High school district hears positive poll results for possible bond measure BY MARSHA SUTTON More than 64 percent of likely voters in the San Dieguito Union High School District would support a General Obligation bond in the November election to improve and upgrade the district’s facilities, SDUHSD board members learned at a workshop May 9. “This is a strong result,” said Timothy McLarney, president of True North Research, Inc., an Encinitasbased survey research firm. “Voters are seeing your performance and saying this is a good investment.” What makes these results impressive, McLarney

said, is that high school districts typically receive less support than elementary and unified districts. Relying on three years of staff and committee research, investigation and planning, the SDUHSD school board authorized the district in March to survey local voters to gauge their reaction to a proposed tax that would address facility needs. The Irvine-based Dolinka Group, hired by the district in Feb. for bond-related financial advisory services, subcontracted with True See BOND, page 26

RSF father and daughter share memorable experience on ABC’s ‘Secret Millionaire’ KAREN BILLING Imagine being plucked out of your resort-like Rancho Santa Fe home and dropped in a run-down, dangerous neighborhood in New Jersey. Rancho Santa Fe resident Scott Jacobs and his daughter Alexa don’t have to imagine it, they lived it last year and their lifechanging six days in the city-in-need will be nationally televised. Alexa and Scott are part of the season-premiere episode of ABC’s “Secret Millionaire,” airing on Sunday, June 3, at 8 p.m. Now in its third season, “Secret Millionaire” is a show that follows some of America’s most successful business people as they

Alexa Jacobs with her dad Scott Jacobs. spend a week in the country’s poorest areas and ultimately give deserving members of the communities hundreds of thousands of dollars of their own money. Scott, a world-renowned artist, and daughter

Alexa, 20, can’t reveal the specifics of their gifts yet but can remark on what an incredibly emotional and powerful journey it was. “The show really isn’t about us but the people we found and what they’re doing every day out of the love of their hearts, expecting nothing back,” Scott said. “They’re the amazing people.” Scott will say every dollar he has earned came from a tiny brush stroke. A paintbrush is usually stuck behind one ear and his pants coated in paint splatters. He owned his first art gallery at the age of 19 and began by drawing things that interested him, such as motorcycles and cars. A cou-

ple of Harley-Davidson paintings he did received the attention of the right people and in 1993 he became the company’s first-ever officially licensed artist. His photo-realist paintings now include not just the bikes but car art, lifestyle art, bar art and more. His limited edition prints are in museums and private collections in more than 60 countries and imagery he’s created appears on everything from T-shirts to collector plates. He may only get 20 cents a plate, but he’s sold 5.5 million of them. “Neither of us was born with a silver spoon in our mouths,” said Scott’s wife Sharon. “I’ve climbed up the

ladder with him for the past 30 years.” One of her favorite stories about Scott is that when he was 12 years old he used to tow a lawn mower behind his bike on a rope, a gas can strapped to the top so he could earn money mowing 42 lawns every week. He worked hard for everything he earned. Scott grew up in New Jersey about 20 miles from where they were filming. His parents were both alcoholics, his dad was abusive to his mother and his brother was also an alcoholic. He moved out of New Jersey as soon as he could. The show often tries to

bring people back to their roots and see if they can tap into those emotions. Scott said it definitely did. “I cried and got choked up many times,” Scott said. “It’s hard to see people living like that.” A Rancho Santa Fe resident for 16 years, Scott was approached to do the show about a week after he’d seen it for the first time. He wasn’t sure at first that he wanted to put himself out there in that way, but in conversations with his family, decided to do it. The show’s staff interviewed both his daughters, Alexa and Olivia, as well as Sharon and selected Alexa to See MILLIONAIRE, page 24

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Wildfire in Rancho Santa Fe: Are you prepared? — Submitted by the RSF Fire District Wildfires are a constant threat for those of living in Southern California, especially in wildland-urban interface areas such as those inside and surrounding Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District’s (RSFFPD) communities. The RSFFPD employs a hazard abatement inspector who surveys properties for fire hazards and mails violation notices to property owners not in compliance with District Ordinance 2004-02 and 2011-01, which can be found on its website at www. rsf-fire.org. The RSF Fire District is currently in the process of sending letters out to all residents within the RSFFPD service area reminding them of the local hazard abatement requirements. Here are some ways you can safeguard not only your home, but your entire community. These requirements can also be found in their entirety on the RSF Fire District web site. New Hazards are Increasing the Threat There are a number of plant and tree species that have been infected by insect infestation, disease, and lack of maintenance. Some of this vegetation has gone from being decorative to becoming a potential fire hazard. Over the last few years, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District has seen an increase in the amount of tree mortality especially with Eucalyptus and California Pepper Trees, Oleanders, Myoporum and certain Acacia species. Property owners should survey their properties for dead or dying trees and remove them as necessary in order to reduce the fire hazard. Replacement trees should be approved by the Fire District and your local Homeowner’s Association.

Create and Maintain Defensible Space “Defensible space” is a term used to describe a 100-foot “buffer zone” around all structures on your property and 30-foot zone along either side of roadways and driveways in which dead and dying vegetation is removed and excess growth is thinned. Defensible space will not only give firefighters a safe place to make a stand against threatening flames, but it has been proven to save homes and minimize property damage. Creating a defensible space around your home can be as simple as removing combustible vegetation and flammable materials and replanting with drought-tolerant, fire resistive trees, shrubs and plants. Keep vegetation well-maintained and remove any dead foliage throughout the year. Weeds and grasses must be cut below six-inches in height. Trees and native vegetation should not come into direct contact with structures or parts thereof. Tree limbs and foliage must be trimmed 10 feet from rooftops, chimneys, and outdoor barbecues. Mature trees must be pruned back at least four to six feet from structures and branches trimmed six feet off the ground. Roofs and Rooftops Most homes with wood-shake roofs do not survive wildfires. During a fire storm, these homes burn from the outside-in. If you own a home with a wood roof, there is no more time to delay; retro-fit your home with a roof made of non-combustible materials. Many newer roofing materials now resemble wood-shake so homeowners can experience the aesthetic qualities they desire while making their home a defendable one. See WILDFIRE, page 26

RSF residents elected as delegates to the Democratic National Convention

Rancho Santa Fe residents were among delegates recently elected to represent the 49th Congressional District at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. The convention will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina from Sept. 3-6. Carol Waldman and Michael Gelfand of Rancho Santa Fe, along with Francine Busby of Cardiff, Maureen Sweeney of Solana Beach, Kyle Krahel and Willie Little of Oceanside, and K. Thomas Bose of Carlsbad won at the district-level delegate caucus held April 29. The 49th Congressional District includes most of the northern coastal area in San Diego, as well as the southern tip of Orange County. Convention delegates will travel to North Carolina this fall to cast their votes to officially nominate President Barack Obama for a second term and to approve the Democratic National Party platform. “I am beyond thrilled to be among the over 5,500 delegates nation-wide who will nominate the President for re-election at the convention and it will be an honor to represent my district,” said Carol Waldman, a full-time mother. California is awarded a total of 547 delegates and 46 alternates to the Democratic National Convention. The California Delegation has traditionally been one of the most diverse delegations in years past, and expects the 2012 delegation to reflect the multitude of California Democrats united for victory in 2012.

RSF student wins big as he joins efforts to protect state’s olive crop from fruit fly RSF resident Matthew Sorge, a seventh grader at Santa Fe Christian Schools, has joined forces with other dedicated researchers at the University of California in the battle to eradicate the olive fruit fly. Matthew challenged himself to determine if the cool winter temperatures in coastal San Diego County affected the ability of the P. humilis to parasitize the olive fruit fly larvae inside the olive fruit. “A biological control is needed to combat the olive fruit fly because it is threatening California’s $90 million olive industry,” said Matthew. Matthew conducted his award-winning field research as part of his seventh grade science fair project at Santa Fe Christian. Matthew Sorge with is award-winning science project. After winning 1st place at the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair, Matthew went on to compete against nearly 1,000 students from over 400 schools at the California State Science Fair where he won 1st place in zoology. He has also been selected to compete at the national level in the Broadcom Masters Competition, an honor awarded to the top 10 percent of middle school science fair participants. In addition, Matthew captured the attention of the olive oil industry and his results were published in The Olive Oil Source. Dr. Marshall W. Johnson of UC Riverside assisted him in the carefully controlled study that required laboratory samples to replicate work being conducted in other parts of California. Matthew’s research successfully confirmed his suspicions. His hypothesis that the cool winter temperatures in San Diego County do, affect the olive fruit fly was proved correct. “Matthew’s findings add one more piece to the puzzle and suggest that it may be possible to adequately manage, but not eradicate, the olive fruit fly over the next several years,” Johnson said. “His findings give us encouragement to continue releases of P. humilis in the San Diego area. I think he has done quite well for a 7th grader.” For more information, contact (858) 755-8900 or www.sfcs.net.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

See top student productions at Canyon Crest Academy Film Festival BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Cinema conservatory is capping off an extremely successful year with its sixth annual Film Festival, to be held this Saturday, May 19, at 7 p.m. More than 20 films will be screened, all a length of five minutes or less, featuring several comedies, dramas, a “spaghetti western,” sci-fi, documentaries and even two films featuring handdrawn animation. “These kids are doing great work,” said visual arts teacher Mark Raines. “It should be a really good show.” The festival will crown winners in each category and the audience will get to select the audience choice winner. As a lucky bonus, the festival will feature two student films that were selected to be a part of the 2012 Los Angeles Film Festival in the Future Filmmakers category, screened on June 16 and June 23 at LA Live. Senior Hunter Peterson and sophomore Josh Masters are only the second and third CCA students to achieve such an honor with their films, “Binary” and “Whither From Above.” “It’s really a big deal,”

said Raines. “I’m so proud of these guys because it’s one of the largest film festivals in the country and the student work is phenomenal. We’re definitely producing that kind of work at CCA and the festival saw that.” In addition to CCA’s recognition at the LA Film Festival, six CCA films have been nominated for the San Diego County Board of Education’s iVIE Film Festival in broadcast journalism, nonfiction film and Raines’ own video in the classroom about his experience in Haiti after the earthquake in 2010. Winners will be announced in June. Josh’s LA Film Festivalrecognized movie, “Whither From Above,” is about a student who has a dream that aliens are talking to him and the next day a UFO comes to get him at school. Richard Liu, Alvin Lin and Justin Bartell also worked on the film. “I wanted it to be something that was unique visually, with a ‘wow factor’ to it,” said Josh. “I wanted to have fun and create something wild and crazy and cool.” Mission accomplished on the “wow” factor as Raines said the first time he watched the film in class,

A scene from Hunter Peterson’s ‘Binary,’ starring Malachy Martinez seeing a UFO hovering over the CCA campus, he was blown away. Josh made the film in a regular film class last year before joining Envision conservatory this year, which was the reason he made the choice to attend CCA. “It’s amazing being able to pursue your interests and have the freedom to do it,” said Josh. Hunter’s film is called “Binary” and is combination of science fiction and a “feel good film,” with a little nod to his favorite childhood movie “Short Circuit.” He received help on the film from Alexander Powell, Alvin Lin, Blake Johnston and Matt Britt. “It’s probably one of my favorites that I’ve ever done, I’m very proud of it,” Hunt-

er said. Starring the young Malachy Martinez, it is about a boy who finds a mysterious box that prints an endless stream of binary paper. The boy and the machine figure out a way to communicate with each other in a very sweet, moving story. Peterson has come a long way from where he started in the film conservatory when he was into effects-driven things. Now he’d rather build something for the set, like the “Binary” box than have an animated one. “What I learned this year, I’ll stick with for the rest of my life: That it’s better to do something in production not in post,” said Hunter, who will attend USC in the fall, hoping to be in university’s film school by 2013. A total of eight film conservatory seniors are graduating this year, the first group that Raines has had all four years and the majority have been admitted into some great film schools and programs. “They’re a stellar group,” Raines said. This year’s film conservatory was helped by having two amazing guest artists: Destin Daniel Cretton and

CCA Envision Cinema students Hunter Peterson and Josh Masters will have films screened at the LA Film Festival this year, as well as this weekend’s film festival at CCA. Brad Kester. Cretton’s film “Short Term 12” played Sundance in 2009 and won the US Jury Prize. His first feature film, “I Am Not A Hipster,” premiered at Sundance this year. Kester was an assistant director on “Short Term 12” and a second unit director on “I Am Not a Hipster.” The guest artists provide a unique, “real-world” education for the students and are fully funded by parent donations. “It’s getting harder and harder to retain them,” Raines said of the guest artists. “There’s a need for more donations and help.” Fundraisers like the film festival help give the program the boost it needs.

The students also work very hard to fundraise for their guest artists, putting on the Mini Cine fest earlier in the year and selling various artwork, raising a total of $6,000. “It gives them a sense of ownership of the program,” Raines said. “They’re saying ‘We value the guest artists a lot and this is our contribution and we’d love it if you’d partner with us.’” Tickets to the Film Festival are $10 for adults and $5 for students, with all monies going toward Envision film. Donations can also be made online at canyoncrestfoundation.org/donate-online. Donations should be designated to “video/film.”

CCA junior earns perfect score in USA Mathematical Olympiad Thomas Swayze to compete at international Olympiad BY JOE TASH For many high school students, the two most dreaded words in the English language are “math test.” Not so for Thomas Swayze, 17, a junior at Canyon Crest Academy. Thomas gets so much satisfaction from figuring out complex math problems that he voluntarily takes grueling math tests in his spare time, for fun. Last month, Thomas competed in the USA Mathematical Olympiad, a ninehour test given over two days, containing only six math problems. The results were announced on Wednesday, May 9: Thomas was one of 12 winners nationwide, and one of only five students to earn a perfect score. He was also chosen for the U.S. national mathematics team that will compete this summer in an international Olympiad to be held in Argentina, which will include teams from about 90 countries. Thomas is the first San Diego County high school student to win the prestigious U.S. math contest, said Brian Shay, his teacher and math team coach. “It’s basically the Olympics for math,” said Shay of the national contest. “Like Michael Phelps is to swimming, Thomas Swayze is to math.” The competition centers on “proof-based problems,” in algebra and geometry, which are on par with work that college undergrads or even graduate students might be expected to master, Shay said. “It’s deeper and more theoretical than math students are used to in high school,” said Shay. Before heading to Argentina, Thomas will participate in a three-week math training program at the University of Nebraska, the headquarters of the Mathematical Association of America, which sponsors the Olympiad competition. He’s attended the training program the past two summers. Olympiad winners

Thomas said he first knew he was interested in math at a very young age, when he would count anything he saw, including sand bags at a construction site near his family’s home. By elementary and middle school, he had begun competing in math contests. “I just liked doing the problems, that’s how I got into this,” Thomas said. “I like the connections and relationships that I can see. It just has an appeal to me.” For the Olympiad, Thomas and 17 other San Diego County contestants gathered at UCSD. The test was broken into two fourand-a-half hour sessions, and contestants had to maintain complete silence during the entire event. In order to successfully solve the problems, Thomas said, contestants not only had to come up with the right answer, but they had to explain why their answer was the only possible solution to the problem. Competing in the Olympiad requires both math and writing skills, he said, because much of the exercise involves the written explanation of how the problems were solved. Thomas said he is driven less by the competition with other students than the challenge of solving complex mathematical problems. “I just want to solve it. I don’t want to get beat by the problem,” he said. Although he doesn’t focus as much on the competitive aspect of the Olympiad,

he said, “It’s pretty cool to know there’s five perfect scores and I’m one of them.” Shay said the Canyon Crest math club has 20 to 30 active members, who gather twice weekly to polish their problem-solving skills, and also compete in a variety of math contests with other schools. Another student, Paolo Gentile, won this year’s junior math Olympiad, Shay said. The Olympiad is intended to build on students’ interest in math, and discover math talent that can be developed into tomorrow’s professors and theoreticians, Shay said. Thomas said he’s not sure yet what field he’ll pursue, whether he wants to be a professor or researcher or use his math skills in a more practical field, like the stock market. But he’s interested in attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and seeing where his interest and aptitude in numbers can take him. “I’m most interested in the pureness of math itself. But the nice thing about math is that it’s so broad it can take you in a lot of directions,” he said. Below are links to the six problems — and their solutions — featured in this year’s USA Mathematical Olympiad: http://amc.maa.org/ usamo/2012/2012USAMO_ Day1_Final_P.pdf http://amc.maa.org/ usamo/2012/2012USAMO_ Day2_Final_P.pdf http://amc.maa.org/ usamo/2012/2012USAMO_ Day1_Day2_Final_S.pdf

Mark Johnson

Proﬁle

Resident provides an insider’s view of professional cycling BY KATHY DAY Local resident Mark Johnson shares an insider’s view of professional cycling’s Team Garmin-Cervélo in his new book “Argyle Armada.” And it’s not just a tiny peek – it’s 11 months worth of being on the road with some of the world’s best riders as they train and race from California and Colorado to the Tour de France. “Being with athletes of this caliber for nearly a year … people so underestimate what they are capable of,” said Johnson, a graduate of UCSD who holds a Ph.D. in English literature from Boston. “They plumb the depths of their physical and psychological capacity.” It’s that strength and the story behind the sport that drew him to writing the book, which gets its name from the classic argyle on the team’s jerseys. It’s a book written about the team, not for it, he emphasized. When asked which came first, riding or writing, he said his interests in both developed about the same time while he was at UCSD. Now 47, he has written

Quick Facts Name: Mark Johnson Distinction: Author of “Argyle Armada: Behind the Scenes of the Pro Cycling Life,” an insider’s view of professional cycling’s Team Garmin-Cervélo. Johnson has a Ph.D. in English literature from Boston University and graduated from UCSD (BA in English and American literature) with honors. He has also bicycled across the country twice and surfed Jeffery’s Bay, South Africa. Family: Wife, Melinda Johnson, physical therapist at Pluta Movement Therapeutics in Solana Beach; sons Sammy, eighth-grader at Earl Warren Middle School, and Nico, fifth-grader at Del Mar Heights Elementary. Interests: Surfing, bicycle racing, photography, “trying not to fall too far behind on my New Yorker subscription,” reading. Reading: Last book I read was Marvin Miller’s autobiography, “A Whole Different Ball Game” … I’m also reading Terry Lovell’s “Bernie Ecclestone: King of Sport.” All-time favorite book is Melville’s “Moby Dick.” That’s the one book I’d take to a desert island — every time you read [Moby Dick], it seems just as provocative, fresh and surprising as the first. Favorite films: “Pulp Fiction,” “In Bruges,” “The Triplets of Belleville” Favorite getaway: Ericiera, Portugal, for its food, wine, and waves. And for cycling, it’s hard to beat the scenery and roads of Girona, Spain. Philosophy: As far as I can tell, we only live once, so might as well try.

dling its internal and external communications. (For the 2012 season, the team has a new sponsor and name – Garmin-Barracuda – but the team will still ride Cervélo bikes.) So when the team members asked if they could license some of his photos, he said he started talking to the team’s founder, Jonathan Vaughters – a former member of Lance Armstrong’s U.S. Postal team – about the possibility of “embedding” with the team for its 2011 season. Vaughters liked the idea enough to give Johnson unlimited access to the team, from meetings to the bus to hotel rooms. He was there for strategy and training sessions, there for post-race briefings, and there when the cyclists were eating and relaxing. Because of that, he is able to tell stories of the individual challenges and triumphs, and the politics and business of world-class cycling. He was also there to see them tackle such races as the Amstel Gold in Holland, which has 32 climbs over the equivalent of 162 miles. “That’s like going up Torrey Pines 32 times at 20 mph,” he said, adding that for the cyclists it’s just another day at work. “It’s like joining a monastery – it’s all that they do.” While the term “embedded” normally connotes a reporter’s involvement with the military during war, Johnson said his agent used the word appropriately in this case. “I was living and traveling with them. It’s just that the blood oozing from their bodies was from crashing, not weaponry.” Vaughters quit riding after 2002 because of his “disgust with doping,” he said, and formed a development team to train younger cyclists to “compete at a high level without doping.” That grew into the team that won four stages of the 2011 Tour de France, wore the yellow jersey – signifying the day’s winning rider – for seven days, and won the overall team title. “France validated Vaughter’s belief that they could win without cheating,” Johnson said. That the time for one of the toughest mountain stages was three minutes slower than the year before was an indica-

Mark Johnson at stage 9 of the Tour de France in Albepierre-Bredons on July 11, 2011. tion that there was less doping going on, he added. But while the race across the mountains and valleys of France is the world’s premier race, for Johnson, a few of the other events along the way were more exciting or more scenic for a variety of reasons. Among his favorite racing moments was when Garmin- Cervélo’s Johan Vansummeren won the spring classic, Paris Roubaix, one of cycling’s oldest races first held in 1896. A domestique – a rider who works for the others on the team — he won because he was able to attack and because teammate Thor Hushovd sacrificed his chance of winning for Vansummeren, Johnson said. “It was a team effort, a poignant moment … a bit melancholy,” he added. The emotions of that victory are just a small piece of what Johnson was able to capture in words and photos because he was aboard the team bus when Vansummeren came in after the race. The unique access Johnson was given is something that couldn’t have happened 10 years ago, he said. Back then a lot of teams were using illegal means to their advantage, but Vaughters had nothing to hide, he added. For him the 224-page book is a “story about more than the dream. It’s more about the changing culture of cycling.” It’s also about an economic shift in the sport and the fact that cycling has

done more than other sports to eliminate doping. “The fans would like to know they are truly honest heroes,” Johnson said. Keeping track of his work while on the road with the team was a challenge. At the end of each day — at whatever hour that was – he wrote on his notebooks a few identifying details and downloaded and tagged his photos. His background in English literature was helpful with his writing and his ability to follow through on the narrative and the overall project. For a brief time, his wife Melinda — also a cyclist — and sons Nico and Sammy joined him in Spain, staying for a couple of weeks to take Spanish lessons. After that they joined him for a stage of the Tour de France. He spent most of December and January writing the final draft; the book was published in early March. When he got down to meeting with his editor in November, he had 100,000 photos that they culled to 250. “They were critical because they affected the narrative,” he said, as he showed how the copy flows with the imagery on each page. Because the coffee tablestyle book is laden with such a wealth of photos, Johns said he fears that people may not read it. But the story is as important as the pictures, he said. Johnson didn’t just pick up a pen and start writing. He’s a student of sport, who

counts among his reading list Christopher Thompson’s “Tour de France: A Cultural History” and Marvin Miller’s “A Whole Different Ball Game,” which tells the story of how baseball changed when players unionized. He’s also read Terry Lovell’s “Bernie Ecclestone: King of Sport” to learn about “how Formula 1 became a $2 billion dollar business.” And sitting on his nightstand is Terry Pluto’s “Loose Balls,” which is about the rise and fall of the American Basketball Association, which he plans to read “for insight on how not to run a sports league.” Johnson says he has “become fascinated by how other major sports have evolved as businesses, because in many respects pro cycling never did.” Professional cyclists do not share in television revenues as other athletes do, he added. “They survive by going to sponsors.” It’s not an inexpensive sport, he said, detailing some of the expenses: Each team has about 30 riders, who have three or four bikes each. It costs about $250,000 per team in wheels alone, although the gear comes from equipment sponsors. Add in the flights and hotels and staff of, on average, two per rider. Vaughters, he said, “has figured out a way to introduce change into the way the sport is managed.” But until the riders organize or until “someone recognizes a lot of money is being left on the table,” he doesn’t see the economics of cycling changing. “There are as many cyclists as there are tennis players, golfers and snow skiers combined,” he said to make his point about the popularity of the sport. “The market is there, but there’s limited exposure because cycling is organized by different people in different countries.” Today, Johnson is busy traveling to market the book. He spent recent days along the route of the Tour de California, holding book signings and talking about the project. He’s entertaining thoughts about another book, perhaps about professional triathletes, and continues to work for the Garmin-Barracuda team and write for a broad range of cycling publications.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Adieu ‘foie gras’! Yes, as of July 1, 2012, a ban on the production and sale of “foie gras” will take effect. The law, written by Democrat John Burton, was passed in 2004, supported by then-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, under the (I believe) false pretense of cruelty to animals. This was just another pathetic attempt by our government to take more control of our daily lives. I wish to explain here why I am so upset and even angry about the ban. As some of you may know, I was born in rural southwest France, in a remote and not easily accessible corner of the Lot department, on a small farm that provided the family with our daily nourishment. It also provided my family with money via the sale of our farm products at the market place every other Saturday in Figeac, a small town 10 kilometers away. Besides a vegetable garden by the river, alfalfa and corn fields, we raised cows and goats for milking and cheese-making (we sold 90 percent of these), then pigs, pigeons, chickens, a couple of geese and ducks, both for consuming and selling. So, back to our ducks, which were our biggest source of income: we fed 60 ducks every year, 20 roaming freely, fed on corn and other grain, and 40 that were kept for forcefeeding (gavage). All these birds eventually ended up on a butcher block at the hand of my dad, but which do you think had the better lives? From mid-October to mid-February, typically at 4 a.m. and 4 p.m. every day, my grandmother and my dad would go force-feed our 40 ducks (hard work!) to fatten both the bird and its liver, a practice that goes back to antiquity (the Egyptians depicted the practice on several bas-relief pieces, as did the Romans). The minute the door of the pen opened there would be a battle to be the first duck in line!

The excitement was amazing, the birds couldn’t wait to get fed! The process for each animal is grabbing the duck, inserting a funnel in its throat (the bird can ingest its food — such as an entire fish — via its special esophagus) and in a two-to- three-minute procedure push down corn (grass sometimes) in an amount that increases every month until the fattening process is completed. The ducks are kept in the dark and are basically in a state of inebriation through the whole process, just happy, happy fellows until the day of their demise... Much better than those other 20 ducks that were out all day in the cold or rain, some of them butchered twice a month for our Sunday’s roast duckling... All the fattened birds would be butchered at once, the livers sold at market for big money and the rest of the duck would be “confit,” kept in the cellar and eaten once a week on Thursdays — voila! The whole process is a far cry from the depictions of the sick and tortured animals presented to the legislators who, by the way, never bothered to visit any of the farms where these birds are force-fed. Now, as of July 1, the farms will close, more people will go on the unemployment line and a few other small businesses will shutter. A sad ending, but, for now, we must celebrate that amazing product and both Mille Fleurs and Mister A’s will offer special “foie gras” menus featuring the different preparations of this incredible delicacy... Come join us — savor, enjoy, and then mourn with us the passing of “foie gras” in California! Bertrand Hug, Owner, Mille Fleurs and Mister A’s

Heroes and hidden depression BY CAROLYN GERARD, LMFT Go Big or Go Home! There’s nothing wrong with messages to go for the gusto, give it all you’ve got and if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. We are a nation founded on determination, entrepreneurship, strength and independence. But what are the emotional consequences for the hero when their acclaimed “best” days are behind them? How are they to cope when their body betrays them or their well of passion has run dry? Are they allowed to show human frailties? Can they talk about shortcomings and fears? With the recent passing of San Diego’s Favorite Son, Junior Seau, I was struck by the sad commentaries of those who were close to him who expressed no idea of the personal pain and emotional suffering he may have experienced. They wondered how they could have been more attuned to those hidden feelings and if there was anything they could have done to avert the final act of hopelessness. It’s perplexing for adoring fans to comprehend that those successful heroes can have feelings of despair. These feelings are nonetheless real and tragically impossible in today’s society for the hero to discuss. If they reveal feelings of depression they fear that they will be perceived as “weak,” a character flaw that heroes simply do not possess. Underneath the facade of any “hero,” whether it be a professional athlete, a successful business person or the world’s best Mom or Dad, we must acknowledge that our love and respect for them is founded on the person who has achieved heroic abilities, and not just for the image they represent. We must, as individuals, and as a society in general, send the message to all “heroes” that it is OK to be human. If they experience adversity in their personal lives we should encourage them to talk about it and to reach out to others. We must dispel the stigma of being labeled a “failure” at any sign of emotional distress. Sometimes the most courageous heroes are those who forego what others think and get appropriate emotional support when it is needed. No one — even our heroes deserve less. It is fact that one in four Americans will experience some form of mental health condition in their lifetime. The same treatment one would unquestionably receive for a broken bone should be sought and offered without labels and shame for any mental health disorder.

When that happens, we will all benefit and learn to love and appreciate our heroes as people of integrity when their playing fields change over time.

Solana Santa Fe Chess Club The Solana Santa Fe Chess Club recently completed its winter session taught by Mountain Lake Chess Club. Owned and operated by International Chess Master Larry Evans, the students were taught how to play as well as the history of chess. “Chess is not just a game,” said Caryn Boxer, one of the instructors. “It provides skills that are forever attached to your future. You learn organizational skills and with that comes planning ahead, deductive reasoning, social etiquette and patience.” Boxer, who taught the students with Patrick O’Malley, said that besides having fun in a social atmosphere, the students are provided tools that may be applied throughout their lives. More information regarding upcoming classes, youth chess tournaments, and summer chess camps is available on the Mountain Lake Chess Camp website: www.chesscamp.net or call (800) 675-1227 or (619) 585-1050.

Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate: 2012 January-April Performance Summary Statistically, Rancho Santa Fe real estate (defined for the purpose of this analysis as all attached and detached residential properties listed with the San Diego Multiple Listing Service for the 92067 and 92091 zip codes as of May 1, 2012) is slower this year, than last year. Comparing January through April of both years, the number of sales has decreased 9.2%, from 76 properties sold in the first four months of 2011 to 69 properties in 2012. Much of this difference came from a very slow March. When comparing last year to this year, except for March, the two years have had essentially the same activity. What has not been the same is the supply. Inventory has declined nearly 20%. The average inventory level during the first four months of last year was almost 300 properties for sale. This year’s average was slightly more than 230 properties. The decline was primarily the result of fewer new listings. Comparing these first four months year-over-year, new listings have dropped 20%, from 225 in 2011 to 185 in 2012. Unfortunately, this reduction in supply has not stopped the average marketing time on sold properties from increasing 13%, suggesting slightly weaker demand than 2011. This, in fact, is corroborated by a 4.4% median sold price decline.

Original Listing Price: less than $3 million Located in the exclusive gated enclave of The Bridges, this elegant custom Villa exudes European elan and showcases views of the fifth fairway of The Bridges golf course. With alluring Mediterranean architecture and lush landscaping anchored by stately matured trees, the villa makes a stunning first impression. The luxe ambiance continues inside this approximately 7,800 square foot residence with a grand foyer opening to the formal living and dining rooms. The home is designed for effor tlessly elegant living and enter taining with spacious rooms that flow into each other and to the outside.

Oﬀered at $3,275,000

Rancho Paciﬁca $9,350,000

RSF-The Covenant $5,495,000

Of all three price groups in Rancho Santa Fe, this one had more sales than any other. During the first four months of 2012, 47 properties sold with an original listing price less than $3 million. 48 sold during the same period in 2011. This price group has also had the largest decline in inventory. Average daily inventory for January-April 2011 was 156 properties for sale versus 116 properties for sale during the same time period in 2012. These numbers alone imply an increasing seller’s market, yet the character of that market diametrically changes with a fuller set of variables. For instance, despite significantly lower inventory and equivalent number of sales for this price group, average marketing time has increased while median value has decreased. Specifically, average marketing time has increased nearly 20%, while median value has decreased 9%. Given this more comprehensive view, this price group still appears to be strongly buyer influenced.

Original Listing Price: $3 million - $5 million This is the only price group that can be characterized statistically as a seller’s market, when comparing the first four months of 2011 and 2012. Just like the price group below this one, sales remained constant while inventory and new listings declined. Specifically, for both 2011 and 2012, there were 15 properties sold as inventory shrunk by 18% and new listings by 6%. However, unlike the price group below this one, average marketing time decreased and median value increased. Average marketing time fell from 433 days to 384 days, while median value increased from $2,675,000 to $3,000,000. Since there were only 15 properties sold in each period, the reliability of median value is somewhat suspect, yet it is supported by the trend of all the other variables. It is paradoxical that this price group exemplified a seller’s market more than the price group below it, given its ratio of inventory/solds was nearly twice the lower price group. This is an example of the necessity to assess more than inventory levels to characterize a market as either a buyer’s or seller’s market. Actually, many buyers are currently wrestling with the lack of choices available in the lower price group, complaining about not being able to find what they are looking for due to the low inventory. Possibly, this is how too low of an inventory can become a market detriment and create a market’s mischaracterization.

Majestic Sunsets, awe inspiring Pacific Ocean views…….rarely does a single story home of this size, style and quality become available on such a coveted Covenant lot. Superbly located on the Westside of the Covenant, this proper ty has unobstructed ocean and sunset views, on a quiet and private cul-de-sac, within minutes to the RSF Village. Spanning approximately 6,000 square feet, the residence encompasses three bedrooms, all en suite, and one formal powder room, with spacious living areas that open to expansive ocean view loggias for alfresco living and enter taining in all seasons.

If the middle price group can be characterized as a seller’s market and the lower price group somewhere between a seller’s and buyer’s market, this price group can be characterized as a buyer’s market. Comparing January through April of 2011 and 2012, the number of properties sold in this upper price group is essentially half of what it was last year. Specifically, 13 properties sold during this period in 2011 versus only 7 in 2012. Not only did fewer properties sell, but it took 77% longer to sell them. Average marketing time for the 13 properties in 2011 was 433 days compared to 767 days in 2012. While average daily inventory remained unchanged for these two periods, new listings declined 35%, mostly due to sellers turning away from this market. Much of this seller reluctance is exhibited in these statistics. For example, timeline extensions and fewer properties sold also represent parties failing to come to terms. One unequivocal message sellers in this market have been sending to potential buyers is, “It takes two to tango”.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Library welcomes Wild Wonders

ancho Santa Fe was truly where the wild things were on May 7, as Wild Wonders Inc. visited for the afternoon children’s library event. Kimberly Wright, managing director and programs manager for Wild Wonders, introduced a crowd of children to animals such as an adorable hedgehog, a bluetongued skink, a binturong (known as the Asian bear cat), a kinkajou, a screaming hairy armadillo, and an alligator. The alligator has roots in Rancho Santa Fe — it was found in a pond and Wild Wonders was able to rescue it and take care of it. The alligator is probably less than 2 years old, Wright said, and while it is small now, she said it would likely grow to nearly fill the length of the children’s library room. Wright told the children it was important to learn as much as they could about animals and protecting them. “Always recycle so we don’t have to cut down as many trees where these animals live,” Wright said. — Karen Billing

The ClearChoice team of specialists provides 21st century solutions to people struggling with dentures or bad teeth.

WHY SUFFER WITH DENTURES? For centuries, removable false teeth, or dentures, have been used to replace missing teeth. But denture-wearers report that many undesirable side effects come along with this less-than-ideal solution: Dentures are uncomfortable to wear and often slip or click; they can cause bad breath, and require ongoing and inconvenient maintenance; they often result in a weak bite, a fake-looking smile DQG DQ RYHUO\ DFWLYH JDJJLQJ UHĂ&#x20AC; H[ Care and comfort aside, those with dentures also are prevented from eating many of the foods and participating in many of the activities they enjoy. With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s science, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply no reason for anyone to struggle with dentures. In fact, many of the problems denture wearers struggle with can be solved in just one day* with the help of your ClearChoice team of dental implant professionals.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

MILLIONAIRE continued from page 1 come on the show with him. Alexa, a Torrey Pines graduate, is currently in college and working two jobs as well as doing freelance modeling. Last July, after some initial shooting at their home, the show’s crew showed up at 4 a.m. to take them to their undisclosed destination. They couldn’t wear any clothing with logos on it, no jewelry, no makeup or nail polish for Alexa. Both of their cell phones were taken and they could have no contact with their family for the next six days of filming. “I was terrified,” said Sharon of not knowing where they were or if they were safe. “Scott’s a lover not a fighter and I just started crying, telling them to protect my baby (Alexa).” Once they landed in New Jersey, they were immediately struck by the abundance of camera crews following their every move. A taxicab took them to their new neighborhood, passing boarded up and burned up houses and projects that had become so dangerous that people no longer lived there.

“It was freaking me out,” Alexa said of the stories the cab driver told them of things that had happened in the neighborhood. They arrived at their new home, an abandoned, boarded-up former crack house in Irvington. “We had a disgusting couch that smelled like cat urine and two new cots with clean sheets and two box fans,” Scott said. “We slept with the box fans at the end of the cots because it was so ridiculously hot and humid in the house and you couldn’t open any of the windows,” Alexa said. They were given a “junky old car” and welfare wages for the week, $71.03. On their first trip to the grocery store, a man threatened to kill Alexa and the last gallon of milk they were able to buy came out in chunks when they got home to pour it. Macaroni and cheese and egg salad sandwiches and cereal got them through most of their meals. They got by on just $48 for the six days. Even though they had armed bodyguards with them at all times, Scott said the first few nights he didn’t get much sleep. “I was in shock for the

first couple of days,” Alexa said. During the week they became Scott and Alexa Lee, two people filming a documentary on volunteering in America. Lying to every person they met was challenging, Alexa said, as they worked with three different charities and it was hard to keep their stories straight. The experiences they had and the people they met will stick with them forever. Both vividly remember the homeless man they met who lived in a boarded up building, sleeping on garbage. “That really hit home,” Scott said. Often times after experiencing something particularly hard hitting, the film crew would pull them aside for “on the fly” interviews. “They stick a camera in your face because they want that raw emotion at that moment,” Scott said. Both were amazed that in all of those hours of footage the producers were able to whittle it down to 42 minutes—Alexa estimates she went through enough emotions to fill an entire season. One of the hardest things was deciding how to split up the money between the charities they found, but

the best thing was the big reveal, giving all that money away to people who deserved it. “It’s a very emotional thing, one woman fell to her knees,” Scott said. “For me it was a relief off my shoulders after working with them all week— telling them that you’re going to help them and do what you wanted to do the first day you met them all,” Alexa said. “I was so happy, we couldn’t stop smiling.” When they returned, meeting up with their family and friends in South Dakota where they spend a great deal of time near the home of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Sharon said the change could be seen in them immediately. “In Alexa, I could see it in her face, it was just unbelievable,” Sharon said. “And Scott, he’s just a sap.” Scott smiles and admits it’s true, anticipating tears when the pair does their publicity tour through appearances on Jay Leno, Good Morning America and The View. “We should get our tear ducts removed,” Alexa joked to her dad. Alexa obtained an even deeper appreciation of her family out of the experience, after speaking with people

who had lost everything, including their families because of different circumstances. “I’m not taking anything for granted,” Alexa said. “I’m thankful for what I have and I don’t look at people the same way. I don’t judge.” One of the first things she did when she returned was volunteer with her sister at the San Diego Food Bank. For Scott, he gained perspective from the people he encountered—he met a homeless man who had worked for 30 years at GM and lost it all and ended up living on the street. He met another man who lost all of his retirement money in 30 days because of drinking and making poor decisions. “Anybody can have that reversal of fortune,” Scott said. “You’ve really got to be grateful for what you have and enjoy it now…And if you’ve got more than you need, there’s nothing wrong with giving back.” To learn more about “Secret Millionaire,” visit abc.go.com.shows/secretmillionaire or facebook. com/SecretMillionaire.

BOND continued from page 1 North Research to conduct the poll. McLarney said the 17-minute telephone survey conducted between April 20 and April 27 reached about 500 people whose profiles represented a sampling of the district’s demographic make-up. The margin of error was 4.4 percent. Participants were asked if they would support increased property taxes to repair and upgrade aging schools, improve science labs, classrooms and libraries with modern technology, and boost student safety and security. Additionally, they were told that the bond money, although required by law to be used only for capital improvements and school facilities upgrades and repair, would free up general fund money which could then be used to hire and retain qualified teachers and save academic programs. The district’s proposed General Obligation bond measure, for $448 million, would include independent citizen oversight and would need 55 percent to pass. With survey results indicating 64 percent of voter support, the recommendation by the district’s consultants was positive to move forward. SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah said he would bring the item to the next school board meeting on May 24 for discussion. At that time, board members

WILDFIRE continued from page 2 However, a non-combustible roof can become a combustible roof quite easily if leaf litter and debris accumulate on your roof. To safeguard your roof, regularly maintain your roof and rain gutters free from any debris. Roadways and Driveways Keep roadways and driveways clear from overhanging vegetation, which may hinder both evacuation efforts and access of incoming fire engines. From the edge of driveways and roadways, measure 13-feet, 6-inches straight up from the ground. Any overhanging bushes or branches in this area must be pruned back or removed to create vertical tree clearance. Other important items:

can ask questions and share their thoughts, he said, as well as hear from community members on the issue. Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, said exact wording for the bond measure must be decided by the July 26 school board meeting, which is when trustees will vote whether to place the bond levy on the November ballot. Wording must be officially submitted in final form to the county Registrar of Voters by August 10. Dill said the exact amount and terms have not yet been determined. The district has been using the figure of $25 per $100,000 of assessed property value, for 30 years, as a starting point. For property valued at $600,000, this would cost property owners $150 per year. This amount, he said, would raise the needed $448 million. The maximum taxation allowed under law for this bond is $30 for every $100,000 for 40 years, Dill said. The Dolinka contract for financial advisory services related to the GO bond is for $85,000, to be funded by campaign donations and future bond issues. The polling work will be paid to Dolinka by the district and is costing $18,000 when the poll is complete, $2,000 per month for March through July, $1,500 for August 1 to 15, and other expenses related to authorized work. The poll findings Benjamin Dolinka of •Remove dead palm fronds on palm trees within 100 feet from a structure or 30 feet from a roadway/ driveway. •Trim combustible vegetation 10-feet away from propane (LPG) tanks, and keep wood piles at least 30feet away from any structure on your property. Wildfire: Are You Prepared? •Stack and store firewood 30 feet from all structures. All flammable vegetation and combustible materials must be cleared or removed within 30 feet of firewood stacks. •Maintain a visible address. Whether it’s a wildfire or an every-day emergency, firefighters need to be able to read your address. Your address number should be visible from the street, with numerals at least 4 inches in height, mounted on a contrasting background.

the Dolinka Group said the poll indicates that voters are aware of the district, know its geographic areas, and are favorably impressed, with more than 67 percent of respondents saying the quality of education in the district was good or excellent. “This is amazing,” he said. “We don’t see this in the state of California. For a high school district to have this type of rating needs to be recognized.” McLarney said the category of “don’t know” about the district can be as high as 20 to 25 percent in other polls. “But that didn’t happen, so it indicates they know the district,” he said, telling board members that San Dieguito has “more visibility than they might expect.” When given a choice of options, the poll revealed that 84 percent of respondents were most concerned with maintaining the quality of education in local schools. The main reason for supporting the measure was that all the money would stay in the district and be used to support local students. A close second was that good schools help protect and improve local property values. The main reason for not supporting the measure, according to the 27 percent who said they would vote against it, was that there is too much wasteful spending in government. After hearing negative arguments, McLarney said the one that most resonated was that now is not the right time to be raising taxes.

• If you own a private gate, it must be equipped with an approved fire district gate access switch and/ or strobe sensor to allow firefighters to access your property during emergencies. Additionally, during wildfires, many firefighters arrive from out of the area and won’t be able to access your gated property. During a wildfire, disconnect the manual override motor on your electric gate, or if you have a manual gate, leave the gate open.

Yet even after hearing the arguments against the measure, McLarney said most respondents continued to back it. “Support is quite resilient,” he said. Conclusions of the report were that the bond measure is feasible, there is a high opinion of the district’s performance, the quality of education is important, and the district’s facilities needs are well-aligned with voters’ priorities. The district has “a very good chance [that] if you move forward you will be successful,” McLarney said. Newsman and district parent Graham Ledger, speaking from the audience, identified himself as a member of the Tea Party and addressed the group, saying, “I see a lot of backslapping.” He asked McLarney how many of those surveyed were homeowners and how many renters, saying this matters because renters don’t pay property taxes and would not be affected by passage of the bond. McLarney said about 65 percent were homeowners and 35 percent renters. Ledger also said the pollsters were “asking questions in a vacuum” since they did not inform respondents of other local bond measures that might appear on the same ballot. Competing bond measures MiraCosta College is considering a possible $500 million bond measure this fall, and the Del Mar Union School District’s Board of Trustees at its April 25 meeting voted 3-2 to authorize a

bond feasibility study, to be conducted by Dolinka. San Dieguito trustee John Salazar asked how these measures might affect support for SDUHSD’s bond. McLarney said competing initiatives are common and that 94 percent of the time the bonds pass if polling indicates that success is feasible. Nevertheless, Ken Noah said he had concerns about passage if voters are faced with three GO bonds on the November ballot that all ask for increases in property taxes. “I worry if we are competing,” he said. “When I heard about Del Mar, it caused me to pause a bit.” After the meeting, Noah said he anticipated state tax initiatives on the ballot, but that troubled him less than the unknown impact of local school tax proposals. “This is high stakes in terms of what we’re asking our communities to support,” he said. Pointing out that SDUHSD has been working on the issue of facility needs and planning since December 2008, he said the community expects due diligence and that the district would be prepared with a list of needs and projects that is the result of a “lengthy, exhaustive and involved process” that is “defensible and consistent with … the community’s priorities.” Noah said he was aware of MiraCosta’s proposed bond to improve aging facilities at the college’s three campuses, which was based on a 20-year comprehensive

master plan. MiraCosta’s boundaries include Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and Carmel Valley. But Del Mar’s sudden interest in a bond measure last month came as a surprise, Noah said. “I know this was not on anybody’s radar,” he said. The issue is further complicated, Noah said, by already existing taxes on property owners for school facilities in Encinitas, Cardiff and Rancho Santa Fe. Noah said he would recommend proceeding with the bond measure, but if board members have “overwhelming concerns” about competing bonds, “then that would certainly cause me to rethink this.” His other concern is full board support for the initiative. “If I have wavering support, then I think that would cause us to pause,” he said. The GO bond requires a super-majority – 4-1 or 5-0 – for a governing board to place the measure on the ballot. “It’s important for me to know whether we have sufficient support at this point to move forward,” he said. “I believe we do, but I want to hear that.” The San Dieguito Union High School District serves more than 12,000 students in grades 7 through 12 and encompasses North County’s coastal region from Carmel Valley and Del Mar in the south, east to Pacific Highlands Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe, and north to the southern edge of Carlsbad.

Bond project cost estimates Twenty-eight members of a San Dieguito Union High School District long-range facilities planning task force, created in 2008, met regularly to review student demographics, economic trends, housing development and other factors to determine district facilities needs for the next 50 years. In addition to technology, task force recommendations of proposed projects include modernization, capital improvements, demolition, expansion of existing facilities and new school construction. The district is considering a General Obligation bond to raise about $448 million to fund the projects listed here. In the southern portion of the district the total comes to about $167.3 million, and in the northern portion the total is about $168.4 million – not including new construction and district-wide costs. Following are cost estimates for projects the bond money would fund: Middle Schools ($94.9 million): •Carmel Valley -- $8.9 million •Earl Warren -- $35.1 million •Diegueno -- $30 million •Oak Crest -- $20.9 million High Schools ($260.8 million): •Canyon Crest Academy -- $35.2 million •Torrey Pines -- $88.1 million •San Dieguito Academy -- $76.2 million •La Costa Canyon -- $41.3 million New Construction: •middle school in La Costa Valley -- $15.5 million •middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch -- $71.1 million (includes land purchase) Other: •Sunset/North Coast alternative schools -- $10.5 million •District-wide technology -- $18 million

‘The way you live your life is important because you don’t know when it will be over’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY She was just a child in Bangkok, Thailand, when she was exposed to a shocking scene during the Vietnam War. Her father, an American Air Force officer, was stationed at Dong Muang Air Base and would take her and her brother into the office with him. One day, a plane landed and she watched as body bags were unloaded, one after another. Her father told her to never forget that “young people are the ones who bear the brunt of war.” This distinctive childhood memory was present years later, in 1993, when she answered a handsome young officer’s proposal with, “Ask me to marry you again when we’re not in a war zone.” Earlier, in 1990, they had met in Puerto Rico – she on a drug interdiction assignment for the Air Force and he, her Navy counterpart. “I didn’t particularly like him at first — he wasn’t my type.” However, she admired that he was hardcharging and had a plan and soon began to fall in love.

For Lieutenant Hal Pittman, it was immediate attraction for this dark-haired beauty. “She was outgoing, fun and adventurous.” Another assignment called her away from Puerto Rico and Hal. Ahead, a noble legacy was to continue. Rebecca Lynn Feaster is a descendent of generations of American military service members, starting with the Continental Army, to later include Confederate forces, and she is African-American. Rebecca says, “If you really love your country, you serve it. With greatness comes sacrifice. It’s not just about taking and taking.” Because she’s spent so much time overseas — her entire life entwined with the military — she believes, “This is the greatest country on the planet. To be born in the United States, you’re in the top 5 percent of the world’s population in relation to accessible resources and opportunities.” With this, she considers, “How do you give and live your life so it’s an exemplary one?” Rebecca’s father, a re-

tired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, joined the military because he was a black man in the 1950s who had a college degree and few chances to use it in civilian society. Her sister Hilary is an Air Force Lt. Colonel on the rise, currently serving in Afghanistan. Rebecca and her siblings learned from their father to do the right thing, work hard, and to pursue something they had a passion for. After attending middle and high schools in Wethersfield, Conn., Rebecca considers herself blessed to have received her commission through an ROTC scholarship that helped her earn an economics degree at Tufts University. From there she joined the Air Force as a munitions officer, but it wasn’t her passion. Thankfully, a senior officer allowed Rebecca to change career fields and get into public affairs. Rebecca and Hal’s careers crossed again during deployments to the Gulf and Saudi Arabia in 1992. “Our paths were going to

collide, no matter what geography was between us.” So after a two-and-a-halfyear courtship, when somehow they knew “the time was right,” she left the Air Force and became a Navy wife. Rebecca has been with Rear Admiral Pittman most of his career. She tells young women, “If you’re thinking of marrying someone in the military, this life is not for everyone.” There are career and school shifts, quick moves, financial cutbacks, months of separation, and daily frustrations. She adds, “You’ll often be a single parent. You won’t hear from them every day and when they come back you have to step into a secondary role on how to run things and that takes huge adjustments.” The October 2000 suicide bombing of the guided missile destroyer, the USS Cole, was a refining fire in more ways than one for Rebecca. “My husband called from the Pentagon saying, “There’s been a terrible accident. Sailors are dead. I’ve got to go.” I was in grad school, we had a newborn that was teething and re-

New Canyon Crest Academy Farmers Market kicks off this week

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING A new weekly farmers market is coming to Canyon Crest Academy on Thursdays starting today, May 17. Fresh produce and yummy eats will be offered from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the new Pacific Highlands Farmers Market, a California certified market, which ensures everything is grown within the state. Located at the corner of the lot closest to the Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road intersection, the market will benefit the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation. “We’re excited about it. There’s no grocery store in that area so we’re giving people an alternative to get fresh produce, reaching out to the community and supporting the school,” said Marty Foltyn, vice president of marketing for the foundation. “It seemed like CCA fine arts conservatory a win-win for both the Farmers Market and the Founstudent Lauren Barth designed dation and also for the community. We hope to build the logo for the new Pacific some momentum in the last months of school.” Highlands Farmers Market. Ron LaChance, who also runs the Leucadia and Mira Mesa markets, said the Mira Mesa market is also held at and supports Mira Mesa High School. “Mira Mesa is very similar, school gets out and it’s a built-in customer base for students, parents and faculty to run in and shop,” LaChance said. “Having it at a school helps new markets get off the ground.” There will be 10 certified growers at the Canyon Crest opening, including goat cheese and beef from a cattle ranch. “There will be lots of great produce, some organic,” LaChance said. “All of the vegetables are busting out in season right now, like peaches, apricots, blueberries — and cherry season just started. It’s the perfect season to start the Pacific Highlands Farmers Market.” The market will include specialty vendors providing items such as cupcakes, marinades and salsas. There will be regular tented food vendors selling pulled pork, salads, sandwiches, veggie wraps, gyros and seafood, including baked clams, oysters on the half shell and even sea urchin. A rotation of food trucks will also visit. “We hope it becomes a regular thing for people to come and eat dinner and get their produce for the next week,” LaChance said. LaChance said there will also be a vendor with potted herbs and fruit trees, who can also provide information for people who are interested in home gardens. CCA students also hope to be a part of the market, with musicians providing live music. “It’s a neat plus for the students to be involved,” LaChance said. A website is being developed but people can learn more at the market’s Facebook page at facebook.com/pacifichighlandsfarmersmarket

New Rimel’s Bar and Grill serves savory, slow-roasted specialties BY KELLEY CARLSON imel’s Bar and Grill takes a natural approach with its dining experience, from the wood and stone decor to the antibiotic- and hormone-free meats. Named for owners Matt and Jacqueline Rimel, there are three locations to serve customers in San Diego County: Del Mar Highlands, the newest and largest; Cardiff, which shares a roof with Zenbu; and the tiny, original site in La Jolla at 7660 Fay Ave. While the interior is similar in each, the La Jolla menu differs from the other two restaurants. The establishments all feature a “clean” approach, primarily using stone and wood for the furniture, floors and walls. Meats, poultry, game and seafood are slow-roasted over a wood-fired grill, with oak from Palomar Mountain. At the Del Mar Highlands location, guests can sit at a long bar (known as the Cooks Line) and observe the roasting and food preparation process, perhaps to gather input for their own meal selections. It’s a casual, rustic atmosphere that attracts everyone from businessmen in suits to beachgoers in “sandals, T-shirts and sand between the toes,” General Manager Tim Casinelli said. “We’re OK with either. We want to make (Rimel’s) comfortable and inviting to everybody.” Families also find the restaurant welcoming, with crayons and a special menu for the little ones. They can choose from such fare as chicken bowls containing rice, chicken and broccoli; quesadillas; grilled cheese; hot dogs made from grass-fed beef; and bean-and-cheese burritos. “We love having families in here,” Casinelli said, noting they often hang out in Rimel’s until about 7:30 p.m. Then there’s the happy hour crowd. Customers take advantage of specials and appetizers, like Calamari Rings and

They can also socialize at community tables. Couples on dates may request a quiet table to enjoy each other’s company, Casinelli said. Regardless of where one sits, the full menu is offered throughout the establishment, and selections are the same for lunch and dinner. According to Casinelli, the most popular item by far is the Rotisserie Chicken Veggie Bowl, a combination of wok’d

vegetables and cooked chicken on a bed of rice. But because of its size, it’s served on a plate rather than in a bowl. Rimel’s signature Rotisserie Chicken — roasted for 1.5 hours — is offered in quarter- and half-portions, and comes with sides such as chipotle black beans and jasmine or brown rice. Burgers and sandwiches are also available, along with line-caught, fresh fish, from local halibut to white seabass and yellowtail. For guests looking to avoid gluten, some of the choices include Fish Tacos topped with salsa fresca, cabbage and Mateo’s Spicy Spread; Matt’s Wedge Salad, a mixture of iceberg lettuce, applewood smoked bacon, bleu cheese, tomato, red onion, avocado and bleu cheese dressing; and of course, chicken. For a little variety, patrons may look to the chalkboard specials posted on the wall. Some items that can be found are Blackened Ahi Tacos, soups such as Tortilla Verde and Chicken Lentil, the $5 beer of the month, specialty drinks, and desserts including Chocolate Lava Cake and Housemade Cheesecake.

Crystal Apple Award winners The 19th Annual Crystal Apple Awards Ceremony was held on May 10 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Each school in the San Dieguito and the Rancho Santa Fe School District had a winning educator. The nominations come from almost 200 students who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The students each choose a favorite educator, then write and submit a recommendation letter, which often conveys their gratitude to a particular teacher for taking the time to reach out to them individually.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Artist’s new pieces reflect experience during Japan’s earthquake, tsunami BY KAREN BILLING Local sculptor Maidy Morhous expresses herself best with her hands, molding clay into meaningful works that later become coated in bronze. “Artists want to hide behind their work, they want their work to speak for them,” Morhous said. As such, she’s hesitant to sit down for an interview, even though once you get her started talking about art, she speaks enthusiastically and passionately and could go on forever. “I get rather excited when talking about art,” Morhous said. “Creating for me is my whole essence.” A member of the San Diego Museum of Art’s Artist Guild board, Morhous was also recently inducted into the National Association of Women Artists and will have a show of her work in New York in September. A few years back, Morhous began a program called “Art for Us” as a way to use her artwork to give back. She’s donated pieces to Scripps Foundation (her work is on display at the Carmel Valley clinic), Rady’s Children’s Hospital

and The Alzheimer’s Foundation. She picks organizations and places where her art can be enjoyed by the community, not hidden on an office shelf somewhere. Her next “Art for Us” pieces carry a very emotional meaning, reflecting Morhous’ time in Japan last March during the earthquake and tsunami. She was in the middle of Sendai, Japan, when the earthquake hit and watched the tsunami from their hotel room TV. They were unable to fly out for three weeks. She is currently work-

ing with a representative to find placement in Sendai for the three sculptures she’s created by March 2013. The first piece, “Mamoru,” portrays a woman running with a look of terror on her face. “I would see these photos of women clutching their children and running,” Morhous said. “It was pretty devastating.” The second, “Sendai,” is a figure crumpled on the ground with water rushing over it, representing how the city felt completely overwhelmed by the tsunami.

“Fukkou,” the last piece, represents resurgence, that the city’s residents will resurrect their lives and persevere. The figure in the sculpture is pushing itself up and rising from the water. “The Japanese people are phenomenal,” said Morhous. “I dedicated these sculptures to the people of Sendai, so future generations and visitors alike will not forget the devastation the community endured.” Morhous became interested in creating art at a young age. Her mother was an artist and would always have craft projects for her to do and she got used to making three-dimensional art. Art wasn’t something she necessarily picked or started to do, it was just something in her. “To me, life is creativity,” Morhous said. “I can’t imagine being in any other field Morhous received her masters of fine art in sculpture and printmaking, drawn to the challenge of the printmaking technique. “I thought for sure I would get a job teaching at the college level, but at the time there were no jobs in California,” Morhous said.

‘Fukkou’ is one of Maidy Morhous’ pieces for Japan to remember the tsunami of 2011. COURTESY PHOTO With no teaching gigs available she moved directly into a job as a professional printmaker, represented by an international gallery in Beverly Hills that bought every thing she did. She was commissioned for print works, as well, through the gallery. “I got burned out because with commissions you’re not doing what you want to do,” Morhous said. “I’m an artist’s artist. I want to do what I want to do, I don’t want to do something just to sell work.” In time, life took over—she got married and had two children, which took her away from her art a little bit, but for the last 10 years she has been seriously devoted to sculpture. Along with her husband, she’s a world traveler,

finding inspiration for her art in different places and cultures. In addition to sculpture, Morhous also enjoys photography and plays the cello. “The arts to me are everything,” she said of her dabbling in the different art forms. “It’s just a high, it’s exciting.” Morhous’ studio in her home is a small space that comes with an ocean view. She creates all her work in clay and then they go through the lost-wax casting process before they are bronzed. She has a foundry that does all the molds and pouring. Morhous has to be meticulous about crafting the texture of her clay sculp-

Pacific Ridge School opens doors to Athletic Center Pacific Ridge School has reached a new milestone in its plans for campus expansion: the opening of its Athletic Center. The Carlsbad nonprofit, independent school, which opened in 2007 and includes grades 7-12, celebrated its opening with more than 1,000 fans in attendance. Pacific Ridge School reached this expansion goal thanks to the tremendous success of its Breaking New Ground fundraising campaign and the early completion of its energy-efficient high school building. The 35,236 sq. foot Athletic Center is one of the largest and most state-of-the-art high school athletic centers in Southern California. The athletic center includes three regulation basketball/volleyball courts, training room, dance/yoga studio, state-of-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 serves as a Hall of Fame, showcasing photo and video montages on five flat-panel displays of the school’s athletic, academic, arts, global and service achievements.

This formula consists of three tonic herbs and three calming herbs. Together these correct the deficiencies in the kidney, liver, and spleen, therefore strengthen these vital organs.

A new restaurant opened in Solana Beach on May 8, but only for one night. As part of the Kids Cafe cooking class at the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle, 11 children ages 5 to 12 put on a four-course meal, start to finish, for nearly 50 people — mainly their parents and friends — and they called their one-night cafe the “Moustache Freshtaurant.” The kids spent a month learning the basics of healthy cooking from instructor Amanda Curry, the center’s director and also the host of the SD4 cooking show “The Good Food Factory.” During that time, the kids not only came up with all the recipes themselves, but they learned how to entertain a crowd. “The kids all arrived, washed their hands and got started in the kitchen with Amanda,” said Patti Keyes, the creative director of the cooking show. “They knew exactly what to expect. They had teams with their own jobs. They cleaned and set the tables … They had candles on the tables and the whole time all I could hear was giggles and laughter.” On the menu was a “funky freschetta” appetizer, a mango and quinoa “freshalad,” a “rocking’ chicken and edgy veggies,” and homemade ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Curry said one of the “most magical moments” of the entire experience was when one of the kids rattled off the entire menu by heart the previous week during a practice class. “He knew every single ingredient, word for word, and finished with ‘Enjoy your meal’,” said Curry. “You could tell he had been practicing it at home.”

Twenty percent of ticket sales went back to the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle, housed under the Boys and Girls Club and located at 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Curry said she plans on holding another Kids Cafe class in the summer, in which the kids will get to once again create and name their own cafe.

See Beneath Inc. helps children with autism reach communication milestones BY KELLEY CARLSON See Beneath Inc. has surfaced as one of the newest resources for children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders. The organization, officially established as a nonprofit in January, plans to offer educational tools for children diagnosed with, or at risk for, the developmental disabilities and their families. It provides ways for parents to help their kids reach milestones in social skills and communication — areas impacted by ASD. An animated video titled “Aiko & Egor” is See Beneath’s first product, which follows a purple whale and a bright orange blowfish in their underwater adventures. The pilot episode focuses on object imitation, gross motor imitation and gesture imitation, with a goal of effectively teaching children one skill from each category, according to See Beneath cofounder Gerin Gaskin. “We’re creating an opportunity (for learning) in the home setting,” Gaskin said. The team behind See Beaneath is composed of local residents — and room-

Research Program as early childhood interventionists. Gaskin had worked with adults with disabilities for three years and volunteered at the Autism Center for Excellence before taking on her current position. Hoffman, who also serves as the research program’s lab coordinator, earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from UCSD and is now working on his master’s of global leadership at the University of San Diego. Turner is the owner of event/flower design studio Blackbird Flowers in Encinitas, and has assisted a number of nonprofits through art direction and project management over the years. In addition, he has written and performed educationbased materials for more than 10,000 children. It was personal experience that inspired Gaskin’s work in autism research, and eventually helped lead to the creation of See Beneath. When her brother was a child, he was diagnosed with autism, a developmental disability that causes problems with social interaction and communication. Symptoms tend to vary for each individual, and can range from mild to

Consequently, they moved all around the country, and over time discovered that California was one of the best locations for resources. This challenge eventually served as motivation for Gaskin to take action. “It’s inspired us ... to reach people who don’t have 12 hours of therapy allotted to them every week,” said Gaskin. The idea to form a nonprofit began several years ago, after she and Turner led a food drive. When it proved successful, the two — who have been close friends for the last six years

— began brainstorming about other projects on which they could collaborate. Reaching out to the autism community seemed to be the natural choice, after they realized there weren’t many learning tools available for young children diagnosed with the disability. Gaskin had been working alongside Hoffman at UCSD, treating children under the age of 3 who were at risk for autism. And Turner had plenty of experience with nonprofits. “I thought we should all come together and make (this) happen,” Gaskin said.

SB art exhibit sheds light on stories of Hmong tribal life Historic story clothes created by refugees after ‘The Secret War’ BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

In the 1960s, the United States employed the tribal Hmong people to fight what’s now known as “The Secret War” in the highlands of Laos. And as the Southeast Asia conflict, which coincided with the Vietnam War, wound down in defeat for the native mountain people, they fled refugee camps in Thailand, where many stayed for decades. Much of what we know of the Hmong people’s experiences comes from detailed story cloths they embroidered while in the Thai camps, and one local couple — Roger and Nancy Harmon — has managed to collect and preserve a variety of them, which will be presented on May 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito (UUFSD). The event will also feature a detailed explanation of the cloths by the Harmons, a photo exhibition and a presentation by Bob Montgomery, who has worked for more than 35 years with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and serves as the executive director of the San Diego Resettlement Office. Proceeds from the

event will be donated to “My Library,” an education project for underserved Hmong and other youth in Laos. Roger Harmon’s love affair with Laos and its people dates back to the late 1960s, when he orchestrated a language program there that focused on teaching English to Hmong people who were being brought as refugees to the United States. In exchange for their mountain know-how and fighting on the side of the U.S., Roger said, the U.S. government gave them rice. “Eventually they had to flee into neighboring Thaliand because they became targets themselves,” said Roger. “We put them in harm’s way and we had a responsibility to help them rebuild their lives here in the United States.” While in Thailand, Roger noticed the colorful, intricately-designed story cloths hanging from bamboo poles in front of many houses. “The knocked me out,” said Roger. “I had never seen anything like them. They were beautiful.” Nancy added that the Hmong people had always been well-versed in embroidery work and handicrafts, but they didn’t make story cloths until they were pent up for 25 years or more as refugees surviving a deadly war. “It wasn’t until they

were in the camps that they had a story to tell,” she said. The Harmons are members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito, and were thrilled when the Solana Beach church’s publicity chair, Irving Himelblau, approached them about doing an art exhibit there. Every few months, the church puts on a new exhibit and every month proceeds from church collections benefit a different cause. The church is also very involved in service work such as Habitat for Humanity, via the church’s social action committee. “If there’s any strong pillar of justice here, it’s with the social action committee,” said Himelblau, adding that the Hmong story cloth exhibit and associated “My Library” cause was a perfect addition to the church event schedule. “This exhibit just felt really good, especially given the cause and the historical aspect,” Himelblau said. Refreshments at the two-hour event will be served and Montgomery will be speaking about the contemporary refugee situation here in San Diego. His IRC office is located in City Heights, which, along with Chula Vista, has a large refugee population. For more information, visit www.uufsd.org or call (858) 755-9225.

The New Youth Orchestra and founding conductors Miguel Ramirez, John Ramirez and Elena Yarritu are looking for members. PHOTO: KAREN BILLING

Young musicians wanted for The New Youth Orchestra BY KAREN BILLING A trio of local musicians has recently founded The New Youth Orchestra and the call is out for talented young musicians to fill the chairs. “We’re relying on our students and the interest of the community to build something in our backyard,” said co-founder Elena Yarritu, a Carmel Valley flutist. Yarritu teamed up to create the orchestra with violinists John and Miguel Ramirez, who own San Diego String Instruments in Sorrento Valley. All three are very active in the private music instruction community and have many students in the North County area. “We’ve all been looking for opportunities for our students and there’s a limited amount out there right now,” Yarritu said. “There’s a real need for something like this in the community and a huge interest.” The orchestra has openings in all sections: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion in elementary, intermediate and advanced levels ages 6 to 18. There is no application fee for auditions, which are scheduled May 26-28 and June 2-3 at San Diego String Instruments, 10855 Sorren-

to Valley Road, suite 2. For audition requirements and an application, visit thenewyouthorchestra.com The trio brings a lot of quality musical experience to the group. Yarritu performs frequently in the area and is a member of the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, as well as being on the faculty of the San Diego Symphony and Conservatory. Her passion lies in teaching and she has conducted since she was 16 years old. The Ramirez family has been involved in the music education scene in San Diego since 1968, beginning with John’s pioneering father Margarito. John and his son Miguel consider themselves the caretakers of his musical legacy. The Ramirezes also play most string instruments, the guitar and Miguel also sings. Miguel said that playing in an orchestra offers a “completely different experience” than just one-oneone lessons with your music teacher. “There’s the social interaction with other kids,” Miguel said. “The kids are working as a team to build something, taking each one of their skills and making it work together to make something great.”

With the orchestra, students will learn to play a variety of musical styles from Mozart to more contemporary pieces. There will be special and unique kinds of performances, but the group is keeping their ideas close to the vest for now; they promise it will be something different than what anybody else is doing. They plan to have a string orchestra, band/wind ensemble, wind group and full orchestra. Practices are expected to be held once a week on Saturdays, building up to two concerts a season. John said it’s important that the orchestra be a support system for what the young musicians are doing in school programs or with private lessons. They hope the New Youth Orchestra will encourage a stronger interest in music, getting musicians practicing and wanting to improve, not only enhancing their school programs, but getting youngsters to “reach higher potential in their playing.” “It’s a win-win for everybody: private teachers, students and schools,” said Yarritu. “It all ties together.” For audition information and more, visit thenewyouthorchestra.com

The new Twenedrase Library will serve the general community and the K-8th grade students in the local school. The book drive, which ran through April at the Solana Beach Library, was a huge success, and the team of Teen Korps students, parents and library volunteers collected and packed 15 boxes, including well over 1,000 books and other educational materials. The boxes were mailed to Ghana on May 7. For more information on the African Library Project or to inquire how to start your own book drive, please go to: www.africanlibraryproject.org.

Jean Isaacs opens the door to intergenerational dance BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Choreographer Jean Isaacs, artistic director of San Diego Dance Theater, has been a presence on the local dance scene for almost 40 years. Last year, at age 67, she decided to explore the possibility of incorporating older dancers into her work. She began with a weekly class for people over 60 called “Aging Creatively with Dance,” which included journaling as well as movement. With no time to teach another class herself, she turned it over to Yvonne Gagliardo, a Dance Theater associate who uses Isaacs’ iconic dance moves. The class quickly attracted about 20 attendees from all over the county, some of them longtime dance students who could no longer keep up with the usual classes. Isaacs saw the potential for an interesting public performance, and started rehearsing with the seniors in their second hour of class. Along the way, she joined forces with Kira Carillo Corser, a photographer and videographer who had just received a San Diego

The results will be on view this weekend at the world premiere of “The Door is Open: An Intergen-

erational Dance Project,” a full-scale production at City College Saville Theater, featuring 12 dancers ages 6084 (two men and 10 women) sharing the stage with nine of Dance Theatre’s young pros.

Among the senior dancers is Rosemary KimBal, a Cardiff artist who specializes in Zen brush painting. She happened to be taking a class at Dance Theater’s home in Liberty Station when Isaacs was starting the Aging Creatively program. “I’d known Jean for years, but had no clue I’d ever be dancing with her,” KimBal said. “After about six months of classes, when she said we were going to be in their next performance, I thought: In your dreams! But once I decided I’m in, I’m totally in!” The piece includes changing digital projections, interviews with the dancers, and a score by Isaac’s husband, Steve Baker, which mixes meditational music, pop songs from the 1920s and ‘30s, plus ‘60’s rock-and-roll. It runs about 66 minutes — a significant number for seniors, whose first full year of Medicare comes at age 66 — and the older dancers are onstage the whole time. There are several duets pairing young and older dancers. “I love mixing it up like that, and the danc-

ages. And there may well be a sequel next year. But Isaacs has other intergenerational projects in the works. “For now, I’m taking a break from choreography,” she said. “I’ve got two grandbabies coming this month and my other daughter’s getting married in June. So I need to pay attention to that!”

Local resident uses performance art to put sexual assault awareness ‘in motion’ BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

When Isabella Konold watched “Born Into Brothels,” a documentary about the kids of Calcuttan prostitutes being born into the red light district, she was so moved that she wanted to do something about the problem. “The idea of anybody, especially a child, being forced over and over again against their will, I got really passionate about that,” said Konold, a local resident. “I couldn’t just sit there and do nothing.” Just as the performances of those in a work of film inspired her, she thought she may be able to utilize performance to spread awareness and inspire others. Being a professional ballroom dancing instructor, she realized about five years ago that she could use her art of performance in a positive way — and that’s how Humanity In Motion was born. The idea at first was to literally get in motion for humanity’s sake by having ballroom dancing competitions, in which proceeds would benefit organizations helping exploited children. Jump forward several years, and the organization has taken on a new mission and broader cause. “I didn’t want the scope of what we do to be limited to just children,” said Konold. “That’s not what Humanity In Motion is. It’s really about shifting the global paradigm in terms of how women are treated in the world and, more importantly, how we are

treated as human beings.” The organization is focusing on not only dance, but all types of performance art. The group is putting on the last local production of the Vagina Monologues on Thursday, May 17, at 6 p.m. at the Carlsbad Theatre, and it’s Konold’s second year to host the play. She also held an art and music fundraiser at the W Hotel last year, with proceeds benefiting a domestic violence shelter in Thailand, and she has a dance performance in the works that will shed light on rape. According to V-Day, a global movement focusing on violence against women, one in three women will experience rape in their lifetime. The proceeds from Vagina Monologues will fund the upcoming dance performance, which Konold said will be an eye-opening work of choreography that will not only depict the world of sexual assault but contain a sister piece illustrating the related healing process women go through. “Things like dance and film create immediate impact, not only for the audience, but also for the performer,” said Konold. “We’re creating a transformative experience for everyone involved, across the board.” Not only is the Vagina Monologues part of the global V-Day movement, but this particular performance is special because several of the actresses are victims of sexual assault. “It’s a healing process for them, just being part of the show,” said Konold, who said she is still healing from experiencing sexual

PATRIOT continued from page B2 plied, “You’ve got to be kidding me?” Rear Admiral Pittman was sent to the grizzly bombing scene in Yemen with the Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST) when he got a call at his hotel. Rebecca relates, “I was having an extremely frustrating day telling him, ‘I don’t like the military. I hate the Navy and I can’t believe you’re there.’ He said to me in the calmest voice, “Listen, you’re doing a great job at home. Now, there’s a potential suicide bomber threat in this hotel and we have to put mattresses on the windows. Can I call you back?” “He was so kind and sweet and loving,” which made her think, “Oh no, the last thing this man’s going to hear from me is this horrifying rant.” She hung up the phone and was scared. In 2004, Hal, then based at Central Command, was with General Abizaid’s team visiting an Iraqi police station in Fallujah when a handful of snipers attacked.

Rebecca heard from one of Hal’s mentors at the Pentagon, “We think everything is fine. If there were [American] injuries, we’d know about them.” But there were hours wondering if her husband was safe. Later, Hal emailed asking if they had enough life insurance on him. Rebecca says, “We [in the military] have to prepare for doing this life without our soul mates.” Rebecca’s own mother has been a role model on making the most of hard situations. Rebecca has turned trials to triumphs with a selfmade business. Utilizing her master’s degree in international public policy from John Hopkins University and years working in public affairs, she works with executive and community groups across the U.S. on how to handle crises. She delivers more than a dozen courses and her personal favorite (which is often requested) is about understanding Islam, backed by her studies and having lived as a Christian in Muslim countries such as Bah-

assault as a child. Both healing and spreading awareness also come from the open door Humanity In Motion creates for victims to get involved and become a part of future performances. Konold said one of the most personally fulfilling aspects of Humanity In Motion is when women approach her to get involved and share stories they’ve never shared with anyone. “There can be so much secrecy and shame around being a victim of sexual assault,” she said. “To provide a space for women to be totally OK, honored and accepted, and know there is freedom inside of storytelling, it’s an honor.” To find out more about Humanity In Motion, contact Konold at isabella@humanity-in-motion.org or by calling (858) 876-8232.

rain and Saudi Arabia. Her love and joy is being part of the Feaster-Pittman team in support of their 13-year-old son Evan, unusually gifted in music and athletics. He’ll answer his mom’s question about his day at school with, “Let’s not talk about school. What happened in the world today?” The former young Navy Lieutenant describes his wife, the reluctant former Air Force officer as, “warm, open and kind, yet practical. I don’t know anyone I’d rather hang out with.” She says marrying her persistent suitor was, “the very best decision I’ve ever made. I’m blessed to have him in my life.” They’re moving on to the next challenge as Rear Admiral Pittman retires. “We still have a son to get through college.” From a shocked little girl overseas to a woman contributing much to her country, Rebecca advises, “The way you live your life is important because you don’t know when it will be over.”

Kids Korps members build bikes, hold flower sale and more Kids Korps USA’s “Teen Task Force: Bike Build 2012” On Sunday, April 22, in celebration of Global Youth Service Day (and Earth Day!), 50 volunteers gathered to assemble brand new bikes for 25 children from the Clairemont Boys and Girls Club, along with leading safety demonstrations, and promoting healthy and environmentally-friendly transportation! Teen Korps Leaders (ages 12-18), along with millions of other young people around the world created positive community change during Global Youth Service Day weekend—the world’s largest and longest-running service event celebrated in more than 100 countries. “Congratulations and thanks to the young people of Kids Korps USA, for their work to improve their community,” said Steven A. Culbertson, YSA president and CEO. “On Global Youth Service Day, the world stands in awe as we see what’s possible when kids take the lead as problem-solvers.” Kids Korps USA was delighted to support our Teen Korps Leaders through the project-creation and implementation process, and is proud to recognize the positive impact that young people have on their communities 365 days a year!

Kids Korps Teacher Appreciation Flower Sale By Samantha Frank, RSF Fourth Grade Student in Mrs. Joslyn’s Class The Kids Korps Teacher Appreciation Flower Sale was a tremendous success this year that created two opportunities for the students. The first was to show the teachers that we care about them and that we love to learn. The second was to raise enough money to pay for a number of Camp Pendleton families to attend their first Padre’s game. The students and parents had a great time this year. We had kids from kindergarten to eighth grade selling flowers just before the start of school at Rancho Santa Fe Elementary

Care, a nonprofit corporation that provides culturally competent and family focused services to child victims of abuse, neglect and abandonment. After hearing an overview from New Alternatives, Mrs. Joslyn’s class was very busy assembling the backpacks with all of the school supplies donated by the families in the classroom. For more information about New Alternatives Foster Care, go to their website at www.newalternatives.org During the event, the children added to their classroom chain of kindness,McLaren Martin and John a visual reminder within their classroom to Give Back Lockwood presenting a shiny bicycle to their new little to others less fortunate. friend.

The RSF Kids Korps’ job was to sell the flowers to other RSF students. We asked them to purchase a rose or carnation for their teachers, administration staff, maintenance staff and others to show the teachers and others how much we appreciate all they do for us. In the end, we sold out of 900 flowers in just about an hour, raising approximately $1,145. Wow, it was a big job but we loved doing it! We would like to thank everyone for their support in selling and buying as many flowers as they could to support these two very important events.

During this fabulous evening, you will learn how to safely realize and afford your travel dreams for trips from a weekend getaway to a month or more.

ARTIST continued from page B6 tures because the bronze will pick up any crinkle. “It’s not the ideas as much as the technique,” said Morhous of what takes the longest. Most of her subjects are human as she is drawn to the “sensuous curves of the human form.” Her favorite piece is always the last piece she’s done and, these days, Morhous is try-

AUTISM continued from page B8 tools as competitive and accessible as possible, so video media seemed the best route,” Gaskin explained. In summer 2010, the team began to develop the characters, script and storyboards for the pilot episode of “Aiko & Egor.” Gaskin and Hoffman noted that many of the youths they had treated at UCSD enjoyed sea creatures, including one of the first children both therapists worked with, who was obsessed with purple whales. Subsequently, the whale became the inspiration behind the adventurous Aiko. Other characters followed, including the blowfish Egor, who inflates when he gets nervous, but then finds that everything will be OK; Wade, a seahorse who loves to play with friends; and Lydia the clam, a “soft, motherly type” who loves her baby pearl and encourages the characters to discover and explore. For the story plot, the group decided to focus on imitation — an important skill that children need in order to learn from others and their environment— with a target audience of ages 18 months to about 6 years. And to engage both parents and children, the trio decided to make some aspects of the cartoon silly. “We wanted to make

ing to be more abstract in her work. She typically spends about a month or two on individual pieces, usually having one or two in play at the same time, stepping back and making sure the sculpture is just right or good enough to be cast and bronzed. Some don’t make it past the clay stage. Her artwork is in both private and public collections nationally and internationally, and Morhous sure it’s enjoyable for parents, siblings, caregivers, grandparents -- the whole household,” Gaskin said. The next step was to recruit a team of animators to bring the idea to fruition, so the group advertised their need for volunteers on Craigslist. About 20 people agreed to assist with such tasks as animation, voiceovers and the creation of original music. Family and friends provided the characters’ voices, and Turner even contributed a lion’s roar. The 8 1/2-minute pilot was finally completed in September 2011, after a year of work. In order to raise funds to further develop See Beneath, Gaskin, Hoffman and Turner turned to Kickstarter, a Web site that serves as a funding platform for creative projects. They set a goal of raising $12,000 in 45 days; instead, they raised $14,000. In addition, the trio entered a couple of competitions, winning $7,000 through the USD Social Innovation Challenge and $2,500 in legal support from the UCSD Executive Summary Challenge. Gaskin said See Beneath is in the process of paying the volunteers for their time spent on the project. The nonprofit also is currently writing the first six episodes of “Aiko & Egor,” and hopes to have them completed by the end of the year. The episodes will focus on topics such as

hopes her fall show in New York is a step toward establishing herself more on the East Coast. Recognition however, is not what keeps her working. “The pride of being an artist is not from what one sells but the inner peace one derives from the act of creating,” Morhous said.
