Conflict over land near Del Mar Fairgrounds a potential threat to state agencies agreement BY JOE TASH A dispute over a 4-acre piece of land next to the Del Mar Fairgrounds threatens to derail an agreement between two state agencies meant to settle a decadesold battle over alleged violations of the California Coastal Act. Eighteen months ago, the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, and the California Coastal Commission struck a deal to end the bad blood between the two agencies stemming from alleged Coastal Act violations by the fairgrounds. The Coastal Commission, at a hearing in San Diego on Friday, Oct. 11, conSee FAIRGROUNDS, page 22

TPHS promotes an environment of ‘understanding, acceptance and love’ through ‘Challenge Days’ BY KAREN BILLING Imagine this scene: A teenager having the confidence to stand in front of a room of peers and tearfully admit to vulnerability. She talks about the fact that she just moved to this country days ago and is a stranger in a new high school and misses her best friends. The reaction? A group of students stand to welcome her and offer their friendship, wrapping her up in genuine hugs. This is Torrey Pines High School during Challenge Days. Over four days, 500 students opt to go through the program, supported by facilitators from Challenge Day, a company based out of Concord, Calif. Since 1987, Challenge Day has led workshops to help break down barriers and promote a school environment that is based on “understanding, acceptance and love.” Simply put by one of the Torrey Pines Challenge Day students: “High school is really hard on everyone, what can we do to make it easier.” Through their workshop groups, students connect with people they see in the hallway every day but may never know what’s going on inside other students’ lives. Students are encouraged to share and give reasons of “if you really knew me, you would know…” “Even the people you least expect to have problems have them,” said one student. Jolana Bishay, who has led Challenge Days at schools across the country since 2004, calls the entire experience “heart-opening.” “They recognize that they’re not alone,” said Bishay. “The power of just being honest, of dropping the masks and See CHALLENGE, page 18

Top thinkers share ideas at Atlantic Meets Pacific confab BY PAT SHERMAN Some of the world’s foremost authorities on science, health and technology shared their ideas during the third annual The Atlantic Meets the Pacific conference, held last week on the campus of UC San Diego and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. During a panel discussion on innovative approaches to cancer treatment, Oct. 3 at Scripps Seaside Forum, Scott Lippman, director of the Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego, compared the current revolution in oncology to the rapid transformation in Internet and computer technology of the early 1900s. While cancers originating in the lungs, breasts or colon were once chiefly defined by their “site of origin,” today’s researchers are increasingly defining can-

An Oct. 3 panel on innovative approaches to cancer treatment included moderator James Fallows; Greg Sorenson, CEO of Siemens Healthcare North America; Christopher Slapak, senior vice-president of Imclone Systems; Kristina Vuori, president and interim CEO of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute; David Sadava, adjunct professor of cancer cell biology at City of Hope Medical Center; and Scott Lippman, director of the Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego.

cers by their “molecular signature,” Lippman noted. “It’s changing completely the way we define cancer,” he said. “Genomics is just the beginning. This is a change in the way we do trials, and a change in the way we develop drugs to treat cancer.” Drug trials that once dragged on for years and years are going by the wayside,” Lippman added. “We can actually look into a tumor; we have the technology to identify what drives them, what makes them tick” and what their weaknesses are. Kristina Vuori, president and interim chief executive officer of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in La Jolla, noted that while just a decade ago it was believed that breast cancer was a single disease, it is now known to be a mix of many different diseases. “We are making really great scientific advances in the classification of diseases,” she said. “Thanks to technological advances, we can take biopsies of tumors and do very detailed micro-level analysis.” Moving forward, Vuori said she hopes molecular diagnosis will be used to match a patient to the safest, most efficacious drug, based on their cancer’s molecular signature. Sanford-Burnham researchers are also making advances in understanding the process of metastasis — the spread of the cancer in the body from the organ where it began, to another part of the body. In solid tumors, 90 percent of patient deaths are due to metastasis, Vuori said.

Crews respond quickly to water line break in Rancho Santa Fe Six customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District (District) in Rancho Santa Fe were without water in the early morning of Oct. 15 as a result of a waterline break on Lago Lindo Lane. The eight inch waterline break was reported shortly before 1 a.m. District operations staff responded and isolated the pipeline within an hour. The leak was identified by District staff monitoring a SCADA system, a computerized system that reads the flow of water at different locations throughout the District’s 150 miles of pipeline. This enabled the immediate notification of District’s standby duty personnel to the location of the break and to shut off the water quickly. The cause of the break is under investigation; however, cooler weather and roots from an adjacent tree may have played a role in the break. Also, due to the cross country location of the pipeline break, there has been some erosion in the area of the leak and District crews were assessing the extent of any collateral damage that may have occurred. Water was restored to all customers by 9:30 a.m., and staff has already contacted affected customers and is assisting cleanup efforts. Visit ww.sfidwater.org. — Santa Fe Irrigation District report

Local author updates iconic self-help bestseller, helps others persevere BY PAT SHERMAN In 1908, the richest man in the world, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, tapped an unknown writer named Napoleon Hill to interview the wealthiest and most influential men in the world — people such as department store founders James Cash (J.C.) Penney and F.W. Woolworth; Thomas Alva Edison; George Eastman; and President Theodore Roosevelt. The resulting book became one of the top-20 bestselling books in history,“Think and Grow Rich.” A hundred years later, the Napoleon Hill Foundation tasked local author Greg S. Reid with interviewing some of today’s top wealth-producers and innovators for an update of the book. The result, “Think and Grow Rich: Stickability (the Power of Perseverance)” includes interviews with everyone from Frank Shankwitz, the founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, to Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and inventor Martin Cooper. “People couldn’t relate to J.C. Penney and Woolworth and those people of the past, so I went to modern day, iconic figures, interviewing them to find out what they did to persevere,” said Reid, a former advertising executive who grew up in Del Mar. “I was watching ‘60 Minutes,’ and I saw Marty Cooper and I said, ‘I’ve got to interview that guy because he invented the cellular phone.’ Two days later I’m in his office picking his brain and he gave me some of the greatest words of wisdom I’ve ever heard. “One of the things that Marty said is that stickability has to be parallel with another word: flexibility. He says if you’re not willing to adapt and adjust, you’ll end up being stuck. … Right now what you think might be saving you is leading to your demise. The whole idea of stickablity is having the flexibility to sometimes let go, so you can live to fight another day.” Also interviewed in the book is WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg; Anouseh Ansari, the first female private space explorer; three-time Olympic Gold medalist Leah O’Brien-

“Most people have a great idea … (but they) quit during the challenge. I wanted to interview people to find out why they didn’t give up on their dream when other people said they were crazy — and more importantly, they didn’t talk themselves out of their goal.” Reid said one of the most common ways in which his interview subjects said they made it through challenging times was to commit themselves to a cause or ideal greater than themselves. “If we just do it for our own success … it’s easy to quit when the going gets tough,” he said. “When you’re committed to something, rather than just being interested in it, that’s where the miracle happens.” Reid will hold a seminar outlining the principles of stickability, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 21-22 at the San Diego Marriott La Jolla, 4240 La Jolla Village Drive. The cost is $199 and includes admittance to the premiere of the movie, “Stickablity,” Oct. 21 at ArcLight Cinemas in the UTC Westfield Mall. For tickets or more information, e-mail GM@bookgreg.com or visit stick-ability.com

Author Greg S. Reid poses with a gold miner statue he received as an award. Reid is co-author of several books, including ‘Three Feet from Gold: Turn Your Obstacles in Opportunities.’ Pat Sherman Amico; Ron Klein, inventor of magnetic strip credit card technology; and film producer Gary Goldstein (“Pretty Woman,” “Mothman Prophecies”). “Imagine pitching a romantic love story about a prostitute to Disney?” Reid said of the 1990 Julia Roberts/Richard Gere hit, “Pretty Woman.” “[Goldstein] says that movies die a thousand deaths before they ever breathe life into them, and he talked about the challenges he went through on his journey, and about having stickablity when he believed in a script, and not letting other people talk him out of it.” While Reid said Hill’s original version of “Think and Grow Rich” focused more on personal achievement and wealth-building, his update “is about not quitting and giving up on your dream before the miracle arrives.

TPHS Foundation to host annual Teacher Mini Grant Night Oct. 23 The Torrey Pines High School Foundation will hold its annual Teacher Mini Grant Night on Wednesday, Oct. 23 from 6- 7:30 p.m. in the TPHS gymnasium. Parents will have the opportunity to donate directly to their students’ classrooms to fund specific requests submitted by teachers. “Each year, TPHS teachers submit Mini Grant applications for their classrooms and the current wish list amounts to $20,000,” states Foundation Director, Bobbi Karlson. “This amount represents requests from all departments such as English, Special Education, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, World Languages, and Visual and Performing Arts, just to name a few. “ Event Chairs Germana Sanna and Cinda Kemper understand the importance of this program. “Because school budgets are so tight, teachers look for additional funding for items ranging from school and office supplies to electronics and technology”, says Kemper. “We rely on our Torrey Pines parents to fund these items and enrich the classroom experience for all students.” Anastasia Kokkinis, TPHS AVID and English teacher, finds this program invaluable. “As teachers, we undoubtedly spend our own money from time to time on supplies; but Foundation Mini Grants allow for more significant educational experiences, especially with curriculum, documentaries, and art supplies for community service projects,” states Kokkinis. “We are so appreciative of all the money raised on our behalf that allows us to do what we do best.” Teacher Mini Grant Night will feature food from area restaurants such as Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza and Woody’s Solana Beach, as well as entertainment by the TPHS Cheer Squad, Dance Team and the new TP Improv group. Admission is $10. To attend the event, please contact the Foundation office at (858) 793-3551 or go to torreypinesfoundation.org for more information.

Solana Santa Fe Elementary School Education Fund ‘Red Envelope’ campaign ends soon; Donations still needed

The Solana Santa Fe Elementary Education Fund campaign runs through Nov. 1, 2013 this year. “The reason we raise most of our funds in the beginning of the school year is to put all the donations to work right away” said Education Fund Co-chair Susie Mikolajewski. This year’s goal is to raise $232,000 or the fair share of $600 per child. According to Mikolajewski and fellow cochair Nora Balikian, the drive is going well but they are hoping for 100 percent participation from all parents. “Currently around 60 percent of our parents have donated” Balikian said. The school has moved away from doing many events and auctions as a way to raise funds. The “Red Envelope” campaign has been a huge success in the past few years and the way parents feel most comfortable contributing to the school. Balikian said, “We have been very lucky that Isabella Costa and Layton Allen help with the Solana we’re are blessed with generSanta Fe Education Fund’s “Red Envelope” campaign. ous families who believe in the public school educational system and this formula of enhancing our children’s educational experience.” The PTO’s fund helps provide invaluable programs and events, such as science, PE, music and art, as well as various enrichment and other projects throughout the year. Without those funds, “We would not be able to have the Back-to-School BBQ, the Books and Beyond reading program, Ocean Week, Red Ribbon Week, The Spring Fling, our fabulous art show, field trips, Running Coyote Club, the garden, monthly science programs and club,” said PTO President Holly Bauer. They also have an active business sponsorship program where local businesses have the opportunity to sponsor events at the school and advertise in the school directory and yearbook. Another wonderful way to raise fund was the creation of the SSF Grandparent’s Club. Many grandparents have generously contributed to the “Red Envelope” campaign so far.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

TPHS grad launches publishing company to publish debut novel BY KRISTINA HOUCK At just 14 years old, Nigel Schroeder wrote a series of articles on the Del Mar racetrack for the “Del Mar Times.” Now 24, the local native has launched his own publishing company to release his first novel. “I’m hoping to accumulate a collection of writers from the coast in the next few years,” Schroeder said. “I’ll go first, and I’m just hoping people will rise up and join me. I’d love to put out some really awesome work in the coming years.” With the help of his father, Schroeder established Tired Coast Publishing this year, which will publish his debut novel, “James Buffalo & A Fit of Bad Dharma,” in November. Set in California, the “Tired Coast,” James Buffalo struggles with “bad dharma,” which Schroeder describes as the freefall sensation of wanting good things while doing selfdestructive things. During the story, Buffalo falls in love with his mind, memories of youth, innocence, drugs and, of course, a woman. “This novel is very close to my heart, because it’s about a kid growing up on the West Coast,” Schroeder said. Born in Detroit, Schroeder briefly lived in Northern California and Portland, Ore., before his family moved to Del Mar when he was 8 years old. The book is somewhat inspired by his life experiences, Schroeder said. “Everyone kind of feels the weight of suffering,” Schroeder said. “How do you take the parts of your life you may not enjoy and turn them into something good? How do you burn that nervous energy and create something positive? I think writing the book was probably the happiest I’ve ever been while I was doing it, because I was just burning all that energy and creating.” Schroeder has always wanted to be a writer. He wrote short stories as a child in addition to the series of articles on the racetrack as a student contributor for the “Del Mar Times.” But Schroeder didn’t begin writing his first novel until he enrolled in a fiction writing class during his junior year at San Diego State University. “It really just became addictive,” said Schroeder, a Torrey Pines High School alumnus. “I wrote a lot during that

if I wrote a mainstream book,’” he said. “It’s a really fun, honest piece of work. I was completely open in terms of providing a window into my soul at the time when I was writing this. It’s not a vampire book. “My thought was just go for it. Why try to appeal to this massive machine when you can just rise up yourself?” To help fund the project, Schroeder is utilizing Kickstarter, an online funding platform for creative projects. Funds will help cover the costs of editing and copyrighting the book, obtaining an ISBN number, printing paperback copies and publishing an electronic version of the book, which will be available through Amazon. Schroeder’s campaign ends on Oct. 19. As of Oct. 14, 93 backers have pledged $3,775, exceeding his $3,500 goal. “Kickstarter has been helpful in funding the project and getting awareness out,” Schroeder said. “It shows that they believe in what I’m thinking. I don’t see it as just a ‘me thing,’ I see it as a collective of like-minded people. “It’s time to rise up and put out really good art, regardless if you’re with a really big publisher or not. If you have to hand your story out on a subway, then do that,” he added. “I think the era of the big publishers is about to come crashing down. My plan is to drive that sword forward.” To donate on Kickstarter, visit www.kickstarter.com/ projects/jamesbuffalo/james-buffalo-and-a-fit-of-bad-dharma-a-novel For more information about Schroeder, visit www.nigelschroeder.com.

I didn’t know it would be so addicting.” It was so addicting that Schroeder enrolled in another class with the same professor the following semester. Schroeder’s professor and classmates — most of whom were English majors — encouraged him to finish his novel, which he did during his senior year. Schroeder graduated with a bachelor’s in marketing and a minor in anthropology in 2012. He’s currently working as an associate project manager at Covario, a marketing agency

headquartered in San Diego. When he’s not at work, playing ice hockey or surfing, Schroeder dedicates his time to writing and building his publishing company. “The more I learned about the process of publishing a book, the more I was like, ‘Well, I don’t know

The Sam S. and Rose Stein Emergency Care Center dials 911, the RSF Auxiliary Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital answers the call… The Sam S. and Rose Stein Emergency Care Center at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego, which opened in 1993, is the only emergency care center in the region dedicated to caring for children and the only Level 1 pediatric trauma center in San Diego County. Back in 1993, the hospital’s Emergency Department (ED) was built to support up to 25,000 visits a year. Now, 20 years later, Rady Children’s Hospital receives approximately 70,000 emergency care visits each year. This means that the ED is currently servicing San Diego County at 280 percent of the level anticipated in 1993. To help address this phenomenal growth, on Jan. 25, 2014 at the Grand Del Mar, the Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, Rancho Santa Fe Unit will dedicate its annual fundraising Gala to support the expansion, staffing and upgrading of the Emergency Department. “The Emergency Department at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego is our ‘front door’ in providing clinical expertise with compassion and rapid response to assure optimum outcomes for our pediatric patients. Our nursing, physician, and ancillary staff provide comprehensive care for everything from broken bones, respiratory ailments, flu symptoms and unusual rashes to traumatic injuries from falls, motor vehicle accidents, or bike collisions”, said LesleyAnn Carlson, director, Emergency Care Center. As the numbers attest, San Diego families have come to depend on the emergency services offered by Rady Children’s Hospital. The Abbouds are just one of the families who are grateful for the outstanding team at the ED. The Abbouds’ daughter Anastasie (Tasie) almost died when a 250-pound statue fell on her. The emergency medical team from Rady Children’s Hospital saved the little girl, who had severe head injuries and complications. The Healing Arts program also played a major role in her recovery. Tasie’s rapid recovery exceeded everyone’s expectations, and she was released sooner than anyone had predicted. Amazingly, she is now doing incredibly well in a language immersion kindergarten!

Local world-record traveler returns from another unique journey BY KAREN BILLING Local resident and world-record traveler Bill Altaffer recently went around the world in 50 days. His trip included travels through Russia, China and North Korea. His journey began in St. Petersburg, Russia, with a small group of six Americans through Valor Tours, supported by MIR Corporation in Seattle. The group was on a 29-day tour of the 13 “Hero Cities” of Russia — Ukraine and Belarus. The cities were honored as Hero Cities for the unique bravery of their citizens; the former Soviet Union lost close to 27 million people in World War II. Traveling by train, Altaffer saw the “fairy tale glow of lights on Russian Orthodox domes” in Moscow; Volgograd, the former Stalingrad where one of the most important battles resulted in Hitler’s first major defeat on the Eastern Front; and Novorossiysk where, in 1942, a small unit of Soviet soldiers were able to defend the beachhead for 225 days. They were the first American tour group to visit the Sudak Fortress in Kerch on the Crimean peninsula. The extensive underground fortress was built using proceeds from the sale of Alaska. Altaffer visited the Kiev concentration camp Babi Yar where more than 30,000 Jews were murdered and Minsk, the capital of Belarus, “a living testimony to the atrocities of WWII where half of its population perished.” While he visited many war museums and memorials, the Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War was the largest of its kind in the world and especially sobering was the Yama Memorial (the Ditch) that memorialized 5,000 Jews killed in 1942. From Minsk, Altaffer flew 14 hours via Dubai to Zhengzhou, China. “We were among the few foreigners in the interior of China,” Altaffer said. “If you have not been to China in the last few years, it has changed. There are more modern and clean attractions everywhere. Resort hotels are everywhere and there are many top restaurants.” His group visited Luoyang, the home of Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple and Mount Huashan, one of the five sacred Taoist mountains. “Narrow stone stairs, some with dizzying vistas, lead up the steep crags and temples, statues and pavilions are tucked among the rocks,” Altaffer said of Mt. Huashan. They flew to Lijiang in the Yunnan Province, an alpine hamlet near the northern tip of the Himalayas, where they saw the Black Dragon Pool Park with 500 varieties of flowers and China’s first national park Pudacuo, which has wetlands surrounding two lakes and is home to more than 100 endangered species. They drove to Zhongdian and to the Tiger Leaping Gorge above the turbulent Yangtze River, then took a fourhour flight through Kunming to the ancient city of Ping Yao. Ping Yao is surrounded by a city wall 6.4 km long with 72 ornate towers, known as the first city in North China and no vehicles are allowed in the city. From Beijing, they flew to North Korea, where Altaffer has been five times. Their Korean International Travel Agency guides met them at the airport for their 10-day trip, the limit for Americans. They saw Ancient Buddist temples, the 105-story pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel and watched the Arirang show known as the Mass Games, recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest spectacle of people anywhere in the world. They traveled to the DMZ (demilitarized zone) with South Korea. There, hot water is available only once or twice a day, there’s a lack of easy access to electric plugs, the state holds onto your passport and you must present flowers and bow to the statutes of great leaders, Altaffer said. “Walking around on your own will not happen. Also, it may bother you to be completely unreachable to the outside world,” Altaffer said. The group visited Kumsusan, the Sun’s Memorial Palace, which Altaffer described as one of the top five experiences of his life.

(Clockwise from above left) Bill Altaffer; Kiev; Yalta; North Korea. Courtesy photos “Words cannot describe it,” Altaffer said. Photos are not allowed so he has no evidence of its grandeur — tons of marble, manicured gardens and people-movers. He said visitors must deposit all of their items at a cloak room, bow multiple times and move in a military-style group. “Most in my group agreed it was like going to a different planet, such as Mars, with people on it, but truly at the other end of the travel spectrum,” Altaffer said. Altaffer holds the world record for visiting the most UNESCO World Heritage sites (892 of 936), as well as being the third most-traveled person in the world. (World Heritage sites are natural and cultural places that are considered to have “outstanding universal value.”) He’s visited all 192 UN countries, plus 300 island groups, exhausted 14 passports and 130 visas, surfed on every continent and skied on seven of them, visited both the North and South Poles and has been to Siberia 20 times.

ƪȯȼȱȶȽΎƫȯȼɂȯΎƞȳΎƪȳȯȺΎƝɁɂȯɂȳ˶ΎƢȯȼ˹ƫȳȾɂΎ̱̯̰̲ΎƫɃȻȻȯɀɇ Rancho Santa Fe real estate (defined for the purpose of this analysis as all attached and detached residential properties listed with the San Diego Multiple Listing Service for the 92067 and 92091 zip codes) continues to improve quarter-by-quarter. Last year, 69 properties sold in the third quarter. This year, 84 properties sold. Quarter-by-quarter, 2013 continues to exceed 2012. Stepping back, comparing the first nine months of 2013 with those of 2012, sales are up 21.2%. While overall inventory and median sold price remain relatively unchanged, properties did sell faster and closer to original list price. Average marketing time declined from 9 months to 6 months and the median discount from original list price declined from 16.25% to 9.05%. Not only did more sellers sell their homes, but they sold them faster and got closer to their asking price, than sellers in 2012. However, this overall steady march of stability masks some of the triumphs and struggles of the submarkets that comprise it. Most of the continuous strength of the overall market has come from its lower-priced submarkets. As we will see below, this skew causes Rancho Santa Fe’s overall market performance to under-state its strengths and opportunities. Nestled on 2.63 view acres of private, gated and lush grounds in one of Rancho Santa Fe Covenant’s best areas, this connoisseur’s estate celebrates the art of fine living and entertaining. Encompassing nearly 7,200 square feet of architecturally soothing interiors with soft contemporary influences, the residence includes 6 bedrooms, 8 full and 2 half baths

ƧˎȳɀȳȲΎȯɂΎ̳͘˴̴̯̯˴̯̯̯

Original Listing Price: less than $3 million This submarket continues to thrive by having the largest median sold price appreciation of any submarket in Rancho Santa Fe. For all properties sold in Rancho Santa Fe during the first nine months of 2012 with an original listing price less than $3 million, the median sold price was $1,625,000 versus $1,777,500 for that same period in 2013. Most of this 9.4% property value appreciation came from both a lower supply and a higher demand. The average daily inventory for January through September was down from 128 properties in 2012 to 118 properties in 2013. Of all the submarkets in Rancho Santa Fe, this 7.7% decline was the largest year-over-over inventory change than any other submarket. Inventory for this submarket has been on the decline for the last 3 years. Since the beginning of 2012, supply has been bouncing between 110130 properties, slowly and steadily creating what appears to be a resistance floor at 110. This stability, along with a slowly recovering macro-economy, has attracted an inordinate number of motivated buyers in 2013 that have increased the number of sales by 25.6%. Not only did 172 properties sell in 2013, during this nine month period, versus 134 for the same 2012 period, buy they sold 35% faster and much closer to their original list price.

This five bedroom all en-suite, two-story residence, in the posh guard-gated community of Rancho Pacifica, is perched on a private, elevated lot and possesses the enviable architecture of a Mediterranean-inspired Villa. The estate sits on nearly an acre of beautiful, very private grounds with a stunning pool, gracious waterfall, spa, guest casita with bath and wet bar, classical gardens with mature trees, lush lawns, and bubbling fountains. Garaging for 7 cars.

Much of the dynamics of this submarket has paralleled the submarket below it. When the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market started to recover, very little of that recovery could be seen in properties originally listed above $3 million. Slowly, that improvement started to creep into this $3 million - $5 million, higher-priced submarket. One could watch the improvement percolate up, until the performance of this submarket was generally indiscernible from the one below it. Currently, in most respects, there is little directional differentiation between the performances of these two submarkets. When comparing the first nine months of 2012 to 2013, the number of properties sold increased 36.6% for properties with an original listing price between $3 million - $5 million. This was higher than any other submarket in Rancho Santa Fe. Median price also increased 5.3%, going from $3,000,000 to $3,158,800. Just like the submarket below it, these properties also sold 13.6% faster and much closer to their original asking price.

Of all the submarkets in Rancho Santa Fe, this was the only one to have fewer sales in 2013, than the same first nine months of 2012. Sales dramatically declined 47.8%. 23 sales in 2012. 12 in 2013. Fortuitously, median sold price only modestly declined by 1.0% from $5,000,000 to $4,950,000 (but given that only 12 properties sold in 2013, I would not give that much meaning). Despite the fall in demand, average marketing time decreased from 637 days to 453 days and the median discount from original listing price to sold decreased from 30.42% to 18.16%. This suggests lower absolute demand but stronger, individual, relative demand. Of course, this is not a submarket that everyone can afford; however, clearly there are some buyers eager to take advantage of the weakness of this submarket. While the submarkets below it may be confronted with fair value issues as their markets heat up, this market appears to be offering potential buyers values that may not be seen in a long time.

NCL Ticktockers Hanna Schulman and Madison Cavanagh. Tasha Valdez, president of San Diego Del Norte Chapter, announcing this yeat’s theme, “Connected Hearts.”

NCL San Diego Del Norte Chapter holds motherdaughter fall kick-off ‘Connected Hearts’ Tasha Valdez, president of the 328-member strong San Diego Del Norte National Charity League Chapter and her team did a great job organizing the best Annual Fall Kickoff ever with darling skits and songs from each class. There was a special presentation, “Connecting With Your Daughter’s Heart,” by inspiring guest speaker Cindi McMena Min, author of the newly released book: “When a Mother Inspires Her Daughter.” Senior Ticktockers made a great impact on the entire chapter with Samantha Mueller, a senior at Cathedral Catholic, and class president, leading the flag salute; Cameron Klaus, a senior at Bishop’s and Inspiration Officer, sharing a wonderful poem, and Senior Project Chairs Madison Cavanagh, senior at Torrey Pines High School, and Haley Klaus, a senior at Pacific Ridge, giving an overview of the significance of a recent Military Outreach Ministry event. There was an inspirational Service Awards Ceremony, including the “Mother Daughter Awards” given to 34 Mother-Daughter teams that had served at least 25 hours together on location at the many philanthropies the Chapter serves. Awards Certificates and precious yellow roses in decorated mason jars (see podium photo of Tasha) were delivered personally to the recipients tables by younger Ticktockers. The Chapter is pleased to announce its major awards recipients: Madison Cavanagh, of Del Mar and a senior at Torrey Pines High School, won an Hourglass Award for the Ticktocker who completes 100 service hours in combined Chapter philanthropies in addition to the required 25 hours for a total of 125 service hours. Hanna Schulman, of Rancho Santa Fe and a junior at Pacific Ridge, also received the Hourglass Award, and went on to be awarded the Heart of Gold Award and The Merci Award for the Ticktocker who served the most philanthropic service hours for the entire Chapter last year. Congratulations to both these outstanding young women and leaders.

Cancer gene: Chabad Jewish Center of RSF presents six-week course ‘on how Jewish law views this modern day medical dilemma’ The risk of carrying a BRCA gene mutation that causes breast and ovarian cancer is 10 times greater among women of Ashkenazi Jewish descent than among the general population. With growing concern over what preventive measures Jewish women should take, the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) in RSF is offering a six-week course on how Jewish law views this modern-day medical dilemma. The classes, being held for six Mondays starting Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at Morgan Run Club & Resort, will explore the biblical requirement to safeguard one’s health, and whether it obligates Jews of Ashkenazi descent to test for BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 gene mutations. Even more importantly, it will discuss whether Jewish law recommends women to undergo radical mastectomies or oophorectomies in case they do test positive, in order to save their lives. The first class, titled “An Ounce of Prevention: BRCA, Genetic Testing, and Preventive Measures,” is being offered by JLI in 362 communities in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The course is accredited for Continuing Medical and Legal Education, and can help medical professionals develop a greater sensitivity to the concerns and decisions facing some of their Jewish patients. “Some 1,500 years ago when rabbinic scholars wrote the Talmud, they didn’t have questions about screening for cancer genes like we have today,” said Rabbi Levi Raskin. “However, there are guiding principles found in the Talmud that can help us determine how to respond to these very perplexing and life-altering medical quandaries. One of the Talmud’s most important lessons that must guide our response is that saving one life is like saving an entire world.” Call 858-756-7571 or visit www.jewishRSFcom for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in RSF by the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF.

CONFAB continued from page 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we now know is that in every cancer there is something that we call a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cancer stem cellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that originally causes the tumor to happen,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the culprit for why the cancer comes back after treatment. You can think of this cancer stem cell or tumor-initiating cells as a queen in a beehive. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t destroy that queen, the beehive keeps coming back.â&#x20AC;? Greg Sorenson, chief executive officer of Siemens Healthcare North America, said personalized medicine could help prevent cancer patients from being treated with drugs that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We as a system need to figure out ways to incentivize early and efficient diagnosis,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody talks a lot about costs these days, but the most wasted healthcare dollar is the one that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even need to spend because you got the wrong diagnosis.â&#x20AC;? Asked what aspect of cancer the panelists find most difficult to explain to patients and others not involved in the field of oncology, answers ranged from

Rancho Santa Fe Review the fact that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to know what causes most cancers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; be it external, internal or genetic factors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the time it takes to develop and get safe and effective cancer treatments on the market (as long as 7 to 10 years, on average). Rather than discovering a panacea or â&#x20AC;&#x153;magic bulletâ&#x20AC;? for cancer, Vuori and Lippman said it is a more realistic goal to make cancer a chronic, manageable disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have some cures for some types, but my belief and my hope is that we can convert most cancers into chronic diseases, like heart disease or high blood pressure,â&#x20AC;? Lippman said. The tech effect During a panel on the ways technology is changing the patient experience, Peter Yu, president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, said technology should be employed to create a better record of patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, cancer is not curable in most cases â&#x20AC;Ś and so there are painful choices,â&#x20AC;? Yu said, noting that the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;quality of lifeâ&#x20AC;? can be difficult to define. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have ways for patients to give us that information,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Pat Christen, president and CEO of HopeLab, talked about how her organization is helping adolescents with cancer deal with their disease though a series of online video games called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ReMission 2.â&#x20AC;? Christen said that when HopeLab developed the initial version of the game, they found â&#x20AC;&#x153;shockingly horribleâ&#x20AC;? technology in many hospitals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You often hear about virtual divides â&#x20AC;Ś in the context of patients not having access to computers or the Internet or Smartphones,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting the need to get technology in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;meaningful to them, and in a context that makes sense.â&#x20AC;? In the case of teen cancer patients stuck for long periods in waiting rooms, Christen said the game proved â&#x20AC;&#x153;very engaging for them, and emotionally salient,â&#x20AC;? helping them view their treatment as an adventure and fight to be engaged in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Data is incredibly important, incredibly powerful,â&#x20AC;? Christen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be making evidencebased decisions, but people do not change behavior based on data. They change behavior when something is emotionally salient to

them.â&#x20AC;? In order to get people to change their eating habits, take medications or quit smoking, she said, the healthcare industry must pay closer attention to shifts in behavior that are constantly taking place â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for instance, how memes and trends move through a culture, Christen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often used for things that are not good for our health, but there is no reason they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used for things that are pro-health,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Millions and millions of dollars get invested in making sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying the right car or the right perfume. If we had that same impetus we could make some pretty dramatic shiftsâ&#x20AC;? in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health habits, she said. Jordan Shlain, founder and chair of HealthLoop, said health practitioners should be approaching the problem from a standpoint of â&#x20AC;&#x153;choice architecture,â&#x20AC;? which is used in marketing and product placement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you make something easy for somebody at the time they want to do it, they will do it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

CHALLENGE continued from page 1 getting real with each other allows them to connect across lines of difference. They get to break outside of judgments and stereotypes and get empowered to create change in their lives, and they have this amazing group to do it with.â&#x20AC;? Students open up about everything from eating disorders to watching their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marriage fall apart. Students speak about facing racism, finding acceptance for their sexuality, having physical challenges and just being â&#x20AC;&#x153;different.â&#x20AC;? One student, in his third year at Challenge Day, rejected the idea that anyone is truly â&#x20AC;&#x153;different,â&#x20AC;? imploring his fellow students to compare thumbprints. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is better,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never think you are better than someone. We are all equal.â&#x20AC;? Teacher Don Hollins, who planned Challenge Days at TPHS and participated in all four days, is always amazed by the gratitude, respect and kindness he sees from the students

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; event those who initially appeared skeptical about the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more open now,â&#x20AC;? said one student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My freshman year, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting that much comfort and tolerance for what I had to say.â&#x20AC;? One student said her mother encouraged her to do Challenge Days. The student said she felt more relaxed and like a weight had been lifted after she was able to express herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never any less amazing,â&#x20AC;? said one student in her second year participating in Challenge Days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of things can happen in a year, we face new problems every year. Challenge Day has given me the strength to look into myself and fix my own life and be the change I want to see in my own life.â&#x20AC;? The student said last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge Days event empowered her to break up with a boyfriend who hit her. Parent Anastasia Rose volunteered at the Challenge Days event for the first time this year, and her daughter participated in the program. She hoped to have

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update Superintendent Rick Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through the local media with a monthly update. Topics covered will include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on curriculum and facilities. BY RICK SCHMITT SDUHSD COMMON CORE TRANSITION UPDATE With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English/Language Arts and Mathematics, one of the first and most important decisions facing high school districts is the selection of a curricular pathway for high school mathematics. San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) is currently planning for a gradual & multi-year CCSS implementa-Rick Schmitt tion, beginning with the 2014-15 school year. The CCSS for high school mathematics include two different curricular pathways - the “Traditional” pathway and the “Integrated” pathway. Each pathway represents a different approach to understanding and teaching math. The Traditional curricular pathway organizes math curriculum into discrete sub-areas within the larger discipline of mathematics and the associated course sequence reflects this by separating the math curriculum into separate Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II courses. The Integrated curricular pathway approaches the various sub-disciplines of math as interrelated parts of a whole and therefore includes content from Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Statistics throughout a sequence of three courses (Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, and Integrated Math III). The CCSS Math curriculum in grades K-8 is an integrated curriculum so the decision for high school districts centers on the curricular approach for high school math courses.

be completed by mid-December. •Transition Plan: Also by December, we will have a plan for how to transition our current middle school students into the new high school course sequences. Middle and high schools students who are currently in Geometry or higher courses will continue through our existing traditional course sequences as we phase this sequence out as our current students graduate over the next four years. •Alignment with Feeder Districts: We are working closely with the five districts that send students to our district for middle and high school to ensure that our curricula and course sequences are aligned allowing for smooth academic transitions for our incoming students. Those districts are Cardiff, Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and Solana Beach. In the coming months we will conduct a number of public meetings at our schools and in conjunction with our feeder districts to inform our students and families about the changes inherent to the Common Core standards for both English/Language Arts and Mathematics, with particular focus on the changes in our math course sequences. Our transition to the Common Core standards will be a gradual, multi-year process accomplished through the provision of ongoing high quality professional development for all of our teachers and through productive experimentation and collaboration among our teachers. We are excited about this new approach to educating our young people and firmly believe that the 21st century skills emphasized in our new standards will prepare our students for post-secondary success. We will announce our public meetings through this publication, the SDUHSD website (www.sdushd.net), individual school websites, Facebook, Twitter, area elementary district websites, and via email to our 12,000 plus SDUHSD families. You can follow Superintendent Schmitt on Facebook, (https://www.facebook.com/sduhsd), and Twitter, (https://twitter.com/SDUHSD_Supt).

Family Forum to be held on ‘5 Things Parents of Teens Need To Know’

While the Traditional pathway is likely familiar to those who attended high school in the United States, an integrated curricular approach to mathematics is the dominant approach to teaching math in the rest of the world. Proponents of an integrated approach argue that it helps students see the natural inter-connections between different areas of mathematics and that the approach better reflects how mathematics is applied outside of the school setting. From engineering to personal finance to the construction of a backyard shed, “real world” problems almost always require us to appropriately apply different types of math simultaneously, rather than requiring only algebra or geometry in isolation from each other. Many mathematicians believe that helping students understand how the different sub-disciplines of math inter-relate and how to appropriately and simultaneously apply different types of math to solve complex problems is crucial to developing deep understanding and the practical application of mathematics among our students. Further, when students move through the Traditional pathway, there are extended gaps in time during which they do not study parts of math (i.e., a gap of a full year between Algebra I & Algebra II) leading to a lack of retention over time. Because an integrated approach teaches concepts from algebra, geometry, and statistics each year, there is less opportunity for students to “forget” what they’ve learned of each. Finally, the new standardized math assessment tied to the CCSS that all 11th graders will take, along with the various college math readiness assessments (SAT, ACT, & EAP), are all integrated summative math assessments - they do not test math knowledge and skills as separate disciplines, instead testing all of the areas of math collectively. The integrated approach to math is not a new concept. Not only has it been the dominant approach to teaching math outside of the United States for more than a century (including in all of the highest achieving countries in the world), but it is an approach that has been used by a number of districts throughout the United States for decades. Further, colleges and universities around the country have, and will continue to, view both the Integrated and Traditional pathways as rigorous and appropriate college preparatory math curricula. In April of 2013, the University of California took the unusual step of releasing a formal public statement in which the UC acknowledged that while the Traditional pathway is historically the more typical curricular approach in the U.S., the UC views the Integrated pathway as an equally viable and appropriate college preparatory curricular approach. Over the last several months, SDUHSD Math teachers have engaged in the study of the two different curricular pathways and discussed the advantages of each approach. Ultimately, the unanimous recommendation of our Math Department Chairs was to adopt the Integrated curricular pathway in our district. With this decision made, we have begun work on several key tasks: •UC Approval: We have begun work on submitting Integrated Math I, II, & III courses to the UC for formal approval. We anticipate approval this spring. •Instructional Materials: With new courses come new instructional materials and textbooks. We have begun the process of researching instructional materials and textbooks for the new Integrated courses for adoption for the 2014-15 school year. •Course Sequencing: We have begun discussion of the various course sequencing options from grades 7-12. Just as we do currently, we plan to continue to offer students standard college preparatory courses, honors/accelerated options, a full complement of Advanced Placement (AP) math courses, and opportunities for students to advance through course sequences more rapidly in order to allow access to advanced and AP courses earlier in the high school years. Additionally, we will continue to offer support and intervention courses for students who struggle with mathematics. Our course sequences and options will

FAIRGROUNDS continued from page 1 sidered a permit application by the 22nd DAA to settle one major element of the dispute. Under the March 2012 accord, the 22nd DAA agreed to spend $5 million to $7 million restore its south overflow parking lot, a 9.5-acre dirt area used during major events such as the San Diego County Fair and annual summer horse racing meet, into wetlands habitat. In return, the Coastal Commission said the fairgrounds could use its east overflow lot, another dirt area, for event parking and other purposes such as storage, and annual pumpkin and Christmas tree sales. The 22nd DAA was required to apply for a permit regarding its plans for the two overflow lots. On Friday, a coalition of environmental groups led by County Supervisor Dave Roberts and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, convinced the commission to postpone its decision on the permit until the panel’s November meeting. At issue is the southernmost section of the east overflow lot, which the environmentalists said should also be set aside for future wetlands restoration.

Rancho Santa Fe Review The 22nd DAA balked at giving up the parcel, estimated at 4 acres. “It does not work. We can’t afford to lose 1,500 parking spaces (from the east lot) on top of the 1,200 we’ve already lost (from the south lot),” said 22nd DAA board member Adam Day, who helped negotiate the deal with the Coastal Commission. After the commission voted 9-2 to postpone its decision, Day said, “If we can’t use the east overflow lot, then there’s no deal. It’s all inter-connected.” If the deal falls apart, Day said, the 22nd DAA would not restore the south overflow lot to wetlands. But Roberts and others from the environmental groups said the 22nd DAA does have other options for parking, which were identified in a parking study conducted by the agency. One option was to use the parking lot at Cathedral Catholic High School on Del Mar Heights Road as a satellite parking lot, where fair- and race-goers could catch shuttle buses to the fairgrounds. Roberts said he is willing to clear his calendar to work on a compromise between the two sides. “I will try to do whatever I can to come up with a compromise that works for all.” Commissioners Greg

JUST IN!!

Cox (a San Diego County supervisor) and Mark Vargas were ready to vote for the permit Friday, supporting the recommendation of Coastal Commission staff. However, other commissioners said they were concerned their decision could result in the destruction of rare wetlands habitat. River Park JPA officials and others who asked the commission to bar the fairgrounds from using the lower one-third of the east overflow lot cited a study commissioned by the fairgrounds, which identified the 4 acres of property as wetlands. “The wetlands can’t speak for itself. I’m hopeful the commission will speak for the wetlands today,” said Dick Bobertz, executive director of the river park. The JPA was created by five local cities and the county of San Diego to create and maintain a 55-mile linear park and trail system running from Julian to the coast at Del Mar. The western end of the “Coast to Crest” trail runs alongside the fairgrounds overflow lots, at the mouth of the San Dieguito River. The arguments of Bobertz and other environmentalists hit their mark with some members of the Coastal Commission. “I’m reminded of Joni

Mitchell,” said Commission Chairwoman Mary Shallenberger, quoting from one of the popular singer-songwriter’s hit songs: “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” One reason for the postponement was to give the two sides time to discuss a compromise offered by the 22nd DAA. Day said the agency would be willing to sign over title to a 5-acre parcel of land it owns next to its horse park property, which is on the east side of Interstate 5, to a local environmental group such as the River Park JPA. The intent would be to compensate for the loss of the wetlands in the east overflow lot. Asked by a commission member if that would be an acceptable compromise, Bobertz said, “We would need time to look at that and consider it.” “I urge all parties to get together quickly and work hard and come back before us soon,” Shallenberger said. Also on its November agenda, the Coastal Commission is tentatively scheduled to consider another permit application from the 22nd DAA, covering activities and events on the main fairgrounds property, including a proposed fall horse race meet that would begin in 2014.

CHALLENGE continued from page 18 a dialogue with her in the coming days about both of their experiences. “It’s very eye opening, they didn’t have something like this when I was a kid,” Rose said. “As a parent it helps to know some of the stresses that kids are going through.” Be The Change Club is the follow-up activity to Challenge Week. Students spread what they learned during Challenge Week to the rest of the school. Torrey Pines also has a Together As One Club that meets every day for lunch, helping to welcome students who are new to the school and to the country. Hollins said there are 950 new students at Torrey Pines High School every year: While 800 are freshman, 150 students are transfers from places all over the world, such as Iran, Portugal, Hong Kong and Korea. In a way, as the Challenge Days event ends, the challenge is just beginning, Bishay said. The two clubs are just a couple of ways to ensure the school remains a connected, welcoming place. She challenged students to “let go of judgments, accept everyone, give up hurtful language, give out genuine compliments, get real, be vulnerable and not be afraid to be them-

selves.” “Make this change sustainable,” Bishay said. The Challenge Days event was made possible by teacher Don Hollins, the Torrey Pines High School Foundation, and several parent volunteers who work in groups with the students. Hollins also thanked lead student coordinator Bailey Pope, who had help from juniors Mimi Najmabadi and Isabella Gadinis, and TPHS Foundation officers Bobbi Karlson, Terry Wolter and Holly Coughlin, who provided financial support in addition to doing “everything from checking 125 kids in each morning to ordering and setting up lunch each afternoon.” Shelley Stevenson, PALS parent liaison, was also “invaluable” in organizing the 150 adult participants, according to Hollins. “They are the unsung champions of this event that creates the space for real transformations to take place in the attitudes and self concepts of so many students. It’s an amazing team to be part of,” said Hollins who, in addition to being a teacher, is a PALS advisor, and ISOL lab facilitator. The mission of TPHS PALS is “to promote student well being and connectedness by sponsoring allschool events, establishing one-on-one student peer assistance, facilitating campus tours and supporting campus activities.”

Canyon Crest Academy welcomes new theater coordinator

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the actors on stage to the stagehands behind the scene, Amy Blatt knows it takes a wide range of talents to pull off a successful production. As a junior at University of San Diego High School, she was assistant director and then stage manger of the school’s fall and spring shows. “My theater teacher took a chance on me,” Blatt said. “He gave me these roles of responsibility and I stepped up to the plate. I really appreciated that he gave me those opportunities, and I just felt like that’s what I wanted to do.” Now 28, the San Diego resident is starting her seventh year as a teacher and her first year as theater coordinator of Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision. Envision offers day classes and after-school programs for cinema, dance, digital and fine art, instrumental music, theater, and vocal music. “My dream job was to be a high school theater teacher, and I’ve been able to teach high school theater for seven years,” said Blatt, who most recently worked as theater director at San Diego High School. “I feel like I’m really fortunate.” After graduating from high school, Blatt attended local community colleges and later transferred to San Diego State University. She has been the stage manager for several productions at Grossmont College, SDSU, Starlight Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse and San Diego Repertory Theatre. Shortly after graduating with a bachelor’s in general theater arts, Blatt landed a teaching position at San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. She later taught at Lincoln High School before she was transferred to San Diego High School. “I definitely want to bring my personal background and experience to manage multiple productions and properly prepare my students for the next step,” Blatt said. “Whether they are planning to or not, I want them to be prepared their senior year to go to a conservatory or a university of performing arts.” With four main productions, Blatt has a rigorous season planned. She will direct two of the productions and guest di-

Amy Blatt Courtesy photo rectors will direct the other two. In addition to working with her students, Blatt said she is thrilled to work with the parents who support the program through the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation. The nonprofit parentled organization strengthens the Carmel Valley school’s academics, athletics and arts programs through financial, volunteer and community support. “I’ve worked in creative schools, but never in this capacity, as far as the parent involvement,” Blatt said. “Envision probably

wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for parent donations and help to fund guest artists. Our season wouldn’t be as big as it is.” The season will open with “The Children’s Hour” on Oct. 24 at the school’s Black Box Theater. Directed by Jeremy Sewell, the drama is set in an all-girls boarding school managed by two women. Blatt will direct the fall’s second production, “Biloxi Blues.” A semi-autobiographical play by Neil Simon, “Biloxi Blues” features a mostly boy cast and takes place during World War II. The play runs Nov. 6-16 at the Canyon Crest Proscenium Theater. In the spring, Blatt has planned Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” followed by “Les Misérables,” which will be produced in collaboration with the school’s vocal music conservatory. “I love it here. It’s wonderful,” Blatt said. “I’m excited for everyone to come see our shows!” For more information about Envision at Canyon Crest Academy, visit www. cca-envision.org.

Something old is new at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe BY KELLEY CARLSON he space that was formerly a ballroom at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was recently converted into Morada, an elegant and sophisticated restaurant that still manages to be comfortably casual and welcoming. Vacationing families clad in jeans and T-shirts mingle with local residents gussied up for date night, dining on locally sourced California cuisine that’s suitable for all tastes. Guests who arrive through the main entrance walk across the polished hardwood floor of the bar and lounge, which is filled with glittering chandeliers, booths covered in Ikat fabric and its signature flower patterns, and picturesque landscape paintings. On weekends, customers gather at the bar to devour burgers while watching sports on TV, which is hidden behind glass during the remainder of the week. A wall with a built-in fireplace divides the bar from the equally grand main dining room. Photos of Rancho Santa Fe in its early days line the walls, a nostalgic tribute to the hotel’s history. Patrons are also welcome to indulge on Morada’s fare in the adjacent living room. There, they can casually sip vintages from California wineries while lounging in large leather chairs in front of the crackling fireplace. It’s quiet and intimate, enhanced by soft instrumental music and dim lighting.

Morada’s Seared Ahi Tuna & Citrus sprawling, landscaped lawn toward the heart of “The Ranch.” It’s an idyllic spot to watch hot air balloons soar during sunset while sharing a bottle of wine, perhaps getting cozy by one of the fire pits. “The patio has the best view in town,” Allison said. “It’s relaxing and very inviting.” Guests can augment their experience in a variety of ways – entrees, shared plates or a la carte. Allison takes a farm-to-table approach with his creations, using ingredients from his on-site garden, local farms and farmers markets throughout the region. He recommends sharing a couple of starters, perhaps the pan-roasted baby octopus and the steamed black Carlsbad mussels, before moving on to main courses such as the grilled Colorado lamb loin

Then top off the meal with a dark chocolate pot de crème. Other menu items worth considering include the Golden Beet Salad with slices of citrus, sprinkled with white balsamic vinegar and bits of creamy Humboldt Fog cheese; the flaky pan-roasted ocean trout over a slice of grilled green tomato, resting on a bed of toasted red quinoa with saffron glaze; seared Ahi tuna street tacos with avocado mousse and cilantro slaw inside crispy shells; and the coconut panna cotta with a top layer of tropical fruit salsa, served with shortbread cookies. The children’s menu is a bit more standard with items such as chicken Alfredo, pizzas,

hamburgers, chicken fingers and mac ‘n’ cheese. While waiting for their food, kids can tap into their creative side by playing with complimentary neon-colored Wikki Stix, made of yarn and non toxic wax. Morada is also open for breakfast and lunch, offering dishes that range from bananas foster French toast and Dungeness crab eggs benedict to the ginger BBQ Mary’s free-range chicken sandwich and blackened Alaskan salmon. Reservations are recommended at the restaurant, especially on weekends, Allison noted. Much of the “rush” occurs when there is live entertainment — usually flamenco-style background music — from 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

In town as a brand ambassador for OMEGA, the Australian golf pro spoke at The Grand Golf Club Practice Facility, and then hit golf balls to demonstrate the basics of his legendary swing instruction. Guests, including resort guests and OMEGA clients, also participated in a nine-hole shotgun-start golf tournament. Norman has won 91 professional events around the world, including two British Open Championships and 20 U.S. PGA Tour titles and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2001.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Curate in Solana Beach offers hand-selected sunglasses and watches BY KRISTINA HOUCK As owners of a graphic design and website development agency, Matt Harding and Joe McDonald have worked with companies that sell a variety of products. Now, they’ve opened up their own fashion boutique, Curate Co., in Solana Beach. “We specialize in e-commerce and we wanted to take that expertise and open our own retail store,” said Harding, who lives in Carlsbad. Located on Cedros Avenue, Curate specializes in handselected sunglasses and watches. “We are curating a product,” Harding said. “We have a lot of stuff that’s not available in San Diego.” Harding, 38, and McDonald, 43, have been business partners for seven years. Harding, a graphic designer, and McDonald, a web developer, met when a mutual client hired them as freelancers. They later teamed up to launch Durrani Design in 2007. “We saw each other’s skills and what we could bring together,” Harding said. “Everything just seems to kind of have an ebb and flow of division. We come together and each bring our strong points to grow a new business.” Four years ago, the pair opened an online-only store called Skulls & Wings that offered sunglasses, watches and apparel. Harding and McDonald decided to open a physical store to offer brands that could only be sold in stores. They also hope to provide access to up-and-coming brands. “We’ve seen brands not able to make it because they weren’t given the opportunity or a chance in retail because they didn’t know the right reps or how to get in with the

Photos/Kristina Houck buyers, but the product is still really good,” Harding said. “We want to keep an eye out for those that could use the opportunity and see them succeed.” Curate opened about five months ago and recently moved to a new location on the corner of the same building. The roughly 550-square-foot space at 337 S. Cedros Ave., Suite A, has multiple windows and offers more product displays. From well-known brands like Ray-Ban to emerging brands like TAVAT, Curate offers a variety of brands and styles. Harding and McDonald choose all items they carry in their

store. Other brands include IVI, 9Five, Sabre, South Lane and Vestal. “With us, you can actually come in here and walk away with a brand you’ve never heard of and be confident in its mechanics and its function, and that the fashion that we’re providing is all over the place,” said Harding, who noted Curate was the first or one of the first stores in San Diego to carry TAVAT, IVI and Sabre. “You’re going to come here and find things that are hard to find, which I think is huge. We don’t want you to choose a particular one, we just want you to walk out feeling good.” For more information, call 760-230-5462 or visit www.curate-co.com.

Beamingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy yet delicious organic food helps people make a lifestyle change BY KAREN BILLING For most people, it is difficult to make something healthy that also tastes delicious. For most of her life, Solana Beach resident Lisa Odenweller has been trying to solve that problem and has found success with Beaming, her new convenient, healthy gourmet â&#x20AC;&#x153;superfood vitality barâ&#x20AC;? in Del Mar. The popular superfood spot serves up juices, smoothies and raw foods that are all organic, vegan, gluten-free and dairy free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the day we opened, we kind of took off running, â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Odenweller of the 10-month-old Beaming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been wonderful to see the community embrace us.â&#x20AC;? One of the reasons why Beaming has done so well is that it had already built a strong following with its raw food cleanses that were available online. Odenweller said her cleanses became popular because they redefined what a cleanse could be: Rather than focus on depravation, the cleanse was done with â&#x20AC;&#x153;nutritionally powerful and powerfully deliciousâ&#x20AC;? juices, raw foods and smoothies. They became more than a cleanse but a lifestyle change â&#x20AC;&#x201D;whereas with a typical cleanse people couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get off it, with Beaming they were invigorated to continue to feel good and realized what they put in their body made a big difference. The lifestyle that Beaming promotes is one of balance. Odenweller herself is not vegan but believes that everyone can benefit from more vegetables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body is different and I believe in finding a balance that works for them. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preach one way,â&#x20AC;? Odenweller said. Odenweller has always had an interest in wellness, health and exercise. She was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mix-masterâ&#x20AC;? in the kitchen, taking on challenges such as making a chocolate chip cookie that is healthy but still tastes good. As a foodie, she was never formerly trained but blessed with a good palate. In developing a cleanse to share with the public, she enlisted the help of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Super Cleanseâ&#x20AC;? author Adina Niemerow and raw food chef Matthew Kenney; together, they played around with recipes and figured out ways to make raw food hip and cool, how to take really good, healthy things and put them together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ingredients such as almond milk, chia, kale, maca, mint and raw honey.

Beaming founder Lisa Odenweller. Courtesy photo Beaming launched its first cleanse to the public in November 2011. Its signature cleanse is four days which Odenweller feels is the perfect length of time, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;complete mind and body reset.â&#x20AC;? The four-day cleanse includes daily two juices, a smoothie, raw soup, superfood elixir and a raw dish or salad. Beaming also has a three-day option which is its version of the juice cleanse with a daily menu of three coldpressed juices, raw dish

or salad, an elixir, almond milk with protein, and a Beaming protein bite. Beamingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-day â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resetâ&#x20AC;? cleanse is perfect coming off a weekend to start the week off right, let the body heal and restore balance. It is its most restrictive cleanse, but still includes a raw dish or salad, four cold pressed juices, almond milk, a Beaming bite and a protein blend. Odenweller said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had many success stories with their cleanses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[People] wake up to the power of food as medicine,â&#x20AC;? Odenweller said. Odenweller said that eating nutritious and delicious food helps people to have better mental clarity, their inflammation goes down, their mood stabilizes and they become more mindful about what they put into their mouths â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Odenweller says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a personal victory when she can wean someone off Diet Coke. The superfood store in Del Mar is a way to make this kind of lifestyle conveniently available to the public, according to Odenweller. It prompts many exclamations of â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never knew raw food could taste like this,â&#x20AC;? Odenweller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expose people to

superfoods but in a playful, energetic and delicious way,â&#x20AC;? Odenweller said. The menu changes daily but they always have quinoa, a farmers market salad, a raw food entrĂŠe and a raw soup. Sample items have been raw lasagna with zucchini replacing the noodles, and a cashew cheese sauce or ceviche made of coconut meat instead of octopus. Beamingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walls are stocked with bottled coldpressed juices such as the Skinny Cooler with a spicy mix of pineapple, cucumber, mint and jalapeĂąo, and the Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Up Doc which, according to Odenweller, promotes eye health and immunity with carrot, orange, ginger and turmeric. Behind the bar is where Beamingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smoothies are made to order and can be customized with superfood boosters such as almond butter, kale, berries, probiotics, cacao nibs or one of Beamingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raw plant protein blends. Beaming makes all of its own almond milk on site for the smoothies. The High Five pairs that almond milk with a fruity mix of strawberry, banana, blueberry, raspberry and spinach. The Euphoria is known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the happy one,â&#x20AC;? a mood

and energy booster with almond milk, coconut water, Beaming protein, cherries, chia powder, banana, lucuma, coconut butter and date. The Rockstar is really popular with male customers, Odenweller said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the smoothie perfect for post workouts, promoting muscle recovery. Many of Beamingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu items are â&#x20AC;&#x153;super kid friendly,â&#x20AC;?such as its chia pudding and chocolate almond milk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a mom of three so I understand how hard it is to make healthy choices kidfriendly,â&#x20AC;? Odenweller said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of her personal missions to support families in living a healthy lifestyle and to see a child happily devouring an acai bowl â&#x20AC;&#x153;lights my soul more than anythingâ&#x20AC;?, she said. Odenweller also had a vision of Beaming being a social spot and that has come true as well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she said the store has a great vibe, people are often sitting on tables outside or indoors at the funky bar or in the cozy loungers. Beamingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boom has been a blessing for Odenweller.

One of the great successes of distinguished writer Lillian Hellman, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hourâ&#x20AC;? is a serious and adult play about two women who run a school for girls. After a malicious youngster starts a rumor about the two women, the rumor soon turns to scandal. As the young girl comes to understand the power she wields, she sticks by her story, which precipitates tragedy for the women. It is later discovered that the gossip was pure invention, but it is too late. Irreparable damage has been done.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local resident heads depression and bipolar support group BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members living with depression or bipolar disorder now have a place where they can support one another. Del Mar resident Roger Alsabrook leads a Del Marbased, peer-facilitated support group for individuals with depression or bipolar disorder, as well as their family and friends. As a certified Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance facilitator, Alsabrook said support from others is essential to a lifetime of wellness, in addition to proper diagnosis and treatment. “It’s peer-to-peer, which is so much better because everybody understands you,” Alsabrook said. “Even psychiatrists don’t fully get it because they don’t have the disease.” Originally from Dallas, Texas, Alsabrook was misdiagnosed with major depressive disorder when he was in his 20s. For about two decades, he tried roughly a dozen different anti-depressants that didn’t work. Alsabrook wasn’t properly diagnosed until he was in his 40s. “Finally, I got to a psychiatrist that said, ‘You’re bipolar. You don’t have depression.’ I got on the bipolar meds and my life changed,” said Alsabrook, now 67. “I would be manic for a number of months, and then I would drop very low to the point where I could hardly get out of bed. Finally, I was a functioning person.” After he retired, Alsabrook and his wife permanently moved to their Del Mar vacation home, where they’ve lived for eight years. Three years ago, he discovered the San Diego chapter of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, which meets from 6-8 p.m. every Monday and Thursday at the VA San Diego Medical Center in La Jolla. Alsabrook soon became a board member and trained facilitator. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance has North County groups in Rancho Bernardo, San Marcos and Vista. About six months ago, Alsabrook launched a new group for Del Mar and the surrounding communities, which used to meet monthly at the Del Mar Community Connections facility. “I wanted to start one in this area because very few peo-

Roger Alsabrook. Photo/Kristina Houck ple from this area would come to the San Diego group,” Alsabrook said. “I know there are people in North County who need support. Depression and bipolar affects many.” According to the National Institute of Mental Health, major depressive disorder affects approximately 14.8 million, or about 6.7 percent of American adults, and bipolar disorder affects approximately 5.7 million, or about 2.6 percent of American adults in a given year. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance was created for and is led by individuals living with mood

disorders to support others living with mood disorders. There are more than 700 peer-run support groups in the U.S. “These diseases affect everybody,” Alsabrook said. “I have seen through our San Diego chapter — they’re so enlightened because they feel like they’re normal. They see they’re not the only one who has depression or is bipolar.” A few individuals, mostly family members, attend the Del Mar meetings, Alsabrook said. He’s hoping to attract even more people by meeting at a more private location. “A lot of people are worried about the stigma,” he said. “I’ve come out with my name and said I have bipolar, so hopefully others won’t be nervous. I’m hoping to change that. “I would like more people with the disease to come and talk like we do in the San Diego groups. I would also like to have more friends and family members, because they can learn so much more from people with the disease.” The group will meet at its new location from 3-5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at the no drinking area on the top level of the Del Mar Plaza, located at 1555 Camino Del Mar. There is no cost to attend the meetings and all are welcome. No reservations are required. “Being bipolar, if you get the right meds and the right help, you can be normal. Now, instead of up and down, I’m here,” said Alsabrook, as he gestured in between. “It’s just the greatest feeling in the world. I want to encourage people by telling my story. “There are more people out there like you. And there is really good support.” For more information about the meetings, contact Alsabrook at 858-525-1509 or rogeralsabrook@yahoo.com.

Moving east to attend college creates mixed emotions for local students

BY ROB LEDONNE It was late summer and Patrick Davis was the busiest he’s ever been in his life. Davis, a graduate of Torrey Pines High School, was running errands in preparation for his freshman year of college, a stressful situation for anyone. However, at the same time he was preparing to move clear across the country, as well, to attend Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania. It’s a rite of passage for a number of Southern California teens; after growing up on the West Coast, they develop a strong interest to move east to attend college. “I always knew I wanted to go to college on the East Coast,” Davis said. “I started off my college search looking at schools in the UC and Cal State system, but in the end I wanted a change.” Davis isn’t alone; many outgoing high school seniors in North County choose the East Coast for a multitude of reasons, despite the many miles and outright difficulties of all that comes with moving so far from home brings. “From what I’ve found, the East Coast has a lot more small, private colleges,” Davis said. It’s that interest in a private school as well as a change of pace that interest many, explained Mary Sanchez-Allwein, the head counselor at Torrey Pines High School. “Just in the past nine years I’ve been here, I always see students apply to at least one school on the East Coast,” she noted. “Financially, a lot of private schools offer better aide. Plus, they’re looking for something different. Instead of sunny skies every day, they want snow and seasons.” “At first, I definitely didn’t want to go to the East Coast at all,” said Katie Fletcher, another recent Torrey Pines graduate who is attending Yale in Connecticut (Fletcher was interviewed before she left for Yale). “For me, if I was going to go to anywhere besides Southern California, it had to be Ivy League. That was the deciding factor to me: stay in California, or go to a really good school.” Fletcher, who is playing soccer for Yale, said she thinks getting used to East Coast winters will take some adjusting. “For me, that will be tough, but it’s just a matter of understanding that it’s going to snow and get cold eventually. I’m just going to get a better jacket and deal with it.” Unlike those who choose to go to school nearby, menial tasks such as packing clothes turn into a hassle. Before he left, Davis shipped a few boxes of belongings to his uncle, who lives near his school. For Fletcher, her mother drove cross-country with a car full of her stuff. “Obviously that won’t be the case every year, but she [did] it as an adventure, and I’m really, really lucky because I [had] so much stuff to bring,” said Fletcher. Before he left for college, Davis also spent time with his college-bound friends. “We’re trying to get together to say our last goodbyes, though I’m sure we’ll pick it back up when we all come back for break,” he said just before he left. Overall, he was looking forward to his new experience: “I see at it as, I’m

Patrick Davis going to try something new to find out if I can carve my own little niche in Pennsylvania. This is a new opportunity, and if it doesn’t work out it’ll be a small detour.” He explained he is grateful that his parents supported his decision to move so far away. “They weren’t too bothered when I told them I wanted to go to rural Pennsylvania. They wanted me to make an independent decision, and pretty much stayed out of it. No matter what, they said they’d support me 100 percent,” said Davis. “I’m just really psyched and as nervous as anyone would be for a new place, new environment, and new friends.” Fletcher echoed that sentiment before she left for college, but said she would miss many of her favorite North County spots. “I’m a total diva about everything. I need to eat at certain places, and take certain drives before I go. Despite my schedule, right now all I want to do is visit the beach and see the people I want to see.” Summed up Sanchez-Allwein: “It’s a huge leap.”

To Your Health: Tips to avoid getting sick in the doctor’s waiting room “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff at Scripps. For more information or a physician referral, call 1-800-SCRIPPS or visit www. scripps.org. In an effort to cut down on the spread of germs, a hospital in Toronto recently decided to ban all magazines from its waiting rooms. Posters displayed inside the hospital advised patients that, “reading material spreads viruses and infections.” While eliminating magazines may seem like a drastic measure to take to help prevent the spreading of illness, it makes sense that waiting areas in hospitals and doctor’s offices may have more than their fair share of germs. After all, waiting rooms are frequently filled with sick people. However, catching the cold or flu bug in the doctor’s office is far from inevitable. By taking a few simple precautions, most people should be able to minimize the risk of getting sick while waiting for care. Prior to setting foot in a waiting room, get a flu shot. Flu shots can help prevent illness altogether or at least lessen the severity and length of symptoms if the flu does take hold. Most doctors recommend the shot for everyone – even those who don’t plan to visit a doctor’s office. Try to avoid waiting rooms altogether during cold and flu season if possible. Schedule routine physical exams and tests before or after the fall and winter months, when fewer sick people are likely to be around. If a visit during cold and flu season is unavoid-

able, try to schedule appointments first thing in the morning, before other patients arrive, or late in the day after others have left. Today, a growing number of family medicine and pediatrician offices have “sick” and “well” waiting areas to help keep healthy people healthy. If that isn’t an option, consider wearing a face mask; often, doctor’s offices and hospitals will provide masks to patients who request them. If no mask is available, hold a clean tissue over the nose and mouth while in the waiting room, and avoid sitting near anyone who looks or sounds ill. While magazines may carry germs, they certainly aren’t alone. Railings, doorknobs, elevator buttons and even pens may host germs as well, but simply touching them won’t cause illness. Viruses and bacteria enter the body through mucous membranes, so avoid touching the mouth, nose or eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water after handling any shared items, or take advantage of the hand sanitizer lotions or gels available in See HEALTH, page B22

Rant with Randi: Stephentown 300 BY RANDI CRAWFORD I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough words in my vocabulary to express my disgust at how we are raising our kids today. The situation is out of hand people. I just want to know one thing from you after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read this piece: What has happened to parenting and teaching children the value of accepting responsibility when they make a mistake? Where did that go? Can someone please tell me how we have fallen so far off the moral compass that the compass no longer exists? As parents, do we honestly believe that we have perfect kids who can do no wrong? Let me digress, in case you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard about the Stephentown 300. Over the Labor Day weekend, 300 teens thought it would be fun to â&#x20AC;&#x153;partyâ&#x20AC;? at the home of Brian Holloway, an ex-NFL football player, who was selling his home. The party-goers broke in, vandalized his home, urinated on his carpets, spray painted his walls, drank and did drugs, stole a headstone for his stillborn grandchild (which has since been re-

turned) along with other valuables, and then snapped pictures of themselves and blasted it all over social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. As if this story isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad enough, it gets worse. After learning about this party that thrashed his entire home, Brian Hollowayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immediate reaction was â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to start a movement to save these kids.â&#x20AC;? He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get angry about the $20,000 worth of damage to his home, his concern was for these kids and for them to turn their lives around. Now before I go on, can you just stop and think about

that for a minute. Really? If someone broke into your home, did $20,000 worth of damage, stole invaluable property, destroyed family memories, and then blasted it all over the web, are you going to tell me that you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be just a little pissed off? So, what does Brian Holloway do? He sets up a website called www.helpmesave300.com and re-posts the pictures and tweets that the kids took themselves, in order to build a movement to teach these kids to take responsibility. He asked everyone to come help clean the mess and start the process to accept responsibility for his/and her actions. Do you want to take a guess at how many kids from the party actually showed up? Different reports say anything from one to four kids (from the party) showed up to help out. Hmmm, something doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound right. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you expect that the parents would insist that their kids go and be part of the clean-up effort? I must be missing something in this story... Yup, this story isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over. Not only did the parents not drag their kids to Mr. Hollowayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home to apologize on their hands and knees, the parents are threatening to sue him for posting pictures of their kids on his website because it can hurt their chances of getting into college. Can you say â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is wrong with this picture?â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at such a loss for words right now that my brain canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wrap itself around the insanity of this situation. Has this whole country gone mad? Can nobody accept responsibility anymore? Is this really how we want to raise our children? Parents, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m calling BS on this notion that our kids are always right and everyone else is to blame. And no disrespect to Mr. Holloway, but sir you got one thing very wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we definitely need a movement in this country, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for the kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we need a movement for the parents. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to call it the pull your head out movement. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on today with our enabling parenting-style has to stop. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little wake up call. Our kids are far from perfect and they are going down an ugly path if we believe that shielding them from adversity and the consequences of their actions is actually helping them. Lastly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to say to the parents of the Stephentown 300, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shame on all of you.â&#x20AC;? Your thoughts? Email: www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.
