Providing The Ranch with Three Decades of Quality Journalism

BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Santa Fe Irrigation District directors approved a $20.98 million operating budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 at their meeting on Thursday, June 16, which includes a 6 percent water rate increase. However, directors stressed they plan to reevaluate the district’s financial situation later this year to determine if the rate increase should be adjusted before it takes effect Jan. 1. The budget is based on a number of assumptions, including the amount of water the district will sell to its customers, how much of that water comes from local sources, and anticipated rate increases charged by its suppliers, the San Diego County Water Authority and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Under a rate plan approved by the board last year, water customers could see rate hikes of up to 36 percent over three years. A 12 percent increase took effect in February. At last month’s meeting, the board voted 3-2 to direct staff to prepare next year’s budget by building in a 6 percent rate increase, rather than the maximum 12 percent hike permitted under the rate plan. District officials have said a key reason for a series of

Water district directors considering plan to cut pension benefits for future workers BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Directors of the Santa Fe Irrigation District are considering whether to move ahead with a plan to cut pension benefits for future workers. The board discussed the issue at its June 16 meeting, then went into closed session to talk about negotiating such a change with the district’s employee bargaining group. No action was taken during the closed session, said district general manager Michael Bardin. The district could save a substantial amount of money on its annual operating budget if it does reduce employee pension benefits. For the fiscal year that

begins July 1, the district will pay 20.2 percent of its non-overtime payroll of $3.88 million — or $783,000 — in pension costs to the state-run CalPERS system, which administers pensions for Santa Fe district employees. In addition, directors have voted to pay off a $2.6 million debt to the pension system in two annual payments of $1.3 million apiece. The district’s total operating budget is $20.98 million. The district’s current annual cost for pensions, not including the lump-sum payments, is 14.7 percent of payroll. The district also pays 5.5 percent of its employees’ 8 percent pension share. That amount will

June 16 meeting BY KAREN BILLING New officers elected The Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors selected its new officers for the 2011-2012 year at its June 16 meeting. Jack Queen is now president, Dick Doughty vice president and Roxana Foxx is now treasurer. Golf Club social membership change approved The Rancho Santa Fe Association approved a change to the non-resident social membership at the Golf Club, reducing the time requirement for membership from 20 years to 10 years. The change brings it in line with the former resident associate golf membership that was approved in February. The non-resident social membership allows for Association members who had been in good standing for 10 years to continue to use dining facilities at the club after they have left the Covenant. The social membership category currently has 31 members. On average they use dining less than once a month. Member Dick Colbourne initiated the change with a request to the board. Colbourne said he knows a number of people who used to live in the Covenant and who now live in Solana Beach and Whispering Palms who would like to continue using the club to dine and socialize with friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only will it help the golf club income-wise but it allows for people to get back with people theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known a long time,â&#x20AC;? Colbourne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the community.â&#x20AC;? Long Range Plan accepted The Association board accepted a new Long Range Plan for Rancho Santa Fe on June 16. The plan, prepared by an ad hoc committee, serves as a guiding document and planning tool for the board and future boards over the next 10 years. The committee used the recent Association-wide survey results, past plans and the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010-11 goals and priorities to help develop the document. Anne Feighner, who helped create the 2000 plan in 1990, remarked on how useful the plans can be and how much they can accomplish. Out of the year 2000 plan came open space purchases, the planting of trees and designating Rancho Santa Fe as a historic place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope that this plan will lead to more success in the future.

Del Mar Highlands Town Center upgrade near completion â&#x20AC;˘New luxury theater set to open in late July BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Del Mar Highlands Town Center remodel project is entering the home stretch. The re-imagining is nearly complete and the center is 98 percent leased. (The center is located in Carmel Valley on Del Mar Heights Rd. and El Camino Real, just south of Rancho Santa Fe.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very excited for the San Diego community to experience the new Del Mar Highlands Town Center,â&#x20AC;? said Elizabeth Schreiber, general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We anticipate that the caliber of new restaurants and the opening of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first luxury movie theatre will help the center become the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it spotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for dining and entertainment in North County.â&#x20AC;? By July 15, the barricades will come down by the plaza and people will be able to walk through the upper and lower plazas and use the new escalator. Tenants will open up around the plazas through September, when there will be a big grand re-opening celebration on Sept. 9 and Sept. 10. The new movie theater, Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas, is set to open in late July. The center had renewed its lease with UltraStar with a new luxury theater concept but last November, UltraStar told them new buyers wanted to buy their lease and take over their renovation plan. Not only is Cinepolis taking over the plan but they even â&#x20AC;&#x153;stepped up the luxury level,â&#x20AC;? Schreiber said. The new theater will feature reserved seating in eight auditoriums with state-of-the-art and 3D technologies. Patrons can order food from their seat with a press of a button and the theater will offer a full bar, the first of its kind in San Diego. Also opening in late July will be BURLAP, the new restaurant on the corner from Brian Malarkey and James Bren-

Son and mother seek donations of children’s books to distribute on trip to Rwanda BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER A local mother and son are looking for children’s books to take with them on their volunteer trip to Rwanda in July. Narayan Gopinathan will be traveling to Rwanda accompanied by his mother Shuva to volunteer at a Rwandan school and they hope to get donations of books for elementary school-age children by July 1. Shuva said she thinks there are many local families who have books their children have outgrown. “This is an opportunity to clean out your closet,” Shuva said. Narayan, who will be a senior this fall at The Bishop’s School, will stay three weeks in Rwanda, one week longer than Shuva, and volunteer his time through the Nziza organization. Nziza is a non-profit founded by American Lori Peacock to promote cross-cultural exchanges between students in the U.S. and students in Rwanda and Southern Uganda. Narayan learned more about the opportunity to visit Rwanda from his aunt, who works in the capital city of Kigali for the Center for Disease Control. “I’ve always been interested in Africa and I’m really lucky I get to go this early in life,” Narayan said. At the school, Narayan will be helping the students with their reading and their English, improving their accents. The school just switched their main language from French to English so they have a great need for English

books to integrate into the curriculum. Mother and son said most people have a misconception about Rwanda that it is a very dangerous country—people are always asking them if they are scared to go there. Narayan said that the country has progressed since 1994, when genocide resulted in the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people. “It is a poor country but it is very peaceful now,” Narayan said. Narayan Gopinathan and Shuva While his focus Mukutmoni are looking for book will be on the school, he and his mother do donations for their trip to Rwanda. Photo/Karen Billing plan to do at least a little exploring on one weekend and see the gorillas in their natural mountain

A variety of musical entertainers will highlight the start of the Fourth of July weekend celebration for the entire family. Adding to the Festival will be a food court featuring BBQ hot dog, hamburgers, chicken and bratwurst, plus desserts, including an ice cream cart, and soft drinks. Also in the food court will be a beer, wine and mixed drinks bar. Items available in the food court are not included in the admission price.

habitat. Narayan said he has always been looking for a volunteer project he can be really passionate about and he thinks this one has great potential—he has always enjoyed playing with and tutoring the youngsters in his family. “Who knows, maybe I’ll get to go back to the school again,” Narayan said. Just before his trip to Rwanda, Narayan will be attending the week-long Student Climate and Conservation Congress (Sc3) at the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Conservation Training Center just outside of Washington DC. He has a great interest in economic development and environmental issues and wants to learn more. He believes that poverty can be solved but said he worries that it may come with a larger cost. “People might not really be able to do development to lift people out of poverty without harming the environment,” Narayan said. He is starting early on his education on important issues and policies and taking on volunteer opportunities to help create a better future.

The Breeders’ Cup announced June 17 that Craig Fravel, president and general manager of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, has been named president and chief executive officer of Breeders’ Cup Ltd. Fravel, 54, will assume his new role effective July 18. During Fravel’s time at Del Mar, he oversaw the $80 million reconstruction of the track’s grandstand in 1992-’93, and the $9 million installation of a new engineered racing surface, which was completed in 2007. He was also a driving force in enhancing the customer experience of a day at the races, incorporating a program of music and entertainment at Del Mar, helping to increase its reputation as one of the most popular international venues in sports. Fravel’s appointment comes at a time when the Breeders’ Cup has emerged from its most successful championships in its 27year history, drawing a record 114,353 fans over the two-day event at Churchill Downs, and handling more than $196 million in total wagers worldwide. Churchill Downs is also the site of this year’s Breeders’ Cup on Nov. 4, 5. “We are proud to have selected one of the most talented, innovative and respected individuals in our business to take the reins as the new Breeders’ Cup President and Chief Executive Officer,” said Breeders’ Cup Chairman Tom Ludt. “Craig’s value as a leader and expertise in so many areas will be a terrific asset to our company in the expanded global universe of the Breeders’ Cup.” “This business begins and ends with the horses and it is the charge of the Breeders’ Cup to make sure that our passion for breeding and racing is shared by the public,” said Fravel. “It has been a privilege to be associated with an organization such as Del Mar that represents the finest ideals of Thor-

Scripps Health breaks ground on cardiovascular institute Scripps Health officials celebrated the groundbreaking Tuesday of the $456 million Scripps Cardiovascular Institute, which they describe as “the cornerstone of a comprehensive master plan that will transform the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus and redefine health care in San Diego for the 21st century.” The institute, to be located adjacent to Scripps Memorial at 9888 Genesee Ave., will combine the cardiology programs of Scripps Memorial, Scripps Clinic/Scripps Green Hospital and Kaiser Permanente, making the facility the largest heart care provider in the region. Scripps and Kaiser Permanente, both non-profit health systems, recently extended their 30-year partnership by 10 years. Under the agreement, Scripps is the exclusive provider of cardiac surgery and interventional seruger for Kaiser members in the county. “Our vision is to build the world’s finest cardiovascular institute right here in San Diego – providing the The planned Scripps best in heart care for our community and serving as a destination for heart patients everywhere,” Scripps Presi- Cardiovascular Institute. dent and CEO Chris Van Gorder said in a press release. “Scripps Cardiovascular Institute will be a catalyst for collaboration, drawing on the clinical expertise of some of the nation’s most brilliant physicians and scientists, the most advanced technology and ground-breaking clinical research.” As part of its 25-year master plan for the La Jolla site, Scripps Health is replacing the existing hospital with three new hospital towers to meet state earthquake safety mandates. The first of these towers will serve as the hub of the Cardiovascular Institute. The seven-story, 383,000-square-foot tower is scheduled to open for patient care in 2015. It will include 108 in-patient beds in private rooms, 60 intensive care beds, six state-of-art operating rooms, and as many as six cardiac catheterization labs with the most advanced medical technology.

Accomplished local psychologist and author releases new mystery ‘Stolen Secrets’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR Sandra Levy Ceren, Ph.D., has not only a proven track record as a clinical psychologist dedicated to helping people achieve personal, relationship and professional goals, but she is now proving that she has talents beyond psychology in the craft of creating the mystery novel. Through her writings, Ceren, a local resident, is able to use her novel’s alter ego, Dr. Cory Cohen, as a creative vehicle to push the boundaries of reality into the exciting fictional world of counselor turned sleuth. Just published is “Stolen Secrets” [Modern History Press], Ceren’s latest book in an ongoing mystery series which started with “Prescriptions For Terror” published in 2000, and which will continue with “Imposter For Hire,” with an anticipated release this fall. The Dr. Cory Cohen mystery series serves as a literary outlet for Ceren, who has been a licensed psychologist for four decades but who has been,“Scribbling down stories for as far back as I can remember,” she

Sandra Levy Ceren, Ph.D. said. Ceren uses her knowledge of psychology to not only create a realistic world for her protagonist, Dr. Cory Cohen, a half Japanese, half Jewish, Del Mar-based psychologist, but to also get into the mind of the antagonists, making her plot lines believable. In “Stolen Secrets,” a patient in San Diego running for District Attorney is threatened by a midnight phone caller who knows her dirty secret: her fantasy of living as a prostitute. “This was a secret she shared only with her therapist, Dr. Cory Cohen,” Ceren explained, “And after confronting her

therapist about it, she vanishes.” As Dr. Cohen wrestles with her patient’s disappearance, the security breach and the potential harmful effects on other patients, events escalate, and the plot thickens. “A patient is blackmailed, Cory is stalked, and her quarters burgled, forcing her to escape an unseen enemy and sending her on a spiraling trail of deceit, betrayal, blackmail and murder,” Ceren said. The novel is, “A genuine page-turner in the best sense of the phrase. Ceren’s writing comes from experience. Her years as a psychologist have earned her a look at the darkness of the psyche and human behavior,” noted Edgar awardwinning author T. Jefferson Parker. Ceren also writes selfhelp, nonfiction books aimed to counsel those who may not be able to afford ongoing therapy. “Look Before You Leap” [Loving Healing Press, 2008] is intended for couples considering marriage who are unable to afford or locate an experienced premarital counselor. “Premarital counseling

is my specialty,” said Ceren, who wrote the book after many years of treating distressed married couples who could have benefited from counseling before marriage. “Many times couples go into relationships and have no idea what they want or what their roles should be; nor do they have good communication skills,” said Ceren. “Often times they rush into marriage and end up having problems down the road.” The book serves as an easy-to-use guide and contains quizzes that help couples understand their respective personalities, then prompts them to share their answers with each other.

There is a chapter on personality disorders, on what makes a good partnership, and an appendix that provides resources for the different types of therapy available. Ceren’s road to psychologist and novelist began when she entered college in her hometown of Brooklyn, New York, as an English major. Her first written assignment garnered her a “D” grade, which left her feeling a little down. However, a psychology professor offered to critique the paper and declared that he would have given it an “A” grade. Ceren immediately changed her major to psychology, which then changed the course of her life. She later went on to earn her Diplomate from the American Board of Family Psychology and became a fellow at the Academy of Family Psychology. As well as being a mystery author, Ceren has written numerous short stories, several of them published in anthologies, is a former newspaper columnist and a judge for the San Diego Book Awards Association, and is a professional book reviewer. She also pub-

lished, “Essentials of Premarital Counseling: Creating Compatible Couples [Loving Healing Press, 2008] written for those in the psychology profession.

Profile

Darryl D’Lima, M.D., Ph.D.

Orthopaedic surgeon who found his niche in research wins prestigious award for his work with the ‘e-knee’ BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN CONTRIBUTOR Scripps Clinic researcher Dr. Darryl D’Lima is a tall, good-looking chap, born in India, whose love of sports initially inspired him to become a physician specializing in orthopaedic surgery, but it didn’t stop there. His introspective nature and intellectual curiosity drew him into research, inspired him to earn a Ph.D. in bioengineering and led him to the forefront of knee replacement research in the U.S. The 51-year-old D’Lima, director of orthopaedic research at Scripps Clinic’s Shiley Center for Orthopaedic Research and Education (SCORE), was recently honored with the prestigious Nicolas Andry Award for his extensive body of research using an electronic knee prosthesis known as the “e-knee.” The $15,000 award, presented by The Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons on June 11 in Dublin, Ireland, will be used for fur-

ther research into knee replacements at SCORE. The e-knee is a customized knee replacement, costing about $75,000, designed specifically for research and outfitted with electronics that measure forces inside the knee while a patient participates in various activities such as walking, climbing stairs, exercising and even swinging a golf club. Scripps made history in 2004 when Dr. Clifford Colwell, current medical director of SCORE, implanted the world’s first e-knee into a patient at Scripps Green Hospital. Since 2004, three additional patients have received e-knees and have participated in Dr. D’Lima’s research. The newer implants measure forces in the knee during a patient’s rehabilitation after surgery. We interviewed D’Lima recently at Scripps Clinic’s research lab in La Jolla. D’Lima was born in Mangalore, India, His father was an artist who later went into business as a textile designer and his mother, who

in patients with arthritis. D’Lima’s team is also working on ways to repair cartilage lesions before a knee replacement is needed; and how to turn stem cells into cartilage-producing cells. “Research like ours is going to become increasingly important as health care reform begins and insurance companies demand proof of efficacy before offering reimbursement for treatment,” D’Lima said. One goal, D’Lima said, is to develop a “smart knee,” that will collect data and transmit it directly to patients on their cell phones so they can monitor their knee wear, make any changes in their activities necessary to lessen knee wear, detect infection, sound an alarm if there is a problem and forward the data to patients’ doctors and therapists. D’Lima anticipates that smart-knee prostheses will be available within three to five years, “if the FDA doesn’t make things too difficult for us.” “In the 1990s, engineers were designing knees to put in patients, but they didn’t know what sort of forces the patients would put on the knees. “They were designing knee replacements by trial and error.” And when a knee replacement failed, surgeons would have to re-operate on a patient.” For instance, D’Lima explained, if you design a bridge, you want to know what kind of loads it can carry. Unlike bridges and buildings, where you can put sensors and measure the loads, in the knees nobody had been able to put any sensors inside a living person. So all the data was either from cadaver research or mathematical computations. With cadavers, you couldn’t do anything active; you couldn’t simulate walking and mathematical models were only as good as the assumptions which were sometimes contradictory. One mathematical model predicted that every time you took a step, you put twice your body weight

on your knee joint. Another model predicted seven times your body weight. Data gathered from eknees in live patients confirmed that it was actually closer to twice your body weight. Knee replacements have been around since the 1800s. “They said, if a knee is diseased, we’ll take it out and put something new in. At that time, they worked with biological tissue such as pig bladder, and in the early 1900s, they tried wood and glass.” The first reasonably successful knee replacements were designed in the 1950s by British-born surgeon/inventor/teacher John Insall in New York City. Today, knee replacements have an 80 percent chance of lasting from 15 to 20 years, D’Lima said. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, approximately 581,000 knee replacements were performed last year in the U.S. and by 2014 more than half of those needing total knee replacements will be younger than 65 years old. Why so many? “Partly because of evolution,” D’Lima said. “From an evolutionary perspective, the average age of a human is [supposed to be] 30 years…so the body never evolved to the point where it had to survive past 30 years. Secondly, cardiovascular and neurological advances are keeping people alive longer. But the bones and joints are wearing out. It’s a mechanical problem.” The third problem has to do with lifestyle — more people getting into exercising; weekend warriors, people getting into marathons, biking, and wanting to continue these activities into retirement— so more people are suffering knee injuries. As a result, according to a study published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, we can anticipate the number of primary total knee replacements in the U.S. will to soar to an estimated 3.48 million annually by 2030.

Couple takes a chance; web design company now continues to grow and thrive BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER A local couple has found great success building a web design business, which started at their apartment kitchen table and now operates from a new 20,000-square-foot office building in Sorrento Valley. Yamia and Asaf Benhaim, 32, started Internet Matrix Inc. (iMatrix) in 2008, providing turn-key websites and Internet marketing services in the specific niche markets of the chiropractic, veterinary and dental industries. From just the two of them to now 57 employees, they moved into their new office building on May 31, with clients all over the U.S. and worldwide. “I don’t think it could get any better,” said Yamia as Asaf knocked heartily on the wood of his desk. The pair were both born in Israel and have lived in the United States since they were very young. They met while in college, Yamia at UC Riverside and Asaf at UC San Diego, the handiwork of their parents’ matchmaking. Out of college, Yamia became a top salesperson at Z57, a web design company, and Asaf was working at American Express as a financial advisor. Asaf, a self-described “big geek,” had always been very interested in computers and web design, playing around with just the basic web tools and making his own sites. When Yamia started talking about the things she was doing at work, Asaf was intrigued. He wondered why they couldn’t be doing the same on their own. They started to play around with the business with just friends as clients and it quickly became a passion. “We’d work all night,” Yamia said. “We loved it,” Asaf supplied. While Yamia was more adventurous and wanted to strike out full time on their own, Asaf was more cautious. With some money saved up and encouragement from Asaf’s father, they went for it—operating iMatrix out of their UTC apartment, working on the kitchen table and in the spare bedroom. They started getting too busy for their apartment, setting up 175 sites a month. The Benhaims moved their busi-

Yamia splits time between the office and home, raising their four children—she had twins Talia and Liam last year to join their 4 and 6-year-old sons Noah and Nathan. Asaf said the biggest challenge they have at iMatrix is keeping up with constantly changing technology. They make it a point to stay on top of the tech side for their clients and have plans on expanding their niche fields even further. Working side-by-side as husband and wife has come easy; in the beginning they promised each other never to talk about work outside of work but Yamia says it always seems to come up as they both enjoy it so much. “I get to work with my best friend, business partner, my husband and the father of my four children,” said Yamia. “I couldn’t be luckier.” “She’s what drives me, no doubt,” said Asaf. For more information, visit imatrix.com.

Yamia and Asaf Benhaim opened their new iMatrix office in Sorrento Valley on May 31. ness to an office in Mira Mesa with about 15 employees for about three years. When they outgrew that, they moved their 25 employees into a Sorrento Valley building for another three years, and when they were up to 45 employees, they moved to a building in Miramar. Last year the Miramar space was so crowded employees were working at

desks in the hallways, prompting the move to their new office on Huenekkans Street in Sorrento Valley. The two-story building is decorated in a fresh, modern style and Yamia’s favorite part is the open space where they hold meetings—on fold out bleachers. “We want it to feel like a team,” Yamia said.

The Santaluz Club launches ‘No Dues’ summer promotion With new memberships up 28 percent over this time last year, The Santaluz Club is experiencing renewed sales interest and member involvement. To support its positive momentum, The Santaluz Club is offering a special summer promotion called “Summer Fun! Dues … None!” “This is the first time in the history of The Santaluz Club that we’ve offered a no dues opportunity,” said General Manager Jim MacDonough. “We’ve created this phenomenal incentive as a way to support renewed interest in club membership.” The “Summer Fun! Dues … None!” program applies to both golf and spa/social memberships. Three months of free dues will be triggered when a contract is signed and can extend through the end of the year. Applicants for membership do not need to reside within the Santaluz community. For specifics on the “Summer Fun! Dues … None!” promotion at The Santaluz Club, contact Kelly Collins at 858-759-3109 or visit www.Santaluz.com for more information on the club.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe continues to grow and thrive BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe completed a $5 million dollar club renovation two months ago that brought the upscale, gated community into a new era: that of a favored community for young families. And despite the lagging economy, The Bridges continues to thrive, attracting new homeowners and club members. From eight vacant lots, the original developer retained four, on which a state-of-the-art recreation facility and tennis courts were constructed. “It’s a spectacular facility,” said Gordon Cooke, membership director and real estate sales agent. The facility includes five tennis courts, one of which is a sunken stadium court, a 2,000 sq. ft. clubhouse with a video game area and an arts and crafts area for children, as well as a tennis pro shop. In addition, a multi-use field with a bocce ball court has been built, as well as a playground with sand boxes, a barbecue area, and a dog park. The renovation

was undertaken to address a shift in demographics for the 540-acre exclusive Tuscan-style hillside community and its country club. When the development was in its planning phase 12 years ago, it aimed to appeal to an older demographic. “More of the empty nester, older couples,” said Cooke. But with younger families moving into the community the management wanted to retain them and attract more. In addressing this change in demography, management focused on members’ lifestyles, said Sean McCune, general manager. “We could see that both homeowners and club members were getting younger and younger, which created a very close knit, family-oriented community, with parents and children spending time together.

Members’ choices create a blend of grapes — harvested from the Cabernet, Brunillo and Sangiovse vines — that produce the following year’s wines. Members also help select the labels and barrel taste new vintages and they take several wine trips each year up to Napa wine country to educate themselves on the wine-making process. Each Thursday evening there is a complimentary wine tasting event for all members at the clubhouse. In addition to the vineyard, The Bridges is committed to sustainability in other areas. In “going green” it grows organic produce, which is harvested daily and used by executive chef Chris Buffin in the same day’s menu options. There are fruit trees and berries and what isn’t used from the season’s bounty is canned and jarred as jams and jellies for future

use. There is also an apiary that produces 600 pounds of organic orange blossom honey per year. On the social side, The Bridges Club offers live entertainment each weekend, and regular events and parties that take place mostly in the spring and summer, said McCune. Wayne Foster Entertainment will perform at the club’s annual mid-summer concert at the end of July. The recent success of The Bridges, even in the face of the recession, adds up to a staggering number in terms of sales. In the 11-year history of the project, $900 million worth of real estate has been sold, said Cooke. “We’ve had 231 homesites released and we’ve sold all but two of them,” he explained. “And on a membership perspective there are only 30 [memberships] left until they are sold out.” Visit the improved website www.thebridgesrsf.com to find out more about The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, and The Bridges Club or call Gordon Cooke at 858-7568055.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

June 23, 2011

Loïc Patisserie and Restaurant brings delicious French food, bread and pastries to Cielo Village in RSF BY MARLENA MEDFORD STAFF WRITER Cradled in the rolling hills of Cielo Village in Rancho Santa Fe sits Loïc Patisserie and Restaurant, which is a café by day on one side of the space and a bistro by night on the other. Things here are done a little differently — old fashioned, some would say. Every morning, all the pastries and breads are baked fresh, and come dusk, dinner is prepared using whatever’s in season at the local farmers’ market. Curled up with a warm croissant gazing over the grassy knolls, it’s easy to feel like you’ve slipped away to some distant back-country, which is precisely the point, said owner and chef Loïc Laffargue.

Owner and chef Loïc Laffargue “I’m trying to bring a little bit of France here,” said Laffargue, who was born and raised in the county, but now lives in Carmel Valley. He began his culinary apprenticeship at 13, following his love for the “artistic side of pastry,” an aesthetic appreciation he likely inherited from his mother, who was a painter. Her artwork, in fact, hangs throughout the café. “I’ve painted a few pieces as well, but they’re not nearly as good as my mother’s, so they’re hidden more toward the back of this place,” Laffargue adds jokingly. Instead, he’s chosen to stick to his forte in the kitchen, which has served him well, affording him the opportunity to travel the world. “Back when I was much younger, I had a lot more energy, so I would get a new job every six months because I bore so easily.” He spent his youth traveling all over France, delving deep into the regional cultures and cuisines. At 22, he decided it was time to learn English, so he packed up and headed north. He spent the next few years touring England, taking culinary jobs where he could land them, including one at an English pub so he could better under-

stand the culture through its beer. “I still serve local beer here at my restaurant because I strongly believe in supporting local business,” he said. It was during that stint in England that Laffargue happened upon a cruise ship brochure and thought Loïc Patisserie and Restaurant is located at 18021 to himself “’Hmm, Calle Ambiente at Cielo Village in Rancho Santa Fe.

Lydia Noble named Solana Santa Fe’s ‘Classified Person of the Year’

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Prudential is supporting the community to help address the village parking issues

BY STACEY PHILLIPS CONTRIBUTOR When there is a disagreement on the playground or students need assistance resolving friendship issues at Solana Santa Fe (SSF), Lydia Noble is often the first one called. This is her fifth year as the guidance assistant at the school and Noble was named this year’s “Classified Person of the Year.” “It’s an honor to be voted for by your colleagues that you work with every day,” she said. Noble was recognized during the Solana Beach School District’s annual end-of-year celebration held June 7 at the Del Mar Hilton. On a typical day, Noble meets with various groups of Lydia Noble children, teachers and parents. “That’s why I love this job so much because it is so varied,” said Noble. “I’m very lucky because I get to work with all of the staff and I get to know a lot of the children.” She said that she often feels like a detective, trying to figure out what is going on and describes her role as “helping children solve their own problems.” Originally from England, she obtained a joint honors degree in psychology and P.E. from the University of Birmingham in England. After graduating, she began teaching P.E. at a high school and doing special needs work. She also taught children who had moderate learning difficulties. After realizing how much she enjoyed the psychological part of working in education, Noble decided to train at England’s Tavistock Clinic to become an educational psychologist. Noble and her family re-located to the United States in 1991. They lived in three different states before moving to California. Since all of her training and educational experience was in England, she said it was challenging to find a job without having to re-train. When a job became available at SSF as a special education aide, Noble decided it was the position for her. “The thing about the Solana Beach School District was that it was the first school district where I found an opportunity to be able to get back into the education system, particularly the public education system which I really love, as a special education aide,” said Noble. In addition to working with children on social and emotional issues, part of her job involves running Study Buddies with parent volunteer Teri Summerhays. The after-school pro-

There have been recent concerns expressed in the editorial section of the Rancho Santa Fe Review regarding the parking problem that exists in our village. This really is a problem that affects our entire community. Besides making it difficult for residents to come into town, it certainly might discourage visitors from frequenting our local businesses. Some feel that a significant part of this problem is due to real estate agents taking up much of the parking spaces. While it may be difficult to actually measure the percentage of spaces used by real estate agents, we do acknowledge that we all need to look for solutions

Herb Josepher

to alleviate this issue. We at Prudential California Realty share the same concern as the community regarding the obvious parking problems, particularly on Paseo Delicias. As many people know, our Rancho Santa Fe Properties office directly across from The Inn was the location of the very first real estate office in Rancho Santa Fe. Our entire company was born in the community of Rancho Santa Fe over 20 years ago. Therefore, in an attempt to help address this matter, we have implemented a policy that no Prudential agent or staff member shall park their car on Paseo Delicias, not even if they just need to run into their office for a moment. I have received 100 percent support from our agents, most of whom live in our community. Herb Josepher Herb Josepher is a 35-year veteran in the real estate industry. He is Prudential California Realty’s branch manager for all of their offices in the Rancho Santa Fe and Del Mar region. He can be reached at 858-756-7899.

Foster teens of San Pasqual Academy get ready to graduate with the support of many caring donors Graduation is here and as you can imagine, it is a very emotional time for the graduating foster teens of San Pasqual Academy. They are leaving their “home” and also the many dedicated teachers and staff that provided a safe and stable environment for them. For most, they are the first to graduate from high school in their family. They have endured a very difficult journey that included abuse and neglect. The students are very proud of what they have accomplished due to the support of many volunteers, donors and supporters. It is the intention of Friends of San Pasqual Academy to provide “normal” high school experiences for these deserving students. Friends of San Pasqual Academy recently hosted a prom, which was held at the Hotel Del Coronado. It was a very thrilling event for the foster teens and they all looked beautiful! Carole Markstein rented a photo booth for the teens and they loved getting their picture taken with all of their friends. Friends paid for the tuxes, a few dresses, the food, beverages, decorations and a Disc Jockey. Beautiful dresses, shoes and accessories were donated by many wonderful individuals. It was a very memorable evening that the foster teens will always cherish. A Sports Banquet took place recently that honored the softball, baseball and basketball players. Friends purchased letterman’s jackets and other awards. They also provided decorations, food and beverages for this event. Charger Quentin Jammer and Alicia Jammer also attended this event and presented each athlete with an award. The foster teens expressed their gratitude to Friends for supporting them and for making their sports experience possible. There is a Graduation Brunch for the 27 graduates that is being hosted by the volunteers of Friends of San Pasqual Academy. Teen Volunteers In Action is creating duffle bags that have each student’s name on them that will be full of towells, sheets and other useful items.

but for state, city and county employees,” said Bardin. “I think you’re going to see statewide public sector benefit levels scaled back and employees contributing more for those benefits,” Bardin said. The change could come at the state level, or be implemented separately by each agency, Bardin said. The district’s current two-year labor agreement with its 43 employees increased worker contributions from 1.5 to 3 percent of salary, with no pay raises, which amounts to a takeaway,

drop next year when employees pay 3 percent of their share and the district pays 5 percent. Under the district’s current pension plan, employees receive 2.7 percent of their final year’s pay for each year of service, and they can retire at age 55. Under plans being studied, new hires would receive 2 percent for each year of service at either 55 or 60. The latter option would cut the district’s pension costs nearly in half. “These changes are coming, not just for the Santa Fe Irrigation District,

said Bardin. “Our employees did their part to bear the pain, like everyone else around here,” said Bardin. Director Andy Menshek, a firefighter, said over time that district retirees will outnumber active workers, which he called an unsustainable situation. He noted that a recent study of local government pensions in the San Diego Union-Tribune put Santa Fe second from the bottom in terms of reducing pension benefits between 2009 and 2011.

gram, in which high school students act as role models for elementary school children, is co-sponsored by the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth and the Solana Santa Fe PTO (Parent Teacher Organization). There are 20 pairs of students who spend an hour together once a week. Part of this hour they have “study” time and the other part they have “buddy” time. Summerhays, whose four children have attended the school, helped bring the program to the school when it first opened in 1993 and has worked with Noble for several years. “We spend a significant amount of time in trying to make a good match and it almost always works, but a lot of it is because of her insightfulness and her care and concern about her students,” said Summerhays. “She’s very nice but at the same time she just knows how to maintain order and respect. She truly, truly cares about every one of those kids.” Noble also spends time working on SSF’s anti-bullying program, called “Second Steps.” She has attended training on the bully prevention program and helps teachers implement it in their classrooms. This involves teaching students good social skills and anti-bullying tactics. “One of the things that is fabulous about working here is that the staff is just amazing, the way they work together as a team,” said Noble, who is the classified representative at staff meetings.

rate increases over the past several years has been the cost of “imported” water, which is purchased by the district from the County Water Authority. Some district customers believe the rate increases have been larger than necessary to cover water costs, and they have urged the district to cut costs for labor and operations. Along with increasing water costs, the district faces declining revenue, due to conservation by water customers and heavier than normal rainfall last winter. “There needs to be a down-sizing of the operation commensurate with the

decline in revenue,” said a letter sent to the district June 15 by Brad Burnett, Greg Gruzdowich, Sam Ursini and Rankine Van Anda. The letter notes that the County Water Authority plans to raise its rates by 8.7 percent on Jan. 1, and that a 3 percent increase in the Santa Fe Irrigation District’s water rates would cover the increased cost of imported water. According to figures provided by the district, the County Water Authority’s rate increase is expected to cost the district $181,000 next year, while a 3 percent increase in water rates starting Jan. 1 would generate $175,000, which would cover most of the cost of the water authority rate increase. But Michael Bardin, the Santa Fe district’s general manager, said those figures assume a certain level of water sales, and also that the district can meet about half of its water needs by treating local water stored at Lake Hodges. If those assumptions don’t pan out — for example, if the district has to buy more imported water than planned — the district’s costs will be higher.

nan of downtown San Diego’s Searsucker. Local resident Scott Harris, who was named “Restaurateur of the Year” in Chicago for his eateries in that city, will have two places in the Highlands with Mia Francesca and Davanti Enoteca. Mia Francesca will serve classic Italian entrees made from locally sourced ingredients in the old Los Cabos building. Next door, Davanti Enoteca will be a wine bar, offering pairings with fresh tapas. Both are slated to open in September. Rounding out the five full-service, sit-down restaurants on the top floor will be Champagne Bakery, Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza (which is adding a full bar and cocktail menu) and Rimel’s Rotisserie, with its locally-sourced meals and

“We haven’t done much at this agency,” Menshek said. Any change in pension benefits would have to be negotiated with employees. In order to institute the change before the current labor agreement expires (at the end of 2012), employees would have to agree to negotiate with the district on that issue. “It’s basically in labor’s hands,” Menshek said.

regions, such as Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, Otay Mesa and up the peninsula again to include Rancho Santa Fe. The district would represent a some 27-mile gap between the communities of Rancho Santa Fe and National City. Both district plans also split up the fire, irrigation and community services districts. For more information on the plans, visit wedrawthelines.ca.gov In addition, the district faces other costs, such as power, debt service and labor, that are fixed, even when water sales are down. Also, some other district costs are increasing, he said. The district also must maintain reserves and pay for capital improvement projects, he said. The customers’ letter also urges the board to study how other districts have cut costs. They cited the Lakeside water district, “which serves a similar number of accounts with just 14 people.” The Santa Fe district currently has 43 full-time employees, and has trimmed $800,000 from next year’s operating budget by leaving three vacant staff positions unfilled and other cuts. Bardin said the comparison with Lakeside is “really apples to oranges,” because the Santa Fe district operates a water treatment plant, while the Lakeside district does not. “We have a very, very lean staff, there’s only so far you can cut,” he said. If the district does implement a 6 percent rate increase in January, revenue for next fiscal year is projected at $21.85 million, generating an operating surplus of $869,000 for the year. That surplus would help offset a $1.3 million payment that board members also approved at their June 16 meeting. In May, the board decided, on a split vote, to pay off a $2.6 million debt to the state pension fund in two $1.3 million installments, rather than spreading the payments over the next six years. The move will save the district an estimated $335,000 in interest costs, according to a staff report. Director Ken Dunford voted against the payment, saying he still has questions about increases in the district’s obligation to the state CalPERS pension fund. As part of their motion to approve the $1.3 million pension payment, directions said the savings must be placed back into district reserves. sustainable seafood with a 40-seat outdoor patio and fire pit opening in August.

bar that offers no cuts, no color, just blowouts. All blowouts are $35 and come in different styles from the messy and beachy “Mai Tai” to the sleek and smooth “Manhattan.” A sweet blowout for girls 10 and under is called the “Shirley Temple.” Drybar already has a decorative window in spot next to Jimbo’s to announce its arrival in mid-July. “Based on the feedback and community support that we’ve already received, we know that these changes and this re-imagined town center are just what the Del Mar and Carmel Valley areas needed,” said Schreiber.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Del Mar Water Polo Club thriving, coaches encourage more young athletes to try the sport BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Del Mar Water Polo Club coaches are hoping to get more young athletes to take a dip into the sport of water polo. Now with programs for players ages 5 to 18, the club offers plenty of opportunities for kids to soak up a new sport, develop their skills with Olympic-level instruction and compete on a team. “For kids that like water sports, they are going to love water polo if they try it,” said founder and head coach Brett Ormsby. “It’s a fun, dynamic sport.” Based out of the Cathedral Catholic High School pool, Del Mar Water Polo Club was founded by local resident and Olympic water polo player Ormsby in 2008. His wife, Thalia Ormsby, also a water polo Olympian, is one of the coaches on a very talented roster. Ormsby started the club at age 25, after accepting a position at Cathedral Catholic as water polo coach, and algebra and U.S. history teacher. Initially, Ormsby started the club to keep his high school athletes in training year-round but he couldn’t block the club level from growing. “Within the last year, we’ve just exploded,” Ormsby said. Last year Del Mar Water Polo Club sent its first two teams to the Junior Olympics—this year they are sending five. New for the club this year is the addition of girls’ teams. Another new feature of the club is its younger age group teams for 12 and unders, and 10 and unders. “That’s huge for us as a growing club to start developing athletes young,” Ormsby said. Ormsby knows the value of starting young. As a child he was always around the sport as his dad Greg Ormsby is a longtime San Diego water polo player and coach. Greg Ormsby coached at Hilltop and Poway high schools, in addition to becoming an assistant coach for the U.S. Cadet and Junior National teams. “I was introduced to the sport at birth, but I really started playing at 10 years old, ” Ormsby said Water polo wasn’t always his sport— he also played a lot of soccer as a young athlete and, uniquely, did not come

Del Mar Water Polo Club Founder and Head Coach Brett Ormsby. Photo/Jon Clark to water polo from a swimming background. “By the time I was a freshman in high school I realized that water polo was where my future was, it was my strongest sport and I was getting better and better at it,” Ormsby said. He excelled at Valhalla High School and went on to star on UCLA’s team, racking up 240 career goals, second alltime in UCLA’s history. While still at UCLA he became a member of the U.S. Olympic Water Polo team and competed in the 2004 Athens games as a 19-year-old. “For water polo players, there’s no professional league so the Olympics are what you dream about,” Ormsby said. “It was great, a lot of fun and we had a really young team at the time so it was a very neat experience for all of us.” After college Ormsby continued to play, but was slowed by injuries, eventually turning to coaching. Before returning to San Diego he was an assistant coach at UCLA, coached at Harvard-Westlake School in North Hollywood, and found great success with the Los Angeles Water Polo Club, leading his girls team to the 2007 National Junior Olympics. “This is a good area for (the club),” said Ormsby of Del Mar and Carmel Valley. “We figured out there’s a real void

we can fill here.” Ormsby said once kids get in the water and give the sport a chance, they usually pick it up quickly. There are the challenges, of course, of treading water (egg-beatering), catching and throwing with one hand and getting used to the flow of the game, which includes a lot of whistles. The littlest polo players, ages 5-9, play Splashball with smaller balls and two hands in the shallow end of the pool to ease them into the game. A summer Splashball camp kicked off on Monday but a second session will be offered this summer from July 11 to July 21. Ormsby has put together a very talented staff of coaches to introduce players to the game and develop their strengths. Club players have the unique opportunity of Olympic-level instruction from Brett and Thalia Ormsby— the club also has a third Olympian, coach Gubba Sheehy who was a women’s water polo silver medalist at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Understanding the value of his time playing overseas, Ormsby also offers his players the chance to learn the game on an international level. In July, Ormsby will take players to Eastern Europe, a “hotbed of water polo.” The kids will visit and play against teams in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where it’s water polo players that star on the billboards and people play pick-up games in the Adriatic Sea. In just three years, Del Mar Water Polo Club has already been successful in sending players off to play college water polo at UCLA, UC Berkeley and USC, which, along with Stanford, represents some of the top water polo programs in the country. That kind of progress only makes Ormsby excited for what the future can hold, especially if they’re able to get kids in the pool earlier. “We’ve come a really long way in a short amount of time,” Ormsby said. “Our main focus is the younger players…We really want to get kids in the area to come out and give it a try. A lot of opportunities can come out of the club.” To learn more about Del Mar Water Polo Club’s teams and year-round offerings, visit delmarwaterpoloclub.com.

Grill-it-yourself stations add to the mixin’ and fixin’ at La Jolla Strip Club in UTC BY KELLEY CARLSON idiner may be able to tell by the name alone that the La Jolla Strip Club is a little, well, cheeky. The steakhouse — named for its signature dish — pokes fun at the political correctness of conservative San Diego, according to Executive Chef James Stephenson, and is geared toward the 21-and-older crowd. For starters, there are a number of risqué menu item names — appetizers are referred to as “Lounge Acts”; there are “Sinful Salads” and “Seductive Sandwiches”; “Sassy Sides” and “XXX-tras” often accompanying “Main Stage Selections,” “Choice Cuts” and “Strip Kabobs”; and desserts are “Naughty Treats.” The cocktails are just as saucy — some of the tamer-named martinis include Blue Stiletto and Chocolate Kiss. Continuing with the “adult” theme, various-sized prints of seductive pin-up girls are hung on

walls throughout the establishment. A number of them are in the dimly lit main room, with its black cushioned seats, cherry-red tables and charcoal-gray, carpeted floor. A “wine tunnel” is in the center (consisting of 40 types of red wines) and at the end is the white glow of the bar/vodka lounge, with additional seats for drinking and dining, more playful portraits, and 100 varieties of vodka. Bottom’s up! The Strip Club often attracts parties — be it corporate, bachelor/ bachelorette or birthdays — and many of them often sit in the private Champagne Room, which accommodates up to 40 people. The red-black-and-charcoal color theme is prevalent here, too, but there are large windows for natural lighting by day. An enclosed patio is located on the side of the restaurant, where guests are free to play pool at several tables or watch the passersby along Esplanade Court. Look high up in the corners throughout the Strip Club, and

guests will find flat-screen TVs with sports programming — there are 20 in all. Further adding to the ambience is “younger, upbeat” music which “is a little louder than average,” Stephenson said. Perhaps the juiciest detail: There are four grill stations throughout the establishment, as the Strip Club is a “grill-it-yourself” joint. Two are in the main room, another is in the bar area, and there’s one for private use in the Champagne Room. Guidelines are posted at stations, so even first-timers can prepare their meat to perfection. “It’s a very social, interactive concept,” Stephenson said. “It gets everybody up from the table.” For a great experience, he said to bring a group of friends who “like to have a fun evening, sample different vodkas, and who like to master their techniques on the grill.” And in case you’re wondering, clothing is required, yet casual.

The enclosed patio has several pool tables.

Rancho Santa Fe Review tive. But still, one has to wonder, “What was he thinking?” These activities apparently went on in secret for years in the same house where his children and wife resided. Perhaps, if one were inclined to cut Arnold a little slack, we might look to his oppressive childhood as a mitigating factor. Or the fact that prominent or not, often when there is infidelity, it is because there are problems in the marriage. Keeping a relationship fresh, alive, and fun for decades is a challenge that both partners must tackle together. While affairs generally lead to divorce, occasionally infidelity can serve as a wake up call. But only when the person who has stepped out on the relationship is genuinely contrite and willing to work on things, being completely open and transparent going forward. When there is a history of womanizing or serial affairs, it is unlikely that the pattern will change, no matter how much the other partner wants to try. So, back to the point, I guess

Blended Families: What was Arnold thinking?

By Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom It’s important to say right from the start that, of course, it isn’t only prominent and powerful men who have affairs. Men and women of all different walks of life and ages have affairs. It’s just that we expect more from our politicians – people who have solicited and in many cases, won our trust. Powerful men have much more to lose than the average individual who succumbs to infidelity. And yet, due to their financial and social position, they may think that they have the resources to cover their tracks. In other words, they suffer from a delusional sense of invulnerability. It’s especially surprising because the media and the public scrutinize them. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s’ widely publicized affair with the housekeeper has raised the question once again, “What was he thinking?” I’ve never met the “Governator” and can’t say that I would have ever been counted upon to buy a ticket to any of his movies. But I will try to remain completely unbiased in this very brief analysis. Early Conditioning Experiences: From what we’ve been told of his childhood, Arnold’s father was a military man

who was excessively strict with his sons. As children, he had Arnold and his brother starting their exercise program at 6 a.m. with a very structured day including writing a 10-page essay at the end of each day about their activities. It seems that any emo- Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom tional needs or feelings were not part of the program. Research has shown that sometimes when a person is raised in such an oppressive, cold environment, they can develop a reckless, determination to get their needs met at any cost. Their exterior may appear to be like everyone else, but within their shell is a cold, emptiness. The adrenaline rush of success and new conquests brings an excitement and sense of feeling alive. Now, if this describes Arnold’s private inner world, and if womanizing is one of the things that makes him feel alive and powerful, then at least, we can make this connection from a psychological perspec-

To Your Health: Whooping Cough isn’t just for kids BY FRANK MYERS, SCRIPPS HEALTH Whooping cough is back – with a vengeance. Last year, California had the largest outbreak of whooping cough cases since 1947; more than 9,100 cases were reported, including 10 infants who died from the disease. While whooping cough has traditionally been considered a childhood illness, more than half of those cases involved adults and adolescents. Whooping cough, or pertussis, is an infection of the respiratory tract caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacteria. Once in the respiratory tract, pertussis bacteria produce toxins that cause inflammation and hamper the body’s germfighting ability. In its early stages, pertussis symptoms can mimic the common cold, with congestion, sneezing and runny nose, low grade fever, and a dry cough. After a week or two, the cough worsens, often causing shortness of breath, vomiting, and in some rare cases, rib fractures. Even after other symptoms have subsided, sporadic coughing fits may continue for weeks or months. In children, coughing fits may produce a “whooping” sound that gives the illness its nickname, but only 30 to 40 percent of adults and adolescents experience this. Other symptoms can be more severe in infants and young children as well, including ear infection, dehydration, seizures and a brain disorder known as encephalopathy. In infants and very young children, pertussis can be fatal; more than half of babies under one year of age require hospitalization. Pertussis is highly contagious during the first few weeks and can be easily contracted by inhaling contaminated droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneeze. Because the initial symptoms are easily mistaken for a common cold, adults and adolescents may not realize they have the illness, and pass it on to others in the household. If you live with someone who has pertussis, you have about a 90 percent chance of catching it. Many infants and children who are infected contract the bacteria from parents and older siblings. If you suspect someone in your family may have pertussis or been exposed to it, call your doctor immediately. If an infant or young child has a “whooping cough” or post cough vomiting and you cannot reach your physician, go to the emergency room. Pertussis is usually treated with antibiotics, but they must be given in the early stages. Don’t try to treat pertussis with over-the-counter cough medications, as they will not be effective and may even make the situation worse. Your physician also may recommend preventive anti-

biotics for family members. In the United States, most children receive the DTaP vaccine to protect them from pertussis as well as diphtheria and tetanus; the vaccine is usually given as a series of five shots and is completed by the age of 4. However, immunity to pertussis may weaken about ten years after the last vaccine, which helps to explain why so many older patients have been contracting it. As a result, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a single dose of the Tdap vaccine for people ages 11 to 64. Tdap provides protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis for adolescents and adults. In particular, the Tdap vaccine is strongly recommended for health care workers, teachers, daycare workers, and others who work with infants and children or have an increased

risk of exposure to the disease. Side effects of the Tdap vaccine are generally minimal and include pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, headache, tiredness, nausea, and mild fever. Recently, California enacted a state law requiring all seventh through 12th grade students to prove they have received the Tdap vaccine before August 11, 2011. August and September are the peak months for whooping cough. If you have concerns or questions about pertussis or the Tdap vaccine, talk to your family physician.

North Shore went on to emerge victorious after facing San Diego’s Clairemont team in the semi-final round with a score of 3-0. However, the final game in the 12U gold division was dominated by North Huntington Beach, as they beat out North Shore 9-2. “Our team never stops competing,” said Kent Zapata, North Shore manager. “Throughout the weekend, the girls put on another great performance for the spectators.

RSF White Sox win Coast Cities Little League Tournament For the first time in its 15-year history, the Coast Cites Tournament (majors) was won by a Rancho Santa Fe Little League team! Hosted this year by the Encinitas Little League, the Coast Cities Tournament is a post season single elimination tournament featuring the top four teams from the Rancho Santa Fe, Encintas, Encinitas National, Del Mar American, Del Mar National and the Solana Beach Little Leagues. A total of 24 teams competed this year. As the number one seed from RSF, the White Sox drew a bye in the first round. In the second round they easily defeated the ENLL Pirates 12 - 5. Three day later they overcame the ENLL Reds 3-2. After just one day of rest they defeated the Del Mar American Angels 3-2, which placed them in today’s championship game against the Encintas Reds. The championship game settled into a classic pitching dual with the very strong Encinitas pitcher going up against White Sox’s starter Jackie Plashkes. The scoreless tie was broken when the Reds scored two runs off of back to back singles in the bottom of the 3rd inning. The Reds tried for a third run that inning but right fielder Chase Whitton threw a bullet to catcher Andre Nordan who tagged the runner out at home. The White Sox rallied in the top of the 5th inning when JT Henderson and Whitton both drew walks, and were driven in by a clutch two out hit by the White Sox leadoff batter Jake Johnson. The score was now tied 2-2. Plashkes struck out the side in the top of fifth with nine well placed strikes. Led by hits from Plaskes, Jack Geise, Spencer Rydin and Chase Whitton, the White Sox rallied and extended their lead to 6-2 in the top of the sixth inning. In the bottom of the 6th inning Johnson took over as relief pitcher and recorded the save when he struck out the last batter for the third out. Plashkes earned the win, with 11 strikeouts. “In all the past years, all of the involved leagues have sent their top team to the Tournament of Champions (TOC) tourney and all of the rest have played in Coast Cities.” said Dave Thatcher, RSFLL board president. “Since TOC was not played this year, the Coast Cities is a combination of both. Therefore, you should consider your team the champs of both Coast Cities and TOC. You are the best of the best. A huge achievement! “Having very supportive parents and coaches makes all of the difference” said manager Eric Johnson. “The players never complained about our many practices and batting cage sessions. Every time we fell behind in a game they never gave up, and would find a way to rally back for the win.” Afterwards the team and parents converged on Flippin’ Pizza for a well deserved victory celebration.

TPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alli Billmeyer leaves her mark with last dance BY GIDEON RUBIN At the height of her burgeoning ballet career, Alli Billmeyer played the villainous Rat Queen in the Christmastime classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nutcracker.â&#x20AC;? Billmeyer gave up ballet and competitive soccer when she came to Torrey Pines as a freshman so she could concentrate on distance running on the track and field and cross country teams. And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been dancing all over the school and San Diego County record books ever since. Billmeyer erased a 25-year county record in the 1,600yard race at the state meet at Buchanan High in Clovis on June 5, clocking a four minute, 41.71-second performance, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth fastest recorded time this year and the 10th best in state meet history. She placed fourth in the 3,200 in the state meet on the same day. Earlier this year she set a county record in the 3,200 (10:18.92). Billmeyer is a three-time all-state and All-San Diego Section selection, and the only runner in state history to medal in the 1,600 all four years. She placed second in the section and third in the state in cross country in November. Last season, she helped lead the Falcons to a Div. I state team title. She placed third in the prestigious Jim Ryun High School Dream Mile (part of the Adidas Grand Prix Series), clocking a 4:43.18, the third best recorded time in the nation this year. She won the 1,600 Div. I section title as a junior with a 4:45.06 that at the time was the fastest recorded time in the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely the bestâ&#x20AC;? runner in program history, Falcons cross country and distance track coach Brent Thorne said when asked to contextualize the Stanford-bound sensationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boys, girls, combined, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best, by far.â&#x20AC;? Despite a list of accomplishments that reads like a short novel, the coveted state title somehow eluded her this year. In her county record-breaking performance in the 1,600, Harvard-Westlake of North Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cami Cha-

pus won the race in a stunning 4:40.88. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bittersweet, in that my two goals for the season were to get the San Diego Section record and then to win state,â&#x20AC;? Billmeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was going for the win, but when I saw what the time was, I was just happy that I ran that fast,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went out and did my best, and that was the best I could do, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that that was at least a section record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was awesome. That will stay with me forever.â&#x20AC;? Her time at the state meet would have garnered a state title in either of the last two years, and most any other in the meetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37-year history. Billmeyer, in fact, has the distinction of being the only runner ranked among the state meetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

all-time top 10 finishers to not win a title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of does make me feel better,â&#x20AC;? Billmeyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The competition was so great. It definitely pushed me to get the faster time being in a race with Chapus.â&#x20AC;? Despite some mixed emotions, Billmeyer considers the state meet among her career highlights, noting that it was the last time she wore a Torrey Pines uniform, and was surrounded by close family and friends, whom she says inspired her throughout her career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support of my family is a huge part of my being able to do what I do,â&#x20AC;? Billmeyer said. Chapus, whose time at the state meet ranks ninth alltime, and Billmeyer, now forever interwoven in state track history and lore, have buried the competitive hatchet since the Clovis race and became friends on the trip to New York for the Dream Mile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never would have run that time if [Billmeyer] wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the race, so I am so thankful,â&#x20AC;? Chapus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only is she an amazing runner, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so fun to hang out with and has a great personality.â&#x20AC;? Thorne believes Billmeyer projects to be an impact runner at Stanford, who could eventually figure in the mix for an Olympic berth in the 1,600 or 3,200. Billmeyer admits Thorne telling her that earlier this â&#x20AC;&#x153;definitely caught me off guard.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel shocked and honored for that to even to be a possibility,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look up to Olympic athletes with so much respect. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a crazy accomplishment.â&#x20AC;? Torrey Pines may not get a runner as good as Billmeyer anytime soon. But Thorne said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss the person more than the runner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to miss most about her is just her personality, her really always being bubbly and outgoing and happy,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting he enjoys watching the way she interacts with teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to like sit back, lean against the wall and watch her interaction with other teammates. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a very congenial site to watch how well they get along and encourage each other and really live in the same realm.â&#x20AC;?

Alex Long with Noah Simon; Lauren Mutch

Local Potter visits Village Church Nursery School Alex Long, local ceramic artist since 1968, treated the children at the Village Church Nursery School with a classroom visit. Alex brought his electric potter’s wheel to school and explained to the children how to “throw a pot.” The children had been working with clay throughout the school year, but working with clay “in motion” was a completely new experience for them. Alex’s wife Nancy is a teacher at the Village and has several of Alex’s finished pottery pieces in her classroom. Before each child worked with the wheel, Alex gave a demonstration and explained the techniques of using their thumb and fingers to shape the art piece. The children were amazed at their creations as Alex guided their hands to help each child form his or her individual art piece.

Craftsman furniture fans will flock to Stickley exhibition “Gustav Stickley & The American Arts and Crafts Movement,” the first nationally touring exhibition to focus on the artist’s career and his contributions to the history of American design and architecture, is showing now through Sept. 11 at The San Diego Museum of Art. The collection contains furniture, metal ware and embroidered textiles, and the majority of objects come from private collections never seen by the public. Focusing on Stickley’s most creative period, 1900 to 1913, the exhibition illuminates the vibrant identity of the “Craftsman” style that Stickley developed and furthered through his wares. Stickley offered customers a complete lifestyle based on his philosophy of simple design and quality materials, a philosophy disseminated both through his magazine, “The Craftsman,” and in his stores. One of the highlights is the re-creation of the dining room first displayed in the 1903 Arts and Crafts Exhibition organized by Stickley and exhibited in his Syracuse Craftsman Building. Other highlights include an armoire, c. 1907-1912, that Stickley kept for private use in the decades after he sold his business, and works showcasing his experimentation with different varnishes, which can still be seen as a patchwork of colors on the undersides of the drawers. Also on view is a rare armchair, c. 1903, with copper and wood inlay reflecting Stick-

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Comfortable atmosphere at Prime Time Jewelry’s new location at Lomas Santa Fe Plaza makes customers feel at home BY MARLENA MEDFORD STAFF WRITER Lomas Santa Fe Plaza recently became the new home of Prime Time Jewelry, a store specializing in quality watches and jewelry at a broad range of price points. When customers walk through the door, they’ll discover a place that’s every bit as beautiful as it is inviting. Earth-toned walls, brilliant orchids and beautiful art create the backdrop for a kaleidoscope of dazzling pieces in the showroom and bridal suite. Adjacent to that, customers will discover a homey lounge, complete with comfy couches, a TV and plenty of children’s books and games. It’s the kind of place you want to linger, and that’s precisely the point, said owner Michael Fischer. “I want people to feel comfortable in this store. I tried to create a store that feels as close to home as possible, because home is where everyone feels the most comfortable,” he said. “I want people to feel like they can come in, relax, and just look around. I have no expectations of them when they walk through the door. My objective is to make each customer’s experience enjoyable.” The recently opened store also features a conference room for private consultations, a safe, and a workshop, which is viewable from the front of the store so customers can watch repairs. This store, Fischer said, is a dream come to fruition. “This is a passion for me,” said Fischer, who once upon a time had a career in finance, but was an avid watch collector. He loved watches so much, in fact, that he took a night job at a jewelry store, where he learned the nuances of the industry. Once his children were grown, he followed his heart into the jewelry world and has never looked back. Fischer’s love for watches and jewelry is evident after talking to him for just a few minutes. Ask him about one of his lines, and he can spout off information about how those pieces are crafted and the back-story of the brand. Cuervo y Sabrinos, for example, is a line of watches that were once made in Cuba. In its heyday, the family-owned store was “the Tiffany’s

Owner Michael Fischer and associate partner Liz Rayon of Cuba,” but once Fidel Castro took over, its doors closed and stayed shut for many years. In the early ‘70s a wealthy Spaniard tracked down the family, who had gone into exile, and got permission to start production again. He traveled to the original store in Cuba, where he discovered, miraculously, that the store had remained untouched all these years. He unearthed a treasure trove of designs, which were modernized a bit but not changed, and production began again in Europe. “Collectors are driven by history like that,” explained Fischer. It’s that level of knowledge that guarantees a

customer will be paired with a piece that best suites their needs, whether it be a special occasion purchase or something more casual for everyday wear. Whatever your need or price point, Fischer is happy to assist, as is associate partner Liz Rayon, who also brings many years of experience in the jewelry industry. The inventory here includes jewelry lines by Masira, Masiera, Michael M, Roberto Coin and Tacori, just to name a few. And the watch selection offers dozens of brands, including Ball Watches and SWATCH, which have recently seen a resurgence in popularity. “Everything we carry is reliable, quality, and a good value,” Fischer said. “Whatever you’re in the market for, our business is about servicing the needs to customers.” Prime Time Jewelry is located at 985 D Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. For more information, please call 858-259-1819 or visit primetimeutc.com.

Timmons Galleries welcomes glass sculptor Geoff Lee Timmons Galleries, in the heart of the Rancho Santa Fe Village, is pleased to announce its newest artist, Geoff Lee. Lee is a glass sculptor, and a resident of Hawaii, who received his MFA at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Upon graduation and before embarking on his own to become a full-time artist, Lee worked with several international glassblowers, including world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. Lee primarily Sculpture by Geoff Lee sculpts “Wishpots,” which he feels reflect popular American culture, traditional Italian glass blowing techniques, and his partial Korean descent. The concept of the “Wishpot” originated in ancient China, where the wish was believed to come true if written and stored in a special bowl. A person was instructed to write their desire onto a tiny scroll of paper and place it into the Wishpot as gesture of intention. In addition to the tale, the sensitivity involved in creating the vessels is evident, observing the use of color, depth, form, shape and movement of each unique piece. Timmons Galleries is also announcing the addition of late hours on Thursday evenings, just in time for the racing season. Live music will be a fundamental part of this special time, along with select wine tastings. Gallery Hours are 11 a.m. - 6 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday; 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Thursday with live music from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Timmons Galleries is located at 6024 “D” Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, Ca 92067; www.TimmonsGalleries. com; 858-756-8488.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Your Family Matters: Sharing kids over the summer BY DR. KEITH KANNER As the summer is off and running, many children will shift from one home to another due to split families. Unlike the school year, many custody schedules change due to Dr. Keith Kanner children having the opportunity to spend more time with each parent, especially if one of the parents happens to live out of town. In other cases, the regular schedule changes due to vacations, greater opportunities for kids to be with their non-custodial parent, and also because sometimes the kids themselves wish to spend more time with a particular parent. As with any sort of change, care must be taken into consideration for all parties involved, but especially for the children as they have been accustomed to a routine for most of the calender year. Children fear many things when a custody change occurs. First, they fear that they will not be able to contact their parent as frequently which can create anxiety and worry that they will somehow lose contact and love with that particular parent. It is very important that both parent parties work together to allow their children to contact the non-custodial parent whenever they want to. Granted, each household should

deal with conflicts under their own roof and not allow the child to attempt to “split” the parents, but checking and sharing stories is a very natural and important activity for children to be able to do over the summer when they may not see their parent as often. Second, many children miss the familiarity of the home that they are not presently residing in. Children in split families typically have two rooms, two sets of friends, and different activities that they do at each home. It is very important that both sets of parents are sensitive to these differences and allow for some flexibility in blending some of the activities. For example, allowing your child to invite a neighborhood friend from mom’s house to dad’s house is a nice way that parents can be supportive to their child’s needs. Third, often times children worry that their parents will speak poorly about one another once they spend more time together. Despite differences between any set of parents, it is very important NOT to speak poorly to your children about that particular parent. If your child is having a conflict with your ex-spouse, it is always best to encourage your child to speak directly to that parent in a sensitive manner. If you find out that your ex is not being very receptive, you can try to calmly encourage their father or mother to try to be more sensitive to their feelings. Fourth, any sort of adjustment takes time and also once the Fall approaches, custody schedules tend to go back to the way they were written during the school year. This is also another adjustment that parents

should discuss with their children the month before school starts. As with any sort of schedule involving children, the more structured, set, and consistent, the better. As with any divorced family, the focus needs to always be on the children and their best interests. When the parent’s animosity, anger, and resentment color the waters, the children always suffer as will your relationship with them if you do not put your feelings aside for the love you have for your kids. Children always look to their parents to model how to treat others, especially someone who they love and need which is certainly their other parent. Key Points: 1. Allow children to contact their parents whenever they want to over the summer 2. Allow flexibility in reference to friends and time 3. Do not speak poorly about your ex-spouse - this will only make your children resent you. 4. Be sensitive to adjustment to your house and away from their other home 5. As always, don’t take your feelings you have to-

Kids Korps holds Teacher Appreciation Flower Day Sale By Samantha Frank, Rancho Santa Fe Third Grader This year’s annual Kids Korps Teacher Appreciation Flower Sale was a big success. We had a great time showing how much we appreciate our teachers, administration, and maintenance staff. At the same time, we were able to raise enough money to help send a number of our Camp Pendleton military families to their very first Padre’s game and tailgate party, hosted by RSF Kids Korps. The kids and parents had a lot of fun. We had kids from kindergarten to eighth grade selling flowers just before the start of school at Rancho Santa Fe Elementary School. The RSF Kids Korps’ job was to sell the flowers to other RSF students. We asked them to buy a rose or carnation for their teachers, the administration staff, and the maintenance staff to show them how much we appreciate all they do for us and make school more fun. In the end, we sold out of over 800 flowers in just a half hour, raising about $1040.00. 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 show their appreciation for our school staff and for our military. Del Mar Pines Hosts Myriad of Year-Long Kids Korps Volunteer Service Projects Del Mar Pines School Chapter of Kids Korps has had an exciting year. From our small community of just over 110 families, we had over 25 family members. Many of our members are from the younger grades and we are excited they will be able to stay involved for many years. Some of the highlights of our chapter’s projects include removing non-indigenous plants from a local lagoon in Carlsbad, clearing natural water ways and allowing indigenous plants to flourish once again. Groups of families served dinner at Bread of Life in Oceanside last fall. We created and hosted a Valentine’s Day party at Emeritus Assisted Living facility, where children played games, read stories and played piano for the community residents. During the holidays, we created thank you holiday cards for our soldier heroes. We also “adopted” a military family for Christmas, providing food and gifts. In the spring, we painted flower pots and planted seeds. Flowering pots will be delivered to a senior community for Mother’s Day. Our chapter created banners for both the Susan G Komen 3 Day Walk event and for Puppy Love’s 5 K walk/run held in Del Mar. Members attended and cheered or participated in each event. Our chapter made dog biscuits and cat toys for the Helen Woodward Center and attended a service project at their facility. We have had a wonderful year and are very excited for our remaining projects and for planning next year! Save the Date & Collect Items for Kids Korps “‘Backpack’ to School” Presented by Starbucks Thousands of children of low-income families throughout San Diego start their school year lacking the necessary materials to succeed in the classroom. Kids Korps is pleased to partner with our friends from Starbucks on a new summer service program, “‘Backpack’ to School,” to collect and fill backpacks for select youth entering the fall 2011 school year.
