Back to school: Your donation is voluntary BY KAREN BILLING One of the most important lessons in public school education is that in California, all students have a “free school guarantee” – meaning no students can be charged a fee to participate in educational activities. The San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) is hoping to hammer that fact home, holding informational meetings with its district attorney
to educate administrators, athletic directors, booster parents, foundation and middle school PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) members. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the meetings are an effort to get everyone in the district on the same page regarding donations so that the language that goes out to parents is always clear and consistent.

BY JOE TASH Water officials in San Diego County have come out against a proposed state law that would impose a new monthly fee on all residential and commercial water users in California, to pay for programs that provide access to clean and safe drinking water in communities where water sources are contaminated. Opponents of the legislation have called the proposed fee a “water tax,” while supporters said it is “vitally needed” to deal with a state health crisis. At its meeting in August, the board of the Santa Fe Irrigation District voted to oppose the proposed law, Senate Bill 623, authored by Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel), unless it is amended to remove the proposed fee on water users. Earlier this summer, the board of the San Diego County Water Authority, the region’s water wholesaler, took a similar position. The Santa Fe district doesn’t oppose the goal of providing clean drinking water to communities that lack it, said spokeswoman Jessica Parks, but the district does object to the imposition of a new state fee on water customers. “This would be another charge we would have to put on the customer,” said Parks. “I think our customers have been vocal about the amount they already pay on their bills.
To add more fees and taxes will only harm our customers.” In a recently published op-ed piece, Water Authority chairman Mark Muir wrote that money for the “Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund” should instead come from existing sources such as the state general fund, federal safe drinking water funds, the newly authorized state cap-and-trade program or general obligation bonds. SB 623 calls for fees ranging from 95 cents per month to $10 per month for residential and commercial water customers, depending on the size of their water meter. The money would be collected by local water agencies such as Santa Fe Irrigation District. Glenn Farrel, government relations manager with the County Water Authority, lauded the bill’s intentions and said the quarrel is with the funding mechanism. “We don’t at all dispute the intent of the bill,” Farrel said. “We believe there’s a need. It’s just the source of funding in this bill, the water tax, that’s the crux of our opposition.” The proposed fee would raise an estimated $100 million to $130 million per year, with an additional $30 million coming from fees on the dairy and fertilizer industries. Supporters of the bill said 300 communities across the SEE WATER, A18

New Earl Warren Middle School opens

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) celebrated the ribbon cutting for the new Earl Warren Middle School on Aug. 25. In two years, the 61-year-old Solana Beach campus was demolished and completely rebuilt on time and on budget. “Our oldest middle school is now our newest, but it is still Earl Warren Middle School,” said SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill of the $45.8 million renovation project. “The school is now technologically advanced, it’s highly efficient and it’s suited to the needs of our modern students. This school is symbolic of our school district, it’s always adapting, always evolving and always advancing, and on the leading edge without changing who we are and what we stand for.
Our academics, our arts, athletic performance and student outcomes are the envy of school districts throughout this region and throughout the state and we get better every year. That’s our legacy. “This has been our tradition since 1954 when this school was opened and it’s going to continue on Tuesday when kids walk through those gates for the very first time.” Many excited Earl Warren staff members were there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside many special guests, including Senator Toni Atkins, Assemblyman Todd Gloria, former Senator Dede Alpert, former SDUSHD superintendent Bill Berrier and board member Barbara Groth, the superintendents from neighboring SEE EARL WARREN, A12
Mike Licosati resigns from RSF Association Board of Directors
Candidates to fill vacancy have until Sept. 20 to apply
BY KAREN BILLING Mike Licosati has resigned from the Rancho Santa Fe Association board as he and his family will be moving to Solana Beach. “We would like to thank Mike for his contributions to the board and our community, including his many hours working on revising the governing documents and the RSF Connect high-speed internet project. We wish him and his family all the best,” Rancho Santa Fe Association (RSFA) President Fred Wasserman stated. Licosati has served on the board since 2014 and was co-chair of the Technology
Committee and a member of the Governance Committee. Prior to joining the board he was active in the community as a member of the Covenant Club Committee and Finance Committee. “We will miss the place we have called home and raised our three children over the past 15 years,” said Licosati in a statement. “We have made many life-long friends. As our kids are now all teenagers, it was a natural time for transition.” In a letter to board members on Aug. 23, Licosati explained that he and his wife, Janie, recently bought the home in Solana Beach and intended to stay in Rancho Santa Fe until their youngest daughter, a seventh grader, finished at R. Roger Rowe School like
his two older children. However, over the course of the summer they decided to send their daughter to Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad, which prompted the move to their Solana Beach home. Licosati said they plan to keep their Rancho Santa Fe home but will not be residing there full time, which is a requirement to serve on the RSF Association board. “The RSFA has improved, in some areas dramatically, since we moved here, especially all the new, hard-working and professional staff,” Licosati said. “I feel confident the momentum we started will continue. We will be rooting from the sidelines as the RSFA pursues the critical initiatives ahead,
particularly the fiber-optic network.” Licosati’s departure means there will be a vacancy on the board which — per the Association bylaws –the board of directors has the authority to fill the vacancy. The term of the appointment will be through the duration of Licosati’s term which ends on June 30, 2018. Those who are interested in serving on the board can download the Self-Nomination Form and Statement of Economic Interests online at rsfassociation.org or pick up the forms at the Association office. Forms and a resume must be returned to the RSF Association by 5 p.m. Sept. 20. Candidates for the position will be considered at the board meeting on Oct. 5.

12th annual SES Tennis Center Fundraising Pro-Am returns Sept. 22-23 BY KELLEY CARLSON Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa’s head tennis professional, Eduardo Sanchez, is hoping to net plenty of support for an annual charity event. The 12th annual SES Tennis Center Fundraising Pro-Am is scheduled for Sept. 22-23 at the resort, which features a sponsor party and tennis tournament. Monies raised will benefit the SES Tennis Center in Tecate, Mexico – named for Sanchez’s stillborn son, Sean Eduardo Sanchez – and the Empty Cradle organization, which provided support to the Sanchez family after their loss. This year’s event will be even more bittersweet for Sanchez. His father, Salomon Sanchez Hernandez –who was instrumental in supporting him with the tournament, the tennis center and Empty Cradle –passed away in April. “It’s going to be tough,” Sanchez said. But “his spirit will always be here.” The tennis center – established in 2004 – fulfilled a lifelong dream for Sanchez. The Tecate native took an interest in the sport when he was 16, while working as a bellboy at the Rancho La Puerta resort in 1978. With the money he earned from his job, Sanchez bought his first tennis racquet at Kobey’s Swap Meet at the San Diego Sports Arena (now the Valley View Casino Center). He watched resort guests take lessons from the teaching pros, and listened to the teachers coach their students. Sanchez also studied televised matches and read magazines. His methodology paid off, as Sanchez joined the Mountain Empire High School (San Diego) tennis team, and then went on to play for San Diego City College for two years while studying physical education. After
college, he returned to Rancho La Puerta to teach as a tennis pro for five years, and then became head tennis professional with former top Australian player Ken Rosewall at Rancho Valencia when the resort opened in 1989. “Never in my wildest dreams I thought they would hire me,” Sanchez said due to his unorthodox rise as a self-taught pro. He noted that he was competing against more than 70 professionals for the position, and he obtained 43 letters of recommendation from high-profile clients at Rancho La Puerta. “It was one of the most incredible days of my life.” Sanchez went on to receive accolades for his teaching and community service, and he founded the Rancho Valencia Junior Tennis Academy, but it was his establishment of the SES Tennis Center with his wife, Amelia, that is perhaps his crowning achievement. The roots for the center began at Sean’s funeral in 1999, which was attended by many of Sanchez’s resort connections. Sanchez said he revealed his dream of building one or two public tennis courts in Tecate to Doug Pardee, owner of Pardee Homes. According to Sanchez, Pardee offered $15,000, which was matched by Rancho Valencia. More funds rolled in and, eventually, Sanchez had $95,000 to build two hard (cement) courts. The SES Tennis Center opened on June 6, 2004, and has since flourished. Among the talented players who have graced the courts is 13-year-old Eugenio Gonzalez, one of the top-ranked youths in Mexico who is now playing for the U.S. Tennis Association (USTA). Eugenio may be a quiet kid, but “he is not afraid of anybody” on the courts, Sanchez said. “He’s going to do well in the U.S.”

The teen will be among the players in the 12th annual SES Tennis Center Fundraising Pro-Am, along with professionals such as former top-ranked doubles player and Davis Cup winner Rick Leach. An average of $45,000 to $50,000 is raised every year for the center through the tournament. Funds go toward tennis equipment and maintenance and operation costs, and, in 2011, Sanchez was able to add two artificial clay courts. Anyone can play at the center, but the priority is the youths, he said. About 120 participate in the center’s summer program – with 85 percent to 90 percent of them qualifying for free tuition – and an average of 100 to 150 kids are enrolled

on an annual basis. The SES Tennis Center Fundraising Pro-Am will kick off with the sponsor party from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Sept. 22 at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe. Amateurs, pros, sponsors and other guests will mingle in a “very relaxed” atmosphere, Sanchez said. “We come together, have fun, and get to know each other,” he added. There will be a dinner and a silent auction with items such as skateboards from Tony Hawk and X Games bronze medalist Mitchie Brusco, Hansen Surfboards, and baseballs and bats signed by players. The tournament festivities will be from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sept. 23 at Rancho Valencia, with player registration starting at noon. Twenty-four teams – each composed of one amateur and one pro – will compete for a trophy. There will be an open division of eight players, an eight-player women’s division (4.0 or 4.5 USTA ranking) and an eight-player men’s division (4.0 and 4.5). A barbecue will be held after the tournament. The cost for amateur players to attend the sponsor party and enter the tournament is $400. Tickets for those who are interested in attending the party and watching the players in action are $185 per person. The barbecue is included in the price. “I’m happy to give back to the community in Tecate and here,” said Sanchez, who now resides in Carmel Valley with Amelia and their children, Siana Raquel and Kian Eduardo.

California Department of Education: No pay for play at Torrey Pines High BY KAREN BILLING The California Department of Education has found no evidence that Torrey Pines High School’s baseball program violated the law and required students to pay to play on the team. The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) received the California Department of Education’s (CDE) decision on Aug. 28. Parent Wendy Gumb submitted her complaint to the district in January and appealed the district’s findings to the CDE in June. The CDE decision concluded that the evidence in the complaint “failed to support a conclusion that students were required to participate in a fee-based AAU baseball program or make a donation to the Foundation in order to make the official TPHS spring baseball team.” The CDE also found that baseball club teams operated by the TPHS Foundation outside of the regular season (the AAU Falcons) were separate from district-operated programs, so the related fees charged by the TPHS Foundation were permissible. “We’ve always known that the team’s success comes from the hard work, talent, and dedication of our outstanding student athletes and coaches,” said SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill in a statement. “Our parents know when they choose to support our foundations that they are providing better opportunities for all students. We are grateful for their generosity.”
Gumb said the CDE’s response focused mainly on unlawful pupil fees and that a number of other issues in her complaint still need to be addressed. “No one is protecting our students when coaches are allowed to operate within a loophole,” Gumb said. “It’s time to close the loophole.” In her complaint, Gumb alleged that students were “required” to make a donation to play on the TPHS baseball team and that the Foundation kept track of who paid and sent out reminders to those who failed to pay. She also alleged that individuals associated with the baseball team were given exclusive access to players and TPHS facilities to run club sports like the AAU team. The CDE’s evidence for its findings included emails from private accounts of parent liaisons of the TPHS Foundation and photographs of a clipboard with names of students and a column with the heading “Paid” which was left at a table during baseball registration. The district found that emails were sent requesting a “minimum donation” of $695. Although the evidence indicates most students provided donations, three to seven students do not donate and there is no evidence that failing to donate had any effect on student participation in the program. “The interviews indicate that none of the coaches ever knew which students had or had not donated to the Foundation,” the SEE TORREY PINES HIGH, A18

San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy receives grant for continuation of work on Fairbanks Ranch Restoration Project The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) has received a grant of $15,000 for a restoration project in Fairbanks Ranch called the “Fairbanks Ranch Invasive Plant Removal and Stream Enhancement within the San Dieguito River Valley.” The funds, granted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service through its Partners for Fish & Wildlife Program, will support the continuance of work on the restoration project that began in 2015 when residents of Fairbanks Ranch became concerned about the health of their watershed following the 2007 wildfires. After the wildfires, the residents became aware of the flammability of the non-native vegetation and the need to get help to have it removed. “We could not do this project without the support of the residents of Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe,” says Trish Boaz, SDRVC executive director. “The community and our partners — the California Native Plant Society and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District — came together to make this happen.” In 2016, an additional effort took place to remove eucalyptus trees, arundo and other invasives from the project area using an American Conservation Experience (ACE) crew over four weeks in January and February of 2017. Due to the success of the work conducted to date, several new owners signed onto the project and the work has expanded to 200 acres covering additional parcels in Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe. With this grant, the Conservancy will be able to once again hire a 10-person crew from ACE to remove arundo, tamarisk, pampas grass, and other nonnatives from these new project areas. Work will be conducted over a two-week period in October. To date, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services has awarded $55,300 for this project. The Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project granted $23,000 to this effort in 2016. In addition, the SDRVC will conduct Citizen Science surveys across the project site as part of the SDRVC Monitoring Program to collect valuable data documenting the use of the area by birds and other wildlife before and after nonnative invasive removal efforts. This will be accomplished through multiple walking surveys and use of wildlife camera traps on the site. — Submitted press release

FROM EARL WARREN, A2 elementary school districts and representatives from the city of Solana Beach and the Friends of the Solana Beach Library. One of the most unique guests was former Earl Warren teacher Jay Williams, who was attending his second Earl Warren ribbon cutting. Williams, who started as a teacher at San Dieguito High School in 1951, taught at Earl Warren from 1954 to 1982. SDUHSD President Amy Herman thanked the district families and community — the new Earl Warren campus and many other district projects would not have been possible without their support for the $449 million general obligation bond Proposition AA that passed in 2012. “This beautiful new campus demonstrates what a community can accomplish when it comes together to support its public schools,” Herman said. Senator Atkins and Assemblyman Gloria both complimented the community and its taxpayers for making the investment in their schools and understanding the importance of educating young people and preparing them for the next steps in the world. Adam Camacho, who served as principal of Earl Warren during its transition period on the interim campus, thanked the construction and design team for allowing so much input to ensure that the school didn’t lose the special identity it held for those 61 years.
awakened leaders who are using their voices and talent to elevate humanity.” Rubin’s blockbuster bestseller Better Than Before explored how we can improve our habits and create lasting change, the press release said. Now in her new book, “THE FOUR TENDENCIES: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People’s Lives Better, Too)” (Harmony, on sale Sept. 12, 2017), Rubin unlocks the personality framework that allows people to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress and burn-out, and engage more effectively. And it all starts with a single question: “How do I respond to expectations?” For more information, visit www.gretchenrubin.com.

The entrance to the new Earl Warren Middle School. Craig Swenson from McCarthy Construction said it was “an absolute joy” to be involved in the school’s transformation and to build a high-quality learning environment for student success. Laura Knauss, an architect with Lionakis, said in her 30-year career as a school architect, only a handful of these kinds of projects come around. She thanked the district for
the opportunity to design a safe, sustainable school that spoke both the language of the educators and the spirit of the community. New Earl Warren Principal Reno Medina said he is still pinching himself over the fact that he has returned to lead Earl Warren — he was an assistant principal at the school before leaving for La Costa Canyon High School in 2015. “Earl Warren Middle School is truly family,” said Medina, noting that the vision and theme for the upcoming school year is centered around building connections and enriching the culture while incorporating the dynamics of a whole new school. “Now that we have a dynamic combination of a state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly facility and an amazing educational community, I can’t wait to soar like Seahawks and take Earl Warren Middle School to the next level.” Assemblymember Gloria, who was a history major in college, offered some words about the school’s namesake Earl Warren, the former California governor and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. “Earl Warren has the distinction of being the only governor nominated by both the Democratic and Republican parties,” Gloria said. “I think that his legacy of activism, of justice, of equality, of unflinching integrity and courage are skills and characteristics that are worthy of our children. I hope that this new school helps to really breathe life into that legacy and transfer those skills onto our young people.”

Making films to make the world a better place BY LISA DEADERICK athaniel Goodman has learned to embrace more of the moments of his life, including the difficult ones. When he was 9, he and his parents were in a car accident that almost ended his parents’ lives. While he was spared from any serious injuries, he’d spent the year that they were recovering doing what he could to be supportive and help out around the house, and those things helped distract him from the trauma and grief. “At first, I didn’t want to preserve my memory of the accident. I wanted to move on, erasing evidence of trauma. But troubling moments become part of who we are, for better or worse, giving our lives depth and humility,” he says. “That’s one of the reasons I started to make movies: to preserve moments and capture emotions, even the vulnerable ones.” Today, he’s the founder of Filmmaking for Good, a nonprofit he started to help other nonprofit organizations share stories about the work they’re doing in the community through his promotional videos. He meets with clients, spends time shooting footage and interviews, and edits the material into films that those organizations can use to raise money and awareness. That work enabled him to apply for and be selected as one of the winners of this year’s Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Award (dillerteenawards.org), in which each of the 15 recipients nationwide receives $36,000 for taking on global issues and working toward change.

He took some time to talk about Filmmaking for Good, what it means to him to be selected for the Diller award and how he’s learned to find value in failure. Q: Tell us about Filmmaking for Good. A: Filmmaking for Good has one very simple goal: to promote as many nonprofit organizations and youth groups as possible to raise awareness and funds, from which more people can be served and inspired to serve. It all started in high school, when I saw there was a disparity between organizations doing good work effectively and those doing it ineffectively. I noticed that the missing piece of the puzzle was media outreach, so I thought of

no better way to bridge the resource gap than to bring my skills to struggling nonprofits. Q: Why was this kind of work something you felt like you wanted to do? A: It combined my natural inclination to produce films with my community involvement, in a variety of settings. It was a talent that I loved practicing, and it was needed by almost every organization I participated in. People like to watch a multidimensional project involving moving pictures over reading a one-dimensional narrative, in most instances. Q: How did you get into filmmaking? A: From an early age, I would watch my father craft short videos of family events and
observe my mother work on her still life paintings. Though I would not classify our family as artistic — my father is an eye surgeon and my mother is a substitute teacher — I was always encouraged to find a mode of expression that’s dear to me, so I could march to my own drum. I picked up my first camera when I was 5, unwitting of the potential that lay within the little black box. Following my traumatic car accident, I knew I wanted to pursue storytelling because it helped me capture emotions and maintain memories; many of which make up the life that was almost swept away before my eyes. I’ve found filmmaking to be instrumental to my development. It’s able to convey certain emotions and realities in ways literature, photography, and music cannot. What I love about Carmel Valley ... I was born in Arizona, raised alongside scorpions and coyotes. While Scottsdale showed me how to get along with similar people, I didn’t know how to thrive in a diverse environment until I moved to Carmel Valley. Today, I carpool with students from Beijing — adopting motivating phrases like “jia you,” which means “work harder” — and learn how to count in Arabic from my lab partner. The discussions I share here have shaped the way I value different perspectives. Q: What happens when a nonprofit has a service project they want your help with? A: My project works not only through word of mouth in the community, but also via my website and YouTube channel. On these online platforms, prospective nonprofit organizations SEE FILMMAKER, A18

Rescued dog finds permanent home after life-saving surgery BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A dog who was abandoned on the side of the road, captured the hearts of people all over the country and sparked media attention now has a new chance at life. As of Aug. 24, Orson, a 2-year-old English Settler mix, is living permanently with the Encinitas family that has cared for him for months, as he was going through surgery and rehabilitation for a deformed front leg. He was found abandoned by the side of a freeway in Mexico. A good samaritan took him to a Baja Rescue Group before he was transferred to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) in Encinitas in April. When the 35-pound pup arrived, RCHS staff discovered Orson had a bone in his right, front leg that was too short. His original adoptive family agreed to have Orson's leg fixed but eventually returned him without the surgeries after learning the costs would range from $5,400 to $5,800. "Our medical fund was depleted after we recently accepted dozens of dogs and puppies rescued from commercial breeding operations, also known as puppy mills," explained RCHS President Jim Silveira. "[Orson's original adoptive family] did not have the surgery and returned him in worse condition than before." RCHS reached out to its volunteers and successfully raised the money needed for the surgery with Dr. Joshua Jackson at Veterinary Specialty Hospital. Orson had a fixator installed to stretch the bone, and his back right knee was also operated on for another problem. RCHS received dozens of applications for Orson, including from the family that has been

The Lofshult family, including their two other dogs, officially adopted Orson on the morning of Aug. 24 after receiving clearance from the vet. Diane Lofshult said when she first met Orson, she wasn't expecting that she would adopt him because she didn't want to be a "foster failure." "That's what it's called when you adopt your foster," she explained, laughing. "But if you have to fail at something, that's not a bad thing to fail at. I did think about if this was the best

situation for Orson, and when I saw how well he got along with our other dogs, I knew he was home." While Orson's surgery was a success, he will suffer some long-term effects, such as a slight limp, said Kathy Zerkle, RCHS vice president of adoption services. His family will also have to watch for arthritis, and they have been training him in the pool for water therapy. As he entered RCHS Thursday morning, Aug. 24, Orson trotted in with a smile on his face, as if he knew he was on his way to his forever home and like he was no longer in any pain. Lofshult described Orson as a sweet, mellow

"When we first got him, he wanted to play with the other dogs but wasn't able to, physically," she said. "Now, he's able to do everything they're able to do. He's very grateful. You can sense that he's glad for everything everybody has done for him. Orson embodies a lot of people coming together to make his life better."

Solana Beach School District applications available for free and reduced-priced meals Solana Beach School District is promoting participation in its Child Nutrition program which serves nutritious meals every school day as part of the National School Lunch Program. All students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals this 2017-2018 school year if the household income is less than or equal to the federal guidelines. Applications are available at school sites or the district office and include a letter about the free and reduced-price meal program.
Households that want to apply for meal benefits, must fill out one application for all children in the household and return it to the Child Nutrition department at 309 N. Rios Ave., Solana Beach, CA 92075 or their school office. To apply, online visit www.heartlandapps.com. Contact Jessica Archuleta at (858) 794-7121 for help filling out the application. The Child Nutrition department will let you know if your application is approved or denied for free or reduced-price meals.
SDUHSD applications available for free and reduced-priced meals
San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) recently announced its policy for providing free and reduced-price meals for children served under the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program. Under Provision II, La Costa Canyon and Torrev Pines high schools offer breakfast at no charge to all students before school daily. Each school and/or the central office has a copy of the
FROM DONATION, A1 donations for school programs. Over the last school year, the district faced questions regarding school site fundraising, the role of the foundations and was forced to investigate allegations of “pay to play.” Another recent complaint was filed against the La Costa Canyon High School cheerleading team, regarding the “large financial obligation” each member of the squad would be responsible for. Parent Beth Westburg also recently questioned the district board about Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s “Guide to Suggested Donations,” which asked parents to consider a $180 donation to help fund the school’s academic needs this school year along with listed suggested donations for specific programs such as robotics to dance. “A reasonable person would conclude from this flyer that one must pay to participate,” wrote Westburg. Bilbeisi said that in many cases there is a quick fix — such as using the word “voluntary” for donations instead of “suggested.” Donation requests should avoid using the word “fee,” he said, also suggesting that groups avoid presenting parents with anything that looks like a bill or invoice and instead encouraging voluntary participation in fundraising. Bilbeisi said fundraising always needs a disclaimer: “This is not required for your student to participate in this activity.” Bilbeisi said in their request for donations, groups can state the consequences if a person does not donate to a team or program but he tends to discourage that — “Nothing prohibits it by law but I don’t think it’s a best practice,” Bilbeisi said. Last season, Dill said the district

investigation found an email that did cross that line — an email from the Torrey Pines volleyball team requesting funds for transportation stated “If you don’t pay the fee you can’t ride the bus. The foundation has asked that everyone get the bus fee in ASAP, or your son may not be allowed to ride the bus to and from games. If they do not ride the bus, they cannot play.” In that case, Dill said the district is offering refunds to those who felt the fee was mandatory. “The district has to be transparent to the public to keep and retain their trust,” said SDUHSD board member Mo Muir, who attended the Aug. 24 meeting. "The district is responding to foundation inquiries by being transparent and having training workshops on fundraising to make sure every aspect of our district from foundation leadership, coaches, staff and PTAs are all aware of the laws and follow them.” To further discuss the issue, the SDUHSD board’s Sept. 14 meeting will have an item on the agenda regarding foundations and donations. Bilbeisi’s presentation offered an overview of pupil fees, charging a fee to a student as a condition for participation in a class or extracurricular activity. An ACLU investigation in 2010 revealed that school districts across the state were illegally charging students for extracurricular activities and for textbooks and materials. Dill said before 2004, SDUHSD was doing a lot of those things and they did a thorough job with reviewing and correcting the district’s curricular piece. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) filed suit against California to stop illegal practices and protect equal access to education and in response to the ACLU suit, Assembly Bill 1575 was

passed in 2012. Bilbeisi said the bill essentially codified what was already the law regarding fees, although the law is still largely undeveloped and uncertain — it states no student is required to pay for “participation in an educational activity,” which essentially everything falls under. The law states schools can’t require students to make payments to obtain a lock, locker, book, class apparatus, musical instrument, uniform or “other materials or equipment.” A fee waiver policy shall not make a pupil fee permissible. Schools cannot require students to make a purchase needed for an educational activity (such as a supplemental textbook or supplies) and all supplies and equipment needed to participate in a school activity must be provided free of charge. Athletic directors at the meeting wondered how far does it go: Would they have to provide track spikes? Field hockey sticks? Socks? Would the district be liable for a school-provided football helmet in the case of an injury? Bilbeisi said the law is “murky” but the district does need to provide all supplies free of charge. The intent is to not create a “two-tier” educational system by offering a higher educational experience for students with better means. One cheer parent said that can be difficult as these programs do cost money — in the cheer team’s case, it costs about $1,500 per member, if 10 kids chose not to donate, who gets the bill? Dill said the district would be required to cover that cost. SDUHSD board member John Salazar said he has been bothered by the perception that students don’t go out for certain sports because they cannot afford it. He would like to see posters on every
campus that read: “Come out for sports, it’s free, we don’t want your money.” Some booster parents said that culture already exists, that parents do understand what it costs to run the program and are happy to contribute if they can. One Canyon Crest Academy parent said the soccer team has a “suggested” $500 donation but she said she knew families who said their children played for four years and they never donated a dime. Another thing the law gives parents is the option to use the Williams Uniform Complaint process to apply for reimbursement for previously charged fees. The district is required to provide a 60-day turnaround for any complaint and complete an investigation — the parent can also appeal to the California Department of Education. The law does not prohibit soliciting voluntary donations but it does prohibit course credit or privileges in exchange for donations. “Recognition is OK as long as they are not getting specific privileges,” Bilbeisi said. Dill said they have seen some fundraising tactics regarding recognition that are not best practice — such as a list of names with those who have yet to donate. And despite the allegations of “pay for play,” Dill reiterated that athletic coaches do not receive a list of who has and has not donated, nor do they want to. Some boosters in attendance said that it is important for them to be able to recognize those parents who have given above and beyond so that all kids can participate. “We have great parents that support the schools,” Muir said. “We so appreciate their time and monetary contributions. We can never thank them enough.”

Class of 2018 National Charity League San Diego Del Norte Chapter members create a beautiful home for foster teens One strong tradition within the National Charity League San Diego Del Norte Chapter is the annual Senior Project. In many ways, the Senior Project can be thought of as the bow that wraps up the girls six-year volunteer commitment with National Charity League. This year Senior Project co-chairs were Kelly Ann Doody, Pascale Kourie and Blake Zimmer. The co-chairs helped to present a number of different project options, but the class decided that they would like to work with Friends of San Pasqual Academy, as they felt a connection to the teens who live and attend school at San Pasqual Academy. The Senior Class of 2018 was able to join with the Friends of San Pasqual Academy to accomplish a major cottage renovation. The Friends of San Pasqual Academy purchased all the furniture, including beds, desks, sofas, tables and chairs, and the National Charity League Class took care of providing the bedding, kitchen items, bathroom items, and other décor. They added many personal touches and special items to truly create a cozy home for the foster teens, who live and attend school at San Pasqual Academy.
For this class, that began with raising money for the project. The girls in the class, called Ticktockers, put together a large opportunity drawing at the annual Mother/Daughter luncheon and raised thousands of dollars for the project. Their next step was visiting San Pasqual Academy to see the space that would be renovated. The girls took pictures, measured and made preliminary plans for what would be needed to complete the cottage. To tackle the project, the girls split themselves into four teams that each focused on a specific area: kitchen, living room, bathrooms and bedrooms. Each team was provided with a list of items needed and then asked to create a budget. The summer was spent procuring items and making unique items to decorate the cottage. At the end of August, there was a two-day installation. The National Charity members were very happy and excited with the final product. The Class of 2018 created a beautiful, warm, welcoming home for many foster teens and their effort will be greatly appreciated for years by all who enter this very special cottage.

SD Rhythms brings winning rhythmic gymnastics program to Solana Beach BY KAREN BILLING For the last 16 years, the San Diego Rhythms has been dedicated to promoting the sport of rhythmic gymnastics and providing excellence in all aspects of rhythmic gymnastics and dance. While their program has been centered in Carmel Valley and La Jolla, this September they will expand to Solana Beach. Rhythmic gymnastics is a combination of gymnastics, ballet and modern dance, choreographed to music and performed with five apparatuses: ribbons, balls, ropes, hoops and clubs. The Rhythms will offer beginner classes, developmental and competitive teams training at all three locations: the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Polster branch in Carmel Valley, the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla and the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Harper branch in Solana Beach. Sofia Minevich, a former rhythmic and artistic gymnast and figure skater from Russia, founded the Rhythms in Carmel Valley in 2001. Since then it has grown to one of the most well-known programs in the country and has produced several regional, state and national champions. This year, the Rhythms had great success in competitions. Jessica Tijam of Poway became a Level 9 USA Rhythmic Gymnastics National Champion, finishing among the top 12 gymnasts in the country on ribbon and clubs events. Jessica is also a Region 1 level 9 ball and ribbon events champion in her age division and all around silver medalist and Region 1 Junior Olympics team member for the third year in a row. Chloe Zhong, a Canyon Crest Academy sophomore, also competed at the USA Gymnastics Nationals and won a bronze medal

San Diego Rhythm’s Jessica Tijam became a Level 9 USA Rhythmic Gymnastics National Champion in level 9. Two Carmel Valley Rhythms students made it to the USA Gymnastics Rhythmic Future Stars team this year — level 6 gymnast Kaylee Yen and Lucia Feldstein, a level 7 gymnast who is an incoming fifth grader at Sage Canyon Elementary School. Both Kaylee and Lucia recently returned from training at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, New York. Defne Yavuz, a level 7 gymnast and fifth grader at Torrey Hills Elementary School, was named to the US Rhythmic Youth Squad roster and will go to a special training camp at Lake Placid in September.
COURTESY
Carmel Valley’s Kaylee Yen and Lucia Feldstein were named to the USA Gymnastics Rhythmic Future Stars team and trained at Lake Placid this summer. While some of the Rhythms are practicing six times a week and competing at the highest level, the Rhythms are also about fun and fitness, helping to raise happy, healthy, confident, focused and creative individuals, Minevich said. “I like coaching and I like helping kids to become who they are,” Minevich said. “I like to help kids really shine. Some are unsure of who they are but they build confidence and strength. I see in front of my eyes how they change.” All of the coaches are USA Gymnastics Professional members and safety certified, like the well-known Marina Kukhta, who used to
coach a member of the USA Olympic team and Minevich’s daughter Nicole, a Canyon Crest Academy graduate who is a six-time Region 1 Coach of the Year. All of the Rhythms’ assistant coaches are also Carmel Valley residents and former students. “The kids become my extended family,” Minevich said of the extremely close-knit Rhythms organization. “They are not only learning gymnastics but they become best friends and the families help each other out.” To learn more about the Rhythms’ competitive team and developmental rhythmic gymnastics and ballet classes, visit sdrhythmic.net or find them on Facebook.

FROM WATER, A1 state, home to as many as 1 million Californians, lack access to clean and safe drinking water. “We think this is an incredible opportunity to advance human rights for all Californians,” said Jenny Rempel, director of education and engagement with the Community Water Center, a nonprofit based in Visalia. “SB 623 is vitally needed.” Drinking water in communities across the state is contaminated with arsenic, nitrates and other toxins, said Rempel, although California’s Central Valley is disproportionately affected. “This is a health crisis,” Rempel said. “This is a statewide problem that needs a statewide solution.”
According to the language in SB 623 as currently drafted, money from the fund would be used for grants, loans, contracts or services for projects related to the provision of safe and affordable drinking water. The bill would also provide emergency water supplies and money for operation and maintenance of water treatment facilities, Rempel said. But Farrel said his agency is concerned the relatively modest water fee might be only the start. In the future, he said, the water fund could be seen as a source of money for additional purposes, and the fees increased. The old adage about the camel’s nose under the tent is appropriate, Farrel said. “This (water fee) is the
FROM FILMMAKER, A13 can view my previous projects and arrange a time to meet with me, wherein we discuss ways I can visualize their project in the most compelling way possible. Overhead is pretty minimal, as I have my own camera equipment, computer and editing software. Rarely do I need to outsource my work. Q: Were you familiar with the Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards before receiving one this year? A: I was vaguely familiar with the awards before applying. Up until my senior year, I never thought I would stand a chance winning an award bestowed to only 15 Jewish teens in the entire country. Each year in high school, I saw press releases on teens who had previously won the award. I was inspired by their dedication to service and innovation in the community, so I sought to make the most of the resources around me to create a meaningful service project, without the slightest intention of applying for the award in the future. However, upon entering senior year, my parents encouraged me to apply. They have always been an integral source of support in my life. I am forever indebted to them for giving me the support and confidence I needed to thrive in
camel’s nose. We don’t want the rest of the camel under the tent.” The bill is opposed in its present form by the Association of California Water Agencies, and supported by a broad coalition of groups, Rempel said. Because SB 623 includes a new fee on California residents and businesses, it must be passed by a two-thirds vote in the Legislature. The bill was approved by the state Senate, and is now being considered by the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The bill would have to be approved by both houses of the Legislature by Sept.15 to become law during the Legislature’s 2017 session, officials said. It would also need the signature of Gov. Jerry Brown.
the application process and beyond. Q: The term “tikkun olam” means to “repair the world.” When you think about this, what do you see in the world that needs repairing? A: When I think of “tikkun olam,” a few things come into my mind: I think of Frederick Douglass’ maxim that, “it’s easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” This quotation strikes me because I’ve noticed that much of the world’s political and social problems stem from poor education of youth. That is why many of my videos focus on youth-centric nonprofits and my volunteer work is devoted to at-risk youth. If we can build better youth, then we can build a better future, and thus a better world. Q: What does it mean to you to receive the award? A: It is such an honor to be selected and I’m so grateful to the Helen Diller Family Foundation for giving me this opportunity to further my vision for helping others. Receiving this award is not only an honor, but it’s also a validation of the importance and potential of our work; this award allows me to carry on the Jewish tradition of “tikkun olam.” Q: What’s been challenging about running your own nonprofit? A: What is difficult about this project is
FROM TORREY PINES HIGH, A5 CDE report stated. The Foundation runs the club baseball team the AAU Falcons in the fall and winter and does charge players to play on the club team, but the CDE found no evidence that the district requires students to play on the club team and no evidence that the district provides preferential treatment to those who play. “There were students who played on the Foundation’s AAU team who were ultimately cut from the TPHS team and students who did not play on the Foundation’s AAU team and still made the TPHS team,” the CDE report states. The CDE report did find the district needed a stronger response to Gumb’s complaint that the Torrey Pines boys volleyball team was unlawfully charged a transportation fee. Per Gumb’s complaint, the boys volleyball team was required to ride the bus for away games and if they did not ride the bus they did not play. In order to ride the bus, they had to pay a transportation fee. SDUHSD found itself out of compliance in the its own
FROM ATP, A5 Teachers Marianne Rather, Carolyn Wong and Elizabeth Engelberg were at the meet and greet, along with SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill, Assistant Superintendent Mark Miller, Director of School and Student Services Meredith Wadley and SDUHSD board members. The teachers said they were excited for the new school year and looking forward to supporting students in their continued journey toward adult independence. Students checked out their new classrooms and enjoyed cookies and refreshments while also connecting with friends after the summer. “I see so many familiar faces!” remarked one student.

putting what a youth director and I have planned into a cogent narrative. Resolving this issue requires several in-person meetings so I can fully understand what they envision. Another challenge is promotion, of not only my service project, but also the individual videos I make for organizations. I start tackling these obstacles by connecting with the community on Facebook — I’ve found that just a simple share or like can go a long way in garnering viewership and awareness for a cause. Q: What’s been rewarding about the work you’ve been doing? A: Seeing people get excited about an issue because they watched my video. Because igniting some fire in the belly is the first step to making greater change. There is also a great sense of satisfaction from the process of making films itself. I love working the camera and meticulously editing a project on the computer. Q: What has this work taught you about yourself? A: It’s taught me how to be self-sufficient, but also important is that this work has showed me that there are things that I am not good at. So, working with a team or outsourcing a project can be equally important. I’ve also learned the importance of keeping my word, and being careful who I give it to. There have been times
investigation and stated they would take corrective actions, providing reimbursements to any player who felt the fee was mandatory, which Gumb’s complaint said was “insufficient.” The CDE agreed on that point, determining that SDUHSD’s proposed remedy was not compliant with the education code and that “reasonable efforts at reimbursement cannot include a requirement that an affected party demonstrate that they believed the fee was mandatory rather than voluntary.” “By finding itself out of compliance, the district determined that the fee was in fact mandatory,” the CDE report states. The CDE’s corrective actions are that by Sept. 15, the district shall submit evidence that it made reasonable efforts to identify all pupils and guardians who paid a transportation fee. By Oct. 15, the district must submit evidence it has made reasonable efforts to fully reimburse all pupils that have been identified. One item in Gumb’s initial complaint the district has yet to address is the use of school batting cages by outside entities related to an agreement with the foundation. Over the summer, Gumb continued to observe use of the batting cage by a walk-on TPHS baseball coach and another local baseball
setting offers a wonderful learning environment with classrooms that have lots of natural light and space. One of the areas has a lot of space for outdoor activities to help teach students about our environment as well as vocational skills. I am very excited to see what everyone can do working together as we move forward.”
when I’ve stretched myself too thin with academics, conservatory, service, etc., that I drive myself to exhaustion. Q: What is the best advice you’ve ever received? A: To not let my plans interfere with life’s spontaneity and freedom because it’s the spontaneous encounters that may expose us to failure, and failure is the best way to learn. As Peter Diamandis says, “fail early, fail often, fail forward.” Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you? A: That I play ping pong almost every day. Q: Describe your ideal San Diego weekend. A: On Saturday, it would be to meditate with the sunrise at Torrey Pines Preserve; work out; read a book on personal development, neuroscience, or economics; go surfing with friends; hang out with my family; play ping pong; and end the night watching “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” On Sunday, it would be a walk on the beach with family, journaling to assess my failures of last week and goals for the upcoming week, work out, go to the San Diego Zoo (I’ve actually never been before), and get boba tea on Convoy Street with friends, and cook Indian food with my mom. – Lisa Deaderick is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune
organization affiliated with the TPHS coaching staff. Gumb said she believes the practice is illegal and should not be allowed to continue. The district has stated it will take appropriate actions to ensure that all facilities uses are in accordance with board policy and the batting cage agreement is expected to be addressed by the board at a future meeting. Since concluding its investigation, district officials have worked closely with administrators and foundation staff to ensure requests for voluntary donations continue to comply with the law. It recently held two trainings with legal counsel, staff, and parent organization representatives, and will schedule additional training once the school year begins. “Our parents want the best for their kids and the Torrey Pines High School Foundation helps make that happen,” TPHS Foundation Executive Director Nicole Baril said in a release. “We couldn’t be happier with this affirmation from CDE. We hope we can put this controversy behind us and get back to focusing on providing what is in the best interests of our students.”

BY KAREN BILLING It took a quick three days to flip a Paseo Delicias restaurant space into Nick & G’s, the Rancho Santa Fe village’s newest dining destination. Ponsaty’s closed on Aug. 13 and re-opened days later with the new name, revamped menu and freshened-up look. The former home of Delicias restaurant, which closed in late 2015 after more than 19 years in business, became the Grand Restaurant Group’s Ponsaty’s in summer 2016. The restaurant group decided to move in a different direction from Ponsaty’s fine dining, classical French and Spanish cuisine to the “more approachable” savory Mediterranean/Italian dining of Nick & G’s. “We are blessed to be surrounded by an abundance of family and friends in Rancho Santa Fe. We listened to what our guests really wanted and altered our concept accordingly,” owner Sandy DiCicco said. “We will continue to listen and will always strive to make our family, friends and valued customers happy.” “We’re trying to cater to what the community wants and from what I’ve heard so far, this is what they have been looking for,” echoed Executive Chef Brian Freerksen. “Something that is more relaxed, a friendly neighborhood place.” Inspiration for Nick & Gs’ name came directly from DiCicco, who has been cooking up meals for DiCicco’s Italian Restaurant in her hometown of Clovis, Calif., for over 30 years. Through her family-owned and operated restaurant, the new Rancho Santa Fe resident has passed along her passion for cooking to her children, Nicolas (“Nick”) and Gianina (G).

BACK TO SCHOOL: PARENT’S AWARENESS EQUALS CHILD’S SUCCESS By Marlena Medford
Back-to-school time is upon us, which can trigger a lot of emotions for children and teens. Psychologist, Dr. Alix Landon, Psy.D., has a wealth of experience helping families navigate the challenges that can arise—and here she shares her expertise: What can parents do to ensure their children are poised to succeed? One of the keys for students’ success is parental awareness of their child’s academic, emotional, sport performance, and social needs. Students face a myriad of challenges. Psychotherapy allows a doctor to assess, diagnose, and offer treatments. Students receive emotional support and acquire essential psychological skills. Students learn to understand their feelings and how to functionally resolve conflicts. Dr. Landon recommends that corresponding parental training be utilized to reinforce their child’s newly developed skills. Goals for psychotherapy may be specific, such as establishing a change in behavior—or, it can be more general, such as boosting overall self-esteem. What are some common challenges students face? What signs should parents look for, and how can treatment help?
Academic underachievement is associated with repeated failure to complete assignments, poor study skills, and frequent procrastination. Treatment can help students rebuild an interest in academics. Treatment goals are to improve performance and eliminate maladaptive behaviors when confronted with difficulty in learning.
Sports performance struggles are marked by a lack of confidence, easily taking blame for failures, and/ or not listening to advice from coaches or parents. Treatment equips student-athletes to view mistakes as steps to success. Dr. Landon teaches mental strategies to enhance performance (i.e., distraction techniques and establishing positive routines).
Impulsivity is marked by a short attention span and hyperactivity. Treatment can build students’ capacity for on-task behaviors. Parents can learn to establish a reward system for positive behaviors, while also setting firm and consistent limits.
What internships and fellowships do you draw upon to work effectively with children and youth? Dr. Landon’s clinical work with children began at San Diego Youth Services Foster Care, where she worked to reduce juvenile delinquency and helped develop skills to support successful life transitions.
Poor social skills are associated with little or no eye contact, a reluctance to interact, and excessive isolated activities. Treatment can strengthen development of social abilities for those challenged interpersonally (between people) or intrapersonally (within self). Anxiety is linked to chronic fatigue, tension, and irritability. Depression is linked to constant hopelessness, isolation from family and/or peers, and a dip in academic performance. Treatment can resolve the source of anxiety and/or depression by teaching coping strategies and renewing students’ interest in a fulfilled life.
At The Winston School in Del Mar, Dr. Landon taught strategies to control maladaptive behaviors and improve academic performance. While at California State University, San Marcos, Dr. Landon worked with studentathletes to improve sport and academic performance.

KAABOO executive shares insight on festival BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY KAABOO Del Mar returns to the fairgrounds for its third consecutive year from Sept. 15 to Sept. 17. This time around, 70 musical acts such as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, P!nk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse and Weezer will grace the event’s stages. The festival will also include works from visual artists, food from craft vendors and more experiences. Jason Felts, chief brand and marketing officer of KAABOO, who now lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Del Mar, answered questions about the festival’s past, present and future. For more information about the festival, visit kaaboodelmar.com.
What are you looking forward to most this year at KAABOO?
Bask [Day Club]! I love our differentiated concept of having a Vegas-style day club onsite at KAABOO near the Grandview Stage. This is such a fun party zone. It offers views of the stage while hanging out poolside. I think it’s an amazing way to wrap up the summer with friends.
Is there anything new or different this year that fans can be excited about?

Do you have any favorite memories of KAABOO?
My favorite KAABOO memory so far was watching Jimmy Buffett hanging out in the crowd as just another guest dancing and enjoying the music of another band performing. I found it so flattering that one of our headlining artists decided to come back the day after he performed to enjoy the KAABOO experience himself as a guest.

This year, one of the biggest changes is moving the Grandview Stage into the east parking lot.

Calculator finished second, 2 3/4 lengths clear of third-place runner Silent Bird (not pictured). Under jockey Gary Stevens, Giant Expectations traveled the 7 furlongs on the dirt in 1:21.08. “There was some ‘jockeying’ going on out there, especially between (Kent) Desormeaux (on Silent Bird) and me,” Stevens said. “We were going in and out, but my horse loved it (the competition). He’s a bulldog. … I thought he was sitting on something big. He showed it today. And I think he’ll actually be better off if they run him a mile.

Cranes for a Cure Local mother honors her son’s memory with 2,000 crane display at New Children’s Museum Sept. 6-Oct. 7 BY KAREN BILLING An origami crane starts with a simple square piece of paper, rising from a series of meticulous folds. Carmel Valley’s Kathy Liu has made thousands and thousands, with beautiful paper of all colors and patterns, attached to strings, adorned with beads, added to a cheerful mobile or to be a part of a meaningful display. She makes the cranes in memory of her son Joey, who died from a rare form of kidney cancer at age 10. Origami was something that Joey really liked, he loved to fold since he was in kindergarten and by second grade he was extremely good. “When he was here, I never folded,” said Liu. “Now that he’s not here, I fold every day.” Every September since she lost Joey in 2014, she has made a display of 2,000 paper origami cranes as part of her nonprofit Joey’s Wings Crane for a Cure project. The 2,000 birds represent the 2,000 children that die from childhood cancer every year and this year they will take flight at San Diego’s New Children’s Museum from Sept. 6 through Oct. 7 in honor of Joey and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In Chinese and Japanese culture, cranes mean health and hope and good luck. The belief is that if you

As it stands now, only 4 percent of federal funding is spent on childhood cancer research and Liu is on a tireless mission to change that. Liu and her husband, Luke, and son, David, moved to Carmel Valley from Gainesville, Fla., last year. Through Joey’s Wings, Liu raises awareness and funds for childhood cancer and supports children and families going through the same fight. She makes mobiles for young

There’s a Joey’s Wings 5K and a gala in Florida every year and the Burn Running Club, a nonprofit in
the Bay Area, also holds an annual race to support Joey’s Wings. Now that Liu is in San Diego she is focused less on events and more on lobbying efforts. In May, she represented California with 200 advocates from all over the country for Childhood Cancer Action Day, meeting with legislators on Capitol Hill. “Childhood cancer is so sad,
people don’t want to talk about it,” Liu said. “It’s a challenge (to receive funding) because it’s rare. Seven children every day in America die from cancer and 46 are diagnosed, 263 children die every day around the world from childhood cancer. If we find a cure it’s not just for our kids, it’s for kids all over the world.” Even at a young age, Joey was known for his talented hands — he was the youngest violin player in the Alachua County Youth Orchestra. He was a very talented artist and loved playing music, painting and origami. He also was a whiz at math, winning a Florida Math League Contest. He loved science, was an avid reader and like many kids his age, he loved Legos and Minecraft and soccer. In March of 2013, 9-year-old Joey was diagnosed with a rare type of kidney cancer that is very hard to treat. By the time he was diagnosed, it had spread from his kidney to his abdomen, chest and neck. As there was no standard treatment, for 20 months the Lius tried a variety of options and Joey had two major surgeries at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. While in Cincinnati to try immunotherapy, one of the first child cancer patients to try the adult treatment, Joey slipped into a coma and was transferred back to Gainesville to Shands Children’s Hospital where he passed away two days later, the day before Thanksgiving Nov. 26, 2014. He was 10 years old and in the fifth grade. He never completed his last painting he had been working on SEE CRANES, B13
Amazon takes on extreme sports service Vaporvue BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Vaporvue, the nation’s first video-on-demand service for extreme sports, took a giant step forward last week with its inclusion into Amazon Channels, one of the world’s largest digital content platforms. Launched in 2014, Vaporvue is co-founded by Solana Beach resident Ira Opper, creator of TheSurfNetwork and a global pioneer in extreme sports filmmaking. Opper has pushed the industry’s leading edge throughout his nearly 40-year career, and now lays claim to what he says may be the largest archive of extreme-sports content in the world. The Vaporvue library includes more than 600 films, TV series, documentaries and other digital content for unlimited viewing. Its offerings go far beyond the staples of skiing, snowboarding, surfing and BMX: Vaporvue viewers have at their fingertips a wealth of high-definition content on kayaking, wingsuits, mountain-climbing and even
stand-up paddleboarding. The service is available to Amazon Prime members for $4.99 a month with a 7-day free trial. The inclusion on Amazon Channels positions Vaporvue to tap into demand for extreme sports content that has surged thanks to the addition of skateboarding, surfing and sports climbing to the 2020 Olympics. “Amazon Channels provides Vaporvue an unprecedented distribution opportunity. We are thrilled that they selected our company to deliver extreme sports movies to their Prime members,” Opper said. “The audience for high-quality extreme sports movies are passionate. It’s awesome to fuel that passion with professionally produced films that entertain, inform and enlighten.” Opper’s production company also runs Gilad TV, which focuses on fitness training and is also available thru Amazon Channels.

Geppetto’s celebrates 25th anniversary with parties, ‘Golden Ticket’ contest It has been 25 years since the Miller family purchased a single toy store and began the expansion that has made Geppetto's into the largest independent toy retailer in the country. Geppetto’s has nine locations in San Diego County, including stores in Del Mar Highlands Town Center and Flower Hill Promenade. To celebrate, Geppetto's is turning the tables on a traditional birthday party by giving out gifts and goodies instead of receiving them. On Saturday, Sept. 16, Geppetto's will host a thank you party at all locations from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. featuring free food, entertainment, activities and crafts, party decorations and a free signature Geppetto's drawstring backpack filled with over $30 worth of toys from some of the store's most popular brands, including Lego, Mattel, Crazy Aaron's and Melissa & Doug (while supplies last). An active part of the San Diego community, Geppetto's believes in helping those that help children in need. Also part of the anniversary celebration is a first-ever "Golden Ticket" contest featuring a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Toy Fair in New York for a lucky child under 16 (plus adult).
Beginning Sept. 1, Geppetto's will be selling commemorative chocolate bars for $2 with 100 percent of profits benefiting Rady Children's Hospital. Hidden in one of these chocolate bars somewhere in San Diego County will be the winning Golden Ticket, entitling the winner to an amazing adventure at the 2018 Toy Fair in New York Feb. 16 -18, including: Two round trip air tickets from San Diego to New York (one adult, one child), hotel for two nights in New York City, $500 spending cash and a priceless VIP morning at Toy Fair at Javits Center. The winning child will cut the ribbon to open the 2018 fair, walk in the show parade and get a VIP tour of special toy manufacturer displays led by Geppetto's owner Brian Miller and the entire Miller family. “What a unique and fun way to raise money for the hospital,” said Lori Mathios, director of annual giving for Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation. “We appreciate Geppetto’s longtime support of the hospital and wish the community good luck in finding the Golden

“If he could’ve gotten it sooner, it could’ve given him more time,” said Liu, who now works to assist parents in petitioning for compassionate use of drugs as it is a very “daunting” process. “Only three drugs have been approved for childhood cancer in 50 years. Most have no hope because there’s just not drugs for children and a lot of patients need compassionate use.” She is happy to see positive steps forward as on Aug. 17, the RACE for Children Act became law. Under RACE for Children, companies developing cancer drugs are required to develop drugs for children when the molecular targets are relevant to childhood cancers. Additionally, RACE will result in more research dollars going to pediatric cancer clinical research. “This is huge,” Liu said of lobbying efforts making an impact. “I will keep lobbying every year.” She plans to return to Washington, DC next year despite the fact that her life just got a whole lot busier: She recently accepted a full-time teaching job in the San Diego Unified School District, teaching Mandarin immersion classes at Barnard Asian Pacific Language Academy. Liu continues to fold and her efforts with Cranes for a Cure inspire others around the world, who send boxes and boxes of paper cranes, recently one even came from Australia. “There are so many touching stories,” she said, noting one boy sent her 3,000 cranes he made after he lost his dog in a car accident. He had seen one of Liu’s cranes at the post office, where Liu had given one to a postal worker who had been going through chemotherapy. Along with the 3,000 cranes the boy had sent a note: “Losing my dog was very sad, I cannot imagine losing a child.” Liu lives with that loss every day and every day she works to spread awareness, folding her cranes, finishing Joey’s painting, working for change and a cure. “I feel the cranes bring healing and peace,” Liu said. “By doing this, I feel more at peace and feel the spirit of Joey. That’s the inspiration of how I keep doing this.” For more information, visit www.joeywings.org and thinkplaycreate.org
in the hospital, painting a dragon while lying on his side because he was so weak. Liu keeps the painting prominently displayed in her home as a reminder of the work she has to finish in Joey’s name. “The painting wasn’t for Joey to finish. The rest of the painting is for us and the researchers to finish and find a cure,” Liu said. Liu started Joey’s Wings in her son’s memory and she has kept busy. Joey’s Wings is working with the UT Southwestern Medical Center’s kidney cancer program, considered number one in the world — Joey’s Wings donated $100,000 to the lab, which was able to hire a full-time researcher to study the cancer. Joey’s Wings also funds massage therapy for patients at Shands Children’s Hospital, which she would also like to do for Rady Children’s Hospital. Personally, Liu volunteers every month at the Ronald McDonald House, cooking for the families. In Washington, DC, Liu joins fellow childhood cancer advocates to lobby for increased funding — one of the greatest challenges of pediatric cancer research has been a lack of access to new treatments for children. One of Liu’s strongest fights with Joey was for compassionate use, a way for patients to try new drugs that have not yet been approved. With Joey, she petitioned drug companies for the use of a new immunotherapy drug that targeted the type of tumor Joey had. One of the drugs had been successful in adult cancer trials but pediatric trials had been delayed. Liu argued to get compassionate use of new drugs, pushing drug companies from April to September of 2014. The FDA approved the drug Keytruda on Sept. 4 for off-label use and an oncologist in Cincinnati agreed to try the drug with Joey. By October, after the first injection, his tumor was still growing but he showed no major side effects. After a second injection, all tumors stopped and those in his neck shrank significantly. However, at that point, Joey’s tiny body had weakened and his kidney stopped working.

CHARMAINE GRAY PHOTOGRAPHY
Participants in the 2016 Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon.
12th Annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon gets ready to make a splash With summertime nearing its close, west-coast canines wouldn’t dream of missing the singular event of the beach season – Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 12th Annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon, held at Dog Beach in Del Mar, presented by Blue Buffalo. Surfing canines love this dog surf-competition in particular because it’s the only local one-of-its-kind with 100 percent of the proceeds going towards helping orphan pets. The phenomenal success of the once-humble dog surfing competition that had its start at Helen Woodward Animal Center has turned “dogs on surfboards” into a platform to raise life-saving funds and remind the world that “man’s best friend” can do phenomenal things. The 12th annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon is presented by Blue Buffalo and takes place at Dog Beach Del Mar on Sunday, Sept. 10 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Helen Woodward Animal Center’s canine surf contest is the longest-running one of its kind in the country and will feature up to 80 dogs surfing in four different weight
class competitions. Keeping their eyes on the prize, “Top Surf Dog 2017” hopefuls have attended recent Center Surf Dog classes with tail-wagging enthusiasm in hopes of grabbing the coveted title on the big day. Dogs, with help from their human parents, will participate in 10-minute heats based on weight class. Each dog is judged on their ability to ride the waves, stay on the board, and have lots of fun. First, second, and third place winners will be awarded for each weight class and the first place winners will move ahead to the finals – Best-In-Surf. Each surFUR heat will be judged by celebrities, surf pros, and aficionados. Dog surf-activities will also feature a separate, freestyle surf contest where points will be awarded for creativity! Dogs can surf on the same board as their friends, or favorite human. Tandem rides, and costumes are all encouraged to catch the public and the judges' eyes. Other dog-and-family friendly activities scheduled at the 12th Annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon include the Surf Dog Hall-of-Fame Induction

Ceremony, and live beach tunes, as well as regular event favorites including the pup-ular Canine Costume Contest, 50 interactive vendor booths with great gifts, snacks and dog items available for purchase, opportunity drawings, and a free special Kids’ Activity area – with crafts, face painting, games and more. The event has a lot to celebrate in its 12th year as supporters, sponsors and families of individual canine athletes have called “all paws on deck” in an incredible push for participation and fundraising, which to-date has already raised thousands. Pooches who are “paw-ing it forward” by raising funds have a very special goal in mind. In addition to the satisfaction of knowing they’ve helped orphan pets in need, the top-winning fundraiser will receive a special surf-photoshoot with their picture featured on the 2018 Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon billboard, seen by thousands throughout San Diego.

The Nutty Professor: Back-to-School Eats
T
he other day I found myself in the crosshairs of a heated argument between a mom and her school-age children in the supermarket aisle of jams and nut butters, which struck a chord of déjà vu with my daughters a handful of years earlier. Both sides were stalemated over the controversial back-to-school staple — peanut butter. Although, I gathered from the dialogue that the kids did not have any peanut allergies, the mother still stood firm against the spreadable legume. Alas, they all stormed out of the market without even reaching a culinary compromise. Peanut butter sandwiches, whether paired with jellies, preserves, honey or bananas, have been the favorite, iconic, rib-sticking American lunch for generations. Over the past few years an increasing (and alarming) number of deadly peanut allergies, particularly among children have emerged, making the legume persona non grata at schools since the mere inhaling of the aromatic oil and airborne peanut dust have been found to trigger a reaction. Researchers from Australia claim to have made a major breakthrough in a peanut allergy cure with a trial study using an oral probiotic peanut immunotherapy for
children. These kids who were previously peanut allergic or sensitive were able to tolerate peanuts after several months of treatment. Allergies aside, the conventional peanut crop carries a heavy pesticide load. Even organically grown peanuts are vulnerable to the formation of a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin that forms on the legume both preand post-harvesting. So we can see why the mom at the market was adamant about throwing peanut butter under the school bus. If the tiny taste buds in your household insist on peanut butter, there’s a quick fix. Simply blend a few drops of natural, and where possible, organic peanut-flavored extract (that does not contain any legume or tree nut substances) into a neutral-flavored nut or seed butter like tahini, and you have created a healthier mock peanut butter version without offensive allergens, molds or pesticides. Tahini is a smooth and creamy paste from pulverized sesame seeds, one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, that also resembles peanut butter in texture, taste and color. These petite precious seeds are blessed with a load of protein (5 grams per ounce), amino acids and fiber, along with vitamins and minerals, including copper, magnesium,
calcium, folate, zinc, iron, Vitamin B6 and phosphorous, translating to more than a dozen health benefits, including amping up blood, bone, heart, respiratory and digestive health, and warding off Type 2 diabetes. Almond butter is another Herculean peanut butter substitute, delicately flavored, whether crunchy or smooth, containing monounsaturated “friendly” fats, and a rich store of protein, fiber and phytonutrients, such as, bone building magnesium and calcium, antioxidant, immune enhancing alpha-tocopherol, cell regenerating Vitamin E’s, and nerve calming, energy enhancing B’s. In Japan teens have a yen for a high protein and calcium concoction of dried sardines and slivered almonds, while in India almonds are considered “brain food” for developing children. Yet walnuts that coincidentally resemble miniature hemispheres of the brain are loaded with plant-based omega-3’s, aka alpha-linolenic acid that increase cognitive functioning similar to those from animal sources by keeping the brain lubricated and lively. Soporific walnuts also bolster melatonin levels, one of the sleep regulating hormones. So munch a cracker or biscuit slathered with some scrumptious walnut butter (see recipe) before bedtime for some quality zzz’s, making us all well rested and alert in the morning. Or spread some silky, nutrient rich seed butters, whether pumpkin (pepita) or sunflower with loads of protein, heart-healthy fatty acids, iron and zinc on a whole wheat or multi-grain bagel, tortilla, baguette or slice of thick-cut bread. Since pepitas are low in allergens they have a wide range of appeal (and tolerance).
Walnut Butter ■ Ingredients: 2 cups of raw, organic walnuts; 2 teaspoons of nut oil (walnut, almond), or avocado or coconut oil; 1 tablespoon of creamy, raw honey; pink salt to taste; a few drops of vanilla extract (optional). ■ Method: Add ingredients to blender or food processor, and blend to desired consistency. Chill in an airtight mason jar until ready to enjoy. Spread on bread of choice with organic fruit preserves, and cut out fun shapes with cookie cutters, fill the hollows of crisp celery sticks, or use as a dipping paste for cut apples, carrot sticks or other favorite treats. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Fighting the Good Fight: The Benefits of Conflict Watch any movie or TV show or read any book and you’ll know that the active ingredient to any story is the conflict. Conflict is what tests the hero. What happens if the heroes avoid conflict at all costs? Well, in most cases, their world usually falls down all around them, and either they are forced into the conflict, becoming heroes, or the story ends very, very badly. This isn’t just true of good entertainment; our lives are built around conflicts, big and small. There has been research on the benefits of conflict for decades, not only psychologically but also socially and professionally. Conflict contributes to social change. In a large group, conflict can help find the best resolutions, keeping the group from making a hasty or reckless decision.
Most importantly, close relationships can’t be sustained without a little conflict. When two people come into each other’s lives, there’s bound to be a bumping up of ideas and desires. Partners in strong relationships won’t always agree, but they will have a constructive process for resolving differences. Conflict helps a couple to work through the issues, and more importantly, it can teach people a lot about themselves and others in the process. So what are the best ways to handle conflict?
them. None of this leads to improved wellbeing. However, someone who is conflict-positive might encourage conflict with others in order to reach a constructive means of maximizing the potential of a situation. This is different from a person who takes conflict too far, to the point of aggression—a conflict addict. A conflict-positive person seeks to resolve the conflict constructively so that everyone involved can benefit from the resolution and that the relationship is strengthened as a result.
Don’t be the wrecking ball or the doormat.
Aggressive, Passive-Aggressive, or Assertive?
The two ends of the spectrum—people who are addicted to conflict and those who are allergic to it. Someone who is conflict-negative avoids conflict at all costs, or if faced with conflict, will handle it destructively. Conflict-negative people are prone to withdrawing, out of fear of rejection or shaming, and will conceal their true feelings to avoid a conflict. Shutting down might seem easier than risking a potential conflict, sometimes at the expense of clinging to a lie or deception rather than being authentic. Avoiding conflict in this way will often make it difficult for others to trust
Some people thrive on an aggressive form of conflict because it makes them feel powerful or more alive, or that backing down is a form of losing, even if they are wrong. But that’s not what it means to embrace conflict in a healthy way. Have you ever suppressed feelings only to make underhanded comments that border on hostile? This is being passive-aggressive, which can happen when anger or resentment builds up in a conflict-negative person, and it’s a type of emotional manipulation. Being assertive doesn’t mean being aggressive.

But it takes courage to stand up for yourself or ideas, to be authentic, even if conflict may ensue. If being assertive is new to you, keep these points in mind: Be honest. It doesn’t help to lie and manipulate, especially since the goal should be agreement and cohesion. Lying will only break trust, if not now, then further down the line. And the conflict gives you the chance to put your ideas and your needs out into the open. Especially in a relationship, being able to assert your wants and needs helps to keep your authenticity—and individuality.
Listen. Don’t try to bully people into your way of thinking. Be flexible. Conflict is a great teacher of flexibility. When you really listen to other people’s ideas, you may find that your own ideas can be shaped by someone else’s input.

FROM KABOO, B4 exhibitions, to the fact that you will never see a port-a-potty, KAABOO has an upscale feeling which I believe the residents of Del Mar and all of San Diego appreciate.
Why does Del Mar continue to be the ideal place for KAABOO?
The Del Mar Fairgrounds is a great partner and the venue lends itself to our vision. With the infrastructure in place and a staff and management team at the Del Mar Fairgrounds that share our vision for creating a world-class live music event, it is an ideal location.
What do you envision for the festival’s future?
We look forward to having a long-term relationship with this venue. Each year, we will continue to spread the word about the uniqueness of KAABOO and beauty of the area by inviting guests, both local and worldwide, to enjoy our three-day event. KAABOO Del Mar will always be our flagship venue and we are proud to call San Diego/Del Mar our home.
FROM NICK & G’S, B2 overhauled the look with new tables and chairs inside and out. The front patio has been updated with new banquettes and lights in the trees and they also enclosed the interior patio and made it more of a lounge-feel — the hope is to bring in a live music. Freerksen said he has enjoyed the livened up atmosphere in the new restaurant’s first
What would you say sets KAABOO apart from other music festivals?
Our lineup is very diverse and arguably more diverse than any other festival. KAABOO truly appears to a more mature demographic. We often have multiple generations enjoying the event together. Also, KAABOO’s art program is another substantial differentiator. Our art program is more robust than most festivals with both the large-scale onsite murals and the full contemporary art exhibition inside ARTWORK. One other major differentiator is all of the experiences on-site – KAABOO is truly more than just music. Our comedy experience, Humor Me, is an indoor, seated comedy club. Our Bask Day Club is comparable to a Vegas-style day club with CLUB Elevate as the nighttime equivalent. The culinary spread in PALATE is also very different. At KAABOO, we strive to have a wide assortment of gourmet food and craft libations available, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Our PALATE experience really is a mini food and beverage festival within the greater KAABOO event co-mingled within the ARTWORK experience. I am personally excited about the dessert options, as well.

The Coldwell Banker “Homes for Dogs National Adoption Weekend” runs Sept. 9-10.
Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and local shelters join forces for ‘Homes for Dogs National Adoption Weekend’
On Sept. 9 and 10, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage San Diego offices and local shelters are joining hundreds of Coldwell Banker offices and animal shelters around the country for the Coldwell Banker “Homes for Dogs National Adoption Weekend.” For adoption event locations, please contact a Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage affiliated agent or office. The nationwide adoption weekend is part of the “Homes for Dogs Project,” a three-year campaign launched by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC and
Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website. In just the first year alone, the organizations helped to facilitate more than 20,000 adoptions. Coldwell Banker launched “Somebody to Love,” in April 2017, a national advertising campaign which told the stories of a man and a homeless dog who find each other. It was lauded one of the highest ranking ads of all time by Ace Metrix, and was praised by the New York Times as being a “commercial to love.” “We are lucky enough to help people in the San
Diego community find new homes every day,” said Jamie Duran, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Orange County, Riverside County and San Diego Companies. “Now, we get to extend that service to homeless pets in need. It’s a win-win.” Find more information about the event and where to adopt a pet in the area, visit adoptapet.com/ homesfordogs.
