potential.” What may surprise

many is that the Ronald McDonald House is not funded by Rady Children’s or McDonald’s. Though it does get a small part of its budget from local franchise fundraising, the charity is mostly financed through philanthropic donations and needs support from the community to thrive, said Day. The facility relies greatly on in-kind donations from approximately 45 corporations and local businesses as well as a large contention of volunteers who help with food service, cleaning, laundry and administrative tasks such as answering telephones. Day says in these tough economic times he needs to be fearless in attempts to convince potential donors to give to the Ronald McDonald House. The key is sharing the message that children who are ill need their families and the best way to do that is to provide a Ronald McDonald House. “In this business, it’s all about being willing to go and have somebody say no and then go on to the next person and the next person and sometimes go back to the first person whose no sometimes will turn into a yes,” Day said. “Perseverance is key.” For more information, visit www.rmhcsd.org and www.sdraffle.com for the dream house.

Solana Santa Fe students thank Boy Scout Solana Santa Fe Elementary students recently had the opportunity to thank a local Boy Scout for constructing a pergola in their school garden. The school held a garden party on March 4 to celebrate the completion of the new structure, which provides a shaded area over the picnic tables for students. Wesley Morberg, from Troop 2000 in Olivenhain, spent two weekends with the help of his father and troop, to build the pergola. Morberg, who attends San Dieguito Academy, has been a Boy Scout for three years and is working toward becoming an Eagle Scout. This is the highest rank a Scout can achieve and is only reached by a small percentage of Scouts, according to the Boy Scouts of America. In order to achieve this rank, a Boy Scout must fulfill certain requirements in the areas of leadership, service and outdoor skills. As a Scout, Morberg has learned about first aid and how to tie basic knots which he says have been useful during the backpacking trips he has taken with his troop. His advice to others considering the Boy Scout program is to give it a chance and get involved. “It’s a really good program,” says Morberg. “I’ve met new people and made a lot of friends.” — Stacey Phillips (Above from left, clockwise, left to right) Sam Tardif and Jack Chine enjoying the garden with a friendly dinosaur; Wesley Morberg, a local Boy Scout, meets Solana Santa Fe’s Principal Julie Norby; Solana Santa Fe students and Wesley Morberg celebrate the completion of the new pergola; Danica Martin and a friend help release lady bugs in the school garden as part of the festivities.

Franklin Zalman, M.D.

Profile

Cardiologist, who fled persecution as a boy in Romania, helps North County residents lead heart-healthy lives BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN “Know your numbers,” Dr. Franklin Zalman strongly recommends. “And the numbers everyone should know are basically your blood pressure, your cholesterol and your fasting blood sugar.” Why? Because those numbers, together with your family’s health history, are indicators of whether you may be a candidate for a heart attack. And Zalman should know. He has been detecting, treating and preventing cardiac and vascular diseases for almost three decades. He’s a practicing cardiologist and, since 2002, the founding president and medical director of the non-profit Cardiovascu-

lar Disease Foundation in Carlsbad. We interviewed the 56-year-old physician in his office in Del Mar. Incidentally, the ideal numbers for your blood pressure are 110 to 130 over 70 to 80; total cholesterol less than 200, better yet, less than 180, with the good cholesterol (HDL) greater than 45 and the bad cholesterol (LDL) lower than 120; and your fasting blood sugar, under 100. The numbers are usually obtained in your annual physical exam and are undoubtedly on a chart somewhere. “But we believe the patient himself or herself should know them so then they are more likely able to make wise choices,” Zalman said. “So that when a

Quick Facts Name: Franklin Zalman, M.D. Distinction: Local cardiologist and coronary interventionalist Dr. Zalman is the founding president and medical director of the non-profit Cardiovascular Disease Foundation, Carlsbad, dedicated to informing the community about heart disease and stroke prevention. Born: Jassy, Romania, 56 years ago Education: B.A. in biochemistry, UCLA, 1976; M.A in physiology, 1977-79, and M.D., 1976-81, University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco; internship and residency in internal medicine, UCLA, 1981-84; cardiology fellowship, UCLA, 1984-86; coronary angioplasty fellowship, Baptist Medical Center, Oklahoma City, 1987. Family: Divorced. Grown daughter, Sandra. Professional interests: Interventional and preventive cardiology Personal interests: Hiking, walking, scuba diving, low impact exercise, travel and reading. Recent reading: “The Glass Castle,” 2005 bestselling memoir by Jeannette Walls; and “Hollywood,” 1989 novel by Charles Bukowski. Favorite vacations: Hawaii, Yellowstone, and scuba diving in the Maldives Favorite films: “Independence Day,” and “The King’s Speech.” Philosophy: “It stems my parents who were optimists... With a little bit of grace, hard work, and good will from people, a lot can be accomplished. I’m grateful. For every day we are healthy, it’s a wonderful day.”

little snack is being offered or that dessert or maybe even that extra glass of orange juice, when they know their blood sugar is borderline, maybe they don’t need those sugar calories. “And if someone has already had a heart attack, then we need to be even stricter with those numbers … And if they can’t reach those numbers with nutrition and exercise, then we have to use medication to do so.” Zalman was born in Yassy, Romania, a town with a dark, centuries-old history of anti-Semitism and pogroms. Zalman was 9 when he and his parents fled Jewish persecution in Communist-controlled Romania and immigrated to the United States via Italy in 1964. “We learned our English in Italy,” he recalled. The family lived initially in St. Paul, Minnesota, and moved to Los Angeles in 1966, Zalman’s father worked in a warehouse filling orders, then “worked for a gentleman delivering milk, eggs and butter to restaurants and homes,” and then eventually opened his own business. Zalman loved growing up in LA, he said. “It was sunny, the beach, bicycles and lots of cousins.” In junior high, Zalman said he thought he might eventually become an architect, but while attending Fairfax High, a 9th grade biology teacher and a 10th grade chemistry teacher sparked his interest in science. At UCLA in 1976, he earned his undergraduate degree in biochemistry, followed by a master’s degree in physiology and his M.D. from the University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco, in 1979 and 1981 respectively. He did his internal medicine internship, residency and a cardiology fellowship at UCLA’s Department of Medicine from 1981 to 1986; and a coronary angioplasty fellowship at Baptist Medical Center, Oklahoma City in 1987.

lifestyle in terms of their eating and exercise habits.” In 2002, Zalman cofounded the Cardiovascular Disease Foundation in Carlsbad, dedicated to helping the public benefit from the advances made in the treatment, detection and prevention of cardiac and vascular diseases. The foundation (www. cvdf.org) offers a number of free health programs town-hall style educational lectures, health screenings, a healthy heart nutrition program, “healthy habits/ healthy kids” talks, and an access-to-health program for patients to find efficient outpatient healthcare. “I believe that preventive cardiology can prevent up to 80 percent of heart attacks and strokes,” he said. As a cardiologist, he wears different hats. “When I’m on call for the emergency room [at Scripps Memorial Hospital, La Jolla] for heart attack patients, I’m there as an interventional cardiologist. In the office, I do a lot primary prevention, secondary prevention and follow-up. And, with the foundation, it is all prevention.” Asked about the current state of cardiology in the U.S., Zalman said, “In general, we have made tremendous progress in the last 30 years.” Treatment tools have been miniaturized, procedures have become less risky, the re-narrowing rate [of treated arteries] has decreased significantly by the use of stents, and preventive strategies have been increased by knowing how to treat blood pressure more effectively, lowering (bad) cholesterol and the use of aspirin as an effective preventive medication. Exercise and healthy nutrition are big plus factors in combating heart disease, he said. “Although the rate of heart disease has stayed relatively steady,” he said, the good news is that “deaths from heart disease have decreased.”

Earl Warren student helps build home for family in need BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer Noa Eaton is in many ways your typical seventhgrader. She stays busy with homework, horseback riding and the occasional soccer game. But for the past several months, this local resident and Earl Warren student has been doing something not-so-typical of kids her age. Eaton has been raising money to build a home for a family in Tijuana through Casas de Luz, something she took the initiative to do in celebration of her upcoming bat mitzvah. “A house can be more than a place to live; it can be a new start for a family,” Eaton said, and that’s especially true in Tijuana, where many families live in makeshift shacks. “We live here and we have so much, and you go down there [to Tijuana] and they have so little.” It’s a reality Eaton first encountered in fifthgrade when she helped build a home in Tijuana through Casas de Luz for a

Girl Scouts project. Building that house only took a weekend, but its benefits are still being reaped today. “We built a house for a pastor and his family, and now they use it to host Bible study, and they are very proud of their home. You really can change someone’s life in one weekend.” Eaton is now hoping to change another family’s life over a weekend in May. She will be returning to Tijuana with a group of volunteers to celebrate Mother’s Day by building a home for a mother and her family. “I am very excited to meet the family I will be building the home for — that is one of the best parts of this. Even though you don’t speak the same language, you bond with them very much over that weekend. When you finally get to hand them the keys to their new house, it’s a good feeling. There is usually a lot of crying and hugging.” The payoff of finally being able to hand over those keys to a family in need is something Eaton

Anyone interested attending can send an email to Stacey Eaton at staceygeaton@ me.com. has been working toward since August. In order to raise the $4,000 required for the new home, the 12-year-old wrote letters to friends and neighbors asking for help, and organized fundraising dinners at the homes of relatives and friends. “What has been so impressive to me is how she has taken full responsibility for this project,” said Solana Beach resident Kathy Faller, who has been a volunteer with Casas de Luz

for many years. “Watching her in action at the fundraisers, she speaks up and can clearly articulate her reasons for wanting to do this and why it’s so significant for the family that receives the home.” In fact, Eaton did such a good job at one of her fundraisers that she was encouraged to apply for a grant through The Patricia and Christopher Weil Family Foundation. Her letter was so impressive that not only did she get the grant, but the foundation has also offered to build a second home for a family in Tijuana in October. “I want to say thank you very much to all the people who helped me do this,” said Eaton, who belongs to Congregation Beth Israel of San Diego and will celebrate her bat mitzvah this summer. “None of this would have been possible without all the people in this neighborhood who helped me.” For more information about Casas de Luz, please email Kathy Faller at faller. kathy@gmail.com.

CCA student wins ‘Greeks Got Talent’ competition BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER

Emily Laliotis, a 15-year-old freshman at Canyon Crest Academy, was proclaimed the winner of the “Greeks Got Talent” competition on Feb. 18 in Ontario. Emily sang and strummed her guitar to the Adele song “Hometown Glory” to win the contest, which was judged, in part, by Greek recording star Thanos Petrelis and music producer Vangelis Giannopoulos. “I’m very passionate about music, it’s been a huge part of my life since I was little,” Emily said. In the performance, available for viewing on youtube, Emily sang with a rich, soulful voice, showing off her range with a pretty and soft soprano. The audience of about 2,000 people began to cheer mid-song when she hit a particularly powerful verse. “This was fantastic really, I’m really amazed,” said

Emily Laliotis judge Giannopoulos. “I’m a professional for 25 years and you’re just 15. This is absolutely great.” Another judge said Emily gave her the chills and Petrelis said that Emily had a magnetic presence and hypnotized the audience. There were about 12 other competitors in the contest, all of whom were “fantastic,” Emily said. “It was really anyone’s game, there was such variety,” she said. Her win earned her $1,000, a free trip to next

year’s contest and a singing lesson with a Greek singer. Emily has been singing as long as she can remember and started playing guitar three years ago—she often records songs to put on youtube. The Carmel Valley resident also does musical theater and hopes to get more involved in CCA’s offerings. Emily said she dabbles a bit in songwriting and is excited to take her school’s digital composing class next year. Winning “Greeks Got Talent” was an honor for Emily as she is proud of her Greek roots. She does Greek dancing and is active in her church, Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Encinitas. “It’s nice because I know a lot more about my culture and my heritage than a lot of kids do,” Emily said.

Canyon Crest Academy students launch filmmaking company BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER

Canyon Crest Academy juniors Jason Segal, Kush Rawal and Hunter Peterson have started their own business, Cinema 595, putting their talents and knowledge of filmmaking to work. The Carmel Valley teens can film any event, from horseback riding shows to weddings, edit together old media and create music videos or help with original films. “We’re very flexible with what our clients need us to do,” Jason said. “We all bring a broad variety of skills to the table,” added Kush. While all are busy with full Advanced Placement course loads, they will always make time for filmmaking. They already have Cinema 595 jobs lined up this month and are looking forward to the opportunity and experience to work and create. “We have a deep passion for filmmaking, we just all really love making films so it’s not a job for us,”

WILDFIRE continued from page 4 from rooftops, chimneys, and outdoor barbecues. Mature trees must be pruned back at least four to six feet from structures and branches trimmed six feet off the ground. Roofs and Rooftops Most homes with woodshake roofs do not survive wildfires. During a fire storm, these homes burn from the outside-in. If you own a wood roof, there is no more time to delay; retro-fit your home with a roof made of non-combustible materials. Many such roofing materials are now made to look like wood-shake so homeowners can experience the aesthetic qualities they desire while making their home a defendable one. For all homeowners, a non-combustible roof can become a combustible roof quite easily if leaf litter and debris accumulate on your roof. To safeguard your roof, regularly maintain your

Jason said. The new company comes on the heels of Jason and Kush’s successful computer-help business Equarius Consulting, started last summer. Equarius has kept their weekends busy for the last seven months, sometimes working double

roof and rain gutters free from any debris. Roadways and Driveways Keep roadways and driveways clear from overhanging vegetation, which may hinder both evacuation efforts and access of incoming fire engines. From the edge of driveways and roadways, measure 13feet, 6-inches straight up from the ground. Any overhanging bushes or branches in this area must be pruned back or removed to create vertical tree clearance. Other Important Items • Remove dead palm fronds on Palm Trees within 100 feet from a structure or 30 feet from a roadway/driveway. • Trim combustible vegetation 10-feet away from propane (LPG) tanks, and keep wood piles at least 30-feet away from any structure on your property. • Stack and store firewood 30 feet from all structures. All flammable vegetation and combustible materials must be cleared or removed within 30 feet of firewood stacks. • Maintain a visible address. Whether it’s a wildfire

or an every-day emergency, firefighters need to be able to read your address. Your address number should be visible from the street, with numerals at least 4-inches in height, mounted on a contrasting background. • If you own a private gate, it must be equipped with an approved fire district gate access switch and/or strobe sensor to allow firefighters to access your property during emergencies. Additionally, during wildfires, many firefighters arrive from out of the area and won’t be able to access your gated property. During a wildfire, disconnect the manual override motor on your electric gate, or if you have a manual gate, leave the gate open. Otherwise, firefighters may have to use blunt force on your gate, causing significant damage. If you have questions regarding vegetation management, please contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at 858756-5971.

servatory program at Canyon Crest, earning a very valuable education in the art. They’ve learned filming, editing, audio-work, and color correction “from the pros,” Jason said, as the conservatory brings working professionals into the classroom as guest artists to teach the students. Guest artists this year are Tom O’Hara, who owns his own business filming weddings, and Destin Cretton, who won a Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival last year for his short film “Short Term 12.” Hunter, who has been making films since he was a sixth grader, said they recently spoke to a CCA graduate who told them how wellprepared she was for film school at Emerson from what she learned in conservatory. “This program puts us ahead of all of the other students to the point where when we go to film school, we’ll blow everyone of the water with what we have learned and what we’ve made,” Hunter said.

“The teachers really encourage us to make our own films,” Kush said, “They know the best way to learn is though involvement, by actually doing it.” The three became close in conservatory classes and worked together on Hunter’s film. The trio also puts together the weekly school TV show CCA TV, equating the Friday show to a real job for how much work they put into it. Jason said teacher Mark Raines, a documentary filmmaker, has taught them one of the most important lessons of filmmaking: how to work well with others. “He teaches us how the real world works and that you have to be a cohesive unit,” Jason said. The friends and now business partners agree that working well together is just one more filmmaking skill they’ve mastered. For more information, visit cinema595.com or call (858) 334-5577

Grading transparency By Marsha Sutton A report issued Feb. 24 by the First Amendment rights group Californians Aware audited the responsiveness of school districts that were asked for records of their most recent outof-court settlement agreements. The point was not necessarily to review the material but to examine how transparent and responsive each public agency is. CalAware graded the agencies by beginning with 100 points and subtracting 10 points for each infraction. If the agency blocked the request entirely, it lost the entire 100 points. The San Dieguito Union High School District received an A+, the highest of all local districts, with no offenses. The Del Mar Union School District received an A, losing 10 points for the following offense: “Failed to provide Tort Claim that resulted in the Settlement Agreement within 60 days (or satisfactorily demonstrate that none exist) – Poway Unified

Marsha Sutton School District v. Superior Court, 62 Cal.App.4th 1496 (1998).” The Solana Beach School District received an F, for failing in seven separate areas and losing 10 points for each. The Rancho Santa Fe School District received a D, for failing in four separate areas, costing 10 points each. Offenses for both Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe included, among other violations, not responding within the required 10 days and not assisting in identifying and/or providing responsive records. Solana Beach also failed for the same tort claim offense as Del Mar’s. And Ran-

cho Santa Fe also failed for the following: “Replied that the request should be submitted on an agency form or by letter to the agency prior to complying with the request – OR – Requested information such as the purpose of request, what the records would be used for, or the requester’s address, phone, or affiliation prior to complying to the request.” For nearby districts, Poway Unified received an A+, Encinitas received a B, and Carlsbad Unified and San Diego Unified both received an F. This was the third and final phase of a California Public Records Act audit by CalAware, which contacted more than 250 California agencies, including nearly 200 K-12 school districts. CalAware reported that over half the districts failed decisively. Some districts disagreed with the labeled offenses and criticized the exercise for its narrow definitions of acceptable responsiveness. The full list can be viewed at: www.calaware.org.

Stand Up for Rady Children’s Hospital A spectacular evening was enjoyed by all at the “Stand Up for Rady Children’s Peckham Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders, an Evening With Dana Carvey” fundraiser held March 12. Hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, the event was held at the Grand Del Mar. The annual fundraiser began with cocktails and a variety of delectable food stations to choose from during the silent auction. After the silent auction, guests moved to theater seating for the live auction and signature portion of the evening: a one-hour Las Vegas style performance by Saturday Night alum Dana Carvey. The festivities continued with cocktails, dessert and dancing. Carvey held a private meet and greet with the event’s top sponsors, including sponsors Relational Investors, Cushman & Wakefield, Crest Beverage, and the event’s Title Sponsor McCain Inc. Proceeds will benefit the Peckham Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders at Rady Children’s Hospital. For more information, visit www.rcha-rsf.org.

POLICY continued from page 1 and the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth. The class started in 2010 as a pilot program at San Dieguito Academy after numerous teen car crashes and related fatalities occurred throughout San Diego in 2009, including the deaths of local students Alex Capozza of Torrey Pines and William Wardrip of Santa Fe Christian. The pilot program was so effective that the district decided to pick it up and make it part of their parking permit requirements. “Research shows that kids get in more accidents during their first driving years and also kids now have so many distractions,” said Barbara Gordon, Start Smart coordinator. Distractions like other teens, music, cell phones and texting can be very dangerous, in addition to the obvious problems caused by drugs and alcohol. “It’s great thing for the parents and students to take this class together because it opens up the opportunity to have that conversation about driving,” Gordon said. “It’s not a right but a privilege to drive.”

Kral said it’s harder to learn to drive these days because on top of all the distractions, there’s more traffic and everybody is in a hurry. She said her daughter had a hard time learning to drive because people were so rude that they wouldn’t let her merge into lanes and closely tailed behind. Lessons learned in Start Smart class are good reminders for parents, as well. “Adults should be kinder out on the road, maybe that’s a teen driver, maybe it’s someone who doesn’t know the area,” Kral said. “Pretend it’s your neighbor and have a little patience and kindness on the road.” Kral said one of the class leaders, CHP Officer Eric Newbury, was very engaging and made the issue of driver safety very personal as he revealed that a drunk driver had killed his father. “It really hit home with the audience,” Kral said. Every family leaves with an AAA driving contract, as well as a packet from the California Bar Association that goes over in detail all the laws that pertain to adolescents. Classes will be held at 6 p.m. at Torrey Pines on March 28 and May 19, with one Saturday class on April

2 at 10 a.m. There are two remaining classes at Canyon Crest Academy on March 22 and May 25, both at 6 p.m. To register or for more information, e-mail tpstartsmart@ gmail.com or ccastartsmart@ gmail.com.

COUNTY continued from page 1 “This idea today, I think, is long overdue,” said Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who does not currently own a horse but has been riding since she was 3 years old. “It’s exploring options for updating the equine regulations in this county,” Jacob said. “What we’re trying to get at is to take a serious look at these regulations.” Because horse ownership for non-commercial purposes or for off-site activities, such as shows or racing, is not subject to county land use regulations on a parcel zoned for large animals, an exact horse population is not available, although a Ramona Equine Industrial Network survey produced an estimate of approximately 11,000 horses in Ramona

alone. “It’s a large economic factor that cannot be ignored,” said current Ramona Equine Industrial Network president Arvie Degenfelder. “For a time we had more feed stores than we had markets.” “The equestrian community is still a very strong factor in the Bonita community,” said Supervisor Greg Cox. “Equestrian activities and facilities are a way of life in a large part of my district,” said Supervisor Bill Horn. “I truly believe that the county should be encouraging, rather than discouraging, reasonable and appropriate activities involving horses,” Jacob said. “I believe some of the regulations are quite onerous.” The San Luis Rey Downs Thoroughbred Training Center in Bonsall will likely be considered a major operation, but San Luis Rey Downs general manager Leigh Ann Howard is also the current president of the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association. “This is a very important issue for actually all the horse people,” Howard said. “I

think that an awful lot of regulations and laws need to be looked at.” Thoroughbred breeding operations take place on farms (as do breeding operations for show horses of other breeds). Racehorses are sent to trainers for breaking and early training before undergoing race-specific training. The average racehorse competes on the track until he or she is 4 or 5. “They go on to second careers, and they’re the horses people have in their back yards or in boarding stables,” Howard said. In 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved a tiered winery ordinance which exempts wineries on agriculturally-zoned land and producing up to 12,000 gallons per year from discretionary permits to have on-site sales and tasting rooms. The ordinance includes restrictions on facility size and operations, and appropriate building permits are still required. Wineries producing between 12,000 and 120,000 gallons per year may have tasting rooms and on-site sales with an Administrative Use Permit while a Major Use Permit is still required for wineries producing more than 120,000 gallons. County staff worked with local wineries, grape growers, and the San Diego County Farm Bureau to develop the tiered winery ordinance. The development of a tiered equestrian ordinance and other updates to equestrian regulations will involve a review of state law and of activities undertaken by other jurisdictions. County departments, which will be involved in the development of the updates, will include the Department of Planning and Land Use, the Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures, the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Department of Public Works. A Programmatic Environmental Impact Report was required for the winery ordinance and will likely also be needed for significant changes in equine regulations. “This will make it more reasonable in every respect,” Degenfelder said. “It’s very good news.”

continued from page 2 “The school took a lot of time with the architecture and the extra finishes to keep in step with the neighborhood, “ said Paul Olson of Hunter Construction. The 12,000-squarefoot gym will have full-size basketball and volleyball courts with roll-out seating. The gym will be able to host more than 500 people in those padded, individual seats and the school will have flexibility to hold other events in the gym, such as chapel services and plays. There will also be boys and girls locker rooms outfitted with showers. “It’s a nice building, it’s going to be a super cool gym,� Olson said. The gym will be the largest of the seven new campus buildings, with a grand entrance they plan on calling “The Lion’s Den.� The school mascot lion will be painted on the wall and the Horizon Prep crest on the concrete floor. The project also includes revamping the school’s sports fields—they will now have three full

The fields are slated to be seeded in April. “We plan to partner with Rancho Santa Fe Soccer and other community groups to utilize these fields,� Grizzle said. “One of the things that is most exciting about building out the school is that we really see it as an opportunity to share our resources with the community.� The recreational facilities, including that huge gym, are going to be all top notch, Grizzle said. In their next phase of the project, the school plans to put in a competition-size swimming pool. The second phase will also include a new administration building close to their El Apajo Road frontage. That second phase will involve removing the current campus’ portable classrooms, a process that is bittersweet as some will be sad to see the charming green and white cottages go. “We’re in the process of finding them happy homes,� Grizzle said.

Oceanside, Vista and Carlsbad. “I think the long and short of it is they are trying to find reasons for why they are finding themselves on the losing side of the survey. I think the survey speaks for itself, that the people don’t support the sale,� said Zimmerman. Emerson said he gave the survey to C. Richard Hofstetter, a political science professor at San Diego State University and an expert in scientific polling, to analyze. In a piece published on the Sandpiper website, Hofstetter wrote that some of the ques-

to district residents and made available on Garrick’s website, and also given to outside organizations such as the 22nd District Agricultural Association for distribution, said Zimmerman. A fairgrounds spokeswoman said the survey was sent out to some 140,000 addresses on the 22nd DAA’s email list. Staff in Garrick’s office tallied the responses and checked them against a constituent database to weed out duplicates, Zimmerman said. The survey remains available on Garrick’s website, http://arc.asm.ca.gov/ member/74/, for those who want to register their opinion on the deal, Zimmerman said.

Emerson, who reported on the discussion at one of the six tables. Emerson also questioned whether activities found “quite objectionable in our town,� could be prohibited at the fairgrounds. While he did not specifically mention gun shows, he drew a laugh from the crowd when he stated, “I’m not armed.� Another issue raised in his table’s discussion, said Emerson, was that residents want to weigh in on the sale before it is finalized, whether through an election, or a survey sent out in utility bills. “It’s a strong tradition

in this town,� Emerson said. “When we make a big decision, we all decide. Everybody has a say.� Other issues raised during the workshop included ensuring that any shortfalls in the fairgrounds’ operating budget are not made up from the city’s general fund; requiring that the city of Del Mar have control over landuse decisions regarding the fairgrounds property; and protecting the rights of fairgrounds employees during the transition from state to city ownership.

Such polls, wrote Hofstetter, “are generally understood as supporting political goals rather than representing opinion.� Zimmerman said Garrick does not support the current proposal to sell the fairgrounds to Del Mar for $120 million, a price he believes is too low, and he wants to ensure that existing activities such as horse racing and the annual county fair remain at the facility.

Rancho Bernardo beats TPHS in close season opener By Chris Watson (Torrey Pines HS Yearbook Staff) The turnout exceeded expectations and the taco booth was a huge hit, but unfortunately the winner of a close lacrosse season opener was Rancho Bernardo. Torrey’s new head coach Jonathan Zissi, fresh from a successful coaching position at Tufts University, was determined to come out strong early in the game. Before the face off he said: “We’re going to play fast, we’re going play aggressive, we’re going to play fearless and just try to make stuff happen.” The game began as Coach Zissi had hoped with quick goals from Falcons Zach Zien and John Wilson to put TP in the lead 2-0. However, Rancho Bernardo stepped up and began to play their game as they countered with a successful shot from Jack Yeatman. Then Joe Belestrieri tied up the game a couple minutes later to end the first quarter at 2-2.

In the second quarter the Torrey boys allowed three goals. Broncos Blake Heidrich, assisted by Tyler Ekeroth, flipped the first in. Teammates Colin Arthurs and Tyler Ekeroth would later earn their first goals of the night. Despite several shots, Torrey couldn’t materialize a score and the half was brought to an end with RB up 5-2 over the Falcons. At halftime, with the scoreboard favoring the opposition and the taco bar virtually sold out, coach Zissi had work to do. Coming onto the field in second half it was clear the Falcons had revamped their strategy. They played more aggressively on offense and scored goals from Andrew Perkins, Bennett “The John Wilson Ocho” Shafer and Sean Doyle (last year’s top scorer). Unfortunately, RB’s Yeatman answered back with another goal and goalie Zach Weaver, made some key stops. Weaver was the team’s biggest factor in stopping Cornell bound Doyle who only hit the back of the net once the entire night. RB’s Justin Adams made one more, bringing their lead to 7-5 at the end of the third quarter. As the fourth quarter launched the Falcons put the past behind them and stayed determined. They showed a lot of heart with sophomores Bennett Shafer scoring his second and goalie Jake Kennedy allowing only one past him. Jake finished the night with nine saves. However, Yeatman did obtain his third goal, earning a hat trick for the night. The LAX*MEX night came to a close with the score 8-6, and RB getting the W. Coach Zissi was reflective but not all together disappointed, especially with the team lacking star Sophomore Lucas Gradinger. “It’s a whole new coaching staff with a lot of young guys,” shared Zissi. “We expect to win every game. But it’s going to take us a full season to get all the offenses and defenses down, all the philosophies, all the mindsets.” New Head Coach Zissi clearly was here to perform and hopefully he can bring his past success to Torrey in future game

North Coast Rep to mark 30th season with eight shows BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Marking 30 years as an entertainment organization is a milestone and one David Ellenstein, artistic director of the North Coast Repertory Theatre, is proud to celebrate. Since 1982, the nonprofit theater has entertained audiences with nearly every genre of story, and has managed to stay relevant and vibrant in a county alive with prestigious theater. With no enormous budget for productions, no lengthy staff roster or list of operating improvements, North Coast Rep has maintained steady attendance through its choice of timely, engaging plays. The 30th season has just been announced and looks to be as exciting as ever. Ellenstein and Jay Sarno, 1st vice president, board of trustees, for North Coast Rep, answered some questions about its state of affairs and hoped for expansion. Q. Did the past season suffer any because of the economy? Ellenstein: Not at all. Q. What are your goals for the new season?

David Ellenstein Ellenstein: To create the best theater we ever have, increase attendance and contributed income, and draw new audiences. Q. Are there any special plans for the 30th year anniversary? Ellenstein: We are producing “The Lion In Winter,� a play from Season One to honor the anniversary. There will also be a 30th Anniversary kick-off party. Q. How are your oneand two-night only offerings doing? Ellenstein: For the most part, extremely well. With a mix of comedy, music, filmnoir and standout productions, we aimed for audience diversification. We’re using our dark nights to present alternative entertainment with a different appeal than our main stage shows.

Q. How is the community responding to kids’ camp? Ellenstein: Great. The attendance is growing every year. We’re looking forward to our best yet. Q. How do you want the community to perceive North Coast Rep? Ellenstein: As a top quality professional theater. Not a community theater, but a theater for the community that puts on world-class intimate productions. Q. What is the theater’s annual budget? Sarno: $1.65 million. Q. How are the plans for a new theater progressing? Sarno: It’s still a dream we plan on achieving. The staff and management are looking forward to the day when North Coast Rep can move into a new home where the work of the theater can flourish. Ellenstein message on NCRT website: “North Coast Repertory Theatre has been offered a ground lease on which to build a new home in the Lomas Santa Fe Shopping Plaza. American Assets Inc., which owns the property, is proposing a major renovation of the entire center.

As a result of this alternative, North Coast Rep is withdrawing from the Cedros Crossing Train Station Redevelopment Project. We are very excited about this new opportunity and are looking forward to working with American Assets and the City of Solana Beach to build our new twotheater complex. The new building will be built in the parking area near our existing space. As more details of our plans and progress become available, we will post them on our site.â€? North Coast Repertory Theater’s 30th season will run September-March with these eight shows on the marquee: • “Lend Me a Tenor.â€? Sept. 10-Oct. 2, an awardwinning Broadway screwball comedy • “Heroes.â€? Oct. 22-Nov. 13, winner of the Laurence Olivier Best New Comedy award • “The Lion in Winter.â€? Jan. 7-29, 2012, twelfth century monarchs struggle with marriage, family • “Visiting Mister Green.â€? Feb. 18-March 11, examines stereotypes, family, loneliness and friendship

A scene from ‘The Lion In Winter’ • “This.â€? April 7-29, melancholy comedy about a group of close friends entering the choppy waters of middle age • “The Loverâ€? and “The Dumb Waiter.â€? May 26-June 17, two from Harold Pinter • “Dames at Sea.â€? July 7 29, A musical favorite • “HENRY IV, Part 1.â€? March 2-18, Mira Costa College/North Coast Repertory Theatre co-production to be performed at Mira Costa College Theater. This show is not part of the regular season subscription. Did you know? In 1982, North Coast Rep’s founders, Tom Blakistone, an engineer and smallbusiness entrepreneur, and his wife Olive were celebrat-

ing his retirement with a cruise to the Caribbean. Prior to their departure they had presented a business plan to the owner of a mall in Solana Beach to locate a new theatre on his property. Just before they left on their trip, they learned their proposal had been accepted and instead of retiring, they found themselves embarking on totally new careers. Since opening, North Coast Rep has continued to provide an ever-increasing level of professionalism within each production. Initially an all-volunteer community theatre, North Coast Rep now operates under an Actors’ Equity contract.

One must ask they do not need to. But, as then, why does a select group with small children and adoof young adults choose to lescents, parents need to step “go party,” rather than go in when they are concerned home? that harm may be in their There is not a single child’s path, such as spring answer to this question, but break given the numersome of the reasons might in- ous horror stories that have

made the news over the past number of years. One must also keep in mind that negative outcomes increase when around others in the same conditions. Furthermore, the so-called spring break destination sites capitalize on taking advantage of the young and naive college student. The good news, however, is that despite college, most parents still have a certain amount of influence in reference to their children if they have maintained a healthy relationship with them, but many parents choose to “not” interfere with their children because they believe they are “adults now,” think that they need to be on their own and learn from their own mistakes. This is a pathway to disaster. A comparison would be if you had an adult friend who was struggling, would you lend a hand, or let them flounder? I hope the answer was help, as this is a core component of any friendship. A parent’s relationship with a child naturally matures, but always has the best interests and caring for one’s child and over time, and, as the child matures, parents and children become more contemporary and reciprocal. College students, however, are still developing and trying to do so away from home. When spring breaks go sideways, it is always a cry for help to the parents of that student but communicated in behavior, rather than words. In fact, once any parent hears that their child is planning on going on spring break alone with a group of peers, the invested parent needs to discuss the trip and determine as to whether or not it is in the best interests of their child to go. Key Points: 1. Spring break party trips can be very dangerous. 2. Parents need to discuss the trip and evaluate whether the trip is a good or bad idea. 3. College age does NOT necessarily equal maturity. 4. Parents need to determine if the trip is a cry for help. 5. As an alternative, plan fun family vacations and let them bring a friend from college.

Scripps Spinoff: Auction for Life set for May 5 The 20th Anniversary Spinoff: Auction for Life, Wonders of the World, will be held on Thursday, May 5, at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. San Diego’s premier live and silent auction event will transform into a majestic-themed journey around the globe, featuring hundreds of must-have auction items with cocktails and dinner. Proceeds from the lively evening will benefit clinical research and early detection, education and patient support services at Scripps Cancer Center, Stevens Division. Guests will have an opportunity to bid during silent and live auctions on luxury items and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to travel to legendary landscapes and tour remarkable ruins. The cocktail reception and silent auction begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by the live auction, dinner and presentation. This year, Karen Fine and Abeer Hage will co-chair the event, which will commemorate two decades of supporting lifesaving care at Scripps Cancer Center, Stevens Division. Treating more than 50 types of cancer, Scripps Cancer Center, Stevens Division, is one of the leading oncology centers in the region and relies on Spinoff and other philanthropic support to fund 100 percent of its lifesaving programs and services. In 1980, John S. Trombold, MD, helped launch the first Spinoff event for Scripps Cancer Center, Stevens Division, as a tennis tournament at the San Diego Tennis and Racquet Club, adding an auction to the event in 1991. Today, although no longer a tennis tournament, Spinoff continues as an auction to benefit lifesaving cancer care, paying homage to its tennis roots, as appropriately named “Spinoff: Auction for Life.” For tickets and to learn more about the 20th Anniversary Spinoff Auction, please visit www.Scripps-Spinoff.org or call Lindsay Rhine Petersen at 858-678-6349.

Week in sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Girls soccer: Torrey Pines capped off an unforgettable season with an amazing finish. Just a week after winning the San Diego Section Division I title, the Falcons claimed the Southern California regional championship with a decisive 5-2 victory over Bullard of Fresno in the March 12 Div. I title game at Warren High of Downey. The regional championship marked the end of longtime coach Dennis Costello’s career at the Falcons’ helm. Costello ranks this year’s team among the best he’s ever coached since taking over the program in 1986. He started out as an assistant a year before that. Several players have publicly stated that sending Costello off a winner fueled the Falcons’ postseason run. “They can play for me, but the way I look at it as they played for themselves because this is something they’ll have for the rest of their lives,” Costello said. “Everything they’ve done for me I’m certainly ap-

preciative, but they’re saying this is for (me) and I’m saying this is for them, so I guess everything balances out.” The regional championship game followed a 4-1 win against Ayala of Chino Hills on March 8 and a 3-0 victory over El Camino Real of Woodland Hills two days later. UCLA-bound Kylie McCarthy had a game for the ages, scoring four goals to lead the Falcons. Two-sport star Katie Trees, who’s headed to Duke to play soccer and lacrosse, scored one goal in the last game of her storied Falcons soccer career. Olivia Buechler, Jackie Friedman and Nicole Sherwin each had one assist. Friedman, McCarthy, Trees and Courtney Massimino each scored one goal and Alexandra Bailey had two assists to lead the Falcons in the Ayala game. Falcons goalie Heather Schlesier had four saves. Buechler, Trees and Massimino each scored one goal and Bailey had two assists in the ECR game. Falcons goalie Hunter

Rittgers had four saves. The Falcons won their last nine games and were unbeaten in their last 11 as they improved their overall record for the season to 232-4. They outscored their opponents by a combined 93-19. “We just sort of built into a very, very good team,” Costello said. “We started off as individuals, you’ve got players coming in from all over the place, and the whole idea is to try to blend them as one, and game by game they just got better. “They really played exceptionally well in the playoffs, from the finals against Poway in the (San Diego Section) finals right through to the (regional) finals.” Baseball: A year after graduating left-handed pitching sensation Michael Fagan, a fresh new crop of San Diego Jewish Academy players seem to be filling in just fine for the Lions SDJA on March 10 overcame a four-run deficit in an 11-5 victory over High Tech in the nonleague Eagles tournament.

combined for four hits and five RBI to lead the route. ***** Great pitching and timely hitting have helped Torrey Pines reel off four straight wins to start the season. The Falcons defeated Great Oak of Temecula 3-2 and Carlsbad by the same score in nonleague games on March 10 and March 12. Brian Thene struck out eight batters and allowed one run on six hits and one walk to lead the Falcons in the Great Oak game. Reed Mason’s two-run homer highlighted a threerun Falcons outburst in the bottom of the second. Mason pitched a sixhitter in the Carlsbad game, striking out seven batters and allowed no walks. Kyle Johnson and Morgan Oliver each contributed run-scoring doubles that highlighted a three-run rally in the top of the first inning for Torrey Pines. ***** Cathedral Catholic staged a dramatic rally to win its first game of the season.

season to 3-0 in the postFagan era. Fagan, the school’s record holder in nearly all meaningful pitching categories, is now playing Division I ball at Princeton. Isaac Perez had two hits including a double and two RBI to lead the Lions, who trailed 5-1 going into the top of the fourth. The Lions scored three runs in the fourth and then four in the fifth to take an 8-5 lead they’d never relinquish. Ethan Lew and David Raimi each contributed two hits including a double, and Ben Gourley and Rick Saxe each had one hit and two RBI.

in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat St. Augustine 10-9 in a nonleague Lolita tournament game on March 12. The Dons led 6-2 going into the top of the sixth, when St. Augustine scored seven runs to take a 9-6 lead. The Dons bats came alive in a decisive seventh inning rally. Matt Boermeester had four hits and two RBI to lead the Dons, and Nick Fornaca contributed two hits and four RBI. Jesse Kay and Stephen Haviar each added three hits. The victory followed a 5-0 Lolita tournament game loss to Granite Hills on March 8 in a season opener for both teams in which the Dons were held to two hits. ***** Santa Fe Christian lost to Point Loma 5-3 in a nonleague game on March 10. Jake McKinney had two hits and one RBI for the Eagles, and Graham Gomez had an RBI double. The loss dropped the Eagles overall record for the season to 1-3.

RSF resident’s new firm continues putting tenants and buyers first Over the past 20-plus years, RSF resident Jason Hughes has proven to thousands of tenants and buyers that they need their own representation by serving as their exclusive broker during negotiations to purchase or lease commercial real estate. The San Jason Hughes and David Marino Diego-based Irving Hughes brokerage firm he co-founded had become the largest tenant representation firm in the San Diego region, representing thousands of tenants in leasing millions of square feet of office and commercial space. Recently, Hughes and his long-time colleague David Marino, formed Hughes Marino after he and his former partner decided to go their separate ways. The new firm inherited Hughes’ former company headquarters in downtown San Diego, as well as all of the professionals and staffs of the former firm’s tenant representation and construction management teams. “By keeping our team in place, we’ve landed on our feet and hit the ground running, offering a complete range of tenant buying, leasing and construction management services to our existing and new clients, free from conflicts of interest,” Hughes said. Hughes has handled leases and purchases of tens of million square feet of high-rise commercial and office real estate, including participating loan structuring, lease and loan workouts, government agency negotiations, build-to-suit development – and project financing.To date, he’s brokered some of the largest and most complex transactions in the county. Hughes’ offices are at 655 W. Broadway in downtown San Diego. Hughes Marino can be contacted at 619-300-4393; www. hughesmarino.com.

in the early 1820s. Once salicin was isolated, they found it was harmful to the stomach. Eighty years later, in 1897, Felix Hoffman, an employee of Bayer Company, then a dye production company, learned how to isolate the compound and make it less damaging to the stomach. Hoffman was trying to help his father who was suffering from arthritis and in 1899, Bayer Company trademarked HoffTerrie Litwin man’s discovery under the name “Aspirin”. Other medication discoveries followed with differing degrees of success. On Wednesday, March 30, at 10 a.m., Dr. Christopher Hunt with Home Physicians Medical Group will present “Arthritis: Recognition, Treatment, and Prevention.” Christopher Hunt, M.D. is a board-certified Internal Medicine Physician who began his training by completing his pre-medical curriculum at Stanford University.

S Sell Your Home Faster S LOCATION, LOCATION, PRICE!

MARKET LOCALLY

Sellers need to set prices carefully if you want to move your property quickly and avoid long months of having your house spending timeon-market. The longer a listing is on the market, the more the price will come down. Research the local housing market. Your agent will help you price your home correctly using comps of recently sold properties and your competition - other active listings. Remember, price with your head, not your heart.

According to research conducted by First American Title company, 78% of Rancho Santa Fe home buyers live within 5 miles of the home they purchased, while only 15% come from out of state and 6% from another country. So the best place to advertise your home for sale is the Rancho Santa Fe Review – the only paper that everyone on the Ranch reads every week. Listings show up in The Review that don’t appear in any other paper.

A home's not for sale until it's in The Review

Make sure your agent uses the best showcase for your home: The Rancho Santa Fe Review

Artist sponsors ocean art contest to help homeless children BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor Fine artist Wade Koniakowsky believes in giving back to the community where he surfs and paints. Through the Aaron Chang Ocean Art Gallery, in which he has a partnership with photographer Aaron Chang, the two are sponsoring an ocean art contest to benefit the Oceanside chapter of Stand Up For Kids, a nonprofit that aids homeless children. San Diego-based youths, 18 and under, and in school, may submit ocean-inspired art for the contest. Proceeds from their $10 entry fees will directly benefit the charity, said Koniakowsky. Entries, which should be done online, will be accepted until the end of the day, Friday, March 18. The winner for photography will have a field shoot with Chang, while the winner in the art/mixed-media category will spend a day of creating art on location with Koniakowsky. There will be runner-up prizes and the winning art will be reproduced and exhibited at the gallery, which is located at

415 South Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach. A formal reception will be held at the gallery on April 2, from 6-7 p.m. A former commercial artist and co-owner of a successful ad agency, which he decided to leave in 2004, Koniakowsky left the corporate world and directed his energy to follow his dual passions: a love of painting and a love of surfing. Now he is world renowned for his distinctive surfboard art which is greatly influenced by Hawaiian and Polynesian culture. In keeping with his philanthropy, several of his pieces have been donated to benefit nonprofits: the California Surf Museum, the Surfing Heritage Foundation, Surfrider Foundation, the International Surfing Museum and more. His surfboards may be found incorporated into the decor of Billabong stores, and his designs recreated on apparel and footwear. Past commissions include a painted surfboard for the Los Angeles office of the Tahiti Tourism Board. This year, Koniakowsky will create his distinctive

montage art on a replica of a 50/50 surfboard for the 50th anniversary of Don Hansen’s Encinitas-based Surfboard and Surf Shop. “It will celebrate Hansen’s as an icon of North County coastal culture,” said Koniakowsky, who has already created several anniversary T-shirt designs that are carried in Hansen’s store. Koniakowsky’s signature artwork can often be seen in movies, television shows and at such international surf competitions as the World Longboarding Championships and ROXY -sponsored surf events. Because of this international exposure, his surfboards have become highly collectible. Dick Brewer, renowned for his classic big wave boards, became a collector when he and Koniakowsky collaborated on a project. Troy Polamalu, of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is also an avid collector. Koniakowsky has clients in Florida, Puerto Rico, and in the U.S. from coast to coast, while his work is exhibited in 17 galleries in Hawaii. In May, Koniakowsky will travel to Brazil to exhibit his work at an art fes-

Film ‘Bag It’ coming to CCA The Bag Lady

BY DEBBIE SANDLER Contributor “Think about this… Why would you make something that you’re going to use for a few minutes out of a material that’s basically going to last forever, and you’re just going to throw it away? What’s up with that?” – Jeb Berrier, main character of “Bag It.” The Ecoclub at Canyon Crest Academy recently announced that they will be showing “Bag It,” a provocative and incredibly moving film which examines our society’s use and abuse of plastic. “Bag It” will be shown in the Proscenium Theatre on the Canyon Crest campus on Monday, March 21, at 6 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door starting at 5:30 p.m. and admission is $4 or $2 if you bring plastic bags, bottles or cans for recycling. For more information about the film, please visit www.bagitmovie.

tival held jointly in Rio and then San Paulo. Sponsored by Alma Surf Magazine, the event attracts thousands of people, he said. Yet despite a rigorous travel schedule, Koniakowsky still finds time to teach and plans to do more. “I really want to expand the educational outreach at the gallery,” he said. On Sundays, from noon to 5 p.m., Koniakowsky gives painting demonstrations at the Aaron Chang Ocean Art Gallery, and once a quarter teaches an introduction to landscape painting for adults at the Pacific Surf Gallery in Cardiff.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Kids Korps/Teen Korps teams up with classmates for a recycled electric meter project By Dana Knees, Rancho Santa Fe Kids Korps Chapter Leader SDG&E is replacing all their old household electric meters with new Smart Meters. What do you do with the old meters? Recycle them into ART! Mrs. Reeser’s 7th and 8th Art Elective students divided into groups and then transformed the meters to represent tourist attractions around San Diego County. (San Diego Zoo, USS Midway, Wild Animal Park, to name a few). Students were to use all the parts of the meter in their artwork and also recycled materials from the classroom and home. Currently these works of art are on display until March 25th at the RSF library where children, teachers, and parents are asked to take time to look closely at all the meters, as each is unique. Anyone can cast their vote for their favorite by looking at the number on the sign next to the meter and write it on a slip of paper at the checkout desk in the box with the SDG&E logo on it. Enjoy the artwork which supports a great cause; Awareness for energy conservation! Kids Korps and Student Council will host another event at the school on March 31, at 3:15 p.m. Contact RSF Kids Korps Chapter Advisor, Dana Knees, knees1@cox.net for more details. Carmel Valley Teen Korps Visits Silverado Senior Center By Kiana Aryan and Miranda Reisman, 7th graders at Carmel Valley Middle School On Feb. 13, the Carmel Valley Teen Korps group attended the Silverado Senior Center to make Valentine’s Day cards with the residents. Each teen paired up with a senior and talked with them, interviewing them about their lives. One of the questions was, what advice would you give children today? The replies varied from “follow your dreams” to “keep your mouths shut.” When making Valentine’s cards, the teens helped the seniors write messages and paste decorative stickers and ornamentations to make the cards cheerful and colorful. The residents told the Korps members who they would like the card to be for, what they would like to write as a message, and how they would like the card to be decorated. The result was many beautiful Valentine’s Day

WORKSHOP continued from page 26

Mar resident and attorney who helped the city draft the proposed governance model for the purchase, said if the deal does go through, the city would wear three hats: one, as trustee of a “public benefit trust,” a legal document spelling out allowable uses for the property; two, as landlord; and three, as a municipal government with authority to regulate land use and activities at the fairgrounds. The governance model proposed by Del Mar includes the establishment of the public trust, which requires that the fairgrounds property be

used for the public benefit in perpetuity, according to a city staff report prepared for Wednesday’s workshop meeting. The trust would allow such uses as the county fair, horse racing, equestrian shows and events, agricultural expositions, and entertainment, among others. A nonprofit corporation would be set up to run the daily operations of the fairgrounds, under the direction of a ninemember appointed board, with representative from the cities of Del Mar, Solana Beach and San Diego, the county of San Diego, the San Diego Farm Bureau and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Author-

Ryan Knees, with classmates Josh Ade, and Hannah Williams with their SmART Meter Recycled Art cards. In addition to helping make cards, the Teen Korps group also brought along and delivered Valentine’s Day placemats that they had previously made for the seniors. Overall, everybody had a bright and cheerful Valentine’s Day. How Art Makes You SMART On a windy afternoon at the end of February, seventeen members of the Encinitas Country Day School Kids Korps chapter gathered to get “SmART” about energy conservation. As part of Kid Korps “smART meter” project Presented by SDG&E, these excited and highly energetic students made unique art out of old SDG&E power meters while also learning about the importance of saving energy. The room was a flurry of activity as recycled ribbon, beads, toy cars, action figurines and egg crates were methodically glued onto the cold metal and plastic that used to keep track of household electricity usage. In a very quick hour, with some negotiating with friends (and an occasional mom) these kindergarten through 6th graders had created one of a kind pieces of art ity, with the three remaining seats to be filled on a rotating basis by the other San Diego County cities. Currently, a volunteer board appointed by the governor oversees the fairgrounds. The fair board staunchly opposes the sale of the fairgrounds to Del Mar. Before the sale could go forward, a bill authored by state Sen. Christine Kehoe would have to be passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor. Deanna Spehn, a Kehoe staffer, said at the meeting that Kehoe expects committee hearings to be held on the bill within the next several weeks. Meanwhile, although

the sale was supported by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the new governor, Jerry Brown, has been focused on the state budget and has not yet had a formal briefing on the proposed deal, Spehn said. “Everything is still in play, the bill is still active,” Spehn said. The city proposes financing the purchase by selling bonds, leasing the racetrack operations to a group of horse owners, and borrowing a portion of the purchase price from the state. The city staff report notes that an enterprise fund will be established to pay for fairgrounds operations, and the bonds sold to finance the pur-

that were proudly admired by all in attendance. The completed projects will be on display for the school’s Earth Day festivities before being distributed to San Diego businesses. Everyone left with a sense of accomplishment as well as new knowledge about simple things they can do at home to reduce their energy consumption. Serving Smiles and More at Bread of Life By Olivia and Alexandra Scafidi are 3rd and 2nd graders at Horizon Prep We served so many people,” said Alex. “So many people were very happy to get a meal,” said Olivia. Olivia and Alex both served meals for the homeless at Bread of Life this weekend. They volunteer their time through Kids Korps of Rancho Santa Fe. “I saw lots of happy faces and they all were so friendly. We served meatballs, pasta, salads, dessert, and mangos to all the people at the Bread of Life.” Alex thought that it was a spectacular experience and she just loves doing it. Her favorite thing is meeting lots of people. Olivia loved that everyone was smiling, having a good time, and enjoying their meal. “I am very happy to serve people who aren’t as fortunate as me and to give them a meal,” said Olivia.
