RSF School to purchase iPads for students BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe School students will be making the switch from Chromebooks to iPads next year. At the June 22 school board meeting, the RSF School District board approved $352,174 to purchase 82 iPads. The cost includes trade-ins of current iPads the district owns. Six years ago, the district was

among the first to go with a 1:1 device implementation for students. The district first purchased iPads for sixth, seventh and eighth grade students in 2012 and switched to Chromebooks at grades 5-8 in 2015. RSF School District President Todd Frank said they took a two-year break from iPads and in that time the price dropped by 66 percent and

the technology got better. Technology Director Ben Holbert said they probably jumped into iPads two years too soon, purchasing the devices at the cusp of transition — in the last six years they have gained a lot of knowledge about what works best for students.

Report finds no evidence of ‘pay to play’ at Torrey Pines BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) recently completed its response to allegations that the Torrey Pines High School (TPHS) baseball team was in violation of district policies and state law. After an independent investigation by the Sobel Group, the district sent a response to the complainant Wendy Gumb that outlined there was no “pay to play” culture in the baseball program but there were instances where district policies were not followed. “The report speaks for itself,” said TPHS

Coach Kirk McCaskill. “I wouldn’t use the word ‘vindicated’ because I don’t feel like we did anything wrong. This process has been very frustrating from our perspective.” “I have nothing to be ashamed of,” McCaskill continued. “I can tell you this: pay for play has never been in existence, it’s just not how we operate. I don’t know who donates nor do I care.” Gumb’s complaint alleged that the district improperly charged students to participate in athletics, what she believes to SEE TPHS, A26

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District approved its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and budget for the 2017-18 school year over two special meetings on June 21 and June 22. The LCAP is required by the state for the district to show how it will spend the $1.6 million in state funding from the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Per the LCAP, in the 2016-17 school year all students met and exceeded all state indicators and showed increases in all groups and grade levels. Students demonstrated significant growth in math, science and English Language Arts on all state assessments (SBAC) and local assessments (MAP). While California state performance indicators show Rancho Santa Fe performing in the blue highest performance category requiring “no need for improvement,” RSF School District Superintendent David Jaffe said an organization should always look for areas for growth. LCAP goals for 2017-18 include ensuring

100 percent of students show growth on their assessments; to improve the percentage of English learners at least one performance level; and to improve school-to-home communication and have more opportunities for parent engagement. “This has been an incredible year for me,” Jaffe said, noting he capped his first year last week by attending the “sweetest” kindergarten promotion, fifth grade promotion and the eighth grade promotion, where parents and students were full of pride. “Those three events are what this school is about…To sit here in this seat, I’m humbled.” As outlined in the plan, new for 2017-18, the district will be transitioning to a new data management system called Illuminate, which will help track student progress on an individual basis and give staff a tool to provide curriculum in an “exceptional” way. The district will also develop a strategic plan for the arts and implement a new middle school bell schedule that will provide more course opportunities and SEE LCAP, A24

San Dieguito approves budget with $7.4 million deficit BY KAREN BILLING At the June 22 San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board meeting, the district adopted the 2017-18 budget in a 3-1 vote, with John Salazar voting against it (board member Mo Muir was absent from the meeting). The budget reflects revenues of $95.9 million and expenditures of $103 million, representing a $7.4 million deficit. As board members commented, things often look worse at adoption than they are at the end of the year, as the district underestimates on revenue and overestimates on expenditures. “We do have those carryover types of dollars, we’re pretty conservative and we don’t reflect those at all until they come through and by the time we do we get our first interim actuals and

start being able to reflect those, it fills in a lot of those holes,” SDUHSD board member Beth Hergesheimer said, noting that board members are able to feel comfortable about the budget because they have seen that pattern repeat itself over the years. Salazar was not convinced. Salazar said last year the district projected a deficit of $9 million and things didn’t materially change for the better — “This year we’re projecting a $7.5 million deficit, maybe things will change, maybe not,” he said. Salazar said he is asked to vote on the proposed budget, not on more money potentially coming in from state or cutting expenditures. Salazar said in the past programs didn’t get cut because there were “robust” reserves, but he is concerned that

the reserves are now in the single digits. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said that the district projects that it will be able to meet the required 3 percent level of reserves over the next three years. During public comment, parent Beth Westburg questioned how the district plans to increase revenue or decrease expenses in light of the deficit. She also expressed her concerns that the way the budget is structured is “not honest,” noting that the district does not budget all known expenses when they plan to receive donations to cover the cost of a program or item. “If the deficit is $9 million and you add in $2.5 million from the foundation, the deficit really is $11.2 million. The public needs to know that,” SEE BUDGET, A24

Special education parents continue to advocate for inclusion BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board approved its Local Control Accountability Plan for the 2017-18 school year at its June 22 board meeting.

English language learners and foster youth. Some special education parents have argued that the LCAP fails to address the needs of special education students, whom they believe to be the highest need and most under-performing population in the district. While the LCAP is created with lots of stakeholder input, special education forum parents said the LCAP team met with them just once but didn’t ask for their input. At the previous June 8 board

meeting, parents submitted a petition to the district advocating for curriculum and facilities improvements for special education students. Some parents voiced frustration that neither the budget nor the district’s LCAP was changed to reflect some of the concerns expressed. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said amending the LCAP isn’t as simple as just adding new goals as dollars are committed to those actions. He said they haven’t made changes since receiving the petition

because they need to have a plan to add services or facilities before they just plug in a dollar number. As plans develop, the district can work to put those improvements or changes into the general fund or capital budget. SDUHSD President Amy Herman said the district is open to looking at ways to amend the LCAP in future and working collaboratively with parents to making sure they are addressing student needs.

Parents, coaches express support for Torrey Pines High Foundation BY KAREN BILLING When Nicole Baril’s children got to Torrey Pines High School, she had no idea what a foundation was. She thought the Torrey Pines High School Foundation had nothing to do with her, it did not impact her kids and it wasn’t something she needed to be a part of. But as her kids moved through the school she began to understand how the foundation impacts every program on campus and benefits every kid, whether their parents donate or not. “Nobody’s child is left out. It doesn’t work like that,” Baril said. Recently Baril completed her first full year as the executive director of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation and has focused on spreading the message about what the foundation really is, communicating with parents about what they are working toward and what they do. She has worked toward bringing more families together and building a community, getting rid of the annual fundraising gala that they used to hold because of the stigma that the event was exclusive. Instead she aimed for a more inclusive event, bringing everyone together on the Torrey Pines High School campus this year for the free Spring Fling event with student performances rather than paid entertainers. In addition to supporting sports, this year the foundation was able to purchase laser cutters and saws for the engineering and auto and wood tech classes, sewing machines for the theater department, a pottery wheel for ceramics, oxygen sensors for AP environmental science and biology, graphing calculators for physics and math, headphone sets for world languages, six Chromebook carts, Reality Works infant simulators for child development classes,

and KitchenAid mixers, pasta machines and food processors for the culinary arts program. They funded programs for student connectedness, brought in speakers such as former NFL player Todd Marinovich and provided start-up costs for new Pathways in engineering and business. In recent months, Baril said she has been fighting a lot of “misleading” information about the foundation as it was part of a complaint made by Torrey Pines parent Wendy Gumb concerning the school’s baseball team. Among her concerns about the baseball team and allegations of “pay for play” and conflicts of interest, Gumb’s complaint also focused on the role of foundations in district athletics. In light of the complaint and investigation, Gumb and San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board member John Salazar proposed not having CIF sports this coming season until the “broken” system is repaired. According to one of the CIF operating principles, commercial relationships should be monitored to ensure against “inappropriate exploitation” of the school’s name or reputation and there should be no “undue influence” of commercial interest. Gumb has argued that the district is in violation of CIF rules as the foundation is a commercial interest and that the four high school foundations control the sports programs as they are entirely dependent on them. Baril said that the allegation is not true. “We don’t have any control over it. We don’t hire coaches. I don’t even know who half of the coaches are,” Baril said. “We manage the fundraising. We act as the fund manager for the money [sports programs] raise.” SEE TPHS FOUNDATION, A25

Local couple devoted to helping foster youth

BY JOE TASH When their children grow up and require less attention, many people take up a hobby. But Bill and Gretchen Morgan took on a cause — helping foster youth transition to independent lives. For the past several years, the Morgans have worked with their church, Solana Beach Presbyterian, and local nonprofit groups on a variety of programs aimed at helping foster youth in San Diego County deal with a variety of challenges. One of their favorite endeavors is through a group called Just in Time for Foster Youth, which has the “My First Home” program to assist young adults in the county’s foster youth system transition to their own apartments. Volunteers such as the Morgans gather donations, buy household items from furniture to kitchen and bathroom supplies, and help the newly independent adults move into their new apartments. “We come in and we provide everything,” said Gretchen, 56, who runs her own accounting business when she isn’t organizing some type of effort to help foster youth. “It’s really fun.” Over the past several years, she said, the couple has helped about 25 young adults who have aged out of the foster care system move into their own apartments. But the work doesn’t stop there. The couple are involved in such activities as helping foster youth get driver’s licenses and prepare for job interviews, and they also help

Bill, 63, a former college swimming coach who now works in residential real estate sales, said the various programs provide a community to support foster youth as they strive for successful lives, whether that means a college education or a good job. “We love it because we are able to be part of that community, it’s fulfilling, it’s exciting,” said Bill. “You get to do things that have an impact on their lives going forward.” Other services that groups such as Just in Time provide are helping foster youth learn to manage their finances, establish credit and

save the money for an apartment security deposit. “A lot of these kids can end up homeless without this kind of support,” said Bill. The work of volunteers such as the Morgans is essential to providing the support that foster youth need, according to Don Wells, executive director of Just in Time for Foster Youth. “Just in Time would be unable to serve over 700 individual young people each year without the commitment of resources and relationships provided by volunteers like Bill and Gretchen. They truly create the extended family we hope for that changes the perspective of transition-age youth who have been disappointed so many times in the past

by people who ‘didn’t show up.’ Bill and Gretchen show up, year after year in exceptional ways,” Wells wrote in an email. Gretchen said she first became involved in helping foster youth in her 20s, but then put aside that volunteer work as she and her husband raised their two daughters, both of whom have now graduated from college. Several years ago, she joined the Foster Youth Ministry at her church, a group she now leads. Among the church group’s efforts is hosting an annual Christmas celebration for foster youth, including a party, complete with gifts and stockings. The couple have even rented a storage unit where they keep donated furniture and household items which are used to furnish the apartments of newly independent foster youth. Providing a support community is so important for foster youth, said Bill, because many of them don’t have the family support that other young people enjoy. And leaving them without support can have negative impacts, such as causing them to forego an education or even end up on the street. “We really believe it’s important for the community to be involved. We need individuals in the community to understand the depth of the problem and the depth of the need,” Bill said. Those who want more information about the various foster youth programs, or to donate furniture or other items, can contact Gretchen at gmorgan@gretchenmorgan.com.

Physicist Sir Roger Penrose discusses the universe at UCSD lecture Takeaway: Computers will never equal the human mind BY WILL BOWEN If you are worried that the day is coming when computers, robots and cyborgs will take over our world and tell us what to do — relax! You can put your mind at ease. According to Sir Robert Penrose, a mathematical physicist from Oxford University in England and a longtime collaborator of Stephen Hawking, even though computers may think way faster than we do and easily beat us in chess, they will never equal the human mind. This is because the human mind has “quantum” abilities and can make quantum leaps of insight, understanding and creativity, while the computer (being only a linear ultra-rational dull plodder with a simple binary — on/off, yes/no, 0/1 — paradigm) can only do what it’s told. At least until scientists build a quantum gravity computer that, like us, can think in six directions at once and link completely unrelated topics (think ham bones and harmonicas), which is just what they’re planning on doing right here in La Jolla! Penrose spoke about these issues and other deep topics, June 5, as a guest of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Imagination at Hojel Auditorium at the Institute of the Americas on the UC San Diego campus. He jumped right into the thick of things discussing quantum mechanics, relativity, superimposition, entanglement, black holes, string theory,

googolplexes, particle accelerators, Riemann spheres, twistors, Planck units and Schrödinger’s cats. Although his discourse spared no one their ignorance of physics and was understandable by only a rare few, the slides he showed of simple and elegant drawings he made of things like electron guns, particle accelerators and black holes were marvelous and mesmerizing. Penrose’s artistic side can also be seen in his interlocking Escher-like tiles, which adorn the mathematics building at Oxford and will shortly be installed at the main transit terminal in San Francisco. Penrose said when he was younger, he and his father shared ideas with the great

3D-illusion artist M.C. Escher, and influenced him to do some of his greatest work, such as the painting “Waterfall,” which shows an impossible scene of a fall feeding itself. Associate director of the Clarke Center and a professor of neuroscience at the UCSD School of Medicine, Erik Viirre, M.D., Ph.D., introduced the evening’s events. Viirre said the Clarke Center, which is now five years old, was created to bring together the subjects of cosmology, physics, visual art and neuroscience to shed light on the act of imagination and to honor the memory of British science fiction writer and futurist, Arthur C. Clarke. The Clarke Center is intimately connected with the Clarion Science Fiction Writer’s Workshop (the

Viirre shared that he met Clarke 15 years ago at Clarke’s home in Sri Lanka. He then posed the question to the audience: “Who here has had their life changed by Arthur C. Clarke?” About five people raised their hands, including Penrose.

CCHS football standout Tate Haynes takes on a new role BY GIDEON RUBIN The quarterback of Cathedral Catholic High School’s football team helped pull off one of the most stunning comebacks in state championship history. Tate Haynes drew on summer camp training drills with ex-Marines and team meetings with a sports psychologist that instilled in him and his teammates the indefatigable mindset that they enlisted in overcoming a 14-point fourth quarter deficit in 38-35 overtime victory over St. Mary’s of Stockton in the Dec. 16 Open Division 1-AA championship game at Sacramento State. The comeback win culminated a perfect 15-0 season. “We had been down before,” Tate said. “I don’t think there were many people that didn’t think we were going to win that game.” Tate, now an incoming Boston College freshman prospect, is taking on a new role outside of sports. Tate is spending part of his summer teaming up with his father, NFL Hall of Famer Mike Haynes, on a prostate cancer awareness campaign. Mark Haynes is a prostate cancer survivor. The Urology Care Foundation (the official foundation of the American Urological Association) sponsors the campaign annually in June, which is Men’s Health Month. It is the first time Tate has been involved in the campaign, appearing with his father on radio and TV interviews. Mark Haynes, now 63, was 55 at the time of his diagnosis. His doctors caught the

disease early and were able to treat it. Tate said his father played a big role in his football and life development. The young football prospect is also a talented musician, playing piano and guitar, performing at private parties. “He really just helped me more as a life coach the last four years,” Tate said. “I can’t even imagine what my high school career would have been like without dad around.” It is an important reason why Tate has joined the campaign. His goal is to help educate people about the disease and encourage men to discuss it with their doctors.

Tate Haynes (second from left at graduation) with his family. “For dads who are listening, anything that’ll just get them to have a simple conversation with the doctor, it all starts with a simple conversation,” Tate said. The conversation could save lives. Mark Haynes acknowledged that the disease didn’t register on his radar at the time of his diagnosis. “When I was diagnosed with the disease I’d never heard of prostate cancer, I didn’t even know where a prostate was located in my body,” he said. “I had no idea what the organ actually did for me.” As a teenager, Tate is not at risk of developing the disease anytime soon. But his involvement in the awareness campaign

can make an important difference, recruiting young people to be involved in a conversation that impacts family members of those who experience the disease. “It affects families, so the more people who know about the disease, men and women, boys and girls, the more likely they’re going to catch the disease when it’s treatable. That’s really the goal, that’s our goal, to change the discussion, to change the amount of the discussions. “The more young people we can get involved and the more women we can get involved, the more the message can spread.” Tate counts his father’s presence in his life as a blessing. Having an NFL Hall of Famer to learn about the game from across the dinner table is a resource few have. Through his father, Tate has met other former and current NFL standouts, including Tom Brady. He’ll continue to draw on what he’s learned from his father as he takes his career to the East Coast. “I’m excited, it’ll be a new chapter in my life,” Tate said. “It’ll be tough leaving home but I’m excited about Boston and the new opportunities and new friendships that I’m going to build.” He’ll also draw on his experience being part of a season for the ages at Cathedral Catholic. “It’s great if your team is really close, and it’s great if you have a team with great athletes, but if you have a team with great athletes and they’re all best friends, it’s like a match made in heaven for a perfect season.”

Village Church in RSF to host career-building event for youth

The Village Church of Rancho Santa Fe is hosting a free career-building event Sunday, July 30, where successful entrepreneurs and industry leaders will meet with teens and young adults to share inspiring stories of how they practice their Christian faith in the workplace and advice on landing your desired job. The event is part of the church’s new Faith and Work Initiative featuring members of the congregation reaching out to the next generation of leaders. “Today’s job market is so competitive that young adults need to focus on preparing for a career while still in high school. The Village Church can respond to that need by leveraging the professional richness our congregation provides,” explains the Rev. Dr. Neal Presa, associate pastor. Presenters will include leaders in the real estate, biotech, legal, software and entertainment industries. In addition to a Q & A panel, each speaker will present an

overview of job opportunities in their industry and address how faith has played a role in their work life. Teen participants also will receive advice on preparing for tests such as the SAT, MCAT, LSAT and GRE, and all attendees will have valuable networking opportunities with panelists. “As Christians, we are called to love God and love our neighbor in all that we do,” adds Presa. “The Faith and Work Initiative will help reframe our thinking about the workplace so everyone can live out their faith in every part of their life.” The free event is open to everyone from age 15 to 30. It will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Village Church campus and lunch will be provided. Registration is now open. Register by emailing hollic@villagechurch.org or call the church office (858) 756-2441. Visit villagechurch.org for more information. The Village Church is located at 6225 Paseo Delicias Rancho Sante Fe, CA 92067.

Globe-trotting TPHS alumna releases debut novel

COURTESY PHOTOS

“The Atlas of Forgotten Places” by Jenny D. Williams

tunein tunein

BY ROB LEDONNE Throughout her life, Jenny D. Williams’ passport has collected a litany of stamps from across the globe. A graduate of Torrey Pines High School who also played soccer for the San Dieguito Surf for eight seasons (including helping the Surf become national champs in 2000), Williams has had stints in Asia, Central America, New York, Germany and Colorado. However, it was her time in Africa that left the biggest impression. “(After graduating from UC Berkeley), I quit a job in book publishing and traveled to Africa on a one-way ticket. I spent eight months backpacking across the continent and ended up in Kampala, where I spent six months with the Lutheran World Federation, a non-missionary humanitarian organization,” said Williams, who holds an MFA from Brooklyn College and currently resides in Seattle. “Part of my job was to travel to sites all over the country and in South Sudan, interview people who were involved in the LWF’s Jenny D. Williams projects, and write human interest stories.” While in northern Uganda’s Kitgum district, Williams witnessed firsthand the polarizing volatility of the region, arriving after a ceasefire had been reached between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the country’s government. According to Williams, it was a time of relative peace. And yet, “the devastating effects of the decades-long conflict were persistent.” It was her experience in Kitgum, as well as a stint in Garamba (a national park that housed white rhinos before their population was decimated thanks to poaching), that laid the roots for her debut novel. Titled “The Atlas of Forgotten Places,” Williams describes its epic story as part

political thriller, part love story. “It’s set against the backdrop of ivory smuggling and civil war in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo,” she says. “It’s about two women from different worlds who become bound in a quest to save their loved ones.” Having never written a novel before but determined to learn, Williams penned “The Atlas of Forgotten Places” during a two-year period where she found herself working as a copy editor for a book publisher in another part of the world: Marburg, Germany. “I had a flexible schedule, which was ideal for the kind of immersive work needed for the novel,” explained Williams, who started off writing vignettes, short stories and essays about Kitgum and then expanded from there. “When it actually came down to writing those drafts, each one took me about eight months from start to finish, writing three to six hours a day.” After a three-year period of sending out queries, Williams found a publisher in Thomas Dunne Books and the fruits of her labor will be released to the world on July 11. Making the venture all the more worth it is the critical praise Atlas is receiving, including a rave review from influential Publisher’s Weekly for one, which called it “Gritty and intricately plotted.” While currently working as a writer for Google, Williams is enjoying the end of her long journey to bring her story to life. Of course, she’s also already plotting her next literary opus. “I do have other novel ideas simmering and have started researching one,” she said. “My husband has requested that I try not to write about a place where I’ll need a military escort to visit... We’ll see.” Williams will be speaking about her novel at the Del Mar Library (1309 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, 92014) on Saturday, July 29, at 1:30 p.m. Williams is a former Teachers & Writers Collaborative fellow and recipient of an Elizabeth George Foundation grant for emerging writers. “The Atlas of Forgotten Places” is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and will be available wherever books are sold starting July 11.

Cake4Kids expands to San Diego to offer birthday experiences for foster youth BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY hen Alison Andreas heard that there were children who had never celebrated their birthdays properly, she decided to do something about it. The Cardiff-by-the-Sea woman set a goal for herself this year to provide 100 birthday cakes and other treats to San Diego foster children and other kids in need. “I’ve always had a thing for foster kids, and last year my daughter and I did our own homegrown fundraiser where we made pies to buy school supplies,” she said. “I read a story when I was young about kids in foster care having to pack their clothes when they moved between homes in trash bags, and it just broke my heart. I feel like these kids have enough challenges as it is, so I feel like for them to have a little bit of normalcy and feel good and special, any little thing that can be done to help them is valuable.” However, realizing she had a large task on her hands, she began doing some research online to find people with similar intentions. Her search led her to the Bay Area-based Cake4Kids, a nonprofit that donates baked goods to children in need for their birthdays. After Andreas contacted them earlier this year, they agreed to let her expand the program to San Diego. The program serves foster and homeless children, as well as kids who are in domestic violence and human trafficking

situations, Andreas said. Since bringing it to San Diego, Andreas has recruited a handful of volunteers to bake goods for children at Casa de Amparo in San Marcos and San Diego Youth Services in Point Loma. She said she is also receiving requests from other similar organizations. Children are invited to fill out an order form with what kind of treat they want — cakes, brownies, cookies and cupcakes — along with options for frostings, flavors and decorations. Past themes have included Pokemon and the band 21 Pilots, Andreas said. “Birthdays are special and should be celebrated,” she said. “Anything we can do to make these kids feel special is important. It takes a whole host of services to help kids in foster care and homeless kids. This is just one of many services that can help them feel like they’re having a normal childhood and celebrating a special day.” She added San Diego is the sixth largest city for homeless youth in the nation, and there are an average of 3,000 foster kids in the county each year. Most of those children spend an average of three birthdays in care, she said. Joanne Fodor, a volunteer baker from Encinitas, said she hopes the children realize their importance and that their lives are worth celebrating. Anthony Parham, foster care program manager at San Diego Youth Services, said the birthday celebrations “mean the

He just celebrated his 12th birthday. ... This program reaches out to the underserved and underprivileged in a way that we may

not be able to serve them. There is love, compassion and kindness in these cakes, and it’s a world of wonder for the youth receiving them.” So far, Andreas has recruited about 45 volunteers, including members of the San Diego Cake Club, but is looking to get to at least 200 volunteer bakers in the next year. Bakers also do deliveries, she said. Michelle Grad, an Emergency Room doctor and mother, said she takes time out of her busy schedule to volunteer with the program because she wants to teach her children the importance of giving back. “My husband finished Sparta300 for Charity, and we, as a family, did Bike for Mike,” said the Cardiff-by-the-Sea resident. “My son did his first 5K for lymphedema research two years ago. And my husband and I are biking tandem for arthritis from San Francisco to Los Angeles for the second time in September. It is important to walk the walk if you expect your children to follow in your footsteps. With this group we can participate and have family time experience as a bonus.” Andreas invites any bakers who might be interested in volunteering with Cake4Kids to visit Cake4kids.com and sign up for an orientation. “Right now I’m just getting off the ground, and if I make close to 100 cakes this year I’ll be very happy,” she said. “I’d like to see what we can do with the volunteers we’re able to recruit this year.”

Local students take learning and service global with Pacific Ridge Travel Program Rancho Santa Fe residents Olivia Carter and Cole Hardin are two of the more than 570 Pacific Ridge School students and staff who spent the past few weeks experiencing academic, service and cultural experiences abroad. During the school’s year-end global travel period, students in grades 7-10 travel to Big Bear (seventh grade), Washington D.C. (eighth grade), China (ninth grade) and the Northern Sierras (10th grade). Juniors and seniors have the option of choosing from numerous school-designed trips or designing their own year-end trips or internships. Olivia Carter, a Pacific Ridge senior, traveled to Morocco for a cultural immersion program led by Pacific Ridge math teacher and native Moroccan Noureddine El Alam. The group learned about Moroccan hospitality, which focuses heavily on

familial and societal bonds, through living with a homestay family at the foot of the Atlas mountain range in Boulemane. While in Boulemane, students helped make repairs on a local school. The group’s visit coincided with Ramadan which gave students firsthand insight and opportunities for conversation about Moroccan religious and cultural practices. Students enjoyed bonding with their homestay families during the breaking of the fast over a plentiful meal once night fell. They also experienced the souks of Marrakech and the Roman ruins of Fes. The students made deep connections with their Moroccan families and plan to keep in touch over social media. While many Pacific Ridge students traveled internationally, some students chose to travel closer to home. One group, including Rancho

Leave the fireworks to the professionals

ith the 4th of July just a few days away, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District would like to remind everyone that fireworks, an exciting and traditional part of our Independence Day celebrations, are best left to the experts. Aside from professional displays, all fireworks are illegal in San Diego County. This includes, but is not limited to, firecrackers, torpedoes, sky-rockets, Roman candles, sparklers, snap caps, poppers, and sky lanterns. Legal firework shows done by professional pyrotechnicians can be viewed throughout San Diego County.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an estimated 17,800 reported fires were started by fireworks in 2011. These fires resulted in an estimated 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in property damage. In addition to those fire injuries, thousands of people, including children and teens, are injured every year while using consumer fireworks. Even something as “harmless” as a sparkler, which burns at about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, can cause critical injuries and pose a serious fire hazard. Fireworks in unmarked paper most likely are homemade fireworks and can

have flash powder on the fuse. Fireworks that have gotten damp or wet are unstable and shock sensitive and can go off at any time. Due to the high risk of injury and fire presented by these items, especially with the current drought conditions and dry brush, possessing fireworks in San Diego County is a misdemeanor. In addition, any individual who starts a fire through the use of illegal fireworks may be required to pay for the firefighting efforts. By leaving the fireworks up to the professionals, we can all enjoy a happy and safe 4th of July. — Submitted by the RSF Fire Protection District

Clarifying how SFID’s 9% revenue adjustment translates into varying percentage rate increases Regarding the June 22 article, “Water Board approves budget containing rate increase,” I wish to explain the inaccuracies behind the following statement: “…and two 9 percent rate increases already instituted in January and last June.” Santa Fe Irrigation District’s (SFID) approved 2016 Cost of Service Study (COSS) set forth a three-year revenue adjustment of 9%, 9%, 9%. Last June’s 9% revenue adjustment resulted in a wide percentage of rate increases. Single family residential customers, depending on the size of their meter and the amount of water consumed, had water bills that ranged from decreases of – 4.5% to increases of 24.3%, a 28.8% swing. In general, the larger the meter and the higher the water consumption, the higher the percentage rate increase. However, the June 2016 rate increase also resulted in customers with the smallest meter, and the smallest water consumption, having their water bills increase 20%. The 2017 9% revenue adjustment did not

OUR READERS WRITE result in the wide range of rate increase percentages experienced June 2016 to December 2016. This current year’s rate increase percentages generally range from 8% to 12.5%; higher rate increase percentages fell to customers who used more water, regardless of the size of their meter. At present, I am unable to determine the actual customer bill impacts of the COSS proposed 2018 9% revenue adjustment, as district staff has yet to run the recently adopted wholesale pass-through increases through the COSS rate model. Why is this distinction between a 9% revenue adjustment and variable rate increase percentages important? Well…if you’re the owner of a large parcel and have 2017 water bills that are based on a two-year accumulated rate increase in the

Setting the record straight

complimentary email from a reader about my recent columns concluded with a P.S. that surprised me: “I know you’re Republican but …” Then there was a critical reader who wrote anonymously online that my columns should be dismissed because I’m a “biased conservative” journalist. Biased I own. I’m an opinion columnist. But conservative? Those who know me found it laughable. I’ve been called a lot of names over the years, but this is the first time I’ve ever been called a Republican or a conservative. Let me set the record straight: I am not politically conservative or Republican. I have never voted for a Republican in a partisan race, ever. Once, I confess, I did register Republican. That

was in 1980 so I could vote for my political hero John Anderson who was running for president at the time. Once he went independent, I re-registered where I’m at today – No Party Preference. That does not mean that in non-partisan races I don’t sometimes vote for someone who incidentally happens to be Republican. When I know the candidates personally and am convinced of no agenda to attack the social causes dear to my heart, I’ll do it. Many are registered Republicans primarily because they believe in strong fiscal policy and are not interested in limiting or infringing upon the rights of women, gays, immigrants or minorities. Women’s rights, religious freedom, free speech, tougher gun control laws, sexual orientation, the ACLU, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, universal health

neighborhood of 30% – 35%, reading that “…two 9 percent rate increases already instituted in January and last June” probably smarts. If you’re the owner of a small parcel and use very little water, knowing that your 2017 water bill is based on a two-year rate increase of around 28% probably likewise smarts. In fact, having run the numbers on 15 different single family residence customer classes, not a one of those 15 examples actually resulted in a 9% increase! The SFID Board of Directors has been discussing rate impacts for several board meetings and two special meeting workshops. The June board meeting agenda included a comprehensive schedule for a new COSS to be undertaken throughout 2018, to be adopted by November 2018, to potentially take effect January 2019. Marlene E. King SFID Board Member, Div. 3, Fairbanks Ranch and large portion of the Covenant care, and separation of church and state are tops on my list. A conservative clearly I am not. But tops also on my list is accountability in government spending – which apparently trumps everything else I stand for and places me in the Republican camp. Many of us are socially liberal and fiscally conservative – or as I prefer to say, fiscally responsible. This is the problem. Why is it hard to accept that people can hold two seemingly opposing viewpoints at the same time? In public education, teachers unions have done an excellent job of polarizing people into two strict classifications. Anyone who opposes union policies must be against students – and therefore is labeled ultra-conservative. People are more complicated than 100 percent one way or the other and cannot be pigeonholed into clearly defined categories with solid boundaries. These are false dichotomies. No one is that one-dimensional. Unions represent teacher interests, not students first. Those of us who point this out are labeled as something we are not.

FROM BUDGET, A2 Westburg supplied as an example. “You have to be responsible and tell us exactly what your expenses are because Foundation money is not guaranteed. We need to know how much it costs to run the district.” Dill said that donation revenue has grown and shrunk over the years. During the recession, the foundations talked about their struggle to receive donations and that meant that both the foundations and the district scaled back on what they were able to offer. “Through all of that, our foundations never failed to live up to their promises on things they said they would fund,” Dill said. “But we do adjust our expectations based on what the foundations say their willingness and ability is to provide that funding. If the foundation tells us they have no willingness or ability to pay for something then my answer is ‘OK,’ because these are voluntary donations and so we scale back or we fill the gap ourselves.” Salazar said he had heard a lot that night about money being taken away from athletics and arts and parents

FROM IPADS, A1 lost when they made the switch. Holbert said the Chrome touch screen technology was inferior to the iPad and hand annotation of documents, critical in the classroom, was difficult. There were limited apps, the devices lacked a well-integrated front-facing camera and they weren’t as durable or reliable as iPads. Holbert noted that 90 percent of the iPads from the first three years of the district’s 1:1 program are still operational after five years. “Chromebook have been a nightmare at home,” said parent Tom Powell. “They are not nearly as reliable… The comparison between the two in terms of usefulness, it’s night and day.” Holbert took a second look at the iPad and saw Apple responded to losing market share to the Chromebook by improving its enterprise management system, providing productivity tools for free and introducing a $294 iPad with volume education pricing. For the keyboard needs, Logitech has partnered with Apple to provide a $99 rugged hard-wired keyboard case that allows charging while the keyboard is in use. The iPads will enable efficient testing of fourth through eighth grade

“

This year we’re projecting a $7.5 million deficit, maybe things will change, maybe not.

having to fill that gap. He said the district is fortunate that parents are very generous. “This school board decided to spend more money on labor and now I believe we’re spending something in the way of 91 cents out of every dollar, 91 percent of our money goes to all of our employees and their benefits. We could’ve changed that. We could’ve had 85 percent and we could’ve had millions of dollars more to spend on athletics or art or on real classrooms for our special needs kids. We made this decision and we’re making another decision tonight to accept a budget that’s deep in debt.” “I think we made mistakes a few years ago and it’s going to continue having this deficit until we re-address that problem. I think we’re spending too much money on our labor and we need to adjust it.”

students, provide for easier hand annotation of material on the high-quality touch screen and will allow teachers to use Apple Classroom. With Apple Classroom, teachers can keep track of what each student has on their device,watch them work in real-time, share e-books and websites for instruction, lock apps and share students’ work as it’s happening on an Apple TV in every classroom. Teacher Steve Riviere said that collaboration is what they really lost when the district switched to Chromebooks. “We really lost the ability to showcase high-quality work in the flow of the lesson, getting the kid to project their work so everyone could see it. It wasn’t reliable with the connection the Chromes had with the Apple TV, it just was the circle of death, we lost the flow,” Riviere said. “It turned into something that teachers stopped doing because it was too difficult to get the kids to project their work.” Teacher Jackie Mendez said they have never had the ability to manage and direct before on a device the way Apple Classroom and iPads will allow. She said it will increase productivity to be able to show students on their devices all at once. “The amount of time and efficiency is instrumental in

the classroom,” Mendez said. Regardless of the chosen device, the district was facing a buy for the next school year. To maintain status quo and replace Chromebooks would cost $131,000 over the next three years compared to $254,000 for the iPads. With the new iPad purchase there will be 400 devices for K-5 students, 250 for 6-8 students,100 for staff and iPads tagged for science, a mobile cart and spares. In K-3, there will be 20 devices per classroom to enable the whole class to participate in learning together and in small group activities — they are not 1:1. In fourth grade, there will be a transitional year where each student is assigned a device to use only at school while grades 5-8 receive the 1:1 iPads to take home. Holbert said the technology plan for the coming years also includes refreshing student work stations in 2018-19. The district has about 300 desktop computers that were manufactured in 2005. The biggest complaints about the desktops are that they take teaching time away as many times students are watching the “wheels spin” — some teachers say it takes up to 15 minutes to start up but Holbert said it usually takes him three minutes to get the computers going.

FROM EDUCATION, A2 district has budgeted for the cash register requested by one special education student for better vocational training and Herman toured the adult transition portables at Earl Warren Middle School that many parents complained about. Herman said while the portables are still under construction, they are exploring bringing more natural light into the rooms with more windows and doors with windows. For the LCAP, parents requested that special education be broken out separately so that “poor proficiency” rates would be acknowledged and so that the district could craft specific goals to address student achievement and improvement in career readiness. Dill said the expenditures in the LCAP are tied to the $1.9 million in supplemental funding they receive for English language learners and foster youth. But the district has a $138 million budget and all of the special education expenditures are included in that $138 million. There is some overlap as some special education students fall into the LCAP categories of low income or English learners but Dill said programs designed for special education are worked into the overall budget. In her public comment, La Costa Canyon

FROM LCAP, A1 academic support throughout the day. “It’s amazing how many people have approached me and expressed their delight in the new bell schedule,” said board member Scott Kahn. “I’ve heard nothing but positives from the community.” As Superintendent Jaffe begins his second school year, he will embark on imitating an organizational review process to develop an action plan for all aspects of the school. The comprehensive self-evaluation will be a process similar to the WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation process that high schools, charter and private schools are required to go through — Jaffe has assisted in 13 different WASC processes and has led three, including nine visits to other schools to help evaluate their programs. RSF School District President Todd Frank said the review process still seemed a little “undefined” to him and board member Tyler Seltzer wanted to ensure that the time spent on the review won’t just generate some grand, 1,000-page report but something useful for the district. Jaffe assured them that it won’t be a 1,000 page dissertation and he plans to

parent Lucile Lynch mentioned how the California Department of Education’s special education division is moving to include students with disabilities in the LCFF system and school districts such as Carlsbad Unified have included special education students in its LCAP goals. Special education parents recognized that the district had to meet a July 1 deadline on its LCAP so rather than jeopardize state funding, they suggested a compromise. Parent Sophy Chaffee said she would like to see the district’s new special education team seek input from the special education parent forum and work to draft one-to-two new LCAP goals to meet the needs of chronically under-performing students. “These plans can work and can drive improvement. Adding a goal or two to the LCAP isn’t a panacea to the problems we presented but taking these actions would show us that you’re listening to our concerns,” Chaffee said. “The clock is ticking on our draft petition – we would rather work with the district than file formal complaints.” Dill said he liked the offer to work with the parent forum in the fall and learn more about where there are gaps in performance and make specific goals about how to raise student achievement and performance and what supports are necessary.

deliver an action plan for the district by December. In August, he will present the detailed plans for the organizational review. “The power of it is in the process and people coming together and analyzing our programs,” Jaffe said. “We end up speaking the same language, we end up being advocates for the work that we do.” At the June 22 meeting, the board also approved the 2017-18 budget, which will have a “small, planned” deficit for next year, with revenues of $11.55 million and expenditures of $11.77 million. The reserve balance is at $1.2 million. The district will see a slight decrease in staffing next year — due to a different structure for paraprofessional aides the district will move from 100.22 full time equivalency (FTE) in 2016-17 to 96.12 FTE for 2017-18. Frank voiced concern about the reduction in FTE but Jaffe noted that there’s no loss of service, the level of service has actually improved as they have adjusted the system. The school is also looking at a slight drop in enrollment, from 655 students in 2016-17 to 642 in 2017-18. Enrollment has decreased over the last 10 years from a high of 804 students in 2006-07. Moving forward the RSF Education Foundation will contribute $1 million a year,

plus $165,000 from the Endowment. The foundation contribution is a decrease of $300,000 a year — the lower contribution is a based on fewer district families and, additionally, the foundation did not meet its $1.3 million fundraising goal last year. According to Barbara Edwards, foundation development director, the foundation has raised just over $1 million this year although fundraising does continue until June 30. Edwards said she was encouraged that the foundation has seen 91 percent participation among new families and this year’s art auction was the most successful it has ever been, bringing in $70,000 (compared to $35,000 the year prior). The foundation has also tripled its revenue from community partnerships and doubled its in-kind donations, “that is a real bright spot for our future,” Edwards said. The Rancho Santa Fe School Endowment Fund also reached $5 million this year and its second contribution to the school was made in the 2016-17 school year. “Everybody is wowed by this school,” Edwards said, noting that it’s incumbent on them to convey the message of how significantly different the school would look like without the foundation’s support.

www.rsfreview.com FROM TPHS FOUNDATION, A3 Several parents and coaches came to the June 22 board meeting to express their support for the foundation and for sports in the district overall. One of those boosters was Ed Burke, the longtime football coach whose name is on the field at Torrey Pines — he coached the Falcons for 21 years before retiring in 2007. “I’m old enough to have been there when the foundation began. To tell you the truth I was a little opposed to the foundation when it began,” Burke said. “I thought it was wrong to go out and ask parents to contribute.” As Burke noted, Proposition 13 in 1978 changed everything, greatly affecting financing for public schools. He said he did everything he could to raise money for the football team — hosting a golf tournament, holding a rummage sale and having students park cars for 1984 Olympics equestrian events when they were held at what is now the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club — “I even had a Coke machine in the gym before they made me get rid of it,” Burke said. Burke said he struggled with asking parents to donate when the foundation first began, but he said, “The foundation turned out to the the best thing that ever happened to Torrey Pines.” “The foundation has done wonders. Music programs that had been cut were re-established, more athletic teams were established. Torrey Pines is America’s finest public school,” Burke said. “And it is that way because of the parents that support that school and have supported that school in every way possible.” Torrey Pines football coach Ron Gladnick said he has been frustrated by the “white noise” that has permeated the district recently and the allegations of “pay for play” that he said have tarnished reputations. Gladnick said he has no idea who gives what in his program and he doesn’t care. After tracking his time last year, Gladnick said he earned a “whopping $1.05 an hour” and what he did earn he donated back for his kids, his “150 sons.” “I will give 50 times what we ask for this year because our students, my sons, are going to be CEOs, managers, congressman, senators, leaders…they are worth the investment,” Gladnick said. “I have been a passive observer and I won’t be anymore. It’s a known fact there are ideological differences in this room and ideological differences are OK. But we coaches, parents, teachers, administrators, board members have a higher purpose to serve. And that higher purpose is we create an environment of excellence by doing right by kids.” “The district and state are not going to fund music, art, drama, cheer, athletics, it’s left to us. And we have a beautiful community of people who love to do it,” he continued.” Don’t be swayed by the white noise and the clanging bell.” Ann Lopez, a cross country parent, reiterated a finding of the investigation into Gumb’s complaints, that donations do not impact team placement — students try out for the team first and then parents are later asked if they would like to donate. “It’s definitely not required. I know there were kids on the team that would have been unable to attend meets that were far away if it hadn’t been for the donations given to the foundation,” Lopez said.”And I know that those kids had opportunities given to them as a result of the generosity of other families at Torrey Pines.” During public comment, parent Beth Westburg offered an opposing view — she said the problem is not about the programs, it is more about transparency. “As a parent I would like to know where my money is going,” Westburg said. “I don’t know who pays for what — I have no idea and nobody knows where the money goes, what it’s spent on and that’s the problem. It’s not the coaches. It’s not the teams. It’s the transparency of the district and the lack of it.” Westberg said that there is a lack of knowledge on the district level, that they don’t know how much it costs to run programs as they don’t budget for athletics. “The district is on the hook to pay for it (athletics) regardless of whether the foundation supports it,” Westburg said. “The coaches and foundations want the world for our kids and ask for everything because they can. The district has a fiduciary responsibility to make sure all the rules followed.” Baril said the foundation works to be as transparent as possible. The foundation works on budgets with every program liaison and school site administrators based on needs. Every year, they are audited by an independent auditor and the financials are shared online. They don’t report details of every check written and donors are kept private — however, an honor roll on the website lists donors at various levels. Baril said in light of the recent investigation, the foundation is much more sensitive about the “ask”— the foundation is working to train team liaisons on their donation appeals so they never appear to be mandatory in any way. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said in his 16 years in the district, he has been overwhelmed by parent support through the foundations and said that he will always accept any donation. “We do budget for athletics. We do pay for coaches and for transportation and other things. Do we ask for donations? Yes we do, to make those programs better. I can’t think of any program throughout the district whether its arts, athletics, academics, robotics or career technical education that would be made better by less funding. Our district is not able to provide all of the things that we need so our parents have done a great job of providing that additional support…Our programs would not be the same without that parent support.” During public comment at the meeting, Gumb said she agreed with Coach Gladnick about doing right by kids and that’s it’s important to get it right. In her response to the investigative report, Gumb said she would still like more clarity on how the foundation’s budgets are set, where the booster funds are recorded and that donations be made public record. “For the last six months I’ve been here at every board meeting except for one really advocating for transparency and to get it right,” Gumb said.

FROM EDUCATION MATTERS, A22 to believe that many union policies have not been good for public education. These same people can defend and champion hard-working teachers while simultaneously casting a wary eye on union motives. Twisted logic Criticizing school board members who happen to be Democrats and are aligned with union demands does not mean one is anti-teacher. It can simply mean opposition to reckless spending of taxpayer money. And there’s been plenty of that in local school districts. In the San Dieguito Union High School District, the vast majority of teachers are excellent, committed, devoted even, to their students and public education. But many of us who applaud the work teachers do were appalled when the school board approved the 12.5 percent wage increase in the last union contract. To call that irresponsible is not the same as saying teachers are not respected. Teachers picketing outside San Dieguito board meetings last fall held signs blasting SDUHSD trustees Mo Muir and John

FROM TPHS, A1 be a violation of the Free School Guarantee. Gumb included as evidence a February email from the Torrey Pines High School Foundation baseball liaison that said “please bring your checkbooks,” asking for a minimum of $695 to help cover the $85,000 cost to run the baseball program. Based on the findings, the district did not deny students participation in the TPHS baseball program nor did it provide them with special treatment based on whether they provided donations to the TPHS Foundation, engaged in fundraising activities held by the foundation or participated in fee-based club programs run by the foundation. “We are pleased that the independent investigation findings confirm what we knew to be the facts. The evidence supports that students who have not donated received equal opportunities as those that did,” said TPHS Foundation Executive Director Nicole Baril. “Hopefully this brings clarity to the community that the misinformation communicated in the media was misleading and had no merit.” Gumb is not in agreement with the findings and has appealed to the California Department of Education. Gumb has also requested further clarification and investigation into several issues in her complaint. "We are not done with the district, they need to be held accountable for what transpires on their campuses. They can’t continue to blame the foundation,” Gumb said. “The foundation is made up of good parents that are just trying to give their students the best possible education. It is not their fault when the school district is in collusion with private people to mislead the public.” Among the findings of the report, there was evidence that coaching vacancies have not been internally or externally advertised for the past three school years, however, all coaches hired did go through the district’s regular interview and hiring selection process. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the district will take corrective measures to ensure that all school site coaching vacancies are advertised as required. There was also evidence that one of the TPHS coaches charged for private lessons at school facilities on non-school hours without submitting a facilities use permit. The district will take corrective action with that employee. In addition, the report said there was evidence of pre-enrollment contact with students as part of their involvement with a

Salazar, one of which read: “John Salazar voted against district fiscal solvency.” Given rising pension costs and declining reserves in the district’s general fund, it’s twisted logic to claim that Salazar voted against fiscal solvency. Rather, it’s the board majority who “voted against district fiscal solvency” by approving the massive raise for all employees, not just teachers, which is costing the district $6.5 million annually. I don’t agree with everything the board minority says or does, but in this case they were right to oppose the massive wage increases. In a letter to the editor in this newspaper last fall, a writer said, “When an overwhelming number of my district’s teachers do not support, do not trust, and do not have any confidence in Muir’s and Salazar’s leadership, it should be of great concern to all our community.” A bit of reframing is in order. If the local union and its teachers take a position against particular school board members, it should cause voters to ask themselves why the union doesn’t like them. That’s where the concern should be. Unions use their power and significant financial influence to

Gumb said everything started in October 2016 when she began asking “very discreetly” about the use of the school batting cages by travel ball teams, who seemed to have access on a regular basis and she wanted to know if they had acquired the necessary facilities use permits. “It kind of unraveled from there,” Gumb said. She said she began doing her own due diligence research discovering it appeared the batting cages had never been approved by the board or the Division of State Architects (DSA) and that it didn’t seem as though coach hiring processes were followed. She said she also had a lot of questions about the role of the foundation in school athletics. Gumb said she decided to submit her complaint to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) as she felt her questions were being dismissed by the district. Over the holiday break she submitted a 16-page complaint backed by over 500 documents to CIF. CIF submitted it to the district anonymously but Gumb said she was “outed” by district staff. She said once the baseball coach found out it was her, her son was “blackballed.” She describes her son as a “16-year-old kid who loves baseball — baseball is the reason he comes to school.” She said the response to him has been fairly negative but she knows her son is a strong kid that can handle it. “I don’t believe in handouts and I constantly tell my son he has to work for what he earns,” Gumb said. “I cannot write a $10,000 check to pay for special privileges. I don’t think anyone in a public school should have to.” After her complaint was filed, baseball tryouts were held on Feb. 21. Her son did not make the roster, one of only three cuts the team made, all of them from the class of 2018. The investigation found no evidence that the foundation informs coaches which students donated and in what amounts. The report found that three to seven students per year do not donate. “There is no evidence that failing to donate to the foundation has had any effect on any of these students’ participation in the TPHS baseball program,” the report said. Gumb countered that if the district cross-referenced those players, they would see that they are paying fees to participate on Del Mar Powerhouse or Solana Beach Cardinals, teams that TPHS coaches are affiliated with. While there was no evidence of “pay for

persuade voters to elect school board members who are in effect the teachers’ bosses. Nice and cozy. Teachers unions like to claim the moral high ground, saying they represent the best interests of students. But unions exist to promote policies on behalf of teachers. Using children as pawns to advance their own union interests is a manipulative tool that attempts to guilt citizens into voting for hand-picked school board members who are fully aligned with the union. There has been a dereliction of duty by school board members who vote lockstep with union positions, to the detriment of school district financial stability. In San Dieguito, escalating pension contributions and dwindling reserves, coupled with increased reliance on parent donations, prove the point. Is it possible to recognize unions and sympathetic/accommodating/compliant school board members for what they are – and still care deeply about students, teachers and the future of public education? I believe the answer is yes. Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

play,” Dill said that that the foundation’s requests for donations could have more clearly informed parents that their decision to donate or not donate would not affect their ability to effectively participate in the program. At the June 22 board meeting, Torrey Pines golf coach Matt Chess, the baseball coach prior to McCaskill, spoke on his behalf. “My friend Kirk McCaskill loves his kids first and second, never wanted to lose a game,” Chess said. In an interview, McCaskill said he made every attempt to “stay above the fray” as the investigation continued during the team’s season, although it was difficult. He said at one game against La Costa Canyon, he was even heckled. “I try not to respond.” Gumb’s son was a student in his baseball PE class and McCaskill said he did his best to “protect him and to protect the players on the team.” “We’re doing the best we can as coaches,” McCaskill said. “I’m proud of what we have at Torrey Pines, both the success that our players had on the field and in the classroom. I’m very proud of the work our coaches put in, we do a really good job as a group and set high standards both academically and athletically.” Two Torrey Pines players earned scholarships to Ivy League schools and two players were drafted by Major League Baseball — pitcher Kyle Hurt was drafted by the Phillies in the 34th round although he is headed to USC and Jacob Boone, a potential fourth generation MLB player, was drafted by the Nationals in the 38th round but is attending Princeton. “I couldn’t ask for anything more for our student athletes,” McCaskill said. Torrey Pines batting cages never approved Gumb’s complaint regarding the batting cages has proved to be the most illuminating to the district —many of the board members were not even aware they existed. The cages were installed in 2013 as a result of a $400,000 donation from a parent. Per the report, at the time district staff assigned to oversee the project determined that the project was exempt from Division of State Architect (DSA) review as it was a “fencing project.” As a result of Gumb’s complaint, DSA evaluated the project and determined that, under current regulations, the district would need to apply for approval. SDUHSD has since submitted the batting cage’s plans to the DSA — they were approved in February of this year. At the June 22 board meeting, parent Beth Westburg said she has nothing against the

batting cages and is glad that the school has them but she wanted the district to be held responsible for not following the rules. Westburg said she couldn’t believe that the board was unaware of the $400,000 batting cages installed on campus or that no one questioned their existence or who had paid for them when rumors trickled out that students were being kicked out of the cages by club team coaches or being used by minor league baseball players during school hours. “This leaves me wondering, is the district aware of what’s happening on their own campuses? I have to ask myself, what else is being hidden from the public? What other deals have been made in the backroom?” Westburg asked. “This is past sloppy.” Dill said at the time the batting cage donation idea was presented, he worked with then-Torrey Pines Principal David Jaffe. The cages went through the facilities planning department and the construction department but it was never presented as a donation item for the board to approve. “We didn’t present it formally as a donation as we should have and that is something that we have admitted we did not do correctly,” Dill said. Dill said at the July meeting, the cages will be on the agenda to accept. According to Baril, local youth teams have usage of the cages averaging 200 hours per year, bringing in approximately $25,000 a year to the foundation. The report found some of the uses appear related to an agreement between the foundation and the community member who provided the funding. Dill said the district will take appropriate corrective actions to ensure that all future facilities uses are in accordance with board policy. The district will also review whether any entities should have been charged for their use of Torrey Pines facilities, whether or not those activities were sponsored by the foundation. Gumb was disappointed that the investigation did not address her complaints about coaching responsibilities and about the “biased culture” and reports of players from previous seasons facing similar behavior. “The district’s silence on this topic leads me to the conclusion that they agree that there was a hostile environment on school grounds that impaired the access of pupils to an equal educational opportunity,” Gumb said. She said she will continue to seek answers on the lack of transparency in the foundation and would like to see the investigation fully completed.

Blind surfers ride the waves in Carlsbad BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY When Nicole Bissett returned to her home of San Diego after a year away for work, she knew the beach would be one of the first places she would visit. On June 4, she climbed on her surfboard, paddled out in the water and stood up, catching waves and feeling free from life’s stresses. She felt happy and safe, even though she was in complete darkness. Bissett has been legally blind since birth. The Mira Mesa woman began surfing a few years ago with the San Diego Blind Community Center, and took part in a the 22nd annual Blind Surf event on Sunday at South Ponto Beach in Carlsbad. “I gotta have me some beach. I love it. It feels great, nice and refreshing to have some time outside. I love anything to do with the ocean,” she said.

“Everybody thinks, ‘Oh, you’re blind. You’re in a prison of darkness.’ It’s not like that. It’s all in what you make it and your attitude toward life. If you want to feel sorry for yourself, sure, that option is there. But there’s a lot to do in life.” Bissett was one of 15 blind and visually-impaired surfers who braved the waters at the event, where 105 volunteers from Swami’s Surfing Association assisted them on the shore and in the water. For each surfer, between five and seven volunteers surrounded them on all sides to guide them on the waves. Mikey Tom, who volunteers with Swami’s and has assisted at the event for four years, said Blind Surf is great for people who are not in the water often to “feel stoked” off being in the ocean, the environment and riding waves.

The Cardiff resident said he’ll sometimes ride waves with his eyes closed to have a similar experience as the blind. “It’s just someone experiencing something that I’ve never experienced on a wave,” he said. “Paddling out, closing my eyes, taking a wave and closing my eyes is a completely different feeling than having sight. Just to be able to pass that feeling off onto someone else, so someone else feels good about what they’re doing and get confidence for other things in their life, is great.” Matt Allen, owner of Maui Surf Academy in Encinitas, said working with the blind is a reminder of something regular surfers take advantage of. “I’ve definitely done it so much where surfing is comparable to a drug,” he SEE SURFERS, B3

Author remembers Paris in upcoming anthology BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY or most people, Paris is often thought of as a romantic, spontaneous city. For Michelle Gable, a trip to the city in France proved stressful and a little too planned. But it all paid off in the end. Gable, who lives in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, recounts her 2014 trip to Paris with her husband, parents and two young daughters in a story called "Too Much Paris" that is part of an upcoming anthology, "A Paris All Your Own." The book, which includes several Paris-themed essays written by celebrated female authors and edited by Eleanor Brown, will be released July 4. Gable, a Torrey Pines High School alumna who began writing as a child and who formerly worked in finance, said she's excited to be included. "Eleanor Brown decided she wanted to put together an anthology of authors who wrote fiction about Paris," she explained. "We were each tasked with writing a memoir piece of sorts of 20 to 25 pages." The anthology also includes stories by Meg Waite Clayton, M.J. Rose, Susan Vreeland, J. Courtney Sullivan, Paula McLain, Therese Anne Fowler, Lauren Willig and Julie Powell. In her story, which Gable said is more on the humorous side than the others, she narrates a trip to Paris, which she took with her family to celebrate selling her first published novel, "A Paris Apartment," which was a New York Times and USA Today bestseller. Unfortunately, she and her family had different expectations of the sites they would see and the activities they would participate in, so the trip ended up being more of a headache, Gable remembers. "We weren't having fun because we were running all over the city," the 42-year-old said. "We learned the difference between a vacation and traveling. It wasn't relaxing but, in the end, it was worth it." Gable, who also wrote the fictional novel "I'll See You in Paris," said she believes many mothers can relate to this story because of the flurry of activity that can surround a vacation.

FROM SURFERS, B2 said. “It’s like you always need more, get a little jaded and forget that it’s so amazing that we get to do this. For them to step in and be out of their comfort zone, you get to feel that right alongside them and it kind of brings you back to the beginning of why you started surfing in the first place.” For many of the blind surfers, like Bissett, riding waves is not an everyday task. But Scott Leason has continued regularly surfing even after losing his sight more than two decades ago. Leason, 61, of City Heights, lost both of his eyes nearly 24 years ago when he was shot in the head by armed robbers while working at a convenience store. After recovering, he was determined to surf again, even through the new obstacles. Since then, he has won two world championships, one U.S. championship and has inspired the creation of sight-impaired surfing divisions. He will compete in his

Michelle Gable, a Cardiff-by-the-Sea-based author, shares a non-fiction story about a Paris vacation in an upcoming anthology, “A Paris All Your Own.” She described the writing process of "Too Much Paris" as cathartic and fun because it gave her a chance to express her family members on paper. However, she also said it was difficult to describe their personalities in the 20 or so pages she was allotted. "I joke that I must have something that I'm still holding onto," she said. "It was really fun to get out." A book release event, which Gable will be present at, will take place July 13 from 4 p.m.-5: 30 p.m. at Le Parfait Paris, 555 G. Street in San Diego. The cost is $40.

Leason has worked with Surf Coach Pat Weber of the San Diego Surfing Academy for 16 years and considers Weber his “eyes” when he’s out in the water. “I totally have to listen to everything that he’s saying and execute his verbal commands,” he said. “My success to me is that he gets me in a wave, I pop up, I drop in and I’m standing.” Lucy Dolan, who surfed for the second time at the event, said she believes blind people can do anything they set their minds to. Even as she fell off her board, with the volunteers around to catch her, she continued smiling. “It was kind of hard today because I have a bad left leg, but I said I was going to get on there one way or another,” she said. “I was scared but all of the help around me made sure I stayed on that board and stayed safe.”

Abartis Chemical Company helps homeowners and businesses save distressed palms and other trees

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY STACEY PHILLIPS Since establishing Abartis Chemical Company in 1989, Alfred Alyeshmerni has helped many homeowners and businesses revive and restore their palm and olive trees. “Palms are high value assets and a cornerstone to majestic estates in Rancho Santa Fe and neighboring communities,” said Alyeshmerni. “Unfortunately, the palms, which are native to the Canary Islands, are susceptible to a fungal disease called Fusarium Oxysporum.” This fungus is pathogenic to palms and many other plant species. Once exposed, the palms may deteriorate rapidly, which is characterized by unilateral frond wilt and eventual death. “Fusarium spores may become airborne and spread to otherwise healthy palms,” said Alyeshmerni. “Extreme care must be undertaken to prevent the spread of the disease by following proper pruning procedures.” Alyeshmerni said the company has been on the forefront of research in this area and has pioneered many cutting-edge treatments to

target Fusarium Oxysporum disease in Canary Island Date Palms. “We have experimentally tested and refined our treatments through collaboration with plant pathologists, major agricultural laboratories and distributors,” he said. He has also developed a treatment program for olive and pepper trees infected with Xylella Fastidosa. “Olive trees create a Tuscan ambiance such as in The Bridges community in Rancho Santa Fe where we are presently treating several hundred trees,” said Alyeshmerni. Throughout the years, the company has treated several thousand palms and olive trees, and Alyeshmerni said only a handful, about 10-15, have not survived. Local resident Dennis Samaritoni reached out to Abartis Chemical Company a few years ago when he noticed that two of his palm trees might have a problem. They weren’t looking as green and robust as they initially were so Alyeshmerni came out to examine the trees. The trees were also tested by a soil and plant laboratory in 2013. The pathology report showed both Canary Island palms were infected by fusarium and Alyeshmerni

With help from Alyeshmerni and Abartis Chemical Company, the trees are much healthier. “One of the palms is flourishing and the other is nicely recovering,” he said. Steve Hodsdon also found success using Abartis Chemical Company. About three years ago, Hodsdon lost one of his Canary Island palms and asked Alyeshmerni to inspect the other nine palms on his property. After finding out that four others had fusarium, Alyeshmerni came up with a program to save them and the company began treating the diseased trees. “He is a miracle worker for trees,” said Hodsdon. “They are now the best-looking palms in the neighborhood. Hodsdon has been very impressed with the

service he has received. “The company has been very thorough. They show up on time, they do what they say they are going to do and they clean up very well,” said Hodsdon. “They are the best in their industry, without exception, in saving and servicing trees.” “It is important for homeowners to begin treatment promptly before the disease progresses,” said Alyeshmerni. His company’s program includes prophylactic treatment of infected and healthy trees in order to contain the disease. “I love to see how happy people are when their trees recover and are healthy again.” For more information and a free evaluation, visit www.abartischemical.com or contact 1-800-CHEMGROW (1-800-243-6476). - Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Jorge Pardo leaves his mark at the Lux Art Institute BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY hen Jorge Pardo was invited to spend time as an artist in residence at the Lux Art Institute in Encinitas, he had a set goal in mind: to create an original, new art piece in just five days. The Mexico-based artist spent June 12 through June 17 staying at the Lux to work on the large canvas-based piece. Other artists have in the past chosen to spend up to a month there. “I gave myself a week to make something that would be interesting, and that’s really the only agenda here,” he said in an interview on the day he he arrived at the studio. “The interesting thing is to use the space and to make something here. They’re very flexible about how and what artists do. Residency can be a lot of things: it can be a retreat for people or it can be work.” For Pardo, residency experiences can tend to make him anxious because he’s set in a space without his usual machinery and team, he said. A majority of his work is usually produced by machine but finished by hand. He uses a variety of tools and materials, like a wood router and laser cutter. He also regularly works with a printer based in Germany.

because you only get one shot. It’s not just about the fetish of these stupid machines and visual space. What’s important is to be in it and to do that is a pain because you have to work with people and you have to understand these machines and fix things when they go

wrong.” During his time at Lux, he created a 5-foot-by-30-foot scroll work that is covered with silkscreen ink in bright colors such as pinks, purples and oranges. He had planned the work for months, with materials sent over ahead of time,

to make the most out of his stay at the Lux, he said. However, he didn’t finish the piece. Instead, he decided to let children visiting the museum contribute to it. He will return later this summer to put on the finishing touches, museum staff said. Also on display are five other pieces, which have been shown in galleries around the world. These include more traditional canvases, light works and lamp works. Pardo said he enjoys using palettes rather than individual colors. “I like using colors to kind of make a pleasurable access point in the work in a way,” he said. “I don’t use color as an investigatory thing. Color is something I use like a fisherman uses a lure. You need something to attract the fish.” Pardo said he doesn’t expect his art to evoke any specific emotions onto his viewers, but rather he hopes the audience stays long enough to really take the pieces in. “I don’t think works should tell people how they are or what to do,” he said. “I think that’s a dead end. If you just go and get lost in the piece, then the artist is good and there’s more pleasure in that.” Pardo’s work will be on display at the Lux Art Institute, 4550 South El Camino Real, Encinitas, through Aug. 5.

Women's Museum of California to hold show, exhibit celebrating ‘Women of the American Military’ The Women’s Museum of California will be celebrating the heroism of women in the United States military through the different uniforms women wore from World War I to today. This military-themed version of the Women’s Museum’s Historical Clothing Show will take place outside Baracks 16 in Liberty Station on July 7 at 6:30 p.m. The uniforms that will be worn for the show are on loan from the Veterans Museum in Balboa Park as well as from several local women veterans. The show coincides with the opening of the

museum’s latest exhibit, Heroine in Arms: Women of the American Military. This exhibit will explore women’s service within the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Airforce, highlighting the advancing roles women played as the 20th century progressed, from World War I Army nurses to today’s women combat officers. The exhibit will be in the Women’s Museum gallery from July 7 - Aug. 27. Women's Museum of California is located at 2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16, San Diego, 92106. Visit www.womensmuseumca.org

Speaker to discuss ‘Choosing the Right Writers Conference for You’ On Thursday, July 20, Antoinette Kuritz, the founder of the La Jolla Writers Conference, will offer tips on getting the most out of attending writers conferences at the next program meeting of the San Diego Professional Editors Network (SD/PEN). The meeting, “To Attend or Not to Attend: Choosing the Right Writers Conference for You,” will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the San Diego County Health Services Complex. The right writers conference can not only be pivotal to a writer’s career, it can be a great boon to editors looking to find new clients. But between travel expenses and the cost of conferences themselves, attending a conference can be a major investment. What should you look for, how can

you vet a conference, and how do you best take advantage of what a conference has to offer both editors and writers? Antoinette Kuritz is the founder of STRATEGIES, a firm that focuses on literary development, publishing, business modeling, marketing, and public relations. She has worked with self-published, small press, and NY Times bestselling authors. This past year, The Kuritz Group,Inc., launched Nightstand Press. The cost is free to SD/PEN members and only $10 for nonmembers. The evening will include snacks and beverages as well as the opportunity to network before and after the presentation. RSVP via email to pr@sdpen.com no later than July 19.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Alyson Goudy

March 18, 1933 - April 2, 2017 RANCHO SANTA FE — Alyson Goudy, wife of the late Dr. George Goudy, passed away at her home surrounded by her children on April 2, 2017. She is survived by her daughter, Thiere Goudy; daughter and son-in-law, Paige and Wil Spink; son and daughter-in-law, Blaise and Molly Goudy; as well as five grandchildren. Born in San Diego, Alyson grew up between La Jolla and Gadsden, Alabama. She was a graduate of the University of Arizona, Pi Beta Phi chapter president, and an honorary alumni of Washington State University. Alyson was always involved in contributing to her local community wherever she lived. She brought a sense of

elegance and creativity along with her passion to serve. She served on the boards of Country Friends, UCSD Friends of the Library, Stanford Museum, Junior League, National Charity League and WSU Foundation. Her tenure on the board of Country Friends spanned over 20 years. Alyson was

recognized as a Woman of Distinction by the Salvation Army in 1988. Her creativity extended into every facet of life Alyson dove into. She was a savant in the kitchen, cooking ‘by the seat of her pants’. She brought southern elegance to what would later be known as fusion cooking. She had a unique ability to dive into the cupboards and create a world class meal without looking at a single recipe. Later in her life Alyson followed her father Louis J Rice Jr’s passion in the financial markets, primarily stocks, researching companies to invest in, and sharing her ideas with her children and her Blue Chip Broads investment club. Wednesday Club, Country Friends fashion shows,

Sundays in the Park fundraisers, gardening, travel and many other activities filled her days. Never without a project or endeavor, Alyson began fly fishing and golfing after her husband George passed away, even landing large steelhead on the Klamath River. Alyson’s life will be celebrated with a service at 10:00am on Saturday, April 22, 2017, at St Peters Episcopal Church in Del Mar. In lieu of flowers, Alyson requested donations in her honor to The Country Friends, PO Box 142, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

The great burger flip flop

he beloved burger is America’s sweetheart of foods affirmed by the 14 billion consumed yearly, and a nationally designated month (May) honoring the grilled sandwich. In my globetrotting days, I met many strange burgerfellows — some caught me off guard, taking my stomach by surprise, while others thankfully never got passed my lips. At a trendy Florida eatery, I scarfed down what I thought was a turkey burger, but was shockingly a gator burger. In Italy, I mistakenly ate a goat patty thinking it was chicken. During my youth in the Northeast, I narrowly escaped eating a black bear on a bun. While beef is still the top choice for burgerphiles, other vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and carnivorous options are entering the field in a flurry. Be adventurous for July 4th and beyond with this line-up of sweet and savory hamburger alternatives that’ll sure to please even the most discriminating palates. ■ Take it with a Large Grain: Move over soy boys. Use a confetti of red, white and brown quinoa, the Incan mother grain as a base for this protein-dense, gluten-free veggie burger. Blend with organic eggs, chopped onions, roasted corn and red peppers, and shredded Jack cheese, then top

with heirloom tomatoes on a crusty sourdough, slathered with a kicky chipotle mayo--even the most diehard meat lover would not feel deprived. Brown rice is chewy and hearty, same with bulgur wheat, buckwheat and assorted ancient grains from teff, farro and kamut to amaranth, blue corn and black barley as a satisfying meat alternative. These can be combined with legumes, peas and beans (lentils, chickpeas, English peas, kidney, navy and black beans), along with roasted root vegetables (sweet potatoes, parsnips, rutabagas, turnips, beets), and assorted herbs and spices (garlic, cayenne, turmeric, celery salt, smoked paprika, ginger, mustard seed, basil, Italian parsley, rosemary) for a vegetarian’s paradise on a bun. ■ Cap it Off: Nothing imitates meat better than mushrooms with a rich beefy taste, color and texture. A whole Portobello marinated in a red wine or balsamic vinaigrette, and grilled to a soft pink center is then dressed with fresh watercress, and truffle aioli on a crusty focaccia roll. Or construct a patty with a mix of chopped mushrooms (crimini, button, oyster, shiitake, trumpet), shredded mozzarella, bread crumbs and spices for a moo burger doppelganger with an antioxidant oomph.

■ Eggplant cut crosswise about 1-inch thick, marinated and grilled, topped with baby arugula and a drizzle of yogurt Meyer lemon sauce on a toasted baguette is another satisfying choice. ■ On the Wild Side: If you have a gamey palate, try lean, grass-fed bison, a native of North America and Europe, and relative to water buffalo, sheep, and cattle. Bison resembles beef in heartiness, but with a sweeter flavor. Pasture-raised, immune boosting “lamburgers,” that are lean and juicy pair well with Moroccan flavors from ginger, turmeric and cumin to paprika, saffron and cinnamon. Top with refreshing mint leaves and tzatziki yogurt and cucumber sauce or hummus, and stuff in a pita pocket. Low-fat, tender, protein-dense elk meat from the deer clan also makes a hearty change up from mainstream hamburgers. For a rich smoky flavor add chopped bacon to the patty, and accessorize with hickory barbecue sauce and caramelized onions. ■ Plenty of Fish in the Sea: For pescavores best choices include sweet Dungeness crab meat, or a firm fish like mahi mahi, ahi tuna or wild-caught salmon. These can be filleted and seared, or either finely ground or coarsely hand-cut and formed into patties. Marine burgers pop with Asian accompaniments like scallions, pickled daikon radishes, and wasabi mayo. ■ Sweet Endings: A dessert burger will hit the sweet spot with grilled pineapple rounds, peach halves, or mango slices drizzled with a caramel or hazelnut chocolate sauce, or a berry puree sandwiched between a brioche bun.

Knock-Your-Socks-Off Caramelized Onions ■ Ingredients: 3 large Vidalia or other sweet onions, thinly sliced; 2 tablespoons each, sweet butter and virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar; 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves; 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika ■ Method: In a covered skillet, heat butter and oil on medium until melted, then add onions and thyme. Cook covered for 10 minutes. Stir, add sugar and heat covered for another 30 minutes until golden. Add wine vinegar and seasonings. Cook for another minute, stirring well. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Talking to Your Kids About Terrorism After the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, I was interviewed by a local news station regarding the psychological effects that the reporting of such terrorist activities has on kids. In the short time allotted on live TV, I didn’t say all that I wanted. A month since the bombing, terrorist acts continue. For the many parents and young people who still have questions, I want to get more in depth on a topic that unfortunately remains highly relevant. How might young people react to the Ariana Grande concert bombing? Concerts are very special events for young people, a place where they can let their guard down and really have fun in a relatively safe environment. An act of terrorism such as this may destroy this sense of wellbeing and safety

at concerts and other public events. Terrorism is a form of psychological trauma. What is psychological trauma? It an overwhelming event that exceeds one’s ability to cope. The world becomes random, uncertain, and unsafe. Such perceptions may lead to depression and anxiety, especially after repeated or long-term exposure to trauma. Children who have experienced another major stressor, such as a move to a new school or the loss of a family member, are more at risk, as are those who tend to be anxious or sensitive. What signs of psychological trauma should parents look for in their children? Signs of trauma in children of all ages are stomach and digestive distress, frequent sighing, sleeplessness, nightmares, nail biting, increased crying and irritability, and acting out. Social withdrawal and reduction in activities are also indicators. What should parents do to help their children and themselves deal with the threat of terrorism? Standard advice is that we should avoid watching the news and should focus on the fact that the probability of being in a terrorist

what is going on. Affection, laughter, and play almost always are good ways to connect.

Routine and structure are important for all children, especially children who are very young. Spend more quality time reading, cuddling, and playing with them. Tell them where you are going and when you will be back. If you are going to be late, make sure you or the caregiver lets them know. Answer questions about terrorism with just the basics and emphasize to your child that she is safe.

On a practical level, because terrorism can happen anywhere, have a family emergency plan. Hopefully, and in all likelihood, you will never have to use it. But having a plan may help to provide a sense of safety when attending a big event or while traveling.

Reconnect with older children, especially teens, in the wake of a terrorist act. Most adolescents speak more to their friends and less to their parents. Talk to them in the car when driving them to school and their many activities. For independent, older teens, get one-on-one time with them by taking them out for coffee or dinner. Just being there provides them with a valuable sense of security. Although you may feel fear and anger about terrorism, instead express calmness, understanding, and kindness. Displays of high anxiety and aggression serve to increase the experience of trauma. Venting to your children and telling them to toughen up are rarely good ideas, as is telling them to ignore

Empower your children and yourself to take power away from terrorists. Maybe do this through activism, prayer, volunteering, writing letters to honor the deceased and survivors, or simply by enjoying your family time more. Remember that in times of terror, people rally and support one another.

FROM WILD WEST, B18 scholarships, the large-scale event was held in the Infield Pavilion, where a hosted bar and delicious array of grilling and grazing stations beckoned. After dinner, chair Jon Liss invited scholarship recipients to the podium for introductions. Board member Megan Tevrizian presented top winner Sarah Drown. Sarah eloquently told the crowd what winning the $5,000 FFA and $5,000 Spanjian scholarships meant to her as she departs for Oklahoma State University. She said, “My FFA and San Diego County Fair experiences have helped shape me as a person. On behalf of all 2017 recipients, I would like to thank the Don Diego donors whose generosity is making it possible for us to pursue our dreams.” To keep the monetary momentum going in support of next year’s cream of the crop recipients, board member and ebullient auctioneer Frederick Schenk conducted a live auction of one-of-a-kind items, including a Phil Mickelson-autographed pin flag from the 2004 Master’s and a Blue Ribbon Lamb from the fair.
