Solana Beach opposes Del Mar Fairgrounds deal
API scores rise at high school district; Canyon Crest tops 900 BY MARSHA SUTTON SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER Academic Performance Index numbers were released this week by the California Department of Education, and the San Dieguito Union High School District reported significant increases over last year at nearly every school. Canyon Crest Academy, in particular, gained 18 points, to pass the 900 mark. CCA’s 910 API makes it one of the highest-scoring high schools in the county and state. CCA, in Pacific Highlands Ranch, is a comprehensive high school serving about 1,875 students in grades 9-12. Carmel Valley’s Torrey Pines High School also gained API points, scoring 880 this year, nine points higher than last year. The other comprehensive high school in the southern portion of the district, TPHS serves about 2,700 students in grades 9-12. Carmel Valley Middle School scored 971, up four points from last year, while Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach, the only school in the district to see a lower API this year, dropped four points, to 925. Both are grades 7-8 schools. The district’s two middle schools in the north – Diegueno and Oak Crest – increased their API scores, Diegueno up 19 points to 908 and Oak Crest up 13 points to 902. Scores also climbed for San Dieguito’s two high schools in the north. San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas scored 854, See API, page 27

BY CLAIRE HARLN STAFF WRITER Following possible rumors that a group of horse owners pulled out of a deal to invest $30 million into the City of Del Mar’s purchase of the Del Mar Fairgrounds from the state, the Solana Beach City Council released a letter last week clarifying its position — one of opposition — on the potential transaction. “We have tried to make it clear that we don’t support a single city owning it, and they said they want to work together, but they haven’t gotten back to us,” said Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner, who sent the letter, dated Aug. 3, to Del Mar officials but said the See DEAL, page 26

Review Q&A: A conversation with RSF Fire District Chief Tony Michel REPORTED BY JOE TASH As chief of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District, Tony Michel oversees an agency that provides fire protection and emergency medical services for 28,000 people over a territory of 38 square miles. The district is governed by an elected, fiveperson board of directors, and has a full-time, paid staff of 51 employees, including 39 firefighters. The district includes Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, 4S Ranch, The Crosby, Cielo and other communities, and operates four fire stations.
The district moved its administrative headquarters in March from its old offices in the Rancho Tony Michel Santa Fe village to Cielo Village, 18027 Calle Ambiente. The district paid about $1.8 million for the 6,200-squarefoot building, which includes the rights to 22 parking spaces for customers and staff.

Michel, 51, was appointed fire chief in November, and has spent his entire 28-year fire service career with the Rancho Santa Fe district. We recently sat down for a Q&A with Michel to discuss the district’s finances, new headquarters and other issues. The responses have been edited for brevity. Q. What are the issues facing the district regarding finances and the economy? A. Just like any other agency or any other public facility, we’ve had a downturn in the economy for some years now, that’s tak-
ing effect on where we get our revenue, the majority of all our revenue is from property tax. Q. Can you give me a quick sketch, how much is your budget, how much comes from property taxes and how much from other sources? A. Our budget is a little over $11 million. Property tax accounts for 79 percent of the fire district’s revenue. We have benefit fee that was imposed back in 1980, a special fee imposed on every parcel and that fee pays for extra stuff like
paramedic services. So we deliver a higher level of service to the community, we have put things in place that cost a little bit more money. The benefit fee is an assessment to make up the difference between what the property tax does and what it costs to run the district. We also have miscellaneous revenue from leases, we have leases on some of our facilities with ambulance companies, we have leases to Rancho Santa Fe Association patrol, which is currently where we vacated and we have some leases with cellular companies, some of our towers.
Q. What financial challenges are you facing with the economy? A. After 10 straight years of increase in property taxes, in the last three we have realized about a 6 percent drop in property tax revenue, along with a pretty good amount of refunds that have been taken back from the county and those refunds are a direct correlation to people reassessing their properties. Q. So a 6 percent drop, what does that translate to, have you had to make cuts? A. No we have not See FIRE, page 26

Residents needed to become part of RSF Fire District’s Community Emergency Response Team The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) is looking for residents interested in becoming part of its Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Applications are now being accepted for the 2011 fall session, beginning Sept. 27 at Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station No. 2, located at 16930 Four Gee Rd, San Diego, 92127.

This CERT class, a 24-hour program broken up into four sessions, is designed to be convenient for the resident with a busy schedule. One Introduction to CERT night is offered, followed by three Saturday Skill Days. This class also has sections that are web-based and can be completed at home
with a Q&A session at the following Saturday Skill Day. Topics include disaster preparedness, disaster medical operations, fire safety and extinguishment, CERT organization, terrorism, disaster psychology and light search and rescue. The complete schedule is as follows: •Tues, Sept. 27, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m., Introduction, and Disaster Preparedness @ RSF Station 2 •Sat, Oct. 1, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Fire Safety and Light Search & Rescue Operations @ RSF Station 2 •Sat, Oct. 8, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Disaster Medical Preparedness Part I & Part II @ RSF Station 2 •Sat, Oct. 15, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., Final Drill and Graduation @ RSF Station 2 The CERT program is absolutely free; however, you must be over the age of 16 to participate and live or work within the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District.

Former Torrey Pines High student named American Film Institute Conservatory Fellow Former Earl Warren and Torrey Pines High student Sara Ross-Samko is among 28 newly named Cinematography Fellows, including seven women, who have been accepted this year by the prestigious American Film Institute Conservatory in Los Angeles. The two- year graduate program was recently ranked the Number One film school in the world by the Hollywood Reporter because of the unique hands- Sara Ross-Samko on production-based environment, selective international student body, and number of highly successful graduates, including directors Terrence Malick (Tree of Life), winner of this year’s Cannes Palme d’Or, David Lynch (Blue Velvet), John Cassavetes (Woman Under the Influence), and Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler). “It’s an incredible feeling to know you are following in the footsteps of so many cinematography masters, like Janusz Kaminski (Schindler’s List), Matthew Libatique (Black Swan), and Wally Pfister (Dark Knight),” said Ross-Samko. Ross-Samko was a trumpet player while attending Torrey Pines and began college as a music major, but she always had a passion for film music and production. She is grateful to trumpet teacher and band director Frank Glasson, Earl Warren art teacher Carolyn Lippencott and Torrey Pines theatre instructor Marilee Payne for their influence. “These people fostered and developed young aesthetic oddballs like me into future successful artists,” Ross-Samko said. Ross-Samko attended the University of Southern California Summer Film Institute and the moment she picked up a camera, she knew she was home. An honors graduate of the Los Angeles Film School, she was awarded a Women

But Sara is outdoing us all.” For more information, visit www.sararosssamko.com or www. filmsetphotography.com.

Credits included on-set stills for the OK Go music video This Too Shall Pass and the upcoming feature “The Ghastly Love of Johnny X,” production assistant on Showtime’s “Weeds,” and 2nd unit camera operator for several independent productions before sending a long-shot application to AFI. Thousands of hopeful filmmakers from all over the world send in sample reels and resumes — AFI accepts only 140 Fellows a year across six film disciplines. This was a dream come true. “It took a long time for it to sink in that I had really been accepted,” she said. “My fellow classmates are astoundingly talented. I am just so grateful to be here — to have the opportunity to study under some of the great masters of medium and to be among the people who repre-

Local teen to attend 2011 ‘One Young World Summit’ In an effort to empower an emerging youth leader in the field of international philanthropy, the International Community Foundation has sponsored Morgan Hicks, an 18year- old senior at the Bishop’s School in La Jolla, to represent the International Commu- Morgan Hicks nity Foundation at the One Young World Summit in Zurich, Switzerland, in early September. Hicks will be joined by over 1,600 other “under 25s” from every country across the globe including 94 other delegates from the United States. One Young World is the world’s first global youth leadership summit, aiming to bring together delegates aged 25 and under from every one of the world’s 192 countries. One Young World combines the social power of the internet with the energy and ideas of global youth to address the most challenging issues of today. One Young World focuses on plenary sessions at which delegates are guided by a group of international luminaries including former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan; Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu; musician activist Bob Geldof; Nobel Peace Prize Winner Muhammad Yunus; Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Doctors without Borders co-founder Bernard Kouchner among others. The inaugural One Young World summit took place in London between Feb. 8-10, 2010. The Second Annual One Young World Summit will be held in Zurich, Swit-
zerland from Sept. 1-4, 2011. “The One Young World summit is a unique international convening that brings together some of the most inspirational emerging young leaders from across the globe” said Richard Kiy, president & CEO of the International Community Foundation. Kiy noted that the International Community Foundation is proud to have Morgan Hicks representing our institution in Zurich. The International Community Foundation sponsorship of Morgan Hicks comes as a result of her voluntary service and philanthropic efforts in collaboration with the International Community Foundation over the past two-and-a-half-years to launch the Youth International Philanthropy Council (YIPC), and helping to raise monies leading to the construction of a playground benefiting IPODERAC, A.C, a Puebla, Mexico based charity providing an alternative home for abandoned and neglected children and youth. Over the past summer, Morgan has been working with the International Community Foundation in the development of “The Teenager’s Guide to International Giving” which will be published in October 2011. The International Community Foundation’s sponsorship of Hicks to the One Young World Summit was made possible through the generous support of donor Antonio Diaz through his San Diego-Tijuana Talented Youth Opportunities Fund at the International Community Foundation.

Timmons Galleries to host reception and exhibit of world-renowned artist John Asaro BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR It has taken a decade but Leigh Timmons feels like she is “finally home” with the recent relocation of her fine art gallery, Timmons Galleries, to Paseo Delicias in the historic village of Rancho Santa Fe. And in coincidence with this new chapter in the gallery, her business has been invigorated with more world-class artists scheduled to exhibit. Timmons, a Houston native, who has been involved in the art business for 25 years, has a passion for selling art. “You can’t describe it, but it is the best feeling in the world!” she said. And her upcoming show for John Asaro proves that she has patience, too. “I have wanted to show John’s work ever since I started my gallery 10 years ago and he always declined until now, so this is like a dream come true,” she said. The opening reception, “which we are calling a ‘Once in a Lifetime Opportunity,’” Timmons said, is scheduled for Sept. 15 with 20 of Asaro’s vibrant oils on display. Asaro, a former student and then teacher at the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, is now a world-renowned artist, acclaimed for his colorful, romantic interpretations of the human figure, reminiscent of Michelangelo’s style. Asaro’s work will show at the gallery through the end of October. His recent paintings capture the life force of dancers, and depict them in various poses of relaxation, performance, contemplation, and passion, according to Timmons Galleries’ website. With a light-infused vibrant palette – using complimentary colors and broad brush strokes that cre-
Art by John Asaro ate patterns – Asaro’s work is dramatic. In harmony with the exhibit will be a showcase of limited edition sculptures of Michelangelo’s pieces. The works are from an Italian foundry which was granted the rights to his original molds. “I was approached to see if I could show a selection these works, one of them being the Madonna, here in the gallery. Of course I was thrilled,” said Timmons. Coupled with the installation of the pieces, Timmons will travel to Italy where she has been granted a personal VIP tour of the Ferdinando Marinelli Foundry in Florence that holds the Michelangelo molds and crafts the sculptures. Prior to the Italy visit she will stop off in London to visit Snap Galleries where Neal Preston’s works are on exhibit. Timmons represents Preston, whose high-contrast black and white fine art music photography was the gallery’s last exhibit. It was through Timmons’ representation that Preston, who will also show at the Morrison Hotel Gallery (MHG) in New York, found a world audience. Timmons is a long admirer and friend of Rich Horowitz, co-owner of MHG, famed for its vast collection of highly collectible signed photo-
graphs of rock music icons. “He helped put this type of fine art photography on the map,” she said. Timmons will also be welcoming a new gallery director, Chris Dyer, who has been in the gallery business for about seven years, in Birmingham, Ala. “He’ll come out here Oct. 1, to collaborate with me and to be a part of the gallery,” she said. Looking further ahead is a proposed exhibition of Dan McCaw’s work. McCaw was one of the first artists that Timmons represented. With a four-decade long career, he is also a former teacher at the Art Center College of Design, internationally acclaimed, and was a close colleague of Asaro’s. “We are hoping for a show in time for the holidays,” said Timmons. Currently on exhibit at the gallery are paintings by Scott Prior and David Slonim, and for sale is a collection of unique gift items. Timmons carries perfumed oils that may be custom-blended for an individualized fragrance, home and table accessories, and decorative arts pieces. Included in her collection are Tobi Tobin’s candles, Michael Aram’s polished pewter gifts, hand- blown glass by Glass Eye Studio, and jewelry by Cristina Powers. She also showcases Wish Pots crafted by Hawaiian glass artist Geoff Lee, and glass candlesticks by Romanian glass artist Ioan Nemtoi, and more. Visit www.timmonsgalleries.com for more information on the upcoming Asaro reception on Sept. 15, and for details about represented artists. Or call 858-756-8488 The gallery is located at 6024, Ste D, Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

Canyon Crest Academy senior wins prestigious awards for his art BY JAMES DREVNO Canyon Crest Academy Senior Sean Hnedak was recently awarded a national American Visions Medal at the 2011 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. He also won two Gold Key Southern California Regional Awards. Hnedak was recognized for two submissions of his, Japan, a digital piece, and Rotten Eggs, a pen and marker drawing. Both received Gold Key Awards. Rotten Eggs also earned national recognition and was bestowed with the American Visions Medal. In addition Rotten Eggs has been selected by the staff of The President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities to be included in a special, yearlong exhibition with 44 other works at the The Lyndon Baines Johnson Department of Education BuildSean Hnedak ing in Washington, D.C. His name also appeared in The New York Times, along with all of the other national award recipients. Rotten Eggs was also featured in Scholastic’s 2011 National Art Catalogue, as well as this year’s Scholastic calendar. Sean is ecstatic about his achievements. “Winning the award felt like a huge payoff for all the hard work I put into my art,” Hnedak said. According to the Executive Director of the awards, Virginia McEnerney, only 1,500 students earned National Awards this year, out of 185,000 submissions. Professionals in the arts select only the top 1 percent of all of the entries as national winners. Previous Scholastic Art and Writing awards recipients include Andy Warhol, Richard Avedon, John Currin, Truman Capote, Sylvia Plath, Robert Redford, John Baldessarie and Zac Posen. “The defining moment of my life was when I was 17 and was honored by the Scholastic Awards.” Sean’s award-winning “Rotten Eggs” – Richard Avedon, photographer. Each submitted piece goes through a battery of judging before being claimed the winner. First, a “blind judging” session protects the identity of the students. Next, a “Freedom of Expression” clause in the judging ensures that no work is disqualified on the basis of content. According to The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers, the criteria for a winning piece must include originality, technical skill, and an emergence of a personal vision or voice. The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards is the nation’s largest, longest-running scholarship and recognition program for teenage artists and writers. According to the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, which holds the annual event, these awards are “an important opportunity for students to be recognized for their creative talents.” Hnedak hopes to take his art skills even further. “In the future, I plan to pursue art in college, and hopefully work as an illustrator.”

Philanthropic sisters go ‘Over the Edge’ to help children with disabilities BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Rancho Santa Fe Rappaport girls rappel. On Aug. 20, Tali, 19, and Malia, 16, stepped off the top of the 33-story Manchester Grand Hyatt in the third annual “Over the Edge” event for Kids Included Together (KIT), a national non-profit based in San Diego that promotes inclusion for kids with disabilities. Tali, 19, a Canyon Crest graduate and current sophomore at the University of Puget Sound and Malia, 16, a junior at Canyon Crest Academy, overcame their fears and rappelled 357 feet to help support the inclusion of children with disabilities in after-school programs. “It was quite the adventure,” Tali said. While participants had to raise $2,000 to participate, the Rappaport teens raised $2,530, with an additional $1,000 grant from Mitsubishi to make t-shirts for their inclusionary program I AM NORM, a national campaign they helped start in 2009. The two young activist sisters speak in a rhythm, their thoughts weaving into each other. “I was freaked out, weeks prior,” Tali said of the rappel. “I had been so excited, but our roles reversed at the top,” Malia said. “They had a cell phone to call down at the top — I called my dad and told him he could use my college fund for a car (should anything happen to Mali).” Tali went first, leading the way for her little sister. “When you’re up there on the edge, it’s freaky but it’s just that first step that’s the hardest,” Tali said. “It’s so significant and metaphorical, it was amazing to experience how hard that first step can be.” After that first step, Malia wasn’t scared anymore — halfway down the sisters were dancing on the rope. Through their work the last two years, the Rappaports have been trying to show how people can take that first step toward inclusion and how easy it is to accept and respect youth with disabilities in schools and communities. Inclusion is something that the Rappaport girls have fought for since a young age. “I always befriended the ‘special education’ students and made it a point to talk to them,” Tali said. Malia remembers classmates cruelly making fun of a fellow student who made noises due to his Tourette syndrome and helping another who was left out due to the effects of autism. “I took some of the brunt, as well,” Tali said. “Girls can be nasty.” The pair got involved with KIT and became buddies in Miracle League, helping children with disabilities play baseball at San Dieguito Park. In 2009, they applied to become two of just 20 teens

selected nationally to meet at a summit in Washington, D.C. to create a social media campaign to promote inclusion. Tali said the group was “unbelievable,” all passionate about what they were there to do and all believing “diversity makes us stronger and discrimination breaks us down.” One member of their group, Sarah Cronk of Iowa, recently won the 2011 Do Something Award’s $100,000 prize for her project The Sparkle Effect. Cronk’s Sparkle Effect was the first high school inclusive cheerleading squad that has now generated 26 squads in 15 states. “That just shows how amazing the people we worked with are,” Tali said. That teen summit spurned the I AM NORM, campaign,
promoting inclusion and redefining normal. With six active members, they have filmed two commercials, made buttons and t-shirts. Last year, Malia returned to Washington, D.C. to speak at the National Girl Scout Conference and spoke last November at the KIT’s National Conference on Inclusion, a four-day conference in which she included in the keynote speaker’s address. The girls also spread the message of I AM NORM at Comic-Con this summer. Tali said it was not a hard message to spread in a place where people were proud not to be “normal”— unafraid to be walking around dressed as ogres or superheroes. At CCA this year Malia hopes to create a Norm chapter that would promote inclusion at their school. Malia admits that her school is already very inclusive of all different kinds of personalities—“Normal at CCA is walking around in all neon, people wear ape suits and kilts!,”

Fairbanks Ranch philanthropists team up in horse racing through ‘Lady Fairbanks’ BY KELLEY CARLSON CONTRIBUTOR “Lady” is ginger-haired and sassy, yet sweet. She also has big teeth and eats like ... well ... a horse. Her name is Lady Fairbanks, and among her owners are members of Las Damas de Fairbanks, a 28-year-old social and philanthropic group that holds fundraisers for a different charity each month. About a year ago, Las Damas co-president Michele Stephens approached West Point Thoroughbreds about making a presentation discussing racing and ownership to the group. West Point creates and manages racing partnerships, which allows people to own percentages in racehorses. Stephens herself was already involved with West Point — among the horses she owns with the team is El Gato Malo, winner of the San Rafael Stakes (Grade III) and the Lone Star Derby (Grade III). In late April 2011, West Point representatives spoke to Las Damas members, addressing topics such as what happens behind the scenes and the history of the sport. In addition, some shares were available in a couple of horses owned by the partnership, including an unraced 2-year-old chestnut filly. As an added incentive, Las Damas members who were interested in ownership were given naming rights to the filly, according to Nancy Ury, vice president of West Coast operations for West Point. Six women — all residents of Fairbanks Ranch — came forward and bought percentages in the horse, with high expectations for her future. Along with Stephens, Las Damas co-president Sandra den Uijl, vice president Marianne Hoffman and members Lori Poleshuk, Frances Splinter and Agnes Baralett became owners. Collectively, they came up with the name Lady Fairbanks. “We’re hoping we have a good horse,” Stephens said. So far, the filly — trained by Craig Dollase — has made three starts. She finished fifth in her first outing, on July 7 at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, and then narrowly missed breaking her maiden with a runner-up effort on Del Mar’s
nerships — other members of the Las Damas group were new to the sport. Poleshuk had once been a horse owner and competed on the show circuit. She said she was looking for a way to be around horses once again, so the idea of owning a share appealed to her. But until the start of this year’s Del Mar meet, Poleshuk had never been to the races. Hoffman had some exposure to equines — her father enjoyed riding, but she said that because his horse sometimes spooked, it caused her to have a fear of the animal. These days, “I’m getting comfortable,” she said. “It’s more fun when you have a stake in a race ... It’s really exciting to be a horse owner, even if it is just a fraction.” Although she didn’t grow up around them, den Uijl said she loves horses. Having attended Del Mar’s opening day for the last five years, “I figured maybe it would be a good time to start investing Las Damas members Lori Poleshuk, Michele Stephens, Marianne Hoffman, since I come a lot,” she said. Splinter explained that she wanted in Sandra den Uijl, Frances Splinter and Agnes Baralett (not pictured) are on the partnership so she could meet new among the owners of Lady Fairbanks, held by Nancy Ury, vice president of people. A relative newcomer to the area — West Coast operations for West Point Thoroughbreds. she moved from Canada two years ago — Photo by Kelley Carlson Splinter said it’s a way to open up socially. But she added that she also enjoys horses. opening day. Lady Fairbanks’ most recent start was Aug. 21 Den Uijl, Hoffman, Poleshuk and Splinter indicated when she finished third behind Sister Moon, who set a track that they would be interested if the chance arose to own record for 5 1/2 furlongs. more racehorses. According to Stephens, Lady Fairbanks will rest until “What a great opportunity to get women involved in this fall, and may possibly make her next start at Santa Anita the world of horse racing,” Stephens said. “Thanks to West Park in Arcadia. Point for letting us do that; there are five new women now While Stephens already had a stake in about a dozen racehorses — through West Point and a couple of other part- involved in the sport.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review
UCSD builds knowledge exchange corridors to connect to community BY WILL BOWEN CONTRIBUTOR UCSD sits perched high atop a lofty hill overlooking the town of La Jolla. But has UCSD become an ivory tower, aloof and detached from the communities below it with very little in the way of structures that allow for the free flow of information, knowledge, and creative intelligence from the community to the university and back? Professor Teddy Cruz of the UCSD Visual Arts Department and Professor Michael Cole of Communications both think so and they are trying to do something about it. They’ve put together a pilot project called “Knowledge Exchange Corridors: The UCSD Community Stations Initiative.� The aim of the program is to revitalize the university’s commitment to community service through the installation of pipelines for information flow between the campus and surrounding communities. At the Calit2 facility on campus on Aug. 19, Cruz and Cole gave a presentation about their work and opened an art show at the Calit2 Art Gallery that high-
lights the features of their program. Students and teachers from the associated Summer Workshop series were also present to share their projects. In the Calit2 Art Gallery there were large colorful maps and visualizations of the people and organizations involved in the project. There were also three computer stations and three small visual display units to provide information. An “OptlPortableâ€? (a large display screen for real-time video and audio Internet interaction between sites on and off campus) was also on view. Through the project, UCSD will have a presence and be involved in some underserved, economically disadvantaged areas of San Diego. At these intervention sites or stations, dialogue and a two-way sharing of information will hopefully occur. There will be a partnership of organizations on campus with others off campus. • The UCSD Center for Community Well-Being, headed by Michael Cole, will partner with San Diego Work Force Partnership’s South Metro Center in Southeast San Diego to fur-
the Border Crossing, where there are so many idling cars, as well as pollution studies at the Tijuana Estuary. • Katie Rast, one of the teachers for the mini series of summer educational workshops, who is affiliated with Fab Lab based at the South Metro Center, showed off some of her refugee students from a community soccer league who had learned about web design and made Ipad battery chargers and Draw Audio pens that make music when you write. • Trish Stone, curator at Calit2 gallery, invited people up to campus to check out the exhibit. “People can see some really good models of university/community interaction, which might lead them to formulate some ideas for how their own...community might be more involved with the university,â€? she said. If you go: The Calit2 Art Gallery is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday at Atkinson Hall, First Floor, 9500 Gilman Drive. Admission is free. The exhibit runs to Sept. 23.

Calt2 will be involved as a resource for the technology needed. • Srinivas Sukumar, a researcher at Calit2 who helped found the Center for Community Well-Being, promised that, “Calit2 will provide the very latest tech-
nology to bring to bear on the community issues confronted by the organizations.� • Deborah Forster, a cognitive scientist affiliated with the Center of Urban Ecology, who teaches at both the Woodbury School of Architecture at the New School of Architecture in San Diego, said she would bring engineering students into the communities. She also mentioned some projects already underway, such as a study of air pollution at

Malia would love to attend UC Berkeley and aims to become an American Sign Language (ASL) teacher. This year she will also go for her Girl Scout Gold Award by

Rancho Santa Fe Review
FIRE continued from page 1 made cuts but what we have done, this all ties together about what we’re all talking about, the cooperative efforts have helped. The cooperative efforts… with the cities of Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana beach… have brought in some revenue of about $300,000 and we have not filled a couple of vacancies created when people have left. And there haven’t been raises for personnel in almost three years now. Q. You mentioned that there are going to be some changes in the ambulance service? A. Currently how the ambulance service works for the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, the city of Encinitas, the city of Solana Beach, Del Mar, Harmony Grove and some of the city (of San Diego), it’s called County Service Area 17, it was set up to provide ambulance service for our communities. The ambulance service is a contract through the County of San Diego, authorized by the county Board of Supervisors. The paramedics on the ambulance work for San Diego Medical Services, which is a private company that provides transport service for CSA 17. They’ve been running in deficit spending for the last three years and because of that, there’s now going to be a $400 transport fee, which will be new to anybody transported who lives within the district. If you’re a non-resident, if you’re staying here, driving through here, visiting here, and you incur the need of an ambulance, you’ll be charged in excess of $1,100 for their fees. And that fee has not changed, it’s always been the case. The only new fee will be the $400 fee that is going to be incurred by any transport by CSA 17 ambu-
DEAL continued from page 1 council got no response. Signed by Heebner and Solana Beach Councilman Dave Roberts and addressed to Del Mar Mayor Don Mosier and Del Mar Councilman Mark Filanc, the letter was in part a response to a staff report issued by Mosier and Filanc on July 25 to update the community on the fairgrounds purchase proposal. The report stated that the City of Del Mar “continues to move forward on the proposed purchase, reach out to regional stakehold-
lance. That’s started I believe August 1. Where in the past, there’s never been a bill for the CSA 17 but because of deficit spending in the CSA 17 the county Board of Supervisors approved that $400 fee to balance our budget within three years. Q. Walk us through what you have going and things you might be thinking about in the future, regarding cooperative efforts with other agencies? A. The cooperative efforts have started a long time ago. Back in the early 2000s, the North County fire agencies put out to bid, to see what it would take, how can we do things to better help the customers and reduce the duplication of services? The study came back and gave a bunch of recommendations. They recommended that we should do some joint training, we should all try and start working together and that started a functional consolidation amongst a lot of the North County agencies. We started working off the same training manual, we started working off the same policies and procedures and emergency manual, we started setting up some things in place so each agency can respond into another agency if they’re closer. It’s called a boundary drop. Boundary drop is no matter what the call is, if you’re closer you’ll go. There’ve been a couple that didn’t involve themselves in that but as a whole, North County agencies do a boundary drop. The closest appropriate engine or chief or anybody will respond. In 2007… Rancho Santa Fe ended up going into a contract with Del Mar and Solana Beach providing battalion chief coverage, emergency response coverage and management cover-
age… that’s a 24-hour, seven day a week, if they had a major incident, our battalion chief would go over there and manage their emergency and utilize that. That went real well. So in 2009 we expanded that to say hey, let’s look at other opportunities and the city of Encinitas joined in at that time… Our training chief, Rancho Santa Fe training chief is doing training for all 11 fire stations with four different agencies. (Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas.) We have increased the level of service, yet decreased the cost to all agencies involved. Because of that we won a (San Diego) taxpayers association Golden Watchdog award. For realizing a total cost savings amongst all four agencies of I believe was in the milliondollar (range). Q. Do you see a point at which those four agencies will simply merge? A. That’s what we’re looking into right now. (At) our next governance meeting, people that sit on the governance committee are two people from the city of Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe (fire district), along with the city managers and the two fire chiefs. We are going to be talking about different models, and which model we are going to choose to move forward with. Ultimately, can that be the end result? Yes. But we’re not that far yet. We’re trying to take little steps to get a foundation down. Just as we did with the North County JPA (joint powers authority) for the dispatch center, which took 25 years to where it’s at right now, we’ve been doing this since about 2009, so we’ve been doing this for a couple of years now, we’ve got a few more years to go before we work this out. It’s not a real quick process, in trying to get four different agencies doing the same thing. It has to make financial sense for everybody involved. It’s up to the governance, the fire board directors and the three city councils. They will have to make the final decision. Q. How long have you been in this new headquarters and how does it fit into your overall plans? A. We moved in at the end of March. We were challenged to have enough parking for the needs of the customers. We looked into the possibility of doing a joint parking structure with the inn, the association, the school
ers and have discussion with the City of Solana Beach and organized labor.” Talk of the investors — three horse owners led by Mike Pegram — backing out of the deal began with a Thoroughbred Times interview published on July 9 in which Pegram was quoted as saying “it just didn’t work out.” A subsequent July 22 article in the San Diego Union-Tribune — which Solana Beach officials cited in their letter as a premise behind clarifying their position on the matter — also stated key investors had pulled out. Mosier and Filanc responded to these news reports in the July 25 Del Mar City Council meeting, however, saying the deal is not dead. “That wasn’t what the horsemen had told us,” said Mosier in an Aug. 30 interview. He said the potential investors are simply holding off on the deal until final numbers are released after the races close on Sept. 7, and the financial performance of this year’s race meet can be reevaluated. It was difficult to respond to Solana Beach officials’ letter, said Mosier, because it didn’t address
and ourselves, the costs were scary. For the same costs we were going to put into that parking structure, we bought this facility, (tenant-improved) and outfitted. So the money that we were going to spend on the parking structure, which was just going to be 25 spaces… we were able to buy this building and get 22 parking spaces committed as a part of it. It made sound financial sense to the board and the management to go this route. Some of the benefits of having it here, we have room for the future, we have ample space for our customers to come in and park, we have a better setup, we had a squeezed fire prevention bureau over there. We have counter space, we have areas where we can open up plans and review plans with the customer. Each one of the prevention areas are built so they can just open up a set of plans, do their plan reviews right there, right at their work station instead of having to move somewhere else and everybody trying to fight for one plan area. The other aspect is now that we vacated the El Fuego location where we were before, we were able to give the (Rancho Santa Fe) patrol somewhere they could be for however long they want. We signed an agreement with six five-year leases with them, so they can be there as long as they want to meet their needs… it’s a permanent home for them. So, the outcome was really a winwin-win for everybody. I loved that location, I miss it a little bit, but this is more centrally located for the whole fire district. It makes it easier for other members of the fire district to get to and have ample parking. Q. We understand the district’s long-time fire marshal, Cliff Hunter, is set to retire soon. Will you fill the position? A. We were very fortunate to have a fire marshal who was not only just locally known, county known, but nationally known. A great individual with extensive knowledge and background and experience. The fire marshal is ultimately responsible for the duties of the fire prevention bureau, and is the liaison with homeowners associations and different community groups to make sure that ultimately we have a fire-safe community. He’s responsible for directing and implementing codes and enforcing the codes. We have many shelter-in-place communities here that were built and have to be maintained and it takes a full-time fire marshal to do that.
the points he and Filanc made in the July 25 meeting. “We tried to relay in the council meeting that the fairgrounds are still for sale,” said Mosier, adding that if the state decides to support the sale, it is possible that Pegram and his investors may still be interested. “If not them, other investors might be interested,” said Mosier. “It’s not dead; it’s in limbo but could be resurrected in the fall or next winter.” Mosier said there was no formal response to Solana Beach, but there was informal communication. “Our interim city manager said that we appreciate their comments and will respond in due course,” Mosier said. “Much depends on events not in Del Mar’s control, so we’ll see what happens.” In addition to clarifying that the Solana Beach City Council “will not support any one entity controlling the use, management and operations of fairground and horseracing activities,”
More or less the fire marshal is like the fire chief’s right hand when it comes to the fire prevention aspect of it. He’s making sure the community is going to be safe along with the fire chief. We are going to move forward with an open recruitment, a statewide recruitment for his replacement. His retirement date is October 1st. We’re not going to fill his shoes, that would be very difficult after more than 40 years in the fire service, as a fire chief, a county fire marshal, and now the fire marshal of Rancho Santa Fe. Q. What’s in store for the region this fire season? I went to the operational readiness meeting out in East County to see what the fire season’s going to be, what they’re expecting, what the fire behaviorists and the meteorologists are saying, and they’re saying were going to have a hotter than normal winter. We’re not going to have as much rain up until about February, and so, we’re going to have those dry Santa Ana (winds) coming later, but they’re still going to be in the moderate range. We have not had that many starts this year as we did last year, fire starts, grass fires and smaller fires… for a fire to get big it has to start small, we haven’t had that many this year as we’ve had in years past, but that does not say that the hazard’s gone. I think more people are aware and they’re doing their due diligence to make sure that we’re being fire-safe, but the fire season is probably going to be a moderate fire season, in October, they’re still expecting Santa Anas, and we just have to make sure that were prepared. Q. What are the most important things people can do to be ready for fire season? A. Number one, defensible space. Make sure that you have defensible space around your structure. When you get that letter in the mail, hey make sure your area is clear, listen to that, get your defensible space because that’s going to protect your home and property from not only catching on fire, but if it does catch on fire, more ability for the firefighters to come save it. Number two is just be prepared. Be diligent, and know your escape routes, know which way if you have to evacuate, where you’re going to evacuate, and how to get out if you need to.
the letter from the Solana Beach City Council stated it does not support the “charitable trust” concept of ownership as proposed by the City of Del Mar because it does not provide adequate assurances that the single entity of the City of Del Mar would not have ultimate control over the fairgrounds. The letter stated that the council also doesn’t support the “charitable trust” concept because it is “overly complex, cumbersome and vulnerable to operational and management conflicts between horseracing and non-horseracing activities” and does not provide a clear resolution mechanism. “Nor does it provide for adequate regional input and control of the operations or future operations of this regional asset,” the letter stated. The City of Solana Beach does, however, support the regional control and management of the fairgrounds.

API continued from page 2 up nine points over last year, and the API for La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad came in three points higher than last year, scoring 818. Less money, larger classes Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s executive director of curriculum and assessment, said this year’s growth “is the continuation of an upward trend” over the past three to five years. He credits the work the staff has done identifying and zeroing in on under-performing students and under-achieving subgroups. “We’re trying to identify those individual students and making sure they’re getting additional support ... and then providing targeted and effective intervention,” he said. He also said staff has worked collaboratively in recent years to achieve consistency in instruction district-wide, “rather than each site doing its own different thing.” Schools have also developed common assessments for each course that are given several times during the school year, to measure comprehension of the material. “That allows us to adjust our instruction mid-stream if kids aren’t performing well on those common assessments,” Grove said. Being able to identify struggling students while they’re still in school, rather then depending upon state tests results released the summer after school is out, helps teachers immediately address gaps in learning, he said. Grove said teachers are not neglecting other students in the process though. “All of our kids are learning better,” he said, not just the under-performers. The district is identifying what he called “essential learning outcomes” so teachers can focus on what all kids need to know to move successfully to the next level. Rick Schmitt, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services, said the district eliminated most of its travel and conference budget four years ago and invested the money – about $500,000 annually – into teacher release time and training. “Our teachers are more skilled at giving kids immediate feedback,” he said. He said much of the gains came from improvements in achievement following intervention work with under-per-
forming students. Also contributing was the decision to add college tutors to belowgrade-level classes, to assist teachers and provide more individual attention to struggling students. As with all California school districts, San Dieguito has seen its budget slashed in the past few years, and has had to reassess priorities. Yet API scores continue to rise in San Dieguito, with less money and larger class sizes. “The biggest investment school districts make is in people, and people cost money,” Schmitt said. “Our class sizes have gone up the last five years, and that’s universally true.” There is some evidence that students in kindergarten through third grade benefit from very small class sizes, he said, but the evidence is not there for older students. “The older the kids get and the more affluent the neighborhood, the less if any noticeable gains there are,” he said. “I’m not saying it doesn’t help, because in certain cases it does. But universally there’s no evidence.” “Budget cuts are there and they’re going to continue, I believe,” Grove said, mentioning the district’s severe cuts in support staff, grounds and maintenance.
“But we as a district have done our absolute best to make cuts in areas that are not as directly going to impact teaching and learning.” He credited SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah for making it clear that student achievement was the top priority. “If we need things to help kids learn, he’s going to do his best to make sure we have the resources to do that,” Grove said. Schmitt and Grove both said the district is fortunate to have supportive parents and families to provide financial aid, nurturing and opportunities for their kids. Canyon Crest’s gains Of the district’s eight comprehensive middle and high schools, five scored APIs over 900 – all four middle schools, plus Canyon Crest Academy High School. “Canyon Crest is the first comprehensive high school in San Diego County to top 900,” Schmitt said. Statewide, there were only six comprehensive high schools topping 900 last year. Schmitt said they will review this year’s API scores in the next few days to see what the 2011 data show. “[CCA principal] Brian [Kohn] and [founding principal] David [Jaffe] built that place, its energy and culture, and they get a ton of credit,” Schmitt said. “No matter how you slice

it, I think one can argue that this is an historic accomplishment,” Kohn said in an email. “However, the thing we are still the most proud of is … students are excited to come to CCA. It’s all about school culture. Jaffe set it up beautifully, the staff made it real, and the students achieve because they treat each other well. They like being here, and they are proud of their school.” Traditional comprehensive high schools exclude specialty schools that have eligibility criteria for admissions, which may include some charter schools, magnet schools and very small special applications schools. Grove said CCA saw gains across the board with all students but noted that the school has fewer under-performing students than Torrey Pines. “So it’s a little bit easier for them because there’s fewer students to identify to work with,” he said. Canyon Crest and Carmel Valley Middle School have the fewest proportional number of under-performing students, based mostly on the demographics of the communities they draw from, Grove said. Schmitt noted that Torrey Pines has larger populations than CCA of traditionally under-performing subgroups, like Latinos, socio-economically disadvantaged, special education and English language learners. However, TPHS also has a larger number of students in the higher-performing Asian subgroup. The formula for calculating the API is based about 80 percent on the results of the California Standards Tests given to students each spring, plus the results of the California High School Exit Exam. The CST and CAHSEE results were released earlier this month, so the district anticipated good API scores. “We were expecting to see good gains, based on those two tests,” Grove said. “We’re very pleased,” he said. “You work hard all year and you believe that you’re doing the right things, but this gives us validation of the work we’ve been doing. When you look at the data, it shows they’re learning.” The San Dieguito Union High School District educates about 12,525 students in grades 7-12 at eight traditional middle and high schools in a district ranging from Carmel Valley in the south to Carlsbad in the north.

Businessman and former jockey excited about future of winning ‘Majestic City’
Jeff Bloom with Majestic City as he cooled out after a workout. Photo/Charles Turner ships have allowed more people to become involved in thoroughbred ownership. In fact, this year’s Kentucky Derby was won by Animal Kingdom, campaigned by Team Valor, which has put together racing partnerships since 1992. Other well-known racing partnerships include Dogwood Stable, Great Friends and, now, Bloom Racing Stable. Bloom left West Point in March of this year to start his own business. Soon after, he established Bloom Racing Stable. In addition, Bloom is known to many as the emcee of Breakfast at Del Mar, held weekends in the Clubhouse Terrace Restaurant at the track. For more than 10 years, he has explained racing’s finer points while identifying many of the horses on the track for their morning workouts. Right now, Bloom Racing Stable has one horse, 2-yearold Majestic City. But what a horse! Undefeated Majestic City has won three races from three starts including the sixfurlong Hollywood Juvenile Championship (G3) at Hollywood Park on July 17.
People are talking about Majestic City, the 2-year-old chestnut son of City Zip, expected to be one of the favorites for the seven-furlong Del Mar Futurity (G1) on closing day, Sept. 7. Trainer Pete Miller conditions the colt. “Pete’s having a great meet,” said Bloom, manager of Bloom Racing Stable and part owner of 2-year-old Majestic City. “He’s done a great job getting Majestic City ready and keeping him in the right frame of mind.” Bloom bought Majestic City earlier this year at the Ocala Breeders March sale for $180,000. The colt is a son of City Zip, out of the Meadowlake mare It’schemistrybaby. Bloom put together the group of partners who own Majestic City. They all have owned horses before. The partners include Sylvia and David Batchelder, who have a home in Del Mar. The others are David’s brother Gene Batchelder and his son, Steven, from Texas; Rob Keen from Encinitas, Mehrzad and Cindy Azari from the Bay Area, Ed Barker From Washington state, and Andrew Yaffe from Oklahoma. David Batchelder has served on the board of directors of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club since 2008. “It’s a wonderful group of owners,” said the former jockey. “They are fully embracing the excitement and the thrill this horse has provided in such a short time.” Majestic City is doing really well,” said Bloom. “He has not missed a beat. He gallops and has a regular work schedule, every six days. (Jockey) David Flores has been working him. David says he has matured. He has started relaxing early, easing into the work and then finishing strongly. He’s developed mentally as well as physically.” Bloom notes he will be active at upcoming sales, developing and growing Bloom Racing Stable. Running Majestic City in the Del Mar Futurity means so much to Bloom, who has felt a special affinity for the local track ever since he first watched races there at age 13. Bloom now makes his home in Oceanside, with wife Susan and two daughters. Bloom can’t stop talking about Majestic City, who is not as high strung and around the barn as many racehorses: “He’s a sweetheart at the barn even though he’s a stud colt. When my daughters Ashley and Hannah are there, he will put his head on their shoulder.”

BY JULIE SARNO CONTRIBUTOR Jeff Bloom grew up in San Diego. When he was 13, he went to the races at Del Mar with his older brother, Michael. Bloom remembers the day well: “I said, ‘That’s it, ‘I’m going to be a jockey.’” Making his career decision was easy. Convincing his mom and dad to support his career choice was a lot harder. “I did not come from a racing family,” said Bloom, trim and athletic and younger looking than his 47 years. “It was hard to talk my parents into letting me become a jockey. They eventually caved in and let me pursue my passion.” Bloom learned to gallop horses and worked as an exercise rider under Muzzy Francis at San Luis Rey Downs. The teen learned alot from Francis, a former jockey turned trainer. Bloom stayed in school at his parents’ insistence, went to Helix High in La Mesa, graduated from Fallbrook High. Then, at 18, he obtained his license as a jockey. “As a jockey I rode my very first race at Del Mar in 1982,” recalled Bloom. “I was aboard a horse named Dancing Lou. I beat one horse and it was the best race he had ever run. He was sold as a show horse after. He was a gorgeous big chestnut. He didn’t like to go fast. He was destined to be anything but a racehorse.” Bloom rode races for nine years, retiring from the saddle in 1990 at age 26. After his riding career, he returned to San Diego State and graduated with a degree in finance. His degree has served him well in his subsequent career. Bloom worked for six years for West Point Thoroughbreds, a racing partnership business. He was a vice president and ran the West Coast operation. West Point Thoroughbreds offers individuals the chance to own fractional shares of racehorses, which is more affordable than traditional individual ownership. In addition to the purchase price of a thoroughbred racehorse, the costs for maintaining one ranges from $36,000-$40,000 annually. The acquisition cost of a horse, coupled with the feed, training, shoeing and veterinary expenses, put the sport out of reach for most. What about the purse money, the money won when a horse finishes first through fifth in a race? Purse money will help defray expenses, but what if the horse is laid up and there is no purse money?

Arterra chefs link their entree flavors to the seasons BY KELLEY CARLSON t Arterra, which means “art of the earth,” Executive Chef Tony Miller turns to his roots for inspiration in creating dishes. Growing up in the Midwest and on the East Coast, Miller noted that he experienced each of the four seasons distinctly, and wanted that to be reflected in his food. ”You can taste the seasons changing,” he said. One of his favorite items for the summer at Arterra — the menu will change Oct. 1 — is the Sweet Tea Brined Chicken and Waffles, a mixture of Benton’s bacon waffle, sweet corn and maple crema. Miller has a couple of entree recommendations for patrons enjoying “refined” service in the warmly hued dining room, with its cushioned seats and its gauzy curtains. One is the Fennel Pollen Seared Halibut, with potato puree, pickled cherry, braised fennel and lemon; the other is the Lobster Mac ‘n’ Cheese, incorporating mascarpone, parmesan, white truffle, orzo and chives, which is offered year-round. Children may choose items such as pizza, chicken and burgers from their special menu; Arterra also offers them a treasure box from which to select small toys — “kind of like at the

In the opulent indoor lounge, guests can relax in large, stuffed chairs with pillows or sit on metallic-colored seats around the bar, watching sporting events on one of eight TVs, while sampling more casual fare. There’s Crispy Peking Duck Tacos, a Trio of BLT Sliders and the 3 a.m. Cup of Noodles — “what the chef eats in the middle of the night,” Miller said. These contain crispy pork, spicy bacon broth, soba noodles and poached egg. When the weather is pleasant, guests can venture outside and set up at the outdoor lounge, adjacent to the pool. Kick back in the large cabana with its oversized seats or enjoy some one-on-one time at a table for two, while basking in the glow of a fire pit at night.

During happy hour, Arterra is at its most vibrant, busiest state — there’s live music to DJ-spun to reggae and rock, depending on the day of the week. Guests who desire a more intimate experience are advised to arrive at the start of happy hour (when it’s less crowded) or after 8:30 p.m. There are also private dining rooms for special events: There’s the newly redecorated, elegant Vintage Room, suitable for wine dinners and chef’s tables.

New School Year, New Horizon Prep Campus The Horizon Prep Lions are roaring into a new school year with a brand new campus. With the smell of fresh wood chips and shouts of “Hi! How was your summer?” Families navigated their way around this year’s “Teacher Meet & Greet.” “The beginning of every school year is exciting,” says Horizon Prep Vice Principal Holly Morey, “but this year it is especially exciting! We are truly blessed to be in our new facility.” “1st Grade & New Families” were treated to lunch and orientation. “This is a lunch-time runthrough for our incoming families,” says Morey “It helps ease first day jitters and makes it easier to learn-the-ropes on a soon-to-be-familiar campus. Prep Pals pairs new families with returning families so they can get together over the summer and form friendships before classes even begin.” Horizon Prep is celebrating a record retention rate along with the new campus: 97.5 percent of the Horizon Prep student body is returning from last year. Horizon Prep Head of Schools Dr. Ken Kush is quick to give credit where credit is due: “We clearly have something parents want for their children: academic excellence with competent, credentialed, caring teachers in a safe, loving and nurturing environment,” says Kush, “but we fully acknowledge God’s hand at work here at Horizon Prep. This is clearly not just about new buildings, this is about the growth and miracles we see on the campus in the lives of our students and their families everyday.” For more information, visit www.horizonprep.org

North Coast Repâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lend Me A Tenorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; revisits madcap comedies of the 1930s BY DIANA SAENGER CONTRIBUTOR The North Coast Repertory Theatre will open its 30th Season with Ken Ludwigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lend Me A Tenor,â&#x20AC;? nominated for numerous Tony and Drama Desk Awards. The production is directed by Matthew Wiener. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lend Me A Tenorâ&#x20AC;? pays homage to the screwball comedies of the 1930s, and in this farce, renowned tenor Tito Merelli, aka â&#x20AC;&#x153;Il Stupendo,â&#x20AC;? is the lead in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Othelloâ&#x20AC;? at a gala fundraiser. But before he can even leave his room, unexpected mishaps create chaos. Wiener likens â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lend Me A Tenorâ&#x20AC;? to early madcaps, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noises Offâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bringing Up Baby.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of door slamming in this play,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a fun thing for the actors because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridiculous people doing ridiculous things very quickly.â&#x20AC;? The cast includes Ted Barton (Saunders), Courtney Corey (Maggie), Jill Drexler (Julia) Jessica John (Maria),
Matthew Wiener
A farce with lots of door slamming. Courtesy Bernard X. Kopsho (Tito), Albert Park (Bellhop), Jacque Wilke (Diana) and Christopher M. Williams (Max). Wiener, in his 14th season as producing artistic director of Actors Theatre in Phoenix, has helmed plays of all genres around the country, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doubt,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lieutenant of Inishmore,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angels in America,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hedda Gabler,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Carol.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;A farce has a certain kind of theatricality to it,â&#x20AC;? Wiener said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The performers have to become bigger than life, but not be cartoonist. The stakes are high, but the consequences arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. So everyone thinks whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on is very important, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not playing Medea, and almost all of them live happily ever after.â&#x20AC;? Wiener promises the fast-paced â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lend Me A Tenorâ&#x20AC;? will make people laugh throughout the entire performance and leave with a smile on their faces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now, of all times,â&#x20AC;? he sighed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all just need to laugh.â&#x20AC;?

Art San Diego aims to be West Coast’s top contemporary art fair BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT CONTRIBUTOR Labor Day weekend is not just the end of summer. It’s time for art-lovers of all ages to celebrate the arts at a fourday extravaganza called Art San Diego. Back in 1970, a trio of Swiss gallerists started Art Basel, an annual international art fair that came to be known as “the Olympics of the art world.” In 2002, Miami jumped in with its own version, drawing more than 60,000 visitors last year. In 2009, two Del Martians, Ann Berchtold and Julie Schraeger, decided to put our region on the art map by creating Art San Diego. Their goal: to become the No. 1 contemporary art fair on the West Coast. Berchtold has some 15 years of experience in what she calls “cultural philanthropy,” which includes the founding committee of San Diego Visual Artists Network, founding a children’s program called Inspire Art Kids, directing the L Street Gallery at the Omni Hotel, and co-creating the San Diego Art Prize. Schraeger comes from a corporate background, with development and marketing skills. “We’re a good team,” Berchtold said. “I’m kind of the creative one, she’s the operational. We want to turn San Diego into a mecca for cultural tourism. Our model is ComicCon, for a different demographic.” In 2009, they staged their inaugural event at the Grand Del Mar. Last year, they moved to the Hilton Bayfront, attracting 6,000 attendees. This year, they’re back at the Hilton, with more than 50 galleries participating, from cities like Montreal, New York, Buenos Aires, Berlin and Shanghai, side by side with La Jolla notables Joseph Bellows and Mark Quint.
Besides all the international exhibits, the Fair offers themed Art Labs featuring a range of regional artists showing light sculpture, video, music and performance art at various locations, and a host of activities for children, including mask- and puppet-making, a giant puppet parade and a mass picnic on “San Diego’s largest picnic blanket.” Look for works by UCSD faculty members Ruben OrtizTorres and Jay S. Johnson, winners of this year’s Art Prize, awarded by San Diego Visual Arts Network (SDVAN) to “encourage dialogue, reflection and social interaction about San Diego’s artistic and cultural life.” And don’t miss the inventive furniture design from Canada, Mexico, and the U.S., including a selection of pieces by SDSU students and alumni. “The first year of the fair was marvelous, the second was more international — very dynamic, with lots going on, and a lot of great art — and I think this year will be just as terrific,” said Robin Lipman, Membership Chair of the Contemporary Arts Committee of The San Diego Museum of Art, which (along with the Museum of Contemporary Art and other area museums) is one of ASD’s local partners. With partners like these, and sponsors like UBS (a global wealth-management firm with offices in La Jolla), the Fair is well on its way. As Ann Berchtold pointed out: “It took Art Miami four years to build their attendance; now they bring in a half-billion dollars in Fair-related revenues to the city. We’re only in year number three.” For something really special, join the VIPs for a splashy opening night reception and after-pool-party. And if you want to turn your Fair-going into a Labor Day weekend staycation, the Hilton is offering discounted Art Fair rates on rooms, with VIP event tickets included.

Sports Round-up: Football preview BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR Cathedral Catholic suffered some pretty heavy graduation losses, but don’t expect anybody to feel sorry for the Dons. With Cathedral Catholic is in the midst of one of San Diego County’s greatest football dynasties in recent memory, graduating 14 seniors seems more like an inconvenience than a devastating blow. The Dons are seeking an unheard of fifth consecutive San Diego Section Div. III title after rebounding from a slow start to win the section title. The Dons, who going into last season had won 33 of their last 34 games going back to 2007, lost their first three games of the season but went on to win seven of their last eight, including a 24-7 thrashing of Lincoln of San Diego in the title game. And whatever the Dons lack in experience, they figure to make up for with a roster loaded with an abundance of talent. Running back J.J. Stavola, fullback/receiver Szongaia Brown, and quarterback Luke Ramsey are among the Dons key returnees. Other key returnees include linebacker Russell Reeder, defensive back Patrick Downing, and place kicker Brian Heinz. Torrey Pines: Torrey Pines is coming its best season in years, going 9-2 and advancing to the Div. I semifinals for the first time since 2005. And although the Falcons lost several key players from last year’s team, coach Scott Ashby is hopeful his team laid out a foundation it can build on. “I think we’re going to inexperienced early in the season, but we’ve got a lot of hard working kids and I believe we’re going to continue getting better as the season goes
Torrey Pines varsity squad got ready for some football during a scrimmage with Oceanside High on Aug. 26. The Falcons travel to Colton High for their first game on Sept. 2. Their first home game will be on Friday, Sept. 9 against Cathedral Catholic. Kickoff at 7 p.m. Photo/Anna Scipione on,” Ashby said. “Last year we had a great group of kids and some of our juniors and seniors were able to learn from them, so we’re looking forward to carrying on what we started last season.” Andrew Fargo, a powerful and swift senior fullback, is among the team’s key returnees. The always physical Falcons feature senior two-way lineman Jacob Alsadek, a 6-foot-7 310-pounder, who figures to help Torrey Pines continue that tradition. Senior Vincent Arvia is also considered one of the area’s top lineman. Seniors defensive backs Jack Mitchell
and Brandon Williams give the Falcons a talented and experienced secondary. Senior running back David Bagby also figures to play a prominent role. Newcomer Cole Jaczko, a junior running back up from the junior varsity, will also be counted on to make an impact. Santa Fe Christian: Santa Fe Christian is coming a season in which it advanced to the Div. V semifinals, but the road back won’t be easy. The Eagles suffered a setback before the season started when one of their most productive players from last season deciding to forgo his senior year to play baseball. But if history is any indication, the Eagles have a knack for rising to the occasion. The Eagles will miss two-way standout Josh Estill, a fullback/linebacker was among the team’s leading rushers and led the team in tackles. The Eagles graduated seven seniors including Austin Knoth, who rushed for 889 yards and nine touchdowns. But they return an abundance of talent. Key returnees include senior quarterback/defensive back Connor Moore, who rushed for 943 yards, threw for 697 yards, and combined for 13 touchdowns. Moore was second on the team with 106 tackles. Other key returnees include Jarrod Watson-Lewis, offensive lineman/linebacker Louie Dedonates, and running back/defensive back Graham Gomez. Watson-Lewis, a two-way standout, last season rushed for 566 yards and seven touchdowns and had 53 tackles. San Diego Jewish Academy: Adjusting to 11-man football was hard enough for upstart San Diego Jewish Academy. Now they’ll have to adjust to a new and exceedingly more difficult league. The Lions have moved up from the pedestrian Southern League to the intensely competitive Pacific League, where they’ll be
competing against some of the area’s top small-school programs, with some of their league opponents boasting enrollment greater than 900. SDJA has less than 150 students enrolled in its high school. And to make things really interesting, the Lions are fielding a team of just 13 players. Administration officials made the move because they wanted a more stable schedule after the team experienced several cancellations at some of the desert schools in the Southern League. “It’s definitely going to be a challenge,” Lions coach Mark Wetzel said. The Lions are led by junior quarterback Micah Weinstein, junior receiver Ethan Laser, and junior running back Jeremy Danzig. Other key returnees include senior halfback/strong safety/kicker Adam Baltinester, a soccer standout who’s being recruited as a kicker by several Div. I colleges including Miami, Michigan and San Diego State. Baltinester, along with senior two-way linemen Isaac Perez and Yuval Samuels will also be counted on for leadership. New addition Donte Atkins, a 6-foot-2 363-pound two-way lineman who’s from Samoa, gives the Lions a formidable presence at the line of scrimmage the program has never had. Other key newcomers included sophomore linebacker/offensive lineman Jake Posnock, freshman two-way lineman Daniel Magoon, and Kiote Coles, a female junior who is a starting linebacker. The Lions run a complicated spread offense that they hope will enable them to overcome their lack of depth and inexperience. “We’re going to have to outsmart our opponents,” Wetzel said.

Robyn Gallant, the museum’s event planner, marketing director, and just about everything else, is having a busy month. “I’m a one-woman show here,” she said. “I do everything but the accounting. I love planning events, but this one is really labor-intensive. I have to work with the Navy, the Coast Guard, the Port of San Diego, Homeland Security, the Fire Marshall, the Health Inspector. I’m even in charge of Port-a-Potties!” Apparently, it takes a village to stage a Festival of Sail. Gallant supervises some 300 volunteers, many of them “youngsters” in their 70s and 80s. Normally, she has about six months to organize the event. This year, because of the big “Three Voyages to Paradise” exhibition (see La Jolla Light 6/9/11) and the building of the San Salvador at Spanish Landing (see sidebar), she had only eight weeks. “All hands are working this month,” Gallant said. “And we can
The topsail schooner Amazing Grace was in last year’s Grand Parade of Sail and will be in this year’s, too. Photo/Maggie Walton always use volunteers. We have something for everyone around here; you don’t have to be a sailor. Anyone who asks if we’d like some help: the answer is Yes!” The first Festival of Sail was in 1999. 500,000 people showed up to see the parade of Class A ships — all over 200 feet long. “It was incredible, and incredibly crazy,” Gallant said. “So we decided to only do it every three years, when the tall ships go on rotation, from East Coast to West. But the event is so popular that we’re doing it annually again.” The preamble to the four-day festival begins sometime before noon on Thursday, Sept. 1, with a parade of tall ships — mostly smaller Class B ones, up to 150 feet long — led by a Navy vessel, sailing into San Diego Harbor. The parade (which should
last about two hours) can be viewed from a number of locations besides the Embarcadero — like Shelter Island, Harbor Island or Cabrillo National Monument — wherever you can find parking. Or BYOBoat if you have one, and watch from the water. “The best place to launch is the main boat ramp on Shelter Island,” said sailing pro and Maritime Museum publications editor Neva Sullaway. “Or you can launch small craft like kayaks right near the San Salvador site. The festival itself begins Friday morning, when you can board the tall ships and chat with their crews, or soak up some sounds on the Berkeley, the Museum’s 1898 ferryboat, where entertainment will run the gamut from sea chanteys to contemporary rock, mariachis, and steel drums. If you’re up for something more active, you can take part in a cannon battle at sea or sign on for a pirate adventure cruise. And of course, you can visit the Museum, and see the “Paradise” exhibit, a celebration of the era of tall ships and adventurous men. Over 200,000 visitors are expected over the four days, so you won’t be alone, but if you come at off-peak times, you should do just fine. Tickets are needed to access the festival area, but the parade-viewing and vendor sector are free.
If you go What: Festival of Sail When: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 2-4; Tall Ships Parade Sept. 1 Where: Maritime Museum of San Diego, 1492 North Harbor Drive Tickets: $10-$15, good for area access all four days; $40+ for on-water activities Contact: (619) 234-9153 Schedule: sdmaritime.org Tips: Go in off-peak hours (morning or late afternoon). Forget parking along the Embarcadero. Park in the lot across the street or consider taking the trolley to the nearby Little Italy station and walking from there. Festival Sidelight: See shipbuilders in action. At Spanish Landing in Point Loma, where the Maritime Museum is building a full-sized, fully functional, historically accurate replica of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s flagship, San Salvador, the first European vessel to reach America’s West Coast. Festival tickets include unlimited visits to the newly-opened site.
Is It
LOW T?
Low T is short for low testosterone, a condition facing many adult males. Everyone is familiar with the stage in a woman’s life known as menopause. But few realize that men are also faced with serious hormonal changes. The difference? The process in men, known as andropause, begins in their 20’s and continues gradually as they age.

High hopes for Canyon Crest Water Polo BY TED GROZEN CONTRIBUTOR In a single high school water polo game, the average player will swim well over a mile, all the while wrestling with opponents and fighting for position. Therefore, it’s only fitting that Canyon Crest varsity water polo coach Charlie Equels, entering his fourth year heading the program, begins the season with tryouts incorporating two “hell weeks” during which his players have two intense workouts a day beginning as early as 5:30 a.m. These grueling practices are used to assess and improve each player’s water polo abilities, physical fitness, and endurance, helping Equels create a roster filled with players with not only talent but also strength and stamina. At the end of the two weeks, the hard work paid off for 13 young men, as Equels announced his teams Aug. 25 at a team/parent meeting and dinner party. Comprising the varsity squad are seniors Taylor Dean (team captain), Jeff Elsner, Matteo Lanza-Billetta,
Kevin Li, and Daniel Lifton; juniors Casey Crocamo, Jerry Guess, John Guess, Eric Schade, and Martín Vicario; and sophomores Kyle Grozen, Josh Trissel, and David Twyman were all named to the roster. The reigning Valley League champions, Canyon Crest returns five starters from last year’s team, and in spite of losing league MVP Tyler Robinson to graduation are driven to repeat as league champions for the third consecutive year. However, the challenge for this team historically has not been league titles, but rather success in CIF competition. As the #10 seed, Canyon Crest fell 5-0 to University City in the first round of the San Diego Section playoffs last year, and the program has never advanced past the 2nd round in its history. Having only lost 2 seniors off of last year’s team, however, Canyon Crest is very optimistic about their chances this year. “Semifinals,” says junior Casey Crocamo. “The goal for this team is a top-5 seeding and then a run to
the CIF semifinals. There’s no reason we can’t do it.” Sophomore Kyle Grozen echoes Crocamo’s optimism: “We have a lot of really skilled, smart water polo players on this team, and plenty of depth coming off the bench. I think we can go really far into CIF’s, definitely.” Clearly, hopes are very high for this young program. Canyon Crest opens its official season Sept. 16 with a nonleague matchup at Ramona High School.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS The ‘Cheers’
of Torrey Hills BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer At Taste of Italy, located at 4653 Carmel Mountain Road, everyone knows your name. “It’s just like ‘Cheers’ here,” said Rob Horbianski,
the Italian eatery’s general manager. “When I go to Vons next door, all I see is our regulars there.” And thanks to the loads of regular diners who come in consistently, the restaurant has been able to expand

recently, adding an enclosed patio — fit with a fire pit, a big screen for sports or presentations and hookups for Internet or music. The restaurant has not only been inundated by calls to book the room for parties (at no rental fee), but they are offering live music and dancing several nights a week. Horbianski said the renovations to the restaurant are a reflection of the Torrey Hills neighborhood itself, which is also growing and evolving. “There are so many new homes being built,” he said. “It’s just a great area with great schools and people want to be here.” Much of what keeps people coming back to Taste of Italy is the food. For example, there are a lot of people who come in on Wednesdays just for the cream of jalapeño with artichoke soup, a house specialty. “It’s not Italian,” said

owner David Bono of the soup. “But it’s unbelievable.” Another favorite dish — the fish tacos — are a hidden gem of Taste of Italy, and can be found on the bar menu. “The bar menu is like our secret menu,” said Bono. “All the locals know about
our fish tacos. They are really the best fish tacos in town.” Taste of Italy also makes its salad dressings and pizza doughs (including gluten-free dough) from scratch, and the tequila-lime jalapeño pasta is a neighborhood favorite. The caprese and gorgonzola salads are popular. Appetizers are half price and drinks are $2 off for happy hour, which runs from 2 to 7 p.m.
Bono, whose culinary expertise comes from his Italian upbringing in Boston, is particularly excited to share the restaurant’s new lounge and conference room, which will double as a great place to watch Sunday football this fall. Music hookups on the patio allow guests to play their own personal music libraries, and Taste of Italy also sells cigars.

Swimming with the Fishes: Aquatic videographers host 12th annual UnderSea Film Exhibition BY JENNA JAY CONTRIBUTOR Marine life takes center stage at the 12th annual San Diego UnderSea Film Exhibition, Sept. 9 and 10 at the Qualcomm Hall in Sorrento Valley. Presented by the San Diego underwater videography organization UFEX, the exhibition will feature 32 short films by deep-sea filmmakers from around the world. A panel of independent judges appointed by UFEX chose the films to showcase from a pool of international entries. The exhibition will present 16 selected films each evening beginning at 7 p.m., with each film a maximum of 5-minutes long and all featuring underwater footage ranging from kelp forests and exotic fish to sharks, reefs and other sea life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exhibition is put on by a group of San Diego underwater videographers who were initially just looking for a showcase to show their videos to the public,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Hanauer, head of the UFEX outreach committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the last 12 years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown international.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s UnderSea Film Exhibition will also feature the winning film from the Capture the World contest for underwater videographers, sponsored by Gates Underwater Products, Aggressor and Dancer Fleets. Unlike many other film displays, the UnderSea Film Exhibition requires no entry fees for participants and awards no prizes other than the distinction of having a film chosen for the event. Claiming patrons of the film exhibition will take away â&#x20AC;&#x153;an appreciation for the underwater world,â&#x20AC;? Hanauer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For most people, the ocean is a barrier and there is still much false information going out, things like Shark Week. A lot of people are afraid of the ocean â&#x20AC;Ś if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing we want to convey, it would be the beauty of the underwater world and the artistry of the people who are shooting these films and conveying that beauty.â&#x20AC;?

Photo/ Eric Hanauer to the Fiji and Galapagos Islands and other exotic locations are expected in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short films. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trends [in videos] kind of follow the travel trends in diving,â&#x20AC;? Hanauer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One year Indonesia was a hot destination for exotic small creatures. A few years earlier, people started going to Guadalupe Island to film white sharks. The last couple of years, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a trend, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an environmental trend. A lot of shows have a green message.â&#x20AC;? Hanauer said the audience is expected to be half divers and half people interested in nature and the oceans. A portion of the proceeds will go to Birch Aquarium at Scripps and the Chula Vista Nature Center.

Ask the Plastic Surgeons
Too late for plastic surgery? By Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD Q. I’m a Baby Boomer, advanced in my years (over 65) and contemplating a plastic surgery procedure. Is it too late for me to have surgery performed and will my recovery be more difficult than someone who is younger? A. We are asked this question frequently and the answer is no, you are not too old to have a procedure completed, predicated on the fact that you are in good physical health with no major medical conditions. The most important factor is that you are fit and engaged in a healthy lifestyle. It’s not uncommon for individuals your age to undergo plastic surgery pro- Dr. Wendell Smoot, Dr. Reza Sadrian, cedures, particularly as Baby Boomers in your Dr. Carol Hollan, Dr. John Smoot. age category are living longer, healthier lifestyles and often working far beyond the years of your predecessors. Provided you are in good physical health, the post-operative recovery time is no different than a similarly healthy patient who is years younger. A recent study by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery revealed that individual’s aged 65+ engaging in plastic surgery procedures is on the rise. In 1997, 115,709 individuals opted for plastic surgery procedures while in 2010, that number increased to
684,768. In our practice, we often suggest a face, neck, eye or brow lift in older patients to give them a competitive edge during the job search interview process. These procedures result in a more energetic, refreshed look that relates to how the individual feels internally. Accordingly, rejuvenating plastic surgery procedures can often increase the odds of landing a professional position where these job openings are often in direct competition with younger applicants. 65+ individuals still have many productive years ahead of them but are often judged by a “seasoned” appearance that may be the result of sun damage and/or stress. Another option would be to have a minimally invasive procedure that restores an overall youthful appearance in what we have named in our practice, a “Freshlift”. The objective of a Freshlift is to reveal more youthful contours and a younger, more alert appearance. When compared to a traditional facelift, the Freshlift involves less bruising and swelling and offers a shorter recovery time. Alternatively, another choice with no downtime that provides instant results is microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is a safe medical-grade, painless treatment, which produces smoother and softer skin from the very first treatment. Surface peels
are also beneficial in that these are light facial peels that treat the surface of the skin with little or no downtime. Laser treatments on the surface of the skin have also become popular as laser equipment advances allow for minute resurfacing to within a fraction of the skin surface and have little or no down time. We recommend a comprehensive consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for surgical procedures or a licensed esthetician for facial treatments prior to engaging in any of the above listed activities. John Smoot, MD, is Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla and Wendell Smoot, MD, has been voted by his peers as Top Doctor in San Diego for five consecutive years. Carol Hollan, MD, is San Diego’s first female board-certified plastic surgeon while Reza Sadrian, MD, is one of very few plastic surgeons dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. The four physicians have over 90 years of combined tenure in the industry and each is individually board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Any of the physicians can be reached at their office on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital by calling (858) 587-9850 or via the web at sandiegoplasticsurgeryclinic. com, sadriancosmeticsurgery.com or carolhollanmd.com.
Your Family Matters: Managing back-to-school blues BY DR. KEITH KANNER By the end of this week, most children and adolescents will be back to school. Although most parents took the appropriate measures to prepare them by talking about it and getting the needDr. Keith Kanner ed “back to school supplies,” nevertheless, going back to school after summertime represents a significant transition for most kids. Typically, the first month back after summer is when parents experience the most significant battles over homework, getting up in the morning, turning off those cell phones, and being generally cooperative. Such manifestations are due to the natural feelings that all children and adolescents experience when going back to school — a combination of frustration and perhaps some excitement about seeing their friends. The adult comparison would be going back to work after a vacation where there was an absence of business problems, meetings, and deadlines. Children truly appreciate when their parent can associate with their inner experiences without them having to express themselves in words. Remember the days when your child was an infant and as a caring and invested parent, you could determine what type of cry determined what particular feeling in them? This was all done without words. Just because a child develops the capacity to speak does not erase how important it is for parents to be able to “read” their child’s non-verbal cues to determine their mental state. In fact, as children develop and strive towards independence from their parents, they naturally speak less until they get through the adolescent years, but still rely on that caring parent to “know them.” Here, is where the continual investment of parenting comes into action — being able to let your child know that you know them and how they must feel. Even making the attempt to convey your perception is worth the chance that they may tell you are wrong, but at least you tried and there is a chance they might actually share what it is they are feeling. Putting this concept into place comes in handy over this next month. Most chil-
dren and teenagers will have some “normal” adjustment issues to going back to school which could manifest in a number of typical ways: a refusal to do homework; trouble getting up in the morning; irritability; acting out; and even some infrequent bed wetting, just to name a few. Each of these “symptoms” are just that, indicators that your child is experiencing some very strong feelings about going back to school. How a parent responds to this “regression” is very important. Perhaps the most common parental mistake is to just punish the behavior. There is a big difference between a feeling and a behavior. It is a matter of how feelings are handled and the role of any parent is to help their child learn how to better manage feelings, not feel bad about them. When parents merely punish a behavior, most children then generalize that the feeling was “bad” and then a development of guilt over feelings becomes a pathological pattern rather than the emphasis be placed on appropriate behaviors. So, if your child is having such a “regression” due to school resuming, talk to them about how they are feeling and work together with them to get through the initial “shock period” of getting back into school. Empathize, share how it was for you when you were a kid, and help them get their “job” accomplished by encouragement and some limits if necessary to “help” them manage, not punish them for feeling frustrated and perhaps saddened that vacation is over for awhile. Key Points: 1. Most kids will have some normal adjustment issues about going back to school 2. Help them by talking to them about how you think they must feel 3. Both emphasize and help them stay on track with rewards and limits 4. Punishing behavior by itself is limited in effectiveness 5. Regression typically weans over the first month back to school Dr. Keith Kanner is host/anchor - Your Family Matters - WSRADIO; author, board certified & licensed clinical child, adolescent, & adult psychologist & psychoanalyst; Assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine; National Board Member - KidsKorps USA; and a father of three great kids.
