Covenant residents to receive undergrounding survey BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Rancho Santa Fe Association will soon send out its “Utility Undergrounding Interest Survey” to gather information about where interest in undergrounding is the greatest so the Association can target its efforts toward those neighborhoods first. RSF Association Board President Tom Lang said he thinks the survey is a great first step, a way to gauge the temperature of the community on the issue and move closer toward getting a price tag on how much undergrounding will cost individual property owners. There are a proposed 39 districts within the Covenant, with about 48 parcels in each. Property owners within the district have to come together to submit a petition to the Community Services District (CSD), which then jumpstarts an assessment engineers’ report and boundary map analysis. District residents then vote on the project, knowing how much they will be assessed. The assessment amounts are weighed by how much individual property owners will benefit and assessments can be paid up front or over time on a property tax bill. If the majority supports the project, then the CSD may vote to form the district. The survey also hopes to identify people interested in serving as district captains.

Opera coming to Rancho Santa Fe’s Performing Arts Center June 11-12 BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The opera is coming to Rancho Santa Fe. Bach Collegium San Diego will stage Henry Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas” at R. Roger Rowe’s Performing Arts Center with two performances on Saturday, June 11, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 12, at 3 p.m. The opera will mark one of the PAC’s biggest performances since its opening, as well as Bach Collegium’s first staged show. Also making the opera unique is that it will feature a 16-piece orchestra playing the opera’s 17th century music on au-

thentic period instruments. “It’s unique in that we’re the only ensemble anywhere near here that performs on period instruments,” said Ruben Valenzuela, Bach Collegium founder and music director. “The opera is just one of the landmark operas … historically, it’s one of the most important baroque operas.” Founded in 2003, Bach Collegium specializes in renaissance and baroque works, with a focus on the vocal works of J.S. Bach. While other companies per-

San Dieguito high school district rejects charges of religious discrimination BY MARSHA SUTTON SENIOR EDUCATION REPORTER Objections to activities at four schools in the San Dieguito Union High School District have been raised in separate communications to the district by Dean Broyles, president of the Western Center for Law & Policy in Escondido. “I’ve been contacted by a number of parents,” Broyles said. “We have four or five issues in the same district which is very extraordinary.” Torrey Pines High School, Carmel Valley Middle School, Earl Warren Middle School and Diegueno Middle School in Encinitas have all been named by Broyles, who complained that discrimi-

nation in various forms against Christian students was occurring at the middle schools and that the high school improperly permitted the publication of sexually explicit material in its student newspaper. In a four-page letter to Broyles dated May 20, SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah responded to the charges, denying any wrong-doing by the district. In the Oct. 22, 2010 issue of the TPHS student newspaper The Falconer, a feature section titled “(SEX) posure” included suggestive photos and contained stories about birth control vs. abstinence and sexually transmitted diseases. It also included an informal, anonymous survey of 263

TPHS students, asking them if they knew anyone with an STD and if they or any student they knew used birth control. Broyles wrote in his letter to TPHS principal Brett Killeen that such sexually explicit material in the school’s newspaper “serves to undermine parental confidence in the school’s administration, who is supposed to serve in the role of parents (in locus parenti) while their children are in your care and trust.” Broyles cited the 1988 Supreme Court Hazelwood case to support his position that the school has the legal authority and responsibility to intervene when necessary to protect students from inappropriate

material in school-sponsored publications. “The TPHS administration … had the complete authority to edit in part or completely deny the salacious ‘(SEX)posure’ article and photographs,” Broyles wrote. Noah, in his letter, said the ability to exercise prior restraint to censor student publications is limited, “unless the articles are obscene, libelous, or slanderous, or if the articles incite pupils to create a clear and present danger by breaking the law, violating school rules, or disrupting the orderly operation of the school.” “We do not believe the article in question rises to the standard under which See CHARGES, page 24

Two new directors elected to Cost for Rowe field project changes Fairbanks Ranch Association board The Rancho Santa Fe School District board approved an adjusted cost for its new field project at its June 2 meeting. The new artificial turf field (55 by 100 yards) will cost $1,873,992, about $97,222 more than the number the board was initially given in January when they selected the artificial turf option over natural grass. Temporary fencing will go up this week and some trees removed for construction to begin after school ends on June 17. The new field will be complete by Aug. 16, ready for

Tom Brown

BY MARLENA MEDFORD STAFF WRITER State Senator Christine Kehoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation SB 468, which requires improved transit as part of any expansion of Interstate-5 from La Jolla to Oceanside, has passed the state Senate by a vote of 24-15 and now heads to the Assembly for consideration. The I-5 expansion project included an option that would add up to six lanes to this strip of the freeway, however, SB 468 supports the least costly $3.3 billion option, which would add only four total carpool lanes. These lanes would be split into two managed lanes in each direction and be used by express buses, car pools and non-polluting vehicles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they would also allow tolls, the revenue from which would be directed to transit improvements in the corridor. SB 468 would also require transit improvements be developed in tandem with the expansion of I-5 within each 10-year period of the 40-year project. Improvements include: adding a second track for the Coaster and Amtrak so there can be more passenger and freight trips per week; and creating a Safe Routes for Transit program linking the regional bike plan to transit. SB 468 also reduces the number of properties the state must acquire from 421 to 10 or fewer, and it protects the six coastal lagoons within the project area by requiring that bridge construction for both the highway expansion and double-tracking of the rail line occurs at the same time in each lagoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This legislation will bring our region closer to a plan that reduces congestion and provides stronger transit options in the coastal corridor,â&#x20AC;? Kehoe said in a written statement.

Marines show appreciation to students through flag presentation BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer On Wednesday, June 1, a pair of U.S. Marines presented R. Roger Rowe School with a framed American flag that was flown in Afghanistan. The flag was a “thank you” to Rowe first and second grade students who had sent the First Combat Engineer Battalion care packages and letters during their seven-month deployment. Captain Chris Kim (husband of second grade teacher Grace Kim) made the presentation along with Gunnery Sergeant Robert Palmer. Former school district superintendent R. Roger Rowe, who is also a military veteran, was there to accept the flag. “We got a number of really big boxes of goodies, even one full of sunglasses,” Captain Kim said of the generosity of the community, Kim’s class and Linda Tan’s first grade class. “It was extremely nice of you all to support us.” Rowe accepted the

Right after the assembly, a group of third grade students who are planning to send care packages of their own to the troops went up to ask Palmer

what he most liked to receive. He told the students that the children’s letters were what he enjoyed the most.

Reading is hot at Solana Santa Fe After reading more than 40,000 books and close to 1.3 million pages over the 2010-2011 school year, the entire Solana Santa Fe student body was recognized at a gold medal awards ceremony on May 27 for reaching their goal in a school-wide reading program. “The purpose of the program is to motivate kids to read and develop a love of reading in all of them,” says Nora Balikian, the parent volunteer in

charge of the program with Curriculum Resource Teacher Brooke McCausland, who works in the school’s Media Center. The Books and Beyond reading program has been held over the last several years. The theme this year was “Reading is Hot at Solana Santa Fe.” Throughout the year, students logged the number of

books or pages read, according to grade level. In order to receive a gold medal, students in Kindergarten, first and second grades were required to read 120 books and grades three through six needed to read 2,400 pages. The 175 students who exceeded this goal and read double the amount required were treated to a pizza party with Solana Santa Fe’s Principal Julie Norby.

Beloved RSF children’s librarian Debbie Wilson to retire BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Rancho Santa Fe Library’s children’s librarian Debbie Wilson will retire on July 29, sticking around just long enough for one last children’s summer reading program. For 14 years, Wilson has worked the Martha Glasgow Children’s Wing and in her sweet and gentle manner has helped foster a love of reading for all the kids that walk through the door. “I know for sure that I’ll miss the people I work with and the kids,” Wilson said, pausing to think fondly about the little readers. “I feel so fortunate

that I had the ideal, positive staff and friends to work with. It’s just time.” “She is the light of the library,” said fellow children’s librarian Laurie Knodle. “The kids love her, everyone loves her.” At a retirement party held on Friday, June 3, many people came to tell Wilson just how much she meant to their families. One mother gave Wilson photos of her now collegegraduate children, thanking the librarian for those special times of their youth when they spent spare moments at the library in the heart of town. Wilson did her best to

wave off tears but a few snuck out anyway. “She taught me everything,” said Sylvia Aspeytia, who will help run the children’s wing. “She’s a real good friend, she’s the best. I’ll miss her very much.” In her retirement, Wilson plans to help out with her grandchildren, travel a bit with her husband Rick and, most excitingly, work on writing children’s books.

Another high national ranking for Torrey Pines High School On the RSF Review Web; Enter Torrey Pines High School has received an impressive ranking of 109th in the nation in the Washington Post’s first list of “America’s Best High Schools.” This improves on the previous year’s ranking of 125th in a similar annual list published in Newsweek. “This is an outstanding result for Torrey Pines High School,” said school principal Brett Killeen. “It is especially impressive when you take into account that many of the schools ranked above us on the list are charter or magnet schools.” Education reporter Jay Matthews uses the “Challenge Index” to measure how effectively a school prepares its students for college. The Challenge Index is determined by dividing the

number of Advanced Placement (AP) or other college-level tests taken each year at a school by its number of graduating seniors. This results in a score which is compared to other schools across the nation and represents the degree to which students at any given institution select rigorous courses. According to the Matthews, “AP (tests) are important because they give average students a chance to experience the trauma of heavy college reading lists and long, analytical college examinations.” His research shows that even students who did not achieve a passing score on an AP test did significantly better in college than similar students who did not take AP courses.

Killeen does not put too much emphasis on the ranking, however, he appreciates the validation and positive recognition. He feels the school’s national ranking will continue to rise in the future. “We should improve slightly next year because our AP data for 2011 is even better.” Other San Dieguito Union High School District school rankings included: Canyon Crest Academy at 192, La Costa Canyon at 401, and San Dieguito High School Academy at 600.

Profile

Local resident elected as foreign member of The Royal Society of London in recognition of her contributions to plant science BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN CONTRIBUTOR On the wall of her office is a photo of her favorite plant, a weed, known to scientists by its Latin name of “Arabidopsis thaliana” or just plain ol’ “Arabidopsis.” Non-scientists refer to this insignificant-looking annual as mouse-eared cress or thale cress. It can be found in poor sandy or gravelly soil around parking lots and railway sidings. The photo of Arabidopsis given to Dr. Joanne Chory (pronounced “Cory”), as a gift from her staff a few years ago is captioned with a quote from 19th century American poet/naturalist/ philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson that defines a weed as “A plant whose virtues have not yet been discov-

ered.” Professor Chory has been discovering the virtues of Arabidopsis for 23 years at The Salk Institute, where, using a molecular genetic approach to the study of Arabidopsis, she pioneered the analysis of plant responses to the environment, discovered a novel steroid hormone in plants, identified the steroid receptor and dissected the signaling network. Arabidopsis is to plant biologists what mice and fruit flies are to animal biologists. It’s small, easy to grow, reproduces rapidly from seed back to seed in six weeks, produces lots of seeds and has a simple genome that has been completely sequenced and can be manipulated genetically. As such, it has become

THE reference plant for understanding the molecular biology of many plant traits, including flower development and light sensing. As director of the plant molecular and cellular biology laboratory at The Salk, Chory and her staff of 20 researchers, with the help of thousands of Arabidopsis plants grown in the lab’s five dedicated greenhouses, has made major discoveries about how plants grow and develop. In recognition of her contributions to science and adding to her extensive list of her honors, which include being a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, member of the German National Academy of Sciences and foreign associate of The French Academy of Sciences, this year Chory was elected a foreign member of The Royal Society in London. The Royal Society cited her as “a beacon of scientific excellence and a wonderful ambassador for plant research in the international scientific community.” She is also an adjunct professor at UCSD and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. We interviewed Chory in her lab and greenhouses on the campus of The Salk Institute for Biological Studies on North Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla. The Salk Institute ranks among the world’s leading research institutions dedicated to the study of molecular biology and genetics, plant biology and neurosciences under the guidance of 56 faculty investigators with a staff of more than 850, including visiting scientists, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Chory was born in Methuen, Mass., and grew up in nearby North Andover. She was the third child in a family of six children. All four of her grandparents emigrated from Lebanon. Her father was an accountant and her mother was a technician at the Bell Labs. “I always describe myself as a late bloomer,” she said. In high school, she was always a good student and good at science, she said, but it wasn’t until her junior year at Oberlin College, a small liberal arts college in Oberlin, Ohio, that she seriously began considering sci-

ence as a possible career choice. “It was in my third year when I took a microbiology course from Richard Levin that I just really got turned on to that whole world of bacteria. “He was just an excellent teacher. You can never underestimate the good teachers. They impact a lot of students.” She earned her A.B. in biology with honors from Oberlin in 1977. But it was not until graduate school working towards her doctorate in microbiology at the University of Illinois, Urbana, when she had her own project “and I could really own it, that I found I really liked the problem solving and the excitement that goes with making a new discovery.” After earning her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1984 and completing her postdoctoral fellow research in plant molecular genetics at Harvard Medical School in 1988, she joined The Salk Institute as an assistant professor in the plant biology department. She was appointed director of the department in 1998. Asked what’s the mission of her lab, she explained, “We have a very basic question that we’re trying to answer and that is: How do plants grow? How do they change the way they look, how fast will they grow and how big will they get, based on the environment that they are in?” “Plants are pretty different from us because we’re

born with all of our parts more or less in proportion, the parts just get bigger. A plant is born with those two little leaves, or one leaf depending if it’s a grass, and how it develops in its life depends on the environment. Once a plant germinates in an environment, it is literally stuck in that environment, Chory said. “It can’t run away; it can’t go inside. So if there is too much rain, it has to adapt; too much sun is bad, too little sun is bad, too much drought is bad. There are a lot of genes involved in growth and how a plant looks, she explained. “If it’s going to be long and skinny because it’s not getting enough light or if it’s short and bushy, with that same set of genes … So we are interested in the molecular mechanisms that say a plant looks short and bushy or long and skinny.” For example, she said, a lot of plants don’t like being in the shade of another plant because light is the source of food for plants in photosynthesis. A plant in the shade of another plant will grow rapidly and attempt to get over the other plant. “We’ve been trying to figure out how the plant does that — and it does that because of certain photoreceptors that are in the cells,” Chory said. “During the course of the day, the color of light changes. Because plants have different photoreceptors that detect different colors of light, a plant knows when it’s midday versus the end of the day. The photoreceptors let a plant know when there’s more red light relative to other colors of light, which tells a plant it’s noon time, and so on. “The light environment tells the plant the time of day, the time of year and whether or not it is in the shade of another plant. “It’s a very important basic problem for us to understand because it really dictates how well a plant is going to grow in a particular environment.” The applications and implications of this understanding, Chory said, are many and can be applied to wide variety of plants including corn, alfalfa, wheat, barley and sorghum. With global warming, scientists and plant breeders

need to know how plants will adapt to higher temperatures, which may force movement of population northward, Chory said. Also, modern agriculture’s regimented system of planting row upon row of plants densely and the natural tendency of plants to avoid the shade of other plants results in a significant loss of crop yield. Chory and her researchers demonstrated what happens when a photoreceptor is genetically withheld from a plant, providing researchers with a deeper understanding of a specific photoreceptor’s biology. Her team also discovered the biological role of plant steroids and showed that a subset of these steroids is actually hormones. They discovered how plants make this steroid hormone, how they respond to the steroid and how the steroid is involved in making a plant big versus making it as small as a bonsai plant. Discovery of the steroid pathway, Chory said, “means we can make a plant any size we want because we know enough about the genes in that pathway. “And we never would have figured that out if we couldn’t do plant genetics,” she said. “In my 23 years of doing plant biology,” she said, “now more than ever I can see the need for keeping funding at a good level. “Plants don’t get a lot attention in terms of research dollars from funding agencies,” she said. “We need to pay more attention to plants. They are going to play a major role in [solving] some big problems on the planet. “The planet is at a critical juncture. We need to feed nine billion people; we need to deal with the fact that there is not going to be enough fresh water to do it; so we’re going to have to figure out how to get more crop yield with less water. “The basic biology of plants is going to help people figure out how to feed the world.” Asked what in her estimation makes a good researcher? “You need patience, you need to be able to persevere through the hard times and you need grit,” she said. “You really gotta want to know the answers.”

Animal rights activists allege elephant abuse BY MARLENA MEDFORD STAFF WRITER Have Trunk Will Travel, a company that provides elephant rides at the San Diego County Fair, is being accused of serious abuse by a group of animal rights activists. An undercover video that was recently released by Animal Defenders International (ADI) purportedly shows a trainer striking a baby elephant with a sharp-ended heavy stick known as a bullhook. That elephant was later featured in the current blockbuster “Water For Elephants,” and therefore the allegations of abuse have garnered international attention. During the June 7 board meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association (22nd DAA), spokespeople from ADI, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the San Diego-based Animal Protection and Rescue League all publicly spoke out against the company, claiming it also uses high-voltage electrical prods to make the animals submissive. They all urged the board to exclude Have Trunk Will Travel from this year’s fair, or at least investigate the claims. 22nd DAA board president Barry Nussbaum said he had seen the video and discussed it at length with the director of San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park, who told him he was “not uncomfortable with what he saw.” However, Nussbaum also claimed that because he is not an animal expert, he was not entirely sure how to interpret the video. Therefore, he and the rest of the board agreed to direct staff to look into the allegations and get more input from other animal experts. Del Mar Fairgrounds CEO Tim Fennell also said that Have Trunk Will Travel has been a part of the San Diego County Fair for nearly 30 years, 18 of which he has witnessed. Based on his experience, he said he has a high opinion of Have Trunk Will Travel. “I have never received complaint from the public or staff,” he said of the company, adding that its owner Gary Johnson sits on the board of directors for the conservation

group International Elephant Foundation. Johnson has also released a written statement claiming the allegations of abuse are bogus. “We stand by our care and training methods,” he wrote. “These groups have no basis of knowledge or experience working with elephants. They have an agenda and a history of using less than honest means to achieve their goals.” Have Trunk Will Travel also provides elephant rides at the Santa Anna Zoo, and is currently being investigated for animal cruelty by that city’s staff.

Book shares tale of survival in North Korean concentration camp BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor Reverend Kim YungChol, 83, at first meeting appears very quietly spoken and understated. Yet beneath his tranquil exterior hides a terrible history that was hidden for many decades. This past has recently been brought to light in his book, “I Trust You” subtitled, “Only person survivor from Aoji in North Korea” [Woowon Publishing]. Kim’s book was originally published in Korea – his native country – in his native language. The book is a heartfelt autobiography of Kim’s recollections of his dark days when the Russian Secret Police arrested him in his hometown of Pyong Yang in North Korea when he was only a teenager. What followed were unimaginable conditions that he survived, largely due, in part, to his indomitable faith. “With God’s help I was able to survive all kinds of hardship,” said Kim of the atrocities he endured as a political prisoner. Chapters include his immediate family history, its Christian faith during communist oppression,

Life took a turn when, as a young man in the 1960s, Kim was adopted into an American family, then entered into the Drew Theological Seminary in New Jersey where he received his master’s degree in theology. Just prior to that, Kim’s undergraduate education had been completed at

Seoul Central Theological Seminary in 1958, when he undertook his first ministry as a preacher at the Seoul United Church. The heart of the book, however, describes Kim’s past experiences from 1947-1949, when he was a political prisoner in North Korea, arrested by the Soviet Union’s KGB at the age of 17. “The horrible, terrible torture and the hard-

ship that I had was because I was against communism,” said Kim, who is the third generation of the Christian ministry in his family. In 1947, Kim was initially incarcerated in Pyong Yang prison. From there he was moved up to the north of the country to Hamheung Prison. The moves continued as the Soviet KGB arrested more political dissenters, many of them young students, and the prisons overflowed. As the number of arrests swelled, the prisoners were transported by train to a final destination, Aoji Prison. Described by Kim as the “infamous human slaughterhouse,” the prison was located in the far north of Korea, close to the borders of China and Russia. The conditions there were unimaginable. “It became one of the most monstrous concentration camps in North Korea,” said Kim. It was 1949 when Kim was held captive in that prison, he was one among almost a 100,000 prisoners Temperatures dipped to — 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

was scant. “And after six months everyone was starving to death,” Kim recalled. There was strict control. There were no prayer meetings allowed and there was no communication with the outside. But as each prison cell housed 30 people, they were able to share their individual stories. This helped keep their spirits up, said Kim, and survive the daily interrogation and torture. As no one else has shared their stories about Aoji Prison, and there are no living survivors, Kim’s first-hand recollections have a meaningful place in history, he said. “I was strong, I was a teenager, and the youngest one there. That’s why I received a two-year sentence, most of the political prisoners received 5-10 year sentences. They called me ‘our baby’ in the prison.” When Kim was released, just prior to the start of the Korean War in 1950, he lost contact with his fellow inmates at Aoji and his memories were buried. “I could not explain it for a long time, I did not think about it. I closed it out of my mind,” he explained.

Kim went on to live a full life as a minister in the United Methodist Church in New Jersey. In 1984 he relocated to California when his wife, Sook, transferred her civilian job in computer programming with the Navy for a position in Long Beach. When that plant closed the couple moved to this area. Now 80, Sook recently received an award for her 40 years of continuous service with the Navy, and is now based in Point Loma. They have three adult children and seven grandchildren. Through the urging of family and close friends in Solana Beach, Kim handwrote his memoirs of Aoji in Korean, which were transferred into a computer database by three local students. The autobiography is one of four books that Kim has written and had published. “I Trust You” is the first to be released in English. Kim’s colleague and friend, Francis Bud Holeck, wrote the translation. More than a memoir, the book serves as a historic document, said Kim.

Couple’s multi-nut butter helping to improve lives of orphans BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Eating NuttZo multinut butter has more benefits than getting a healthy dose of Omega-3s — it is helping change the lives of the world’s orphans by the spoonful. Created by local mom Danielle LiVolsi, 1 percent of the gross sales of NuttZo goes to help Project Left Behind, a nonprofit she runs with her husband, Kevin, to support orphanages around the world with basic needs and care. In the three years since NuttZo and Project Left Behind were created, they have donated nearly $10,000. Adopting their two children Matthew and Gregory from Ukraine changed the LiVolsis’ lives in many ways. The new additions to their family were the impetus for NuttZo, as Danielle created the nut butter to help her children’s vitamin deficiencies. The organic, multi-nut butter combines Valencia peanuts with cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds and flax seeds. Their new peanut-free NuttZo is a sevennut- and-seed butter with all the ingredients of the original NuttZo, minus peanuts

Since 2009, the brand has expanded and grown, and is now available in more than 300 stores, including Jimbo’s, Whole Foods, Seaside Markets, Henry’s, Village Mill Bread Company, Zinc’s Café and Good On Ya Deli. Traveling to Ukraine twice to adopt Gregory in 2002 and Matthew in 2005 from separate orphanages, the couple’s eyes were opened to the plight of orphans there. They understood the problem was much bigger than Ukraine as UNICEF estimates there

are between 143 million to 210 million orphans worldwide. The creation of NuttZo also gave the couple the opportunity to establish Project Left Behind. Project Left Behind operates in three major categories: Human touch, surrogate nurturing and nutrition/health. Their projects have helped bring blankets to orphans in Haiti, furnished the House of Hope in Molo, Africa, with basic essentials, funded an Abandoned Babies and Children project in Kenya, and helped the SPOON Foundation’s orphan’s nutrition project in

Kazakhstan. The human touch category of their service is perhaps the most important, allowing Danielle and Kevin to travel to areas in need directly. In 2009, Danielle visited Nepal, both went to Guatamala in 2010, and in March, Danielle went to Bangkok, Thailand. “We go to these orphanages and find out what the needs really are,” Kevin said. “It’s daunting, overwhelming, when you see the scope of the problem worldwide.” While visiting Nepal, Danielle walked with the children to school every day and there were not always enough shoes for every child. She remembers a young 8-year-old girl walking to school in broken shoes that were much too big, crying every step of the way. The experience created one of NuttZo’s favorite projects, supplying shoes to Nepal’s Aishworya Orphanage children—it’s a project they’ve done every year since 2009. “It’s something I never would’ve seen unless I had visited,” Danielle said. In Thailand, Danielle learned that the biggest problems for children in

Kevin LiVolsi with an orphan in Guatemala Bangkok include the proliferation of child trafficking, as well as an AIDS epidemic among street kids. From her visit, Danielle hopes to get a project going to get AIDS medication to the children who cannot afford it. While the orphanage visits can be overwhelming, the benefits are huge—it resets Danielle and Kevin’s expectations of what they can do to help and keeps them more focused on their priorities. More than anything, the LiVolsis understand the importance of love, caring and education for these children. They are trying to work with orphanages to make it easier for people to

come volunteer—some of them only allow volunteers to come for a minimum of six months, which Kevin said cuts out a lot of people who would be able to come to serve for about a month, namely college students. To that end, Project Left Behind has set up relationships with about 100 colleges nationwide, hoping to raise awareness about these in-need places. “We can only do so much,” Kevin said of him and his wife, but noted that if all of those schools sent two or three students every year, the lasting effect could be powerful. “We want to raise awareness about these places and hope that the program really blows up,” Danielle said. “For a child to feel loved and cared about is so powerful and it’s so sad that so many don’t.” NuttZo is in the running for a $25,000 small business grant from Intuit. Each month a small business is selected to win the grant based on customer votes. To help them win, text 244326 and enter the code EATNUTTZO. Voting is free.

R. Roger Rowe students produce beautiful ocean mosaic, artwork BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer The R. Roger Rowe School seventh- and eighth-grade art class revealed their newest creation on May 31, a large ocean mosaic that will find a permanent home on the walls of the school. The students completed the work with help from teacher Janis Reeser and visiting artist Dr. Tim Lueker, a past president of the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild. “It was hard to do better than coral reef,” said Reeser, nodding to last year’s mosaic mural on the wall of the school by the art room, complete with a plaque listing all of the student artists’ names. ‘It turned out really nice.” Reeser said if they are lucky, Lueker will return next year to fill another school wall with another beautiful mural. Lueker said working with the students for the past three years has been a dream. “It gets better every year,” Lueker said. “It’s very exciting to see what the kids come up with. They keep me on my toes and I learn a lot from them.” This year’s six-panel, vertical mural had the theme of the kelp forest but Lueker said could also easily be named “Garibaldi gardens” as there were six different interpretations of the bright orange fish done by the students. Animals in the mosaic include a starfish, crab, great white shark, dolphin, eel, snail, stingray, lobster and California sea lion. The mosaic also showed life above the water, where students created a pelican, seagull in the sky and an otter floating on his back. All of the students contributed to fill in the mosaic to complete the water, rocks and kelp. The class came up with the design themselves and did all of the tile cutting, placing and grouting as well as researching their animals with help from Lueker who, in addition to being an artist, was a research scientist at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. “It was easy but it took a really long time,” said student Brandon Kim. Also shown in pictures on this page are students and artwork at RSF School’s June 1 Open House. The art room held an exhibit of artwork from students throughout the school. `

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Stanford-bound student earns numerous scholarships BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Stand-out student Anisha Mudaliar has been accepted to a roster of heavyweight colleges, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford and has racked up more than $30,000 in scholarship monies. The Pacific Ridge School senior with a 4.83 GPA is not only excellent academically but is extremely community service-minded, having gone on a service trip to Mexico last month, and she spent time building classrooms in Kenya in 2009. Anisha will head to India for a second time this summer to see a learning center be built for which she helped raise funds. On June 12, she’ll leave for Alabama to compete in the National Distinguished Young Women of America Finals, representing California. In the talent portion of the competition, she’ll show off her Indian classical dance, which she’s studied for the last 10 years. By the way, she picked Stanford and will head

Anisha Mudaliar there in the fall. Anisha is a very driven teenager, even though she doesn’t yet drive—she hasn’t found the time to get her driver’s license. “I find that when you’re passionate about something, you put all your effort into it,” said Anisha. “I am passionate about service work and science and I pursue those passions wholeheartedly.” Most recently, she received the Kyoto Prize Scholarship ($10,000), Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation scholarship ($10,000), the Athena Scholarship ($10,000), the National Merit Scholar ($2,500) and

the Annette I. Baughman Scholarship ($3,500). To win the $10,000 Coca-Cola scholarship, Anisha was selected out of about 71,000 entries. She was one of 250 who won the opportunity to travel to Atlanta and spend the week with fellow Coca Cola scholars, honored for their leadership in community service. Anisha was one of just three San Diego County students to receive a Kyoto scholarship, earning hers in the area of advanced technology. She also won the opportunity to meet Kyoto Prize winner Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, an internationally famous stem cell scientist. Her most recent service trip — to Punta Mita, Mexico in May — was a trip completely designed by Anisha and two fellow Pacific Ridge students. They spent 10 days with the PEACE (Protection, Education, Animals, Culture and Environment) organization. While there were many colleges courting her, Anisha felt Stanford was the best fit.

“I just like the spirit of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship; I liked the energy and I wanted to be around that energy,” Anisha said. As she is looking at studying international development and global health, Stanford provided the best interdisciplinary opportunities in both human biology and public policy. She said the options for her are incredible and she is not ruling out at-

tending Harvard later on for graduate school. “I’m really excited about what’s in store for the future,” Anisha said. Anisha will be among the first graduating class at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad. The school does not name valedictorians but Anisha was certainly the top of the class. She said she is appreciative of the “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to help build a school from the ground

up. “Pacific Ridge has definitely nurtured my growth over the past three years and I’m really glad I made the decision to attend,” Anisha said. “They have a focus on ethical responsibility and global engagement…They supported me and made me feel confident in pursuing what I was passionate about and taking action.”

Blog helps women on a budget make the most of their wardrobes

RSF Big Band

RSF Big Band goes Hollywood Academy Award-winning arrangements plus other movie favorites will be performed by the RSF Big Band, a 17-piece jazz orchestra at the Village Church (6225 Paseo Delicias) from 6-8:30 p.m. on Sunday evening June 26. Under the direction of professor and former president of the American Federation of Musicians, Jack Wheaton, with producer and trumpeter Dominick Addario, along with some of the finest players of big band music, this summer concert will present a nostalgic evening of “The Music of the Movies.” This indoor pops-like (bring your own wine and appetizers) concert/dance, celebrates its 11th year. The non-profit swing orchestra provides decorations, munchies, glasses and wine openers, table linens and of course the multi-talented musicians who hail from LA, Orange and San Diego Counties. Come Hollywood glitzy or country club casual, but be ready to enjoy an exceptional evening of entertainment. Tables of 10 may be reserved by calling Marie Addario, vocalist and event coordinator, at 858-756-4542. For more information log on to RSF Big Band’s web site: rsfbb.com. Tickets are $40 per person or $400 per table of 10. Individual tickets may be purchased at the RSF Association office until June 20. The holiday concert on Dec. 12 was a sell-out with over 300 people in attendance so reserve your tables of 10 early by calling Marie.

BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer It is a quandary most women have grappled with: What should I wear today? The question, albeit common, can be enough to leave some staring blankly into their closets. Lea Fischer and her niece Kimara Kuspa have now made it their mission to help women make the most of their wardrobes via their blog KandLCloset.com. “This is about helping everyday women look and feel their best,” said Kuspa, who is a Torrey Pines High School graduate. “We give women tips for looking trendy and put together, all while staying on budget.” Fischer and Kuspa said the concept grew out of their long-standing love of fashion, which has bonded them. The duo would spend hours combing through fashion magazines and websites as a pastime, so using that as a means to help other women just felt like a natural progression, they said. Based on the trends they spot, Fischer and Kuspa compile easy-to-browse lists, and write blog posts that help women piece together those looks. “When you look your best, you carry yourself with a certain confidence and class,” added Fischer, who also grew up in the area and is a Torrey Pines graduate. Because they believe feeling the part goes hand-in-hand with looking the part, the women have included a “Pearls of Wisdom,” a portion on their blog that offers life lessons geared toward women. “Not all of us have a mother or big sister we can turn to for advice,” Fischer said, who

Kimara Kuspa and Lea Fischer, creators of KandLCloset.com. is also a mother of two children. “Girls and women today are dealing with so much negative influence and stress. It is so important for them to have that support network, so we really wanted to provide that.” Ultimately, the women hope the website turns into a forum where women can share fashion tips and finds — as well as share advice on issues related to being a woman. “We love feedback and we very much want to hear what people want from this website,” Kuspa said. “This is a passion for us, and that feedback is what keeps us going.” For more information, visit www.kandlcloset.com or email kandlcloset@gmail.com.

The Cambridge School Music OPERA continued from page 1 operas in San Diego, Bach ColleMemory Team earns gold ribbons form gium aims to fill a void by producing

Twelve Cambridge students in third through fifth grades participated in the third annual Hunter Family Music Memory Countywide Finals May 18 at the Birch North Park Theatre. Each student took home a gold ribbon, a difficult and rare achievement for such a challenging competition. In addition, the Cambridge fifth/sixth grade team was one of only three teams to score 100 percent. Music Memory is a nationally recognized program that is designed to give students in grades 3 through 6 a life-long love of music. A committee of elementary music education experts selects works from the Renaissance through Contemporary periods, and the students identify each work after hearing several measures played with varying instruments. In the most difficult part of the competition, students try to identify the work after hearing a single chord. Through their participation in the Music Memory program, all Cambridge third, fourth, fifth, and (starting next year) sixth graders memorize not only the melodies of great works of music, but also study musical terms, instrumental and vocal tone colors, musical form, and the historical and cultural significance of the music. As the Cambridge music teacher, Lyudmila Rockett explains: “Our students’ hard work over the course of the year enabled them to successfully identify the major themes of musical selections as well as the secondary themes, middle sections and endings. I am very proud of them!” For more information, visit www.cambridgeclassical.org

17th century pieces. The ensemble puts on most of its performances in La Jolla in concert style, but searched for a new place for this show. “We looked at lots of venues and this one seemed to be the right size,” Valenzuela said. “We’ve been trying for some time to do a performance in Rancho Santa Fe.” This will be their first staged performance—a cast of 40 tackling “Dido and Aeneas,” “It’s continuing to be a big undertaking,” Valenzuela said.

the administration could have legally prevented its publication,” he concluded. Broyles also objected to the survey, saying it violated section 51513 of the California Education Code, which states in part: “No test, questionnaire, survey, or examination containing any questions about the pupil’s personal beliefs or practices in sex, family life, morality, and religion … shall be administered to any pupil … unless the parent or guardian of the pupil is notified in writing … and the parent or guardian of the pupil gives written permission …” “There can be no dispute that a survey was issued to 263 TPHS students containing questions about their personal beliefs and practices in sex, family life, morality, and religion,” Broyles wrote. “The article itself admits as much on its face.” Broyles said surveys can be conducted informally but certain subjects cannot be broached without prior parental permission, and parents who contacted him said they were never notified or asked if their children could participate in such a survey. “There are certain topics that kids are not supposed to be surveyed on without the parents’ knowledge in advance,” he said. “We’re not saying no surveys at all. We’re saying no surveys about private, sexual and religious matters.” Noah said the district and its legal counsel interpret 51513 differently, saying the code prohibits school staff from administering sensitive surveys to students without prior parental notification and approval. But it does not apply to surveys conducted by students, who he said have free speech rights that staff cannot by law restrict, no matter how delicate or personal the subject. “Since this survey was not conducted by district staff or for any official purpose, any student who was informally approached by a fellow pupil was not under any obligation to provide answers,”

recting at UC San Diego’s theatre and dance department, staged the opera. The principal singers, as well as the orchestra musicians, are coming from across the country. Dido will be played by mezzo soprano Janelle DeStefano and tenor Scott Mello will play Aeneas. The opera tells the story of the two Greek mythological figures’ interplay. “It’s a classic love story,” said Valenzuela, describing how Dido woos Aeneas but supernatural forces do everything they can to keep them apart, even conjuring up a storm. Aeneas eventually abandons her and a distraught Dido sings the famous

Noah said. “They seem to say that if the students do the improper survey, it’s not improper under the code,” Broyles said. He said the school’s staff and newspaper adviser should have known about the survey before it was conducted and understood that it was illegal. “I find it very hard to believe that the faculty adviser didn’t know that a survey was done by the students,” he said. Broyles asked for an apology in the next issue of “The Falconer,” training of staff and future discretion. “It does not appear that any sort of retraction is warranted,” responded Noah. Equal access in middle schools In a letter to Earl Warren Middle School principal Anna Pedroza dated Jan. 25, Broyles said the Fellowship of Christian Athletes club, now known as The Pulse, should be given “equal access to be able to invite and host off-campus speakers and guests.” He said youth pastors have been “improperly banned,” and the club has not been permitted to advertise like other groups, read from the Bible, or offer free food. In his memo to Pedroza, Broyles wrote, “Except for legitimate safety concerns, the administration may not dictate to the club what can and cannot be said in their meetings, such as placing restrictions on whether the Bible is discussed or whether prayer occurs at the meeting.” Noah rejected these points, saying, “Anything that we allow for clubs, we allow for all clubs. Anything we don’t allow, we don’t allow for all clubs as well. We don’t treat these any differently than others.” Noah acknowledged that written district policy surrounding clubs currently specifies only high schools, but he emphasized that middle schools have always followed the high school policy. “The de facto practice at the middle schools has been what we do at the high schools,” he said. Nevertheless, Noah agreed that the policy needs to be expanded to include middle schools in writing as well. “That case looks like it’s resolving itself,” Broyles said. “They don’t have a written

aria “Dido’s Lament” as she dies. The opera will feature simple sets and with just three acts it’s a very short opera, only an hour in length, Valenzuela said. If all goes well, Valenzuela said he hopes this is not Bach Collegium’s last time in the Ranch. “We would love to come back to Rancho Santa Fe on a semi-permanent basis because a lot of folks that come to our La Jolla for concerts are coming from Rancho Santa Fe,” said Valenzuela. Tickets range from $20-$50. For tickets or more information, visit bachcollegiumsd.org or call (619) 341-1726.

equal access policy for middle schools, but they committed to create one.” Noah said this is a minor technicality and not a concession. “We did not change policy or direction,” he said. Regarding free snacks like pizza and allowing preachers or pastors to talk to students during school hours, these are “going beyond what would be the normal bounds of trying to entice students [into clubs],” Noah said. “We did not agree to do those kinds of things.” At Carmel Valley Middle School, Broyles defended a student who was prohibited by a teacher from posting a message about Christmas on the school bulletin board. In an April 5 letter to the district, he said it was “government censorship of a student’s religious speech” which he called a “flagrant violation of students’ constitutional rights.” In attempting to be fair, the teacher “trample[d] on the rights of religious students,” showed “ignorance of the law,” and censored free speech. Noah said that although the school’s bulletin board is entitled “to some First Amendment protection,” it is not unlimited. “It is our position that the bulletin board, which has the purpose of showcasing student events and achievements, may be practically limited to preserve the board’s secular nature,” he wrote in his letter. “I feel this is reasonable, particularly in light of the school’s captive audience of students who are required to be on campus.” Broyles said Noah’s comments about the bulletin board “were by far the most disappointing to us, legally and factually,” and he recommended in his letter that all staff be given “constitutional sensitivity training.” Anti-Christian In reaction to the news that an assembly to supplement history lessons about Islam was held at Diegueno Middle School last fall featuring a Muslim speaker, Broyles sent a letter to the district March 15 requesting a Christian history assembly for seventh-graders, “highlighting the contributions Christianity has made to society and world history.” He said this would dispel

“any misconception that parents or students may have that the school may be favoring Islam over other religions being studied throughout the course of the year.” “After due consideration, I am denying this request,” wrote Noah, who said seventhgrade history standards cover the years 500 to 1789 of the Common Era, which is the period when Islam emerged. It is the sixth-grade curriculum that focuses on the origins of Christianity, he said. “We thought it was a reasonable request to have an assembly on a topic that’s covered in the curriculum, and they denied that request,” Broyles said. “That’s not something we can necessarily coerce them to do.” More troubling to Noah was the following statement in an email from Broyles, dated May 12, that read, “Employing your discretion to permit the assembly would be a wonderful way to dispel any notions that the [district] is anti-Christian.” “The implication of this statement is profoundly disturbing to me on a personal and professional level,” Noah wrote in his letter to Broyles. “As the leader of this school district, it is my moral, ethical and legal responsibility to ensure that students of all faiths enjoy the rights and privileges to which they are entitled by law.” But Broyles said it was Noah who first said in a private meeting that the tone of Broyles’ letters indicated that some parents may believe the district to be anti-Christian. “I said that if you’re concerned about dispelling that perception, this [assembly] would be a good way to do so,” Broyles said. “I wasn’t implying in any way that he or the district was anti-Christian.” The Western Center for Law & Policy is a non-profit legal defense organization which, according to its Web site, is “dedicated to the protection and promotion of religious freedom, parental rights and other civil liberties.” The San Dieguito Union High School District serves about 12,000 students in grades 7-12 at nine middle and high schools in the north coastal area of San Diego County.

FOUNDATION continued from page 6 erful than the strongest military.” As a strong ambassador for education, Beriker has a wish. “I’d like to see other people in the community get involved with the RSF Education Foundation, not just the school parents, because the people we are investing in are our future. They need the power of education.” Wells Fargo Financial services are a key to the vitality of a community. In today’s difficult economic environment, this is especially true. “For more than 150 years, Wells Fargo has helped generations of families build, manage, preserve and transfer their wealth,” said Pete Morimoto SVP, private client advisor, Wells Fargo Wealth Management Group. “Wells Fargo is proud to support organizations working to strengthen our communities, such as the RSF Education Foundation. Through our team member volunteers and our contributions, we share our success with our communities.” The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center Working together since

1971…As the Community Center celebrates its 40th Anniversary, the RSF Education Foundation thanks them for being one of the school’s oldest partners. Originally started in conjunction with the school, the Community Center Founders gifted their original facility, the current gymnasium, to the school assuming a joint use agreement that is still honored to this day. “The Community Center is proud to preserve our relationship which spans over two decades!” says Executive Director, Erin Leahey. “Because we are in such close proximity, the school can always count on the Community Center when they are in a pinch or need a safe place for their students to go after school.” Stump’s Village Market Many of our neighbors enjoy frequent stops at Stump’s in the Village for its’ gourmet foods, convenience, and friendly service. It not only serves as our “corner store”, but is a frequent stop for the kids for an afterschool snack. Matthew Basham, Store Manager, says, “We are a safe place for the kids to come. We want them to feel we’re a part of the community, that if they need something they can come to us.” He continues, ”I’ve been here

for nearly 15 years, so I’ve seen a lot of these kids grow up. The teachers and staff also come in.” Giving to the school and Education Foundation is nothing new for Stump’s. From providing a palette of Lysol wipes during the swine flu epidemic, to their yearly donations of food, water, and ice for Foundation events, they have always been supportive of the school community. Basham explains, “Especially with the school funding issues now it’s even more important to support however we can.” Caffe Positano “Being there” for each other is one of the joys that bind us together as a community on the Ranch. Through the ongoing ups and downs all around us, Rancho Sandwich and Caffe Positano remain committed to the ideals and the relationships they share with the RSF Education Foundation and the RSF School District. Tim Cusac, owner, states, “Our commitment takes various forms, from the tangible -- the breakfasts we serve to parents and kids en route to school, the many choices of school lunches we hand to 50 plus students

each day and providing refreshment at events like Field Day and the Halloween Carnival -to the qualitative like the planning, creative ideas and problem-solving I have the opportunity to contribute with talented event and committee chairs. The sweat (and occasional tears!) of our mutual efforts are rewarded not only by the fundraising and cost reduction we can often achieve for the RSFEF, but by the pure fun it is to work with enthusiastic parents and see the happy faces of the students enjoying what we do for them.” Cusac sums it up this way, “We love “being there” for you, and we are grateful that you are there for us!” Connelly Residential Group – Coldwell Banker RSF The Connelly Residential Group shares its educational vision and values through the community. Brian Connelly, President of CRG, is proud to be both a financial supporter and committed advocate for the continued success of the RSF Education Foundation. “Roger Rowe K-8 is integral to the overall desirability of Rancho Santa Fe. I meet parents all of the time that are choosing to relocate to our community just because of the school,” says Connelly. “The RSF Education Foundation’s efforts provide a life long gift to all of our children. Having two children at the school, I am able to witness this first hand.” Frank Financial Services Todd Frank (CPA, MBA) is the proprietor of Frank Financial Services, an investment management and financial planning firm. Frank, a Community Partner as well as a parent at RSF School, sees the value of supporting the Education Foundation from both perspectives. “It’s all about the kids. There is a direct, positive impact of my time and my money to improve the base of education and experiences of my children and their peers,” says Frank. “Aside from the home, this ‘school experience’ is the fundamental basis for their knowledge and appetite for life-long learning.” Thank you to our partners! The RSF Education Foundation and the school community are especially grateful for the support of the local businesses through the Community Partners Program. The Community Partners are remarkable in their commitment to the community and to the educational development of our children. On behalf of all the families, the RSF Education Foundation wants to give them a big thank you!

“Residents, businesses, and environmentalists want to balance the need to keep commerce flowing on the highway while improving air quality and protecting our coastal lagoons.” The I-5 expansion has been met with strong opposition throughout North County, with hundreds turning out to publicly speak against it and

prompting a few grassroots groups forming to fight it. While SB 468 does not stop the I-5 expansion, supporters say it does address many community concerns. “I am so pleased that Senator Kehoe was able to move this legislation through the first big hurdle in the complex legislative process up in Sacramento,” said Dave Roberts, Solana Beach City Councilman and North County Transit District Executive Committee Board member. “This legislation is critical to protect

our Solana Beach quality of life and ensure that public transit and freeway options work hand-in-hand, providing critical long-term funding from managed lanes to support public transit. Our residents and businesses strongly support a balanced solution that protects our fragile seaside community, yet improves transit options, including funding improved Coaster and Breeze public transit options now.”

Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club hike a success! A group of Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club members—as well as other RSF residents and local participants— who spent a year prepping to conquer the Grand Canyon’s Rim to Rim hike on May 28 successfully completed their mission. Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club President Patrick Galvin and Rancho Santa Fe Association Manager Pete Smith organized the journey. The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary hike on May 28 began on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon at 5 a.m. and ended on the South Rim of the Canyon with the last hiker leaving the Canyon about 7:30 p.m. The starting elevation was 8,200 feet and the temperature was in the mid-40s when the hike began. The first 14 miles were downhill to Phantom Ranch where the elevation is 2,400 feet and the temperature was approaching 100 degrees. All the hikers would agree that the real hike began at Phantom Ranch as they climbed almost 5,000 over 9 miles to get to the South Rim of the Canyon. Everyone made it out of the Canyon, more or less under their own power, having hiked 23 miles across what is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest nature wonders. The hike was sponsored by the RSF Rotary Club and was actually a family affair. There were four husband and wife teams, including Patrick and Helen Galvin, Dick and Lauren Showen, Dan and Jeri Bennett, and John and Deana Ingalls. Additionally, there was a father-son team in John and John (Jr.) Ingalls, a motherdaughter team with Mindy and Amy Scarano, and a father-daughter team in Pete and Caroline Smith. Two past Association board members — Jim Ashcraft and Steve Shillington — also made the hike along with Glenn Plummer, the husband of Deb Plummer who is currently on the board. Almost everyone came to the conclusion that it was a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

Summer jazz series gets under way at the Athenaeum

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Summer concerts return to the 150-seat Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Room at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library with the annual Farrell Family Jazz series. It opens at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 14 with the Gilbert Castellanos Quartet and guest trumpeter James Zollar. This performance opens a yearlong series, “Night of the Cookers: Tribute to the Trumpet Masters,” hosted by San Diego– based trumpet-master Castellanos at a variety of venues. For this concert, he leads Eric Reed on piano, Hamilton Price on bass, and NYCbased drummer Willie Jones III. Recognized as a new American master by DownBeat, Castellanos has established himself among the nation’s most inventive improvisers. He is joined for this show by fellow trumpeter James Zollar, who makes his first Athenaeum appearance since 2004. Zollar spent his high school and early adult years in San Diego, moving in 1985 to New York City. Zollar’s credits include work with artists such as the Duke Ellington and Count Basie orchestras, Don Byron, David Murray, Mongo Santamaria, Frank Foster, and Wynton Marsalis’ Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.

Gilbert Castellanos Next up Friday, July 1 is a return visit by Israeli clarinetist and saxophonist Anat Cohen, who made her Athenaeum debut last spring with a tribute to Benny Goodman. She will be joined by Joe Martin on bass, Daniel Freedman on drums, and a pianist to be announced. She is conversant with modern and traditional jazz, classical music, Brazilian choro, Argentine tango, and an expansive timeline of Afro-Cuban styles. The series continues Thursday,

July 21 with a return performance by New York–based vocalist Kendra Shank, with Hamilton Price on bass, and two musicians to be announced on piano on drums. Shank’s most recent CD, “A Spirit Free: Abbey Lincoln Songbook,” was listed among the top jazz CDs of 2007. The Boston Globe commented, “This vocalist makes lyrics believable, invents like an instrumentalist, and has an ear second to none for little-known and unknown tunes. She also functions

like a true equal with her excellent rhythm section.” The series ends Wednesday, July 27 with a San Diego debut by NYC-based Edmar Castaneda Trio, featuring improvising Colombian harpist Castaneda with trombonist Marshall Gilkes, and drummer/percussionist Dave Silliman. A native of Bogota, Castaneda has been taking New York and major international jazz festivals by storm with his unique approach to Latin jazz via the traditional Colombian arpa llanera. In addition to leading his own groups, he’s been chosen as a guest soloist by artists like Paquito D’Rivera, Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, John Scofield, and John Patitucci. JazzTimes commented “the phenomenal Colombian harpist Edmar Castaneda, whose technically astounding approach to the instrument has been registering with ‘scenesters’ over the past year, covers independent, heavily grooving bass lines with his left hand while chording and also running counterpoint melodies and dazzling triplet figures with his right hand. [He brings] a kind of Charlie Hunter or Joe Passian approach to the harp.”

Inness’ paintings of Italy ‘molto bello’ in new show at Timken The Timken Museum of Art will be the exclusive West Coast venue for “George Inness in Italy,” an exhibition of Italian landscapes by the American painter, June 10-Sept. 18. Organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this is the first exhibition to examine Inness’s two Italian sojourns (1851– 1852 and 1870–1874) and their impact on his experimentation with style, composition, and subject as he sought inspiration in both the art of the Old Masters and his personal experiences of the places they painted. A highlight of the exhibition is the Timken’s own “L’Ariccia” (1874), Inness’s most representative of the three paintings exhibited from his second trip to Italy. For Inness, Italy provided the paradigm of the “civilized landscape,” which he held up as the “ideal” for its ability to express human sentiment through nature, famously

Painter George Inness • Born: Newburgh, N.Y., May 1, 1825 • Died: Bridge of Allan in Scotland, Aug. 3, 1894 • Work influenced by the Old Masters, the Hudson River school, the Barbizon school, and, finally, by the theology of Emanuel Swedenborg, whose spiritualism found vivid expression in the work of Inness’ maturity. He’s best known for these works that helped define the Tonalist Movement. • Personal: Married Delia Miller in 1849. She died a few months later. In 1850, he married Elizabeth Abigail Hart. They had six children. • His son, George Inness, Jr., who also became a landscape painter of note, was born in Paris. declaring that the aim of art “is not to instruct, not to edify, but to awaken an

emotion.” The show will offer visitors 10 oil paintings

and one watercolor. Inness’s first major work completed in Italy, “Twilight on the Campagna” (1851) Philadelphia Museum of Art, has not been on view since 1952. Its reemergence and restoration, precipitated by a publication of Inness’s entire body of work issued in 2007, constituted a significant rediscovery. Each landscape is filled with a poetic sentiment, encapsulating the topography with an “orchestrated intricacy.” Inness enjoyed his most productive years during his second stay in Italy. His paintings sold well, both as mementos for affluent American travelers, and as progressive stylistic experiments for leading collectors of American landscape painting. Inness is admired as the pioneer of Tonalism, distinguished by soft focus and diaphanous layers of paint. Although Inness returned to the states in 1874, he continued to

‘Twilight on the Campagna,’ 1851, by George Inness paint Italian compositions and honed the Tonalist aesthetic that began with his first trip to Italy in 1851. Works on display include “Classical Landscape,” 1850; “A Bit of the Roman Aqueduct,” 185253; “St. Peter’s, Rome,” 1857; “Lake Nemi,” 1857; “Lake Albano,” 1869; “Pines and Olives at Albano,” 1873; “New Perugia,” 1879; “Upland Village in the Italian Tyrol,” 1873; and “Valley of Cadore,” 1873.

Dr. Barbara Brody, founder of the EyeMobile, presents a certificate of appreciation to members of Speaking Out for Others. From right: Angelina Woo, Brian Sandler, Gilad Moscowitz, Glen Borok, and Daniel King.

RSF resident among philanthropic teens providing a voice for those in need Five philanthropically-minded high school students from Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) organized a speech and music festival on Saturday, May 21, in Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Auberge amphitheatre to benefit the UCSD EyeMobile, a mobile eye clinic that provides eye care to young children in need throughout San Diego County. The teen non-profit group, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speaking Out for Others,â&#x20AC;? was formed two years ago by CCA junior Daniel King, 17, as a way to provide a voice for those in need. According to King, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can use our voice to help speak for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, then we have done our job as good citizens to help advance the causes of those in need.â&#x20AC;? This was the third event of the speech troupe. Each teen took their turn at the podium detailing the impact of low vision on a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational progress, and inspiring passersby to donate to the mobile Eye Clinic. According to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speaking Out for Othersâ&#x20AC;? member Brian Sandler, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The EyeMobile provides hope for an education, hope for a way out of poverty, and hope for the future.â&#x20AC;? The other troupe members Glen Borok, Angelina Woo, and Gilad Moskowitz provided equally inspirational words to raise voluntary donations. The UCSD EyeMobile screens hundreds of young children annually. By visiting underserved communities, the mobile eye clinic identifies and treats eye disorders at an early age, when treatment can make a large impact. At the fundraiser, members of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speaking Out for Othersâ&#x20AC;? challenged the community to see the world through the eyes of those who cannot. Group members continuously reminded their audience that a simple donation of $48 was enough to give the gift of sight to one child. Their efforts were further enhanced by their back-up band Street Heart and by the Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Auberge Hotel, which generously donated 50 lunches that were sold to aid in fundraising. Ultimately, the fundraiser was a rousing success. Within the course of two hours, the group managed to raise $3,000 in donations from members of the public, including a matched donation by their corporate sponsor Home Dialysis Therapies of San Diego. All proceeds were gratefully received by the EyeMobileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, Dr. Barbara Brody. Because of the efforts of this philanthropic group of teens, 58 more children in San Diego will be given the gift of sight. If you would like to donate to the EyeMobile, please contact via email: shileyeye.ucsd.edu/eyemobile or call the UCSD Division of Community Opthalmology at (858) 8222831.

Bertrand at Mister A’s offers 360-degree views of America’s Finest City. The halibut is the signature dish right now, while it is in season from Alaska.

At Bertrand at Mister A’s, the fare steps up to the view BY WILL PARSON owering above Banker’s Hill is a 360-degree panorama that perhaps only a true San Diegan can fully appreciate. The all-inclusive view bares all, and the trained eye can spend an entire meal at Bertrand at Mister A’s just picking out local landmarks. It’s the view that helped make the original Mister A’s the place to be from the 1960s to the 1980s. But its revival a decade ago is more a testament to owner Bertrand Hug’s well-choreographed staff, which knows full well that every night is special for someone at one of the city’s most romantic restaurants. Hug’s favorite time to be on the deck is indeed at night, when he says downtown really sparkles. A San Diegan since 1973, Hug said the view impressed him well before he became the owner. “I wanted to buy (Mister A’s) forever,” he said. “Any time I would pick up friends or family at the airport, I would take them immediately up to the restaurant to show them my city.” After taking over in 2000, Hug completely redecorated the redvelvet interior and furnished the deck that had so impressed him

■ This week: Bertrand at Mister A’s European White Asparagus Soup from Chef Stephane Voitzwinkler in the first place. Nowadays the patio offers a more casual experience at a place formerly associated with dinner jackets. And for six years, Chef de Cuisine Stéphane Voitzwinkler has worked with Hug to produce an American menu with French and Mediterranean accents, buying the freshest ingredients from local sources like Chino Farms in Rancho Santa Fe. “Our thing is changing the menu pretty much once a week or every two weeks to adapt to what is freshest,” said Hug. “We buy whatever is going to be the best.” Very recent additions to the

menu include line-caught, grilled Copper River salmon, sautéed wild Alaskan halibut, as well as a prime rib eye from Brandt Beef. The dinner menu really goes all out, so bear that in mind when you get your check. Aside from the view, the additional advantage of sitting outside (or at the bar) is that you are able to order off the patio and happy hour menus. This is likely the best way to get a low-key introduction to Bertrand at Mister A’s. At a restaurant that doesn’t hold back, even the macaroni and cheese (and the truffle fries) have quite a reputation of their own.

Hands-on exhibits will have guests playing a goofy game of hopscotch, climbing a structure of giant multi-sided shapes, crawling through corkscrew tunnels and creating geometric works of art — all while exploring the patterns, angles, arcs and shapes that make up the most visual branch of math. In addition to more than 20 informative exhibits, the show includes the Geometry Garden Pavilion, a collection of natural and manmade curiosities created by artists and craftspeople (from crystals to spiraling seashells) revealing the beauty that emerges from the basic rules of geometry. “Geometry Playground” is a traveling exhibition, produced by the Exploratorium in San Francisco and funded, in part, by a grant from the Viterbi Family Foundation. While at the Science Center, take in an IMAX film in the Heikoff Dome Theater,

Arthritis: Recognition, treatment and prevention BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, arthritis is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most common cause of disability and comprises more than 100 differTerrie Litwin ent rheumatic diseases and conditions. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis. Other frequently occurring types of Arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and gout. Approximately 50 million U.S. adults have received a diagnosis of arthritis from their physicians. As the U.S. population grows and ages, the number is expected to increase to 67 million by the year 2030. An estimated 21 million U.S. adults report that their daily activities are limited by arthritis. Each year arthritis results in over 900,000 hospital admissions and 44 million outpatient visits. There is evidence that arthritis has been around since the beginning of civilization. It is thought to be one of the oldest diseases in the world. In 4500 BC, arthritis, first seen in the remains of dinosaurs, was discovered in human beings. It was seen in the skeletal remains of Native Americans of Tennessee and parts of modern day Olathe, Kansas. Sometime around 500 BC, a wonder drug known as willow bark gained notoriety when it was discovered that it could help relieve some of the aches and pains of arthritis. The active substance in willow bark was identified by European scientists as salicin in

the early 1820s. Once salicin was isolated, they found it was harmful to the stomach. Eighty years later, in 1897, Felix Hoffman, an employee of Bayer Company, then a dye production company, learned how to isolate the compound and make it less damaging to the stomach. Hoffman was trying to help his father who was suffering from arthritis and in 1899, Bayer Company trademarked Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discovery under the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aspirinâ&#x20AC;?. Other medication discoveries followed with differing degrees of success. On Friday, June 17, at 10 a.m., Dr. Christopher Hunt, with Home Physicians Medical Group, will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arthritis: Recognition, Treatment, and Prevention.â&#x20AC;? Christopher Hunt, M.D. is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician who began his training by completing his pre-medical curriculum at Stanford University. Dr. Hunt received a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Human Biology with an area of concentration in the Neurobiology of Human Behavior. After Stanford, he attended Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. After receiving his M.D. from Vanderbilt, Dr. Hunt completed his Internal Medicine internship and residency at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. Since 1999, he has served as the Medical Director for Home Physicians Medical Group, Inc. and has been instrumental in providing thousands of San Diego county seniors access to the highest level of in-home physician care. He is also on staff at Scripps-Mercy Hospital and is an active member of the California Medical Association and the San Diego County Medical Society.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Family law attorney’s special Tobi Blatt Studio in Solana Beach certification an invaluable asset for clients offers fashion at discount prices BY MARLENA MEDFORD STAFF WRITER After more than 20 years of professional experience, family law attorney Jim Ratzer has developed a skill set that distinguishes him from most. Ratzer is a Certified Family Law Specialist, meaning he is among a select group who has completed an extensive certification process — and he also has worked many years in commercial litigation, which has provided him with valuable trial experience that is not common for family law attorneys. “Whether you litigate or mediate, you need to work with an attorney who has enough time in the courtroom to know how the judge will apply his or her discretion,” Ratzer explained, who is also a Judge Pro Tem with the San Diego County Superior Court. Ratzer’s extensive knowledge of the courtroom means he also knows when it may be possible to avoid it. “You only want to go to court when you have to. If you don’t have that knowledge, you may end up going to court to fight over something that’s not necessary, which is a waste of time, money and energy.” Ratzer, who lives in Solana Beach and has offices in Carmel Valley, said he ultimately transitioned from commercial litigation into family law because he found it to be a natural fit for his personality, and feels it is highly rewarding work. “In family law, I really feel like I am helping someone every day,” he said. Ratzer also prides himself on providing plenty of personal attention to his clients by ensuring that he is highly accessible, and delving into the details of each case that he takes on. “My cases are not just another file — I care about each one,” he said. “During a divorce, emotions can run high and cause things to spin out of control. It’s important you have an attorney who can provide you with sound legal advice, and

Jim Ratzer help make good decisions for you and your family.” Understanding all the legal implications of divorce can be overwhelming. For that reason, Ratzer volunteers his time every month to a divorce workshop at Mira Costa College. Some of these workshops are geared toward women and some are tailored toward men. A schedule and descriptions of these clinics can be found at secondsaturday.com. Ratzer Family Law is located at 12750 High Bluff Drive, suite 100. For more information, please call 858793-7700 or visit www.jimratzer.com.

Everything inside the Solana Beach store is 60 to 70 percent off the original retail price. “It’s like a little secret,” co-owner Ben Blatt said. “Women can spend hours in here, there’s so much stuff to look at.” The studio is located across the street from Fidel’s Little Mexico on Genevieve Street. While the space may be small, no inch is wasted as it is fully stocked with merchandise. Blatt, who has a background in retail management, sharpened his fashion knowledge working at Tobi Blatt’s other locations over the years. Their store in Carmel Valley opened 15 years ago. They additionally have a small store on Cedros Avenue and have been at that location for about two years. Blatt said he loves being in the new studio space, interacting with customers and helping them find a good deal. The studio has everything from the simplest t-shirts and basic tanks to high-end lines such as Rozae Nichols, Common Threads, Velvet, Graham and Spencer and Joie. Not only are the pieces in the studio rare finds that shoppers might not find anywhere

Santa Fe Christian graduates receive record number of college acceptances A new chapter begins for Santa Fe Christian Schools’ Class of 2011, as the seniors toss their caps and look ahead to college. More than 450 acceptances were received from 147 colleges and universities, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Duke, UCLA and Vanderbilt to name just a few. With these acceptances came more than $10 million in merit scholarships. College applications were submitted in record numbers according to Newsweek Magazine, noting, “selective colleges across the country received an avalanche of applications this year.” According to the Office of the President, the University of California had more than 106,000 applicants with UCLA receiving a staggering 61,000 applications. Those statistics didn’t intimidate SFC Valedictorian Juliet Snyder. She will be attending Harvard, which has an admittance rate of just 6.3 percent and received an all-time high of 35,000 applicants. The student’s college selections reflect a wide diversity of disciplines. Jenny O’Brien is thrilled to be on her way to New York City where she will attend The Parsons School for Design, a leader in art and design education. Caroline Hernandez and Andy Kramer, recipients of the SFCS Headmasters Award, will be attending Stanford and Texas Christian University, respectively. Andy received TCU’s highest honor, the Chancellor’s Scholarship, which garnered him a full scholarship for four years valued by the university at over $125,000. Salutatorian Elise Wilson, who will be going to Yale, notes, “The hard work paid off in the end!” Santa Fe counselors Steve Strimple and Nancy Olah observe, “It was great to see so many students do well with their college selections. Many students set their college goals in 9th grade and it was a privilege to partner with them and their parents on their journey.” Santa Fe Christian Schools is a Pre-K through 12th grade college preparatory school located in Solana Beach.

North Shore wins Riptide Tournament. Front Row: Lauren Scheg, Mikaila Reyes, Erin Vandertie, Maddie Ley, Morgan McIntyre, and Chase Zapata. Back Row: Kent Zapata, Kennedy Kidd, Ally Harvey, John McIntyre, Christina Bragado, Es Reyes, Nicole Anderson, Sydny Poh, Dave Vandertie, Sophie Ausmus, and Tim Scheg.

North Shore’s 12U gold all-stars battle to win Riptide Tourney The 12U gold all-star team of the North Shore Girls Softball League battled highly competitive teams over three days to take the win in its division of the Riptide Tournament, sponsored by the Oceanside Girls Softball Association. Elite leagues from Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties participated in the first all-star tournament of the season. North Shore emerged from pool play in second place and took on Scripps Ranch to win 4-1. North Shore went on to win against Imperial Beach by one run during the most highly contested game of the tournament. Lead-off hitter Christina Bragado went three for three at bat, scoring two of North Shore’s four runs, including the game winner. “The game was a battle from the first pitch to the final out, with girls competing for every inch of the field,” said North Shore manager, Kent Zapata. “It was the most intense game

Varsity team with Head Coach Nico Kintz and Varsity Coach Megan Milder, CCA Swim and Dive Team banquet at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.

CCA swim and dive teams set records at CIF At the Division II Championships held at Del Norte High School on May 21, Canyon Crest Academy swimmer Annabel Tomes set not only a new school record in the 50 Free but also a CIF record with her time of 23.67 seconds, winning the championship in the event. Several additional CCA school records were set during CIF competition this year, including Ariel Vacheron’s score of 178.1 in the 1m Dive and swimmer times of 2:17.68 in the 200 IM by Carly Rasmussen, 51.71 in the 100 Free by Annabel Tomes, 1:47.29 in the 200 Free by Matthew Briscoe, 1:54.40 in the 200 Free by Annabel Tomes, 5:09.19 in the 500 Free by Annabel Tomes, 1:00.44 in the 100 Fly by Carly Rasmussen, and 1:05.85 in the 100 Back by MacKenzie Lighterink. School records were also set by two Raven relay teams during CIF this year. The team of Taylor Patterson, Carly Rasmussen, Ashley Sherman, and Annabel Tomes had a time of 1:41.32 in the 200 Free Relay, and the team of Carly Rasmussen, Ashley Sherman, Allison Steitz, and Annabel Tomes came in at 3:42.01 in the 400 Free Relay. Overall, Girls Varsity Swim took 5th place, while Boys Varsity took 12th place at CIF. “Big congratulations to our CIF team!” said Head Swim and Dive Team Coach Nico Kintz. Also in CCA Swim and Dive Team news, Coach Nico is proud to report that swimmer Annabel Tomes has just been named 2011 Valley League Female Swimmer of the Year and Matthew Briscoe 2011 Valley League Male Swimmer of the Year. Additionally, Annabel Tomes has also made High School Swimming All-American this year in the 50 Free and the 100 Free.

I’ve been involved with. It was a playoff situation where both teams would do anything to win.” North Shore then took on Carlsbad in the semi-final round. In the last inning, North Shore was down by four runs, but battled back to tie the game at 5-5. With one out and Kennedy Kidd on third, and Sophie Ausmus at the plate, Zapata called a “suicide squeeze” to score the winning run and advance to the finals against top-ranked La Costa. La Costa entered the finals after amassing 48 runs and giving up only seven. With La Costa’s strong offense, North Shore was up for a defensive battle. Again in the last inning, North Shore was down 3-1. With two outs, North Shore scored four runs to take a two run lead with clutch hits by Ally Harvey, Kidd, and Ausmus, and a walk by Sydny Poh. North Shore had to hold La Costa to take the win, but that proved difficult when La Costa’s full roster of hitters put together three hits to score a run and put runners on second and third with two outs. With North Shore’s Lauren Scheg on the mound, La Costa hit a towering pop fly that was caught by second baseman Chase Zapata to secure the championship. Mikaila Reyes pitched three strong innings in the final game. Stellar defense by Maddie Ley, Nicole Anderson, Erin Vanderttie, and Morgan McIntyre also contributed to North Shore’s success. “Today was our day,” said manager Zapata, as he watched his team celebrate on the infield after the final out. “I’ve managed all-star teams for years and dreamed of this day. Today was our day.”

Rancho captures Wanderpokal Trophy Rancho Santa Fe Men’s Soccer won its second championship of the season by winning the Over 45’s German Invitational Wanderpokal (wandering trophy) in Anaheim over Memorial Day weekend. In a division featuring teams from New York and Costa Rica they were joined by two Bay Area teams. Rancho emerged from the group unbeaten and progressed to the final to face the other unbeaten team from the opposite bracket, Sacramento. In a tough back and forth battle, Rancho’s dominance proved too much. After superb work on the left side by Gerardo Costes, he pulled the ball back to Rancho’s James Rigopoulos who was able to fire home the game winner in the first half. Rancho players were able to control the game for much of the second half and held on for another well-deserved tournament victory. In addition to the championship trophy, Rancho was also awarded tournament MVP in Paul Dougherty and best goalkeeper, Kurt Duke.

Angels win RSF Little League Championship On a beautiful Saturday at Richardson Field in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe, the RSF Little League championship game took place between the #1 seeded White Sox and the #3 seeded Angels. In a hotly contested, spirited game the Angels prevailed by a score of 13 – 8 to win league honors in this 67th year of organized baseball in RSF. The offensive onslaught was a surprise as most expected the game to be decided by pitching and defense. The Angels opened a quick 3-run lead with a leadoff home run by Robbie Goena, followed by a Mo Mirer walk, a Bennett McCaskill run scoring single and a Connor Barry RBI knock. “Getting out to an early lead really helped our team relax,” said Mirer. “We really felt we could win once we got on the scoreboard.” The White Sox immediately struck for a run in the bottom of the 1st on a Jackie Plashkes single up the middle. The game quickly settled into the expected pitching duel between Plashkes and the Angels’ top hurler Ben McCaskill as both pitchers efficiently retired the sides in the 2nd. In the 3rd inning the White Sox struck for 2 runs as Plashkes plated Chase Whitton with a single to left, then scored on some daring base running. The Angels increased their lead to 6-3 on another homerun by Goena, followed by a 2run homer by McCaskill in the top of the 5th, only to see their lead disappear in the bottom half as Whitton, Jake Johnson and Plashkes scored on an Andre Nordan double in the gap. “We felt like the White Sox really grabbed the momentum when they scored 3 runs in the 5th,” said Bennett McCaskill, “but our bottom half of the lineup really came through.” The bottom half consisted of Clay Witmeyer, Dylan Cunningham, Oliver Mirer, Spencer Harmon, Jack Cesari, and Cole Barry who all scored in the top of the 6th to take a commanding 13-6 lead. Connor Barry relieved McCaskill to record the win by pitching an inning and a third of solid relief. “I am so proud of our team,” said the effervescent Barry, “we put all the pieces together and worked hard this year to win this. “Yea, our coaches did a nice job, but it was the players who brought this trophy home!”

Local high school students selected ‘Stars of the Month’ All six high school Stars of the Month for May, selected by the San Diego Hall of Champions, were CIF-San Diego Section champions. Scripps Ranch 110- and 300-meter hurdles track standout Jacob Hare, swimming record-setters Trent Williams of Rancho Bernardo and Kendyl Stewart of La Costa Canyon, future Duke lacrosse player Katie Trees of Torrey Pines, Cathedral Catholic volleyball ace Jonny Hoolko and Rancho Bernardo section singles tennis champion Tyler Pham of Rancho Bernardo were chosen.

This event includes the nation’s top boys and girls high school track athletes in the mile this season. turing top athletes from around the world. The event, held at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island, in Manhattan, will include more than two dozen Olympic and World Champions. In their senior seasons at Torrey Pines High School, Billmeyer and Carpowich ran the nation’s fourth and fifth fastest U.S. high school mile times, respectively. After win-

ning San Diego CIF Championships on May 28, both athletes went on to have record setting performances this past weekend at the California CIF State Track and Field Championship in Clovis, Calif. Billmeyer and Carpowich will graduate from TPHS as holders of six or more school Track & Field records apiece. This season Billmeyer also became the San Diego Section’s all-time record holder in the 1600M and 3200M distances. “Personally, I never thought I would have athletes like this to work with that have achieved what these two have achieved,” said long-time TPHS distance coach Brent Thorne. “I’m most proud of them for their willingness of not just to work hard, but to do all the extras that have taken them to this level of success.” Billmeyer and Carpowich will both attend Stanford University this fall where they will run track and cross country for the Cardinal, historically one of the strongest NCAA Division I programs in the nation.

Kids Korps: A Little Bit of Magic for Mother’s Day BY BARBARA PONDER, KIDS KORPS PARENT “What are your plans for Mother’s Day?” was the recurrent theme the Friday before May 8. I had signed up for the Serving the Seniors Kids Korps event many weeks before, not knowing it was a special day. “Oh well!” I thought, “It would be a good thing for us to help others and pay tribute to mothers whose children have grown and left.” We piled into the minivan, not a grumble to be heard (Mother’s Day and all). Parking is no problem downtown on a Sunday; you can park in the yellow zone with impunity and the senior center is easy to find. We Erick Hadaya, Morrison Mirer, James Downey, & started off by donning our oversize Connor Barry making blankets for foster kids. aprons and gloves, delivering a special meal of chicken fillet and asparagus to the capacity crowd in the cafeteria. Even before all the seniors were served at the end of the dining hall, we started clearing and cleaning from the head of the room. When the last diner left and the next crowd started filtering in for the noon seating, the magic began. Not meaning to brag, but my son is quite an accomplished pianist. Wherever there is a piano at a Kids Korps project, Reid will grudgingly play a piece or two. As requested (by yours truly), he played the piece from his book. Then one of the guests came and played a medley of old standards. Encouraged by the participation, Reid sat down and played his recital piece from memory. This was greeted by a ripple of applause, much to his embarrassment. (I had promised him no one would pay attention to him, if they could even hear him in the large room.) Another guest then decided more music was needed and proceeded to rip through his repertoire. The delight in the musicians’ faces mirrored the delight and appreciation in the audience. If you could have seen the light flicker in eyes grown dim with age and the genuine warmth in their smiles, you too would say you saw magic that day, in the gift of giving, gift of time, the gift of music. I don’t think the message was lost on my children and the other Kids Korps volunteers. If it was only for a moment, or an hour, we made magic happen. Happy Mother’s Day!

Nativity Catholic School By Stephanie Kourie, Nativity Catholic School parent On a recent evening in April, 160 parents and students from Nativity Catholic School came together in the Holy Family Activity Center for the 5th annual Family Service Night. Students rotated through 5 different stations benefitting 8 different charities. Kids Korps received 55 blankets donated and made by the students, to be given to children who are removed from abusive homes and taken to a place of safety. They also made dog toys for the Helen Woodward Center. At another station the children wrote Easter cards for hospitalized military heroes which contained lovely illustrations by the kids as well as heartfelt messages of gratitude. These were sent to Operation Gratitude for distribution to our wounded soldiers. A spaghetti dinner was served to all participants adding to the convenience of the evening for the parents. Each family agreed that coming together to help so many others made this a deeply meaningful event, in keeping with the high importance which Nativity School attaches to service in our community and beyond.

Your Family Matters: Family summertime BY DR. KEITH KANNER With summer right round the corner, parents are busy finding camps and activities for their children to participate in so their summer is both enjoyable and productive. I have always emphasized the notion of a “balanced summer,” whereby children are both engaged in structured activities building various skills from sports, arts, music, academics, and just plain fun time with their friends. But, in addition, the importance of “family time” is essential. Children need to spend time with their parents and families irrespective of age. Despite the adolescents wanting “space” and “independence,” as a normal and natural developmental achievement, they still need to be with their parents in order to feel loved, admired, and guided when necessary. One of the basic problems with “family time” has been finding something for everyone to enjoy. This element is key if the time is going to be one that flows well and builds relationships, rather than strain them. Your Family Matters has historically focused on optimal vacations and outings for the entire family as I have tested various venues with my own children over the years and reported my experiences. For past stories, please visit my blog at sandiego6.com under Dr. Kanner’s Recommendations. In the past, I have reported on family cruises, various resorts, and other local and non-local venues and have found some terrific places and events for the entire family. The emphasis here is that the choice of vacation or outing has to be agreed upon by the entire family and is filled with activities for all to enjoy. It is important to discuss this as far in advance as possible in order to both

firm up reservations and also give the kids something to look forward to as we go through the present state of “Spring Fever.” Last month, I discussed a weekend outing with my three kids and we decided on Dr. Keith Kanner Universal Studios. We had never been there and we all had different interests in visiting the venue. My friends at the Sheraton Universal set us up in a beautiful room and arranged for us to visit the park. Although we did not do the VIP tour, the regular events were wonderful and all of my children had a blast and I also had fun. The main point is that we all planned the trip ahead of time together and because everyone felt included, the trip was a success. Parents always ask me about bringing friends on vacations and I always respond with “it depends.” If you feels as though your child will have a much better time if they bring a friend, then it might not be a bad idea. However, if your choice of a venue has enough for everyone, you may not need to bring a friend for your child to enjoy the activities. Speaking of activities, aside from picking a place with lots to do, parents also need to bring their own “bag of tricks” with them for those moments of “down time” or between activities. I always keep games, toys, art supplies, extra clothes in my car, just in case they are needed to uplift some spirits or help my kids feel invested in something fun or creative, as this is when children are the

most content, especially when they feel as though their parents understand them and their needs. So, plan those family outings with your kids, and enjoy learning and laughing together. Key Points: 1. Don’t forget family time over the summer. 2. Plan such events with your kids and get their input. 3. Family time has to have something for everyone in order to be successful. 4. Consider letting them bring friends if necessary. 5. Don’t forget that “bag of tricks” for the down times.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Prudential’s Chris Lin hosts OPEN Short Sale Panel for Realtors Chris Lin recently partnered with the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) to host an educational panel for real estate professionals about the advantages and drawbacks of short sales. The event featured insights and guidance from a real estate attorney, a short sale negotiator, several top short sale agents and a representative from a major lending institution. “Assisting a client with the listing of a short sale is far from an easy process,” says Lin, “however the real estate market, including the luxury segment, has changed. As real estate professionals, we need to educate ourselves about this type of transaction, to ensure that we can serve the needs of our clients.” A strong work ethic and a love for the real estate profession have earned Lin an impeccable reputation among her peers and colleagues. “I am very fortunate to be working in real estate,” Chris Lin says Lin, who is based in Prudential California Realty’s Rancho Santa Fe office. “For me, there isn’t much of a distinction between my work and personal life, because I simply love what I do.” Lin is a former Certificate of Excellence award winner, a broker associate and a 20year industry veteran. She holds numerous professional designations pertaining to real estate and is fluent in several languages, including Taiwanese/Chinese and Spanish. For more information, or for a confidential meeting, please contact Chris Lin at Prudential California Realty’s Rancho Santa Fe office, at 760-845-4186, or via email at chris. lin@prusocal.com.

Prudential California Realty was recently honored for raising more than $116,000 last year to support the Sunshine Kids Foundation, a charity dedicated to enhance the quality of life for children receiving cancer treatments. For the amount of contributions that were allocated to the charity, Prudential California Realty ranked number five, out of Prudential Real Estate’s nationwide network of independently owned brokerages. “The generosity exhibited by Prudential California Realty is an inspiration to all of us in the Sunshine Kids family,” noted G.W. Bailey, executive director of the Sunshine Kids Foundation. “Contributions like these will allow us to expand our services and make a positive impact on the lives of even more young cancer patients.” A substantial portion of the donations that maintain the Sunshine Kids Foundation originate from individual agents, who contribute on an ongoing basis. Prudential California Realty also partnered with a number of Realtors, employees and businesses last year to promote and coordinate a number of highly successful fundraising events and group activities for children with cancer.

ing 2010 to support the foundation and its mission included a Texas Hold ‘Em style poker tournament at Viejas Casino, a night out at the Padre game for agents, employees and their families, and a two-hour surfing lesson for more than 30 children with cancer at the Pacific Beach Surf School. Realtor Jim Stinnett was instrumental to the creation of the poker tournament, which raised more than $4200 in funds; Prudential received assistance from HomeServices Lending, Pickford Escrow and The Escrow Firm to sponsor the Padre game event. Far more than just a surfing lesson from American Red Cross certified instructors, the Sunshine Kids surf event also featured a donation of numerous signed copies of “Cabo & Coral Go Surfing,” a children’s surfing book by Udo Wahn, food from local businesses and a surfboard giveaway. “Having so many of our agents and employees embrace our efforts to raise funds for the Sunshine Kids makes me very proud,” said Jon Cook, Prudential’s president and CEO.
