RSF Fire District to hire its own deputy chief Position was under joint contract with Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District will soon have its own deputy chief, a position it once shared with a joint contract between the cities of Encinitas, Del Mar and Solana Beach. RSF Fire Chief Tony Michel sent a notice of the district’s decision to terminate the contract for the deputy chief on March 25 and it will become effective on June 30. In response, the three coastal city managers of Del Mar, Encinitas and Solana Beach will no longer contract for the position of shift battalion chief and battalion chief training officer from Rancho Santa Fe. “There are no hard feelings at all,” said Michel, noting that the change in the contract is just a way at

making sure the needs of the district are met in the best way possible. The districts will still continue their cooperative partnership — the four agencies will continue to respond to calls jointly, go through training together, loan equipment and provide personnel at the lower ranks. “If anything, this will improve the level of service here because we’ll have a full-time deputy chief in Rancho Santa Fe,” Michel said. “This is just to make sure our organization and operations run smoothly.” Michel said the shared deputy chief contract was a way to see if the districts could save money and keep the same level of service See FIRE, page 24

BY JOE TASH The Santa Fe Irrigation District got some good news this month, as it learned that its wholesale water supplier plans to raise its prices 2.2 percent next year, as opposed to the increase of up to 12.2 percent that had been projected. The change means the district won’t face a steep hike in its own costs for supplying water to its customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, thus reducing the pressure for water rate increases. The district is currently finalizing its budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

“The budget right now doesn’t include any rate increase for either recycled water or potable (drinking) water,” district General Manager Michael Bardin told the board at its meeting on Thursday, May 16. If that situation holds, 2014 would mark the first time in at least seven years that district ratepayers won’t be greeted with a water rate increase in the new year. The district has imposed a total of 74 percent in rate increases over the past six years, including a 6 percent hike for this year. Other water agencies in San Diego County have imposed similar rate hikes.

The district’s board of directors reviewed the proposed $22.3 million operating budget for next year on Thursday. The budget is available for review on the district’s website, sfidwater. org, and will be discussed at a public hearing on June 20, when the board will considering adopting the final spending plan. The operating budget will increase by $1.2 million, mostly due to increased costs for purchasing “imported” water. Over the past two years, the district has supplied about half of its customers’ needs with loSee WATER, page 24

Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club zoning changes approved BY KAREN BILLING The Covenant modification for the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s planned purchase of the RSF Garden Club clubhouse for $2,369,250 is complete following the RSF Association board’s approval at its May 16 meeting. The modification changes the zoned use class to public and semipublic use, allowing for retail use in

the form of the RSF Garden Club’s Upscale Resale Shoppe on the north lot and public parking on the south lot. In order to complete the Covenant modification, the RSF Garden Club had to obtain the consent of two-thirds of the properties within 500 feet of the lots. The club obtained 72 percent consent from adjacent properties for the north lot and 71

percent consent from properties for the south lot. Additionally, the RSF Association completed an advisory vote of the Covenant membership, which garnered 85 percent approval of the Association’s purchase of the clubhouse. If all goes as planned, the purchase of the RSF Garden Club by the RSF Association should be final around June 30.

Filner, Romney discuss cross-border Olympics plan

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and part-time local resident Mitt Romney at City Hall on May 6. COURTESY

BY PAT SHERMAN Mayor Bob Filner met with former Governor Mitt Romney at City Hall May 6 to discuss the City of San Diego’s Olympic bid for the 2024 Summer Games. Mayor Filner announced last month that San Diego and Tijuana would submit a bi-national bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The mayor invited Romney to his office last week to ask if the former Republican presidential candidate and Massachusetts gov-

ernor would lend his advice to the effort, to which Romney said yes. The Mayor and Romney discussed the challenges of a bi-national Olympic bid, as well as the experience Romney gained working as the president and CEO of the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics, the most recent games that were held in the United States.

First all-girls Rancho Santa Fe Little League team a hit BY KAREN BILLING The first all-girls Rancho Santa Fe Little League team is holding its own in the rookie division. Named the Angels, the girls are currently in fourth place with their eyes on the playoffs. Last year many of the Angels girls made up the first all-girls Tball team in the league, distinguishing themselves with a sunflower affixed to their caps. This year, moving up to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big boys leagueâ&#x20AC;? of machine pitch, they have no such feminine touch and, according to Coach Jason Stafford, are not phased in the slightest to be the only pony-tailed players on the field. The team of 8-year-old second graders includes Jewell Perry, Veronika Stafford, Ava Wehlage, Ashley Bediakian, KT McVeigh, Tara Trabucco, Danni Dehaven, Stella Mikolajewski, Sydney Lee, Lucy Loretta and McKara Sweeney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing really well,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Stafford, noting they had ranked third out of seven teams until last week when they dropped a couple of games and settled into fourth place. A highlight of the year was handing the number one team in their division, the Yankees, their first lost. Until the Yanks met the Angels, they were undefeated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first win is always the

sweetest because we lost the first couple of games but then we went on a five-game winning streak, starting with beating that number one undefeated team,â&#x20AC;? Stafford said. Stafford said the girls are very engaged in the game, they get excited to learn theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re winning and they always ask how many outs there are in an inning, just in case it has changed since the last game. Skill-wise, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all added tools to their Angelic arsenals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls are very competitive, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been awesome to watch them grow,â&#x20AC;? Stafford said. Moving from hitting a ball off a tee to taking 38-mile per-hour pitches from a machine is a big change, but the girls have adapted well. Stafford prepped the girls for the step up by putting them through â&#x20AC;&#x153;spring trainingâ&#x20AC;? batting practices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great because they all have progressed so much in fielding, hitting and just their confidence,â&#x20AC;? Stafford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty awesome to see the growth in their confidence and self esteem.â&#x20AC;? Stafford said he has really enjoyed coaching the girls this year and will relish the last three regular season match-ups next week. The Angels will get one last crack at the first place Yankees on May 30. PHOTOS/JON CLARK

Scripps Proton Therapy Center doctor helping bring cancer treatment to ‘next level’ BY JOE TASH Dr. Huan Giap’s path from his native Vietnam to his current job of treating cancer patients with radiation therapy in San Diego took many twists and turns. As a teenager, Giap was among a group of Vietnamese “boat people” who landed in Thailand, where he spent a year in a refugee camp. Inspired by an American priest he met at the camp, Giap emigrated to the U.S. at age 18, intending to study for the priesthood, but instead earning a master’s degree in nuclear engineering at Texas A&M University. Giap then decided to go back to school, earning both a medical degree and a doctorate in a special joint program at the University of Texas Health Science Center. At 50, the Rancho Santa Fe resident is about to embark on the next chapter of his career, as a member of the medical staff of a new proton therapy center under construction in the Carroll Canyon area of Mira Mesa, which will be operated by Scripps Health. Giap joins the center as chief of breast, gastrointestinal and lung proton beam therapy. The $220 million center is slated to open at the end of this summer, following three years of construction. When completed, the facility will have the capacity to treat 2,400 patients per year. While he has enjoyed all of his various endeavors over the past three decades, which have in-

apy actually dates back to the 1940s, and initially, very small numbers of patients were treated in physics labs. Today, there are about 12 operating proton therapy facilities in the U.S., with about six more under construction, Rossi said. The new Scripps center will be the second in California and the third west of the Rockies. In the past, proton therapy has been used for pediatric cancer, as well as prostate and lung cancer and brain tumors, Giap said. It’s increasingly being used for breast cancer, and tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, he said. Proton therapy is most beneficial for localized tumors, as opposed to cancers that are widespread in the body. “Proton therapy is a piece of the puzzle, bringing cancer treatment to the next level,” he said. “It’s exciting for San Diego County. I’m so happy to be a part of it,” Giap said. Giap and his wife, Anna, moved to Rancho Santa Fe about 10 years ago. Their two children, Fantine, 20, and Bosco, 19, attended R. Roger Rowe School. Both are now in college, and plan to follow their father into the field of radiation oncology, Giap said. Rossi, who worked with Giap at Loma Linda, said the new center is fortunate to have doctors such as Giap on staff. “He was the most brilliant person we had come through in the 20 years I was at Loma Linda,” Rossi said of his colleague.

Randy Beecher celebrating 20th anniversary as the ‘piano man’ at Mille Fleurs BY DIANE Y. WELCH From Thursday through Saturday evenings Rancho Santa Fe’s genteel, award-winning Mille Fleurs on Paseo Delicias transforms into a hopping venue where regular patrons not only come to dine but to sing, dance and hear Randy Beecher play piano. Beecher, the restaurant’s official piano man, has become as much an attraction as its five-star French California cuisine and on May 23 – to the day – he celebrates his 20-year anniversary of playing piano at Mille Fleurs. Creating a “vibe” that is reminiscent of “Cheers,” Beecher knows the regular clients by name, and knows their favorite songs, said Mille Fleurs owner Bertrand Hug. “He truly cares about the customers,” he said. “And he’s an elegant guy who has been very loyal.” Because of this client rapport Beecher has created a family of faithful followers, regular fans who not only come to hear him play at Mille Fleurs but who also follow him on facebook, making comments and posting photographs. This popularity is in part due to Beecher’s ability to “read the room” and tailor his repertoire to fit the mood of a dynamic clientele. “I never arrive with a song list in mind,” said Beecher. If clients are younger and more energetic then contemporary hits are played; if they are more relaxed, then jazz may fit the mood; and for the more reserved clients enjoying a quiet evening, classical favorites may be more appropriate. And this often changes as the evening progresses as clients arrive to round-off their night’s entertainment. A vast repertoire of hundreds of songs was honed over decades of playing venues county-wide. For five years Beecher played five nights a week at the Mexican Village in Coronado, and played weekends for about four years at the Mercedes Room at the Bahia, and other local piano bars. Beecher started piano lessons at the age of 10, then began playing in garage bands with school friends. His professional gigs started just after he graduated from Grossmont High School. A native San Diegan, Beecher is also a graduate of San Diego State University with both a bachelor’s and

Pianist Randy Beecher Courtesy photo master’s degree in music. He currently teaches music at Mesa and Grossmont community colleges. With a diverse musical line-up, Beecher recreates current hits along with the early classics of George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, and of modern composers such as Andrew Lloyd Weber and Marvin Hamlisch. He has performed publicly or privately for numerous international and local celebrities, including President Gerald and Betty Ford, and Bill Gates. His fateful relationship with Hug began when Beecher was playing happy hour at Kelly’s in the Town and Country Hotel. During his break a customer approached him. “It turns out he was the pianist at Mille Fleurs, and asked me if I had heard of it. I said, ‘I really hadn’t,’” recalled Beecher. “He was looking for a stand-in and was impressed by my playing.” A week before Beecher was supposed to substitute for

that pianist he called Beecher to say there had been a change of plan. “He had given in his notice and said that if I was interested in his job I should audition,” said Beecher. The day after his audition Hug hired Beecher and the rest is history. “When I initially got this job, I had played just about every dive and four-star hotel in San Diego. But I soon began to see that Mille Fleurs is a very unique place,” recalled Beecher. “Everything about it — the location, Bertrand, the clientele — is special. I remember thinking 20 years ago, I’ve got to hang on to this. I saw this as one of the best working music gigs in Southern California. I still feel that way today.” Over the years, Randy has been named “Best of the Best Piano Bar Entertainer” three times by San Diego Magazine. The 20-year anniversary celebration will span May 23, 24 and 25. “I guarantee there will be a lot of people partying at Mille Fleurs this whole weekend,” said Hug.

Education Matters/Opinion

Snafus with AP Spanish test create a perfect storm BY MARSHA SUTTON Taking grueling Adv a n c e d Placement exams is never a walk in the park. But when a Marsha Sutton convergence of disasters hits, even the most well-prepared student can be reduced to tears. Proctors as well. That is exactly what happened this year during the AP Spanish language exam held May 7 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. These AP tests in general – four hours of testing with a 10-minute break – are torturous enough. But the mastermind who developed the AP Spanish language exam in particular wins the prize for excessive cruelty. According to Mike Grove, executive director of curriculum and assessment for the San Dieguito Union High School District, the Spanish test is unique “because of the way it’s structured.” “Every single year we have issues with it. It is notoriously the most difficult test,” Grove said at a meeting at Canyon Crest Academy May 16. About 20 distraught students and parents and one teacher came to hear how the district would explain the mishaps that plunged many students into despair over their testing experience. The complicating factor this year was the venue, he said, citing exterior intrusive noise from fairgrounds construction equipment and poor sound quality due to inadequate rented audio equipment and bad acoustics in the exhibit hall where the test was administered. He apologized profusely, called the venue inappropriate, and said, “We take responsibility for that.”

Because districts are not allowed to open the actual audio test material, San Dieguito had to test the sound using other methods that proved insufficient. In addition, there were “technical glitches,” he said. The timer broke, then the backup timer broke. Trains whistled by, the hall echoed, students’ recorders were faulty at times, students past the first few rows could not hear the audio, construction equipment beeped loudly at exactly the wrong moments, and other unforeseen disruptions created what Elloise Bennett called a perfect storm. Bennett, the AP coordinator for SDUHSD, said the Spanish test is the most difficult of all the AP tests to administer, even in the best of times. The test has several portions that depend on careful listening skills – multiple choice, essay, conversational dialogue and a presentation. All audio is in Spanish, as are the responses. For the multiple choice section, students listen to a recording to answer onequarter to one-third of the questions. And instead of reading a passage, they hear a passage. The essay portion has students listening to the audio and then responding in writing. For the conversational portion, students listen and then record their responses as dialogue goes back and forth. The other listening piece provides some written instructions, pictures and audio, and then students are allowed five to six minutes to plan a presentation and organize a small speech that then gets recorded. The description left me speechless. We do this kind of thing to 16- and 17-yearolds? “It’s brutal,” Bennett

agreed. But it gets worse. The functionality of the equipment becomes a critical factor. “We have to provide equipment that meets College Board standards,” she said. Students are provided by the district with individual recording devices and speak into a microphone when told. They may have only a minute to speak. At various times, they are instructed to press buttons – play, record, pause, stop. Often they don’t know if they’ve recorded or not, Bennett said, until the end when they do a check. “Often kids press the wrong button or their recording doesn’t record, so they have to re-record before they can be released,” Bennett said. A 30-minute time can easily extend to one hour for re-recording. That’s exactly what happened on testing day because kids pressed the wrong buttons, the instructions didn’t match the equipment, or the recorders inexplicably failed. And there were those who couldn’t hear due to outside noise, inside echoes, the faulty sound system, or all the other Murphy’s Law disasters that befell the Bing Crosby Hall that day. Students can re-test After learning of the mess, Bennett contacted College Board that day and according to Grove submitted her report “in incredible detail.” The purpose, he said, was to ask College Board to allow students to re-test. “We want to allow you the opportunity to do that test again,” he said to students. Bennett said the good news is that College Board has authorized re-testing, and soon. That’s also the bad news for students who

Retirement party to be held June 5 for Rancho Santa Fe teacher Harriet Joslyn The community is invited to help celebrate the retirement of longtime R. Roger Rowe teacher Harriet Joslyn, currently a fourth grade teacher, on Wednesday, June 5. The party will begin at 5 p.m. in the school’s Performing Arts Center. Joslyn is retiring after a 30-year career in education and 20 years at Rowe. Hired by Dr. R. Roger Rowe himself, Joslyn taught every grade from first through sixth at the school. She spent nine years teaching fifth grade, her favorite because of the emphasis on American history — she helped develop the school’s annual Colonial Fair. Joslyn also played a big role in the drama department, directing two to three plays a year with Maureen Cassarino.

Work of RSF Fine Art Photographer Christine Finkelson selected for SD Fair 2013 Juried Photography Exhibition The San Diego County Fair recently announced Rancho Santa Fe artist Christine Finkelson has been chosen to be in its 2013 Juried Photography Exhibition. The Fair will be held June 8-July 4 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The jurors selected all eight of Finkelson’s entries. The artwork consists of four photographs in the Digital Photography Division, Hobart #1, #4, #5 and #18, and four iPhonorgrapy photographic collages in the Cell Phone Photo Division, Carbon Scare, New Moon, A Prophet’s Dream and She Who Knows the Secret, which were created with the iPhone camera and multiple iPhone apps. The art works, Carbon Scare and New Moon, are also featured in a new book, “Mobile Digital Art: Using the iPad and iPhone as Creative Tools” by David Leibowitz, published by Focal Press. Finkelson moved from New York City to San Diego over a year ago. Before leaving for California she had a solo show of her photographic work, Hidden Messages, at The New Art Center in Manhattan. She has recently been accepted into the San Diego Museum of Arts Artist Guild and is serving on its board as the Artists Liaison. In January 2013, Finkelson was

RSF School Ocean Weeks offer students unique opportunities to learn about marine life Rancho Santa Fe’s Roger Rowe School kicked off the 21st annual Ocean Weeks on Monday, May 20, with teacher Maureen Cassarino’s 8th grade student adaptation of the Graeme Base book, Sign of the Seahorse. This kick-off assembly launched a two-week exploration of ocean habitats, along with presentations from local researchers, fishermen, environmentalists, and aquarium specialists. Students will dissect squid, design inquiry projects with live crayfish, clean up oil spills, write manatee-inspired poetry, and explore sands from around the world. This year parents are spearheading school decorations with ocean themes, including the hanging of a model baby great white shark made entirely of chicken wire and paper mache, designed and constructed by the Chang Family. Entry areas to the Performing Arts Center will be festooned with ocean scenes, including an open ocean complete with a giant squid, created by Lisa and James Russeth, and a rocky seashore, home to a moray eel, created by parent Christine Cole. Many classes will participate in a door-decorating contest featuring marine habitats, creative representation of student’s ocean studies, and best use of recycled materials. This year’s ocean theme Open House will take place on Wednesday, May 29, from 5:30 – 7 p.m., and will highlight art teacher Marika Fagan’s student art show, a demonstration of 8th grade science teacher Dave Warner, student-constructed underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV’s), and a host of grade level tables highlighting student habitat studies.

She is one of 60 high school juniors chosen nationwide to take part in the two-week program held at the Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The camp is a scholarship program available nationally to artistically gifted high school juniors in public and private schools. It is designed as an art institute offering an intensive visual art studio program that allows each student to gain a stronger foundation of skills and understanding in the visual arts through experiencing college-level drawing and painting Meagan Wu classes in a natural setting. Notable artists-in-residence serve as the primary instructors. Trips are planned to draw, paint, and hike in the mountains at the Colorado College Baca campus.

Meagan has been serious about studying and producing works of art since preschool, while simultaneously growing as an exceptional musician on the cello. Besides her music awards, she has won multiple art awards including the National Youth Art Competition, California State PTA, San Diego County Fair Youth Art Show, California Region of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and has had her artwork displayed in the San Diego Art Institute Museum of the Living Artist for three years. Meagan’s artwork consists of work she created in her AP Drawing class, free time, and Envision Visual Arts (EVA) Conservatory program at Canyon Crest Academy under the guidance of Jessica Matthes, who says, “Meagan has been one of our star students in EVA day classes and in Conservatory. She has an extremely high level of skill and creativity and especially excels at painting. I have been lucky enough to have Meagan in several of my classes and she always goes above and beyond in every project.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF School students enjoy special field trip to Osuna Adobe BY KAREN BILLING R. Roger Rowe thirdgraders received a hands-on history lesson recently, taking a field trip the Osuna Adobe on May 14 and making their own adobe bricks. The students didn’t have to travel far to see a piece of California history, a complement to what they are learning in the classroom. The field trip of about 70 students is just the kind of community involvement the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Osuna Committee has been hoping for as part of its mission is to “create a vibrant community resource for current and future generations.” The RSF Association received help for the field trip’s brick-making from Mark Sauer Construction, the same crew that made the necessary repairs to the adobe structure last summer. Troy Parry, from Sauer Construction, told the students that since there was no wood to build a shelter when the adobe was first built in the 1800s, people had to use materials that were available, such as mud and straw. Those people discovered that when mixed together and used as bricks to build a home, the adobe

material acted as a natural insulation — it stayed cool in the warmer months and in the winter, the bricks held in the heat. Crew workers chopped up slices of hay using a machete and mixed it with clay to create the adobe mixture. Sauer then picked a student to demonstrate how to take the clay and put it into the brick form — he advised slapping the clay down and the student happily obliged. “This is awesome!”; “Once you get used to it, it feels cool” ; and “I love this” students remarked as they dug into the tray of adobe with their bare hands. The children were able to mark their bricks with handprints, initials, hearts and other designs and, once they dried fully, the bricks would be returned to the school as keepsakes from their field trip. Once completing their bricks, many kids enjoyed just sticking their hands into the clay tray and sinking up to their elbows. “This is the best field trip ever,” said a third-grader named Lily. While one group of students busied themselves with clay, the RSF Association’s Senior Planner Kirk

Dakan led the other group of students on a tour of the adobe, sharing stories about what it was like for the residents, the Osuna family, through the 1800s. R. Roger Rowe teacher Terrie Bacon was “instrumental” in scheduling the trip and getting the students out on the ranch, said Stacy Lackey of the RSF Association’s Osuna Committee. Lackey said it was very exciting for the committee to have the children be involved on the property in this way. “We’ll be doing it every year,” Lackey said of the field trip. The Amigos de Osuna, the fundraising arm of the Osuna Committee, continues to raise funds to be able to complete its adobe restoration plans. A donor-advised charitable fund has been established for the group at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. To learn more about how to contribute, visit rsffoundation.org

High demand and tight inventory are driving up San Diego County’s home prices and sales. For the first time in five years the median price of a single family detached home in San Diego County hit $450,000, the highest median price since mid-2008, the North San Diego County Association of REALTORS® recently reported. Countywide median price of an existing, singlefamily detached home increased 3.45 percent to 450,000 in April compared to March’s $435,000, signaling the first time since February 2008 that the countywide median price has reached the $450,000 mark. April’s price was up 23.29 percent from $365,000 recorded in April 2012, marking eight consecutive months of year-over double digit gains. The median is the middle priced home sold; half the homes sold for more than the median, and half sold for less. •Low inventory and market competition significantly decreased the time a home spent on the market compared with a year ago. Homes sold faster in April 2013, with the median number of days it took to sell a single-family home decreasing to 24.9 days in April, down from 26.6 days

in March, and down from 47.4 days in April 2012. •SFD listings (active and contingent) in San Diego County decreased 1.54 percent from March 2013 to April 2013 and decreased 38.48 percent year-over from April 2012. •The supply of homes for sale in San Diego County was down from a year ago. The April unsold inventory for existing, single-family detached homes was 3.1 months in April, down from 3.3 months in March, and down from 4.8 months in April 2012. •The percentage of households that could afford a median-priced home in San Diego County was 38 percent in April 2013, down from 40 percent in March. Affordability percentages assume homeowners place 20 percent down and spend no more than a third of their income on housing- an amount earned by 38 percent of county households for the median priced home. •Mortgage rates decreased in April, with the 30-year fixed-mortgage interest rate averaging 3.45 percent, down from 3.57 percent in March 2013 and down from 3.91 percent in April 2012, according to Freddie Mac. Adjustablemortgage interest rates remained unchanged from March, averaging 2.63 percent in April, but down from 2.78 percent in April 2012. — Submitted by the North San Diego County Association of REALTORS®

Frontline: Cancer

San Diego leads the charge to make cancer medicine better

BY SCOTT M. LIPPMAN Recently, Time magazine emblazoned its cover with the headline “How to Cure Cancer” and suggested, perhaps a bit too breathlessly, that major breakthroughs were just around the corner. There is reason for optimism. Now is a time of truly unprecedented scientific innovation and clinical revolution in cancer research and therapy. We understand the nature of cancer better than ever; we have more tools and tricks. But progress still comes too slowly for the almost 600,000 Americans who will die this year from cancer. Cancer is the nation’s second leading cause of death (after heart disease), but No. 1 in the San Diego region. There is little time to celebrate our incomplete success. Cancer demands the full talents and resources of scientists and physicians everywhere, preferably working together. This has long been the mantra in San Diego, home to the second largest cluster of biotech companies in the U.S., and upon the research mesa here in La Jolla. Our communal sense of purpose and collaboration has been strengthened by a recent strategic alliance to advance cancer medicine. In March 2013, the three National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers in La Jolla joined to create the novel San Diego NCI Cancer Centers Council, or C3, designed to more effectively leverage our distinct and combined strengths. Two C3 centers are the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the SanfordBurnham Medical Research Institute, two of only seven NCI-designated basic science cancer centers nationwide. The third is UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, the region’s only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center and the clinical hub

Dr. Scott Lippman for exciting C3 interactions. These centers, through C3 and independently, collaborate with exceptional cancer researchers at other major institutes on the mesa such as the J Craig Venter Institute, The Scripps Research Institute, and the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology. C3 allows us to broaden and deepen our respective and collective abilities. There will be greater interaction between the cancer centers, from bench to bedside. Doctors and scientists will share access to areas like bioinformatics, genomics and clinical trials. Both science and patients will benefit from major thrusts of C3 scientists, including precisely applied cancer therapy. The landscape of cancer and its care is changing rapidly. Genomic research has unraveled many underlying abnormalities that drive cancer. Hard experience has shown that there is no onesize-fits-all therapy. Fortunately, we now have powerful ways to sequence the DNA in, and identify specific aberrations that caused, a particular patient’s cancer. Many drugs now available can specifically target the genomic drivers in tumors. These drugs often can kill tumor cells, which harbor the drug’s target, with minimal damage to healthy organs, where the target is absent. This makes for effective drugs with few side effects.

Still, the drugs must be given to the “right” patients, which happens only after we use the most advanced genomic sequencing technologies to understand each patient’s tumor. This is precision or personalized cancer medicine. Top scientists and investigators, such as Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., are working within C3 to bring personalized therapy to cancer patients now, not five or ten years from now. Her research has shown that molecular profiling and personalized, targeted therapy benefited about 50 percent of patients with advanced cancer – only about 5 percent of these patients would be expected to benefit from conventional therapy. She is now developing the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy at the Moores Cancer Center, where C3 investigators and industry partners in San Diego will bring the personalized products of their collaborative research to patients in the clinic. In the months ahead, I will describe these efforts and the challenges we face as scientists, doctors, citizens and patients. I will talk about the cancer picture, from the marvelous curative possibilities of stem cells to the realities of palliative care. We may never “cure” cancer – no matter what magazine covers declare – but it is becoming increasingly possible to disrobe the “emperor of all maladies,” to strip away cancer’s clever defenses and reduce it to near invisibility. That would be something to see. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care will appear in this newspaper once a month. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ ucsd.edu.

Torrey Pines Football announces the 20th Annual Jr Falcons Football Camp Torrey Pines Head Football Coach Scott Ashby recently announced the 20th annual Jr Falcons Football Camp from June 17 to June 19 for all interested young men from the ages of 6 to 12. The camp philosophy is simple – youth football players learn more when they are having fun being taught by coaches who know who to teach youth, understand how it feels to play football, and have a love of the game. The camp staff is comprised of current coaches, current players, and former players of the TPHS Falcon Football Program. In an effort to give back to the community, they will teach your child the skills and tactics it takes to learn, enjoy and succeed at football. Each day the camp will begin at 8 a.m. with warm-ups and stretching and then progress into position specific instruction and drills and finish with age specific scrimmages. Your young football player will have a summer experience to remember. Additional details are posted on the Torrey Pines Football website: tphsfootball.com.

A RSF Mail Delivery Solutions Inc. delivery vehicle. Courtesy photo ward mail to those who live in the community just part of the year. “Customers say it pays for itself,” he added. “Do the math.” They deliver anything the U.S. Post Office receives – “a little of everything … that’s legal,” Briant said. Occasionally the package has a life of its own, such as the ones delivered to a client who gets baby chicks shipped to the house. “We can hear them chirping in the box.” Sometimes they do a bit more than deliver mail. One day, Briant said, an employee saw a horse loose in Ramblas de las Flores. Noticing that a nearby stable gate was open, she herded the wayward horse back in with her PT Cruiser and informed the relieved homeowner. A Temecula resident who was raised as an Army “brat,” he spent much of his childhood in his mother’s native France and part of it on the East Coast before the family settled in California. Briant, 41, is an early riser. He leaves home by 6 a.m. and arrives at his company’s Encinitas office before the traffic gets crazy to get his crew going. Today, he said, he doesn’t do much of the driving, instead spending most of his time running the business. It could only work in Rancho Santa Fe, he noted, since all of the other communities around have regular postal system carriers. About 300 residents, businesses and institutions in the Covenant, Cielo, the Bridges and Del Mar Country Club choose to use RSF Mail Solutions services, he said. “We work alongside the post office,” he added, noting that he gets a lot of support from RSF Postmaster Yolonda DuBose. And, he said, he couldn’t do it without his loyal customers. Contact Gary Briant at Mail Delivery Solutions Inc., 2146 Encinitas Blvd., Encinitas 92024.

BY KATHY DAY Before Gary Briant started RSF Mail Delivery Solutions Inc., he drove around Rancho Santa Fe for eight years as a courier for FedEx, often seeing the long lines at the post office. He said he began to wonder whether all those people queued up in the lobby or looking for parking spots would like to have their mail delivered to their front door. More than 10 years ago, the wondering turned to investigating the possibilities – talking to some of the regulars along the route he had run for eight years and “picking the brains of successful business people in Rancho Santa Fe.” He said they told him to “listen to your customers and customize the business to their needs.” Today, some of those people are still regulars; it’s just that now they get their U.S. Mail personally carried to them by Briant’s staff. In October 2002 he incorporated and in 2003 he delivered his first mail in Rancho Santa Fe. With his clients’ permission and their box keys, he – and now his staff of four drivers – pick up mail either twice a week or every weekday and make their way around the Ranch in PT Cruisers. He also offers a two-week free trial “and most people keep going,” he said. The fee varies, starting at $45 for service on Tuesdays and Fridays, and so do the services. They also pick up and hold mail while people are on vacation or for-

Local teachers receive Crystal Apple Awards The Del Mar Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held its 19th annual Crystal Apple Awards ceremony on May 15 where 10 local school teachers and San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Ken Noah also received an award. R. Roger Rowe teacher Kelly Stine was among those honored. Teachers are honored annually by students who attend public high schools and are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Teachers are nominated by LDS students who attend “seminary” (Bible study) at 6 a.m. every day prior to going to their high school classes. Nominated teachers exemplify dedication to quality teaching and who uphold and encourage students’ moral values and high ethical standards. Drew Page, member of the Del Mar Stake Presidency and Crystal Apple Awards committee, welcomed those in attendance and shared heartfelt comments submitted by LDS students along with their nominations. For those comments, see this article at www.delmartimes.net (Schools category or use Crystal Apple Awards in search file to bring article up). • The winner from R. Roger Rowe School is Kelly Stine. Her students say: “My teacher is wonderful because she pushes her students to excel in life. You can tell she loves her job because she always brings a smile to a kids face. She loves to share stories and bring laughter to everyone that walks through the door. She brings crazy stories from her life and ties it into her lesson. And when memorization comes in, she brings wacky scenarios so each kid can remember how proteins are made. Sometimes when I’m in other classes I use her techniques to memorize things. Mrs. Stein’s crazy skills help me become a more strong and knowledgeable student that I am today. Thank you Mrs. Stine for carving a path to greatness.” • The winner from Earl Warren Middle School is Cathy Shope. • The winner from Canyon Crest Academy is Rayna Stohl. • The winner from Torrey Pines High School is Scott Chodorow.

Crystal Apple Award winners: Left to right back row: Scott Huntley, Scott Chodorow (TPHS), Tony Pavlovich, Cindy Honselaar (Carmel Valley Middle School), John DeGuilio, Left to right front row: Maura Leonard, Ken Noah (SDUHSD superintendent), Kelly Stine (R.

SPANISH continued from page 5 studied and prepared for this perverse test for months – actually years, considering that it’s foreign language. Now it’s not over and the stress level gets extended. The new test has been scheduled for either May 29 or 30 (students will be notified which date), and there are no make-up exams. Students can choose whether to re-test, but only one exam will be scored. If students choose not re-test and submit their May 7 exam, Bennett said it will be scored with an incident report attached. The grader would then have a record of what happened that day to understand the context and take that into consideration. That means the grader has flexibility and won’t score the tests on a national curve, “but will individualize the test,” Bennett said. This will be a different test but not a harder one, Grove said, because College Board has multiple versions of the test. “The benefit is you now know how it goes,” he said to the CCA students. “Students did not have

WATER continued from page 1 cal water from Lake Hodges. But a dry winter means the district will only be able to pull about 30 percent of its water from the lake this year — and possibly as little as 15 percent — meaning that it will have to purchase more expensive water from the San Diego County Water Authority, its wholesale water supplier. “We’ve had an extremely dry winter this year,” said Jeanne Deaver, administrative services manager. The amount of available local water during the new fiscal year will also depend on next winter’s rainfall totals, she said. Rather than raise rates to cover the cost of buying more imported water, the district plans to use $1 million from its rate stabilization reserve fund, according to the draft budget. On Thursday, the board also considered the district’s proposed $7.6 million capital improvement budget, which includes such projects as replacing pressure reducing stations, pumping stations and pipelines. One project on the list, purchasing new financial software to replace software originally installed in 1992, at a cost of $450,000, drew opposition from at least one

the opportunity to showcase what they know,” Bennett said, calling the re-test a “great opportunity for students.” She said she was on the phone immediately with College Board to explain the extenuating circumstances and argue her case. What helped tremendously, she said, were all the “heartfelt” emails from students filled with tears and frustration that she shared with College Board. That, plus the large number of San Dieguito students who sat for the test – 238, triple what most districts have. That got their attention, she said. Torrey Pines issues Of the 238 San Dieguito students who sat for the AP Spanish test May 7, about half were from the northern portion of the district and half from the south. In the north, the students from La Costa Canyon High School and San Dieguito Academy tested at La Costa Canyon where there was classroom space. The students from the south, at Torrey Pines High School and CCA, were tested at the Fairgrounds. About 80 students from TPHS and 40 from CCA gathered together in Bing Crosby Hall, for the first time.

board member. Director John Ingalls said that unless the item is removed from the budget, he will vote against the spending plan next month. Rather than purchasing its own software, Ingalls said, the district should be looking at ways to share such software with neighboring water districts, or outsourcing to reduce costs. Deaver said the software in question is used for human resources, utility billing, customer service and other functions. However, Ingalls said that if the district installs its own individual software, that could acts at a “stumbling block” in the future if the district seeks to consolidate some or all of its functions with other neighboring water agencies. The question of consolidation came up earlier in the meeting when Brian Brady, general manager of the Fallbrook and Rainbow water agencies, gave a presentation about his agencies’ experience with consolidation. The two agencies recently formed a joint powers authority that shares many administrative functions, a move Brady said is saving about $500,000 in the first year, and will save $1 million annually by year three, primarily by reducing the number of employees.

In previous years, TPHS students tested on campus in their high quality language lab. “It’s like what you get at a college campus and is a completely different environment [than the Fairgrounds],” Bennett said. She said it is “lovingly cared for” and would run about $45,000 to install at another school. The night before the CCA meeting, Bennett and Grove met with AP Spanish language students, parents and teachers from Torrey Pines to cover the same issues. But because of the school’s stellar language lab, the TPHS students were reportedly more forceful in expressing their dismay. “You test best in the environment that you learned in,” Bennett said, sympathizing with the TP students and saying the school’s lab is where they have practiced and are comfortable. In contrast, Canyon Crest has no computer lab for foreign language and doesn’t have space that is free from outside noise disruptions, she said. So CCA kids have tested for AP Spanish language at other locations including the Fairgrounds but in smaller rooms. “Canyon Crest kids are used to testing wherever, but Torrey kids are used to doing

Director Greg Gruzdowich, who was elected last year, campaigned on a promise to push for a consolidation with neighboring water agencies. Gruzdowich said Thursday he shares Ingalls’ concerns, but that the board doesn’t have to decide immediately whether it will purchase its own software. Instead, he said, the money can be kept in the current budget, and the board will revisit the issue when staff comes forward with a formal proposal to buy and install the new software. The board also will have to consider whether its wants to push for full or partial consolidation with its neighboring agencies, Gruzdowich said. General Manager Bardin spoke against removing the software upgrade from the budget. “We’re getting down to tools that staff needs to do their job,” Bardin said. “We’re budgeting to be the best water district we can be.” The district is not making its budget decisions based on how they will affect potential future consolidations, he said. “For us that’s not at the top of the list of what we’re doing.” Ingalls was the only board member to call for removing the software project from next year’s budget, and no vote was taken in the issue.

the written in classrooms and going to the recording room for the recording,” Bennett said. The reason this year the TP and CCA students were combined at the Fairgrounds was primarily a proctor issue. Because the exam requires well-trained proctors who have experience administering the notoriously difficult test, this year’s shortage forced the district to test the TP and CCA students together. “My biggest concern is I want strong proctors there,” Bennett said. “It’s an exam with a lot of detail and oversight to prepare for.” The district has rented buildings at the Fairgrounds for AP testing for 10 years, Bennett said, and it’s generally been fine. Also, the large halls provide adequate space to meet the requirement that the foreign language students, for security reasons, must be seated at least eight feet apart, she said. Taking students off-campus is better for AP testing because teachers and classes don’t need to be moved or interrupted and there are no noisy campus distractions like bells, loudspeakers and outside commotion. Usually. High stakes tests This year Bennett administered more than 7,000 exams and arranged for locations,

OLYMPICS continued from page 1 “He was very gracious,” Filner said of Romney during a May 9 media roundtable event at City Hall. “He’s already let us know who we should be talking to at all the right places. He’s got, obviously, a wealth of information.” Late last month the U.S. Olympic Committee said international rules don’t allow two countries to propose a joint Olympic event. According to Sports Illustrated, Scott Blackmun, the USOC’s chief executive, said the committee was talking to 10 cities about a possible bid, including San Diego-Tijuana. He said the committee hadn’t looked carefully at the cross-border proposal but that it would “have its challenges.” (To read more, click here.) Though a bi-national Olympics is a new concept, during last week’s media event Filner assured, “there’s ways to deal with the existing rules. “We would like to change the rules,” he said. “I

proctors, equipment and materials that are intended to minimize disruption and stress and maximize student performance and focus. Nevertheless, every year students of Spanish tests have recording problems and technical difficulties, she said. Teachers too were upset. “They invested along with their kids,” she said. “It’s like a team losing on a technicality. “The students not only want to show what they know for college but want to show their teachers how hard their work has paid off.” For the re-test, the TPHS and CCA students will test on familiar territory. TP students will be in the labs and classrooms as in previous years, which will mean displacing at least three teachers for part of the day. But at CCA, ensuring optimal audio conditions makes finding a suitable location more challenging. “We’re looking at a couple of spaces,” Bennett said, noting that the library echoes and the gym has too much activity. The cost to rent the Fairgrounds for the two weeks of AP exams was about $11,000 this year, Bennett said, commenting that the price will go up significantly next year. Whether AP Spanish language is tested next year at the

Fairgrounds is to be decided, she said. Much depends on proctor availability and the number of students taking the AP classes, which helps determine about how many will sign up for the AP test. The district may split up TP and CCA students again, she said, depending on the numbers. “We have to book for the greatest number possible based on their enrollment in their classes,” she said. In addition, there are native Spanish-speaking students who take the test. The cost of AP exams this year, set by College Board, was $89, but the price is discounted for low-income students. The district charged an additional $16 per test to cover costs, although Bennett said the Spanish exam “has never ever broken even.” Bennett said she was touched by the many emails from students eloquently describing their frustration over the experience. She said she was particularly moved by those who thanked her for her support and her time to rectify the problem. “This is important high stakes stuff,” she said, sympathetically. “We try to do our very best. Hopefully the re-test will go as smooth as silk.” Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

think the hallmark of the Olympics is international cooperation. What could be more a statement of international cooperation than two countries doing this together, so I’m hopeful that we have time to deal with the International Olympic Committee and their rules and by-laws.” Filner said he has spoken with contacts provided by Romney about “the realities” of hosting the Olympics, “how much money you need and the infrastructure — and I don’t think it’s beyond our capability or our aspirations.” Filner said Romney offered a few “reality checks,” but also a sense that his binational proposal is feasible. “This is not beyond our ability at least to compete,” Filner said. “One of our cities could be the basic bidder with venues being held in the other city.” Filner said a proposed, downtown sports complex where the San Diego Chargers would be based might also be a place where Olympic events are held. “We have some venues (but) we’ll have to build

other venues, so that’s a kind of (reality) check — and it’s going to be a long process,” he said. “We would have to figure out as two cities, what are our assets, not just in infrastructure, but in culture, in environment? How can we help each other multiply those assets?” Filner said he believes the bi-national Olympics could also help garner federal support for reconfiguration and revitalization of the border that would make international trade easier. “We are the biggest binational metropolitan area in the world, and we don’t talk about it or stress it or take advantage of it enough as a city,” he said, adding that as much as 35 to 40 percent of San Diegans have roots in Mexico. “The border is a cul de sac in California, instead of being … a center of culture, of energy, of dynamism. … People pay incredible amounts of money to go on cruises and to go traveling to get that binational experience. Here we have it, and yet we haven’t taken advantage of it.”

up having to do things four different ways for the four different agencies. Additionally, Michel said RSF needed to make sure they had people in place internally for future needs. “This was not an easy decision for the fire district to make, however, this decision is based on the fire dis-

trict’s succession needs for the future,” Michel said. “We want to make sure the district is ready and prepared to fill spots in the future.” Michel said testing will begin this month to find RSF’s new deputy chief; four out of its five battalion chiefs will be testing for the position.

From an American Idol celebrity performance to an Academy Award-winning star’s luncheon auction item, the history-making evening will outshine even the finest from years past. Celebrating a quarter century of philanthropy and benefiting the Center’s programs for animals and people in-need, the star-studded evening is scheduled for Saturday, June 1, from 5:30 p.m. to midnight at Fairbanks Village Plaza in Rancho Santa Fe. Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Spring Fling Gala is always a special treat with an evening opener of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction before a 5-star dining experience of taste-portioned classic and innovative dishes from over twenty top San Diego restaurants (including such fine-dining favorites as Pacifica Del Mar, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, The Melting Pot, Burlap and Piatti, to name a few). The delectable dinner concludes with the announcement of “Best Restaurant,” selected by an impressive list of celebrity culinary judges.

The 19-year-old, goldenhaired, golden-voiced singer/songwriter and San Diego native performs locally and regionally, while working towards her college degree, and is putting the finishing touches on her latest single set to release this summer. Taking time out of her busy schedule to generously support the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center highlights the huge heart behind all of Krause’s heartfelt lyrics. “When she came to the Center for a photo shoot, Kristi was amazing with the orphan puppies,” explained Animal Care Supervisor Amy Barnes. “You could see her genuine devotion to helping homeless pets. We are really grateful and a little star-struck too.” After the entertainment, the evening continues to glitter as the “live” auction begins. The Gala committee is delighted to announce the addition of some sterling prize packages including a Park Avenue Penthouse Getaway (5 days in a four bedroom private residence with panoramic views of Central Park in exclusive Manhattan); and a two hour private lunch with the Oscar Award-Winning film icon, and animal welfare advocate Diane Keaton, for the winner and five of their friends. Tickets to the 25th Annual Spring Fling Gala are still available (but going fast!) and can be purchased in Silver, Gold and Platinum levels (ranging from $250 - $500 a ticket) with various special amenities included at each level. To purchase tickets contact Melissa Alvarado at 858-756-4117 x 350 or click onto www.animalcenter.org/events/Fling.

RSF Women’s Fund grants $250K to nonprofits

ast Wednesday night, May 15, was an evening of celebration for members of the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund as $250,000 in 2013 Grant Funds were awarded by the organization to six local nonprofits that address significant community needs. Kathi and Mike Mallick graciously hosted the event at their Rancho Santa Fe home. Grants were awarded to the following six organizations (alphabetically): 1) Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, 2) Cancer Angels of San Diego, 3) San Diego County Medical Society Foundation, 4) Scripps Health Foundation / Scripps Encinitas Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, 5) Vista Community Clinic, and 6) Voices for Children. Most of the six nonprofits received the full amount of their grant requests, up to a maximum of $50,000. Each year, members of the RSF Women’s Fund champion two focus areas of need in the community. This year the group’s giving focus was centered on “Social Services,” as well as “Health and Research.” More than 160 Letters of Interest were received from local nonprofit organizations vying for an opportunity to submit a formal grant proposal request. The vetting process takes nine months. During this time, the RSFWF Grant Committee of volunteers reviews the intent letters individually. The women then select those that are anticipated to have the most impact in the community and invite 20 of these organizations to submit a grant proposal. When the formal proposals are received, the Grant Committee analyzes the organization’s infrastructure and financials, and finally visits the nonprofit organizations’ sites. The RSF Women’s Fund members, currently consisting of over 120 local women, then vote on which organizations will receive the grant funds. RSF Women’s Fund Organization: Advisory Chair: Victoria Hanlon; Grants Committee Chair: Kate Williams; Grants Committee Work Group Leaders: Jinda Schatz/Catherine Hopf; Site Visit Coordinator: Diane Murphy; Grants Committee Financial Advisors: Sue Sanderson/ Candise Holmlund; Grants Committee Workgroups: 30-plus dedicated RSFWF members. Membership in the RSF Women’s Fund is open to RSF women interested in philanthropy. Contact Nancy Hashim at womensfund@rsffoundation.org PHOTOS/MCKENZIE IMAGES

Members of the Canyon Crest Music Composition Club pose for a group picture.

Pioneering Canyon Crest Academy musical club produces CD

BY ROB LEDONNE Alvin Liang has been interested in music his entire life. A junior at Canyon Crest Academy who grew up in the North County, Liang first learned to play piano about 11 years ago: “When I reached high school, I took a music composition class and realized all you could do with the technology (concerning putting together music).” Alvin was so smitten by composition and music production that he and his friend Ozan Berlinguette decided to start up the CCA Composition Club earlier this year devoted to those disciplines. “We try to create an environment that makes people easily create compositions and have access to really great software whenever they want,” Alvin said. Alvin credits Canyon Crest Academy with pioneering the idea of classes devoted to composition and wanted to build on that. “A lot of people know Canyon Crest as a unique and creative school,” Alvin said. “However, many don’t know that we’re the first school in the United States to have a Digital Composition class, a Recording Arts class, and a Digital and Audio Production and Performance class. The latter of which was new this year.” The club, which meets one day a week and runs the gamut of students between freshmen and seniors, focuses on a variety of genres; members are free to choose their own style of music to work on. Most work on electronic or EDM (tracks that could be played in a club), but others, such as Josh Masters, focus on jazz. Alvin likes to compose scores that could be used for video games or film, a hobby that is linked to his interest in classical music: “I found a person on YouTube who was creating his own video game and needed a score. I submitted and he chose me, so my interest has grown from there.” Even though the club is in its first year, it’s already launched a variety of successful projects, including a music festival called CCAchella (a play on Canyon Crest and Coachella, the well-known music festival held in Indio) which, according to Alvin, “turned out to be a big success. Over 300 people came, and everyone had a lot of fun.” In addition, the club recently produced a full CD, “The First Byte,” on sale for students that features a variety of tracks members have been working on throughout the year. Said Alvin, “We’ve been selling it in the cafeteria and from what I hear, it seems like everyone is enjoying it. Some people have commented on specific tracks they think are good, which is awesome.” The club is advised by teacher Vikas Srivastava, an alumnus of Harvard and UCSD, who naturally happens to teach the music classes at the school as well. “He’s very knowledgeable, and several of us owe our basic knowledge to him,” said Alvin. “He’s very flexible with our projects and has a teaching style based on the belief of trying things out and experimenting. If we ever need advice, he’s always there to help us.” Alvin, who said he’s planning on pursuing music after he graduates, is looking forward to his second and final year heading the club. “After I leave, I would definitely want this club to keep going. In this modern era, audio technology is becoming more and more accessible, and we at Canyon Crest have an advantage over other people with what we have access to.” To listen to some of the club’s music, visit youtube.com/user/ccacompositionclub

Mainly Mozart’s All-Star Festival Orchestra returns to RSF

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Lovers of classical music are in for a treat this summer as the Mainly Mozart Festival brings the best that live music has to offer to countywide venues and beyond. Mainly Mozart historically has had strong ties to Rancho Santa Fe, said Nancy Bojanic, executive director and co-founder. “We’ve been doing chamber music in the Ranch for over eight years.” And with the success of last year’s premier All-Star Festival Orchestra performance at the Village Church Sanctuary it returns this summer and is poised to become an annual event. “We’re thrilled to have this increased commitment to Rancho Santa Fe,” Bojanic said. The Mainly Mozart AllStar Festival Orchestra Opening Night and Amadeus Gala Concert at the Village Church is scheduled for Saturday, June 8, at 6:30 p.m. (reception and auction at 5 p.m.). Maestro David Atherton, a co-founder, is the conductor. The principal players

The Mainly Mozart Festival is now the largest summer classical music festival in Southern California. “And we are very proud that each of the five series — really festivals within the festival — have their own artistic leadership,” said Bojanic. Alongside the All-Star Festival Orchestra, Anne-Marie McDermott curates the Spotlight Chamber Music; Ken Mullen leads Mozart in the Mind; Donald Thomas leads Chamber Players; and Stephen Prutsman, a composer/pianist from San Francisco, leads Evolution. On June 21 a onenight-only event will be held at the estate of Valenti International in Rancho Santa Fe. This more intimate concert — with a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception —will present Evolution vocalist Bella Stevens with The DeClassified ensemble. The original arrangements of Stephen Prutsman will be featured and the program of “World Dances and Musical Movements” will be showcased.

Roy’s in La Jolla reinvents its fusion fare BY KELLEY CARLSON oy’s in La Jolla has said aloha to its Hawaiian image. To broaden its horizons, it has rebranded itself as Roy Yamaguchi’s Pacific Rim Cuisine. While the interior has undergone some renovations, the majority of the classic dishes remain. “We started to feel like we were pigeonholing ourselves,” Brian Lee, managing partner, said. “There was a perception that we (only) focused on Hawaiian cuisine.” The establishment still retains some elements of the island culture, evidenced by details like tiki torches outside the building. But now there are new features, such as glowing red and blue elements that represent the fire and ice of the Pacific Rim’s volcanoes and glaciers. Improvements were made to the physical space, as well. The bar has been quadrupled in size and can accommodate more people who want to watch games on the two flatscreen TVs or take advantage of the daily Aloha Hour specials. It also provides additional room for guests to socialize while listening to the sounds of recording artists such as Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews and Jason Mraz playing in the background. The bar and lounge is the ideal place to sip on “The Original” Hawaiian Martini, featuring Maui pineapples drenched in SKYY Vodka, Malibu Coconut Rum and

■ This week’s recipe: Roy’s Seared Sea Scallops Stoli Vanil Vodka; or a Roy’s Island Mai Tai floated with Cruzan Black Strap. Then it’s time to head into the dining room for a taste of Roy’s classic dishes. There are still a number of entrees on the menu that can be described as “Hawaiian fusion” and are available at all of Roy’s 22 locations, but the La Jolla site incorporates additional cooking styles and ingredients into its offerings. The emphasis is on fresh, sustainable seafood that is upscale with bold, Asian flavors, and includes Korean, Thai, Filipino and California influences. Dining family-style is highly encouraged and it’s easy to do with the appetizers.

Patrons watch a sporting event in the expanded bar at Roy’s. There’s the Lakanilau sushi roll (named for one of Roy’s first female sushi chefs, Catherine “Cat” Lacanilao), which brings together traditional Japanese ingredients such as Wagyu beef, snow crab, tempura asparagus, avocado, sesame miso and truffled greens. Another choice: Crab Dim Sum dumplings that are filled with Madras curry, carrot and ginger puree. For meals on the lighter side, patrons can select from “Green” offerings such as the Crab and Green Papaya Salad with crispy garlic, cucumber and a chili-citrus vinaigrette.

Another item of note is the flaky and moist Seared Snapper with kabocha squash gnocchi, Chanterelle mushrooms and opal basil, to be enjoyed with a glass of sauvignon blanc.

Outdoor summer Shakespeare Festival returns to Globe with three classics BY DIANA SAENGER Summer at the Old Globe is one of the most demanding yet dynamic times of the year for both the theatergoers and the creative artists behind the productions. In addition to the plays in the Old Globe and the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatres, comes the 2013 Shakespeare Festival performed under the stars in repertory at the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, June 2–Sept. 29. This year will be the last under festival artistic director Adrian Noble, who has been at the helm since 2010. Jay Whittaker, who has appeared off Broadway and in many Shakespearean productions, and who received the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Craig Noel Award, will return to the festival in several roles. He said he enjoys Shakespeare because the characters can be played in many different ways. “You can never proclaim the death of Shakespeare because there’s always something new to discover,” he said. “I just played Angelo in ‘Measure for Measure’ and the character was 100 percent different than when I played him eight years ago. That’s due to a different director and actors, but mostly because as we age, we begin to see things in a different way because we have more life experience.” Whittaker will play Oberon and Theseus in the comedy, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” directed by Ian Talbot, and Guildenstern in the farce, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,” directed by Noble. “Oberon is the loose and connected-tothe-Earth King of the Fairies. Theseus is the posh and uptight King of Athens. The two characters complement each other in that they both come in trying to control their women in a misogynistic way. Ian (the director) seems to be adding some contrast to the story with some darker and more tragic elements.” Whittaker describes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as “two characters who play in ‘Hamlet,’ and what happens to them when they’re not on stage.” The playwright, Tom Stoppard, puts them in this ‘Waiting for Godot’ existential no-man’s land where they’re trying to figure out why they’re there and

Then they get thrust into a theme from ‘Hamlet.’ It’s very quick and very witty.” Rounding out the festival will be the timeless tale of mercy, justice, generosity and greed, “The Merchant of Venice,” also directed by Noble. According to co-workers, Noble leaves a wealth of exemplary work and a vast legacy to be remembered and embraced at the Old Globe. “He brought in a style of show and created a company he trained to do his very specific style — and he did it in repertory with all three shows happening at the same time,” Whittaker said. “They all had continuity at the same time because it was the same cast as well.”

Earl Warren Band to hold Spring Concerts Under the direction of Brett McCarty, the Earl Warren Middle School Band (in photos above) recently announced a schedule of four dates for its spring performances. Upcoming performances include a joint concert with Diegueno Middle School at La Costa Canyon High School on June 3 at 6:30 p.m. The band’s other three performances are at Earl Warren in conjunction with student body events, including: Student Awards Night on May 29 at 5:30 p.m., ArtsFest on June 6 at 6 p.m., and Promotion on June 14 at 10 a.m. Early arrival is recommended as all events have open seating. Recently, the band mixed work with play on its April 26 festival trip to Cypress College.

Chadwick Village Stafﬁng provides ‘exclusive estate stafﬁng’ for a wide variety of needs BY CATHERINE KOLONKO Finding a chef who can meet a family’s dietary needs or prepare fine cuisine for a special social event is one of many services offered by Chadwick Village Staffing, located in Rancho Santa Fe. “We have staffed over the years just about every large, important estate throughout Rancho Santa Fe and most of North County,” said Kevin Bass, who owns the home staffing agency that has served the community since 1962. The longstanding presence in the community means that much of the generated business is from repeat clients or word of mouth. The company typically handles 20 to 25 job orders at any given time. “We place housekeepers, estate managers, chefs, personal assistants, domestic couples, housemen, butlers, cooks, drivers, nannies, and we also have a home care di-

vision where we do private duty homecare,” Bass said. Bass and his business partners purchased Chadwick about a decade ago and also operate similar businesses in Palm Springs and elsewhere in Southern California. That allows them to cross referral if ever there is difficulty finding just the right person for the job in any given community, he said. “We do everything from part-time to full-time to live-in to live-out, just depending on what the family and the household needs are,” Bass said. Housekeeper is the one position that most people continue to request even during economic slumps, said Bass. Personal assistants, cooks, nannies and drivers are also in demand. “We can do everything from the kitchen to the laundry to the household needs to the drivers, includ-

Because Chadwick is a placement referral agency, it can conduct extensive background checks on potential candidates to get an idea of their personalities and abilities, which helps determine if they will work well in a

particular home. The company also thoroughly reviews the needs of each client. “We take a really good amount of time to try to match the right personalities,” Bass said. That involves gleaning important information from clients about individual and family needs and lifestyle. Whether the home is formal or informal or both parents work outside the home can make a difference when identifying the right person or people for a job. “If somebody calls up and says I need a housekeeper five days a week, that’s easy for us,” Bass said. “What sets us apart from any other agency is that we dive much deeper. “We do all of our due diligence. We check their references we check their background we go through an extensive interview process once they are in our

When Mrs. Smith calls and asks for a housekeeper that speaks Dutch and is between 30 and 40 years old and can do a little bit of cooking, then we find that right person for Mrs. Smith.” The company welcomes challenging assignments with the confidence of an experienced business and staff. Bass recalled working with one client who requested a Spanish-speaking chef,

nanny and two kitchen workers. She needed to fly them from California to Spain to open a restaurant there, work there for six months and then return to California. “There were multiple staff members and we were able to staff it and she is very pleased,” Bass said. Chadwick charges a fee based on a sliding scale depending on job descriptions and the salary of the person being hired, said Bass, typically 100 to 150 percent of a month’s salary. The fee schedule for short-term placement is slightly higher. Bass oversees the operations at Chadwick while Kathryn Anderson coordinates the contacts, searches and interviews with clients and candidates.

HUNT SLONEM with his first solo exhibition in San Diego:

“BUTTERFLIES & REBIRTH” Sublimely decorative yet deeply spiritual, Hunt Slonem’s work is filled with light and color, with exotic birds, animals, saints, and Hollywood stars. His art celebrates the glory of life while underlining the threats that our civilization poses to the natural world. Slonem’s canvases emphasize an aesthetic of ocular activity; the viewer’s eye is set in almost constant motion, flicking about to take in the entire rectangle. The butterflies themselves come into focus as his central subject only after the few seconds it takes to apprehend the whole painting. They are rarely in sharp focus; their shapes are somewhat misted and often repeated, so as to create a pattern which itself must be uncoded. Again, this all happens in only a few seconds, before the creatures can be given individuation and appreciated as belonging to a distinct species. In all of Slonem’s work, after one has studied it for a time, there is seriousness about painting. The various devices that divide the space, render it shallow, thus keeping the work coherent in its own terms, adds up to a consistent investigation of post- cubist abstraction. By varying the moods and techniques of his work in fresh and exciting ways, Hunt Slonem creates a beautiful work that continually gives joy and surprise.

Hunt Slonem was born in Kittery, Maine in 1951. His fascination with exotica imprinted during his childhood in Hawaii and experience as a foreign exchange student in Managua, Nicaragua. Since 1977, Slonem has had over 250 solo exhibitions at prestigious galleries. Museums both domestic and international have collected his work, among them The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Slonem lives and works in New York City in his legendary loft which houses an aviary for his 70 exotic birds. The studio is a work of art itself, a lush and sensuous environment, ﬁlled with not only birds and plants, but also a collection of Baroque and Neo-Gothic furniture, Blenko glass and brilliantly hued rooms that house a dazzling array of paintings in period frames. He also owns a Victorian mansion in Hudson, New York and two plantation homes in Louisiana.

Upcoming RSF Senior Center events: Maximizing Your Memory; Diane Welch Celebrity Walking Tour BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Maximizing Your Memory According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the brain is the most complex part of the human body. This three-pound organ is the seat of intelligence, interpreter of the senses, initiator of body movement, and controller of behavior. The brain is the source of all the qualities that define our humanity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the crown jewel of the human body. Scientists and philosophers have been fascinated by the brain but, until recently, viewed it as nearly incomprehensible. However, the ability to study the brain and understand brain functioning has accelerated dramatically in the last 10 Terrie Litwin years due to the development of new research techniques. So what is the best advice doctors can offer to maintain a healthy brain? The answer, according to Dr. Yaakov Stern of Columbia University, is to build up what is known as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cognitive reserve.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Stern states that cognitive reserve is not something you are born with, but rather something that changes and can be modified over time. In fact, there is now enough research backing this theory that the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association is offering classes around the country to teach people just how to do it. California psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Edgerly, who leads the program, explains that brain scans show when people use their brains in unusual ways, more blood flows into different neural regions and new connections form, helping to build a cognitive reserve. This may reduce your risk of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or other dementias or may delay the onset of obvious symptoms. Please join us at the Senior Center on Friday, May 31, at 2 p.m. for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Brain Game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Understanding Mental Fitness,â&#x20AC;? presented by Beverly Sanborn, LCSW, vice president of Program Development, with Belmont Village Senior Living. Beverly has more than two decades of experience as a gerontologist. She specializes in translating research findings into usable enrichment programs for older adults. She is a nationally recognized and sought after memory care expert and speaker. At this interactive seminar, you will learn what you can do to maintain your mental fitness at any age. Seating is limited; please call to register (858) 7563041. Diane Welch Celebrity Walking Tour Stride out in a heart-healthy, one-hour stroll through the village of Rancho Santa Fe and join the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diane Welch Celebrity Walking Tourâ&#x20AC;? which will be offered by demand on Sunday afternoons at 1:45 p.m. Organized in partnership with The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, these tours also benefit the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center. Diane Welch is a feature journalist, an award-winning author, and a recent recipient of the People in Preservation Award from Save Our Heritage Organization because of her work on Lilian J. Rice, celebrity architect of Rancho Santa Fe. The cost is $40 per person, with a discount for groups of 10 or more. Refreshments are provided in the Croquet Cottage at The Inn.

Registration beginning for Royal Dance Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming dance year The American Dream is still alive and kicking. The Royal Dance Academy (RDA) in Carmel Valley is proof of this. Opportunity, courage and hard work (and a little bit of Lady Luck) have been key ingredients for the Royal Dance dream to come to life. After moving from England to San Diego in 2001 with her young family, owner Francine Garton has nurtured RDA through the last 12 years and is still expanding this thriving dance studio. Offering all disciplines of dance, acting and musical theatre, RDA has over 100 different classes for children of all ages and levels. Garton, who trained as a dancer and teacher in London, England, is Royal Academy trained and brings a unique level of training and expertise to her studio in Carmel Valley. Royal Academy of Dance Ballet syllabus is offered as well as end-of-year examinations, along with competition teams and LAMDA Acting classes and exams. RDA also offers an extensive schedule for younger and recreational dancers. Boasting four state-of-the-art dance studios in a newly designed space, RDA has continued to evolve into a thriving â&#x20AC;&#x153;second homeâ&#x20AC;? for many young dancers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great way to know that your child is in a caring, nurturing environment,â&#x20AC;? says Garton about the atmosphere she has worked hard to create at RDA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the dancers spend many hours in our studio, dancing and socializing with friends in between classes. I am very proud to be able to present this safe and vibrant environment for these young dancers to thrive. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their second home,â&#x20AC;? Garton said. RDA is located in its new facility at the Piazza Carmel in Carmel Valley, next to Ace Hardware (3810 Valley Centre Dr, San Diego, CA 92130).

Hildy Johnson gets story and guy in Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;His Girl Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY DIANA SAENGER The 1940s was a time when women often needed to work and had to make a choice between home and career. It made for the perfect conflict in the newsroom, too. Jenn Lyon (Broadwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shipwreck,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Salvageâ&#x20AC;?) takes on the role of Hildy, a hard-core newswoman who will stop at nothing to get the story in â&#x20AC;&#x153;His Girl Friday,â&#x20AC;? opening the 2013/2014 Season at the La Jolla Playhouse on May 28. Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley directs the production, adapted by John Guare (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Six Degrees of Separationâ&#x20AC;?) from the Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur play, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Front Page,â&#x20AC;? and the Columbia Picturesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; film, â&#x20AC;&#x153;His Girl Friday,â&#x20AC;? starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hildy is such a dynamite role and a dream role for any actress,â&#x20AC;? Lyon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be the smartest and toughest one in the room, the most compassionate, and do physical comedy and wear a fantastic hat, what more could you ask for?â&#x20AC;? Lyon said she appreciates how Guare blended the work of two playwrights with that of the screenwriter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful working hybrid of what worked in

A major story is brewing in a 1939 Chicago pressroom when ace reporter Hildy Johnson (Jenn Lyon) stops by for one last visit before leaving the newspaper game for good. But when her former editor and ex-husband entices her with the promise of the scoop that could break the story, the lure of fame and rekindled romance prove more than she can resist. COURTESY both the play and film,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set in the eve of W.W. II, which brings in Hitler and Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early isolationist stance. It reflects how it all ties into standing up for the little guy because we (America) were not involved in the war yet.â&#x20AC;? One of the charms of all the productions was the rapid-fire dia-

logue between the leads. Lyon had halfway.

‘Hats Off to San Diego’ luncheon

he Gold Diggers of San Diego held the 20th Anniversary “Hats Off to San Diego” luncheon and Betty Mabee Hat Parade on May 16 at the Del Mar Country Club. The theme for 2013 was “Light Up The World Through Giving,” and the hats designed by the 11 local nonprofit competing charities all expressed this theme in a creative way that illuminates the mission of each organization. This year’s major beneficiaries are License to Freedom, which promotes nonviolence and serves refugee and immigrant women and children, and a Transitional Storage Center for the homeless, organized by the Girls Think Tank. Both will receive grants of $5,000 from the Gold Diggers in honor of the 20th Anniversary of Hats Off. For photos online, visit www. rsfreview.com. PHOTOS/JON CLARK
