RSF covenant residents can now submit petitions to start utility undergrounding process BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Residents of the Rancho Santa Fe covenant willing to assess themselves to pay for undergrounding utility lines on or near their property now have a legal mechanism to move forward. The Rancho Santa Fe Association board April 7 unanimously approved language for petitions that can be submitted by covenant property owners to start the undergrounding process. Association staff will now contact property owners who indicated following a 2010 public hearing that they are willing to serve as “district captains” to work with their neighbors on beginning the undergrounding process. The Association has mapped out 39 potential assessment districts, containing an average of 48 properties apiece, that could be set up to fund utility undergrounding projects. Initially, the Association will work with residents in five prospective assessment districts as a pilot project to establish the process, said RSF Association Manager Pete Smith. The district captains will contact their neighbors and determine if they are interested in moving forward, Smith said. “These are people who have been very enthusiastic See UTILITY, page 30

RSF Patrol expected to move to permanent home soon The Rancho Santa Fe Patrol is expected to move into its new, permanent home in the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District building on El Fuego as soon as June 1. Association officials have been working on finding a permanent home for the patrol for the past four years, said Smith. The Association will lease space made available when the fire protection district purchased office space in the Cielo Village commercial center. The fire district moved its administrative offices to the new location, but will maintain its fire station and dispatch center on El Fuego. The Association is still working out the final details of the 30-year lease, which will include 15 parking spaces on property owned by the Rancho Santa Fe School District. The patrol office will include work stations for the Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol, said Smith, consolidating law enforcement and safety services for Rancho Santa Fe in one location. “It’s a significant positive all-around for everyone,” Smith said. — Joe Tash

School facility still safe, officials say, after inspector’s felony conviction revealed BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR The Rancho Santa Fe School District’s newly renovated R. Roger Rowe campus is safe and well-built, in spite of revelations this week that one of the project’s inspectors had been convicted of a felony in a 20-year-old construction safety case, the district’s superintendent said. California Watch, a project of the nonprofit Center for Investigative Reporting, published an article over the weekend which re-

vealed that Richard Vale, who was hired by the school district to inspect work on its $38 million campus renovation project, had pleaded no contest to a charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice. The charge stemmed from allegations that Vale had signed off on faulty seismic anchors, used to protect buildings from earthquake damage, that were installed by the owner of a Los Angeles-area construction company in the early 1990s, according to court documents.

Rancho Santa Fe School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said she learned of Vale’s history through the California Watch report. Vale was hired in 2009 and worked on the Rancho Santa Fe School project throughout its construction. The California Division of the State Architect, or DSA, signed off on Vale’s hiring by the district through a construction inspecting firm. Delaney said Vale was one of several on-site conSee SCHOOL, page 30

Results from the Association’s survey of members on long-term planning issues will be released at the Association board’s April 21 meeting. The survey is conducted every 10 years to determine which issues are most important to Association members. This year’s survey contained questions on a number of issues, from utility undergrounding, to open space, to Internet access and electronic communications with members, said RSF Association Manager Pete Smith. This year, some 47 percent of households responded to the survey, compared to just over 50 percent in 2001, Smith said. — Joe Tash

RSF School board briefs April 7 meeting The Rancho Santa Fe School Board held its monthly meeting April 7. Below is brief summary of some of the topics discussed. RSF School track and field project update The RSF School board heard an update on the RSF School track and field project, which is estimated to cost just over $2.4 million, including the cost of equipment. The design plan features a new synthetic playing field, a new long jump area, a new score board, new stairs and a new bench wall. The existing play area will remain, but there will be a new rubberized poured-in-place surfacing added. The existing lunch structure will also remain, but that, too, will have a new rubberized poured-in-place surface added in the space adjacent to it. The hard courts will be resealed and restriped, and the gaga pit will be relocated near them. There will also be new maintenance area pads added for storage sheds. This project is slated to be completed by Friday, Aug. 26. SMART Boards presentation SMART Boards technology director Ben Holbert gave a presentation showcasing the company’s latest model of interactive white boards. These teaching tools allow teachers to use touch-screen technology to enhance lesson plans, even giving them the option to upload media, material from the web, and digital lesson plans from textbook publishers. Students can also interact via handheld responders, which allow teachers to track individual progress and shave time off grading papers by hand. The school board will likely revisit the idea of using SMART Boards in May, once there is a better idea of how much it would cost to buy them, and how much training it would require to get teachers acclimated to using them. — Marlena Chavira-Medford

Profile

Local photographer teams with friend on expeditions to help save threatened great white sharks from extinction BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor He still shoots portraits, but for the past two years, local photographer Mark Frapwell has shot thousands of images of great white sharks, in and out of the water, on scientific “catch, tag and release” expeditions to help collect data that hopefully will help save these threatened marine animals from extinction. The expeditions are currently being aired through the Fischer Productions’ “Shark Men” television series on the National Geographic Channel. The first season of “Shark Men’ premiered on April 10 and will continue on Sunday evenings through June 12. Frapwell, 44, is the expeditions’ still photographer, and his former La Jolla High School classmate, Captain Brett McBride, 43, is the expeditions’ marine captain. Fischer Productions, founded in 2001, is a leading outdoor-oriented television content provider and six-time Emmy Award winner.

Mark Frapwell and Brett McBride Photo: Jon Clark McBride has been with Fischer Productions for 14 years. He captained the vessel on “Offshore Adventures,” a televised sport fishing program that ran on ESPN Outdoors for some 200 episodes. Most recently, Fischer Productions formed a multivessel expedition unit to

Quick Facts Name: Mark Frapwell Distinction: Photographer Mark Frapwell is the expedition still photographer on the “Shark Men” research documentary television series now being aired on the National Geographic Channel. Born: Normal, Illinois, 44 years ago. Grew up in La Jolla. Education: Graduated La Jolla High School in 1985. Studied business at Colorado State. Family: He and his wife, Audreen, have been married 17 years. They have three children: son, Kolten, 16, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy; daughter, Madison, 13, a student at Ashley Falls School; and son, Avery, 4, a student at Mrs. Frapwell’s Pre-Preschool. Physical Regimen: Walking with his wife three times a week and surfing. Interests: Outside of photography, spending time with his family. Favorite getaways: Warner Hot Springs and Tahiti Current reading: “The Sales Bible,” by Jeffrey Gitomer Philosophy: “Laugh a lot.”

conduct scientific ocean research to promote conservation and sustainable fishing practices around the world. To date, Frapwell has accompanied McBride and the expeditions’ 18-member crew of scientists, deck hands and TV videographers on great white expeditions to waters off Northern California, Southern California, Mexico and Costa Rica to gather data on the breeding, feeding and migratory habits of the great whites. We interviewed Frapwell and McBride in Frapwell’s tiny “Man Cave” stand-alone office at his home which also serves as the site of “Mrs. Frapwell’s Pre-Preschool” for children 2 to 5 years old. “The biggest thing about these expeditions is to save the ocean,” Frapwell said. “And the sharks are a very, very important part of the ocean. If the sharks disappear, then the ocean will go to ruin. We want our children’s children to be able to see this wonderful, alive ocean.” Commenting on his upclose encounters with the GWS, Frapwell said, “It is the most exhilarating and exciting thing I have ever done. It is so intense being in the water with a 4,000-pound great white shark coming at me and no cage for protection ...” Fortunately, humans are not a favorite food of great whites, despite their

man-eater reputation fueled in large part by the 1975 movie “Jaws” based on a novel of the same name. Shark attacks on humans are relatively rare, while humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks, legally and illegally, each year, threatening the survival of the species. Sharks are particularly vulnerable to overfishing because they grow and mature slowly and have a small number of young. Frapwell was born in Normal, Illinois. He was the youngest in a family of three brothers. The family moved to La Jolla when Frapwell was six months old. His father, who passed away two years ago, was a State Farm Insurance agent. “I’ve been taking photographs since I was about 10 years old,” Frapwell said. “My dad made a darkroom for us when we were little kids and we used to go out and play ‘Army’ in the canyon and everybody would have their Red Ryder BB guns and I would have the camera [a Brownie]. And I’d take the pictures and go back to the darkroom and develop them.” After high school, Frapwell studied business briefly at Colorado State. “My brother, David, and I opened a portrait studio/lab in Carmel Valley in 1989. I did that until 1996, and then I opened my own portrait studio, Mark Frapwell Photography, off Carmel Valley Road near the Evergreen Nursery. When he wasn’t shooting portraits, he focused on photographing landscapes and wildlife for his own pleasure. He began photographing wildlife commercially in 2002 on assignment for the San Diego Zoo in Botswana, Tanzania and South Africa. In 2005, he returned to Africa to shoot publicity photographs for a safari in Kenya. He later accompanied a group of doctors to Nigeria to document their work in surgically removing goiters caused by the excessive use of palm oil in the diets of the local people. Two years ago, to reduce his overhead, he

moved his studio to his home, where he continues to do portraits and from where he generates assignments to photograph wildlife. McBride was born in Washington, D.C., while his mother and father were in medical school. The family moved to La Jolla when McBride was 11 months old. “I started fishing and diving about the same time when I was 5,” McBride said. Also about that time, he met legendary San Diegobased, long-range sportfishing skipper Don Sansome, who became his hero and role model. “So from the time I was 5, I wanted to be a captain,” McBride said. “And I started working on boats when I was in the sixth grade.” After high school, he captained private yachts into Mexican, Costa Rican and Alaskan waters. In 1987, he moved to Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, where he lived and worked out of for 21 years. With a growing family, McBride recently returned to La Jolla with his wife, Gabriela, and their two children. Frapwell and McBride wasted no time getting together and catching up on their lives since high school. “I heard that Brett had been doing the “Offshore Adventures” fishing shows,” Frapwell said, “and when we got together he told me

about how he was catching and tagging great white sharks and I said, ‘Are you serious?’ And I asked him if they would also need still photography, and he said, ‘Yeah,’ — and I said ‘I’m in.’” Beginning in 2009, the expedition with leader Chris Fischer and marine biologist Michael Domeier traveled to Southern California off Malibu and San Onofre to study juvenile great whites; to the rocky, barren Farallon Islands in the National Marine Sanctuary off San Francisco in search of mature GWS; to Guadalupe Island, Loreto, San Felipe, and the Revillagigedos Islands off of Baja California; and to the Cocos Islands off Costa Rica. By attaching satellite tracking devices and a popup tags, and taking measurements, DNA and sperm samples from live wild sharks, scientists are hoping to unravel the life cycle mysteries of the great whites and other sharks — where they are born, how they mate, and their migration routes, to help conserve and protect these endangered mammals.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Filmmaker creates ‘documentaries that make a difference’ BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Don’t worry, be happy. Those four little words are a key to the full, fulfilling lives of the 90- and 100-year-olds featured in “Over 90 and Loving It,” a documentary by local resident Susan Polis Schutz. First screened at the Jewish Film Festival in February, it drew such a crowd that two additional screening rooms were opened to accommodate the audience. On April 20, it will have its “official” premiere at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. For the film, Schutz interviewed people across the country, from all walks of life, including her husband’s uncle, a 94-year-old New York City cab driver. Each fivehour interview included the same 50 questions. “The hardest part was cutting that five hours down to five minutes,” Schutz said, “and deciding which people to use in the film. It’s always hard to drop people, when you come to love them all.” The 13 who made the cut have certain things in common: a healthy lifestyle, a positive attitude, and a commitment to following

City’s Harlem ghetto, was drawn into 1960s activism, and met her husband, Stephen, who had a doctorate in physics and a talent for art. The two made their way to Boulder, Colorado, where Stephen had a job in solar physics, and Susan worked as a freelance writer until one fateful day in 1970, when he decided to illustrate a poem she had written to a friend. They started silk-screening posters in their basement, selling them from the back of their pickup truck. Then they branched out into greeting cards — the humble beginning of their wildly successful company, Blue Mountain Arts. With Susan’s ability to put her personal experiences into words that millions of people could identify with, Blue Mountain cards were like something you’d get from a caring, compassionate, sweetly articulate friend. Books and calendars followed, and then, in the 1990s, they pioneered electronic greeting cards by launching bluemountain. com. They sold that part of the company in 1999. “We got into it because we had nice messages,” said Schutz. “But the business part — all that deal-making — was

not for us.” Filmmaking became her new passion. In 2005, she produced and directed “Anyone and Everyone,” with parents of gay sons and daughters speaking frankly about their kids’ coming out. Like her poems, the film came from personal experience, since her oldest son is gay. “I saw the torture he and his friends went through, telling their families, and what the families went through, and I found some wonderful people to be in the film,” Schutz said. All her films have the same interview format, and generally deal with some issue she’s faced in her life. There’s one on depression, another on following your dreams. Her current project deals with resiliency: How do you turn your life around after tragedy? And she keeps in touch with many of the people in her films. Schutz works with the same team, year after year. Karen Bidgood, her executive assistant for the past 13 years, is her associate producer. (Not so long, in Schutz-time — many of the Blue Mountain staff have been with her more than 30 years!)

What is a great experience? Cohen’s stint on ‘Jeopardy!’ BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Local resident Barry Cohen, a long-time “Jeopardy!” viewer “sofa champion,” appeared on the real TV game show on March 22, finishing second and winning $2,000. Cohen admits answering the questions in your living room without cameras, lights and the studio audience is a lot easier than being on the actual show and competing against “30-something reflexes,” but he still had a great time. “It was terrific,” Cohen said. “A tremendous amount of fun.” The 10-year local resident, originally from Nashville, Tenn., has worked for Kaludis Consulting, a higher education consulting firm headquartered in Washington D.C., for 32 years. For years people told Cohen he should try out for “Jeopardy,” especially his wife Patricia Hall and son David. “They were my boosters, encouraging me to continue going after it,” Cohen said. Cohen has tried out for the show twice, once in 2000 (he did not make it) and the second time in 2009. Potential contestants are given a series of questions, with a new one appearing every nine sec-

day, two days a week, with tapings beginning at 9:30 a.m. The contestants get very little interaction with host Alex Trebek, save for their anecdotal stories at the first break. The rest of the time Trebek entertains the studio audience and Cohen said he was very personable. Waiting in the audience for his name to be called for a game, Cohen watched as the two-time champion Tom Kunzen won three more games; by lunchtime, Kunzen had become a five-time “Jeopardy” champion with earnings of $133,000. Cohen was called for the fourth game of the day, against Kunzen and Megan Barnes. “I was hoping for the categories of sports or colleges and universities,” Cohen said. “British monarchies would have been one I’d not have relished.” Cohen said doing well on “Jeopardy” comes down to three key factors: luck of the draw on categories; quick reflexes to get control of the board; and hitting well on the Daily Double. Cohen hit the Daily Double early in the first round so he had very little money to wager. The game went by in such a blur that afterward Cohen said he

couldn’t remember a single category or answer except for the Final Jeopardy category, which was “Garments of the World.” At that point Cohen was in a “distant third” with $11,000. “My only hope was if they bet a lot and got it wrong and I bet a lot and got it right,” Cohen said. “I didn’t want to end with a goose egg so I bet all but $2.” The clue was: “The custom of Hijab, Arabic for “veiling”, can include this garment, mentioned by Kipling” and Cohen said he had a total brain freeze, writing “What is…” on his screen. He ended up with those $2. Kunzen bet it all and got it wrong; Barnes correctly guessed “burka” and won—she went on to become a three-day champion winning $103,000. Those two dollars ended up being the difference between Cohen placing second instead of third, and winning $2,000 instead of $1,000. For now, Cohen will continue to play from his couch but he wouldn’t rule out playing another TV game show — he said he would consider taking a spin on “Wheel of Fortune.”

Share laughs, share hugs at RSF Toastmasters to host Open House, speech contest Kids Korpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Red Haute Tango Gala May 6 The Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters, a club formed approximately two years ago, is hosting an open house on April 26 at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center from 5:30-6:30 p.m. The RSF Club has already earned its Distinguished Club status, a high achievement for such a newly formed club, and has successfully competed in Toastmaster Speech Contests in the region. On Saturday, May 7, RSF will be hosting, at our Community Center, the Northern Division Speech Contest, headed by Division Governor Woody Wilson. Muffy Walker, from the RSF club, will be in the Table Topics portion of the contest. Toastmasters began in October 1924 when a group of men assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the basement of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California,

U.S.A., forming a club â&#x20AC;&#x153;to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings, and to promote sociability and good fellowship among its members.â&#x20AC;? The group took the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toastmasters.â&#x20AC;? Today, Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests. Toastmasters International includes more than 199,000 members in more than 9,300 clubs in more than 70 countries. Experienced professionals and beginning speakers alike can benefit from our practical, face-to-face learning program. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re speaking to the board of directors, your customers, your co-workers or your

kids, Toastmasters can help you do it better. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with people who are there for the same reason you areâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to become better communicators. At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of people who meet once a week for about an hour. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and offering constructive evaluation.

Fairbanks GOP Women Federated Men’s Auxiliary to host CEO of ‘Club for Growth’

RSF Women’s Fund “shoeless” participants

RSF Women’s Fund Advisory Committee goes shoeless in support of ‘One Day Without Shoes’ The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund Advisory Committee joined in the One Day Without Shoes Campaign April 5 hosted by TOMS Shoes. One Day Without Shoes is an annual event hosted by TOMS Shoes in which students, friends, parents, strangers, and coworkers host or participate in events without shoes. Some go without shoes for an hour, some for the whole day, but all become a part of a greater movement toward change. Did you know most children in developing countries grow up barefoot? Did you know some children walk without shoes for miles each day, and they can often not attend school without proper footwear? In Ethiopia, approximately 1 million people are suffering from a debilitating disease

Fairbanks Republican Women Federated Men’s Auxiliary will host former Congressman Chris Chocola, president and CEO of the Club for Growth on April 26, from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at Morgan Run Club and Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. Chris Chocola Cost is $40 members, $45 non-members; $50 at the door. Appetizers and wine will be served. RSVP or mail check to PO Box 8674, RSF, CA 92067; (619) 491-4962. Club for Growth is a national network of thousands of pro-growth Americans, from all walks of life, who believe that prosperity and opportunity come through economic

freedom. They work to promote public policies that encourage a high growth economy and a swift return to America’s founding principles primarily through legislative involvement, issue advocacy, research, training and educational activity. Club for Growth Policy Goals: * Reduce income tax rates * Death tax repeal * Limited government through limited spending (budget reform) * Social Security reform with personal retirement accounts * Expanding trade freedom (free trade) * End abusive lawsuits through medical malpractice and tort reform * Replacing the current tax code (flat tax, fair tax) * School choic * Regulatory reform and deregulation

She gave an Janean Rogers about her son starting middle overview of the school. classes all seventh grade students take as well as the various electives offered such as Digital Art, Yearbook and Student Leadership.

She encouraged parents to let their children have a say in the classes they choose. “Middle school is a perfect time to let them experiment with different subjects,” she said. “Our job is to make sure your kids are doing well.” Pedroza, who has been the principal at Earl Warren for the past six years, said the majority of sixth graders at Solana Santa Fe will attend Earl Warren in the fall. She recommended attending the school orientation on Aug. 18. “Students will learn the lay of the land and meet other kids,” said Pedroza. Pedroza will soon be leaving Earl Warren to become principal at Oak Crest Middle School. Earl Warren will welcome MaryAnne Nuskin as its principal. She is currently head of Diegueno Middle School. All three schools are in the San Dieguito Union High School District. — Stacey Phillips

A San Dieguito Wetlands Project educational seminar will be held on Wednesday, April 27, at 6 p.m. at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. Many people living in the North Tom Golich County are not aware of the full extent of the San Dieguito River Park, which runs from Dog Beach in Del Mar to the Julian area. They may know the area around the Del Mar Fairgrounds, or the newly restored wetlands on both sides of I-5, or the portion of the park where the Morgan Run Golf Course is located, or Lake Hodges or maybe even San Pasqual Valley near the San Diego Wild Animal Park. This is only a portion of the San Dieguito River Park. The park extends all the way to Volcan Mountain, north of Julian. Speaker Tom Golich will share with you the extent and beauty of the river park. In addition, he will share the work of the three

organizations that are responsible for the well being of the park. Golich will present a short DVD professionally produced almost 10 years ago showing the full extent of the park. He will then talk about the changes taken place in the park since the DVD was produced. There are now almost 40 miles of trails completed of the planned 55 miles of trails with connecting trails. The river park is a great place to walk, hike, bike or ride your horse in the natural beauty of the park. Many parts of the park on the eastern end look more like Northern California than San Diego County. Golich’s association with the river park comes from having served on the river park’s Joint Powers Authority Board for four years while a member of the Solana Beach City Council, He served three years as the president of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy Board and presently as the chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee for the JPA Board. This is a complimentary event. To RSVP, please call Morgan Run Club & Resort at 858-756-2471. For more information about the club, visit www.morganrun.com.

Abandoned ‘Pizza Puppies’ ready for adoption Get ‘em while they’re hot! Pick a pair of “Pizza Puppies” at Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC). Dewey and Davey, a pair of Jack Russell Terrier puppies that were found abandoned behind a pizza parlor are eightweeks-old and ready for their own dinner plates. “It almost reminds us of the story of Lady and the Tramp,” says HWAC spokesperson Trisha St. George. “But in this case both Dewey and Davey were tiny puppies when they were found in an alley behind a restaurant. We’ll never understand how someone could look into those precious, innocent little faces and still dump them into an alley where, in all likelihood, they would have died if someone hadn’t happened by and found them.” St. George says that Dewey and Davey are believed to be two months old. Davey weighs nearly 7 pounds and little brother Dewey is still less than 4 pounds. With proper care and nutrition, both puppies are expected to grow up to become happy, healthy, 15 to 20 pound adult dogs. St. George says the adoption fee for

Davey and Dewey Dewey or Davey is $295. “There’s also a one time $40 registration fee for the microchip. That way they can be identified if they ever decide to go out for pizza on their own,” St. George said. Pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center also receive a free onenight stay at club pet boarding after the first month. For more information about Dewey, Davey, or any of the other orphan pets available for adoption visit Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe, call 858-756-4117, or log on to “http://www.animalcenter.org” www.animalcenter.org.

RSF’s Silver Medallion in the hunt Silver Medallion ran in the $1 million Santa Anita Derby (Grade I) at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia on April 9, hoping to secure enough earnings for a spot in this year’s Kentucky Derby. After stalking the pace, he weakened and finished fourth, as Midnight Interlude got up in the final strides to win the race by a head over Comma to the Top. Rancho Santa Fe resident Steven Marshall, president of Western Energy Production, owns the majority interest in Silver Medallion. According to a Santa Anita news release, Silver Medallion will head to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., on

April 14, but a decision had not been as of presstime for this newspaper made as to whether he will still run in the Kentucky Derby, set for May 7. Photo/Kelley Carlson

Education Matters: Bullying and the middle school years: The case for K-8 By Marsha Sutton All the recent media coverage on bullying reminded me of several lectures I attended a few years ago by a UCLA psychology professor whose area of expertise is young adolescent peer relationships and school adjustment. Her lectures focused on bullying, peer group conformity among young teens, and middle school. Jaana Juvonen, chair of UCLA’s developmental psychology program, addressed bullying as it relates to the middle school years, and she offered some interesting, research-based Marsha Sutton evidence that isolating young ado-

lescents in separate middle school facilities may be a flawed practice. Juvonen’s research, as explained on her Web site, has examined “the development of some questionable peer group norms and values that seem to surface at the time when students transfer to middle school.” Juvonen also served as adjunct behavioral scientist at RAND Corporation in 2004 where she worked with colleagues to produce a book titled “Focus on the Wonder Years: Challenges Facing the American Middle School.” According to the book’s summary, the middle school years represent a critical time for young teens who “undergo multiple physical, socialemotional and intellectual changes that shape who they are and how they function as adults. The schools young teens attend play a critical role in shaping these futures.” The summary states that “middle schools have been called the Bermuda Triangle of education and have been blamed for increases in behavior problems, teen alienation, disengagement from school, and low achievement.” Some findings from Juvonen and RAND include: The concept of an intermediate school between elementary and high school often [historically] had more to do with labor market needs, the capacity of school buildings, or societal and demographic pressures, than with educational or developmental considerations. Research suggests that the onset of puberty is an especially poor reason for beginning a new phase of schooling. Young teens do better in K-8 schools than in schools with configurations that require a transition to an intermediary school. School climate and bullying findings include: National school safety statistics suggest that physical conflict is especially problematic in middle schools, and student concerns about safety predict emotional distress that can compromise academic performance. Comparisons [with other middle-school-age students internationally] show that U.S. students view the climate of their schools and the peer culture more negatively than do students in other countries, making conditions for learning sub-optimal. U.S. educators should learn how other countries successfully promote student well-being and foster positive school climates in a manner

that supports academic achievement in schools that serve young teens. Academic performance and teacher preparedness decline in middle schools: International comparison studies show that the relative performance of U.S. students in mathematics and science declines from elementary school to middle school. Only about one-quarter of middle school teachers are certified to teach at the middle grades; the majority of the rest are certified to teach at the elementary level. Middle school teachers are likely to lack both the subject matter expertise and formal training on the development of young adolescents. Parental involvement and student connectedness diminish in the middle school years: Middle schools contribute to the decline in parental involvement by offering fewer activities and providing less support to parents than elementary schools do. Middle school parents are often discouraged from direct involvement. A more disengaged, hands-off approach, and the message that parents need to begin to “let go” of their children during these transitional years, are communicated. Having students move from classroom to classroom, teacher to teacher, with no safety net of the elementary years’ “homeroom” teacher, compounds the problem. Onset of puberty America’s middle schools generally consist of grades six, seven and eight. These are the “middle years” – those grades between elementary school and high school, when kids are 11, 12 and 13 years old. These years are a time when adolescents experience some of the most dramatic physical changes in their lives. And with the onset of puberty can come social, emotional and psychological turmoil. According to the RAND study, alternatives to the separate 6-8 or 7-8 middle school should be considered, to reduce multiple transitions from school to school. This is particularly important at a time in students’ lives when traumatic adjustments can negatively affect healthy physical and emotional development. Juvonen, in her lecture several years ago, argued that society pulls kids out of a safe, comfortable environment – elementary school – and throws them into a separate facility we call middle school, just at a time when they most need to remain in protective, familiar surroundings. “Right around the time that most kids are transferring to middle school, everything starts to happen,” she said in an article in TIME magazine on the RAND report. This is a fragile time for children, and a strong case can be made that removing them from their comfort zone and putting them in a “holding tank” where they are essentially in limbo between elementary school and high school can impede developmental and academic progress and is exactly the wrong thing to do. The elementary school provides grounding for kids and offers continuity and familiarity – just the type of environment critical for children going through major changes in their lives. It’s not just the physical surroundings that provide comfort at a time of upheaval. The elementary school’s homeroom teacher, absent in most middle schools, does more than teach. He or she is the primary contact, advisor, counselor, protector, confidante, and, hopefully, mentor and role model – someone the student can trust and confide in. Without all this to lean on, inappropriate sexual behavior, drug and alcohol abuse, and bullying – particularly cyber-bullying – can escalate in the middle school years. Witnesses, Juvonen says, rarely intervene but can thwart bullying if schools provide appropriate training and tools. But school officials are at an immediate disadvantage when safe surroundings are removed and kids are thrown together in a new school with minimal protective adult oversight. After years of data collection and analysis, Juvonen authored a paper several years ago titled “Bullying and School Violence,” in which she noted the following: Bullying often entails abuse of psychological strength and relies on name-calling, exclusion, threats and/or spreading of rumors. Compared to other grade levels, middle school students report the highest rates of bullying. Victims of repeated bullying exhibit feelings of depression and either withdrawn or aggressive behavior. Bullied youth are more likely to carry a weapon to school. Children who bully in childhood are at risk of becoming violent offenders. Almost two-thirds of public secondary school students think a shooting could take place in their school. Socially withdrawn and passive children are at risk of getting bullied and of becoming even more withdrawn after repeated experiences of bullying. Analyses of daily incidents of bullying in middle school show that social anxiety is increased when student bystanders see someone else being bullied. A caring climate in schools – in which students belong, feel respected and listened to, and where teachers help mediate hostile incidents – can buffer safety concerns and ease distress of the entire student body. A local K-8 model Locally, San Dieguito Union High School District’s middle schools serve students in seventh and eighth grades. But at schools with only two grades, feelings of disconnectedness are often exacerbated. Neither children nor parents are given time to make deeper connections to the school and the staff, school spirit is difficult to generate, and teachers don’t have enough time to get to know the students. And just as these pre-teens are uprooted from their familiar school environment at a time when they most need to stay connected to familiar adults and surroundings, a single primary teacher or adult in the system to whom they can approach for help has been removed. Making matters worse is that parents begin to withdraw from direct involvement in their children’s schooling. In the Rancho Santa Fe School District, however, a different model has been in use for decades. All on one campus, RSF serves 800 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Before 1968, the school was a K-6. But in 1968, the community approved construction bonds and authorized the return of seventh- and eighth-grade students from Earl Warren Middle School (then called a junior high school) in Solana Beach. The school expansion was complete in 1971, when the district officially became a K-8. Former RSF school superintendent R. Roger Rowe, who came to the school district in 1958 and retired in 2001, said the decision to pull the community’s seventh- and eighth-grade students back from SDUHSD’s Earl Warren was mostly for financial reasons. “We had 25 percent at that time of the assessed valuation of the San Dieguito Union High School District, but we had 5 percent of the youngsters,” said Rowe, adding that many RSF students were attending private schools for seventh and eighth grades instead of Earl Warren.

Letters to the Editor

Flower Hill Promenade improvements – A positive for the community There has been a lot of talk lately about the improvement plans for Flower Hill Promenade shopping center, which were recently given a stamp of approval from the City of San Diego’s Planning Commission. This follows approval from the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board. As president of Spindrift Del Mar Homeowners Association, a residential community located adjacent to the shopping center, I believe it’s important for the community to know our homeowners association’s board of directors voted unanimously to support this project for a number of reasons. First, Protea Properties, which owns Flower Hill Promenade, made a concerted effort to reach out to residents around the center to get our input and feedback. Since our community shares access to Flower Hill Drive with the shopping center, we initially had reservations about the project. Protea met with the Spindrift Del Mar Homeowners Association on a regular basis for several months to find solutions that addressed our concerns. We believe the revitalization of Flower Hill Promenade will improve the surround-

ing community by giving a facelift to existing exteriors and creating pedestrian connections between the mall and our community. We feel that Flower Hill Promenade is long overdue for these kinds of changes. The project will also bring a Whole Foods market and plazas for visitors to gather and socialize. We feel Whole Foods is a very positive addition not only by itself but also because other quality businesses will be attracted to the center. We feel the completed project will be a community amenity that will not only result in improved property values for surrounding residential property owners but also potential new sales tax revenues that will benefit our governments. This project has already received approval at every level of the entitlement process. We sincerely hope the members of the City Council will follow the recommendations of the decision makers who preceded them by approving the new Flower Hill Promenade when it comes before them this month. Horace Dietrich, president of the Spindrift Del Mar Homeowners Association

Rancho Santa Fe Review

UTILITY continued from page 1 about the program since it was brought out a year ago.” The first step in the formation of an assessment district is an engineering study to determine the costs for undergrounding the utilities — including electrical, telephone and cable lines — in a specific neighborhood. Each property owner in a district will be asked to contribute $2,000 toward the study. Once the overall cost is established, each property will be assigned a percentage of the total based on the benefit to that property — those that will benefit significantly will pay a higher share, while those not affected by above-ground power lines or poles might pay less, or nothing at all. Based on the assigned percentages, a weighted vote conducted by mail ballot will be held, along with a public hearing. If residents support the proposal, the work can be carried out, Smith said. The Association will assist on administrative aspects of the process, but the Rancho Santa Fe Community Services District — an entity with an elected board that provides sewer service and roadside landscape maintenance — will have the final decision on wheth-

er a particular assessment district is formed. RSF Association Planning Director Ivan Holler said the county’s Local Agency Formation Commission approved the Community Services District’s role in the undergrounding process. If a neighborhood votes to have the work done, Holler said, residents will have the choice of paying their share all at once, up front, or paying it in installments on their property tax bills. “By and large, the costs are paid by the folks that benefit,” Holler said. While it is not possible to estimate how much individual property owners might have to pay for undergrounding the utilities in their neighborhood, Holler said a 2006 study determined that it would cost about $160 million to bury all of the existing aboveground utility lines in Rancho Santa Fe. According to one estimate, said Smith, it can cost approximately $50,000 to take down a single pole and underground its utility lines. The process of setting up an assessment district is expected to take less than a year, and Association officials said they will have a more precise timeline once several of the districts have been formed.

struction inspectors, and the project was also scrutinized by a number of other entities, including a testing lab that checked such things as steel girders, soil compaction, concrete strength, welding, structural masonry and fireproofing. The on-site inspectors reported to the DSA, which must approve all school construction projects, Delaney said. “This inspector doesn’t work in isolation,” Delaney said. In light of the revelations about Vale, Delaney said she has consulted with the project’s construction team and was reassured that the school project, which included new classrooms, science labs, a band room, a performing arts center and administrative offices, is safe. “I feel satisfied with the quality and safety of our newly constructed school and we have every indication we have met all the rigorous requirements of the Division of the State Architect and the building code,” Delaney said. “There’s absolutely no evidence to suggest there are any deficiencies in labor, materials or inspections.” However, following the revelations about Vale, Delaney said she has requested a meeting with top officials in the state architect’s office to determine if any action is necessary. “There is no specific action needed at this time,” Delaney said in a telephone interview Tuesday. Vale, who lists his address as a post office box in

San Marcos, also worked as an inspector on construction projects at Palo Verde College in Riverside County, Chapman College Film School, and Lofts on Lake, according to a document filed with the state architect’s office when he was hired for the Rancho Santa Fe school project.

FRAPWELL continued from page 8 form, are employed to land, tag and release the great whites. A handline with a barbless baited hook is used to lure and catch the powerful predators. No fancy rods and reels here. And no hooks with barbs. The line that can hold 5,000 pounds with a number of buoys strung together to create hundreds of pounds of drag eventually wears down the shark’s resistance while shark wranglers hand-over-hand reel in the shark. The hooked shark is gently guided onto the cradle of the hydraulic platform lowered from the side of the mothership to four feet below the surface. When the shark is positioned on the cradle, the platform is raised out of the water, the shark’s tail is quickly secured with a rope, and the crew scurries to work on the shark. To keep the shark calm and relaxed during the procedure, it is blindfolded with a wet black towel draped over its eyes. And it keep the shark breathing, a long rubber hose is inserted into the shark’s tooth-filled mouth

and hundreds of gallons of oxygenated sea water are pumped into the mouth and out through the gills. The shark is measured, a DNA blood sample is taken, and, from male sharks, a sperm sample is taken. A satellite tracking tag is attached at the dorsal fin, the highest point on the shark and the body-part thought to have less blood flow to nerves and less sensitivity to the attached device. The tracking device, calibrated to relay a signal in real time every time the shark’s dorsal fin breaks the water’s surface, is built to last up to six years is capable of sending 120,000 messages. A secondary pop-up tag is also attached to the shark and the hook and hose are removed. For identification purposes, Frapwell photographs the shark on the platform and, when possible, in the ocean. For the shark’s safety, the shark is returned to the sea in less than 20 minutes and released. The total number of great whites caught, tagged, examined and released was 24, McBride said. Eighteen were caught off Mexico’s Guadalupe Island; three off Malibu, one off San Onofre, and two in the Farallon Islands’ waters. “On each expedition,” Frapwell said, “I probably shoot anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 images digitally. It’s shoot, shoot, shoot.” Next month, the expedition heads for Boca Grande, Florida, in search of Great Hammerheads and Bull Sharks for a planned Season Four of “Shark Men.” For more information, visit www.markfrapwell.com

BULLYING continued from page 26 “So we looked around and thought, gosh, we don’t have many people over there,” he said. “And yet we’re paying a lot to educate them.” He brought his case to the community, “and the community voted big-time for the youngsters to come back.” Rowe bases his belief that a K-8 is better for kids on personal observations. He agrees with those who say children this age should remain with a primary classroom teacher for most of their day. Going from teacher to teacher during the day “is not always a beneficial thing,” he said. He said having K-8 students intermingle during the day “was a real plus,” being a small community “didn’t hurt,” and having grades 7 and 8 in town saved families from driving long distances to either Earl Warren or private schools. “It worked out quite well for us,” Rowe said. Role models for younger students Current RSF superintendent Lindy Delaney said, “The K-8 setting … tends to enable the seventh- and eighth-graders to stay a little bit younger in some ways.” She said the middle school students are asked to be role models for younger children, which “helps them realize that they have a bigger place in the world and in our school community.” Delaney said she often hears demand for a K-8 from incoming parents. “When people come and look at this school, they want a K-8,” she said. “They are seeking that out, because I think they realize that it is more of a comprehensive education without disruption.” When students enter RSF’s middle school grades, teachers already know them

and “they’re part of the school community,” she said. “They see them come up through the ranks or they had a sibling,” she said. “So there’s a continuity and a consistency.” “Also, we know the families and we know the parents. We know that dynamic which makes for less transition. And I think that only helps students in their environment to be more successful.” Delaney, who began at Rancho Santa Fe as a middle school teacher 26 years ago, said the school is not immune to bullying. “But because we have a tighter knit community, we might hear about more of it and be asked to intervene [earlier],” she said. “Whenever we get word, we address it and we deal with it severely. We want students to realize that they’re part of a community and that’s not how we treat our community.” Delaney said there is collaboration, interaction on activities and buddy programs among the students in different grades. “We’ve tried to implement more of that from … the middle school to the lower grades this year, with more to come,” she said. Both Delaney and Rowe said they believe students feel more connected in a K-8 campus, which they say provides numerous advantages over a middle school facility that’s removed from a K-5 or a K-6 setting. “We have what I think is an ideal community feeling within our school,” Delaney said. Juvonen’s work, as well as observations over decades from Rancho Santa Fe, offers convincing evidence that a K-8 model can provide developmental support for adolescents at exactly the time in their lives when they need it most. And that supportive environment translates into higher self-esteem, stronger academic performance and kinder young citizens. Marsha Sutton can be reached at: SuttComm@san.rr.com.

Local mother and former fugitive shares her unique story in new book BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER

She was only 19 years old when she landed in a Michigan prison on a drug charge, 21 when she scaled a barbwire fence to escape. Thirty-three years later, Susan LeFevre’s past came to her doorstep in Carmel Valley where she had created a new life living as Marie Walsh, a wife, mother and secret fugitive. Taken back to prison in 2008, Walsh has been out since April 2009. A new book, “A Tale of Two Lives: The Susan LeFevre Fugitive Story” tells her unbelievable story and the “Fugitive Mom” has again captured the nation’s attention— she will be featured on Oprah on April 7 and appear on The Today Show on April 8. Walsh once thought the “Fugitive Mom” label was crass but has embraced it now, it’s the way people know her and the platform she has been given to tell her story, one that carries a message that the prison system needs to be reformed. Proceeds from her book will go toward re-entry programs for women released from prison. “(Prison) was unbelievably painful and the only way to take care of that pain is to use it for good,” Walsh said. “There needs to be more rehabilitation and education in prison, more than just a façade of it like it is now. It is almost devastating for some women to get out, the transition is very hard if they’re poor or don’t have a family like I did.” Walsh’s story begins in 1974, when she was arrested with two and a half grams of heroin, about $20 worth of drugs. She maintains that she was not guilty of selling drugs but was just taken advantage of for her age and naiveté by her co-defendant, a 22-year-old who ended up serving three-and-a-half years for the crime. “I wasn’t a drug dealer but I did use drugs. I was on a wrong path,” Walsh said. In her book, Walsh writes how she later found out the Saginaw, Mich., judges had made a pact that every drug offense would get 10-20 years—it was a kind of a “witch hunt,” she said. “I thought it was a misunderstanding,” said Walsh, who was so unaware that she would be doing time that she even had a ski trip planned the weekend of her court date. While she had been promised probation, she ended up in jail instead; an experience she said was horrible and frightening. “I could hear women being raped in their cells when it was quiet at night, even through the iron doors of my cell,” Walsh said, describing how fearful she was that she would be next. “The women were so vulnerable…It was a very incredibly painful experience to go through, I don’t think there’s anything I can say that really conveys that.” After serving about a year of her sentence, Walsh escaped with the help of her grandfather in 1976. She made up a social security number that was just a few numbers off her real one and took her middle name as her first and planned to go far, far away. She said she never imagined that running would be as easy as it was, thinking she would have to live in a cabin in the woods, but instead found herself in California. “The moment I came to San Diego, I opened my eyes and there was this glittery sky and pastel-colored ocean, “ said Walsh. “I just thought I was home. I had felt out of place in Michigan.”

Walsh kept her fugitive past a secret—in the beginning she told one of her boyfriends but he reacted so poorly that she decided she would never tell anyone again. She did not tell her husband Alan Walsh or her three children, but she did say that they later admitted suspecting she had some kind of secret, especially when people from a crime website began contacting her and her family, looking for her. The secret did weigh heavily on Walsh. “I had to just deal with it,” said Walsh, who said she attempted on a few occasions to turn herself in but the authorities she contacted weren’t interested. “Everyone has their cross to bear. I had this thing hanging over me and I couldn’t just continue to feel sorry for myself.” It came to a head in April 2008—she received a phone call that some tree trimmers had clipped one of her trees and wanted her to come outside her home. A tip to the crime website had led the authorities to Carmel Valley and when she stepped outside that morning she saw not a tree trimmer but a man flashing his badge. “He asked ‘Are you Susan LeFevre?’ and I went a little numb, I was cognizant that sh--, this is it. This has actually happened,” she said. She traveled from San Diego to the Michigan prison with her hands handcuffed at her waist for 24 hours a day for an entire week — she was only released once a day during the journey to use the restroom. She was facing 15 years, to finish her original 10-year sentence, plus additional time for the escape. Walsh’s second time in prison was much worse than the first time. She said the guards had been told to target her and she was the subject of constant harassment and abuse. “I feared for my life several times,” Walsh said. She was locked in one cell, in direct sunlight for days during an intense Michigan heat wave. “No air was coming in, I was sealed in between these concrete walls,” Walsh said. She would wet her clothing to try and keep cool, caus-

ing her skin to become raw. It became so hot that she collapsed, feeling as though she was having a heart attack or stroke. The guards wouldn’t do anything to help, just yell at her and call her names. “It was sadistic,” she said. The guards would write her up for offenses she did not commit, one month she received 11 violations for things like smoking. “I wasn’t yelling or angry, I was doing everything I could to follow the rules,” Walsh said. She was transferred to another prison after complaints about her treatment to the warden and even the governor. But the second prison wasn’t much better as she was placed in cells with extremely violent cellmates, “I think they wanted to put me in with someone who would kill me,” Walsh said. When one cellmate threatened to kill her, Walsh was taken to the segregation cells, “the dungeon cells” they were called. She was served dirty food and lost her appetite, losing 25 pounds and becoming horrified by her loose skin hanging off her bones. When edible food was slipped into the cell, guards sometimes placed pubic hairs on it so she could not eat it. One November day she was locked outside in the cold and sleet for an hour without a jacket. “I thought I was going to die from the cold, after thinking I was going to die from the cold at the other prison just 20 miles away,” Walsh said. Walsh said she felt awful but she did not cry. “I’m not a crier,” she said. “I didn’t let myself dwell on it. It was too much to deal with.” As many horrible experiences as she had, she also met some very exceptional people. She received letters every day from strangers, as well as her friends in Carmel Valley, who were supportive and “wonderful,” as was her family, including her husband. Her daughter set up a website for people to send messages to her mother. Walsh’s son assured her that “a zillion people adore you, Mom.” In January 2009, the Michigan Parole Board voted to release her and she was released on May 18 of that year. She had begun writing her book in prison but spent another two years working on it, writing for hours on end, filling thousands of pages and finally whittling it down this year. “People keep saying to me that my story is so unusual. But the story that I have is not unusual and that is what’s tragic. So many of the things that happened to me have happened to others,” said Walsh of the jail system she strongly feels needs to be reformed. Whether it was easier to escape her past or to finally confront it, Walsh isn’t sure. “I just did what I had to do. As awful as it was to hide, I had to look at the good side. I feel that’s what you always have to do in life,” Walsh said. “Before I jumped that fence I was such a weak person. My confidence was so beaten and I had always turned to drugs to deal with things. I realized I didn’t need to use drugs…I had to get self -control. I don’t have much control over anything but I do have control over me and that’s a great thing. The one thing this experience gave me is that I learned I can control myself and my actions.” Find “A Tale of Two Lives: The Susan LeFevre Fugitive Story” at createspace.com or amazon.com.

Despite significant recent growth in home care and alternative seniors’ residences, nearly one of every two women and one of four men over age 65 will enter a long-term care nursing facility (a.k.a. “nursing home”) at some time in their lives. Many nursing facility stays are short ones, to allow a senior to recuperate from an illness, injury, or surgery. But many other stays are extended: More than a third of all nursing facility stays last more than a year, and one in 10 lasts three years or more. There is a great range in the levels of care available in nursing facilities. Care ranges from intensive 24-hour care for the seriously ill to long-term personal assistance and health monitoring with very little active nursing (often called custodial care). Some facilities provide only one level of care, while others provide several levels at the same location. To learn how to find the best facility for your needs, come listen to Marcie Hanna, LCSW, speak at the April “Coffee and Conversation” on Thursday April 21, from 8-9 a.m., at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. Hanna is a licensed clinical social worker. She received her bachelor of arts in sociology and master of social work from San Diego State University. Additionally, Hanna earned an intergenerational specialist post-graduate certificate from the University of Pittsburgh.

The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club has announced a bold new feel to its annual tradition of showcasing to the public a select few estate gardens this year. “Rambling thorough the Ranch – Garden Tour and Open Air Market” is the newly adopted theme. The Saturday, May 7, event is cochaired by members Janet Lawless Christ and Barry Zarling. With a fun and fresh approach, new logo, and a very smart “tours by trolley” approach, the newly inspired volunteer group is taking on what hopes to be a great new annual tradition. “We realized that transportation from estate to estate was one of our toughest challenges. We had feedback that told us people did not want their experience in each garden to be restricted to the schedule of a big bus. Partnering with Old Town Trolley was an easy solution” said Helen DiZio, President of the Garden Club. “We are delighted that Janet and Barry are off and running and have formed an impressive volunteer team”, she continued. In order to promote an intimate experience, a limited number of guests will come and go to the estate gardens over a five-hour period at their leisure, hop on and hop off the open air trolleys, which will run a continuous loop of the properties. The tour will start and stop at the Garden Club clubhouse which is situated near the center of the village. “Each garden is only 5 minutes away from the next, so the ride will be fun and an enjoyable way to experience the natural botanical color of Rancho Santa Fe,” DiZio reflected. Ample street parking is available at the Garden Club as well at the nearby school.

This year there are six estate-sized home gardens for participants to experience. “We believe these six gardens epitomize the beautiful agrarian nature of Rancho Santa Fe. Live music played by local artists at each garden will round out the entire lyrical experience” said Janet Christ, event co-chair. The six gardens depict the lush plant and topographical diversity of Rancho Santa Fe; majestic vistas, canyon rock expanses, gentle rolling fields and winding roads. Because these are large estates, there is bit of walking; flat soled shoes are encouraged. Properties can only be accessed via the Trolley, which is included in the price of the ticket. There is no parking at the various garden properties. Also new this year is an Open Air Market on the grounds of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. The market is open to all visitors, whether or not they are going on the garden tour. Plans are to feature 40 home, garden, arts, food and craft vendors. Rhodes, Market Organizer. Tickets in advance may be purchased for $30 by sending a check to the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, PO Box 483 Rancho Santa Fe, CA, 92067, which will be available at “will call” on Saturday of the event. Advance purchase is highly encouraged, as the event will be strictly limited. Tickets purchased the day of the event are $40. The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club is located at 17025 Avenida de Acacias, at the corner of La Granada in the village of Rancho Santa Fe. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the market staying open until 4 p.m. Please go to www.ranchosantafegardentour.com for more information on ticketing, sponsorship and vendor information.

Pain management specialist to speak at the Senior Center BY TERRIE LITWIN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR According to the National Pain Foundation, pain among older adults is too often left undiagnosed and untreated. There are many reasons why older adults experience pain including degenerative joint disease and spine Terrie Litwin disease as well as leg and foot disorders. Compared to the rest of the population, older adults experience more chronic pain problems than other age groups. Researchers estimate that as high as 50 percent of this age group living independently and 75 percent living in nursing facilities suffer from persistent pain. While there are many treatment options to help individuals with persistent pain, health care pro-

viders are often unaware of how to best address the issue. There are many myths and misunderstandings about pain in older people. The National Pain Foundation would like to dispel some common myths about pain in older adults. One myth that persists is that pain is a normal part of aging. While persistent pain does become more common as we age, it is not normal to be in pain and it should not be accepted as normal. The presence of pain means there is something causing it. Another myth is that most persistent pain in older adults is caused by arthritis so the most sensible treatment is arthritis medication. In fact, most older adults have evidence of arthritis on x-rays but do not have pain. Pain thought to be caused by arthritis may, in fact, be due to muscular strain and irritation known as myofascial pain and may respond best to different modalities of treatment. No matter what the

underlying cause of persistent pain, it can have wide ranging affects on quality of life. Some of the more common difficulties include problems with bathing, dressing, and ambulation as well as lack of appetite and sleep disturbance. On Friday, April 22, at 2: p.m., Victor L. Kovner, M.D. FACP, will present valuable information on this important topic. Dr. Kovner is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and a diplomat of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. He recently joined the physician team at The Elizabeth Hospice. In addition to caring for hospice patients, Dr. Kovner is developing an outpatient palliative care practice in Poway and is working with Dr. Glenn Panzer, The Elizabeth Hospice’s Chief Medical Officer, to create a Palliative Care Service at Palomar Pomerado Health. Dr. Kovner is an advocate for patient access to pain management and end-of-life care.

His goal is to strengthen compassion and communication in our increasingly fragmented health care system. Reservations are not required to attend this program.

Waves ho! The ‘ultimate in seaside dining’ describes La Jolla’s famed Marine Room BY WILL PARSON prawling across your field of vision, The Marine Room’s ocean-facing windows provide a breathtaking panorama, especially at high tide when they face the waves head-on. To get an idea of how close you’ll be to the water, consider that in The Marine Room’s first year, 1941, and again in 1982, stormy tides crashed through these windows. The view would be worth getting a little wet for, but manager Matthew Caponi can attest that the current tempered glass windows are strong enough to avoid another breakthrough. Though he does admit, “You never know, it could always happen again.” The Marine Room’s Executive Chef Bernard Guillas and Chef de Cuisine Ron Oliver are gearing up for Marine Room’s summer hightide dinners, which begin in May. This year’s high-tide dinners will also mark Marine Room’s 70th anniversary, though special plans are not yet finalized. The high-tide dinners present Marine Room’s

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Click ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: The Marine Room’s Redwood Hill Goat Cheese Brulee global cuisine — rooted in French classics — against the unique tidal backdrop, waves crashing against the windows themselves. With those high tide dinners around the corner, Chef Bernard is keeping busy. He recently returned to his home country to receive the prestigious Master Chefs of France award, honoring just over 200 chefs worldwide in the past six decades. Soon after, he appeared on NBC’s “The Today Show,” preparing Monkfish Bretonne with hosts Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.

As of late, the Sesame Peppered Ruby Red Ahi Tuna, served with a white wine hibiscus sauce and black Tai rice, has been a popular dish. Chef Bernard’s crab cakes, with ingredients that vary, are a favorite appetizer. Every night of the week you can get a three-course meal from the “Taste of the Season” menu, with an optional wine pairing and featuring main courses like Maine Diver Scallops and Brandt Beef Short Ribs. Mondays are lobster nights, when you can choose either the Maine Lobster Bisque, served with golden enoki, pancetta and yuzu cream, or the Cypress Grove Purple Haze Goat Cheese Brûlée — yes, that’s goat cheese baked crème brûlée style — for your first stop on the three-course journey. Then you can move on to lobster tail prepared in one of three ways: Pistachio Butter Basted, Sugar Ranch Dill Pollen Spiced, or Lilikoi Kalbi Glazed. With Chef Bernard’s touch, the lobsters definitely seem more at home on your plate than in the surf, crashing just yards away!

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Elder abuse on the rise in San Diego County Deputy District Attorney Greenwood, head of the elder abuse prosecution unit in San Diego County, has never been busier. He credits the testimony on March 2 of 90-year-old actor Mickey Rooney. “Within two days of Mickey Rooney testifying before Congress on March 2, my phone was ringing,” Greenwood said to a crowd of investigators, attorneys, and elder care professionals attending an educational seminar at Somerford Place Alzheimer’s Assisted Living. The seminar was sponsored by Somerford Place and At Home Care Solutions, owned by RSF resident Lauren Reynolds. Rooney’s testimony about being deprived of food and medicine, allegedly by his step-children, brought elder abuse into the national spotlight, Greenwood said, illustrating that it’s a growing national problem. “You are going to see many more people who are potential victims,” Greenwood explained, based on demographics. In San Diego County, about 16 percent of the population is over 65, roughly half a million people. “The problem is that people are being looted in San Diego County every day,” he said. He explained that jewelry is the number one item being stolen from seniors in San Diego. One recent case involved a housecleaner/caregiver in Poway. When a homeowner reported the jewelry missing, sheriff deputies installed a video camera in the bedroom and actually caught the housekeeper on tape taking items from a drawer. “Turned out that housekeeper worked for 12 other people,” Greenwood said, “and 9 of the 12 had jewelry missing.” His advice is that seniors keep an inventory of jewelry including pictures. Valuables should be kept in a locked drawer or safe. And he said there is a pattern for whom is doing the stealing. “The #1 culprit is a convicted felon turned caregiver,” he explained. There is no law requiring background checks on caregivers and some unscrupulous agencies hire them based only on “self-reporting” of any past criminal history. (At Home Care Solutions, a fully certified home care agency, runs local, state and federal background checks on all of their employees.) Secondly, Greenwood said, adult sons who are lazy, unemployed and addicted to drugs or alcohol tend to be the thieves, followed by trades-

men who are in the home to provide a service. “In one case, a carpet cleaner used his high powered hose to actually vacuum the jewelry out of the drawer and into his van,” Greenwood said. The criminals prey on confusion and fear. One local man called up an elderly woman, claimed to be her grandson and convinced her that he needed $100,000 to be wired to China. The fake grandson told the woman he desperately needed the money for a legal settlement. Greenwood blamed the bank for allowing the suspect transaction to go through. There is an Adult Protective Services hotline to

call for those who suspect elder abuse, 1-800-5102020. However, Greenwood admitted the strapped state budget has left the hotline understaffed and the wait can be up to an hour. He hopes the state legislature will soon pass a pending bill that would allow reports of elder abuse to be made online.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

10 QUESTIONS

Mike Stevens fights lung cancer with a battle plan for all At age 43, local resident Mike Stevens was a healthy non-smoker with a wife and two children. He never thought he’d have lung cancer. When he was diagnosed in 2005, Stevens had owned La Jolla Photo & Imaging for 23 years. He sold the business to undergo chemo treatments and spend his time raising public awareness and research funds to fight lung cancer. Six years later, after a dozen rounds Mike Stevens of chemotherapy, Stevens is one of the 3 to 5 percent of people who survive stage IV lung cancer. In 2009, Stevens and three other San Diego lung cancer survivors started the San Diego Breath of Hope Cancer Walk. This year Stevens will lead the third annual walk with co-chair Jane Marks. They invite other residents to join the walk at 9 a.m. Sunday, May 1 at Cancer Survivors Park on Harbor Island. Preregistration at sandiegobreathofhope.org is $30; onsite $35; kids $15. Participants will receive a T-shirt and ticket to the June 4 Padres Game. The walk is in association with the Lung Cancer Alliance (LCA), a na-

tional nonprofit. What brought you to this area? I came here in 1978 as a freshman at UCSD. I loved diving and wanted to go into marine biology. I met my wife at UCSD and somehow wound up in the photography field where I bought La Jolla One Hour Photo when I was 23. What makes this area special to you? I always loved the natural beauty of San Diego. Having graduated from high school in the L.A. area, it was great to live in a place with no traffic and natural beauty. The days of no traffic are long gone. When I was in the photo business, I got to see many historical pictures of San Diego. I have always enjoyed learning about that history. One of my favorite times was whenever Ellen Revelle would come into my shop and tell me stories of times gone by. It was great to hear about the history from someone who was there. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you improve in the area? It would be great to stop the bickering about issues that mean so little in the overall picture. Sometimes I have to laugh at the energy that is put into these issues when that same energy and money could be used to improve people’s lives and help those in need. Who or what inspires you? I have been battling stage IV lung cancer for almost six years now. It is a disease for which most people don’t survive the first year. I often ask why I’m still here. Many friends have told

me that I have a purpose. The day after I was diagnosed, a survivor (who I did not know all that well) sat down with my wife and I and explained what to expect and what questions we should be asking the doctor. For two people scared to death, these were the first positive words we could focus on. This person’s actions have inspired me to pay it forward to as many people as I can. Probably because of that one kind person, I became a cancer advocate and the California chair for the Lung Cancer Alliance. The people I meet and help are truly the most amazing people in the world. No matter how bad I might feel or how bad I think I have it, it could be worse. I’m blessed that I have not had to endure what some people have. Somehow cancer patients get though each day, often with a smile. Anyone and everyone battling cancer inspires me. The stories of physical, emotional and financial suffering are heartbreaking, yet everyone I’ve met finds a way to keep moving forward.

invite President Obama. It would be interesting to explain health care to him from a different perspective. At this dinner, I would dispel the myths and present the facts about lung cancer. Facts like 2/3 of those who get the disease don’t currently smoke; that 1 out of 3 people dying of cancer, die of lung cancer; and that lung cancer (not breast cancer) is the No. 1 cancer killer of women, killing twice as many women each year as breast cancer. I would also like them to understand the politics behind cancer research … how lung cancer only receives about 1/20th of the dollars per death that breast cancer receives.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I have a habit of talking about lung cancer and trying to educate as many people as possible when I am in social situations. Everyone thinks it is a smokers’ disease, and “smokers did it to themselves,” so people somehow deserve their lung cancer. I would want to sit down with the editors-inchief of the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post, and from the broadcast side, the heads of ABC, CBS and NBC to set the story straight. Lastly, I would want to

What is your most-prized possession? My life, my family and my friends who have supported me and help me stay on this side of the dirt.

Tell us about what you are reading. I have started a couple of books a few times and keep putting them down, unfinished. You have to stay in one place to finish a book, and I am too busy enjoying life to be able to do that right now. There are still many things I have not done that I need to do while I am still here.

What do you do for fun? I love the outdoors. There are many things that I cannot do anymore since I lost part of a lung — scuba diving being just one of those. Steep hikes are another. I enjoy hunting and fishing. I try to explain to people that it is all about the experience of being out there, about the amazing things you see.

I use to fish offshore a lot and thought it was so sad looking back at the shore at the millions of San Diegans who were so close, yet never saw their city from the water. I have watched whales just yards away from me rise up and grab a mouthful of krill. I have had bobcats, turkeys and deer walk just feet away from me and never know that I am there. Too many of us go through life and miss the simple wonders that are all around us. Describe your greatest accomplishment. I enjoyed my job at La Jolla Photo & Imaging, but no job is as rewarding as what I do now — helping people who are truly in need. It’s great being able to meet with someone who feels helpless and give him or her hope by encouraging him or her with my story of survival. If I can do this and then they later call me up and tell me that I have inspired them to live, there is no better reward. I feel that is the purpose of why I must still be here. What is your philosophy of life? Lung cancer is both the worst and best thing that has ever happened to me. I try to explain to others that most people really don’t enjoy life the way they should. It’s sad that it often takes a life-threatening disease to wake a person up to what is around them. I know that lung cancer will probably take me one day. That’s OK if I can have as much fun as possible between now and then. It is also great that my wife and many of my friends understand this and encourage me.

The battle against breast cancer: RSF’s Lili Myers’ story continues BY LILI HALMOSMYERS On March 30, I celebrated my 5th anniversary of survivorship and continue to celebrate each day, surrounded by loving family and friends while the big gorilla hiding in my closet continues to be the word ‘recurrence.’ When the gorilla in the closet starts shaking my world, I hold on to the wise words of a very dear friend of mine who said to me: “And five years will become 10 ... and on with life!” Every year after completing the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk, our team Babes4Boobs decide, severally and jointly, that we won’t be doing the walk again and that maybe we will be involved in a more passive role, perhaps volunteering to assist the walkers. After the 2010-Walk, my son Alex said he wanted to do the walk with me in 2011. He was indeed serious. Therefore, the event will be even more special to me this year. This will be my 6th walk and I am walking not only with my team of the past five years, but also will be walking alongside my son Alex. We will laugh and cry together for 60 miles. Or maybe, he will laugh and I will be doing all the crying -tears of joy as I find myself once again able to cross the finish line, this time holding my son’s hand! It is at times like this, when I sit in complete silence, looking at the many pictures from last year’s walk, that I cry quietly. I am reminded of so many special moments from last year’s walk. My meeting the 80-year-old woman dressed as a clown who was cheering us on and who painted a pink breast cancer ribbon on my face. She hugged me, told me she too was a survivor, and her eyes filled with tears while her face filled with hope for all survivors. Then there was the emotional moment when I met a 33-yearold survivor who was very pregnant at the time

(after finishing her chemo treatment) yet managed to do the entire walk, and I couldn’t stop hugging her and telling her how incredibly beautiful she was. There also was that heart wrenching moment at closing ceremonies. As we were dancing on the Survivors’ Circle Stage, a young two-year survivor I had gotten to know during the walk (she too had been honored in “Survivors’ Circle) came up to us with the ashes of her sister who she had lost to breast cancer three years ago, and she asked if Ann (the other survivor in my team) and I would dance with her and her sister. She then proceeded to release the ashes on the stage as the three of us continued dancing and crying together. So it is not a surprise that Alex and I have agreed to raise at least $2,300 each, in donations, and thus we need your help. You may support us and donate online by going to http://www.the3day.org, click on ‘donate to a Participant’ and type in ‘Lili Myers’ or ‘Alex Myers’. It will take you to our respective pages where you can click on Donate. Your donation is tax deductible. You might consider splitting your donation between the two of us. Remember that no amount is too small and that every single dollar is relevant. Please keep in mind how far we will be walking -- and how hard we have to train. Interestingly enough, the training does not get easier every year, I just get older! I am one of the very fortunate survivors and that’s why Alex and I are walking so far and doing something bold about breast cancer. As my lovely daughter said, “Mom, I don’t think there could be a 3Day Walk in San Diego that you won’t be in.” Through my and Alex’s participation in this event, I know we are making a personal impact on the breast cancer movement. I hope that you will share this incredible adventure with us once again. Thank you in advance for your generosity... “and on with life!”

Local musician seeks video, photos of cancer survivors and those who have lost someone to the disease for music project Local musician Michael Tiernan is planning to use a music video to help young adults affected by cancer and is seeking video footage and photos from both cancer survivors and those who have passed on to use in new music video. “Man in white walks in the room He says to have a seat. “I wish I had good news for you.” He says words I can’t believe When I feel so Strong. I feel so Strong.” So start the lyrics to Tiernan’s newly released song, “Strong” (from the album “L.A. Can Wait”). Written for and about his brother Joe, who passed away last summer from a rare form of Sarcoma, the song has elicited a powerful reaction from people who have battled cancer or who have lost someone to the disease. A cancer survivor himself (testicular cancer at age 16), Tiernan has always used his music as a vehicle to help others going through their own battles with disease. Tiernan is currently seeking the help of both his listeners and the general public to provide the content for the music video itself, and is asking them to submit both videos and still images of both cancer survivors and those who have passed on from the disease. Says Tiernan, “Strength happens everywhere, and shines forth when people come together in the midst of their own weakness and hurt. I’m looking for video footage and still shot photos of those Strong ones among us ages 16 - 50 undergoing different stages of their battle with cancer - the good, the bad, the inspiring, and the heart-wrenching. I’m looking for images and videos of people’s Strength as they walk their path. I’m thinking of everything, from people like my friend

Julie, who ran a marathon after beating cancer for the third time; or my friend Eric who survived brain cancer and is inspiring others through his advocacy and writings; or the friend I never met, Danny Riley, who’s music still reverberates today as a testimony to his strength as he battled brain cancer; I’m looking for images of vigils, memorials, hospital rooms, treatment time, big smiles, Michael Tiernan long faces, families, friends, hugs, tears — everything.” Tiernan hopes to spread the video virally, as well as offer the video to different cancer organizations around the world. He will also use it to spearhead a future effort of his to provide private music concerts to cancer patients undergoing treatment and their families. People desiring to submit content to Tiernan for consideration of use in the music video can upload and share videos to the Project Strong Youtube page at www.youtube.com/projectstrong or by contacting Michael and his crew at projectstrong@tiernantunes.com. Photos can be sent directly via email. More information can be found at www.tiernantunes.com/projectstrong and www.youtube.com/projectstrong.

RSF residents join Pacific Ridge School as it breaks ground on new Athletic Center Pacific Ridge School, a non-profit, independent school in Carlsbad, has reached a new milestone in its plans for campus expansion: the groundbreaking of its Athletic Center. The school, which opened in 2007 and includes grades 7-12, reached this goal early thanks to the tremendous success of phase one of its “Breaking New Ground Campaign” and the early completion of the high school building last September. The 35,236 sq. foot Athletic Center will be one of the largest and most state-ofthe-art high school athletic centers in the county. Construction will begin in April and will include three regulation courts, a training room, dance/yoga studio, stateof-the-art weight and conditioning room, coaches’ offices, locker rooms and showers, kitchenette for concessions, bleachers capable of seating 500 fans, and an outdoor viewing deck of the Astroturf field. The lobby will also act as a Hall of Fame, showcasing trophies for athletic, academic, and arts achievements. Most importantly, the facility will give Pacific Ridge a “home” for athletics, according to Athletic Director Darren Lawlor. “More than 80 percent of Pacific Ridge students play one or more sports, which is a real tribute to the Pacific Ridge School community, including our coaches, faculty, staff, parents, and supporters.” Rick Sapp, board chair for Pacific Ridge School and a Rancho Santa Fe resident, added, “The Pacific Ridge School community has been working diligently since the opening of its High School building in August 2010 to finalize the design and approvals for the new state-of-the-art Athletic Center. The board of trustees is pleased to approve the launch of the construction phase, as this facility will support the high participation of students in Pacific Ridge athletic programs. The Athletic Center is a bold step forward in supporting the mission of developing well-rounded students prepared for the future.” To learn more about Pacific Ridge School, visit www.pacificridge.org.

North Coast Rep rolls out comedy hit â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;King Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Tom Dudzick is a busy playwright. His trilogy about family life rings true with audiences, and includes humorous scenarios and hearttugging situations that keep it on theater marquees across the country. In 2009, North Coast Repertory Theatre staged his first installment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the Tavern.â&#x20AC;? The second, â&#x20AC;&#x153;King Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Moon,â&#x20AC;? has its west coast premiere at NCRT beginning April 13. (Part three, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Mass at St. Casimirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? will hopefully come to NCRT sometime down the line.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the Tavern,â&#x20AC;? based on Dudzickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own upbringing, centers around the Pazinski family of five in the 1950s who live above a tavern but maintain their Catholic family values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;King Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Moon,â&#x20AC;? is set 10 years later in the chaotic 1960s when life in America has changed and the family must deal with weighty issues like divorce, remarriage, war and draft-evasion. Dubbed by many theater critics as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Catholic Neil

If you go What: â&#x20AC;&#x153;King Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Moon,â&#x20AC;? sequel to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the Tavernâ&#x20AC;?

Dudzick and his plays have broken box office records across the Midwest. Matt Thompson, a frequent artist at NCRT both as an actor and director, directs â&#x20AC;&#x153;King Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Moon.â&#x20AC;? He played the father in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the Tavernâ&#x20AC;? and NCRT Artistic Director David Ellenstein said he thought Thompson would be perfect to direct â&#x20AC;&#x153;part two.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I understood the family dynamics and the characters, David thought that made sense, so I agreed,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. The cast includes Kandis

Chappell (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collected Storiesâ&#x20AC;?) as Ellen, Julian Conrad (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twelfth Nightâ&#x20AC;?) as Georgie, Kevin Koppman-Gue (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The History Boysâ&#x20AC;?) as Rudy, Ross Hellwig (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rainmakerâ&#x20AC;?) as Eddie, John Herzog (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tempestâ&#x20AC;?) as Walter, Sunny Smith (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smokey Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;?) as Maureen, and Krysten Hafso (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rebelsâ&#x20AC;?) as Annie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kandis, as the mother of the family, is a seasoned actor who has performed all over San Diego and is a joy to work with,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She and John (the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time employee) get along well together. Kevin,

who has been doing a lot of work, is only 20 years old and played the boy in the Repâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent play â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Drawer Boy.â&#x20AC;? And we have some new actors to the Rep, like my wife Sunny who plays Eddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife. She does a great job. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve directed each other before, and we work well together. Georgie is back as a 22-year-old man and Conrad plays him well.â&#x20AC;? Because of the serious issues facing the characters, parents might want to leave kids ages 12 and under at home. One of those issues is the Vietnam War. A topic, Thompson said, audiences might relate to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good parallel here because of the war weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved in right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play touches on some of the horrors of war, and hopefully, the audience will be able to respond to that. This play was written in 1998, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art imitating life. It really gets to the salt of the Earth â&#x20AC;Ś who humanity really is. You look at these characters on stage and you recognize yourself or somebody you know.â&#x20AC;?

The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families

How to Fall Out of Love (Part One) By Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom A male friend of mine dated the love of his life for four years and out of the blue she stopped returning his calls. The same thing happened to me with a guy that I dated for six months. We both called, emailed, texted them without hearing back. We both asked them over and over to tell us why they will not call us Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom back, text, etc. with no responding on their part. These are intelligent people 55-65. Both cases we adore these people. We had no arguments. Both of us can be a little pushy on wanting to see them and have calls and texts during the day. We both asked for more closeness;

maybe we asked for too much. Why do people do that? Just shut people out without talking. How can this be fixed? The silent treatment is so hard for us. What type of personality are we dealing with? We both expressed to them how much we care, and are in the dark. — Carrying the Torch Dear Carrying We can all relate to being hurt in love. Surprisingly, ending a relationship abruptly by not calling someone back is more common than you might think. Why would a boyfriend or girlfriend just not call back? There are more than a few possible reasons. The one that most people in your situation often wish for is that something tragic has happened and the person is unable to call (like maybe they’ve been kidnapped and are being held hostage) ; the next part of that fantasy is that they are hoping that you will be on the case, find them, and rescue them. But more likely, the person has been dropping hints that they want out and you just haven’t wanted to hear it. In other cases, a person has been thinking about leaving for a while without dialing you into the discussion in their head. Then they gather their courage and blurt it out, hoping for an easy exit. Or they just don’t call back. Some people like to avoid negative confrontations at any cost. You said that you are pushy- maybe he feared that you wouldn’t take no for an answer so he figured if he treated you badly, you’d want to break up with him. And some people don’t always know why they behave the way that they do. They lack insight into what truly motivates their behavior. They can’t explain what they don’t understand so they get a feeling, and act on it regardless of how it affects others. By making his unavailability crystal clear, run, don’t walk in the opposite direction Tips on How to Fall Out of Love: 1) When you find yourself missing him or her and reminiscing about your first kiss or your favorite date, stop yourself and switch gears. Instead of thinking about his best qualities and your fondest moments together, force yourself to think of his worst faults (no body is perfect) and some of your worst moments together. 2) Think about the qualities that you want in a partner that he didn’t have and write them down. 3) When you feel sad or are tempted to contact him again, change your focus to something pleasurable, like the way the sun feels on your skin, the sound of the birds in the trees, or making plans with a fun friend. 4) Remove any reminders of them in your environment; 5) Spend time with people who share your interests; 6) Don’t be surprised or give it too much meaning if you find that your feelings for him do not completely fade. Use any positive feelings that remain to have compassion for him and wish him well – if this is how he handles relationships, it doesn’t bode well for his future.

Your Family Matters: Teen drivers BY DR. KEITH KANNER It is not too surprising that a recent study was released indicating that the number one cause of deaths in the teenage population is driving-related accidents. These statistics pertain to both the drivers and childpassengers in cars driven by children between the ages of 15 and 18. The numbers further suggest that the younger the driver, the higher the danger, and once through the adolescent years, the statistics decline and safety is greater for all parties involved. Causes listed for the deaths included: alcohol, text messaging, not wearing seat belts, distraction, racing at high speeds, just to name a few. Although the study made some very important suggestions to parents about how to better educate their children and provide greater safety (see Figure 1), it is also important for parents to understand from a developmental point of view, why giving an adolescent too much responsibility can backfire in certain circumstances. This is not to say that some teenagers demonstrate the maturity to drive safely, but making the assumption purely on the basis of passing a driving test that they are mature-enough to take care of themselves and others is a risky leap. Adolescents are in a stage of developmental flux until they pass into Young Adulthood. In fact, much of the common rebellion that the adolescent demonstrates stems from two basic sources: wishes to be independent and different from their parents; and second, an increase in drives such as aggression and sexuality. These two influences then place stress on the adolescent’s changing conscience and at times causes poor judgment and acting out. In some cases, it is worse than in others, but all teenagers have their ups and downs. The advent of a drivers license then becomes very exciting to them and ignites all of these feelings and if the adolescent is not self-responsible enough, a crisis can occur. Therefore, aside from sitting down with your child and reviewing the external realities of driving, as listed in Figure 1, parents also need to make their own assessment as to whether or not their child is mature-

enough to handle driving a car. This is determined by the parent or parents reviewing to themselves an overview about their own child which includes: 1. Are they doing well in school? 2. How is their overall sense of judgment? 3. How do they manage their stress? 4. Are they using drugs and alcohol? 5. What are their friendships like? 6. How do they respond to authority? 7. Are they planning ahead for their future? 8. Do they see driving as a privilege? If the answers to such questions are positive, then you may have an adolescent who is responsible-enough to drive a car safely. However, if the answers to these questions are negative, you may want to work with them to attain these criteria before you let them out on the streets. It is also important to review the suggestions made in Figure 1 as well and consider putting together a “Driving Contract” which includes the requirements you have determined to allow them to use a car. These contracts are also a nice way to help the adolescents continue to take responsibility for themselves which in the long run will increase both their selfesteem and their own safety as well as those of others.

Out of the batch were two Best Buys: Ajax and Kirkland Signature (CostCo). Both cost six cents per ounce.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

World longboard champion, stays true to who she is BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer It’s not every day that a world champion tops off your coffee, but if you’re eating breakfast at Naked Café in Solana Beach, it’s a likely scenario. That is where you’ll find reigning women’s world longboard champion Cori Schumacher waiting tables. Though she has three titles under her belt — the only female longboarder to hold that distinction — Schumacher does not have any sponsorships and, in fact, she does not want any. She chooses to pay her bills working a nine-to-five because this independence gives her the freedom to publicly speak her mind, and she’s got a lot to say. Schumacher is boycot-

ting the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Longboard Tour this year because one of the events is taking place on Hainan Island in China, a country infamous for human rights violations. This is the first year that ASP has added a second event to the competition, something the women in this industry have been pushing toward for years, making the decision to boycott all the more difficult, Schumacher said. “I felt like I had two choices: I could go with my reservations and wear a ‘Free Tibet’ shirt, or something trite like that. Or, I could stand up for what I believe in and hopefully call more attention to these issues through a boycott.” Her strategy seems to be working. Schumacher’s boy-

cott has got people in the surfing world talking and she hopes it’s also got them thinking. “Every event has been in a place with a surf culture, so why China?” The answer, she said, is because there’s a huge push within the surf industry to move production to China, even if it means doing business in a country with a history of putting profit above its workers. “I’m not saying the surf industry shouldn’t go into China, but go in with your eyes open. There needs to be more transparency in the production line and supply chain. The surf industry is a $7.2 billion industry. It has the ability to change some precedents in China.” For example, she said

Reigning world champion Cori Schumacher is boycotting this year’s ASP Longboard Tour. She is the first professional surfer to boycott a major event since 1985 when several professional surfers abstained from an event in South Africa to protest apartheid.

American companies could work with non-government organizations in China, which make unannounced visits to factories to ensure human rights violations are not happening. Schumacher is also using her boycott as a means to spotlight some other human rights violations happening in China, such as the government’s extreme censorship of its people and its one-child policy, which she said has been linked to a spike in infanticide, forced sterilization, forced abortion and even sex slavery. “This isn’t about me or any title, this is about something much bigger,” said Schumacher, visibly choked up, the passion and sincerity in her voice almost palpable. “Back in 2001, I had won my first world title, something nobody in my peer group had done. That same year I sat and watched the 9-11 attacks feeling totally helpless. No matter how many trophies and titles I had, I still had this feeling of not being able to change anything in my world.” That moment would prove to plant a seed of activism that has led Schumacher to this boycott today. After the 9-11 attacks, she joined the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice to oppose the war in Iraq. Schumacher,

who married her longtime partner Maria Cerda in 2008, has also been a longtime advocate for gay rights, especially within the surfing world, which she describes as “very homophobic” and “misogynistic.” Schumacher said encountering homophobia and mysogyny when she was 18 and first became a professional shortboarder was “like having your life-long dream shatter before your eyes.” And for Schumacher, professional surfing was quite literally her life-long dream. She was born into surfing. Her mother Jeannette Prince was a professional surfer who rode the waves until she was eight months pregnant. Once Schumacher was born, her father Craig Schumacher had her in the water before she could walk. The family spent winters surfing Cardiff and summers surfing San Onofre. Schumacher received her first surfboard at 5, which she recalls was a blue and yellow single-fin soft board. When Schumacher turned 12, she received a board shaped by Donald Takayama, who still shapes her boards today. While some kids grew up idolizing Michael Jordan and Kristi Yamaguchi, Schumacher was raised looking up to surfers like the late Rell Sunn, Solana Beach’s Linda Benson and, of course, her mother.

No doubt, surfing was one of Schumacher’s first loves — but at 18 when she entered the professional realm, she quickly fell out of love with the sport. “I decided that I did not want to be part of an environment were women were devalued, so I walked away. It was heartbreaking. I totally stopped surfing. It was that bad.” It was at the urging of her mother that she got back into the water, and eventually the professional realm. Now that she’s returned, she hopes to bring a wave of change to the world of professional women’s longboarding, which is at the bottom of surfing’s hierarchy because it is newer than shortboarding. The problem, she said, is that female longboarders are being subjected to an unfair onesize-fits-all approach when it comes to judging the sport. “Look at gymnastics, women don’t use the rings or pummel horse, and men have different floor exercises,” she said. “I don’t think women should be expected to mimic men.” That’s especially true of longboarding, which she said is a much more feminine way of surfing than shortboarding. “Shortboarding has See LONGBOARD, page B31

The Grauer School, located at 1500 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas, is offering a diverse Summer School curriculum and a wide variety of Summer Camp options beginning June 20-July 29. Open to all students, the Grauer School offers week-long enrichment camps and fully accredited, UC approved summer school classes.

Classes are teacher-lead with a defined pace of completion. A full semester is condensed into three weeks, therefore demanding personal motivation and independent work capabilities on behalf of the student in order to successfully complete each course. According to Clayton Payne, summer school principal and independent studies director, “Selecting the appropriate summer school program for your child can make the difference in the overall academic selection process when your child applies for entrance into a college or university of their choice. We’re able to offer UC approved classes that will not only serve to educate the students enrolled in our classes but also expose them to the in-depth one-on-one attention that only the Grauer School can offer. College admissions counselors consistently remind us that this is often an integral part of their admissions selections process. Moreover, we offer a wide variety of activities from which to select, therefore providing benefit to all students, regardless of the path they’ve chosen to pursue. As long as they are willing to commit at least one to three hours of homework daily for UC accredited courses, they will successfully graduate from our summer program.” The Grauer School is a UNESCO associated, independent grades 6 –12 college preparatory school accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is renowned for its expeditionary learning, which has enabled Grauer to provide the most balanced pathway to top colleges available in our region.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Baseball: Santa Fe Christian extended its winning streak to eight games in dramatic fashion, as the Eagles rallied from a threerun deficit in their last at-bat in a 5-4 nonleague win against Mater Dei on April 8 that went eight innings. The win followed a 4-2 victory over Canyon Crest Academy on April 4. The Eagles trailed 4-1 going into the bottom of the seventh, when they scored three runs to send the game into extra innings. Barrett Floyd led the Eagles offensively, going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Josh Estill, Graham Gomez and Jackson Balla each contributed two hits, and Bobby Zarubin homered. Zarubin struck out six batters in three shutout innings of relief for the win. Estill had two hits including a triple and two RBI to lead the Eagles in the CCA game. Nolan Gannon struck out 14 batters and allowed no walks in six innings of two-hit ball in which he allowed one unearned run. The Eagles improved their overall record for the season to 9-3. ***** Reliable pitching helped Cathedral Catholic win 9 of its first 11 nonleague games to start the season. The Dons pitching seems to have only gotten better after recording shutouts in their first two Eastern League games against La Jolla. The Dons beat La Jolla 7-0 on April 5 and then 6-0 two days later. Daniel Camarena struck out 14 batters and allowed no walks in a complete game one-hitter to lead the Dons in the first game. In the second game, Steven Gonsalves tossed a complete game three-hitter. He struck out 11 batters and allowed three walks. Brandon Nelos and Matt Boermeester each had two hits to lead the Dons offensively in the first game. Jesse Kay was 2-for-2 with two doubles and Tommy Valles homered and drove in two runs to lead the Dons in the second game. Dons pitchers have shut-out five of their last six opponents, and have allowed just 11runs over their last 11 games. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 11-2.

After winning 11 of its first 12 games to start the season, Torrey Pines has cooled off, as the Falcons were swept by perennial power Rancho Bernardo in a Palomar League opening three-game series. A 12-0 loss to Rancho Bernardo on April 5 snapped the Falcons six-game winning streak. ***** The Falcons lost 7-6 on April 7, and then 5-1 in the April 9 series finale. Garrett Stubbs went 2-for-4 with two doubles and Michael Mullin, and Morgan Oliver each added two hits for Torrey Pines in the April 7 game, when the Falcons squandered a 6-0 lead after two innings. The Falcons’ overall record for the season fell to 11-4. San Diego Jewish Academy defeated Calvin Christian 10-5 in a Coastal League North game on April 6, but the Lions didn’t get much time to celebrate, losing to Escondido

Charter 15-0 the next day. Ricky Pamensky led the Lions offensively in the Calvin Christian game, going 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI, and Jonathan LaZare had two hits including a triple and drove in four runs. The Lions fell to 1-1 in league and 6-3 overall for the season. Softball: Torrey Pines overcame a two-run deficit in its last at-bat as the Falcons opened Palomar League play with a dramatic 5-4 victory over Ramona on April 7. Mary Lee led the Falcons offensively, going 2-for-2 with a double and two runs scored, and Emma Wong and Zeyna Gilliam each contributed two hits. The Falcons improved their overall record for the season to 16-4-1. ***** Canyon Crest Academy defeated Mountain Empire 4-0 in a Valley League opener for both teams on April 6. Brittney Meredith and Ann Narukawa combined on a five-hit shutout to lead the Ravens. Meredith, who started and got the win, struck out four batters and allowed two hits and no walks in four innings. Narukawa struck out four batters and allowed three hits and one walk in three innings. Alison Delnegro and Natalie Toothacre each had one hit and one RBI to lead the Ravens offensively. The Ravens improved their overall record for the season to 4-7. ***** Cathedral Catholic trounced Our Lady of the Peace 18-1 in a nonleague game on April 4 mercy-ruled after five innings. Courtney Rivera and Jenna Shine combined on a nohitter to lead the Dons. Rivera, who started, struck out five batters and allowed no walks in four innings, but she hit a batter in the first who eventually came around to score on an error for an unearned run. Shine struck out the side in the fifth. Riley Price had four hits including a triple and a homer and drove in four runs and Beth Smetana had three hits including two doubles and four RBI to lead the Dons offensively. Milan Botte had three hits including a home run, and Jazlyn Hallare and Dominique Madruga each added two hits.

CCA Swim and Dive Team on winning streak Canyon Crest Academy’s Swim and Dive Team won their last two meets. The first was on March 25 at Escondido High School, and the second was on April 1 at Del Norte High School. During the Escondido meet, Annabel Tomes broke the CCA school record in the 500 Free with a time of 5:09.19. At the Del Norte meet, a host of personal records for the 2011 season were set. Among them, Tiffany Chau, Alex Chen, Nate Rudolph, Eric Schade, and Katie Twyman in the 200 IM; Robert Burklund, Tanner Lack, Mac Lerum, and Josh Trissel in the 50 Free; Casey Crocamo and Dillon Patel in the 100 Free; Caitlin McCallum, Dion Mohager, and Derek Yen in the 200 Free; Eric Arnett, Charlie Doherty, and Eric Schade in the 500 Free; Tiffany Chau, Charlie Doherty, and Kevin Li in the 100 Fly; Alex Chen, Carly Rasmussen, Naomi Stapleton, and Josh Trissel in the 100 Breast; and Kyle Grozen in the 100 Back. In addition to all the individual personal bests smashed by CCA athletes during the Del Norte meet, even more personal records were established during relay competition. Among the record-setting teams were Jerry Guess, Kyle Grozen, Eric Schade, and Josh Trissel in the Boys Varsity 200 Medley Relay; Charlie Doherty, Tanner Lack, Mac Lerum, and Nicholas McGhee in the Boys Junior Varsity 200 Medley Relay; Matthew Briscoe, Taylor Dean, Kevin Li, and Josh Trissel in the Boys Varsity 200 Free Relay; and Casey Crocamo, Charlie Doherty, Mattias Henning, and Dion Mohager

Carly Rasmussen, varsity swim in the Boys Junior Varsity 400 Free Relay. Also notable in CCA Swim and Dive Team news is the distribution of weekly awards to student-athletes by head coach Nico Kintz in recognition of outstanding performance at both practice and meets. Since the season began late February, recipients have included Carly Rasmussen and Josh Trissel for the week of February 28; Tiffany Chau and Kevin Li for the week of March 7; Matthew Briscoe, Alex Chen, Taylor Patterson, and Ariel Vacheron (dive) for the week of March 14; and Caiti McCallum, Charlie Doherty (JV), and David Twyman for the week of March 21

TPHS lacrosse team enjoys afternoon with foster children On April 9, the Torrey Pines High School lacrosse team had an amazing Saturday afternoon with 36 foster children at the New Alternatives Herrick Children’s Center in El Cajon.

Dr. He Said, She said: Codependency vs. true loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;How to tell them apart By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. (Dr. He) and Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lissa Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) This might not be a new topic for our readers, but it is one that we encounter every day in working with couples that we feel

could use some clarification. We see that what many couples call true love is really a fear-based, mistrustful, and indirect way of dealing with each other that we call codependency. What defines codependence or codependency is the way that: 1) we place the needs of others first to the exclusion of our own; 2) our self-esteem is dependent on gaining the approval of others; 3) we worry excessively about how others may respond to our feelings, so we walk on eggshells or tiptoe around each other; and 4) how all of this makes it very difficult for us to feel like we can be free to be ourselves in relationship.

your fear of your partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction. If so, this means that you cannot trust that your opinion will be valued in some way by your partner if you say what is true for you. Think about what that says about your relationship. Nor do we condone spewing out your feelings without some forethought or consideration about your delivery. Being aggressive or abusive with your feelings is just as unhealthy as walking on eggshells or tiptoeing around somebody. Being forthright and â&#x20AC;&#x153;adultâ&#x20AC;? means expressing yourself directly, as in â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel ______â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you do this particular thing, it makes me feel _____â&#x20AC;?. No one has the right to criticize you for the way you feel. 2) Ask yourself what you may be projecting onto your partner. Projection is a defense mechanism in which oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unacceptable behaviors or thoughts are attributed to someone else. For example, a husband may insist he knows that his wife hates him when in fact it is he who has these feelings towards her. We all do this to some extent, but sometimes all we see is what we want to see. Our blinders keep us from keeping our relationship real because we have unrealistic expectations of our partner based on our projection of what we want them to be vs. who they really are. 3) Ask yourself if you truly have an individuated sense of yourself separate from your partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings, interpretation, or perception of you. Individuation is the innate tendency we have as humans to become individualized away from others (especially our parents), as well as to become conscious of our life purpose and know who and what we are and where we are going. Codependency on the other hand, keeps us locked in our emotionally immature patterns with one another and keeps us from maturing and growing as an individual on the planet. These are three crucial components of true love, because when all three are present, there is a healthy pattern of inter-dependence between two separate people who are interactive, supportive and direct about who they are. Graduating to the honesty and trust of true love is what offers the hope of a healthy and happy relationship. Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. (Dr. He) and Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lissa Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) are a married couple who have worked together for over 14 years coaching troubled relationships to clearer communication, deeper intimacy, and healthier partnership.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Flower Hill Promenade provides a variety of dining and shopping choices BY MARLENA CHAVIRA-MEDFORD STAFF WRITER Originally developed by the Fletcher family in the mid-70s, Flower Hill Promenade continues to be a top destination for premiere dining and shopping. Its dozens of trendy boutiques, galleries, specialty shops and eateries have earned it a steady following for nearly 35 years, although most recently, the new Farmers’ Market has begun to draw even more folks. Every Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., foodies flock to the Promenade for unique finds, such as orange and whiskey marmalade, or avocado-honey. There is also locally-made pastas, pastries and breads — and, of course, plenty of fresh flowers, nuts, meats, herbs, fruit and veggies from nearby farms and ranches. Patrons can also shop while enjoying live music, which typically gets started by around 10 a.m. A portion of every Farmers’ Market also benefits the Challenged Athletes Foundation, an organization that helps those with physical disabilities across the nation pursue physical activity. Also, on April 30, students from the Carmel Valley Middle School Kids Korps chapter will be holding a fundraising event for the people of Japan at the Farmers’ Market. The Farmers’ Market isn’t the only new addition to Flower Hill Promenade. A few new tenants recently joined the lineup, including: Bon Bon’s Girly Boutique, which offers creative costume jewelry, such as conversation-piece pendants, bracelets, rings, charms, and lockets; the Gallery of Chinese Cultural Arts, which features high-end collectibles; and Mas Boutique, which carries unique clothing, handbags, hats, shoes, and accessories. This summer, Coconut Lime will begin selling contemporary patio furniture and swimwear in the space formerly occupied by Dig Home & Garden. Dallmann Confections will also open up a shop inside Pannikin Coffee & Tea. The

Among the many unique shops and dining experiences at Flower Hill Promenade is a Farmers’ Market held every Saturday (right).

local chocolatier will offer gourmet flavors, including cayenne and passion fruit bon bons, peanut butter and raspberry jam bon bons, and Modena balsamic vinegar and strawberry bon bons.

How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Rancho Santa Fe properties. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www.ranchosantafereview.com searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 51 countries in March, 2011 and generated 5,312 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily

High school musicians to join May 1 concert of Coastal Communities Band Talented high school musicians will participate with members of the Coastal Communities Concert Band at a “Salute to Young Musicians” performance May 1 at San Dieguito Academy, Encinitas. Selected by directors from four San Dieguito Union High School District bands, the young musicians will join some 85 adult members of the Coastal Communities Concert Band in a program of popular music. One music scholarship of $1,500 and four music scholarships of $750 each will be awarded during the 2 p.m. concert. Under the direction of Dr. Robert Fleming, the Coastal Communities Concert band annually performs about eight programs throughout the North San Diego area. The concerts include music from Broadway and film, Big Band jazz numbers, classical works and marches. In an outreach education program currently underway through May 24, members of the band visit third grade classes in the district and introduce them to the baritone horn, clarinet, flute saxophone, trombone and trumpet. Each of the approximately 850 third graders has a chance to try playing each of the instruments. For more information, visit www.ccband.com or call 760 436-6137.

National Nutrition Month

BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT March was National Nutrition Month®, which was created by the American Dietetic Association (ADA) to increase nutrition education and awareness. The theme this year is “Eat Right with Color.” In a previous article I devoted a full column to this important topic (see “What Color is Your Plate?” at RD4Health.com for this and other nutrition articles). In January of this year the USDA Peggy Korody, RD, CLT released the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. These guidelines are a practical roadmap to help you make changes in your eating pattern to improve your health. Let’s take a look at what the guidelines entail. The dietary guidelines encourage Americans to increase some foods and nutrients and decrease others. Some things to increase are your daily whole grains. Your goal should be to have at least half of your daily grains be whole grains, such as brown rice, and whole grain bread, pasta, and cereal. Vegetable intake should also be increased. The more color on your plate the better. Aim for 2 ½ cups of veggies per day for most adults. Fruit is a great snack and can be added to salads and salsas to increase your intake. Your goal should be 2 cups of fruit per day. If you have color at every meal, it will be easier to achieve your daily intake requirements. Dairy or fortified soy beverages are important in our diets to give us calcium, vitamin D, protein and potassium. Make your dairy options low fat or fat-free, but be careful with fat-free yogurt because the fat has been replaced with sugar increasing the calorie count. Include healthy oils in your diet, such as canola, olive, and peanut oil. These oils are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils. Seafood, especially fatty fish from cold waters, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut are high in essential omega-3 fatty acids. Our bodies cannot manufacture omega-3 fatty acids, so we need to get this nutrient from our food. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation and may decrease your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Now let’s review the items to reduce in your diet. Research has shown that most Americans consume more than one-third of their calories from saturated fats and added sug-

ars. Saturated fats are easily recognizable, in that they are naturally solid at room temperature. Your goal should be to eat less food that contains solid fats, trans fats, added sugars, and refined grains. The new guidelines for sodium remain the same for about half the population, which is 2,300 milligrams per day. Reducing your sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams per day is suggested for people 51 years and older, African-Americans, and people with a history of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease and/or diabetes. To reduce your sodium intake, decrease the amount of processed foods you eat, use herbs and spices in place of salt when cooking, and read food labels. Eating fruits and veggies, which are low in sodium and high in nutrients and fiber, will also add more color to your diet. March 9 is Registered Dietitian (RD) Day, a day set aside to increase awareness of registered dietitians and their role in providing indispensable nutrition information. This day recognizes RDs for their commitment to helping people enjoy healthy lives. Visit the ADA website at EatRight.org for more on Registered Dietitian Day and the key messages listed below: •Registered dietitians are food and nutrition experts who can translate the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthy living. •Registered dietitians have degrees in nutrition, dietetics, public health or a related field from well-respected, accredited colleges and universities, completed an internship and passed an examination. •Registered dietitians use their nutrition expertise to help individuals make unique, positive lifestyle changes. •Registered dietitians work throughout the community in hospitals, schools, public health clinics, nursing homes, fitness centers, food management, food industry, universities, research and private practice. •Registered dietitians are advocates for advancing the nutritional status of Americans and people around the world. When looking for help achieving a healthy lifestyle please seek out a registered dietitian, as they are the experts when it comes to translating nutritional science into everyday living. Peggy Korody is a registered dietitian and owner of RD4Health Nutrition Counseling, LLC in Rancho Santa Fe.

reached a point where surfers are using the wave as a platform for doing tricks. It’s a very masculine way of surfing. “Longboarding is all about harmony with the wave, it’s all about riding on the nose. When you’re on the nose, there’s a stillness that happens. There’s this poise and balance that happens.” Schumacher said she’d like to see more judges develop a deeper appreciation for that type of grace. She’s hopeful that in time those judging standards will evolve — and in the meantime, she’s continuing to perfect her art of riding on the nose of wave, a feeling she said that can be summed up in a single word: “Zen.” “You completely loose yourself in that moment. There is no ‘I’, just movement. Once you feel it, you want to chase it,” she said, seated just yards away from the sea at Naked Café. It’s evident she’s fallen back in love with the sport, and she’s promised herself that she’ll never let something like corporate sponsorships leave her disenchanted again. And so, here she’ll remain, topping off coffees at Naked Café, happy to do it, still in love with surfing, and staying true to who she is.
