Water district to reach out to potential merger partners BY JOE TASH Santa Fe Irrigation District directors are open to the idea of merging with an adjacent water district to save money, but the question is whether their neighbors share that interest. Directors discussed consolidation at a workshop meeting on Thursday, Sept. 12. Following their discussion, they formed an ad hoc committee of two board members, charged with contacting two neighboring water agencies to determine their interest in further exploration of consolidation. “Without an interested party to talk to us and pursue those [issues] the discussion won’t go any further,” said SFID board president Michael Hogan after Thursday’s meeting. Hogan and director John Ingalls will seek meetings with their counterparts at the San Dieguito Water District and the Olivenhain Municipal Water District, and then report back to the full board within 60 days. Santa Fe provides water to residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. Interest in consolidation has increased in recent years as residential water bills have climbed sharply, due to increased costs of imported water and other factors. The Santa Fe board, working with an outside facilitator, listed both pros and cons of consolidation. On the plus side were cost efficiencies, healthier finances, better rates for customers and new services that could be offered. Under “challenges,” the board listed risk of a failed merger, savings that don’t materialize as planned, and loss of local control over reSee WATER, page 20

Record number of R. Roger Rowe School students earn perfect scores on STAR tests BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney honored 48 students on Sept. 12 who achieved perfect scores on their STAR tests, the highest number of perfect scores in one year that the district has ever had. “It’s pretty hard to be perfect,” Delaney told the students. “Sometimes you work really hard and don’t get perfect but on this day you tried your best and [the results were perfect].” Three students achieved perfect scores in both their English language arts (ELA) and math STAR tests: Corey Lochan, Seraphine Bustillos and Malcolm McDonough, who also scored perfect on the math test for the second year in a row. Students received certificates and shook hands with the school board members. Board members Tyler Seltzer and Todd Frank were especially proud of two of the perfect score students: Seltzer’s third grade son Luke and Frank’s fourth grade daughter Danielle. Students who achieved a perfect score of 600 on their ELA STAR tests included: Joseph Dlugos and Luke Seltzer. Perfect in the math STAR: Betsy Haas, Natalie Licosati, Harry O’Shea, Addison Flanagan, Sophia Fox, Danielle Frank, Logan Johnson, Jacob Malter, Alexandra Nicholas, Natalie Nicholas, Pierce Rosenblatt (three years in a row in math), David Scuba, Javeed Shapouri, Henry Sidwell, Lily Smith, JT Young, Dax Kay (three years in a row in math), Zachary Kindel, Kelly Slosar, Katherine Arnold, Rocco Cappetta, Conrad Delgado, Weston Dlugos, Andrew Douglass, Benjamin Fitzpatrick, Ella Fox, Hannah Loly (two years in a row in math), Lucas Luwa, David Maldonado (two years in a row in math), Ella Rosenblatt, Shannon Buss, Ryan Curcio, Gabrielle Nguyen, Natalie Slosar (three years in a row in math), Jackson Tuck and Natalie Shugert.

RSF School District’s API score highest in county BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe School District has earned the highest district Academic Performance Index (API) in San Diego County in a year in which 82 percent of San Diego school districts saw drops in their API results. For 2012-13, RSF had a district-wide API of 957 which, although it represents a three point drop, places the district ahead of neighboring Del Mar Union School District’s API of 954 and Solana Beach School District’s 936. The RSF Elementary School’s API dropped six points, coming off a 13-point growth in 2011-12. The RSF Middle School, however, had its highest API ever with a 957 in a year where 60 percent of the top 10 middle schools in the county saw decreases. “Overall, STAR test results went down and we were no exception,” said Superintendent Lindy Delaney at the board’s Sept. 12 meeting. “Although we never like to see scores drop, we think we’ve done a good job dissecting what went wrong in the areas that dropped…the scores are a good measurement tool to help our students be stronger educational learners. There are things to celebrate, but we weren’t immune to the dip.” Assistant Superintendent Cindy Schaub said that possible reasons for the decline are that districts are beginning the transition to Common Core State Standards, as well as dealing with budgetary issues that fortunately RSF has been See SCORE, page 20
RSF Foundation announces The Patriots Initiative •’A revolutionary, innovative way to support America’s 21st century, all-volunteer military service members’

Buzz: Life in the Covenant — Happy Trails!
BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD D i d you know that the first Ann Boon thing developers of new planned communities today put into their design for the community is a trail system? Statistics show that trails attract exercise enthusiasts as well as those who simply enjoy a leisurely walk outdoors. Young and old, it seems, we are all drawn to trails — young parents with babies in strollers, dog walkers, runners and, of course, equestrians. We are very lucky that the early residents of the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe had the foresight to lay out the foundations of our fabulous trail system. Today, we have over 50 miles of trails that run throughout The Covenant. And it “takes a village” to maintain our trails. Any day of the week you can see a crew working on some part
of the trails. Our Director of Field Operations sends crews to rebuild trails that have been washed out by winter rains, to clean up fallen branches, to trim overgrown brush, and to spread fresh mulch. Over the years, our Trails Committee (now known as the Trails and Recreation Committee,) teamed with the Association staff, has done an extraordinary job of gaining easements for our trails through private property, of building new trails and of keeping our existing trails clean and safe. All Covenant residents have easy access to our trails. Equestrians have many access points whether they are riding from the Rancho Riding Club, the Osuna Ranch or the countless private horse properties that define our landscape. The vistas and experiences on the trails are as varied as the people who use them. Certainly one of the most popular routes is the trail around our beautiful RSF Golf Course. On a late summer afternoon you can watch the shadows fall across the fairways as you catch a bit of
ocean breeze. Many on horseback enjoy wandering down through the canyon of the Ewing Preserve, enjoying nature in almost total solitude. Lots of us run or ride alongside the reservoir with Paint Mountain as the backdrop. There we glimpse egrets fishing and listen to the wind rustling through the reeds. I could go on and on, but if you are a regular trail user, you probably have your own favorite paths and experiences. Would you like to become more involved in the care and nurturing of our trails? The Trails and Recreation Committee will be looking for new members whose three-year term begins in January 2014. We are all custodians as well as beneficiaries of our trails, recreation areas and treasured open spaces. If you run, walk, ride or just want to preserve our trails for future generations, you would make a great member of our committee. Call the Association office at 858-756-1174 or email me at ann.boon@ me.com for more information.
RSF School District may try to pass 2014 bond for gym improvements BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said that the district is starting to look seriously at renovating the school gym and is exploring the possibility of going out for a bond in 2014. At its Sept. 12 meeting, the board approved a facilities need assessment from Webb Cleff Architecture and Engineering not to exceed $7,500. The firm will give a presentation about its proposals for the gym improvements at the board’s Oct. 3 meeting. Delaney said there are possibilities for a bond in the June or November elections of 2014. They would need 55 percent of the vote from the community for the bond to pass.

UC San Diego chancellor addresses high education costs at LJ Rotary lunch BY PAT SHERMAN UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla delivered some sobering statistics during a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of La Jolla: the annual cost for a UCSD student living on campus is about $40,000. Meanwhile, the median income for a family of four in the United States is just $45,000. “That is really a problem facing American higher education right now,” Khosla said, noting that as the cost of education continues to soar, “the number of people who cannot afford it without taking out too much in loans is going down.” Though education costs are rising faster than inflation, Khosla said the real culprit is the decline of the American middle class. While research institutes such as UCSD were evolving over the past five decades — initially spurred by the need for more lab research during World War II —the country and economy benefited from their contributions tremendously, Khosla said. “When we were busy generating all this wealth to make everybody’s life better,
Rotary Club of La Jolla President-Elect Russell King introduces UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla as guest speaker at the Cuvier Club. the best thing was that this wealth was distributed reasonably evenly,” he said. “That means the middle class was growing in this country.” Fast forward to 2010 and beyond. “The wealth is not being distributed evenly and there is a bigger divide now between the rich and the poor,” Khosla said, adding that the smaller the middle class, the closer the U.S. moves toward becoming a third-world country. “It’s going to take decades,” Khosla said, “but I think we are on that trajectory — and I think the American public university has an obligation to make sure that we don’t go down that path. … “That means that I have to focus a lot on raising money for scholarships and making sure that this education is accessible and affordable to one and all — the rich, the middle class and the poor, and that is not a simple challenge.” Role of a public university Though UCSD remains a public university, Khosla said
many schools in the UC system are increasingly regarded as private institutions, “for all intents and purposes.” UCSD’s revenues are about $3.6 billion per year. However, it only receives $250 million from the state to educate nearly 30,000 students and pay some 15,000 employees. “People tell me, ‘Only 6 percent of your budget comes from the state; why are you (considered) a public university?’” Khosla said. However, he said being labeled a public university is not only about how much money UCSD receives from the state, but “what it perceives its mission to be.” To that end, Khosla said UCSD is focused on ways to better serve the public, and increase access to higher education. “If you look at our student body, we don’t have enough Latinos and we don’t have enough African Americans,” he said. “I’m not saying there has to be a 1-to-1 (ratio), but there has to be a critical mass so that every student, when he or she attends UC San Diego feels like they belong — they see the role models … they see a community out there of similar thinkers and similar backgrounds.” To boost access to higher education in the region, Khosla and UCSD have taken three schools from disadvantaged areas under their wing, providing free tuition to students who apply and meet admission guidelines (part of UCSD’s participation in the Achieve UC program). So far, 45 first-generation college students have been admitted from these schools, Khosla said. “For me, as chancellor, one of my biggest challenges is to make sure that the public university does not become an elitist university, where only people who can afford to
pay can come,” he said. “It should be an elite university for the pubic.” Khosla said another challenge will be to increase a sense of connection to the university for current students and alumni, the latter of which contributed only 2 percent to the $1 billion capital campaign spearheaded by former chancellor Marye Anne Fox (the national average contribution to university fundraising campaigns by alumni is 50 percent). Asked by a Rotarian to comment on the college admissions process for high school students and their families, Khosla said, “It creates more turmoil than it needs to.” The number of applications universities receive across the nation has risen markedly. “It’s not that the number of college(bound) students in the is country went up,” Khosla said. “What’s happening is the same kid is applying to 20 colleges instead of five, and it’s all becoming more and more competitive.” Questioned about the status of liberal arts programs within a research university, Khosla said he believes they play a crucial role in preparing students to become critical thinkers and adapt to changes in technology by utilizing both the right and left brain. However, he noted, “It’s also the most difficult to maintain because the feds don’t want to fund it. … The Republicans think this research is making people too liberal. The liberal people think that this research is trying to make people more conservative — and that’s not really a good way to think about research. “Seeking the truth should be independent of whether you like the answer or not.”

September 19, 2013
It’s amazing what 30 years of growing up can lead to.
RSF resident Robin Parsky’s Blue Angel triumphant again at Spruce Meadows Masters in Canada Winning once at the Spruce Meadows “Masters” Tournament in Canada is a major accomplishment for a show jumping horse, but winning twice in four days at the #1 ranked horse show in the world is extraordinary. Kent Farrington and RSF resident Robin Parsky’s Blue Angel achieved an unprecedented feat. Wednesday, Sept. 4, was opening day for the world’s top show jumping riders at the “Masters” CSIO 5* Tournament. Out of 53 entries, 17 advanced to the jump-off and Kent Farrington and Blue Angel showed the speed they’re known for to take the win in the $50,000 AKITA Drilling Cup. Second place went to Ben Maher of Great Britain and third place to Conor Swail of Ireland. On Saturday, Sept. 7, Blue Angel and Kent Farrington again secured victory at the “Masters,” this time in the $125,000 SUNCOR Winning Round. The top eight from the first round came back for a second round with a clean slate. Since speed was the name of the game, Farrington felt he had a bit of an edge on the other riders because of his special horse. He said, “She’s naturally very fast and she’s a brave horse. She’s competitive all on her own. It’s a matter of trying not to make too many errors and sticking to my plan. She’s naturally fast by herself and I’m a naturally fast rider. It’s a good combination.” Second place went to Eric Lamaze of Canada and third to Ian Millar of Canada. After a well-deserved rest, Blue Angel will compete at the Fall Indoor Circuit first in Washington, D.C. and then in Europe through December. Florida will be the winter home for Blue Angel, along with her rider who has a state-of-the-art equestrian facility in Wellington and a string of world class horses.
RSF Toastmasters to welcome speaker and author John Silverwood at Oct. 1 event •All interested community members are invited to attend the event. Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters will host a special gathering on Oct. 1 featuring local resident, author and acclaimed speaker John Silverwood. Many community members have heard of Silverwood’s experiences in a remote area of the South Pacific, when the sailboat he and his family were on hit an uncharted reef and began to sink. The full story is something you won’t want to miss. In fact, it is so compelling that a TV documentary special has been aired worldwide by CBS, FOX news, A & E Biography, and The Discovery Channel. His family was featured in Reader’s Digest’s Drama in Real Life and a BBC Radio program will be aired worldwide this fall. Silverwood’s book is “Black Wave; A Family’s Adventure at Sea and the Disaster That Saved Them.” All interested community members are invited to attend the event. Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters is the local chapter of an international organization. Participation in Toastmasters is designed to sharpen public speaking and leadership skills in a fun and supportive environment. Meetings are held each week on Tuesday evenings, from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m., at the RSF Community Center. Guests are always welcome. The event on Oct. 1 will also be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center, from 5:30 p.m. – 6:45 p.m. Refreshments will be served. There is no charge but reservations are encouraged.

Blogger, playwright, ex-judge Lee Sarokin brings new script to North Coast Rep BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT H. Lee Sarokin’s 84-year-long life has been rich in incidents, but what he is best known for took place in 1985, when, as a U.S. District Court judge in New Jersey, he reversed the 1967 murder conviction of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, concluding that Carter did not get a fair trial. The earlier decision, he wrote, was “predicated upon an appeal to racism rather than reason, and concealment rather than disclosure.” In case you don’t know the Bob Dylan song, or the movie Denzel Washington starred in, Rubin Carter was a middleweight boxer arrested for a triple homicide in a New Jersey bar. There were inconsistencies in the witnesses’ testimony; the only sure thing was: the killer was black, as is Carter. Previous appeals had failed, but Sarokin’s decision held, and every year on the anniversary of his release, Carter phones Sarokin to thank him. Sarokin, a Jersey boy who went on to Dartmouth and Harvard Law School, has been living in Rancho Santa Fe since 1996, the year he resigned from the bench. After 25 years as a trial lawyer and 17 years as a judge, he was not pleased with the development of a political climate in which, as he wrote at the time, “enforcement of Constitutional rights is equated with being soft on crime and indeed, even causing it.” Sarokin is, above all, a believer in the Constitution. Judges, he maintains, are supposed to carry out the law. His mission, to ensure due process, often found him ruling on the side of the underdogs.

Lee Sarokin with his drums. Photo/Maurice Hewitt In the case he calls his most important, he ruled that warning labels on cigarette packages were not enough to keep tobacco companies from being liable to criminal charges and punitive damages, and forced them to turn over documents that provided the basis for subsequent suits. “The tobacco industry may be the king of concealment and disinformation,” he wrote. His retirement did not mean abandoning the law. For years, he did arbitration and mediation, and was Distinguished Jurist in Residence at University of San Diego (USD), giving lectures, meeting with students, and supervising mock trials. He also started a blog, “X-Judge,” which, he confessed, “about two or three people would read, including my wife.” But mentioning the blog to a friend at MSNBC led to an upgrade: His words ended up on the desk of Ariana Huffington, and he’s been blogging for the Huffington Post ever since. “They’ve featured 98 percent of my pieces, and I get feedback, which I love,” he said. He responds to the feedback, too, as long as it’s polite.
Sarokin has always enjoyed writing; it’s in his genes: His father was a newspaper writer, and his son writes for ESPN. In 2011, he wrote his first courtroom drama, “Who is the Enemy?” The play, about an innocent terrorist suspect wrongly imprisoned, had readings at San Diego’s Ion Theater, and in Toronto. “I’d seen a lot of plays I didn’t like,” he said. “And I thought, instead of just griping, maybe I should take a crack at writing one myself.” He discovered he really loved it. “I’ve had a very active and happy life, but playwriting is such fun for me,” he said. “It’s a thrill to go in and hear your words spoken by actors.” So one play led to another: ”The Rape of the Chambermaid,” based on the case of a diplomat sued by a hotel maid for attempted rape, had a reading last April at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. And now, on Sept. 23, there’s a reading of Sarokin’s latest, “The Retaliation Defense,” about what happens after a student whose family was killed by a drone strike commits an act of terrorism. The play deals with the effect of money and politics on our judicial system, and whether or not revenge ever justifies murder. “What prompted it was the Boston Marathon bombing,” Sarokin said. “I asked myself: What could make people want to kill innocent people?” The venue again is NCRT, for which Sarokin has very warm feelings, reciprocated by the staff. “Lee is a great North Coast Rep friend and supporter and an amazing individual,” said Artistic Director David Ellenstein. “His plays are a fascinating glimpse into the justice system and issues facing society today.” Sarokin has other loves besides playwriting. He plays drums in a jazz group, The Joe Satz Trio, and mentors a student at Casa de Amistad in Solana Beach. But his truest love is the law, and his proudest possession is a photo inscribed by Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, Jr.: “For Lee Sarokin — valiant and stalwart champion of the rule of law.”
If you go What: “The Retaliation Defense,” reading of a new play by H. Lee Sarokin, directed by Jay Mower. When: 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23 Where: North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Loma Santa Fe Dr., Solana Beach Tickets: Free admission Box Office: (858) 481-1055

Following the meet and greet, the Foundation will hold a panel discussion during which you will hear perspectives on how contributions to the Foundation, most notably the Scholars’ Circle, impact the work of the school’s dedicated administrators and teachers. You will also have the opportunity to engage in a question and answer session with our panelists to delve deeper into the topics most important to you.

Lux Art Institute seeks volunteers for youth board Lux Art Institute in Encinitas is looking for art enthusiasts, ages 12-14, to participate in its second Junior Art Board during the 2013/2014 school year. Selected students will meet weekly after school to get to know Lux resident artists, create a portfolio of artwork and plan art programming for their peers. Members of the 2012/2013 board contributed to the Junior Art Board blog, LuxJuniorArtBoard.wordpress. com, to share their experience, as well as photos of their work and from events. Applications for this program are due by Oct. 7 and are available at LuxArtInstitute.org This free program is sponsored by a grant from The Thomas C. Ackerman Foundation. For more information, requirements and to download the application forms, visit LuxArtInstitute.org or e-mail education@LuxArtInstitute.org, or call (760) 436-6611. Lux Art Institute is at 1550 S. El Camino Real.
The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club will host a Vegetable Pageant and Contest for members and non-members on Saturday, Sept. 28, at from noon to 4 p.m. “We are hoping that the community, especially the children in the community, will enjoy this event, and come out to see the great abundance of fresh produce that we have available here in Southern California,” Suzanne Johnson, event coordinator said. The RSF Garden Club used to sponsor a horticulture division at its annual spring Flower Show with adjudicated prizes for home-grown specimens, both floral and agricultural. The Flower Show gave way to the Spring Garden Tour, Ramblin’ Thru The Ranch, when it became too difficult to fill all of the flower show divisions with enough participants. “The horticulture division of the Flower Show had a strong bias toward gardeners and farmers, of course, but I am hoping that the foodies and the hunter-gatherers will participate in this show,” Johnson said. “I think a lot of us are in the same situation. We have so much choice in the marketplace, that we shop at supermarkets, specialty markets, organic produce stands, outlets, gourmet markets, and farmers’ markets. It would be an amazing feat to see all of that vegetable produce in one place. “I have an elderly aunt who tries to eat only organic, gluten-free, free-range, non-dairy, low-fat foods that aren’t too expensive. It’s a challenge that has taken me to stores that I don’t think even existed a few years ago.” The “Vegetable Pageant” will be open from noon to 5 p.m. on the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club patio. Vegetables for the contest may be entered from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Everyone who attends the pageant may cast a vote in the four contest divisions: Largest, Smallest, Unusual Shape, Home-Grown. Voting will close at 4 p.m., and 1st place prizes (for largest number of votes) of $25 will be awarded at 4:30 p.m. Participants can claim their entries after contest, or they will be donated to the San Diego Food Bank. For more information, contact Suzanne Johnson, event coordinator, at gardenclub92067@gmail.com, or call/text (619) 507-2754.

Disease prevention key goal for new director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine BY JOE TASH As a cardiologist, Dr. Christopher Suhar can help patients with blocked arteries by inserting a small mesh tube called a stent to improve circulation, or prescribe drugs such as statins to lower their cholesterol. But his true passion is to help patients avoid the need for invasive treatments in the first place. “What I like to do is prevent those things,” said Suhar, 40, a local resident who was recently appointed director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. “Integrative medicine is a blending of Eastern and Western medicine, an understanding in medicine that the mind, the body and the spirit are closely linked and interplay with each other,” said Suhar. “I am a trained, boardcertified cardiologist. But I believe the way one lives, their lifestyle, the environment they’re in, those issues have an immense impact on their health, it’s not just about a drug or a procedure,” he said. Western medicine has its place, Suhar said, recalling an incident when his infant daughter suffered a spi-
Dr. Christopher Suhar der bite and her life was saved by antibiotics. In many cases, though, patients are better served when their health is looked at in a broader way, considering not only their medical conditions, but their diet, exercise and stress level, he said. Techniques such as acupuncture, biofeedback, yoga and healing touch can help patients with chronic conditions ranging from heart disease and diabetes to pain, obesity and fatigue, according to Suhar. In the past, he said, both patients and the medical community were skepti-
cal. He recalled being teased by colleagues during his cardiology training. “Now they all refer (patients) to me,” he said, or call with questions. Patient attitudes are also changing, he said. Rather than wanting to add another pill, he said, “They want to know what they can do to have an effect on their health.” Suhar’s decision to go into medicine, and particularly integrative medicine, had much to do with his father, an architect who suffered from a variety of ailments including cancer and diabetes. His father died at 62 during Suhar’s medical residency, and Suhar agonized, wondering why the legion of medications didn’t save his life. “What pill didn’t we give him?” Suhar recalled thinking. “That was the wrong question.” “I went searching for something else,” he said, and met Dr. Mimi Guarneri, founder of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine, who became his mentor. Suhar took over as director of the center when Guarneri left earlier this year. Suhar said scientific evidence exists to demonstrate
the benefits of alternative therapies. One example was a research project involving two groups of Camp Pendleton Marines suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. One group of Marines received healing touch treatment, while another did not. The study found that Marines who received the treatment saw a “dramatic” reduction in symptoms, Suhar said. Another study in Singapore showed that participation in yoga reduced the incidence of atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat, in a group of patients, he said. Along with its proven health benefits, the integrative approach to medicine — with its emphasis on disease prevention — will fit in well with Obamacare, the new health legislation that will be phased in this year and in 2014, Suhar said. The new healthcare rules give healthcare providers financial incentives to keep patients healthy and out of the hospital, he said. The Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine is on North Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla, next to Scripps Green Hospital. The center
includes specialists in cancer and pain treatment, fatigue and cardiology, said Suhar, and offers instruction in nutrition, cooking, fitness and other areas. Suhar said he personally follows the tenets of integrative medicine by exercising regularly, including resistance and cardio training. He loves hiking, and spending time with his family, including wife Carla, an executive with Hewlett Packard, and the couple’s three children: Tyler, 5, Casey, 3, and Haley, 2. A former Boy Scout who reached the rank of Eagle, Suhar said he hopes his children will also be interested in scouting. He is also passionate about his work, and the integrative approach to medicine. “I love what I do, it’s great coming to work,” he said. “One of my goals is to spread integrative medicine practices and thoughts broadly throughout Scripps.”

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update Superintendent Rick Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through the local media with a monthly update. Topics covered will include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on curriculum and facilities. BY RICK SCHMITT San Dieguito Union High School District owes a big thanks to everyone who supported Proposition AA in November, 2012. Rick Schmitt This was the first school bond election in our district since 1972. The projects funded by Prop AA will be a significant investment in our community that will touch every school building, improve each neighborhood, and affect every instructional program in the district. After a busy spring of planning, our first projects got underway at several of our schools this summer. We’ve upgraded network infrastructure, improved fields, and added air conditioning to many buildings. More substantial projects are still in the planning phase and will commence next summer. Prop AA funds also allowed the District to purchase two parcels of land in Pacific Highlands Ranch next to Canyon Crest Academy for a new middle school. This school will open in Fall, 2015 and serve 500 students living in the Carmel Valley and PHR communities. The new middle school and Carmel Valley Middle School will eventually serve about 1,000 students each. We are working on establishing boundaries for the new school and expect to present alternatives to the public in the spring. We issued our first series of bonds in April for $160 million. The funds from the first bond draw will provide for the next two years of planning and construction. The bonds are all current interest bonds and have a debt-to-principal ratio of 1.63 to 1. The Board of Trustees adopted a policy last year to restrict use of the expensive capital appreciation bonds other districts have used. The Board also appointed an Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee (ICOC) which includes representation
from business people and senior citizens as well as the San Diego County Taxpayers’ Association to monitor bond expenditures. The ICOC will ensure that all funds are used in support of projects included in the bond measure and not for general operating expenses or teacher salaries. The ICOC will also inspect facilities, review cost-saving measures, and review the annual independent audits that are required of general obligation bond funds. We have many years of construction and improvements ahead of us. We will keep you informed of our progress, but if you would like more information, I would encourage you to take a look at the special webpage we have created for Prop AA at www.sduhsd.net/PropAA. Curriculum: In the early 1990s the state of California developed content standards for each of the four core academic subject areas (English/Language Arts (ELA), Math, Science, and Social Studies) that outlined what students were to learn at each grade level. Subsequently the state developed annual standardized tests intended to measure individual and collective student achievement relative to these standards – these are known as the California Standards Tests (CST) and have been the primary tool by which student achievement has been measured in California and the primary means by which schools and districts have been held accountable over the last two decades. The CST’s were part of California’s overarching testing and accountability system called Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) which included: •California Standards Tests (CST) for ELA, Math, Social Studies, and Science •California Modified Assessment (CMA)/California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), both intended to measure mastery of California ELA & Math standards for students with significant disabilities •Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS) intended to measure mastery of California ELA & Math standard for English Learners in the U.S. for 12 months or less •California HS Exit Exam (CAHSEE) for ELA & Math All of these tests were aligned to and intended to mea-
sure student achievement of the California Content Standards and fulfilled all federal accountability requirements. All of these measures were included in the development of an Academic Performance Index (API) for each school – a single score intended to be a holistic measure and indicator of school-wide academic achievement. Since authorization of the federal “No Child Left Behind Act� in 2001, all states have been required to develop a system of accountability for student achievement that includes content standards and annual achievement testing – each state has developed its own standards, tests, and system of accountability in accordance with NCLB requirements. The Development of the Common Core State Standards: In the spring of 2009 the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State Schools Officers met to discuss the possibility of states voluntarily collaborating to develop a set of common standards and assessments. At that time 48 states agreed to work toward this goal and the result was the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for ELA and Math. These standards are benchmarked to the academic standards of the highest achieving nations in the world and reflect research on the skills and knowledge students need to be successful and competitive in the universities and careers of the 21st century, placing greater emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving, literacy, and application of skills and knowledge. As these standards were developed, new assessments tied to these standards were created simultaneously. California has adopted the CCSS as our state’s official standards for ELA & Math and has adopted the new Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) assessments to measure student growth and achievement relative to these new standards. These new assessments will be officially administered to all students and schools will be held accountable for achievement on them for the first time in the spring of 2015. As you’ve likely seen in recent news reports, both the

They approach it from different directions and experiences — one, Joan Wyllie, is a five-year ovarian cancer survivor and the other, Kelly Bethel, M.D., is a researcher and pathologist at Scripps Clinic. Wyllie’s organization, Nine Girls Ask for a Cure for Ovarian Cancer, is helping fund a new study of ovarian cancer spearheaded by Dr. Bethel. Their common goal is to learn about how ovarian cancer evolves, which could lead to earlier detection and treatment. The study has already enrolled 20 women who have or have had ovarian cancer and is looking for 20 more. Currently, ovarian cancer is one of the most difficult forms of cancer to diagnose. There are no reliable screening tests and few symptoms. As a result, the disease is often not caught until its late stages when survival rates are as low as 40 percent. This makes ovarian cancer the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women and the deadliest of gynecological cancers, according to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. If ovarian cancer is caught early enough, however, survival rates can increase to 90 percent. Overall, the mortality rates for ovarian cancer have not improved in the 40 years since the War on Cancer was declared. Each year, approximately 14,000 women in the United States die of the disease. By contrast, the mortality rates for other forms have cancer have improved due in part to earlier detection. Statistics like these bring out the fighting spirit in Wyllie and Bethel. In fact, when Wyllie was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer in February 2008, she reacted not with fear but with determination to learn all she could about the disease. She had been feeling ill for several months and saw no less than nine doctors, who incorrectly told her she had everything from stomach upsets to psychological problems. She finally insisted on laparoscopic (minimally invasive) exploratory surgery and received the dreadful diagnosis – Stage 3C-4 ovarian cancer. She then endured seven hours of surgery fol-

(L-R) Kelly Bethel, M.D. and Joan Wyllie. lowed by several months of chemotherapy. “I thought of the idea for the group while undergoing horrendous chemo,” she said. “I was so sick, but having survived, I was not afraid.” Before she finished treatment, she has founded her non-profit advocacy group, Nine Girls Ask. The nine are her three daughters, her six granddaughters and herself. “I’ve always been an entrepreneur,” Wyllie said. Raised on a dairy farm in the South Bay area, Wyllie and her husband are both realtors and ran a restaurant, Tomatoes, in Bonita for 10 years. In the five years since starting Nine Girls Ask, Wyllie has maintained the No Evidence of Disease (NED) state and has found her passion. “Our most important purpose is to raise funds and awareness,” she said. The group holds an annual fundraising dinner (the one planned for Sept. 14 is already sold out with 600 guests). In addition, the group offers one-on-one counseling and sharing of information. “I am always doing research, I want to learn everything about the latest studies and give women hope, let them know they have options, that they can be a partner in their own treatment,” she said.
Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer Abdominal pressure, bloating or discomfort Abnormal bleeding Bowel or urinary problems Nausea, indigestion or gas Shortness of breath Unexplained weight loss or gain Unusual fatigue Tests to Request: Annual pelvic/rectal exam Transvaginal sonogram CA-125 blood test (measures cancer antigen 125, a protein that can be elevated in patients with certain types of cancers) As a Scripps Clinic pathologist working on several cancer research studies, Dr. Bethel said she was aware of Wyllie’s organization and applied for funding support. With two fellow researchers – Peter Kuhn, a physicist at The Scripps Research Institute and Jim Hicks, a molecular biologist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York – she had a specific focus in mind for a new study. The group had already been working with a gynecological surgeon looking at and evaluating cells of women first diagnosed with cancer. Now, with a more sophisticated, laser-enabled digital microscope and software algorithm developed by Kuhn, Dr. Bethel and her co-researchers can more closely analyze circulating tumor cells in the blood stream.

UPDATE continued from page 14 California Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Bill 484 on Sept. 11, 2013 and Governor Brown has publicly stated his intent to sign the legislation into law. AB 484 revamps California’s student assessment and school accountability system in light of the new Common Core Standards and related assessments. What follows is a summary of some of the key parts of this new legislation, what it means for our schools and students, as well as what questions remain. Key Implications of the New Legislation: With California’s adoption of the Common Core standards and the selection of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) assessments to measure achievement of the CCSS, AB 484 was initiated. The new legislation renames the state assessment and accountability system as Measurement of Academic Performance and Progress (MAPP). The legislation is wide-ranging and there are a number of questions yet to be answered, particularly in relation to Federal “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) requirements, but the key provisions are as follows. Academic Performance Index (API): The API is suspended for the 2013-14 & 2014-15 school years and during this time would be reformulated to include the new MAPP assessments and to include yet to be determined measures of school quality other than test scores. CST/CMA: CST’s and CMA’s for all subject areas and for all grade levels are eliminated effective immediately. CAPA: The CAPA will continue to be used for students with significant disabilities in ELA & Math in grades 3-11 and science in grades 5, 8, & 10. Science Tests: NCLB requires assessment of science performance at certain intervals so California will continue to use the existing NCLB Science tests at grades 5, 8, and 10 until new assessments aligned to the recently adopted Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are developed. A timeframe for the development and implementation of these new NGSS assessments is yet to be determined. 2013-14 MAPP Tests: The new legislation calls for statewide participation in 2013-14 field testing of the new computer-based MAPP assessments (created by
SBAC) in grades 3-8 & 11 in ELA and Math. For 2013-14 these tests would be given as part of the SBAC field tests and at this point the field tests are not expected to yield scores for individual students, schools, or districts and therefor the MAPP tests will not be used for any accountability or reporting purposes. Given that AB 484 has not been signed into law yet and still requires subsequent administrative guidance from the California Department of Education, many questions remain about exactly when, how, and to what extent schools will be expected to implement the 2013-14 MAPP field test. Early Assessment Program (EAP): The EAP program is intended to be a way for high school juniors to measure their readiness for college-level English and math, parts of which were built into the STAR tests. Under the new legislation, for 2013-14 the existing EAP assessments will continue to be offered to schools and students on a voluntary basis and at no cost. After 2013-14 parts of the EAP will be built in to the MAPP assessment and will continue to be voluntary. 2014-15 MAPP Tests: In the spring of 2015 MAPP tests will be administered formally for ELA & Math for all students in grades 3-8, and 11. Results will be provided for individual students, schools, and districts and results will be used for state and federal accountability and reporting purposes. Some parts of California’s new MAPP plan appear to conflict with Federal NCLB requirements and these conflicts will need to be resolved through negotiations between state and federal education agencies. California’s State Superintendent of Public Instruction has already announced the state’s intent to apply for a one year waiver from NCLB requirements to accommodate the state’s plan. We expect this to be resolved shortly. What Do These Changes Mean for SDUHSD? As a district we are excited about the shift to the Common Core Standards and the associated assessments. Most importantly, we believe that the learning objectives outlined in the CCSS more closely reflect what we regard as the most important educational outcomes for our students - a significant departure from the rote knowledge emphasized in the old California Content Standards. We believe the new MAPP assess-
ments tied to the CCSS represent a vast improvement over the CST’s because the MAPP assessments, while likely not perfect, do measure student learning through multiple modes (writing, critical thinking, application of knowledge and skills, etc.) rather than purely through multiple choice tests which emphasize recall of information as with the CST’s. We also see great benefit in many states utilizing the same high academic standards for students – not only does this allow for collaboration among educators across state lines, it also creates opportunities for fiscal efficiencies of scale. The immediate suspension of CST’s also alleviates the difficult quandary California schools faced in 201314. Prior to the suspension of CST’s, our students, teachers, and schools were faced with untenable choices. Given that California Content Standards and the Common Core Standards represent two very different visions of what students should know and be able to do, had the CST’s stayed in place for 2013-14 our students, teachers, and schools faced three bad choices: 1) For 2013-14 we could continue to focus on the California Content Standards and CST’s while ignoring the CCSS despite the fact that we will formally be held accountable for the CCSS in 2015; 2) For 201314 we ignore the CST’s and focus on transitioning to the CCSS and MAPP assessments even though we will be held accountable for the CST’s that were to be given in May of 2014; 3) For 2013-14 we try to focus on both the CST’s and the CCSS/MAPP and likely not do either of them very well. The elimination of the CST’s for 2013-14 removes the inherent tension between the two sets of standards and accountability systems and allows us to move ahead with our transition to the Common Core State Standards without fear of being held accountable for student achievement on the now irrelevant California Content Standards and CST’s. This will allow our teachers to focus entirely on shifting curriculum, assessments, and instructional practices to align with the CCSS and the associated assessments for which students, schools, and teachers will be held accountable beginning in 2014-15. Where Do We Go From Here? We will continue to provide ongoing professional development for all of our

‘Breast Cancer Angels Golf Tournament and Lux Art Institute to hold ‘Lux ‘Fun’-draiser’ to be held at RSF Golf Club Oct. 10 After Dark Gala’ Oct. 5
There was believed to be an actual “angel sighting� earlier this week as the committee for the upcoming “Angels in Flight� met to plan for the first-ever Breast Cancer Angels Golf Tournament and “Fun�draiser, which will be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club on Thursday, Oct. 10. Co-Chairs Dottie Mulholland and Janet Lawless Christ, along with dedicated committee members Susan Muha, Holli Lienau (not pictured) Becky McKinney, Margaret Miller, Joan Flowers, Dolores Crawford, Joyce Burns, Kathy McElhinney and Kelly Dixon gathered to develop plans for a wonderful and whimsical event, which is projected to raise significant donations for Breast Cancer Angels (BCA), which opened its San Diego Chapter in February of this year. BCA is the only regional nonprofit which provides emotional and financial assistance to women, men and families who have been financially affected by a breast cancer diagnosis and who currently are in treatment. Some of the clients are homeless when they are sent to BCA. Some need food or help with their rent
The Lux After Dark Gala will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 6-11 p.m. at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe. Celebrity chef Brian Malarkey and his team at Campine will be serving up Baja-inspired culinary creations complemented by delicious refreshments. While the food will no doubt tempt tastebuds, guests will never forget the visual feast afforded by tours of hostess Linda Brandes’ significant personal art collection. Rockers Left4Dead will keep guests moving on the dance floor, but not before the opportunity to take home fabulous items from the live auction. All proceeds to benefit education and exhibition programs at Lux. Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.luxartinstitute.org or by calling 760-436-6611.

these have been difficult to see, making this type of cancer harder to diagnose or track. “There’s been a lot of progress in blood cancers because we can see cells and see whether they are increasing or decreasing,� said Bethel. “Now we can use this new technology and platform to see how solid tumors are growing, even it’s only one in a million, and change therapy if the cancer cells are returning.� Bethel too has found her passion in fighting cancer. A graduate of George Washington University in
Washington, D.C., she received her advanced medical training here in San Diego in the U.S. Navy. “I love pathology, looking directly at cells, identifying the bad guy, getting power over it,� she said. Now, with the ability to see changes in solid tumors and identify them early, “we have a way to win this war,� she added. In addition to being funded by Nine Girls Ask, the study is also being funded by a grant from the physics oncology initiative of the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health.

SCORE continued from page 1 able to avoid due to “prudent financial management” and the district’s support from the RSF Education Foundation. The district’s target is 90 percent overall proficient and advanced in each grade level and subject, Schaub said. In English language arts (ELA), the district hit over 90 percent everywhere but third grade, in which they scored 87 percent proficient and advanced. In many cases, the district far out-paces the rest of the county as well as the state average. “Our highs tend to be the highest in the state and the area where we didn’t meet our target is the lowest [miss] in the state and county,” Schaub said. Schaub was referencing those third grade ELA scores, which at 87 percent proficient and advanced is well above the 52 percent average for San Diego County and 45 percent average statewide at third grade in ELA. In math, the only two grade levels where the district did not meet its 90 percent proficiency target were
Rancho Santa Fe Review sixth grade and eighth grade Algebra 1— sixth grade saw a significant decline from the year before, from 89 percent proficient to 79 percent. “The sixth grade San Diego and statewide averages are suppressed as well,” Schaub said, noting the downward trend. Schaub said the results show a strength in seventh grade math at RSF School compared to what is happening across the county and state. RSF scored 92 percent proficient compared to the county’s 55 percent average and the state’s 52 percent. Where they have struggled, Delaney said she feels they have “pinpointed the cure” with added math intervention programs. At last week’s meeting, Schaub gave an update on Assembly Bill 484, the bill to overhaul the state’s standardized testing system with new tests aligned with Common Core. The bill passed on the Senate floor on Sept. 10 and is on its way to Governor Jerry Brown’s desk. Should it be signed, the Measurement of Academic Performance and Progress (MAPP) would replace STAR in 2014-15. Once that change is enact-
ed, API will no longer be calculated. Schaub said what that will mean is there will be a one-year gap where there will be no pupil-level data for the 2013-14 school year. The Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium is preparing the new assessment tests, which will be computerized and given as field tests in spring 2014. The U.S. Department of Education has objected to California’s one-year gap in testing and has said the state could face sanctions. Tom Torlakson, the state superintendent of public instruction who sponsored AB 484, stands by the bill. “This legislation will continue to be guided by what’s right for California’s children —moving forward with instruction and assessments reflecting the deeper learning and critical thinking our students need to compete and win in a changing world,” Torlakson said in a statement. “Our goals for 21st century learning and the road ahead are clear. We won’t reach them by continuing to look in the rear-view mirror with outdated tests, no matter how it sits with officials in Washington.”
WATER continued from page 1 sources such as pipelines, local water sources and treatment plants. The district already shares ownership of some assets, such as the R.E. Badger treatment plant, with the San Dieguito District, and it also has cooperative agreements in such areas as public works project planning and emergency response coordination with other agencies. However, board members such as Greg Gruzdowich, who was elected last year, contend that additional savings could be realized by eliminating duplication of support services such as administration and information technology. Locally, water districts in Fallbrook and Rainbow have launched a partial merger that is on track to save up to $700,000 this year, and more in the future, due mostly to cuts in administrative staff, according the combined districts’ top administrator. “This is a great thing. I’m one of the biggest advocates of exploring consolidation,” said Santa Fe director Andy Menshek at Thursday’s meeting. Menshek said one obstacle to consolidation of
water districts is a reluctance by board members, who don’t want to lose their positions as a result of a merger. “If we consolidate, I’ll be the first one to step down,” said Menshek. Gruzdowich echoed Menshek’s comments. “Nobody wants to give up their board position,” he said, adding that he would be right alongside Menshek in stepping down from his seat if a merger is completed. Hogan took issue with that contention, noting that he and other board members are not concerned with preserving their seats, but doing what is in the best interest of ratepayers. “I don’t sense this board has this issue,” of members seeking to retain their seats, Hogan said. Another hurdle is an aversion by boards and managers to lay off employees, Gruzdowich said. “People in general don’t like to address those issues,” he said. “It’s human nature, if we can keep raising rates and keep our infrastructure together, that’s what we keep doing.” Over the past six years, Santa Fe has raised its water rates 74 percent, which Gruzdowich said has effectively doubled customers’ bills due to the compounding of annual rate hikes. District officials point
out, however, that Santa Fe’s rates are in the bottom onefourth of San Diego County water agencies. Earlier this year, the district adopted a new budget that contains no rate increase for 2014, the first time in a decade that rates won’t be going up at the first of the year. Ingalls said another factor to consider is that top rates in the Olivenhain district are substantially higher than Santa Fe’s, and that as a consequence, residents of unincorporated Rancho Santa Fe would likely be “violently opposed” to a merger with Olivenhain. Consolidation supporters such as Gruzdowich have said such issues could be addressed with a tiered rate structure for a merged district. Rancho Santa Fe resident Rankine Van Anda, who attended the meeting, told the board, “I believe there’s opportunity here,” and pointed out the district already has experience in consolidating operations with its neighbors, such as its partnership with San Dieguito. Board member Alan Smerican, however, cautioned that a merger is no guarantee of better service or rates. “Bigger is not always better,” he said. “I think our small agency here has demonstrated it is extremely efficient.”

PATRIOTS continued from page 1 than 1 percent of Americans will volunteer for military service and take on the vital responsibility of protecting our country and our freedoms,” Hillgren said. “While that’s the lowest military participation rate since the 19th century, it’s important that the value of military service remain in the forefront of our culture and core values as American citizens. “It’s a simple yet revolutionary new approach that will fundamentally change the way Americans embrace and support all military families. TPI eliminates the risk and amplifies the transparency and productivity for every single donor who wishes to make a difference in this important effort,” Hillgren added. “There are hundreds of nonprofits emerging locally and across the nation to serve the needs of the military. The Patriots Initiative saw the critical need to simplify this process for donors and to help donors find their way through the maze of options. This is a true game-changer,” said Chuck Yash, TPI advisory board member. The Patriots Initiative will focus at the outset on identifying the most promising programs at the most productive charitable agencies both regionally and nationally. TPI will concentrate its initial efforts and philanthropy here. In 2015, The Patriots Initiative will begin a nationwide launch campaign establishing TPI regional chapters at well-established community foundations throughout the country. Those community foundations will bring regionalized awareness and donor focus to this philanthropic effort across a national “TPI-branded” platform. “The RSF Foundation has been actively engaged with this philanthropy for years, and saw the need to simplify this process for inspired donors who want their gifts to be truly meaningful. By creating The Patriots Initiative we have assumed the leadership of this challenge, and bring a brand new approach – a simple yet comprehensive solution to this arena,” said Christy Wilson, RSF Foundation executive director. Using a range of practical criteria, The Patriots Initiative’s innovative, breakthrough approach has carefully examined, analyzed and evaluated more than
100 charitable agencies that are emerging throughout the nation to address these military needs and serve these volunteer warriors and their families. Every charitable agency is then scored and rated on its merits, based on the results of this evaluation. In October, The Patriots Initiative will release “The Directory,” the resulting list of charitable agencies that have passed this rigorous review and are deemed to be engaging best practices and effectiveness, and are considered suitable for TPI donors/members or any thoughtful philanthropist to confidently consider supporting. Donors who want to support America’s military service members, wounded and fallen, veterans and their families can now confidently do so simply by making their gifts directly through The Patriots Initiative at the RSF Foundation. When philanthropists join or donate through TPI, 100 percent of their gift will directly support the programs chosen by the donor. Donors may designate their gifts to specific charities or to any of three TPI funds (please go to www.thepatriotsinitiative.org for more details). Warriors in Transition: The Patriots Initiative will also provide unique resources such as a dynamic interactive matrix of corporate/educational/training opportunities available to service members transitioning to the private sectors, as well as connections to professional/industry-specific mentors/advisors. Membership: Members of TPI will enjoy special privileges and unique opportunities to attend private guest speaker forums, meet, visit and learn directly from military leaders and veterans, and experience firsthand the solutions being delivered to these causes. “Simply said, our allvolunteer military service members and their families have earned and deserve the best we can give them,” Hillgren said.

UPDATE continued from page 17 instructional practices to align with the CCSS and the associated assessments for which students, schools, and teachers will be held accountable beginning in 2014-15. Where Do We Go From Here? We will continue to provide ongoing professional development for all of our teachers to ensure that they are grounded in the new standards and assessments as well as the curricular and instructional shifts that these standards and assessments require. We are working actively with the five districts that send students to us to ensure curricular alignment and a smooth academic transition for students as they move from one district to another. We are researching instructional materials aligned to the CCSS as well as developing our own materials in-house and will, through a public process, adopt CCSS-aligned textbooks when and where appropriate. We will continue to offer the rigorous collegepreparatory, honors, and Advanced Placement curriculum for which our district is known as well as provide support and remediation services for students who demonstrate difficulty with achieving grade level learning expectations. We will continue to monitor developments at the local, state, and federal levels and will communicate regularly with our families and community as we make this important transition to a new set of academic standards that we believe will help us better prepare our students for post-secondary success regardless of what path they pursue after high school graduation.

An annual one-night count in January found roughly 1,500 of the homeless in San Diego are veterans. A San Diego-based nonprofit organization is now housing veterans, helping them transition into civilian life. “We’ve got homeless veterans all over,” said Rick Collins, founder and executive director of Veterans 360. “We’ve got veterans living out of their cars. We’ve got
At the start of September, Veterans 360 began leasing a 2,100-square-foot Mira Mesa house to provide a temporary home for up to seven veterans at a time, as long as they participate in the full-time program. veterans in substance abuse programs. We’ve got a lot of cure options, but we don’t have many preventive options. We want to be viewed as a preventive option.” The local resident launched the nonprofit organization in October 2012 after he lost four military friends, two who died in combat and two who took their own lives.
Veterans 360 offers help in engagement, education, employment and healing. At the start of September, the organization began leasing a 2,100-square-foot Mira Mesa house to provide a temporary home for up to seven veterans at a time, as long as they participate in the full-time program. “This is the demographic that’s killing themselves,” said Collins, a veteran of the British military. “They’re the ones in homeless shelters and substance abuse programs. If we can help them before they get to that point, we have a chance to change that dynamic. If not, there’s a very good chance they will end up in some sort of distress and, at worst, take their own lives.” From service activities with fellow combat veterans, to educational events to prepare veterans for future employment, Veterans 360 hosts several events each week. They work on building their resumes and getting skills training. They also participate in service projects and social activities. There are currently seven veterans in the full-time program, which requires participants to attend every event, Collins said. Two of them will reside in the rental home once it’s furnished later this month. He hopes to have at least a dozen full-time “students” and welcomes many others to attend the organization’s events. The problem is finding program participants, Collins said. “We know they’re out there and they’re out there in the thousands. We just can’t get them to commit to the program for whatever reason,” Collins said. “We’ve got a good program to help these young men and women. We just don’t have the young men and women. “If you see these veterans, tell them to reach out for support, even if it’s not us. Asking for support and accepting support is not a sign of weakness or an inability to cope. It’s a sign of strength.” For more information, visit www.vets360.org.
OBITUARIES
Jasna Devedzic “A Life of Inspiration”
1950 – 2013 Jasna Devedzic was born July 5, 1950, in the former Yugoslavia and passed away on August 29, 2013. Although she loved the land of her birth, she fled Yugoslavia during the civil war in 1998. In Yugoslavia, Jasna worked as a window dresser. Jasna followed her sister to the Rancho Santa Fe area where she worked as a housekeeper. In 2006, Jasna became a U.S. citizen, marking one of the most important days of her life. Those who employed Jasna consider themselves honored and blessed. She completely took over and no one ever again concerned themselves with housework. Jasna took great pride, not only in her housekeeping duties, but in all the other things she did. She was not considered an employee, but rather a treasured friend and an honorary family member. If Jasna lost a client and had a spare day, you
had to pass an extensive interview with Lisa Bartlett to make sure you were worthy of employing this saint. Jasna spread her love to everyone in her extended families. The greatest joy that Jasna had in life was helping others. What made her tick was helping her friends, children, the sick, elderly, dogs, cats and horses. Jasna was incredibly loyal to those she loved. John Seibold called Jasna the “white tornado” as she was always running, never walking, and didn’t even stop to have lunch. When Jasna first went to work for the Seibolds, John thought she was talking to herself but soon learned that she had bewitched their two cats and as the “pied piper” they would follow her from room to room as she spoke to them in Serbo-Croatian. It was always a pleasure for the Seibolds to return to Rancho Santa Fe from their travels, to the house Jasna had prepared for them, including flowers in every room (some from the Seibolds’ yard, some from her other clients’ gardens). Jasna worked for Paulette and Hal Sexton for thirteen years. Paulette said that for as long as she lives she “will miss dear Jasna.” Jasna called Paulette her “other sister” and Hal her “brotherin-law.” Paulette said, “How can we forget all the many special moments she shared with us. She was with us when Maman passed, she
never forgot my birthday, she loved to decorate our home for the many holidays, and always placed many bouquets of flowers in all possible flat surfaces, especially after we returned from holidays. I used to tell her that the house was like a flower shop! Of course, she gave me a bright beautiful smile when I said ‘Where did you steal all these roses?’ I think they came from Lisa’s garden. She was a gem, one of a kind, told me what to wear for my travels, would say what went with this or that and even packed my bags! She said she did not cook, but I always suspected that she knew how! It was a privilege to have known her, she will be missed.” Jasna was interested in hearing about and, when possible, participating, in everything her friends did. Lisa loves horses and although Jasna had never been around horses until she came to the Bartletts’, she decided she liked horses too. On occasion, Lisa would be looking for Jasna and would find her out with the horses, cleaning the corral, talking to the horses in Serbo-Croatian and feeding the horses treats. Lisa swears that the horses, dogs and cats understood every word of Serbo-Croatian that Jasna spoke to all her animal friends Jasna loved to garden and was constantly watering, fertilizing and pulling weeds. The homes of her employers became her homes.
Jasna loved the children and the grandchildren of her employers. When the young Bartlett grandchildren would come to visit, Jasna’s face was aglow the entire time she was with them. She would get down on the floor and play with them, chase them around the house, and shower them with little presents. Jasna was always thinking of others, rarely about herself. Very shortly before Jasna died she sent the Bartletts’ daughter a birthday present for their oldest grandson, who will turn five in November, and a present for their newest granddaughter, who was born just hours after Jasna died. Vesna, Jasna’s sister, said that among Jasna’s last words was a request that when the Bartletts’ granddaughter was born, the first kiss from Lisa would be from Jasna. The Bartletts son-in-law heard about this wish and the first kiss Vivian received from him was from Jasna. Lisa followed suit later in the day. Jasna knew she would never see the Bartlett children or grandchildren again. She had so hoped to live long enough to see at least a photograph of Vivian. Even when valiantly battling terminal cancer, Jasna took the time to send a box of toys to Muffy Walker’s three dogs. Lisa used to call Jasna “horrible adorable.” The first time Lisa used this phrase, Jasna got a quizzical
look on her face and said, “horrible?” The response was, “Yes, you are always doing things for others, spending your own money, when you should be saving it for yourself for your retirement, and you refuse to take anything for all the incredible number of extra hours you spend doing things for all of us that you work for.” Jasna thought this was very funny and from then on would often greet Lisa, when she came through the door, with, “Hi, horrible adorable is here.” A son of Virginia Dewey went flying very early the morning after Jasna died. He indicated he saw the most magnificent sunrise he had ever seen. He called Lisa that morning after his flight and asked if Jasna was still alive or not. Lisa informed him that Jasna had died the night before. He said he knew it, as the incredible sunrise was Jasna’s doing. After Jasna was diagnosed with lung cancer, her support group worked tirelessly to assist her with obtaining medical care and negotiating the quagmire of health insurance and federal and state assistance programs. Thanks go to Andrew Lai, M.D., Michael Kosty, M.D., personnel at Scripps, Lyudmila Bazhenova, M.D., and personnel at UCSD who cared for her. Dr. Bazhenova addressed emails to Lisa, Hal and Liz as, “Dear Team.” Elizabeth Hospice provided end-of-life care

and was compassionate and thoughtful. Jasna leaves behind a sister, Vesna Shalhub of Santa Luz; two brothers that reside in the former Yugoslavia; as well as her extended families, Lisa and George Bartlett, Paulette and Hal Sexton, Elizabeth and John Seibold, Muffy Walker and John Reed, Alice Cantrell, Carolyn Kooken, Virginia Dewey, Francesco Tavolada, Alfredo Magana and countless others (both two-legged and fourlegged). Muffy Walker told Jasna, just before she lapsed into unconsciousness, “Most of us are good, some are great and a few are outstanding. You are an outstanding woman, filled with love, generosity, and a true concern for others. You have touched my life… you are truly loved by us all...” Michael Kosty, M.D., one of the members of her treatment team, said Jasna “was a truly inspiring individual who faced her disease with courage and set an example for all of us on how to live our lives.” Jasna was forever cheerful, relentlessly energetic and loyal. Her motto was, “Don’t worry, be happy.” She was a one-ofa-kind and will be forever missed by those who loved her. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ ranchosantafereview.

Local nonprofits team up to give homeless children a day of joy with horses at RSF farm BY KAREN BILLING The horses of Rancho Santa Fe’s Osuna Valley Stock Farm brought joy to a group of 17 homeless children from the San Diego Rescue Mission on Saturday, Sept. 7. Chase and Amy Casson, the local couple who leases the farm, were able to run their first Horses for Healing event with help from the ProHope Foundation, founded by Rancho Santa Fe resident Greg Lansing, his wife Laine and daughter Desirea. The group of children from the Rescue Mission, along with some of their parents, came out to the ranch to groom, feed and ride the horses, as well as pet and play with other farm animals such as goats, sheep, dogs and a miniature cow. The group of kids also got to paint and decorate horseshoes as souvenirs of their day. For many of the kids it was their first time being around or on a horse. Even some of the parents were riding a horse for the first time and Amy said their children sweetly cheered them on as they rode. “Horses are very therapeutic,” said Chase Casson. “It’s amazing the confidence they bring out in the kids, it’s mind-boggling.” “There’s a special bond that people can have with animals,” said Amy, who added that they have experienced it with their own children’s love for the horses on the farm. The Cassons, both 38, have three girls who attend Horizon Prep in Rancho Santa Fe. Since they started leasing Osuna Valley six months ago, they knew they wanted to host a charity event but they didn’t have the chance to do so until partnering with ProHope, another new nonprofit. Chase Casson is vice president of investor relations at Lansing Companies in Carmel Valley, where Greg Lansing serves as president and CEO of one of the largest land development companies in the U.S. The Lansings founded ProHope in November 2012 as an organization committed to helping children, teens and young adults who suffer from mental illness. “We feel it is so important to give back and this was something very near and dear to us, based on issues with someone close to us and other young people who have chal-

Our goal is to help hundreds of kids.” As both the Cassons’ Horses for Healing and ProHope aim to help kids in need, Chase said it was a natural fit for them to work together on this event, hopefully the first of many. The recent event was very rewarding for all involved as children from the Rescue Mission were joined by families who board at the farm and other volunteers. Amy said the children at the Rescue Mission go on one field trip per month — most of the kids never leave the mission other than to go to school or to a doctor’s appointment or legal appointment. “I think about how often my kids get to go out and play and do fun stuff every week
and the children at the Rescue Mission only get one day a month,” Amy Casson said. “That one day a month, that’s a big deal for them, so it was really special for them and it made it even more important to us. That’s why I want to do this again and again.” Everyone stayed longer than anticipated and no one wanted to go home, according to Greg Lansing. “It was such an awesome experience for the kids and for us,” Greg Lansing said. “It changes the adults too, we get as much out of it as the kids do,” said Laine Lansing. “Greg and I were teary-eyed watching the group, they were singing songs and they were so genuinely happy. That we were able to bring them that happiness, that made the whole thing worth it.” Chase Casson said they would love to work with San Diego Rescue Mission again or any other group that would be interested. Donations to the Cassons’ Horses for Healing program as well as ProHope can be made at prohopefoundation.org.

Annette Bradbury Who or what inspires you? San Diego has been very good to us, so the wonderful life that we enjoy here inspires me to give back to the community. My work with Las Patronas has shown me how 50 dedicated, hard-working women can make a tremendous difference in our community; donating more than $17 million to San Diego-based non-profits over the last 67 years. My husband and I have supported Voices for Children for many years because of the critical work they do with San Diego’s foster children and it has been a pleasure to work with Lisette and Mick Farrell to make this year’s Starry Starry Night the most successful ever. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would invite Jane Austen; Nelson Mandela; Winston Churchill; Charles Darwin; Andy Murray (the first British man to
win Wimbledon in 77 years); my favorite musician, John Legend; and my husband, Dan. What are you currently reading? After a busy summer, I’m catching up on my summer book club reading — “And the Mountains Echoed,” by Khaled Hosseini and “Wishful Drinking,” by Carrie Fisher. What is it that you most dislike? People who are not genuine; I want people to say what they mean and mean what they say. What is your most-prized possession? Life experiences are more important to me than possessions, but my photographs are the one possession I’d be devastated to lose. What do you do for fun? Photography is my creative outlet. I enjoy documenting my family’s life and travels, and I love messing around in Photoshop. Much to my 16-year-old daughter’s chagrin, I’m a newly avid fan of Instagram! What is your philosophy of life? I have always believed you should treat all people the way you would like to be treated and I love this quote from Napoleon Hill, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” What would be your dream vacation? I’m lucky to have traveled extensively and seen a lot of the world. My dream vacation would be any exploration with my family involving new experiences, a different culture, and great food and wine.

Plant-based food menus fill the bill at new Veggie Grill BY KELLEY CARLSON ast-casual restaurant chain Veggie Grill has planted roots in San Diego County. On Aug. 22, Westfield UTC Mall became its first location in San Diego, and 20th overall. Business appears to be blooming, as the eatery was full of people on a recent Saturday afternoon. “We’re very thoughtful about where we decide to open restaurants, focusing on communities containing mindful people who embrace and prefer delicious food that’s better for you,” said Greg Dollarhyde, chief energizing officer for Santa Monicabased Veggie Grill. The UTC incarnation is similar in appearance to the others and operates the same way. Customers pore over the menu of 100 percent plant-based food, order and pay at the counter, take a number, then sit and relax until the food is brought out, which can be only a matter of minutes. It’s a laid-back environment, enhanced by adult alternative tunes from artists such as Norah Jones and Matt Nathanson. Everything on the menu is free of dairy, eggs, animal fat, trans fats, cholesterol, hormones and high-fructose corn syrup. The “meats” are blends of several types of proteins and special spices. Yet the food — described as “Yumbelievable” by the establishment — is still delicious, customers said. “The food is unique,” General Manager Chris Radle said. “We make sure people got what they thought they ordered and are enjoying it. If not, we’ll get them something else.”

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.
■ This week’s recipe:
Veggie Grill’s Crostini Italiano There’s quite a variety, from “burgers,” hot sandwiches and wraps to home-style plates, entrée salads and soups. Dollarhyde recommends arriving a little early for dinner before a movie, grabbing a booth and a glass of wine, and ordering a side of the spicy Buffalo Wings with celery sticks and house-made ranch dressing. For main dishes, try selections such as the Savory Kale Caesar Salad with a mound of marinated kale, romaine hearts, tempeh bacon, avocado chunks, cucumber, croutons, veggie Parmesan and Caesar dressing. Baja “Fish” Tacos features corn tortillas stuffed with crispy “fish,” green cabbage, Baja sauce and cilantro. The All-American Stack is a tall sandwich of veggie-steak in a spicy house-made
marinade, lettuce, tomato and onion rings with a side of Sweetheart Fries made from sweet potatoes that’s dusted with veggie Parmesan. The GF (Gluten-Free) Power Plate has kale, a salad of sliced tomatoes, basil, avocado and a three-layer stack of portobello mushroom, caramelized onions and tempeh that is drizzled with chipotle ranch. The Thai Chickin’ and Santa Fe Crispy Chickin’ wraps feature wheat tortillas filled with chickin’, lettuce, assorted vegetables and dressings. Among the beverages are organic iced teas: Green Pomegranate, Ginger Hibiscus and Unsweetened Black; regular and strawberry house-made lemonades; bottled drinks such as root beer and ginger ale; red and white wines; and two types of beer. If there’s room for dessert, delectables include the Chocolate Pudding Parfait — layers of pudding and cookie crumbles garnished with chocolate syrup, walnuts and a dollop of VG crema, served in a chilled glass. The moist Carrot Cake is frosted with a cream cheese that isn’t overpoweringly sweet and sprinkled with walnuts and carrot shavings. Veggie Grill offers a kid’s meal, which consists of an entrée (Chickin’ nuggets, burger or mac-n-cheese), a side (sweet potato fries, mandarin oranges, carrot sticks or steamed kale), dessert (chocolate pudding or cookies) and a drink for $5.95. The Veggie Grill chain has intentions to next open in Carlsbad.

RSF resident opens Maggie B and Mister B boutiques at Flower Hill Promenade BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Maggie Bobileff moved from Switzerland to California 15 years ago, she brought more than just her luggage. She brought her European fashion sense. After owning a boutique in her native Switzerland, Bobileff opened a men’s boutique in the Rancho Santa Fe Plaza eight years ago. The success of Mister B led to Maggie B, a women’s boutique, which opened three years later. In July, the Rancho Santa Fe resident opened two new locations in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade. “I think Flower Hill, right now, is the trendiest mall in San Diego North County,” Bobileff said. “We’re excited to introduce everybody to the new location. We’re very proud of it.” From Armani Jeans to Zanella, Maggie B and Mister B offer a variety of men and women’s apparel and accessories. Specializing in European styles, Bobileff travels to New York and Milan twice a year to bring the latest trends to San Diego. “I’m from Europe, so I

Del Mar breaks ground on new, expanded turf course
Maggie Bobileff, owner of Mister B and Maggie B. Photo/Kristina Houck knew all these lines. I searched everywhere for items when I opened my new stores,” Bobileff said. “I choose my selections by thinking of my customers. There are clothes for every type, every size. Clothes can always make you feel good, and that’s what we really try to do. We want to make the customer feel good.” With more than 30 years of experience in the fashion industry, Bobileff still remembers using her mother’s old dresses to create new designs as a child, and sewing a suit for her first boyfriend. After studying men’s and women’s fashion retail management in college, Bobileff was hired as a manger of a department store. After stints in wholesale and buying, she opened her first boutique, La Prima, which is Italian for “the first.” “Fashion is my life. I started as a really young girl,” Bobileff said. “I’ve been in the fashion business forever. Retail
Del Mar may have just finished its summer meet, but the seaside track is already at work preparing for Opening Day 2014. The track began an expansion of its turf course – expected to cost a bit less than $5 million – on Sept. 13, widening the green to accommodate more horses and, ultimately, making Del Mar eligible to host the Breeders’ Cup Championship – in effect the Super Bowl of thoroughbred racing – as soon as November 2015. The grass, grown in California’s Coachella Valley, could be installed as early as January 2014. Del Mar, Hunter Industries of San Marcos (irrigation) and Koch Armstrong General Engineering of El Cajon (removal/installation) will be readying the site in the coming months, starting with the Sept. 13 official groundbreaking. Features of the new turf course include: •The widening of the
L-R: Leif Dickinson, Joe Harper, Troy Leezy course and the softening of its turns will make it safer for horses and riders •Ability to accommodate 14 thoroughbreds versus the current 8- to 10-horse maximum •Widened to 80 feet from the present width that varies between 63 and 52 feet on the straightaways and between 56 and 54 feet on the turns •Capacity for five or six rail movements to minimize wear on the inside paths of the course, up from the current three – will ensure fresh and lush grass for runners throughout the meet •Will consist of 10.5 acres of grass, compared to 7.7 acres on the existing course.

La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology researchers focus on preventing disease through a better understanding of the immune system BY KRISTINA HOUCK About 600,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s 1 in every 4 deaths. Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology are focused on increasing our understanding of the immune system to prevent disease, like heart disease, and develop vaccines, treatments and cures. From chronic, severe autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes, to immune system malfunctions underlying cancer and heart disease, the immune system is at the root of many diseases, said Stephen Wilson, Ph.D., Institute executive vice president and chief technology officer. “We tend to think of diabetes as pancreatic disease, multiple sclerosis as nervous disease, coronary artery disease as heart disease and Alzheimer’s as brain disease. These are actually inflammatory diseases. It’s your immune system,” said Wilson, a Carmel Valley resident who became an immunologist after learning his uncle’s fatal heart attack stemmed from a lifelong battle with diabetes. “You don’t have coronary artery disease because you have a bad heart; you have it because you’ve got inflammation in your heart.” Founded in 1988, the Institute has about 350 employees, including a research staff of more than 150 Ph.D.s and M.D.s from around the world. The biomedical research organization houses 22 independent laboratories at its 145,000-square-foot building, which was constructed in 2006 and is located on UC San Diego’s Health Sciences Campus near the Moores Cancer Center. In the last decade, the Institute has nearly doubled in size, said Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., Institute president and chief scientific officer. “Under my 10 years here as president, we’ve built the strength and diversity of the faculty, the people who run the labs,” said Kronenberg, a Del Mar resident who has worked at the Institute for 16 years. “We’ve almost doubled the size of the number of labs and we’ve greatly diversified the skill set. There are people doing different kinds of research, all related to the immune system.” Still not as large as many of its scientific peers, the Institute’s size is like a “Goldilocks zone,” Wilson said.
La Jolla Institute presents a ‘Life Without Disease’ seminar
Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D. Stephen Wilson, Ph.D. “We spend a lot of time thinking how everyone at the Institute contributes and what we can do,” Wilson said. “We’re big enough to have resources, but we’re small enough to remember people’s first name.” The Institute was recently named the No. 1 best place to work in the worldwide academic research community, according to survey results announced by “The Scientist Magazine.” La Jolla-based Scripps Institution of Oceanography ranked No. 8. “Employee satisfaction is a true value here,” Kronenberg said. “We want people to feel that working here is contributing to something really important.” Since the founding of the Institute, its scientists
have published more than 1,000 scholarly papers in scientific journals, which resulted in numerous patents for discoveries that may yield clinical applications. Several drug candidates are currently in various stages of clinical trials, including Lexiscan, a drug already used for diagnosing heart disease, which researchers discovered might reduce the attacks sickle cell patients suffer. In addition, the Institute in 2010 developed San Diego’s first center for RNAi screening, a breakthrough genomics technology that enables scientists to rapidly turn off any one or a combination of the 25,000 human genes to determine which biological functions these genes control. In 2003, the Institute

Kronenberg said one of his goals as president of the organization is to increase the community’s awareness of the Institute and its work. “San Diego is a powerhouse of research, but what we do is different. We focus on the immune system,” Kronenberg said. “I think the public doesn’t realize how the immune system contributes, not only on a daily basis to your health, but to so many different diseases when it goes wrong.” Kronenberg plans to recruit three more labs to study human genetics and how the human genome relates to disease, as well as take advantage of new technologies to better understand DNA sequencing. “If we do our job and communicate with the general public, they will learn it’s not a million years away to be able deal with a lot of diseases,” Wilson said. “We know the cause. We even have ideas as to how to attack the treatment of it. We just have to figure out what is really going on with the immune system.” For more information about the Institute, visit www. liai.org.

Local resident holding events featuring expert on endangered bonobos BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Debbie Sandler is continuing her efforts to raise awareness for endangered bonobos, co-sponsoring several local events where the public can meet Claudine André, a conservation expert on the species. Since 1994, André has run Lola ya Bonobo, a sanctuary for orphaned bonobos in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She is making a stop in San Diego on a rare tour of the west coast and will participate in two events held in Carmel Valley and Solana Beach. “With no formal education in primatology or any other animal science she is an unexpected candidate to achieve landmark accomplishments for one of the great ape species,” wrote Julie Scardina and Jeff Flocken in the book “Wildlife Heroes,” a book that profiled 40 leading conservationalists and the animals they seek to protect. “She’s one of the angels of the world,” Sandler said. The first event where the public can meet the predominant bonobo activist will be a complimentary wine tasting reception on Thursday, Sept. 26, at Carruth Winery on Cedros Avenue from 7-9 p.m. The second event will be at SeptemberFest Beerfest at Pacific Sports Resort (previously knows as the Pacific Athletic Club) in Carmel Valley on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 4-7 p.m. The event is a Saving the Wild Things event, raising funds for Friends of Bonobos. Space is limited for Thursday’s wine tasting event, which will include a meet and greet with André, and samplings of Carruth’s artisan, boutique wines. The SeptemberFest Beerfest will feature beers from Ballast Point Brewery, bites, live music and a presentation from André. There will also be an opportunity drawing on a trip to Lola ya Bonobo. Currently there are 65 bonobos at Lola ya Bonobo, the world’s only bonobo sanctuary. The number of bonobos left in the wild is unknown but it could be as little as 10,000. The San Diego Zoo is only one of seven in the United States to have bonobos in captivity. There are currently 13 bonobos in the group at the zoo. The bonobo is one of the four great apes (which also includes chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans), and the bonobos are the least known and the most rare. As the bonobos live exclusively in the Congo there is a degree of difficulty for researchers obtaining access to the animals as the country has been emerged in a deadly conflict since 1998. Bonobos and chimps are humans’ closest relatives, sharing 98.7 percent of human DNA. Apes, like chimps, live in a male-dominated society with infanticide and war, but the bonobos are female dominated, they are more peaceful and sexual behavior is used as a way to resolve conflicts. “They are important to protect because they provide a model, both socially and genetically to show that it is possible for hominids to live without war,” Sandler said. “If
The first successful reintroduction of bonobos in the wild took place in 2009 and André is working on that as the next big step for the sanctuary, making sure the animals can survive in the wild. At the Sept. 26 and 28 events, Sandler hopes people will attend to learn more about André’s compelling story and ways they can help save and raise awareness for these little- known apes.

Claudine André with a bonobo. bonobos go extinct, there will be no way for researchers to discover the exact mechanisms by which humans’ closest living relatives live in peace.” Sandler met André at a Friends of Bonobos event in New York in August of 2012 and by October of that year Sandler was in Congo, visiting Lola, becoming more attached to the species and its plight. André was first introduced to bonobos while serving as a volunteer at the Kinshasa Zoo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Originally from Belgium, André traveled to Congo when she was 3 years old with her father, a veterinarian. She returned to Belgium to complete her education, but moved back to the DRC to raise five children and run a luxury boutique of African art. At the zoo, she learned that bonobos became orphaned when their mothers were killed in the bush meat trade and struggled to survive. When an orphan bonobo named Mikeno arrived at the zoo, André nurtured and saved that little ape and her life was forever changed, Sandler said. “That was the beginning,” Sandler said. “She became known as the bonobo lady and she’s been there ever since.” In 1994, André acquired a 70-acre lush forest retreat that had previously been used by former Congolese dictator Mobutu Sese Soko. It became a safe place for bonobos to go. As baby bonobos are extremely attached to their mothers for the first five years of their lives, easily traumatized and very fragile, they require special attention in the form of human volunteers at the sanctuary called “Mamas.” The Mamas raise the babies until they reach 5 or 6 years of age when they can join the other bonobos at Lola.
Carruth Cellars is located at 320 S. Cedros Ave., #400. For information on both events, e-mail Sandler at debbie@sandlergroup.net Additionally, Warwick’s Bookstore in La Jolla will host André and “Wildlife Heroes” author Julie Scardina on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 4 p.m., for a presentation and book signing. Pacific Sports Resort is located at 12000 Carmel Country Rd San Diego, CA 92130. For more information on Lola ya Bonobo, visit www.friendsofbonobos.org.

Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s ‘Celebration of Second Chances’ Supporters gathered Sept. 7 for the Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s Celebration of Second Chances fundraiser. The event, which was held at the Del Mar Country Club, helps support all of Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s programs and services for people and animals, including the Pet Assisted Therapy program, Animal Safehouse program, animal camps, dog park and more. One of the organization’s newest programs is the Community Pet Food Bank, which provides food and other supplies for people on fixed incomes, the sick and disabled, working families that struggle financially, and the homeless. The food bank, which launched last November, serves about 140 people per month. Last year’s gala raised more than $80,000, for the organization, which found homes for 800 dogs, cats and rabbits in 2012. For more information, visit rchumanesociety.org. Photos/McKenzie Images.

Actual historical events and cultural issues have been infused into the stories in order to heighten the Kincade reality. Guests can pick up a souvenir bookmark and follow a time line around the gallery visiting each generation. Machacek has been creating artworks in printmaking, artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books, collage, drawing and mixed media for more than three decades. He holds a M.F.A. from C.W. Post/Long Island University, a B.F.A. from Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, and a B.A. in journalism from Creighton University. He teaches in the Art Department at San Diego Mesa College, where he co-founded Mesa Arts Press to promote the art of letterpress printing in the production of artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books and prints.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Students at The Grauer School learn in and beyond the classroom BY KRISTINA HOUCK During the wet season when animals are not always available, the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania rely on honey, fruits and vegetables. Through a series of whistles, the honey-guide bird leads the honey hunter to the beehive where he pounds wooden pegs into the tree trunk, climbs to the top where the hive is located, chops into the tree to expose the hive, smokes it out, and retrieves honey for his tribe and the honey-guide bird. A junior at The Grauer School in Encinitas, Natalie Brooks learned about the communication between the honey-guide bird and the honey hunter while watching a documentary. Although she never thought she would witness the unique relationship first-hand, Natalie found herself listening to singsong whistles and tasting honey during a schoolsponsored expedition to the East African country last year. “It was the coolest thing,” said 16-year-old Natalie. “This happened to me, and I saw it in a documentary. It was really exciting.” An independent college preparatory school, The Grauer School offers rigorous academics, enriching arts and competitive athletics. In order to graduate, students are also required to complete 50 hours of community service and a total of five weeks of expeditions. In addition to the trip to Tanzania, Natalie has visited New Orleans and Washington D.C. She has also participated in an astronomy camp, Hollywood film expedition and a rock-climbing trip in California. Still, going on expeditions is Natalie’s second favorite thing about The Grauer School, which she has attended since seventh grade. Her favorite? She gets to be herself. “I never feel like I have to be something that I’m not,” said Natalie, who briefly attended a public school while in eighth grade. “At [my previous school], I always felt like if I wanted to try really hard in class, I had to hide it. I also felt like everyone around me was doing the same thing. It was like a mutual agreement to not be real in any way. At Grauer, everyone is just able to be real. It’s something I don’t think I can say about any other school.”
enrich the core curriculum,” said 62-year-old Grauer, who has a master’s degree in education and has been a teacher since he was 23 years old. “Every single class that we have allows kids to develop beyond the core curriculum in areas of personal passion.” Although she just started 11th grade, Natalie is already planning for college and considering a career in medicine. She recently completed a month-long summer internship at Stanford University, where she learned cardiothoracic surgical skills. “The Grauer School has prepared me for college,” Natalie said. “The teachers really want you to learn.” The Grauer School is located at 1500 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas. For more information, call 760-944-6777 or visit www. grauerschool.com.

The school’s 30 teachers adhere to the Socratic model, encouraging inquiry and discussion. “It’s by far the most tried and true, most successful teaching methodology. It respects the intelligence of the student,” said Grauer, who has been in education for nearly 40 years. “When we use the Socratic method, we’re opening up the classroom environment much more toward what’s inside of students. The Socratic method entails a fundamental belief that there’s a great deal of wisdom already in students. Our goal as teachers is to tap into that, to unleash that.” The Grauer School also prepares its students for life after high school by encouraging them to explore their interests, Grauer said. “There are constant opportunities for the kids to not only study the core curriculum, but to work with teachers to

The event will have a barbecue lunch at 11 a.m. before a shotgun start at noon. The tournament will be played in a scramble format. Making the tournament a little more challenging is that the Torrey Pines cheerleaders will be re-creating “The Loudest Hole In Golf” on the first tee. Similar to the Phoenix Open’s 16th hole, considered the loudest hole in golf as its surrounded by cheering and jeering fans. Space is limited to participate and hole sponsorships are available.

New Searsucker restaurant opened with goal of providing a family-friendly eatery BY KAREN BILLING Since opening in July, Del Mar Highlands’ Searsucker has taken big efforts to introduce itself to the community as a brighter, simpler, less-cluttered, quieter, more family-friendly eatery than its predecessor Burlap. Both Searsucker and the former Burlap are members of the Enlightened Hospitality Group, headed up by James Brennan and Chef Brian Malarkey. The first Searsucker opened downtown in 2010 and has been brought to Scottsdale, Ariz. and Austin, Texas — and now Carmel Valley. The group also runs Herringbone in La Jolla, and is set to open its second location in Los Angeles’ Mondrian Hotel on New Years Eve. Manager Nick Baker said the new Searsucker caters more toward the surrounding neighborhood. “Burlap became more and more of a bar scene. The restaurant still has a lively bar scene but as Carmel Valley has lots of families, we wanted it to be a place people feel comfortable coming with kids. We feel this is better for the community,” Baker said.

restaurant — Baker said people let the management know it was often too loud to enjoy a meal. The long tables have now moved to the separate bar area and if there is live music or deejays they stay in the bar as well, keeping the dining room as a place where people can eat and visit in a quieter, although still lively environment. The 6,000-square-foot restaurant offers several different experiences, Baker said, with the main dining room, a quieter private dining room, the bar area and the outdoor patio. The surfaces of the bar remain pre-set with utensils, to further promote that return to a focus on food. Outside they also added the much-requested booth spaces (they never had booths in Burlap) and an expanded fire pit area with ample places for people to sit and eat around it. Where Burlap tended to be darker, Searsucker has brightened the place up. The windows in the front have been opened up and a skylight was added to the bar area, filling the restaurant with natural light. The wall to the kitchen remains open
with windows as with all of Malarkey’s restaurants. The star of Searsucker kitchen’s show is Chef de Cuisine Andrew “Dizzle” Phillips. Phillips started as a line cook at the first Searsucker in downtown San Diego and has worked his way up the ranks. While Searsucker’s menu is similar to the downtown location’s, Phillips has put his own spin on a few items. There’s plenty of salad options, “sandos” for lunch, bottomless mimosas at brunch, and dinner entrees from “the ocean, ranch and farm.” The restaurant also serves up Suja Juice, a popular line of organic, cold-pressed juices developed in San Diego by Brennan, Eric Ethans and Nika Water’s Jeffrey Church. Searsucker is open for lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., dinner Sunday through Wednesday from 5-10 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday until 11 p.m. Small bites are open from 11 p.m. to close.

Exhibit trio opens at Museum of Contemporary Art Top 10 Health Concerns of Baby Boomers FROM MCASD REPORTS The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) will present three new exhibitions, running Sept. 21 through Jan. 12, 2014 at 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla. Exhibit 1 “Lost in the Memory Palace: Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller” Organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Vancouver Art Gallery, this survey focuses on Cardiff and Miller’s work from the mid-1990s to today. The exhibition consists of a series of discrete immersive environments, which span the period from key early pieces, such as “Dark Pool” (1995) and “The Muriel Lake Incident” (1999), to recent works including “Killing Machine” (2007) and “Experiment in F# Minor” (2013). MCASD curators said these installations, all of which have a strong architectural character, are imaginary spaces where time slows down and is altered, allowing fictional and historical narratives to blend and merge with the viewer’s own experience and memory. As environments that viewers understand to be art, yet with which they willingly engage both physically and psychically, Cardiff and Miller’s works encourage shifts in consciousness and create uniquely compelling possible worlds. Cardiff began collaborating with fellow Canadian artist and partner Miller in 1995. When they represented Canada at the 49th Venice Biennale with “The Paradise Institute” (2001), they won both La Biennale di Venezia Special Award and the Benesse Prize, which recognizes artists who “break new artistic ground with an experimental and pioneering spirit.” Exhibit 2 “Scripps on Prospect: Evolution of Villa and Cottage” A collaboration between MCASD and the La Jolla Historical Society, this presentation examines the history of their respective buildings at 700 and 780 Prospect St. Constructed within less than a decade of each other at the turn of 20th century, both institutions’ original buildings share an association with the Scripps family — MCASD was Ellen Browning Scripps’s residence, while Wisteria Cottage belonged to her half-sister, Eliza Virginia. They also have an association with modernist architect Irving Gill, who designed or remodeled each of the buildings. Robert Mosher and Robert Venturi made architectural additions to MCASD. Wisteria Cottage became the Balmer School, and later, The Nexus and John Cole’s bookstore. Exhibit 3 Dana Montlack: Sea of Cortez Working with micro lenses, photographer Dana Montlack makes the unseen visible in compositions that convey both specificity and mystery. Her richly hued images isolate and abstract biological specimens into beguiling graphic elements. Her newest body of work directly references John Steinbeck’s “The Log from the Sea of Cortez” (1951, which recounts
Dana Montlack, 2013, lambda print mounted on aluminum. his six-week expedition through the Gulf of California with marine biologist Ed Ricketts. Part intertidal taxonomy, part ecological travelog, the book considers themes of home, mapping and environmental harmony. Working with scientists and staff at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Birch Aquarium, Montlack selected and photographed specimens and charts from the waterways Steinbeck explored. By isolating and layering this source imagery, drawn from the vast Scripps Oceanographic Collections, Montlack crafts a new taxonomy of place.

BY WILFREDO ABESAMIS, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH As the first wave of “Baby Boomers” reaches retirement age and becomes eligible for Medicare, attention is being drawn to the health concerns that seem most prevalent among this generation. About 76 million people were born during the Baby Boom years, which range from 1946 to 1964. Now in their 50s and 60s, Boomers are not only dealing with health issues such as diabetes and heart disease that are common to all adults, but also problems related to aging. Following are the top 10 health concerns of the Baby Boom generation: 1. Type 2 diabetes According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2011 the percentage of diagnosed type 2 diabetes among people aged 65-74 was more than 13 times that of people younger than 45 years of age. Diabetes increases the risk of serious health problems such as high blood pressure, vision loss, kidney disease, nerve damage, foot problems, amputation and cardiovascular disease. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease or a stroke. Obesity is one of the leading risk factors for diabetes. With lifestyle changes and medical treatment, diabetes and its associated risks can be managed. 2. Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women over age 60, and after age 45, the risk of developing it increases significantly. Coronary artery disease, in which the arteries that deliver blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, is the most common type of heart disease and a main cause of heart attacks. In the U.S., about one in three adults has high blood pressure. The higher the pressure, the greater the risk or serious cardiovascular problems; with each 20mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure and 10 mmHg diastolic, the risk of stroke and heart attack doubles. After age 50, a systolic blood pressure above 140 mmHg is a greater risk factor for stroke and heart disease than diastolic blood pressure. You can help can lower your heart disease risk by avoiding tobacco use, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and maintaining a healthy weight through a low-salt, low-fat diet and plenty of exercise. If you’re between ages 45 and 79, ask your doctor if you would benefit from taking aspirin to lower your risk of heart attack. 3. Cancer Cancer is the second leading cause of death among people age 65 and older. Aging brings an increased risk of several types of cancer, including lung, skin colon, breast and prostate cancer. The link between lung cancer and tobacco use wasn’t fully recognized until the 1960s, when the first groups of Boomers were teens and young adults, and many in this generation smoked cigarettes for decades. Quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke can help reduce the risk for developing lung cancer. Regular screenings for skin, colon, breast and prostate cancer can catch these diseases early while they are still highly treatable. 4. Depression Depression affects more than 6.5 million Americans aged 65 or older. Many have struggled with depression throughout their lives, although some may experience it for the first time later in life. Often, symptoms are mistaken for other conditions such as dementia, or accepted as a normal part of aging (which it is not). In fact, late-life depression may increases risk for medical illness and cognitive decline. Research has shown that treatment is effective and may even lead to positive changes in brain chemistry. 5. Eye Problems It’s inevitable: If you live long enough, you will develop cataracts. Cataracts affect nearly 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older, and by age 80, more than half of all Americans have them. Fortunately, advance-
ments in research and technology have improved the precision and safety of cataract surgery, resulting in faster surgeries, easier and shorter recoveries, and in some cases, better vision than before surgery. Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in people over age 55. It is a progressive disease; at first, vision loss may be barely perceptible. As it advances, nearly all central vision may be lost. However, since it doesn’t affect peripheral vision, complete vision loss is rare. With treatment, the progression of the disease may be stopped or slowed. Annual eye exams are important to help identify cataracts, macular degeneration and other vision problems in their earliest stages. 6. Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. While the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are age 65 and older, up to 5 percent begin to experience symptoms in their 50s or even their 40s. This is known as early-onset Alzheimer’s, and it is becoming more prevalent. The highest risk of death from the disease is in people age 65 or older, and the death rate increases with age. According to Alzheimer’s Association, growing evidence suggests a close link between brain health and overall health of the heart and blood vessels. Since the brain receives nutrients and oxygen from blood, a healthy cardiovascular system helps to ensure that plenty of nutrient-rich blood reaches the brain. 7. Arthritis and Joint Replacement When the cartilage that cushions your bones at the joints and allows them to glide smoothly over each other begins to break down and wear away, the bones begin to rub together. The resulting pain, swelling and stiffness is called osteoarthritis. While it is a normal part of aging, it can also be caused by physical activity over a long period of time—and many Boomers are physically active. Treatment ranges from pain medications to joint replacement. 8. Osteoporosis After age 50, as many as half of all women will break a bone due to osteoporosis. However, it’s not just a woman’s disease. By age 65 or 70, men and women lose bone mass at the same rate and have a decrease in the amount of calcium their bones absorb. Tobacco and alcohol use earlier in life can increase risk, as can being underweight. Talk to your doctor about calcium supplements and other treatments that can help prevent osteoporosis. 9. Flu/Pneumonia Influenza and pneumonia and are among the top 10 causes of death for older adults. Vaccinations are no widely available for both diseases and are usually covered by insurance or offered at a very low coast. Ask your doctor if you should be vaccinated. 10. “Sandwich Generation” Stress In addition to caring for their own families, many Boomers are often caring for elderly parents as well. The stress of being a dual caregiver can be significant, especially on individuals who are also working outside the home, struggling financially, or dealing with other challenges. As a result of giving so much time and attention to others, these Boomers may not take proper care of themselves. Lack of sleep, inadequate diets and no time for exercise can take their toll. If you are feeling an unusual amount of stress, talk with your family or physician about how you can take some of the pressure off of yourself. If you are concerned about these or any other health issues, make an appointment with your physician. Identifying and addressing health problems early, as well as learning how to prevent them, are vital to lifelong wellness.

San Diego Musical Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Misbehavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Fats Waller Musical Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to run Sept. 27-Oct. 13 San Diego Musical Theatre will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Misbehavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Fats Waller Musical Showâ&#x20AC;? at the Birch North Park Theatre Sept. 27-Oct. 13. The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best. The inimitable Thomas â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fatsâ&#x20AC;? Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new beat, Swing. Although not quite a biography, Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Misbehavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; evokes â&#x20AC;&#x153;the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs he made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Assembled under the expert eye of director/lyricist Richard Maltby, Jr., Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Misbehavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is one of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time.â&#x20AC;?

Lagoon Open-Air Classroom benefit at the Belly Up Are you ready for a field trip? Join the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 3-6 p.m. for live music at the Belly Up! It is a great line up with local acts Soul Seduction and Casey Turner. Soul Seduction plays a variety of R&B, Classic Rock, Reggae and pop with a Jazz feel and Dance beat. Guitarist, singer, songwriter Casey Turner has a distinct sound that glides on a mellow vibe. All proceeds are in support of constructing the Lagoon Open-Air Classroom, designed by award-winning Spurlock Poirier Landscape Architects and the Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, at the San Dieguito Lagoon in the San Dieguito River Park. The lagoon has regional ecological significance providing food and shelter for endangered wildlife and migratory birds. For over 20 years, school classes and other groups have visited the lagoon area. Currently, some 8 groups a month (about 100 students — elementary, high school and college-level) visit the lagoon. By providing the classroom, this number can be expanded, so that people of all ages can learn about and enjoy the lagoon habitats at this educational gathering place. The opportunity for students to take field trips to the lagoon and to experience hands-on nature education is imperative and memorable. After all, what was your favorite field trip? To purchase tickets, please visit: www.bellyup.com/event/lagoon-open-air-classroombenefit/. If you have any questions, please contact the SDRVC at sdrvc@sdrvc.org or visit our website at sdrvc.org.
Innovation Night 2013 will pay tribute to the late Duane Roth La Jolla Playhouse’s Innovation Night (Wednesday, Nov. 20) will honor Duane Roth, the late CEO of CONNECT and co-chair of the Playhouse’s inaugural Innovation Night in 2007. The sixth annual networking fundraiser will be presented by Qualcomm and hosted by co-chairs Don Rosenberg, EVP and general counsel of Qualcomm; Tim Scott, president of Pharmatek Laboratories; and Ivor Royston, managing partner of Forward Ventures. “To me, Duane was the go-to man on any issue related to the continued development of San Diego’s preeminence in the high-tech and bio-tech industries,” Royston said. “And so it made sense, in that first year, to ask him to name this event. Without hesitation he said, ‘It’s where technology innovation meets theater innovation — it’s Innovation Night at La Jolla Playhouse.’ With that, Duane established a lasting legacy that celebrates our region’s flourishing culture of innovation in both the sciences and the arts. We are honored to dedicate this night to him.” Innovation Night brings together leaders from San Diego’s biotech, high-tech and associated industries for an evening of theater at the Playhouse to support new play development, and education and outreach programs. The Nov. 20 event will begin with a pre-show reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by a 7:30 p.m. performance of the Playhouse’s re-imagined musical, “Side Show,” with book and lyrics by Bill Russell, music by Henry Krieger (“Dreamgirls”), and direction by Academy Awardwinner Bill Condon (“Twilight” film series). Based on the true story of conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton, “Side Show” is a portrait of two beautiful, talented sisters on the rise. But as they transform from circus novelties to famed stage stars, the spotlight doesn’t deliver all they had hoped, testing the strength of their unique bond.
