Playground plan gains momentum Association seeks approval to build new structure at Rancho Santa Fe Field
Galindo named administrative battalion chief, Hill deputy fire marshal The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District recently announced that Captain Chris Galindo has been promoted to administrative battalion chief and Fire Prevention Specialist Renee Hill has been promoted to deputy fire marshal. These newly created positions serve to replace the position of fire marshal, which has been vacant since Cliff Hunter’s retirement last year, and streamline the organization of the Fire Prevention Bureau. “I feel very fortunate and honored to have been selected for this position and am committed to maintaining the consistency and high standards established by my predecessor, Cliff Hunter,” said Galindo. “I’m also looking forward to working alongside the rest of the district’s management team and providing support for the fire suppression crews in the field when needed.” Galindo, who has worked in the fire service for 24 years, came to RSFFPD when he was hired as a contract fire See FIRE, page 11

BY KAREN BILLING The effort to establish a neighborhood playground for Rancho Santa Fe children continues to move forward. Efforts have been made in the past for play structures in the Covenant, but this latest push is the closest the Association has ever come to reaching its goal. According to RSF Association Manager Pete Smith, the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s trails and recreation committee is working to get the final permission necessary to grant and build a new playground structure at Rancho Santa Fe Field on
Update on services for Dr. Roger Rowe On Saturday, March 31, at 1 p.m, the memorial service for Dr. Roger Rowe, who served this community for over 40 years as superintendent of schools, will be held at the Village Presbyterian Church in Rancho Santa Fe. There has been an outpouring of support from individuals and organizations in the Village and over 100 volunteers have been working together to help with this celebration. Besides the church service, speakers and music honoring him, there will be a full military honor guard and salute. Dr. Rowe was both active and reserve duty in the United States Navy for over 30 years, retiring as Captain. The reception following will feature tables of memorabilia from the school, community and Dr. Rowe’s career beginning in the 1950s. Students from the
R. Roger Rowe School will be helping with ushering. Because of the limited parking and potential congestion around the church, it is respectfully requested that attendees car pool and use the efficient shuttle system that has been devised by the Patrol and Association. Buses and vans will be available from the Christian Science Church parking lot, RSF Garden Club, Association office and both parking lots at the R. Roger School (including the El Fuego lot). The Village Church will have four parking attendants, one at each entrance. There will be additional handicapped spaces available at the church on a first-come, first-served basis. The shuttle service will run from 11:45 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Rambla de las Flores. In November, the board granted $25,000 toward purchasing play equipment and directed the trails and recreation committee to find a suitable location. Rancho Santa Fe Field was selected as the preferred alternative. The committee had been considering a request for the playground to be at Richardson Field, also on Rambla de las Flores. Richardson would have involved a slightly different process for approval, requiring a Covenant modification and a two-thirds vote See PLAYGROUND, page 5

Rancho Santa Fe Review
SB superintendent Leslie Fausset retires after 40 years in education BY MARSHA SUTTON When Leslie Fausset retires on March 30, she will have concluded a remarkable career in public education spanning four decades. After seven years as superintendent of the Solana Beach School District (which includes Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Fairbanks Ranch), Fausset ends her career with a long list of awards and accolades all around. She is widely praised for her extensive knowledge, depth of experiLeslie Fausset ence, gentle style, collaborative approach and calm demeanor – and unanimously applauded for her ability to keep the interests of students front and center in every debate. “At the local level and the state level, she’s been a wonderful champion for all kids and for education, and exemplifies what a superintendent and what an educator should be,� said former state Senator Dede Alpert. “I am personally forever in her debt and believe she is an unsung hero in one of the toughest and the most important fields of endeavor in our state and nation, education,� said Delaine Eastin, former state Superintendent of Public Instruction. Born and raised in Ojai, Fausset, 64, began her career in public education in 1972 as a first-grade teacher in the Poway Unified School District, where she worked for 26 years. After six years as a teacher, she became a reading specialist, then project coordinator for state programs, then assistant middle school principal, elementary school principal and middle school principal. “That was quite a transition and very fun,� Fausset said of her middle school years. “I was terrified of middle school kids and [in the end] absolutely loved them and left tearfully.� She then was named Poway’s director of communication, evaluation and staff development, a post she held for two years until she was promoted to assistant superintendent responsible for grades K-8. Her last position in Poway was as area superintendent with K-12 responsibility for one
of three areas, from 1989 to 1998. To Sacramento When Fausset accepted an offer from Delaine Eastin in 1998 to be California’s Chief Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction, Fausset’s reputation expanded statewide. During five years in this position, she became known in Sacramento for her knowledge, child-centered focus and ability to forge consensus. Fausset worked with Eastin, who served from 1995 to 2003, during a pivotal time in public education, when the movement toward greater accountability, testing and assessment took shape. During this time, the Public Schools Accountability Act, the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, and its achievement indicator the Academic Performance Index system, were implemented. “I was privileged to have Leslie as my chief deputy at the department of education for over four years,� Eastin said in an email. “She was a principled, tireless, brilliant and talented chief deputy who assisted me to transform the department into a much more field- and child-focused entity.� Fausset helped the department focus on how decisions affected children, Eastin said. “Whether it was preschool or school safety or immigration or testing or some other gauntlet, Leslie was sturdy and true to the children and their welfare,� she said. Working with Alan Bersin, currently assistant secretary of international affairs for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security In 2003, Fausset left Sacramento to work for about a year as a consultant until Alan Bersin, then superintendent of the San Diego Unified School District, asked her to join his team as chief of staff and, a few months later, as deputy superintendent. On July 1, 2005, her title changed again, to interim superintendent, when Bersin left the 132,000-student district and a replacement was being sought. Bersin’s seven-year tenure at the helm of SD Unified, the second largest in the state, was a turbulent time, and Fausset’s arrival in 2004 helped provide a steady, calming influence. Bersin, who called Fausset “a consummate educator and terrific human being,� said she “knows budgets and personnel rules to be sure, but she knows how to apply them to organize schools and districts to maximize good teaching and better learning.�
“These qualities – developed and practiced by Leslie at every level of California’s educational system, from the classroom to the principalship to the superintendency, at the state, local and county levels – distinguish her career as unmatched in breadth, depth and scope,� Bersin said, in an email. “I know of no one who has replicated her experience with the degree of achievement that she has attained,� he said. “Big districts, small districts, poor schools, rich schools – all of them mattered the same to Leslie Fausset.� Fausset, he said, “saw through the unimportant and never lost focus on the goal of education reform: the improvement at scale, on a systemic basis, of teaching and learning in the classroom.� Bersin thanked her “for what her professional life has meant and the impact that it has had on that most precious of gifts: a free and democratic public education.� To Solana Beach One of the highest ranked districts in the county, SBSD serves about 3,000 students in grades K-6 at six schools – three in Carmel Valley, two in the city of Solana Beach and one in Fairbanks Ranch. A lifelong resident of Solana Beach, Fausset viewed the chance to work in a small district, with elementary age children, at an office five minutes from her home, as serendipity. Debra Schade, who was first elected to SBSD’s board of education in 2002 and is the longest-serving trustee, was part of the team that selected Fausset for the position of superintendent in 2005. “The Solana Beach School District has been very fortunate to have Leslie Fausset lead our district for the past seven years,� said Schade, who called her skill in developing and mentoring staff and building consensus masterful. “Her laser focus on what is best for children has been at the heart of every decision.� SBSD’s assistant superintendent of instructional services Katie McNamara joined the district in 2004 and said, “Leslie’s career has been defined by her clarity of vision and focus on meeting the needs of every student.� Other education leaders also commented on Fausset’s See FAUSSET, page 22

Father and son share special journey in new book BY KATHY DAY Major League Baseball players know road trips, hotel rooms and being away from family. Mike Luery and his son Matt do, too, only they skipped the being away from each other during the years they trekked all around the country to 32 different ballparks. Mike, an investigative reporter for television’s CBS13 in Sacramento, has taken his love of the game and of writing and put the two together in “Baseball Between Us — 16 Years, 32 BallParks, 43,000 miles.” And Matt, who was 5 when the adventure began and is now a 23-year-old architecture student at USC, contributed the epilogue. On March 24, Mike was in San Diego signing books and talking about the lessons learned. He also talked about them in a recent interview. Those lessons are an intermingling of parenting and the game. “Both involve rules — you break a rule, you answer to the boss, whether it’s the parent or the manager,” he said. And one of the big advantages to ball games is the
senile and knows a thing or two about life.” “How about just saying, ‘Sure Dad’, I asked with a gleam of hope in my eye. “OK Mike,” was the response. And after a couple of days, it went away, Mike said. And there were lighter days like the one in Toronto when Matt offered to buy his dad a beer. “I said, “You’re not even 21,” Mike said. Matt responded: “Guess what, this is Canada.” So there they sat in the Sky Dome, drinking a Molsen. As they talked, Matt told him the “best part was not having to use my fake ID.” A couple of years later, in Anaheim, they shared an American beer. “It was a real rite of passage,” Mike said. Growing up in Connecticut, Mike was a big Yankees fan and he too bonded with his dad over baseball, he said. The two saw his team face off against the Dodgers in the 1963 World Series — when baseball was played in the daytime. “But they didn’t win,” he recalled.

There was the time when Matt decided to call his father “Mike” instead of Dad, telling him it was “an old-fashioned concept so get used to it.” Here’s how the conversation ended, as revealed in the book: “Being a dad is a lifetime deal. It doesn’t end when your son turns 18 or even 21. So I told Matt, “Show me a little respect,” adding, “Your old man isn’t
“Sandy Koufax struck out 15, including my hero Mickey Mantle two times. I cried all the way home.” That memory, he said, was part of the inspiration for passing the torch to his son. The first road trip was paired up with business trip to St. Louis. Matt and his sister Sarah, now 25 and a graduate student at Cal State Northridge, went with their dad to see the Cardinals play. “I’m very blessed,” Mike said. “My wife is very supportive — she is one of those who says watching baseball is like watching paint dry.” And he acknowledges Sarah “is a little bit into base-
ball,” but hasn’t been on many of the road trips. So mostly it was just the boys. When Mike was 16, they flew to Detroit and saw the Tigers in the new Comerica Park, then drove to Chicago to see the White Sox and then to Milwaukee to see the Brewers. That wasn’t quite the end of it, though. Off they went to see the Dakotas — one the things on Mike’s “bucket list” was to visit every state, so they knocked off two more, all while getting to meet Maury Wills, the Dodgers’ legendary shortstop and stolen base king. They also visited a museum paying tribute to him and another museum honoring legendary Yankee Roger Maris in, of all places, a Fargo, N.D., shopping mall. Mike’s own favorite memory was being in San Francisco when Barry Bonds hit his 715th home run and broke Babe Ruth’s record, Mike said. “Even with the steroid controversy, it was the most electric moment. The entire stadium erupted, jets flew overhead, there were fireworks and confetti.” Mike can talk for hours about baseball, the parks, and what he and his son have learned along the way,
from why the World Series should be moved back to daytime starts to how to be an effective father. One of the best lessons, he said is “how dynamic the father-son relationship is and how it evolves.” For Matt, who’s still occasionally joining his dad for a road trip — the last one was in 2010 but they’re hoping to make it to the Marlins’ new park in Miami this year — the memories are strong too. His epilogue tells his side of the story. Here’s a sampling: “Learning not only about my dad’s strength, like his political knowledge, but also his weaknesses, like his sense of direction, has made our relationship stronger and more equal; he certainly knows all of my faults from 22 years of raising me. And I’m proud that we can relate to each other well enough now to be able to joke around — just like I do with my friends. I also admire my dad for being able to put up with me constantly challenging his authority throughout the trip. Based on what my aunt and uncle have told me in recent years though, it seems the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

NASCAR’s Ryan Newman makes a pit-stop at Helen Woodward Animal Center San Diego NASCAR Fans recently caught a peek of racecar great Ryan Newman close to home. The National Celebrity of the Race Circuit, and his wife Krissie, arrived at Helen Woodward Animal Center to show their support for the Center and its mission of placing homeless pets “on the road” to a new life. Ryan and Krissie Newman are long-time animal welfare advocates. The famous couple founded the Ryan Newman Foundation, whose mission is to educate and encourage people to spay or neuter their pets and to adopt dogs and cats from animal shelters. Currently, they are in the process of building “Rescue Ranch” in North Carolina – a center modeled after Helen Woodward Animal Center. Krissie Newman, who wrote the book Pit Road Pets (with proceeds benRyan Newman efitting the Humane Society of Catawba County), is also scheduled to speak at Helen Woodward’s upcoming ACES International Conference this September. Ryan recently heard about four rescued puppies that had been abandoned on I-40 and brought to the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

of approval from surrounding property owners. The committee decided at a meeting on Tuesday morning not to pursue Richardson as an option. With RSF Field, the Association is working with the representative of the family that sold the property to the Association to get permission to place the playground at that location due to a deed restriction. Smith said the committee is also looking at the play equipment that will be
used. Slightly different than the plans proposed last year, the committee would like the equipment to cater to a younger age group, ages 2 to 9. The committee is still deciding about the surface material that will be used, aiming for “the safest surface for children,” Smith said. The exact location of the playground on the property must also be decided. “We have to make sure we’re not impeding the use of the horse trail and park and that we’re not in the way of organized sports on the field,” Smith said. Smith said the committee is hopeful all of the re-
maining issues can be resolved by its next meeting on April 24. RSF resident Heather Slosar is pleased with the new location, as well. “I think [RSF Field] would be a great location. I think everybody will be happy with it there, it would’ve been my first choice,” said Slosar, who started working on getting a playground for Rancho Santa Fe a year ago, first proposing the Arroyo property because she thought it would have less restrictions to get it done. She is hopeful the last hurdles can be completed and that the playground will be ready for use by the summer.

Kids Korps honors ‘Superstar’ community leaders at annual Superstar Gala Each year, Kids Korps’ Super Star Gala honors community leaders who play an exceptional role in helping build stronger communities through youth volunteerism. At this year’s Super Star Gala “A Night at the Royal Ascot”, which takes place on Saturday, April 28, at the Del Mar Country Club, the National Leadership Award will be presented to the following families: The Scafidi Family: Joe and Barbara Scafidi and their five children have been involved with Kids Korps since 2007, when they moved from New Jersey. Together, they have participated in numerous activities, doing beach cleanups, serving at the Ronald McDonald House, support for the military, and Miracle League. Two of the Scafidi children, Olivia and Alexandra, have received the Presidential Service Award. When asked about their involvement in Kids Korps, Joe and Barbara responded: “It is an honor to be associated with such a world class organization and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve our community.” The Lichtenberger Family: Mike and Liz Lichtenberger and their two daughters Hannah and Lauren became involved with Kids Korps in 2005. Through simple acts of playing bingo with seniors, packing meals for the hungry, cleaning the beach and other projects, the Lichtenbergers have been touched by the joys of giving. Liz currently coleads the Pacific Rim Elementary Kids Korps chapter, and the Aviara Oaks Middle School Chapter. Both daughters have received the Presidential Service Award for their participation

in Kids Korps volunteer activities. One of their favorite projects is making dinner and serving it to homeless individuals at the Bread of Life Mission. The Bobileff Family: The Bobileff Family has been actively involved with Kids Korps for many years. Gary and Maggie have served as Super Star Gala chairs for the past two years, and Maggie currently serves on Kids Korps’ National Board. Maggie’s son Philippe participated in Kids Korps programs for over six years, which provided him with a great foundation for his career in the Swiss Military. Their commitment to and generous support of Kids Korps’ programs have earned them this year’s National Leadership Award. This year’s Super Star Gala will also recognize Ran-

Helen Simonson
Profile
Former ad executive, stay-at-home mom finds writing voice in humor and launches career with bestselling novel Editor’s Note: British-born novelist Helen Simonson was the guest speaker at the March 21 luncheon of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society at The Grand Del Mar. Her debut novel, “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand,” is a New York Times bestseller. The annual six-event luncheon series is sponsored by Northern Trust, the RSF Literary Society, the RSF Community Center and this newspaper. The next luncheon on Thursday, April 19, will feature American thriller writer Dennis Lehane and his latest novel, “Moonlight Mile.”
BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Helen Simonson is a very funny lady with a delightful British sense of humor, but it wasn’t until she accepted this about herself and allowed it to come through in her writing that she was able, in her mid-40s, to launch a second career as a bestselling novelist.
Her debut novel, “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand,” hailed by critics as “a classic comedy of love and manners,” is set in a small English town filled with colorful, eccentric, sometimes nasty, but always very human characters, caught in an undercurrent of ludicrous class snobbery and Empire-derived racism. We interviewed the former advertising executive and stay-athome mom in the library of The Grand Del Mar March 21 prior to her luncheon talk to the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society sponsored by Northern Trust. Simonson is a long-time resident of Brooklyn, New
Quick Facts Name: Helen Simonson (nee Phillips) Distinction: Simonson, who for years was a stay-athome mom, recently launched a new career as a novelist with the publication of her bestselling debut novel, “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand.” Born: Slough, Buckinghamshire, England. Moved to Sussex with her family as a teenager. Education: B.Sc. in economics, London School of Economics, 1985; M.F.A., State University of New York, (SUNY), Stony Brook, 2008. Family: Married to banker John Simonson. They have two sons: Ian, 19, a freshman studying electrical engineering, and “maybe a minor in film” at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee; and, Jamie, 17, a high school junior. Interests: Camping, hiking, travel, and houses, especially those with “room for a pony.” Recent reading: “State of Wonder,” by Ann Patchett Favorite authors: Edith Wharton, Henry James, Somerset Maugham, and contemporary authors Toni Morrison, Barbara Kingsolver and David Mitchell. Favorite TV: Any “Law & Order” Favorite film: “Miracle on 34th Street” Favorite getaway: Hawaii, and, as of now, San Diego When depressed: “I check my emails.” Philosophy: “When it comes to writing and life, I would like to be like the late Frank McCourt, who did not become a published author until he retired from teaching and he was determined to enjoy every single minute of it.”
York. She was born Helen Phillips in the industrial town of Slough, Buckinghamshire, England. Her father was an industrial chemist. “He got his chemistry degree and master’s the oldfashion way, at night school, while working,” she said. “So I was actually the first in my family to go to college. When she was a teenager, the family achieved the ultimate English middle-class dream of moving to a house in the country — in East Sussex, “a much prettier part of the world” and the chosen locale for her debut novel with its rolling hills, thatched cottages, and medieval smuggling towns that attracted some of England’s most prominent writers, including Henry James, Virginia Woolf and Rudyard Kipling of “You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din” fame. Drawn to writing in her teens by the surrounding literary heritage, she was mildly encouraged by her parents, who thought that being a writer would be “a lovely hobby for the weekend,” but, she should really concentrate on preparing to get a proper job… “So I didn’t have a background that said I have permission to write,”she said. Both of her parents were town councilors “which is why, I think, I ended up at the London School of Economics. I was planning on being a politician or a diplomat, helping to serve the world. It took me about six months to figure out it wasn’t all idealism and building youth centers and it wasn’t me.” But, at the London School of Economics, she did meet her future husband, an American who was doing a year-abroad program — “One of those programs where you drink beer and meet girls, and he managed to do both,” she laughed. Her husband, John Si-
Helen Simonson Photos courtesy www.majorpettigrew.com monson, is a banker. “And I advise all writers,” she said, “to search out spouses who are bankers or lawyers or can otherwise support one’s literary ambitions. My husband says he’s enjoyed many years of being ‘a patron of the arts.’” After graduation, she joined an advertising agency in the seaside East Sussex town of Eastbourne, as a trainee copywriter, which, she believes, was excellent training for a future fiction writer “because you have to condense everything into very few words.” “I was there a year,” she said, “then married, came to the States and got into travel advertising here. I worked for a tour company that did tours to Russia and worked in the cruse line industry as an advertising director, which was great because I loved writing, advertising and travel. “I would spend my whole life travelling if I could.” With the birth of her two sons, she retired from advertising to become a stay-at-home mom. For fun, she said, she and her husband enrolled in a ballroom dancing class, but she soon discovered she had “two left feet and I like to lead.” She recalls asking a young accountant in the dance class what he was planning to do on his summer vacation. “He said he was staying home to write a screenplay.
And I said that was lovely, but, inside my head, I was screaming: ‘But you’re an accountant. You’re not qualified to write.’ That’s when I realized that I didn’t feel qualified to write and never had, partly because of being British. We know what we’re supposed to do in the world and what we’re not.” She attributes her turnaround in attitude as a gift from America where she was assured by New York Lottery advertisements that everyone with a dollar can have a dream “and made me realize that in America everyone can have a go.” She immediately signed up for a beginners’ fiction class at the 92nd Street YMCA in New York. “I think at my first class at the YMCA I realized this was what I wanted to do and I thought it would be very easy and in a couple of years I would be a novelist and that would be a very good second career for a woman with small children.” As it turned out, it took longer, 12 years, in fact — and after she had earned a master’s degree in creative writing from the State University of New York — that her first novel was finished, accepted and published in 2010 by Random House. She admits it took her some time to find her authentic “voice” as a writer. “And that’s very hard for a struggling writer who hasn’t been published because for many years you try
to write like your favorite authors. You want to be the next Hemingway or Virginia Woolf and all you can hope to achieve is a pale imitation, while what you can give to the world is your authentic voice.” The love interest in her novel revolves around 69-year-old widower Major Ernest Pettigrew, Royal Sussex, retired, and the beautiful, no-nonsense, literatureloving widow and owner of the village grocery shop, Mrs. Jasmina Ali, of Pakistani heritage. And, therein lies the problem, complicated by the Major’s twit of a son, Roger, an ambitious London banker totally obsessed with advancing his career, no matter how, and making money, and a cash-strapped aristocrat, Lord Dagenham, who, with the help of a rapacious American developer, envisions subdividing the village into an enclave of manors “available only to old money.” Before finding her voice as a writer willing to expose her sense of humor, she said, “I wasted a lot of time trying to write the kind of gritty, contemporary stories that perhaps would get me published in small literary magazines… but my heart wasn’t in it…and one day I had to write a short story for a workshop and I gave myself permission to write something just this once, just for me, something that I would want to read if I was in bed tucked up with the flu and looking for a good book. “So I wrote a short story called ‘Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand’ and I expected everybody in my writing workshop to hate it. There were plenty of young Hemingways in that class but when I got to class everyone had fallen in love with the Major…and insisted they wanted to know what happened to the Major tomorrow and next week…” Simonson spent the next five years expanding her short story into her first novel and thesis for her creative writing master’s degree. “I was very interested in taking what might be stereotypes of British people, such as you might see in a British

Solana Santa Fe’s new murals highlight school’s character traits BY STACEY PHILLIPS Two colorful murals representing Solana Santa Fe’s (SSF) character traits were recently added to the school playground, thanks to the combined effort of SSF teachers, staff and students as well as a local high school senior. Fourth, fifth and sixth grade students participated in a school art contest to decorate the playground’s ball wall. They were asked to incorporate the elementary school’s five character traits: (CRAFT) Caring, Responsible, Always Respectful, Fairness and Trustworthy. Juliana Welch, a high school senior at Canyon Crest Academy, was selected as the artist to interpret the students’ winning designs and painted them on both sides of the ball wall. The result is a symbolic addition to the school playground that reinforces a valuable lesson each time a student sees it. “By using this talented young artist it adds a colorful, personal touch as an addition to our playground,” said Lydia Noble, SSF’s guidance counselor. Juliana Welch Last summer, based on a recommenin the school’s Second Steps anti-bullying dation by SSF teachers and staff, the Parprogram and encourage students to play ent Teacher Organization (PTO) paid to upwell together.

These elements were incorporated into the design of the ball wall to remind students to spend less time arguing and more time being active and enjoying the new additions to the playground, including the decorative ball wall.
Canyon Crest artist’s portfolio continues to grow BY STACEY PHILLIPS With a little creativity and inspiration, local artist and high school senior Juliana Welch continues to touch people with her artwork. She recently unveiled her latest artistic endeavor, two large murals at Solana Santa Fe, based on drawings made by fifth and sixth grade students. “I was incredibly impressed with their artwork,” said Welch, who was recently nominated for best artist at her high school, Canyon Crest Academy. Welch, who plans to major in landscape architecture, said she has always enjoyed art, whether painting, doing photography or figure drawing. She has been part of CCA’s Dig-
ital/Fine Arts Conservatory since she was accepted three years ago in 10th grade. This program instructs high school students at a pre-professional, college level. In 2011, she and Isa Beniston were commissioned to participate in a public arts program through Arts Alive on the Coastal Rail Trail. Welch painted surreal-looking animals in masks on the side of a utility box. That project led to the recent one at SSF. “This is the most fun I’ve ever had,” said Welch, “The imagination that comes out of children is like clay, it’s beautiful.” Juliana Welch’s work is available on her web site: julianawelch.weebly.com

Rowe School students visit San Elijo Lagoon Mrs. Hocko’s and Mrs. Bacon’s third grade classes at the R. Roger Rowe School recently visited the San Elijo Lagoon as part of the school’s Scripps Ocean Partnership. The kids worked on sketching the wetlands with Bruce Stewart from the Birch Aquarium.
They imagined themselves as Kumeyaay Indian boys and girls as they took a docent-guided walking tour of the trails at the lagoon. They also learned about the resources that the Kumeyaay used, as well as some plant and animal adaptations. The Ranch School’s Inte-
grated Science curriculum is augmented with unique programs such as the Scripps Ocean Partnership, made possible by the support of the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation.

The past two years he has served as an administrative captain overseeing the construction of Station 3 in Fairbanks Ranch. Hill, who was hired as a fire prevention specialist in 2005, expressed a sentiment similar to Galindo’s. “I am honored to be offered the position of deputy fire marshal for the Rancho Santa

NOVEL continued from page 8 sitcom on PBS, and kind of exploding those stereotypes and peeling away the layers, and perhaps showing that we English people are individuals just like everybody else.� The Major, with his droll sense of humor, is rarely at a loss for words and is a master of witty, incisive comebacks. “I have to confess I’m one of those people who are usually tongue-tied in public,� she said, “and then half an hour later I think of just the perfect thing I should have said to the person who just insulted me.
don Days/Times: Mondays 9:15 a.m.-10:15 a.m., Wednesdays 8:15 a.m.-9:15 a.m. Don’t worry about keeping up-- our instructors tailor the intensity of this fun and effective 60-minute workout to fit your needs. Every Jazzercise group fitness class combines dance-based cardio with stretching to sculpt, tone, and lengthen muscles. Choreographed to today’s hottest music, Jazzercise is a fusion of jazz dance, resistance training and yoga. Burn up to 600 calories in one session and start dancing yourself fit today! Breathe Deep with Yoga on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Instructor: Elize Quinn Days/Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8:15 a.m.-9:15 a.m. Build a strong, safe and healthy yoga practice with detailed alignment, use of props and proper breathing. A wonderful way to start the day for both newcomers and experienced students who want to deepen their practice but may have injuries, muscular imbalances, or structural irregularities. You’ll create strength, flexibility, and balance and be gently guided to move beyond boundaries and reach new levels on your practice. Introducing Our Ballroom Dance Class!

So that the Major is somewhat aspirational on my part in that he often manages to get in his word in time.� In her personal life, Simonson said she relates very much to Hyacinth Bucket, the main character in the long-running British BBC sitcom, “Keeping Up Appearances,� who insists her surname is pronounced ‘Bouquet.’ “I am Hyacinth ‘Bouquet’,� Simonson laughs. “I’m always asking my husband, when will we have a house with room for a pony?� “Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand� has been optioned for a movie.
“When movie directors started calling,� she said, “that’s when my boys [now ages 19 and 17] noticed that I had written a book.� Simonson is currently working on her second novel, which, she says, will not be a sequel. She hates sequels. It will, however, also be set in Sussex, but in the late Edwardian period, with perhaps an emphasis on the area’s drainage systems, which, in her historical research, she finds intriguing “because if you don’t know where the bathroom is, how can you know anything else?� For more information, visit www.majorpettigrew.com

who have not yet found their voice BY MALIA RAPPAPORT I was diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome at age 5, and it was at that moment, sitting in a stereotypically hospital-esque office with my parents and the psychiatrist, that I became an advocate. An advocate for myself, for my friends, for those that I had never even met. For as long as I can remember, educating others and fostering understanding has been second nature to me, and one of the vehicles for this lifelong crusade has been Girl Scouts. Joining in kindergarten, I was a pretty lively young Daisy Scout. I remember flittering eagerly through the program; participating in the arts and crafts, earning the petals on my apron, and attending the sing-a-longs. As I moved up the ranks in the scouting world, bigger and better opportunities arose for me, like when my troop organized and led a weekend encampment for the service unit. Within that project, I had the chance to develop a more inclusive and supportive program for those in other troops with special needs. Much of my high school life has been busied with a myriad of troop projects that have each played their own unique part in shaping me into the young adult I am today. And no, contrary to popular belief, Girl Scouts is most certainly not “uncool.” It’s the epitome of awesomeness and embodies every positive quality that a budding leader aspires to acquire. The organization has become a driving force in my life, propelling me to new and exciting adventures at every turn. In January 2009, I was one of 20 teens selected from around the country to travel to Washington D.C. to create a national social media campaign about inclusion. We spent a mere three days brainstorming, conceptualizing and organizing our ideas. The result: the “I Am Norm” campaign (www. iamnorm.org). Our goals are to redefine the meaning of the word “Normal,” to demonstrate that in a world built upon atypical people’s discoveries, fitting in shouldn’t be the object of desire: it’s standing out and not being afraid to do so that will in turn define who an individual really is. The amazing part about this weekend of discovery was that it was my Girl Scout troop that provided me with the support and resources I needed to apply for this summit. I would never have been where I am today without them. On a personal level, those three days in D.C. changed my life. They gave me the courage and a reason to be part of a change, to become a real, hardworking activist in the world. Since then, I’ve never been the same, and I’ve even had the opportunity to travel around the nation speaking at different conferences (three in this month alone!). Since 2009, I have presented at the Kids Included Together (KIT) Annual Conference, and this last time received their “Rising Star” award. I just returned from my second time presenting at the Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital “Keys To Leadership” conference, where the focus is on promoting leadership and inclusion among girls all across the country. To be able to pass on that heartwarming, awakening sense of belonging and pride that Girl Scouts and Norm have instilled in me to other young people has been a beautiful opportunity. This past year, along with my sister, I raised over $2,500 for KIT’s “Over The Edge” event, in which participants rappel 33 stories down the side of the Manchester Grand Hyatt, all to raise awareness for the inclusion movement. This year you’ll see me at the top again, ready to conquer my immense fear of heights and help
change the world. For much of my young life I allowed myself to be beat down for having a disability, and for so long I was ashamed of the aspects of myself that I couldn’t control. Girl Scouts and Norm have Malia Rappaport taught me that my so-called weaknesses, those parts of me that had seemed to generate so much intolerance from my peers, could inspire within me a desperate need to alter the perceptions of those with and without disabilities. My work with Scouts and I Am Norm has become the heart that I wear on my sleeve, the one I share with all who have the curiosity to ask. I’ll be graduating high school in just one short year, and naturally that means I will be continuing on to my final level of Girl Scouting before becoming and adult Girl Scout. All 12 of my years in Troop 1109 are culminating in one project: my Gold Award. It’s the final step and a huge endeavor for any Ambassador Girl Scout to accomplish. This year, on the 100th year of scouting, I’ll be receiving my award. The project I created holds fast to the principles of I Am Norm. The goal was to promote inclusion and acceptance in a middle school classroom, and I was lucky enough to be welcomed back to RSF Middle School to present to Mrs. Cassarino’s eighth grade English class. My peers were skeptical of my decision to face the perils of middle school again, and even tougher, to command their attention for a period of time. Sixth through eighth grade is such a turbulent and unpredictable time for adolescents. It’s a period of immense changes and personal dramas that can leave students feeling isolated and socially outcast, and I wanted to be able to reach that part of each student’s consciousness, the one that is merely seeking acceptance and inclusion, regardless of ability level or background. Talking with them about the importance of inclusion was an extremely rewarding experience, and I am in the process of sustaining this program by training some of my peers to speak in classrooms, and by making the resources I created available through the “I Am Norm” campaign. If at the end of the day I can lay my head down on the pillow and feel as though I’ve affected someone in a positive way, then I believe what I’m choosing to do with my life is worth it. As I leave high school and move on, I will take with me all that I have learned through Girl Scouts, and continue to be an advocate for those who have not yet found their voice. *To donate to this year’s “I am Norm” team for KIT’s Over the Edge,” please go to: www.stayclassy.org/fundraise?fcid=164114
FAUSSET
continued from page 2 skill and contributions. “From the time I arrived in 2008, it was apparent that Leslie was a leader among educational leaders, not only in North County, but the greater San Diego region and state,” said Ken Noah, superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District. “Her wisdom and experience are unparalleled, but her thoughtful, student-centered approach has helped guide us in our individual and collective decision-making.” Rancho Santa Fe School District superintendent Lindy Delaney called Fausset “the consummate professional.” “I have the utmost admiration for Leslie as an educational leader in her district and the north coastal schools,” said Dee Rich, former San Dieguito Union High School District board member. “She set the highest standards of educational excellence for her district and shared her knowledge with all the other districts.” Overcoming poverty Fausset’s advice to education leaders is to always keep kids at the center of every decision. Her principals echo this message. Brian McBride, principal of Solana Pacific, a grades 5-6 school in Carmel Valley, called Fausset “a thoughtful and compassionate listener [who] has consistently put kids first in any conversation.” Principal Jerry Jones of Solana Highlands, a grades K-4 school in Carmel Valley, said, “She has always been child-centered and has always supported our district to find ways to continually help all children maximize their learning potential.” Teaching, Fausset said, is “a very isolated profession,” recalling how difficult her first year of teaching was and how she might never have continued if not for the support she received from veteran teachers. She considers professional development one of the highest priorities. Julie Norby, principal of Solana Santa Fe in Fairbanks Ranch, said Fausset often shared her experiences as a first-grade teacher. “It was obvious that she loved being a classroom teacher and that she held the core belief that the most important factor in the success of a child is the teacher in the classroom,” Norby said. Principal Lisa Denham of Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach called Fausset “a visionary leader with integrity, a passion for children and education, and an ability to communicate with staff, students and parents across the district.” Fausset called the continued decrease in education funding tragic, saying, “We’re cutting days and we’re cutting years and cutting back on time when honestly
there’s more to learn and more to experience today than we had even yesterday.” Fausset’s most passionate plea was for society to recognize the special needs of lowincome students. “We have to figure out how to help our children overcome poverty,” she said. “[Otherwise], they will never, particularly in this complicated world we are living in now, be able to access success.” Still hopeful With an institution that is by nature static, Fausset said educators must find a way “to become much more dynamic to deal with the changing needs of our students and the changing world we’re living in.” One of the biggest challenges, she said, is how to stay current with technology and how to integrate technology successfully with teachers in real classrooms. “I think there will always be a school,” she said. “There’s always going to be a role for instruction and a role for [face-to-face] interaction. But I think it might look differently.” Despite all the hurdles facing public education, she is inspired by the enthusiasm and willingness of young educators to change and adapt to new styles of learning and teaching. “There are incredible young people coming forward,” she said. “I meet people and kids every day who make me feel a lot better about the future. So I’m very hopeful.” Among Fausset’s many achievements in the district, one highlight has been her work to strengthen the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning, which raises voluntary contributions to support many school programs. Bryan Pruden, father of two Solana Beach children and president of the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning, called Fausset “incredibly humble” but someone who “has personally been more responsible than any other person I can think of in the positive effect she’s had on the community.” “She has preserved one of the best educational experiences in the country for our children in very challenging times,” he said. Fausset expressed “heartfelt appreciation to the community, students and staff for the privilege of working with them. I think that we have charted a path to ensure success for all students, and I appreciate the dedication and the care that this community has to that end. I have every confidence that the district will continue to thrive To read in full what parents, administrators, board members, legislators and friends wrote about Leslie Fausset’s 40 years in education, please go to this newspaper’s Web site www. rsfreview.com and click on the News or Schools category.

You get the windows, we pay the interest Because of our Pre-Season Special, you don’t have to settle for cheap windows. The problems with cheap windows: • Even through normal temperature changes, vinyl and fiberglass windows expand, contract, warp and leak. • Only staples, screws and glues hold them together, so when their seals break, and their insulating gas is gone, so is your comfort.
The solution is our Fibrex® window: • We’re the replacement window division of Andersen, and they developed our Fibrex material to meet their superior standards. • Fibrex is so strong it prevents glass movement, seal failure, and discomfort in your home.

This Pre-Season Special ends April 30th To keep our installers working during our slow season, we’re offering the biggest discount we can afford.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Little Rascalz Soccer offers unique, fun sports program for kids BY KAREN BILLING Beth Hooshidar is in the business of sloppy kisses and snuggle zones, silliness and soccer balls. As the owner of Little Rascalz Soccer, she has brought soccer to the younger set (children ages 18 months to 5 years old) throughout San Diego for the last seven years. “Pre-schoolers are a different breed, they’re peculiar little folk, very unique and special,” said Hooshidar, describing her playful work of laughing, herding kids that don’t exactly pay attention all the time, playing games and laughing some more. “This beats working for a living. I still pinch myself every day.” Classes are held from Carlsbad to Coronado, including at Carmel Grove Park, Carmel Knolls Park, the Ocean Air Recreation Center and Carmel Valley Recreation Center. Hooshidar, aka “Coach Bethy,” and her husband Siamak, known to the Rascalz Soccer kids as “Coach Smacky,” founded Little Rascalz together, trying to make a dream come true. Hooshidar, who was a pre-school teacher in her native England, had come across the pond to the San Francisco area to work as a nanny. While living in San Francisco, she saw a program attempting to teach soccer to pre-school children and just knew they were taking the wrong approach. “I thought, this is something we could do in a different style so I Googled the most affable climate in the U.S. and this is where we came up with,” Hooshidar said. They packed all their belongings in a U-Haul and came down south, “so broke it was untrue,” begged for permits and fields, and started their first class at Kate Sessions Park with six children. “We have 4,000 children every year now,” Hooshidar said. “Talk about the American dream, I mean really, big time…I never in my wildest dreams of thought we’d get to this point.” Their business has grown every year, even during a re-
Bugs Bunny playing all the positions in a baseball game. While Little Rascalz runs all year long, spring is always a very busy season. Classes are offered in an eight-week sessions for Mommy (or Daddy) & Me (18 months to 2 1/2 years old), a regular class that is suitable for the majority of children, a veterans class (ages 4-6) and an advanced class (5-6ish). They also offer summer camps and birthday parties. For more information on schedules and registration, visit www.littlerascalzsoccer.com or call 619-309-9626.
Little Rascalz Soccer has brought the sport to children ages 18 months to 5 years old throughout San Diego for the last seven years. Courtesy photo cession and Hooshidar believes it’s because their product is unique and has a high quality people can recognize. “It’s just resonated with people, especially in [this area],” she said. “Carmel Valley is a quarter of our entire business. We have four locations here in this teeny, tiny area.” Little Rascalz classes hope to instill a passion for the game in a play-based environment — balls become dinosaur eggs or sparkly jewels and the children have to get them to their nest or princess castle, respectively. They learn fundamentals and the kids are constantly in motion, everyone participating in the game at the same time, not waiting their turn. “It’s action-packed and it has to be,” Hooshidar said, comparing her coaches running around to the cartoon of

PET CONNECTION Meet RASCAL! This loving boy is an adorable Yorkshire Terrier Blend who has won the heart of every volunteer at the Center. He is 15 years-old, but don’t tell Rascal that! He thinks he is much younger and likes to get out on nice walks (or even jogs), followed by a relaxing evening of lounging with his favorite friend. Rascal weighs 21 lbs. and has been waiting patiently for a family of his own. He is a great roommate who gets along famously with every dog he meets. You truly couldn’t ďŹ nd a gentler, more-loving dog. He has been neutered and is up-to-date on all his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $249 and, as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, is micro chipped for identiďŹ cation. As an added bonus, Rascal also comes with two free passes to SeaWorld! Helen Woodward Animal Center is located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. For more information call 858-756-4117, option #1 or visit www.animalcenter.org.

CROSSWORD
Rancho Santa Fe Review
Prudential’s Charitable Foundation gets an ‘A+’ from local homeless children As a result of efforts made by Prudential California Realty’s Polly Rogers, the Monarch School was recently awarded with a $3,500 grant from The Charitable Foundation. A broker associate with 35 years of experience in residential sales, Rogers was instrumental in raising awareness about the school, which provides educational services for students impacted by homelessness. The Monarch School is a partner with the San Diego County Office of Education and the only school of its kind in the country. “I can’t imagine a more worthy organization than the Monarch School,� notes Rogers, who serves on the board for the San Diego chapter of The Charitable Foundation. “It’s very gratifying to think that we are helping to break the cycle of homelessness for so many deserving local children. I would like to thank everyone who made this possible, especially Nate Postlethwait of Pickford Escrow.� Backed by the dedicated agents at Prudential, The Charitable Foundation supports local organizations that promote health, education, community, and the environment. Officially known as Prudential’s The Charitable Foundation/Agent Community Outreach organization, the charity has provided over 1,000 grants, in excess of
$4 million, to make a beneficial and constructive impact on the community. Rogers is a native of Coronado and a graduate of San Diego State University. A consistent award winner throughout her career, her sales production in 2011 ranked her at the number 37 position out of more than 1,300 Prudential agents in San Diego County. Based in Prudential’s Rancho Santa Fe Properties office, Rogers offers personalized and efficient representation for buyers and sellers in coastal North
County, La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe. She credits her success to her extensive community knowledge and dedication to her clients. “My philosophy has always been consistent,� explains Rogers. “The best interests of my clients come first and foremost in my professional representation of their needs.� Polly Rogers can be reached in Prudential California Realty’s Rancho Santa Fe office on her direct line at (858) 774 – 2505.
