New GM, Chef ready to enhance Inn at RSF
Providing The Ranch with Three Decades of Quality Journalism
Toast of the Town
MacMitchell takes over as general manager, Allison as executive chef BY KATHY DAY Gordon MacMitchell has spent the past five weeks getting the lay of the land at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and in the surrounding community. That’s because, as the new general manager, he’ll be the man on the spot as the renovation of guest rooms gets under way and as they prepare a new look and menu for the restaurant under Todd Allison, who starts next week as executive chef after two years at Anthology. They’ll replace Kerman Beriker, the general manager for the past eight years, and his son, John, who was the executive chef. “JMI (the new owners) has great plans, none of which will intrude on the historic nature of the property,” MacMitchell said. “They want to give it its luster back.” With 33 years in the hotel industry, MacMitchell worked previously with Benchmark Hospitality International, which is managing The Inn for JMI Realty. The firm, owned by Padres owners John Moores and Rancho Santa Fe resident John Kratzer, acquired the 21-acre property earlier this year with Siguler Guff & Co. MacMitchell was previously associated with JMI when he ran the Omni Hotel adjacent to Petco Park and, most recently, was genSee INN, page 18

RSF School board OKs purchase of iPads, desktop computers BY KATHY DAY Rancho Santa Fe School District trustees on June 7 heard about the state of their budget and enrollment for the coming school year and then signed off on a plan to purchase iPads, new desktop computers and accessories that will cost the district more than $377,000. Although the district, like others throughout the state, still faces uncertainties about the final numbers, Superintendent Lindy Delaney said, “It’s a blessing that the expenses for technology, which are a serious expansion, will come out of state money and bond funds.” Because of that, she added, the district can still maintain a healthy reserve despite an anticipated decline in property tax income and not knowing how potential ballot measures will alter state funding formulas. Two competing measures are likely to make the ballot, al-
though the qualifying deadline is not until June 28. Assistant Superintendent Cindy Schaub, who worked with technology director Ben Holbert on the proposal, presented an overview of how the district plans to implement the new technology program that will enable every middleschool student to have an iPad and will put six iPads in each K-6 classroom, as well as 10 for special education students. The expenditures also cover accessories and updated iMacs for K-6 classrooms, where they are applying a “thirds” plan – at any given time one-third of the students can be on iPads, one third on desktops and one third working in small groups or individual assignments. The iPads aren’t intended to be “babysitters,” Schaub said, but rather a way to increase student See SCHOOL, page 24

RSF Association board authorizes funding for Osuna adobe renovations BY JOE TASH The RSF Association board approved spending $55,000 on renovations and construction plans for the Osuna adobe at its meeting on Thursday, June 7, but some board members questioned whether all of the expenditures are necessary right now. The board considered the expenditures on two separate votes: in the first, the panel unanimously approved spending $23,595 to remove concrete stucco from the exterior walls of the historic adobe and replace it with adobe plaster, which would then be white-washed. According to a staff report, the work is needed to protect the building and improve its appearance. However, the board was not unanimous on a proposal to spend $31,405 on construction documents for planned renovations to the adobe. While the proposal was approved with directors Jack Queen, Dick Doughty, Larry Spitcaufsky and Eamon Callahan voting in favor of the expenditure, directors Anne Feighner, Roxana Foxx and Ann Boon did not support it. Among the concerns expressed by board
members was whether the Association should spend money on construction plans before the funding for the renovation work has been secured. Before the board’s discussion and vote, the entire group took a field trip to the adobe site, where Ron McMahon, chairman of the Association’s Osuna Committee, gave a presentation about planned improvements to the property. “This adobe really represents the core of the history of the Ranch from the 1830s,” McMahon told the board during his presentation at the adobe on Thursday. The Association purchased the 27-acre Osuna Ranch property at 16332 Via de Santa Fe for $12 million in 2006, with the goals of preserving the historic adobe ranch house that dates back to 1831, and to preserve open space within the Covenant, said Pete Smith, AssociaSee OSUNA, page 24

‘How Can We Help You?’ RSF Patrol offers unique services to Covenant residents with special security needs While most Covenant residents know that the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol provides basic security services to the RSF Association and its membership, Covenant residents may be unaware that the RSF Patrol can provide additional services to those who have special security needs. RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said the Patrol’s experienced staff of former law enforcement personnel can customize security plans and apply them to meet the specific needs of residents who have unique requirements for reasons such as profession/ identity, family matters, property/home issues and more. The Patrol has resources and works
closely with the Sheriff’s Department and other law enforcement agencies. Wellhouser added that the Patrol can assist residents with threat assessment/security plans, as well as involve all of its resources to create these security plans. “Very often we work with corporate security, State, local and Federal agencies on individual members’ security issues. Some of these issues may be because of the person’s business or public notoriety,” Wellhouser said. For more information on the RSF Patrol services available, contact Chief Matt Wellhouser or Sergeant Guy Lemieux at 858-7598588.
McAllister, Putnam elected to RSF Association board Rancho Santa Fe Association board candidates Craig McAllister and Rochelle Putnam have been officially elected to threeyear terms on the RSF Association board. Ballots for the uncontested election were sent out May 10 and Rochelle Putnam were due by June 11. While there were only two candidates for two seats, the Association must still go through the election pro-
cess—75 votes are needed for each candidate for validation. McAllister received 580 votes and Putnam received 560 votes. Total ballots received in the election tallied 626. Putnam and McAllister will fill the board Craig McAllister seats being vacated by outgoing directors Jack Queen and Dick Doughty, whose three-year terms expire at the end of June.
RSF Village parking situation improving, according to report BY JOE TASH A parking survey conducted in the Rancho Santa Fe Village in May shows that the number of cars parked in the Village core area during peak hours has decreased from earlier this year, indicating no “overall parking shortage” exists in the Village. A report on the latest parking survey was presented to the Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors at its meeting on Thursday, June 7. The report found that parking totals in May had decreased to a range of 68 to 87 percent, from a range of 75 to 90 percent determined in a January survey. The percentages indicate the number of spaces occupied vs. the number available on different streets in the Village. The report notes that some streets remain occupied above 90 percent at peak times, but overall, the averages are below the 90 percent threshold, which is considered the indication of a parking shortage. “Even though some street segments exceeded the 90 percent parking demand threshold, there does not appear to be an
overall parking shortage in the Village as a whole,” the report concluded. Peak demand occurs around lunchtime, according to the report. The report suggested that the number of cars parked in the Village core may have decreased due a contract with the California Highway Patrol, under which officers ticket cars that violate posted time limits. The survey also found that parking around the Village perimeter has increased, indicating that some people have moved their cars from the central area to outlying areas to avoid citations. During previous surveys, staff determined there are 471 parking spaces in the Village core area, bounded by the intersection of Paseo Delicias and El Tordo on the east, La Gracia and Linea del Cielo to the west, Avenida de Acacias and La Granada to the north and Via de Santa Fe and La Granada to the south. The board received the information but took no action, allowing the CHP enforcement program to continue.

RSF School District anticipating fewer students While outlining the budget picture for trustees at the June 7 meeting, Superintendent Lindy Delaney talked about juggling teachers, students and enrollment numbers. Saying enrollment appears down for the fall, she said they are currently looking at 632 students compared to the 684 now attending the local school. Last year, she said, they expected a similar decline but added 12 fifth graders, which brought the numbers up. Right now, they anticipate the largest class will be seventh grade with 103 students and the smallest either kindergarten or first, with about 50. Because of the expected drop, she said, they are looking to the RSF Education Foundation, which hosted its Toast of the Town and Kids Art Auction on June 7, to keep their contribution at $1 million. Meanwhile, she and the staff will continue “to look at all programs and personnel and fit the puzzle together.” At this point, she said, a couple of teachers will be out of jobs and some teachers won’t be able to sign contracts or know what they will be teaching until August. The class line-ups, though, are still in flux. There are possibilities that there may be a second-third grade combination class as well as a fourth-fifth combo, Delaney said. — Kathy Day

Canyon Crest Academy sophomore Amanda Presar, author of “Amanda’s Kitchen.”
Rancho Santa Fe teen publishes unique 300-page cookbook titled ‘Amanda’s Kitchen’ BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
When Canyon Crest Academy sophomore Amanda Presar turned in a 600-page, full-color cookbook with photos, poems and more than 100 recipes for a creative writing assignment, her teacher’s jaw dropped. The 15-year-old received an “A,” of course, but she’s even taken the school project to a higher level. The book, “Amanda’s Kitchen,” now has its own ISBN number, is available on Amazon, and proceeds from the sales are going to charities such as Rady Children’s Hospital and the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. So far, Presar has raised more than $1,000 from selling more than 200 books out of her garage and at the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market, and her goal is to sell more than 100,000 copies. The teen is pioneering this effort in addition to playing lacrosse, varsity tennis and soccer at school — and she isn’t personally profiting a dime from the sales. Presar’s book brings together a number of creative influences, including her grandmother — who has authored two successful cookbooks — and her beloved cat, Tigger, who Presar took in as a stray kitten. The book features rhyming poems to go along with the recipes, written from Tigger’s perspective. She titled those pages “Tiggy’s Corner.” “He shows up on the table at every meal, so he found his place in the book,” Presar said. Some of the recipes were handed down in Presar’s family, and some are her own creative concoctions. Presar said her pork chop recipe with apples, pecans and caramel is her favorite. She has also come up with creations like muffins with cookies on top and “chocolate lace” cookies. “I learned to cook before I could even see over the counter,” said Presar. “I used to dress up in little aprons ever since I was little.” In the book’s introduction, Presar thanked everyone in her family for “turning the house upside down” for this massive project. Presar employed her family and friends to taste test her recipes repeatedly
until she got the elements just right, and she spent hours hosting meals on the weekends. Not only did she cook and entertain almost every weekend for months, but she created themed table settings, which she also included in the book. “I have everyone cooking daily,” Presar wrote in the book’s introduction. “I have even started contacting friends outside the family to join in. I feel this cookbook has the best recipes sampled by family and friends. The meal planning and parties are taken from my past, in which I expanded upon. My creative family always went overthe-top on birthdays and celebrations, which helped me compile this book.” Something that sets “Amanda’s Kitchen” apart from many cookbooks, besides the personal stories behind many of the recipes, is that there are photos of every dish. While Presar’s first draft of the book was a heavy 600 pages — bigger than a phone book — she realized the hard way it was too long and she condensed it down to 300 pages to sell for $25 a copy. “We went to get it printed and it was not a good experience,” said Presar, adding that the lady at the printing shop was crying because the print job took her so long and the Presars were originally quoted $1,000 to print the whole book. “We said, ‘What can we do to get it down to $500?’,” Presar said. The printer agreed to do the job for $500, and Presar’s mom paid the amount with a check. Later Presar’s dad called the printer and negotiated a price of $250. Presar spent hours each night, often staying up past midnight, redesigning the book, and some of the recipes didn’t even make it in. Presar said she thanks her mom for spending countless hours providing feedback and helping with the design process. “She also helped me clean up the kitchen after I made a huge mess,” Presar said. To purchase a cookbook, look for Presar at the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market (16079 San Dieguito Road Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067; www.ranchosantafefarmersmarket.com) or contact her at (858) 353-7180.

The Winning Recipe: An Exclusive Conversation With Irene Valenti, President of Valenti International We were recently granted the opportunity to interview Irene Valenti, President and Founder of the preeminent matchmaking company, Valenti International. Q: What makes Valenti International so unique? Irene Valenti: We offer a very unique and special service. People really appreciate and value that we have a team of psychologists on staff that pro ile and interview perspective candidates to determine their appropriateness for the services we provide and also to get a deep understanding of who they are and what they are looking for in a partner. Our psychologists also assist in matchmaking process and provide helpful feedback to our clients. Q: What do you look for when assessing whether to take someone on as a client? Irene Valenti: There are several factors that go into our highly selective approval process. First and foremost, they have to be kind individuals and treat others with great respect. We assess for things such as emotional stability, emotional readiness, realistic expectations, etc. which, combined with my secret touch and inely honed intuition, contribute to the amazing results I achieve. I’m constantly in awe of the caliber of men and women that we attract. Our clients are extraordinary individuals who inspire me everyday. Q: What is the Valenti Concierge Experience? Irene Valenti: I have seen irsthand how dif icult it is for our clients to ind the time and make the right choices that are required to plan a romantic evening and how the lack of such planning interferes with a couple’s irst meeting. I wondered what we could do to eliminate this problem, and that is how the Valenti Concierge Experience was born. The way in which we introduce our clients to one another is very sophisticated and very romantic. We have an in-house concierge team that arranges and manages every aspect of the initial introduction from the venue, transportation,
accommodations, and cuisine. All details are tailored to meet the desires and privacy needs of our clients worldwide. This has been one of the most exciting and successful additions to our business and has affected the overall experience of our clients and the success of our services. Q: It’s general knowledge that you are an extraordinarily gifted businesswomen with razor sharp intuition. You also seem to have a special gift for making connections with people and building trust. What do you attribute that to? Irene Valenti: That is very kind of you to say. The honest answer is that I truly love people and I’m not only interested in learning about them, but from them as well. I also understand the differences between how men and women think and behave, and also that people may be looking for different things at different stages of their lives. Additionally, I recognize that nothing in the world replaces the feeling of having someone special in your life. As for my strong intuition, that is dif icult to put into words, but I think it is a gift and I use it with each matchmaking decision that I make. Q: Can you describe the feeling you get when you have successfully matched two people? Irene Valenti: It is an extreme joy that is also indescribable. There is nothing more rewarding for me than bringing two souls together. I always say that the best part of my week is coming into my of ice on Monday morning to hear all the positive client feedback from the weekend’s successful introductions. Q: Can you share an example? Irene Valenti: I received a note from one of our male clients a couple of days ago after meeting a lady we introduced him to for the irst time that said, “Irene, if my life ended today, I would be happy because I just had the most amazing two days of my whole life! Thank you so much for introducing us!” The lady that he met also submitted equally enthusiastic feedback which can viewed on our Client Testimonials on our website.
Q: You have such a strong commitment to philanthropic outreach programs, especially those that involve helping children and animals. What has inspired you to engage in these activities? Irene Valenti: I have lived around animals my entire life and I recognize that our lives are greatly enhanced by love and companionship from animals. I have always embraced giving back to the community and many of Valenti’s clients share this same passion, particularly when it comes to equestrian-related activities. I currently have 50 horses boarded at the Valenti Equestrian Club and I also lend acreage to house rescued feral American Arabian horses at my personal residence for Pegasus Rising, a non-pro it organization that partners horses with humans to heal. Q: I hear you have an exciting Equestrian event planned in the fall. What can you tell us about it? Irene Valenti: The Valenti Foundation will be hosting a special equestrian fashion show for horses and their owners that will bene it the Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe. This will be the irst event of its kind in San Diego and we are really excited to share it with the community.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Furry wag offers ways for men to ‘stay out of the doghouse’ RSF resident and her special Pomeranian share tips in new book that’s sure to become dog-eared BY KATHY DAY Some men might not like the idea of learning about manners and grooming from a dog, but in the case of Gentleman Norman they might change their minds. The tiny, not-so-poofy Pomeranian tackles those subjects and much more, including a tipsheet on “how to stay out of the doghouse,” in owner Laura Martella’s first book, “Gentleman Norman: How to be a Man.” Even Martella’s husband Michael, who owns MARCOA, a 44-year-old publishing company that works with the military, found humor in the colorful, lovingly crafted book that’s fit for a coffee table. “It relieves me when I see men cracking up when they look at it,” said the nine-year Rancho Santa Fe resident who came up with the idea for the book, in part, as a tribute to her mother, who died in 2011 of Alzheimer’s disease, and to her father, a World War II veteran. As she sat in the lobby at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe talking about the process of writing the book and the loss of her parents, her tiny sidekick, Norman, sat calmly for nearly an hour. He glanced upward as staff members greeted him and guests asked about him and sat proudly atop the grand piano as his photo was taken. Martella got Norman, now 12, after she had to put down her Walter, also a Pomeranian, 11 years ago. Living in Oklahoma City at the time, she called a local breeder,
Laura Martella and Norman. Photos/John Riedy Photography Pufride Pomeranians, and asked the owner if she had any puppies. She didn’t, but she did have one “too spoiled to be a show dog” who didn’t get enough attention in the ring, Martella said. The breeder was so cautious about the adoption that she visited Martella’s home before agreeing to the sale. The pair have been together ever since, and Norman helped her through not just her parents’ deaths, but also a tough divorce and, more recently, has joined in on her happy marriage. “[Norman’s] the perfect man,” she said. “He does anything I want him to do.” She was quick to note that her husband is also the perfect man, “an old school, true gentleman” who is not threatened by the closely cropped canine. She laughed, recalling moments during the eight-hour photo shoot around San Francisco – a regular getaway for the Martellas and Norman – when her wellmannered pup decided to do his own thing. With San Diego photographer John Reidy – their couple’s wedding and family photographer —
on hand in places like the Fairmont Hotel and Gump’s, he would plop down on the registration desk or look aside when they wanted him focused on the lens. To get Norman’s attention, they would tempt Norman with his favorite treats. “It was very funny seeing grown men yelling ‘yip yap’ or ‘banana,’” Martella said. At Gump’s, the luxury retailer in the heart of San Francisco, they set the dog in a window display and “people on the street went crazy,” she added. One staffer at The Inn greeted the pair last week and, as he looked over the book, he noted that Martella who strikes modellike poses – not because she has modeled before but because of her knowledge from her career as a fashion coordinator – never shows her face. That was a conscious decision, she said, since the focus was on Norman. And, the staffer named Harry added, “It helps with perspective to show how tiny he is.” Most of the photos are just the closely cropped Norman, one

in a pink polo shirt, another sitting at the head of a conference table. They are accompanied by one or two lines of pithy advice, like an inquisitive Norman sitting on a hotel bed flanked by a remote control: “Do You Really Need Breaking News?” Some feature his 6-year-old brother Howard, who was too big for showing and has crooked teeth. Howard just might turn out to be the subject of a second book, Martella said. Perhaps the most touching pictures are those of Norman with ‘Gentleman Norman: World War II vet Ralph Morgon, a How to be a Man’ resident of Sunrise La Costa, an as■ By Laura Martella, Photogsisted living facility that offers Alraphy by John Riedy zheimer’s care.

Solana Santa Fe Ocean Week Solana Santa Fe recently held its annual Ocean Week event at the elementary school. Throughout the week, students participated in a variety of ocean-related activities organized by parent volunteer Holly Bauer and third grade teacher Allison Lazerus. This year’s theme was Superheroes of the Sea: Ocean Man vs. The Plastic Bag Monster. Students were taught how plastic bags harms marine life and they were encouraged to protect the ocean and its creatures.
Highlights included a presentation by I Love A Clean San Diego; an assembly about sharks taught by Ocean Adventures; and a comic contest where students created their own ocean superheroes (winners were announced in the May 31 issue of the Rancho Santa Fe Review). The school also held a Day Without A Bag Contest, coordinated by parent volunteer Wee-nah Ferraro, which encouraged families to refrain from using plastic bags. Two

Overall, the school used 70 per cent less plastic and every child received a canvas bag donated by Jimbos. Photos/Lisa Sullivan/Sullivan Studios.

Accomplished musician’s e-book allows people to ‘see’ music BY KAREN BILLING Local musician Donald Barra has found a way to let people see music happen. His latest electronic book, “Bending Music,” employs the use of spectrograms to help the reader/listener visualize what’s happening in music with a colorful reproduction of soundwaves in the air. “Bending Music” is Barra’s first in a series of books and he believes it is a new way of teaching and understanding all kinds of music. “I’ve always been interested in how music works, what makes it appealing and how to create great performances,” Barra said. “[The book] tries to get to the inner workings of music, not just from a technical point of view but from a listener’s point of view — how and why music turns us on and how can we exploit those things to create exciting music.” Barra said music is “in his blood” and he hails from a family of musicians. He became involved in music right away, conducting the junior varsity band for the
last two years of high school and he was part of the church chorus. “I’ve Donald Barra just been doing it all my life it seems,” Barra said. He attended the Eastman School of Music for his undergraduate degree, the Julliard School of Music for his master’s degree and Columbia University for his doctorate. He has conducted orchestras throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, and spent 21 years as the professor of music and director of orchestras at San Diego State University, and was the artistic director if the San Diego Chamber Orchestra. During those 21 years he also juggled serving as the choir director at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. Now semi-retired, he still works as a guest conductor but has turned his attention toward writing “Bending Music.” Barra’s interest in spectrograms began 40 years
ago. As a music teacher in New York City, he was looking for a way to reach his students in his music appreciation class. “Surprisingly, music appreciation is the hardest course to teach,” Barra said. “A lot of kids don’t read music and it’s difficult to focus their attention on what’s actually happening in the music.” When Barra first started out creating spectrograms, he employed an airbrush artist to make them. As technology has advanced, now Barra creates his spectrograms at Stanford University’s Computer Center for Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). “To me they’re incredible because it shows exactly what music is as it happens,” Barra said. Barra’s graphs match the color spectrum to the sound spectrum—flutes are represented by blues; trumpets and bass are very brilliant, bright colors. A fully graphed piece can look like a work of art with all of the different colors to corresponding sounds.
“Bending Music” features 60 pages of graphs, several dozen pieces from all different kinds of music. The e-book allows the reader/listener to follow the soundwaves as the music plays. (Above courtesy www.spectralmusic.com) “Bending Music” features 60 pages of graphs, several dozen pieces from all different kinds of music. The e-book allows the reader/listener to follow the soundwaves as the music plays. “It allows you to see how music is, in fact, a universal language, you can see the similarities between a Japanese chant and
a Louis Armstrong jazz piece, or between an Egyptian sitar and a violinist in concert.” Barra said. “There’s just not anything like this out there, it’s a totally new way of seeing music happening and it’s not just for musicians.” To purchase the book or for more information, visit www.spectralmusic.com

Kelsey Charlotte Peterson and Michael Mark Searles Kelsey Charlotte Peterson and Michael Mark Searles were married May 26 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The couple met at the University of Southern California, from which they graduated with degrees in business administration, she specializing in entrepreneurship, he in finance. The bride, 27, runs the Southern California offices of computer consulting firm, MACRO.CCS. She is the daughter of Eric and Marjie Peterson of Bellevue, Wash. The groom, 28, heads sourcing and pricing strategy for Pacific Palisades-based global manufacturing firm The City Inc. He is the son of Michael and Roxanne Searles, former Rancho Santa Fe residents, currently residing in Wake Forest, NC. Michael and Kelsey live in West Hollywood, Calif.
eral manager at Estancia La Jolla. He’s worked other places locally, including the Hotel Del Coronado and L’Auberge, as well as in Hawaii and Washington state, with a lot of time spent troubleshooting at various properties, he said. He and his wife, a teacher, live in south Carlsbad. They have two grown children, 26 and 29. MacMitchell is also an accomplished runner, who last competed in 2005 when he was working in Hawaii. While in high school and college at Chico State he ran 20 miles a day; today he still runs five miles a day. “I’ve been doing at least that religiously for the last 20 years,” he said. Acknowledging he’s still in a bit of a learning curve, he said one of the goals of the new owners is “to embrace the community.” They’ve already started
working with the RSF Education Foundation and are looking for a strong connection to the RSF Community Center and RSF Garden Club, among other local organizations. He says he’s excited to be working at The Inn, which is similar to Estancia in that both have similar architecture and a lot of indoor-outdoor space. As the renovation moves forward, he said, that space will be even more of an asset. The work will start in “earnest” in October and should be completed by May 2013, MacMitchell said. All of the suites will have a “starlit nostalgia” theme and the other guestroom-cottages will show off “country elegance.” In addition, the pool and meeting areas, including the Azalea Lawn, will be enhanced and opened up and the bar will be connected to the lobby so they have a lobby bar, he added. Plans also call for putting in a fullservice spa, something MacMitchell says is needed with
a destination hotel like The Inn. The restaurant will be “reconcepted” with more focus on the terrace area. That’s where Allison comes in. Having just cooked his last meals only a few days before at Anthology, he was busy attending meetings this week with JMI’s team and MacMitchell to start working on menus and the new direction. A native of Coronado who attended culinary school in Scottsdale, Allison trained under James Boyce at the Phoenician and Loew’s Coronado Bay Resort. He was executive chef at Hilton Checker’s in Los Angeles until moving to Anthology. He also spent time working with Michael Mina as sous chef at the St. Regis Monarch Beach in Dana Point and as chef de cuisine at Bollinger’s in Laguna Beach. “He’s a very accomplished chef,” MacMitchell said.

Teen Volunteers In Action members Billy Tifft and Stephen Tifft display the 31 personalized duffle bags that are filled with many wonderful items and were created by TVIA volunteers for the 31 foster teens who are graduating from San Pasqual Academy.
Teen Volunteers In Action support graduating foster teens of San Pasqual Academy Imagine graduating from high school and leaving, not only your school, but also your home, which has been for many teens the first place they have felt safe and have been able to attend school for a continuous length of time. For many foster students, they have attended numerous schools and their education has been interrupted or terminated. For over 10 years, San Pasqual Academy has changed this cycle and approximately 140 foster teens live and attend school at San Pasqual Academy, which has 31 students graduating in the Class of 2012. The graduating foster teens of San Pasqual Academy have been supported by a very unique, caring group, which is made up of teenage boys and their families. This group is called Teen Volunteers In Action and they have been supporting these graduates for the last eight years with a special collection, started by Kathy Lathrum and her son, Mark Lathrum. TVIA is an organization of young men, who together with their families, are committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism and philanthropy. They are dedicated supporters of the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy and support them throughout the year through various activities. Many members of Teen Volunteers In Action collected items for the graduating foster students of San Pasqual Academy. Chairing this project were Linda Carter and Julie Tifft. Items were collected at the annual TVIA Senior Presents last month and Grad bags were filled to the brim for all 31 San Pasqual Academy graduates. Items in each personalized Grad bag include a twin sheet set, blanket, pillow, towel set, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes and other useful items. Each Grad bag has each student’s name embroidered on it. The foster teens greatly appreciate this wonderful support and treasure these useful items. The Grad bags will be presented at a Graduation Lunch, put on by Friends of San Pasqual Academy, and will be given out by TVIA board members and parents. The San Pasqual Academy 2012 graduates greatly appreciate the efforts of these TVIA volunteers and they have made this graduation very special. For more information on San Pasqual Academy, please visit the website at www.friendsofsanpasqualacademy.org or call 858-759-3298 for more information.
Expert to speak on ‘Mid-Year Market Review: Staring into an Abyss’ at June 21 ‘Coffee and Conversation’ event How quickly things turn sour. As little as a month ago many investors and TV commentators were basking in the glow of a swift 12 percent firstquarter gain for the major U.S. stock averages. And then all of a sudden, it seems many are now talking about Greece possibly leaving the eurozone, China slowing more than expected, and the U.S. heading over a fiscal cliff at year-end. How can things change so quickly? Jeff Losito, a vice president for Fidelity Investments Institutional Services, will give an update on capital markets, what is going on, red flags and areas of opportunity on Thursday, June 21, from 8-9 a.m., at the RSF Golf Club. He will discuss the U.S. economy, housing, employment, as well as where things stand in the U.S. equity, fixed income markets and the status of international markets.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
OSUNA continued from page 1 tion manager. Along with the adobe, which was once occupied by Juan Maria Osuna, the first “alcalde” or mayor of what is today San Diego County, the property includes several working horse barns, a 5,700-square-foot house built in 1982, and other buildings. Since the Association bought the property, it has spent about $200,000 so far on various improvements, reports and plans, McMahon told the board Thursday. Much of the money has been spent on work related to a lot split on the property, which will allow the Association to sell the 1982 house. That work has included electrical and water service upgrades, as well as construction of a driveway. On May 24, the Association put the house on the market with an asking price of $2 million, and as of Thursday, 12 prospective buyers had viewed it, Smith said. The Association board has not yet decided what to do with the money from the sale, but McMahon said the Osuna Committee is hoping at least some of it can be al-
located to improvements at the Osuna Ranch, including planned renovations to the adobe itself. In response to questions by the board, McMahon said the next phase of planned work would involve renovations to the adobe, to restore it to its condition during the Rancho days of the 1800s. That work is estimated to cost $300,000 to $350,000, including the work approved by the board Thursday. A final phase would be moving some of the horse barns, renovating the landscaping and constructing new caretaker quarters, and is estimated to cost $500,000, McMahon said. The committee has raised about $50,000 in donations so far and anticipates further fundraising efforts to help defray costs of the renovation work. The abode was renovated in the 1920s by famed architect Lilian Rice, who is known for designing many buildings in Rancho Santa Fe. Some of the elements added by Rice, such as a low wall outside the building, would be removed during the renovation, along with a kitchen built in the 1960s that has no historical significance, said Association officials.
“The best thing [Lilian Rice] did for us is really stabilizing the structure,” Ron McMahon said. “The adobe is in good shape from a structural standpoint.” Among the improvements made by Rice, McMahon said, was rebuilding the roof, adding a large fireplace, and installing a concrete beam around the base of the foundation to reinforce the adobe structure. “The best thing she did for us is really stabilizing the structure,” he said. “The adobe is in good shape from a structural standpoint.” Future plans include moving the barns to open up views of nearby rolling hills from the adobe, making the landscaping more representative of the 1800s, and adding “interpretive” features such as an outdoor cooking area, to demonstrate how the Rancho families lived, McMahon said. In the future, the Osuna rancho could host arts and crafts shows, or occasional musical concerts, he said. While the full board supported the plaster work needed to preserve the adobe, some members questioned whether the con-
struction documents should be prepared now. They also questioned whether enough community input had been received, regarding renovation plans. “I’m all about the historic preservation of this building. It’s wonderful,” said director Anne Feighner. But she added, “We need to do it with maximum community support and input.” She and other board members also questioned whether money should be spent on construction documents before money has been set aside to do the work. Those who supported moving forward with the construction documents, however, said that process will help specify just how much money is needed for the renovation work, information that is needed to move forward. Board members also pointed out that extensive community discussions were held both at the time of the Osuna Ranch purchase, and subsequently on related issues. “To say that the community was not involved with this is not true,” said board president Jack Queen.

SCHOOL continued from page 1 engagement and achievement, provide new opportunities for inquiry and collaboration along with immediate learning and access to content. Other outcomes she said they hope to achieve include new ways to demonstrate knowledge, provide differentiated learning experiences, reduce paper and pencil tasks, automate “skillbased learning” and prepare students for high school and beyond. Teachers will each get their own iPad and all of the tablets will come with a learning management system that can be used for lessons, tracking progress and keeping parents and students apprised of information they need to know via e-mail, text or even Facebook or Twitter. How and which “apps” to be purchased will be discussed in the coming months, Schaub said. And there will be extensive staff training as well as informational sessions for parents on how to use the new devices. In addition, the district will add a tab on the website with additional information, including the presentation Schaub gave last week.
“Our teachers are getting excited,” Schaub said, noting they are overcoming initial “hesitations. It comes out of wanting to be the best.” Before final approval of the expenditure, board trustee Tyler Seltzer, whose wife is a teacher, said, “I’m confident for the good teachers, it will just make them better. As an enhancement to what they are doing, it’s great.” He added that with a better financial picture than a year ago, “it seems like the logical time to do it.” Heather Slosar, mother of three students currently enrolled and two younger children, speaking during the public comment period raised the issue of the elementary school’s rankings, which she said have dropped somewhat from 2006-2011. She asked trustees, “Are we spending wisely and with a plan to improve test scores.” Following the meeting, she said her concerns extended to the money being spent on the new technology. “There is no data to support technology increases test scores,” she said. “It’s important (to have technology) but it’s also important to look at what the top 10 schools are doing.”

Mother cat takes a bullet for her kittens It has been said that a woman will take a bullet when it comes to her babies. At Helen Woodward Animal Center, veterinarian Dr. Oba discovered that this extends to animals and people alike when she removed a BB bullet from the head of new mommy feline, Cindy. The cat, found hovering over her new born babies, had been exposed to more than just nature’s elements in her quest to protect them. She had taken a literal bullet and refused to leave their sides. “Mommy and baby kitties are all doing fine, but it was touch and go when they first arrived,” explained Oba. “They were all very Cindy and her kittens. tiny, malnourished, unvaccinated and very scared. It took a gentle hand to pull that Momma away from her babies.” Once in surgery, Dr. Oba discovered the reason why. The cat and kittens had been shot at by someone and Cindy had taken a blow to the head. Her determined effort to remain steadfastly with her litter is proof that the bond of motherhood knows no limits. “I like to think every mother would do the same,” said Customer Service Lead Shannon Bush. “She certainly is a role model to mothers everywhere.” Cindy and her babies are on the road to recovery and are available for adoption at Helen Woodward Animal Center. If you would like to adopt one of these rescues, please contact Helen Woodward Animal Center Adoption Department at: 858-756-4117 ext. 313, visit www.animalcenter.org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

TV’s ‘Top Chef’ alumni create ‘ocean bazaar’ cuisine at Herringbone BY KELLEY CARLSON ike celebrity chef/ owner Brian Malarkey’s four other San Diego-area restaurants, the new Herringbone follows the pattern of fabricthemed names. Yet its atmosphere and culinary specialties are unique — “ocean bazaar” seafood plates and other surf-andturf combinations served in a Mediterranean-style setting designed by the renowned Thomas Schoos. Spotting Herringbone from the street can be a bit tricky for those who don’t know what to look for. At the time this story was written, there was no sign in the front advertising the establishment’s name. Keep an eye out for a faux fish dangling from a hook above large wooden doors of a free-standing, red-tileroofed building on Herschel Avenue, between Silverado and Wall streets. Guests enter into a lounge where they can relax on couches with pillows in hues of the sea, socialize at the colorfully tiled bar, or gather around small tables. Fireplaces framed by coral crackle at either end of the room, and the retractable roof is open during pleasant weather. Several century-old

Guests can curl up on a couch near a fireplace in the lounge, which has a retractable roof.
The dining room’s unique features include century-old olive trees and a wall of glass that allows guests a view of behind-the-scenes action.

Menu Recipe
Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Herringbone’s Smoked Trout Dip olive trees add to Herringbone’s ambience. The ocean-meets-forest theme continues in the main dining room, which features more of the robust trees and a whale skeleton suspended above a bar. Neutral-toned artwork of marine subjects decorate the brick walls, while pufferfish lamps hang overhead. Patrons can observe chefs and servers in action behind a wall of glass, at the back of the restaurant.
The menu specializes in catches from the sea, although some items are of land-based origins. Executive Chef Amanda Baumgarten (who, like Malarkey, is a “Top Chef” alumnus) keeps the fare simple, with some unusual combinations. Among her creations is the Whole Fish Ceviche, in which seasoned slices of fish are bookended by a head and tail. There is also the Day Boat Alaskan Halibut,

which is obtained within 36 hours out of the water, according to Baumgarten. Its ingredients include beef shin, farro, chanterelle, Meyer lemon and hazelnut. Herringbone’s pizzas are “awesome,” Baumgarten said. Combinations range from Pancetta, Egg, Stinging Nettle and Fontina, to Little Neck Clam, Bone Marrow, Garlic and Rosemary. And Baumgarten also touts the salads. “I love lettuce more than any other chef you’ll meet,” she said. The salads range from Mixed Green with Buttermilk Dressing to the Hamachi Frise & Lardon. There are some kid-friendly menu items, including the pizzas, fish and pastas. “We are a neighborhood restaurant,” Baumgarten said. “Being accessible to (families with) children is definitely important.” As for beverages, there are brews, wines and libations from the Snake Oil Cocktail Co. that incorporate local and seasonal ingredients. Oyster Hour (Herringbone’s version of happy hour) offers $1 oyster and drink specials. DJs play mellow, electronica-type music starting around 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

Life is sweet treat for dessert maven Michele Coulon Michele Coulon is a self-taught pastry chef and owner of Michele Coulon Dessertier at 7556 Fay Ave. in La Jolla. She is the daughter of Don and Arlene Coulon, retired owners and chefs of the Michele Coulon Belgian Lion Restaurant. The Coulon family lived in Paris, France, during Michele’s high school years. Many trips were made to her father’s native Liege, Belgium, where she said she was greatly influenced by the cooking (and especially baking) of his family. She started making desserts for the Belgian Lion Restaurant when it opened in 1977, while she attended San Diego State University for computer sciences. She worked both as a computer programmer
and pastry chef until she decided to follow her true love of baking full time. Michele Coulon Dessertier is going on its 11th year in La Jolla. Many of her cakes have been photographed for magazines such as Ceremony, Inside Weddings, Cooking Light, Riviera, and People. She works with local organic farms to obtain only the best quality ingredients, including Griffin Farms in Campo run by Matt Furgeson. Who or what inspires you? My parents and people like them: Alice Waters, Michelle Obama, Alice Medrich … people who believe in slow food and who are trying to change the way we eat … teaching that good food for everyone is a must. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?
Definitely my family because they provide the best entertainment, are the most appreciative, make sure there’s never a dull moment, and are full of love for each other and life. And I would have help with the dishes! What is your mostprized possession? My cat! I couldn’t live without that purr! What do you do for fun? Ballet, yoga, leaving the shop for an hour and running down to check on what the seals are up to, gardening, cooking and hang-
ing out with my family. What is your most marked characteristic? I am very energetic. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Since desserts are my life, I preach that dessert is not something you eat every day, so make it worth your while. I would rather eat a small piece of something incredible than a lot of something not so great! Use the best possible ingredients, and the best method in making a dessert. The time it takes cannot be a factor. The final outcome is what counts.

Local residents truck unwanted treasures, build homes in Mexico BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
Mary Faller and Michael Clayton are like the Salvation Army of Solana Beach. Or at least that’s what they’ve been called. The two local residents drive around to construction sites, garages sales and the like picking up unwanted items — some hidden gems — and they each take an entire truckload down to Mexico to donate to those in less fortunate communities. Clayton goes on Tuesdays and Faller goes on Thursdays. And they do this once a week. “It’s a joy for me. It has so many dimensions because we are helping people and the environment. We are taking down truckloads of things that would have ended up in the landfill,” said Faller, who pays import fees of up to $100 each week out-of-pocket. Clayton recently was awarded a grant through The Wheel Foundation to help with the fees. Much of the items delivered contribute to home builds, which Faller also helps facilitate. Under the Unitarian Fellowship in Solana Beach, she connects people interested in volunteering and helps them raise the money for homes,
Mary Faller, center, has orchestrated more than 16 home builds in Mexico. COURTESY which cost about $4,000 each to build. In April, for example, three sixth-grade classes from Skyline Elementary School raised money to build two homes through bake sales, a parents’ night out event and charity “fun run.” Although the project wasn’t schoolsanctioned, about 65 kids and parents went with Faller to build the homes. Faller got behind home build projects for the first time about 15 years ago when she participated in a home build as part of a yearly service project of her husband’s employer, Flextronics. She loved the project, but she thought there should be some kind of follow-up with the families in need
that move into the homes. “I felt there was such a greater need and I see all the resources here in Solana Beach and the desire to give, but people aren’t really sure who to give to,” she said. In 2006, Faller embarked on her first independent home build project, and she has since spearheaded about 16 homes and one community center, all in the same community nestled in the countryside 30 minutes from Tijuana. Faller has developed a close, trusting relationship with the Mexican community there, and the community members help her pick out which families are next in line to get a home. The requirements are that the family is in need, has chil-
dren and owns land. “We don’t want to build on someone else’s land and [then have the family lose the home],” she said, adding that much of the land there is developed by the Mexican government and sold as low-income land. There is usually no water or sewage on these parcels. One home built recently was for a family of six that was living in a minivan, Faller said. Faller is well-received in the Baja community and has not experienced the dangers of Tijuana that are often reported in the news, she said. “Where we go, it’s a neighborhood just like Solana Beach,” she said. “They all know my truck and I’m really well-protected … I had a flat tire once there and within minutes there were people there to help me. It’s one of the most loving environments you can imagine.” Clayton became involved with transporting materials to Mexico after meeting Faller and becoming attached to her cause. Clayton had a stroke three years ago at the age of 37, and becoming involved in the efforts has been helpful in his recovery. The weekly

A burger eatery that made big waves in Santa Barbara more than 40 years ago is finally hitting San Diego. After success in Carmel Mountain, The Habit has opened in Solana Beach at 909 Lomas Santa Fe Drive and will operate from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays. The franchise has been open for less than two weeks, and manager Jose Guerrero said it’s already busier than the Carmel Mountain location, which opened last November. The week before the store opened there were three soft opening fundraising events, which raised money for the Solana Beach Boys and Girls Club, Duchenne San Diego and Share our Strength. At the Boys and Girls Club event, Guerrero said there was a line out the door. Guerrero said there are already regulars coming to The Habit up to three times a week. “They like the environment and the way they are being treated here,� he said. “We also had some really great reviews on Yelp.� Reviews point out that even the most expensive burger at The Habit is less than $5, and the reviews also say the quality is comparable, if not better, than competing restaurants. “People compare us to different places, but at the end of the day we’re just different, especially the way we interact with the customer,� said Guerrero. “We don’t try to save a buck over quality.

“Saphead” band members Joe George, Sam Chisholm, Matt Magnaghi and Mitchell Galton will perform at the San Diego County Fair June 27 at 2 p.m.
EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
Four years ago, the Youth Arts Academy at the San Dieguito Boys & Girls Club helped bring together four musically-talented teens and provided them with the space and equipment to form a solid high school rock band called “Saphead.” Now, after growing up together and developing their own unique sound, the members of Saphead are holding their last practices and playing their last shows before most of the band heads off to college. “We’re kind of trying to finish it out the best we can,” said Matt Magnaghi, who sings and plays bass guitar in the band. Magnaghi just graduated from Cathedral Catholic High School and will be heading to the University of Arizona for college. The band also consists of Sam Chisholm, who plays bass guitar and electric guitar and just graduated from Canyon Crest Academy. Sam will be attending college at UC Riverside. Joe George, the band’s drummer, just graduated from Torrey Pines and will be heading to university in Oregon. Guitarist Mitchell Galton, an honor student, will enter his senior year at Canyon Crest Academy this fall. It has been a busy period for the boys who, in addition to playing in the band and keeping up with their studies, played varsity sports, and worked both for pay and as volunteers. “We’re playing five shows this month and we usually do two or three a year,” said Magnaghi. “It’s summer so we might as well play a lot.” The band members are particularly excited about landing a gig at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar. They will play on June 27 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Coors Light Rock Stage in the fair “fun zone.” Magnaghi said Saphead’s sounds has

evolved a lot since their first days together at the Youth Arts Academy, which he said is truly the band’s “foundation.” “When we started we didn’t say we’re going to play a certain kind of music,” he said. “We started playing covers and it formed into our own sound.” Magnaghi said he writes all the lyrics to the songs, but they don’t always end up how he has it on the drawing board. “It’s a team effort really,” Magnaghi said. “Everyone pitches in and that’s what allows all the songs to sound like us.” Magnaghi said he still hopes to keep playing music in college even though he is pursuing a business degree. “Flights are under $100 so I hope I’ll be able to come back here as much as I can,” he said. Galton, the one band mate who will be staying in San Diego, said it’s “a bummer” that the other guy are heading to college. “I’m going to miss them all but I’ll see them probably,” he said. The band’s name — Saphead — has a story behind it that dates back to the boys’ very first practice together in Galton’s backyard. “He had this big, giant pine tree, and some of the sap — actually a lot of sap — had dripped on my head and hardened,” Magnaghi recounted, adding that it was very difficult to get out of his hair. “At our first show we had to think of a name so that was it … To be honest, we knew it was a stupid name, when all the other bands were trying to get these cool sounding, clever names.” Magnaghi added that his nickname used to be “Sappy,” and Chisholm correction him: “He’s still Sappy to us.” For more information on the band, visit www.reverbnation.com/saphead.

Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund grants $20,000 to San Diego Children’s Choir “Do Re Me Fa So La Ti Do.” Children will be singing throughout San Diego County with the help of a Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund grant. Singing changed the lives of the Von Trapp family in the Sound of Music; and the San Diego Children’s Choir is changing the lives of children in local communities through choral music. Because of the $20,000 grant from the RSF Women’s Fund, communities in Vista, Escondido and East Oceanside will now be able to share in the joy of choral music. The San Diego Children’s Choir provides music education to students in 1st through 5th grade at no cost. The students learn music theory, sight singing, and proper vocal techniques and enjoy music from around the world. “Choral singing is an accessible entry point for arts exposure, with fewer barriers — economic, cultural, and educational — than posed by other art forms.” (2009 Choral Impact Study) The San Diego Children’s Choir program comes to a crescendo with a performance at the Copley Symphony Hall. In Donna Icenhower, SD the past, many of the children have been unable to attend beChildren’s Choir cause of transportation issues. However, the SDCC has made a commitment that the children will be able to attend performances and provides transportation, when needed.

VISITING ALZHEIMER’S RESIDENTS WAS A MEANINGFUL AND FUN EXPERIENCE On a recent Sunday afternoon while many kids in San Diego were relaxing at the beach on this beautiful June day, 40 Kids Korps youngsters and their parents made plans to bring smiles to a large group of seniors with Alzheimer’s. Volunteers came together to give their time to these lonely seniors at Silverado Senior Living Community in Encinitas. “This was something new for most of these kids,” said Robin Chappelow, Kids Korps program director. “In the beginning many were apprehensive and shy around the seniors with different levels of Alzheimer’s. But after some discussion and a little understanding of what the disease is and how to cope with it, our kids turned out to be great companions.” The day began with interviews. Volunteers had a litany of questions to ask their new elderly friends. “How old are you?” and “Where did you grow up?” were the most popular questions. One 11 year-old boy was so excited that he had met a 97 year- old veteran who fought in World War 11. Within no time, everyone was interacting and sharing stories. Groups broke out and games of roulette and “21” were being played. Lots of cheering was heard around the room as new friendships were budding. After a couple of exciting games of

150 students compete in Orchestra Nova Music Bee On May 22, 30 teams of students from San Diego County elementary schools came together for Orchestra Nova’s fourth annual Music Bee, a competition testing their musical knowledge and marking the end of the academic year of the Hunter Family Music Memory Program. The Birch North Park Theatre was filled with family members, teachers and classmates cheering on 150 student participants. The event was open to the public and underwritten by the orchestra and its generous corporate sponsors, Hunter Industries and San Diego Gas & Electric, as well as individual donors who are committed to music education. The Hunter Family Music Memory Program in San Diego is named for long-time supporters of Orchestra Nova’s music education programs and based on the nationally-recognized Music Memory curriculum, which provides children in the third through sixth grades the opportunity to learn 16 pieces of classical music each year through interactive and innovative teaching materials. When a student completes four years of the program, he or she is able to identify and appreciate 64 pieces of classical music. At the end of each school year, students gather together to participate in a Music Bee, a “name that tune” team competition. This year, over 5,000 students from 26 schools in the county have been participating in the Music Memory program, and of those, 17 schools sent a total of 30 teams of five students each to compete in the Music Bee. Orchestra Nova, the only orchestra on the West Coast to perform live at a Music Bee competition, played portions (just three or four measures) of the music that students learned throughout the year, followed by two minutes of the team members working together to correctly identify the composer and the piece.

Rennie has already committed to playing at Division I Ball State. Rennie, a 6-foot-2 200-pound power pitcher with great command, is coming off a dominant senior year for the Falcons. He was 9-1 with a 0.89 ERA, striking out 73 batters and allowing 41 hits and 10 walks in 70 2/3 innings. Rennie also hit .343 (34 for 99) with seven doubles, a homer, and 13 RBI. Gaffney, one of the most celebrated high school athletes in recent San Diego County history, has played baseball and football at Stanford since graduating from Cathedral Catholic in 2009. He’s a two-time All-Pacific 10 honorable mention in baseball. So far this year he’s hitting .238 (44 for 185) with two homers and 17 RBI. Gaffney earned 10 varsity letters during his Dons career (four in football, three in baseball, two in basketball and one in track).
He set multiple San Diego County football records including most points scored in a career (598), single season rushing (2,866) and career rushing (5,547). The signing deadline for amateur draftees is July 13. Golf: Torrey Pines defended its state title on a course it wasn’t used to, and the Falcons had a day that one of the state’s most successful programs wasn’t used to, either. Despite a great effort from standout Ryan Burgess, the Falcons placed fourth at this year’s state championship match at San Gabriel Country Club on June 6. “That just wasn’t our day,” Falcons golf coach Chris Drake said. Unheralded Granite Bay was a surprise winner, shooting a 374. Granite Bay qualified for the state meet as a third-place finisher out of the Northern California regional match. “They played the course the way it was meant to played,” Drake said. “They found a way to win.” Granite Bay, which hadn’t even been to a state championship match since the event was reinstated 10 years ago, found its way by adjusting to an older course that plays much differently than the more modern courses the Falcons are accustomed to. “It was a little tighter” than we’re used to, Drake said. “The fairways were really
scores were tallied, Orchestra Nova, conducted by associate conductor Dana Zimbric, performed a mini-concert for the students, including a few full pieces from the curriculum. “[Students] are so thrilled to…participate in the Music Bee at the end of the year. To hear the music they now know well played live right in front of them, when they have only heard it on recordings, is so exciting for them,” said Tom Waczek, a music teacher from Whitman Elementary School, whose classes have been participating for four years. One student from E.B. Scripps Elementary School even commented, “Hey, that sounds just like the music on the CD!” Teams had the possibility of earning up to a total of 100 points and all participating teams receive ribbons: Gold for 90-100 points, Silver for 80-90 points and Bronze for 60-70 points. A list of teams who earned Gold ribbons is below (an * denotes a perfect score). 3rd and 4th Grades 5th and 6th Grades Cambridge School Cambridge School Whitman Elementary Ocean Air School Crown Point Elementary Sycamore Ridge School Diegueno Country School Whitman Elementary Ocean Air School Sycamore Ridge School Torrey Pines Elementary For more information, visit orchestranova.org.
tight and the roughs were really long. It was a shorter course than we normally play. “If you weren’t on the fairway, the best you were going to get is par.” The course opened in 1904 and featured big tall trees that made a complicated design that much more difficult, Drake said. And the course was difficult for everybody, with Granite Bay winning with a 19-over-par combined score. “That’s got to be one of the highest winning scores,” Drake said. Among the course’s idiosyncrasies was the unusual placement of traps and bunkers that rewarded precision ahead of power, neutralizing a key Falcons strength. “If you were going to hit a perfect shot off a tee, they put a bunker right there,” Drake said. “The course is set up very well, it was tough for everybody. They knew what they were doing.” The Falcons finished seven strokes behind, shooting a combined 381 score. Burgess, the Southern Methodist University-bound senior, shot an even-par 71 to
lead the Falcons. Bobby Gojuangco and Danny Ochoa each shot a 76. Aaron Strockis and Eric Peng contributed 78 and 80 scores, respectively. “I don’t think our kids were overconfident,” Drake said. “They had a good practice round and they knew what the course. We just picked a really bad day to have a teamwide collapse.” The Falcons were seeking their fourth consecutive state title overall, a streak that includes girls’ state championships the last two years. The Falcons graduate seven seniors including three of their top six players. In addition to Burgess, the Falcons graduate Gojuangco, who will play at Air Force, and Peng, who will play at West Point. They are among five seniors who will play at Division I colleges next year. Among the Falcons key returnees will be Danny Ochoa, who has already committed to USC. “We’re bringing back a pretty strong team, but losing those kids is going to be tough,” Drake said.

Rugby challenge aids Cathedral Catholic student
T
he Team Ronan Rugby Challenge was held June 9 at Cathedral Catholic High School to raise funds for Ronan Nelson, 16, a Cathedral sophomore who was critically injured in a club rugby match April 7. Ronan was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, where surgery was performed to repair his broken neck. Subsequent strokes from blood clots formed from the injury, which caused health issues. Ronan was eventually transferred to Sharp Memorial Hospital for inpatient rehabilitation, where he continues his effort to regain normal function. The Team Ronan Rugby Challenge featured an attempt to break the world record for the largest scrum, an exhibition game by USA Rugby Eagles 7s players, San Diego State University rugby players and Cathedral Catholic High School rugby players. The Eagles players, along with key athletes from X-Game exhibition sports, signed autographs at the event. The Cathedral Catholic High School (www.cathedralcatholic.org) community and the Coastal Dragons Rugby Club (www.coastaldragonsrugby.com) along with Serevi rugby (www.serevirugby.com) have teamed to raise funds to support Ronan’s rehabilitation.

Nutrition and you: Are you a flexitarian? BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT The pro-plant dietary movement is growing in popularity and is known by a relatively new term: “flexitarian”, which is a combination of the words “flexible” and “vegetarian.” According to Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD “following a flexitarian diet simply means eating more plant-based meals and less meat”, this approach minimizes meat, but doesn’t exclude it, in other words, it is pro-plant, not anti-meat! The Vegetarian Resource Group estimates 30-40% of us in the U.S. are flexitarians. There are multiple factors motivating someone to become a “flexitarian”, one being wellness and health. Studies have shown that a plant based diet can lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer, lower blood Peggy Korody, RD, CLT pressure, and improve your body mass index. Environmentally, livestock generates more carbon emissions than transportation and is a major source of land and water degradation. Therefore, a plant based diet is more environmentally friendly. And lastly, the US Department of Labor Consumer Price Index (February 2012) points out that following a flexitarian diet is less expensive, beans are twoand-a-half times less expensive than lean beef. Are you a flexitarian? We eat roughly 21 meals per week, if you eat six meatless meals per week you are considered a beginner, and if you consume 9-12 meatless meals per week you are an advanced flexitarian. Consuming 15 or more meatless meals per week? You can consider yourself an expert! It should be noted that amongst the flexitarians fish is a “limbo” food. Some include it, some don’t. If you do include it, you should aim to eat 12 ounces of a variety of fish per week. Are you concerned about the nutritional aspects of a flexitarian diet? Does this way of eating provide enough protein, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12? The short answer is “yes”, but if you are new to this approach here are a few easy steps to follow to ensure you are getting the necessary nutrients your body needs. For your protein, iron, and zinc needs incorporate beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds into your daily meals. To achieve your vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D requirements include milk or fortified soy, rice, or almond milk daily. Obtaining omega-3 fatty acids are a bit more difficult unless you include fish in your weekly diet. Plant based omega-3s include flaxseeds/oil, walnuts/oil, and chia seeds and all contain ALA fatty acids (see my article http://rd4health.com/621/omega-3-6-9/ for detailed information). Unfortunately, very little ALA is converted to EPA or DHA (FYI: ALA has to be converted). Remember, EPA and DHA are associated with heart health by lowering total triglycerides, and food sources include fish and fish oils. If you don’t consume the recommended 12 ounces of fish per week I would recommend a good omega-3 DHA supplement. A flexitarian can easily follow the 2010 Dietary Guidelines by using the MyPlate approach. The plate has three sections, 25% protein, 25% starch, 50% fruits and veggies. We typically think of protein as beef, pork, poultry, or fish, for the new flexitarian here are a few suggestions for protein “swaps”.

Coldwell Banker’s Danielle Short sells two multi-million dollar listings in May; Summer buying season heats up Bidding wars are breaking out for luxury homes in such wealthy San Diego enclaves as Rancho Santa Fe, Santaluz and Del Mar as an increasing number of buyers bet on rising home prices and investors return to the market. Veteran top produc- Danielle Short ing luxury Realtor Danielle Short of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Rancho Santa Fe can attest to the recent surge in demand after closing sales on two of the nine multi-million dollar properties which sold in the prestigiously well-known 92067 zip code of Rancho Santa Fe during the month of May. “I have even heard of properties requiring extensive renovation are being fought over by buyers who expect to resell them for more after a remodel or rebuild,” said Short. “Many deals are being held back in part by a
shortage of willing sellers which I believe will begin to change as prices rise with the increased demand, historically low mortgage rates and strengthening financial markets.” Danielle Short is a luxury certified Coldwell Banker Previews Property Specialist, a designation comprising only 8 percent of Coldwell Banker’s 87,000 sales professionals worldwide. These high-end real estate specialists are among the most qualified and sophisticated luxury sales associates in the industry with advanced training and marketing expertise. Through the Previews® program, Coldwell Banker has discreetly represented some of the world’s most prestigious properties, including “The Manor,” originally listed at $150 million, which sold in 2011, and “Le Belvedere,” which sold in 2010 with a listing price of $85 million.
