Local schools among those named California Distinguished Schools By City News Service The state Department of Education recently named 35 elementary schools around San Diego County as California Distinguished Schools. The locally honored elementary schools are: •Carmel Del Mar, Del Mar Heights and Ocean Air in the Del Mar Union School District; •Solana Pacific in the Solana Beach School District. Ocean Beach Elementary also received an award for its arts education program, while Del Mar Heights was separately honored for its physical activity and nutrition program. They are among 424 public elementary schools honored statewide for commitment and innovative approaches to improving student academic achievement. The program focuses on students’ right to an equitable and rigorous education, and recognizes schools that have made progress in narrowing the academic achievement gap. See SCHOOLS, Page AA3

San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy seeks public feedback on restoration project Del Mar welcomes By Kristina Houck The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy recently launched an online survey to gather feedback from the community about its planned large-scale restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon. Currently in the final planning phase of the project, the conservancy plans to release its environmental impact report in the summer. As the organization approaches the release of the report, it plans to hold public meetings as well as meetings with local community groups to discuss the project, said Doug Gibson, executive director of the conservancy. The eight-question survey, which closes May 17, asks participants if they are likely to attend public meetings and what topics should be addressed at the meetings. “We’re a community-based organization, so we really are

counting on the community to come out and talk to us about this,” said Gibson, who first joined the conservancy in 1996. Founded in 1987, and headquartered in Solana Beach, the conservancy is a nonprofit land trust and the premier stewardship organization for San Elijo Lagoon. “We want their insight. We need to make sure that we get ev-

erybody’s viewpoint and that we take everybody’s concepts and think about them in a bigger picture.” Owned and managed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife, County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation, and San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, the 979-acre reserve is located between Encinitas and Solana Beach, extending inland to Rancho Santa Fe. After 17 years of research and planning, Gibson said it is time for the large-scale restoration of the lagoon, which hosts more than 700 species of plants and animals, many rare and endangered. In need of restoration due to sedimentation and water pollution from historical and current infrastructure, such as Interstate 5, a restored wetland would re-es

By Kristina Houck To improve the quality of life for residents of all ages in Solana Beach’s Eden Gardens community, local teens held a town hall forum on underage drinking April 30 at North Coast Fellowship. Members of La Colonia Changers, a group of teens trying to make positive changes in Eden Gardens, discussed why underage drinking is a problem, how it impacts the community and what members of the public can do about it. “We wanted to put on this event to create awareness about underage drinking,” said Jorge Linares, a member of La Colonia Changers and a freshman at Torrey Pines High School. “We have seen minors drinking in the community. We want that to change.” After a brief introduction by the youth group, the two-hour event kicked off with a Spanish language video about underage drinking. Following the video, Nancy Logan of the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth talked about the dangers of driving and drinking. A 19-year-old drunk driver hit and killed her husband. At 27 years old, she became a single mother to a 1-year-old. Deputy Sheriff Henry Tirado also spoke about the law and local ordinances. “They’ve worked really hard,” said Sal Garcia, Friday Night Live program coordinator. “This has been all their ideas; we’ve just been helping make sure it happens.” A program of the San Diego County Office of Education, Friday Night Live works with youth to promote positive youth leadership opportunities free of alcohol, tobacco, drugs and violence. Friday Night Live, San Dieguito Alliance and La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation sponsors La Colonia Changers, the local chapter of Friday Night Live. See FORUM, Page AA3

Construction could start at the end of 2015 or beginning of 2016, and is expected to take about two and a half years, he added. “We’ve got historical insight into the lagoon. We’ve been monitoring it for a very long time,” Gibson said. “The complexity and the functions the wetlands have are critical in terms of filtering pollutants coming down the watershed, providing fish habitat for nurseries in the ocean — all these beneficial uses that we get out of wetlands can be improved from where we’re at today. “As a conservation organization, our mission is to preserve and protect this system, and when possible,

to enhance it to its best ability.” For more information about the project or the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, visit www.sanelijo.org.

treatment to children around the world

Randy Woods the group’s missions. According to the group’s web site, in the early 1980s, then First Lady Nancy Reagan appealed to the movie industry to help provide heart surgery for two children she brought to the United States. This inquiry led Hassanein and his friends, Joseph Sinay and Morton Sunshine, to launch Children’s Lifeline. Hassanein will turn 93 in May, but is still passionate about helping poor children in developing nations receive medical care, Woods said. “What I so admire about him, even though he struggles to draw a breath and to walk, is he’s so determined to help these children. I hope when I’m his age, I can do half as much,” said Woods, 62. Woods also tipped his hat to the medical professionals who often use their vacation time to undertake the surgical missions. In spite of how hard they work at their jobs, he

said, “they’re willing to go and work even harder and under more challenging conditions than in the U.S.” One of those doctors is Paul Grossfeld, a friend of Woods’ and resident of Carmel Valley. Grossfeld is a pediatric cardiologist at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, and has been participating in annual medical missions to a children’s hospital in Siem Reap, Cambodia, for the past eight years. The physicians perform a procedure to correct a congenital heart defect — related to a blood vessel that does not close properly after birth — which leads to a high mortality rate, said Grossfeld. They have also taught doctors and nurses in Cambodia to perform the procedure, thus expanding care to even more children. For the past two years, Grossfeld said, they have also performed open heart surgery during their trips. Grossfeld got involved following a family vacation to Thailand and Cambodia, when his wife, Susan, arranged a visit to the Siem Reap hospital. Since then, his wife has handled logistics for the missions, while he works on the medical end of things. “She’s been the driving force behind this. It wouldn’t happen without her,” Grossfeld said.

TPHS Junior Optimist Club successfully collects over 500 pairs of shoes for donation By Namu Sampath, Club Secretary This April, the Torrey Pines High School Junior Optimist Octagon International (JOOI) club launched a drive to collect shoes for the Donate Your Old Shoes Charity. More than 500 pairs of shoes were collected from the Carmel Valley neighborhood in a span of a month and delivered to Donate Your Old Shoes with the help of the JOOI Club at Canyon Crest Academy. Donate Your Old Shoes is a recognized 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization that distributes slightly used shoes to citizens of Honduras, Philippines, Guinea, Zimbabwe, Nicaragua, Liberia and many other countries. The TPHS JOOI was founded in October 2013, and since then has run many successful activities, such as a warm clothing drive for a North County homeless shelter, collection of holiday gifts for foster kids, and a “make-and-donate sandwiches” project for the homeless. They are sponsored by the Del Mar/Solana Beach Optimist Club, with Gwen Robinson as their advisor.

By Joe Tash Roughly every 14 days, a crew of doctors, nurses and other medical personnel takes off from the United States to different developing nations around the world, with the purpose of performing life-saving operations on sick children. The missions are sponsored by Children’s Lifeline International, a Solana Beach-based nonprofit founded in 1982. Randy Woods, a Rancho Santa Fe pharmaceutical executive, has supported the group’s work for a number of years, and he remains a strong advocate. “I want to try to help these children, who hopefully will have a long life ahead of them, and live productive lives, if they can just fix these (medical) issues,” said Woods. “With this organization, the money people contribute goes to directly helping these children. It saves lives.” The group’s annual fundraising gala and celebration is set for May 10 at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego.

Bull Taco to open in Del Mar

By Kristina Houck A popular taco shop is headed to Del Mar. Plans for a downtown Bull Taco will move forward after the Del Mar City Council declined to set an appeal for a de novo public hearing regarding the applicant’s participation in Del Mar’s in-lieu parking fee program. Because the proposed restaurant site was previously used as office space, Adam Birnbaum, the city’s planning manager, explained a change from office to restaurant is an “intensification of use,” which triggers a requirement for more parking. George Conkwright, the owner of the building at 1201 Camino del Mar, had several options to satisfy the parking requirement, including valet parking, shared parking, off-site parking and in-lieu fees, which is paid to the city for use in constructing public

parking. In March, he applied for the city’s in-lieu parking fee program, which staff approved. The full fee of $30,000 per stall is required up front for new projects or major remodels, but existing owners who want to expand or change their business use are allowed to make $1,000 annual payments per stall. At $1,000 per space, Conkwright’s 17 spaces will bring the city $17,000 in revenue per year. “We all know Del Mar has a parking problem, but I didn’t create that problem,” Conkwright said. “I’ve agreed to pay $17,000 a year in in-lieu parking fees toward finding a solution to your parking problems. … I would think that people ought to write me thank you letters for paying $17,000 a year to solve your parking problems.” Appealing the deci-

sion, Del Mar resident Ralph Peck Jr. requested the City Council set the matter for a de nova public hearing at a later date. In his appeal, Peck claimed a restaurant in that space would be inconsistent with the community plan and that the number of required parking spaces had been miscalculated, among other concerns. Concerned about restaurant customers parking in residential neighborhoods, resident Mark Stuckelman also urged the council to grant a public hearing. “The in-lieu process does not give community neighbors a chance to give you input,” Stuckelman said. “I think you need to hear that input from neighbors. “We do support restaurants. We’d like to see a restaurant in that building; we just want to make sure it has sufficient onsite See TACO, page A20

San Diego restoring nature preserve money •Mayor Faulconer will give $254K to San Dieguito River Park, reversing prior decision By David Garrick, special to the Carmel Valley News, Del Mar Times, Solana Beach Sun San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said May 2 he will restore the city’s annual $254,000 contribution to the San Dieguito River Park, a 55-mile hiking and bicycling oasis stretching from Del Mar to Julian. The move reverses the mayor’s decision last month to eliminate funding for the park in the $3 billion budget he’s proposing for the fiscal year that begins July 1. But Faulconer said the reprieve might last only one year if leaders of the park don’t agree to several compromises. Key among those is giving the city greater leverage within the park’s joint governing authority, which also includes the county, Escondido, Poway, Solana Beach and Del Mar. San Diego covers 31 percent of the park’s budget but controls only two of nine votes, just over 22 percent. The mayor also wants an expiration date included in a proposed extension of the park’s 25-year-old joint powers authority agreement, which expires June 30. He said San Diego won’t sign any extension unless officials from each member agency are guaranteed a chance to evalu-

ate the authority’s “necessity and cost” at some point in the future. The mayor’s decision was praised May 2 by County Supervisor Dave Roberts, a member of the park’s board, and Dick Bobertz, the park’s longtime executive director. They said the money from San Diego would allow the park to avoid laying off employees and continue maintaining its trails and other amenities at a high level. They said it would also allow them to continue seeking grants to fill two large gaps in the park, one near Rancho Santa Fe and one just west of Julian. “I’m really pleased the mayor understands the value of the river park and the joint powers authority,” Roberts said. “I think he has heard loudly from people how important this is.” Bobertz said the news was “a huge relief” and expressed confidence that the mayor’s demands could be met. “Most of them seem like bureaucratic things that can easily be worked out,” he said. In addition to the voting change and the expiration date, the mayor is requesting new procedures regarding maintenance requirements, availability of park See PRESERVE, page A20

By Kristina Houck Although he has trouble communicating verbally, Jeremy Sicile-Kira can communicate in ways others cannot. Diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old, Jeremy also sees and feels emotions as colors. He uses his synesthesia to create vivid paintings. “I kindly frankly hope people realize that we are all hoping to be able to share our talents with the community we live in,” said 25-year-old Jeremy, who lives in Carmel Valley with his parents. He communicates by using a letterboard or keyboard. “I love the happy faces of people when they see my work.” It wasn’t until roughly two years ago that Jeremy discovered his unique talent. While flipping through a book by an author who also has synesthesia, his mother discovered her son associates colors with emotions. After having a dream about painting, Jeremy began painting his dreams. Now, he is the featured artist at the Special Needs Resource Fair’s first art show. Set for May 17 at Seaside Center in Encinitas, the inaugural fair will feature dozens of local vendors, including many who work with special needs children. Funds raised at the event will help low-income families with special needs children participate in educational programs at Where Music Begins and The Special Education Station. Jeremy will have at least 10 of his paintings on display and available for purchase at the event. Members of the public will also be able to order paintings. “I like the fact that we’re encouraging kids who have autism or developmental disabilities,” said Jeremy’s mother, author Chantal Sicile-Kira, who will also sign copies of her latest book, “Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Complete Guide to Understanding Autism.” The 371-page book covers all aspects of the condition, including the causes of autism, treatments, and teaching strategies and resources for educators and other professionals. Copies of her fifth book, “A Full Life with Autism: From Learning to Forming Relationships to Achieving Independence,” will also be available. She co-authored the book with her son. “This fair is a good way for families to learn about businesses in North County that work with special needs children,” said Sicile-Kira, who noted the importance of community resources. When Jeremy was diagnosed with autism, Sicile-Kira was living in France. Doctors

Pacific Ridge School sophomore Khalid Abudawas was awarded the “Sargio Penco” award from the International Poetry Competition Castello di Duino. His poem, titled “Palestinian Fears,” was the only American entry to receive an award, and was selected from nearly 1,000 applicants worldwide. Abudawas traveled with a friend to Trieste, Italy, to attend the award ceremony, which took place in Duino Castle in late March. The “Sargio Penco” Plate that Abudawas received is named in honor of a prominent Italian poet and friend of the organization, and is awarded to the best poet under the age of 16. Khalid’s poem will be published by Ibiskos Risolo Publishing House, along with other awarded and honorable mention poems. Profits from the book go to the Foundation Luchetta-Ota-D’Angelo-Hrovatin, committed to providing care for child victims of war.

Gidongo Armstrong. Courtesy photo Armstrong is on an amazing path,” said Kesslin, president and CEO of 4-Profit. Kesslin connected with Thalheimer and the pair sponsored Armstrong’s visas and training. “Here was somebody who was going to take his career and not only benefit himself, but also benefit his community,” said Thalheimer, who opened the school in October 1989. “It all came together. We’ve been doing this a long time, and this was an opportunity to really make a difference in a way that we had never tried before.” Armstrong arrived to the U.S. in early March and immediately began his training. The program takes 12-14 months to complete.

“Armstrong’s been excellent,” Thalheimer said. “He’s diligent. He’s here all the time. He takes direction. But more than that, he’s passionate about it.” Once Armstrong completes the program and earns his license, he hopes to work as a flight instructor at the school for a short time to gain even more experience before returning home. In the meantime, Kesslin and Thalheimer are raising money through The Global Good Fund to support their efforts and cover the cost of the training program, which is $60,000-$70,000. “This is not about helping one kid,” Kesslin said. “This is about changing a culture. Armstrong is committed.” “The help is very important to me,” said Armstrong, who is currently living with Plotkin in Scripps Ranch. “Back home, I’m trying to change lives.” By investing their money and time in Armstrong, Kesslin said the soon-to-be licensed pilot would earn 20 to 30 times more than the average person in his village. Armstrong plans to invest the extra money in his community. He has talked with Kesslin and Thalheimer about using the funds to help children get an education or even open his own pilot school. “I’ve been told by others that you can’t invest in individuals. I disagree. I believe you can invest in the right individuals,” Kesslin said. “It’s going to lead to a change in his culture. Armstrong didn’t come here to get trained to become an American. He came here to get trained to go back and change his country. “By helping people around the world, we help ourselves. We need to be part of something greater than ourselves — that’s what brings us joy. The only way to find joy and happiness is to help others.” To learn more about Armstrong and donate to his schooling, visit pilotarmstrong.com.

Local residents help make Ugandan man’s dream of becoming a pilot come true

By Kristina Houck Although losing luggage can be a nightmare, it was lost luggage that helped make one man’s dream come true. “I had no idea that my life was going to change for good,” said Gidongo Armstrong, a 26-year-old Ugandan, who is currently training to be a pilot at San Diego Flight Training International, which is owned by Carmel Valley resident Phil Thalheimer. Born in a rural village in eastern Uganda, Armstrong dreamed of becoming the first pilot from his community. But as one of 10 children in a large family on a small farm, he didn’t have the means to obtain a license. Until a chance encounter with Carlsbad businessman Larry Kesslin. In July 2012, Kesslin, his wife and two children traveled to Uganda with U-TOUCH, an organization that creates technology centers throughout the East African country. Having met Armstrong when she visited the village of Abayudaya the previous year, the organization’s founder, Deb Plotkin, hired him to network the computers during the trip. Plotkin introduced Armstrong to Kesslin and his family, who learned about his dreams of becoming a pilot, along with his goals of bringing opportunity to his community. But Armstrong needed $1,000 to continue his flight training in Nairobi. Kesslin, who had just received $1,200 in cash from Turkish Airlines for the inconvenience of losing the family’s bags for a week, gave Armstrong the money he needed. Long after the trip ended, Kesslin continued to help fund Armstrong’s schooling, but because Armstrong couldn’t get the commercial certification he needed in Africa, Kesslin decided to find a way to bring him to San Diego. “It’s been a lot of work to get to here, but I think

Frontline: Cancer

A fight for the ages By Scott M. Lippman No one dismisses the health threat of cancer. The disease, in its myriad forms (hundreds and counting), kills almost 575,000 Americans annually, reports the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And yet sometimes, I think, the enormity of cancer’s threat is not fully realized. Heart disease is currently the nation’s No.

1 killer: Almost 600,000 American deaths annually. But drawn on a graph, the lines representing the mortality rates of cancer and heart disease are converging. As George Johnson recently noted in his excellent New York Times essay titled “Why Everyone Seems to Have Cancer,” cancer is on the verge of becoming the No. 1 cause of death. In San Diego, that’s already happened. To be sure, there have been distinct and significant advances in the treatment and prevention of both killers. It’s just that there have been comparatively more in the case of heart disease. Profound improvements in lifestyles and behavior (diet, exercise, no smoking), for example, combined with new drugs, devices and surgeries mean the average American today is much less likely to die of heart disease than just a generation ago. The same cannot be said of cancer. Progress has been decidedly more gradual. Only a handful of cancers, primarily those of childhood, have been dramatically tamed. All human diseases are complicated, but none more so than cancer. Confounding this fact even further, cancer is a disease of aging – and of living. We are all in a constant state of flux, with cells continuously dividing and copying DNA to produce replacement cells, over and over and over throughout our lives. Errors or mutations inevitably occur.

They are, as Johnson notes, “the engines of evolution.” Sometimes these mutations are benign and transient. Sometimes, they are beneficial and change a species for the better. Sometimes, they produce cancer. Our bodies have evolved marvelous ways to identify and fix most of these glitches, but not all. And as we age, mutations accumulate and some consequently result in cancer. Indeed, as Trey Ideker, Ph.D., leader of the cancer genomes and networks program at Moores Cancer Center, and colleagues recently noted in published research: Cancer is a kind of accelerated aging. Tumor cells divide and grow with rapid abandon, wreaking havoc and eventually overwhelming our aging and increasingly less robust system of defenses. Live long enough, it’s said, and everyone dies of cancer. The war against cancer is a slog. Understanding its mysteries, distinct for each type in each patient, is hard work. It demands novel and evolving ways of thinking and creative, changeable approaches in science. One example can be seen in the on-going work at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine (SCRM), an unprecedented collaboration of five leading scientific institutions on the Mesa: La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, The Scripps Research Institute and the University of California, San Diego (of which Moores Cancer Center is part). The mission of SCRM

is to advance stem cell research. It does so through two different types of teamwork that, outside of San Diego, are often unheard of, but are critical to catalyze major advances in cancer research and care. First, SCRM literally brings together stem cell scientists from different disciplines and institutions. They share the same building and vision, leading to “out of the box” approaches to transforming cancer care. Examples abound: Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor of medicine in the School of Medicine, who co-leads the hematologic malignancies program at Moores Cancer Center, studies and treats blood diseases, works with Larry Goldstein, Ph.D., director of the UC San Diego Stem Cell Program, on different forms of leukemia. Both collaborate with John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., the former chief executive of SanfordBurnham Medical Institute. Similarly, Maike Sander, M.D., a professor and pancreatic developmental biologist at UC San Diego is collaborating with Tannishtha Reya, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Moores Cancer Center who is investigating how stem cells determine their fate – a decision that has profound implications for cancers like leukemia and pancreatic cancer. The second type of teamwork involves sharing unique, expensive equipment and core facilities – the next-generation devices and technologies that make it possible to probe the deeper mysteries of cancer. One such effort involves single cell genomics – the

ability to identify differences between individual cells in a seemingly homogeneous population. In other words, to perhaps find and target a solitary cancer cell hiding among many healthy neighbors. This kind of work, which is being done by UCSD scientists like Gene Yeo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of cellular and molecular medicine, often means extending and developing resources beyond those of academia. It means creating publicprivate partnerships with drug and biotech companies that share goals and aspirations. Recently, the World Health Organization projected that new cancer cases would skyrocket globally from an estimated 14 million annually in 2013 to 22 million each year by 2034. Cancer deaths worldwide would rise from 8.2 million annually to 13 million each year. These are gloomy numbers, but they are not inevitable. We can – and must – do better. I believe we are – and will – do better through efforts like SCRM. It represents a real and legitimately new way to fight cancer. We won’t win the war anytime soon, but I think we’ll all live long enough to see some major victories. Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in this newspaper each month.

Robolink team shines at World Robotics Championship, earns ‘Amaze’ award The 2014 VEX Robotics World Championship was held April 23 through 26 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Top robotics teams from around the world competed. Robolink’s local students — Carmel Valley and Solana Beach residents — performed very well, with their team receiving the “Amaze� award. The judges praised the team’s sturdy design and consistent balance of hardware and software skills. Judges also noted the team demonstrated growth in programming skills by updating its automation and gyroscopic sensors between matches. All students came into Robolink either in the summer/fall of 2013, quickly building on the basics. Students worked 200-plus hours on this particular competition. Parents donated their time, too, providing rides, making T-shirts and always showing support. Many parents appreciate the opportunity to bond with students through a shared love of robotics.

At a convocation at St. James by-the-Sea Church in La Jolla, Head of School Aimeclaire Roche recognized 27 members of the Class of 2014 as having received membership in the Cum Laude Society. The students are Brian Anglin of Del Mar, Madeleine Armstrong of La Jolla, Justin Athill of Carmel Valley, Adison Chang of Encinitas, Chelsea Chang of Rancho Penasquitos, Jenny Chen of La Jolla, Brooke Collins of Scripps Ranch, Daniel Forssman of Carmel Valley, Rory French of La Jolla, Colin Garon of Carmel Valley, Matthew Healey of Del Mar, Graham Held of La Jolla, Richard Hicks of Carmel Valley, Steven Hinshaw of Del Mar, Connor Holland of Del Mar, Tina Huang of La Jolla, Kamran Jamil of Rancho Santa Fe, Alexander Kilman of Kensington, Olivia Lafferty of La Jolla, Mark Matten of Carmel Valley, Anna Mischel of La Jolla, Christopher Moorad of La Jolla, Joseph Oh of Sorrento Valley, Erik Schrunk of Poway, Andrew Secondine of La Jolla, Anna Shuster of Encinitas and Jonathan Styrt of Rancho Santa Fe. Bishop’s juniors and seniors, families of honorees, faculty and staff heard from new society member Jenny Chen ‘14 and alumnus Patrick Hook ’01. Both Jenny and Patrick offered words of wisdom for the students who will be making the transition from high school to college in just a few short months. In Jenny’s speech to her classmates, she connected her work as an artist starting on a clean canvas to the transitional journey that the students will take in the coming months. “I think its natural to fear what is uncertain. Because when white can no longer be seen, when it is covered by paint or words or when time simply passes on, then I know that my creation, our creation, has been completed, and that it is real. Commencement is not an ending. I want you to remember, it is, as the name implies, a beginning.â€? Patrick discussed his six-month trek across Italy and encouraged students to be disciplined but with a caveat, “Be disciplined, yes, but‌if you can strike this balance of discipline and a carefree existence, people will come to respect you for the former, and admire the energy, purpose and joy with which you approach both. But more importantly, you’ll respect and love yourself more‌feed a virtuous cycle that leads to ever greater discipline, self-reliance and fulfillment.â€? The Cum Laude Society was founded in 1906 for the purpose of recognizing superior scholarship in independent school students. The founding model was very much like Phi Beta Kappa at the collegiate level, which recognizes and encourages true academic scholarship. Today, Cum Laude has grown to 382 chapters mostly in the United States; over 350 chapters are in the independent school arena. Bishop’s chapter was founded in 1956. Approximately 4,000 students nationwide will be inducted into the society this year. For more information, about The Bishop’s School visit www.bishops.com.

By Joe Tash Some 120 years after his death, people around the world are familiar with the works of Scottish-born author Robert Louis Stevenson, who penned the classic novels “Treasure Island,� “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,� and “Kidnapped.� Stevenson’s characters, such as Billy Bones, Long John Silver and the evil Edward Hyde, have woven their way into the vernacular. “He’s a part of our culture,� novelist Nancy Horan told a group of high school students during an appearance at The Grand Del Mar Resort at the April 22 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society. While today’s readers may know of Stevenson’s work, his life story has received less attention — how he met and fell in love with an American woman 10 years his senior, traveled at great risk to his health to California to rekindle their romance, and eventually died from a cerebral hemorrhage in his 40s at a plantation the couple built in Samoa. That story is told in vivid, imaginative detail in “Under the Wide and Starry Sky,� Horan’s second novel, which was published in 2013 by Ballantine Books. “I feel as if I know you,� Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne told Stevenson early

in the book, when she met the aspiring writer for the first time at an inn at Grezsur-Loing, 70 kilometers south of Paris. The book moves back and forth between the viewpoints of Stevenson and Fanny Osbourne as Horan lays out the tale of their lives together. “Everything about her was exotic, from her lively gold-ringed fingers to her tiny blue kidskin slippers peeking out from beneath a black skirt. She might have been a Sephardic shepherdess, to judge from her features, but the voice was different. American, to be sure. It had a touch of grassy prairie in it, riverboats, he didn’t know what all. Tennessee walking horses,� Horan wrote of Stevenson’s initial impression of the love of his life. The novel opens as Fanny embarks on a sea voyage to Europe, an escape which has two purposes: to get away from her husband’s multiple infidelities, and immerse her three children in art and culture. The basic factual outline of the story is true, said Horan, and she used her novelist’s license to fill in the details, from dialogue to the characters’ motivations. Where possible, she relied on sources such as letters, diaries and biographies to help her piece the story together. What was not made up, she said, was Fanny Os-

She was brave and she was adventurous,� said Horan. She also knew suffering, caused by a variety of things, from her husband’s philandering, to her youngest son’s

death from tuberculosis, to the health problems endured both by herself and, later, Stevenson. As she wrote, Horan said, she made every effort to stick to the basic facts of her main characters’ lives. “I feel really responsible to stay close to the true history, as close as I can,� she said. “I want to get it right.� That said, she took artistic license when necessary to bring the story alive on the page. “You invent it, you make your best guess, that’s fiction,� she said. Fanny Osbourne had her own artistic ambitions, both as a writer and painter, and she also gave her husband valuable criticism on his drafts, which he read aloud to her. In the family lore, she is credited with crucial suggestions on the

The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the San Dieguito River Park officially open the new Birdwing Open Air Classroom, located at the San Dieguito Lagoon off Via de la Valle, on May 13 at 10 a.m. County Supervisor Dave Roberts will cut the ribbon to welcome the community to the new Birdwing Open Air Classroom. Roberts is Chairman of the San Dieguito River Park JPA. Leaders from the Conservancy, the River Park JPA, and other public officials will join him in celebrating this occasion. The unique Birdwing Open Air Classroom, designed by award-winning Spurlock Poirier Landscape Architects and Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, fits seamlessly into the natural landscape of the Lagoon. It serves as a gathering place for visitors of all ages and abilities to learn about the abundant natural resources of the San Dieguito River watershed and to participate in a wide variety of educational, research, and recreational programs. The Lagoon is the gateway to the San Dieguito River Park, which extends over 55 miles from the coast at Del Mar to the crest at Volcan Mountain near Julian. Former County Supervisor, Pam Slater-Price jump-started the project with a $340,000 grant to the River Park. In November 2013, Dave Roberts secured another $150,000 to complete the construction of the Birdwing. Download the complete Schedule of Events for the Birdwing Open Air Classroom.

Residents encouraged to write about ‘why they like living in Carmel Valley’ in Sage Canyon student’s guest book left in gazebo By Karen Billing Eight-year-old Hari Krishnamurthy is conducting his own little project in his Carmel Valley neighborhood, inviting residents to leave behind comments or stories in a guest book he plans to leave in the gazebo at the Carmel Mountain Road and Carmel Country Road junction. The gazebo sits amid the Carmel Country Highlands neighborhood, above a dog park and a path frequented by dog-walkers, strollers and runners. “It just came to me,” said Hari, a third grade student at Sage Canyon about his project idea. “I want people to tell me what they like about Carmel Valley and I’m hoping to get at least 50 signatures.” Hari plans to leave the guest book on the bench under the shady gazebo for about a month. “My dad comes by here when he’s walking our dog so he can check if it’s still there,” Hari said. He’s looking for reflections from people about living in Carmel Valley, why they chose to live here and what the community means to them. He said people are welcome to write anything they want, “as long as it’s not weird.” With a big smile, Hari thought for a minute on what he would write if asked what he likes best about Carmel Valley. “I like how it’s warm sometimes, not too hot, not too cold,” Hari said.

Hari Krishnamurthy hopes people will sign his guest book placed in a gazebo in the Carmel Country Highlands neighborhood, at the intersection of Carmel Mountain Road and Carmel Country Road. Photo by Karen Billing “And it’s pretty peaceful compared to other places.” The third grader also takes piano and taekwondo lessons in addition to playing golf and the violin. After a month, he said he said he would write a report on his guest book findings.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Education Matters/Opinion District shares blame in $7 million property tax bill error BY MARSHA SUTTON After hearing from staff how the district was not blameless in the property tax bill error discovered last October, the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Trustees voted 4-1 at the May 1 board meeting to pay $80,000 to the county of San Diego for partial reimbursement of expenses associated with correcting the mistake. Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, said he has met regularly for the past six months with Treasurer/Tax Collector Dan McAllister, the county’s chief administrative officer, the county auditor/controller, and other county staff, to sort out how to fix the problem. After the dust settled, costs for the fix were tallied up, and the county reported a final figure of about $183,000. Dill said the county asked the district to pay half. “The compromise that we struck with them was that we would cover the costs of the printing and the mailing, but all of their system-related costs – they had to contract out for that stuff – we would want them to cover that,” Dill said in an interview April 30. “In the end what we agreed on was a flat $80,000.” San Dieguito’s $449 million general obligation bond, which passed by a narrow margin last fall, called for a maximum tax of $25 per $100,000 in property value. But the original tax bill issued by McAllister’s office assessed $37.50 per $100,000. The error on the original property tax bill, mailed last fall, was first discovered and reported by this newspaper on Oct. 24. After alerting the district to the mistake, I spoke with Tracy Sandoval,

auditor/controller for the county whose department is separate from McAllister’s. She initially blamed the school district for the error, and the next day the school district fired back, blaming the county. Today, both the county and the Marsha Sutton school district accept some blame for what happened. “We’ve done a really good job of not pointing fingers at each other since that first day,” Dill said. “We all have a little bit of this so we’re accepting joint responsibility.” After those first few days when both agencies were trying to understand how an unprecedented and potentially far-reaching mistake like this could have happened, the finger-pointing ended and all parties agreed to sit down together and sort out the problems and identify both short- and long-term solutions. McAllister worked to bring the county and school district together to find a way to resolve the problem quickly. “I think we wrapped it up pretty fast, relative to [what] could have happened,” he said. The itemized statement from the county to the district showed a total cost of $183,372. The district’s flat fee of $80,000 was for $35,600 for printing and postage for letters mailed to property owners that explained the error, $7,400 to process refunds to taxpayers who had already paid the full amount based on the incorrect tax bills, and $38,100 for printing and postage of new and corrected tax bills. The county agreed to pay the remaining amount – about $103,000 – primarily to outside vendors for software programming and information technology. “We all recognized that it was a shared responsibility issue, and we think it’s fair and reasonable for everybody to share some of the costs,” McAllister said. McAllister said the school district preferred to pay for the tangible costs – postage, printing and mailing. Paying those concrete bills, he said, was something “they can get their arms around.” The IT costs tend to be a little more esoteric and harder to understand, he said. He would have preferred a 50-50 split, “but we’re okay with what happened,” he said. Dill said the county, to save printing costs, wanted property owners to pay the incorrect amount and receive a refund later for the overpayment. Had everyone paid the incorrect tax rate in full, the amount of money to be refunded would have been about $7 million. But SDUHSD pushed to have new bills that reflected the correct amount printed and mailed to property owners before the due date. “We were somewhat insistent upon correcting the bills,” Dill said. “Ultimately, we were able to engineer a solution where revised tax statements were put out to all 75,000 people who received incorrect statements, before the deadline,” Dill said at the May 1 school board meeting where the item was discussed. “That came at a great cost for the county of San Diego, to print, mail, process, and also program their systems.” Because SDUHSD made the county scramble, Dill said the district felt an obligation to pay those costs. “A large portion of the impetus that the county had to put those revised statements out was really our insistence that this be made right before the initial tax statement was due so that nobody would have to

overpay,” he said. Dill said the $80,000 is not coming out of the district’s general fund or from Proposition AA funding. Instead, the money is being taken from the district’s selfinsurance fund which he said is set up to pay unintended, unexpected losses. “We’re essentially covering most of the hard costs which are the printing and mailing of the notices,” Dill said. “And that,” he said, “is that.” McAllister said all expenses are in and there are no additional costs. “It’s done, finished. We’ve moved on,” he said. Transparency problem In the published May 1 agenda, this $80,000 payment was listed on the fourth page of the district’s list of purchase orders in the business report section, part of the Consent calendar. The payment to the county was the 198th purchase order out of 210. Items on the Consent agenda consist of routine noncontroversial business that require no discussion and are approved as a whole in one board vote. The payment was pulled off the Consent calendar for public discussion at the start of the meeting, and a 20-minute open discussion ensued. Two speakers questioned why this item was initially placed on the Consent agenda and criticized the district for a lack of transparency. Del Mar resident Doug Perkins addressed the board, saying the matter “certainly can’t be classified as routine business.” He said the payment deserves a clear and public explanation from the board and “requires more transparency and accountability.” It should not have been “buried” with other items that are routine, he said. “I don’t think it is fair to the public,” Perkins said. See BILL, page 19

A strange mix Mr. Gordon Clanton, Re: “San Dieguito River Park at risk,” published May 1. Maybe your editor should read your letters more carefully before publishing your one-sided, politically-charged comments. “There is no Democratic or Republican way to fix a pothole.” In other words, why does anyone bring politics in to fix a pothole. Why are you mixing politics with doing things like fixing a pothole, or funding the San Dieguito River Park? Did you find out if it was Mayor Faulconer’s sole decision not to fund the park? If it was, did you look into why did he do it? Was it because he was a Republican? Please also answer those questions in your commentary, before drawing conclusions. We live in the United States not in China, or Russia, or any totalitarian country. You teach sociology at San Diego State University. I sure hope you use more details, do more research before you teach your students at the university. William T Shen LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

By Supervisor Dave Roberts Dear San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Thank you for your letter of Friday. I couldn’t be happier that you have budgeted $254,000 for the 2014-15 fiscal year to pay for an additional year of San Diego’s membership in the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority. I am confident that the city’s annual investment in this regional asset will pay great dividends for many, many generations. The San Dieguito River Park follows the river’s course from the beach at Del Mar past Lake Hodges, through the foothills near Ramona and up the slopes of our local mountains to the headwaters on Volcan Mountain. While much of the park is open to the public, some gaps remain. The city of San Diego’s position on the park’s governing board strengthens our hope that before long, the park’s full, 55-mile-long Coast-to-Crest Trail will be open to hikers, cyclists and equestrians. The city is one of the

biggest landowners within the river park, and under the river park’s management, city residents have gained access to many miles of trails near the cityowned Lake Hodges, as well as a pedestrian bridge that spans the lake near Rancho Bernardo. A decade-long, $90 million restoration of the San Dieguito wetlands east of Del Mar took place almost entirely within San Diego city limits. I hope the public will join the JPA next week for the grand opening of the Birdwing Outdoor Educational Center. The open-air center overlooks the thriving river valley, a large basin of the lagoon and the river itself. What a great place to get kids excited about nature. Access to open space, clean water and habitat for increasingly-rare plants and animals – it’s hard to estimate how much that contributes to human wellness. My guess is a lot. I applaud the JPA’s determination to promote safe and healthy neighborhoods in San Diego. Your investment in River Park membership

Dave Roberts is a positive step. In your letter, you present nine points for negotiation related to the city’s membership on the Joint Powers Authority. For the most part, they address the procedural and bureaucratic workings of the JPA and, through negotiation, can be reconciled. Thank you, Mayor Faulconer, for giving the River Park the consideration and funding it deserves. I look forward to working further with you and to operating the River Park, in your words, “for the enjoyment of all San Diegans.” Supervisor Dave Roberts is Chairman of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority and represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Rant with Randi: Do something that scares you

my directional defect. One time he gave me directions and left out one turn and I was literally lost for an hour (this was before On Star). About a month ago, we got an email inviting our son to play lacrosse in Baltimore, Maryland. Initially it was one of those emails that I was about to delete, until I read a little bit more into it and realized this was something that would be a once-in-a-

lifetime experience (except for all the other “once-ina-lifetime experiences” we are probably going to do in the future). The weekend consisted of playing lacrosse against kids from the East Coast (in the lacrosse world that’s a big deal because apparently those kids are born with a stick in their hand and have some sick stick skills). The boys would get to see a Johns Hopkins vs. Maryland game at Homewood Field, tour the locker room, meet the players, check out the lacrosse HOF, play on the Johns Hopkins Homewood field under the lights, and have an insanely fun weekend. How could we possibly say no? Most of the time, la See RANT, page A20

Del Mar Rotary and Founding Rotarian Celebrate Birthdays The Del Mar Rotary Club celebrated its 60th anniversary of existence on Thursday, May 1. The Club received its charter at the Hotel Del Mar, the current site of L’Auberge, on May 4, 1954. Over 200 people attended the chartering ceremony. The club meeting on May 1 was also an appropriate celebration for a special Rotarian’s birthday, Monty Woolley, who is the longest serving current member with the club and served as president from 1963-1964. (L-R): Tom Ryan, David Goodell, Monty Woolley, President Pat Dougherty, Bill Dougherty and Jim Watkins.

BILL continued from page 18

“Who made the determination that this is a routine matter of business?” The answer was never provided, although Dill did say that it ended up on the purchase order list along with all the other invoices because the county “invoiced us for that share and we’re paying the invoice.” John Salazar, the lone SDUHSD board member who opposed approval of the payment, questioned Dill critically, saying, “I’m really kind of shocked about the whole thing.” He asked Dill how SDUHSD went from doing nothing wrong to taking blame. “I don’t believe I ever said we did nothing wrong,” Dill said. “I did say that we transmitted the correct information [in response to] a comment that said we transmitted incorrect information. My point all along is that the county

had the same information we had.” “We’re not responsible for sending out tax bills,” Salazar said. “They do property taxes for the entire county. I just don’t see that we should be responsible for this. I feel like it’s a double hit on the taxpayers in our district.” “I do see your point,” Dill said. “But this was an extraordinary event.” Salazar asked Dill what assurance the district has that the county won’t come back and ask for more money. “It has been expressed to us that this is it,” Dill said. The error was fixed so there is no further liability, he said. ********** In other district news, Laurie Brady, principal of Carmel Valley Middle School, resigned her position effective June 30 and is being reassigned this fall to a classroom teaching position. The same for Kyle Ruggles, principal of La Costa Canyon High School, and Molly Ravenscroft, assistant principal of Oak Crest Middle School in Encinitas. Torrey Pines High School is losing the full-time services of six certificated employees for the 2014-2015 school year. English teacher Angelina Allen has requested a 20-percent leave of absence, English teacher L. Marie Black a 60-percent leave, math teacher Abigail BrownMcLellan a 20-percent leave, physics teacher David Fleischman a 20-percent leave, counselor Jayme Cambra a 20-percent leave, and counselor Brennan Dean a 40-percent leave. Lastly, Del Mar Union School District board president Doug Rafner was named in San Dieguito’s Purchase Order list to receive $14,000 for a mediation settlement. Citing privacy rights, SDUHSD staff would not discuss, and Rafner did not respond to an inquiry. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

BY RANDI CRAWFORD This might sound crazy to some people, but if you are anything like me, and you have absolutely no sense of direction, you might relate. If you are one of those people who understand when someone is giving you directions, and they tell you to go “East” off the freeway, and you know what that means, then you definitely will not get me. Don’t get me wrong, I know my N, S, E and West on a map, but I get lost in the execution. It’s like I was born without a “direction” chip in my brain. Let’s just say that On Star is my BFF and they literally know me by first name. It’s nearly impossible for my husband, who is great with directions, to understand

NOVEL early versions of “Jekyll and Hyde,” which originally came to Stevenson in a dream. But her dogged and indefatigable care of her husband during his many illnesses —particularly near-fatal bouts of hemorrhaging in his lungs — may have been her greatest contribution to his literary achievements, Horan said. She also followed her husband around the world as he sought climates favorable to his health, from the mountains of Switzerland, to long sea journeys, to South Pacific islands. Even though, as Horan pointed out in the book, Fanny Osbourne was prone to seasickness. “Fanny kept him alive.

Time and again she saved his life,” Horan said. “Under the Wide and Starry Sky” is Horan’s second novel, and her first, “Loving Frank,” was also about a woman who had a major impact on the life of a famous man. In that case, Horan wrote of a love affair between famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney. Horan, who lives on an island in Puget Sound, Wash., with her husband, and was formerly a teacher and freelance writer, said her next book will be a departure for her, but will still include elements of history, one of her passions. “I think I’m going to go in a whole new direction,” she said.

TREATMENT medical resources dates back to the genocide by the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s, when nearly all of the country’s doctors were killed, Grossfeld said. “Children born with congenital heart defects in Cambodia are basically left to die,” he said. Grossfeld said the missions are a family affair, as he and his wife also bring along their 7-yearold son and his wife’s mother. The next trip is planned for Thanksgiving week.

Mayor Lee Haydu was absent from the meeting. “The town needs to be revitalized,” said Greg Glassman, who owns Zel’s Del Mar at 1247 Camino del Mar. “I’m in support of doing things that are going to bring new businesses and new life into the town.” Bull Taco has locations in Cardiff by the Sea, Encinitas, Oceanside and San Clemente. Greg Lukasiewicz, owner of Bull Taco, said food will be prepared at the Oceanside location and reheated at the Del Mar site, which is 800 square feet of enclosed space, along with an adjacent 550-square-foot deck. Hours of operation will be from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. “We will be a business that you will be proud of in Del Mar,” Lukasiewicz said. “You’ll be happy to have us in your community.”

fin to Maryland. Apparently, his mother had the audacity to turn 70 this year, and his family was throwing a surprise party for her, and Michael was the big surprise. Is he kidding? I can’t go to Baltimore. I mean, you just heard that itinerary; we were going all over the place. How would I get around? I begged my husband, on my hands and knees, to take our son and then head over to the party in Connecticut on Saturday night, but that was obviously never an option. We had already told our son that he was going, so I was basically up a creek without a paddle. I think that I was in total denial that I was going on this lacrosse trip until the day I left, and even then I wasn’t so sure it was actually happening. I started emailing all my friends to see if any of them were going, and they all said no. It was going to be my son and I with a bunch of dads that I didn’t even know, hang-

Let’s not forget about the “getting around part.” When I tell you to “do something that scares you,” trust me, words can’t explain the fear I had thinking about the fact that I barely know how to get around San Diego in a 10-mile radius, in a place that I’ve lived for 17 years, and now I’m flying across the country and having to navigate Baltimore. The thought of driving my son from point A to point B, and actually arriving to the right destination, on time, was daunting. I literally lost sleep over this lacrosse trip. But there is so much more to this story. Until next time... What do you think? Was it the “experience of a lifetime” or a hot mess? More next week! Email me at www.randiccrawford@ gmail.com

documents and the authority that park leaders have to file lawsuits and make public statements. San Diego Councilman Mark Kersey, whose district includes much of the park, said he was pleased with the one-year reprieve. “I support the mayor’s decision to continue contributing to the park while we determine the best way for San Diego and the other partners to maintain this beautiful gem,” Kersey said. San Diego withdrew financial support for three years under Mayor Jerry Sanders, but Mayor Bob Filner restored funding in the 2013-14 budget. Faulconer said May 2 that the park is a “valuable recreational asset,” but that city officials have a responsibility to taxpayers to evaluate long-term financial commitments. His staff said restored river park funding would come from more optimistic revenue projections in the budget. “It is my hope to embark on a new era of cooperation and confidence in the management of the park, ultimately for the enjoyment of all San Diegans,” he said. The county’s annual contribution to the park is $254,000, the same as the city’s. Escondido and Poway contribute $107,000 each, while Solana Beach and Del Mar provide $49,000 each.


There is something special about football. Maybe it’s because it is only played in the fall and it has imprinted itself in our cultural seasonal rhythm. Maybe it is because there is only one game a week adding to the preparation, suspense and allure of each contest. Or maybe it is because the game of football just a great combination of tactical strategy, strength, speed and group discipline. A very talented group of kids from Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Rancho Sante Fe, mostly fifth and six graders, discovered that special something and channeled their love of football to become the best Jr. Pee Wee Pop Warner team in the San Diego County Palomar Conference, and one of the top four teams in all of Southern California. The core of this team played together since Torrey Pines flag football when they were 5 and 6 years old. Most of them started tackle with Torrey Pines Pop Warner in the Jr. Mitey Mite program at ages 7 and 8, and most of them never lost a game from the first time they strapped on their helmets. Three years of TPPW tackle football, three undefeated regular seasons. 34 wins. Officially they were named the Falcons, unofficially they called themselves the Juggernaut. The Falcons, led by the offensively stacked power running of Griff Wilson, Marco Notarainni, Joey Bertsch, and Carson Williams, rolled through league games from Carlsbad to Temecula. Running behind the

T E A K

strongest line in Palomar, anchored by Zach “the Pancake House” Rowell at center, left tackle Nick Parise, guards Zane Schwab, Toby Calhoun, and Cole Parker, tackles Conor Guiltinan and Jacob Hernandez and tight-end Miles Botkiss, the offense put up 298 points. This talented line not only opened up big holes but protected quarterbacks Liam Doheny and Jack Ellis when they were in the pocket. Doheny connected with tightend Miles Botkiss for four touchdowns through the air. The receivers Barrett Goldman, Tate Nelson, Krando Nishiba, and Aiden Patterson were outside threats and did an excellent job blocking down field and extending the running attack. Defensively, the Falcons were very tough and only allowed 65 points all season, the least in Conference. Led by the tackling of the linebacking crew of Notarainni, Williams, and Ellis, and the tough efforts of John Flaming, Preston Graubart, Tyler Wheeler Connor Martin, Bryce Grudzielanek, Cameron Fassett, Ian May, and Jack Shafer, the Falcons defense shut out Temecula in their 14-0 win in the Palomar Championship game. Joey Bertsch set the Championship tone by busting the opening kick-off straight up the middle for a 70-yard touchdown and Ellis was good for the extra point. Marco Notarainni, off a Doheny slight-ofhand misdirection, went 65 yards up the middle for the only other score in the Championship game. The remainder of the

After learning about Omo Child from one of WIFE’s clients, Bryan and the organization partnered to support the cause with WIFE co-hosting the book signing. Rowe’s story will be featured in the next “Soul Models” book, Bryan said. In the meantime, he will be a featured speaker during “Soul Models Week” May 18-25 at Golden Door spa in San Marcos. “John Rowe is one of the most upstanding men I’ve ever met in my entire life,” Bryan said. “He’s just one person who has made this huge difference. It’s amazing what one person can do. “I love inspiring people with the stories of these soul models, so they know that they also have it in them to do extraordinary things with their lives.” For more information about “Soul Models,” visit soulmodels.net.

The H eights Carm el Vall ey

By Kristina Houck With help from Rancho Santa Fe resident and filmmaker John Rowe, 37 children are alive and well in Ethiopia. Having been declared “mingi,” or cursed, by the elders of the Kara tribe, the children could have been sacrificed like countless others in ritual killings. But Rowe and Lale Labuko — who lost two of his sisters to the taboo practice — have worked to rescue mingi children and end the practice, which extends back generations among tribes of Ethiopia’s Omo River valley. The pair launched Omo Child, a nonprofit organization that provides a safe home and quality education for rescued mingi children. They also spearheaded efforts to end the practice in the Kara and Banna tribes. “As a writer, John and Lale’s story completely spoke to me,” said author Elizabeth Bryan, who recently held a private launch party for her new book, “Soul Models: Inspiring Stories of Courage and Compassion,” at Rowe’s home. Event proceeds benefit Omo Child. “I was so horrified to learn that children are being killed like that in today’s day and age. And I was so moved that John would devote his time, effort and significant financial support to saving these kids.” Bryan shares stories of inspirational people doing inspiring things in “Soul Models: Inspiring Stories of Courage and Compassion.” Coauthored by Angela Daffron, the book features short stories of everyday people as well as celebrities, such as NFL quarterback Eli Manning and illusionist David Copperfield. “I feel so blessed to be able to be the voice for these people,” said Bryan. “It’s such a gift to be able to share them with the world.” A single mother of three, Bryan said speaking with the subjects helped her “survive” tough times. Her desire to help others overcome adversity inspired the concept of the book. “These extraordinary people refuse to give up,” she said. “In fact, they step up to help other people.” “Soul Models” is Bryan’s second book. She previously co-authored “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Count Your Blessings” and helped develop an accompanying game. Also an artist and speaker, Bryan is a consultant and a volunteer with San Diego-based Women’s Institute for Financial Education, or WIFE, a nonprofit organi-

Solana Beach opera singer to host home concert May 18 •Event open to the public By Kristina Houck Twice a year the living room in Virginia and Robert Garland’s Solana Beach home is transformed into an intimate concert hall. An accomplished soprano opera singer, Garland has held these intimate recitals in Solana Beach for nearly 15 years. She will once again open her home to the public during the “It’s ‘Puccini’ in May!” concert on May 18. “I started them because I wanted to have something more intimate,” Garland said. “When you do it in a large hall, it’s not as personal. I really wanted to have people experience music in an intimate setting.” A Solana Beach resident since 1966, Garland has shared her voice with the community for decades. She has performed for the Rancho Santa Fe Opera Guild, and for local charities, churches and libraries. In 1981, she organized the New Life Opera Ensemble, bringing together musicians to perform at a variety of local venues. “I was producer, director you name it,” Garland recalled. A Boston University graduate who majored in Spanish and French, Garland said her education has helped her master the complexity of opera. She sings in 10 languages, including Chinese and Vietnamese, but enjoys singing in Italian and Spanish most. In 1975, Garland began studying with Del Mar voice teacher Beverly Ogden. She went on to study in New York with Maestro Frank Basilece and also

Soprano opera singer Virginia Garland and pianist John Danke. Courtesy photo with Howard Fried of the New York Opera. Her first solo performance was held in 1980 at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar. Now 76, she still trains weekly with her coach Anna Carson. “I want to be fair to the people that I invite to my home and be the very best I can be,” Garland said. Garland first launched her home concert series in December 1999 at the home of Estelle Walker, a nearby neighbor and friend. Accompanied by pianist John Danke, her latest concert will feature operatic arias from Italian composer Giacomo Puccini. Garland’s 18-year-old granddaughter Morgan Kendrick will perform contemporary music, accompanied by her 21-year-old brother, Madison, for one of the pieces. From the selection of music to the variety of costumes, Garland plans every aspect of the concert. “I try to make every one very unique,” she said. Also a composer, Garland has written nearly two dozen songs. She released her first album — a combination of covers and original material — in 1999, and her second album in 2003. “It’s been pretty much a late lifelong journey,” Garland said. “I knew I had to pursue that part of my life. “When you have been given a gift and you make up your mind that it is important, you’ve got to do the best you can to give it the best part of yourself. I’m devoted to honoring my craft, so when I finally sing my last note, it’s going to be good.” When not training or performing, Garland enjoys spending time with her husband of 42 years, six children and 12 grandchildren. She also serves as president of the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society. “I’m a very fortunate women,” said Garland. “I almost have my cake and eat it, too. My life is very rich.” The concert begins at 3 p.m. Seating is limited. To RSVP for the concert, call 858-755-2965. The concert is free, but donations are accepted.

“Success, Happiness & Manifesto of ‘Happism’” Dr. M. M. Moharir worldwide happiness, resulting in his theory of “happism.” “Individual success and happiness can be extrapolated for the community and nation,” he said. “And then, if every nation is happy, it becomes world happiness.” Moharir will read from his book and sign copies during a book signing event 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. June 21 at the Rancho Peñasquitos Library, which is located at 13330

Salmon River Road in San Diego. “I hope people take hope for the future, inspiration,” said Moharir, before reading a selection from his book. “Without the implementation of Happism Manifesto, we, the human beings, will never attain the happiness level God has intended by giving us a brilliant brain and the beautiful Mother Earth,” he read. “However, no matter what happiness level we attain, life will go on ’till the sun shines and the Earth stays in its orbit. The question is: What type of world will we leave behind for our future generations?” For more information about the book or to purchase a copy, visit amazon. com or barnesandnoble. com.

By Kristina Houck From peace in the Middle East to global warming, local author Dr. M. M. Moharir explores how to solve the world’s problems in his recently published book, “Success, Happiness & Manifesto of ‘Happism.’” The book suggests a new world order through Moharir’s theory of happism, which aims for permanent and sustainable happiness on Earth. “This may not be possible in our generation,” Moharir said. “Like capitalism, communism, imperialism, socialism — happism is a world order. If we follow that order, then there will be happiness in the whole world.” Although Moharir admits it’s a “tall order,” he said happism is not an “abstract concept.” In fact, throughout his 164-page book, Moharir demonstrates how he believes the happism theory can solve any national or international problem using a single system oriented solution (SOS) format based on a 360-degree, bias-free rationale derived from the manifesto of happism and its supporting principles. “This book is so important,” said Moharir, who has sent copies of his book to President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Rep. Scott Peters (D-52) and other U.S. politicians. He plans to eventually publish the book internationally. “My life mission is to give this message to the world. It is not just for the U.S., Europe or Africa. It is for all humanity.” Born in India, Moharir earned his bachelor and master’s degrees in his native country before coming to the U.S. in 1970, where he earned a second master’s degree as well as a Ph.D. in aerospace at West Virginia University. He worked as an aerospace scientist and engineer on various NASA and U.S. Defense Department projects for 30 years. Happily married for 45 years and the father of two adult sons — both medical doctors — Moharir is now enjoying retired life. “I have achieved what I wanted to achieve in my life,” said Moharir, who lives in Rancho Peñasquitos. “I thought, ‘What did I do in my life to get my satisfaction, to get my happiness?’” This question led to Moharir’s concept for his book, which starts off exploring individual happiness, then community happiness, nationwide happiness, and finally,

SD Jewish Academy marks Holocaust Remembrance Day

T

o commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, San Diego Jewish Academy upper school students lit a torch April 28 and then recited the names of 10,000 children who perished in the Holocaust. Although more than 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, with 1.6 million of them children, there was not enough time in the day to recite all the names. Throughout the day, upper school (grades 6-12) students stood in memorial and recited a portion of the names. Holocaust survivors Max and Rose Schindler spoke to the upper school students. Holocaust Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Between July 22 and Sept. 12, 1942, the German authorities deported or murdered around 300,000 Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. SS and police units deported 265,000 Jews to the Treblinka killing center and 11,580 to forced-labor camps. The Germans and their auxiliaries murdered more than 10,000 Jews in the Warsaw ghetto during the deportation operations. For more information about San Diego Jewish Academy, visit www.sdja.com.

By Karen Billing Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa put the finishing touches on its $30 million renovation project recently — the last piece included giving a little love to its tennis facility. The resort’s tennis courts all received new surfacing and windscreens, and the tennis facility now has its own locker rooms and pro shop to serve guests and year-round tennis members as well as its junior tennis program, the West Coast Tennis Academy. The Rancho Santa Fe resort’s renovations are complete just in time for the resort’s 25th anniversary in June, said Nicole Sharp, director of marketing. The renovation resulted in a new design for the landscaping and public areas of the resort, as well as a luxe upgrade for all of the guest rooms. The resort also gained new amenities such as the restaurant Veladora, The Pony Room bar (which now sports The All Agave Project, a tequila tasting club), an expanded fitness center and a peaceful yoga pavilion. Now fully refreshed, Rancho Valencia has 18 tennis courts in three clusters nestled among the resort’s blooming bouganvillea and citrus groves. The new locker facilities provide a space just for tennis players so they don’t have to walk to the spa or resort’s facilities. The new pro shop, located just off the center court, has wood floors in the chevron style seen in the resort’s Veladora restaurant and features the latest tennis gear, as well as clothing emblazoned with the Rancho Valencia logo. The resort employs top quality instructors for every level of player, led by twotime U.S. Open champion Robin White. Tennis pros on staff have resumes that include playing the ATP and WTA tours, reaching the semi-finals at Wimbledon, winning an Olympic bronze medal and winning mixed doubles at the French Open. One of the 18 courts is reserved as a sports court for a drill-centered cardio tennis class. “It’s a great workout and so much fun at the same time,” said Sharp of the class that works on tennis-specific agility and cardio. In addition to cardio tennis, there are over 70 classes offered a week at Rancho Valencia between the courts and the yoga pavilion and fitness center that can not only be utilized by members and guests but also daytrippers to the spa. “It’s a really great way to make the best out of your day,” said Sharp of a spa guest’s

Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary improves the ‘Take Wing’ Transitional Living Facility in Point Loma as part of ‘Rotarians At Work Day’ Fourteen Rotarians and friends of the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club painted, weeded, built garden boxes, and planted flowers, ground cover, and vegetables at the “Take Wing” apartment complex in Point Loma on April 26 as part of Rotary’s “Rotarians at Work Day.” The Rotarians provided shovels, hoes, trowels, rakes, and other gardening tools, plus vegetable plants and bags of potting soil, fertilizer, and mulch to the Take Wing apartments. San Diego Youth Services provided the paint and painting supplies, lumber, succulents, and flowering plants. Take Wing offers transitional housing and support to youth, age 18-24, who have “aged out” of foster care, are homeless, or are at-risk of homelessness. It is one of many services offered by San Diego Youth Services, a nonprofit organization that has helped improve the lives of hundreds of thousands homeless, runaway, abused and at-risk youth in the San Diego area. The majority of the youth who graduate from the Take Wing program are able to secure stable housing and maintain employment after their exit. Rotarians at Work Day is a worldwide community service day on the last Saturday in April each year. It was started in 2006 as a joint effort by the two Rotary Districts headquartered in San Diego and Tijuana. The Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club meets Friday mornings at the Morgan Run Resort for breakfast, service project planning, and an informative speaker. For more information, see www.DMSBR

Art history lecturer Derrick Cartwright, Ph.D. will host a four-part series to explore, “What’s wrong with this picture? Some problems of art in our time,” 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays, May 13, 20, 27 and June 3 at Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St., La Jolla. The point of these lectures is not to bemoan our predicaments or to offer negative judgments; rather it will be to identify more clearly the prevailing creative conditions of our contemporary moment and ask, “How did our art world get to be this way?” • May 13: “What’s Wrong with This Picture?” The first lecture will tackle a long history of artists who have deliberately refused to be bound by traditional aesthetic categories. It will focus on ways their work has contributed to new ways of seeing the world. • May 20: “Tulipmania, Then and

Now,” will consider lessons to be gained by studying ebullient markets for art as well as the historical ramifications of those “hot” markets for collectors (both public and private). • May 27: “The Problem with Participation,” will inspect the strategies employed by artists and by institutions to deepen audience engagement and just what this means for our everyday encounters with objects. • June 3: “What Happens in Detroit,” looks at the conditions of art communities under financial duress and, while it hopes for the best, offers a cautionary outlook for future growth of museums. Tickets for the series are $50 members/$70 non-members; individual lectures: $14 members/$19 non-members at (858) 454-5872. www.ljathenaeum.org/ lectures

David O. Russell, writer-director of “Silver Linings Playbook,” will be honored with the IBPF Hope Award for his efforts to erase the stigma of mental illness, improve access to treatment and instill hope in families, communities and the nation. Released in 2012, the motion picture was nominated for eight Oscar awards, including best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay and the film’s stars, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert DeNiro and Jackie Weaver, were nominated in all four acting categories. The romantic comedy-drama is the story of the struggles and victories of a man with bipolar disorder following his release from a psychiatric hospital. Russell himself has an adult son with a mood disorder. Silver Linings Playbook was a commercial success, grossing over $130 million and was pivotal in expanding public awareness of the illness. Proceeds from the May 10 fundraiser will benefit programs and support services for people affected by bipolar disorder. Proceeds also will fund public education programs to increase awareness and knowledge of bipolar disorders. “The theme for the gala was selected because we’re inviting the public to help us remove the mask,” said Muffy Walker, IBPF co-founder and chairman. IBFP officials expect attendance of more than 250 people. The event will feature dinner and a live auction. Attire is black tie. Tickets are $325 per person.

Celebrate Mother’s Day with foods for moms of all ages and stages The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Mothers come in assorted configurations – social, cultural and physical. They’re young and bubbling with effervescence, old and seasoned with wisdom; biological, adoptive, foster and step. But all share a set of universal attributes, including compassion, patience, understanding and

love. Whether she’s waiting for the stork to deliver a precious package, or all the chicks flew the coop and she’s an empty nester, women of all ages need optimum foods to support the various stages of motherhood. Here’s a gustatory line-up to keep them healthy, happy, peppy and youthful. A Pregnant Pause Moms-to-be are a bundle of whirling hormones and changes that tinker with cognitive functions and iron levels, while clobbering bones, teeth and gums. So pregnant women need to eat right to combat these annoyances while feeding baby folaterich foods and omega-3’s for proper development. Multifunctional broccoli provides a mother lode of calcium, folate, fiber and immune boosting Vitamin

C. Extra protein is best found from beans, lentils and eggs along with lean meats like grass-fed lamb to pump iron into the body for warding off pregnancy fatigue. Organic mozzarella, yogurts and kefir will bone up calcium, while nuts and nut butters, especially almonds and walnuts will enhance baby’s developing brain and mom’s absentminded one. Finally, to quash morning sickness dial up foods rich in B6’s and 12’s, such as, asparagus, turnip greens and hazelnuts. A Zoo Story Mothers of young children are transformed into zookeepers for high maintenance, mischievous little primates. It is estimated that a preschooler needs attention 210 times a day (and night), which can

cause sleep deprivation and foggy brain. This requires energy boosting fortification along with foods to keep moms on their toes. Go ape with bananas, a magnesium and potassium powerhouse for amping up energy, along with legumes and wheat germ. To heighten alertness omega-3’s keep brain cells well-lubricated and vibrant, which translates to thinking quick on your feet for keeping children safe and sound. Best choices include deep-sea, wild-caught treasures like salmon, herring, mackerel and sardines. While walnuts have been found to hike sleep regulating melatonin levels. So if you’re short on zzz’s, munch a bunch before bedtime. In addition, menstruating women require more iron than postmenopausal

ones to prevent anemia. Choose dark leafy greens, chickpeas and lentils, dried apricots, mollusks, egg yolks and artichokes. The Terrible Teens Moms of teenagers experience a period of temporary insanity when dealing with everything from raging hormones to SAT prep drama. Calming, stress-busting foods include the mighty sweet potato, a complex carb packed with Vitamins A, B and C. Green tea both energizes the spirit and soothes the soul with the powerful amino acid called L-theanine. The blissful Brazil nut is a selenium powerhouse, like nature’s Valium to reduce anxiety, while fostering a feeling of well-being. Green up with avocados to calm the jitters, regulate blood pressure and stimulate the

Smoked Salmon Frittata brain with friendly fats to help make solid judgment calls and boost problemsolving skills. A Sabbatical When the kids have left the nest this mom needs to focus on nutrition to support her new role as semi-retired matriarch. As women age they should boost their calcium-rich See SHRINK, page B26

Jumbo Loans Are Making a Comeback Jumbo loans are not only making a comeback; they are coming back in all shapes and sizes. Since the latter part of 2013, jumbo loans have been making headlines because something quite unprecedented happened: jumbo loan interest rates started to drop below conforming loan interest rates. Traditionally jumbo loan rates have been between 0.25 and 0.5 percent higher than conforming loan rates, and during

the financial crisis, the rates on jumbo loans skyrocketed. So why are jumbo loan interest rates uncharacteristically low? Making jumbo loans attractive is one way banks can attract wealthier clients. Such low interest rates make refinancing the loan unnecessary; therefore, the wealthy client stays with the bank longer and gives the bank the opportunity to sell the client other products, such as financial accounts and brokerage services. Also, wealthy clients are less likely to default on a loan. To make jumbo loans even more attractive, banks have started promoting shorter repayment periods: from 10-20 years,instead of the traditional 30-year mortgage. Wealthy clients can afford the larger monthly payments of a shorter term loan and still reap the tax benefits while paying less in interest. According to AnnaMaria Andriotis of the Wall Street Journal, much of the demand for shorter

term jumbo loans is for refinancing. Thanks to the low interest rates, existing borrowers may be able to maintain a similar monthly payment over a shorter period of time. Andriotis continues to say, “the starting rate on a 30-year fixed-rate jumbo is 4.5%, while the starting rate on a 10-year jumbo is about 3.4%. Over the life of a $1.5 million mortgage, borrowers will pay more than $1.2 million in interest with a 30-year period, compared with roughly $271,000 in interest with a 10-year term.” Another jumbo loan option currently promoted by banks is the 5/5 ARM. The jumbo 5/5 ARM has a fixed rate for the first five years, after which it resets to a new interest rate for the next five years – and so on throughout the life of the loan. The 5/5 ARM might give the borrower a better chance of receiving a lower interest rate at the point of reset than if the loan

adjusted annually. Some banks are offering incentives for this program, including waiving closing costs or offering rate-reset protection, which allows borrowers to adjust the rate earlier than scheduled. With low interest rates and a variety of incentives, a jumbo loan might be a great choice for you. However, it’s important to take your time, shop around, and ask the right questions. You have to make sure the terms are right for you, the rates are competitive, and that you fully understand the cap structure options on ARM loans. If you have any questions about jumbo loans, please don’t hesitate to contact me. With over 15 years of experience in the mortgage industry and an impressive track record of 100% on time closings, I look forward to finding you a loan to meet your needs.

Does your HOA have a Community Champion? Do you live in a homeowners association (HOA)? Do you know who your Community Manager is and what they do? Community Managers work hard to make the communities they serve be the best they can be. Melinda Young is one of these Champions. She is a dedicated Community Manager whose company manages communities like Torrey Hills Master Association, Canyon Ridge and the Lakes at Carmel Del Mar in Carmel Valley, and more than 125 HOAs throughout San Diego and Riverside Counties. Melinda Young is a California-certified Community Association Manager and a member of the California Association of Community Managers (CACM), the only community association management organization to offer California-specific education leading to a state-recognized certified Community Association Manager certification. Melinda Young tells us her story about being a Champion for her community. 1) How did you get into community management? Melinda: It was totally a fluke. In 1984, a friend of mine who worked for a community management company was looking for an assistant. The job sounded challenging and paid well, so I took it. I have been in community management ever since and love it. It was meant to be. 2) Tell us about your responsibilities as a community manager? Melinda: I have been with my current company for 17 years and currently serve as Senior Vice President. My organization works with all types of master-planned developments, totaling about 125 communities and 55,000 residences throughout San Diego and Riverside Counties. I have a lot of responsibilities, including managing property, interacting directly with homeowners and association board members, supervising employees, drafting HOA board policies and conducting orientations for new HOA boards and members, to name a few. 3) What do you like most about your career? Melinda: I work in an environment that is truly dynamic. There is always something new and different happening. The community management industry is always changing, and there are new things to learn all the time. I get to work with so many different types of people and professionals ranging from attorney and insurance providers to landscapers and board members. Ultimately, there is nothing in our industry that is ever boring, which is what I love! 4) What are the biggest challenges and rewards working with HOAs? Melinda: Right now, the biggest challenge I see is how to address water shortages going into the summer. California is in a prolonged drought and with a current shortage of water. We’re focused on conserving water in our communities as much as possible, with drought-resistant landscaping, for example. Another one of the biggest challenges is also the greatest reward. Community managers are in a people business. The challenge of working with HOAs is that we are working with volunteer boards of directors that have the capability of changing each year. Therefore, the personality of the board — who is our employer — changes every year. We have to balance the desires, wants and needs of different board members with a personality dynamic that is always changing. Community managers need to have the ability

Melinda Young

to tell people I don’t know but will find out for them. 6) What makes you a Community Champion? Melinda: I think what makes me a Community Champion is all of the contributions that no one notices. For example, you could have the best insurance in the world, but if you don’t need to use your policy, you won’t really know how great it is. If a community is maintained well, residents don’t see assessment increases, they get the information they need when they are supposed to. That kind of consistency is the greatest benefit we can provide. I am the best Community Champion when everything goes the way it is supposed to, without hiccups. There is value in being invested in a community. It’s then that the community thrives, property values are improved and, although it is a lot of hard work, it seems effortless. That is what I believe makes me a Community Champion. 7) How has CACM helped you better your professional capabilities? Melinda: CACM has helped me by providing an environment for mentorship and professional growth. I have been a CACM member for about 20 years. From early on, I have been able to learn from CACM. They exemplify professionalism in this industry with living, breathing examples of how to be a true community management professional. I became a certified community association manager (CCAM) with CACM in 1995. At that time, I had been in the business for 11 years but had never had formal training or education for my profession. The California-specific certification helped expand my knowledge, cement what I had already learned, and strengthened my existing skills and experience. Since then, I have taken various classes that have helped me be a better manager. I can share what I have learned with the boards, and it has helped me be a more confident community manager and supervisor. CACM education is professional and unbiased. For me, it is a tool that allows me to know where to find the answers and resources, which I believe is absolutely essential to success in my field. Does your community have a Champion like Melinda?

to work with people and to build consensus on a board in order to move toward their goals. Ultimately, the reward is working with fabulous people — those dedicated to their HOA who volunteer their time. You get to see the very best kind of people in my job. 5) What advice would you give a new community manager? Melinda: If you don’t know the answer to a question, say: “I don’t know, but I will find out.� As community managers, we are expected to know everything from how to read a set of civil engineering plans to putting on a holiday event for 300 people. We can’t know everything Note: Business spotlights are developed through this newsand can’t pretend we do. It paper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers. has never backfired for me

SHRINK continued from page B20 food intake to keep bones strong and put the skids on osteoporosis. Nothing beats sardines and wildcaught salmon (preferably canned in pure olive oil with calcium-rich skin and bones intact), low-fat dairy, enriched grains and dark leafy greens such as kale, spinach, chard and collards. Vitamin D is bones’ invaluable ally in helping absorb calcium from the gut. So fortified milk or organic eggs would do the trick. To keep a glowing and youthful complexion, guava is a collagen factory, while Vitamin A and K rich romaine lettuce revs up cellular turn over for a radiant glow. Finally, a chunk of chocolate as an ultimate mood elevator should she get a little lonely, especially bittersweet with cocoa content over 70 percent.

And when grandchildren enter the planet, time once again to hike up highpowered foods like complex carbs for stamina and battery recharging. Whip up this fortifying breakfast treat for your special girl on Mother’s Day. Smoked Salmon Frittata 12 eggs 8 ounces smoked salmon, sliced 1 red onion, chopped 1 teaspoon capers 1 red pepper, sliced in rings 4 ounces feta cheese 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil 3/4 cup plain Greek yoghurt Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a mixing bowl beat eggs, salmon, cheese, yoghurt and spices. In a large skillet heat oil on low and sauté onion and peppers until tender. Remove peppers; set aside.

Pour egg mixture in the pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then top with pepper rings and capers. Bake for another 20 minutes or until puffy and golden. For additional Mom’s Day recipes email kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.
