DM school district to consider marijuana dispensary resolution BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District board would like to weigh in on the city’s medical marijuana ordinance, ensuring that dispensaries not be located near school campuses. At its May 22 meeting, the board directed staff to come back with a potential resolution on the subject. Local community planning groups in Carmel Valley and Torrey Pines have taken similar stances of opposition against the dispensaries being located in neighborhood community zones.
BY JOE TASH In the end, neither side got exactly what it wanted in a plan that will help shape the future of Solana Beach’s coastline. In seeking to strike a compromise between bluff top homeowners and the Surfrider Foundation, the Solana Beach City Council approved a series of amendments to a land-use plan that regulates coastal development at its meeting on
Wednesday, May 22. “It’s not a make everybody happy-type situation,” observed Mayor Mike Nichols, just before the council voted 4-1 to approve the amended plan. Councilman Tom Campbell cast the lone dissenting vote. The next step for the amended plan will be a hearing in front of the California Coastal Commission See LAND-USE, Page 6

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The beach water quality in San Diego County during the last summer season was among the best in the state, although the Tijuana River mouth made the list of the state’s most polluted beaches due to a sewage spill, according to Heal the Bay’s 23rd annual Beach Report Card released recently. The Santa Monica-based environmental group assigned letter grades based on levels bacterial
In April, Mayor Bob Filner proposed an ordinance that would allow dispensaries in community commercial as well as industrial zones, including Flower Hill Promenade, Del Mar Heights Village on Mango Drive close to Del Mar Hills School, and the future Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center, down the street from Sycamore Ridge. On April 22, San Diego City Council did not back Filner’s proposal and directed city staff to draft a new ordinance, going back to the
pollutants in the water to 71 beaches along the county’s coast, with 68 of those given an “A” for the period from last April to October — up 3 percent from last year’s report. San Diego County’s 96 percent “A” rating compares with 85 percent of the 441 beaches rated statewide that received the same high mark.

Carmel Valley Library to be repainted thanks to donations from Lightner, Del Mar Highlands Town Center BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Library will get a new look for its 20th anniversary celebration in July. Thanks to fundraising efforts by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library, work is expected to begin in the next couple of weeks on a fresh coat of paint over the black streaks that currently stain the exterior. The Friends received support from San Diego City Council President pro-tem Sherri Lightner, who contributed $26,000 from her Community Projects, Programs and Services budget. Del Mar Highlands Town Center also contributed $3,000 toward the repainting. “Not only are they our close neighbors, but they also play a very important role in supporting literacy and education for the community,” said Elizabeth Schreiber, vice president and general manager of Del Mar Highlands Town Center. “We are honored to work with them.” Suzanne Bacon, president of the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library, expressed her appreciation for the donations. “The Friends are grateful to the city, Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office, and Del Mar Highlands for providing the support and financial contributions to make this project possible,” Bacon said. “I’m thrilled that the exterior of the library will now better reflect what a treasured resource it is for our community. We invite the community to view the results and celebrate the library’s 20th anniversary with us on Saturday, July 27.”
Grading on new Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center still scheduled to begin by year’s end BY KAREN BILLING The Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center, a mixed-use center planned for Carmel Valley Road and Village Center Loop Road near Canyon Crest Academy, is moving forward through the city approval process. According to Dan Curran, vice president of Coast Income Properties, they hope to get through the city process by the end of the summer and begin grading by the end of the year. They still aim to open by the first or second quarter of 2015. The project includes 160,000 square feet of retail with a full-service market and drug store, a mix of shops and restaurants, a plaza and lawn area for gathering and 325 residential units. Curran said an exciting part of the process is that they have begun leasing discussions with potential tenants. “This is a great neighborhood and the tenants know that,” Curran said, noting they have heard several proposals for the market and drug store. They expect to select those tenants in the next three to four months and then start talk-
Meeting to be held June 12 on Carmel Country Road ‘Merge’ project in Carmel Valley
BY KAREN BILLING Neighbors of a proposed mixed-use center called Merge, to be located on Carmel Country and Carmel Mountain Roads, have several concerns about the new development and have circulated a petition in opposition. A petition with 87 signatures from residents of Highlands Village was presented to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on May 22. Residents will be able to learn more about the project as well as voice any concerns at a community meeting on Wednesday, June 12, at 6 p.m. the Torrey Hills Hilton Garden Inn. With Merge, the developers Gary Levitt and Tony Frost of Seabreeze Properties, said they aim to bring something “new and unique” to the community on the 4-acre lot on the corner of Carmel Country and Carmel Mountain Roads. The “true mixed use” center uses modern architecture in its design for 10 townhomes with detached garages and private yards, and 21 residential flats over 35,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. The project will also have a central green area where all of the different uses can “merge.” Levitt has said he is looking to create a hub for the community with unique and flexible office spaces, restaurants, a coffee shop, retail and residential products that would appeal to bachelors, young couples, small families or empty nesters looking to downsize but remain in the Carmel Valley community. The developers are seeking an amendment to the existing permit approved in 2007 for 20,000 square feet of commercial retail in five buildings with surface parking lot. Merge will provide 241 parking spots for the project in both underground parking and a surface lot. The original plan included 186 spaces, all surface parking. Fran Kennedy, a resident representing Highlands Village, said the petition aims to stop the project “immediately,” calling for a redesign that takes into account the neighborhood concerns. Kennedy said the neighbors would like to see a center that is smaller in scale, lower in intensity and more consistent with the surrounding area’s character. In previous meetings, some residents have said that the center’s modern architecture and design clashes with the existing look of the neighborhood.
Carmel Creek Elementary School Reunion for the Class of 2013 is June 5 On Wednesday, June 5, from 3:15 - 4:15 p.m., high school seniors who once attended Carmel Creek Elementary School are invited to a casual reunion at the school. The highlight of this event will be when students and teachers get in a big circle. The students will share a favorite memory and what their future plans are. The teachers — along with Principal Terri Davis — will share stories and words of encouragement to the students as they begin this next stage in life. ing with tenants to fill the retail and restaurant spaces. Karen Dubey, a Pacific Highlands Ranch resident, said she would like the developers to work with the community before grading begins to work out issues related to the grading trucks. Curran said they have every intent to be “good neighbors.”

road”; Jim Greer, the director of UMTR2ME, who talked about how he built a successful life following an unsuccessful suicide; and Bonnie Bear, the executive director of Survivors of Suicide Loss. Students also listened to Johnny Rivera, the successful restaurateur behind Hash House A Go Go, Tractor Room and Great Maple Restaurant, on how he coped with the demise of his Plan A and turned Plan B into success he never could have imagined. Rivera, a native San Diegan, aspired to be a rock n’ roll star. He bypassed college and went out on tour with his band and felt like he was on his way to his dream — his band signed with a record company, opening for acts such as the Clash and Devo. But a musician’s life is not an easy one, a life that Rivera said is often filled with failure as the reality is that only 1 percent of bands really make it big. He was eventually dropped from his record label and that failure led him to drink too much and do “a lot of things he shouldn’t.” He said it was the lowest of the low and he saw his friends become addicted to heroin, go to prison, go through divorces and be content to be unemployed when rock n’ roll did not pan out. As he neared age 29, he decided he couldn’t let his failure to become a success in music destroy the rest of his life. He shook the idea that he was worthless without music; didn’t “stay at the party too long,” found his “authentic self” and worked his “Plan B.” “I am a street fighter, I made it through,” Rivera said. He had always been interested in the restaurant business and decided to throw himself entirely into starting his own restaurant. He worked three jobs, lived

in the smallest place he could afford, sold his car and maxed out credit cards. “People told me the restaurant business is so hard but it’s not like music,” Rivera said. He found a new way to express himself and infused a rock n’ roll “twisted” attitude into Hash House A Go Go, with heaping portions of fun farm food. The restaurant opened in 2000 and the concept immediately caught people’s attention. Hash House now has nine locations, including spots in Chicago, Orlando and Connecticut, and it is the only San Diego restaurant chain to hit Las Vegas. Rivera also opened downtown’s Tractor Room, which specializes in “honest cocktails and meats,” while his newest eatery, Great Maple, specializes in seasonal produce, responsible seafood and farm fresh American meat in a “European dinette” setting. Great Maple has a second location in Newport Beach. “Plan B doesn’t have to be a negative,” Rivera said. Rivera said that, as with anything, you have to put in the work to accomplish your goals. He said if you do anything at 50 percent, you’ll get a 50 percent yield — the reason why he has taken two days off since Christmas and has plans to expand his restaurant lines even further. “I don’t know how to stop swinging until I hear the bell,” he said. He told the teens that it hasn’t always been easy, he had a restaurant close in Kansas City, but he looks at it as losing a battle not the whole war. He said the key is keeping perspective, knowing that you can survive your mistakes and turn negatives into positives. That was one of the messages of Yellow Ribbon Week, to keep moving and stay on the path to living a healthy lifestyle. A mural designed by PALs on campus had a painting of a yellow brick road that invited students to write their hopes, dreams and aspirations on the bricks of the road. ‘There’s no substitute for living a great life and loving life for suicide prevention,” Hollins said. Hollins said the mural created a feeling of unity among the students and serves as a reminder of the potential for joy every day. “If you continue to move in the same direction, you will end up where you’re headed,” Hollins said to the teens. “Is that a warning or a promise? It’s both.”

BY KAREN BILLING Of the 38,634 Americans who took their lives last year, 5,000 of them were teenagers. With that troubling trend in mind, Torrey Pines High School held Yellow Ribbon Week during the week of May 20 to promote suicide prevention among teenagers and to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness, such as depression. The Yellow Ribbon program was started in 1994 in memory of 17-year-old Michael Emme, who took his life because he didn’t know how to let someone know he was in trouble or how to ask for help. On campus, yellow ribbons were everywhere, students wore yellow t-shirts that said “Be strong” and an art installation near the center of campus showed a circle of yellow sticks placed into the ground, each representing a state and the number of suicides that took place in each state last year. At the center was a broken stick with the words “Break the Cycle.” Of all the states, California had the most deaths with 3,913. The week of awareness and inspiration was led by the Peer Assistant Listeners (PALs) group and its advisor Don Hollins, who also the independent study and online learning lab facilitator. “The message is an important one and not one that students hear every day,” Hollins said. During the week students also received “Be a Link” cards. The cards had numbers for San Diego’s 24hour crisis hotline and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The card is also a communication tool that students use to ask for help. Hollins said that teenagers have the ability to recognize their own power in helping their friends and classmates. “Statistically we need to break the cycle, have the courage to say ‘I need help’ and the courage to reach out to people who need that help,” Hollins said. About 1,800 students attended six different assemblies with a variety of presenters. Presenters included Anna Collins, a Harvard MBA graduate and Amazon executive who spoke about the tools for handling stress and failure; transpersonal psychotherapist Dr. Dorothy Gita Moreno, the greatgranddaughter of Frank L. Baum, author of “The Wizard of Oz,” who spoke on how to “find, follow and stay on your yellow brick

Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) junior Claire Bolton will be traveling to Abeadze Dominase, Ghana, for three weeks in July to help build an elementary school with a small team from Empathy FX International (empathyfx.org) based at UC Berkeley, California. This is a non-profit venture whose mission is to build and sustain schools in rural areas, using education as a means to help disadvantaged areas. Claire was put in touch with the organization through her membership in Key Club at CCA, which does voluntary work for good causes. A handful of participants have been selected for this program which involves working for five-eight hours each day to build the school and work with the children, teaching them a variety of subjects, such as English, math, science and art. The group wants to send over more supplies for the Ghanaian students, while creating bonds between a group of American students and a group of young Ghanaian students — to enhance everyone’s understanding of the world. Claire was keen to take part in something worthwhile that would make a positive different to the lives of others and take her out of her “comfort zone.” She added that “It is my belief that education is for everyone, not just those born into privilege, and I want to spread this message one student at a time. One in four kids in Ghana, Africa, is not literate which is crazy. I really want to help change that.” To raise funds for the project, Claire has already held a garage sale, delivered leaflets for local businesses in return for a donation, and is currently planning a series of bake sales in June.

Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimists present Children’s Challenge Awards BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club held its Vic Kops Children’s Challenge Awards on May 22 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, honoring 10 exceptional young elementary school students in the areas of community service, art, courage, fellowship, humanities/writing and science. The 31st annual awards are named in honor of Optimist Vic Kops, who passed away in 2007. Kops developed the awards as a way to honor “kids in a league all their own” who are not honored enough for the good things that they do. Ten students is more than the Optimists have ever honored before, but they had so many outstanding entries this year the number was warranted, according to chairperson Susan Pfleeger. “We have some amazing kids in our community,” Pfleeger said. In the category of courage, the Optimists honored Ocean Air fourth grader Maxwell Yao, a youngster who bravely battled brain cancer. Diagnosed just after his 10th birthday, Maxwell was taken out of school for a year as he received chemotherapy and radiology treatments. According to his mother, Yannuo, Maxwell decided he was just going to fight no matter what happened — she said that he never cried and he never complained. He repeatedly assured his parents that he would be fine. “His courage and quiet strength carried his parents through the hardest 10 months of his life,” teacher Michelle Beeson read from a letter written by Yannuo. When Maxwell returned to school he wanted to play violin in the school’s strings group and Beeson held an audition for him in between hospital visits. Beeson said he played with such “utter beauty” that she placed him in the sixth grade strings group, the only fourth grader in the group. His courage was an inspiration to his family and now to so many others, Beeson said. “He looked fear in the eye and said ‘Get out of my way, I have things to do,’” Beeson said. The community service award went to Carmel Del Mar fourth graders Tess Maretz, Faith Choe and Avalon Moore. The girls’ teacher David Skinner said the girls made it their own mission to start a lunch club to help tutor first and second grade students. Called the TFA (Tess, Faith and Avalon) Tutoring Club, the girls transform Skinner’s classroom at lunch into their own little school. They divide up kids by grade level and subject and come up with
their own lesson plans. “If I had more students like that, I’d be worried about my job,” Skinner said, noting that on days they don’t hold the club there are a lot of disappointed little first and second graders at his door. “They really have inspired younger students with the joy of learning.” On display at the award ceremony was the art of Ashley Falls second grader and winner in the category of arts Yolanda Sun. Her father, Chengkun Sun, said that her interest in drawing began at age 3 and she enjoys sharing her love of animals and nature through her work. “She’s made me more proud than ever before,” said Chengkun. “We hope this award encourages her to go far in art.” Katie Sheng, a sixth grader at Sage Canyon School, also won an award in the category of art. Her mother, Ming Chiang, said her talent in art is “exceptional” as evidenced by a realistic drawing of a wolf on display. Katie also excels in writing and is very athletic, playing softball. “We really appreciate what she showed us and we want to honor her for being a great, great kid,” said Ming. In the category of science, Solana Vista third grader Asher Petkevich was honored for his skill as an inventor. Asher won first place in his grade level as well as first place overall in the school’s invention fair for his “Wacky Water Machine 1.0.” With his machine, Asher created a way to efficiently water four plants at the same time. Teacher Ryan Girod praised Asher’s ability to take what he learned in the classroom about pulley systems to apply it to his own creation. In the category of fellowship Torrey Hills fifth grader Maxine Lacher was honored by her mom Orit Ostrowiak and teacher Jessica Cohen for her participation in the Big Kid Friend program at school. Maxine volunteers to provide additional friendship, motivation and support to a younger student with special needs. She even ran the school’s jogathon alongside her younger friend. “My daughter inspires me every single day,” Ostrowiak said. “She makes the world a better place.” Pfleeger said there were many wonderful writers who applied this year in the category of humanities/writing and two were selected as standouts. “You wouldn’t believe the stories this child has come up with,” said mom Madhu Malkani of winner Pranaya Malkani, a Torrey Hills first grader.

LAND-USE continued from page 1 in October, when the panel will decide whether to approve the new regulations. Once the plan is in place, Solana Beach will have greater autonomy in approving development plans within its boundaries, which also fall under Coastal Commission jurisdiction because of the city’s coastal location. The city began working on its local coastal development plan in 2000, and has so far submitted seven versions of the document to the commission. As it refines the plan, the city also faces a lawsuit filed by coastal homeowners who don’t like some of the plan’s key provisions. Among the most contentious issues in the plan are its treatment of seawalls, private beach stairways and setbacks, or the distance that homes must be built from the edge of the bluff top. Speakers on both sides of the issue lined up at the
podium Wednesday night to make their case. In addition to their testimony, both sides submitted letters containing suggested revisions to the amendments. Homeowners don’t like a provision in the plan that requires them to reapply for a permit for their seawalls — built to shore up deteriorating bluffs — after 20 years. City officials said the review determines if the seawall is still needed to protect a home from potential bluff collapse. Homeowners also said provisions that could require private beach stairways to be converted to public use, and establish setbacks for bluff-top development, amount to a government “taking” of their property. “Homeowners are forced under these regulations to stand by while their property deteriorates and crashes perilously on the beaches below’” said Pam Richardson, president of the homeowners association for the Seascape Shores condominiums.

representing homeowners, who filed a lawsuit in April challenging the policies, urged the council to postpone a decision on the amendments, and to take out the offending provisions regarding seawalls, private stairways and setbacks. “We’d like to send this back to drawing board for further analysis and consideration, and the three key things need to be deleted. The city cannot afford them and they are bad policy,” Corn said. However, speakers from the Surfrider Foundation urged the council to move forward, and continue refining the regulations. “Seawalls impede access to the shoreline,” said Jim Jaffee. “The whole shoreline is on the verge of being seawalled off.” Jaffee said the city should not allow private property owners to build seawalls on publicly owned bluffs. “It’s just not right,” he said. Applications to build seawalls should be weighed against their impacts on beach access, Jaffee said. Even council members disagreed on the best course of action. Campbell, who also voted against the plan in February, said the Coastal Commission staff dictated the provisions it wanted in the plan and its amendments. He suggested the council send the amendments back to staff, and have them meet with homeowners in an effort

to reach agreement on the seawall and staircase issues. However, other council members said progress is being made, and further changes can occur as the process moves forward. Once the land-use plan and amendments are approved, the city will work on a local implementation plan, which includes zoning ordinances and maps to put the landuse plan into effect. “We have made progress and we are headed in the right direction,” said Councilwoman Lesa Heebner. For example, language has been added to ensure that private stairways will remain so, Heebner said. “It’s not reasonable and feasible to have the public marching through private property to get to the beach, especially when there are public stairways nearby.” The setback requirement has also been modified from the original 70 to 75 feet, to 40 feet, which allows homeowners to remodel, repair and maintain their property as they choose, Heebner said. Council members bristled about being named individually in the homeowners’ lawsuit. Even Campbell, who voted against the plan, and City Manager David Ott, who doesn’t have a vote on the council, were named. In an interview after the meeting, Heebner said, ““In my opinion it’s harassment and brings a personal level to it that is unnecessary.”

BEACH continued from page 1 The water quality at the county’s beaches during the dry winter months from November to March also showed gains, with 98 percent receiving “A” or “B” grades, according to Heal the Bay. “Summer and winter swimming at San Diego beaches (have) probably never been better in recent history than now,’’ Heal the Bay Urban Programs Manager James Alamillo said. “(With) the combination of low rainfall, projects implemented to control dryweather discharges and greater public education, the county and its municipalities seemingly have runoff issues under control.’’ Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for sewage,’’ Alamillo said. “Once again, San Diego led all California coastal counties in the volume of sewage spilled.’” No “D” or “F” grades were given to San Diego County’s beaches, but the Tijuana Slough at the Tijuana River Mouth received a “C” grade, according to Heal the Bay. The beach at the mouth
MARIJUANA continued from page 1 language similar to the city’s 2011’s ordinance. Council also requested that dispensaries be located at least 1,000 feet from “sensitive uses” such as schools and at least 100 feet from residential zones. Sending back the Mayor’s proposed ordinance took many of the proposed community commercial zones off the list. The closest possible location to Carmel Valley would be in Sorrento Valley off Roselle Street. Del Mar School District Trustee Doug Perkins said that, in his opinion, dispen-
er Chase Anichini was honored for turning her experiences being bullied (at another school) into a book she wrote with her family called “Baffle That Bully.” In her book she seeks to help other kids facing bullies like she did “with her head held high and a smile on her face,” said mom Amy Jones Anichini. “She turned a negative experience into something positive and enduring,” Jones Anichini said. All of the winners received a $100 check and will be stars on the flyers announcing next year’s awards. of the Tijuana River took the 10th spot on Heal the Bay’s annual “Beach Bummers List’’ of the 10 most polluted beaches in the state. Avalon Harbor Beach on Catalina Island topped the list, according to the report. Flows in the Tijuana River impacted beach water quality at Border Field State Park beach, the Tijuana River Wildlife Refuge and Imperial Beach. Dry weather flow was caused by treated effluent being discharged into the river upstream by a sewage treatment plant in Tijuana, Heal the Bay reported. Border beaches also were impacted by untreated sewage that spilled into the Tijuana River or were discharged into the ocean just south of the U.S.- Mexico border. The spill led to 10 beach closures from the Silver Strand to the border, and the four southernmost beaches were closed for 139 days during the study’s reporting period, according to Heal the Bay. Heal the Bay placed 11 beaches in Oceanside, Carlsbad, Cardiff-by-the- Sea, Del Mar and Point Loma on its 35-beach Honor Roll. San Diego County had more beaches on the Honor Roll than any other county in the state, according to Heal the Bay. saries ought to be kept “as far away from school sites and where our children hang out as possible.” Board Vice President Scott Wooden agreed that he wouldn’t like to see medical marijuana storefronts around Carmel Valley or Del Mar retail centers, that they are more appropriate in “heavy duty” commercial or industrial areas. Mel Millstein, a representative for Councilmember Sherri Lightner, said he does not see the issue coming back before council for another six to nine months. Perkins, however, said he would like the district’s voice to come into the process sooner rather than later.

Education Matters/Opinion Solana Beach school board approves full day kindergarten for Global Education BY MARSHA SUTTON The Solana Beach School District’s Board of Education stood firmly behind SBSD superintend e n t Marsha Sutton Nancy Lynch and her controversial decision to extend the kindergarten day in the district’s Global Education program next year, by voting to support the change from modified day to full day. However, because the decision to implement full day was announced after parents had already chosen Global Ed for their children, there were some concessions. The board voted to offer an optional modified day with its 1:15 p.m. dismissal through the end of December, shifting all students starting in January 2014 to full day and a 3 p.m. dismissal. Board members also voted to hold a seat open for the 2014-2015 school year for parents who wish to hold their kids back one year. “Parents who feel their children aren’t ready for the full day can do the modified until winter break,” Lynch said. For parents who feel that still isn’t enough time and want a whole year of
modified, their kids can start kindergarten in the program next year. Lisa Denham, principal of Skyline School in Solana Beach where Global Ed is located, said the board’s compromise was a workable solution. The vote was four board members in favor and one, board president Rich Leib, opposed. Because of the late notice given to incoming kindergarten families, Leib preferred an optional modified day for the entire 20132014 school year rather than half the year. All five board members, however, supported making the Global Education kindergarten program full day for all students beginning with the 2014-2015 school year. Discussion on this issue at the May 23 board meeting lasted several hours, with about 100 people in attendance and 16 speakers, 15 of whom spoke in favor of the modified day and one speaker in favor of full day. David Zito, Solana Beach city council member, said the board should have involved parents in the decision and supported the modified day, saying it allows children “more time to be kids.” Bobbie Hilton, one of the founders of Global Ed and a retired teacher, said full-day kindergarten is
against the principles of Global Education and that the change will negatively impact the reading program. “I know in my soul that modified day is best for kids,” she said. Hilton and several other speakers – including Linnea Dayton, one of the parents who started the alternative program 35 years ago – asked the board to postpone the decision for one year, form a task force to study the issue, and then make a decision. Terry Hendlin, a San Dieguito Union High School District counselor, said the kindergarten program isn’t broken and doesn’t need to be fixed. SDUHSD biology teacher Ariel Haas, who has an incoming Global Ed kindergartner this fall, also opposed the change to full day, saying unstructured play and down-time are important for young children. He also said the teachers want to keep modified day and are being ignored. “Why not listen to them?” he said, calling this “shocking” as a teacher. This was a common theme. Global Ed parents Chris Antonelli and Beth Lee both asked the board to consider the teachers’ opinions. “We’ve developed trust in the teachers,” Antonelli
said. “If teachers said we needed it, we’d do it. But they aren’t saying that.” “Teachers are not supportive,” said Lee. Indeed, that seemed to be the case. Tarri Baldwin, president of the Solana Beach Teachers Association and a teacher at Solana Highlands School, addressed the school board at a May 2 special meeting and told trustees that teachers felt they were not given a choice. In her May 2 speech to the board, Baldwin said the teachers understood that “going to a full day was a ‘non-negotiable’ item.” Although no teachers spoke to the school board at the April 25 meeting when the issue was first brought before the board, teachers did speak publicly at the May 23 meeting. Estela Leidy, a Global Education kindergarten teacher, said, “Our opinion as Global Education teachers is that this is an unnecessary change.” Global Ed teachers Leigh Courtney and Jackie Durward also addressed the school board. Courtney said the teachers unanimously felt that the modified day best serves students and said, “Too little time was allocated to making this decision.” Durward said the modified day is an important aspect of the program.
RELIGION & spirituality
The final speaker, Christina Singhass, called herself the lone voice in favor of the change. Singhass, who has an incoming kindergarten student, said many parents support full day but are intimidated to speak out. “A lot of people support this change,” she said. Social justice issue Board members apologized for not including parents in the conversation and for the lack of timely communication by springing the decision on incoming families. “Communication failure was evident in this process,” Leib said. “This was not done in the right manner.” Some felt the main reason people reacted so strongly against the decision was the administration’s failure to engage teachers and parents in the discussion. Since the previous board meeting April 25 when trust-

Ten international finalists of the My Family Story International Competition will gather in Israel on June 13 to participate in the My Family Story Awards Ceremony at Beit Hatfutsot, the Museum of the Jewish People. What’s special about this year’s ceremony is that two of the finalists are fifth grade students at San Diego Jewish Academy – Gianni Mizrachi and Deryn Klein. “That two students from the same school have won is both impressive and unusual and confirms (SDJA’s) wonderful dedication to this project!” said D’vora Greisman Daniels of the International School for Jewish Peoplehood Studies at Beit Hatfutsot. In 1996, the first My Family Story International Competition was held at Beit Hatfutsot. In 2009, the Competition received the generous support of the Grosskopf family of Argentina, and now includes an exhibition of winnings works, an international gathering, and prizes including tickets to Israel for international winners – including Mizrachi and Klein. “This is great news!” exclaimed Shani Abed, Judaic curriculum coordinator at San Diego Jewish Academy’s Golda Meir Lower School. “What a great accomplishment to these two wonderful students!” The competition, which
Gianni Mizrachi and Deryn Klein provides a forum for students from Jewish communities around the world to come together to tell the story of the Jewish People, is just one aspect of a larger program. My Family Story is a comprehensive curriculum which provides Jewish students and teachers with the tools to join Jewish communities around the world in telling their stories and creating family history projects. In short, the curriculum offers a creative and hands-on methodology for teaching Jewish heritage, promoting the historical memory of the Jewish people and creating a sense of Jewish Peoplehood. In addition to students learning about their family history, they also learned about Israel. “I found out my great, great, great, great grandfather was the first Rabbi!” exclaimed Klein. The competition emerged from the My Family Story Roots Project, which is a creative/artistic presentation that represents the family story of the participants. Beit Hatfutsot encourages participating students to be creative and to find expression for all their ideas and talents in their Roots Projects. “I learned a lot because my brother entered the contest last year,” said Mizrachi. “But my favorite part was when my mother and I stayed up late at night working together.” All finalists will have their projects displayed on exhibition at Beit Hatfutsot. The exhibition will launch on the day of the final ceremony and will be open to the public for one month. For more information about San Diego Jewish Academy, visit www.sdja.com

Ashley Falls student wins title of Miss Pre-teen Earl Warren Spring Arts Festival to be held June 6 Majorette of North San Diego County 2013 BY KAREN BILLING Ashley Falls student Shireen Heidari recently twirled her way to the title of Miss Pre-teen Majorette of North San Diego County 2013. Shireen, an 11-year-old fifth grader at Ashley Falls, is talented and poised with a baton in hand, having started practicing the art of twirling when she was just 5 years old. Shireen got a handle on twirling naturally but she admits it isn’t easy. “You have to have a perfect angle when you toss it in the air,” Shireen said. “The hardest thing is twirling around and catching it.” She is working on a new trick where she completes two spins before catching the baton — right now she is working through a lot of baton drops until she gets it right. “My coach tells me if you drop it you just pick it up and keep smiling,” Shireen said. Shireen became interested in the activity through Chery Knapp, the director of admissions and operations at her old school, Country Montessori, who taught baton at the YMCA in Escondido and Rancho Penasquitos for over 30 years. Shireen takes class at the YMCA once a week and participates in competitions, racking up a table full of trophies in twirling, strut (marching) and modeling. In modeling, she has to walk with her feet in a certain position, be natural, smile a lot

Last year she was crowned Miss Majorette Jr. and this year she was on stage crowning the new winner when she heard her name called as the winner of Miss Pre-teen. “This time was a surprise, I was really shocked because there was another girl in my division who was really good,” Shireen said. “It’s always very exciting when she wins and I’m very happy but I always feel a little sad for the other girls,” her mom Constance said. “I wish everybody could win because they work really hard.” Twirlers move through the age divisions of Heartbreakers, Sweethearts, Diamonds and Dazzlers. The Dazzlers, the oldest group that toss fire batons, is Shireen’s ultimate goal. “The Dazzlers do amazing tricks that I feel I can never do but I tell myself if I keep going as I get older I’ll get a lot better,” Shireen said. This summer she will twirl in a show at a San Diego Padres game and in a Fourth of July parade in Escondido. In addition to twirling, Shireen also hones her acting skills with Scripps Performing Arts Academy, participating in several workshops and productions. The giant Miss Pre-teen Majorette trophy currently sits in her living room, so big it dwarfs Shireen. She will have to return it when her year is up but hopes to earn a new one to take its place.

Local women role models promote success at WIST Conference BY GLORIA LIMAS AN Entrepreneurism was one of the focus topics at this year’s Women In Science and Technology (WIST) conference held at the UCSD Faculty Club recently. Many local residents were among the event’s 300-plus attendees. A large percentage of participants come from the science, business and technology fields. The conference was presented by the local Association for Women in Science (AWIS) chapter which is the largest in the nation. The theme “Aspire, Attain, Ascend” was prevalent throughout the speeches and panel discussions. It was this type of function that led Carmel Valley entrepreneur Kim Lim to found her company, Ultimate Labs, five years ago. Lim served as a speaker at the WIST conference, sharing her trials and tribulations of starting your own business and the challenges women face in the world of entrepreneurism. She says her company has doubled yearly revenue from the onset and is currently in expansion mode, seeking to increase its facility size and expand its service offerings. Her microbiology laboratory is dedicated to helping save lives by providing environmental monitoring and microbial water and food testing to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and food industries. Ultimate Labs offers assistance in compliance and risk assessment, allowing companies to make better business decisions about product safety. When asked by conference participants if women face more challenges than men when starting their own business, Lim replied, “Traditionally, most women scientists are more comfortable doing the technical work and leaving the business acumen to the males who eventually move onto management. However, times are now changing with more women pursuing higher education in the form of master and Ph.D. degrees. They get their MBAs, understand how the business works, then start their own. The challenges are different, especially in science and technology, amongst the genders. I do believe there is a lack of women entrepreneurs.
L-R: Local residents and scientists Grace Nakayama, WIST committee chair; Barbara Bry, speaker and Athena founder; Kim Lim, speaker and Ultimate Labs CEO; Dorothy Sears, AWIS San Diego president. Photo Courtesy of Anita Iyer. Conferences such as WIST allow bright and innovative women to challenge themselves and realize that the risk is well worth the reward.” Speakers noted the obvious increase in female-owned local biotech businesses over the course of the last decade. They agree conferences like WIST ignite imagination and inspire women to pursue business ventures. Local business development consultant Jack Kelly, a principal at the Corlea Group, said, “WIST, I believe, goes beyond ‘girl power,’ it goes to women of accomplishment getting together and seeing the potential of others moving up in the industry. They see the opportunities and understand they don’t have to agree to the traditional industry barriers. What I see from a consulting perspective is a high degree of ambition and the willingness to collaborate. I think this is perhaps the most powerful factor. There is a distinctive difference between the traditional male and female model of leadership in that there is much more collaboration amongst women. This is
a proactive group, not a reactive group.” Members concluded that the stereotypical image of the “male scientist” is slowing transitioning to include more women on the team. Jacqueline Bergseid, a local scientist along with her husband, shared a thought-provoking gender story. She said her twin 7-year-old children, a boy and girl, innocently showed the typical gender career stereotype during a casual conversation. She said, “My daughter vocally expressed interest in being a scientist when she grows up and my son immediately shot her down saying he would be better at being a scientist since he was a boy and she a girl, of course implying that males are more fit for this profession.” She says these views are formed from the media and role models currently available in society. Adding, “I can’t draw lipstick on Galileo!” The attendees, speakers and panelists help change this stereotype, empowering females of all ages. Conference speaker and serial entrepreneur Barbara Bry is passionate about leveling the playing field for females in business, health care and politics. She is the founder of Athena, a life sciences organization. Bry said, “Role models along with mentors for women are critical for growth in the science and technology fields. Other guideposts for success include networking, being open to change, adapting and supporting fellow women in business endeavors.” UCSD’s Associate Dean of Engineering Jeanne Ferrante, said, “There have been studies conducted to show how the presence of females on scientific teams provides a diverse viewpoint leading to a higher percentage of success for programs and companies.” The WIST conference occurs every two years while a scholarship gala for outstanding female science students takes place on alternate years. AWIS, the hosting organization, is always in need of volunteers for the many monthly functions leading up the conference. More information can be found at www.awissd.org

Tale of four women explores life in modern India BY JOE TASH Friendship and lies. Idealism and desperation. Tradition and fundamentalism. These themes swirl through “The World We Found,” the latest novel by author Thrity Umrigar. The story centers on four women who attended college together in Bombay in the 1970s, then drifted apart as they married, had children and pursued careers. The four friends try to reconnect in middle age when one member of the group is diagnosed with a brain tumor, and her dying wish is a final reunion. Umrigar was the featured speaker at the May 20 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at The Grand Del Mar resort in Carmel Valley. A native of India, she immigrated to the United States at age 21 to attend graduate school at Ohio State University. After college, she worked as a journalist in Ohio for nearly two decades before launching a second career as a novelist. She now divides her time between writing and teaching creative writing at Case Western University in Cleveland. “The World We
Introducing...
Found,” which was published in 2012, is her fifth novel, and she has also published a memoir. A phone call from America sets the tone of the novel. Armaiti, one of the four friends, had moved to the U.S. long before, but she calls to let her old school pals know of her cancer diagnosis. The other three friends, Laleh, Kavita and Nishta, still live in Bombay. Laleh and Kavita set out to find Nishta, who has dropped out of their lives, to relay the bad news. The two friends reminisce about their college years, when they sought to change the world and marched in protests and rallies. “How her father used to scoff at her and Armaiti when they would talk about building a better country,” Laleh recalled. “’A new India?’ Rumi Madan would thunder at the dinner table after listening to the two teenagers talk matter-of-factly about the imminent revolution. ‘What do you girls think this is, a school play? What ‘new India’ are you two going to build? Darlings, if there is to be a new India, it will be built by the

Not by a couple of little girls pretending to be revolutionaries.’” Like her character, Umrigar fought her own battles with her father, who owned a factory that made wooden doors and windows. Bowing to her father’s wishes, she studied business in college, but she drew the line when her father wanted her to join the family business. Instead, she headed to America to study and carry out her dream of becoming a journalist. While her father taught her many valuable life lessons, when it came to her career choice, she said, “I’m very glad that was one battle I won and he did not.” Otherwise, she said, both father and daughter would have been miserable, and probably would not have enjoyed such a close relationship over the years. The idea for the novel came when Umrigar was on a visit to India in 2010, and she met a college friend she hadn’t seen for 25 years. Umrigar asked if the woman was
On Saturday, June 8, Ballet Arte Academy of Classical Ballet will perform “La Bayadere” at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre, at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Set in Royal India of the past, La Bayadere (the Temple Dancer) is a story of eternal love, mystery, fate and justice. The ballet was first performed by the Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1877, and was originally staged by the French choreographer Marius Petipa to the music of Ludwig Minkus. A scene from the ballet, known as the KIngdom of the Shades, is one of the most celebrated excerpts in all of classical ballet. Erlends Zieminch and Sara Viale, the directors of Ballet Arte Academy, cast all of their classical ballets using only students of the school. The advanced students take on the difficult choreography of the ballet’s principal characters and the younger students, beginning at 4 years of age, all have roles to dance. Adult students are also cast in all the productions. La Bayadere will delight the eye with exotic scenery and costumes and excite the spirit with beautiful music, choreography and dancing. Tickets at JCC Box Office: 858-362-1348 or on-line: www.lfjcc.org. The David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre is located at 4126 Executive Dr., La Jolla, CA 92037.

Del Mar school district honors legacy of longtime trustee Janet Lamborghini BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) honored and celebrated the memory of longtime trustee Janet Lamborghini, “a champion for children,” who passed away on May 5 at the age of 73. Board President Doug Rafner led the recognition of Lam- Janet Lamborghini borghini at the May 22 board meeting, reading comments submitted by DMUSD teachers and staff that knew her well. She was described as a “remarkable woman, so very bright and loving and giving.” “Janet was the ultimate advocate for education,” read one tribute. “She was always sincere in her support of our schools and her only agenda was the best education possible for all of our Del Mar students. She gave of herself completely and selflessly and was a tremendous asset to the children, teachers and community of Del Mar.” Lamborghini was on the DMUSD board for 16 years, leaving the board in 2008. She served as president several times and during a time of tremendous growth — when she joined the board in 1992 there were only three schools in the district, Carmel Del Mar had just opened and there were 45 employees and about 1,200 students. During her service, she saw the district swell from three to eight schools. Trustee Doug Perkins was the only current board member to serve with Lamborghini.
As he was “the new kid on the block,” he said Janet was gracious with her time, willing to take him under her wing and help him understand issues and protocols. Likewise, trustee Scott Wooden said when he was running for the board she gave him a lot of insight and wisdom. As a board member, she was described as “professional yet personable.” She had a passion for music and particularly enjoyed hearing the student choirs perform. Her background in science (she had a bachelor’s degree in biology from Bryn Mawr College and a Ph.D. in biology from Tufts University) helped in the planning and implementation of the Extended Studies Curriculum. She was a longtime parent volunteer in the schools, serving as a PTA president, the Geography Olympiad and math coach at Del Mar Heights, offering her “time and talents to tutor students even after her own children were no longer there.” She was also the Dollars for Scholars treasurer at Torrey Pines High School and during her tenure on the committee, there were several anonymous donations for scholarships that were later disclosed to be from Lamborghini herself. In 2011, the San Diego County School Boards Association honored Lamborghini as the Community Partner of the Year. As she stepped down in 2008, a City of San Diego resolution made it “Janet Lamborghini Day” in San Diego. “I’ve enjoyed many aspects of this job but the one I love the most was being a cheerleader for all the talented people who make this district the best,” Lamborghini said on her honorary day. A memorial service will be held for Lamborghini on June 29 at noon at El Camino Memorial Park in Sorrento Valley.
Del Mar Union School District ‘Teachers of the Year.’
Del Mar school district honors employees, volunteers The Del Mar Union School District board recognized its outstanding employees and volunteers of the year at its May 22 meeting. School site “Teachers of the Year” honored were: Christine Mazone from Ashley Falls; Wendy Wojtkowski from Carmel Del Mar; Regina Vargus from Del Mar Heights; Sandi Martinez from Del Mar Hills; Rebecca Jones from Ocean Air; Paris Esmaili from Sage Canyon; JJ Mokiao from Sycamore Rodge; and Summer Gurell from Torrey Hills. Vargus, the “dedicated, creative kindergarten teacher” who is also the president of the Del Mar California Teachers Association, was named the district’s “Teacher of the Year.” Classified “Employees of the Year” from each site included: Vicki Wehrley from Ashley Falls; Ann Hoffman from Carmel Del Mar; Tracy Berger from Del Mar Heights; Samantha Scholten from Del Mar Hills; Tien Nguyen from Ocean Air; Isauro Lopez from Sage Canyon; Kathy Pechtimaldjian from
Sycamore Ridge; Jason Billings from Torrey Hills; Patricia Liu from after-school programs; Kelly Templeton from the early childhood center; and Jonathon Guertin from the district office. Out of that group, Liu was named the district’s “Classified Employee of the Year.” Liu has been with the district for 12 years and was praised for her knowledge, skill and care in helping the preschool and afterschool programs earn a stellar reputation. The district also honored “Site Volunteers of the Year”: Clay Melugin from Ashley Falls; Kate Takahashi from Carmel Del Mar; Erica Halpern from Del Mar Heights; Juli Oh from Del Mar Hills; Svetlana Maric and JoLynn Sillick from Ocean Air; Joanne Fogel from Sage Canyon; Shelly Yeagar and Pam Hunter from Sycamore Ridge; and Shelby Wyandt from Torrey Hills. All of the honorees were treated to a bouquet of flowers, cake and coffee at the meeting and Mission Federal also awarded Vargus and Liu with gift bags and $200.

Rant with Randi: ‘Millennial generation Letters to the Editor/Opinion Del Mar Times lacking job interview skills’ Solana Beach Sun BY RANDI CRAWFORD Individual liberty is always the loser “Millennial generation lacking job interview skills.” Carmel Valley News This could be one of the more absurd stories I’ve read in a Also at the meeting referred to above, Re the new law unanimously passed by 3702 Via de la Valle Suite 202W Del Mar, CA 92014 858-756-1403

the Del Mar City Council, banning dogs from the children’s play area to the south of Powerhouse Park: Cheers for Lynn Gaylord who valiantly tried to bring some sanity to the consideration by saying that “most people consider their dogs part of the family.” But of course her argument was incompatible with the stated duty of our city council: To protect the public from every conceivable risk. Although I submit that (1) risk is an inherent in the living of any life and (2) the underlying need of our protectors is to control the lives of others and make them conform to their own. Exhibit A: The Prohibitionists who marshalled enough public support to pass the nation-wide law that after 15 years proved to be the most disastrous law ever adopted in this cherished “land of the free.”
the Del Mar City Council lowered the curfew hour for teens. But consider: 17-yearolds were able to volunteer their service during WW II and die for this country, and thousands did, but now they have to be off the streets at 10 p.m. Isn’t this not but another example of the police state in action? Our local and national governments are on a law-passing roll and the motive is always the same: To protect the public from itself. And individual liberty is always the loser. Stay tuned, and above all on guard, because the next new law may be aimed directly at you. Jim Donovan Del Mar

Socrates likened himself to a gadfly because he strung his students into thought. I would like to take a moment to thank all the folks that have responded to the Letters to the Editor on One Paseo. We can agree to disagree. Let us explore the concept of putting one’s name and reputation on the line regarding the outcome of a study or design. Never trust any statistical study without asking the basic questions: who did it, who paid for it, how was it done. Almost by definition, scientists and engineers must rely on complex computer algorithms to crunch data. The US Metrological Weather service predicted that Hurricane Sandy would not directly hit the Eastern seaboard while the “better” European computer was correct about the storm. What about the infamous search for Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq? Former Secretary of State Colin Powell presented the “facts” about WMDs, which were verified by both European and Israeli intelligence services. Peggy Noonan, in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, talks about the modern age of managers who are “smooth, highly credentialed, and unaccountable.” “They’re surrounded by legal and employment protections, they know how to parse a careful response, they know how to blur the essential point of a question in a blizzard of unconnected factoids.” The City of San Diego’s Development Services used a Series 10 system to calculate traffic volume, Average Daily Trips (ADT’s), and how mitigation(s) would affect future service. The next generation, System 11, is used by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to calculate transit needs in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan. Why did Development Services fail to upgrade to a “better” system? Remember the old adage, garbage in garbage out (GIGO). Trust but Verify! Finally, the two city traffic engineers presented different opinions about Kilroy’s Fair Share of mitigation cost and how the One Paseo project could proceed. One opinion is that once Kilroy writes the check to cover mitigation their obligations end regarding traffic issues. The other opinion is that after Phase One of One Paseo is completed future construction must wait until the actual mitigation has been funded and started. Which is it? Next Letter to the Editor will take up the issue of Mass Transit and One Paseo. I served as the San Diego North Coast regional representative to SANDAG’s 2050 RTP for over two and half years. Dennis Ridz, Chair, Torrey Pines Community Planning Board
while. At least I thought it was, until I sat back and really thought about it. Let’s look at our upbringing (those of us in our 40s). We had respect for our parents that was real and not fleeting because we “wanted” something. We got “dressed up” to go out with our family. We had to endure outings that were unpleasant, such as going to the ballet with our parents or watching our sibling in an all-day swim meet in the freezing cold. In fact, there was no “securing a play date” while our parents were doing errands that we wanted nothing to do with. If our mom went to the store, we all went to the store. If our mom went to the dry cleaners, we all sat in the back of the station wagon while she ran in to get the clothes. We didn’t scream at our mother (who was driving) to change the music on the radio to something that we wanted to hear, or to pop in a movie because we were getting bored. We were the kids, we knew our place, and we did what we were told. Period. (Don’t think I’m skipping over the fact that we were left alone in the car while our mother ran into the store, but that was then...what can I say)? I constantly question how and when this massive paradigm shift took place from the parent being in charge and calling the shots, to the child being the center of the universe. I don’t know one single person, myself included, who isn’t guilty of this shift. We shuffle our kids from one place to another, because we want them to be happy 100 percent of the time. God forbid they have one hour of “down time” and you haven’t scheduled an activity to fill that hour. And as much as we try to arrest the problem, for those of us that recognize the problem, we ultimately fall in line with our children’s expectations. Whenever I complain to my parents about how entitled my kids are becoming, they say the same thing: “Randi, if you are born into a home where your parents starve and beat you daily, that is all you will ever know. You will think that’s normal, and that everyone lives that way. If you are born into a family that does everything for you, that is all you will ever know. You will think that it’s normal to ask for a new MAC computer and get one. In other words, you (me) have created this environment and you have the power to change it.” When I read this USA Today article about the Millennial Generation, I experienced a visceral response. It scares the cra* p out of me to think that I could be raising children with that mentality because I’ve created it. In case you haven’t read the article yet, here’s a quick recap: The Millennial Generation are interviewing for jobs and find no problem with: •Talking or texting in the middle of the interview — what the? •Bringing their pet...double what the? •And bringing their parents, or having their parents call to negotiate their salary if they don’t agree with the initial offer? Can you imagine if this was your child? It’s insane, right? Now stop and take a good look at how you were raised by your parents. Next, take a look at how you are raising your children and ask yourself, “Is it really that far fetched to think that our kids have no clue that bringing their cell phone to a job interview (and using it), is that strange? I don’t know about all of you, but I’m ready for another massive swing on the pendulum...with a huge emphasis on one thing — respect! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Democrats in Rancho Santa Fe? BY GORDON CLANTON When I tell people I am associated with the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club, reactions are predictable: “Rancho Santa Fe Democrats: Isn’t that an oxymoron?” Or: “Isn’t that a contradiction in terms, like guest host, jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, business ethics, pretty ugly, and the living dead?” A critical biographer referred to John F. Kennedy as a master of “contrived casualness” and “planned spontaneity.” Shakespeare gives Romeo a speech that includes, “O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!/Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!/Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!” BTW: The word oxymoron is itself an oxymoron. It derives from the Greek oxus, meaning sharp or keen, and moros, meaning dull or stupid. The seldom-used plural of oxymoron is oxmora. This is useful information if you are ever a contestant on “Jeopardy” and the category is “Useless plurals.” Although the political contributions of the two Rancho Santa Fe ZIP codes (92067 and 92091) go overwhelmingly to Republicans, the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club is thriving. This is all the more remarkable in light of the fact that several North County Democratic clubs have come and gone over the years.
The RSF club was established in 2007. It now has about 100 members and a mailing list of about 400, with 60-70 people attending most meetings. The club was active in 2012 in the successful campaigns of Congressman Scott Peters, Supervisor Dave Roberts, SD Mayor Bob Filner and Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, state Senator Marty Block, and Assemblywoman Toni Atkins. Mayor Filner was the speaker at the May program. Senator Block will speak to the Club on Friday, June 21. Club meetings routinely attract elected officials, political candidates, and political junkies. Past speakers include now-Congressman Scott Peters, state Controller John Chiang (Full disclosure: He signs my paychecks!), state Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, and political scientist Carl Luna. You need not live in Rancho Santa Fe or Fairbanks Ranch to be part of this club. It also has members from Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, and surrounding areas. The official motto of the RSF Democrats is, “Bringing North County Together.” Paraphrasing the US Navy, I like the slogan, “A Regional Force for Good.” But my favorite motto is “Rancho Santa Fe Democrats: Not an oxymoron any more.” For information about the club and its programs, visit http://www.rsfdem.org/ Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail.sdsu.edu.

KINDERGARTEN continued from page 7 ees got an earful from speakers during public comment about the proposed change, Leib said he toured the program, spoke with the teachers, and called all 27 incoming kindergarten families to discuss the issue. Leib said about 75 percent supported the change to full day. Seven, however, were passionate and vehemently opposed. Some, he said, opposed the change because the teachers opposed it. Of the 27, he said 14 children were accepted into the Global Ed program automatically because they had older siblings already enrolled. So only 13 spots were open for lucky lottery winners. “This is a thoughtful decision we’re trying to make tonight,” said board member Debra Schade, who sympathized with those who said teachers “felt like their professionalism was not respected.” Acknowledging that “there were some missteps,” Schade nevertheless said, “I don’t believe full day is bad for kids.” A researcher by profession, Schade said increasing instructional minutes is a benefit, especially for lowincome and English learner students. She also found no evidence that a shortened kindergarten day was designed to be an integral part of the Global Education program. All the district’s kindergarten classes are full day, as is the district’s transitional kindergarten program for 4-year-olds. So the change provides consistency district-wide. Schade said kids will be getting more of their teachers and more time for school-wide events with the full day, so the decision is not taking anything away but enhancing the learning experience. Responding to a supporter of modified day who told the board, “You work for us,” Schade said, “I work for the kids.” By far, the equity issue was the overwhelming factor for board members. Leib said some people who support modified day told him that families who want full day kindergarten can go to another Solana Beach school. That’s unacceptable, he said. He said he can’t support a program that restricts access to a certain segment of the population. Everyone, he said, has the right to apply to Global Ed and receive the same educational opportunities as kindergartners at other SBSD schools. It’s a social justice issue, with legal ramifications if not open to all, he said. “There are groups of people not opting into the
May 30, 2013 program because the program is modified,” he said after the meeting. Latino families he spoke with said their kids need more English and they want full day. To say they should just go to another school and stay away from this program is discriminatory. “That’s totally unfair and open to challenge and makes program very vulnerable,” he said. For disadvantaged or Spanish-speaking kids, “full day makes a difference,” he said. “There is significant improvement for Latino kids in full day.” Board member Vicki King said equal instruction time for all kids is the main issue, and “I haven’t been able to get past that.” Board member Jeff Busby said he was concerned about letters from parents saying they support full day but were intimidated about speaking out publicly. “We need to bridge that gap,” he said. Others also commented on ending divisive feelings. “Everyone has good intentions,” said board member Julie Union. “I want us to be united.” “I hope that whatever is decided all will embrace,” King said. In a statement provided after the meeting, Leib wrote, “Some parents opted not to speak at the meeting because they didn’t think this was the way to introduce themselves to their fellow parents and teachers, given that this was such a contentious issue.” “I am confident that now that this decision has been made, both sides will work together for the best interest of our kids,” he said. In an interview after the meeting, Leib said, “The modified-day people feel like they got bullied into this, and the full-day proponents feel bullied into silence.” Although teachers preferred the modified day, Leib was confident the full day program will be implemented well. “Teachers have always been very supportive of the final decision,” he said. “It’s a tough issue,” said Leib, but the change to full day is “the right thing to do and it will strengthen the Global program.” Parents integral to decision Opponents of full day were polite and resigned. “It is what it is,” said Ariel Haas. “You share your views and then people are going to make their decision.” Although he said he’d prefer the modified day, he accepts the half-year compromise. “It’s sort of an in-between of what we wanted and what we didn’t want,” he said. “We’re very happy with the program. You can’t have everything perfect.” He said the speeches in favor of maintaining the modified day were powerful and moving. “I thought there’s no way they can’t listen,” he said, of the board. “How do you not listen to the founder who designed the program?” Haas said he felt the board came into the meeting with their minds already made up. “I feel like the speeches … didn’t really have any effect on them,” he said. “While I am disappointed in the board’s decision, I hope that the board and the superintendent now understand how integral parents are in the day-to-day operation of the Global Education program and how important it is to include them in decisions regarding the program,” said Sara Appleton-Knapp. “I look forward to working with the board in the future should the need for changes in the Global Education program arise.” Appleton-Knapp applauded board members for the time they devoted to understanding the issue and said they are to be commended. Alison Wishard Guerra, mother of an incoming Global kindergarten student, was pleased with the decision to adopt a full-day program. Wishard Guerra. a researcher and assistant professor in the Education Studies department at the University of California San Diego, works with the Solana Beach Head Start program and low-income dual language learning children and has studied whether full-day kindergarten is in the best interests of children. “When there is a high-quality kindergarten program with teachers who form trusting relationships with kids and create a language-rich environment, there is no question that a full-day program in this environment is better,” she said in an email. “Those who argue that parents have a ‘choice’ not to choose Global are discriminating against families who really need full-day instruction. That is not a choice; that is the lack of a choice.” She said Global Ed should not be available only to parents “who have the means and inclination to pick up their children at 1:15 p.m., to negotiate additional child care arrangements, and to augment their children’s academic learning through out-of-school enrichment activities and structured learning activities in the home.” Wishard Guerra said the reason there were few public speakers supporting full-day kindergarten was out of fear “that they (we) would be going against the teachers whom a
PAGE 19
few vocal parents appear to be representing. As an incoming parent the last thing one wants to do is get on the teacher’s bad side or hurt her in any way.” She said she was impressed the board took time to hear each parent’s voice. “Many districts would never give so much time and attention to carefully listening to oppositions to their decisions,” she said. “They are wonderful,” said SDBD’s Lynch, of her board. “They absolutely have their focus on the things that are truly important to moving our district forward.” It was impressive. Five board members stood up for equity and courageously refused to acquiesce to a roomful of eloquent and determined parents and teachers. And they did it in a way that acknowledged mistakes, begged forgiveness and honored those who disagreed with them. You don’t see that every day. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.
DM’s Nick Cole joins Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego Board of Trustees Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego recently welcomed several new board of trustees members to guide the organization on its mission to provide supportive services, including food and lodging, to families with a critically ill or injured child being treated at a local hospital. “The Ronald McDonald House depends on hundreds of volunteers to serve thousands of meals each week and keep the 47-bedroom facility running smoothly, and it relies on a handful of dedicated individuals to provide guidance as members of the board of trustees,” said Doug Dawson, chair of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego board of trustees. “Our board has recently expanded and we’re delighted to have visionary philanthropists and unstoppable business minds join the team.”

Among the new trustees is Del Mar’s Nick Cole, an executive vice president in the Corporate Banking group at Wells Fargo, where he is responsible for the Restaurant and Casino Gaming Finance divisions. With 17 years in corporate and investment banking, Cole doesn’t just bring business knowledge to the
charity, but a dedication to its cause. Cole has a history of volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House and has served meals to guests in the Family Care Center, helping to alleviate some of the day-to-day stress that comes with having a seriously ill or injured child in the hospital. “Each member of our board of trustees dedicates their time, talent and resources to our House, enabling us to focus on how we may best serve the families who need us,” said Chuck Day, president and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. “This group of individuals has a range of knowledge and experience to bring to the table and we look forward to learning from them for years to come.” To learn more, visit www.rmhcsd.org.

INDIA continued from page 11 the novel, a Muslim man named Iqbal, who married Nishta, a Hindu and one of the four friends. Nishta’s family disowned her after the marriage, and Iqbal’s embrace of religious fundamentalism — and accompanying maltreatment of his wife — is one of the key plotlines. When Laleh and Kavita visit Nishta and ask her to travel to America with them to see the dying Armaiti, Iqbal forbids Nishta to make the trip, and goes as far as to confiscate her cell phone so her friends can’t call her. Although India is evolving in many ways,
from its economic life to its social mores, it remains a traditional culture, where children, even adults, accede to the wishes of their parents, and men hold antiquated ideas about women, Umrigar said. “India is stuck between modern values and Victorian values,” she said. Other themes of the book include the willingness of people to violate their own core beliefs to get what they want, and the way that youthful idealism gives way to weary pragmatism as we age. Umrigar compared the personal evolution of her characters to the fiery struggles of the civil rights and women’s movements in the United States in the ‘60s and ’70s, which transformed to a more inward-
looking focus by the ‘80s and ’90s. “That daily grind of life, what you have to do to earn a living, it begins to wear you down,” she said. Also at the Literary Society meeting, the winners of the group’s annual essay contest were announced: Kirsten Waltz won first place, Kira Elliott took second, and Annie Goodstein placed third. All three students are juniors who attend San Dieguito Academy. The three students won cash prizes, Kindles and gift cards. The Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society is sponsored by Northern Trust, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and this newspaper.

Q&A
CCA student awarded $5,000 Don Diego Scholarship Canyon Crest Academy senior Scott Jacobson has been awarded a $5,000 college scholarship from the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation, the nonprofit arm of the San Diego County Fair. He and the other three 2013 scholarship recipients will be recognized at the Don Diego Steve Miller Band Scott Jacobson Dinner and Concert Gala taking place on June 15 at the Fair. Tickets are available at www. dondiegoscholarship.org. Don Diego Chair Paul Ecke III reports, “In a year with a record number of applicants and three strong finalists in the highly competitive 4H category, Scott’s academic excellence, public speaking skills, 4H achievements – including a blue ribbon at the Fair for every animal shown over the last 10 years – and, not least of all, his ambition to succeed and passion for animals, made the selection committee’s choice apparent.” Adding to Scott’s demonstrated excellence on all levels is an incredible drive to do his best under all circumstances. Graduating with a 3.48 GPA, Scott confides, “I was diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD at an early age, but my mom never let me use this as an excuse to not do well in school and set goals. I attended several hours a week of special tutoring through junior high so I could to learn to overcome and adapt to these disabilities rather than succumb to them.” Today, Scott’s goals are focused on pursuing a degree in agricultural/animal science at the University of Wyoming at Laramie. He says, “I want to combine my passion for livestock and exotic animals, encouraging governments around the world to develop conservation programs that allow exotics and livestock to co-exist.” Scott developed a love of livestock at an early age; indeed, he quips, “Since before I was born. I literally grew up in the Fair’s Livestock Department where my mother, Kim Jacobson, was Livestock Coordinator.” He gained a deep knowledge of exotic animals on a trip with his mother to Costa Rica that was designed to show Howler and Spider monkeys, Camens, Three Toed Sloths, Poison Dart Frogs and other exotics in their natural habitat. With excitement, Scott recalls the trip’s highlight: “a night excursion to observe the Green Sea Turtle exit the ocean, dig a hole and lay her eggs.” Scott says,” I was stoked to learn I won the scholarship. I’ve known about Don Diego all my life. I’ve read about students who won, but I never dreamed it might be me.” Adults who have watched Scott’s progress with pride are delighted but not surprised. In their letter of recommendation, his Terra Bella Ranch employers, Jeff and Nicolina Alves, wrote, “Scott embodies the qualities of the late and respected Tom Hernandez [AKA Don Diego] and the values that the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation is looking for. Like the appeal of the Don Diego Statue, smiling and welcoming with hat in hand, Scott Jacobson is a shining symbol of the quality young leader you desire to represent your Fair community.” For more information, please visit www.dondiegoscholarship.org
‘Game On!’ for San Diego County Fair Event opens June 8, promises mix of new features, old favorites BY DIANE Y. WELCH It’s “Game On!” for the anticipated opening June 8 of the San Diego County Fair, announced CEO and General Manager Tim Fennell. “Are you ready?” he asked at last week’s preview news conference. Loved for all things fun, deep-fried and festive, the fair’s 24-day run is packed with entertainment, events and exhibitions for the entire family and opens June 8 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The 2013 s e a s o n ’s theme is centered on games spotlighting nostalgic board games and card games, along with the evolution of games through to the hightech video games of today, said Finnell. There are plenty of attractions and exhibits, games galore, and, of course, new fair fare including Chicken Charlie’s deep fried cookie dough; Temecula wine country grilled cheese sandwiches; Krispy Creme Sloppy Joes; lobster sliders and nachos; wild boar bacon kabobs; and bacon cotton candy. For bacon lovers, the smokey rashers will take center stage this year on Father’s Day, June 16, with the Big Bite Bacon Fest in the Del Mar Arena where you can eat bacon “’til the cows come home,” Finnell said. This “bacon paradise” will showcase unlimited samples of bacon cuisine from county- area chefs, restaurants and competitive cooks. To help the bacony goodness go down, craft beer from some of the top breweries in San Diego will provide the perfect pairing.

CCA Outreach Club brings joy of dance to elementary school students
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANE Y. WELCH Four years ago when Mercedes Forster was a freshman at Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) she had the idea to share her passion for dance and to give back to her community by teaching dance classes to elementary school children. It was an idea born from both an influence of a being raised in a “very giving family” and being immersed in an excellent arts program, she said. “I felt so fortunate to come to CCA where they have Envision, a brilliant arts education program and the more intense conservatory program. Then I began to think about other schools that just don’t have any funding for the arts. And I thought that I could do something to help.” Mercedes approached her dance teacher, Rayna Stohl, dance director at CCA, about the concept. Stohl told Mercedes, “Go for it!” she said. After the logistics were formulated and adult chaperones made available, Mercedes founded Outreach Club with Genna McGrath, Bora Yoon, Guillermo Castro and Chloe Chelf. This class enabled CCA students to take time out of the school day to teach second graders off campus. Karen Curl – the mother of Emily Curl, a CCA dance conservatory alumni – who is a second

grade teacher at Pioneer Elementary School in Escondido, agreed to take the necessary steps to secure the permissions to allow high school students to teach at the school. The elementary school’s students are predominantly English as a second language (ESL) learners and use a program called Total Physical Response (TPR), which teaches English vocabulary
in a tangible, physical way. Dance fit perfectly into this method, said Curl, and evidence shows that the students’ test scores have improved since TPR has been integrated into their curriculum. To showcase the second graders’ new-found dance skills, a music video was shot which brought in CCA students from cinema conservatory. Used in the
video is the music of Alex Kajitani, famed for his math rap videos that teach mathematic vocabulary. When the video is completed it may be viewed on Kajitani’s website. Curl said her students were very excited about the dance classes with the CCA students. “I saw some boys, in the beginning who were very hesitant, but as
time went on they really looked forward to the sessions.” The elementary school is in a high poverty area, said Curl, “And because dance is an art form that you can do without having a lot of money it is perfect for our kids.” This was one of the main reasons why Mercedes chose that school. “I wanted to bring it to kids who really have no other option,” she said. The program has been a source of deep satisfaction for Mercedes who said that she loves interacting with the students, many of whom come from stressful households. “I get a lot of joy out of thinking that I can come in for one day a week and help them have fun, relax, unwind and express who they are.” Outreach Club will continue its partnership with Pioneer next year with Guillermo Castro as the leader. Mercedes will attend UC Berkeley in the fall, where she plans to double major in dance and biology. Madison Rhodes, Alyssa Cochran and Lissette Argoud were other CCA students who participated in the club, which is thriving. “There is talk about it expanding to all of the art forms at CCA,” said Stohl. The music video featuring the Pioneer Elementary School students will be online soon at www.alexkajitani.com

Family recipes make for Double Happiness BY KELLEY CARLSON he name of Del Mar’s most established Chinese restaurant, Double Happiness, apparently has double meaning. According to owner Deguo Li, it received its moniker for the two cooking styles it uses — Mandarin and Szechwan. The former is characterized by its yin-and-yang method (sweet with sour, crispy with smooth) with contrasts of aromas and colors; the latter features bold and spicy flavors, prominently using ingredients such as ginger and peanuts. But it seems the establishment’s name also applies to the general mood of the staff and customers. “Every day, all day, we’re happy,” Li said with a smile. One reason could be the calming atmosphere. The tone is set with soft, relaxing music tinged with Asian influences. Large paintings (some with bold accents and others with muted tones) grace the

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.
■ This week’s recipe: Double Happiness’ Lemon Sauce for Chicken walls of the dining room, depicting nature scenes with birds, butterflies, fish, and flora and fauna. Flowers serve as accents and wooden lanterns carved with Chinese
symbols cast a golden glow while suspended from bamboo poles that crisscross the ceiling. The covered patio has a festive touch, with its large, red balloon-style lanterns and lights strung along the windows, yet it’s still quietly casual. Another cause for customers’ content: Many of the dishes are prepared from family recipes and are pleasing to palates, as quite a number of patrons have become loyal fans through the years. Dedicated customers have faithfully lauded Double Happiness, which has subsequently won awards from publications throughout the area, including Readers’ Choice honors for Best Chinese by Del Mar Times readers. Among the favorites are Fried Dumpling Pot Stickers, which are thick and filled with meat; the Hunan Beef, centered on top of a bed of rice and encircled by broccoli; Honey Walnut Shrimp with sweet and nutty flavors; and Buddha’s Delight, a vegetable medley of pea pods, cabbage, broccoli, baby
corn, carrots and mushrooms, lightly covered with a stir-fry sauce. Other popular dishes include the Crispy Garlic Shrimp, Orange Peel Chicken, and the Double Happiness (Shrimp and Scallop) served on a sizzling platter. Dishes can be adjusted upon request, and portions are ideal for family-style dinners. Smaller, all-inclusive meals are offered from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, in the form of lunch specials. The Luncheon Deluxe is served with an entree, fried rice, an egg roll, a wonton and a fortune cookie. “We want people to come for the fresh food and fresh quality,” Li said. During the summer, Double Happiness hosts much of the racetrack crowd, some of whom may notice a photo of popular former racehorse Lava Man autographed by jockey Corey Nakatani near the doorway. Both locals and tourists alike find its location convenient in the Del Mar Village area, only a few blocks from the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Former naval officer opens dental practice — Schaffer Dental Excellence — in Carmel Valley BY CATHERINE KOLONKO A new dentist in Carmel Valley has taken over an established local practice that now offers dental treatment to both adults and children. In February, Dr. Robert Schaffer moved into the Carmel Valley dental office formerly occupied by Dr. Paul Gimby. Though he retired, Gimby will continue to work at the office one day a week to encourage a smooth transition for current patients, Schaffer said. “My practice philosophy is to have a warm, family-friendly practice,” said Schaffer, whose office, Schaffer Dental Excellence, is located at 12750 Carmel Country Road, Suite 205, San Diego, 92130. “I really like transforming people’s smiles. That’s one of the main reasons I got into dentistry. I felt when people smile, they’re happier, they feel better and I love that.” A former naval officer who served in Afghanistan, Schaffer most recently was a partner in a group practice in North Carolina. One of
Dr. Robert Schaffer the reasons he decided to go into his own practice was a desire to spend more time with patients, he said. “It allows me time to sit down with the patients and have real conversations with them…to get to know them and what they expect from me and for their smile and their dental health.” Schaffer knows some people have anxiety about dentists so making them feel
comfortable is a priority. He sends a letter to all his patients explaining what to expect during an office visit. After a dental procedure, he likes to personally follow up with each patient. He joked that often patients are surprised to get his telephone call and some joke that they wondered if they forgot to pay the bill. Schaffer Dental Excellence offers general dentistry with expertise in orthodontics, root canal therapy, oral surgery and a variety of whitening treatments and cosmetic procedures. The practice previously only saw adult patients so Schaffer has equipped the office with child-friendly tooth brushes and fun toys and stickers to welcome child patients. The son of a U.S. Marine, Schaffer was born at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and returned to the military base as an adult when he joined the U.S. Navy. During a stint in Afghanistan as a triage officer in a Marine combat zone, Shaffer treated Marines, as well as members of the Afghanistan National Army.
practice is…and we really want to be a big part of the community.” More information
“It made me realize I was more than just a dentist and that the world was bigger than just what I had experienced,” said Schaffer about his time in the Middle East. He also participated in humanitarian efforts in remote villages, mostly conducting dental extractions. Part of the outreach involved teaching children about oral health care “They really were never exposed to anything like toothpaste or tooth brushes, believe it or not,” Schaffer said. After his tour in the Middle East, Schaffer was stationed in San Diego. When he left the Navy, he and his wife moved back east while his wife was pregnant with their first child. After a few years, they realized how much they wanted to return to California. “We were dying to get back to San Diego,” said Schaffer, who recently relocated from North Carolina with his wife, Danielle, and their three young children. “We decided to move and live in Carmel Valley because that’s where the

First Thursdays courts ‘the blues’
T
he Del Mar Foundation’s Cultural Arts Committee recently presented Billy Watson and the International Silver String Submarine Band. The band’s harmonica-driven blues show is designed to create a humorous and entertaining experience while paying tribute to the legends that created the music. Watson’s “philosophy of the blues” recognizes that blues music can be “lowdown” since it was created by people looking for a way to forget their blues by telling their stories through song, but in the end it’s all about having some fun, dancing, Billy Watson and the International Silver String Submarine Band and forgetting about your worries. Watson received his bachelor’s with Donna Shaw of fine arts in graphic design from the School of Visual Arts New York City, and decided to travel West to experience the lifestyle of Southern California, where he found random work painting surfboards, fabricating signs, and life guarding. As an artist, he reports that his work evokes responses ranging from praise to laughter to vandalism. With Watson, it’s unclear which response he considers to be the highest form of praise! He is an entertainer for sure! First Thursdays is a production of the Cultural Arts Committee of the Del Mar Foundation. For more information, log onto www.delmarfoundation.org. — Tanys Evangelisti

Some gustatory gifts for the college-bound graduate The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Concerned parents of college-bound grads want some culinary guidance for their kitchen-phobic kids. Here’s a primer to help put the skids on the Freshman 15, and disastrous dorm eating habits in general, with some student-friendly gadgets and simple, healthful recipes to fuel the brain and the brawn. Study Buddies College students would welcome a collection of kitchen gizmos to simplify meal preparation, and produce food and beverages to fortify and keep them alert. Start with an espresso maker for a ‘round the clock pickme-up (especially during mid-term and finals weeks). The coffee bean is an antioxidant warrior packed with vitamins and minerals, and brain-friendly caffeine, the latter linked to boosting short-term memory, increasing focus and problem solving skills. For teetotalers, do a stainless steel electric teakettle for invigorating brews.
Other good choices include an air popcorn maker for high fiber, light snacks, a panini press to whip up hearty, protein-packed grilled sandwiches for lunches and dinners, a powerful smoothie blender that can handle frozen and uncut fruits for a dose of antioxidant phytonutrients, and a sieve that attaches to a pot’s lip for easy draining and straining pasta and veggies instead of a colander. Ramen Review Ramen noodles, a dorm staple for decades now comes in organic and GMO-free versions. For an antioxidant boost when the immune system gets a little ragged from exam cramming and all-nighters, toss in broccoli florets, green and red pepper slices, shredded cabbage and a squirt of lemon juice. For some new twists, crush raw noodles and sprinkle on mandarin chicken or green salads for a crispy crunch, or blend cooked noodles with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese for an Italian riff, peanut sauce for a take on Thai, a yoghurt dill sauce for a Mediterranean flavor or prepare traditionally with your favorite healthy protein (deepsea scallops, wild shrimp, organic chicken breast). Spam Protection Another dorm delight, this canned classic gets its name from its blended “Spicy Ham� ingredients--a gelatinous chunk of pig shoulder combined with salt, sugar and sodium nitrite. For die-hard Spam fans there’s better versions, including Spam Lite with 33 percent fewer calories and 50 percent less fat, Low
Sodium Spam, and Oven Roasted Turkey Spam made from turkey breast with the lowest fat and sodium content, making this one the healthiest Spam alternative. Pot (and Pan) Heads Dorm kitchens should be outfitted with stainless steel or copper pots and pans, which are the safest and best conductors of heat. Non-stick surfaces like the trademarked Teflon brand can release toxic substances into the food when the surface becomes scratched. Iron skillets also leach the mineral into the vittles, which can be dangerous for carnivores who already have an abundance of iron in their bodies. Crash Cooking Course I’d like to share some of my quick-fix recipes with minimal ingredients and simple methodology, ideal for busy, pre-occupied college students. These meals ago-go get an “A� in my cookbook. Express Eggplant Caviar 1 large eggplant 2 Persian cucumbers, diced 1/2 small red onion, diced 1 Roma tomato, diced Juice from half a lemon 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil Sea salt and black pepper to taste Preheat oven to 375 F. and place the eggplant on a cookie sheet. Pierce with a fork and bake until tender. Cool and scoop out the flesh. Puree in a blender and add remaining ingredients. Serve with pita chips or
Middle Eastern flat bread. Quickie Shrimp Skewers (serves 2) 12 raw, jumbo, wild shrimp, peeled 12 whole mushrooms 1 red pepper, cut in squares 1 red onion, cut in chunks Juice from one lemon 2 tablespoons of olive oil Sea salt, garlic powder to taste Marinate shrimps and veggies in juice, oil and seasonings for one hour. Alternate shrimp and vegetables on skewers. Grill until the shrimp are firm and vegetables tender. Serve over wholewheat couscous. Five-Minute Marinara 1 28-ounce can of diced or plum tomatoes 3 tablespoons of tomato paste
2 large garlic cloves, minced A handful of fresh flatleaf Italian parsley, coarsely chopped 3 tablespoons olive oil Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste In a medium saucepan, heat the oil and sautĂŠ the garlic until soft. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over your favorite pasta or chicken dish. Freeze in ice cube trays and use as desired. Veggie Pizza Quesadilla 2 flour tortillas 4 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese 4 tablespoons marinara sauce 1/2 sweet red pepper, diced 6 black olives, sliced 4 white mushrooms, sliced 2 tablespoons olive oil
Spread sauce on the tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Top with desired veggies and fold over. In a skillet, heat oil on medium and pan-fry the “pizzas� until crisp and cheese is melted. For additional quickie recipes email kitchenshrink@ san.rr.com.

The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe now welcoming Junior members Local golfers under the age of 40 have a unique opportunity to join The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe in a new membership category. For a limited time, individuals under the age of 40 may join the club as Junior golf members, entitled to the same use privileges as Equity golf members. The current initiation fee for Junior members is $35,000. Junior golf members will also pay reduced monthly dues, commensurate with their age. “The idea of giving a price break to younger golfers has been percolating for years, so we finally put it to a vote,” said General Manager Sean McCune. “Our longtime members are excited to welcome a new generation of golfers into the club.” The Bridges Club is currently ranked as the best in San Diego and the 15th among top golf venues in California by Golf Digest magazine. In January, the practice facility was honored as one of the “Top 50 Ranges” for a private facility in the United States by the Golf Range Association of America. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., this iconic North San Diego Country Club
is famous for its signature collection of unusually engineered and beautiful bridges, including the two 285-foot-long stress-ribbon bridges that span dramatic ravines, 85 feet in the air. Since opening in 1999, the 6,965-yard championship course has hosted such prestigious events as The Battle at the Bridges, a nationally-televised skins game that attracted the likes of Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods. Golf membership at The Bridges includes privileges at a new $5 million Tennis & Recreation Centre as well as a state-ofthe-art Sports Centre. With 11 unique menus served at four dining facilities, The Bridges puts a premium on the culinary arts. This summer, The Bridges will host the American Junior Golf Association’s 2013 Wyndham Cup, an annual team competition that attracts the nation’s top 40 junior golfers in an East-versus-West team match play tournament. For more information, contact Gordon Cooke at 858-756-8055.
