Mixed-use development pitched to replace gas station at RSF village entrance
Community
■ Mount Soledad Memorial Day ceremony to salute RSF family’s son. Page 3
BY KAREN BILLING Public outreach has begun on a proposal for a mixed-use project for Rancho Santa Fe. The 25,000-square-foot Village Gateway project would replace the gas station at the entrance to the village at Via de Santa Fe and La Granada. The Village Gateway will include a mix of office and retail use, an underground parking garage, park and patio space and a monument to welcome people into Rancho Santa Fe. At a meeting held May 12 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, project consul-
tant Jim Simmons said they are looking to enhance the ambiance and use of the village by adding potential retail uses such as restaurants and a jewelry store, as well as providing open spaces for the community to gather. “We’ve been working for about a year to think of different ways to develop the site, looking at how to develop it in a meaningful way and solve the problems inherent with the site, including the shape, size and present use,” Simmons said, noting that a Rancho Santa Fe-based development team has a strong focus on carry-
ing the “theme and spirit” of the village. Robert Green, RSF Association building commissioner, said the developers have been working with the Covenant Design Review Committee. But because of the project’s prominence, the committee felt it would be a good idea to hold a series of informational meetings with the public. Developers Enrique Landa and his son, Fernando, said that as Rancho Santa Fe residents, they are very sensitive to the community’s needs. Fernando Landa See DEVELOPMENT, page 27

RSF Education Foundation looking for more parent involvement BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation is moving forward with a new organizational structure that is intended to make it stronger, with better efficiency, greater transparency and more parent engagement. The foundation held two town hall meetings on May 13 to discuss the new structure as well as the endowment, which will reach the targeted goal of $5 million this year and effectively “come to life.” Chair Alexia Bregman said the foundation’s philosophy is a collective spirit — everyone in the school community contributing toward creating something wonderful in the school. This year, they have raised $1.2 million, and their annual grant allocation to the district keeps class sizes small and provides for individualized instruction and enrichment activities. “We are constantly looking at the organization as the community evolves and the needs of parents and the foundation evolves,” Bregman said. “Our history led us to a place when sometimes we lose the community involvement.” The previous leadership team had fundraising roles,
which Bregman said limited involvement from people who did not want to be fundraisers. The new executive board structure includes chairs and vice chairs of annual giving, finance, leadership team, endowment, communication, two atlarge members, a secretary, Superintendent Lindy Delaney and a school board representative. The foundation has also added grade level ambassadors as part of the annual giving team and is seeking to hire a paid foundation development director. Every position is available, and Bregman said she hopes people will put their names in to volunteer — she would love to have new members with fresh ideas. The paid development director position is something that has been discussed in the past. Bregman said it’s harder to raise funds on an annual basis, and a director could help with best practices for annual giving, as well as working with the endowment to raise larger sums. “There are very few foundations that don’t have a professional involved, and that is a big missed opportunity that we have,” said See PARENTS, page 30

RSF Association Board Biz: Board has improved its fiscal responsibility, transparency and inclusiveness BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD As a board and as a community, we have accomplished a lot in one year. First, we have a new manager, Bill Overton. I cannot overstate the role Bill has played in the four months he has been here. He has energized our staff, kept our board focused and helped to shepherd the achievement of many of our goals. Specifically, what has the board done to improve its fiscal responsibility, transparency and inclusiveness? Let’s consider “fiscal responsibility.” We began 2015 by completing a full independent audit of our accounting department and hiring a new controller. Based on the findings of the audit and with the help of our new controller, we restructured the accounting department and moved to a full accrual accounting system. I think it is safe to say that we are light-years ahead of where we were a year ago, in our level of professionalism, accuracy and clear reporting. The list of other specific administrative achievements in our pursuit of fiscal re-
Ann Boon sponsibility is long. It has been wonderful working with all the members of this board who have been so dedicated to getting our house in order. So, with a cleaner house, what have we done to open the windows? Transparency in the wider world seems to be an overused word, yet is infrequently implemented as practical policy. However, this board has been very serious about acting transparently. We turned our eyes first to the Covenant Design Review Committee (formerly known as the Art Jury), which serves an important role in maintaining our Association’s character, but has historically executed this role without an open decision-making process. We streamlined the approval

process, opened previously closed meetings, and instituted a more accurate progress tracking system. Although I could give many examples of our increased transparency, suffice it to say that with every action the board has considered, we have held our discussions in public and allowed them to be reported to you in the local newspapers. Finally, inclusiveness has meant taking great strides to include more community members and voices in our decision-making process. Primarily, we focused on increasing voter registration and participation. In addition, we plan to study ways to improve the registration process so that voting is easier and more equitable. There is one particular example of inclusiveness that I would like to highlight. As you probably know, there are several teams that are working on the plan for the proposed Health and Fitness Club — which is now going by the name of The Covenant Club. There is a Design Committee, a Marketing Committee and a Finance Committee. All of these teams are composed of members who represent a
broad cross-section of the community. Not only are there representatives of both the Golf Club and the Tennis Club, but there are also members who are skeptical of the project as well as strong proponents. For a project this big and controversial, we wanted to be sure that the entire community would have a voice in the planning phase, long before we get to the community vote. Last fall, among the top priorities for enhancing our community set by the board were: • To improve our technology infrastructure, including high speed Internet service and cell coverage; and • To prepare a full design and engineering plan for what we are now calling The Covenant Club. In addition to working on these projects intended to enhance our Rancho Santa Fe Covenant lifestyle, we also increased attention and resources toward several other important areas related to preserving our special environment: • Water. We have established an excellent partnership with the Santa Fe Irrigation District primarily to help members find ways to
conserve water in their homes and in their landscaping. Over the long term, through SFID, we will be staying engaged with other agencies at the local and state level to try to find long-term solutions to the water shortage challenge in our community. • Fire. Wildfires are always a hazard in Southern California. Our severe drought conditions have made fire preparedness an even more critical issue for all of us. We work closely
with the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department to improve fire preparedness throughout the Covenant. The challenges to our mission to preserve the historic rural character of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant are daunting. Our goals to enhance the ambience of our Covenant community are lofty. This board is committed to ensuring that the special character and lifestyle of the Covenant will flourish far into the future. ann.boon@me.com

Mount Soledad Memorial Day ceremony to salute RSF family’s son BY KRIS GRANT Nearly five years to the day after the 9/11 attacks, Marine 1st Lt. Nathan Krissoff, a counterintelligence officer with the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, deployed to Iraq on Sept. 6, 2006. Just three months later, in the early morning hours of Dec. 9, as he and three fellow Marines were returning to base after combat patrol in a town on the outskirts of Fallujah, Krissoff’s Humvee was struck by a roadside bomb. He bore the brunt of the explosion and was killed instantly. A plaque honoring Nate Krissoff will be dedicated at the annual Memorial Day Ceremony at Mount Soledad National Veterans Memorial, beginning 2 p.m. Monday, May 25 at 6905 La Jolla Scenic Drive (at Via Capri). The keynote speaker will be Maj. Gen. Lawrence D. Nicholson, Commanding General, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton. The ceremonies will include music from the MCRD Marine Corps Brass Quintet and a T-34 Performance team fly-over. Col. Bill Seely, who was Krissoff’s commanding officer in Iraq, will address his character and ultimate service to country. Seely will also share the inspiring story of the entire Krissoff family — his father, William B. Krissoff, M.D., his mother, Christine Krissoff of Rancho Santa Fe, and his younger brother, Austin, who also became a Marine intelligence officer. Dr. Krissoff found a very special way to honor his son’s memory. At age 61, he left his thriving orthopedic practice to join the Navy Medical Corps, serving as the primary or assisting surgeon on more than 225 seri-
ous casualties. (View video at YouTube: Bill Krissoff.) One family’s story According to his father, Nathan was deeply moved by the 9/11 attacks that occurred while he was in his junior year at Williams College in Massachusetts. Many of Nate’s friends had friends or relatives who were lost in the attacks. A year after he graduated, Nate applied to join the CIA, but his recruiter, although impressed by his academics and character, encouraged him to first gain some real-world experience. Nate chose to do so through service to country: he joined the Marines as an intelligence officer in 2004, at a time when the war in Iraq was volatile. But that was where he requested assignment, after intelligence school and an assignment in Okinawa. The story of sacrifice and determination didn’t end with Nate’s death. In the summer of 2007, his parents hosted Col. Seely at their home in Reno, Nevada. Dr. Krissoff asked who provided medical care for Marines recovering from severe injuries. Seely told him that was the Navy Medical Corps battalion surgeon. For Dr. Krissoff, that was an important moment. “I knew that was what I wanted to do: become a battalion surgeon. I felt it would be a fitting and rewarding way for me to give back. “In most cases, fathers inspire sons,” he said. “In this case, sons inspired Dad.” Krissoff was referring not only to his son Nate’s ultimate sacrifice, but to his son, Austin, who, at the time of Nate’s death, was finishing officers school on his way to becoming a Marine.
Bob & Kathy Angello
Krissoff left his thriving orthopedic practice to join the Navy Medical Corps. But the road to the war zone wasn’t easy. Help from the top Recruiters told him he was too far past the age limit of 42 to be remotely considered. It took presidential intervention for Krissoff to override the age limit. After an address to the American Legion in Reno, where the Krissoffs lived at the time, President George Bush and Special Senior Advisor Karl Rove met with the Krissoffs and other families who had

R. Roger Rowe youth art and writing contest raises awareness of pet care BY DIANE Y. WELCH Entertaining stories about dogs, cats and even a salt water fish were submitted recently from students at the R. Roger Rowe Elementary and Middle School in Rancho Santa Fe as part of an innovative youth art and literary program. A contest was created, in partnership with the nonprofit Art for Barks, to help educate youth about the importance of loving and respecting their pets. “Children are ... important in future pet care and reduction of (pet) abandonment,� said Lynn Moon, cofounder of the nonprofit that is dedicated to bringing together artists and authors to help improve pet care. In total, 140 students throughout the school were engaged in the literary competition that posed the question, “How is my pet important to my family?� Along with essay entries, 13 students submitted artwork depicting their pets. Essays included a story about Roscoe, a French bulldog; a goat aptly named Vincent Van Goat; Bella, a therapy dog dubbed “the
cutest dog on Earth �; 11 chickens who soon became six; and a dog named Flower who “brings laughter, love, energy and happiness� to the Johnson family. Everyone who entered received a certificate of appreciation brightly illustrated with a print from fine artist Lori Faye Bock. First place winners in three age divisions — and the overall art winner — each received a $25 gift card. The first-place awardees were one of six finalists from each grade division. In grades K through 2, Piet Kohnke-Sunenshine placed first. Liam Bentinck, Chloe Kumar, Kathryn Schneider, Francisco Theberge, and Scarlett Lee placed second through sixth respectively. Professional book editor Christine Miller judged the submissions. In grades 3 through 5, Ava Rose Wehlage placed first, followed by Charlie Johnson, Nikki Hemminger, Nick Sanford, Sofie Brown and Logan Johnson placing second through sixth. Retired magazine editor Diane Lofshult served as judge. And in grades 6 See ROWE, page 8

RSF couple support Center for Children’s important work on behavioral health BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Center for Children will hold its 128th Anniversary Dinner Celebration on May 28 at the U.S. Grant Hotel. Founded in 1887, the center is the oldest children’s nonprofit in San Diego and provides support for children and teens struggling with behavioral and emotional health challenges. The center offers therapeutic care, specialized education and critical life skills to more than 1,000 children and their families with programs in prevention and assessment, outpatient counseling, foster care, residential treatment and transitional services. Rancho Santa Fe’s Jack and Carol Clark have been dedicated supporters of the center as members of the board and are deeply passionate about the center’s mission to protect the joy of children, prevent emotional suffering, incite change and inspire a world where all children and families live happy, healthy lives. The Clarks funded the Jack & Carol Clark Adolescent Treatment Center, the renovation of the Sports Court, and most recently, the Jack and Carol Clark Pavilion.
Carol and Jack Clark: “We decided we wanted to make a difference. San Diego Center for Children stood out for us.” Courtesy photo “Our hearts are there and we donate and help when we can,” said Carol Clark. “It’s so important to heighten people’s awareness regarding mental health in lieu of our current universal mental health situation today. This is something that is extremely important.” Moisés Barón, CEO for the San Diego Center for Children, said he is very grateful for the Clarks’ vision, generosity and ongoing commitment to the center’s mission. “Their contributions to the Center have not only been very meaningful, but transformational. Because of their giving, their name is now closely associated with our residential and educational programs; throughout the county our Adolescent Residential Treatment Center is simply known as ‘Clark,’” Barón said. “It is truly inspirational for an organization to work with friends that create such significant impact.” Giving back is something that has always been important to the Clarks. Before relocating to San Diego in 1998, Jack and Carol served on the board of the Jack Clark Department of Pediatrics at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. Now called the Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai, it is ranked among the nation’s top children’s medical institutions in
seven specialties. “Jack started the department in the early 1980s so they could raise money for research for clinical care and science discovery to improve the health of children,” Carol Clark said. “They are doing quite well.” When the Clarks arrived in San Diego, they continued to focus their attention on the needs of children. “We decided we wanted to make a difference,” Clark said. “San Diego Center for Children stood out for us.” They attended events for donors and toured the campus. “Their mission was very parallel in what we wanted to pursue dealing with children and mental health, something that we really hadn’t tackled before,” Clark said. Through their involvement, the Clarks learned the troubling statistics that 1 in 5 children struggles with a behavioral or emotional disorder and of these, only 20 percent will have their disorder diagnosed and treated. More than 90 percent of children and teens who commit suicide have a behavioral health disorder, 50 percent of children who have a behavioral health disorder will drop out of high school and 70 percent of boys and girls in the juvenile detention system have at least one diagnosable disorder. The center’s work is critical in that it seeks to provide solutions for these children who are suffering by building awareness and understanding in the community and giving them the help they need. In addition to her work with the center, Carol has also served on the board at the Scripps Center for Integrated Medicine and has served on the Scripps Clinic Cardiology board. She and her husband funded the Jack & Carol Clark Gymnasium in the New Life Enhancement Center at Scripps Center for Integrated Medicine.
EXCEPTIONAL HOMES. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE.
The adolescent center that bears the Clark name at San Diego Center for Children houses 30 teens ages 13-18 who have an acute need for therapeutic care, living away from home to regain health and happiness. “We really had a passion for helping these kids. They are wonderful at-risk kids who have been abused terribly and have been in very, very traumatic situations,” Clark said. The Clark Pavilion has given the children a place to gather on campus, an outdoor venue for events and a spot for them to eat lunch and hang out. Before, they had to eat lunch in their classrooms. The Clarks are helping to fund a new kitchen for the campus, where children will be able to learn culinary skills and possibly pursue a career in the field. “We’ve seen San Diego Center for Children develop and grow all these years, and we’ve really helped a lot of kids,” Clark said. “That’s really been an accomplishment for us.” Clark said they support the work the center does to help San Diego’s most vulnerable children become successful adults, and she hopes others will be inspired to help too. The May 28 Anniversary Celebration will include silent and live auctions, a threecourse dinner, and a special performance by jazz phenomenon Matt Savage. Savage struggled with his own disability and diagnosis with autism as a boy. He taught himself how to read music and play the piano, and started composing music. Much like the children at the San Diego Center for Children, Savage discovered “a new beginning” and used music as his means for expression. RSVP for the event by May 22.

Chris Danner named RSF Firefighter of the Year; Greg Rainville honored at Appreciation Dinner The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) has named Firefighter/Paramedic Chris Danner as the recipient of the 2015 David B. Dewey Firefighter of the Year Award. Danner was announced as the recipient of the award at the annual RSFFPD Appreciation Dinner for his dedication, sense of duty, leadership, commitment to the Fire District, and customer service. “It is a true honor to be recognized by your peers,� says Fire Chief Tony Michel. “Chris Danner is an outstanding firefighter and we are privileged to have him as a member of this District.� Danner was hired by the RSFFPD in 2006. Throughout his tenure at RSFFPD, Danner has positively represented the Fire District both on and off duty. He has assisted with new hire testing and oversees the purchase and use of personal protective equipment. He is currently a member of the Strategic Plan Committee, which is currently working on a new Strategic Plan to help guide the Fire District for the next five to seven years. In his spare time, Danner oversees his non-profit foundation, The Pint Project, which partners with local breweries to raise money for emergency medical services and military families in need. Also recognized was Captain Greg Rainville, who received the Phoenix Award, which recognizes an employee who demonstrates critical judgements and actions in performing life-preserving or life-resuscitating efforts. On Aug. 4, 2014, Rainville and his wife, Monica, were driving on Park Blvd near the San Diego Zoo when they saw a commotion just off the road. They realized a person was down and stopped to help. Someone had just called 9-1-1, but none of the bystanders had started CPR. Rainville quickly assessed the situation and began chest compressions. He continued hands-only CPR until San Diego firefighters arrived on the scene, by which time the man had a pulse and was starting to breathe on his own.

RSF resident RSF Girl Scout honored for top cookie sales at Thin Mint sendoff on USS Midway lunches with At age 14, Girl Scout Seambassador nior Roni Nelson of Rancho Santa Fe is the same age as the from Kenya event where she continually
shines. Roni — Girl Scouts San Diego’s No. 1 cookie seller for the fourth year in a row — recently took center stage aboard the USS Midway Museum during Girl Scouts’ 14th annual Operation Thin Mint Sendoff. The celebration showcases Girl Scouts San Diego’s OTM program, through which generous cookie customers “send a taste of home and a note to show we care” to deployed service men and women. Roni, who is a member of Troop 1095, sold 3,280 boxes Zoey is second from right, and Roni is at far right. this year, with 634 donated to Operation Thin Mint. During the cookie season, the savvy cookie boss mentored Girl Scout Brownie Zoey Ronco, of Troop 1814, who sold 2,148 boxes (551 for OTM). Roni and Zoey were among only 20 Girl Scouts who reached the goal of 2,015 or more boxes in 2015. This is 9-year-old Zoey’s first year hitting that mark — and Roni’s sixth. The top sellers arrived and departed the Sendoff by helicopter as a special tribute to their contributions. All proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program stay local to fund Girl Scouting activities, such as camp, group trips, career development experiences and community service activities. Roni often donates her cookie earnings and her time to organizations serving the military, including Honor Flight San Diego. At this year’s Sendoff, San Diegans celebrated sending the 2.5 millionth box of cookies to U.S. military troops. Festivities began on the flight deck, which featured vintage aircraft displays and canine ambassadors for Freedom Dogs, a nonprofit serving wounded troops. Attendees had the opportunity to personally thank members of the armed forces for serving their country — and to write notes of support for deployed troops receiving cookies through OTM. Participants also donated nonperishable groceries to The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, which held a food drive that morning. OTM Sendoff guests included Girl Scouts taking part in a sleepover aboard the historic ship, which recently marked its 70th anniversary. Girls bunked below deck to get a taste of Navy life. While exploring the world-class carrier, they learned about the nearly all-women crew who built the ship.

through 8, Carson Wehlage placed first. Devan Tantuwaya, Michael Chang, Luca Csathy, Mia Bregman and Wasay Zaman placed second through sixth. Retired school administrator Jane Ditmar served as judge. Kaitlyn Zou produced the winning art piece for the fine art submission. Marlana Hand, Annabelle Mutch and Kaitlyn Abstaz placed second, third and fourth. The art contest was judged by prominent local artist Cris Weatherby who commented that the skill development of the sixthgrade artists was far superior to what she had previously seen, said Moon. The program was facilitated by second-grade teacher Nona Richard, the literary project chair, art teacher Marika Fagan, who was the art chair, and the enthusiastic support of district Superintendent Lindy Delaney, who stated, “We are all so pleased to see students’ love for animals helping to inspire meaningful and creative expression through writing and art.� Two of the first-place winners were siblings. Seventh-grader Carson Wehlage and fourth-grader Ava Rose Wehlage each wrote an essay about Carson’s service dog, who helps him communicate with other kids and keeps him safe. “Mom and I went to this service dog school, and it’s a long story, but I got a very cool service dog. The first Autism Safety Service Dog in the United States. It was Lexie!� wrote Carson. “(Lexie) can open regular doors with her teeth and push the handicap button at store entrances with her paws to make the door open. She can stop my brother from running if he is heading into danger. It makes me proud that she is such an obedient dog and smart, too,� wrote Ava Rose. Art for Barks has set up a special segment on its website that displays some of the students’ work. “Properly educated about significant pet care, children will have a profound impact on the future quality of life of family pets,� said Moon.

Bike-riding memoir revolves around Californian’s quest for life purpose BY DIANE Y. WELCH In 2002, Jamie Bianchini headed for Tokyo to embark on a quest that took him eight years — traveling through 81 countries — to complete. While that in itself was a feat of some magnitude, Bianchini traversed the globe on a customized tandem bicycle, inviting more than 1,000 strangers to jump on and join him on part of his journey. His adventure has now been documented in a published memoir, “A Bicycle Built for Two Billion — One Man’s Adventure Around the World in Search of Love, Compassion and Connection,” released in April. Bianchini gave a multimedia presentation, book signing and wine tasting at 2PlankVineyards corporate headquarters in San Diego on May 7, as part of a 38-state book tour that will take the Bianchini family six months to complete. (He also spoke at the RSF Library May 7.) California was the kick-off state, with Bianchini giving his first presentation in his home town of Santa Cruz. His book retells his despair in 1999, when failure in his business and relationships left him helpless, crying and questioning his life’s direction. “It was soon after that the inspiration came that I needed to follow my heart and try to make a difference in the world,” said Bianchini. It took 2 1/2 years to plan the tour with his best friend, Garryck Hampton, who a year into the journey had a near-fatal accident and had to return home. Bianchini continued the tour alone, which was not expected to take eight years. “The world’s a big place,” he joked. “And there were a lot of ups and downs, which made it challenging.” Despite the adversities — which included Bianchini contracting malaria, his bike being stolen twice and the inevitable flat tires — he continued to pedal, and in his quest to make a difference, facilitated donations of 100 bikes to the poor township of Cape Town, South Africa; helped disperse life-saving malaria medication to small African communities; started a school for AIDS orphans in Uganda; and brought fresh water to a community in Bolivia. His mom, Carol Fabian, was firmly behind Bianchini’s odyssey. “She supported me in the ups and downs, she believed in me and I wanted to include her in the journey,” Bianchini said. Fabian met her son in India. “I learned to sit on the floor and eat with my hands, wear burgundy robes and pay with beads,” she recalled. “I really enjoyed the simplicity of the Indian people.” She rode with him for a whole month in Africa, not on the tandem, but on her own bike. “We met in Nairobi and biked up to Kampala in Uganda, almost 500 miles, then shot the rapids of the Nile River,” said Fabian. “Jamie inspires me to do things beyond what I can imagine. That’s always the way it has been.” Bianchini didn’t imagine that he would meet his wife on his journey. “I was really struggling on part of the ride. I almost quit when I was in Argentina. But I decided not to. I

In Columbia, the couple had a son, Luca, now a 4-year-old. They married and also have a 2-year-old daughter, Candela. Bianchini self-filmed his adventure with a video camera and tripod. “I would stop the bike, run up a hill, set the camera up, run back down the hill, ride the bike through the frame, then run back to the camera to stop the shoot and continue on my way.” Adventures included a ride to a Japanese teahouse, a Fijian Christmas, an encounter with militant Zimbabwean police officers, soaking up the breathtaking scenery of the Alps and feeling the groove of a Brazilian Carnaval along with a multicultural cast of co-pedalers. The book tour, titled “Courage to Connect,” represents the family’s intention. “We are not out there to make a million dollars — we want to get our message out,” said Bianchini. That message is an inspirational one that he hopes will give people a fresh perspective on humankind so they can “learn to live big and give big.” Find more information on the Family Book Tour and the charity projects it supports at www.aBicycleBuiltForTwoBillion.com.

Social media postings provide framework for novel by local author BY DIANE Y. WELCH Social media is now a part of life. But for some it has become an obsession, with their all-important status postings to their virtual friends mattering more than their actual lives. Two real-life best friends and co-authors, Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke, have taken this concept, added a magical element, and created “The Status of All Things,” a novel just released by Atria Books. It follows their debut book, “Your Perfect Life.” Two launch events are planned locally: at 7:30 p.m. June 8 at Warwick’s in La Jolla, and at 7 p.m. June 10 at Eclipse Chocolate in San Diego. Many Facebook pages are so carefully curated that people’s lives look perfect, commented Steinke about the premise for the novel’s plot. “But the truth may be quite the opposite,” she added. The main character in “The Status of All Things” a 35-year-old advertising executive named Kate, is one such “social media junkie.” The plot of the romantic comedy jumps off when, a week before Kate’s wedding in Hawaii, she’s checking in at hot spots, posting her witty observations and picture-perfect selfies. When she is unexpectedly jilted the night before her wedding, she posts, “I wish I could do the past month over.” Kate wakes up the next day able to go back in time and rewrite her history through Facebook status updates. Her fiancé, Max, is still with her, along with the realization that she’s been given
the power to wish for whatever she wants. “Kate always framed her life a certain way,” said Steinke. “A big part of her worry was that she had built up her Facebook friends’ expectations for this wonderful wedding and she couldn’t give them this big payoff.” For Steinke — a former television producer, now living in Chicago — and Fenton, who lives in North County, their friendship is firmly based on reality and was developed through a shared experience that includes attending Vista High School and Cal State Poly Pomona. Both majored in communications, belonged to the same sorority, and were roommates, and have been close friends for more than 25 years. The two became collaborative writers eight years ago and began brainstorming the plot for their latest book a year ago. “We started talking about Facebook and how we all have people in our social media lives that we are jealous of,” said Steinke.“We asked the question, ‘What is it that makes us believe that people’s lives are perfect? And why are we so afraid to put our real life out there?’” “One thing that we really talked about is that you have to be in on the joke with Facebook. You’ve got to know that everybody is putting their best foot out there, and you can’t let yourself get down or put yourself up to the same level as everyone else,” said Fenton. “We started asking, what if you could live the life you wanted to on Facebook, and what if you could make a wish on Facebook
Lisa Steinke and Liz Fenton co-wrote ‘The Status of All Things.” and it came true?” she recalled. “Is it more important to be happy or perfect? The two things are not the same.” The book took about six months to write. Team-writing makes the process easier than writing alone, said Steinke. “It’s awesome to have someone to bounce ideas off of. I will write a chapter, pass it to Liz, she will edit that chapter, and vice versa.” Consequently, writing the book was joyful for both authors, they said. Earning early praise, the novel has been compared to the movie, “Groundhog Day,” set in the era of social media, and has already been called the “must-read of the summer,” with a favorable Net Galley review.

But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day*… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery. TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan. The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses. Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.
They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Torrey Pines High School, led by Head Coach Richard Contreras, swept the CIF Division I Swim Championships, winning the title for both boys and girls. This is the sixth consecutive year the Lady Falcons have brought home the title. The last time the boys and girls won dual titles was 2011. The CIF meet format was expanded this year, with 32 athletes qualifying for each event and 16 coming back for finals. According to Contreras, “The new format really helped us. We are a large team with a great deal of quality depth. It was all on display on Saturday, May 16, at CIF.” This is also the first year for a state championship for swim. The top three swimmers from combined Division I and Division II CIF results will go to state. Ten Torrey Pines athletes qualified to move on to this next level.
Local runners finish strong in LJ half-marathon Del Mar’s Kevin Zimmer, 52, won his age group in the April 26 La Jolla Half Marathon and finished 10th in the race overall with a time of 1:21:27. For the second year in a row, Carmel Valley’s Robert Fanjas finished second behind Zimmer in the 50-54 age group. These two guys in their 50s are still plugging away and going strong. Several other local runners finished in the top three of their age groups. Scott Hoover of Del Mar finished first in the 30-34 age group, Dan Minteer of Rancho Santa Fe finished second in the 65-69 age group, and Rancho Santa Fe’s Sophia Gamboa, 16, finished second in the under-17 age group.

Comfort Cubs make grief easier to carry for bereaved new mothers BY ASHLEY MACKIN Sixteen years ago, Marcella Johnson experienced one of the toughest things a parent can endure — the death of a child. Since then, the local resident has been helping other mothers in the same situation heal and cope. But Johnson’s efforts don’t include peer counseling or support groups, sending flowers or cards. She simply makes a teddy bear. She founded The Comfort Cub organization to distribute the bears. Although it received its 501(c)3 nonprofit status only on May 1, nearly 7,000 Cubs have been distributed over the past 16 years to hospitals and care centers to reach women experiencing the emotional pain, but also the lesserknown physical pain that comes from losing a child. “When I was six months pregnant with my fourth child, I found out (the fetus) had osteogenesis imperfecta type II, which prevented the bones in his rib cage from growing at the normal rate, so his heart and lungs were being crushed. We were told he could die any day,” Johnson said in an interview. “Doctors said if I were lucky enough to make it to term, he would likely die during the birth process. The best-case scenario was that he would be born alive and die shortly thereafter. So every day from then on, the only way I knew he was alive was to feel for (his) kicks.” Against the odds, her baby, named George, was born alive, and lived just long enough for Johnson to look at him and tell him she loved him. “Then he died in my arms,” she said. “Immediately following George’s death I experienced emotional pain, obviously, but what surprised me is that I had strange physical symptoms; my arms ached. I thought at first I bore down too much when giving birth, but I knew that wasn’t it.” One day, when she was visiting George’s gravesite with her father, he handed her a terra cotta pot with flowers in it. “When I held that pot, at that weight and size, my arms immediately stopped aching,” she said. Johnson began doing research on possible physical sensations that come with grief. “I read about mothers who experienced aching arms and chest pains, and to fix that, one woman carried around
bags of flour or carried produce the size and weight of a baby. Another woman wrapped a blanket around a pineapple,” she said. “It sounds cuckoo, but unless you’ve been in the shoes of someone who’s lost a child — you are so broken and in so much pain and your body is calling out to hold something — you wouldn’t understand. I completely understood why these women did that.” To offer women who have experienced that loss something more dignified, Johnson partnered with best friend and fellow La Jolla High School graduate Susan Heck to establish The Comfort Cub, producing teddy bears that weigh five or six pounds. “I thought it wouldn’t be unusual for a woman to have a teddy bear — you win them at the fair, you get them on Valentine’s Day — but these could be something she could carry when she’s alone to give her a sense of calm,” Johnson said. And because everyone grieves differently, recipients could also “throw it on the ground and stomp on it because they are so angry,” she said. Using the money she and her husband, Matt, had set aside for baby George’s clothes and diapers, Johnson started hand-making teddy bears weighted with split peas and taking them to the San Diego Hospice’s Perinatal Program. That program assists families who face an impending birth and death, but decide they want to continue the pregnancy. The hospice program gives the bears to hospitals for mothers who go through their program. “Our hope was that no woman who lost a child in San Diego would ever leave the hospital empty-handed,” Heck said. From there, Heck and Johnson gave the bears to Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns, and Rady Children’s Hospital. In addition to mothers who had lost an infant, the bears were given to mothers with children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Johnson said. “Their babies aren’t going to die, but they are still leaving the hospital after giving birth with empty arms.” Heck shared the story of an appreciative recipient from many years ago who just got married. “She said the bear she received after she lost her son was placed at the altar at her wedding so her son could be represented,” she said. Johnson said she met a woman who wanted to give a Comfort Cub to a friend whose 21-year-old son had died in
Comfort Cub founder and La Jolla High School graduate Marcella Johnson with one of her weighted bears. an accident. When Johnson explained they were designed for mothers of newborns, the woman replied, “No matter how old a child is, they are always their mothers’ babies.” With a growing pool of women wanting a Comfort Cub, funds ran out for providing the bears for free. Now they are available to purchase for $49.95. “With every purchase, a large portion of the proceeds go to making more of them and sending one to someone who cannot afford a bear,” Johnson said.

by Overlooking the Possibility of Need for Long-Term Health Care LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faced by retirees.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a semiprivate room, that cost in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91 percent. When it comes to ďŹ nancial planning, determining how to pay for longterm care is often the last item families address, even though it may be one of the most important. Failure to plan for long-term care needs can be ďŹ nancially devastating. We are well aware that health care costs are a big concern for people going into retirement, but the costs of long-term care can still be an unexpected ďŹ nancial shock. Below are Annual Care Costs in San Diego for 2015: Home Health Care Annual Costs Homemaker services $51,366 Home Health Aide $51,480 Adult Day Health Care $20,519 Assisted Living Facility $42,000 Nursing Home Semi-Private Room $93,805 Private Room $127,750

said they have heard the gas station called an “eyesore,” and that the property should be brought up to the level of the community. They have also heard from restaurateurs that there is not enough parking. Continuing to get feedback is vital. “We want to take in everyone’s suggestions and incorporate them as much as we can into the project,” Fernando Landa said. Enrique Landa, who met the landowners, the Rababy family, as a customer of the gas station, said he is interested in being as transparent as possible with the community as they go through the development process. “We really want to do it right,” he said, noting they have entered a 40-year lease on the property with the Rababys. The developer has proposed taking an excess right of way on La Flecha to expand the 25,769-square-foot site to 30,810 square feet. The street will still be the full width, but the curbside parking will go away, replaced by parking space in the underground garage. The project’s three-level parking garage would have 138 full-size spaces, more than the 88 spaces that would be required. The parking garage would be open for village users, although it might be paid parking, similar to the use of the Del Mar Plaza garage, Simmons said. Developing the project will be costly, as it involves digging the three-level subterranean garage as well as dealing with gas contamination from the station. Simmons said the site has been under a clean-up order from the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health for several years. No further remediation is required currently, but it will be required if the site is developed. Simmons said they will have to take the soil out and dispose of it in a proper, lawful way. “One of the issues we’re going to have to deal with is traffic,” Simmons said. Adding a 25,000-square-foot building will bring more cars to the roads. The developers have agreed to do a traffic study before they submit their application to the county. Simmons said they have also considered how they will interface with Plaza de Santa Fe across the street, such as aligning the driveways to allow users to reach the post office and whatever replaces the Village Market space. Green said the project faces challenges with Covenant regulations similar to those faced by the controversial Lilian development many years back. The first regulation is the floor area ratio (FAR), which is determined using a formula dividing the floor area by the total site area. The code permitted in the village commercial district zone is a FAR of .6 with a permitted bonus of .75. The bonus is al-
lowed if the project meets several criteria: The building must be Spanish-colonial Lilian Rice-style design, a total of not less than 10 percent of the site area must be used as courtyards, no portion can exceed one story, and at least 25 percent of the ground floor area must be retail use. By these regulations, the developers would be allowed to build a 23,107-squarefoot building using the .75 bonus. As the applicant is proposing the extra square footage and a two-story building, a variance will be needed. One resident asked whether the developers would consider scaling the project back to meet the regulatory code and questioned why the Association has guidelines if developers don’t have to necessarily stick to them. Green said that is a task for the decision-makers. He said the project will have to be examined carefully by the Covenant Design Review Committee, which will make a recommendation to the Association board. That board has final approval. “The idea is to bring more amenity to the village than impact,” Simmons said. “We’re trying to figure out a way to earn the right to have the variance.” As Green noted, the developer will also have to submit a construction management program to the committee, which will include things like how long it will take to excavate the site, where trucks will go, where employees will park, the hours of work and how the site will be cleaned up. One resident asked whether there was any way to increase the retail requirement for the project, as the community will be losing the service of the gas station as well as its grocery store when Village Market leaves. “Everyone in the community is tired of another bank and real estate offices. It would be a great benefit if you brought in a restaurant or grill or something interesting, because our village right now is not interesting,” the resident said, questioning many of the renderings at the meeting being labeled as “Rancho Santa Fe Office Center.” Simmons said they have heard that feedback from the community and the goal is to get as much retail as possible. They are looking at 4,900 square feet of retail, almost double what they started with. Another resident said while she loves jewels, she’s not as enthusiastic about having a jewelry store. She would rather see retail that people would visit more frequently on a regular basis. Some suggestions from the audience included fast-casual restaurants. The resident also said that since the project has been stated to be costly, she hoped that retail businesses that can enhance the community will be able to afford the rent.

Letters to the editor/opinion
Rant with Randi: If you’re trying to raise a D1 athlete, you may be going about it all wrong... BY RANDI CRAWFORD If you’re trying to raise a D1 athlete, you may be going about it all wrong. Did you read the article about the eighth-grader who is 6 feet tall, weighs 200 pounds, and has scholarship offers from Florida State, Miami, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina and Kentucky — in two different sports? I can understand the colleges wanting to put a claim on Lebron James’ kid, but this is nuts. I’m not going to be naïve and ask when a kid can just be a kid — but eighth grade, really? It feels like this is all anyone ever talks about any more — whose kid got offers from which school, blah blah blah. I get it. It’s practically impossible not to get sucked into the “elite, competitive, travel and club” sports mania with our kids. And let’s face it; everyone with kids in competitive sports is acutely focused on keeping up with what all the other kids are doing to stay on top. I’m
just as guilty as the next guy. If I hear about someone who has his or her son at a speed and agility training facility, I ask my husband whether we need to look into that. So I decided to call my good friend and go-to sports confidante, whom I have great respect for. She is raising three very talented and humble boys with strong values. I asked her, “What is your mantra with regard to club sports, and how do you keep your boys from burning out”? The amazing part of her answer, which took me about 30 minutes to comprehend, is that she never answered my ques-
tion directly, because she doesn’t have a specific mantra with regard to sports. In other words, her family doesn’t focus on what school they should be targeting for their boys and how to go about making that dream happen; they want to raise three good young men. She and her husband simply want to be proud when their kids walk out the door. Keeping the goal in mind, that drives all of their decisions. I can attest to this because every time I’ve called her for sports advice, her answers reflect core values more than they relate to my specific issue. Sometimes it drives me crazy, but she’s always right. As for a list of values they teach their boys, here are just a few: Always be humble and don’t showboat; be respectful to your coaches and to your teammates; be a good teammate and grow into a leader;
show your talent with skills, not your flash (cleats and clothes); earn respect; put in the work; and be unselfish on the field or court. This is how they were both raised and how they are raising their boys. I think that so many of us miss the big picture because we want to make sports perfect for our kids. She calls that the “entitled bubble,” and that’s scary, because that’s not the real world, especially for our kids growing up here in Southern California. The weather is always perfect and we don’t have to worry about seasonal sports because kids can be outside all year long. My husband visited his sister in Connecticut recently, and her daughters were practicing in a fullon downpour. While I used sports because that’s my world, this conversation can be related to whatever your child is focused on. This could include school, art, drama, music, or whatever they are passionate about. If you have God-given talent, and you want to do well, you need to put in the effort to be on
top. Personal trainers and tutors can only take you so far. And the last thing my friend emphasized to me is that you want your child to have other interests. Hopefully, they will connect with a certain teacher, or subject, because you never want to put all your eggs into one basket, in case life doesn’t turn out the way you had planned. Let kids be kids. If you want them to condition, have them run around outside, play with a sibling, jump on a trampoline, or climb a tree. With all the pressure and responsibilities they have, at least let the conditioning be natural! This is one of the best conversations I’ve had in a long time, because sports consumes my life and sometimes I do question my sanity. Especially when I read about eighth-graders getting offers from more than one college. I hope this helps you as much as it helped me! Email me at www.randiccrawford@ gmail.com.

On Thursday evening, April 16, my husband and I attended another “pool” meeting though this one was labeled “Health Club”(?). Following the presentation, the Q & A became a bit heated. One comment raised my ire enough to respond in this manner. The woman from the audience indicted that the pool/health club issue was the older people against the younger members of the Covenant. To my thinking, this issue is not that, but the attitude of a few people pushing for something they want and expecting the whole community (RSF Association) to pay for it in a very cramped, undesirable location. We have been residents of the Covenant since 1970 — a span of 45 years. We were once the “young” ones. Our issue many years ago was the need/desire to provide a gymnasium for the school and the residents of RSF. There was no money given/taken from the RSF Association, but 10 fathers put their names individually and as a group on a loan guarantee to make it happen. A few put up the initial $50,000-$75,000 (in today’s dollars, approximately $325,000-$350,000). Under the leadership of this group who organized as Rancho Youth, successful fundraisers such as horse shows, golf tournaments, and tennis tournaments were held and the loan was paid off in three years. The gymnasium was built, given to the school that had donated the land and was named the Holcomb Center for a community family who lost three members in a tragic accident during this time. Rancho Youth evolved eventually into the self-sustaining RSF Community Center of today. Why should our monies in the Association’s Community Enhancement Fund be used to fund exploratory work on an “aquatic” center/health club without any plan than it will be a self-sustaining asset in the future? Why should the RSF Association members be asked to fund something that many of us will not use? How much money will it take for this to become a self-sustaining venture and not a drain on the finances of the community? Wouldn’t the Community Enhancement Funds be better used to address acute issues facing all of us, such as fire danger, lack of water for our homes and our golf club, and finally, better cell coverage for all?

Testing, testing...1, 2, 3: Part 2 BY MARSHA SUTTON Students in grades 3-8, and grade 11, have been spending a good part of the merry month of May taking standardized tests ordered this year by the state under a new system of test- Marsha Sutton ing known by the cumbersome name of Smarter Balanced. At the San Dieguito Union High School District, students in grades 7, 8 and 11 are taking Smarter Balanced assessments. Students in grades 8 and 10 are also being tested in science. I recently watched about 30 eighthgrade students at Earl Warren Middle School take a Smarter Balanced math test in the school’s computer lab. It was fascinating, seeing students plugged into their electronic devices, taking tests in a Brave New World sort of way. Wandering around at the beginning of the test, I noticed that each computer screen featured a different starting question. No copying possible. More interesting were the test questions. On one question, kids were shown an example of the steps one hypothetical student used to solve a problem, and then were asked to indicate how the student calculated the problem wrong. In which step was the first mistake? The second? How should the problem be solved? Interesting questions. What’s cool about Smarter Balanced is the ability of the test to adapt to student in-
put using what’s called Computer Adaptive Testing. This allows the test to adjust to a student’s ability to answer the questions correctly. In other words, each student gets a different follow-on question based on how well they do on the previous question. If they answer correctly, the computer system then asks a different question than if the student answers incorrectly. Basing the difficulty of future questions on previous answers provides a more accurate measurement of student achievement, the SBAC website states. According to www.SmarterBalanced. org, the computer adaptive system gauges how well each student meets the requirements of the test ‘blueprint,” which will select two questions out of perhaps a dozen on fractions, for example, that assess basic ability. With correct answers, the system then takes the student to higher level questions. Students who answer challenging questions correctly receive higher scores. Students drag, drop, manipulate, complete graphs and charts, write short answers, pick the best answer (not necessarily the right one) … in other words, become engaged with their learning. I liked it. And so did the students I spoke with. “It’s more interesting, more than just multiple choice,” said Aliza, an Earl Warren eighth-grader. “There were a lot of tests,” said Leah, also an EWMS eighth-grader. But she said it was not overwhelming.
We just learned about a decision to install traffic lights in the Ranch. We moved here about a year ago. Having no traffic lights in the Ranch was a significant reason for our move to RSF. We strongly believe that: 1. Adding traffic lights will severely impact the rural look and feel of RSF and our dark-sky policy. Please refer to the RSF Protective Covenant and Regulatory Code. 2. Letting larger groups of cars through the light at one time may cause excessive speed and congestion in the town. 3. It’s a significant inconvenience to wait for a light to turn outside peak hours (i.e., approximately 22 out of 24 hours during the week and 24 out of 24 hours on the weekends). 4. Peak hours, as hinted above, are about two hours a day, Monday through Friday. Traffic is throttled well during peak hours with the stop signs. We rarely see speeding or accidents. 5. Lines are sometimes long, but very rarely over 10 minutes. Is that wait enough to ruin RSF? You have heard a very limited and possibly incorrect voice of the Association members. Before such a significant change is made, we believe you need to have a majority vote of all Association members. Please be advised that the Board of Directors may be conflicting with one or more of these items from the Rancho Santa Fe Association Bylaws: Article III, Section 2. Special Meetings Article III, Section 5. Voting. Article IV, Section 6. Limitation on Board of Director’s Powers. Article IV, Section 7. Self-Dealing Contracts. Article IV, Section 8. Standard of Conduct. For example, for Special Meetings: …the only action which the members can take at the meeting, other than to approve minutes or to adjourn, is to authorize the distribution to voting members of written ballots for voting without a meeting on the proposal(s) described in the notice of the meeting. The record date for members entitled to vote by such written ballot without a meeting shall be the same record date as fixed for the special meeting. Such written ballot shall be distributed no less than twenty (20) days, but not more than forty-five (45) days, following the date of the special meeting. Bill and Vida Siino, Members of RSF Association
She added that the classroom preparation was minimal, and the few practice tests, she said, were useful. Defending your work Earl Warren principal Adam Camacho and SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt both like the new assessments, which are based on Common Core State Standards. Schmitt said Common Core curriculum looks more like high school AP and honors classes, and the Smarter Balanced tests are modeled after Advanced Placement tests, reflecting more rigorous standards. Previous assessments focused more on memorization and the ability to recall content, he said, while these tests assess critical thinking and ask students to apply learning in new ways through analysis, synthesis and inquiry-based problem-solving. “They must defend their work and communicate their thinking,” Schmitt said, which better prepares them for college and career. He also said the SAT and ACT tests are now aligned to Common Core. That many of the test questions integrate math with English/language arts was another positive feature, they both noted. Camacho said the computer-based, interactive tests are more kid-friendly and engaging. Earl Warren serves about 700 students in grades 7 and See TESTING, page 30

plished classical pianist and poet, and the top English student. “He had many strengths; he was inclusive and had an innate emotional intelligence,” Krissoff said, and, as a case in point, shared a letter Nate wrote home just three months before his death: “Almost five years to the day after September 11, 2001, I have the chance to put my money where my mouth is in terms of service ... I’m constantly reminded of that famous quote from Tom Hanks’ character at the end of ‘Saving Private Ryan’: ‘Earn this.’ Earning it will mean sacrifice, determination, doing my job to the best of my ability. I chose this, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” The proud father also related that Capt. Austin Krissoff completed his Marine Corps service in 2012, obtained a graduate degree in securities studies at Georgetown University and now works for an executive search firm specializing in security personnel.

lost loved ones in Iraq or Afghanistan. When the president asked whether there was anything he could do for the families, Krissoff spoke up. “I’m a pretty good orthopedic surgeon,” he said. “When my younger son is deployed to Iraq next March, I’d like to be working there as a Navy medical officer.” Bush quickly turned to Christine, knowing this would mean both her husband and surviving son would be in a war theater simultaneously. “What does Mama think about this?” the president asked. After Christine told him she was in agreement, the president asked Austin for his assessment. Austin said his dad was in good shape — he had long run marathons, skied and kayaked — and could handle the assignment. The president summoned Rove and tasked him with making the arrangements. Rove checked out Krissoff on his way back to Washington and learned that he was indeed “a pretty good surgeon.” “His reputation was that of an outstanding trauma and sports medicine surgeon. He was also a marathon runner and a really fine person,” Rove wrote. Two days later, Rove placed Krissoff’s application on the president’s desk just

On his final day at the White House, Rove wrote Krissoff a note to wish him well. Inspired by his sons In short order, Krissoff retired from his medical practice. Once commissioned, he joined the Navy Reserve’s 4th Medical Battalion north of Miramar Air Station, and the Krissoffs moved to San Diego County. Krissoff served two deployments, the first with a surgical team from Camp Lejeune at al Taqaddam Air Base near Fallujah, just a few miles from where Nate had been killed. His second, just days after his return stateside, was at the main trauma center at Camp Bastion in southwestern Afghanistan and coincided with the Marines’ assault on Marjah, a Taliban sanctuary riddled with snipers and makeshift antipersonnel mines. Krissoff’s first case was a triple amputee. Over the next seven months, he served as the primary or assisting surgeon on 225 casualties. He worked at Camp Pendleton through 2011, then deployed to Guantanamo Bay. Through it all, he said, he remained inspired by his two sons. “Nate had a lot of talents,” Dr. Krissoff reflected. “Whatever he put his mind to, he accomplished.” Those accomplishments included a high school career where he was a standout athlete in water polo, captain of the swim team, president of the student body, an accomcontinued from page 29
8, and Camacho reported five opt-outs. Although comparisons cannot be made with previous standardized tests, educators do expect performance scores to be lower than what students and parents have come to expect, due to the newness of the material and incomplete teacher familiarity with Common Core. They both stressed that these tests are only one of many ways to assess student achievement. There are no penalties (yet) for schools that don’t administer the tests, but Schmitt said this year’s test information will provide a baseline for next year when the state hopes to have in place an accountability system, complete with rankings or school achievement indicators of some sort. He said this year’s results would be good feedback for students and teachers – to learn how well the new standards are being taught and how well students are learning the material. “It also helps prepare the kids for AP tests,” he added. At a news conference, Tom Torlakson, California’s state superintendent of public instruction, called the tests “an academic check-up.” Despite SDUHSD parent meetings and Schmitt’s frequent columns on the subject,
many parents remain uninformed about the shift to Common Core and its new assessments. Schmitt identified three primary reasons why Common Core seems misunderstood. He said the benefits have not been clearly communicated, teachers need more training, and – in a word – politics. Common Core has become so politicized that its noble purpose and its cooperative development by business, industry, professionals and government leaders across all political spectrums, have become lost in translation. There are very good reasons why Common Core matters. [See Part One, last week.] Teaching children how to think, and not just memorize boring facts and formulas, is a novel approach that is a long time coming. Opting out of testing may be gaining traction across the country, and no one argues that parents don’t have the right to choose that for their children. If parents want to opt their kids out, then fine. I’m all for nonviolent civil disobedience. But do it for the right reasons. Opposition to Common Core standards is not one of them.

Correction/Clarification A headline on a story in the May 14 Review was incorrect. Anup Katheria should have been referred to as the director of the Neonatal Research Institute at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns.
PARENTS Glenn Oratz, who was announced as the chairman of the endowment. The meeting provided a chance to hear about the endowment’s history. In 1997, class sizes had swollen to 32 kids, and parents got together to try to change that. Ten families, led by Steve Hamerslag, contributed a combined total $100,000 to help reduce class sizes. Eighty percent of the Parent Teacher Organization’s fundraising went to the school and 20 percent went to help grow the endowment, which started with a targeted goal of $10 million but was then scaled back to $5 million. In 2007, the PTO and endowment merged to create the foundation. As Oratz explained, the endowment is the long-term legacy for the school, while the foundation starts new with fundraising every year. The endowment’s goal is to bring in gifts of five figures, “long-term and significant monies.” As the endowment has nearly reached its $5 million target, distribution will begin in the 2015-16 school year. A seven-member board will determine how the money should be distributed, at a conservative rate of 3 percent or $126,659. As the compound annual growth of the endowment is 6 percent, Oratz said they will ideally distribute funds modestly less than the return. The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, the third largest in San Diego, manages the funds. “(The endowment) is something we should all be incredibly proud of — it’s an incredible asset,” Oratz said. To involve more members of the community, the foundation is pursuing community partners. According to Jeff Symon, community partners chair, the foundation collects sponsorships and in-kind donations from local businesses, about $88,000 this year. The foundation then prints nine “Extra! Ordinary” monthly magazines with the funding at a cost of $14,716. Symon said their goal is to raise $100,000 this year through the community partners. An independent Parent Engagement Exploratory Committee is also looking at ways to get more parents involved, including the potential of bringing back a PTO. Superintendent Delaney said some parents’ concerns have resonated with her about the difference between parent involvement and parent engagement. “Parent volunteers in the district are second to none, but there is obviously a piece missing by some people’s standards,” Delaney said. Delaney said the district wants to en-

sure the foundation keeps going strong because that is “the heartbeat” of what the district does — but the committee can look at how to serve the school community better. To help encourage parent feedback, the foundation will start hosting town hall meetings to allow parent input on a variety of topics. The first will be held at 8:15 a.m. May 26. Parents at the town hall questioned whether there could be dedicated fundraising campaigns for things like the gym project or the Spanish program. Oratz said that the endowment will allow a mechanism to receive directed giving, and said they could explore the possibility of dedicated fundraising campaigns. However, he said a danger of that kind of fundraising is that it could potentially “cannibalize” money that goes to support the foundation’s annual fundraising goals. Another parent asked about the school’s surplus this year and the district’s reserves of $5 million. The parent asked whether a surplus could go back to the foundation instead of having them start from scratch. Delaney said some years the district has had a surplus because of the awkward budget timeline — it can be hard to predict where property tax revenues end up. This year was the first time in five years that property values went up and they received $240,000 more than what was anticipated. Oratz noted that the district has a $10.5 million budget, and any organization with fiscal prudence would have reserves associated with it. “I think there’s some misconception that the school is flush with cash that’s readily available,” Oratz said. Delaney said the board believes it is in their best interest to keep a healthy reserve. Since for several years they have looked to increase the footprint of the campus for playfields, they have reserve funds earmarked for a potential purchase of land when it becomes available, such as the nearby Mature property or the Associationowned “Hat” parcel. “I never want parents to feel like the district is saving money when we’re asking for so much — that’s never been the intent,” Delaney said. Nomination packets have gone out for the various new foundation positions and are due back by May 22. The nominating committee of the board will meet May 27 to prepare the slate of nominees for the 201516 school year. “It’s a work in progress,” Bregman said. “Come be a part of it and help us keep making the district better.”

‘Come From Away’ musical celebrates international sleep-over spurred by 9/11
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER In the spirit of theatrical productions based on true-life events, La Jolla Playhouse is staging “Come from Away,” a rock-infused musical, directed by its artistic director Christopher Ashley. Recognizing good material when they see it, Canadian husband-and-wife writing team Irene Sankoff and David Hein (book, music, lyrics) tell the tale of what happened in the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland, in 2001. Describing the genesis of the play, Hein said, “The 10-year anniversary of 9/11 was coming up, and (through research) we discovered that during the crisis, numerous passengers and pilots from 38 planes were forced to land in Newfoundland. They gathered with the people who lived in Gander, made friends and stayed for a while. The experience changed lives, and in 2011, people returned to Newfoundland to commemorate what had happened
and to reconnect with the people they had met!” Funded by a grant, Hein and Sankoff traveled to Gander for a month in 2011 to meet hundreds of people willing to share their experiences. “The town was full with press who only wanted fivesecond soundbites,” Hein said. “We wanted to hear their entire stories. We came back with a lot of great tales and new friends from all over the world.” The couple then holed up in a cabin and began studying their research and hundreds of hours of interviews to begin the book, lyrics and music for “Come From Away.” “Irene and I write everything together,” Hein said. “We started working together when Irene was an actress and I was a singersongwriter. I grew up with a love of music and listening to East Coast Celtic music. We have a variety of instruments — a bodhran, accordions, fiddles, guitars — in our house, but at heart we
Irene Sankoff and David Hein wrote the musical “Come From Away,” which will have its world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse from May 29-July 5. Photo by Alixandra Gould are guitar-based musicians. Being married and doing everything together, we can work 24/7, but initially, we were working so much that we barely saw each other. “To spend time together, we developed our first show, ‘My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding.’ It took off, and now writing music and lyrics is our day job.” The couple’s goal for “Come From Away” is to introduce audiences to the world of Newfoundlanders. “The musical is based on inviting neighbors, family and friends into one’s house and gathering at the kitchen, where everyone pulls out an instrument,” Hein said. “People dance and sing, and it’s fun and accessible. The kind of music we’ve written has been out there for generations in England and Ireland, yet somehow when you put it in a musical theater context, it’s fresh, new and interesting.” Sankoff added that because the music is fun and invit-
ing, “we knew this story could be a musical.” Hein pointed out that there are hundreds of characters in the show “like many we met in Newfoundland. Our 12-person cast turns on a dime to go from local to around the world — England, Texas, California or Africa.” The element of wanting to unite different nationalities in the play mirrors efforts occurring in the world. “We were truly inspired by all the stories we heard,” Hein said. “We laughed with them, we cried with them, we hope to pass on the same feelings we experienced to bring Newfoundland, on the northeast coast of North America, to San Diego.” Sankoff added that she hopes audience members sing some of the songs and are moved by the story, because “a lot of people have not heard about this event.” “Come From Away” runs matinees, evenings May 29July 5 at La Jolla Playhouse’s Potiker Theatre, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus. Tickets from $66; call 858-5501010 or visit lajollaplayhouse.org.

Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation nourishes dreams of military children BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The Hilton Del Mar hosted a gathering of supporters and friends for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation’s inaugural San Diego Awards dinner recently. As the nation’s oldest and largest provider of need-based scholarships to military families, the foundation was there to honor major donors, Marines, and children of Marines and Navy corpsmen during the Month of the Military Child. High-ranking Marine and Naval officers and other Marines in colorful dress uniforms escorted spouses and significant others. They brought a legacy of service and sacrifice to the celebration. Margaret B. Davis, president and CEO of the foundation, was cheerful and gracious while praising the honorees: “We believe that the children of Marines and Navy corpsmen are truly the future of this country. They are raised with honor, courage and commitment — they are doing great things.” As the granddaughter of a World War I Marine corporal, the wife of a 38-year Marine officer (now retired), and the mother of an active-duty Marine, Davis has her own legacy of service. “I learned passion for Marine families when my husband was a battalion commander —- when I saw the impact (of service) on 900 families that were under his command and care. We said to each other, ‘We’ve got to take care of these families.’” She has done so ever since. She explained how with the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, “Funding is 100 percent private contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations. These are all folks who believe that this program is one of the best investments they can make. “We are the only military scholarship provider that funds every eligible student,” stated Davis. Eligibility depends largely on financial need, coupled with a parent’s Marine Corps service or Navy corpsman service with a Marine unit, and a student’s grade point average of 2.0. “There’s tremendous pressure for our resources, because there are a lot of great eligible students,” Davis said. Most of the foundation’s students have a 3.0 or better. The foundation tracks its scholarship recipients. “We can tell every investor exactly what student they are investing in, and then tell them what happens, what those students are studying, when they are graduating, and what they go do.” Brittany Brown, the daughter of a recently retired Marine Corps master sergeant with 22-plus years of service, was excited to be a speaker at the dinner. Brown is a “growing investment” at Cal State San Marcos. “I’m studying biology right now, with an emphasis on molecular cell biology,” said Brown. “I actually want to be an oncology nurse. I want to do more work with cancer. Without this opportunity, I would probably not be saying ‘I’m graduating next year.’ It’s a huge blessing to be able to just focus on school.” Brown has two sisters, also attending school. She offers some advice: “Reach out around

Photo by Jeanne McKinney you — family is not just a nuclear family. Honestly, that’s what the Marine Corps is all about. I made a lot of friends that supported me when my dad wasn’t there, because they understand the experience.” Andrew Javier Coba, another recipient of the foundation’s generosity, was also an awards attendee. Coba was 4 years old when his father (an American citizen) chose to join the military and moved his family from Quito, Ecuador, to the United States. “He had two kids, no education, and the Marine Corps was our best option for a promising future,” said Coba. He outlined the challenges of growing up in a military family. “Our generation — we come from years of war, of loss, and sacrifice. It was a lot of struggling in the fact that — we’re missing our parents.” Coba’s father is an active-duty aviation maintenance officer, selected to be promoted See MARINE CORPS, page B27

Author Voss shares her pain, joy and growth in memoir ‘One of Everything’ BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ We love to read memoirs. And judging by the number of them being published, writers love to write them. From “Angela’s Ashes” to “A Child Called It,” what many of the most successful memoirs have in common is the writer’s ability to put us on the ground amid the pain, pathos, turmoil, growth and joy of their personal story in a way that creates true empathy. The reader is thus not only engaged, but also profoundly affected by a writer sharing a journey in a way that makes each of us take stock of our own. In “One of Everything,” author Donna Carol Voss is not just honest, she is brutally honest, creating a story that is simultaneously engaging and enveloping. We feel her pain, her joy, her trepidation. We are brought back to our own youthful insecurities — magnified by the depth of her experience. And, in the end, we assess our journey as she has assessed hers. One has to wonder what it takes to open the Donna Carol Voss has door to a life the way the best memoirists do. Meet Voss and learn about memoir writing at Barnes & written “One of Noble Grossmont at 6:30 p.m. May 29 and Barnes & Noble Everything,” a memoir. Oceanside at 5 p.m. May 30. Visit www.donnacarolvoss.com. She’ll be speaking at area Q: Not many people would have the chutzpah to Barnes & Noble stores. share a story like yours. When did you decide to write a memoir, and why did you write it as memoir and not fiction? A: I fell into writing a memoir by accident when I read something at a writer’s conference that I had written as a lark about how weird it is to be a Berkeley grad living as a Mormon in Utah. I decided to write the entire story as a memoir because doing so set me free from a lifetime of hiding different parts of myself from different people. I also believe that to make any experience meaningful, especially suffering, we need to use it to help others. I’m hoping that my willingness to come out of hiding will help someone else do the same. Q: What did you find to be the most difficult part of writing a memoir? A: Overcoming my fear of being judged for my past. Q: What was the easiest? A: Telling the funniest parts of the story. Q: Other than the obvious, what is the biggest difference between writing fiction and memoir?
A: In fiction, if it bombs or people don’t like your characters, you toss it and try again; in memoir, it stings. Q: In Chapter 3 of your book you state that, “Pretending takes on almost life-ordeath importance, a Stockholm syndrome allegiance to the people I depend on for survival.” As a child, how was that manifested in your home life? A: I find it interesting that children fight to stay with even the most abusive parents because that’s all they know. My parents were not abusive, merely damaged, but I knew nothing different and adapted myself to their limitations as a matter of unconscious survival. It felt disloyal and mildly shocking to realize later that they had failed as parents in a number of ways. Q: You grew up with a certain amount of dysfunction in your home. How would you describe that dysfunction? What was its impact on you? A: The dysfunction in my home arose from the same source from which I think all dysfunction arises, namely the unresolved pain of my parents. They had each passed out of childhood without experiencing close, loving relationships with their parents, and they couldn’t give me what they didn’t have. But understanding that embracing limitations is a choice, I have worked to overcome the effect of their shortfall in my life; recognizing the impact of this particular dysfunction, I in turn have chosen to work against what is comfortable and familiar to achieve close, loving relationships with my children — a work in progress. Q: As an adult, do you believe that there are any families that truly avoid dysfunction? A: I don’t see how. It’s like asking if there are any truly perfect families. I think dysfunction is a continuum and families range from low levels of dysfunction to extremely high levels. As Big Bird has been wont to say, “Nobody’s perfect.” Q: We are shaped by our experiences, and you have definitely had experiences? What are the most profound ways in which yours have shaped you? A: I can talk to anyone about anything, can see virtually any point of view. When I was a young child, I felt like I could slip inside someone else’s head and feel what they were feeling. My experiences only reinforced that sense of connection, and it has given me a great deal of compassion for others. Q: How do your husband and children feel about you exposing your life and theirs in your memoir? A: My husband is a remarkable man. I asked him once why he was willing to give me a chance when I had so much baggage, and he said, “Because I believe in the atonement.” He believes in me, also, a major reason why I have the confidence to tell my story. He’s only human, so he acknowledges that he has to take a few deep breaths as the book becomes public, but he has encouraged me harder than anyone to take this leap. See MEMOIR, page B27

The Intelligent Alternative to Liposuction with Equally Dramatic Results At La Jolla Wellness Studio we use i-LipoXcell, which is the most advanced nonsurgical, no needle, no pain, no downtime fat reduction and body shaping system on the market today. i-LipoXcell features a patented technology for instant body fat analysis and measurement, as well as laser diodes, radio-frequency and vacuum massage. The use of laser is responsible for releasing fatty acids and glycerol, causing fat cells to become smaller in size before ultimately be purged from the system. Furthermore, the application of radiofrequency triggers the metabolic activity and contributes to the firming of sagging skin so as to give it a tighter texture and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Finally, laser vacuum massage takes over in order to deliver ameliorated blood circulation, greater lymphatic drainage and deeper penetration into fat cells.

A lot of women have trouble with unwanted fat, mostly on the abdomen and thighs. Exercise seems to make them tighten everywhere else but their target/problem area. They are not necessarily interested in surgery, but would like to get rid of unwanted fat. By only emptying the cell contents rather than destroying the cell to release stored contents the ability for future storage in that area remains. In procedures where fat cells are surgically removed or destroyed, any future fat storage (from mismanaged diet and exercise lifestyle) will have to be distributed for storage in other anatomical locations, which would include around the internal organs and within the visceral cavity, one of the contributory factors to developing type II diabetes. Low-level laser therapy leaves the cells intact, eliminating this risk. At La Jolla Wellness Studio we have patented a 30-minute workout called the MyoMetrixâ&#x201E;˘ Workout that utilizes high-technology fitness equipment and delivers the equivalent of 100 minutes of weight-training for muscle tone and strength, 60 minutes of aerobic exercise for cardio conditioning and 20 minutes of stretching for limberness and flexibility ALL IN 30 MINUTES. Too good to be true? The fact is that it is not. After each i-Lipo treatment a personal trainer will take you through the workout.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MAY 21, 2015 - PAGE B9
Lost Abbey brewery now pouring at spinoff taproom in Cardiff BY KELLEY CARLSON Cardiff beer connoisseurs longing for a taproom finally have their prayers answered. The Lost Abbey opened The Confessional on April 22, at 2007 San Elijo Ave. The occasion is significant in that it marks a couple of “firsts”: It’s the brewer’s first location outside its San Marcos headquarters, and it’s also the first beer tasting room in this seaside community. “Cardiff really resonated with us,” said Adam Martinez, director of media and marketing for The Lost Abbey, and he cited the independent nature of the brewery and community as a common thread. “There weren’t a lot of craft beer options, and we wanted to be the first,” he said, indicating that the brewer was able to do so “through the awesome citizens of Cardiff. Everybody has really welcomed us.” There are 24 beers on tap, the same offerings as at the San Marcos location — convenient for those who don’t want to make the drive. All of the varieties fall under the Port Brewing Co. brand names, with nearly a dozen each from The Lost Abbey and Port Brewing, plus limited edition IPAs from The Hop Concept. Each brand has about five core brews, plus others that rotate seasonally. The most requested beer is Lost Abbey’s Devotion Ale, a hoppy Belgian blonde that is light-bodied. Its aroma has underlying notes of grassy fields and fresh hay. Other “Abbey” options are the Lost & Found Abbey Ale and Judgment Day. While Lost Abbey’s brews are often Belgian-inspired, Port Brewing leans toward the West Coast style, which has a strong emphasis on hops. These include Mongo, an American double IPA; Dawn Patrol, a dark mild English ale that’s smooth; and Board Meeting, a double brown ale that’s a delight for those who love beer and coffee. Another crowd favorite is the Wipeout American IPA. The Hop Concept is represented by Citrus & Piney, an India pale ale that’s a limited beer. It’s described as having “bold orange peel and honey aromas with a faint hint of bready malt,” along with a crisp, spicy finish. Patrons who want to sample the beers may order tasters, which range from $1.50 to $2 each. Those who are confident in their selections can buy pints, which run $5 to $6. Growlers are also available for purchase, which cost $10 to $15 for 40 ounces and $20 to $25 for 64 ounces. Only growlers with the company’s logo will be filled, Martinez said. People at the nearby San Elijo State Beach Campgrounds can take advantage of these

Among nearby restaurants are East Coast Pizza, Rimel’s Rotisserie, Zenbu Sushi and Acai Cafe, along with the Seaside Market. “We’re great neighbors,” Martinez said with a smile. The Confessional’s hours are from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. Visit lostabbey.com.

Rancho Santa Fe resident marks 90th birthday with celebration Martin and Bette Kinkade purchased a small macadamia grove in Rancho Santa Fe in 1968 at the corner of Las Planideras and Linea Del Cielo. You can see their American flags flying high on the corner of the property and at the top of the driveway. Martin, better known as Marty to his friends, retired from the Navy after serving as a pilot and naval officer around the world. He became an income tax attorney and continued to work until his death in 2008. Bette, who turned 90 on May 4, has Bette and Martin Kinkade in the mid- to late 1970s on a stayed active overseeing the seven-day Mexican cruise they won at a fundraiser for macadamia farm, in the The Country Friends. They visited Puerto Vallarta, community and as an avid Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. Courtesy photos horseplayer. You can find her at her table in the turf club nearly every day at the Del Mar Race Meet and several days a week at Surfside. At one time, the couple were horse owners and were fortunate to enjoy many trips to the winners circle. Bette has witnessed many changes in the Ranch over the years and has had many friends come and go all over the world, but she cannot imagine living anywhere else. Even when the house suffered a fire and she (at age 82) faced a ground-up rebuild, she couldn’t be persuaded to leave her home in Rancho. Bette’s daughter, Jackie Silberberg, lives in Woodland Hills with her husband, Courtney. When they are not busy with their film careers, they are often down visiting her in the Ranch. Her son Larry, who lives with her, stays busy tending to the trees and their dog, Hooper. Another son, Bruce, is a professor and the head of the Photojournalism Department at the University of Lincoln in Nebraska. Bette has two granddaughters, two grandsons, two great-granddaughters and two great-grandsons. On May 4, Jackie and Courtney hosted a dinner celebration for Bette’s 90th birthday at the lovely home of their friends Tim and Terri VanAckeren in Rancho Santa Fe. The invite list included family and many Rancho friends.

Paul Williams performs in RSF at Breast Cancer Angels benefit It was a glorious fundraising day May 9 at the private estate of Holli and Anthony Lienau when nearly 200 community members gathered to raise money for Breast Cancer Angels, an independent 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to giving direct financial and emotional assistance to women and their families as they go through breast cancer treatment. (Men too!) As guests strolled through the majestic property’s three private vineyards, they were treated to a fabulous array of wine tastings, tasty delights by Sun Dried Tomato Café and the sweet sounds of local musicians Austin Burns, Emily Drew and Israel Moldando, who each performed in various sections of the vineyards. After a blissful afternoon of good cheer and good company for a very good cause, attendees gathered at the estate’s rooftop pavilion for a private concert by the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Paul Williams. With humor and talent galore, Williams dazzled the audience with an engaging array of his stories and songs including “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “You and Me Against the World” and crowd favorite “Rainbow Connection.” For more information about Breast Cancer Angels, visit www.breastcancerangels.org.

Laughing Pony benefit raises nearly $10K Laughing Pony Rescue held its first Special Benefit Night on May 9, featuring music from Rhea Makiaris and Whitney Shea, a poker tournament, and a silent auction. Poker was part of the fun. There were two levels of poker: experienced and beginner. One of LPR’s volunteers, Jeanne Kennedy, won the beginners division, and Mike Szeyller won the experienced level overall tournament. There were 25 auction items up for grabs, including a round of golf for four at the Del Mar Grand Resort, a week at the Welk Resort, a Taylor Made Aeroburner Fairway Wood and Golf Mart gift card. More than $9,500 was raised for Laughing Pony Rescue that evening that will go to care for the horses and ponies. LPR is run entirely by volunteers. There is no paid staff. Laughing Pony Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 started in 2009 by Rancho Santa Fe resident Celia Sciacca.

Grounds for success: Lofty Coffee Wine & Roses charity tasting opens outpost in Solana Beach is June 7 at Grand Del Mar
BY KRISTINA HOUCK A popular Encinitas coffee shop has opened a branch in Solana Beach. Nearly four years after the company established its original cafĂŠ in Encinitas, Lofty Coffee Co. officially opened its Solana Beach shop May 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect location,â&#x20AC;? said general manager Meaghan Hammarsten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a need for craft coffee in this area, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to fill that slot with an organic craft coffee bar for everyone in Solana Beach.â&#x20AC;? Located in the heart of Cedros Design District, the new cafĂŠ continues the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;farm-to-cupâ&#x20AC;? philosophy, using ingredients that are sustainable, local, organic and ethical. From coffee and tea, to breakfast and lunch treats, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a true craft coffee the Solana Beach shop offers everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also available bar,â&#x20AC;? says general at the Encinitas eatery. manager Meaghan But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the coffee, Hammarsten said, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made Lofty Hammarsten of the store. Coffee Co. a local household name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our coffee is quite different from everyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do really outstanding coffee and we hold ourselves to a very high standard that most people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete with.â&#x20AC;? Last July, Lofty Coffee Co. opened a roasting facility across the street from the Encinitas site. Located on Coast Highway 101, Encinitas Roasting Works prepares coffee beans and baked goods for its Lofty Coffee cafĂŠs. Employees use an energy-efficient, high-tech Loring roaster, which has digital controls and monitoring systems that provide more control over the product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a true craft coffee bar,â&#x20AC;? Hammarsten said. Owner Eric Myers opened Lofty Coffee Co. on May 15, 2011, at The Lofts at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. Since then, the company has grown from two employees to about 40, including those recently hired at the new location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just amazing to see how quickly the business has grown,â&#x20AC;? said Hammarsten, who has been with Lofty Coffee Co. since the company was founded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the little guy, so it feels nice that people like us and support us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m endlessly proud of this business.â&#x20AC;? With a growing following throughout North County, Hammarsten said locals were lined up outside the Solana Beach location before the launch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been busy ever since, with the Kyoto-style iced coffee one of the most popular menu items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely worth the wait,â&#x20AC;? Hammarsten said. The new cafĂŠ is at 132 S. Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach. It is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Call 760-230-6747 or visit loftycoffeeco.com.

Kid-friendly car show Touch A Truck to be held May 31, event raises funds to fight childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer Kids can get the chance to climb inside some of their favorite vehicles as Touch A Truck returns to Carmel Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canyon Crest Academy. The event, which raises money to help fight childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer, will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 31. Touch A Truck San Diego started seven years ago with a vision to give kids the opportunity to sit in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seats of vehicles big and small. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event features nearly 100 race cars, hot rods, motorcycles, military, construction, off-road and emergency response vehicles. The Mercy Air Ambulance will also land and take off on the CCA athletic fields, and will be open for kids to check out while on the ground. The first Touch A Truck was held in 2009 at Canyon Crest Academy, less than a year after the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiration, Max Mikulak, died at age 7 from neuroblastoma â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a common cancer that mostly affects children under age 5. Max attended Solana Highlands Elementary, and his favorite things, besides his teacher and friends at school, were trucks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Wars,â&#x20AC;? World War II, skateboards, bugs and Legos. When his parents started the Maxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ring of Fire Childhood Cancer Foundation, to continue to pursue a cure for childhood cancers like the one that took their son, they came up with the idea of a car show for kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The owners who bring their vehicles are amazing people who love our cause, and are happy to open up their hearts and expensive machinery, knowing how much happiness they bring to the kids at the event,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Mikulak, Maxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom.
Besides vehicle displays, kids will find â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Warsâ&#x20AC;? characters, a 200-foot zipline, laser tag, face painting, food trucks, games, a stagecoach, a raffle, and local youth bands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to the support of the greater San Diego community, and Carmel Valley in particular, Touch A Truck has been an amazing success and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raised over $220,000,â&#x20AC;? said Mikulak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping to increase that total to $300K with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.â&#x20AC;? All the money raised helps support the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium. Buy tickets at www.TouchATruckSD.com or call 858-621-FIRE. Fundraising for free admission and cool prizes is also available.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Simply Sinatraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tribute brings fans to their feet REVIEW BY BIBBI CONNER The gilded, round tables were bustling with excited music lovers waiting for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sinatraâ&#x20AC;? to take the stage. Another sold-out crowd for the Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but this night was different. A variety of dinners and wines were prepared and enthusiastically served by the attendees, brought from home to their reserved tables of 10. The Fellowship Hall was transformed into the Cocoanut Grove Dinner Club for one fine evening and a nostalgic Frank Sinatra tribute show. Steve Lippia as Sinatra gave a dazzling remembrance of the hit songs that defined the legend of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Blue Eyes.â&#x20AC;? Working his way through a catalog of hits from the Big Band days to those symphonic years, Lippia was able to shine a light on the lyrics and the orchestrations. Though Sinatra recorded more than 1,500 songs, Lippia was quick to give credit for all those hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the arranger!â&#x20AC;? he said, and Sinatra had the best, Nelson Riddle, for one. But so did Steve Lippia! His arranger was an uber-accomomplished, one-armed trombone player who worked with Ray Charles for more than 17 years. This expertise shone on the stage with every song from ballads to blues. Yes, blues! We were reminded that Sinatra wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known for singing the blues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but what was one of his very biggest hits? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lifeâ&#x20AC;?! It was a favorite song of the night, especially when it brought one faithful fan to her feet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to the stage, where she waved to Lippia and sang along enthusiastically. Heads were bobbing at every table and this certainly enticed folks to get up and dance, including my father, who became her dance partner. Again, Community Concerts of RSF outdid themselves and gave us another night to remember. And thank you, Steve Lippia, for flying us to the moon (and back) by simply being â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Simply Sinatra. Season tickets for the 2015-16 season are now on sale.

Rancho Santa Fe woman’s Ohio ancestor honored at grave marking ceremony L-R: Chuck Herrnstein as James Madison; Kathleen Loftman; Joanne Murphy; Marilyn Jarvis; Sundra Peters; Katherine Colburn; Susan Leininger, Doris Gorgas, Sharon Myers
CROSSWORD Worthy Pratt gravesite showing commemorative wreath, 1812 flag and memorial marker. The Lucas Sullivant and the San Diego Chapters of the National Society United States Daughters of 1812 hosted a grave marking ceremony recently at the grave of Worthy Pratt in Darby Cemetery, Plain City, Ohio. Family, friends, and the public gathered to honor the veteran. The ceremony was conducted May 10 by members of the U.S. Daughters of 1812, including Honorary Vice President National Katherine Colburn, Corresponding Secretary National and Honorary Ohio State President Susan Leininger, Ohio State President Sundra Peters, California State President Joanne Murphy, Ohio State Chaplain Doris Gorgas, and members of the Lucas Sullivant and San Diego Chapters of USD 1812. Lucas Sullivant Chapter President Marilyn Jarvis presided. Plain City Village Mayor Sandra Adkins, Principal Kelly Hicks of the Plain City Elementary School, Plain City Historical Society President Rosemary Anderson and members of the society attended. A reception was held afterward at the Plain City Historical Society. Rancho Santa Fe resident Kathleen Loftman, the fourth great-granddaughter of Worthy Pratt, provided a brief biography of the veteran and placed a carnation wreath and an 1812 American flag at the gravesite along with the memorial marker. Pratt was born on Jan. 23, 1784, in Granville, Hampden County, Mass., the son of Phineas Pratt and Hannah Gillett. He was a descendant of Mayflower Pilgrim Degory Priest. He
married Florenna (Flora) Esther Case on Aug. 27, 1811. She was the daughter of Timothy Case and Esther Brown (the aunt of famous abolitionist John Brown). Pratt died on Aug. 11, 1853. Pratt, his family, and his wife’s family all moved by covered wagon train from Massachusetts to Ohio. He arrived in central Ohio on Nov. 20, 1805. He and members of his family were founders of Granville, Ohio, naming the new town after the town they left in Massachusetts. His grandfather, Phineas Pratt, was one of the founders of Granville, Mass., in 1754. Pratt enlisted in Capt. Grove Case’s Company, 27th Infantry, 5th Regiment, Ohio Militia, from Licking County. He served as a private from May 5-18, 1813, and was in the battle of Fort Meigs. The grave marking was held on the 202nd anniversary of his 1812 war service. In the spring of 1813, British Col. Henry Proctor, with the Indian Confederation led by Tecumseh, traveled up the Maumee River in boats to attack Fort Meigs in northern Ohio. They set up batteries near the fort and attacked in early May. American reinforcements, including the 27th Ohio Infantry, were brought in to defend the fort and were eventually successful after five days of battle. The siege was lifted and the British-Indian force retreated.

Fair Trade Décor hosting poetry event to raise funds for Nepal; submissions welcome
LEGAL NOTICES Call 858.218.7237
Fair Trade Décor, a Del Mar retail store dedicated to fair trade principles, will hold “Compassion in Action,” a poetry reading, at 7 p.m. June 20 to raise much-needed funds for immediate relief and ongoing support for the people of Nepal. The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, and a second quake that hit May 12, have devastated the country. Hundreds of thousands of people will need food, water, shelter and medication far beyond the immediate rescue and recovery period. “Compassion in Action” is an opportunity for San Diego-area poets to share their poems of compassion, unity, love and nature. Those who want to participate in the reading should submit entries at epp@fairtradedecor.com by June 1. Poems can be original or written by other authors. Submissions should match the theme of the event. All entries for this pre-arranged, themed poetry reading will be reviewed for approval. Ganesh Himal Trading Company, one of Fair Trade Décor’s many global partners who has worked exclusively with artisans in Nepal for 30 years, is soliciting donations for the relief effort. Before the quake, Ganesh Himal built a health clinic for the village of Baser, which is near the epicenter. The clinic has served a large number of remote villages in the area and eventually will be rebuilt. However, during the earthquake, the village was destroyed, and emergency relief is the highest priority at this time. At “Compassion in Action,” donations may be made directly to Conscious Connections Foundation, a registered 501(c)3, with which Ganesh Himal has worked closely. Fair Trade Décor will donate the $5 admission fee and all profits from items purchased on event night to the relief effort. All contributions and the admission fee are tax deductible and 100 percent of the funds go directly to the Nepal relief effort. The store is at 1412 Camino del Mar, Del Mar. Call 858-461-1263.

How to get Smoother, Younger Looking Hands and Arms Americans spend billions of dollars each year on anti-aging solutions, including creams and other topical products along with expensive invasive surgeries. And while much of the focus is the face and neck, one of the biggest places we show our age is in our hands. But what most people don’t
know is that there is a painless, non-invasive procedure called Sclerotherapy that can leave hands and arms looking smooth and youthful. What is Sclerotherapy? Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that involves an injection of a drug solution that causes a blood vessel to collapse. Once this vessel collapses, it can no longer hold blood and then shrinks and disappears. When hearing this explanation, many people ask: “Don’t I need those veins?” But the anatomy of the arms and hands is similar to that of the legs and feet, in that the superficial veins (the ones seen just under the skin) are not essential to the cardiovascular system. There is a rich network of deep veins that can more than
adequately do the job of carrying blood to and from the heart. When treating hand and arm veins, however, it’s important to leave at least one superficial vein for future use with intravenous medications. What are the benefits? The benefits of this treatment are many. Sclerotherapy is a relatively quick procedure that usually takes 20-30 minutes, and does not require you to go to a hospital. The procedure also does not require any anesthesia, and it is virtually painless. A compression glove or wrap is used after treatment, but otherwise, you are able to return immediately to your regular daily activities. In fact, most patients have no trouble driving themselves home. The best benefit is that after treatment, there is no
scarring, and you are left with smoother, more beautiful younger looking hands and arms. What are the risks? There are, essentially, no real risks or side effects with this procedure. Oftentimes with leg treatment, there can be a darkening of the skin. But this does not occur in the hands. There may be some mild swelling and tenderness in the treated areas, but this resolves itself quickly. If you want to further discuss what Sclerotherapy may be able to do for your hands and arms, please don’t hesitate to contact our offices at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

MEMOIR
Pacific Sotheby’s Realty celebrates success in Rancho Santa Fe • Sales volume has increased 81% over the same period from the previous year BY U-T REAL ESTATE INSIDER Realtors from Pacific Sotheby’s Realty’s three Rancho Santa Fe Offices came together to celebrate a year of incredible success. Over the past 12 months, their offices have seen a tremendous increase in sales, placing them in the number one position for residential real estate sales in Rancho Santa Fe. According to Sandicor MLS, Pacific Sotheby’s Realty’s sales volume has reached $310,778,000* over the past year, which is an 81% increase over the same period the previous year. Their sales growth has placed them at the head of the list of the top five residential real estate companies in Rancho Santa Fe. Steve Games, Partner and Chairman of the Board for Pacific Sotheby’s Realty, believes their success can be attributed to the combination of bringing together a dynamic and experienced team of Realtors and giving them access to the marketing and advertising advantages that only a company like Sotheby’s International Realty can provide. “In just a short time, we have become a market leader in Rancho Santa Fe, which is not an easy thing to accomplish,” says Games. “Our fantastic real estate agents, who have honed their skills for years by working in Rancho Santa Fe, have been paired with a globally recognized brand and the results have been truly remarkable. In this community, and around the county, our agents have found their abilities enhanced by the brand and we have found our brand enhanced by our agents.” The increase in sales and market share in the Rancho Santa Fe community is also a reflection of the growth the company is experiencing overall in the San Diego market, growth that is expected to continue throughout 2015. Pacific Sotheby’s Realty has three offices located in the Rancho Santa Fe community, two in the heart of the Village and one in the Fairbanks Ranch neighborhood.

from captain to major. “They work a lot,” said Coba. That creates extra burdens in a household, especially when the father is gone on deployment. “I had to grow up at a faster rate than other kids,” he said. An upside for him has been that “We’ve become a really tight-knit group. We’ve had to prove our commitment to each other.” Being on the foundation’s tracking radar “is one of the greatest honors I’ve experienced in 23 years of age,” said Coba. “I feel like I’m representing this great organization (Marine Corps) — this extended family. I love and am happy to represent them.” Coba is working hard to graduate with a degree in civil engineering. “I want to strengthen America’s infrastructure for the future and help out as many communities as possible.” Since 1962, 33,000 scholarships valued at nearly $90 million have been awarded to children of Marines and Navy corpsmen. “Our students are graduating at a rate more than twice the national average — in the 86
percent range. That’s a good investment,” said Davis. Investments in kids like Brown and Coba are not subject to the stock market rise and fall. Passions drive their futures. “These kids don’t know the meaning of ‘work hard,’ because they are military children. They live hard every day and so they are going on and achieving their dreams,” says Davis. “Most importantly, they are giving back to America right away. They truly are strengthening our country.” “Exceptional” is what Davis calls this rising generation that the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation helps educate. Brown considers it an honor to be a beneficiary: “I’d like to say thank you to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation for everything.” And Coba hopes one day to return the favor to other students and become a donor himself.

I asked my 19-year-old son how he feels about me exposing my life and his, and he said, “I don’t care. It’s a great story.” High praise indeed from a recent high-school graduate. He could talk my other two children off a cliff, so if it’s OK with him, it’s OK with them. Q: It is said that everyone has a story. What sets yours apart? And what do you hope readers take away from reading your book? A: Sheer volume of experience sets my story apart from most as well as its dizzying variety, each sparkle of which lives on in some fashion inside me. Tennyson says in Ulysses, “I am a part of all that I have met.” What I love about my journey is that all that I have met is part of me. I’ve moved on from people, groups, religions and ideas, but I lived them fully at the moment and bring with me the best of their essence. I hope readers take away that you can quit smoking without becoming a born-again smoker. You can disagree without becoming disagreeable. And even if you make some people mad, nothing feels better than being real. Q: What is the best advice you ever received as a writer? A: Voice is everything. Q: What advice would you share with aspiring authors? A: Have your work edited and proofed. Nothing makes a writer look worse than simple typos and grammar mistakes that could have been avoided.
