R. Roger Rowe students outperform state, county on new assessment tests BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board celebrated above-average Smarter Balanced Assessment test scores at its Oct. 9 meeting. Over half of students in grades 3-5 exceeded standards in math and English language arts on the SBAC test. Fifty-six percent of RSF elementary school students exceeded standards in math compared with only 14 percent of students in the state and 18 percent of students in San Diego County. In middle school, 39 percent exceeded standards in math and 33 percent met the standards in math. Forty-seven percent of RSF middle schoolers met the ELA standards and 33 percent exceeded them, again a marked improvement over state and county percentages.
“We have some good news to share and some areas for opportunity for growth,” said Superintendent Lindy Delaney. “The students as a whole really put their heart and soul into taking this test. It was a longer test, it was a harder test and I’m very proud of their efforts. We now have our marching orders to move forward.” This spring was the first year for the SBAC California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) tests, which replaced the STAR tests for students in grades 3-8 in English Language Arts (ELA) and math. Students were tested in the claims (or subject areas) of reading, writing, listening and research inquiry in ELA. In math, students were tested in the claims of concepts of proceSee TESTS, page 22

San Dieguito tour shows how campuses are benefiting from Prop AA funds BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District let the public get an up-close look at some of the new classroom and school updates they are proudest of with a Prop AA tour on Oct. 8. All the stops on the tour featured projects that were completed using funds from Prop AA, the $449 million general obligation bond passed by voters in 2012. Many of the projects on the tour were completed over the summer, using the latest bond draw of $117 million.

The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club held its third annual Taste of Rancho Santa Fe, a food and wine festival, Oct. 11 on the lawns of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Twenty local restaurants showcased their award-winning chefs alongside more than 20 wineries from Napa Valley and local regions.

RSF Association Board Biz: Why living in the Covenant is special: an ‘a-ha’ moment BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD About a month ago, an Association member wrote a letter to the Review, asking: “Are you getting value for Association dues?” This member, who has lived in the Covenant for 20 years, believes it is important that a Covenant residence entitles its owner access to a lifestyle and amenities that are unavailable to those living outside of the Covenant. This member made several important points. First, she said, “We are more than just a golf or tennis community. We are a community that offers golf and tennis as options.” The numbers bear this out. Only 25 percent of our homeowners are members of the RSF Golf Club, and fewer than 12 percent are members of the Tennis Club. Many members use our trails, either walking or on horseback. Many members are families with young children who engage in a variety of sports activities on our playing fields. Many of our members belong to small groups within the
Ann Boon Covenant and are looking for ways to be part of a larger Covenant community. The author of this recent letter wrote to advocate adding other amenities, such as high-speed Internet or a health club and pool facility, that will benefit all homeowners for generations to come. She believes that these shared amenities would add value to our lives and to our property. Her second point was just as important. Non-Covenant memberships in our Covenant amenities are on the rise. Several years ago, the RSF Golf Club asked for a membership category called “Former Residents.” This category allows members who have lived in the Covenant and been members of the Golf Club for 10 years to retain their mem-
bership after they have moved out of the Covenant. Initially, when the RSF Association board was asked to approve this category, the reason given was that current golf members wanted to be able to continue to play golf with their old friends. More than 6 percent of the Golf Club memberships are now Former Residents, and the ability to play with old friends is also a financial bonus for club members. Non-Covenant members pay only a small premium to retain the privilege of playing at RSF Golf Club. Current members keep their own dues much lower due to Former Residents paying dues. Earlier this year, the RSF Tennis board asked to accept non-Covenant members as well. Their argument in asking the RSF Association board for approval was that it is important for tennis players to have other players with similar skills and abilities. Like the golfers, they wanted to be able to play with their friends. Now, the non-Covenant memberships contribute significantly to the financial health of the Tennis Club.
In allowing for these non-Covenant memberships, past and current RSF Association boards wanted to be helpful and accommodating to golfers and tennis players. However, as the categories increase at both clubs, homeowners throughout the Covenant are now asking: Is it fair for people who do not pay Association dues to have membership privileges at clubs that were developed as exclusive amenities for Association members? As board members, we now must wrestle with this question. My “a-ha” moment came when I read the October 2015 issue of the Divot, which is the Golf Club’s member newsletter. The president of the Golf Club’s Board of Governors wrote very eloquently about our beautiful course and our historic club. The president described how many choices and different experiences are available in the area for golfers at wonderful public courses and private clubs. She went on to say, “Or … we can move to the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant and join an historic club.” Evidently emphasizing that property
ownership in the Covenant is a requirement for membership in the RSF Golf Club, she stated: “I have yet to find a golfer that lives outside the Covenant that wouldn’t join our club in a heartbeat if they could.” That is a pretty dramatic statement — and so clearly and simply put by the club president. What makes — or should make — our Covenant community so special is that we have amenities that are for the exclusive enjoyment of Covenant homeowners. We must give people reasons to move here and to stay here! We don’t want to give longtime members an incentive to sell their property and move. We’d all like to keep our old friends around! It remains to be determined whether we, as RSF Association board members or as fellow homeowners, ultimately decide to add new amenities to our Covenant or not. Community votes and board decisions on many issues lie ahead. Nevertheless, the importance of limiting membership privileges and access to our Covenant amenities to current Association dues-
paying homeowners is becoming more apparent to many of us. This has been a fundamental tenet of the storied history of Rancho Santa Fe. To echo the words of the president of the Golf Club, I’d like to be able to say, “I have yet to meet anyone that lives outside the Covenant that wouldn’t move here in a heartbeat if they could.” • Last weekend we held our second Saturday morning Village Gathering in the green space in front of the Inn. If you missed our fun lawn games, social time and food truck, mark your calendar for the next one on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Village Vibe Committee will also be hosting a pumpkin carving event for the little ones on Thursday, Oct. 29, after school.

In ‘After You,’ best-selling author Moyes continues to explore character’s life BY LOIS ALTER MARK Although best-selling author Jojo Moyes visited only seven cities on her latest U.S. book tour, she made sure San Diego was one of them. “I love San Diego so much,� she said, admitting that she even brought her family on vacation to La Jolla this past summer. “San Diego readers have supported me from the very beginning, and it is now one of my favorite places to visit.� Because Warwick’s of La Jolla holds a special place in L-R: Julie Slavitsky of Warwick’s, Jojo Moyes and Susan her heart, she not only spoke Appleby of the RSF Library Guild. Photo courtesy of Lois and signed copies of her new Alter Mark book, “After You,� at the store recently, but she was also the featured guest at an author luncheon hosted by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild in partnership with Warwick’s to benefit the Rancho Santa Fe Library. “When we announced that Jojo Moyes was coming, the response from every woman over 25 was the equivalent of telling a teenage girl they were going to see Taylor Swift,� said Susan Appleby, director of membership and development for the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, in her introduction to the author. “Jojo is a rock star.� The sold-out crowd apparently agreed, cheering when Moyes announced, with her charming British accent, “This is the last day of my tour. So I’m going to go crazy.� Before reading a short excerpt from “After You,� she asked whether anyone in the audience didn’t know the ending to “Me Before You,� its beloved predecessor. When a few people reluctantly raised their hands, she warned, “It may give something away to say that we’re about to go into a grief counseling group.� “Me Before You,� which has sold almost 6 million copies since it came out in 2012, is the story of Louisa Clark, an ordinary working-class girl who takes a job as the personal assistant to Will Traynor, an intelligent, wealthy and very angry young man who seemed to
have it all until an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. The book is based on an actual story Moyes heard on the radio one day in which a rugby player, after years of living as a quadriplegic, had persuaded his parents to take him to Dignitas, a center for assisted suicide. “It was one of those stories that just wouldn’t leave my head,� said Moyes, the mother of three. “I couldn’t understand how any parent could agree to help their child end his life. But because I’m an ex-journalist, I did a lot of reading about the subject and, the more I read, the more I realized this young man and his family members had all been put in an intolerable position.� At the same time, Moyes had two family members of her own who required 24-hour care just to stay alive. “The issue of quality of life was very high in my mind,� she said. If book sales are any indication, it was high in the minds of readers, as well. According to Moyes, she started — and is still — receiving letters and emails from caregivers, people who had suffered from chronic illness or depression, people who’d had similar experiences in their family and people who were just feeling stuck and not leading the life they had planned when they were 15 and dreaming of big adventures. “They told me things like, ‘After I read “Me Before You,� I ditched my boyfriend, I ditched my job and now I’m going around the world,’� said Moyes in amazement. “And they got tattoos! There’s a whole gallery of ‘Me Before You’ tattoos, and I’m just a total mum, going, ‘Is that permanent?’� But the question that the majority of readers wanted to know was, “What did Louisa do next?� That question intrigued Moyes herself. “Louisa’s voice has never left me,� she confessed. “She’s a good person, and when I think of my daughter reading this book, I want her to take away an image not of a woman who just buys stuff or worries about how she looks, but of a woman who has a good heart and does things with her life.� “After You� continues Louisa’s tale and, said Moyes, it’s not the end of the story. “I see it as a trilogy and I do have a third one in mind, but I have to let it marinate a bit,� she said. “I feel a huge responsibility toward Louisa because she’s the most beloved character I’ve created in 14 books. I want to make sure I get it right.� By the time that novel is written, readers are likely to picture the characters as Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin, thanks to the movie version of “Me Before You,� which MGM will be releasing next spring. That may be the perfect time for Moyes to schedule her next appearance in San Diego.

President Obama plays at The Crosby At the end of a West Coast visit, President Barack Obama played golf at The Crosby National Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe. His motorcade arrived at the club at 7:45 a.m. Monday, Oct. 12, after which he warmed up on the driving range, short game area, and putting green before his tee time at 8:15 a.m. The playing group was six in total and included two good friends and White House staff. (Photos on this page were taken at The Crosby Golf Club.) President Obama spent Saturday and Sunday nights at the luxury Rancho Valencia resort. The president also played a round of golf at Torrey Pines on Sunday afternoon. Before arriving in the San Diego area on Saturday, Oct. 10, the president visited Roseburg, Ore. — the site of a shooting at Umpqua Community College two weeks ago. He did not attend any public events in the San Diego area. “We were honored to have the President of the United States enjoy the club and golf course at the Crosby National. We take great pride in serving our members and their guests and providing a world-class experience,” said Ed Sanabria, general manager of The Crosby National Golf Club. “This particular guest required a few additional details that we were happy to accommodate. It is not every day that the president drops in for a round of golf.” The Crosby National Golf Club’s course was designed by Fred Couples and Brian Curley, and serves as the centerpiece of The Crosby private gated community.

SB School District to poll voters on bond issue BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Solana Beach School District will soon look to voters to help decide whether a general obligation bond should be placed on the ballot in 2016. (Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe is part of the Solana Beach School District.) The school board on Oct. 8 unanimously approved a contract with Public Policy Strategies for election and polling consulting services. The not-to-exceed $68,000 contract covers election opinion, community outreach and polling for the consideration of a bond. “I think, based on what I saw, the district did a great job in figuring out the best company to give us the best information,” said board member Richard Leib. “Tom Shepard with Public Policy Strategies has done a lot of campaigns and knows the area very well. I think he’ll provide excellent resources for us.” Public Policy Strategies is the latest consultant on Solana Beach School District’s bond support team. Bowie, Arneson, Wiles & Giannone serves as the district’s bond counsel by providing legal advice regarding a potential bond measure and preparing primary bond documents. Solana Beach is also working with Capitol PFG, which has served as the district’s financial adviser since 2011, and
Stifel, which has previously underwritten transactions for the district. In addition, four architectural firms responded to the district’s request for proposals for the reconstruction of Skyline and the modernization of Solana Highlands. The proposals are under review. With Public Policy Strategies a part of the team, the district aims to develop poll questions this month with the firm’s locally based polling contractor, Tom Shepard & Associates Inc. The poll is planned for late October through November. Superintendent Terry Decker said the consultant plans to use a “range of approaches” when conducting the poll and intends to gather responses from about 300 people. Polling results should be available for review in December. The planned poll is the district’s latest step in exploring whether to place a general obligation bond on the ballot next year. Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools and a child development center. Last fall, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated. Skyline School, for example, was constructed in phases between 1955 and 1961 and was modernized in 2000.

WWII air hero soars again as he shares story with local crowd • Retired U.S. Marine flying ace fought Japanese pilots over the Pacific, gave air support to American troops BY KRISTINA HOUCK The local community had an opportunity to meet a true hero when one of the last surviving World War II Marine Corps ace pilots spoke to a crowd Oct. 4 at the Del Mar Hilton. Retired U.S. Marine Col. Dean Caswell shared his story as part of a speaker series by the San Dieguito American Legion Post 416. “We have an unspeakable pleasure to have one of the great American heroes in our midst,” said Post 416 Commander Steve Lewandowski as he introduced the colonel. “The stories that this man has to tell are unbelievable. He truly is a great American hero.” “I’m honored, myself, to be here, to talk to you and to hear your stories, too,” the colonel said in response. “It’s quite a privilege for me.” The 93-year-old, who is also a former Blue Angel pilot, talked about his military experience, explaining how he served in Japan during WWII. He fought the Japanese over the Pacific and provided air support to troops in Okinawa. “The young need to know our history,” he said. Caswell joined the Marine Corps two weeks before the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. With two years of college, he requested flight training and was eligible. He remembered the comments his instructor wrote in his first flight log. “He wrote, ‘He sure tries hard, but he’s very uncoordinated,’” Caswell said with a laugh. Despite the shaky start, Caswell soloed after three hours of instruction and continued on to train as a fighter pilot in Santa Barbara. In 1944, Caswell joined Fast Carrier Task Group 58. Led by Admiral Marc Mitscher at Ulithi in the Caroline Islands, Caswell said the task group comprised 800 ships, including 14 big carriers, and numerous smaller carriers, battleships and supply ships. Their mission was to cripple Japanese air power and provide support in the 1945 battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. “I was a part of that,” Caswell said. His first aerial combat was at 28,000 feet over Tokyo. “I didn’t really know where I was, and I wasn’t getting good oxygen, so it wasn’t making me feel very good,” Caswell said. “Suddenly, a Japanese fighter appeared above me. I did not know they could fly higher than we could. I did not know that they had superchargers, but they did. That airplane went straight down, and I never saw him again. “By the time the combat was over, I had shot at everything I could shoot at. I didn’t hit a thing — I didn’t know where I was. When I got back to the carrier, the ceiling was 300 feet, with snow. That was my first carrier landing in the winter.” For nine months, the Marine fighter pilot flew missions from the USS Bunker Hill.
Retired U.S. Marine Col. Dean Caswell, pictured during WWII at left and today at right, shared his story with San Dieguito American Legion Post 416. Photos by Kristina Houck “Task Force 58 attempted to kill every Japanese airplane they could find,” he said. “The theory was if they could destroy Japanese air power, then we could launch attacks from Okinawa into the homeland, and hopefully, win the war. The Japanese were not going to surrender.” Caswell became an ace for shooting down seven confirmed enemy aircraft and destroying 25 to 30 planes on the ground — and never once receiving a bullet hole in his Corsair aircraft. “My plane was famous,” Caswell said. But it wasn’t easy. At 23, the 6-foot-1 Caswell weighed 185 pounds. In those nine months, he lost 43 pounds. “When it was over and I was still alive, I weighed 142 pounds,” he recalled. “Nine months took that.” Caswell went on to serve the country for more than 30 years, flying in three wars, including WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He was awarded the Silver Star, the Distinguished Flying Cross with three Gold Stars, and the Air Medal with five Gold Stars. He details his experiences in his memoir, “My Taking Flight.” “There are many stories,” he said.

RSF Historical Society hears lecture by expert on ancient Mexican pottery The RSF Historical Society presented a lecture by Dr. James Kemp on “The Pottery of Mata Ortiz” on Oct. 3. An expert on Native Americans, Kemp spoke last fall at the Historical Society on “Kachina Dolls and Dances.” Mata Ortiz pottery was crafted based on the ancient designs found in shards around the area of Mata Ortiz in Mexico, and today is collected and sold around the world, appreciated for its individual beauty and craftsmanship. Kemp, a resident of Julian, and a retired clinical professor at UC San Diego, became fascinated with Native American and other related cultures after moving to the Southwest from the East Coast. “I found a wealth of cultures only a day or two drive from San Diego,” he said. He brought samples of the Mata Ortiz pottery in his collection to the presentation.

Jewish Learning Institute offers course on spiritual side of existence Some questions are universal to the human experience. Is there life after death? What happens to the soul after we die? What is it like for those who have traveled over to the Great Beyond? These are but a few of the questions addressed in the newest course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI). Beginning Oct. 26, JLI will present “The Journey of the Soul,” the institute’s new six-session fall 2015 course. Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the six-course sessions at 7 p.m. -8:30 p.m. Mondays at the Chabad Jewish Center: 5690 Cancha De Golf, Rancho Santa Fe. “There’s a significant amount of confusion in the Jewish community about what happens to us when we die,” said Rabbi Naftali Silberberg, the lead editor for the course from JLI’s headquarters in New York. “Many ideas that originate in other religions and belief systems have been popularized in the media and are taken for granted by unassuming Jews. In ‘Journey of the Soul,’ we clear up these misconceptions and introduce an authentically Jewish approach which is both surprising and refreshing.” “Journey of the Soul” provides spiritual insight into the soul’s journey through life, death, and beyond, as well as ancient Jewish wisdom that sheds light on the philosophical, emotional, and practical aspects of coping with death and mourning. “Science knows very little about the soul and what happens to it post-mortem,” said Rabbi Levi Raskin, the local JLI instructor in Rancho Santa Fe. “It’s about what is truly valuable and meaningful in life, which is relevant to everyone, and many in RSF have expressed their curiosity to learn about the topic, so we’re expecting a good turnout.” The course is being offered in joint sponsorship with the Washington School of Psychiatry, enabling medical and mental health professionals to earn up to 7.5 AMA, APA, CBBS, and ASWB continuing education credits for their participation. Like all previous JLI programs, “Journey of the Soul” is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Register to 858-756-7571 or www.jewishRSF.com.

Fire Department hosting events to ring bell about smoke alarms BY TONY MICHEL, MIKE DAIGLE AND MIKE MURPHY Most people think it will never happen to them, but house fires can be devastating and even deadly. In fact, seven people die every day in residential fires across the United States, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). One of the best ways to protect you and your family against a house fire is to have smoke alarms placed in every bedroom. While that might seem like common sense to most of us, a great many homes today still don’t have them. According to NFPA, half of all U.S. housefire deaths occur when people are sleeping, between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Having smoke alarms in your home cuts in half the chances of someone dying in a house fire. To encourage more people to install these alarms, the NFPA is promoting a new campaign during October: “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Sparky the Fire Dog helped spread the Alarm.” To expand the use of smoke alarms in North word about smoke alarms. Courtesy County, American Medical Response (AMR) and photo its fire prevention partners in Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and Solana Beach are holding a series of family-friendly events. Earlier this month, the Encinitas Fire Department hosted a fire prevention open house, and provided residents with information on smoke alarms and other fire prevention tips. What a great turnout! Sparky the Fire Dog was also there to greet those who stopped by. The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department will also host a fire prevention open house from 9 a.m.-noon Oct. 24. The event will include tours of the fire station, and educational resources will be provided. AMR will give away Halloween Safety Kits and there will also be a costume contest for kids. Last, on Oct. 31, the Solana Beach Fire Department will host its own open house from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The event will include a haunted ambulance, Halloween Safety Kits for kids, as well as fire prevention tips and auto-extrication and fire demonstrations. Please take this opportunity to learn more about the importance of smoke alarms, and meet the firefighters in your neighborhood who work every day of the year to keep you and your family safe.
If you don’t have smoke alarms where you live, please take the initiative and get them installed. If a fire breaks out at your home, they will alert you quickly, and give you and your family those precious seconds you’ll need to escape. Michel is the chief of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. Daigle is the chief of the Encinitas Fire Department. Murphy is the general manager of American Medical Response.

Rancho Santa Fe’s R. Roger Rowe School will hold its annual Red Ribbon Week campaign Oct. 26-30. Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign promoting drug, alcohol, and tobacco abuse prevention and awareness in schools and communities. It is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country and typically takes place the last week of October. The campaign is an opportunity for schools and communities to encourage students to make the commitment to live healthy, drug-free lives. R. Roger Rowe School is proudly participating in this national campaign with week-long student activities and events. This year’s theme is “A Healthy Me Is Drug Free!” Each day, students will participate in various activities and show their commitment by adhering to fun, creative dress codes. On Monday, students will wear crazy socks to “Sock It to Drugs.” Tuesday, students will wear PJ’s to support the pledge “Dream Big — Be Drug Free!” Wednesday is “Wear Red” day, Thursday is “Too Bright to do Drugs” day (kids wear their brightest-colored outfits), and Friday is the Halloween Carnival. Further activities include an essay contest, hanging “hand-print” banners on the courtyard railings showing individual student promises to remain drug- and alcohol-free, and hanging red ribbons on fences. On Wednesday, Oct. 28, Wheels of Freestyle will conduct a BMX stunt show for grades K-5, demonstrating Red Ribbon Week messages: healthy lifestyle, live your dreams, be motivated, respect others and stay in school and do your best. Jamba Juice will be on sale each day in the school courtyard from 2-3:15 p.m. except Friday, when the school will be holding its annual Halloween Carnival. A portion of proceeds from Jamba Juice sales will be donated to The American Cancer Society, a nonprofit chosen by our Student Council. The tradition of Red Ribbon Week began as a way to commemorate the life and death of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who in 1985, died at the hands of drug traffickers in Mexico. Within weeks, a high school friend of Camarena began Camarena Clubs in southern Cal-
ifornia, inspiring hundreds of club members to make a pledge to live drug-free lives. The clubs began to wear red satin ribbons to commemorate Camarena and their pledge to say no to drugs, and the tradition grew to a national campaign now known as Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week founders hope it will not only encourage youth to live healthy, successful and drug-free lives, but will also aid in reducing the demand for drugs and minimize the drug cartels’ brutal and deadly control of the drug market. Encouraging our youth to make the commitment to remain drug-, alcohol-, and tobacco-free is a powerful message. R. Roger Rowe School is proud to participate in this positive and valuable campaign.

CCA’s Girls Who Code group encourages females to pursue careers in ‘STEM’ fields BY KAREN BILLING Seventy-four percent of girls in middle school express an interest in science, technology, engineering and math — but when it comes to choosing a college major, only .4 percent choose to pursue those paths. Canyon Crest Academy sophomore Nithya Krishnamurthy hopes to help re-program those percentages, deciding to start in her corner of the world by founding a Girls Who Code club at CCA last year. “Something is holding them back, and we want to put an end to that to get more girls to choose computer science,� said Nithya, an AP computer science student. Girls Who Code is a national organization that seeks to close the gender gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education and “empower girls to pursue careers in technology and engineering.� The U.S. Department of Labor projects that by 2020, there will be 1.4 million computer specialist job openings, and Girls Who Code aims to reach gender parity with women filling half of these computing jobs. To accomplish that goal, adolescent girls need to have some exposure to computer science education.

In 1950s Hollywood, at the height of the Communist blacklist, when careers were ruined by a whisper, we meet irascible comedy screenwriter Bernie Lutz, played by Johnson. Funny and lovable, Bernie has made his way up the ladder by being a spineless Hollywood sellout. Now, the night before a big red-carpet premiere that will make Bernie’s career, he has been asked to name names and give up his friend. He has one day to decide whether he will accede to government demands and save his skin, or protect his friend and save his soul in the most serious decision of his life. One man’s journey simultaneously though a historical Phil Johnson reality and into the depths of his own soul is at the heart of multi-layered, compelling, and relevant play. Visit http://www.sdcjc.org/pas/index.aspx. Tickets at www.tickets.lfjcc.org or 858-362-1348. Johnson, Freedman, and director David Ellenstein sat down with us recently to answer some questions. You have been in a vast array of productions. What is the primary difference between working with a cast and doing a one-man play? PJ: In a one-man play, I can get a very clear voice for a character that I want to put out there. At this point in my life, I would like to explore people who are on specific emotional journeys and who have something to say to people that they can then take with them into their lives. It’s something I heard from my friend and director David Ellenstein, and it sticks with me. What is the difference between directing a one man play and a play with a larger cast? DE: More Intimate. More one on one. A true duo collaboration where you must lock in with the performer and really understand the skills of the performer. Often the performer is also the creator of the piece, so understanding the impetus of the author is essential. The relationship building is the performer and the audience, and not relationships with other actors. The solo performer must create both sides of any conflict, so guiding that process is also a focus.

You co-authored “Jewish Jokes.” What is the primary benefit of co-authoring? What is most difficult about it? PJ: I learn every single time I write with people — about style, about character, about form. And basically, it’s just really more fun as well. I love the social aspect of writing with someone and coming up with something totally new and fresh, while having a killer good time. Sometimes someone has a particular great strength that’s perfect for a project. Marni studied with someone who was blacklisted in the ’50s, so she had a huge reservoir of information to pull from for this piece. Plus she is so good at story structure. Of course, you can get in trouble too, because people get attached to their favorite things when writing. I was mostly attached to the character and what would happen to him emotionally, so Marni’s brilliance as to plot became a great help — there is so much that happens to him in this play. Every time I write with someone, I look for the great new strengths we are going to have together. We know the setting of “Jewish Jokes” is 1950s Hollywood — the McCarthy era. Why go back to that era? What is the relevance to today? PJ: At first I was looking for a setting for this character, a crusty, irascible funny Jewish man whose pragmatic sense of humor got him through everything in life, enriched everyone around him. I wanted it to be in the middle of the century, post-World War II. This was the time when Jewish comedy was king. Even though people may not have known it at that time, or even today, Jewish comedy then made up most musicals, comedy plays, standup comedy, most great forms of entertainment. The character of Bernie then needed something enormous to make him realize that that sense of humor was bigger than just his jokes. For me, the blacklist was that conflict; this moment in time when writers were censored and lives were destroyed. Censorship of artistic expression has always been the greatest taboo to me. The hysteria after the war, the forced conformity and fear of the stranger, along with the Blacklist’s visual presence on the new medium of television, combined to make the situation a national nervous breakdown. And people like this small, funny, creative guy were swept up in it, and sometimes had to make a stand that they may not have been ready to make. We see this now in our day — not being able to hold certain opinions about religion and politics, the total fracturing of any normal public discussion anymore, intolerance. The rise of anti-Semitism again — Jews in France are currently leaving in large numbers over resentment of the unresolved Palestinian/ Israeli conflict — makes this discussion a timeless one. What drew you to directing this particular play? DE: Phil Johnson first. He is a very talented and funny man and a friend. He asked me See JOKES, page 18

TPHS to honor Coach Thorne at pregame ceremony Oct. 16 Brent Thorne has been the Torrey Pines Cross Country coach for an astonishing 29 years. He has won numerous titles and awards, and has made an impact on all his athletes and students of the sport. For these reasons and many more, Torrey Pines High School will be honoring his dedication to the school at the Friday, Oct. 16, home football game during the pre-game ceremony. Last week, Michelle Buhai, Torrey Pines High School ASB Commissioner of Publicity, sat down with Coach Thorne to talk about his time at Torrey Pines and his history as a runner. Many people would be interested to know that he actually did not run competitively in high school or college! His career was inspired by long-distance runners in the 1972 Olympic Games including Bill Rodgers and Steve Prefontaine. From that point on, running took a special place in his heart. With six months of preparing and a strong-willed mind, he completed a marathon in a mere 2 hours and 42 minutes. This and his love for working with youth prompted him to pursue a career in coaching. Some of his best memories at Torrey Pines include winning a California State Title with the girls’ team in 2009, and additionally starting a chain of CIF titles in 2005 with a group of girls who he said were all evidently passionate about the sport and the school. His love for running and coaching and his drive to make the team better each year has motivated him to stay with the program for almost three decades. One of the most rewarding parts of the job to Coach Thorne is catching up with alumni and hearing that they are still active runners and keeping the good health habits that he taught them. Coach Thorne would like to give thanks to all of his athletes, and honor them for all their hard work and dedication over the past 29 years. The school hopes to see many members of the public at Friday’s ceremony to honor this man and all he has done for the Torrey Pines community.

to direct him. The subject matter secondly. I have been involved in several projects over the years that touched on the blacklist is one way or another. Exploring the fear and paranoia of our society and how it causes outrageous behavior to flourish is always an important undertaking. Thirdly, I knew we would have a great time working on it and saw the potential for a rewarding evening of theatre. How does your job as an actor differ from your job as a writer? And at what point do they intersect? PJ: The reason I act, and write, and soon direct, is to understand backwards and forwards all the interesting sides of human behavior. What’s the best structure to tell a story? The best way to express a character as fully as I can? Writing informs acting, informs directing for me. I feel so much surer of myself going in as an actor when I have looked at all the different ways you look at a story. Stories are the way that we learn how to get through difficult situations. We learn to how to get through life from stories. That’s what stories and movies and plays give society. What is the most fulfilling part of being an actor? PJ: Sometimes you do a play that is so wonderfully funny and connects with an audience so much that they are limp at the end of the show. That is a joy for me, when they let everything else go, and let themselves enjoy watching ridiculous behavior and stories. Now that I do things that are more about storytelling and character, I think I love most letting myself get lost in that character. I love getting at really big emotional ideas that are true for everybody and understanding them backwards and forwards. What do you hope people take away from the play? PJ: Humor, especially Jewish humor, has always been a big part of my life. For me, humor may have started as a defense mechanism, as I believe it often does for a lot of comedians, but it’s become a certain kind of pragmatism that has hopefully made me strong and able to deal with things in what I consider the best possible way. I think this play is very much about the strength and power a pragmatic sense of humor brings to life. That’s Bernie’s strength, even though he doesn’t realize it at the beginning. MF: How America was founded on freedom of speech, yet there was a time when this led to prison — are we always as free as we think we are? How a man can be tested, and think himself that he will fail, only to find out he may be made up of stronger stuff than even he knew.

RSF traffic ballot — to ‘do nothing’
In 1984, we moved to our new home on Via de Maya. Since then, we have accessed the Montevideo/Plateada intersection over 11,000 times (365 days x 31 years) without incident. Nary a scratch. Five days a week, thousands of autos, etc., move in a calm, quiet, orderly fashion, taking turns on the four involved streets. Residents tucked away in the upper reaches of Rancho Santa Fe do not daily experience the passing parade of North County buses, horse trailers, moving vans, garden trucks, fire trucks, delivery vans and motorcycle clubs in addition to truck traffic off Montevideo headed to Del Dios. Those folks are unaware and unaffected, yet they are promoting changes mostly affecting our area residents. Yes, the car count has greatly increased, and of course, we do not like it! However, we have adjusted and wait our turns as the 18-wheel flatbed truck (dragging a cart) moves through after stopping. So now we have received an unfortunate and thoughtless ballot giving us two choices — roundabouts or traffic lights. A third option should have been included: “Do Nothing!” We insist on a recall of this insult! Louise D. Kasch Rancho Santa Fe

Not even a farewell party for Stump’s Market The community is well aware Mr. and Mrs. Stumps had no alternative but to accept Mrs. Woolley’s offer to surrender their lease in order to “move on.” I, along with many other volunteers, patiently sat outside the Post Office several months ago obtaining signatures for a petition to persuade the RSF Association board to hold an agenda meeting to discuss a replacement village market. I wanted to thank all of you at that meeting for signing, as this brought about the very meeting we were attending. However, I was not extended this courtesy. Should this letter be printed, please may I now thank all of you! When many residents expressed deep concern learning that there was to be no new store, the board assured us we would be kept informed of any discussions relating to a replacement for our community. Have any of us been advised who will be the next tenant in the grocery line of business? No, I think not. By the way, one would have thought it would have been a nice idea for the board to hold a farewell party for all those who have lovingly cared and served us for the last 21 years. The doors close on the 31st of October 2015, and I think it is shameful that nothing has been discussed or organized to bring this about. Instead, the president, Ann Boon, along with the board have been working diligently towards railroading a swimming pool, child care facility (baby sitters), exercise classes, etc. It is also noted that only fee-paying members of the golf club and tennis club may, at this stage, vote for or against the project. I don’t know about other Covenant home owners, but I, for one, was most enthusiastic to find a home in the Covenant so that my husband and I would qualify to join the club. We knew this would also add tremendously to the value of our property when it came time to sell. We are no longer able to play golf, but are able to have a few rounds per year, if we so wish, and may dine at the Club. Surely we should have an opportunity to take part in the survey/voting at this stage and not have to wait until the entire extravagant budget has been used up. In addition, they have already added another $15,000 towards their budget. As Covenant taxpayers, it should be our right to be consulted at every stage of this debacle and not be told we have to wait until the end of this fiasco. How about digging into the Covenant Bank account and having a party that we residents would, in all probability, vote upon with a resounding “Yes”? Hopefully it is still not too late! P.S. In addition, let’s spend some of our Covenant tax dollars to look after our Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club Covenant “investment” by bringing in much-needed recycled water instead of that pool!

Poll of the Week at www.rsfreview.com Last week’s poll: Do all of your credit cards now contain the embedded security chip? YES: 50 percent NO: 50 percent This week’s poll: Are you in favor of the state’s new right-to-die law? Yes or No?
Something you should know about roundabouts For all residents who drive on Las Colinas, be aware! If roundabouts are approved by our community, traffic will flow continuously without any break. So if you proceed west on Las Colinas toward Via de la Valle, you will have great difficulty getting onto that roadway. You won’t be able to safely enter the traffic flow because many other vehicles will be heading west at the same time. The frequency can be up to one vehicle every two seconds during peak hour traffic periods. That peak traffic period occurs at 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. heading west and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. heading east. The same concerns apply to anyone using La Plateada and La Fremontia, particularly in the morning and evening hours. Don’t believe that courteous drivers will let you into the traffic flow. The only solution ... is a traffic signal which will have a break in traffic with a signal change. This will allow you to safely enter the traffic flow. Sam Ursini
RSF board should ‘do what’s right’ Past presidents of The Rancho Santa Fe Association are recognized on a special plaque at the Association office because of their boards’ contributions and tireless efforts to interpret, protect, and maintain our governing documents, which have served us well over decades of local and county change, natural disasters, world wars, failing economies, and frivolous trends. No past president of the Association will tell you that serving was an easy job or for the faint of heart. The job is frustrating at times, extremely time-consuming and disappointing when specific goals are not met. Goals, however, cannot trump the members’ will, nor should they. With the serious issues facing us over the next few months, I urge our board to do what’s right — to be more transparent by opening all committee meetings to members and the press, to select committee members in a fair manner by allowing members-at-large to volunteer for consideration (as has been our normal procedure), to follow the guidelines and rules of the covenant not only in the letter of the law but its intent, and to not just listen but to “hear”all members. When the question of whether the association should spend $350,000-plus on a pool and fitness center study passes by only a few members out of 1,400, then perhaps the project is not a viable goal and should be recognized as such before vigorously proceeding forward. Before the Board sends a letter to the county supporting traffic lights, it should take a community vote. (Under pressure from community, the board agreed to take a “survey.”) We certainly hope that when the results of that survey come out, the board will submit a new letter to the county reflective of the community’s wishes one way or another. Goals can be met through good leadership in the spirit of cooperation, fairness and openness. We couldn’t have come this far as a community, with so many goals met for so many years, if that were not the case. Marie Addario, Past President RSF Association Board
Clarification A story Oct. 8 about the Covenant Club design in Rancho Santa Fe had incomplete information. Two of the seven design alternatives do propose integrating the club onto the tennis campus, but the affected tennis courts would be replaced, so the tennis club would maintain a total of 12 courts.

Letters to the editor/Opinion
‘You can never make everyone happy’ “You can never make everyone happy.” Those were the words of Association Board Member Heather Slosar at a recent Membership/Marketing committee meeting. They succinctly express the attitude of those who are promoting the proposed Covenant Club. The first survey of Covenant Homeowners, the one that launched the Covenant Club project, asked a simple question: What is your current attitude toward moving ahead with the aquatic and fitness facility? Overall, of 549 respondents, 46 percent were negative, 40 percent were positive, and 12 percent were neutral. Hardly an overwhelming endorsement at that point. As a businessman who used surveys extensively to assist me in my decision-making over a long career, I would have viewed those results as a show-stopper. If more of my customers are against a concept right away, even before knowing the cost, I would have simply moved on to another idea. Another survey of tennis club members, taken more recently, showed that, with more information available, they are now
decidedly more negative than in the first survey. After almost two years of concept development, with the knowledge now available about where the facility will actually be and knowing how much it will probably cost, 70 percent to 80 percent of the RSF Tennis Club respondents are against the concept. The hot-off-the-press RSF Golf Club survey results tell the same story. Their survey was simpler, just two questions: for or against the Covenant Club on campus, and which of two locations do you favor? Seventy-five percent of the golf club members were against having it on the campus at all. Ms. Slosar has said that the Covenant Club proposal would proceed, no matter what the survey results say, and that they would build it with only a 50.1 percent eventual community vote in favor. If that actually happened, it would put an exclamation point on her words, “You can never make everyone happy.” But I am reminded of another saying: “You can fool some of the people ...” Bill Johnson

dures, problem solving, communicating and reasoning. Elementary school Principal Kim Pinkerton said she was proud that the students were above standard in communicating about math, as there were lots of questions about why students had to write about math during the initial Common Core roll-out. “That’s something that we’ve worked on, and it shows,” Pinkerton said. The tests differ from the former STAR tests in that they are computer-adaptive rather than fixed form paper and pencil. The test adapts, based on the answers that students give. While the recommended testing time for STAR tests was about five to six and a half hours, the SBAC test exceeded eight hours and in some cases took up to 10 hours for students to complete. “The big difference for us is the required time area,” said middle school Principal Garrett Corduan. “We didn’t expect that we would have students going longer than seven or eight hours. That’s an area that we’re working on.” Corduan expects that as students become more familiar with the tests, the testing window will shrink. Pinkerton said the longer testing period can also be attributed to how hard the students were working — she said she saw real fortitude in the elementary school students. “They really wanted to do the best that they possibly could,” Pinkerton said, noting they reworked and agonized over answers and were truly pushing themselves to perform. Looking at the results by grade level, the third-graders performed the strongest, with 79 percent meeting or exceeding the standards in ELA and 92 percent meeting or exceeding the standards in math. Ninety percent of fifth-graders also 90 met or exceeded ELA standards. The district’s “low” point was in the seventh grade, where 74 percent met or ex-

Everlasting memories of loved ones
Joan Ryan
April 24, 1956 - September 25, 2015 RANCHO SANTA FE — Joan Ryan, 59, passed away on September 25, 2015, after a long battle with breast cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family at her home in Rancho Santa Fe. Joan married John Ryan on Sept. 3, 1983, and together they raised their two children, Peter and Kelly. Joan was recognized as a driven, respected and empathetic business leader, holding the CFO position at Hewlett Packard Printing Division, Tellabs, Alliant Food Service, and Sirva. With her bright, endearing smile and infectious laughter, “Joanie” had a gift for making those around her feel special. She enjoyed cooking, shopping, traveling and entertaining, generously welcoming others into her home with limitless hospitality. She often appeared more concerned with the needs of others rather than her own, and her courage
during her remaining days was inspirational to both friends and family. A Celebration of Life will be held Thursday, October 22, 2015, from 5-8 p.m., at the Del Mar Community Center, 1658 Coast Blvd, Del Mar. All are welcome. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the American Breast Cancer Foundation: https://www. abcf.org/donate. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/ranchosantafer eview.

ceeded ELA standards. Corduan said while the middle school results don’t look as strong as the elementary results, RSF did well compared with neighboring middle schools. “The students will be coming in this year even more ready,” Delaney said. “This test was the hardest on the oldest students, because they have been ingrained in the other way of testing and they had to learn new strategies. I was not surprised that the middle school scores were not as high as elementary, but I think we will rectify that in time.” The district’s benchmark goal is always a 90 percent achievement level. “The goal is that all students should grow,” Pinkerton said. Corduan said they have already made adjustments to shore up instruction in the classroom and are able to target students who didn’t perform as well and make adjustments individual to them, to provide them with what they need. Pinkerton said they pay attention to other assessment data points as well, but the tests are aligned so they can measure progress year to year. Trustee Todd Buchner said it was exciting that teachers would be able to collect that kind of data and complimented the staff on their accountability — finding a problem area and bringing it back to the classroom and curriculum to fix. “We should celebrate the work you’re doing and how ahead of the curve you are,” Buchner said to the principals.

TOUR main academic building. The new weight room is a big upgrade from the old “bare bones” portable it used to be housed in, and is used by students in weight training class, PE and by sports participants. Though the tour checked out the room, it wasn’t one funded by Prop AA, but instead by generous donations from the Torrey Pines Foundation. Torrey Pines’ new “J” building toward the back of campus replaced the site of the old weight room. It features four new chemistry classrooms and a large prep area, giving teachers room to collaborate and to store materials and equipment. “This is what the next generation of science classrooms are going to look like in the district,” Schmitt said. While the typical classroom is 900 square feet, the labs are 1,400 square feet. “It’s really roomy, so the kids never feel like they’re cramped,” said chemistry teacher Charlenne Falcis-Stevens. The lab tables can be moved and reconfigured and the stools are comfortable; some even have backs. There are nine sinks around the back of the classroom and more electrical outlets. “The No. 1 thing kids asked for in their classrooms was charging stations,” Schmitt said, noting there are now 40-plus power outlets in a classroom, compared with two or three in the 1974 design of the school. The classroom’s windows allow the school to take advantage of natural light, with the light fixtures adjusting to how much light is coming in from the outside. The main academic building, known as building B, has 80 classrooms. Fifty were renovated over the summer. “Air conditioning is an incredible bonus of the new classrooms,” said Assistant Principal Garry Thornton. Carpet was taken out in parts of the building, and soon the halls, lighted by solar tubes and motion-sensor activated lighting, will have polished new floors. While the rest of the classrooms are being renovated, students attend class in a cluster of portables.
continued from page 1
Around the new buildings, the district also updated the landscaping to be more drought-tolerant. At Earl Warren, the 60-year-old campus is set to be demolished. Demolition started last week and an official groundbreaking ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16. “Our oldest middle school will soon become our newest middle school,” said Assistant Superintendent Eric Dill. Guests toured Seahawk Village, where students will attend school until the new campus is complete in fall 2017. “The Village is really a positive place for the kids,” said Principal Adam Camacho. “The academic delivery is not sacrificed by the interim buildings.” Camacho said the portable classroom village is perhaps even a step up from the old campus, with improved technology like wi-fi and the big bonus of air conditioning in all of the classrooms. The village is home to 600 students and includes a multipurpose room, science classrooms and a main quad with covered lunch tables. The campus is also secured by fences, while the old campus was much more open. “I’m really proud of the transition down here; the staff was ready to go on day one,” Camacho said. “It’s a safer, more cozy campus that the kids are really loving.” As Dill explained, the new campus will be anchored off the joint-use Solana Beach Library, with which the district has enjoyed a great partnership. Lionakis, the architects who designed the new Pacific Trails Middle School, have designed the new Earl Warren. Instead of a five-level campus, the new Earl will be two levels with the upper level featuring the bulk of the classrooms. Guests were wowed by the renderings of the new school, featuring beachy details like surfboards on a sleek, modern new campus. All information about Prop AA is available on the district’s website at sduhsd.net.

Pets unite two lonely people in ‘Chapatti’ at North Coast Rep
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER Does romance wane as we age? Does true love come but once in a lifetime? Irish playwright Christian O’Reilly must have pondered these questions when creating the comedy “Chapatti,” which has its West Coast premiere Oct. 21-Nov. 15 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. Judith Ivey directs the production that tells the tale of two senior citizens who are alone until they meet each other and discover they have some of the same interests. Ivey, a two-time Tony Award winner for “Steaming” and “Hurlyburly,” said she was excited to get a call from NCRT’s artistic director David Edelstein about directing “Chapatti.” “I grow fonder of this play every day we work on it,” Ivey said. “It’s a beautiful piece of writing, and tells a wonderful story — one that if I was not directing, I would want to see.” Ivey said she found the perfect actors to portray this intimate story. “Because it’s an Irish play, and I’m a stickler for
all those guards down, along with all those habits and the things that come with having lived by yourself for a long time.” Will Dan overcome his depression? Will Betty be willing to change Dan’s life and her own? Discover the answers and see how their animal pals influence this couple in “Chapatti.” “Chapatti” runs Oct. 21-Nov. 15 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $39; call 858-481-1055; visit northcoastrep.org.
RSF Viewpoints show Oct. 25 to feature Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein Judith Ivey directs ‘Chapatti,’ by Irish playwright Christian O’Reilly. Courtesy photo dialect, when I started casting I was fortunate to find two people who had beautiful Irish dialects,” Ivey said. “Also, I knew the characters needed certain qualities. It was the vulnerability … someone stalwart … even feeling cut off from the universe … that I was looking for, because that’s what the story is about.” As it unfolds, Dan (Mark Bramhall) is much more sensitive than he appears. He has lost the wife he dearly loved and adopts a dog he names Chapatti, and then decides to go to London. Now settled in with his dog, Dan visits the local veterinarian to find a dog-sitter. While there, he meets Betty (Anabella Price), who is looking to have some of her 19 cats adopted. “An event brings them together again as the story about protecting ourselves from being lonely turns into a surprise that has Betty and Dan feeling an attraction for each other,” Ivey said. “But it’s not necessarily easy to put
Following successful showings in the past two seasons, Village Viewpoints will offer a reprise of “Thinking Shakespeare Live!” on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. at Village Church, 6225 Paseo Delicias. “Thinking Shakespeare Live!” is a fast-paced, funny, and fascinating guide to the language of Shakespeare created by Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein who National Public Radio called “one of the country’s leading Shakespeareans.” This special program provides audiences a unique opportunity to learn the methods Edelstein imparts to professional actors in the rehearsal room. As he and three skilled actors demonstrate these techniques live on stage, this entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the creative process offers a primer on the tools used to hear and understand Shakespeare. With humor and insight, “Thinking Shakespeare Live!” brings audiences into the Bard’s world and shows how his masterful poetry can come to life for everyone. “San Diego’s Shakespeare audience is devoted to the Bard, and the Globe, one of the country’s great Shakespeare theatres, always looks for innovative ways to serve it,” said Edelstein. “We created ‘Thinking Shakespeare Live!’ to help our audience have fun while making new connections to Barry Shakespeare.” Viewpoints is co-presented by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and the Edelstein Village Church. Doors open at 6 p.m. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served with the program beginning at 6:30. Seating is limited; advance purchase is recommended. Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets may be purchased at www.villageviewpoints.com or by calling (858) 756-6557. Tickets at the door the night of the event will be $30.

Former local artist-turned-author releases debut novel BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having worked as a jewelry maker, sculptor, painter, graphic designer and photographer, former local resident Kerry Daggett has always been creative. “I’m on the go every minute of the day,” she said with a laugh. Originally from New York, Daggett studied fashion design at Utah State University. After college, she took a jewelry class and started her career in jewelry design. Daggett later transitioned from jewelry making to sculpting. “I just kept getting bigger,” she said. “I went from metal to clay, and then I started sculpting bigger pieces with stained glass.” Also a painter, Daggett specializes in landscapes. Today, she spends most of her time as a graphic designer and photographer. “They all kind of blend into each other,” she said. An artist-turned-author, Daggett recently released her first novel, “The Exhausted Goddess.” The book, which features photographs by Daggett, follows Frankie Callahan, a wife and mother, whose life is unravelling. At the end of her rope, Frankie’s marriage and relationship with her daughter are both in disarray. Her best friend has also died. But things change when Frankie finds goddesses all around her. “‘The Exhausted Goddess’ became a joke while I was taking pictures, but then I
realized it wasn’t a joke,” Daggett explained. “We are. By the time you hit 40, you’re exhausted. My characters became the emotions that we all go through. “It’s an imaginative, relatable tale of a contemporary woman’s struggle with her exhaustion, addiction and despair.” Also a mother who has had her fair share of struggles, Daggett’s fictional story is somewhat reflective of real-life events and people. Daggett’s daughter is sick and is still coping with an auto-immune disease. She is pictured on the book cover. “I learned what exhaustion was,” said Daggett, who lived in Carmel Valley for a decade before returning to New York to care for her daughter. She wrote the first three versions of her book at the Starbucks in Del Mar Highlands and downtown Del Mar. “I wrote in the hospital. I wrote in the ER. If I wasn’t at Starbucks, I was in the hospital.” The book took Daggett seven years to write. “All of it came from what evolved along the way,” she said. “It wasn’t just a quick afternoon thing; it’s what would be my advice to somebody else. It was a labor of love.” The book is available on Amazon and on Daggett’s website. A free downloadable PDF of the book will be available Oct. 15-30 at www.theexhaustedgoddess.com.

‘What If?’ is starting point Oct. 25 for SB’s Written Word Challenge BY DIANE Y. WELCH The city of Solana Beach will present a Written Word Challenge from 1-3 p.m. Oct. 25 at the La Colonia Community Center in Solana Beach, when live readings of juried entries will be presented to the public. Hosted by the city’s Public Arts Commission (PAC), the challenge sent a request for submissions to county-wide writing groups that include the San Diego Press Club, Writer’s Ink, Publishers and Writers of San Diego and more. Responses to the word prompt, “What If?” have already started coming in, and the skill level of submissions is very high, said Sharon Rosen Leib, one of a panel of judges made up of professional writers and PAC commissioners. Leib, a Solana Beach resident and a columnist and contributor to the San Diego Jewish Journal, said that the open Sharon Rosen Leib prompt will encourage a wide array of approaches and styles and is intended to give free rein to the literary muse in everyone. The guidelines for entries include stories, poems or flash (ultra-short) fiction that must be original and unpublished at the time of entry. The length of the piece must not exceed a five minute oral presentation. Submissions will be judged on creative approach to the prompt, technical skill and entertainment value and all work must be family-friendly. “We will be particularly looking for originality in the pieces,” said Leib who is a recent winner of a San Diego Press Award. Cash prizes are being offered of $200 in each of the following categories: best story, best poem, funniest story or poem, people’s choice and judges choice. The deadline for entries is Friday, Oct. 16. Participants do not have to be professional writers, and students are encouraged to submit. “I think that it is fantastic that Solana Beach is supporting the literary community and opening this event to those beyond the limits of Solana Beach,” Leib commented. “And the cash awards are substantial. This is an opportunity for anyone who has something creative to say about ‘What If?’ to express themselves freely in what will be a fun event.” Interested writers must fill out an application and submit their story or poem to Anita Edman at Solana Beach City Hall by Oct. 16. Email submissions via attached pdf files are also acceptable and must be sent by midnight of the deadline date. Those short-listed will be contacted via email by Edman and winners will be announced at the event, which is free to attend. Everyone is welcome. For an application, to submit work or ask questions, contact Anita Edman at 858-7202454 or email to aedman@cosb.org.

Shabbat San Diego events set for Oct. 22-24 throughout county BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Jewish people may be scattered around the world, but for one weekend every year, they come together to celebrate Shabbat. Coordinated by The Shabbos Project, millions of Jews in more than 500 cities in 65 countries are expected to commemorate Shabbat, Judaism’s day of rest and seventh day of the week, during the weekend of Oct. 23-24. “It’s a beautiful moment to get together and unplug,� said Rebbetzin Dini Polichenco, whose husband, Mendel Polichenco, serves as rabbi of Chabad of Carmel Valley. “Our lives are attached. Like an IV (intravenous therapy), we can’t survive without being plugged in. This is a moment to go back to our roots.� The Shabbos Project, an effort to get the world’s Jews to celebrate one Shabbat together, was introduced in South Africa in 2013, went worldwide in 2014 and begins this year at sundown on Friday, Oct. 23. Locally, San Diego Jews are participating in the occasion through Shabbat San Diego activities, which are set to take place throughout the county on the same weekend. More than 25,000 people are expected to participate in Shabbat San Diego, billed as the biggest event in San Diego Jewish community’s history. “When people get together, the strength of unity is incredible,� Polichenco
said. “We can do so much.� In the weeks before Shabbat San Diego, a variety of Shabbat-related activities will be held, including cooking classes, Shabbat services, song sessions and more. The weekend will kick off on Oct. 22 with “Mega Challah Bake,� where participants will learn to mix the ingredients of challah bread, braid dough and make their own bread to take home and bake. Two events are slated for 6:30 p.m. at San Diego Jewish Academy in Carmel Valley and Tifereth Israel Synagogue in San Diego. Registration is open at www.shabbatsandiego.org. Space is limited. For the second year, local resident Stacey Katz is co-chairing the Challah bake at San Diego Jewish Academy. “It’s really fun,� said Katz, who has lived in the community for 15 years. “Last year was a super success. We had about 1,200 people in the first year, and this year, we’re hoping for 2,000 people. “It’s a very special weekend,� she added. “It’s amazing seeing Jews all over showing unity as Jews.� A number of hosted Shabbat dinners will be held after Friday services at participating congregations, community organizations and private homes. Celebrated with friends and family, Shabbat is ushered in by lighting candles and reciting a blessing. For people who prefer to participate in Shabbat dinners within the privacy of their
home, Shabbat San Diego materials are available upon request and registration to help facilitate the Friday dinner. Special services for Shabbat will be held at participating congregations Saturday morning, Oct. 24. There will also be study opportunities, guest lectures and organized events throughout the afternoon. In addition, many locations will provide a Seudah Shlishit, the third meal customarily eaten by Sabbath-observing Jews on Shabbat. Meals will take place around 5 p.m. Finally, to celebrate the conclusion of the global Shabbat and begin the new week, a large ceremony called Havdalah will take begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Town and County Resort & Convention Center in Mission Valley. “We welcome everybody,� Polichenco said. “All you need is a heartbeat. Every person is welcome in our community.� For more about Shabbat San Diego Selwyn Isakow and Robyn Lichter, co-chairs and to register for events, visit shabbatof Shabbat San Diego.

De Anza DAR hears letters written home from Civil War “The Rebs is on the other side of the Rappaden River and our men on this side. Our line of Battel Reached from there (Fredericksburg) to here some 30 miles. We are waiting for a Battel if the Rebs don’t fall Back.” — James Conley, 78th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment, 1863. The De Anza Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution heard Kathleen Loftman, District XIV Registrar, speak about the 23 letters written by her third great-grandfather during the Civil War to his family in Pennsylvania on Oct. 3 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in Solana Beach. Loftman had been researching her family for several years when a stranger contacted her about the letters and more than 100 photographs passed down through three generations. Deciphering handwriting from 150 years ago proved difficult not only because of fading, but words were spelled phonetically and letter formation differed from Regent Marti Meiners with speaker modern cursive writing. For this challenge, Loftman used a Rosetta Kathleen Loftman. Courtesy photo Stone program. The letters described the grim reality and hardships of her Civil War soldier. “Many letters contained the phrase ‘all is well,’” Loftman said, indicating Conley and his two enlisted sons had survived the last battle. But the tone grew bleaker as the years wore on, and one son was killed in battle at Cold Harbor. Julie Sanderson, De Anza’s DAR Project Patriot chair, issued a call for items to fill care packages to military women in Afghanistan. “They need everything from pedicure products to pipe cleaners to clean their weapons.” Creative De Anza member Jere Flores, in faux werewolf fur, fashioned a centerpiece auctioned off to benefit DAR supported schools. The winner was former De Anza Regent Bettybob Williams. New member Gretchen Kelly was installed by Registrar Kathleen Loftman and Chaplin Martha Gresham. Kelly descends from Pvt. Jonathan Lovell who served in Massachusetts militias from 1775-1779. De Anza Chapter has more than 100 members from Cardiff, Carlsbad, Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and other nearby areas.

Doobie Brothers perform at local benefit for ‘Children of the Californias’ For more than 20 years, the Foundation for the Children of the Californias has helped keep kids healthy on both sides of the border. To continue to provide critical support, the foundation held its annual Concert for the Kids featuring the Doobie Brothers Oct. 2 at The Santaluz Club. The foundation raised funds at the event for an electronic monitoring system for the Hospital Infantil de las Californias, a 48,000-square-foot pediatric complex that offers outpatient services in 22 specialties. With the facility a half-mile into Baja California, the monitoring system will not only track equipment and medicine, but patient medical records. In an effort to improve the health and nutrition of children, the Foundation for the Children of the Californias was founded in 1994. In this tri-national collaboration with the United States, Mexico and Canada, pediatric professionals joined forces with academic, business and civic leaders from the three countries to open and operate the pediatric medical center in northwestern Mexico. The medical center serves about 3,500 children per month, with a third of the children from San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties. Approximately 70 percent of the center’s medical personnel and staff donate their services. Volunteers have served 380,000 hours, providing 440,000 consultations and conducting 12,000 surgeries since the foundation was established. For more information, visit www.usfcc.org.

the ROMP, sparking another event highlight. This year’s ROMP gala was co-chaired by artistic visionaries Steve and Rex Romande of Rancho Santa Fe, and included the theme “A Moment in Buenos Aires.” The Estancia La Jolla was transformed into an Argentinian dream for the event, which was attended by more than 300 guests. Steve and Rex Romande’s history with the Ronald McDonald House dates back to when they welcomed their daughter Kingsley, now 5 years old, into their lives and had to rely on the House for its services. “The Ronald McDonald House was there for us when we needed help, allowing us peace of mind,” said Steve Romande. Shortly after their personal experience with the Ronald McDonald House, close friend Mary Drake founded the first ever ROMP gala. Steve and Rex have been involved with the
charity ever since. “We’re thrilled to bring our family, friends and community together to raise essential support for this charity that once gave us so much,” said Rex Romande. “For us, the Ronald McDonald House really is all about family.” “We are forever grateful for the efforts of Steve, Rex, the Hoehns and everyone else who made this year’s fundraiser a tremendous success,” said Chuck Day, president and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. “This annual event continues to grow, offering new opportunities for us to meet the needs of 14,000 family members who rely on us each year, including daytime guests and overnight guests staying for weeks at a time as they face long-term medical challenges.” To learn more, visit www.rmhcsd.org.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090
The Loss of Work in the Aftermath Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect every facet of life, from memory to physical ability to performing every day functions like speaking and eating. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that TBIs are one of the most catastrophic forms of injury. And when it comes to recovery, restoring full brain function is often rare. In this sense, returning to work after a traumatic brain injury is generally difficult, if not impossible. In a recent report, we learn of one woman’s struggle with traumatic brain injury after she fell backward in a snow storm, landing head
first onto icy pavement. “My feet went out from under me and my head just hit the pavement,” said Carey Gelfand, a Glencoe, Ill. resident who said she was on a business trip in New York when the accident occurred. Although she brushed off the accident at first, a cognitive fog soon developed. Once she returned home, she began forgetting crucial details and lost the ability to focus at work. Exhaustion overtook her body and she was often plagued with debilitating headaches. “My boss [wanted] to take jobs away from me. I was very diminished in my position. I was just so frustrated and I had such poor sense of self,” said Gelfand. Although most TBIs occur as a result of car accidents, some may occur in the most unfortunate and yet ordinary ways such as a trip or fall. Seeking medical attention as soon as a TBI is suspected is essential when it comes to recovery and possible prevention of further injury. “It is important after a brain injury see a
neurologist who can administer the proper tests,” the article noted. “Not doing so means it could be weeks or years before the injury is diagnosed.” Gelfland said her job suffered considerably in wake of her TBI. Though she did not lose her job, she struggled to keep up with demands. Fortunately, she is able to talk about her experience, striving to create awareness for this surprisingly prevalent injury (TBIs affect at least 1.5 million Americans each year). Although Gelfland has maintained her work, most people are not as fortunate. One small study found that low income and unemployment were quite common in the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, leading many into difficult financial positions. There is one bright aspect: psychologists, doctors and other healthcare practitioners are working together to increase head injury awareness. “I think we are in... one of those ‘ah ha!’ [moments]. We know better now,” said
Chicago-based psychologist Morgan Wolin. “But, if we know better, will we do better? Will human resources say, ‘Okay concussions are a real thing, let’s take it more seriously?’” As for employee accommodation, most human resource (HR) departments are willing to accommodate individuals with TBIs. For the most seamless transition, employees affected by traumatic brain injury are urged to work with their employers and HR departments to find a reasonable solution. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, individuals with a TBI may need special accommodations such as: SCHEDULE CONSIDERATIONS. You should work with your employer to accommodate shorter work days and/or an increase in breaks. Resting is the key when it comes to recovery.

Swing & Soiree attendees dream big and help non-profit raise $1 million for charity At the sold-out Lucky Duck Foundation Swing & Soiree event on Sept. 28 Co-Founder Pat Kilkenny announced that if the event raised $350,000 he would not only match the donation, as he has done in years past, he would make up the difference between funds raised and $1 million. The event’s auctions, raffles and paddle raises collected over $450,000 and now the Lucky Duck Foundation’s beneficiaries will be receiving their largest sums from the organization to date. One-hundred and thirty-six golfers attended the shot gun shamble golf tournament at the Santaluz Club and nearly 300 people attended the evening party in a tent decorated by Haute Fetes Weddings & Events. The theme of the night was “Dream Big” and attendees did just that opening their hearts and wallets. ESPN Sportscaster Neil Everett emceed this year’s evening program and NBA great Bill Walton gave a touching tribute to Fanconi Anemia Research Fund founder Dave Pat Kilkenny, Lauren Totman, Bill Walton Frohnmayer and Fanconi Anemia Research Fund supporter Mark Sciarretta. Both passed away this year from cancer. The Swing & Soiree is an annual golf and fundraising event at the Santaluz Club put on by the non-profit Lucky Duck Foundation. Pat and Stephanie Kilkenny started the organization in 2005 to raise funds and awareness for charitable causes. The $1 million raised will be divided between the Lucky Duck Foundation’s four beneficiaries, the Helen Woodward Animal Center, the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, Father Joe’s Villages and the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Check presentations will happen this fall. The proceeds raised at the 2015 Swing & Soiree brings the total amount of money raised by the Lucky Duck Foundation since its founding to just under $6,000,000. Photos by Scott Martin.
