Meeting set on Golf Club tree removal plan Purpose of meeting is to lay out proposal, collect feedback from public BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe community will get a chance to review the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club’s tree removal plan at an upcoming special meeting on Wednesday, April 3, at 4 p.m. at the RSF Garden Club. The Golf Club’s plan to remove about 150 trees to improve course playability and greens conditions must be approved by the Art Jury as well as the Rancho Santa Fe Associa-

tion Board of Directors. RSF Association Manager Pete Smith said the meeting is a way to give people a clear idea of what is in the plan and receive their feedback. “We’ve had inquiries as to what’s going on, people have heard of the proposal but generally don’t have a full understanding of what the plan is,” Smith said. The meeting will be the “first shot” for people to get a good look at

the Golf Club’s plans. A meeting was held on Jan. 22 with Golf Club membership and while there were concerns expressed for some trees, there was no real opposition voiced to the plan. At the Feb. 21 RSF Association board meeting, directors said that some RSF residents have expressed concern or had questions about the tree removals. “There’s a lot of sentiment out

BY JOE TASH An updated version of a $6.5 billion, decades-long plan for transit, highway and environmental improvements to the 27-mile stretch of coastline between La Jolla and Oceanside was unveiled on Friday, March 1, by the San Diego Association of Governments and the California Department of Transportation. The document is called the draft Public Works Plan, and it outlines a series of projects, including the addition of carpool and express lanes along Interstate 5, double-tracking of the coastal rail line, lagoon restoration, new road and rail bridges, and bicycle and pedestrian trails.

The document will be available online for public review and comment until April 29 at www.KeepSanDiegoMoving.com/NCC. A presentation on the updated plan, which was originally released in June 2010, was made at a joint meeting of SANDAG’s regional planning and transportation committees. SANDAG oversees planning for regional transportation projects, and administers the proceeds of a voter-approved sales tax earmarked for transportation. The agency is governed by elected officials from local cities and the county. “It’s a major milestone See TRANSIT, page 24

Buzz: Community meeting on Golf Club trees BY PRESIDENT ROXANA FOXX, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD The RSF Golf Club has been working for Roxana Foxx some time on updating its Landscape Plan for the course. The original plan was approved by the Art Jury and the RSF Association board back in 2001 after a great deal of community input. As required by the 1987 Golf Club Agreement, Art Jury review and RSF Association board approval are both required for any modification to the Landscape Plan. The Association will be following that same open process for review and approval of currently proposed modifications to the 2001 plan. The Golf Club has been holding informational meetings for its membership to discuss the tree component of the plan. On April 3 there will be a Covenant-wide meeting where the proposed plan will be presented to the entire community. The meeting will be held at the

RSF Garden Club at 4 p.m. and is open to all RSF Association members. The Golf Club is currently in the process of placing a ribbon around the trunk of every tree that is being proposed for removal and indicating with wooden stakes where they are proposing new tree plantings. Each of the trees that are proposed to be removed has been assigned an individual number which is cross referenced to a guide indicating the reason for proposed removal. The guides are available at the Golf Shop and the Association office. Since the golf course and the trails that surround it are important community assets, I strongly encourage members to attend the community meeting. The RSF Association board and the Art Jury will be present to hear the presentation and member input is very much appreciated. Speaking of the Golf Club, I am extremely pleased to see the significant increase in the use of the dining and restaurant facilities by our membership. Based on the monthly financial statements for the club, January sales volume

exceeded budget by over 50 percent. When Bob and I stopped by at the last minute for dinner the other evening, there was not a table available in the house. Having been a longtime supporter of the club, I can see what is behind the success — a significant improvement in the quality of the food and the level of service combined with some of the best prices in town. My hat is off to Al Castro and his staff as well as the Golf Club board, and especially Kat Nunn as chairman of the House Committee. Not only are their efforts being recognized in our community, but the club recently had the distinction of being awarded the prestigious Emerald Club Award by Board Magazine (one of only 18 clubs in the country to be so awarded) and named Best Private Golf Course by Ranch and Coast Magazine. But don’t take my word for it, give it a try — but call ahead for reservations or enjoy a relaxing cocktail in the bar or on the patio while they work to create a special table for you!

RSF firefighters to participate in Boot Drive March 12 Rancho Santa Fe firefighters will be taking to the streets again this year to help raise money for burn survivors. The annual Burn Institute Boot Drive, which raises money to fund burn survivor support services such as Camp Beyond the Scars, will take place on Tuesday, March 12. Firefighters will be standing at major intersections throughout the district during the morning and afternoon commute, collecting monetary donations of any amount in empty fire boots. “We look forward to this event every year,” said Firefighter Nathan Fritchle, who is coordinating RSFFPD’s efforts this year. “It’s a great chance for us to interact with members of the community and raise funds for a very important cause. It also creates a

friendly competition among participating fire agencies to see who can raise the most money.” Fire Chief Tony Michel added “Due to the nature of this once-a-year endeavor, there may be some minor traffic delays at a few intersections in our district. We want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we strive to raise money for this great cause.” The Burn Institute is a nonprofit agency dedicated to burn prevention and support for burn injury survivors and their families.

RSF resident’s bird sculptures win awards at international competition Dale Steffen, the “bird man of Rancho Santa Fe,” entered three wood-carved bird sculptures into the 40th annual international carving competition, The California Open, sponsored by The Pacific Southwest Wildlife Arts. The event was held in San Diego on Feb. 16 Dale Steffen and 17. This worldclass event brings some of the best artists from the USA, Canada and Asian countries. Steffen’s entries consisted of a Roadrunner, Northern Mockingbird and a Common Yellowthroat Warbler. The Roadrunner won 1st place and finished 3rd best of show out of 28 sculptures in the decorative life size division, birds of prey, game birds and song birds. The northern mockingbird finished 2nd place behind the Roadrunner in songbirds category. Bird sculptures come to life from a lengthy process of love of birds, observing them in their habitats, studying their characteristics, giving special attention to detail and composition of the piece. Multiple sketches to determine the correct attitude of each bird is most important to identify not only the species but also the story or action of the sculpture. Steffen’s Roadrunner carving started with an interest in Roadrunners seen by his daughter Cathy, who would jog in areas in the east county occupied by snakes, lizards (Roadrunners favorite meal) and yes Road-

runners. “Dad, why not create a Roadrunner?” Ten years later, six sketches were drawn and a choice was made to have the bird in an alert position. “Where’s Wile”(as in coyote) was born. Steffen takes super sculpey modeling clay to make a 1/10th scale model of a large bird or full scale on smaller birds, this gets the proportions and feather groups right. Wood carving is very unforgiving, wood that is removed from the block is gone, unlike clay that can be add back on. The final painting is done with Da Vinci oils, habitats are finished with acrylics. “Where’s Wile” became a life-like wood sculpture who will find his home in a collector’s estate in the California desert, where he can keep an eye out the window for Wile, “meep-meep.” The Northern Mockingbird is cut from a block of jelutong wood, the meyer lemons from tupelo wood and the branch, brass, copper and epoxy. The Common Yellowthroat is carved from a block of tupelo wood, the branch, copper, epoxy and the base is a palm frond . Steffen also enjoys doing oil paintings and pastels of birds (what else?). “Work as an artist/sculptor blends art, science and craftsmanship bringing together a creative piece that will never compare to the original birds created by God for our enjoyment,” Steffen said. Steffen’s work can be seen at the Rancho Santa Fe Art Gallery (6004 Paseo Delicias Rancho Santa Fe, 92067) and online at www.sdvag.net.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN It was a bumpy road for the City of Solana Beach, but officials on Feb. 27 finally approved the completion of a traffic calming project on east Lomas Santa Fe and Highland drives that met opposition almost all the way through the process. Estimated at $285,000, the project ended up costing just over $387,000 and included re-striping and signage to calm traffic along Highland Drive between Sun Valley Road and San Lucas Drive, as well as new curbing, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes on Highland. The original project included a lane reduction from four to two lanes on Lomas Santa Fe, but was scrapped after the community overwhelmingly opposed it. This time around, the city also met resistance regarding the median restriping because the community felt the medians took up too much space and pushed traffic too close to parked cars, City See PROJECT, page 24

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF author’s debut novel looks at life ‘Between Boyfriends’ BY JOE TASH Like Jan Weston, the main character in her debut novel, “Between Boyfriends,” Rancho Santa Fe author Sárka-Jonae Miller is single, grew up in San Diego and worked at various times as a pet groomer and massage therapist. But she doesn’t consider her novel autobiographical, because she doesn’t share her protagonist’s obsession with men and relationships, nor her self-centered view of the world. Rather, Jan is a composite of a number of people Miller met while earning a degree in magazine journalism at Syracuse University, and from her high schools days. While she and most of her fellow students focused on their classes and other aspects of their lives, Miller said, certain people spent all of their waking moments thinking about their current or future boyfriends. “That’s all they ever talked about,” she said. That got her thinking about what would happen to these young women if they just stopped dating cold turkey, which is what Jan Weston does after suffering through a particularly traumatic breakup. The novel, which is available on Amazon.com as an e-book, chronicles Jan’s life as she works hard at staying away from dating and also to become financially independent when her wealthy parents cut off her living allowance. Miller, 31, sought to infuse her character’s exploits with humor as she encounters men she would certainly have dated in the past. “She’s like someone going on a diet and trying to avoid fast food, and everywhere she goes is a fastfood restaurant,” said Miller. Over the course of the book, Jan, who is in her early 20s, begins to grow as a person and even strikes up a true friendship with a man, a first for her. “Something I was adamant about, it had to be realistic, she had to change and grow at a realistic pace and everything was not going to get resolved by the end of the book. But she makes a lot of progress and definitely becomes a more likeable person. She’s someone you’d want to be friends with by the end of the book,” Miller said. Miller considers her book to belong to the genre of “chick lit,” a branch of women’s fiction that includes such books as “Bridget Jones’ Diary” and “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” Books in the chick lit genre are lighthearted and humorous, but can also deal with serious subjects such as divorce, career issues and other life-changing situations, Miller said. The books often fall into the category of beach reading, and the audience is mostly women in their mid-20s through mid-30s. The genre exploded in the 1990s, and then become overdone, leading publishers

Sárka-Jonae Miller to shy away from chick lit, said a San Diego writer who goes by the pen-name of Juliette Sobanet. Self-publishing on sites like Amazon has led to a resurgence of chick lit in recent years, Sobanet said. “I think it’s gained a new bit of popularity,” she said. Sobanet’s first two novels, “Sleeping with Paris” and “Kissed in Paris,” were selfpublished as e-books, but a publishing arm of Amazon will reissue them this summer in print versions, part of a four-book deal she recently signed. Sobanet said her books — which are set in France — appeal both to Francophiles and chick lit fans, including some male readers. “There’s a huge audience for this type of book,” she said, referring to the chick lit genre. Sobanet and Miller came in contact in an online forum where chick lit writers support each other and exchange ideas. When she’s not writing novels, Miller said her “day job” is writing about health and fitness for a number of websites, including LiveStrong.com and NaturalNews.com. Miller is already working on a sequel to “Between Boyfriends,” in which her character travels to Thailand to learn Thai massage. The story will draw on Miller’s own travel experiences in Thailand, such as living in a religious center for several days, where she took the vows of a Buddhist nun and rose at 4:30 a.m. for prayers and meditation. “Between Boyfriends” has climbed up the Amazon charts and was recently listed No. 9 for humorous fiction. Miller is hoping to land with a small or medium-sized publisher who can help her promote her book and develop her series of chick lit novels. “I have tons of books to write, I have tons of ideas,” she said. For more information about Miller, including how to enter an upcoming promotion in which she’ll give away 22 copies of her e-book, visit www.sarkajonae.com.

Rancho Santa Fe woman one of 144 to compete in LPGA tournament BY CLAIRE HARLIN Watching Rancho Santa Fe resident I.K. Kim return to the greens after a shocking second-place finish last year at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in Rancho Mirage — in which she lost her first major title to a missed one-foot putt — is only one of the attractions of the upcoming Kia Classic golf tournament at the Aviara Golf Club, set to take place March 21-24. Previously held at La Costa Resort and Spa, the LPGA competition is in its third year and will feature 99 of the top 100 female golfers from the 2012 final money list. This year, 144 players will compete for a purse of $1.7 million in prize money and first place will be $255,000. Tournament director Dennis Baggett said the tour started in Australia in mid-February, and made its rounds to Thailand, Singapore, Phoenix and is now in Carlsbad. La Costa

has been the home to the PGA tour for 38 years and Kia, the tournament sponsor, is headquartered in Irvine, so Southern California is the perfect fit for golf. “People love to play in San Diego, so they bring their families and make a whole week out of it,” he said. Last year, No. 1-ranked Yani Tseng captured her third victory of the 2012 LPGA season and her 15th career win after securing a six-shot victory at the Kia Classic. Kim is ranked No. 22 globally, has 50 top-10 finishes under her belt and more than $5 million in tournament earnings, Baggett said.

Construction begins on open air classroom BY KAREN BILLING Phase one of construction on the San Dieguito River Park’s trailside open air classroom has begun near the lagoon off Via de la Valle. According to Susan Carter, deputy director of the river park JPA, phase one of the construction will have to be finished by March 15 due to bird nesting season. Phase two will begin again in mid-September and will likely take three to four months to complete with an estimated opening by January 2014. The outdoor classroom will be carved out of a slope that is already on the site in between two trails, the Coast to Crest Trail and the upper pedestrian trail. The classroom will have tiered seating with a series of four rows and a stage at the bottom end. A shade canopy

Patriot Profiles:‘Duty is doing the right thing when no one is looking’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY On Feb. 20, 1970, a presidential commission moved the United States to all-volunteer Armed Forces. Recruitment efforts presented the military as a career path, an income, and a way to higher education. In the weeks and months following the terrorist attacks that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001, Army Sergeant Cheri Depenbrock was amazed as people walked in her recruitment office with one purpose. “It was all about the patriotism,” she recalls, “They didn’t care about anything else. Money had nothing do with it…I think half those kids would have joined if we hadn’t paid them.” In 2010, it wasn’t the money or benefits that led Specialist (Spc) Jeremy Shivick, a native of El Cajon, Calif., to a recruiter. He was attending San Diego State University as a math major and felt a sudden urge to join the Army. Despite a lack of family support, he remembers, “I felt like I could serve my country more by being a soldier than I could going to school.” Infantry is what Shivick went after from the get-go, saying that was the job that fit him best. “The first thing everyone goes through is Basic Training,” he says, “That’s where you transition from being a civilian to being a solider.” Basic teaches physical and mental preparedness in a highly intense and challenging task environment, including combat life-saving certification. Compared to school finals, the Army gave Jeremy new meaning to performing and functioning under stress. Shivick had to zero an M-4 series weapon, a soldier’s small arms companion. (The term “zero” means the point at which the path of the bullet intersects with the shooter’s line of sight). This requires mastering aim, positioning, breathing, trigger squeeze – even outfoxing the weather. Shivick went to Advanced Individual Training (AIT) to become a specialist in his Infantry job. “There I learned a lot of tactics and how to deal with combat situa-

tions and how to interact with multi-cultural civilian populaces in different regions.” Upon leaving AIT, Shivick says they get a little more hands-on training with the squad automatic weapon (SAW), an M240 machine gun, a .50 caliber rifle, and the Mark (MK-19) grenade launcher —although some of these weapons are specialized to companies that deal with heavier equipment. Not everyone can get in Airborne School, but Shivick had it written in his enlistment contract. He replays the first time he jumped out of an aircraft, “I was nervous for a little while. You have to rig up [a parachute and rucksack] and do pre-jump exercises to get in a state of mind to exit the aircraft. Lots of friends I knew from Infantry were there – we were moral support for one another. Once I jumped, my military chute opened and everything went great. I got to see this incredible view – the tops of trees I’ve never seen before.” While assigned to the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, Shivick jumps all the time. “Part of our task list is to practice becoming a presence on air fields and going from there to conduct ground operations.” In combat, the view through tree tops could be rocket fire, bullets and shrapnel. Still Shivick thrives on the thrill of being attached to the 82nd. “I really enjoy my unit. They’ve taught me a lot and instilled so much disci-

pline.” He’s aware that staying is not up to him, “If orders take me somewhere else, I have to go — that’s the lifestyle.” It’s a lifestyle wrapped in duty. “Duty is doing the right thing when no one is looking,” states Shivick, “It’s your duty as a soldier to be cognizant of what you’re doing, and be self-aware of your surroundings and actions.” Soldiers take an oath to follow the Warrior Ethos,”I will never leave a fellow soldier.” During a training event, Spc. Shivick put the Warrior Ethos in action. “One of my soldiers was pulling security. You could hear gunfire. Typically, when you see someone fire at you, you want to shoot back. Even though it was a simulation, he froze.” Shivick moved to his soldier’s vantage point and laid things out very simply. “He’s left of this building — go ahead — you’re authorized [to shoot]. Putting simple instructions in small steps broke him out of the freeze. “If one were to panic [in battle] you need to get to them as soon as possible, because every soldier you have is an asset for the team, so you want them to regain focus quickly.” Focus, hard work, and endurance earned Shivick the right to compete in the Department of the Army 2012 Best Warrior Competition. Over a series of three days, he was included in a group of 24 of the Army’s most elite warriors that are put through a series of oral interviews, physical fitness tests, and written exams. They must also complete a day and night land navigation course and work through battlefield scenarios, including individual conduct and laws of war, combat first aid, unexploded ordnance, and M-4 range zero. “The hardest thing I’ve done is the culmination of various competitions trying to become the Department of the Army Soldier of the Year,” states Shivick. The winner is privy to prestigious honors and cash prizes for their achievements. He had to compete against other remarkable soldiers with a variety of military occupational specialties. Shivick came in as a rifleman, but got the hoped-for chance to take charge on those fight-to-the finish days, “I learned all these skills people were expecting me to know and become extremely proficient at. I was able to

have my team rely on my instruction to accomplish the mission.” Although he didn’t win, he gives credit to his command and unit for their help and support to get him that far. “I’ve been proving myself in these competitions and demonstrated potential to be an excellent leader. The biggest thing I can offer is my knowledge of warrior task and drills. That experience I can transfer through leadership. You’re building confidence in yourself and can instill confidence in the soldiers [you lead] making a more cohesive unit.” Shivick’s long-term goals are to be a Non-Commissioned Officer and gain experience from a combat deployment.

Escrow officers Kitty Toft, Maureen Healy and Shelley Wells welcome her to the team.

Today, Shivick’s family sees his decision to join the Army through different eyes. When the call came, Spc. Jeremy Shivick answered without looking back. His nation was at war and that was more important than anything. When patriotism pulses through the veins – a country founded on freedom can smile at its citizens who stop what they are doing to defend it. The military is not for everyone, but thank goodness it’s a perfect fit for some. For Shivick, “The Army is an incredible way to live. It teaches you much about yourself and how to be a good member of society.”

Award-winning jazz ensemble to perform at Community Concerts of RSF event March 22 Imagine a musical ensemble whose artistic focus encompasses the sound of early New Orleans jazz along with the styles from Dixieland, Blues, Big Band Swing and popular standards. Feel the searing rhythms of “Sing, Sing Sing,” savor the lush melody “At Last,” and reminisce to “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” as the Side Street Strutters present a new musical experience showcasing the vocal stylings of Meloney Collins. While the Strutters offer their award-winning musical arrangements, personable humor and showmanship, Collins brings her experience of singing with greats like Burt Bacharach, John Tesh and Julie Andrews, sharing her sassy yet sultry personality, radiant stage presence, and soulful voice. Together these artists create a performance of timeless melodies and establish themselves as a permanent part of the American cultural landscape. The Strutters have presented formal concerts, symphony pops performances and student outreach programs in 50 states, seven European countries, Canada and Mexico. Their superb musicianship and awardwinning orchestrations have earned them national and international acclaim: NEA awarded fellowships and grants; State Arts Council Roster Artists; First Place Honors, Breda International

Music Director Ruben Valenzuela leads a production two years ago at St. James by the Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla. The Bach Collegium music director will be leading one of the group’s biggest performances of the year in Rancho Santa Fe on March 16. The Side Street Strutters will perform in RSF on March 22.

Bach Collegium to perform ‘Messiah’ on March 16 in RSF

Jazz Competition, Holland; National radio and television appearances; International Association of Jazz Educators Outstanding Musicianship Award; appearances at dozens of European and U.S. jazz festivals, a guest presidential performance, and 8 CD recordings. In addition to their numerous accolades, they have been entertaining guests at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif., for 22 years. In concert, the Strutters borrow from their extensive repertoire of beautifully-crafted arrangements, colorful costumes, tap dancing, and 26 years of showmanship and musicianship to create a fun-filled, vibrant and energetic evening of entertainment. The concert will take place on March 22 at the Village Church Fellowship Hall. Hors d’oeuvres will be served starting at 6:15 p.m., followed by an unforgettable performance beginning at 7 p.m. For additional information, see the Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe website at www. communityconcertsofrsf.com. Limited single performance tickets may still available, be sure to secure your season subscription pass now for the 2013-2014 performance season.

After a successful performance of “When Cupid Strikes!” on Feb. 9 at the Performing Arts Center in Rancho Santa Fe, the Bach Collegium is preparing for one if its biggest performances of the year — Handel’s “Messiah” — to take place at the same venue on March 16 at 5 p.m. Also being shown on March 15 at La Jolla’s St. James by the Sea Episcopal Church and on March 17 at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown San Diego, “Messiah” is traditionally a recognizable, holiday-time feature that’s rarely played in its entirety. However, the piece was written in the 1700s and composed by George Frideric Handel with the intention of being performed in March, said Bach Collegium music director Ruben Valenzuela. “It’s a very popular piece, and people tend to listen to it in December, but we are doing in March when there are no other ‘Messiahs’ happening,” said Valenzuela. “It’s written to be preformed right before Easter.” To keep with the huge-scale oratorio tradition associated with the piece, perpetuated by large ensemble performances over the past several centuries, Valenzuela will be bringing to San Diego some top musicians and singers from all over the country and Canada — from San Francisco, to Chicago to Montreal to England. Also involved will be local musicians from San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, he said. For more information or to get tickets to the March performance, visit www.bachcollegiumsd.org.

Mr. Rehling’s chart on this subject calculated the price decrease for three different generic bonds if interest rates were to increase by one, two and three percent. “In the table below, you can see the duration and price performance of three generic bonds.

Examples are used for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the rates for any investment available for purchase through Wells Fargo Advisors. Duration is a measure used to determine a bond/s or bond portfolio’s sensitivity to movements in interest rates. Generally, the longer the duration the more sensitive a bond or bond portfolio is to changes in interest rates. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Long duration bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate moves. One way for investors to gauge their interest rate risk is to determine the duration of their fixed-income portfolio. If the duration is above an investor’s comfort zone, they should look at strategies that can reduce their portfolio duration.” You can easily deduce from this chart that the price corrections are pretty severe at the longer end (the 30 year and 10 year paper), and if it should occur it may catch many an investor by surprise.

And the passage last November of the district’s own Proposition AA bond measure, although a great relief to district officials, does not solve San Dieguito’s general fund budget woes, because those dollars are restricted for use only on facilities and capital improvements. In a letter posted on the district’s website, SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah wrote, “Because new revenue generated from Prop. 30 taxes was built into the state’s budget in June, Prop. 30 does not provide any additional funding to school districts in this current year.” Noah also wrote that it is important “to remember that Prop. AA funds cannot be used for general operating costs like school, department, or classroom expenses,” although the measure does allow the district “to implement our long-range facilities master plan which

we have been working on since 2008.” On the positive side, Noah said Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2013-2014 budget “has given us some reassurance that California education funding has started on the path to recovery. For the first time in five years, we do not have the threat of drastic cuts looming over the horizon.” But Brown is also proposing a new funding system for schools, called the Local Control Funding Formula, that may hurt Basic Aid districts like San Dieguito. Noah called it “a revolutionary overhaul of how schools are funded.” Although the details are still uncertain and have not been solidified, introduced or passed by the legislature, Noah’s concerns center around the intent to eliminate almost all funding for what’s called categorical programs. The purpose is to give districts more local control over how to spend their money, which in theory is of benefit but perhaps less so for Basic Aid districts. The key concept of Brown’s plan, wrote Noah, “is that each district will receive a base grant per student, and then a supplemental grant based on the number of English learners and lower-socioeconomic students in the district.” Early interpretations in-

dicate that districts whose property taxes exceed the amount they would receive from the state under the new formula – Basic Aid districts like San Dieguito, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach – would not be eligible for any additional state funding except for special education and transportation. “As a current Basic Aid district, this has profound implications for SDUHSD as it would likely mean the end of state funding as we know it,” wrote Noah. He said prudent planning and a healthy balance in reserves have allowed his district to avoid furlough days, layoffs and salary freezes. But the district, he said, is still spending more than it takes in, and reserves are diminishing. “We still have a large gap between our revenue and our expenditures,” Noah wrote. “We will not be beyond this crisis until we are able to close that gap and start restoring our reserves.” A bleak outlook Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, said neither the bond nor Prop. 30 is the answer to the district’s financial shortfall. “We still have a rather bleak outlook,” he said. Although General Obligation bonds are to be used strictly for facilities and cap-

Delicias to sponsor March 13 ‘the difference is you’ dinner in support of ‘FiveStar Education’ programs at RSF School Join the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation and its gracious host Delicious Restaurant for a Five-Star Dinner to support the “Five-Star Education” programs at the Ranch School. Delicias Restaurant will once again host a private three-course dinner, including wine and gratuity, on Wednesday, March 13, at 6:30 p.m., for the first 60 people who contribute *$250 per person to the Education Foundation. Chef Molina will prepare this exquisite menu. Chef Molina discovered his passion for fine cuisine early on watching Chef Emeril Lagasse with his mother. He then honed his skills at the San Diego Culinary Institute. His first real taste of the kitchen came under Chef Pascal Vignau at Savory in Encinitas. After a year with Pascal, Chef Molina went on to be part of the opening team for the Grand Del Mar where he furthered his culinary knowledge. Chef Molina then moved on to his next venture at L’Auberge Del Mar to work with Chef Paul McCabe. His ability brought him all the way to cooking at the James Beard House alongside McCabe. Chef Molina credits his mentor with helping him discover the exquisite culinary style that has placed him as a rising star on the food scene.

The Education Foundation is extremely grateful to Delicias and the Perry Family for sponsoring this effort. It will be a wonderful evening celebrating the strength of this community, parents and businesses, working together to support the neighborhood and school. *Space is limited to 60 people at tables of six or eight. Seats will be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis in the order that checks are received at the Education Foundation office. Twelve percent of each contribution will be used to cover service fees. See the school website to view the fabulous menu.

ital improvements, and cannot be applied to the general fund, San Dieguito’s bond does, however, reduce the district’s general fund outlay by about $1.14 million a year. This is because the bond money will enable the district to shift payments of about $860,000 per year, for the solar projects erected at Canyon Crest Academy and La Costa Canyon High School, from the general fund to the bond funds. And staffing offsets of about $280,000 related to construction and facilities issues can now be covered by bond money. “While Prop. AA funds cannot be used for general operating expenses, there was one component in the bond measure that will allow us to use bond proceeds to retire the capital debt on the solar energy projects at LCC and CCA that is currently backed by the general fund,” Dill said. “This will have a positive net effect on the unrestricted general fund.” So it helps, but not enough, Dill said. “There may be some ancillary benefits to the general fund from the construction projects, such as more energy efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, etc.,” he said in an email. “But those won’t be realized immediately and are hard to quantify at this point, so we have not built any of those potential savings into our projections.”

At a workshop in December, Dill presented school board members with a budget update showing a projected depletion of unrestricted general funds by 2014-2015 if no further action is taken. Possible budget savings may be realized through retirement of personnel, staffing changes and greater efficiency, for a projected total savings of about $1.68 million in 2013-2014. With these and other savings and revenue ideas calculated into the budget, the district projected a slightly rosier outlook for the future, although unrestricted reserves still fall below zero by 2014-2015. Additional solutions discussed at the workshop included setting the number of credits required to graduate at 220 instead of the current 230, which would mean fewer classes and fewer teachers. Other districts with comparable student performance require fewer than 230 credits to graduate. Palo Alto requires 210, Irvine 215 and Capistrano 220. If implemented, Dill said the savings would grow to about $500,000 per year over time. However, board members were not interested in pursuing this option, he said, believing it would result in students taking fewer elective courses. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

PROJECT continued from page 3 Manager David Ott said. The city has assured the community it will seek alternatives if residents are not happy with the changes. The city renegotiated with the contractor midway through the project after residents asked for more residential striping in the neighborhoods and median upgrades along Highland Drive between San Lucas and San Andres drives. The city implemented the striping and painted the medians at citizens’ request, however, officials are conducting further evaluations before considering raised medians. Douglas Alden of the city’s bike committee said he was happy with the striping, however, he said he would like to see the installation of bike counters in that area near San Dieguito Park.

als the nonprofit organization became a reality. A major change occurred when a single-story home on La Gracia came on the market. Designed by master architect Lilian J. Rice, in 1924, the home is listed on the national Register of Historic Places and is considered a local treasure. The organization was able to purchase the house and after undergoing necessary changes to make it compliant with current codes the center opened its doors in September 2002. Since then the center has expanded its programs to include continued learning, creativity, social opportunities, health outreach and advocacy to address the challenges faced with aging and more. Seniors can now take classes such as painting, cooking, art and music appreciation, literary discussion, physical fitness, Mahjong lessons, French discussion, poker with Richard Lederer, acting with Monty Silverstone and more. Some of the classes are taught by seniors who return to share

their knowledge. The center is managed by compassionate, knowledgeable staff and a dedicated board of directors, led by board president Carla DiMare. Robert Grant and Harold Sexton are Directors Emeritus. The organization is funded solely through the generosity of donor contributions. Supporters may also contribute through long-range charitable giving and estate planning. A community anniversary celebration and donor recognition event will be scheduled for later this year. “This is a lovely organization and it’s a privilege to be a part of it,” said Litwin who foresees an increasing demand for the services as the population ages. “We love our loyal friends and supporters who contribute each year to help us maintain the quality of our programs and resources.” To learn more about the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center and the programs it offers, or to make a gift of a tax deductible donation visit www.rsfseniors.org or call (858) 756-3041

species that are nearing the end of their natural lives. At the Jan. 22 meeting, Golf Club officials said they are sensitive to how the community sees what they are proposing as the club is owned by the RSF Association. Officials said decisions have been made after careful consideration and review of each individual tree. In addition to trees that will come out, there is a

plan for new trees to be planted. The new plan focused on trees with a natural resistance to invasive insects, as well as tree species that give the course more diversity while being compatible with the Rancho Santa Fe landscape theme. Trees proposed for removal have begun to be marked and stakes planted where new trees are proposed.

TRANSIT continued from page 1 for us,” said Allan Kosup, a Caltrans official who oversees projects along the I-5 corridor, of the updated Public Works Plan. On Friday, the agencies sent out 85,000 postcards, informing coastal North County residents that the plan is available for review and comment. Two public meetings to gather comment on the plan are also scheduled: on Wednesday, April 3, from 6-8 p.m. at La Jolla Country Day School; and on Thursday, April 4, from 6-8 p.m. at the Carlsbad Senior Center. Kosup said at Friday’s meeting that the project now includes some $200 million in environmental mitigation, tailored to each of the six lagoons along the 27-mile corridor. Following the release of the first version of the plan, Kosup said, members of the public wanted assurances that environmental and trail projects would not be put on the back burner in favor of highway and rail enhancements. “I look at this as the implementation blueprint for the $6.5 billion investment,” Kosup said. Caltrans and SANDAG hope to submit the revised plan to the California Coastal Commission sometime this summer, and have a hearing before the commission by the spring of 2014. If the plan is approved, Kosup said, construction of the first phase

of work on I-5, which consists of one new carpool lane in each direction from Manchester Avenue to State Route 78, could begin in 2015. Ultimately, the project will add two new express lanes in each direction of the freeway, from Oceanside to La Jolla. The plan envisions completion of all the projects by 2040. In addition, the plan calls for numerous road, rail and environmental projects: • Direct access ramps, allowing commuters to enter express lanes directly, rather than having to cut across several lanes of highway traffic. • New and upgraded park and ride lots. • Pedestrian crossings under the freeway to allow coastal access. • Train station improvements, including a special events platform at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. • Lagoon restoration and coastal habitat preservation. • New bike/pedestrian bridges, adjacent to I-5 to allow north-south access across lagoons. • New 27-mile North Coast Bike trail to complement the existing Coastal Rail Trail, and connect to the east-west Coast to Crest trail. As planning proceeds on the projects contained in the Public Works Plan, the agencies are also working on marketing efforts designed to reduce freeway congestion along the North County coastal corridor.

A report provided at Friday’s meeting details efforts to convince commuters to consider alternatives to solo driving such as walking, biking, taking public transit, carpooling, vanpooling or working from home. SANDAG has already conducted market research including focus groups, surveys of employers, interviews with school officials and roundtable discussion forums with business groups and community organizations. Employers estimated that 80 percent of their workers drive alone, and that commute distances are long: the survey found that at 20 percent of companies, most workers live more than 20 miles from their workplace. The Public Works Plan released Friday is also consistent with state Senate Bill 468, which requires that rail, highway, coastal and community improvements and environmental mitigation along the North County coast be developed concurrently, said a SANDAG staff report. State and federal highway agencies decided in 2011 to add four lanes to the existing eight lanes on I-5 between La Jolla and Oceanside, after North County coastal residents opposed a more ambitious, six-lane option. However, some community members continue to call for the development of public transit instead of widening freeways as a way of reducing traffic congestion.

1929 RSF Master Plan map event

special event featuring the original 1929 Rancho Santa Fe Master Plan map was held Feb. 28 at the RSF Golf Club. At an auction in New York City last year, local antique map dealer Barry Ruderman acquired a massive map, in near pristine condition, showing the original Master Plan for Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach (labeled “La Costa” back in the day). The map was acquired from the estate of nationally recognized city planner and author of the RSF Protective Covenant, Charles H. Cheney. Rancho Santa Fe natives Erin Weidner and Jason Mubarak, of the Rancho Santa Fe Group at Morgan Stanley, brought the idea to RSF Golf Club General Manager Al Castro, along with Golf Club members Janet Christ and Leslie Barone. Castro was enthusiastic and supportive of holding the map evening at the club. Ruderman spoke about the history, and the acquisition, of the map.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Country Day fourth-grader, Ursula Hardianto, 9, loves to perform. She plays the classics on piano so beautifully that in March and April she will get to do so at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Occasionally unable to contain her giggling, Ursula said of the shows, “I’m really excited to actually walk on the stage.” Ursula entered two national contests for young musicians – the American Protégé International Piano Competition and the American Association for Development of the Gifted and Talented International Piano Competition – and scored high enough in each to earn a spot in the Carnegie lineup. The top scorers in these competitions are heading to New York City. Ursula and her family will have their travel expenses covered through a gift from Masterbuilders SF, a San Francisco-based development company that sponsors young artists across California. After hearing Ursula play, the company agreed to cover the plane tickets and hotel

accommodations. “I was quite shocked … but really happy and excited,” she said, again holding back laughter. Her sister, Priscilla, 13, (who plays violin) is supportive. “When I heard, I couldn’t believe it,” Priscilla said. “I was like ‘my sister is going to perform on the famous stage of America!’ So I was really excited for her.” Mother, Agatha Iskandar, also said she is thrilled for her younger daughter. “It was something I had dreamed about but never really thought in my wildest dreams that I’m actually going to see my own daughter on the stage of Carnegie Hall.” Lucky for Ursula, the piece she will perform is her favorite piece to play: Berkovich’s Variations on the theme of Paganini. She said the piece was originally written for the violin, but was rewritten for the piano. Iskandar said she grew up playing music and wanted the same for her children. “I wanted to make sure they enjoyed the same gift I enjoyed all my life,” she said. “So I put them through music school and

we found a really good teacher that Ursula had good chemistry with and who is able to develop her (skills).” That teacher is Ariel Yang with The Opus 119 School of Music. Based in Irvine, Iskandar and Ursula drive to the Opus School every weekend. Director Ethan Dong called Ursula a very honest and humble student. “She follows direction and knows if she works hard, she’ll get results in her performances,” he said, adding Ursula does work hard, which in his experience, is not easy for young kids to do. Despite the undeniable talent, Iskandar said she wouldn’t force her children into a musical career. “I just want them to pursue whatever is going to make them feel fulfilled,” she said. “At the end of the day, it’s still their life but I do hope they’ll always have music as an add-on.” As this part of her life takes Ursula to New York City, there is one other thing she said she wants to do while she’s there: visit the famed toy store FAO Schwarz.

SDJA students invite all to participate in ‘Walk to End Genocide’ April 7

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING San Diego Jewish Academy sophomore Zander Cowan is working to organize his Second Annual Walk to End Genocide at Ocean Air Community Park in Carmel Valley on Sunday, April 7, from 9 a.m. to noon. The one-mile walk aims to raise awareness, support and hope for the survivors of genocide in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Almost six million people have lost their lives to the genocide and mass atrocities in Sudan and Congo. More than three million people have been displaced from their villages in Sudan and 200,000 people are surviving in refugee camps in Chad. An estimated 45,000 people die each month in Congo. The one mile walk is sponsored by and will support Jewish World Watch (JWW) and is being planned by a philanthropic young team of SDJA sophomores: Zander, Naomi Suminski and Ilana Engel. Zander and his classmates first learned about JWW in the eighth grade, after a presentation on the genocide in Congo and Su-

dan in his Jewish studies class. Zander said the whole class was inspired to help and sold blue rubber bracelets stamped with the words “Decide to End Genocide”; they were able to raise $1,700. “It really hit home at our school. Since (genocide) has happened to us, I feel like it’s my job to help those who can’t be helped,” said Zander, whose grandmother hid in an attic for four years during the Holocaust. “It’s an issue that’s close to home and we should try to help the world, especially in regard to genocide.” Zander took his cue from JWW’s rallying call: “Fight genocide, we cannot stand idly by.” Last year as freshman, Zander and Naomi felt like they wanted to take their fundraising efforts up to the next level and approached JWW about organizing a walk on the SDJA campus. Their first effort had 100 walkers last year and raised $5,000. “We took our experiences last year and decided to make [the walk] bigger, reaching out to the community as a whole,” Zander said.

COURTESY PHOTO Their goal is to raise over $2,500 and have about 250 people walking with them. Zander has reached out to other high schools, such as The Bishop’s School and Santa Fe Christian, churches and mosques and JWW believes this walk, one of five throughout California, will be the most interracial and inter-religious event in the state. Money raised at the walk will go to JWW to fund programs that not only provide relief but aim to restore

dignity and help develop skills and opportunities to improve communities in Sudan and Congo, such as providing education to children in the refugee camps. As women and girls are some of the most vulnerable in Sudan and Congo, JWW has created a rape and crisis center for women and provides training in small livestock and animal husbandry as a way to earn a living and rebuild their lives. Zander said he learned that a high percentage of

women and girls in Congo are raped—nearly 48 women every hour. Many of the incidents occur when the women must go into the forest to gather firewood to warm and feed their families. One of JWW’s projects is a solar cooker project—$18 can buy a solar cooker for a family in Congo, which keeps women from having to venture off into the forest and potentially, be victimized. At the April 7 event, they will have solar cookers on display and people will be able to make potholders for the women, a project JWW has taken on in the past. “The first shipment of pot holders they sent, the women didn’t know what they were for and put them on display because they thought they were pretty,” Zander said. “Once they found out what they were for, they were really touched that we care about things like we don’t want them to burn their hands.” Other hands-on projects at the walk will be an opportunity to write a letter to genocide survivors and as April 7 is Holocaust Remembrance Day, participants will

also be able to participate in SDJA’s butterfly project, their mission to create 1.5 million ceramic butterflies to memorialize the number of children killed during the Holocaust. The event will also feature a presentation from Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Eger, as well as a speech by a La Jolla Country Day School student who is from Darfur and a dance with her African dance troop. Zander is planning this walk in addition to a busy school schedule and being a member of a rowing crew at Mission Bay. “It’s a lot on top of school and sports but it’s my passion,” said Zander. “It’s a tight schedule but while I can, I want to give my time to charity now so when I’m older I can give money when I have it.” While there will be event-day registration, Zander is encouraging people to sign up online. Registration is $18 for adults and teens 12 and older, and participants receive a t-shirt. Children 11 and under walk for free but all must be registered. Register at WalktoEndGenocide.org

The dining room at Prepkitchen’s Del Mar location has shelves filled with books, wine, candles and other knickknacks.

BY KELLEY CARLSON repkitchen has evolved through the last few years from a tiny establishment in La Jolla into a fullservice restaurant with three locations in San Diego County. Its objective: To offer the same quality fare as its sister establishment, Whisknladle, but at more “neighborhoodfriendly” prices and a casual atmosphere. While the goal is the same at all sites, guests will find differences when visiting Prepkitchen’s two northernmost restaurants in Del Mar and La Jolla. After an electrical fire shuttered it in October 2011, the Del Mar location reopened in September 2012 with a new look that is modern and playful, similar to the Little Italy site. Inside, there are shelves filled with books, wine, candles and other assorted knickknacks, and booths covered with faux crocodile skin. Outside is a patio strung with lights, candle lights dangling over a community table and a high-table section dedicated to tapas service. Background music ranges from current hits to classics, from Oingo Boingo and Creedence Clearwater Revival to even reggae at brunch time. The original site in La Jolla is smaller than its counterparts, initially set up for customers on the go — in fact, the kitchen is part of the dining room. It’s “quaint and fun,” as described by manager Jeffery Arnesen, with a covered patio and a courtyard. By day, both Del Mar and La Jolla locations — which are dog-friendly — are relaxed and on the quiet side. The casual vibe continues into the evening. “After a hard day, you can grab a glass of wine and a good hearty meal that’s made from scratch,” Arnesen said. “Let the server take you on a journey through the food —

Guests dine at Prepkitchen’s covered patio in Del Mar. they know what’s really great. It takes the pressure off.” The menus are similar at each location, with frequent changes depending on what is available from suppliers. “We like to keep it interesting, and make it exciting every time someone comes back,” Arnesen said. And while La Jolla serves breakfast, Del Mar does not. However, both offer brunch and dinner and the focus is on farm-to-table. There are tapas, such as Patatas Bravas, featuring cubed potatoes dressed in a mildly spicy chipotle sauce; the Brussels Sprouts with Bacon; and the creamy Pea & Green Garlic Risotto with sweet, crisp peas and Parmesan sprinkled on top. Different soups are presented daily and among the creations is the Mushroom Puree with a gougere (a pastry mixed with Parmesan and gruyere cheeses) floating in the middle. There are a handful of salads, including Pumpkin & Kale with warm, fried ciabatta, large shavings of Parmesan, small chunks of

pumpkin, pine nuts and kale, all tossed in a sherry vinaigrette. For current main dishes, there’s Mary’s Half Chicken in lime chicken jus with charred broccoli and a sweet potato mash that has a hint of cinnamon; the popular Tagliatelle Bolognese, composed of long, thick, house-made noodles mixed with beef, porcini mushrooms, tomato, rosemary and a dusting of Parmigiano-reggiano. Another favorite is the cranberry-topped Grilled Pork Chop, which lies on a bed of grits and mustard greens, all in bourbon pork jus. And of course, there’s dessert, with temptations such as the Chocolate & Salted Caramel Tart with a dollop of Chantilly cream and cocoa nibs. Patrons who bring their own wine will have the corkage fee waived if they also buy a bottle in-house. “We want to be the neighborhood restaurant that everybody goes to for good food and great hospitality,” Arnesen said.

Locals are pouring into new Solana Beach brewery BY CLAIRE HARLIN The new Culture Brewing Co. in Solana Beach is only a couple weeks into its soft opening and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a working phone or sign up yet, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already proven to be a hoppinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; place. Tucked between two retail shops near the northwest corner of Cedros Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive, the droves of people socializing inside indicate it has made itself right at home since it opened its doors for the first time on Feb. 20. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder that locals have already made themselves at home there. Culture Brewing is not only the passion project of three local beer enthusiasts, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the product of some 20 investors who live in the neighborhood as well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mainly local dads who know co-founders John Niedernhofer and Dennis Williams, both of Solana Beach, through their mutual involvement in the YMCA daddy-daughter club, Indian Princesses. The breweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first day in business was dedicated exclusively to bringing together those local investors, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been steadily growing in popularity since. Cofounder Steve Ragan said there will be a more formal opening once management gets the go-ahead from the city that it can make

available five parking spots that are currently being configured. A local resident of 20 years, 33-year old brewmaster Ragan is more than stoked about adding to Solana Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;beer cultureâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hence, the name of the brewery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that culture that has primarily resonated with him when it comes to his craft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about this overall love of beers, between people who are brewers and also the beer geeks and beer nerds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to so many breweries and met so many brewers, and they are all so helpful and nice.â&#x20AC;? Ragan has recently received a certification in brewery science from the University of California, Davis, but he really began honing his skills at home about six years after his former co-workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother let him sit in on a home brewing session. He was hooked after that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was gone all day long and my wife was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where are you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Ragan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole day passed and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even finish.â&#x20AC;? Sure enough, Raganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife bought him his first at-home brewing starter kit that year for Christmas, and he never looked back after that. In fact, Ragan left his career as an architect at a Rancho Santa Fe-based firm several years ago to follow his passion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Architecture tanked in a bad economy, and I was working twice as hard to make less money, saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to everything,â&#x20AC;? he said. Raganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekday job wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working out, and he realized that much of the positive feedback in his life was coming from his friends on the weekends, when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have them over to try his brews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You should start a brewery,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started resonating in my head and I was thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maybe I should do it.â&#x20AC;?

Ragan had already started looking into equipment and developing a plan when he met â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and became best brew buddies with â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Williams, who works in the asset management industry. The two used to enjoy each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home brews together and talk about how great it would be to have a place to drink and share their beers other than at each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing how other breweries were growing was inspirational, and we talked about it a lot,â&#x20AC;? Ragan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started out as a light conversation, just ideas, and hav-

ing worked in architecture, I knew about zoning and planning.â&#x20AC;? Williams eventually brought Niedernhofer into the mix and soon enough those brainstorm sessions over beer evolved into a concerted effort to find a location on Cedros to start brewing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an endeavor that took about six months. And Williams and Niedernhofer were set on Solana Beach as a location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from here; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in their backyard,â&#x20AC;? said Ragan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were only looking at Cedros.â&#x20AC;? The brewery embodies a clean, industrial style to complement the steel kegs and brew equipment that are found throughout. A garage door on the front lifts to let in the sun and welcome passers-by, and the heated outdoor â&#x20AC;&#x153;backyardâ&#x20AC;? only adds to the causal, at-home feel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just wanted it to be approachable,â&#x20AC;? said Ragan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set out to make a utilitarian, functioning brewery, and it seems like everything else fell into place perfectly after that.â&#x20AC;?

When not breaking records, swimmer inspires hundreds as instructor • Van Der Byl recently honored by Boys and Girls Club BY CLAIRE HARLIN When local resident Grace Van Der Byl retired after swimming in the Olympic trials in 1996, she didn’t know if she’d find herself in the water again. But it only took one look at the ocean after moving to San Diego from Texas in 2007 to remind her that was exactly where she needed to be. “Swimming is my outlet; it’s where I dump everything,” said Van Der Byl, who went on from that point to set the record for swimming the Catalina Channel. She also became the first to complete the 120mile 8 Bridges Hudson River Swim, the longest competitive swim in the world. Her 10year hiatus also didn’t stop her from winning five U.S. Masters Swimmers gold medals and earning a nomination for 2012 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year. And last month, she garnered local recognition in the form of a proclamation from the City of Solana Beach naming a day in her honor. When Van Der Byl’s husband accepted a job at Sony and she moved to San Diego from Texas, all she wanted to do was learn to surf, and that goal ended up turning into much more. Not only does she get to surf several days a week, but she swims at least six days a week, either leaving bright and early from Fletcher Cove for long-distance treks with the North County Paddlers or spending hours in the pool at the Boys and Girls Club of San Dieguito, where she trains swimmers ages 5 to 85. “It sounds cliche, but it’s truly a dream come true,” said 34-year-old Van Der Byl, who’s training to swim the 28.5-mile Manhattan Island Marathon in June, which ranked third in the 2012 book, “The World’s Toughest Endurance Challenges.” But while Van Der Byl continues to win title after title, she dedicates most of her day-to-day focus on the hundreds of kids she coaches at the Boys and Girls Club, some of whom stole the show in late February with their resounding victory in the San Diego-Imperial Junior Olympics — the most prestigious honor in the county for a young swimmer. “This was our first championship,” said aquatics director Joe Benjamin. “When they announced the win, the kids were so excited they threw all the coaches in the pool.” Benjamin works with Grace as both a colleague and a coach at the Boys and Girls Club, which serves more than 1,300 students in its swim lesson programs and about 450 kids through its competitive swim program. Unlike many clubs and teams that rent space in multiple pools, the Boys and Girls Club is limited to one onsite pool, so classes are packed and there’s currently a waiting list of more than 300, Benjamin said. That being said, Van Der Byl’s role as an instructor is not an easy one.

“She can take a crowd of 40 to 50 young kids, which she does every night almost, and they are all fired up and all over the place, and she can get them to settle down and listen like no other,” said Benjamin, who attended Van Der Byl’s recent City Council honor with this wife and kids. “Grace is relentless. If something doesn’t work, she’ll think of another way. She coaches some of the most difficult groups … Whether she teaches a child or senior citizen, she has their respect.” Van Der Byl is also a role model for kids as they transition from early competition to the age at which they are faced with deciding whether to make swimming a long-term endeavor — and Benjamin said that is reflected by her own commitment. “Grace is the type of person,” he said, “that when she makes a decision she fully commits.” He added that he also gets the “privilege” of coaching her in her U.S. Masters Swimmers training, but he can hardly call it coaching. “It’s more like collaborating,” he said. “She really owns her career but she likes being coached and likes being coached by me because I help her pull out the training ideas she has on her own … She is one of the most committed, dedicated and inspiring people that I have ever coached and coached alongside.” Benjamin said Van Der Byl caught the attention of city leaders after Boys and Girls Club board members decided to honor her achievements. He said the club’s CEO and board are not only incredible supportive of the aquatics department, but they “understand the importance of letting local parents and community members know that she’s not only a great coach, but achiever too.” This month marks the sign-up period for swim classes at the Boys and Girls Club, located at 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, and more information is available by calling (858) 755-9371.

To Your Health: New nutritional superstars BY STEVEN PRATT, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH Spinach, salmon, brown rice and almonds are wellknown nutritional superstars. Recently, several newcomers have joined the list of “superfoods” — including a few you may not have tried. Read through the list below and consider adding some of these smart, tasty options to your diet. Quinoa A food must be something special when it earns international honors. The United Nations named 2013 the “International Year of Quinoa” to raise awareness of the many benefits of quinoa [pronounced keen-wah]. Though often considered a grain because of its texture and flavor, quinoa is actually a seed that has been cultivated for thousands of years in other parts of the world and packs an impressive nutritional punch. In addition to being a complete protein that provides all of the nine essential amino acids, quinoa has double the calcium of whole wheat and twice the fiber of many grains. It’s also high in iron and magnesium. Kale Dark leafy greens are usually nutrition superstars, and kale is no exception. A single cup of kale contains five grams of fiber, 200% of the daily recommended allowance of vitamin C and 180% of vitamin A, as well as vitamin B6, magnesium and fiber. It also contains more than 1,000% of vitamin K, which the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports may reduce overall cancer risk. However, too much vitamin K can interfere with blood-thinning medications, so check with your doctor if you use them. Kale is also a good source of copper, potassium, iron, and phosphorus, as well as the antioxidant lutein, which is believed to support eye and heart health. Swiss Chard Swiss chard is another leafy green with thick red, white, yellow, or green stalks. Like kale, Swiss chard is an excellent source of vitamins K, A, and C, and a good source of magnesium, potassium, iron, and fiber. Although kale and swiss chard do contain oxalates, which can decrease absorption of calcium and can lead to kidney stones, the amount is far less than in spinach, and as

a result the calcium in these two leafy greens is absorbed easier than with spinach. In general, the oxalates in food only decrease the absorption of the calcium found in the specific food, and not so much in other foods eaten at the same time. Sweet Potatoes Replace your white potatoes with sweet potatoes and significantly increase the nutritional benefits. With seven grams of fiber per serving, sweet potatoes have twice as much fiber as other types. They’re also high in vitamins and minerals that are good for your heart. Vitamin B6 helps keep your arteries healthy, and potassium helps your body get rid of excess sodium that can lead to high blood pressure. One medium sweet potato provides the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A or beta-carotene, one of the most powerful antioxidants believed to help prevent several types of cancer. They’re also rich in vitamins C and E. Walnuts Move over, almonds. Walnuts are heart-healthy nutritional champions, providing a good dose of the omega-3 fatty acids that may protect against heart disease, depression and Alzheimer’s, and heart disease. The melatonin found in walnuts helps to boost the immune system. Research shows that eating walnuts regularly can cause LDL or “bad” cholesterol levels to drop by as much as 16 percent. A study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology determined that adding about 10 walnuts to a meal high in saturated fat helped reduce harmful inflammation of the blood vessels. Chia Seeds Who knew that the tiny seeds used to grow Chia Pets could be so good for you? One tablespoon of chia seeds has as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal. They’re also high in omega-3 fatty acids, calcium and iron. The nutty-tasting seeds absorb liquid and take on a gel-like texture, which makes them ideal for adding to soups, smoothies and cereal. Kiwi This tiny fruit has big benefits. Among fruit, kiwifruit has one of the highest concentrations of vitamins and minerals per calorie. Ounce for ounce, kiwi provides twice as

much vitamin C as an orange and nearly as much potassium as a banana. It is also a good source of the antioxidant lutein. A Norwegian study found that eating kiwi three times a day was associated with a drop in blood pressure. Kiwi’s are also a good source of vitamin E, and also have an aspirin like effect on platelets without any of the side effects listed for aspirin and other nsaids. Steven Pratt, MD, is an ophthalmologist with Scripps Health and the author of the best selling book SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life.

Gotthelf Gallery to host anti-hate art exhibition The Anti-Defamation League’s San Diego Regional Office will host the exhibition “Speaking Volumes: Transforming Hate,” March 13-June 6, at Gotthelf Art Gallery in the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. An opening reception will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 13 with guest speaker Frank Meeink, author of “Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead.” Meeink will share his story and shed light on the ideology of extremists in the United States. The art exhibit, “Speaking Volumes: Transforming Hate,” evolved from The Montana Human Rights Network’s acquired 4,000 volumes of white supremacist propaganda from a defecting official of the World Church of the Creator. The Network approached the Holter Museum with the idea to use the books to create art for an exhibition. More than 100 artists from coast to coast responded to the museum’s open invitation to transform this propaganda into contemporary art. The reception is free and open to the public, but advanced registration is required at www.adl.org/speaking volumes. For more information, call (858) 362-1154. — From Anti-Defamation League Reports

Local boys get creative to make donation in Newtown victim’s honor BY CLAIRE HARLIN Having little to start with didn’t stand in the way of two Solana Beach elementary school students’ desire to give — and a recent, unexpected and unforgettable pat on the back has only fueled their budding generosity. When Andreas Josaitis, 10, and his brother Marcus, 8, heard about the Newtown school shooting in December, they had fear, anger and, most of all, questions. And their mother, Cecile Josaitis, struggled as much with those hard answers as her boys struggled with understanding them. “They wanted to know why,” said Cecile, a portrait painter who runs a daycare business out of her home. “We talked about the shooter. We talked about the helpers. We talked about the teachers. Most of all, they wanted to know about the children. They wanted to see them and learn who they were.” Cecile spent time with her sons reading stories online about the 20 young lives lost, and she said Marcus, a third-grader at Solana Vista Elementary, became particularly attached to the

story of Catherine Hubbard, a 6-year-old, red-headed animal lover who rode a pony named Peanut and aspired to one day open her own animal shelter. Upon seeing that Hubbard’s parents were asking for donations to be given to the Newtown Animal Center in her honor, the boys were determined to help. Helping out is no new concept for the Josaitis brothers. For years, the boys have each put $1 from their $5 weekly allowance into what they call a “give envelope” and they pool together about $100 each holiday season and go on a toy shopping spree — only they shop for every kid but themselves, gathering items for both boys and girls of every age and then dropping them off at a Toys for Tots donation site. In 2012, however, their give envelope was empty, as Cecile’s business had been hit by the recession and was slowly declining, making her unable to give her sons an allowance all year. But that was of no importance to Andreas and Marcus, who quickly came up with another idea that was particularly fitting for the season.

Solana Vista third-grader Marcus Josaitis, left, and brother Andreas, a Skyline fifth-grader, were honored on Feb. 22 at an awards ceremony in Newtown, Conn. PHOTO/CLAIRE HARLIN

The boys gathered card stock, paper, glue, scissors and glitter they had lying around the house, and spent an entire weekend making about 100 sparkly, feel-good Christmas cards, which they sold door-todoor to raise money for the shelter. “They were relentless,” said Cecile. “They went around our town, to their friends’ parents, to my neighbors, my friends, carrying around their little

binder of cards with Catherine’s picture on the cover.” Andreas, a fifth-grader at Skyline Elementary, came up with the pricing: $1 for one, $4 for five or $7 for 10. “Each one was different,” he said, adding that he and Marcus had made cards before and are “pretty good at it.” Marcus added, “I’m really good at abstract.” The boys raised a total of $77 and sent every penny to the Newtown Animal

Shelter, along with a joint letter. The brothers alternated sentences, Andreas writing in black and Marcus in blue. “We know that Catherine Hubbard wanted to open her own animal shelter, but now she can’t, so our parents wanted us to donate to you,” Andreas wrote. “Maybe you can name your center as the Catherine Hubbard Animal Center. It would make her parents less sad.” Marcus added, “We raised $77 and we hope you can do something really good for the animals with it.” Six weeks passed, and on Feb. 18 the boys received a phone call from Aaron Carlson, the founder of www.NewtownKindness. org and father of one of Hubbard’s classmates. Little did Marcus and Andreas know that their mother, Cecile, had nominated them for the Charlotte Bacon Acts of Kindness award, which was set up by the parents of another Newtown victim. I found out about the award from a friend who lives in Connecticut,” said Cecile. “Even if they didn’t win, I wanted to share their

good deed … I figured that maybe they would get a nice email response and benefit from the unexpected positive reinforcement.” Carlson actually called to invite the boys to Newtown to be honored in an awards ceremony on Feb. 22. Because Cecile was not able to afford the trip, the boys connected with the audience of the ceremony — Hubbard’s family was in attendance — via Skype. Both brothers said the experience has further motivated them to perform more charitable acts in the future. Marcus said he likes to help those with cancer, and Andreas said he’d like to help the homeless. As for their recent act of kindness, however, they said helping out helped ease the pain they felt when they thought about the victims and their families. “I imagined what it would be like to lose a family member,” said Andreas. “If I even think about it for a second I feel horrified.” For more information on the award, visit www. facebook.com/NewtownKindness.org or www.NewtownKindness.org.

An effective apology Dear Dr. Diana, My husband had an affair two years ago. We went through counseling and managed to save our marriage. But now I just can’t help but suspect that he is doing it again. I don’t trust him. Every time he Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom smiles at another woman or I can’t reach him, I feel panicked. The first year when we were in counseling, he was very patient and reassuring with me. Now, he gets irritated and even angry sometimes. He tells me that I’m insecure and have to get over it. He’s told me lately that my insecurity is unattractive. I’ve been back in counseling alone to deal with my anxiety but it doesn’t seem to help. My therapist has suggested that I need to forgive him but I don’t know how. I’m starting to feel our marriage may be beyond repair. — Anxious wife Dear Anxious wife, Infidelity is one of the most difficult problems to resolve in a marriage. And the reason has everything to do with trust. Most marriages are unable to recover. In the best case scenario, the breach of trust will continue to be a raw spot in the marriage that will get triggered from time to time. When your husband gets irritated or angry about your insecurity, he’s probably frustrated with not knowing how to make it better. I imagine that his reaction makes it even worse for you, activating your fears of losing him and not being able to count on him. In marriages that do make it, the offending party must be devoted to helping you heal – for as long as it takes. Regarding forgiveness, your husband has a role in helping you to get there. The following is an example of an effective apol-

ogy that inspires forgiveness: You tell your husband how his affair hurt you. You share with him what that experience was like for you and how it has effected you emotionally. You try to do so without blame or judgment, but letting him see your pain. Your husband listens without interrupting. He may have some questions to ask you to better understand your experience. And then, he reaches for you and tells you how your pain hurts him (not just with words but you can see the emotion in his eyes, his face). You can see that he is deeply hurt too, that he understands how you feel, and is truly remorseful for causing you hurt. Having complete transparency in your relationship going forward can help restore trust as well. This usually includes providing the offended spouse complete access to cell phones, email and physical location. If your husband has been making every effort to reassure you since the affair and none of it is working, that may be the cause of his frustration. Perhaps for you, trust will never be fully restored. And, unfortunately, that is not so uncommon. Another consideration is that your instincts are telling you that there is something still going on. I’ve seen people who are trying to repair the trust in the marriage and feel crazy because their spouse is saying all the right things but still actively having affairs. Affairs typically occur when people aren’t getting their emotional needs met, but not always. Some people are addicted to sex similarly to gambling. It offers an initial adrenaline rush. In order to heal and move forward, the couple needs to understand what led up to the affair. Was it frustration and loneliness in the marriage? Was it related to being intoxicated and having a lapse in judgment? Obviously, knowing why it happened is essential to prevention in the future. It must be very painful for you to keep revisiting the trauma and pain. Clearly, something needs to change. Returning to couples therapy might be a wise move. If

Local woman to chair Planned Parenthoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th anniversary dinner Rosanne Holliday recognized for longtime efforts to ensure â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;access to reproductive health care for allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY KELLEY CARLSON As one of the honorary chairs for Planned Parenthoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming 50th anniversary dinner, Rosanne Holliday has found a golden opportunity to bring together past and present leaders. In coordination with honorary committee member Linda Katz, Holliday is making an extra effort to encourage board officers and members from the last five decades to attend the Pacific Southwest chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration, set for May 9 in San Diego. With pride, Holliday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; herself a former leader with the organization â&#x20AC;&#x201D; notes that the local chapter is one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest affiliates, with 19 health centers in San Diego, Riverside and Imperial counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done (over the years),â&#x20AC;? she said in a phone interview, from raising money for medical centers to establishing a relationship with the Mexican national family planning organization, MexFam. Holliday has been instrumental in PPPSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success, and has been a proponent of the group for more than 40 years. Her involvement began not long after she moved from L.A. to Del Mar in 1968 with her husband, Joel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who was starting a new business, Spin Physics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and her then-8-month-old son, William. Holliday had worked as a training consultant for Head Start in L.A., and she became a professor at Southwestern College in Chula Vista after establishing a nursery school at Rady Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. While at Southwestern, Holliday invited speakers from Planned Parenthood to speak to her child development classes. And when she suspected she was pregnant with baby No. 2, in 1973, Holliday stopped by one of PPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clinics for a test on her way home from work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember my joy when Planned Parenthood called to say the test was positive,â&#x20AC;? she recalled, in a previous PP interview from about a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I screeched with delight. The woman at the other end of the phone said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you know what positive means?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I realized that most of the time, she was delivering bad news when she said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;positive.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was impressed with how careful they were (when they told me),â&#x20AC;? Holliday added in the recent phone interview. After she gave birth to daughter Katherine, Holliday continued to work at Southwestern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not without controversy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became embroiled in a struggle with the president of the college over whether I could bring Katherine ... and her baby sitter to work with Rosanne Holliday me so that I could nurse and play with her during my breaks,â&#x20AC;? Holliday explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The college Board of Trustees passed a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ruleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; known as the April Foolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy on April 1, 1974, that no employee could have a minor child on campus while they were on duty, even if the child was in the care of another adult. It became a news article in the New York Times, Ms. Magazine, and even Stars & Stripes.â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense, Holliday said, who was working 20 hours a week, often with two to three hours between teaching classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her (Katherine) to have a long time without me,â&#x20AC;? she explained via phone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run home at lunchtime. It was more of an attachment thing, and breastfeeding was crucial.â&#x20AC;? It took almost two years to resolve the issue, but eventually, Holliday presented her case to a state hearing board, and it was determined that Katherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence on campus had not affected her teaching negatively. Holliday continued to teach at Southwestern for the next 24 years, until she retired. While still a teacher, Holliday decided to become more directly involved with PPPSW, and joined its board of directors in the late 1970s. While serving as board chair from 1986-88, Holliday said some board decisions were made that directly impacted the long-term direction of PPPSW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of those is that we voted to provide abortion care ourselves, rather than referring to other providers,â&#x20AC;? she said in the previous PP interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up to that point, we had provided a substantial array of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproductive health care and edu-

cational services, except for abortion services. As a board, we formed a committee, headed by Marion Dixon, and for a year, we gathered information and studied the pros and cons of providing abortions. We had many heated conversations about this issue, but in the end, our board was unanimous with one abstention. I still remember that meeting! It was a brave decision because Operation Rescue was just beginning to picket our clinics with their anti-abortion activists literally blocking the entrance to clinics so that patients couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in.â&#x20AC;? She also noted the decision to collaborate with MexFam, the Mexican national family planning organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our board members, Phil Klauber, who was asked to share his thoughts on the last day of his board tenure, noted that our region encompassing Baja California and Southern California shared similar health concerns. He suggested that if Planned Parenthood was really going to be effective in our region, we needed to ensure services were being offered in Mexico, as well. Taking this good advice, we developed a wonderful relationship with MexFamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, Alfonso Lopez-Juarez, attracted significant foundation support and started to build programs in the Baja region that flourish to this day under the name of an organization called Fronteras Unidas Pro Salud.â&#x20AC;? Upon retirement from her teaching career, Holliday decided to continue her involvement with Planned Parenthood, citing Vice President of Development Keith Limberg and deep friendships with other volunteers as her influences. She was invited to serve on the board once again, from 2001-07. During that time, she chaired the $16 million â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caring For the Futureâ&#x20AC;? capital campaign, and her family made a leadership gift to kick it off. Subsequently, the Planned Parenthood Holliday Family Administration Building in Mission Valley was named in their honor. After the campaign concluded, PPPSW established and renovated 14 medical See PLANNED, Page B22

Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre to present Sarah Ruhl’s ‘Eurydice’ with original music by CCA student Emily Laliotis Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre will present Sarah Ruhl’s “Eurydice,” directed by Envision Conservatory’s Tarla Hill, from March 28 through April 6. Ruhl’s “Eurydice” is often performed with music, and CCA will perform “Eurydice” with original music composed by CCA student Emily Laliotis. Eurydice is the myth of Orpheus & Eurydice spun into contemporary times. At the wedding of Eurydice and Orpheus, Eurydice goes off by herself to get some water. She falls to her death and ends up in the Underworld, the realm of the dead. In the Underworld, Eurydice meets her mother, and she becomes torn between the yearning to stay with her mother and the wish to go back to Orpheus. As in the myth, Orpheus comes to liberate her from the Underworld. The Lord of the Underworld permits Orpheus to take Eurydice on the condition that he cannot look back at her as they climb up and out of the Underworld. However, as they leave Eurydice cries out for Orpheus, and he looks back. As vowed by the Lord of the Underworld, she fades away, leaving them both alone once more. Pulitzer Prize finalist Ruhl (Dead Man’s Cell Phone) creates this new take on “the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through the eyes of its heroine as she journeys to the underworld and struggles to retain her memories of her lost love.” In contrast to mythology, Ruhl’s Underworld is described as resembling “Alice in Wonderland” more than Hades. Laliotis, a junior at CCA, has composed eight songs which will be performed by the cast. The songs are in the genre of folk music, inviting to theater goers of all ages. The community is invited to attend. The shows take place at the Canyon Crest Black Box Theatre at 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego. Show times are at 7 p.m. on March 29-29 and April 5-6, with a special student show at 4 p.m. on April 4. Tickets are available online at http://www.cca-envision.org/events.html. Ticket prices are $8 for students and $15 for adults. Group and special events ticket packages are available. Call 858-350-0253 ext. 4005 to inquire about special rates. CCA Envision Theater is supported by the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, a parent-led 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive.

Local students named innovation contest finalists, need your vote to win

Officials with the Conrad Foundation selected students from Canyon Crest Academy to compete in the final round of the 20122013 Spirit of Innovation Challenge. The team, the “Back Straight Boys,” is one of 20 high school teams from around the world invited to present their innovative product at the 2013 Innovation Summit April 10-13 in Houston, Texas for the chance to win one of four $10,000 prizes. The annual competition, presented by Lockheed Martin Corporation and Battelle, challenges teams of students ages 13-18 from around the world to combine innovation and entrepreneurship along with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to create commercially-viable products to benefit humanity. The 2013 teams developed new technologies to solve challenges in the areas of aerospace and aviation, cybertechnology and security, energy and environment, and health and nutrition. Members of the team include: Sean Colford, Ethan Eptein, Brandon Loye and Michael C. Walsh. Their team, the “Back Straight Boys,” developed an ergonomically-designed seatpad that is electronically programed to give the user feedback as whether or not

The Back Straight Boys they are sitting at the computer with good posture habits. The device assists the user to improve their posture habit which in turn lowers their risk factor for developing muscle pain and repetitive stress injuries. The “Back Straight Boys” received national acclaim for their invention in the past. They are now working on the development of their business and marketing plan and streamlining their prototype for this latest competition. In addition the team’s studies have been published in the international journal, “Work: a Journal of Prevention, Assessment, and Rehabilitation.” The team has also applied for a patent, which is still pending. Before the 2013 Innovation Summit, the “Back Straight Boys” have one more hurdle to jump — the People’s Choice video contest. From March 18 – 29, the public is invited to review the profiles of the 20 finalist teams, view their product videos and cast a vote for their favorite video. San Diegoarea residents are encouraged to vote for their hometown team by visiting http://www.conradawards.org/groups. One vote is allowed per person in each challenge category. Public votes provide valuable points in each team’s overall score. “To say these young people are creating unique and impressive products only gives a piece of the education puzzle,” said Jennifer Fotherby, executive director of the Spirit of Innovation Challenge. “The practical knowledge, leadership and teamwork skills they are developing will serve them well as they become the innovative workforce of the 21st century.” For more information, visit www.conradawards.org.

Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre presents ‘Avenue Q: School Edition’ March 21-30 Award-winning Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre will present “Avenue Q — School Edition” March 21-23 at 7 p.m.; March 28 at 4 p.m.; and March 29-30 at 7 p.m. at the Proscenium Theatre. The production will be guest directed by Dana Carr, with musical direction by Stephanie Saban and puppet direction by Lynne Jennings, San Diego Guild of Puppetry. Winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. Avenue Q School Edition is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Because the original Avenue Q has some content elements that have previously made it a difficult choice for some high school productions, MTI has worked with the Avenue Q authors to create an adaptation that maintains the dramatic intention and integrity of the piece, while editing it to make it more appropriate for high school audiences and performers. Suggested for mature audiences. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.cca-envision.org/events.html or at the door.

Carmel Valley Farmers Market returns to Canyon Crest Academy BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Farmers Market has returned. Back on Thursdays, from 2:30 p.m. to sunset the Canyon Crest Academy parking lot is transformed into a market filled with everything from leafy greens to generously frosted organic salted caramel cupcakes. The market closed late last year due to a “lack of public support” but is hoping to be re-energized under new manager Raquel Pena, who also manages the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market. At its reopening on Feb. 28, there were several early birds browsing the wares before the vendors had really even finished setting up. The earlier start time is hopefully one of the changes to the market that will help it be more successful. “I’m happy that it’s open earlier because it makes it easier when I’m picking up my kids,” said Michele Schumaker. Schumaker has to pick up kids at multiple schools so she is able to fit in her shopping at CCA before picking up her Raven student and getting her shuttle to its next stop. Last week, Sunny Gal Farms had flavorful Cara Cara and blood oranges and sweet Fuji apples for the sampling, there were fresh heads of cauliflower from Suncoast Farms, bread and pastries from Rancho Santa Fe’s Loic Patisserie, Asana Bowls serving up acai bowls and beautiful blooms in buckets from Maria’s Flowers.

For those with a sweet tooth, it was hard to pass up Boucheé’s tent, where gourmet organic cupcakes, cakes, Parisian macarons and handmade caramel corn were on display. Hard to believe that chocolate cake under the glass was surprisingly sugar-free, dairy-free and gluten free. Parked at the end of a long line of tents was the In-Sliders food truck, which serves up grass-fed slider burgers with sides of truffle fries or sweet potato fries. Pasta by Design had a beautiful set-up of handmade raviolis. The raviolis are easy to take home and cook up for dinner, in flavors like porcini and ricotta, bacon and mozzarella and more. There was plenty to nibble on site as well — Baba’s Foods had hummus and pita chips and Mariskos had ceviche tubs, chile relleno and fish tacos. Bucket’s artisan fruit pops seemed to be a popular item, easy to sample and walk at the same time. The market also has nonfood items: French Basketeer had great French market baskets, La Petite Bebe had cute handmade kids clothing and Seven Hopes United offered up gifts and table décor, all fair trade. More vendors were expected in the coming weeks, goat cheese and fish were expected at the March 7 market. For more information, follow the market on facebook under Carmel Valley Farmers Market.

New twist on ‘King Lear’ takes opera form at UCSD premiere “Lear on the Second Floor,” a chamber opera by Anthony Davis (with libretto by Allan Havis) will premiere 7 p.m. March 6, 8, 9 at UC San Diego’s Conrad Prebys Music Center. Inspired by Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” Davis’s opera tells the story of Nora Lear, a neuroscientist plagued by early-onset Alzheimer’s. As she loses her bearings and autonomy, she is increasingly at the mercy of her three quarreling daughters. Nora’s late husband, Mortimer, is Shakespeare’s fool in this version, and is her constant companion as she moves through a world where the past and present blend and reality bends. The production combines live performance with video, computer processed sound, lighting, and scenic design to express Nora’s increasing disorientation. Davis’s arrangement and instrumentation reflect diverse influences ranging from classical opera to jazz to reggae. A music faculty member, Davis is an internationally acclaimed composer and pianist, whose previous operas include “X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X,” “Wakonda’s Dream,” “Amistad,” and “Tanya.” Havis, provost of UCSD’s Marshall College, playwright, and theater faculty member, also collaborated with Davis on the 2009 chamber opera “Lilith.” With musical direction by Steven Schick, and stage direction by Mark DeChiazza, the cast features soprano Susan Narucki as Nora Lear, bass-baritone Philip Larson as Mortimer, Jorell Williams as the Nurse and the Lawyer, Ruff Yeager as the Doctor, UCSD graduate students Bonnie Lander, Alice Teyssier, Tiffany Du Mouchelle and Sara Perez are the musicians of palimpsest. “Lear on the Second Floor,” is presented by kallisti, the contemporary vocal ensemble of the UC Department of Music. Tickets, $15.50, and $10.50 for UCSD faculty, staff, students, retirement association members, are available at the door, online at music.ucsd.edu and through the box office at (858) 534-3448.

Hands United for Children to hold gala benefit in RSF March 14 Local nonprofit organization Hands United For Children is preparing for its upcoming gala, only two weeks away. Friends, supporters and corporate sponsors will be gathering at 5:30 p.m. on March 14 at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. Support has come in the most generous way. HUFC Executive Director Agnès Barrelet and HUFC Marketing & Communication Director Mim Britton recently received — from one team member of local songwriter and singer Jason Mraz — an autographed Taylor guitar and strap that Jason Mraz recently used on his 2012 LOVE Tour, plus a signed photograph. Both fans were ecstatic to receive such priceless items for their live auction. Other local celebrities demonstrated their support by making generous donations for the live auction. Five-time Gold Glove winning baseball player Steve Finley will train up to 10 children for two hours and former Navy SEAL Brent Gleeson also offered a training session. Other VIP experiences for the action seekers include a South African safari package and an aerobatic flight with Team Oracle’s Sean D. Tucker, and for those who like to relax, a Resort and Spa package at Rancho Las Palmas, in Palm

Rancho Santa Fe resident Agnès Barrelet and Mim Britton from La Jolla hold a signed guitar donated by Jason Mraz for the Hands United for Children gala on March 14 at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. Desert. Renowned Bill Menish will auction many other exciting items on the evening of the gala. Local artists Ambra Tesori, Michelle Matisse, Diana Hall, Kerry Riche, Nadine Baurin, Adriana Tomazelli and Colette Kholle-Redon will also present their latest art pieces during the art show — replacing the traditional silent auction, while guests enjoy the cocktail reception upon arrival. Locally, Hands United for Children works closely with the O’Farrell Charter School, located in one of the most underprivileged southeast areas of San Diego. The top objective for 2013 is to purchase the necessary curriculum, IT equipment, furniture, and supplies for the 120 students who will start grade 10 in September 2013. In parallel, Hands United for Children will also open its first HUFC Health Clinic next September. The purpose is to provide students with free access to medical, dental and vision check-ups and treatments. Several pediatricians, dentists and optometrists have committed their time to run the HUFC Health Clinic, which is located on the premises of the O’Farrell Charter School. So, the future for the students should be all healthy smiles! For tickets or more information, visit http://handsunited4children.org/ or call (858) 876-7815.

The Grand Del Mar earns a trio of Forbes FiveStar designations, AAA Five Diamond Award On the heels of its fiveyear anniversary, The Grand Del Mar has once again achieved a trio of Five-Star awards from Forbes Travel Guide for Lodging, The Spa at The Grand Del Mar and for Addison, the resort’s signature restaurant. Among an elite group of high-end resorts and hotels, The Grand Del Mar is the only hotel in San Diego, and one of just six hotels in the country to receive three Five-Star designations from Forbes in 2013. The others include Montage Laguna Beach, Calif.; The Broadmoor, Colo.; Mandarin Oriental, Miami; The Cloister, Georgia; and the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas. Additionally, The Grand Del Mar is the only hotel in San Diego to ever achieve Five-Star status. This marks the second year that The Grand Del Mar has attained Five-Stars for Lodging; the third year that The Spa at The Grand Del Mar – a 21,000 square foot, Renaissance-inspired resort showpiece – has received Five-Stars; and the fifth year that its acclaimed signature dining venue, Addison, has earned the highly sought after designation.

The Grand Del Mar There are presently 58 hotels, 23 spas and 28 restaurants in the U.S. with Five-Star ratings. Adding to its growing award line-up, the resort retained its AAA Five Diamond rating for the fourth straight year, while Addison earned the AAA Five Diamond distinction for the fifth consecutive year. The resort celebrated its five-year anniversary in October 2012, and over a short time span has earned dozens of awards – but the trio of Forbes Five-Star accolades and the AAA Five Diamond status represent the pinnacle of its success. “Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond rankings set the industry standard, and earning them year after year firmly establishes us as a top world-class destination,” said Tom Voss, president of The Grand Del Mar. “We are immensely proud to achieve these designations and credit much of our success to our extraordinarily gracious and hardworking staff, who take true pleasure in providing topnotch service.” Formerly known as Mobil Travel Guide, Forbes Travel Guide has set the gold standard for the hospitality industry since 1958, providing objective, disciplined ratings for hotels, restaurants and spas.

Del Mar Chocolate Bar opens at the Del Mar Plaza The new Del Mar Chocolate Bar recently opened its doors at Del Mar Plaza. Similar to the Carlsbad Chocolate Bar, the confectionary offers a large selection of specialty chocolates, plus bakery goods, a full espresso and coffee bar, and an assortment of retail wines, champagnes, and ports. The Del Mar Chocolate Bar which recently operated out of a smaller store front on Camino Del Mar, moved into the larger retail space at the Plaza to accommodate expanding product lines and an espresso bar. Along with coffee, teas, chocolates, and wine, customers can expect to find novelty gifts, including seasonal gift baskets, and food items like taffy, blow pops, and brittles. Situated on the second level of Del Mar Plaza, the new location is adjacent to an outdoor patio, so shoppers can enjoy sunshine and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean while they eat and

Owner Laura Reyes says she is excited about expanding within Del Mar, and believes her business will provide a unique product to patrons of the Plaza. “Chocolates are like people, they come in different sizes. We sell our chocolates by the piece, not by the pound, so customers can build custom chocolate boxes that feel personal, not pre-packaged.” The chocolates available at Del Mar Chocolate Bar are handmade fresh in the store each morning, or will be imported from celebrated chocolatiers from around the country. For other goods, the company partners with small vendors to source ingredients locally. Del Mar Chocolate Bar is open seven days a week. It is located at Del Mar Plaza, at 1555 Camino Del Mar.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Nutrition and you: ‘Go Red for Women’ BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT L a s t month’s “Go Red for Women” is an annual February campaign started by the American Heart Association (AHA). Heart disease is the No.1 killer Peggy Korody, RD, CLT of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year, that’s approximately one woman every minute! In fact, heart disease kills more women each year than all cancers combined. Stats from 2009 (the latest available) show that $312.6 billion dollars were lost due to health care costs and lost productivity due to heart disease. What can you do to keep yourself healthy? Let’s look at five measurable eating behaviors: fruit and vegetable intake, fats and oils, sugar-sweetened beverages, fiberrich whole grains, and sodium in our diets. All suggestions are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Fruit and vegetables: aim to eat fourand-a-half cups or more a day. Fruits and vegetables are naturally cholesterol free, low in fat and calories, and high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and natural chemicals called phytonutrients. Half of your plate should be fruits and vegetables, so when you eat you should think color. Why? Because color is not only pleasing to the eye, research shows a colorful combination of fruits and vegetables can help keep our hearts, minds, and eyes healthy. (Excerpt from my “Little Hands in the Kitchen” cook book. For more, visit my website at RD4Health.com) Fats and oils are an important source of energy and are needed for the production of certain hormones. Fats and oils also aid in the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K. They also provide the essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), meaning our bodies cannot make these and we must obtain them through diet intake. Fats and oils come in multiple forms: the good, the bad, and the ugly, which I wrote about in a February, 2011 (click here http://rd4health.com/271/fat-the-good-thebad-the-ugly/) article titled: Fat: the good, the bad, the ugly. Briefly, the good: monounsaturated (mono), polyunsaturated (poly), and omega-3 fatty acids. Good sources of mono and poly are nuts, seeds, and oils, such as canola, olive, grape seed and vegetable. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of arrhythmias, lower triglyceride levels, and reduce the

growth of atherosclerotic plaque. The best source is fish; and you should aim to eat a 3.5 ounce serving of fish 2-3 times per week. The best choices would be the “oily” fish, such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, and halibut. The bad: saturated fats, these fats are solid at room temperature. Food sources include animal products (meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, dairy products, lard and butter), and coconut, palm and other tropical oils. The “bad” label is because saturated fat has shown to increase our risk of heart disease by increasing our total cholesterol and our LDL (or “lousy”) cholesterol levels. The ugly: trans fats. Currently, there are no guidelines for trans fat in our diet. Although the AHA recommends no more than 1 percent of our daily intake should come from trans fat, which is just 2 grams a day for a 2,000 calorie diet. Trans fat raises our LDL level and lowers our HDL “happy” cholesterol levels, which increases our risk of heart disease and it has also been associated with a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Look at the ingredient list on labels, if you see the word “hydrogenated”, “partially hydrogenated”, or “shortening” then this product has trans fat, even though the nutrition facts label will list “trans fat, 0g. Note: a product is allowed to say 0g trans fat if “per serving” the product contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat. Sugar: the good – whole fruits and vegetables, the bad – added or refined sugar often found in sugary drinks. Our liver is responsible for processing sugar in our diet and research has shown that when we ingest more sugar than the liver can process, it converts the sugar to fat. Some of this fat goes into the bloodstream raising our triglyceride levels, which increases one’s risk for heart disease. The bottom line: it is recommended that women should consume no more than 100 calories (six and a half teaspoons) and men 150 calories (nine and a half teaspoons) from added sugars a day, which is roughly 5 percent of a 2,000 calorie a day diet. It’s the excess that leads to the problems, and don’t forget, sugar has no nutritive value. To read more (click here http:// rd4health.com/864/sugar-in-the-news/) Whole grains: diets high in whole grains lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, and help to maintain a healthy body weight. Your goal should be 25-32 grams a day; sadly the average American only consumes 11-12 grams per day. I know it’s difficult to make all your grains “whole” on a daily basis, so aim to have at least half your daily grains be “whole.” Some good sources: popcorn (omit the saturated fat & salt!), whole grain cereal, brown rice, barley, and oats. Sodium: excess sodium (http://rd-

Amazingly, if we could reduce our daily sodium intake by 1,200 milligrams we could save $10-$24 billion in health care costs every year and keep 99,000 Americans from having a heart attack and up to 120,000 others from getting heart disease (Center for Science in the Public Interest). It is estimated that approximately 78 percent of our sodium intake comes from processed and restaurant foods. So I say “cook” (http://rd4health.com/1081/ whats-cooking/) then you can control the sodium content of your food. Some tips to help you avoid sodium: switch to herbs and spices. Studies have shown that spices have more to offer than flavor. Spices are antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory. Herbs can expand your palate and not your waistline without sacrificing flavor. Also they do not increase your blood pressure, so they do not put you at risk for heart disease and stroke. Be kind to your heart this month and every month for that matter. Remember “color at every meal” by including your fruits and veggies. Include the good fats — mono, poly and omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, and avoid saturated and trans fat. Include natural sugar from fresh fruits and vegetables; avoid added sugars found in sugary drinks and sweets and aim to make at least half of your daily grains “whole.” To reduce your salt intake, switch to herbs and spices for flavor. This is Red Dress month, which is a good time to be kind to your heart. Peggy Korody is a registered dietitian and owner of RD4Health Nutrition Counseling, LLC in Rancho Santa Fe.

Art/Architecture Show starts March 10 An Art/Architecture Show featuring the work of former longtime Del Mar resident Herb Turner (1926-2010) will be held at the Oceanside Museum of Art from March 10-May 19. A preview reception will be held on Saturday, March 9, from 5-7 p.m. According to the Oceanisde Museum of Art, “Working directly from observations of daily life, Turner’s carefully constructed scenes are imbued with social commentary, poignant messages and personal reflections. Informed by the sensibilities of the Regionalist art movement of the early 20th century, his paintings mostly executed in egg tempera, are insightful narratives of San Diego and American life. “Recognized as an award-winning architect based in Del Mar, Turner completed more than 50 stunning residential and commercial structures. Turner was a true visionary who found ways to integrate architecture within environmental settings long before the ‘green’ movement was established. OMA is pleased to recognize Turner’s artistic contributions in this significant exhibition showcasing more than 50 paintings and select photographs of his architectural accomplishments.” The Oceanside Museum of Art is located at 704 Pier View Way, Oceanside, 92054; 760-435-3720; http://www.oma-online.org/

PLANNED continued from page B15 centers, and therefore doubled the number of patients served. “It was the highlight of my 30 years with Planned Parenthood,” Holliday said in the previous PP interview. “Working with a fabulous committee of talented, generous and fun women will remain one of the most treasured experiences of my life.” And in 2001, she was lauded with the Margaret Sanger Award — named for PP’s founder — in recognition of commitment, dedication and belief in reproductive freedom. “Rosanne is one of the most dynamic, energetic, and compassionate people I have ever met, and we are so fortunate that she is a staunch supporter of Planned Parenthood,” said Darrah DiGiorgio Johnson, president and chief executive officer of PPPSW, in an e-mail. “Her work has helped provide vital health services for hundreds of thousands of women and men over the years.” “It has been my pleasure to know and volunteer with Rosanne for over 30 years,” said Katz, also a Del Mar resident. “Rosanne is an exemplary leader in every sense of the word. I love her passion for ensuring access to reproductive health care for all.” Today, the 73-year-old Holliday finds time for additional activities, along with PPPSW. She enjoys fly fishing, horseback riding and exercise classes, and she spends time each week with her family members, who also live in Del Mar. Son William is now 45 and daughter Katherine is 39, and Holliday has three grandchildren ages 4, 7 and 8. Holliday is also involved with many local groups — currently, she is on the Board of Trustees at

Scripps College, and is an active member of the Del Mar Garden Club, of which she is one of the founding members. Furthermore, she is a founding member of the San Diego Women’s Foundation, and past president of the Board of Directors for the Del Mar Foundation, San Diego Psychoanalytic Institute and the Del Mar Civic Association, and has held numerous other roles and memberships in various organizations. But Holliday still devotes a major interest to PPPSW, and as a reward for all of her efforts, she has been named one of the seven honorary chairs of this year’s celebration. These honorary chairs have held “exceptional important leadership positions, been very generous financially, and have done all of this over a period of time,” according to Limberg. “These are people who have had a strong hand in making us successful at this milestone moment in our history,” he said in an email. “Rosanne is the protype example of that.” Limberg also added: “I’ve been working at Planned Parenthood since 1979 and, I can tell you, Rosanne has been the most amazing volunteer since 1980. I have seen her engaged in countless activities. I can’t think of anyone who’s done more for the organization.” “Our work continues,” Holliday said in the previous PP interview. “We still have to stand our ground, to march, and to be outspoken about the need for every child born to be a planned and wanted child. This is a core value of mine and of Planned Parenthood. This shared value has made for a long and meaningful relationship.” For more information or tickets to the 50th anniversary dinner, visit www. plannedparenthood.org/pacific-southwest/
