Students’ Hearts for Healing

Principal discusses CCA’s ‘State of Success’ Despite budget cutbacks, school’s API score highest in county BY DIANE WELCH There was a festive atmosphere at the Rancho Santa Fe home of Uschi and Taylor Crouch on Nov. 9 as Canyon Crest Academy High School (CCA) staff, parents of current students, alumni and future students, and members of its foundation gathered to celebrate the achievements of the school.

Brovick-Kent and Heather Slosar received 991 and 887 votes respectively. In other local election news, incumbents Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer were re-elected to the San Dieguito Union High School District board, winning 31.36 percent and 29.57 percent of the votes. Candidates Steve McDowell and Graham Ledger earned 21.94 and 17.12 percent of the votes respectively. Greg Gruzdowich was elected to the Division One seat (Rancho Santa Fe) on

The “Evening in the Ranch” reception also recognized the generosity of contributors to the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation (CCAF) which, in part, has helped CCA raise its average Academic Performance Index (API) score to 917, the highest in the six public school districts countywide, despite being the lowest funded.

A hush fell over the room as CCA Principal Brian Köhn shared details about the school’s current and past achievements. Köhn, introduced by Rick Barrera, a father of a CCA student, spoke passionately about the school’s success. As the first public school to break the 900 API score barrier in the county, CCA has been the highest

performer for three consecutive years, said Köhn. Showing steady growth, the API has increased by 75 points over the past four years. “We are getting better every year... and I think, ‘How can the students possibly get better?’ But the kids keep doing it,” he said. Citing published statis-

150 local parents packed a Torrey Pines High School auditorium on Nov. 8 for a special presentation in which two Orange County sheriff officials specializing in juvenile delinquency explained the latest trends in youth subcultures and drugs. The event was held so parents can better under-

stand the challenges kids face in their social networks and know the signs of substance use. Hosted by the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Recovery Education Alcohol/Drug Instruction (READI) program, the graphic program revealed real life cases, some tragic and eye-opening,

that law enforcement officers have handled in Southern California. Also on display were hundreds of items confiscated from youth, from weapons to paraphernalia to abused drugs — many of which are legal. “These things happen to our kids and these things See PARENTS, page 23

RSF School District taking steps to keep API test scores high As recently reported in this newspaper, the Rancho Santa Fe School District earned its best API scores ever, but now what? Trustee Todd Frank posed the question of “what’s next” at the Nov. 7 board meeting. “We got exceptional results this year but what’s the target list for how to improve our results next year?” Frank asked. District superintendent Lindy Delaney said that preparations for next year are already in the works and continue all year long. “Right after the test scores we look at every single child and see what’s happening,” Delaney said. “We figure out as soon as we can their needs.” As needed, students are placed in intervention programs or accelerated programs and teachers are constantly in discussions. They also use testing for students they have concerns about. “Of course we don’t want to lose any ground,” Delaney said. “If a child is advanced in English language and below basic in math, we have to really dig into that…The idea is to catch students and see what they need.” Delaney said the district’s high test scores this year can be attributed to the methods they have been using to meet every student’s individual needs. She noted that other districts have been calling to see what they are doing and have asked for their secrets. — Karen Billing

Stores move, new tenants coming to Del Mar Highlands Town Center There have been a few changes at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, including the relocation of existing shops and room being made for some new ones. Ceramic Café moved from its spot near the plaza and is now on the lower part of the center near Burlap. Anthony’s Shoe Repair also moved just a few shops down from where his business stood for more than 10 years and is now next to The Counter. According to Elizabeth Schreiber, general manager for Donahue Schriber which owns and operates the center, Mistral will be the new tenant in Anthony’s former space. Mistral currently has a store on Cedros in Solana Beach and specializes in French soaps, skin care, candles and fine fragrances. In place of Ceramic Café’s old spot, the center is bringing in Diane’s Beachwear. Diane’s Beachwear has 16 locations in Southern California (as well as two in Arizona), offering swimsuits as well as clothing and accessories. Both Diane’s and Mistral aim to open by the end of the month, Schreiber said. — Karen Billing

Open space encroachment biggest issue for planned church project BY KAREN BILLING Planners behind the new St. John Garabed Armenian church continue to discuss the details of their project with the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board as they await further review from the city and an environmental impact report. The biggest concern for the project, located off El Camino Real behind the Evangelican Formosan Church (just north of Carmel Valley, southwest of Rancho Santa Fe and east of Del Mar), is the encroachment into protected open space. The church’s proposal exceeds the 25 percent development allowable within the city’s Multi-Habitat Planning Area. The MHPA is part of the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP), a program that preserves a network of habitat and open space throughout the county. “We have compacted our development into the least sensitive part of the site,” said Marcela EscobarEck, principal of the Atlantis Group representing Garabed

at the Nov. 7 meeting of the p l a n n i n g board’s regional issues committee.

Local resident thrilled by‘Super Bowl of racing’ win BY JULIE SARNO Though the Breeders’ Cup was the first weekend in November, Bill Strauss is still bubbling over with excitement about winning the $1,000,000 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1) with 4-yearold filly Mizdirection. “We had won three or four Grade 1 races with Turbulent Descent, but there is nothing that compares to this,” said Strauss. “It was just amazing. This is the Super Bowl of racing.” The 4-year-old filly’s come-from-behind victory in the final strides against colts at Santa Anita in the Turf Sprint was a thrill for Strauss, trainer Mike Puype and co-owner Jim Rome, a sports radio talk show host. Rome races as Jungle Racing, named after his show “The Jungle.” Mizdirection was ridden by Hall of Fame rider Mike Smith, who this year won two to bring his career total to 17, the most for any jockey in Breeders’ Cup history. Jubilant owners Strauss and Rome led Mizdirection into the winner’s circle after the race. Strauss noted that on the East Coast, many owners lead their runners

into the winner’s circle after a big win. He liked the tradition, so he and Rome have adopted it. When Strauss was interviewed by the media along with Rome and trainer Puype, he enthused, “It’s really an amazing feeling. My voice is gone, I was tired, I was sweating, I felt like I rode the horse and ran the race myself. It’s just an exhausting feeling. But there is no feeling like it for that exact second. “There’s greater moments in your life, like when I married my wife and the birth of my children,” continued the winning owner. “But in that instant when that horse crosses that finish line in front and the way she did it, not knowing until the last jump that we had won, there is just no immediate feeling in the world like that.” On Breeders’ Cup day, Margie was with him. Their son, Stephen, stayed in New York where he is a senior at Columbia University. Daughter Allie also remained in New York where she works. Brother Jeffrey Strauss, chef and owner of the award-winning Pample-

Owners Jim Rome (left) and Bill Strauss (right) lead Mizdirection off the racetrack into the Winner’s Circle at Santa Antia following her victory in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. BENOIT PHOTO mousse Grille locally, was at Santa Anita but not in the winner’s circle. He was catering an event for the Breeders’ Cup and was busy with his event. Mizdirection came into the race off a five-and-ahalf-month layoff, stepping up into top company against males. She was one of two fillies in a 14-horse field of males. Unbridled’s Note, the favorite, finished second and Rennesgotzip, the other filly in the field,

was third. Earlier in the year, Mizdirection had won three stakes races including the Las Cienegas Handicap (G3) in April and had not started since a second-place finish in the Great Lady M at Betfair Hollywood Park in May. The Strausses divide their time between their longtime home in Del Mar and their home in Santa Monica. Strauss became interested in racing by going to the races at Del Mar with

friends and his brother Jeffrey. Bill and Margie became friends with jockey Alex Solis who encouraged them to become owners. They bought into their first racehorse in 2008 with the help of Alex Solis II, son of the prominent jockey. In fact, the younger Solis bought Mizdirection for $50,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale in 2010 and put the partnership together. Solis was at Santa Anita for the Breeders’ Cup victory as well. Strauss owns a 25 percent interest in Mizdirection. Currently, he owns pieces of 15-20 horses including horses in training, babies on the farm, a yearling he just purchased at the Keeneland September sale. Prior to Mizdirection, the best horses Strauss campaigned included multiple Grade 1-winning filly Turbulent Descent and The Pamplemousse. Named for the restaurant, The Pamplemousse was an early favorite for the 2009 Kentucky Derby but was sidelined by an injury. A serial entrepreneur, Strauss was co-founder and first employee of ProFlow-

ers. He then became president, chief operating officer and a member of the board of directors of Provide Commerce, which owns a number of e-commerce brands (companies which do business on the internet but do not have stores). Provide Commerce’s bestknown brands are ProFlowers, RedEnvelope and Shari’s Berries. In early fall, 2011, he was tapped to become CEO of ShoeDazzle.com, an online shoe, handbag and costume jewelry company founded by celebrity stylist and businesswoman Kim Kardashian. Strauss since has left ShoeDazzle. He was a founding board member of the Naval Special Warfare Foundation, which helps support the families of fallen Navy Seals. Strauss says plans call for Mizdirection to race at five: “It’s just a pleasure to work with Mike Puype. He trains all my race horses. He’s an awesome trainer, very hard working. It’s just a pleasure to have horses with him. He has become a friend as well.”

RSF resident running to raise money for children’s shelter in Ethiopia BY CLAIRE HARLIN Tim Williams has never run a race before, but he committed to run a half marathon in Las Vegas on Dec. 2. What keeps him going in his training is a certain cause he has decided to support along the way. The Rancho Santa Fe resident didn’t begin his training with philanthropic intentions, but after a conversation with his friend, John Rowe, about the dire needs of Omo Child, a children’s shelter Rowe co-founded in Ethiopia, Williams found himself fixated on helping his friend, who has been making up for funding shortages by subsidizing from his own pocket each month to feed the kids. “I was on a really hot run once and all I could think about was Ethiopia,” Williams said. “I realized I should be running not for my own accomplishment but to benefit Omo Child.” Williams set a goal of raising $25,000 before race day, and donors can give a fixed amount or a per-mile amount on a special donation page he set up (link below). “I promise I’ll finish, whether or not I have to do it in a wheelchair,” said Williams, who is the vice president of Rancho Santa Fe real estate company DWO Enterprises. Omo Child rescues and cares for Mingi children located in the Omo River Valley region of Southwest Ethiopia,

Africa. The children in the shelter were rescued because they were in line to be drowned or starved by tribal elders who thought the children brought a curse to the village. Mingi means “ritually polluted,” and a child might inherit that title if he or she is a twin, grows teeth on the upper jaw before the lower jaw, or is born out of wedlock. Even chipping a tooth might result in a tribe declaring a child Mingi. “The kids who are at our shelter wouldn’t survive otherwise,” said Rowe, a renowned photographer. “There is no place else for them to go.” Rowe said there’s a funding shortage at the shelter and it’s somewhere in the thousands each month. He’s been covering the costs that money from the shelter’s usual donors doesn’t cover, but he said he can’t keep doing that every month. Williams has raised just over $4,000 so far in training for his run, however, he hopes more than anything the awareness he’s spreading will encourage people to become regular donors that can contribute as much or as little per month as they can.

Math scores increase across all levels of learners at Ranch School

BY RSF EDUCATION FOUNDATION The results are in! R. Roger Rowe School’s (Ranch School) most recent STAR test scores indicate that the school’s math program is meeting the needs of all learners. “At the elementary level, 93.6 percent of students are proficient or advanced in math on the California Standards Test. The number of students scoring in the advanced category on STAR has increased every year for three years at the elementary level,” remarked Assistant Superintendent Cindy Schaub. In 2010, 62 percent of Ranch School students scored in the advanced range; in 2012, 68 percent. “This is a significant percentage of students performing well above the expected proficient level,” added Schaub. “In addition, the number for students not yet proficient has steadily decreased from 8.8 percent to 6 percent in three years. This data shows how effective our differentiated Response to Intervention and Instruction (RTI) program is for all students whether they are performing below, at, or above grade level.” Middle school students have the same benefit. Schaub noted, “At the middle school level 84.7 percent of our students scored at or above proficient. This is a great accomplishment given the rigorous expectations in Algebra 1 at the eighth grade level.” The number of non-proficient middle school students has also decreased. All students at the Ranch School have math instruction based on their needs. This program is supported by the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation (RSFEF) which this year has pledged $1 million to support this and other key programs at the school. The RSFEF needs to raise $1,030,000 to meet our pledge plus expenses. To date we have $655K in the door and nearly $227K in unpaid pledges. This leaves a deficit of almost $148K. “Thank you to the 62 percent of school families who have already contributed or made a pledge,” said RSF Education Foundation Chair Glenn Oratz. “We encourage the remaining 38 percent of families to participate at any level that is appropriate for your family and be a part of supporting our school.” Without funding from the RSFEF, programs like this are at risk of being reduced or cut in the future. Program Ensures Students Have Solid Foundation of Number Systems “The students are so lucky to be part of a school that offers programs for all learners. Math RTI is an educational approach that allows all students to be successful in math,” commented Cristina Campisano, an educational specialist and math RTI teacher. In the first through sixth grades, students work in small groups for a 30-40 minute block twice a week outside of their daily math time. All students across the grade level move into different groups during the RTI block. Students are grouped based on their assessed need and RTI groups change frequently based on what each student needs at the time. In each grade level two additional teachers are added to the RTI block to allow more student/teacher interaction. Students who need extra help with a concept are in very small intervention groups (4-8 students) where they focus on the Number Systems Domain. “As we move towards the Common Core Standards, the area we formerly called Number Sense Strand is now referred to as

Students in Mrs. Kim’s 2nd grade class work with Assistant Superintendent Cindy Schaub on an “Exemplar,” a high level problem solving task. They are using mathematical tools to help solve the problem in multiple ways. the Number Systems Domain,” said Math Specialist Carolyn Jensen. “Number Systems are the foundation of all that comes later. Without this understanding the students cannot learn the more complex concepts,” added Mrs. Jensen. Mrs. Campisano explained, “During Math RTI instruction we make sure students see relationships and make mathematical connections. In addition, we build on student’s prior learning, and teach them to ask questions for comprehension purposes. We regularly assess to monitor student progress and develop our lessons based on the assessment results.” The Ranch School’s program ensures that these students get the individualized instruction they need to have solid foundational math skills. Other students are in “benchmark” groups which focus on extension activities and further practice with the concepts taught during math class. These groups often participate in hands on activities that further develop conceptual understanding and lead to mastery. Some students are in “enrichment” groups focused on taking students’ understanding to advanced or accelerated levels. For example, Fifth Grade Teacher Steve Riviere is teaching an advanced group this year. “Since they have already demonstrated a high degree of mastery of fifth grade standards, I can spend energy making connections from the curriculum to the real world. We are currently practicing and enriching math skills through a stock market challenge. Kids work independently, or in groups, making trading decisions, calculating returns on investments, and multiplying decimals – they are learning seemingly “by accident”, noted Riviere. “That degree of enrichment could only be possible through the funding of the Foundation.” At all grade levels, enrichment groups participate in collaborative projects, more difficult concepts and critical thinking. “As a teacher I am so grateful to work at a school that supports these types of programs that benefit all students,” said Campisano. Middle School Programs to Prepare All Students for High School Accelerated Math courses are offered beginning in the fifth grade for students who meet the criteria. The Ranch School offers geometry as an accelerated course for eighth graders. Middle School Assistant Principal See MATH, page 26

R. Roger Rowe turns Halloween into ‘An Act of Sweetness’ On Nov. 2, the R. Roger Rowe School, in partnership with RSF Orthodontics, collected over 100 pounds of Halloween candy. The candy was assembled into care packages for the U.S. troops stationed overseas through Operation Gratitude. Dr. Natalie Lam, owner of RSF Orthodontics, paid $1 for every pound of candy donated in an effort to promote oral health. Many of the kids then donated their dollars to fund animal shelters (2nd grade community service area of focus) or Malaria Nets (6th grade) and received chain links for their Acts of Kindness.

R. Roger Rowe School demonstrates a commitment to ‘Acts of Kindness’ The R. Roger Rowe School of RSF, has embraced Rachel’s Challenge in a huge way! The school’s Acts of Kindness Program is off to a strong start with room moms and teachers coordinating projects in the classrooms that emphasize making a difference in the lives of others. Here are a few of their most recent activities. School-wide, on Sept. 15, teachers, students and parents joined in the California Coastal Cleanup Day at San Elijo Lagoon. From this day forward to now, the acts of kindness events keep growing! •First grade students whose grade level theme is service to our seniors has created and delivered wonderful placemats for the seniors at Atria Senior Facility in Encinitas. •Second grade classes whose grade level theme is pets and animals are raising money for “Doggie Bowls” for Helen Woodward. In keeping with the 2nd grade animal theme, Mrs. Valentine’s class made four doggie beds for an animal shelter. •Third grade is doing caring community acts for the environment this year. On Oct. 5, they went to the Batiquitos Lagoon and Ponto Beach for a field trip. While at the beach, they participated in a beach clean-up. •Fifth grade students will be servicing those in need and have done a wonderful job promoting and collecting shoes for kids in San Diego. They have collected over 300 pairs of shoes. •Sixth graders are performing chores to earn money to buy malaria nets for a village in Indonesia. Their goal is to collect enough for 100 nets. They are off to a good start and are able to buy 40 nets so far. The Roger Rowe School hopes that all of their Acts of Kindness events will help to trigger a chain reaction to other schools within our community and state to do the same!

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Three local sisters reaching out after winning battles with breast cancer BY CLAIRE HARLIN When local resident Angel O’Brien got word two years ago that her sister, Brenda, was diagnosed with cancer, it brought back a lifetime of memories, she said — from as far back as 5 years old, when her mother was battling breast cancer at age 38. Every morning at breakfast, O’Brien recalled, her mom would sit at the table in a pink robe and walk her fingers up the wall, lifting her arm as high as she could and marking a notch on the wall. The notches stayed on the wall, a record of her gradual progress recovering from her mastectomy. “That was a really hard time,” said O’Brien, 46, who has worked as a professional singer since age 15 when she joined the well known local band The Mar Dels. “When I have memories of my mom I think, ‘What a strong woman.’” O’Brien has always believed her mother to be a strong woman, but as of a little more than a year ago, she can truly relate. Only six months after her sister Brenda, 48, was diagnosed, a trip to the endocrinologist for O’Brien turned into her own breast cancer diagnosis. “I wasn’t feeling well and knew I had a lump but thought it was nothing,” she said. “They sent me immediately downstairs for a

mammogram, and I was alone in a dark room when they told me. I think I said five times, ‘Are you telling me I have breast cancer?’” O’Brien stayed with her oldest sister, Kathleen, in Palm Springs during her treatment, and that fourmonth period of time was tough. Not only was it 114 degrees in Palm Springs during her chemotherapy, but O’Brien was unable to continue singing during that time and also her dog passed away. After her treatment, O’Brien urged her sister Kathleen, 52, to get a checkup — and along came yet another unfortunate diagnosis. “She went to the doctor and they told her she had stage three breast cancer,” said O’Brien. “But it was hard to spot because it was a different kind. She didn’t have a lump or anything; She had calcifications. She had been tired a lot, but the symptoms don’t always indicate cancer.” O’Brien and her sisters have the BRCA2 gene, which makes women more susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer by genetic inheritance. The ladies have been reaching out to women through their website, ThreeSistersSurvival.com, to tell their story and encourage women to get tested for the BRCA2 gene and get a preventative mastectomy if

they have it. They were even invited to appear on the daytime TV show “The View” to kick off National Breast Cancer Awareness month in October and tell their story. Although the sisters are all survivors who are powering through the recovery and reconstruction stages of their battles, their accounts left the audience moved and hosts Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck streaming with tears. “It was so amazing getting interview by them on the couch, and at one point Kathleen pulled her wig off and she got a standing ovation from the audience, all wearing pink shirts,” she said, adding that she got to hang out with Whoopi Goldberg after the show in her dressing room and the actress gave each sister a pair of shoes from her extensive collection. “She had so many different kinds of Converse and shoes that companies just send her,” said O’Brien. “She told us to pick any pair we wanted, and we all happened to wear the same size as Whoopi, a size 10.” Kathleen works as a real estate agent in Palm Springs, and Brenda is a make-up artist for the Lion King Broadway show in New York. With the exception of working as a recording artist in Japan for about six years in the 1990s, O’Brien has stuck

to her local roots, living in Del Mar and singing professionally around San Diego. More recently, though, she’s shifted her efforts to local outreach to help others who have or are going through breast cancer treatment. She made breast cancer awareness shirts that she sells in Place 360 and Julie’s Beachwear in Del Mar, and she also makes embellished headscarves that she sells, or she donates them to women

who face losing their hair due to treatment. She uses all proceeds to help patients, and she’s in the process of setting up a foundation called Pink Angel. She’s also helping the owner of Julie’s Beachwear to decorate a store window with uplifting messages and pink gear for the thousands who will pass through Del Mar on Nov. 16 for the Susan G. Komen three-day walk.

O’Brien said she has received a particularly positive response about the headscarves she has been making. She used to make them for herself when she lost her hair and she was inspired to keep making them after receiving loads of compliments when she wore them. “When you lose your hair, that’s the single weird-

Christian Hellmers repeats in National Handicapping Contest

BY JULIE SARNO Rancho Santa Fe resident Christian Hellmers finished second in the 2012 Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge at Santa Anita Park held on Nov. 2-3. Hellmers won second-place prize money of $154,525, finishing second to Patrick McGoey of New Orleans who took home the winner’s share, $255,341. Improbably, the contest was a repeat of the 2011 Challenge, when Hellmers also finished second to McGoey at the Breeders’ Cup, raced at (L-R) Breeders’ Cup contest administrator Ken Kirchner, Churchill Downs in Louis- Christian Hellmers and Santa Anita representative Nate ville, Kentucky. Newby. This year, Hellmers led the standings throughout the tournament until McGoey, down to $8,700, put most of his bankroll on 9-1 Fort Larned, in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, the final race of the contest. Fort Larned won and McGoey finished the contest with accumulated winnings of $85,341 to Hellmers $74,525, which was added to the second-place prize of $80,000. Hellmers girlfriend, Alicia Teresi, of Solana Beach, finished in sixth place in the Betting Challenge, taking home total earnings of $51,655. A Torrey Pines High School alumnus, Hellmers has had a passion for betting on horse racing since his teenage years. Growing up in Del Mar, where his mother George Hellmers still lives, Christian has fond memories of going to the track with his late father during his teen years. At 20, Hellmers and two friends – Nisan Gabay and Kevin McFarland –won several tournaments and were known as the “Pick 6 Boys,” capturing the attention of the racing world when they were interviewed on television and won $15,000 that day. Now 35, Hellmers is an entrepreneur. He founded thefirst10minutes.com, which specializes in “personalized matchmaking for solid men and radiant women.” Hellmers looks forward to the next chapter of his life. He has signed a contract to be on a proposed show about young handicappers on the G4 cable network. In fact, a camera crew followed him throughout the Breeders’ Cup weekend contest.

Breeders’ Cup a success for RSF residents The 29th Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships was held Nov. 2-3 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. Nearly 170 horses from around the globe competed in 15 races worth more than $25 million, many of which decided top honors for the year. About a dozen runners with local ties participated; among the owners represented were Bill Strauss (Del Mar), Bruce Chandler (Rancho Santa Fe), Gary Jones (Del Mar), Gary and Mary West (Rancho Santa Fe), Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners (Del Mar/Rancho Santa Fe), Mike Pegram (Del Mar), and Tom and Jonnell Sanford (Del Mar). Strauss found success that Saturday when his 4-year-old filly Mizdirection — whom he co-owns in partnership with sports broadcaster Jim Rome, Grohs, Beljak and KMN Racing — edged favorite Unbridled’s Note to win the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint by a half-length. The Breeders’ Cup — which rotates among tracks in North America— will be at Santa Anita again next year. For more, see page 3.

CONTEST continued from page 13 handicapping tips and horses on his website, www. christianhellmers.com. “I feel like Bodemeister in this year’s Kentucky Derby and Preakness,” Hellmers was quoted as saying in Daily Racing Form. “I ran two great races but just got caught by someone better on those particular days. These tournaments remind me of my engineering finals at UCLA, trying to analyze everything that is going on. I bet $2,000 to win on Fort Larned, but it didn’t end up being enough. Anyone can say they would have done something different in hindsight, but when you’re hold-

ing tens of thousands of dollars, that’s a lot harder to do. This contest is a game within a game within a game.” The Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge is the nation’s largest live money handicapping contest. A record 138 players entered the contest this year, which required a $10,000 buy-in and featured $370,000 in prize money. Players also keep the winnings they have accumulated. The top six finishers also earned berths into the Daily Racing Form/National Thoroughbred Racing Association National Handicapping Championship finals to be held Jan. 25-26, 2013 in Las Vegas at the Treasure Island Resort Casino.

GOT MILK? Local Girl Scouts invited to participate in Milk Photo Contest In 1997, an adorable 10-yearold Girl Scout named Megan Weber made an impression on Californians with her iconic uniform and an arm full of cookie boxes on a memorable print campaign, provoking the question, “GOT MILK?” To commemorate this moment in time and the partnership established 15 years ago between the California Milk Processor Board (CMPB), the creator of GOT MILK?, and Girl Scouts in California, the organizations are searching for three lucky Girl Scouts among

the more than 200,000 in the Golden State to star in a new print campaign. Locally, registered Girl Scouts are encouraged to submit a photo showing how Girl Scouts and milk are helping them become strong, healthy and confident young women. “We are proud to team up with the California Milk Processor Board again,” says Girl Scouts San Diego CEO Jo Dee C. Jacob. “This photo contest is a creative way for girls to show how our organization builds the leaders of tomorrow, and illustrate the benefits of drinking milk.” Megan Weber, the freckle-faced redhead featured in the 1997 campaign, will travel to San Diego to encourage local Girl Scouts to participate in the contest. Weber, now 25 and living in Sweden, didn’t hesitate to lend her support. “I remember missing my school Halloween party to participate in the photo

shoot,” says Weber. “I just couldn’t pass up a once-in-alifetime opportunity to star in a GOT MILK? billboard and to represent California’s Girl Scouts. Girl Scouting taught me how to become independent and hard working. I’m excited to represent both GOT MILK? and the Girl Scouts in California as they search for a new generation of strong, healthy and confident young women.” The 2012 GOT MILK? Girl Scouts Photo Contest is an opportunity for three Girl Scouts in California to each receive a $500 U.S. Savings Bond and to be featured together on a billboard (or comparable adver-

tising media) in their hometowns. The contest is open to all currently registered Girl Scouts, kindergarten through Grade 12 (except Girl Scout adults) belonging to one of the eight councils in California including Girl Scouts San Diego. From Nov. 5 to Dec. 17, 2012, Girl Scouts may submit a photo with a caption of no more than eight words showcasing the contest prompt: How have Girl Scouts and milk helped them become strong, healthy and confident young women? The Girl Scout submitting the photo and dairy milk must be fea-

tured on the photo. In addition to the three grand prizes, camp scholarships worth $350 each will also be given to 24 finalists throughout the state.

PARENTS continued from page 1 are common and normal for our children,” said Lance Christensen, a deputy sheriff who has been cracking down on drugs at Orange County schools for more than six years. “We’ve been having a lot of drug arrests and we recently hit [school campuses] aggressively searching cars and lockers … But what’s important is showing parents the search techniques and giving them the proper resources to know what their kids are doing.” OC Sheriff Sergeant Nancy Wilkey, who accompanied Christensen in giving the two-hour presentation, said most youth deaths — from suicide to drug overdoses — happen to kids between the ages of 18 and 25, soon after kids become adults and parents no longer have control. She referenced several recent cases, such as the September death of an 18-yearold boy who overdosed in a Huntington Beach hotel room, and said she wants to give parents the knowledge necessary to help prevent problems from escalating to that point. “I’ve started realizing that the parents often don’t recognize the signs and symptoms,” she said. “They

CIELO VILLAGE

have absolutely no idea, no control.” The officers said there are a number of new drugs that are easily attainable and very deadly, such as “bath salts,” synthetic cannabis such as “Spice” and “K2,” and legal prescription drugs that are abused. Bath salts are not really used in the tub, that’s a street name for a legal synthetic drugs that are sold in head shops and convenient shops and causes intense and often destructive hallucinations. The drug has also come up recently in the media due to severe cases in which users self-mutilated or mutilated others. Christensen and Wilkey also said performance-enhancing products are often being used by high school boys, and they have nasty side effects, such as the development of breast tissue due to failure to use an estrogen blocker in conjunction with the drugs. This often causes boys to lactate and even need corrective surgery. They said boys who work out often or play sports might be at risk of using these types of products. “You have to also remember that children see, children do,” said Wilkey, adding that 147 bottles of animal steroids were recently confiscated from an Orange County teen who

bought them in Mexico. “A parent with a body image disorder may influence their child. Everything parents do, their child is going to pick up on it.” Christensen also showed a plastic bag that was confiscated from a teen girl who had been using diet pills and laxatives, as well as binging and purging. The bag contained laxatives and a hand sanitizer which the officer said is often consumed to self-induce vomiting. They said of the biggest problems on high school campuses, however, is medical marijuana, mainly due to its availability. It has become increasingly difficult to monitor pot use because kids make pipes out of unconventional items such as plastic soda bottles, and the drug is even being sold in less obvious, odor-free forms like sodas, candies and other edible items. In particular, “Hubby Bars” are an extremely potent new edible cannabis product that has resulted in many overdoses in schools because it takes up to an hour to kick in, and kids often consume too much before it takes effect on their bodies. “Most of the time kids laugh when you ask where they get their pot,” said Christensen. “They say, ‘You can get it anywhere.’”

November 15, 2012

The officers encouraged parents to search their kids’ cars and trash cans and look for wrappers, mutilated soda bottles and other evidence of pot use. They said searching the bushes where kids go for walks might reveal discarded marijuana containers. They also said certain subcultures — such as the “indie,” “bohemian,” or “jock” — often indicate drug use or other risks, such as bullying, and they described the subcultures in detail so parents can pinpoint where their kids fit in socially. “If they are into indie or bohemian or hippie things, it’s likely they might be into pot,” said Christensen, adding that this subculture is characterized by loving nature and shopping at thrift stores for clothes, among other specific trends. “These are the trends we’ve been seeing.” Other subcultures the officers touched on are the “hipsters,” “mean girls,” and the “fresh” kids, which they described as “modern preps.” The officers were able to pinpoint these subcultures and risks by anonymously surveying local kids. The officers had the descriptions kids gave of themselves and their peers on display at the presentation, and they also touched on a number of Internet crimes that have caused problems.

Not only did they attribute some destructive behavior to social media and television shows, but they warned that our youth should be particularly aware of the digital footprint they leave behind on the Internet. For example, sites like Spokeo.com and Pipl.com keep a stockpile of information about people/visitors to the site, including the places they’ve lived and the Internet sites they’ve viewed. They told parents to consider installing Internet monitoring devices, such as keystroke loggers to make sure kids are safe. “There is no more anonymity,” said Christensen. “Everything is discoverable and that’s something we are trying to teach our kids in our schools.” For more information about this presentation or the READI Program, contact school psychologist Joseph Olesky at (760) 436-6136, ext. 6183 or email Joe.

SUCCESS continued from page 1 tics, Köhn noted that Newsweek ranked CCA the 97th best high school in the USA, which translates to the top 0.4 percent in the country. It was ranked in the top 1 percent by US World News, has the highest AP (Advanced Placement) pass rate in the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD), and ranks one of the highest countywide. For curriculum opportunity, above and beyond that offered at most high schools, CCA has programs such as robotics; QUEST, a science program that offers “real research”; Envision, a state-model visual and per-

ELECTED continued from page 1 the Santa Fe Irrigation District board with 57.51 percent of the vote. Candidate and incumbent Kenneth Dunford received 42.85 percent of the vote. Alan Smerican was elected to the Division Two

Rancho Santa Fe Review forming arts program; and a top-ranked athletics program. “The school is clearly working during a time that is not easy for public education,” said Köhn. Statistics from 2010 data show that, on average, California spent $9,375 per student annually, while SDUHSD received $8,247, over $1,000 less, a formula determined at state level. “This year that amount has decreased to just over $7,000 per student. For seven consecutive years there have been cuts,” said Köhn. This translates to just over $70 left from the allocated budget, per student per year, for discretionary spending. With the obvious shortfall, extra funding

is required to support necessities such as computer labs, equipment in the theater, information nights for parents, Challenge Day, graduation ceremonies, weight room equipment, software and computer updates, referees, artists-inresidence, assistant coaches, and more. Additionally, the annual cost for athletics programs is almost $300,000 and for Envision the cost is $150,000, alone. “These are the things we have to fund, we can’t fund it from district money because it just isn’t there,” Köhn stressed. “This is where the foundation comes in, it has picked up where we have been left without any funds to work with anymore.”

Funding from CCAF also correlates to the success of CCA graduates, said Ashley Banner, head counselor, who also spoke. “Our students are going off to college, they are happy and they are thriving.” Banner highlighted three very competitive schools that have shown a significant increase in successful CCA applicants this past year — CalTech, University of Michigan, and NYU. The numbers of students admitted to the UC system are even more impressive, said Banner. Overall, 80 percent of all CCA graduates go on to four-year colleges with significantly more accepted into Ivy League schools, proving that, despite the low budget, “the school is

doing very well,” said Banner. Foundation President Marty Foltyn spoke passionately about CCAF’s role in support of student achievement, setting a goal to reach $1 million in funding for this fiscal year. Barrera made closing remarks, giving thanks to those donors who have already contributed generously and urged attendees to donate. The names of contributors at the $2,500 level will be added to the recently unveiled Legacy Wall located on the school campus. “CCA is a community. It takes all of us doing our part to make it work, to make the school special, and I can’t express enough how grateful I am for you

to be here in support of our school,” said Köhn. The evening reception was made possible by the sponsorship of Taylor and Uschi Crouch, Gary and Anna Lillian, and Nick and Vanessa Smith. Julia Marie Schorn, principal harpist for the San Diego Youth Symphony and a CCA senior Instrumental Music Conservatory student, performed. College preparatory raffle items were donated by EUREKA, High Bluff Academy, and SUMMA, and gourmet food was provided by the Carmel Valley Farmers Market at CCA.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

November 15, 2012

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Make your voice heard at RSF School board meetings My name is Heather Slosar and I was recently defeated in a run for a seat on the school board of Rancho Santa Fe. The majority of voters have spoken and prefer to maintain the status quo. The elected candidates are very qualified men and I am sure they will do their best to serve our school. I would like to thank those of you who voted for me and would like to urge you to get involved if you too would like to see some changes at our fine school. Change can be a good thing. Hopefully my time and effort were not wasted. I shone a light on some areas that many preferred to keep hidden or did not agree were priorities (i.e. improve ranking, bring foreign language back to elementary, improve middle school so it can be the best middle school around whether public or private). We have the money. Let’s use it to be the best and have unique offerings that set us apart from the rest. I would like to tell you what motivated me to run for the school board because as a mother of five young children I already have plenty on my plate. A little over a year ago I started attending school board meetings. I soon found out that being an outsider at a school board meeting felt frustrating. The board does not permit asking questions or making any comments at any time during the meetings. The only time a parent is allowed to speak at a school board meeting is at the public comment section at the beginning of the meeting before the agenda items are discussed. In my experience the board only ever said “Thank you” and did not address the issues that I or others raised. For example, many months ago I researched our school’s rankings and noticed a downward trend in our scores (at the time our ranking was 19th in the County). I presented this to the school board and asked “How is the board going to address this?” and was simply told, “Thank you.” I felt invisible. There was no conversation, no comment by the board or administration, no follow-up or mention of this at future meetings. It wasn’t even in the minutes. This got me very frustrated and I realized that if I wanted to effect any change I would need to be on the inside. I have presented to other boards in our town (Art Jury, Trails and Rec., Tennis Board, RSF Association Board) and even if they did not agree with what I was concerned with at least I felt like I had a voice. At least they engaged with me. For example, I presented to the RSF Association Board and subcommittees of the board to get a playground approved in our town. It took almost two years but with a lot of perseverance and a board that was willing to listen it has been approved and constructed. I urge those of you who want to see some changes, like foreign language, improved rankings, or your own concerns, to get involved and make your voice heard. You can go to the school board meetings (or at least get on the email list for meeting minutes), speak with your elected board members or administrators. This is our school. It may be one of the best schools around but what’s wrong with wanting to make it even better? Heather Slosar drslosar@yahoo.com

Failing retirement — and proud of it! Have you ever considered how just a few hours of your time could positively impact your local neighborhood or our community at large? Suppose each retired resident of North County would reach out to a neighbor, their city block, a nearby school, or a local community project for just one hour a week. Just imagine the changes that would result – meeting a new neighbor, having a city block devoid of fast-food wrappers and unwanted flyers, children eagerly wanting to read a few minutes longer, military families receiving needed household items, homeless persons having warm hats to ward off the cold and damp. The possibilities are infinite. The results, mind-boggling. Currently some of your neighbors are helping foster children transition to independent living by providing furniture and household furnishings. Others are helping new immigrants to learn English and assimilate into a new culture. There are sewing groups making pajamas for low income families.

Playground location unsuitable for several reasons I just finished reading the articles in the Review about the new playground and couldn’t resist expressing my opinions on the actions of the RSF Association in this matter and the potential for serious liability. The location, directly adjacent to the trail and in a parking lot, is not only unsuitable for children but also presents considerable hazards for horses and riders. The playground has been located at the access to the trail known as the “Butterfly.” It is the most quiet and protected trail in our system, directly adjacent to the Riding Club, and often used to exercise horses that do not do well on other trails due to their fear and/or rider inexperience. Children go to playgrounds to expend energy. They should have a place to do this that does not put them or others in harms way. Horses, even the most experienced trail horses, will “spook” at sudden loud noises, abrupt movement, or thrown objects. The playground in this location presents an opportunity for injury to children, riders and their horses. Rancho Santa Fe is an equestrian community and it is marketed as such. Our trails should be protected from additions like this that could create dangerous situations. This playground should be moved to a location where safety is a top priority, and one that does not interfere with the use of the trails by other Association members. Susan Pitt

O’Brien said after her mom, who ran the public relations firm O’Brien Communications in downtown Del Mar for more than a decade, passed away from appendix cancer at age 65, she never saw herself becoming the soldier she considered her mom to be. “I remember once having a conversation with a friend and saying, ‘I don’t know what I would do if it ever happened to me.’ I said I didn’t think I’d be strong enough,” she said. “But then, boom, it happens and you are strong enough. You become your own soldier in your own army and you are responsible for pulling it together and taking each day

MATH continued from page 5 and Math Teacher Paul Coco, said, “Students must meet strict eligibility requirements in order to enter this course. The instruction is fast paced and rigorous. Students in this class have demonstrated stellar academic performance in math classes, excellent work habits, critical thinking skills, independence and a willingness to work above grade level.” Students who complete the course are eligible for Algebra 2 or Honors Algebra 2/Trig as 9th graders. Additionally, Pre-Algebra and Algebra Support classes are offered as enrichment courses to students. Both courses are beneficial to students who need extra help and those who want to solidify their core skills. “Review of critical standards, study techniques, hands on activities, and fur-

ther concept development are focuses of this course,” noted Coco. “Students receive additional instruction and practice, preparation for tests, and assistance on homework.” Foundation Funds Math Intervention Teacher and Smaller Class Sizes “The financial support from the Foundation allows us to hire a teacher in the full time math intervention position,” noted Schaub. “She teaches each of the grade level intervention groups as well as the Accelerated 6th grade class.” Additionally the financial support allows for smaller class sizes across all grades, as well as, access to accelerated courses and enrichment courses in the middle school setting. Please take this opportunity to make your contribution so that our children can continue to benefit from programs like Math RTI. All school families are encouraged to participate.

Won’t you join me and others who take pride in “failing retirement”? You don’t need to join another group or get out your checkbook. Simply turn off that TV, get out of your recliner, take a look around and put your life skills and energy to use. The payoff will be a new kind of joy, the joy of witnessing another’s self-esteem soar as they are empowered with a new skill, a new sense of self-worth, or pride in one’s surroundings.. No medical treatment, bottle of wonder drug, floral bouquets or accolades can exceed the joy of knowing that your efforts made a difference in the lives of others. Your legacy of community service and small acts of kindness may be the only role model of sharing oneself your loved ones will experience in their lifetime. Working alongside a child, a grandchild or a friend guarantee the joys will increase. Do you still have tread on your tires of life? Get out of the garage of ho-hum boredom and complacency!

CHURCH continued from page 2 posed is worth the permanent loss of open space.” She said that open space is not just about the wildlife corridor, but also serves as a break from urbanization and creates a community identity. St. Garabed’s plan is for four buildings on the 13.3acre site, including a 350seat sanctuary, an 18,000-square-foot social hall, an 11,000-square-foot library and cultural education center and a 14,000-square-foot youth center and gym. The architecture will reflect the tradition of Armenian churches, which includes a pointed dome and emphasis on height, rather than width. “I’m all in favor of the church,” said Harvey. “It’s just a lot of buildings and a lot of bulk and mass in that site.” The sanctuary is the biggest of the buildings in the plan and is 93 feet tall to the top of the cross. EscobarEck said they are well within their allowable height due to setbacks—they are allowed to build to a height of 111 feet. The three other buildings are within 30 to 40 feet tall.

Board member Manjeet Ranu said the perception of the bulk and scale is a judgement call and he likes the way the applicant has planned the site. “I think they’ve done a great job clustering the buildings. I’m always cognizant of development rights and I think they’ve done a good job preserving the parts that matter most to us but I do understand the concerns about bulk and scale.” Ranu said the most paramount issue with the property is the wildlife corridor and the trail access to Gonzales Canyon. “The project has met that principle goal in my mind,” Ranu said. “The key goal for me is protecting that corridor and I feel like they’re going in the right direction but we still need that environmental document.” The environmental impact review would be a next step, although the city has not yet determined the level of review. Harry Krikorian, a Carmel Valley resident and member of the church, said that he doesn’t see that the project negatively impacts the open space. “We’ve created a beautiful project that complements [this area] and will be something we can all be proud of,” Krikorian said.

Wes Bruce brings storehouse of memories to Lux Art Institute

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Just before dusk on an evening in late October visitors started making their way up the steep Encinitas hillside that leads to Lux Art Institute for the opening of Wes Bruce’s new installation, nearly a year in the making. Bruce received a San Diego Foundation Creative Catalyst Grant for “Structures Poetry Humans,” a project exploring the poetic relationship between people and the structures they inhabit. In his proposal, he wrote: “Most people today live life in connection with a cast of different structures ... home, hospital, classroom, workplace, crawlspace … place of worship … make-shift shelter. We interact with these structures, create and recall memories, meaning, purpose, thoughts, fears, and daydreams in and around them. These structures act as minor characters in many of our stories, ranging the full spectrum of emotion, experience, and human condition.” He proposed to collect as many of such stories as possible, and create a

On the project’s website, he documented his process with a daily calendar of poetry and pictures, and invited friends and strangers to share their personal stories. Over the year, while gathering fresh stories online and faded photos out in the “real” world, he built a pair of shack-like structures at Lux. The L-shaped hilltop

structure is filled with words and images from the past. Here memories are palpable, with hundreds of paper strips containing excerpts from submitted stories hanging from the rafters, and an arresting array of found photographs covering the walls. It’s a very special experience to move through the structure, contemplating the lives whispering around you, becoming part of what the artist calls “a living metaphor.” Down below, just past the entrance to Lux, is the smaller structure, more like a bus-stop shelter, its insides plastered with more story excerpts. Lux’s founding director Reesey Shaw, a longtime La Jollan, said Bruce was one of 26 artists who wanted Lux as a partner for their proposed Creative Catalyst projects. “We chose him because we thought his piece was so interesting — the yearlong buildup, the poetry, and the creation of the structures,” she said. “Plus, it lets us work on a project beyond our usual residency and art education programming, and

the interactive nature of the piece perfectly reflects Lux’s mission to engage visitors in the creative process. And for Wes, the site here was very poetic. He really felt an affinity for the place.” The artist answered, “It’s a thrill to have worked such a long time on the project, and then

have a chance to share it. Getting to build the structure from the ground up, and having it outside the museum instead of in it. Every piece of paper has a different personality, and they all have different voices as the wind blows through. And since each one is derived from a really deep personal source, it

encourages visitors to dive deeper into themselves.” This has been a big year for Bruce, who just got married a little over a month ago, to social worker and craftsperson Emi Sam Bruce. They’re currently making a patchwork quilt together. “She’s my partner in crime,” he said.

The Crab Cake Benedict features jumbo-lump crab cakes, sliced avocado, poached eggs on a toasted English muffin and topped with Hollandaise sauce.

The Awesome French Toast consists of thick slices of Bread & Cie Challah griddled and served with candied walnuts, strawberries and mascarpone honey butter.

BY KELLEY CARLSON ust up the hill from Ellen Browning Scripps Park, and around the corner from the Village of La Jolla’s high-end shops, is a cozy restaurant that feels like home. Attracting locals and tourists alike, Cody’s has a warm, beach cottage atmosphere that is also subtly sophisticated. With a capacity for 85 people, the eatery elicits comfort, inside and outdoors. In the dining room, there’s a fireplace framed by autumn leaves and pumpkins, and wall-length benches are filled with pillows. The sea-green walls prominently display photos of mollusks, shells and starfish, and in the hallway are images of La Jolla shot by General Manager Amanda D’Orazio. An array of pastries on the counter tantalize customers, while directly underneath are racks of wine in six labels — three white, three red. The wooden floor shines from natural, soft light that filters in through the skylight and windows. Music — from ’80s tunes to jazz — fills the air. Bordered by a white picket fence, Cody’s patio wraps around three sides of the lemon chiffon-hued building. Here, guests often unwind with their dogs while gazing out toward the Pacific, shaded by pale greenand-white umbrellas.

A fireplace adds to the dining room’s warmth. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON

The Lobster Roll has Maine lobster tossed in garlic aioli and stuffed in a griddled Challah roll.

Fish & Chips consists of lean cod in a light tempura batter and fries made from Kennebec potatoes.

Another factor that may add to one’s contentment while dining at Cody’s is the staff. Everyone has worked there for at least six years, with the exception of the owner, Adam Stearns, who took over the establishment six months ago. To fully appreciate Cody’s, Stearns advises patrons sit in one of the ocean-view seats on the patio and let the server provide some recommendations. For breakfast, that may be one of the Benedicts — Traditional Eggs or Crab Cake — or perhaps Stearns’ personal favorite,

From the patio at Cody’s, guests have a view of Ellen Browning Scripps Park and the ocean beyond. Chilaquiles, composed of tortilla chips sautéed in a Mexican tomato sauce over medium eggs and black beans, and topped with queso fresco and crème fraiche. At lunch, suggestions may include the Fish & Chips, with lean cod in a light tempura batter and hand-cut fries made from Kennebec potatoes; and an East Coaststyle Lobster Roll, featuring Maine lobster tossed in garlic aioli that is stuffed in a griddled Challah roll, which is complementary to the seafood and doesn’t overpower the flavor. For children, dishes range from Chocolate Chip Pancakes and “Holla” French Toast with strawberries, to Cheeseburger with fries and hummus with veggies and wheat crackers. To supplement grown-ups’ meals, there are seasonal cocktails, consisting of spritzers served in mason jars. Among the selections are Sparkling White Wine Sangria and the Blackberry Sage Spritzer. In addition, there are local craft beers from Stone, Green Flash, Coronado Brewing Co. and Ballast Point.

North Coast Rep Theatre School stages classic ‘The Outsiders’ Nov. 29-Dec. 2 Like most middle schoolers in San Diego County, Geoff Geissinger read “The Outsiders,” S.E. Hinton’s coming-of-age novel about honor and acceptance emerging from a teenage turf war between the working-class “greasers” and wealthy “socs” in 1960s Tulsa. Geissinger, then a 7th grader at Earl Warren Junior High in Solana Beach, liked the book, liked it a lot. He liked it so much, in fact, that he needled the North Coast Rep Theatre School staff to produce the stage version while he was performing “Charlotte’s Web” last season. “I thought, ‘That would be such a fun show to do,’” said Geissinger, who turns 14 Nov. 24 and is in 8th grade at Earl Warren. “It was different from the shows we usually do. It was more of a manly show.” Fellow student actor Gabe Krut also often lobbied the school’s director to select a coming-of-age play with a serious plot that kids his age could relate to, and is pleased to see “The Outsiders,” which Hinton wrote when she was 16 years old, produced. “It takes the book to another level,” said Krut, 13, an 8th grader at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla of Christopher Sergel’s stage adaptation. “It satisfies that need in a reader to see the character, to put the name together with a face.” Theatre School staff happily relented to the Geissinger’s enthusiasm for the characters and insistence that the story of social outcasts resonates today, and are producing “The Outsiders” at the Solana Beach theater Nov. 29 to Dec. 2. “I have been so impressed by the talent, drive and professionalism of all the young actors in ‘The Outsiders’ cast,” said Siobhan Sullivan, the show’s director. “Their spirit is alive in each of the characters. . .truly bringing the book to life.” “The Outsiders” marks Sullivan’s debut as a director for the Theatre School and her inaugural show as its Director of Theatre School Education and Outreach. She has 20 years experience as a director for adults (both in Chicago and for several local theaters) and youth, most recently serving as Artistic Director of Broadway Theatre Arts Academy and Performing Arts Manager/Artistic Director for the Joan B. Kroc School of the Arts, Kroc Kids and Verge Theatre Company. Local actor Brian Mackey (named 2011 Actor of the Year by the San Diego Theatre Critic Circle) plays Dallas and serves as a mentor for the student actors. The story revolves around Ponyboy (played by Krut), Johnny (played by Geissinger), their fellow greasers and a vicious attack by the Socs (short for “socials” and pronounced “soashes”) that sets off a turbulent chain of conflict and death, ending with a understanding of the power of the written word. The student cast is made up of: Creston Brown (Two-Bit) from Vista; Claire Chiswell (Mrs. O’Briant/Assistant Director/Dramaturg) La Mesa; Amanda Dodson (Assistant Director/ Cherry understudy) Encinitas; Bryan Dorman (Bob/Paul) Lakeside; Tanner Erdem (Jerry/Ponyboy understudy) Encinitas; Geoff Geissinger (Johnny) Carmel Valley; Isa Guilfoyle (Sandy) Del Mar; Audrey Hebert (Mrs. Syme) Encinitas; Gabe Krut (Ponyboy) Del Mar; Phillip Magin (Sodapop) Solana Beach; Henry Pedersen (Randy) Rancho Santa Fe; Jennifer Richards (Cherry) Carmel Valley; Ann Ryan (Assistant Director/Sandy understudy) Carmel Valley; Cayla Surovsky (Marcia) Carmel Valley; and, Noah Yatsko (Darry) La Mesa. Performances: 5 p.m. Nov. 29, 7 p.m. Nov. 30, 2 and 5 p.m. Dec. 1 and 2 at The North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Tickets: $10 for children (up to age 17) and $14 for adults. Call (858) 481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org/.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local author molds German family manuscript and research to tell ‘overlooked’ WWII story BY CLAIRE HARLIN What began nearly 70 years ago as an overseas pen pal relationship ended up being a lifelong friendship for local resident Arlene Lighthall, as well as the true story inspiration behind her new book, “Tomorrow, My Son.” While many accounts of World War II detail the suffering and killing of Jewish people as victims of the Nazis, a lesser known truth is that millions of Germans suffered too. Lighthall has, for much of her life, been determined to tell that story — a story she knows from following one German family for decades, and even learning to speak German in order translate a manuscript given to her by the family’s father. “I researched whether that story had been told before and I found only two books that dealt with it at all, but no day-by-day accounts,” said the author, who has lived in Del Mar for about 45 years and taught literature at MiraCosta College for 22 years before she retired. She began writing “Tomorrow, My Son,” her first published work, about four years ago, which she said was a lifelong and very personal Arlene Lighthall feat. PHOTO/CLAIRE HARLIN The story began for Lighthall when she was a teenager in the 1940s in Northern Indiana. Her junior high school teacher encouraged the class to send care packages with warm clothing to European refugees at the end of the war. Lighthall sent a pair of her father’s galoshes, and she later received a thank-you note from a German professor who had received the footwear and found an address inside. “He was so grateful,” Lighthall remembered. “He said he had large feet and often things didn’t fit him.” The professor mentioned he had a son, and Lighthall’s family also sent clothing for the little boy, Manfred, who was a few years younger than Lighthall. “His wife also wrote to thank us, and my mother thought, ‘Well, she needs some clothing,’ so we sent women’s clothing too,” said Lighthall. Correspondence between the families continued, mainly between Lighthall and Manfred, and the German father also kept a journal to send Lighthall, which detailed everything the family and other German residents experienced while being pushed out of their homes in East Germany by the Russians. Not only did those German residents face possible repercussions for their beliefs — no matter what side they were on — but they were victims of looting, violence and starvation, Lighthall said. During that time, these European refugees knew that the Jews had moved out of town and their stores had closed, however, they didn’t know what was going on, Lighthall said, and they especially were not aware of the Holocaust or concentration camps. “The family was against Hitler, but they couldn’t say a word in public,” she said. “They could have been shot just for listening to any of the propaganda.” Lighthall said the professor wrote in his manuscript that in one day he had to help bury 300 people found dead on the road. The forces used him to help identify bodies of fellow citizens. During her college years at Ball State, Lighthall started taking German classes so she could someday translate the detailed 80-page manuscript. She held on to it for decades before finally translating it in the 1970s, and the path to her book project really started taking form when she met a detective on an airplane, whom she asked to help her find Manfred — and he did. Lighthall contacted the family and made a visit to Germany soon after. The father had passed away, the mother was elderly and Manfred was in his 30s at the time. “I got to spend time with the mother and she was so delightful,” said Lighthall. “If it hadn’t been for that manuscript, I don’t think I would have learned German, and I wouldn’t have been able to talk with her when I was there.” Decades passed and Lighthall kept in touch with Manfred, but it was the time spent with his mother on that trip that resonated with Lighthall and provided the much-needed source of inspiration for her novel. “The manuscript wasn’t well rounded enough to be a book itself. It was all cold, factual notes,” said Lighthall. “But then I got the idea to write the book from the mother’s point of view, and because I had met her and spent time with her, that was possible.” Lighthall said it was like a trance getting into the character, and she additionally emerged herself in German history and culture to provide accurate details. By the time Lighthall started writing, however, the mother had passed away, so some unknown parts of her life had to be created as fiction. “One time when I visited, we took a walk and she told me so much about her life and it was all in German — I wish I had written it down,” she said. “It was fascinating.” She said that during the writing process she would take long mental trips to Germany, adding details such as German expressions and foods — even German poetry. “When I sat down to write, I wasn’t Arlene Lighthall writing,” she said. “I was the woman in my book.” Lighthall still keeps in touch with Manfred, who went from being in a refugee camp after the war to starting his life over as a teacher. He has two sons, has survived cancer and has always had an enthusiastic affinity for boating. “Tomorrow, My Son” is available for purchase on Amazon.com. Lighthall was thrilled to see that the first person to review the book on the website was Manfred himself. “I was 8 years old and, 67 years later, I remember having had a large adventure, though we had suffered from hunger, danger and anger,” he wrote on the book’s Amazon page, signing his name “Manfred the son.” To contact Lighthall or to order a book, email tomorrowmyson@gmail.com.

Local reception held for Kenya conservationists

olana Beach safari outfitter Aardvark Safaris held a reception Nov. 8 at Davanti Enoteca in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center to welcome some of Kenya’s top conservationists and Masai guides to Del Mar. Fifty of Aardvark Safaris’ clients from Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Carmel Valley and Solana Beach attended the reception to meet these special guests, including Karmushu Kiama and Jackson Ol Looseyia, two of Kenya’s top Masai guides and conservationists. Says John Spence, owner of Aardvark Safaris, “We may be experts at creating safaris, but these guys are the true heroes. Their work as guides and conservationists makes everything possible. They bring the spectacular sights and sounds of the bush into vivid relief while also protecting Kenya’s magical wildlife.” Jackson is a star among his fellow Masai and is a renowned conservationist, big cat expert and wildlife guru. Star of the BBC’s Big Cat Diary, advisor to Disney’s film African Cats, Jackson has an intimate knowledge of all the wildlife in the famed Masai Mara from the smallest insect to the largest predators, but the big cats are his particular favorites. Karmushu works in the Lewa Conservancy, Kenya’s leading catalyst of endangered wildlife protection through its rhinoceros research and anti-poaching programs.

International Bipolar Foundation acquires National Bipolar Foundation International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF) recently announced the acquisition of the National Bipolar Foundation (NBF). NBF was founded by F. Marc Kullman in 2005. After being diagnosed in 1997 with Bipolar Disorder, he was determined to become a spokesperson for the disease, with hopes of eradicating the stigma associated with the illness. Soon to follow was his notoriety for his “Just Today” painting, which depicts Bipolar Disorder. This painting served as the symbol for the National Bipolar Foundation. Kullman also introduced the Safe ‘til Stable Program with the MedicAlert ID bracelet . The ID bracelet helps physicians and first responders in medical emergencies, including law enforcement, to recognize the needs of individuals living with mental illness and treat them appropriately. Kullman first learned about the work that International Bipolar Foundation was doing in 2010 when he saw that their missions were alike. “I thought the work they were doing was great for all bipolar people and their families, and I decided to join efforts,” said Kullman. Shortly after, he approached IBPF President Muffy Walker to discuss joining forces. Founded by four parents with children affected with bipolar disorder, the International Bipolar Foundation is a not-for-profit organization. Walker saw the opportunity for synergy and agreed to work together towards the common objective of improving the lives of those affected with and by bipolar disorder. Kullman has accepted a position as a director on the IBPF board and will serve on the Program Committee. “We are thrilled to have Marc join our board. He brings with him a rich cache of skills as well as a passionate raison d’être, which will help us all further our mission to eliminate bipolar disorder through the advancement of research; to promote and enhance care and support services; and to erase associated stigma through public education,” Walker said. For more information about IBPF, please visit www.InternationalBipolarFoundation. org

TEDxYouth@SanDiego to inspire San Diego’s ‘Architects of the Future’ on Nov. 18 at CCA TEDxYouth@SanDiego will host nearly 400 students from high schools throughout San Diego County on Sunday, Nov. 18, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. at Canyon Crest Academy to experience the power of sharing ideas and the importance of becoming the “Architects of the Future.” Students will engage with big thinkers and doers of all ages and backgrounds pushing the boundaries of their endeavors spanning science, art, technology, environment, humanity and beyond. “Our student organizers set out to create an event that showcases true architects of the future of all disciplines, and calls to the architects of our future: our youth,” said Sonia Rhodes, executive producer for TEDxYouth@SanDiego. “It’s important to light a spark of possibility for our youth, so that through the power of ideas and a belief that anything is possible, young people of San Diego and the world can create the future we’re hoping for.” Following the theme of “Architects of the Future,” students will hear from more than 25 speakers and performers in four “stories” — sessions that build from the foundation to framing, construction and close with interior. In between each session, the groups will rotate between 15 interactive exhibits known as Interactive Experience Salons in technology (CONNECT), health and environment (PROTECT) and personal reflection (REFLECT) zones. The salons will include a MakerPlace equipped with 3-D printers to experiment with, a specially designed concept car with an opportunity to submit ideas to the car manufacturer for future iterations of the design, nanotechnology innovations and much more. The full speaker lineup is available at www.tedxyouthsandiego.com and a live video stream will be accessible to the public starting at 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 18.
