Ballots to be mailed RSF Rotary Club’s Fall Festival Family Oct. 20 on planning BBQ kicks off Rancho Days phase for RSF pool and health club facility RSF residents Fred and Genta Luddy to fund 10 percent of project if approved BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved the language for the pool and health club vote, which will ask residents whether they would OK a $350,000 due diligence and planning effort for the proposed facility. Ballots will be mailed on Oct. 20 and will be due back Nov. 19. Before the ballots are mailed, there will be a community-wide meeting on the topic at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17, at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. At the Oct. 2 board meeting, RSF Association Director Heather Slosar announced that should Rancho Santa Fe residents approve the final plans for the pool and health club in a subsequent vote, residents Fred and Genta Luddy have agreed to fund 10 percent of the overall project costs. Slosar said Fred Luddy recalled the community pool in the suburban town where he grew up and how much fun it was to go there with his friends. “The Luddys see it as more than just a place to swim and exercise, but a place to connect with friends and neighbors,” Slosar said. “He said we have so much in the Covenant, but we are lacking a place for the community to come together, both old and young. The Luddy family supports the vision for a health club and See BALLOTS page 26

Olivenhain Municipal Water District and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) announced Oct. 6 that they have reached an agreement to stage a firefighting helicopter on a currently unused pad adjacent to OMWD’s David C. McCollom Water Treatment Plant on days of elevated fire risk through the 2014 fire season, improving fire response capacity in North County. SDG&E is currently under contract with the City of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department to provide helicopters to increase regional firefighting capabilities during the 2014 fire season. In order to improve regional coverage, officials from SDG&E, the City of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, and Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District established that it would be beneficial to stage the helicopter nearer North Coun-

ty, which was heavily affected by the May 2014 fires. A graded area at the David C. McCollom Water Treatment Plant was identified as an ideal location at which to stage the firefighting helicopter due to its central location and relative distance from residential areas. Ed Sprague, OMWD board treasurer stated: “OMWD’s role during wildfires is generally to make sure that water continues to flow to hydrants, homes, and businesses. But recently, we’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with SDG&E and the fire agencies here today to take a more active role in firefighting efforts by hosting equipment that can drastically reduce response times for our customers and for our facilities.” “The unseasonable wildfires in May

RSF’s efforts to boost broadband progress BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association has received a preliminary proposal from AT&T to improve high-speed internet and wireless communications in the Covenant. Companies Time Warner and Cox Cable are also interested in submitting proposals to provide the Ranch with highspeed internet, according to Acting RSF Association Manager Ivan Holler. “I’m pleased we’re making progress; we’ve been working on this for quite a while,” said Holler. “It’s good news but we still need more information.” At the RSF Association board’s September retreat, they had a discussion on broadband and wireless technology and

were able to connect with several industry professionals, including an executive from Qualcomm. Staff and RSF Association Director Philip Wilkinson also met with ExteNet, the utility that owns the Distributed Antenna Network (DAS) in Rancho Santa Fe, about possible enhancements to their network, such as stand-alone antennas. The installation of stand-alone antennas would require a modification to the Wireless Community Master Plan as would any increase beyond the 53 DAS nodes that were previously approved. There are 48 nodes on utility poles within the Covenant.

Some RSF parents seek return Couple plead guilty in fraud case of Spanish to elementary school BY KAREN BILLING Roger Rowe parent Linda Leong came before the Rancho Santa Fe School Board on Oct. 2 to request that the school bring back foreign language instruction for kindergarten through fifth grades, presenting the trustees with a petition signed by 60 parents. Leong said the Mandarin Chinese program has been a very successful middleschool class, as is Spanish. She thinks the same enthusiasm for foreign language could be captured in the lower grades. “I think the demographic has changed, and the interest has increased among young families,” she said. In January 2013, the board discussed bringing back K-6 Spanish. At that time, the elementary school configuration was still K-5 and the middle school was still 7-8. Superintendent Lindy Delaney said for instruction to be successful, it needed to be offered five days a week, which would not only cost around $220,000, but would come at the expense of another program being cut. “I understand that we have a packed schedule for children; however, we can be creative,” Leong said. She suggested foreign language could be offered before school in the mornings, like the music program, or after school like robotics, which has turned into a very robust program. As for the cost, Leong said she thinks they should be able to find the money, possibly from the savings in utility bills after the district’s Prop. 39 energy-efficiency projects are completed.

Before 1997, Spanish was offered in middle school only. But when the RSF Endowment was established, then-Superintendent R. Roger Rowe pushed for Spanish to be provided to grades K-6. In 1998, students K-6 were taking Spanish three times a week for 30 minutes, but there was not a lot of carryover into middle school. In 2001, Spanish was reduced to just twice a week, and from 2002-04 it went down to one day a week for 45 minutes. In 2004-06, it was not offered at all for K-6, but was brought back in 2007-10 as an elective class for fifth- and sixth-grade students. For the elective, students took Spanish three times a week for 45 minutes, but could not take any other elective for the year. At its peak in 2009-10, there were 14 students in fifth-grade Spanish 1A, and 20 in sixth-grade Spanish 1B. But those numbers dropped to seven in fifth grade and eight in sixth grade by the following year. RSF School Board Vice President Todd Frank recommended that the district consider a survey of parents to gauge the interest level for Spanish. The last time a survey was conducted regarding foreign language was in 2009, related to electives choices. At that time, parents ranked art and science at the top of elective preferences, and Spanish came out on the bottom. Delaney said she would bring the Spanish topic back for board discussion at the district’s November meeting.

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A real estate investor and his wife pleaded guilty Sept. 30 to conspiring with a Rancho Santa Fe broker and others to defraud mortgage lenders and impede the Internal Revenue Service. Grant McCollough, 38, and his wife, Marisa, 36, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and defrauding the United States. Both face up to five years in prison when they are sentenced Jan. 6, 2015, by U.S. District Judge Michael Anello. The McColloughs — of Kearney, Neb. — recruited investors to act as “straw buyers” and arranged for false information to be submitted to mortgage lenders in support of the buyers’ loan applications, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The McColloughs also inflated the value of the homes and disguised the source of the down payments in order to skim funds from the fraudulent transfer of property among their co-conspirators. They also admitted hiding their skimmed profits from the IRS, prosecutors said. More than a dozen of the fraudulent mortgages were arranged by Donald Totten, a mortgage loan officer and broker operating out of Rancho Santa Fe. He pleaded guilty in February to mortgage fraud, bankruptcy fraud and filing a false tax return that failed

2014-15 assessment rate set BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board of directors set the 2014-15 assessment rate at its Oct. 2 meeting. The rate was established at 14 cents per $100 of assessed valuation per the San Diego County Assessor’s roll. Of the 14 cents, 11.5 cents is applied to general services and 2.5 cents toward the Community Enhancement Fund. The total valuation for all Covenant properties per the July roll was $4,128 billion. This represents a 3.74 percent increase over last year’s accessed valuation, according to Steve Comstock, Association chief financial officer.

to report more than $3 million in taxable income. Totten specialized in brokering a negative amortization loan product that allowed borrowers to make monthly payments less than the interest charged over the same period and without paying down the principal balance, so that the monthly payments were low but the outstanding balance of the loan increased over time. Totten admitted that defaults in the mortgages he brokered caused losses of between $2.5 million and $20 million. He is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 20. Grant McCollough’s business partner at Tycoon Investments, Jason Kent, pleaded guilty in July and admitted assisting Totten, the McColloughs and others with carrying out the mortgage and kickback scheme. The McColloughs arranged for loan applications to include made-up employment and represented that borrowers earned substantial salaries from the company, when in reality, Tycoon Investments had no employees, according to the government. With Totten’s help, Marisa McCollough bought a $3.4 million ocean-front home in Lahaina, Hawaii. In order to qualify, she falsely claimed she earned $90,000 per month, had close to $700,000 in savings, and made a down payment of $630,000.

RSF Fire District, RSF Association combine efforts to remove diseased eucalyptus trees Beautiful scenery has long been a source of pride for Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and the surrounding communities. The eucalyptus forests, tree-lined streets, manicured lawns, and landscaped flower beds create a rural, peaceful setting for those living in the area. Unfortunately, some of this vegetation has gone from being decorative to becoming a potential fire hazard. Over the past few years, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District has seen an increase in the amount of tree mortality, which has been brought on by prolonged drought, insect infestation, disease, and lack of maintenance. These changes have led to an increased fire hazard within the Fire District boundaries. In an effort to protect lives and property, the district is working with the Rancho Santa Fe Association and local homeowners to eliminate hazardous trees within the district and bring properties into compliance with existing fire codes. “We are absolutely not looking to remove all of the

This photo shows a property that has had diseased trees removed and remaining trees appropriately trimmed. Courtesy photo trees in the area,” explained Conor Lenehan, urban forester for the district. “Rather, we are targeting only those trees that are clearly diseased. We are also encouraging homeowners to clean up and maintain any undergrowth and ladder fuels. This will help minimize the fire hazard in the community and beautify the landscape. “ “Our No. 1 priority is the preservation of the historic community character while maintaining a safe and sustainable environment for the residents,” added Arnold Keene, field operations manager for the Rancho Santa Fe Association. “Over the last decade, our workload has shifted substantially to removal and thinning of trees and plants due to drought conditions, and insect infestation throughout the region, with a renewed focus on the reduction of potenSee TREES, page 26

RSF School District adopts advanced math track BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District adopted an advanced math pathway Oct. 2 for grades 4-8. In meeting with the district’s team of teachers, math specialists and principals, Superintendent Lindy Delaney recommended they offer advanced math at every level, because they have students who are ready to accelerate. The district will offer advanced math in fourth through sixth grade, with an assessment test given after sixth grade to allow students to skip seventh-grade math and go into eighth- grade math. Between fourth and fifth grades, the district will do assessments to see which students are ready for the next step, offering a 5/6 accelerated-math class in fifth grade and a 6/7 class in sixth grade. The eighth-grade honors class is aligned with San Dieguito Union High School District’s pathway. Identifying students who go into the

advanced math program is always the biggest challenge, Delaney said. She said she always wants to give students a chance, but she wants them to be ready to succeed — if the district finds that students need more basics or if the program is too rigorous, they can always be pulled back. At the Oct. 2 meeting, Delaney said that at the well-attended Common Core math information sessions held last month, she learned that parents need more support and resources to help their children with math. She said the district is discussing future meetings to offer more information and tools on the curriculum and possibly having teachers send home goals of the week for parents and offering after-hours help. “I really appreciated the meetings; it really gives you an opportunity to hear where the parents are coming from,” Delaney said. “I learned some things. I love to learn how we can make it better.”

CERT volunteers sought in RSF Local residents are being asked to participate in a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training to become disaster workers. The classes are free and open to all residents or employees of Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach who are 18 years or older. CERT members are trained in basic life- and property-saving skills in the event of a major disaster when professional services have not yet arrived or are overwhelmed. CERT training is designed to prepare you to help yourself, your family, and your neighbors in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Because emergency services personnel will not be able to help everyone immediately, you can make a difference by using the CERT training to save lives and protect property. The next CERT training begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, at the Encinitas Community Center, Room 142B, SE Corner of Encinitas Blvd. and Balour Drive, Encinitas. For details and to sign up, contact Arnie Lewin at alewin@encinitasca.gov, or Eric Phillips, Engineer/Paramedic, Solana Beach Fire Department, at 858-720-4412 or ephillips@cosb.org.

Meet the RSF School District board candidates Four candidates — Christopher Blatt, Todd Frank, Marti Ritto and Violetta Sansone — are vying for two seats on the RSF School District board in the Nov. 4 election. On pages 4 and 5 are answers to questions submitted by the RSF Review to the candidates, as well as biographical information on each candidate. The candidates are listed in alphabetical order.

Christopher Blatt Occupation: Director, Sales and Marketing, High Technology Electronics Years living in the RSF School District: 3 years Community activities: Robotics coach, scouts, church Education: BS/MS Chemical/Nuclear Engineering 1. Why are you running for a seat on the RSF School board? I have three children, 3, 4 and 6, that are in or will be entering the R. Roger Rowe School over the next several years. I am a strong believer in education as the foundation for the future of the youth and want to be able to positively contribute to that success. 2.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF School District? The are always many challenges when dealing with a diverse group of individuals. However, I am sure that all parties want the same thing, and that is the best education and training

Christopher Blatt for the children at the school. The conflicts often arise when the paths to achieve that goal are not viewed the same by everyone. The school board has a great challenge in balancing all the outstanding requests and suggestions from the many very talented and gifted parents in the community to select those that best suit the needs of the children. 3.) How would you propose to address those issues? The best thing that can be done for this or any issue is full communication to all

interested parties. It is very important to ensure that the parents, staff, faculty and, in some cases, the students themselves, are well versed on the topics in question. Gathering their inputs and understanding the reasons why these ideas are favored or not is critical to moving the idea forward with the team or modifying it to better suit the situation. There may need to be additional meetings with the public to address specific issues should there be a more divided topic that is being pursued. Drawing vital information from the community to tackle the most challenging problems will be one of the keys to success. 4.) Do you agree with the way the RSF School board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? The school board is doing a great job at working through the issues and trying to do what is right for the students, staff, and parents. There are always areas See BLATT, page 26

Marti Ritto Occupation (current or former): School Board Trustee/Parent/ Technology Advisor / Op-era Singer/Retired Yahoo! Years living in the RSF School District: 13 Community activities: Trustee & Immediate Past President of the RSF School Board of Trustee; Member & Supporter of: RSF Education Foundation - Scholar’s Circle; RSF Literary Society, RSF Historical Society, RSF Library Guild, RSF Community Center, and The Country Friends. Education: University of Colorado, Boulder — Bachelor of Arts 1.) Why are you running? As a current R. Roger Rowe parent and community member, I have been honored to be a part of the RSF School board for the last four years, having served in the roles of immediate Past President, Vice President, Clerk and Trustee, and I would like the opportunity to help ensure that our tradition of superior education

Marti Ritto continues to thrive in the RSF School District. I believe that there is more good work to be done. 2.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF School District? 3.) How would you propose to address those issues? Answer to questions 2 and 3: I believe that our issues are twofold. Firstly, finances for public education are always a concern, especially in the last four years, and I believe they will continue to be an issue in the foreseeable future. I believe we have been and must

continue to be conservative stewards of our district finances to safeguard our high quality education for future RSF District students. Secondly, Academic Programs must remain strong and continue to strengthen the skills of our students. During my past four years on the school board, I have watched the evolution of the Columbia Reading and Writing program help to boost our test scores to their highest ever for our district, and we are again ranked 10/10 in both elementary and middle school among similar schools in the state. We need to work with the staff and the community to provide the highest quality math programs that we are able. To insure that we meet the educational needs of the future we must expose our students to the very latest advances in technology and to rigorous and challenging benchmarks so that they are fully equipped

See RITTO, page 26

Violetta Sansone Occupation (current or former): Mortgage Banker/Income Tax Preparer Years living in the RSF School District: Nine years owner in the Covenant Community activities: Various events to the best of my availability Education: Economics/Finance and Credit/Taxation Law 1.) Why are you running for a seat on the RSF School board? I want to be more involved in my children’s and their peers’ education When my husband and I purchased our house in the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe nine years ago, Roger Rowe Elementary was a top school in the county. And while our school is still outstanding, there are many areas for improvement. As a Covenant resident and parent of 1st and 3rd graders, I believe that I have higher interest in our school’s performance over my opponents. Fresh ideas

Violetta Sansone are important to keep us moving forward. 2.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF School District? We need to prepare our students for a global economy — technology, languages, math. While a new gym and expanded school footprint may be important, I believe they are secondary to preparing our children for a competitive future. We are lucky, our school is like a private school, both the school and its students should perform like one, graduating top- notch students. 3.) How would you propose to address those issues?

The most important way to address those issues is to listen to those that have a vested interest — mostly the parents and students, followed by teachers and staff. I’m not arrogant enough to think that I have all the answers, but I do think that the community does. Right now, I think those voices are missing from the school’s direction. 4.) Do you agree with the way the RSF School board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? Transparency, especially regarding long-term strategy, continuous improvement and finances, are vital. This community is evolving and while certain approaches or ideas may not have made sense 10 years ago, doesn’t mean they don’t make sense today. Too often, an entrenched board fails to realize this. I will bring these fresh ideas and perspective. 5.) How do you think your experience can help See SANSONE, page 26

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - OCTOBER 9, 2014 - PAGE A7

RSF Patrol member puts out call to locate kidney donor for his son BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Patrol’s Sal Gambino is dedicated to saving his son’s life. He is looking for a live kidney donor for his son, Vincent who, at 21, is in severe kidney failure. “I am a father who wants to see his son enjoy the wonderful life that is in front of him,” Sal wrote in a recent e-mail to friends and community members. “You never know who’s out there and who is willing to donate and who could be a perfect match,” Sal said. In October 2013, Vincent learned his kidney functions were between 20 and 22 percent. “This came out of the blue and was a complete shock to all of us,” said Sal, who has been a member of the RSF Patrol for five years after 27 years in law enforcement, including with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department and Oceanside Police Department. “It’s very hard as a parent.” In September, Vincent’s function dropped to 13 percent and, according to his doctors, this is considered stagefive kidney failure and he should start dialysis. “It was difficult to accept how such a healthy young man could have stage five kidney failure,” Sal said. Vincent graduated in 2011 from Fallbrook High School and is working for Chase Bank. He is scheduled to attend Cal State San Marcos this semester, studying business. Like his father Sal, Vincent is a member of the San Diego County Football Officials Association and North County Basketball Officials Association, serving as a referee for high school and youth football games. Also like his father, Vincent aims for a career in law enforcement — he is applying to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. “He has his whole life in front of him,” Sal said. “He is an amazing kid, he’s taken this thing in stride … He’s one of those kids that makes a parent proud.”

Vincent and Sal Gambino referee a local football game together. The Gambinos decided the best course of action would be to search for a possible donor before Vincent starts dialysis. Sal, his wife, Cindy, and Vincent’s brother, Nicholas, will all be tested, as will extended family members — however, if no one is a match, they would like to have a list of potential donors. “It does take a strong person to be willing to donate an organ,” Sal said. “You only need one kidney to survive.” The wait time for a matching deceased healthy donor is between five to 10 years, with a life expectancy of 10-plus years with a healthy deceased donor. However, the waiting period for a live matching donor is less than a year, and the life expectancy

Vincent Gambino, who is in need of a kidney donor, in the hospital. from a living, healthy donor is 20-plus years. Vincent is blood type A-positive, so any O-blood type or A blood-type donor would be a candidate. There is no cost to be a kidney donor; the medical cost is covered by Vincent’s insurance. “Vincent needs a new kidney, and we hope you will consider being tested as a donor,” Sal said. To find out more about living kidney donation, visit kidney.org/transplantation/ livingdonors/index.cfm. To contact Vincent’s transplant coordinator for information and questions, call Jamie Rullman at (858) 554-4303. To request an application to be an organ donor, call 858-554-4310.

USA rowing womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pair Kerry Simmonds, left, a Torrey Pines graduate, and Megan Kalmoe won silver medals at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.

Torrey Pines alumna aiming to row her way into Rio Olympics BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School alumna Kerry Simmons won the silver medal at the 2014 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam on Aug. 30. Simmonds, 25, won the pairs competition with her partner, twotime Olympian Megan Kalmoe. She now lives in Princeton, N.J., and trains with the USA rowing team with her sights set on rowing at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silver-medal finish wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Simmonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first taste of international rowing success. In 2013, Simmonds was also part of the gold-winning USA National Team of eight at the World Rowing Championships held in South Korea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The pairs) medal was a little bit more rewarding than the eight, because with the pairs youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little more responsible for how it goes and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much vulnerability to it. It was pretty special,â&#x20AC;? Simmonds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You put yourself out there a little more and

you show yourself and others what you can do.â&#x20AC;? Simmonds graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 2007, an athlete who ran cross country and track and played basketball. When she was visiting her choice college, University of Washington, her tour guide suggested she consider rowing because she was so tall at 6 feet even. Being tall is an advantage in rowing, as the idea is to move the boat as fast as possible by maximizing the length and efficiency of each stroke â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the taller the rower, the better the mechanical advantage, according to Kalmoe. When Simmonds returned to San Diego after that visit, she and her mom went to the Mission Bay Aquatic Center and took out a boat for a lesson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking back now, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the greatest time,â&#x20AC;? Simmonds said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I thought maybe I could try rowing out, that it could be something that kept me active.â&#x20AC;?

Serene and Private Covenant Estate

This property is sure to capture your imagination. Situated on 2.98 covenant acres down a long tree lined drive at the end of a cul-de-sac youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover this incredible family compound. Offering 4+ bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths,two offices, outdoor kitchen and living room, sand volleyball court and paddle tennis court. This estate is meticulously maintained

At U-Dub, rowing is a Division 1 NCAA-funded sport and it turned out rowing was a pretty big deal in Seattle. Simmonds found the tradition of the sport inspiring, and after trying out, was named to the novice squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot like me who had never rowed, and the team was pretty good (at) being patient,â&#x20AC;? Simmonds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The transition was not super-hard; the challenge was actually kind of nice. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of lingo you have to learn. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a whole new world.â&#x20AC;? She learned about pace and endurance and the right way to put the blade into the water, an art she is still working to perfect. And she met The Erg, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;brutal, honestâ&#x20AC;? indoor rowing machine that measures a rowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s output. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good tool for training and is definitely the hardest workout Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done,â&#x20AC;? Simmonds said. Simmonds competed with the Huskies in the thenPac-10, spending her freshman year on the novice boat, making the JV boat as a sophomore and moving into the varsity boat for her final two years. While in college, she was invited to USA Rowingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Under 23 team camps and made the team the summer of her senior year, winning gold at the 2010 World Rowing Under 23 Championships. After graduating from college with a degree in biology, she moved to Princeton to train with the U.S. National Team, just as they were selecting the 2012 Olympic team. Her Erg scores werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t high enough to be picked, so in fall 2012 she started working on development along with another new group of rowers. She made the eight team in 2013 that won the championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight won in the 2012 London Olympics and have won every year since 2006,â&#x20AC;? Simmonds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2013, it was a completely new group. We were just thinking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t screw it up.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? USA Rowing holds a National Selection Regatta to determine who will make up the pairs boats. The fastest pair earns the right to compete at the World Cup and the World Championships that year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Megan and I werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t favored; we were the underdogs,â&#x20AC;? said Simmonds of the 2014 selection regatta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we came through and ended up winning.â&#x20AC;? The pair earned the right to compete at the World Rowing Cup in France in June, taking silver, and then went on to represent the U.S. in Amsterdam in August. Simmonds and Kalmoe went up against the defending Olympic pairs champions from Great Britain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the crew to beat. We had nothing to lose,â&#x20AC;? Simmonds said.

The Great Britain team is known for getting an early lead and hanging onto it, so Simmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Kalmoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was to keep close to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We moved into them a little at the end, but not enough to win, and New Zealand was pushing us,â&#x20AC;? Simmonds said of the seven minute, 2,000-meter race where they finished fast and strong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was pushing everyone.â&#x20AC;? At Princeton, Simmonds and about 29 other rowers are training six times a week, four to six hours a day over two to three practices. The rowers cross-train with running, biking, weight lifting and a lot of Erging. The USA team uses the same boathouse as the Princeton crew on Lake Carnegie and also rows at Mercer Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does get cold here, and the lake eventually freezes,â&#x20AC;? Simmonds said. During the winter, the team will use the Erg or they come to San Diego for winter camp, training at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. Those two-anda-half months back home in San Diego are fun for Simmonds, being close to family and friends. In what little spare time she has, Simmonds also helps coach a high school rowing team in Princeton, but rowing is her full-time job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been aiming for the Rio Olympics,â&#x20AC;? said Simmonds, adding that every year athletes want to make the National Team, but only in an Olympic year is it the Olympic team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an Olympic hopeful, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not an Olympian yet. The goal is to stay healthy, keep training and make the team next summer.â&#x20AC;?

CCA singer to tackle bullying during Teen Nation Tour BY KRISTINA HOUCK Bullied when he was in middle school, Canyon Crest Academy junior Mason Mercer now spends his free time as an anti-bullying advocate. To kick off National Bullying Prevention Month, the 16-year-old is joining other teen singers in Teen Nation Tour, a peer-to-peer community service program that educates youth about bullying. Through the program, teen recording artists perform and share their personal stories during 90-minute school assemblies for middle and high school students. “It’s such an important cause, because it teaches kids what it means to be bullied,” said Mason. “Maybe they don’t even know they’re being bullied, or maybe they don’t even know they’re the bully. It teaches them how to treat everyone.” The Teen Nation Tour kicked off its fall tour Sept. 8 in Raleigh, N.C. The tour will stop in several North Carolina cities, as well as Nashville, Knoxville and Atlanta, and will end in Texas. Mason is joining the tour for a one-week stint that started Oct. 4. He and

on iTunes, the song encourages people to make a difference. It is one of the songs he plans to perform during the tour. “My experience helped me become a stronger person, and it’s helped me write music to help others become stronger and stand up for themselves,” he said. Mason began performing on stage when he was just 8 years old. At 13, he became the lead singer of his band, Open for Business, which has performed at the House of Blues in San Diego, the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Fiesta del Sol in Solana Beach, among other local spots. Besides Mason’s personal experience with bullying, his older sister’s activism inspired him to share his story. Torrey Mercer, a Canyon Crest Academy alumna, also raises awareness about bullying by singing and sharing her story with K-12 students across the U.S.

She was among several artists who participated in the 2011 No Bully Tour. Sponsored by JNFE Global, the national tour featured musicians and guest speakers who talked about bullying at campuses across the country. After the tour, Torrey, now a senior at UC Irvine, launched her own anti-bullying program at Balboa Elementary School in San Diego in June 2012. She has since visited dozens of schools, mostly throughout California. Mason has appeared as a motivational speaker at some of the events. “I’ve done no-bullying assemblies with my sister and I absolutely loved it,” Mason said. “I’ve been wanting to do this, so I’m so excited to have this amazing opportunity.” For more about the Teen Nation Tour, visit teennationtour.org. For more about Mason and his music, visit masonmercermusic.com.

Golf Classic at RSF Golf Club to benefit RSF Community Center Mason Mercer Courtesy photo several other artists are visiting a number of schools in Charlotte and Concord before performing at the televised NASCAR Sprint Cup series at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “I hope the students learn they can be a better person if they strive for it,” Mason said. “They can also help other people around them be better people. If you see something happening, stop it. It’s not OK.” Relationship drama led to bullying and lost friendships for Mason when he was in middle school. The experience inspired him to write “Stand Up,” his first single. Available

The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center will hold its 21st annual “All Fore the Community” Golf Classic on Monday, Oct. 27, at the exclusive Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The tournament is open to the public and will feature an 18-hole scramble as well as a putting contest, lunch, tee prizes and an after-party including dinner, hosted bar, awards ceremony and silent and live auctions. “The Golf Classic is one of our largest fundraisers of the year,” said Linda Durket, executive director of the Community Center. “Thanks to the incredible support of local businesses and residents, the tournament continues to be a favorite in the community.” Player cost is $350 per player and the After Party is $75 (included in player fee). Many sponsor levels include player fees. All proceeds will benefit the RSF Community Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit serving the community through youth after-school classes, sports leagues and a variety of activities for all ages.

Farrington and Blue Angel win Battle of the Nations On Saturday, Sept. 27, Robin Parskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blue Angel and her rider, Kent Farrington, led the USA to victory in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battle of the Nationsâ&#x20AC;? at the inaugural Longines Los Angeles Masters horse show. A brand-new concept, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battle of the Nationsâ&#x20AC;? is a kind of Ryder Cup created for show-jumping riders. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battleâ&#x20AC;? took place in two rounds over a 1.55-meter course designed by Belgian Luc Musette. Thirty-three riders competed. Five countries vied against the USA. France was the most-represented nation, followed by the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Egypt. During the second â&#x20AC;&#x153;winning round,â&#x20AC;? the eight best U.S. athletes returned to jump against the eight best athletes from the rest of the world. In characteristic form, Blue Angel and Farrington flew around the jump-off course faultlessly in 39.54 seconds to secure the win for Team USA. Nayel Nassar of Egypt was second and Kevin Staut of France was third. The American leg of the Masters Grand Slam Indoor put Los Angeles and California on the map of the international equestrian scene. Fifty of the top show-jumping horses from Europe were flown to Los Angeles, and more than 150 other horses from across the U.S., Mexico and Canada were all stabled at the Los Angeles Convention Center. A large ring and grandstands were erected inside the main hall of the Convention Center, with exquisite backdrops and lighting throughout. Lunch and dinner were served at beautiful VIP tables alongside the competition ring. Celebrities attending included Bruce Springsteen and his daughter, Jessica, James Caan, Anjelica Huston, Hannah Selleck, Kaley Cuoco, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Michael Bloomberg and his daughter, Georgina, and Bill Gates and his daughter, Jennifer. The show was considered a huge success and will return next year to the Los Angeles Convention Center from Oct. 1-4, 2015. Kent Farrington and Blue Angel have seven major wins so far this year in Florida, Rome, Dublin, Calgary and Los Angeles. This month, they will attempt to repeat their win from last year in The Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cup at the Washington International Horse Show. In December, they will finish the year at the Gucci Masters in Paris, and then the CHI Geneva Horse Show.

Local software developer creates free app to put brakes on teens who text while driving BY KAREN BILLING A local software developer has created a way to keep teens from texting while driving. Travis Niedosikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Ride Safe app detects when a teen is on the move and works to effectively shut down a cellphone when a certain speed limit is reached. The free app went live Sept. 22 on the Google Play app store, and given the number of high schools in the area and the character of the neighborhood, Niedosik hopes downloads will result in fewer distracted drivers on the roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It costs nothing to download, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason not to and to stay safe,â&#x20AC;? Niedosik said. Niedosik, an engineer who has been in software development in one form or another for 10 years, works for a defense contractor. Ride Safe is his first venture into the app world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been interested in technology and software development,â&#x20AC;? said Niedosik, a Philadelphia native. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been a tinkerer.â&#x20AC;? He took up the app project on his own after seeing the trials a good friend went through after being rear-ended by a teenager who was texting while driving. Just a week before the accident, his friend had wrapped up rehab for his back from another accident. The new accident â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely set him backwards. It was really debilitating for him, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really work,â&#x20AC;? Niedosik said. Niedosik said the most eye-opening part of his friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident is that the teen driver admitted he was texting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but he had been texting his mom back to tell her where he was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The insane thing about the story was, he was just trying to communicate with his parent, and if the parent knew he was driving at the time, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have wanted him texting at all,â&#x20AC;? Niedosik said.

Travis Niedosik â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do something better here when it comes to kids and texting while driving, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as wellequipped to make good decisions with their phones and the penalties for making bad decisions with their phones are so great.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? While Niedosik is a parent, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a few years away from needing the app â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a father to a 2-year-old boy with his second child on the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My experience as a parent in the first few years has even further convinced

me that I will need this app,â&#x20AC;? Niedosik laughed, noting that his very willful son seems to do whatever he wants despite what Dad says. Once downloaded, the Ride Safe app is always running in the background and it detects when the speed limit set in the configurations is met. The phone automatically shuts down; users cannot make calls, and any calls they are on are dropped. Incoming calls are sent to voice mail. Niedosik said users canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the phone unless they pass an attention verification test â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to pass it while driving, but could pass it if they were passengers in a moving vehicle. The app does come with an emergency override. Since launching in the Google Play store, Niedosik said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten about 25 users so far and, to his surprise, some international users in Spain and Italy.

Local doctor at forefront of women’s health research • Accomplished Scripps gynecologist one of the first physicians to perform hysterectomies through the navel BY KATHY DAY Dr. Bruce Kahn acknowledges he’s one of those guys who likes to stay busy. And he’s not kidding. A quick glance at the Scripps Health physician’s curriculum vitae tells only part of the story. A gynecologist with a subspecialty in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, he was one of the first Scripps physicians to perform hysterectomies through the navel. A local resident, he is at Dr. Bruce Kahn with his wife, Janet, and their twins the forefront of research in Brendan and Natalie. women’s health, an adviser to a wireless medical device company, chairman of graduate medical education at Scripps Memorial Hospital, and a frequent contributor to medical journals and speaker at a wide range of conferences. He and his wife, Janet, who received an MBA from the University of Chicago and works on a project basis as a management consultant, are parents of twins who graduated last spring from Canyon Crest Academy and are now firmly planted in their freshman years at college in Chicago and Boston. “I love my job,” Kahn said in a recent interview. “I usually have several things going in my work life and out.” When asked whether he ever sleeps, he retorted with a laugh, “Sleep is a necessary evil.” He has built a reputation in the new medical subspecialty of urogynecology, which combines urology and gynecology and is particularly respected for his work in interstitial cystitis — or painful bladder syndrome. He’s one of an estimated 700 physicians in the country to pass the board exam given last year — the first in which it was administered by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. “It’s different taking a board exam in your early 50s,” he said, adding that “it’s a very special privilege to be part of the initial class.” While conceding he’s “a true academic at heart,” Kahn stresses that his first love is for his patients. “The best part is working with individual patients, developing that physicianpatient relationship and helping find solutions to their problems.” Years ago, physicians didn’t like treating pelvic pain in women, he said, because “they kept coming back, and there was not a good track record.” Now, with newfound knowledge that the problems are often related to the bladder, there are a number of “great solutions” that are nonsurgical and can be done in the office, he added. When surgery is necessary, he looks for the least invasive procedure, including robot-assisted surgeries and laparoscopic hysterectomy. With the introduction of “belly button hysterectomy” in April of this year, he noted, it is possible to hide the incision “if you have a good innie.” That’s a big change from the large abdominal incision previously required for this type of operation. Kahn, grew up in Orange County and is a graduate of UC Irvine (as is his wife) with a degree in biology. He received his master’s in physiology and his M.D. degree from Georgetown University, and worked in several locations before joining the Navy reserves. “Most people do it to see the world; I did it to get to San Diego,” he said. He served at the Naval Medical Center San Diego and UC San Diego before joining Scripps in 1999. With his passion for teaching, he’s taken on directorship of the Scripps Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery and chairs the Graduate Medical Education Program at Scripps Memorial. He also heads the post-graduate education program in obstetrics and gynecology. As if that’s not enough to occupy his time, he’s involved with the Scripps Translational Science Institute in a project to use smartphone technology to reduce the rate of cervical cancer in developing countries. An Israeli biotech startup called MobileOCT, headed by Ariel Beery, has developed technology that enables a smartphone to take digital images of the cervix that can be analyzed remotely. By identifying cancer cells before they develop to an advanced stage, the device can make cost-effective and potentially lifesaving diagnoses available where access to health services is limited, he explained. Kahn said he first met Beery in Tel Aviv during a conference that was part of the Scripps Mobile Health Initiative. After a two-hour meeting, the two knew they had a compelling case to alter the course of the No. 1 cause of cancer for women in developing countries. So they applied for a grant from the Vodafone America Foundation and won $300,000 that will enable them to advance their work. Kahn will head the testing at Scripps as well as at a clinic in Tijuana. While some might hesitate at entering the competitive world of startups, Kahn has no fear. “It’s fun,” he said. “It’s a very different project for me.” With one of his underlying life philosophies being “If you don’t fall down once in a while, you’re not trying hard enough,” it seems only fitting that he would take on this challenge as he has the role of investigator on a number of other research projects.

Local nonprofit pleading for hurricane aid BY JARED WHITLOCK Hurricane Odile destroyed infrastructure and houses across Cabo San Lucas and other Baja California coastal towns, leaving many homeless in its wake. YachtAid Global, a local nonprofit, is looking to provide humanitarian aid to the region in the coming weeks. Hence, residents are encouraged to donate either funds or supplies to bolster the effort. “We’re in contact with 10 different boats that will carry aid from San Diego to Cabo,” said Mark Drewelow, an Encinitas resident who founded YachtAid. The greatest needs: bottled water, first aid supplies, food with a long shelf life, shelter such as pop-up tents and baby care supplies like formula, diapers and wipes. To donate, visit yachtaidglobal.org. YachtAid has a network of boaters around the world who provide supplies to areas in need. Before Odile hit, Drewelow coordinated with a YachtAid volunteer who happened to be in the region. The captain delivered emergency supplies to La Paz, and then produced fresh water onboard, enough to fill water trucks. Odile, packing 125-mile per hour winds, directly slammed into Cabo San Lucas Sept. 14. In its wake, Drewelow said thousands of working class people in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, La Paz and other areas are without food, water and shelter. In light of the growing demand for humanitarian aid there, YachtAid, other nonprofits and additional organizations banded together to make sure supplies get into the hands of those struggling. Greg Edwards is the executive director of Los Cabos Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit that provides medical assistance to children. It’s critical, he said, that people get supplies and shelter soon. Otherwise, disease or other issues could compound. Over the long term, Edwards said, homes and hotels should be rebuilt as soon as possible. “People have been displaced, from their home and their job,” Edwards said. “Now’s the really hard part. They have

He said the region will need help well into the future. Drewelow’s private company C2C, which handles operational logistics for luxury yachts, paved the way for YachtAid. After building up contacts around the world, he set out to make a difference by forming the nonprofit. It has since provided thousands of dollars in aid to 50 regions.

Lucky Duck Foundation’s Swing and Soiree golf event raises $1 million The Lucky Duck Foundation, founded by San Diego philanthropists Pat and Stephanie Kilkenny, recently announced a record one-day fundraising amount of $1 million to San Diego-based charities from their 6th Swing and Soiree golf event held at the Santaluz Golf Club. The Lucky Duck Foundation, is committed to raising awareness and funds for charitable causes, promoting volunteerism and improving communities through leadership and action through volunteers. The Kilkennys selected the Lucky Duck Foundation name because of Pat’s Irish heritage and his Oregon Roots. To date the Lucky Duck Foundation has raised nearly $5 million through donations from its annual golf event and a generous matching funds commitment by Lucky Duck Foundation founders Pat and Stephanie Kilkenny. Three local beneficiaries receiving funds from this year’s event include: St. Vincent De Paul Village, Challenged Athletes Foundation and Helen Woodward Animal Center, as well as a national organization Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, “We focus our charitable giving to local San Diego organizations who have a huge impact on our community,” said Pat Kilkenny. “All four of these groups fit that mold and have had an amazing influence on the people they help and serve. Both Stephanie and I along with our volunteers are extremely proud to help these great causes.” For more information on the Lucky Duck Foundation, please visit www.luckyduckfoundation.org.

‘Freud’s Last Session’ at North Coast Rep imagines meeting of two great minds Scenes from the upcoming show, ‘The Saga of Sagebrush Sal,’ at the Village Church.

‘Sagebrush Sal’ brings Wild West tale to Village Church community The Village Church Community invites all to see “The Saga of Sagebrush Sal,” a comedy Western melodrama, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12 at the Bloody Turnip Saloon, on the stage at the Village Church. “This is a tale of the old, old West, where men were men and women were — well, maybe it would be better for you to see the show instead of trying to describe it here. One of the most notable ladies of this pioneer period in our nation’s history was Sagebrush Sal. You might say that in all the wild, wild West, Sagebrush had the prettiest face, the best legs — and the most arms! She was also a two-gum woman, with one chaw for each jaw.” And so begins the tale, which features a hero, a villain, a dainty, delectable, delicious, delirious heroine, and a whole pack of cowboys and Indians from the 1890s. In authentic melodrama style, the audience will be heartily encouraged to boo and hiss the villain, Jake the Snake, and cheer for our hero, Heartbleed Haymeadow, as we see good triumph over evil. All the action will be highlighted with old-time piano rendered by Gay Nineties musician Jeff Brown. Entirely appropriate for families, “The Saga of Sagebrush Sal” presents a great opportunity to experience old-time theater, so round up the kids and grandkids and step back in time to the old, old West. Tickets can be purchased at villagechurchcommunitytheater.org, or call 858-756-2441, Ext. 128.

North Coast Repertory Theater’s newest production is “Freud’s Last Session,” a lively, witty Off-Broadway production about a fictional meeting between famed psychotherapist Sigmund Freud and the writer C.S. Lewis. Near the end of his life, Freud invites a final visitor, the writer C.S. Lewis, who will soon gain wide fame for his book, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” Not only are their views highly divergent — Freud is a committed atheist; Lewis, once an atheist, is now a committed Anglican — the two are a study in contrasts. Freud is irascible and adamantly opinionated; Lewis is sunny, warm and unflappable. The two men engage in a far-ranging, lively, witty debate touching on love, religion, politics and the meaning of life. Playwright Mark St. Germain infuses this fictional meeting with gentle humor and sharp dialogue. Winner of the 2011 Best Play Award by the Off Broadway Alliance, this San Diego premiere is a must-see for the discerning theater lover. Director David Ellenstein directs Michael Santo and Bruce Turk in “Freud’s Last Session.” The design staff includes Marty Burnett (Scenic Design), Matt Novotny (Lighting Design), Alina Bokovikova (Costume Design), Melanie Chen (Sound Design), and Benjamin Cole (Props Design). Cindy Rumley stage manages. Previews for “Freud’s Last Session” begin Wednesday, Oct. 15. Opening night is 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 and includes a post-show reception. There will be a special talkback on Friday, Oct. 24, with the cast and artistic director. “Freud” will play at 7 p.m. Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. matinees Saturdays and Sundays and 7 p.m. Sundays, through Nov. 9. North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach. Opening night tickets are $54; preview tickets are $37; weeknights are $44;. Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees are $48; Saturday matinees and Sunday evenings, $41. Seniors, students and military get $3 off admission. Call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep. org for tickets.

‘Belle’ vocalist to perform at Community Concert of RSF BY GAIL KENDALL Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe is still on a high following its successful 2014-15 Season Opener with Fernando Varela last month. Superb talent and entertainment is in store for the audience this month too, with a performance Oct. 24 with Broadway star Susan Egan at the Village Church Fellowship Hall. Egan has traveled all four corners of the entertainment Susan Egan industry, making powerful impressions in theatre, film, television, and music. She is probably best known for her Tony Award-winning role as the original “Belle” in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” but she has also been a hit on Broadway, starring in the title role of “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” and won critical acclaim as Broadway’s longest-running “Sally Bowles” in “Cabaret.” She has also starred alongside Carol Burnett in Stephen Sondheim’s “Putting it Together,” with Tommy Tune in the national tour of “Bye Bye Birdie,” and created works at Yale University, Baltimore Center Stage, South Coast Repertory, and the Mark Taper Forum. Egan has also recorded the voice of “Belle” for all Disney Princess CDs and toys. In animation, it is her sultry voice as “Meg” in Disney’s “Hercules,” and she sang as “Angel” in “Lady and the Tramp II.” Her credits in animation go on and on, including television. She has appeared in more than 300 solo concerts from coast to coast, including the high seas with the Disney Cruise Line. She has taken the stage with symphonies nationwide, including at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, and the Hollywood Bowl. She has more than 40 recording credits from Broadway and six solo CDs. She also offers master classes at universities across the country. Canyon Crest in San Diego is looking forward to a master class with Egan, an outreach program made available by Community Concerts with most of its concert performers. Find Egan’s full bio on the Community Concert Facebook page and a short video clip at www.ccrsf.org. Single tickets are available for $75.

Letters to the editor/opinion

Rant with Randi: Cyber Safety: ‘The Talk’ BY RANDI CRAWFORD I don’t know how many of you have been to a talk on cyber-safety, but they are definitely worth your time. I attended one recently and found myself feeling very nostalgic and sad for my kids. I’m so thankful that I didn’t grow up in this digital world that is so vast and so “public.” Our kids will never know privacy, ever. And worse, anything they put out there in cyberspace is permanent. We constantly hear that their “frontal lobes” aren’t fully formed until they are 25, so how are they supposed to make decisions that we tell them can affect their future and the rest of their life? We try to teach them that their words and pictures do not go away, but that’s an impossible concept to get across to a kid. I can’t believe I’m doing this, but do you remember the good old-fashioned telephone, and if a boy wanted to call you, he had to get through your parents first? That awful moment when you call, hear a parent on the other end of the line, and quickly hang up. That was before Caller ID, when they could bust you on the spot. That’s such a huge part of the process of growing up and experiencing awkward moments that shape who we become. Unfortunately, with cellphones and technology, that will never happen to our kids. Parents are bypassed all day long. I just read a great article in which the author asked the question, “Would the movie ‘The Breakfast Club’ even exist today?” Think about it: Those kids would all be on their phones, taking selfies and telling everyone on the outside how lame their day in detention was. They wouldn’t be interacting and actually talking with one another. They wouldn’t be asking Carl to talk to them about a career in the janitorial arts. It’s so sad. I don’t know if this generation has a name, but I call them iKids. One thing this woman spoke about that really caught my attention was family values. My thoughts immediately went to honesty and integrity. But the more she spoke, I found myself sinking in my chair. To be on any type of social media, you need to be 13 years old. And for some reason, I was pretty headstrong about that with my daughter and Facebook. She got her account the day she turned 13 — but here’s what gets me. For some unknown reason, we let both our kids have an Instagram account a few years ago (way before they were 13). I don’t know if subconsciously we had no idea the legal age was 13, or maybe we didn’t want to know? But her talk made me realize that our kids had to lie in order to get their accounts, which is painful, considering the fact that we teach them to never lie. The direction of this conversation made me very uncomfortable, because it pointed out how easily we can slip, even if we are incredibly headstrong parents. When I got home, I did exactly what this speaker said not to do. I had a major download with my son right after the talk, because that’s just who I am, sorry. I asked him how he felt about lying about his age to get his Instagram account — to which he replied, “Mom, it’s not like I’m killing anyone, or hurting anyone, I just want an Instagram, and you said it was OK. What’s the big deal?” So I told him that the big deal is that it compromises our family values, and if we compromise on some things, how and where do we draw the line? We ended up having a very good conversation. The speaker taught us that even if we can’t keep on top of all the trends, we can control behavior. In other words, we shouldn’t be scared of Snapchat, Instagram, Vine, Wanelo, Pheed or Kik, but we need to establish guidelines. Face it, the hot “app” trends are going to change constantly, depending on what kids think is cool. We will never be out in front of that, but at least we can “get on the bus.” (Don’t even get me started on R-rated movies.) Have you bent any family rules, in order to let your kids have apps, play video games or watch movies that they shouldn’t be allowed to? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.

Corrections for Cootie Booties story In the story on Adria Cammeyer’s Original Cootie Booties that ran last week, the price of the package of Original Cootie Bootie and the Original Cootie Bootie web site address were incorrect. The correct web site is www.cootiebooties.net Original Cootie Booties are, essentially, a surgical glove for the feet to wear for travel and wherever you walk barefoot. The purple Booties are meant to ward off icky stuff such as bacterial and viral diseases such as MRSA as well as athlete’s foot, warts and more. The American Academy of Dermatology and other medical organizations discourage walking barefoot through public places. Original Cootie Booties are on sale in Hudson locations at the San Diego International Airport such as Hudson News, Lindbergh Field News and Tech on the Go, with the hope to expand to more airports around the country. The Booties are also now sold at Madison Luggage in Flower Hill Promenade in Del Mar.

BLATT continued from page 4 where there is a more bi-partisan view on a topic and ensuring the majority is well represented is often a challenge for all involved. 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the RSF School board? My experience as an engineer and technical leader in the electronics industry has allowed me the opportunity to view problems in a variety of different ways. This type of thinking will prove to be invaluable when looking deep into the variety of challenges that confront the school board. In addition, my leadership experience as a Commanding Officer in the Navy has allowed me the opportunity to bring together a diverse group of talented individuals and align them towards a common goal. I strongly believe that the combination of these experiences will prove themselves to be of great use to the school board and, ultimately, the students in the school.

for success. Some of the things we have done toward this goal and will continue to do are as follows: •Mobile Device Education Technology Rollout: Upgrade and rollout of 1:1 mobile devices in the middle school and 50 percent deployment in K-4, 100 percent deployment in grades 5-8 . •Creation of the Performing Arts Center in 2010, along with an awardwinning music education program, known as MUSE (Mastering Unique Self Expression), which includes two levels of Band Instrument instruction, a two-tier Strings Program, two Concert Choirs, the creation of the a new Drama Program, and a new Technical Theatre Program.

Curriculum: I will continue to take a cautious, thoughtful, and engaged approach. Common Core is the California baseline. We exceed this baseline on an instructional basis every day, setting our own higher and more rigorous standards. I will continue to support further augmentation and regular review of our curriculum. Continue to fund and support the many initiatives that extend our children’s education beyond pure academics in the areas of Sports, Music, Art, Drama, Robotics, Science,Oceanography, Entrepreneurship and Digital Citizenship to name a few.

Do you agree with the way the RSF School board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? In the past few years we have been committed to providing transparency and have worked hard to schedule our meetings at times when the public can attend. Also, in order to make ourselves more available for all our parents and constituents we have reached out to the community via surveys, coffees and additional meetings as needed. As a publicly elected board the Rancho Santa Fe School board is subject to State laws regarding all aspects of its operation and we are legally required to abide by all those rules as well the Brown act, and we do our best to be as inclusive as possible within that legal framework.

If not, what changes do you think need to be made? I believe that the school board operates efficiently and openly, seeking input and involvement from the community. We not only meet the complex legal obligations, but go beyond to encourage growth and innovation within its purview. The district, in coordination with the RSF Education Foundation, has inspired extraordinary parent and community involvement. We should continue to enhance those outreach programs, incorporating innovative educational opportunities and capitalizing on the unique parent population. 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the RSF School board? My specific skills in finance, accounting, and technology are ideal to help the district continue to manage and innovate in this climate. My process-oriented background allows me to 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the RSF School board? I have worked closely with this board and I believe that this experience will enable me to make a significant contribution to the education of our students in the next four years. I believe strongly in the tradition of community service and in the ability of education to advance the lives of young people. Education was critical for me to accomplish my goals as a technologist (I worked at Yahoo! Inc. during the company’s early years), and as a professional musician (I sing opera). It is that background in technology and music that makes me believe I am uniquely qualified to help the district achieve our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) goals. I am deeply committed to the continued success of our school and our students, and that is why I feel that if re-elected I will continue to bring a combination of continuity, conservative fiscal stewardship and positive energy to the board.

tial fire fuel in dense roadside landscaping and in the many open space areas throughout the Covenant. The RSFFPD and the RSF Association have worked closely to accomplish a fire-safe community and will continue to work hard toward this common goal.” After increased inspections throughout the district, property owners with diseased trees on their land will be notified via mail that the afflicted trees should be removed. Also, property owners with trees that have debris such as peeling bark or dead limbs hanging from them will receive a notice to clean them up, thereby reducing the fire hazard. The district will first seek to address diseased trees that are close to structures and roads, and then, where needed, move on to trees further away. Resources such as potential tree removal companies and replacement tree suggestions will be offered. Many homeowners within the Fire District have already received notice and begun the tree removal process. Herb and Joan Holmquist recently removed more than 200 diseased trees from their 4-acre property. “We had started removing some of the trees on our property already,” said Herb Holmquist. “The letter helped us realize just how much needed to be done. We ended up having to take out a lot of trees, but some we were able to just cut the top off for now with thehope that it will grow back healthy. We’re also planning

on adding a few new trees.” Added Joan Holmquist, “We still have a bit more clean-up to do, but we are both very happy we did this. It looks better and we feel safer.” Not every property requires the removal of so many trees, however. Charles Richmond, who lives on La Glorieta, also received a notice to abate the hazards on his property. He scheduled an appointment with Lenehan, who walked the 2.87-acre property with him to help identify which trees should be removed. Richmond has since removed six trees and plans to remove seven or eight more. He will be replacing them with a different species of tree. “I hate to see them go, but it’s necessary,” Richmond said. “The dead trees do not look good, and they’re a fire hazard.

Guest commentary

Eight things people should consider during Medicare open enrollment BY DR. DAN DWORSKY SCRIPPS CLINIC If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible for Medicare, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably been inundated with mail from health insurance companies describing their benefits and urging you to sign up for coverage. For many people, the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to mention confusing. Need help making sense of it all? Here are eight things you can do to better understand your options and make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting the most from your health plan benefits before you make any decisions. 1. Decide whether to keep or change your existing coverage before Dec. 7. Open enrollment for Medicare runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to decide whether or not you want to change your coverage before the December deadline. If you are happy with the plan you have now, you may not want to do anything different. If your medical or prescription drug needs have changed, or you want a new physician or hospital network, you may decide to adjust your coverage level or switch to another Medicare plan. 2. Consider your individual needs and make sure your plan covers them at a cost you can afford. Think about the type of medical services that you need, both primary and specialty care, and which physicians and hospitals you prefer for that care. Also consider which prescription medications you need. Make a list with two columns. In the first column, list what your coverage must include, such as specific services or physicians. In the second, list what you would like to have, but are willing to give up if necessary. 3. Review your existing health and drug benefits, and pay attention to any changes announced for the coming year. In October, your insurance provider will send information to let you know what changes, if any, will be made to your Medicare coverage starting in 2015. Review these carefully to ensure that the providers, services and medications you need are covered and at what cost. Check your premiums, coinsurance, co-payments, deductible and outof-pocket limits. Would another plan better suit your needs in 2015? 4. Ask questions and make sure you understand all of your options. Medicare coverages can be very confusing. For example, do you know the difference between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplemental Insurance (Medigap)? There are no silly questions when it comes to your health, so ask for more information about anything that is unclear. Besides your agent of record, a number of sources are available to help you on-

line. Scripps will be holding several free presentations to explain your options, answer questions and provide information (see dates and times below). 5. Check with your employer or union before making changes. If you still receive benefits through your employer or union, check with your planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefits administrator before making any changes to your coverage. Otherwise, you could lose coverage for yourself and your dependents. 6. Remember key dates and the differences between various enrollment periods. There are different dates for Medicare Fall Open Enrollment, disenrolling from the Medicare Advantage Plan and joining Original Medicare. Be sure you understand which dates apply to you so that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss important deadlines. 7. Take advantage of the benefits your plan offers. Your Medicare coverage offers more than just sick care. Review your benefits and take advantage of wellness and preventive services such as an annual exam, weight and blood pressure check, flu shots and more. 8. Choose the plan that best meets your needs. Once you have evaluated all of your choices, choose the Medicare plan that is the best fit for you and complete the enrollment process. You may be able to sign up in person with your agent, through the mail, over the phone or online. Be sure to complete any changes between Oct. 15 and Dec. 7, 2014. Join Scripps for a free presentation to help you understand your Medicare options. After the presentation, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an opportunity to talk with a variety of Medicare experts who can help you make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enrolled in the plan that best meets your unique needs.

Seany Foundation builds hope, friendships at camps for kids with cancer •Gala to be held Oct. 18 in RSF

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING Amy and Mitchell Robins lived every parent’s worst nightmare when they watched their son, Sean, wage a war against cancer, fighting it with everything he had. When he died at age 22 in 2006, the local couple found a way for Sean’s legacy to live on and continue to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer. Over the past seven years, they have raised more than $2 million, and this year ran Seany’s Camp Reach for the Sky, a free summer camp for children with cancer and their siblings once run by the American Cancer Society. With the Seany Foundation taking over the camps from ACS this year, 500 children in Southern California were able to have life-changing camp experiences this summer. Camp Reach for the Sky is a safe, fun place where they can escape from the stress of cancer and connect with other kids who understand what they’re going through. The Robinses were honored Sept. 17 at the Center for Wealth and Legacy’s Inspiration Awards at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine. They were just two of several philanthropic individuals honored for their positive impacts on the community. “To me, we do what we need to do. I don’t need to be thanked,” said Amy. “We do it because we want to do it, for the right reasons. When my son was sick all those years, people would say, ‘You’re so brave, you’re such a hero.’ I wasn’t a hero, and I wasn’t brave. I was just doing what anyone else would have to do in that same situation. Child cancer is much more common than people want to believe, and we don’t know why it happens — it’s random. “We think about him every single day of our lives. (The foundation) helps the emptiness just a little bit.” Added Mitchell, “Sean is behind everything we do.” Neither Amy nor Mitchell takes a salary from the foundation — Mitchell works as a CPA and Amy as a dental hygienist — but seven days a week, they are working for Seany. Sean was the Robinses’ middle child, an athletic 16-year-

Afghan Whigs, reunited after 16 years, to perform at Belly Up BY ROB LEDONNE It’s been 16 years since the famed alternative rock act The Afghan Whigs released new music, but the band is back in a big way with a brand-new album, “Do to the Beast,” and a nationwide tour that finds itself at Solana Beach’s Belly Up Tavern on Oct. 24. “How long does that feel like? I can’t really put it into words,” said the group’s frontman, Greg Dulli, from his Los Angelesarea home, who’s been relishing the past year. “I enjoy all of the parts of putting out a new album; it’s impossible to choose just one. The creativity of the entire process is appealing to me.” Since the release of their first EP in 1988, The Afghan Whigs have carved out a place for themselves in the annals of rock history with an array of successful albums and singles including “66” and “Rebirth of Cool.” The band was an indie darling throughout the late ’80s and early ’90s, until their album “Gentlemen” went mainstream. It spawned a variety of hit singles that received regular airplay on MTV and was released 21 years ago this month. (To celebrate, a deluxe anniversary edition of “Gentlemen” is set for release Oct. 27). “I’m still not sure what it’s like to have 21 years pass,” Dulli explained. “Time is always passing, and it’s passing now. I remember the making of that record and the traveling that went into it, since most of it was written on the road. In that respect, it feels like yesterday.” Since then, the Whigs became legendary in music circles for being influential on a

host of bands that followed, including The National, Interpol, and My Chemical Romance. That’s largely thanks to the handiwork of Dulli, who wrote and produced much of the Whigs’ catalog, and explained his deceivingly simple process as “coming up with some music you like and putting a melody over it.” Despite all of their rock success and notoriety, the Whigs disbanded in 2001. By all accounts it was an amicable split, and was spurred by the fact that members of the band found themselves living all over the country. (The Whigs first started in Cincinnati; today band members live in New York, New Orleans, and Los Angeles.) “I did an acoustic tour in 2010 and I was playing some Afghan Whigs songs that I had not played in many years,” said Dulli of the impetus for the reunion. “The bass player for the Whigs, John Curley, joined me for some of the shows, and that was the first time in about 10 years we traveled together. That was the lead-up to it, and it just felt very normal.” While Dulli has been active in music during the Whigs’ long break (including singing for a new band, The Twilight Singers, and taking part in various producing gigs), the music industry has changed a great deal since the Whigs’ heyday. “I kept on going after the Whigs split; I was not frozen in time,” Dulli said. “The recording industry is nothing more than a microcosm of life itself. Change happens, and you adapt or die, it’s the law of the jungle. What was so great about the industry 20 years ago anyway? There have always been problems and great things.”

The Afghan Whigs play at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on Oct. 24. PHOTO BY PIPER FERGUSON

Dulli still isn’t sure whether this tour or the new album will be the start of something new for the Whigs or a one-time-only thing. For now, he’s looking forward to continuing the band’s reunion tour and performing at the Belly Up — a long way, indeed, from the band’s humble beginnings back in Cincinnati. Said Dulli, “My feelings for Southern California have always been warm and fuzzy.” Doors open at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 24 for The Afghan Whigs concert, which starts at 9 p.m. For information, visit www.bellyup.com or www.theafghanwhigs.com.

Volunteers helped the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy select donated school supplies, clothing, shoes, back packs, hygiene products and other items.

Back row: Heidi Hollen, Carole Markstein, Jodie Quintal, Gayle Valentino, Stephanie Moskowitz, Dale Sodergren, Lisa Hill, Julie Herrick, Ellie Cunningham and Kim Wright.

Friends of San Pasqual Academy welcome foster students back to school with ‘shopping spree’ For most teenagers, the beginning of another school year marks the end of summer and is not a day many look forward to with eagerness. Members of Friends of San Pasqual Academy made the start of school a little more fun for the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy with their “Back to School” event, held on the campus of San Pasqual Academy. According to Teri Summerhays, Friends board member, “The students call this day ‘Shop ’Til You Drop Day,’ since many items such as school supplies, backpacks, shoes, Tshirts, socks, hygiene items, clothing and more have been collected and donated to our foster students by numerous, caring individuals. “These foster teens look forward to this event and are in awe of what everyone has provided for them. They greatly appreciate not just the ‘shopping selection process,’ but the presence of the wonderful volunteers that make this event happen.” Upon entering the auditorium, each student was greeted by Heidi Hollen and given a shopping bag. Road Runner Sports, for the eighth consecutive year, donated 150 pairs of brand-new athletic shoes, through Catherine Gotfredson. The students enjoyed picking out quality shoes that were selected by Michael and Fiona Gotfredson, owners of Road Runner Sports. This event was a wonderful experience for the volunteers and the foster students, and the students loved “shopping” for their school supplies and selecting their clothes. Thank you to the wonderful volunteers, who included Carole Markstein, Kris Charton, Andrea Reynolds, Heidi Hollen, Ellie Cunningham, Dagmar Helgager, Julie Herrick, Teri Summerhays, Vanessa Snodgrass, Jodie Quintal, Stephanie Moskowitz, Dale Sodergren, Lisa Hill, Gayle Valentino, Kim Wright, Debby Syverson, Joan Scott and National Charity League members. Staff members from Rancho Santa Fe Insurance attended and even closed their office early to help with this event. The students greatly appreciated these individuals taking the time to help them “shop.” The relationships that have been developed between the foster teens and the volunteers is one of respect and caring. Thank you to the many supporters of Friends of San Pasqual Academy, who have created these unique, memorable experiences. Dagmar Helgager, Friends board member, said, “We want to thank the many wonderful individuals, Road Runner Sports, National Charity League members, National Honors Society of Torrey Pines High School and Solana Santa Fe School for making this event so successful and memorable for all our foster teens. These kids, for the most part, do not have anyone purchasing school supplies or clothing items for them to begin the school year. We do this for our own children and it is great to see so many caring people do this same thing for these wonderful foster teens.” According to Carole Markstein, “It was overwhelming to see the quantity of items donated out of kindness and generosity to students of San Pasqual Academy. These foster teens are always so amazed at the caring and support they receive from this community and want to convey their sincere feeling of gratitude and say ‘thank you’ for caring so much about them. They really do feel our support and appreciate the time and effort of all our volunteers. We certainly made this school year start off with an event they will remember. Thank you for making this such a success!” Friends of San Pasqual Academy is a nonprofit 501(c)3 that supports the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Propane Delivery Service delivers to homes, companies, businesses and more BY DIANE Y. WELCH Jim Williams is a California native, born and raised in La Mesa. His son attended the same elementary school that he attended, and remarkably, they had the same teacher. So it’s not surprising that Williams’ strong links to community, and his own family continuity, led him to start a business where his East County roots had long ago taken hold. For more than 20 years, Williams has been in the propane business and has learned everything there is to learn about propane, he said. After being employed by a major national propane company, he learned how to respect and handle this volatile gas by taking classes in a special school program. However, in Southern California there were few opportunities to grow and expand his territory, so he took it upon himself to do just that. “Working for the big national propane companies, I learned about customer service,” said Williams with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. “I knew if I started my own company, I would do things much differently.” From Williams’ point of view, customer service fell far short of what he deemed an acceptable level, and he was determined to surpass that standard. So he made a stand, left the corporate world of propane and started his own family-run business in 2000. Propane Delivery Service was founded with its headquarters on the border of El Cajon and Alpine. Williams’ sister, Tomi McCloskey, was hired to work in the office and now runs operations with the close company of two mascot dogs, Archie and Bailey, Boston terriers who constantly “hang out in the office,” said Williams. There are five delivery trucks in the fleet and they travel the length and breadth of San Diego County, from Rancho Santa Fe to the Mexican border and inland to East County. The high-quality propane is delivered from Los Angeles refineries and is stored in PDS storage tanks in Alpine. PDS is one of San Diego County’s largest family-owned

free estimates along with unmatched propane knowledge, which has resulted in its countywide success. The drivers are handpicked by Williams, and are friendly and very knowledgeable, he said. The company offers regular specials for its customers that change from time to time, with the most recent discounts posted on its website. Propane Delivery Servicedelivers to homes, companies, hotels and restaurants and with its competitive pricing is in high demand.

Concert by tenor Varela at Village Church delivers variety of styles BY DR. JACK WHEATON RETIRED ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR OF JAZZ STUDIES, USC At the Community Concert at the Village Church held Sept. 19, we expected and did hear a great tenor, Fernando Varela, accompanied by piano and violin; however, a new musical approach was included. Attached to the piano was a small musical device duplicating orchestral instruments. The violinist had a smaller attachment that created the sounds of a full string section. What a great innovation! The audience expected a traditional program of classical music with this critically acclaimed tenor. However, they were treated to a wide variety of music — from country favorites of Roy Orbison to jazz and pop, the likes of Tom Jones, Lionel Richie, Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, and others. Those expecting classical were not disappointed. We listened to a stunningly beautiful “Pie Jesu,” a great and surprising opening, and so fitting for this concert being performed in the beautiful sanctuary of

the Village Church. At the opposite end of the spectrum, we heard the lively “Orange Blossom Special,” by the gifted violinist. Then, in the more classical vein, Varela sang the operatic aria from “Les Miserables,” “Home” — a haunting theme; next, “The Prayer,” and a classical ballad from “Phantom of the Opera,” “Music of the Night” — all of which were done superbly. A bonus was the pianist’s rendition of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” a piece I am intimately attached to, having trained the 84 pianists at the Opening Ceremony of the 1984 Olympics. The rendition was masterful. One of the finest pieces of the program was the “Las Vegas Medley,” enhanced by colorful, visual themes on two large video screens, with many old favorites, like “It Had to Be You,” “You Make Me Feel So Young,” and the Tom Jones song, “Delilah.” After a standing ovation, the encore appropriately was Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America.” At the chorus, unprompted, the entire audience stood to sing along with this moving song about our country.

7607 La Jolla Blvd., La Jolla, CA 92037 Founded in 1909 and afďŹ liated with the Episcopal Church, The Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School is an independent, coeducational college preparatory day school for students in gradess 6-12.

Best-selling authors, screenwriters, publishers, agents, publicists, platform builders, and a host of others will gather at the Hyatt Regency, La Jolla, from Oct. 24-26 for three days of lectures and workshops geared to helping aspiring writers succeed. Registration will be capped at 200. People are reading, writers are writing, and the publishing industry is growing. But aspiring writers need the tools with which to succeed. And the La Jolla Writers Conference provides them. In the 21st century, the publishing industry has undergone a sea of change. Selfpublishing has democratized the industry, growing the number of books published each year from around 100,000 to close to a million, even as many of the major publishing houses have consolidated or folded. Sales in bookstores have given way to online book sales. And most young people now consume books on their electronic devices or in audio format, with many of their se-

niors making the same transitions. Now that anyone can publish, the marketplace is flooded with reading choices. So while it has become easier to publish, actual success has become more elusive. Among agents, publishers, distributors, and buyers for stores who decide which books will actually hit the shelves, the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platform is discussed with the same importance as the quality of the work. The requirements of the art and craft of writing have remained constant. But knowledge of the business of writing has become pivotal to an authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. From what to look for in a contract to choosing the best method of publication to who to engage for assistance with everything from editing to design to platform building to representation, writers must make choices that will determine how well they and their books fare in an ever-expanding marketplace.

Nonprofit aims to connect those with breast cancer to neighborhood help BY SAMANTHA TATRO A new start-up charity in San Diego takes the “love thy neighbor” mantra to heart. The Shades of Pink Foundation, which recently received its nonprofit status, lets San Diego residents donate to temporarily provide aid to local women struggling with financial hardship as a result of a breast cancer diagnosis — giving direct and quick support to the brave women battling cancer around them. The foundation gives out monetary grants to eligible women in the Greater San Diego Area. At an event Sept. 26, the Wear Pink Cocktail Party in Encinitas, philanthropists and business leaders garnered $5,525 for the fledgling foundation. The foundation has given out five grants so far. Vembra Holnagel, a co-founding board member who corresponds directly with the grant recipients, said one particular story stood out. A 58-year-old music teacher struggling with breast cancer had to have some of her lymph nodes removed and as a result was diagnosed with lymphedema, a condition that made her arm swell. She needed compression gloves, but her insurance would not cover it. Enter Shades of Pink, which gave her a grant to cover the cost of the gloves. “She just wrote how excited she was to get those, and she was going to be able to go swimming again and get into her swimsuit, and she felt pretty,” Holnagel said, adding that the woman’s income had been reduced because of her battle with cancer. “She was just such an amazing person.”

The foundation officially launched last year but received its nonprofit status in July 2014. It then promptly began handing out grants to eligible and needy women whose cases were like that of the music teacher. The charity was co-founded by Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters Christina Fulcher and Kianne Holnagel, who invited several other women to join them. Bridget Garwitz, who came on board in the early planning stages and officially joined this year, said what drew her to the charity was how local the grants were. “I think that research and finding cures are very worthy causes,” Garwitz said. “However, I like that our cause is geared toward individuals. These are people who are in the thick of their illness and are suffering, and there’s a lot of implications of having cancer that don’t involve just physical limitations.” Those limitations include, for example, paying for child care, groceries, and various home bills that allow women to keep their lives going. Holnagel said the charity provides more direct help to local women in need. When people donate to larger organizations, their dollars don’t necessarily have a local impact. “Our dollars stay right in our local community. We are making a difference in women’s lives right now, right here,” Holnagel said. “When someone donates to our foundation, that money is used to directly help a woman going through cancer today, who is having troubles today, not back to a national organization who sends it to local chapters.” To donate to Shades of Pink, visit www. shadesofpinkfoundationca.org/donate/

Santa Fe Christian student presents poster at Chicago medical conference Santa Fe Christian junior Jacquelyn Askew presented her research abstract and scientific poster on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Undiagnosed Celiac Disease Linked to Unexplained Infertility,â&#x20AC;? at the 2014 Oncofertility Consortium International Conference held at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago last week. The conference hosted physicians, researchers, survivors and advocates from 10 different countries to share research advances. This was the fifth year that students who completed Jacquelyn Askew presented her research and poster at exemplary posters as part of the Oncofertility Consortium International Conference the Summer Oncofertility in Chicago recently. Academy participation were invited to attend the annual consortium. Oncofertility is the science of preserving the fertility of cancer patients as they undergo treatment. The UC San Diego Science Academy was the sole representative of high-school and college-age girls to present among researchers from around the world. These students were brought alongside professionals from this specialty to expand their knowledge and share their research to open new areas for future study. Professionals from around the world collaborated for the purpose of ensuring reproductive health for cancer survivors whose disease or treatment may impair fertility. Since the San Diego Oncofertility Science Academy began in 2008, 92 young women have graduated from the program. They are now attending such prestigious institutions as UC San Diego, UCLA, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, Brown and Notre Dame. Many alumnae are still finishing high school, but at least 41 graduates are now pursuing science majors in college, and one graduate is starting her second year of medical school. For the 2014 Oncofertility Summer Academy, 64 students applied from 28 different schools across San Diego County. A team of volunteer scientists and educators reviewed the applications and selected 16 girls (11th and 12th grade in the 2014-2015 school year) from

Connection to community brings Pacifica Del Mar to 25th anniversary BY KRISTINA HOUCK While its seasonal menus have changed, Pacifica Del Mar has remained a permanent fixture in the Del Mar community for a quarter-century. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this month, the seafood restaurant opened in 1989 atop Del Mar Plaza. “Not too many restaurants make it to 25 years,” said owner Kipp Downing. “The restaurant business is trendy and ever-changing. Most times, if you make it 10 Top: Views of the ocean make dining at Pacifica Del Mar years, you’ve had a long run. a special occasion. Below: The bar area was part of an To make it 25 years, it helps expansion about three years ago. COURTESY PHOTOS to have an ocean view and be in a town like Del Mar.” Located at 1555 Camino Del Mar in the Village of Del Mar, Pacifica Del Mar was one of the Del Mar Plaza’s first tenants. The then-6,000-squarefoot restaurant started out with a Pacific Rim-style menu created by original chef Neil Stuart. Diners can still sample many of Stuart’s original dishes, including the Japanese clam chowder, mustard catfish, sugar-spiced salmon and takoshimi. “They’re bulletproof items,” Downing said. “People still love them today, like they loved them 25 years ago.” But to keep things fresh, Pacifica Del Mar has evolved over the years. While several classic dishes stay on the menu, longtime Executive Chef Chris Idso changes the menu seasonally. Now 7,500 square feet, Pacifica Del Mar has undergone five major renovations since it opened, the latest about three years ago when the restaurant added 500 square feet and expanded its bar and restrooms. The first major remodel took place in 1992, when Downing expanded the original bar, which had only 10 seats when the restaurant first opened. In 1998, almost a decade after opening, Pacifica Del Mar opened Breeze Café, a 2,500-square-foot casual, outdoor dining space below the restaurant on Del Mar Plaza’s midlevel. Pacifica Del Mar was also one of the first restaurants in San Diego to convert to a nonsmoking establishment in the early ’90s. Many said the transition was “risky,” Downing said, but revenue actually skyrocketed after he made the change. “It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made,” said Downing. Pacifica Del Mar was one of three San Diego restaurants that he and a former business partner opened in the 1980s. Downing grew up in Colorado and studied business administration and management at the University of Colorado at Boulder. After graduation, he relocated to California, where he worked for Victoria Station, a chain of railroad-themed steakhouses in the 1970s. In 1980, he ventured south, opening Café Pacifica with his business partner in Old Town. Four years later, the pair opened Pacifica Grill in downtown San Diego. Pacifica Grill closed a decade later in 1994, and Café Pacifica lasted more than 20 years, closing in 2004. Living in Mission Hills and wanting to move to North County, Downing looked at various locations for Pacifica Del Mar, including the Lumberyard Shopping Center in Encinitas, but ultimately decided on the Del Mar Plaza. “The Plaza, at the time, was groundbreaking on construction, along with L’Auberge across the street,” recalled Downing, who now lives in Carmel Valley. Although the look and menu of Pacifica Del Mar has changed over the years, the restaurant’s traditions keep the customers coming back, he said. In addition to keeping several favorites on the menu, the restaurant has retained a number of familiar faces. Six servers have been on staff for 20 or more years, including one person since day one, Downing said. Two of the managers started about 20 years ago as busboys. “When you’re trying to have continuity with guests and community, it’s good to have people that stick around — besides just me,” he said. To celebrate its 25-year history, Pacifica Del Mar recently introduced a three-course tasting menu. From old classics to new favorites, the tasting menu highlights some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes for $25, and will rotate nightly through the end of the year. In addition, a few hundred friends, family and patrons were expected to celebrate the occasion at a private party Oct. 7 at the restaurant.

‘Comedy Warriors’ documentary shows Hullabaloo Band to perform live Oct. 18 at Del Mar Pines School K-1 open house how comedy can heal battle wounds •Families with young children encouraged to attend the event

Tickets are on sale now for “Comedy Warriors — Healing Through Humor,” an uplifting film that shows there’s another perspective from which to view life’s difficulties, and that is — humor. The film will be shown at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre, Jewish Community Center, Jacobs Family Campus, in La Jolla. The documentary shows what happens when five severely wounded Iraq/Afghanistan vets work with four top comedians and professional comedy writers to explore their personal experiences through humor. The result is 75 minutes of honest emotions and contagious laughter. Guiding the vets are comedy greats Lewis Black (“Back in Black”), Zach Galifianakis (“The Hangover” movies), B.J. Novak (“The Office”), and Bob Saget (“America’s Funniest Home Videos”). The military heroes-turned-comedians include San Diego’s Joe Kashnow, who lost his right leg in a roadside bomb explosion. Known for his deadpan delivery, he likes to joke that as a Jew he has a “leg up in the comedy world.” For tickets, call 858-362-1348, or visit www.sdjff.org. The film contains adult content and language. Visit www.comedywarriors.com.

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego Lights! Camera! Action! It’s no wonder that a great production needs the right light to set the tone. Your home theater is no exception. Outstanding indoor lighting is one of the best ways to distinguish your home theater, and thanks in part to a recent article at CE Pro, here are the best ways to create ambiance and accentuate your space with sensational lighting.

1. Temperature Did you know that lighting temperature can significantly alter the quality of your home theater? Lights should ideally be set at 6,500 Kelvin. When light temperature is too strong, it can lead to off-set colors. For example, certain temperatures can change the fidelity of the screen, setting hues offbalance. Dimmable LED lighting is the ideal choice for lighting your home theater. Click here to see some examples of how we’ve used light to create the perfect ambiance using just the right temperatures. 2. Lighting Automation It goes without saying that watching Jurassic Park is completely different than tuning into the 6 o’ clock news. Your lighting should reflect the mood appropriately and automation can set that dream into motion. For example, when you watch the news, your lighting can be programmed

to illuminate into a bright setting. On the other hand, when you’re ready to watch a movie, the lights can dim to perfect theater level. Automation makes lighting incredibly easy. 3. Zoned Lighting In many cases, it makes sense to zone lighting controls. Depending on how your room is set up, you’ll want to take into consideration which part of the room deserves the greatest amount of light versus the area of the room that ought to be dim. Create light installations on unique circuits to customize the look even further. We’ll help you map out a lighting plan that best suits your home theater. 4. Accentuate with Light We work with many San Diegans who want a custom home theater. Regardless of the style you choose, you’ll want to use light to accentuate the space. We can use lighting to draw attention to any facet of the room

– a tiered ceiling, awesome speakers, movie posters or architectural details. Wall sconces, overhead LED lighting and backlighting are all great ways to draw attention to various aspects of the room without detracting from the main show. 5. Themed Theaters You can do so much with proper lighting. From setting the tone to creating a theme, lighting can make or break the space. In one of our recent projects, we used light to theme a Star Wars home theater. Imagine this space without any light at all! It would have instantly fallen ﬂat. This project utilized automation, distributed audio and perfect lighting to create the perfect home theater theme. Get the right lighting in your home theater today.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - OCTOBER 9, 2014 - PAGE B25

SEANY continued from page B3 thing and causes pain. In Sean’s case, it was on his tailbone. Sean fought the cancer for seven years. He had an 11-month remission that overlapped his senior year of high school — he played in the all-city baseball game, was named the homecoming king, was accepted to Northwestern University and played Daddy Warbucks in the school production of “Annie.” “He was singing and dancing. Nobody was more surprised than us,” said Amy, who noted that his hair had finally grown back after his treatments, and he played the famously bald Warbucks character with hair. Heartbreakingly for the Robinses, after this “glorious” period, the cancer came back. Sean never got to go to Northwestern — his bags were packed but he relapsed, the cancer in his lungs. He postponed Northwestern for a year and tried to go off to school again, but the cancer returned, this time in his brain. The Robinses said the pain of bone cancer is “awful,” and Sean was in constant therapies — eight different kinds of radiation, nine different chemotherapy protocols. “He did everything and then more. He was just absolutely unwilling to call it quits, to give up. He wouldn’t sign a ‘do not resuscitate’ order. He was just not going to die,” Amy said. “When he did die, we were still in the mode to battle on with him, and naturally the foundation was it. This was our way of battling on.” In 2005, Sean had an idea about starting a foundation and calling it Seany, wanting to help kids like him to keep up the good fight. Sean spent a lot of time in bed and was always on his computer, researching his disease and connecting with young cancer patients around the world. He became frustrated that so many kids had cancer and nobody seemed to be doing anything about it. Funding is a challenge: 5 cents of every $1 of the federal cancer research budget goes to child cancer research, and 3 to 4 cents of every dollar donated to the American Cancer Society does. “He didn’t understand the injustice. All of these kids were suffering, and he thought, ‘Why don’t people know about this, and why don’t they care?’” Mitchell said. Mitchell said they held

off on starting the foundation that year because Sean was still battling so hard and they didn’t want him to be discouraged if they weren’t raising the kind of money he envisioned. If Sean could see now what the funds raised in his name have been able to do, he would surely be amazed. The foundation funded The Seany Room, a teen lounge at Rady Children’s Hospital; the Some of My Best Friends Are Bald glee club and performing arts program at Rady; the Art From the Heart showcase for children with cancer and their siblings; and the Rhythm of Hope music program at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and LAC+USC Medical Center. The foundation also continues to push research, funding a clinical trials associate at Rady. The clinical trials fit the idea of helping kids now and improving their quality of life. While much of the Seany Foundation’s money went to pediatric cancer research fellows at UC San Diego, the Robinses were advised by a UC San Diego researcher to do something more tangible to help kids with cancer now — to help them live the best life they can. About three weeks later, they heard that the American Cancer Society had notified child cancer patients that after 32 years, they were closing all 52 of their camps nationally. Mitchell felt like this was Seany giving them a little nudge, and they flew to Berkeley to meet with the ACS. “Within 20 minutes they loved us, and we loved the camps,” he said. The Seany Foundation was given six camps in Southern California, with ACS pledging to help support them for the next three years. This first summer was a huge, heartwarming success. “We visited every camp, and there was not a dry eye,” Mitchell said. “It was just inspiring.” The camps really do create lifetime friendships. Mitchell tells the story of one 12-year-old camper who was given four weeks to live — and wanted to spend one week at camp. “This week is way more than a week to these kids,” Amy said, noting that many former campers, cancer survivors, return as counselors. “Camp lasts all year. They love each other with a passion, and they’re given a huge support group.” Campers are given time to feel normal, be independent and make friends with

peers who are going through a similar battle. Counselor Sandi Ramos, a former camper, said her first time at camp she was a self-conscious middle-schooler who had lost her hair and had a terrible limp. “That year I met several campers who also had a limp, some who had less hair or even none at all. For the first time in a year from being diagnosed, I felt an overwhelming sense of belonging,” Sandi said. “The spirit of my late friends continues to live on through the camp. Each year I see the fighting spirit shine brightly.” Another camper, Hailey Johnson, said, “I am not embarrassed of my big scars or my thin hair or anything else that is related to my cancer. I am proud of them and I am proud to be here.” In one video on the Seany Foundation’s Facebook page, kidney cancer patient Hannah Higgins, 5, shows her calendar with the days crossed out until she gets to go to Seany’s Camp Reach for the Sky. “If you have cancer, don’t worry, because I am brave and you can be brave also,” she says on the video, which she asked her parents to record as a “commercial” for other child patients. Days later at camp, she was singing songs from “Frozen” with a fellow camper, swinging their arms and holding hands. The foundation now runs three kinds of Seany’s Camp Reach for the Sky, all completely free: a weeklong overnight camp for children with cancer, ages 8 to 18; a weeklong camp for siblings of cancer patients, ages 8 to 18; and a day camp for kids with cancer and their siblings, ages 4 through 10. “The goal in the next three years is to get up to 1,000 kids,” Mitchell said. Running the camps is a great deal of work — finding camp time, extensive background checks for all staff, finding staffers who truly care and take into account the incredibly special needs of their campers. “It’s definitely a lot of work, but it’s very rewarding,” said Mitchell. “I can’t think of a better legacy for Seany.” It costs about $570 per child to go to camp, and The Seany Foundation relies on four fundraisers: Seany’s Happy Camper 5K (Jan. 31, 2015), the Swinging for Seany golf tournament (June 22, 2015), the Barona Bash, and the foundation’s biggest event, its yearly gala. This year’s “Everything Is Possible Celebration” will be held Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Del Mar Country Club.

This year’s theme is, fittingly, “Camp,” and guests will enjoy a sit-down dinner, live and silent auctions, and entertainment. Everything raised from the gala goes directly toward making a wonderful time for children at camp. Yes, the recognition and awards are nice, but the Robinses do what they do because of that camp, because of those smiles on the children’s faces and the hope they are able to bring. And they do what they do for Seany so that there may one day be a cure. “Because nobody should go through what Sean went through,” Mitchell said.

El Camino bike shop seeks donations to help CRC program This year, the Community Resource Center expects to serve approximately 1,500 families at its 32nd annual Holiday Baskets event. While this event serves more than 3,000 children in need, there are typically only 300 bicycles available for distribution for these youth. To increase bicycle donations, El Camino Bike Shop, at 121 N. El Camino Real, is collecting gently used bikes from now to Nov. 30. Those who donate a bicycle receive a $25 gift card. “Our goal is to provide an additional 100 bikes this year to Holiday Baskets,” said Will Schellenger, owner of El Camino Bike Shop. “Bring your used bike by and we will get it to CRC.” Donated used bikes are refurbished by local volunteers and then distributed from Dec. 19-21 to youth enrolled in the Holiday Baskets program. More than 2,000 local volunteers and 200 groups and organizations help collect and sort food, blankets, outerwear, toys, bicycles, baby items, and much more for Holiday Baskets. The program is a free shopping experience in a warehouse-like setting and is the largest distribution of its kind in the county. “We could not continue our Holiday Baskets program without the help of such generous organizations like the El Camino Bike Shop,” said Paul Thompson, CEO of CRC. “The Community Resource Center owes a great debt of gratitude to El Camino Bike Shop for stepping forward to help provide more bikes to our families in need for the upcoming holiday season.
