Panelists ponder survival of Internet

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN CONTRIBUTOR Last week, UCSD was the scene of a wide-ranging discussion on the future of the Internet. Before a rapt audience of academics, students and technology industry leaders, visionaries demonstrated novel applications and described myriad new ways to interact with the Net, while research scientists laid out the formidable technical challenges ahead to satisfying ever-increasing demand as users become more dependent on the Internet to manage their daily lives.

Amid heady predictions came this cautionary note: “We are more dependent on electricity than on anything else,” said Vint Cerf, vice president and

chief Internet evangelist at Google.

A few hours later, a power outage left millions of people in San Diego County, Orange County, Arizona, and parts of Mexico without electricity.

“How Will the Internet Survive?” was the theme of the 2011 Marconi Society Symposium, held Sept. 8, at UCSD’s Calit2 (California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology). In a point/ counter-point dialogue, experts evoked a future in which Internet access, via mobile devices, allows us not only to auto navigate while driving, read e-books, and manage finances, but one day might monitor a refrigerator’s contents and suggest recipes for dinner, See INTERNET, page 26

Concerns raised over proposal to extend fair run

New trustee joins RSF School board

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER A R. Roger Rowe School graduate has joined the Rancho Santa Fe School District Board of Trustees. Tyler Seltzer was appointed to the board after a public interview session at the Sept. 12 special meeting. Six candidates applied for the spot left vacant after member Jim Cimino moved out of the district: Karen Buss, Lori Cooper, Robert Jaffe, Lorraine Kent and Heather Slosar.

Tyler Seltzer “I hope nobody walks away disappointed,” board member Jim Depolo said before Seltzer’s selection. “You’re all involved in the school today and we’re lucky to have you as parents and supporters in any position.”

Seltzer was sworn in by district superintendent Lindy Delaney and immediately took his seat at the board table.

“Right to work, I like it that way,” Seltzer said as he joined the board at the table.

Seltzer and his wife grew up in Rancho Santa Fe and moved their family of three children back to the area a yearand-a-half ago.

Seltzer’s background includes working for his family business, Seltzer Companies, a manufacturer and distributor of food and beverage ingredients. He spent 10 years with the company before it was sold in 2006. Selling the business allowed him the “freedom and flexibility” to spend more time with his children and pursue interests such as the school board position, he said.

BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Following a third consecutive year of record attendance in 2011, organizers of the San Diego County Fair are considering expanding the fair’s 22-day run by two days next year, but the proposal has drawn criticism from the fairgrounds’ neighbor to the south.

Del Mar Mayor Don Mosier spoke at the fair board’s meeting Tuesday, Sept 13, requesting that the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which owns and operates the fairgrounds, conduct a traffic study to demonstrate that adding additional fair days won’t cause more congestion on the area’s roads.

The Del Mar council discussed the issue at its meeting Monday and directed city staff to send a letter outlining its concerns to the fair board. Mosier delivered the letter Tuesday.

Mosier said the city is also concerned about the effectiveness of traffic control supervised by the fairgrounds, cleanup of dirt and debris on city streets during and after the fair, and whether expanding the fair’s schedule requires review under California environmental regulations.

Jim Benedict, a Del Mar resident, also addressed the fair board about the expansion proposal by fairgrounds General Manager Tim Fennell. Rather than vote on the issue Tuesday, Benedict said, “I hope you vote no and do not do it and give it some more thought.”

When he moved to Del Mar, Benedict said, the fair ran for 14 days. The fair has run for 22 days in June and July since 2004. “Really, where does the bleeding See FAIR, page 26

RSF parent reports ‘suspicious’ individual near school

Buzz: Be prepared for emergencies

BY RSF ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT JACK QUEEN Last Thursday, San Diego County suffered the worst power outage in the history of Cali- Jack Queen fornia and one of the worst ever to hit the country. The outage left 5 million people without power for over 12 hours.

They tell me it could have been a lot worse having the potential to impact a greater number of people for a much longer period of time.

Twelve hours was bad enough. The good news is that it serves as a wakeup call to be prepared for future emergencies. To a great extent, we all take for granted the many services that we receive and do not fully realize how dependent that we become on electronic devices. As for the service we receive, such as fire and security protection, once again our back up plans were tested and proved to be working

very well. On the larger scale, the County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was activated which brings on line all law enforcement, fire fighters and emergency personnel under one command for the entire County.

Locally, our Patrol working with the Sheriff Department takes over the needs of our community and works out of the North County Dispatch offices located in the Fire Station.

Our first action is to call in the off duty Patrol officers to make sure we have the resources available to address whatever issues might come up and to implement the orders given out by the EOC. The Patrol works all year long with local agencies on emergency drills to be prepared for any emergency.

Additionally, working with the Senior Center, the Patrol keeps a record of residents with special needs in our community including the nature of their special needs and who their caregivers are just in case of an emergency.

One of the main concerns is for members that rely on

some form of life support.

Due to the large scope of the power outage not only was all the power to the area off line but I think we all discovered that some cell phone coverage went down as well. Our children actually got to see firsthand what life was like before we all had cell phones and it was a little scary. This outage just brings to light (forgive the pun) the need for every family to have an emergency plan in place.

We tend to focus our attention on fire preparedness and overlook other emergencies such as earthquakes and general power outages.

As individual families, we need to be ready to take care of ourselves until services can be restored. We cannot rely on someone else to come to our aid because those resources may be overtaxed and addressing the needs of people in lifethreating situations. Go out and buy those extra batteries and emergency radio today and don’t put it off until after the next emergency.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

September 15, 2011

Q&A: RSF Association Manager Pete Smith discusses finances, the economy, broadband coverage and more turn. Our assessment that we charge our members, the homeowners’ dues, are based on property values. And it’s currently 14 cents per hundred dollars assessed valuation.

That works out to about $1,400 per $1 million in assessed valuation. So if you have a $2 million piece of property here, that’s $2,800 a year of your assessment, that’s the average throughout the community. So you can see that’s about $225 a month, so, as homeowners association assessments go, that’s really pretty reasonable. Especially for the bundle of goods that you get.

Right now what we’re seeing is a younger family is moving to Rancho Santa Fe, and that’s because the property values have dropped and the price range from $1 million to $2 million to a lot of people is affordable. Especially when you equate in the fact that schools and school districts right now are struggling financially and you can get into one of the best-rated schools in the state, the Rancho Santa Fe school is a public school. So you don’t have the annual tuition that you would at some of the private schools. Yet the caliber of education is every bit as good.

The other thing that we are facing with the economy is — just like a lot of homeowners associations — it impacts our collection efforts. Our delinquencies are up. As I’ve told the board, the bad news is our delinquencies are up 400 percent. The good news is overall they’re still under about one and a half percent, which, as you know from businesses, that’s virtually unheard of.

Q. Can you put some numbers to that? What are the outstanding delinquencies?

A. We have about 1,900 properties in the Covenant (the Association’s geographic boundaries). If they have not paid the assessment in a year we’ll suspend them and lien their property. Homeowners associations have the right to file a lien on property directly without going through the judicial process. And the thought is because it’s to the detriment of the entire community if people are not paying their bill. So the board in July passed authorization for (liens) for the 2010-2011 assessment that had not been paid, and there were 15 properties. So you could see 15 out of roughly 1,900 is pretty low.

The Rancho Santa Fe Review recently sat down with Pete Smith, manager of the Rancho Santa Fe Association, to discuss how the Association is doing in light of the economic downturn of the past several years and other issues facing the organization.

Smith, 59, has been with the Association for 20 years, the first five as golf club manager, and as manager since 1996. Before coming to the Association, Smith worked in fiPete Smith nance and banking. — Reported by Joe Tash Following is an edited version of the conversation.

Q. Can you tell us about the Association’s role and what it does?

A. Perhaps a lot of people don’t realize, it is a homeowners association. The Rancho Santa Fe Association is, we believe, the oldest still-operating homeowners association in the state. There may be some dispute because there were several of them being formed about the same time, but certainly within the top 10 of homeowners associations. That was back in (1927). Now today there are some 40,000, almost 50,000 homeowners associations throughout the state.

And we were set up originally to operate a lot like a city, that’s why we have a building department, a planning department; the thought was perhaps someday we would evolve into a city. And as you know from the history of Rancho Santa Fe, we’ve looked at it several times, but we never have made that step. The reason is, generally the membership feels that we get services we need directly from the county and we don’t have to deal with the additional burden of city expenses. And that historically has been the decision, and frankly, in light of today’s market, we see so many municipalities are just struggling to survive, it was probably the right thing to do.

Q. What are the key issues facing the Association currently?

A. Right now, I think in a nutshell, it really is the economy, and the impacts of the economy on virtually everything we do. Rancho Santa Fe is not immune to the down-

One of the things that’s happened that’s a little misleading in the numbers, when the economy first started turning down in 2008, we had a large influx of delinquencies. And those were the spec builders. The developer out here, the people that had leveraged their properties, as soon as the market turned they were upside down, they stopped paying.

Now what we’re looking at, unfortunately, the reason I say our issues are economic, we’re now getting into what I would call some of the core membership, people who have lived here a long time that have struggled through the early couple years of the downturn, they’ve tried to hang on but they’ve gotten to the point that for many of them they just can’t. So I would say what you see now is some of the delinquencies are more of a challenge just because... they’re losing their home. They’re people that you know losing their homes.

Q. Is this resulting in reduced revenue and, if so, have you had to make cuts?

A. Our assessment is based on property values. Last year, for the first time since we’ve kept records, property values overall in the Covenant area have actually dropped.

They dropped about 3.1 percent so what that means is our income dropped obviously by that 3.1 percent. For the current fiscal year, 2011-2012, we had originally budgeted that property values would stay flat. We don’t know what that number is until early September, when the county releases the property values. We just got that number and unfortunately, again, property values have dropped in the Covenant. They’ve dropped two and a half percent for the year, in a year-to-year comparison.

Q. So that’s the first time that’s happened?

A. Last year was the first time it ever went negative in at least 30 years. And the reason I say 30 years is we don’t keep records past that.

The other thing that happens when property values drop, you can go back to the county and have your properties reassessed, and the values dropped, and that is happening a great deal. We honor whatever value that the county recognizes. We’ve had some people drop as much as 20 perSee SMITH, page 24

Kehoe’s Interstate 5 bill heads to governor

Study predicts losses at Torrey Local marijuana cooperative Pines from rising sea levels closed for good; lawsuit settled

Sen. Christine Kehoe’s (D-San Diego) legislation requiring improved transit as part of the expansion of Interstate 5 in San Diego County received final approval Sept. 9 in the Legislature and now heads to Gov. Jerry Brown for consideration.

“This legislation helps ensure that those living and working within the North Coast Corridor will have viable and convenient transit options during the 40-year period that freeway improvements are underway,” said Kehoe.

SB 468 requires a minimum of two public hearings on the proposed project’s design and mitigation, and that the recently adopted $2.5 billion regional bike plan is used to better link bicycle and pedestrian trails to transit. SB 468 also requires that transit and highway improvements in the corridor be done concurrently, to limit damage to the six coastal lagoons.

Consistent with the bill, Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration recently announced that the preferred plan for

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Much of Torrey Pines beach and other coastal areas could be submerged by the year 2100 if ocean levels continue rising at current rates, according to a statecommissioned study released Sept. 13 by San Francisco State University.

If coastal-water levels rise by 4.6 feet by the end of the century — a projection specific to the California coast based on recent studies — the state and city land at Torrey Pines, which could be swamped and end up with narrower and eroded beaches. The study pegged the economic loss in the immediate area, which would due to a reduced

expanding I-5 between La Jolla Village Drive and Camp Pendleton would add four managed lanes to the existing eight lanes. One alternative considered by Caltrans called for adding six more lanes, which would have required taking up to 420 homes. Kehoe has long advocated that the I-5 expansion be limited to the existing right-of-way.

Under SB 468, the new lanes would accommodate carpools, buses and specially designated clean air vehicles. It also allows the collection of tolls, similar to the system used on I-15, with the estimated $1 million to $3 million generated annually to be used only for transit improvements within the corridor.

The 27-mile, $3.5 billion project is funded by federal, state, and local TransNet funds, San Diego County’s voter-approved ½-cent sales tax dedicated to transportation. To learn more about the project, which is planned to begin in 2013, visit www.keepsandiegomoving.com.

BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Del Mar’s first and only medical marijuana cooperative has closed for good under a lawsuit settlement approved unanimously Monday by the City Council during a closed session meeting with attorneys.

The settlement was announced by City Attorney Leslie Devaney after the council returned to open session. It calls for Patrick Kennedy, the operator of the 1105 Cooperative, to pay $10,000 to the city by Friday, and bars him from opening a medical marijuana dispensary in the city for seven years. If the terms of the settlement are violated, Devaney said, Kennedy would owe the city $62,350.

Bob Mahlowitz, an attorney who represented the city in its lawsuit against the cooperative, said the larger figure represents cumulative fines levied against the cooperative for operating without a business license and violating city zoning laws.

Attorney Jessica McElfresh, who represents Kennedy and the cooperative, said her client has agreed to the settlement.

The cooperative opened April 1 at 1105 Camino Del Mar, and the city immediately notified Kennedy through a hand-delivered letter that his business license had been revoked, and that the city’s zoning laws do not allow marijuana dispensaries anywhere within Del Mar. Kennedy remained open in defiance of the city’s attempts to close the cooperative until July, when the city filed its lawsuit and a judge issued a temporary injunction ordering the cooperative to cease operations. Although Kennedy said in July that he planned to fight in court to reopen the cooperative, the storefront has since been vacated. Kennedy could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

“If everything goes according to plan it should be finally resolved,” Mahlowitz said of the lawsuit.

Jack Mullins died peacefully at his home in Rancho Santa Fe, in the early morning hours of Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011, after a brief illness following a fall. At his death, Jack was cared for by Hospice by the Sea, and surrounded by family and friends.

Jack Mullins Frederic John Mullins was born in Salem, Ohio, on June 1, 1918, to Arthur and Marguerite Barckhoff Mullins. Jack was the middle of three children. Older sister Marianne pre-deceased him. His younger sister Priscilla (Sidi) currently lives in the Los Angeles area, near her children.

Jack developed his signature qualities of integrity and diligence while still a boy. He worked from elementary school onwards: shining shoes, shoveling coal into neighbors’ furnaces before school, and sweeping the tennis courts and caddying at the local country club. Jack attended Salem High School, Class of 1935. He was a “three-letter man”: football, basketball, and track.

Jack was recruited by the University of Chicago, which offered the 5’9” athlete a basketball scholarship. He majored in business, and also worked full-time as a night reservation agent for American Airlines.

Jack was offered a daytime supervisory position, and left college after three years. He retired from American Airlines in 1972, as company Vice Chairman.

During his career, Jack managed operations at various airports (Washington, D.C., Detroit), and opened the American Airlines route to Mexico City, where the family lived for seven years. He was Director of Operations for the Southwest Region, based in Los Angeles, and including San Diego’s Lindbergh Field. In 1960, Jack became Director of Marketing, based in the New York City headquarters, retiring as Vice Chairman.

Jack and Jane moved to San Diego in the early 1980s, initially to Coronado. They bought land in Rancho Santa Fe and, soon thereafter, began to design their house. Jim

Lippitt, a young contractor, did the construction. Jack was tremendously impressed with Jim’s work, and the two of them partnered in building houses in this part of the County for the next 30 years, until the end of Jack’s life.

Jack’s Rancho Santa Fe involvements were numerous, including Los Ancianos, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Fire District Board, to which he won election for several terms. He was part of PIC, a local public interest group. He and Jane were among the original members of the “Pickwits,” a group of 12 couples who met monthly. A different member every month made a presentation on a topic of his or her interest.

Jack was vibrant and active. Until his late 80s, he skied black diamond runs in Park City, Utah. He loved his three-times-aweek golf games. On non-golfing days, he walked 3 miles.

Jack is survived by his beloved wife of 70 years, Jane Anderson Mullins; his daughter Judy Anderson Mullins and spouse Morgan Stewart of Woodside, California; daughter-in-law Leslee Mullins of Encinitas; three grandchildren: Mary Jane Mullins of Encinitas, Amanda Troche and spouse Ray Troche of New Haven, Connecticut, and Jason Mullins, now a sophomore at San Jose State University; and one great-grandchild: Shyla Mullins, 7 months, Mary Jane’s daughter.

Also surviving Jack is his sister Pricilla (Sidi) Keitel. Jack also leaves more than 30 loving nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his many dear friends.

Jack was pre-deceased by his son, David Arthur Mullins, who died of cancer in 1995 while on active duty in the U.S. Navy.

Jack Mullins was a loyal and generous man, unassuming despite his many successes, straightforward, and kind. He was a complete gentleman, who will be missed so much by so many.

A memorial gathering will be held at a later date.

RSF Education Foundation contribution campaign is celebrated with Red Envelope Friday Sept. 30 The annual contribution campaign for the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation is celebrated with Red Envelope Friday on Sept. 30 (drop off & pick up locations at R. Roger Rowe School; 7:45 a.m. – 8:05 a.m. and 2 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.). On Red Envelope Friday, community businesses, residents and parents of students at Rancho Santa Fe School are strongly encouraged to make their Education Foundation contributions in order to maintain the Five-Star Education programs for the year.

Rancho Santa Fe School’s Five-Star Education This year the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation has committed to raising $1,000,000 to fulfill our grant to the school to support the budget of the Rancho Santa Fe School, which allows for an enriched public education experience that is among the best in the country with small class sizes averaging 18, specialized teachers (61 percent of teachers have advanced degrees), a literacy excellence program from Columbia University for reading and writing, integrated science and differentiated math programs.

Fair Share $1,497 per child Every child benefits from the Five-Star Education program, but it takes the support of all parents to maintain the effort. Parents are asked to contribute to the best of their ability, keeping in mind that the “Fair Share” cost per child is $1,497 ($1 million divided by 668 students). Families that con-

tribute at the higher Cap & Gown and Scholar’s Circle levels receive special recognition.

Red Envelope Friday, Sept. 30 – Participation Counts!

It is strongly encouraged that everyone contribute, or pledge to contribute, on or before Red Envelope Friday. 100 percent participation among school families is necessary to maintain this world-class education in the current climate of cuts to state and local education funding, and encourages community and corporate donations. On Sept.

30, Red Envelope Friday, volunteers will be at drop off and pick up collecting pledge forms and contributions. Also, parents will notice red boxes at the office and around campus where they can drop their contributions.

Contribution Recognition All contributions are tax-deductible, receive car window stickers and a student directory. As well, the first “Thank you contributing families, teachers, staff and community partners” list will be published and distributed to all families shortly after Red Envelope Friday, recognizing all those who have contributed. Those who have made pledges will be acknowledged when their pledges are paid in full.

“What is the difference?” The answer is the Education Foundation’s tagline, “The difference is YOU.” For more information about Red Envelope Friday or to make a contribution, contact the RSF Education Foundation at (858) 756-1141 x208.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Gary and Erin Lewis

Profile

RSF couple adds to their version of the ‘American Dream’ by producing musicals year-round for San Diego audiences

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor Gary and Erin Lewis never dreamed they would be doing what they are doing today, but, in fact, they’re living their version of the American Dream.

In college, Gary joked with his counselor that he might become a Tupperware distributor like his parents, but, with his talent for math, he thought he’d best apply himself to becoming a chartered public accountant and joining a top accountancy firm, which, as it turned out, he did — for awhile.

And, Erin, whose parents, Fon and Audrie Johnson, ran a kennel and trained police dogs, figured she would become a legal secretary, which she also did — for awhile.

But then, they met, at a dog show, married and their plans not only changed, but merged.

Erin, left her secretarial job, to become, yes, you guessed it, a Tupperware distributor, selling up a storm, and Gary, gave up his job as a CPA at Peat Marwick & Mitchell to help manage the administrative side of their growing Tupperware distributorship.

That was 38 years ago.

These days, the Lewises, now in their early 60s, live in a luxury 7,200-square-foot home (7,255 sq. ft., to be accurate, and Gary is) they bought as it was being constructed 11 years ago on one acre in Rancho Santa Fe. “That’s what this house is all about,” Gary

Quick Facts Name: Gary and Erin Lewis Distinction: Gary and Erin Lewis are the founders and executive directors of San Diego Musical Theatre, a nonprofit professional award-winning theatre company, now about to launch its third full season on Sept. 23 with Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice’s hit “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat” at Horton Plaza’s Lyceum Theatre.

Residents of: Rancho Santa Fe Born: Gary: Los Angeles, raised in San Diego Erin: Born and raised in San Diego Education: Gary: B.S. in business administration with emphasis in mathematics, San Diego State University, 1972.

Erin: United States International University Cal Western (now Point Loma Nazarene University) where studied music and English, but left without a degree to attend a business school to become a legal secretary.

Family: Married 39 years. One daughter, Jill, a musical theater performer who lives in New York City with her musical theater performer husband Robert Townsend.

The couple recently completed a national tour with “Camelot.”

Pet: Roxy, a Doberman.

Favorite TV: Gary: CSI shows and “anything with whales and sharks.”

Erin: “Modern Family,” “Amazing Race,” and “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Philosophy: Gary: Connects with the Edgar A. Guest inspirational poem “It Couldn’t Be Done…and he did it.”

Erin: “You have to work for what you get…and it’s all about people for me and how we treat people is really important.”

said. “Tupperware.”

“Made of plastic and we burp the doors” Erin quipped.

You mean, we had to ask, you were able to buy this house with proceeds made by selling plastic food-storage containers with airtight “burping seals” at home Tupperware parties?

“You betcha,” Erin confirmed. “We like to say: ‘This is the house that Tupperware built.’”

The Lewises continue to run their Tupperware business out of their office in Kearny Mesa as “legacy executive directors” in charge of a sales team of 600, but in 2006 they added a new element to their dream scenario.

They founded the San Diego Musical Theatre (SDMT), the now awardwinning nonprofit theater company that produces contemporary and classic musicals year-round and provides employment for professional actors, directors, choreographers, musicians and technicians.

SDMT is about to launch its third full season with the production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical hit “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat” Sept.

23 through Oct. 9 at the Lyceum Theatre in downtown San Diego’s Horton Plaza.

Asked what prompted them to take on the daunting challenge of producing hit musicals --- often requiring large casts and expensive sets — in San Diego?

“Blame it on our daughter, Jill, who started in musical theater when she was 11,” Erin laughed.

As a parent of a child involved in theatre, Erin, soon found herself driving her daughter to rehearsals, sitting through rehearsals and getting involved as a volunteer and “angel” (a person who contributes money and/or services to a theater company) with the companies putting on the shows.

Erin even tried her

hand at performing with her daughter in the Moonlight Theatre’s production of “The Sound of Music.”

“I played a nun,” she said sheepishly.

“And then as Jill got older, Gary, too, got involved, painting sets, working on crew … and doing sound design for them.”

Their daughter continued performing in musicals in Los Angeles while attending UC Irvine; and Gary and Erin continued to be involved.

“We just loved the whole atmosphere of it,” Erin said. “And we thought for a number of years we might like to somehow bring musicals to San Diego and we thought with our business background maybe we could make it happen.”

When Tupperware changed its method of product delivery and distribution, Gary found he had more free time to look into the idea.

“The thing we felt that was missing in San Diego was a year-round, professional, nonprofit musical theater,” they said. “We

thought, well, we’ll try it and see if there’s a place for us.”

In 2007, the Lewises produced their first show, the regional premiere of “The Full Monty” at the North Park Theatre. The show won the San Diego Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Musical Direction for director Don LeMaster The fledgling company followed up with its first full season productions of “Guys and Dolls,” “Bye Bye Birdie” and “Dreamgirls,” which won a Critics Circle Award for outstanding musical for the year and garnered a Patté Award for best male performer (Tonex). Season Two then came on strong with another trifecta: “Smokey Joe’s Café,” “The Story of My Life” and “Chorus Line.”

Season Three will kick off later this month with “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” to be followed by “The Marvelous Wonderettes” and “Rent.”

“As a nonprofit,” Erin said, “we at least wanted to break even and we’re really

close to that. We’re getting to the point now that if we just had a couple of nicesize donors, we could make it happen as far as breaking even.”

As a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, donations are tax deductible.

The only ones who get paid are the actors, directors, choreographers, musicians and technicians.

“All the rest of us are volunteers,” Erin said.

The Lewises run the theater company from their Tupperware office in Kearny Mesa.

“In general,” Gary said, “ticket sales cover up 60 percent of the costs of a production. We have to supplement the difference with donations from corporations and individuals.”

Each production, costs “anywhere from $150,000 and $175,000,” he added.

Because SDMT doesn’t own a theater, yet, it has to rent theater space which adds to the cost of each show. This season’s productions are all being staged at the Lyceum Theatre.

“Our big goal,” Erin said, “is to build a theatre here on the coast, in the Carmel Valley/Encinitas area, where it could be the home of San Diego Musical Theatre and we could run it. There are a lot of orphan theatre companies that don’t have a place and are bouncing around from theater to theater. They could rent it, as well, at a nonprofit, nice rate for music, dance and community events.

“We’re looking for donors to make that dream a reality,” Erin said.

Also, as part of their outreach mission to introduce children to musical theatre, the company provides free special show admissions to youngsters who are members of Boys and Girls Clubs from military bases.

SDMT show schedules, tickets, volunteer and donor information are available at the company’s Website: www.sdmt.org

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local facility helps give big cats a second chance Support puts the ‘bears’ in Lions Tigers and Bears

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer What do North County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, Rancho Santa Fe resident Gwendolyn Meyer, and local residents Becky Zebolt and Janet Wanerka — among many others — have in common?

They are loyal supporters of Lions Tigers and Bears, a 94-acre facility located just east of San Diego that has become a lifelong home to a number of displaced or neglected bears and exotic cats.

And as more and more San Diegans become familiar with and support the cause, founder Bobbi Brink hopes to turn the sanctuary into much more.

“They give animals born in captivity a chance to live when they otherwise might be killed or abused,” said Meyer. “They really know what they are doing and they genuinely care about the animals.”

The Japatul Valley facility houses 13 big cats: four Bengal Tigers, one leopard, one Africal serval, three bobcats, a mountain lion and three African lions. Under construction is a three-acre bear habitat, which will house three black bears, two of which were rescued only

Bobby Brink and Liberty, one of three black bears at Lions Tigers and Bears. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN weeks ago from a small, non-licensed zoo in Oklahoma that could no longer afford to feed its animals.

Brink is nursing one of the bears back to health, and counting the days until the completion of the bear habitat, which will have trees, structures, a waterfall and a pond stocked with trout and bass.

Brink is a life-long animal lover who has worked with big cats since 1992.

One would think the facility founder — who runs the sanctuary as a volunteer, not getting a salary or keeping a dime of proceeds — has spent years with the bears already. As she approached one of the bears, Liberty, on a recent Saturday, it greeted her warmly and nuzzled her through the cage. She kneeled beside the cage of another bear, Delilah, who had been moved to the shade as her health was be-

ing tended to.

“We’ve seen a lot of improvements,” said Brink of the bear, who was on her way to being hunted at a “big game” ranch had she not been rescued. “If this bear makes it, that’s my paycheck.”

Brink enjoyed a site visit two weeks ago by Del Mar resident Slater-Price and members of the supervisor’s staff, who wanted to see the results of the office’s financial support. The supervisor recently got board approval to dedicate more than $23,000 of the neighborhood reinvestment fund to Lions Tigers and Bears, specifically for the purpose of building a bear habitat, which would not have been made a reality without that monetary help, Brink said.

John Weil, Slater-Price’s chief of staff, said the purpose of grants from the neighborhood reinvestment

fund is to reinvest residents’ tax dollars back into the community to improve the quality of life.

“Slater-Price is known for supporting animal causes,” Weil said.

San Diego Gas & Electric and Seal Electric are also major supporters of the $368,000 bear habitat.

Lions Tigers and Bears got its name long before it was able to house bears.

“My father-in-law used to always tell us to watch out for lions, tigers and bears when we would go camping,” Brink said. “He was dying when we were getting our permits to start the place, and we named it

that in his honor.”

Supporters like Wanerka are excited that the facility can now house rescued bears.

“It’s lived up to it’s name,” she said of the sanctuary, which is the only federal- and state-licensed facility in San Diego County.

In addition to being a rescue facility, Brink has plans to expand the educational aspect of Lions, Tiger and Bears. Currently, ranch animals at Lions Tigers and Bears (cows, donkeys, sheep, pigs, etc.) are part of an “Animal Encounters” educational exhibit and hand-on lesson about the humane treatment of ani-

mals.

She also hopes to add a rehabilitation enclosure, where wild animals can go to be rehabilitated without human contact. A live camera would allow guests to observe those animals.

Guests of Lions Tigers and Bears can visit and tour the facility, and can even get up close and feed the big cats through the cage. Educational and group visits are available and can be scheduled by calling (619) 659-8078.

After a very enthusiastic fundraiser last year, the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club will once again host its Harvest Dinner with a “Fresh from the Farm” theme. Last year’s party won rave reviews with members and was a huge success on many levels. This year’s Harvest Dinner promises to be the same, and will be held Saturday, Sept. 24, at the RSF Garden Club.

The club will provide the main entree – a selection of roast beef and fish. Each couple is asked to bring a salad, vegetable or dessert to share at the main Harvest Table.

Members are encouraged to bring their own wine, beer or other beverages. Coffee will be provided.

The Working Cowboy Band, which has performed at the RSF Golf Club and the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, will be performing cool country hits. Jack and Patty Queen have generously donated a 52 Allis Chalmers tractor and hay wagon for auction. A vintage and classic farm implement, it will be the centerpiece in the garden on the night of the event.

Tickets are $50 per person for members or guests. Please send your checks to PO Box 483, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067. Call Mary Pierson at 858-759-5011 for any questions. See the full invitation and register at www.rsfharvestdinner.com. Space is limited, please reserve now.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Parent contributions at Ranch School critical to offset economic downturn Students at the R. Roger Rowe School returned to average class sizes of 18 students and an overall teacher to student ratio of 1:11, despite the state of education funding in California and across the country. This is largely due to the generosity of the RSF Education Foundation, which has pledged $1 million for the second year in a row to maintain the world-class level of education. The Foundation is primarily run by parent volunteers and as a single school district all funds go to the Rowe School.

“Over 96 percent of funds raised by the Foundation go directly to the classroom, the kids and the school,” noted Foundation Chairman Bill Gaylord.

The grant from the Foundation helps fund the RSF Education Foundation’s “Five-Star Education” Program. The 2011/2012 program includes: •Small Class Size – average class size of 18; •Specialized Teachers – 61 percent have advanced or specialized degrees; •Literacy Excellence – an affiliate school accepted as part of the Columbia University/Teacher’s College Reading & Writing Project; •Integrated Science – integrates traditional & innovative science education techniques; •Differentiated Mathematics – individualized to meet the needs of all students.

Parents this year are being asked to contribute their fair share of $1,497 for each child. “Last year we had record high participation of 85 percent, and this year we hope that all parents will make it a priority to contribute to the best of their ability,” said Gaylord. The Foundation requests that all families contribute or pledge by Friday, Sept. 30 – Red Envelope Day. How do the students at the Ranch School benefit from their parents’ and the community’s generosity?

•With the Foundation – 18 students per class; without 32 students per class;

•With the Foundation – teachers with specialized degrees teaching math, music, art, athletics, science, Spanish, drama & technology; without – general teachers or parent volunteers teaching math, music, art, athletics, science, Spanish, drama & technology; •With the Foundation – math being taught in groups of 10 students; without – math being taught in groups of 32 students; •With the Foundation – science being taught using Labs, Robotics & Computers; without – science being taught with only standard text books..

Because of the grant from the Foundation the school uses specialized Literacy Support teachers who further reduce class size to a 10:1 student to teacher ratio during the literacy block.

Schools throughout the state are faced with class sizes of 30-40+ students and few specialized teachers. “Studentteacher ratios, that’s why we’re here,” commented Molly Wohlford whose family moved here from Valley Center last year. One employee at the school whose kids go to school in Poway said her children are in a class with more than 40 students.

Despite the appearance, Rancho Santa Fe has been impacted by the economic downturn. “We are not immune to the economic situation and the funding gaps are getting bigger,” commented superintendent Lindy Delaney. “We have seen an operating budget decline from $10.6 million to $9.1 million in the last three years alone creating a huge gap for us.”

Rancho Santa Fe is a basic aid district which means it receives revenue primarily from property taxes. “In years past we counted on 6-8 percent increases every year,” she said. “In the last three years there has been a consistent downfall in property taxes. People have been selling and reassessing their homes at lower values.” Last year the school lost $400,000 in property tax income; this year the anticipated loss is an additional $38,000 - $146,000.

Federal funds account for around 1 percent of the school budget; historically these funds were 4 percent of the budget. Last year the school received $636,304 from the state and had to return $257,651 in response to the state budget crisis and to help alleviate the burden on Revenue

Limit School districts that receive the majority of their funding from the State. “This year we are anticipating little or no money from the state,” said Superintendent Delaney.

“The cumulative loss is staggering.”

The school has down-sized non-essential classroom personnel and tightened supplies in order to maintain strong classroom instruction and increase programs that provide students with 21st century skills. “It is a district goal to have 100 percent of all students score proficient or advanced on the California Standards Tests. But it’s not just about test scores. It’s about creating and developing students that can be creative and be responsible citizens in the digital landscape,” said assistant superintendent Cindy Schaub. To meet these goals the district requires funds beyond property tax revenues.

The grant from the Education Foundation is critical.

Many families contribute at higher levels than the Fair Share that the Foundation requests per student. This year the Cap and Gown level is $2,000 per student. The Foundation also relies heavily on the philanthropic contributions of the Scholar’s Circle. This group comprises 20 percent of the school’s families and local businesses who make multi-year commitments that fund 50 percent of the total grant to the school. “The multi-year pledges from these families and community partners allow Superintendent Delaney to budget and provide a foundation for stability for the school,” remarked Bill Gaylord. “We are grateful to these families and businesses for their generosity.”

“Contributing to the Education Foundation used to be a nice thing to do,” said Foundation Marketing Chair Leslie DeGoler. “That’s not the case anymore. It’s now a necessity for all families.”

To maintain our small class sizes, specialized teachers and the other cornerstones of our Five Star Education Program, the Foundation must solicit and count on the help of all school parents. The difference is you. For more information please contact the Education Foundation at 858-756-1141 x208. Please do as much as you can.

Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate: Chasing the Market

In my last article, “Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate: Discounting Original Listing Price”, outbreak of the banking crisis in 2007. In this article, I take a deeper dive to examine analysis as all attached and detached residential properties listed with the San Diego M As I mentioned before, this percentage discount is a common and important statistic in r that list price changed after assessing the market’s reaction to that price. The most com This downward price adjustment is called the percentage discount from the original list To exhibit this dynamic of price discounting in Rancho Santa Fe, I took all properties t eventually taken off the market. I broke these properties into three original list price su Once I had the properties segmented, I calculated the average discount from original l Leaders and Followers

Magnificent Italian estate. Gated and very private, with a long driveway flanked by tall mature whispering landscape. Situated on 1.66 acres, this property features a spectacular custom designed and built main house, separate staff quarters, detached guest house, expansive lawns, flower and rose gardens, raised bed vegetable garden, fountains, pool and spa.

Offered at $5,795,000

For example, Chart A shows the average percentage discount of sold properties by m for the three sub-markets. In this chart, the percentage discount represents the p difference between the original list price and the last list price, prior to negotiating a Clearly, on average, the longer a property is on the market the greater it is discounted. P that sold within 0 and 90 days of being listed had an average discount rate of less Those that sold between 91 and 180 days start to creep above the 5% mark; th 10% for those that sold between 181 and 270 days, etc. There appears to be a clea correlation between average discount rate and the market time of sold properties; how is only true in a declining market. Had property values been increasing during this tim there would have been an inverse correlation between average discount rate and ma Chart A exhibits the effect of chasing a market down or pricing risk in a declining marke Creating the Deal

RSF-Del Mar Country Club $9,950,000

RSF-The Covenant $6,995,000

Going one step further, Chart B plots the same sold properties as Chart A, but instead of c the average percentage discount from original list price to last list price, it calculate percentage discount from original list price to the final sold price. As expected, the averag rate incrementally increases due to buyer/seller negotiations, but surprisingly not prop market time, as it did in Chart A. Actually, this additional discount is proportional to the p property, rather than market time. On average, properties with an original list price of $3 million incurred an additional 6% discount during sales negotiations. Those between and $5 million incurred, on average, 9%. And lastly, those over $5 million incurred, on an additional 12% price reduction. Sales negotiation discounting, consequently, is indep market time, but not property value since pricing uncertainty increases with price. Ne are recognizing that market time (or market decline) has already been generally d as shown in Chart A, yet value still remains out of alignment with the market. This in discount is correcting for that remaining misalignment; negative in a declining market, positive in an appreciating market.

RSF-The Covenant $6,495,000

RSF- The Bridges $5,995,000

Lastly, Chart C shows the discount from original list price to last list price for all those p that were listed for sale, but were instead taken off the market by the seller. Just as Chart A with the sold properties, average discount rate increases with time on marke as fast or as significantly as the sold properties. It is not until 271 – 360 days that th non-sold property discount rate exceeds the 5% mark, compared to 91 – 180 days fo properties. Also, maximum discounts never exceed 25% for non-sold properties, com some levels above 35%, 40%, and 45% for sold properties. This discrepancy betwee and Chart C represents sellers’ willingness to accept prevailing market values, sometim seller motivation. Both sold and non-sold sellers had to adjust price with market time for a declining market; however, non-sold sellers simply were not willing to “catch up declining values.

We’re bringing back a Drop-in Volleyball night, Ladies Who Lunch and a walking group while starting an adult intro to standup paddle boarding class, an ElliptiGO demo day in the Ranch, and the first of our tech classes with an Excel functionality class.

We even had an amazing turnout for our first Jazzercise class here in the gym last Friday. What activities have we been missing in our community? Add your voice to the conversation, and let’s see what we come up with.

Newcomers Club brings back a strong tradition of friendship and welcome Long-time RSFCC board member John Hansch is leading our Newcomers Club efforts with numerous realtors in the local community stepping up to join the group help welcome those who are new to our great neigh-

Rancho Santa Fe Review

SMITH continued from page 8 cent.

Q. Have you had to make any cuts? Reduce staff?

A. We’ve done exactly that. Last year, we had one of our planners leave and we didn’t replace him. The other thing, the managers and above, nobody received any pay increases.

Used to be we’d give health benefits to all full-time employees of the Association.

Generally, with new employees we don’t offer health care anymore.

That’s case-by-case. If you’re going to hire a position where it’s customary in the industry, we still have to be competitive with our package, we will do that. So we’ve cut back along those lines and we’ve also cut back on some of the discretionary things.

The good news for the Association is our legal litigation expenses are way down. We just have not had a lot of expenses. In the last 10 years, we’ve had years where… our expenses have been $400,000 or $500,000 a year. Last year, they were somewhere around $125,000. So, that’s down a great deal.

One thing that gives us some flexibility that the average homeowners association doesn’t have, is, I mentioned we did that 14 cents, 14 cents per hundred of assessment. Right now, we allocate 11 cents of that into our general services, which is our normal operating (costs) — that’s the road crew, the patrol, administrative staff, all that.

Three cents goes into an open space fund to buy potential open space purchases. What the board has done historically when the cash flow gets tight, they’ll change that allocation.

They’ll move some of the allocation from open space into general services. And the goal is obviously is we don’t ever want to be in a position to have to increase peoples’ assessment.

Back in 04-05 we actually dropped our overall assessment two percent, from 16 to 14. Thirty years ago we were at 22 cents.

Q. How many employees do you have?

A. The Association has about 135 employees, including the golf club. The biggest one’s the golf club, they’ve got about 90 employees. You have the park and rec. crews, they’ve got a dozen, the patrol has got another 10, 11, right in there. The Association administration staff, our

planners, Art Jury process, me, our accounting people, they’re about another dozen. But clearly the largest number is the golf club.

They’re the golf pros, the waiters, the chefs, the busboys, their maintenance crew as you can imagine is about 20 people. Then we have employees at the Osuna Ranch, which we own.

A couple of employees at the tennis club, so we do have some other scattered employees. That’s kind of the mix.

Q. You survey Association members every 10 years on long-range planning issues. The most recent survey results were released in April. What were the key issues that came up?

A. The board takes those surveys very seriously and they try to implement all the recommendations that come back, the majority of the recommendations from the members. The one thing, the number one thing that came out of that was broadband coverage.

The community is concerned… with inadequate broadband coverage. To that end we have a committee that has specifically been formed to look at that issue and they have started that process.

Q. And what kind of things can the Association do?

A. The problem is because of the topography here, the different servers out here in this area, there is no one solution that’s going to fit the whole Covenant. My suspicion is it’s going to be a lot of different areas to address.

Whether it’s AT&T U-verse in one area and it’s cable in another… can you get service through satellite access, what is the best way to get it to people? And what the committee’s doing right now is they’re meeting with providers out here, they’re meeting with some of the companies that have looked at providing more of a global coverage out here, and the hope is to come back with some kind of recommendation and solution that’s going to work for people.

Q. Is it strictly finding an outside vendor to do it or is there the possibility that the Association itself could be involved in providing infrastructure, laying cable, or putting up relay stations?

A. At least in my opinion, from what we’ve seen so far, the right provider, it doesn’t exist because you can’t justify it economically, without some support.

And that’s been the story of Rancho Santa Fe forever.

Because the homes are so far apart, and the topography is such, the economies of scale to try to provide coverage… they look at it and go, oh, it doesn’t work.

So part of our review when we get into this, we’ll say okay, what does it take to get it in here. And frankly, it becomes difficult to say who’s going to pay for it.

Because if the Association pays for it, we represent all homeowners here, and some of them will come back and say, hey wait a minute, why are you using part of my dues to pay for a system that I had to personally pay for to bring to my house? That’s inequitable.

Q. What about concerns with traffic and roads?

A. One of the issues, from my perspective, where we have a real problem out here, is road conditions. And that is a direct result of economics as well.

Funds to do roads out here come from the state. And the state is in terrible shape. So they’ve cut back the money they’ve sent.

But at the same time, if you drive around the roads here, they’re horrible. I do a lot of bike riding throughout the county, and frankly, I think Rancho Santa Fe may have some of the worst roads in the county, which surprises me, because just the base and the awareness here.

Q. What else came in the survey results?

A. One of the ques-

TRUSTEE continued from page 1 All six candidates were asked the same five questions during the interview session.

Two of the questions involved hypothetical situations that asked what the candidate would do if a neighbor and good friend came to the board member wanting to vent about school issues.

Seltzer said he would certainly listen to the parent’s concern but would not discuss the issue and encourage them to go to the teacher, principal or superintendent.

“I would indicate to them that ‘I appreciate you coming to me and I want to talk but because of the position I’m in now, I can’t give you an answer, positive or negative,’” said Seltzer.

One question asked

tions is generally, how do you feel the Association is performing? Their general overall perception of what the level of service is perceived to be, and 86 percent of the people who responded said it was just right. Not enough was 10 percent and too much was 4 percent. So the board looks at that and thinks okay, we’re doing pretty good. Let’s focus in on maintaining what we have as opposed to trying to expand things.

Q. What about business development in the village? Any areas the Association is concerned about, or issues it plans to address?

A. We’re back to the economy. The economy has hurt the village. You can walk through and see the vacancies in some of the retail, as well as second-story space and things like that.

What the community has always liked in the village is retail businesses that support the community.

The coffee shops, the bookstores, the cleaners, those type of retail operations.

As you know there’s just a proliferation of banks and real estate. When economics come into play, that’s who can afford the rent.

The retail can’t. And so we’ve looked at ways over time, how can we help those retail businesses survive and thrive in the community? And it’s a tough one. Economics are working against them.

One of the challenges in the village, it’s a perwhat the candidates would like to see changed at the school or district. Candidate Cooper mentioned keeping curriculum consistent and Slosar said she would like to work on retaining students through middle school instead of seeing families depart for private school.

“As far as I know this is a tremendous place with amazing things happening.

Rather than being agents of change we should be stewards of something moving in a positive direction,” Seltzer said.

Whether it is music, language arts or more technology, Seltzer said their job as board members is to make sure students continue to be exposed to the best offerings possible.

Seltzer indicated that it was his hope to officially run for the seat when the term expires in November 2012.

ceived challenge, has always been parking… and how do you fix the parking in the village? And the problem, depending on what perspective you have, the problem differs. If you’re a cleaners or a coffee shop, one-hour parking’s great for you. If you’re a restaurant, you need two- or three-hour parking. Some of the real estate folks like all-day parking because their clients come and they go out looking at houses. They’re gone for long periods of time. So it’s hard to find a solution… who do you help without hurting somebody else?

Q. Any final thoughts?

A. I think the good news is, probably the biggest story again is the economy. And the answer to that is we’re doing well.

The Association is getting through just fine. The golf club is doing well, considering the environment.

You look at other clubs and they’re struggling.

Ours has had to cut back too, but their cash flow is positive, and they’re not having to cut a significant level of service, so it’s good. Revenues are good.

Crime here, knock on wood… has been flat to down for the last five to six years overall, it’s surprising, back to the economy, that’s usually when you have a tick up.

STUDY continued from page 4 press release. ``More than 80 percent of Californians live in coastal communities, and California’s beaches support local economies and critical natural species.’’

The study also cited the possibility of economic losses up to $440 million at Venice Beach and about $500 million by the end of the century at Malibu. “Sea level rise will send reverberations throughout local and state economies,” King said.

“We also found that the economic risks and responses to a changing coastline will vary greatly over time and from beach to beach.”

The study, which also looked at Carpinteria in Santa Barbara County and Ocean Beach in San Francisco was paid for by the Department of Boating and Waterways, aimed at assessing the effects of rising sea levels on beach erosion and loss of habitat.

This year the fair ran from June 10 through July 4, and was closed on Mondays. A total of 1.412 million people attended this year, up from 1.338 million in 2010.

“The fair is so popular the attendance is growing.

There seems to be a demand from the people of San Diego to come to the fair,” Fennell said.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the fair board approved a theme of space exploration for next year’s fair.

“We think this theme will go far with the educational aspect, the fun aspect and the entertainment aspect,” Fennell said.

“There’s got to be a lot of connections for San Diego County, science and

space,” said board president Adam Day. The fair board meeting on Tuesday also provided an occasion to bid farewell to two former board members, Kelly Burt and Barry Nussbaum, who were dismissed

by Gov. Jerry Brown in June.

In all, Brown has dismissed five members of the ninemember board.

Last month, Brown appointed five new members: Lisa Barkett, 52, of La Jolla; Tom Chino, 62, of Del Mar; David Lizerbram, 35, of Rancho Santa Fe; Frederick Schenk, 57, of Carmel Valley; and David Watson, 54, of Chula Vista.

As the meeting began, Day congratulated the new members and welcomed them to the panel.

Earth Song Books to close end of October

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer Earth Song Books & Gifts, which has been part of the Del Mar community for more than 40 years, will close its doors at the end of October.

“For a long time, we’ve been competing with Amazon and Kindle, and our customers haven’t been supporting us in this economy,” said owner Annette Palmer. “We have to close because the funding just isn’t there. The numbers just don’t add up.”

Earth Song opened in 1969, and Palmer, with the help of her family, bought the independent bookstore in 2007, only days before wildfires began to ravish nearby areas. She was 24 when she became owner of the store, located at 1440 Camino Del Mar, which she said she fell in love with at first sight. She found out the store was for sale from a Craiglist ad, advertising a $250,000 price tag.

“I was just out of college and owned a bookstore by the beach,” she said. “It was my dream.”

Palmer said she has already started writing a book about her experience.

The closing comes just after the shuttering of Book Works, an independent bookstore that operated at Flower Hill Promenade for 35 years. Across the country, the diminishing of bookstores has been a trend.

“When I heard Book Works was closing I was shocked,” said Palmer. “We thought they were doing better than us because they have a good location and better parking. But we are all hurting.”

Palmer said she is extremely sad, but “grateful to the people of Del Mar who made Earthsong what it is.”

In upcoming weeks, Palmer said, Earth Song will be holding many sales and events, which will be announced on the store’s Facebook and Twitter (Twitter.com/earthsongbooks) pages.

“I invite the community to come in and say goodbye,” she said.

The ABC’s of lung disease

BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR According to the Centers for Terrie Litwin Disease Control and Prevention, deaths related to lung disease have now surpassed stroke as the third leading cause of death in the United States. Deaths from Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease (CLRD) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) continue to rise. Chronic lung disease is an on-going problem that keeps you from breathing normally. Many conditions are considered chronic lung disease. These include emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma, restrictive lung disease and cystic fibrosis.

COPD may be caused by many factors including smoking, environmental, and occupational exposure to lung irritants.

Because the lungs process air, they are the only internal organs that are constantly exposed to the external environment. As part of the respiratory system, they breathe in between 8,000 and 9,000 liters of air each

day, which is the amount that is needed to oxygenate blood that is pumped through the heart . The rate at which we breathe is controlled by the brain which senses changes in oxygen levels, and, as the body’s biggest user of oxygen, is the first to suffer if there is a shortage. Lungs are delicate organs and vulnerable to a range of illnesses, the most common of which are bronchitis and emphysema. The American Lung Association provides the following interesting facts about our lungs: the right lung is slightly larger than the left; the surface area of the lungs is roughly the size of a tennis court; a person at rest breathes about 12 to 15 times a minute which is at least 17,000 times each day.

Please join us at the Senior Center on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 2 p.m., for “The A-B-C’s of Lung Disease,” an interactive discussion of the myths and truths of common lung diseases. You will have the opportunity to have your resting oxygen saturation level tested and see medical equipment commonly used for sleep apnea.

The presenter, Dr. Robert Savage, M.D., is a physician with Acute Care Associates, a team of highly trained

Dining is a six-sided affair at the upscale Hexagone

BY DANIEL K. LEW exagone, the French bistro in the heart of Banker’s Hill of downtown San Diego, takes its name from the geometric hexagon and referencing the six-sided shape of France. Fittingly, Hexagone’s owner, Parisian-born Patrick Halcewicz, attests to the many sides of classic and contemporary French cuisine offered in the elegant-and-inviting L-shaped dining room — also six-sided.

“This type of place could exist anywhere in France,” Halcewicz said of the restaurant’s intimate atmosphere.

Cream-colored draperies accent big windows offering views of city life outside, while walls filled with Art Nouveau posters from the early 20th century also give the place chic appeal.

Halcewicz describes the restaurant’s daily offerings of about 20 appetizers and 20 entree choices as traditional Provençale French cuisine with Mediterranean and modern California influences.

“We’ve got something for almost everyone’s tastes,” Halcewicz said.

“And, our experienced, knowledgeable French waiters are very helpful.”

Classical French appetizers remain the most popular, including French Onion Soup Gratinée, Frogs Legs Provençale, Escargots à la Bourguigonne, and Crispy

On The

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net.

Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’

■ This week: Hexagone’s Moscovy Breast of Duck with Leg Confit Sweetbreads in a Wild Mushroom Ragoût.

Frogs Legs Provençale is especially fragrant upon its arrival at one’s table: A tantalizing aroma from chopped herbs, shallots, olives, peppers, and garlic butter smother the tender morsels of frog meat.

Among the varied main course selections including beef, fish, chicken and lamb, Moscovy Breast of Duck with Leg Confit and Orange Sauce remains the best seller. The succulent duck is extra flavorful with its spice rub, along with the right amount of smokiness.

The duck is first sauteed, then finished off in the oven while cooking in its own juices.

“We use the freshest ingredients and take pride in our consistency of quality,” said Halcewicz, who added most of the

seasonal vegetables used are organic and picked from local farms.

For dessert, Halcewicz recommends Crêpes Suzette cooked in a grand-marnier sauce, or his favorite — Apple Tarte Tatin, consisting of caramelized apples with calvados in a light puff pastry, served a la mode with French vanilla ice cream.

The other “sides” of Hexagone’s offerings include a simpler lunch menu that includes sandwiches, Sunday Brunch, live jazz and blues on Tuesdays, wine nights, a full bar, and theater-goer specials. Since the restaurant is only a few blocks from Balboa Park, it offers complimentary roundtrip shuttles for diners to The Old Globe on nights when performances take place.

Before entering the restaurant business, Halcewicz managed both the historic La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla and Rancho Valencia Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. He said his years in the hospitality field transcend to his philosophy of high standards at his restaurants: French Market Grille in Rancho Bernardo, Hexagone, and Gourmet On 5th — which offers deli selections, take out and catering service across the street from Hexagone.

Free parking is available at an underground garage at the corner of Laurel Street and Fourth Avenue.

CCA junior earns scholarship to Berklee College of Music program

BY MEGAN MCVAY INTERN This year at the Berklee College of Music Summer Program, administrators realized that Chris Borst’s talent was more than just music to their ears.

While attending the one-week camp in Los Angeles, the Canyon Crest Academy junior harmonized his lively stage presence and unique lyrics with his impressive guitar, singing and drumming skills. As a result, Borst was awarded a scholarship to next year’s five-week summer performance program at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Although receiving the scholarship certainly struck a high note, it is only one of Borst’s many accomplishments.

His musical prowess began in the 7th grade when he joined his first band called “Thunder Ground” as the drummer and recorded his first songs at a local studio. Borst further fostered his musical passion by learning to play the guitar and taking vocal lessons.

Drawing inspiration from Led Zeppelin and the Foo Fighters, Borst faithfully practiced daily, held garage band rehearsals and even began to write his own songs.

The first song he wrote was called “Goodbye Gorgeous” and since then he has been a part of more than 40 songs and five different bands. Borst experiments with classic rock, metal, grunge and alternative rock, but he also stresses the importance of staying in tune with his own personal sound.

“It’s hard to write your own lyrics and find your sound and not sound cheesy or off-putting,” said Borst.

“Writing songs is very personal. It’s not fun to hear something that doesn’t sound like yourself.”

With the support of his family, friends and band members, Borst has transitioned from garage practices to center stage performances. On Nov. 29, after going through several auditions, he was able to compete in the Bringing Down the House: Battle of the Bands competition, an annual teenage event hosted by the International House of Blues Foundation. He has also performed at venues such as the Del Mar Fair, Epicentre and Soma.

“The coolest concert I ever got to play at was a local, sold-out show at Soma San Diego this past January. My band called ‘For the Legends’ got to perform in front of a crowd of 1,300 screaming people. Seeing that many people in front of me was be-

Chris Borst yond anything I could have ever imagined,” Borst reminisced.

Not only has Borst played at numerous concerts alongside his favorite local bands, but he has also performed on multiple radio shows, including Sophie’s 103.7, Star 94.1 and 102.1 KPRI. He was even named “Artist of the Week” by 103.3 KTMQ in Temecula.

Now a member of the band “Captain Fiction,” Borst is continuing to write songs and book performances. Recently, on Sept.

4, Borst performed his newest song called “Castle County” on Rock 105.3 and on Sept. 9 he played in Epifest concert at Epicentre.

Yes, Borst has big dreams of affecting lives with his music, and with numerous performances, songs and concerts under his belt, he has certainly started his journey down the road to stardom on a good note.

“I’m looking forward to keeping up the show playing and music camps. And I am definitely looking forward to the Berklee camp and all that will come with it, especially going to Boston. After the camp, I hope I will get accepted to Berklee College of Music,” Borst said.

De Anza DAR sponsors 2011-2012 American History Essay Contest De Anza DAR is sponsoring the 2011-2012 American History Essay Contest for Grades 5 through 8. It will give a $100 cash prize to each of the grade level 1st place winners. Many local schools will be participating.

The title for the essay is, “Young America Takes a Stand: The War of 1812.”

The contestant is to “pretend you were alive during the War of 1812 and had a friend who has become fa-

mous in history because of standing up for America during that exciting but dangerous time. Describe the person and how he or she stood up for America.

Explain why it is important to honor such heroes when we celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812.” DAR’s rationale for the topic is that “the heroes who stood up for America during the War of 1812 are important today just as they

were then. They had a positive impact on American history. It will help history come alive for students when they imagine that they are personally involved in the past.”

Contest packets have been sent to the schools.

Sept. 17, 2011 is the deadline to indicate school participation. If a student’s school does not participate, students from grades 5 through 8 may to submit es-

says directly to De Anza Chapter. Oct. 28, 2011 is the deadline for essay submission to Joanne Dudek, PO Box 8134, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067-8134.

DM home to murder mystery plot Sea science programs

surface at Birch Aquarium

Author to appear at Earth Song Books Sept. 24

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer Amanda Carlisle is an empath who uses “mind forensics” to help detective Nick Caswell solve crimes — in Del Mar. That’s the plot behind “Freud’s Revenge,” a new mystery novel written by PJ Adams, who will hold a book signing and discussion Sept. 24 from 2 to 5 p.m. at Earth Song Books (1440 Camino Del Mar). The book is the first in a series of mysteries that incorporate psychological theories of wellknown thinkers like Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, who greatly inspired Adams during the nine years she taught their philosophies as a professor at the La Jollabased National University. A former North County resident, Adams chose Del Mar as the setting for her books because she loves the area.

“It’s a great place, a beautiful setting,” she said.

“It’s intelligent, artistic. It’s

PJ Adams just a charming setting to place a mystery series.”

The book makes references to known places like L’Auberge, Il Fornaio and other hot spots around the Del Mar Plaza. The characters reside in Del Mar. Adams — born Pamela Jean — assumed a genderless pseudonym in order to avoid gender bias, she said.

Not only does using the pen name add mystery to the mystery writer herself, but she looks up to authors like J.K. Rowling who have found success using their

initials.

Adams has gotten ideas for her mystery plots from crime TV, the news and everyday events, she said. A psychotherapist working out of Carlsbad who once worked in the publishing industry for more than 15 years, she deals with patients from all walks of life, she said, some functional, some non-functional and some who are in the criminal system.

“I love mysteries,” said Adams. “People are mysteries.”

North Coast Rep opens Season 30 with sidesplitting ‘Lend Me a Tenor’

BY DIANA SAENGER Let’s Review!

The slam, slam, slamming of doors has never been funnier than in North Coast Repertory Theatre’s (NCRT) current production “Lend Me A Tenor.” Think the Three Stooges chasing themselves through a hotel room or Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in an absurd farce, and that’s the pace of this thoroughly hilarious show.

The show opens in the living room of a hotel suite in Cleveland, Ohio were sits Maggie (Courtney Corey) and Max (Christopher M. Williams). It’s obvious the two are involved, but Maggie is gushing about Tito (Bernard X. Kopsho), a famous Italian opera tenor coming to their town to star as Othello in a benefit performance. Maggie, who met Tito once before, claims to Max that she needs to have a fling before she settles down. She wants to hear bells when she kisses the right man. Williams puts on one of the best snit-fits I’ve seen on stage in his distress over Maggie’s statements.

That’s about the tamest moment in this winner of three Tony Awards. Entering the living room next is a frazzled Saunders (Ted Barton), Maggie’s father and the man in charge of handling Tito who is, so far, a no-show. Saunders insists that guy-Friday Max must sing the opera in disguise and save the show, and Max is about to have another meltdown until Tito and his fiery wife Maria (Jessica John) show up.

From this moment on nothing is predictable and there’s barely a minute when the audience is not roaring. Obviously it’s Tito’s strong romantic voice (not his portly physique) that enthralls women to fall at his feet. Coming in and out of those slamming doors and ducking into closets and bathrooms to avoid each other include Maggie, singer Diana (Jacque Wilke), and the opera show manager Julia (Jill Drexler).

Maria, tired of women hiding in his closets, tells tenor Tito in her Italian accent, “Someday you gonna wake up in bed and you gonna be a soprano!” Then she

abruptly leaves the suite.

When Tito insists he must sleep before the evening’s concert, Max helps him by spiking his drink. Hours later, Tito will not wake up, and a distraught Max has to tell Saunders that Tito is dead.

Barton portrays the overwrought Ted perfectly, never far from a heart attack and creating a tension that can be felt in the last row of the theater. Williams easily takes Max through several traumas, and quickly works his way out of one situation into another, all with outrageous gestures. Corey is adorable in her “innocent” pursuit of a fling with Tito and trying to avoid Max and her father. Her facial expressions intensify every evolving emotion.

Wilke, Drexler and John pull off their roles with precision, and adding yet another layer of humor is Albert Park as the hotel bellhop. He, too, is infatuated with Tito and does all he can to intrude into the hotel room to get a picture and autograph of the tenor.

Director Matthew Wiener has raised “Lend Me A Tenor” far off the written page. It’s a spectacular screwball comedy that will have patrons smiling long after they’ve left the theater.

If you go What: Lend Me A Tenor When: 7 p.m. Wednesdays, 8 p.m.

Dr. Seuss expert finds seven ‘lost’ stories for book No. 45!

BY STEVE MIHAILOVICH Contributor The Sept. 27 release of “The Bippalo Seed and Other Lost Stories” by Dr. Seuss could force Grinches, Sneetches and Loraxes to make room for what might be the next member of that venerable pantheon: the wild wheef.

The wheef joins the icka, gritch, grickle and other fanciful characters in the new Dr. Seuss book based on a collection of old stories that have been all but forgotten since their publication in Redbook magazine in the early 1950s.

While the posthumous release of seven stories by one of La Jolla’s most renowned residents, Theodore Geisel, might appear dubious on the surface, the stories are the precursors of the rhythm, rhyme and rich illustrations that would catapult Dr. Seuss into the avant-garde of children’s literature, according to the stories’ discoverer, Dr. Charles Cohen.

“If you hear there’s going to be a book of new stories 20 years after somebody dies, it’s reasonable to think someone found something at the bottom of a drawer and dusted off the paper clips and the crumbs,” said Cohen. “That’s what I didn’t want people to think because it’s just not true. I was going to say I hope people will feel that this does him justice, but I don’t have to hope that. These are his

Dr. Charles Cohen quality stories. I know they are.”

A dentist in western Massachusetts, Cohen said he has been collecting rare documents, drawings and memorabilia by and relating to Dr. Seuss since 1988. In that time, he became such a leading expert on the subject that Geisel’s publisher, Random House, selected him to write a biography on Dr. Seuss for the centennial of his birth in 2004.

Cohen said he didn’t acquire the seven stories simultaneously, but rather as part of his more than 20year accumulation of Seuss object that has resulted in a database of 33,725 entries at last count, though not all of them are actual items. Cohen pursued those stories and others on the Internet after continuously running across references to them.

The seven stories were picked from the 30 similarly obscure stories Cohen possesses to become the 45th

children’s book written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss because these had all the elements readers have come to expect, Cohen noted.

“There are extremely strong stories and in addition, cumulatively amongst these, you get a very satisfying feeling of having all of those Seuss buttons pushed — the moral, the writing, the illustrations — all of those things,” he said.

Aside from the content, the stories are even more valuable because of the context in which they were created. Citing historical accounts, Cohen said the stories were written when Geisel had just realized the style that would eventually lead to a revolution in how children learned to read.

The seven “Bippalo Seed” stories were such a pinnacle in Dr. Seuss’s early career, that the reader will discover recognizable traces of plots and characters that were to become the basis of the author’s later, more famous works, Cohen added.

“That’s what these stories really are,” he said.

“They are an experiment of how (Geisel) could use his talents with his rhythm and his rhyme; this thing that makes kids able to memorize a whole story when they’re three-years-old even though they’re not supposed to be able to read until they’re six or seven; and get kids to be interested in reading at a younger and younger age.

There are all the important

“The Bippalo Seed and Other Lost Stories” by Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) Random House, Sept. 27, 2011; 72 pages; $15; also available in CD and downloadable version. Targeted to ages 6-9, the seven stories in the book are: • “The Bippolo Seed” • “The Bear, the Rabbit, and the Zinniga-Zanniga” • “Gustav the Goldfish” • “Tadd and Todd” • “Steak for Supper” • “The Strange Shirt Spot” • “The Great Henry McBride”

things you want children to learn about. This is something we expect from Dr. Seuss.”

The merits of the new 72-page Dr. Seuss book parallel that of its author, according to Lynda Claassen, director of the Mandeville Special Collections Library at UCSD and curator of the 10,000-piece Dr. Seuss Collection there. She said that Dr. Seuss books continue to be top sellers, with “Oh The Places You’ll Go” the No. 1 gift at graduations.

“The things he wrote about are the things people still care about,” Claassen said. “His artistic and literary efforts together create that timelessness. They still mean something.”

Geisel’s widow, Audrey, said she didn’t know him when he wrote the stories found in “The Bippalo Seed and Other Lost Stories.” Although she’s not surprised that people still cherish her late husband’s stories, she still can’t pinpoint the attraction. Just like his characters, Dr. Seuss has entered his own pantheon, she said.

“Like Aesop, the Brothers Grimm and others, you can’t put your finger on it,” she said. “On and on it goes.

It’s my life now. I’m totally wrapped up in all the things that Ted was wrapped up in until he could not wrap anymore. Now he’s the lovely treasure chest when you enter the Seuss house and I’m the glass on the door. It’s beautiful.”

Fairbanks runner on La Jolla Country Day’s accomplished cross country team

BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer La Jolla Country Day’s boys cross country team has unfinished business.

Last year, for the fifth year in a row, the team won the CIF, conference and league championships in Division IV, earning them a trip to the California CIF Cross Country State Championships. But it was a frustrating meet— top runner Noah Wolfenzon went down with an injury and they finished 15th. There’s a nagging feeling among them that they didn’t get as far as they could have and a growing confidence that this could be the year they take home a significant trophy.

“We want to make a name for ourselves at the state level. This team is by far the most prepared to do that,” said senior Jake Mack.

“They’re ready,” said Coach Scott Sanders, LJCD’s cross country coach for the last 13 years. Sanders has overseen 10 championship seasons. “I would love just to see everyone run their best race (at states). And hopefully that means there’s a podium in our future.”

The swift squad is ranked fifth in the state, with

six guys returning from last year’s run at state championships. This year they aim to finish third or fifth in the state and get five guys in the top 10.

La Jolla Country Day’s top seven includes seniors Jake and Noah, junior Jeff Clancy, sophomore David Castillejos, all from Carmel Valley; junior Ariel Smotrich, a junior from Fairbanks Ranch; Darin Wong, a sophomore from Sorrento Valley; and J.J. Juarez-Uribe, a junior from Chula Vista.

That number five ranking is a factor of a few things — Darin says it’s perseverance, Ariel says it’s their work ethic and that they “run hard day in and day out.”

But it also may be the brotherhood created by running in a pack together for two hours most days.

They have their fun sides (believing their postrace horchata has super-human powers and growing rat tails or attempting to grow mustaches for race days), but they also push each other.

Jake said there have also been two constants in Country Day’s winning ways: the solid values instilled in them by the school itself and their coach.

On their own, the team organized summer workouts to prep for the upcoming season. Since July 4, they’ve been running optional training sessions that each runner has accepted as mandatory to reach their high goals.

“I know the work they’ve done this summer has gotten them ready for this season,” said Sanders.

“It’s clear that Darin (the youngest of the top seven) has been working this summer to make varsity. He’s gunning for that spot.”

The boys’ favorite spot to run was the Los Penasquitos Canyon, washed down with burritos at Nico’s Taco Shop in Piazza Carmel. They’d also hit Mission Bay Park, logging heavy mileage and staying off concrete to save their knees and ankles. Jake estimates they ran up to 50 miles most weeks over the summer.

Cross country is a long season, from summer through late November if all goes well—long months of tired, thirsty and hungry miles. The boys will tackle their first race this Saturday, Sept. 10, at the Bronco Round-Up at Rancho Bernardo High.

The team’s favorite course is Mt. Sac, which they

will race in October.

“I love the down hills,” gushed David.

“You fly,” remarked Ariel.

Of course, downhills couldn’t happen without uphills, which also makes Mt. Sac the most challenging course they run during the season. Jake said in addition to the steep uphills, it’s also “hot, dusty, dry and crowded.”

Despite its toughness, it remains their favorite meet because it features the best competition and if it hasn’t been made clear, these guys like to compete.

This early in September, the team has not yet come to terms with what it will be like without captains Jake and Noah next year.

“Both Jake and Noah have been role models for the rest us,” Jeff said, As for Jake, he’s confident that the cross country team’s tradition of winning will continue.

“I think these guys are ready to win at least another five CIF championships,” Jake said, prompting his friends to laugh at his fuzzy math. “I don’t want to be here that long,” quipped junior Ariel.

But in the end, the established power won, as Cathedral defeated the Falcons13-7 in a Sept. 9 game dominated by great defense.

Tony Johnson rushed for 117 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries to lead the Dons, who improved to 2-0 overall for the season.

The Dons, who are fourtime defending San Diego Section Div. III champions, were led by quarterback Garrett Bogart, who completed 10 of 12 pass attempts for 112 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.

The Falcons, who made the Div. I semifinals for the first time in five years last season, fell to 1-1. They were led by running back Andrew Fargo, who rushed for 77 yards on 21 carries.

The Dons took a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter on Tony Johnson’s scoring run from the 2.

The Falcons tied the game late in the second quarter on David Bagby’s scoring run from six yards out.

Eagles a 13-6 lead.

That extra point turned out to be the difference, as Capistrano Valley closed to within 13-12 on a 20-yard scoring pass with under two minutes left in the game, but it failed to convert a two-point conversion.

Torrey Pines Falcons and Murrieta Hawks Battle to 24-24 tie

BY BILL BUTLER Two undefeated teams, the Torrey Pines Falcons and Murrieta Hawks (Pee Wee Division), battled to a 24-24 tie Saturday at Torrey Pines High School stadium. Torrey Pines had three regulars missing from the lineup-Carson Howard, Guard (ill) and both Louie Bickett (linebacker) and Conner Whitton (quarterback) (injured).

In addition, Andre Nordan was playing his first game of the season due to a fractured thumb. Both teams entered the game with identical 2-0 records and the contest was forecast to be close. Murrieta is a large, fast, talented team, while the Falcons are possibly a bit quicker and play a very disciplined game.

The action started with the opening kickoff, as Murrieta kicked to Zac Friedland, and he returned the kickoff up the middle of the field 75 yards for a touchdown. Ryan Wells was true with the PAT kick, and Torrey Pines had an 8-0 lead with only 12 seconds gone from the game clock.

Murrieta struck back quickly, as a back broke loose for an apparent touchdown run on their first pos-

session. Tyler Alexander caught the runner from behind just short of the goal line, but his effort delayed the Murrieta score by only one play.

Alexander then came off the corner to block the PAT kick, and the Torrey Pines lead stood at 8-6.

Perfusionist uses the body’s own cells to help people, animals heal

BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor For nearly 15 years, Angela Nava had worked with humans as a certified clinical perfusionist, trained to monitor blood and oxygen levels during cardiac surgery.

But it was a matter close to her own heart that encouraged Nava to perform work on animals, as well.

In 2006, Nava’s Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, Zoentje (which means “kiss” in Dutch), had a mast cell tumor removed from the back of her leg. However, the incision became infected Angela Nava performs her work on a horse. and the sutures split open.

Angela Nava credits her interest in perfusion to Olivia, a nurse who worked with patients in the critical care unit who had undergone open heart surgery. Angela Nava obtained a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Washington, and went on to receive a degree in extracorporeal technology from the State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse.

When treating humans and animals — primarily horses, dogs and cats — Nava produces several types of therapies. Applications of PRP and platelet gel — platelet rich plasma combined with medications to transform the liquid into a gel — are used for surgical and nonsurgical wounds, fractures and tendon injuries.

In humans, Perfusion Concepts’ stem cell treatments can be applied in spinal fusions, nonhealing fractures, large bone grafting procedures and bone fractures.

In horses and dogs, bone marrow-derived stem cells may be used to treat orthopedic injuries involving cartilage, bones, ligaments and tendons. According to the Perfusion Concepts Web site, these types of treatments are relatively new in canines. Horses may also receive the applications for the treatment of bone and nonhealing fractures, along with the suspensory ligament, the superficial digital flexor tendon and subchondral bone cyst lesions.

Pacific Ridge School celebrates opening of fifth academic year and installation of Dr. Bob Ogle as co-Head of School On Tuesday, Aug. 30, one day before the opening of Pacific Ridge School’s fifth academic year, hundreds of students, faculty, trustees, family members and community members gathered to celebrate a new defining moment for the school. Dr. Bob Ogle, formerly assistant head of school, joined Dr. Eileen Mullady, founding head of school, as co-head of the Carlsbad non-profit, independent school. Hired before Pacific Ridge opened its doors to students in fall 2007, Dr. Ogle has worked closely with Dr. Mullady crafting the vision for the school, in developing the programs that define its mission, in hiring and evaluating faculty, in constructing the budget, in working with parents and students, and in managing the overall operations of Pacific Ridge.

The Pacific Ridge School a cappella ensemble opened the installation ceremony with Seasons of Love.

Pacific Ridge School students

Dr. Bob Ogle and Dr. Eileen Mullady, co-heads of Pacific Ridge School and alumni shared their defining moments during their time at the school and chairman of the board of trustees Rick Sapp followed with his own defining moment. Dr. Bob Ogle and Dr. Eileen Mullady each addressed the community and then participated in a “passing of pens” ceremony, meant to symbolize their shared leadership.

In spring of 2011, the Pacific Ridge School Board of Trustees unanimously approved a co-head leadership model for the non-profit,

independent middle and upper school (grades seven through 12). The promotion of Dr. Ogle exemplifies Pacific Ridge School’s model of training and developing leaders from within.

This year, Pacific Ridge School will continue to share the moments that define its history and future.

These defining moments illustrate a moment when a transformation occurs for a member of the Pacific Ridge community. The school community is invited to share its own defining moments via email at definingmoments@pacificridge.org for the opportunity to be included in a Fifth Year Commemorative Book.

New Santa Fe Christian school year gets a boost in technology The summer of 2011 was both busy and productive for Santa Fe Christian Schools.

Technology upgrades and renovated classrooms are a few of the numerous enhancements that will be utilized to accelerate learning in the classroom.

Santa Fe has introduced many new cutting edge tools, including one-to-one computing with Lenovo laptops and tablets, Polyvision Eno digital interactive touchscreen whiteboards, Yamaha keyboards and LanSchool collaborative software. The most in-demand gadget has to be the Qwizdom “clickers,” a student handheld remote system that allows students to get involved instantly in classroom lessons. The devices aid the teachers in assessing each student individually, giving them immediate feedback during class. Jim Hays, SFCS’s information technology director, has worked closely with the faculty to bring the latest technology and innovation into the classroom. “These new tools will have a dynamic impact not only on how we teach but how we learn.”

Newly remodeled classrooms welcomed students and will support all the new hardware and software upgrades. An interior renovation of the original historical bungalows was completed during an eight-week period, which included new en-

‘Roots of reeds’ come to upgraded Museum of Making Music

By Founded in 1998 by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), Carlsbad’s Museum of Making Music opened in March 2000, giving visitors a chance to interact with some of the instruments that helped shape American popular music. It welcomes 30,000 visitors a year, while offering a variety of workshops and concerts.

Recently closed for two months of renovation, the museum’s grand re-opening on Aug. 20 revealed a brighter, more spacious setting with more interactivity than ever, and found visitors of all ages exploring the exhibits and making music of their own.

“Our philosophy is allowing people to play real instruments, not dumbeddown versions,” said MoMM Education Manager Jillian Jepsen.

At the opening, volunteer Terry Chaffee was demo-ing a Loar mandolin, and giving quickie lessons to anyone in sight. “I love doing this,” he said. “I show folks a couple of chords and they’re on top

of the world.”

The real highlight is the new Innovation Studio, where everyone can play ... and they do. Even if you manage to resist trying out the instruments, you’ll be hooked by the “Global Spotlight,” a giant touchsensitive digital map featuring the music of 15 countries — tap on a region, and you can hear its traditional music; another tap brings you a clip of contemporary sounds. More countries will

be added as time goes by.

According to Jepsen, who was also project manager for the renovation, the map is a new concept, developed with Academy Studios, a design firm in Novato.

“We wanted to give visitors a glimpse of world music in a contemporary way that was friendly to all ages,” she said. “We divided the music into two categories, Echo and Evolution, representing where music

came from and where it has gone. I was really happy with how it turned out and visitors seem to really enjoy it.”

In conjunction with “Roots of Reeds,” a new temporary exhibit showcasing traditional reed instruments from the Middle and Far East and tracing their evolution into modern instruments, the museum will have a number of special events, featuring reed-playing virtuosos.

On Sept. 18, James Cotton, Grammy award-winning master of the blues harmonica, will perform with his long-time band member, guitar player/singer Tom Holland. Cotton, who has appeared with blues legends B.B. King and Muddy Waters, has been performing for more than 60 of his 76 years, and has been called “the greatest living blues harmonica player.”

There will be a reception before the concert, and art curator Tatiana Sizonenko will be available to talk and answer questions about the reeds exhibit.

De Anza DAR to honor historic physician De Anza Chapter DAR members recently visited the historic home and medical office of Dr. Sophronia Nichols in Alpine, Calif., in preparation for their bronze historic marker dedication on Oct. 8. Dr. Nichols’ home is the site of the John DeWitt Museum and Library at the Alpine Historical Society’s Heritage Park. Heritage Park holds three buildings that are a century old, includDr. Sophronia ing Dr. Nichol’s home and Carriage House, and Nichols, age 25 the Captain Adam Beatty House. The Alpine Historical Society, the Alpine Chamber of Commerce and the Alpine Kiwanis Club will also participate in the marker dedication ceremony. Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony. The public is welcome to attend; historical tours will be available.

Via the efforts of member Nancy Eggert-Boone, the National Society DAR in Washington, DC recognizes Dr. Nichols as a “Significant Woman in History.” Dr. Nichols was born in 1835 in West Tisbury, Massachusetts. After losing four newborn chil-

dren, she enrolled in Boston University Medical School; she graduated in 1874. In order to be accepted as a physician in a male-dominated profession, independent Dr. Nichols bobbed her hair and smoked.

In 1885, she was issued California’s Homeopathic Medical Certificate #26. She died in 1903 and is buried in Alpine.

Dr. Nichols’ ancestor is the Revolutionary War patriot, the Reverend Joseph Thaxter, who served as a medical doctor and chaplain in the Revolutionary Army during the Battle at Concord Bridge, the Battle of Bunker Hill and other famous battles. Dr. Nichols’ great-granddaughter will be applying for membership to De Anza DAR. De Anza members hail from Cardiff, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Leucadia, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and other areas. Meetings are held in Rancho Santa Fe. A woman 18 years or older is eligible for membership who can prove direct lineage from a Revolutionary War patriot. De Anza’s active lineage committee helps prospective members with their applications. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism.

Your Family Matters: Making friends

BY DR. KEITH KANNER The capacity for a child to develop good, solid friendships is an important developmental acquisition and paves the way for future interpersonal happiness. In past columns, I have discussed how good friendships often represent what was observed in the early relationships with parents: compassion, trust, open communication, and someone to share with.

As children grow and develop as individuals, they push away from their parents through adolescence and look to their friends for support and caring that was evident in their previous relationships with the parent.

Peers offer an experience of someone who is right in a period of life as they are, which can be very helpful and comforting. Any parent who owns an SUV and has an adolescent has witnessed this type of interaction as they hear the caring and loving interactions between the adolescents in the back seat of the car and wonder why their children no longer talk to them in this fashion.

Here, is an example of the shift from parental closeness to peer closeness

September 15, 2011

Dr. Keith Kanner

which lasts through the adolescent years. Once into young adulthood, however, the relationship with one’s child again becomes close and contemporary, which should make the parent feel convinced that this variance between oneself and their child is only temporary.

However, maintaining friendships is not easy, especially for small children.

Given beliefs in people being “fair” and “nice” all of the time (as the consciences of children between the ages of 3 and 11 tell them), it is common for small children to dismiss their friendships once tension is in the air.

Comments such as “He is not my friend anymore because he teased me” are frequent and typically misread as “not being friends,” rather than just a dispute.

These types of interactions can lead to periods of isolation and sadness if a child expects his or her relationships to always run smoothly. Second, often times, children tend to only have a single friendship, rather than a pool of friends to pick from. Here, when conflicts arise, the child is often left bored and frustrated which can lead to conflicts at home or in school.

Understanding concepts such as sharing or reciprocity, taking turns, learning how to put themselves in the other’s shoes, being sensitive and compassionate, tolerating envy, and bad sportsmanship as well as trying to find commonalities with peers, are additional necessities that children need to understand and practice if they are going to maintain solid relationships.

So, how can these tasks be taught to children? In some schools and camps, these types of skills are reinforced, but in most cases, the parent or parents need to work together with their child in understanding the complexities of friendships and come to a determination that all friendships are

continued from page B23 both confusing and conflictual, never perfect! Just because a friend becomes jealous, competitive, and at times, just rotten, does not mean they are not a friend — perhaps they are just having a bad day at home or at school, or out of envy, are being mean that day. We all know, by experiencing the ups and downs with our children’s friends, as well as those with our adult friends as well, that time heals.

Common conflicts resolve in time and the foundation of the friendship remains intact — this is why having more than a single friend is important, as well developing the skills to resolve conflicts. In many ways, the ups and downs children and adolescents experience with their peers is no different from those adults experience as well.

The primary difference is that most adults have the skills and knowledge to understand that friendships are never perfect and contain degrees of conflict periodically allowing for an acceptance of conflict.

A primary role of a parent is to teach these life lessons to their children, sometimes using their own expe-

riences with their friends as examples which give the child a sense of normality and comfort in tolerating interpersonal conflict. The parent can then encourage and help their children resolve such common conflicts and promote and help arrange time with friends.

Key Points: 1. Help kids understand that friendships are not perfect 2. Conflict is implicit in all relationships 3. Arguments do not mean they are not friends 4. Encourage compassion, sharing, and to look for common interests 5. Help them resolve conflicts in a constructive manner 6. Encourage a pool of friends and help them arrange dates Dr. Keith Kanner is host/ anchor - Your Family Matters WSRADIO; contributor to LifeChanger, Extra TV; a syndicated columnist; author of “Your Family Matters — Solutions to Common Parental Dilemmas” (in press); 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.

Drama attempts to explore what happens when teens give up on dreams

BY DIANA SAENGER Let’s Review!

Inspired by a story in Time magazine about a group of girls who make a pact to become pregnant at the same time, “Milk Like Sugar” runs through Sept.

25 at La Jolla Playhouse.

Playwright Kirsten Greenidge’s story exploring the truth behind the girls’ actions struggled in its telling during the first act. Audience members commented that they weren’t able to understand the dialogue due to its rapid-fire delivery and/ or they were unfamiliar with the colloquiums spoken. But those who stayed through the slower-paced second act, seemed tuned into the unfolding drama.

And though moments of “Milk Like Sugar” might feel artificial in some spots, it has heart and humor, and its messages are grounded in genuine import and relevance.

“Milk Like Sugar” has excellent performances and clever and inventive set changes. Greenidge layered her play with some nice metaphors, including when Annie reveals the reason for the title while talking to Malik: “We supposed to be drinking real milk, ’stead we fed that powered kind that looks like sugar.”

If you go What: ‘Milk Like Sugar‘ When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays; 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays; 7 p.m. Sundays to Sept. 25 Where: Potiker Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse Tickets: From $35 Box Office: (858) 5501010 Website: lajollaplayhouse.org
