BY KAREN BILLING The Solana Beach School District (SBSD) board passed a resolution June 29 opposing youth access to marijuana storefronts and commercial cultivation, seeking to protect its students and all children from the “harmful effects of marijuana” at a young age. The resolution states that the commercialization of marijuana through storefronts and cultivation not only increases its availability but normalizes its use, leading to negative health consequences. The San Dieguito Union High School District passed a similar resolution in May and the Solana Beach School District worked with Judi Strang, the executive director of the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth, to craft a resolution that reflects elementary school-age students. SBSD President Debra Schade hopes that their resolution can serve as a model for other elementary districts around San Diego County. “The challenge for our board and the professionals working with youth is protecting the youth mind,” Schade said, a nod to the resolution’s statement that youth marijuana use can

affect the parts of the brain that influence memory, thinking, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement. “(The resolution) is about being able to bring that child through their brain development in the best possible way so as they enter the classroom we’re able to teach them and they’re able to grow. This is a really important issue for me as well as other members on the board.” Schade said the research on access included in the resolution is “startling.” According to the California Healthy Kids Survey, youth are using marijuana more than tobacco in San Diego County. Government data shows that almost 40 percent of U.S. high school students have tried marijuana, about 20 percent are current users, and close to 10 percent first tried it before age 13. The resolution states that in Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal and commercialized, youth use of marijuana is 50 percent above the national average, and marijuana-related traffic SEE POT, A22

Pacific Highlands Ranch homes assigned to Solana Santa Fe School BY KAREN BILLING The Solana Beach School District (SBSD) has set attendance boundaries for students generated by new homes being built in Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley — some students will be heading to Solana Ranch Elementary School while some will be attending Solana Santa Fe Elementary

School in Rancho Santa Fe. The new assignments will take effect in the fall of 2017. On June 22, the board assigned families in Hallmark, Meadowood and a still unnamed development of 69 homes in “Unit 18” to Solana Santa Fe. At the previous board meeting on June 8, the board approved attendance

boundaries for Almeria, Olvera and Casabella units to Solana Ranch and units of Artesana to Solana Santa Fe. “We like to be proactive and complete this process so when homes come online they are already assigned,” SBSD Superintendent Terry Decker said. “Over the next four years, we’ll add another 171 homes to the

CORRECTIONS Due to a typo in last week’s RSF Review it was reported that the Rancho Santa Fe School District had purchased 82 new iPads — that number was meant to be 820. In the story about the district’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), it was reported the district would receive $1.6 million in funding from the state. The $1.6 million is the number allocated by the district to achieve the goals outlined in the LCAP, but only $286,367 of that comes from the state Local Control Funding Formula and Education Protection Account (EPA) funding. The actual amount of unrestricted state funding the district receives, including LCFF and EPA, is $574,716.

Top Secret Project takes unique look into the teen domain BY KAREN BILLING The Hazeldon Betty Ford Foundation in Carmel Valley recently hosted The Top Secret Project, in which top addiction specialists work to uncover the mysteries in teens’ bedrooms and show how 150 seemingly harmless items, such as an apple or a can of dust cleaner, could be potentially hazardous in a teen’s domain. Specialist Jessica Wong, the regional director of business development for Hazelden Betty Ford and Cendee Palmer, the outreach manager for Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in Minnesota, said typically they set up a mock teen’s bedroom with all of the items on display for parents to explore. Taking the show on the road made it a little more challenging but they still packed a lot of the warning sign items and a lot of useful information for the clinicians and parents present on June 28. “We couldn’t possibly talk about every item that a teen uses to either do drugs or that could be harmful or a potential warning sign for some other behavior they’re engaged in,” Wong said. “The conversation that we have with parents is to think about the environment that they have in their home and, in

What could this be a sign of and how can I interpret this and get ahead of some of the things that kids are doing, to help get them help

earlier and to keep our kids healthy.” The presentation looked at different drug delivery systems that kids could have lying around their room, such as trumpet mouthpieces, inhalers, highlighters, fruit such as apples, and wearable jewelry that

doubles as a pipe. Top Secret also showed parents what some teens are using for drug storage, such as books with pages carved out, lip balm containers, fake Coke cans, “dupe tubes” that look like feminine hygiene products, and clothing like hats that have secret compartments for stashing drugs. Other items in the Top Secret Project included dust cleaner that some teens are using as an inhalant or finding toilet bowl cleaner or laxatives in a bedroom that could point to a potential eating disorder. “We’re looking for a combination of items,” Wong said, noting that if you walk into a teen’s room and find an apple it doesn’t mean they’re smoking marijuana with it. “But if you find an apple with holes in it, it smells funny and your kid has been acting weird, you might have a scenario you might want to respond to.” In addition to smoking joints and pipes, Palmer shared the multitude of ways that teens are using marijuana, including in vape pens, edibles, THC drinks and marijuana wax. The wax, which teens are making on their own thanks to online instruction videos, is highly concentrated and can be smoked or inhaled. SEE DRUGS, A21

‘Being Brain Healthy’ author writes new book ‘An Insider’s Guide to the Injured Brain’ addresses survivors and supporters BY LOIS ALTER MARK When local author Ruth Curran wrote “Being Brain Healthy” two years ago, she had no idea it was only the beginning of her contributions to the process of healing from a traumatic brain injury. Her book, subtitled “What my recovery from brain injury taught me and how it can change your life,” is a primer on keeping the mind sharp and clear. It’s filled with the exercises, tips and scientific research that Curran herself turned to while trying to deal with her own traumatic brain injury. “Honestly, once it was published, I thought I was done,” she said. “But what I realized pretty quickly was that the book opened a conversation that I hadn’t really intended – one that would allow a peek into what it actually feels like inside an imperfectly functioning brain.” The interest in “Being Brain Healthy” from people who were not suffering from a brain injury surprised Curran. Readers commented, “Oh, I didn’t realize how that felt” and “Really, you can lose your depth perception?” She decided she needed to write another book and, this time around, she had to address not just survivors of brain injuries but also the people who love, support them and interact with them on a daily basis. “Caregivers have unique needs that are often overlooked during the recovery process,”

Ruth Curran and Mary Lanzavecchia explained Curran. “They are on the front lines, often noticing subtle changes the survivor may not see or may plain out deny. And, in their own way, they need support too.” Curran created her new book, “An Insider’s Guide to the Injured Brain,” as a workbook because, as she explained, “It is invaluable to feel like you are actively pursuing healing. Stories may provide insight but doing the work offers much-needed hope.” The workbook is meant to be a shared experience between survivor and supporter, so

they continually view life through each other’s eyes and take the journey toward recovery together. In fact, the idea of sharing was so important to Curran, she collaborated with Mary Lanzavecchia, a friend and colleague who had also experienced a traumatic brain injury. “By working together, we validated that our experiences – although different in many ways – were not unique or special to us as individuals,” said Curran. “The partnership gave us the opportunity to understand each

other’s perspective. This spilled over to our families and our friends, and everyone involved got to see the world of brain injury through other lenses.” Lanzavecchia agreed. “The similarities in our emotions were staggering and surprising, even when the symptoms themselves were different. It made me feel like someone truly understood me, and we knew those common threads would be meaningful to so many others, as well.” Those common threads included feelings like frustration with the inability to communicate accurately, impatience with the process of healing, grief over the loss of self, the overwhelm of constantly being bombarded with sensory information, and, most of all, the SEE BRAIN, A22

The second year of the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s adaptive surfing camp brought 10 kids and their parents to Del Mar recently. A $250,000 grant from the Junior Seau Foundation funded the camp’s first two years and will keep the program afloat for two more summers.

Adaptive surfers ride a rising wave BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The scene in front of the Del Mar Lifeguard station on Friday morning, June 23, at first glance looked much like any other: a handful of parents fussing over their fidgeting kids, eye rolls and grimaces aplenty as they squeeze into wetsuits and smeared on sunscreen. But then a closer look: volunteers flit from child to child in a blur of hugs and high-fives, showing off various prosthetics and specialized surfboards to see which might fit them best. Soon, the 10 kids, their parents, and two dozen shaggy-haired surfers whir into increasingly excited commotion as they venture out into the choppy waist-high surf. Welcome to Day Two of the two-day youth surfing camp by the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Thanks to a $250,000 grant from the Junior Seau Foundation, the Sorrento Valley-based CAF launched the camp last summer to introduce surfing to physically-challenged kids, recruiting families from San Diego, Los Angeles County and as far away as Toronto, Canada. Sure, Casey Townsend first put her daughter Adelynn’s wetsuit on backwards. And sure, CAF’s Travis Ricks had to try a few options before getting her prosthetic just right. But being from a small town tucked away in northeast Oregon, the morning’s woes are a problem Townsend felt lucky to have. “It just makes your heart happy. You sit here and you soak it all in: how amazing,” Casey said a few minutes later as she watched Adelynn, 12, beam with joy in the whitewash. “These people are like angels on earth helping our children be immersed in things other kids can do. As a parent you’re taken aback. Look at her: she’s a happy little thing. She loves it out here.” Like Adelynn, most of the kids were new to the sport, and cheers went up whenever one of them caught even a moment’s ride. But they only had to look as far as Alana Nichols and Mike Coots to

see the surfing heights to which they can aspire. Nichols, a San Diego resident, had paddled out to the offshore break, dropping in on one long ride after another. She broke her back snowboarding in 2000, and after two admittedly dark years, CAF gave her a wheelchair and helped rekindle her competitive fire. She’s since competed in five Paralympic Games — in wheelchair basketball, skiing, and sprint kayaking — claiming three gold medals in all. Coots, meanwhile, is on this morning, more than happy to stay in the shorebreak with the kids. It’s been 15 years since a tiger shark took the bottom half of his right leg in the surf off Kauai, and he’s now one of adaptive surfing’s most active ambassadors, traveling the world to compete and to photograph the sport’s elite. But for one blissful moment on Friday, all that couldn’t hold a candle to his role in helping one of the campers catch his first-ever ride. “It was better than any wave I caught all winter long in Hawaii,” Coots said. “To see him get his first wave, his father on the beach with the biggest smile ever — there’s nothing like that in the world. For me to be a part of it, it felt like I was riding my first wave for the very first time.” Opportunities like those were in despairingly short supply when he decided to get back into the water after his 2002 shark attack. “When I started, there was nothing,” he said. “I would Google ‘surfing with a prosthetic’ and no images would appear. It was an empty search.” As he spoke, many of the sport’s best were at the Australian Adaptive Surfing Championships. Brazil hosts several adaptive surfing competitions. After an event in Hawaii next month, Coots and the world’s best will face off at the ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championships, which returns to La Jolla from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. “Everything is going at such a fast pace.

There’s a lot of events happening worldwide and I think there will be a tour here very soon,” Coots said. “There’s a lot of momentum building on this wave. It’s an exciting time to be an adaptive surfer.” And with surfing set to make its Olympic debut at the 2020 games in Japan, hopes are high that adaptive surfing will make it into the Paralympic Games four years later — at which Coots is bound and determined to bring home gold for Team USA. Not if Kumaka Jensen has anything to say about it. The Orange County 10-year-old’s confidence was sky high on Friday after paddling into a wave on his own for the first time. And with his dad Stewart’s careful coaching, he figures it’ll be no time at all before he’s catching waves alongside his four brothers on the many surfing trips they’ll be taking between now and 2024. He does some quick math: he’ll be 17 by then. When asked if he’ll be ready, he could only answer a big, resounding, unhesitating: “Yes!”

Rancho Santa Fe Attack hosts Loyalty Awards Reception Forty-eight graduates and former players for RSF Attack Soccer were honored recently during a special evening reception held at the R. Roger Rowe School in the Performing Arts Center. On hand to recognize these players were Director of Coaching Malcolm Tovey and Assistant Director of Coaching Nate Hetherington. Those being honored were recognized for their commitment to the club in that they played competitively for Attack for a minimum of five consecutive years. At the reception, players who had been with the club as long as 11 consecutive years were given special plaques commemorating their achievement. “In this diverse environment where there are many soccer organizations, having this many who have remained faithful to the club shows that Attack has been able to fulfill their goal of developing players and providing them with the opportunity to play at the highest level,” said Tovey. Many of the players, both graduating and returning, are continuing their soccer career playing at the collegiate level. “This was Attack’s first annual awards event, so we had some catching up to do. In addition to our graduating class of seniors, we

SEEKING TROPICAL

PARADISE? COURTESY

Del Mar Yacht Club’s Greg McDonald and friends will mark their 25th anniversary this year on Opening Day.

On Opening Day, Del Mar Yacht Club celebrates 25th anniversary BY SEBASTIAN MONTES When the party-loving masses return to the Del Mar Racetrack on Opening Day, one tradition will revive among the countless others: Bermuda shorts and flip flops a-plenty scattered throughout the sea of seersucker suits and Italian loafers. Because for the Del Mar Yacht Club, the arrival of the racing season is as much Jimmy Buffett as it is Bing Crosby. “We are Hawaiian shirts and thongs, we are tuxedos, we love it all,” says Greg McDonald, the club’s treasurer. For 25 years, the loosely knit social club has held dearly to its claim on the Seabiscuit skybox, the only one that has escaped corporate clutches. And with yet another sell-out, the club will raise a ruckus 150 people strong — friends, friends of friends, and the occasional celebrity — a far cry from the higher-brow crowds in the corporate skyboxes. Over that quarter century, the club has weathered the tempests of change. They’ve moved anchor (so to speak) from their initial gathering spots; nowadays their favorite haunts are En Fuego Cantina and Bully’s North, where the club’s insignia hangs proudly on the wall. They’ve long since parted ways with the three boats their founding members hailed in their heyday. And the original 10 “Commodores” have winnowed down through death and departure to four devoted stalwarts manning the club’s figurative helm —Charles Coune, his wife Nadine, McDonald

and Nora Nido — self-described knuckleheads keeping the club’s spirit alive. “Some people thought we were done, but it’s been revived,” McDonald said after the last of their 150 tickets sold out recently. There won’t be many better seats anywhere at the hallowed track on July 18 than the Seabiscuit skybox, poised above the horses’ turn for home as jockeys making their final, fateful moves and the crowd holds its collective breath. The sheer amount of track knowledge is daunting to consider, but theirs is a soiree keened more on good times than wild wagers. “Opening Day is always a tough card, trust me,” Charles Coune said. “We do not go big on the betting. A lot of the folks who don’t come to the track much but come on opening day, they see all those strange distances and make all sorts of exotic bets. We like to say they’ve got more money to spend than horse sense.” Irony is part of what drew McDonald to the club 18 years ago, a subtle sort of thumbing their nose at San Diego’s elites. “That’s what I love about it,” he said. “It was all about the satire.” And when their party sparks up again to mark their 25th year, it’s only fitting that it coincides with a return to the traditional of opening on the third Wednesday of July. “Our huge day is back,” McDonald said. “It’s the high holy days for San Diego. Everybody in the county, it’s the time to be someone.”

California Institute for Human Science to host annual conference The worlds of science and healing arts will intersect in Encinitas on July 8-9 as California Institute for Human Science (CIHS) presents “Forefront Consciousness and Healing Science Research: Reports from the Field.” Every summer, some of the most inspiring thought leaders in transpersonal psychology and the subtle healing arts come to Encinitas to share their knowledge and vision at the annual summer symposium of CIHS This year’s program, which is open to the public as well as clinicians and healing arts practitioners, takes a deep dive into the

The premise behind the “Striking A Chord” benefit concert, to be held July 29, was conceived by Canyon Crest Academy student Megan Spector after her Aunt Marjie Block was diagnosed with ALS. Currently there is no cure for this disease, and the life expectancy of patients is tragically short, typically two to five years from diagnosis. Megan’s aunt has defied this statistic and continues to wage her daily fight with ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, named after the famous New York Yankees baseball star. In 2012, Megan organized the original concert, which raised over $35,000 for the ALS Association Greater San Diego Chapter. At age 17, she’s doing it again. With the message of hope leading the way, singers from across the United States will join together to participate in a second concert where 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the ALS Association. Concert proceeds will support finding a cure for this terrible disease. Megan has reached out to the San Diego music community and beyond for support, and has received a welcomed response from exceptional singers who plan on participating. The business community has also rallied behind this concert and sponsors include Cooley LLP, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Barney & Barney, a Marsh & McLennan Insurance Agency LLC company, and Mike Steelman, The Hegardt Group – Merrill Lynch.

It’s All About Safety

Cycling experts say ‘ride with lights’ day and night BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Independent bicycle dealers, industry representatives and bike advocates attended the Rider Safety Visibility Summit, hosted by California Bicycle, Inc. at 7462 La Jolla Blvd. on June 22. Together, they drove a message home: To increase road visibility, bicyclists need to use lights for both day and night rides. NiteRider sales manager Mike Ely, whose mantra is “Lights, lights, lights, no matter what,” told the group, “six or seven years ago, while riding to work one morning, I saw an automobile, a motorcycle and a bike … two of the vehicles had lights on. The bicycle did not.” That’s why he’s dedicated the last few years to persuading cyclists that having and using lights can make a difference in the safety of a ride. “We need to arm ourselves with whatever we can to be a little more noticeable on the roads. It just takes that second — when you pop out of the environment, not blend in with the environment — to not be hit,” Ely continued. Former La Jolla politician and bike enthusiast Nathan Fletcher, added, “It’s a cultural change; it’s hard and it takes time, however, just like the cultural change to wear seatbelts in a car and helmets on a bike, it’s possible.” Still, Skii Fleeton-Essenfeld, program coordinator for the San Diego County Bike Coalition, interjected, “That’s fantastic, however, in San Diego we know the best way to keep people riding bikes is infrastructure. We need to step back from forcing people to wear helmets, have bike lights, and put safety in numbers.” She said her husband was in a collision while riding his bike, even though he SEE BIKE SAFETY, A21

Rules of the Road for Bicyclists

• We are very familiar with the Association, The Art Jury, and the parameters they require.

■ Cyclists under age 18 are required to wear helmets in California. ■ Bicyclists are entitled to share the road with motor vehicles, and required to obey traffic laws just like motorists. ■ Cyclists must ride in the same direction as traffic, yield to pedestrians and signal with their arms when changing lanes or turning. ■ During darkness, bicyclists should avoid wearing dark clothing and must have: 1) a front lamp emitting a white light visible from 300 feet; 2) A rear red reflector or solid flashing red light that is visible from 500 feet; 3) a white or yellow reflector on each pedal or the cyclist’s shoes that is visible from 200 feet. ■ When passing a bicyclist, other vehicles should allow at least three feet of distance, slow down, and pass when it’s safe to do so. ■ Bicyclists may occupy the center of the lane when conditions, such as a narrow lane or road hazard, make it unsafe to ride in a position that allows other vehicles to pass.

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.

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.

University of Chicago awards Stagg Medal to a Torrey Pines graduate again in 2017 For the second time in three years, the University of Chicago has awarded its annual Amos Alonzo Stagg Medal to a graduating scholar-athlete who came from Torrey Pines High School in San Diego. At the University of Chicago commencement ceremony on Friday, June 9, graduating senior Andrew Chow Maneval of Del Mar was awarded the Stagg medal, which is given to the student with the best all-around record for athletics, scholarship and character. Maneval is the second Torrey Pines graduate to receive this University of Chicago honor. In 2015, Scott Mainquist from Carmel Valley was also chosen for the Stagg award. The Stagg Medal is named for Amos Alonzo Stagg, who was head football coach at the University of Chicago from 1892 to 1932. Stagg is considered one of the great innovators in the development of college football. Maneval and Mainquist graduated with honors from Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, where both were recognized as National Football Foundation athletes. In addition, Maneval was a standout thrower for the TPHS Falcon track team, and Mainquist lettered in basketball and track. It speaks well of a high school to have two of its recent alumni appear on

he strong ties that have historically bound members of the Democratic Party to teachers unions appear to be loosening. When steadfast Democrats in Sacramento resist the unions and sponsor bills like Anthony Portantino’s (later school start times) and Shirley Weber’s (teacher tenure), it indicates that even traditional liberals are beginning to push back against unions that claim “students first.” A May 28 San Francisco Chronicle story titled “Democrats clash over California Schools” highlights the split in the Democratic Party over how best to address the deficiencies in California’s public schools. From the story: “The future of public education in California has become a tug-of-war between camps within the Democratic Party. Democrats aligned with organized labor – who dominated local and legislative races for many years – are now facing formidable challenges from Democrats who see overhauling some union rules as a key to improving education.” Despite years of hand-wringing over how best to accelerate learning and close that stubborn achievement gap, little has changed. “Slightly more than half of the state’s students cannot read and write at their grade level, results from last year’s testing show, and 63 percent aren’t meeting standards in math,” the article states. Former charter school administrator and Democrat Marshall Tuck, who is running for state superintendent of schools, is quoted in the story, saying, “We’ve learned to live with failing schools. Our party has not prioritized education the way we need to.”

Those traditional alliances are being strained, as more and more citizens and politicians see that the state of public education in California has not advanced, despite increased state funding to schools in the last few years. Portantino’s bill to move school start times later is an example of a simple change that would vastly improve student health and academic achievement. Yet the union opposes it. Weber’s bill to extend the probationary period for granting teacher tenure from two years to three – and even to four or five years if teachers are still developing the skills they need to succeed – is also triggering opposition from the union. Weber, a state legislator and staunch Democrat with impeccable credentials, has years of experience on and with local school boards and is a former faculty member of San Diego State University. She understands better than most the inner workings of public education in California. So her push to extend teacher tenure beyond two years is notable and hits at the core of the union’s sole purpose which is to implement policies that benefit teachers. From a Los Angeles Times May 11 feature story on Weber: “The union is a huge political player with hefty campaign bankrolls. It exerts strong influence over Democratic legislators. Not so much over Weber, though.” She is “not afraid to buck the Democratic establishment.” Tenure The tenure issue is hugely contentious, because the California Teachers Association opposes any extension beyond the two years,

Guest commentary BY MARK MUIR

Board chair, San Diego County Water Authority

Perseverance pays off in rate case ruling

hen the San Diego County Water Authority filed its initial rate case lawsuit in 2010 against the Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, we knew it would be a marathon. Seven years later, we passed another important marker in the long-running litigation when a June 21 ruling by the state Court of Appeal sided with the Water Authority and the San Diego region on several significant issues. The decision includes a few key takeaways: •The Water Authority has a right to significantly more water from MWD than MWD had credited. A correct calculation of the Water Authority’s preferential rights confirms the agency’s right to tens of thousands of acre-feet more water annually for the San Diego region – a water supply about twice the amount produced annually by the $1 billion Carlsbad

Desalination Project. •MWD collected tens of millions of dollars in illegal charges from San Diego ratepayers for “water stewardship.” MWD used this money to fund local supply and conservation projects for some MWD member agencies. • MWD’s “Rate Structure Integrity” contract clause is unconstitutional and the Water Authority has legal standing to challenge it. The RSI clause was designed to punish the Water Authority for its decision to challenge MWD’s rates in court and prevent the Water Authority’s member agencies from receiving funding for local water supply project development. • MWD breached its contract with the Water Authority, which required MWD to set legal rates. Unfortunately, the Court of Appeal also ruled against the Water Authority on an issue with

www.rsfreview.com claiming, according to a June 8 EdSource report, that “two years is enough time on which to judge a teacher’s long-term potential.” In a San Diego Union-Tribune op-ed two years ago, Weber wrote, “The current K-12 tenure system is irrefutably broken. Most educational experts agree that it takes about five years to master the skills and pedagogies requisite to teaching. But California’s system forces a district to decide to either offer a teacher tenure or issue a pink slip after only about 18 months – clearly not enough time to develop skills or demonstrate competence.” It’s less than a full two years before tenure decisions must be made, due to the required March 15 deadline to notify teachers of their employment status. Many superintendents and school principals would agree with Weber. Said one in an online post, “The 18-month probationary period is frequently too short, especially in the case of beginning teachers who may struggle in their first year and need more time and support to demonstrate their effectiveness.” Weber’s bill, Assembly Bill 1220, was watered down when the Assembly Appropriations Committee, chaired by San Diego’s Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, eliminated the optional fourth and fifth year. The CTA opposes this revised version as well. EdSource says 42 states have probationary periods of three to five years. More transparency Weber is also pushing for more transparency in access to achievement data, to understand if Gov. Jerry Brown’s local control funding formula, which grants districts more autonomy and increased funding for underserved students, is having any noticeable effect. “California’s new system for funding public education has pumped tens of billions of extra dollars into struggling schools, but there’s little evidence yet that the investment is helping the most disadvantaged students,” according to a June 18 report by the non-profit CALmatters. “The state has spent tens of billions of dollars trying to lift poor kids and not one penny evaluating whether any of it is working,” said SEE SUTTON, A21 statewide implications – whether MWD must base its rates on the costs it actually incurs in providing its various services. Legal, cost-based rates are a fundamental element of the San Diego region’s ongoing efforts to provide a safe and reliable water supply that supports 3.3 million residents and a $222 billion regional economy. The Water Authority argued successfully at the trial court that state law and the state Constitution require MWD to charge for services only what it costs to provide them. MWD convinced the Court of Appeal to reverse the lower court ruling on this key finding. We are concerned about the chilling effect this ruling could have on water transfers and their benefits for the environment. With so much at stake, the Water Authority will seek review of the appellate court ruling by the California Supreme Court. From the start, this case was expected to land at the state’s high court. While the June 21 decision secured several important victories for San Diego County, we remain determined to see this case through to a successful conclusion – and we will continue to rely on support from the region’s ratepayers, business leaders and elected officials every step of the way.

www.rsfreview.com FROM DRUGS, A2 Although some states are cracking down on edibles that too closely market to children, Palmer said there is a lot of risk for youth associated with edibles. She gave the example of a marijuana gummy bear — one bear has enough to get one person high but it takes much longer to go through the metabolic system. Younger users that are unaware will tend to pop more than one candy which can lead to THC intoxication or poisoning. In Colorado, emergency room visits for accidental poisoning due to marijuana ingestion under the age of 12 has increased 25 percent since recreational marijuana became legalized. Wong also talked about the rise of prescription drug abuse among teens. “Opioid use is not new….When I started at Hazelden 13 years ago about 10 percent of our clients were admitted for treatment from adolescent young adult perspective for dependence to heroin,” Wong said “At this point, 50 to 60 percent of our clients are admitted with opioid dependence. The difference between what was happening 13 years ago and what’s happening now is the connection that heroin has to the prescription medications that are often times legitimately prescribed for real pain.” The United States makes up 5 percent of the world’s population but consumes 80 percent of the world’s oxycodone and 99 percent of hydrocodone. In 2015, there were 52,000 deaths in one year from opioid overdoses, more than the 38,000 who died in car crashes and more than the 43,000 who died during the HIV/AIDS epidemic in 1995. Wong said sometimes when she gives this presentation, she is approached by parents who say that the information is helpful but their child is still pretty young. She points to a statistic that 13 percent of those with substance abuse disorders began by using marijuana by the time they were 14 years old. “It’s really easy to get into the mindset that ‘This is not my kid, this is not my family, this is not my neighborhood.’ Addiction and mental health are not issues that only effect a certain types of people in

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 6, 2017 - PAGE A21

certain places. It can happen to all of us,” Wong said stressing the importance of awareness for parents. “The reality is, every kid that enters one of our treatment facilities across the country, the parent has at one point said ‘That will never be my kid.’” Wong said she often hears pushback from parents about not wanting to go into their child’s room or invade their privacy. She said being aware of their space doesn’t mean tearing rooms apart or doing prison-style searches. As a parent she said she could communicate with her daughters via text message but instead she goes into their room to ask what they want for dinner, talks to them and takes note of their environment and their behavior. “The safety of our kids trumps their privacy,” Wong said, using a powerful example from Sue Klebold, the mother of Dylan Klebold, one of the Columbine shooters. In her book, “A Mother’s Reckoning,” Klebold said she might have been able to do something to prevent the tragedy that happened if she had seen before two items she found in his room after his death. One was his stash of St. John’s Wort, showing that he had been trying to seek relief for his depression on his own. The second was a pack of cigarettes which gave her chills because she had suspected he had been smoking and she had asked him several times and he had always said no. When she found the cigarettes, she became aware of how capable he was of lying. Wong said often times parents don’t want to upset their kids but they need to initiate conversations, listen to their children, create an open environment for communication and offer a voice of reason. “Be a parent, not a friend,” Wong said. “If I’m not my daughters’ mom, they won’t have one.” Wong said even though they painted a “heavy picture” about the challenges teens face today, she said it’s important to remember that most teens feel good about the future. “Most kids don’t engage in dangerous behaviors that can be harmful to their health,” Wong said. “There are a lot of kids who are doing the right thing and making the right choices.”

FROM SUTTON, A18 Bruce Fuller, an education policy professor at the University of California Berkeley, in the report. Another example of Democrats willing to challenge union power is Gloria Romero, the Democratic majority leader of the California State Senate from 2001 until 2008, who described her disillusionment with unions and how they use their power, in a 2013 op-ed in the San Diego Union-Tribune which I’ve saved because it was so eye-opening. Here are excerpts: • “The most influential public-sector union is the California Teachers Association … it commands the most powerful war chest in California …” • “From 2000-2010, CTA spent over $210 million on political campaigning – more than any other donor in the state, outspending the pharmaceutical, oil and tobacco industries combined.” • “Its political war chest is legendary, allowing it to dominate elections, including school board races …” • “California’s teachers are among the highest paid in the nation; yet there is little accountability for student achievement or teacher performance. Tenure and seniority are protected. Laws make it almost impossible to fire teachers for incompetence or misconduct.” •“Until legislators are willing to put student interests over party interests, we will continue to fund failing schools.” False accusations These are welcome conversations to have – all the more remarkable because they have been initiated by Democrats who have concluded that fundamental change is required for even a remote chance of improving academic performance and preparing California’s struggling children for a successful future. These politicians make it possible, even acceptable, for citizens who care about education to challenge union-backed positions and candidates, and not be made to feel guilty over false accusations that they don’t care about kids or schools. There’s work to do to ensure that candidates for

school board are obligated to no one and nothing except their deep commitment to improving the state of public education. Speaking up at school board meetings and protesting bad policy decisions are critical to the effort. Following on last week’s theme, it’s time to reject the notion that teachers unions represent the best interests of students. That’s not what they’re about. As the link between unions and Democrats begins to unravel ever so slightly, taxpayers on the left side of the political spectrum are becoming more comfortable questioning union goals and criticizing school board members for irresponsible spending and bad fiscal policy. There are good reasons to be disenchanted with traditional union policies and the bully tactics used to push union agendas and their candidates. That does not make people conservatives or liberals. It makes them sensible. Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

FROM BIKE SAFETY, A15 was “lit like a Christmas Tree.” Ely agreed that the push for safer cycling infrastructure needs to continue, but “while we push for those things, if cyclists were more visible, the collision and fatality rates would go down, and if that made people feel safer, and they rode more, we’d have more chances (for more bike lanes). One of the things I hear the most is, ‘Are you going to take space away from cars for the seven people who ride bikes?’ ”

Like a Christmas Tree

At the bike summit, sports industry consultant Edward Clancy demonstrated products that could advance visibility. For example, a Bluetooth-activated helmet with lights and blinkers to let other vehicles know where the cyclist plans to turn next, light-reflecting sweatshirts and jackets, and a rub-on that makes the skin shine in light. Bike shop owner Bob Bandhauer said during the day, the most important thing a cyclist can have is a bright, blinking front light. “The rear light (although recommended), is not quite as important in the daytime,” he said. He recommended LED lights around the wheels and the bike frame for night rides. “Your wheels are lit up (and motorists) can see you from every angle. They cost $10-$12 per wheel installed.” Another bike shop owner, Brent Garrigus, said he’s been fighting the battle solo to get bicyclists to wear lights for many years. “Now, if we can get the bike shop owners to work as a group, we can use that leverage with the larger (bike) clubs and say, ‘We’ll only sponsor your club if you have all people who join ride with front and back lights on, all day long,’ ” he said.

Distracted Driving

“Lights are great, we sell them all day long, but there’s a bigger factor; distracted drivers,” Garrigus continued. “The big thing is text messaging. We have customers who won’t ride (because they don’t feel safe),” he said. “If the ticket for texting and driving was $2,000, it would stop.” Circling back to the meeting’s first point, Fletcher offered, “No light is going to solve the whole thing, but if everyone was more visible, it would help.”

FROM ASSIGNMENTS, A1 a higher generation factor, adding 105 students over a four-year period, they will be close to capacity at the school. Decker noted that Solana Santa Fe is in the next big round of Prop JJ modernizations, scheduled for completion in 2020-21. SBSD Board President Debra Schade said they may consider moving that up if the district sees accelerated growth in Pacific Highlands Ranch and higher student generation numbers. While most of the homes that the district assigned are yet to be built, there are some families who purchased homes in Pacific Highlands Ranch with the belief that their home school was Solana Ranch. There are three families with two children living in Meadowood that will be impacted by school of attendance change. The students are currently attending Solana Ranch and will be entering the sixth, second and fourth grades. Decker said he is not recommending “grandfathering” those students into Solana Ranch but instead having the students go through the traditional

method of applying for an intradistrict transfer. Board member Julie Union advocated for making an exception for the students, as there are only three of them. Union said she’s heard from other families who have gone through the intradistrict transfer process and just how “emotional and upsetting” it can be when students don’t find out until the week before school starts where they will be attending. “It’s really impacting on their lives to have to find out every year if they’re in or not,” Union said. As Solana Ranch nears capacity, Schade said the intradistrict transfer decision is one that each family will have to make for themselves — instead of taking the risk of not being able to attend Solana Ranch as it fills with students who live in the attendance area, parents may ultimately decide to just attend their home school of Solana Santa Fe. Schade said the good news for families is that Solana Santa Fe is a “wonderful” school, and the choice for families is between two great schools. Union still said she would like the district to consider changing the

Life Tributes

intradistrict transfer process to let families know sooner which school their children will be attending. Board member Vicki King said the decisions on attendance boundaries are tough, especially when acknowledging the “elephant in the room”— the location of the district’s potential eighth school in Pacific Highlands Ranch, 10 acres on Golden Cypress Place in the middle of homes just assigned to Solana Santa Fe and Solana Ranch. Some homes next to the new school may be closer to Solana Ranch — “I think we’re at the beginning of some tough decisions to make,” King said. The district has an option to purchase the land when development reaches 1,500 dwelling units in the Solana Beach School District’s attendance boundary in Pacific Highlands Ranch — that target is expected to be triggered in 2019. “With the accelerated growth in that area…the decisions are going to get harder,” Schade said. She said making a clear-cut decisions now and being proactive is the best move for the board to make as the next pieces of development loom ahead for the district.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Douglas Everett Harwood July 14, 1949 - June 9, 2017

Rancho Santa Fe / coaStal / encinitaS — Douglas everett harwood was born on July 14, 1949 in arcadia, ca. one of three children born to Ruth (Duffy) and everett niles harwood, Doug was raised in arcadia, spent 2 of his high school years at the army navy academy in carlsbad and then graduated from arcadia high School. he went on to get his undergraduate degree at USc. Doug graduated Summa cum laude. truly an icon, Doug was known and admired by his peers for his intellect, warm heart and kind disposition, along with his willingness to help others. Doug started his real estate career working for a childhood friend from arcadia, Judi Stubbs, at Dave Stubbs Real estate in Solana Beach. he then went on to open his own brokerage, the harwood company in leucadia, where his career thrived. in the latter years of his career he and orva harwood, headed a highly successful group of realtors under the harwood

Group at coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Rancho Santa Fe. Doug was a pillar in the north county coastal residential real estate community for over 40 years and ranked every year as one of the top brokers nationally. Known to represent some of the coast’s most exclusive real estate, Doug was also an advocate for those less fortunate. he spearheaded and helped to enforce initiatives for affordable housing in the coastal communities. he was personally engaged in advocating for state housing laws that benefited low-income housing/residents. Doug had many interests

and enjoyed life to the fullest, but work was his first love. incredibly intelligent and charismatic, he was an encyclopedia of knowledge in all aspects of residential real estate and land use. he was known as the “go to” broker by many realtors when they needed guidance on a complex transaction. Doug gave freely of his time and knowledge to those who sought him out…without condition or payment… even when they were his competitors. an avid art lover, photographer, painter and illustrator, Doug would “doodle” or paint daily. after painting vignettes or faces from photographs that he’d taken, he would often then mail them to his friends with a quick line or two recounting their meeting together. he enjoyed the sea, surfing, paddling and sailing, and took his son Russell on many trips to catalina with family friends. he loved music and dancing. he enjoyed his Bible study group and prayed daily. he bought courses on DVD pertaining to physics

and science, and loved discussing those topics with clients/friends in that industry. after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010, Doug died peacefully at his home in San Diego on June 9, 2017, from complications from bone cancer. he had his son Russell and partner Shannon hagan by his side. Doug was 67 years old. he is pre-deceased by his son, everett harwood; mother and father; half-sister, larain; and brother, William harwood. Survived by his son Russell harwood. Services will be held to honor Doug’s life on July 10, 2017, at 10 am, at the Village church located at 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, ca. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to one of Doug’s favorite charities, Just in time For Foster Youth, at www. jitfosteryouth.org.

FROM BRAIN, A4 sense of being in a constant fog. “Understanding these feelings can help everyone,” said Lanzavecchia, “because, statistically, we are all more likely to know someone who has had a brain injury than someone who has had cancer.” According to the Center for Disease Control, every 16 seconds, a person in the United States suffers a traumatic brain injury. That means there can be close to two million new survivors annually. In addition, another 800,000 people suffer a stroke each year. “TBI and stroke survivors can face impaired thinking, changes in sensory processing, and altered emotional functioning, among other challenges,” said Lanzavecchia. “All of these issues can have lasting effects on the survivors, their families and their communities.” The exercises included in the book evolved from Curran and Lanzavecchia’s personal experiences. They tested every exercise personally and modified them based on what they learned themselves, from each other and from their family members. This fall, Curran will be following what she believes to be the most valuable, ongoing exercise in the book. Straight out of Chapter 15 of “An Insider’s Guide to the Injured Brain,” she will be leading book clubs for stroke survivors in San Diego. She’ll also be continuing her ongoing work with the San Diego Brain Injury Foundation, a nonprofit organization that offers outreach, support and education for survivors and caregivers locally. “An Insider’s Guide to the Injured Brain” and “Being Brain Healthy” are both available on Amazon, Kindle and Audible. For more information, visit insidersguidetotheinjuredbrain.com.

FROM POT, A1 deaths increased 92 percent from 2010 to 2014, while all traffic deaths increased only 8 percent during the same time period. In Colorado and Washington, where recreational marijuana is legal and commercialized, emergency room admissions for accidental poisoning due to marijuana ingestion by children under the age of 12 has increased by 25 percent over the last three years. While California passed Proposition 64 in November 2016 legalizing the recreational use of marijuana, Schade said each jurisdiction can put together tighter restrictions and safeguards. Solana Beach has banned medical marijuana cultivation and dispensaries and, in March, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors banned medical and non-medical marijuana facilities in the unincorporated areas of the county. In January, the city of San Diego legalized recreational pot dispensaries and opened up the possibility to allow farms, manufacturing facilities and testing labs. Any potential recreational marijuana shop can be within 1,000 feet of schools, parks and other sensitive uses if there is a freeway, wall or some topographical feature in between.

The closest marijuana storefront location in North County is on Roselle Street in Sorrento Valley. Each City Council district will be allowed four storefronts and Strang said it appears all four of District 1’s storefronts will be in Sorrento Valley. A second proposed storefront is 1,000 feet from a building that houses the San Diego Youth Orchestra. Strang said they have argued against the location’s proximity to children but as the building also houses businesses, the city considers it a multi-use and not a minor-oriented facility. SBSD Superintendent Terry Decker said it appears there will be a “significant concentration” of shops in that Sorrento Valley area, home to many student and family-oriented uses such as learning centers, art studios, a karate studio and a volleyball gym. Decker said it’s important to increase awareness about their concerns and board member Richard Lieb agreed about the lack of regulation: “We need to be very vigilant about it.” “I think the most important thing that this resolution says is that we do not want these storefronts in close proximity to our students… not only students in our schools but any institution that houses young minds,” board member Vicki King said.

Katherine Cosmetics opens Flower Hill flagship store BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Katherine “Annie” Finch has opened her first flagship store for Katherine Cosmetics, her line of beauty products that aims to share a positive message of beauty and to help women and girls feel confident and pretty. The new store opened in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade just three weeks ago, celebrating a grand opening party on June 22. “I didn’t realize what a big deal it was to have a store and how much I would love it and how much the customers would love it,” Finch said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” Guests can come in to shop for their favorite Katherine Cosmetics makeup or have an expert makeup application done — whether it’s for a high school dance or charity event, the talented Katherine Cosmetics team is available for the perfect look. The studio is also available to book for parties. Everything in the store reflects Finch’s lifestyle — visitors can sample her favorite coffee or chocolate as they shop the sparkling display of products, in pretty pinks and golds, stamped with positive inspirational notes like “you can and you will.” There’s even a perfectly-lit selfie station in the corner, with a pink neon Katherine Girl script as the backdrop. The four “Ks” in her logo represent the four “powerful” generations of Katherines in Finch’s life that supported the notion that “All girls can do and be anything they want in life.” Finch’s knowledge of the industry comes from a 23-year career at Estee Lauder in sales, marketing and product development. During her time in New York, she helped launch Aerin Lauder and Tom Ford’s lines before moving to Rancho Santa Fe to retire and ride horses.

Katherine Cosmetics’ founder Katherine “Annie” Finch at her studio’s selfie station with a Katherine Girl. But she didn’t stay retired for long. Katherine Cosmetics got its start in 2014 when Finch set out to create a line of sport makeup. K-Sport is smudge, smear and sweat-proof even through one of her spin classes at Rancho Valencia or the steamiest of hot yoga classes. With K-Sport, Finch created essential basic items that were all-natural, gluten-free, paraben-free and never tested on animals. “That was really important, to take out all the bad ingredients and put only good ingredients in,” Finch said. Items in the line are dual-action such as lip gloss with sunscreen and her Wow stick, which is a multi-use primer that offers coverage, protection and works as a line-filler. K-Sport also has a very popular waterproof eyeliner — the “can’t live without, must have” product that lasts through riding or running with a useful built-in blending brush. Her next product was her lipsticks, the A+

The new Katherine Cosmetics in Flower Hill Promenade. Friends Beauty line of 11 shades developed and named for some of her closest friends. As a reflection of Finch’s passion for giving back, $1 of each sale goes to its namesakes’ charity of choice. Drawing on her Estee Lauder roots, Finch also launched a fragrance, Katherine Girl — pretty and light with notes of citrus, floral jasmine and magnolia, and drywoods and leather. Finch is especially excited about her new addition of Date Night Beauty eyeshadows, highlighter, brow solution and eyelash kit. “The idea is the brand can take you through everything you need in life, from morning workouts and horseback riding, to coffee with friends and date nights out,” Finch said. While Katherine Cosmetics started online and with social selling, she eventually landed in 300 Dillard’s stores across the country.

Online, social media ambassadors called Katherine Girls help spread Katherine’s positive, strong and inspirational message across the world — doing the right thing, being a good friend, sister and daughter, doing what you love, learning and trying new things, and believing in yourself. “Katherine Girls love what we stand for as a brand, being natural and active, helping others and being confident and pretty all at the same time,” Finch said. Finch put all of that and more into her new store. She had never really thought of having her own studio but once she got the encouragement from friends and fellow Flower Hill businesses, she was able to put it together on a quick timeline over the last month. Like the brand preaches: “All girls can do and be anything they want in life.” Learn more at KatherineCosmetics.com or visit the store at 2690 Via de la Valle, Del Mar.

LOCAL PSYCHOLOGIST BROADENS PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY BY OFFERING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES By Stacey Phillips What are the advantages of meeting with a clinical psychologist? Clinical psychologists are social scientists of human behavior and cognitive processes. My doctoral training, clinical rounds, and research have prepared me to provide thorough mental health services. As a clinical psychologist, I’ve had experience diagnosing psychiatric illnesses and devising treatment plans. I often work in conjunction with psychiatrists for medication management. I also help patients make practical decisions, strengthen functional behaviors, and clarify thoughts and feelings to improve psychological health.

What are your areas of treatment? I diagnose and devise treatment plans for a multitude of psychiatric illnesses including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, substance abuse/other addictions, psychosis, neurocognitive disorders (i.e., dementia), neurodevelopmental disorders (i.e., ADHD), eating disorders, grief/loss, trauma, child developmental issues, healthy aging/life transitions, relationship issues, work/ school issues, and sport performance. What can I expect during the first appointment? My new office space was designed to provide an environment that is comforting and healing, where I believe patients will benefit from psychotherapy. I have

reserved parking in the building’s main lot and my second-ﬂoor ofﬁce has an elevator for those with mobility challenges. My clinical observations, assessments, diagnoses, and treatment plans are generated from pre-doctoral internships and post-doctoral fellowships spanning from 2010. Psychotherapy, also called “talk therapy,” involves talking about your condition with a mental health provider. You’ll learn about moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors and how to achieve an integrated self by utilizing techniques, such as coping and stress management skills. Psychotherapy often can be completed in a few months, but in some cases, long-term treatment may be needed.

How are patients diagnosed? Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors—not external things, like people, situations and events. The beneﬁt of this therapeutic orientation is that people can change the way they think to feel/act better even if the situation doesn’t change. I help patients uncover unhealthy patterns of thought and discover how they may be causing self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. By addressing these patterns, patients can develop constructive ways of thinking that will produce healthier behaviors and beliefs.

What distinguishes your practice? I’ve spent time with local physicians to understand psychological services that would beneﬁt the Rancho Santa Fe community. This guided me to provide services such as family, couples and child counseling, sport psychology consultation, and drug/alcohol treatment maintenance. I can help patients manage symptoms once they are discharged from a rehabilitation facility. I also offer psychological services to those challenged by their mobility, such as Parkinson’s Disease, and cognitive impairments, including Alzheimer’s Disease. I travel to those who reside in independent and assisted living facilities. What is your background? I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and graduated cum laude from Lehigh University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. I began my graduate studies in San Diego at the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP). I graduated with honors with a Master’s and Doctorate Degrees in Clinical Psychology. While there, I achieved a specialty certiﬁcation in Chemical Dependency. For my dissertation research, I studied how athletes learned to cope and manage adversities, such as anxiety amidst competition. With this information, I formulate plans for athletes to enhance their experiences and performance.

Mitchell Thorp Foundation teams up with SD Aviators for Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING The Mitchell Thorp Foundation will host the Pillars of Hope Tennis Smash at the Omni La Costa Resort on Sunday, July 16. The “smashing” event will feature a dinner and auction event, as well as tennis action from Mylan World Team Tennis’ San Diego Aviators. Proceeds from the event will go toward the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, founded in 2009 by Brad and Beth Thorp, whose son Mitchell died in 2008 after a five-year battle with an undiagnosed illness. The foundation’s mission is to help families in the region who have children suffering from life-threatening illness, diseases and disorders by providing financial and emotional resources. The event begins with food stations and wine pairings, a cash bar, live music, and a silent and live auction that includes “unbelievable” items such as trips to the U.S. Open and a three-night stay in New York, an Alaskan Cruise and trips to Costa Rica, London, Belize and more. At 6 p.m., guests will leave the ballroom to watch the San Diego Aviators take on the Orange County Breakers, featuring a match-up between the Breakers’ Maria Sharapova and Aviators’ Shelby Rogers. “We like to mix it up and make it fun and interactive for guests, something different

Those with young families are encouraged to bring their kids — while adults are at the dinner and auction event, children can attend a kids’ event that includes a tennis clinic, games and food trucks. At 6 p.m., parents and kids can come back together for the tennis match. Tickets are $150 for the dinner and tennis, kids’ clinic and dinner is $45. As part of the event, the foundation also gives out The Pillar of Hope Award to honor special doctors, practitioners and therapists

who go above and beyond for their patients and educate the community on health and wellness. This year’s honorees will be Dr. Andrew Accardi of Scripps Hospital and George Tidmarsh with La Jolla Pharmaceutical. The Mitchell Thorp Foundation’s mission is driven by the Thorps’ own experience when their son got sick. The community came together to support them through Facebook groups and even hosting a walk-a-thon to help pay their $70,000 medical bill, and that was with insurance. The Thorps said they will forever be grateful

for those helping hands and hearts. “It was so humbling to us, it just changes you when people you don’t even know are helping you,” Thorp said. After the loss of their son, it took time for the Thorps to heal and feel like they could give back, but they were adamant to do what they could to help other families. And since founding the organization, they learned there is a real need: 78 percent of families whose child is diagnosed with a critical illness experience divorce or separation, and the stress these families experience will test SEE THORP, B22

BRITTANY WOOLSEY

Rick Walker, of Carlsbad, quit his job in environmental health and safety to open Bach to Rock in Encinitas.

Bach to Rock opens first Southern California location in Encinitas BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY North County children can now take steps to become the next rock star or classical composer at Bach to Rock in Encinitas. Children can learn how to play a variety of instruments in nine artist-themed learning rooms — like Beethoven, Nirvana, The Beatles and Katy Perry — at the franchise's 23rd location and first in Southern California, which opened June 6. After each level, students also have the opportunity to record songs they learned and perform in a space with other children.

Director and owner Rick Walker, a musician from Carlsbad, wanted to bring Bach to Rock to Encinitas to be around music. "I found this great franchise and it seemed like a way to take what I do for fun and move it into what I do for a living, too," said the former environmental health and safety worker. "I think that's everybody's dream." He said a place like Bach to Rock was needed in Encinitas, which he considers an arts-oriented city. Walker also plans to give back to the SEE BACH TO ROCK, B22

‘Vegan: The Cookbook’ author to appear at July 16 Good Earth/Great Chefs event in RSF A presentation and book-signing will be held at the Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe with Jean-Christian Jury, author of “Vegan: The Cookbook” on Sunday, July 16, from 10:30 a.m. - 12 a.m. A presentation and Q&A will begin at 11 a.m. With nearly 500 vegetable-driven recipes, “Vegan: The Cookbook” is inspired by cuisines around the world and showcases the culinary diversity of vegan cuisine; highlighting regional fruits and vegetables, traditional cooking techniques, and universally delectable flavors. This is a comprehensive cookbook for all diets, accompanied by beautiful photography and straight forward instructions. While working in London, Jury suffered heart failure, which he attributed to his relentless restaurant schedule and poor diet. Heeding this wake-up call, he began delving into the study of raw and vegan food and embraced a healthy diet. In 2007, he opened his first vegan restaurant, La Mano Verde, in Berlin, to much critical acclaim. He is now teaching and traveling internationally.

Author plumbs deep, rich life of Ellen Browning Scripps ‘Great Lady’ left a treasure-trove of personal papers

Q: What were the challenges in dealing with all that material?

A: The challenging part is she had really terrible handwriting. I could understand why somebody didn’t dive right into it. I looked at her diary from 1909. It was tiny. I opened it up and thought, Oh, my God, I can’t read any of this. It’s all scribble scribble. She was a journalist and had a shorthand that was peculiar to her. I studied 17th century British history. I know paleography, and I’m skilled at reading old and bad handwriting. But this took me about a month of reading her most legible letters before I could even touch the diaries. And then everything had to be double- and triple-checked to make sure my transcriptions were accurate. As it turned out, she was a subject well worth my time.

BY JOHN WILKENS Few philanthropists in San Diego’s history have had the impact of Ellen Browning Scripps. Money she made from her family’s string of newspapers helped fund schools, museums, parks, hospitals, oceanographic research, the zoo. She died in 1932. “She’s clearly the Great Lady of San Diego,” said Molly McClain, a University of San Diego history professor who has written a new 366-page biography of Scripps, “Ellen Browning Scripps: New Money & American Philanthropy” (University of Nebraska Press, June 2017).

Q: What did you find most fascinating about her life?

Q: Why did you want to write about EBS?

A: It came about rather by accident. I’d been asked to write a history of The Bishop’s School for its centennial. The development director there asked if I would mind going up to Scripps College and looking at the archives, Ellen Browning Scripps’ papers, to see if she had anything about the school in them. I thought, what a fun project. I’d be thrilled to read her personal papers. Historians love that kind of thing. So I went up there and I just stumbled onto a treasure trove. There were nearly 20 file cabinets that

LA JOLLA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Ellen Browning Scripps (Born: Oct. 18, 1836 in London, United Kingdom. Died: Aug. 3, 1932 at her home in La Jolla.) were filled with her account books, her letters, her diaries, her travel accounts. For a historian, it was sort of like a bubble bath of material. I thought someone must have written a biography of Ellen Browning Scripps and yet when I looked into it there hadn’t been anything published about her since 1966.

That was the last biography. I thought somebody really needs to do this. I was between projects and I thought this would be fun. And I got myself into what turned out to be a very long project because there is all this material. I felt duty-bound to go through it. That’s what historians do. We read everything.

A: She was a woman from a very working-class, educated background who managed to make her way in a man’s world. She became a journalist in Detroit, head of the copy room, an important editor. This was right smack in the middle of the Victorian era when women are not supposed to be able to do these things, and when they did it, they didn’t get much credit. For most of her life, she lived with her family members, with her brothers, as a spinster, taking care of the kids at night and working during the day. It wasn’t until she came to California that she suddenly

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 6, 2017 - PAGE B15

Kevin Nealon on Carson, Trump and how San Diego helped launch his career BY ROB LEDONNE When Kevin Nealon departed his native Connecticut in hopes of launching a career in show business in the late 1970s, his first thought wasn’t to head to Los Angeles. “When I moved out west, I kind of landed San Diego,” says Nealon, who lived in North Park. “I worked for a temporary-help agency called Manpower down there. They got me a job as a department store Santa Claus, and for a week, I worked at the San Diego Zoo at the reptile cage. It was crazy because I was 24, and I didn’t look anything like Santa. I remember the kids would be so scared they’d actually pee on my lap.” Nealon has carved out a career in comedy since those fraught holidays posing as Ol’ Saint Nick, maintaining both his relevance and an edge throughout the intervening decades. Despite his impressive résumé — from his run on “Saturday Night Live” from 1986 to 1995 to his star turns on the Showtime cult hit “Weeds” and the current CBS sitcom hit “Man With a Plan” — it was a single appearance that Nealon holds in higher regard than

them all. After pursuing stand-up for seven years, the budding star scored a segment on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” in 1984, the equivalent of reaching the peak of Mount Everest for any comedian. “My dream was to do Carson. That came to fruition, and I don’t think anything has kind of superseded it. It was the highlight of my career,” says Nealon, who first flexed his comedic muscles in San Diego, both performing and enjoying shows at the former Improv or the La Jolla Comedy Store. “Learning how to do stand-up was easy because I enjoyed what I was doing,” Nealon says. “I remember the first time I ran into Eddie Vedder and he said, ‘Dude, I used to come and watch you at the Improv. I’d surf down in San Diego and at the end of the day I’d see you!’ I enjoyed developing a style and coming up with stand-up, learning how to get comfortable onstage and performing in general.” It’s those principles that Nealon uses to this day, including the current stand-up tour that brought

Kevin Nealon lived in North Park in his 20s and worked as a department store Santa Claus. the comedian back to the place that started it all with his June 25 gig at Solana Beach’s Belly Up Tavern. “It’s hard to describe my act. I’ve heard friends say that my comedy kind of sneaks up on you and hits you over the head a few seconds later. It’s nonthreatening, absurd observations and notions. I’m not going to be (my foul-mouthed character) Doug Wilson from ‘Weeds.’”

As for whether he misses his perch anchoring “Weekend Update” on “SNL” poking fun at the politicians of the day, Nealon says he’s mostly had his fill. “Sometimes I’ll miss it, but not often. Thankfully I have a diverse interest in show business. I get to do a lot, so I’m not pigeonholed into one thing. I stay excited all the time, so I’m really lucky.” That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have thoughts about a certain

omnipresent target of many comedians’ jokes. “Typically I’m not a political pundit, but if something’s funny and I come up with it, I’ll say it,” Nealon explains. “I did a line the other night: ‘I used to believe that anyone could grow up to be president. Now I believe that you never have to grow up to be president.’” Visit kevinnealon.com. Rob LeDonne is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Summer Legs and Beyond: Exercising with Varicose Veins It’s summer, there are record temperatures, and you want to be in shape for all those warm-weather clothes. But if you also suffer from varicose veins, not all exercises will be beneﬁcial to ﬁtness and your venous health. The problem with varicose veins When you see varicose veins, the big purplish ropes under the skin, that is blood buildup in veins due to weak venous valves. Varicose veins usually appear in the legs because the veins have to work harder to pump the blood from the feet back up to the heart. The heart, then, has to work harder to pump that blood through the weaker veins. Sometimes, high blood

pressure can develop or be exacerbated by varicose veins. Why not all workouts are ideal for people with varicose veins The general rule of thumb is that exercise is a good way to improve venous health. So while varicose veins are mostly the result of genetics, keeping up proper blood ﬂow will help the appearance of the varicose veins and improve your overall vascular health.The key is to use exercise to improve circulation, especially throughout the legs. There is even a chance that moderate exercise may reduce the chances of forming new varicose veins or worsening the already weakened veins.The veins in the calf muscle are especially useful in pumping blood back into the heart, so exercises that strengthen the calf muscles should be a part of your workout plan. Riding a bike, especially a stationary bike, is particularly effective. Walk, don’t run Walking stimulates circulation and burns plenty of calories, and the same

applies for low-impact jogging. However, a high-impact run or workout can actually increase the swelling of the veins and add stress to your joints. If you are a runner, consider moving your workout to a soft surface and wearing compression stockings to stimulate blood ﬂow. That gut feeling Blood ﬂowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins. So weightlifting and lots of sit-ups can do more harm than good for varicose vein sufferers. However, if weightlifting is an important part of your workout regimen, consider less weight with more reps, and avoid putting too much strain on your abdomen. The same is true for strenuous yoga; some poses can put extra pressure on the vena cava, impeding rather than improving

circulation. Low-impact yoga that involves smooth transitions and lots of stretching is a better plan. Remember, you should stop immediately any exercise that causes leg pain or even discomfort. Exercises is about doing good, not harm, and there can be too much of a good thing, especially when your vascular health has been compromised by varicose veins. There is no prevention for varicose veins, and no failproof cure. But a healthy, lowimpact, cardiovascular-boosting routine is a great ally for healthy legs. And while varicose veins are common enough and may not always be life-threatening, a good solution to accompany exercise is removing those varicose veins with sclerotherapy, which can be done in just a short ofﬁce visit. If working out has given you symptomatic vein disease, and if you’re tired of your varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website.

The Theatre School at North Coast Rep to present ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ There’s mischief in the woods! The Theatre School @ North Coast Repertory Theatre presents William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Magical fairies with love juice complicate two teen couples’ relationships in this “First Folio” Shakespearean comedy. Benjamin Cole directs his theatre school students in this entertaining summer performance, from Aug. 2 – 6. Benjamin Cole has an abundance of directing experience and has been involved in over two-dozen Shakespeare productions. For this production, he decided to jump back to First Folio, the first official publication of Shakespeare’s work, because “it is the closest to Shakespeare’s original intent in the structure, spelling, and punctuation that we have.” Many modern editors of Shakespeare’s plays chose to standardize “misspellings” and grammatical “mistakes.” Cole believes, ”These newer editions, destroy some fantastic opportunities for interesting interpretations of the text that existed before the regular rules were invented for spelling and grammar. We choose to use the ‘mistakes’ as clues that help make the scripts

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley resident Mara Fortin recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of her first Nothing Bundt Cakes bakery. Fortin opened her first bakery in Poway in 2007 as the company’s first-ever franchisee. Ten years later she owns seven bakeries, including locations in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade and The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley. Fortin likes to say she is not in the business of selling cakes but in the business of relationships, of family and celebrations and of people coming together. “After 10 years, we’re a household name and the go-to place for desserts,” Fortin said. “We’re embedded in people’s lives, we’re a part of people’s celebrations and remembrances. I love it so much.” Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz founded Nothing Bundt Cakes in 1998 in Las Vegas, where Fortin was living at the time and had a very busy life as a medical malpractice attorney. She walked away from the “ridiculous hours” and began crafting a recipe for a new life in her native San Diego, drawing on her undergraduate degree in business. She convinced the owners to let her be a franchisee. Fortin vividly remembers being in the parking lot by her new Poway location in 2007 and listening as a couple of men walked by and seemed baffled by her bakery, wondering “Only bundt cakes? That’s it? What’s a bundt cake?” Many people told her she would be out of business in a year. “Everyone was very skeptical. But I knew

how great the product was,” Fortin said. “The product is just amazing. It’s so beautiful to walk into the bakeries, it’s so warm and inviting and I just knew in my heart I was going to be a game-changer for the dessert market in San Diego and now with seven bakeries, that’s what we’ve done. “Dessert has taken on a whole new life and it’s exciting to me to have played an integral part of completing that vision.” Fortin went on to open bakeries in Chula Vista, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Santee and Mission Valley, the location that continues to be the top two bakery in California. She opened the Flower Hill Promenade location in 2009 and the Pacific Highlands Ranch location last year, which she said has been a “perfect fit.” Since opening the bakery she has become a Pacific Highlands Ranch resident and her daughters attend school locally with Kendall at Pacific Trails Middle School and Karyn at Ashley Falls Elementary School. Many a school event has been gifted with bundt cakes and Karyn’s fifth grade class came to visit the bakery and got a lesson on the business — and cream cheese frosting. Fortin also makes efforts to give back to the community through partnerships with Rady Children’s Hospital and Susan B. Komen of San Diego, donating thousands of cakes a year. “To my customers, thank you for believing in us,” Fortin said. “Without my customers in San Diego, I’m not at seven bakeries. It’s really because of them that I’ve been able to grow.” Visit nothingbundtcakes.com

FROM BACH TO ROCK, B5 community by providing free performances from students and teachers for events. Classes are available for people of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, in individual and group lessons. Most lessons last from a half-hour to an hour. Walker said Bach to Rock is a learning environment where parents can feel comfortable dropping off their children. He added that music helps children develop in a variety of ways. "There are studies that playing music does increase the IQ," he said. "Kids learn to think a little differently. For me, what's most important, is that cooperative aspect of playing music with other kids and gaining confidence from performing in front of others." Stephanie Brown, who works as Bach to Rock's assistant site director and is a musician in local psych-rock bands, said she wishes she had a similar learning environment when she was a child. "I was classically trained but I never had a rock band class," she said. "I found that becoming a performer, I had to do a lot of my own work in terms of feeling comfortable on a stage. It's really nice that we can provide that environment for the kids, where they can feel safe and perform. Bach to Rock is located at 282 N. El Camino Real, Suite C.

Historic Encinitas bus tour to be presented by Sea Coast Exclusive Properties

The Encinitas Preservation Association (EPA) will once again be hosting the historical bus tour on Saturday, Sept.9 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., thanks to a sponsorship from Mike Evans of Sea Coast Exclusive Properties. The tour includes over 50 historical points of interest and scheduled stops at Olivenhain Town Hall, San Dieguito Heritage Museum and a drive through the San Diego Botanic Gardens. The highlight of the tour will be a rare opportunity to tour Bumann Ranch. Tour guides on the bus will give a brief history or story about each area. “No matter how long you have lived in Encinitas and think you know all about its history, you will learn something new during this tour,”

says Carolyn Cope, president from Encinitas Historical Society and tour director. Each ticket supports the preservation of Encinitas’ most iconic historical buildings, the Boathouses. The EPA acquired the SS Moonlight and SS Encinitas in 2008 in order to maintain them and make sure they remain in place for future generations. Sea Coast Exclusive Properties is the EPA’s tour sponsor for a fifth year. Sea Coast, in downtown Encinitas, is a locally-owned real estate firm with deep ties and a history of service to the community. “Many of our agents are locals that grew up in Encinitas, with family histories that are a part of the

Encinitas story. We are excited to be a small part of preserving our local heritage,” stated Mike Evans, President of Sea Coast Exclusive Properties. Tickets are $65 each including lunch at the iconic 1883 one room schoolhouse. They may be purchased through

www.eventbrite.com. The tour will depart from the 1883 School House at F ST and 4th St at 9 a.m. and return at 12 p.m. Parking will be at Pacific View. Please enter at 390 West F St. Lunch will be served upon return. The 1883 School House will be open for viewing following the tour.

FROM ELLEN BROWNING SCRIPPS, B11 blossomed. She had retired from active work in journalism but started investing in Scripps papers. She and her brother E.W. Scripps essentially make a fortune on this new group of papers that are going to become the Scripps-Howard papers. Then having created all this money, she decides to give it all away. She really made San Diego the kind of cultured place that it is today.

Q: When she came to San Diego, she wasn’t that impressed. What made her stay?

A: She found in La Jolla this really interesting community of women, many of them college-educated, a little avant garde. They were writers and artists, kind of Bohemian, and she really took to them. She was rather a free-spirit herself and had very different opinions about religion, about politics, and she found a group of like-minded people. And can you imagine what La Jolla must have looked like without all the buildings? It must have been a paradise. She described the natural beauty as extraordinary, and she was a very keen observer of nature.

Q: What is her greatest legacy in your FROM THORP, B4 them beyond their endurance, often bankrupting them financially, emotionally and physically. The Mitchell Thorp Foundation now offers several programs to bring other families help, hope and a sense of normalcy. They offer medical and home assistance, healing and rehabilitation, which includes counseling services for all members of the family and a conversion mobility van program.

number of local restaurants, sample wine and beer at Sip Stops, and enjoy a variety of live music. “We’re excited to be presenting one of our favorite events highlighting our downtown, made up of great restaurants and business.” says Thora Guthrie, Encinitas 101’s executive director. To help make this year’s Taste of Encinitas easier on the environment, Encinitas 101 is

supplying the Sip Stops with cups made of a corn-based plastic that is compostable and biodegradable. Participating restaurants are being encouraged to minimize waste and use eco-friendly plates and utensils. Additionally, for the first time, the event will not permit the use of Styrofoam. In addition to the Sip Stops, the Taste will feature locations serving

opinion?

A: I think it has to be the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Clearly that’s one of the greatest scientific research institutions in this country and perhaps the world, making really important progress on issues like climate change. Of her investments, that was definitely the most important.

Q: Why did she stop working as a journalist?

A: She turned about 50 and her brothers found that they had no more need of her on the newspapers. Her brother James said, “I’ve got these competent young men. You can take it easy, Ellen.” Her other brother, E.W., said, “I’d love to find some work for you, Ellen, but I can’t find a place.” She was edged out of the family business. She got the gold watch. And that was very hurtful to her because she had been one of the reasons the Detroit Evening News was a success.

Q: Why is it important for us to reflect on the life of someone who made her mark 100 years ago? A: We live in an age much like the Gilded Age. These extraordinary fortunes are being created and being passed

The foundation is getting ready to offer its third van conversion — it takes a little longer as the vans are expensive and the beneficiary families are asked to help with the fundraising efforts for the vans. The recipient of the third van is a single mother who has two children in wheelchairs.

down. You have people who have more money than they ever imagined. And the question is, what do you do with that? Do you create an American aristocracy, passing it down through family hands, or do you spread the wealth and recognize that there is a large community of people who could be helped by philanthropy? It’s easier to ask ourselves questions about the present when we look at history and say, “What did other people do in a similar situation? Who founded these institutions and why did they do it?”

Q: As you note, the Children’s Pool was her last big gift to San Diego. What would she have made of the controversy about the seals there?

A: On the one hand, she gave the pool for children. That was its intended use. I imagine she would want it continued to be used that way. But on the other hand, she was also a naturalist. She was someone who deeply cared about the environment, loved nature, and would not want to see any harm come to the seals. So I think she herself would be in a sticky spot on that question. — John Wilkens is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

The council has now grown to 56 volunteer students from schools all over the region. Thorp said she feels a strong personal connection to those her foundation helps as she and her family have walked in their shoes. They feel fortunate to be able to help other parents struggling to make ends meet and willing to do anything they can to save their child. “We would have done anything to save

Mitchell, his illness was undiagnosed until his death. It’s still unexplained,” Thorp said. “From that pain, we took it and turned it into something positive and tried to bless other families.
