RSF Eagles flag football team ends undefeated season with Championship BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Eagles flag football team dominated the South Coast Middle School League this year. The R. Roger Rowe School squad of 19 seventh and eighth grade boys capped a perfect, undefeated season with a 32-14 championship victory over Santa Fe Christian on Nov. 7. In addition to a pizza party, the team members celebrated their victory with a surprise ice-water dousing of their coach while all the parents in the stands on their home field blew kazoos. R. Roger Rowe School Athletic Director Steve Rossier said the hardware is coming —they have to get something to commemorate the undefeated year, which hasn’t happened in a long time for RSF. The boys went 14-0 for the season, led by longtime coaches Dave Warner and

Eighth grade running back Sully O’Brien said they were strict at times but were “the best coaches they could’ve had” to get their talented team to their championship. “I think we had a lot of depth, we didn’t have a lot of weak players,” said Sully, who is described by teammates as an “offensive powerhouse” pouring in more

rushing touchdowns than they were able to keep track of. Another key to the team’s success was its “insane” defense and the players’ experience,

Del Mar Fairgrounds wetlands restoration, fall race meet approved by Coastal Commission BY JOE TASH The Del Mar Fairgrounds received permission from the California Coastal Commission on Nov. 13 to begin holding a fall race meet in 2014, and to restore a dirt parking lot on the south side of its property into a natural wetlands habitat. As part of its decision, the panel voted to allow the fairgrounds to continue using its entire east overflow lot for parking and other activities, such as pumpkin and Christmas tree sales, for the next 10 years. Environmental groups, led by county Supervisor Dave Roberts and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, pressed the commission to order the fairgrounds to preserve a portion of the east lot as well as the entire south lot.

Officials with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the state-owned fairgrounds, said they could not afford to lose both the 1,200 parking spaces in the south lot, and another 1,500 spaces in the east lot. The commission voted 7-3 to allow the continued use of the east lot, but required the fairgrounds to reapply for its permit in 10 years, and also to conduct two parking studies to look at alternative traffic and parking options. “I think it was a fair compromise and seven out of 10 commissioners felt likewise,” said Fred Schenk, president of the 22nd DAA board. “It’s a balanced approach.” River park officials, however, wanted the com-

BY JOE TASH A prominent Rancho Santa Fe psychologist, who has appeared as a mental health expert on television and radio shows and written newspaper columns, faces possible revocation of his license due to alleged misconduct. On Sept. 9, the state Attorney General’s office filed a formal accusation against Dr. Keith D. Kanner on behalf of the California Board of Psychology. The accusation alleges that Kanner engaged in a sexual relationship with the mother of a juvenile patient, and also failed to properly document his treatment of the patient. Kanner “was grossly negligent in his care and treatment of patient S.H. and in the practice of his profession as a psycholo-

nine-page document filed by the Attorney General’s office, which is available on the Board of Psychology’s website. Through his attorney, Kanner has requested a hearing to contest the allegations, which is scheduled for October 2014. Until then, Kanner is allowed to continue to practice, said an official with the Board of Psychology, although his license expired on Oct. 31 and he had not renewed it as of Nov. 15. Neither Kanner nor his attorney, Keith E. Zwillinger of Solana Beach, responded to emails and voice messages from this newspaper seeking comment. The hearing to deter-

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

The Time to (Re)Plant is Now… When most people think of Rancho Santa Fe, they likely think of rolling hills, scenic vistas and, above all, trees, lots and lots of trees. Indeed, the area was initially planted as a tree farm by the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1800s. As a result, we find ourselves over 100 years later with much of the Ranch planted with a monoculture of Red Gum Eucalytpus as our big “skyline trees.” This is the horticultural equivalent of having all of your eggs in one basket. In the not-too-distant future, we are going to lose all these lovely mature trees, and with them, a significant amount of the character and beauty of our town. Sometime in the late 1990s, the Lerp Psyllid, a tiny insect native to Australia, also the home of the Eucalyptus, found its way to our shores and has been ravaging our trees ever since. These highly destructive bugs cause the Red Gum Eucalyptus to lose their leaves several times a year, gradually weakening and eventually killing the trees. One cannot help but notice this happening, sadly, all over town and especially in the western part of the Covenant. Entire sections of Linea del Cielo are now completely devoid of these mature “skyline trees.” All efforts at controlling this pest have failed. So instead of having a lovely tree canopy, crowned with graceful “skyline trees” framing our vistas in the areas where Red Gum Eucalyptus are prevalent, we have areas in which the forest is in severe decline. In addition to being an eyesore, these dying trees with all their leaf litter pose an extreme fire hazard. The time to replant is now! Our committee, CONE (the “Committee on the Natural Environment”), was formed under the umbrella of the RSF Association, by a concerned group of residents who, believing in the scenic character of Rancho Santa Fe, want to assist our neighbors (and the Association) in transitioning from the monoculture of dying eucalyptus to a more diverse, stable and water-wise landscape. A list has been assembled, available at (http://www.rsfassociation. org/pages/trees.html), of various trees and shrubs that we feel accomplish this goal. In addition, we are looking to possibly contract with a local nursery to grow many of the recommended trees and shrubs in order to make them readily and cheaply available to Association members. While some residents might balk at committing to something they may not immediately benefit from (trees do take time to grow), we cannot emphasize enough the importance of this effort to maintain the character and feel of the community. The suggested list, while not exhaustive, contains plants that will mature at varying rates and heights, helping homeowners achieve continuity in the ongoing enjoyment of their landscapes. Failing this effort, the future will see a lot of dead trees followed by…weeds? While the land will eventually revert to native shrubbery, the character of our community and subsequent value of our real estate will be negatively impacted for a long time into the future. We strongly urge all residents (particularly those in the most impacted areas in the western side the Ranch) to consider making this investment in their and our common “treescape” for now, and for the future. There is a Chinese Proverb that says: “The best time to

RSF Association and RSF Golf Club boards to hold planning retreat BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors will meet in a one-day planning retreat with the RSF Golf Club Board of Governors on Nov. 21 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. In the closed, private session meeting, the boards will discuss the results of the recent Club Mark survey, membership trends, take a “cold hard look” at the expense side and potential ways to increase revenues at the club. The main strategic implications from the Club Mark survey were that 29 percent of Rancho Santa Fe’s demographic is over 70 years old and in 10 years or less 61 percent will be over age 70; there is a decline in golf membership (from a peak of 680 it is now down to 512); and a decline in capture rate for new members. The boards plan to discuss the possibility of a fitness center or pool as both were popular in the survey: 58 percent of survey respondents said their experience at the club would be improved with a fitness center, 43 percent of respondents said they wanted spa facilities and 42 percent expressed a desire for a swim complex. On Dec. 13, the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club’s Green Committee will meet to review and discuss the complete Golf Course Master Plan. Once the plan is adopted by the RSF Golf Club’s Board of Governors, open meetings will be scheduled with Golf Club members to review the plan.

RSF Golf Club to hold tree lighting event Dec. 1 The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club will hold a festive tree lighting event on Sunday, Dec. 1, at 4:30 p.m. The event features live reindeer, cookies, s’mores, hot chocolate and holiday portraits by a professional photographer. The RSF Golf Club is located at 5827 Via de la Cumbre, Rancho Santa Fe; 858-756-1182.

R. Roger Rowe brother and sister win cross country titles BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe twins Elle and Finn Waters both took cross country titles at the recent South Coast Middle School League Championships. Their victories marked the first time that R. Roger Rowe School has had a boy and girl champion in the same year and it just so happens that they are in the same fleet-footed family. The championship races were held at Mission Bay on a 1.5-mile loop that had the runners hoofing on both grass and concrete. The two first place finishes were huge personal bests for the Waters duo — last year, as seventh graders, Elle finished fourth overall and Finn placed fifth. Finn was able to see his sister’s victory before his own race. “When she won I said to myself, ‘I better win too or it’s going to be an awkward family dinner,’” Finn said. “It was really fun when we both won, I didn’t think both of us would…Our

Courtesy photo whole family was there so it was really good to win it in front of them.” In addition to the individual victories, the Rowe boys cross country team also finished second overall in the league. Rowe eighth grader Jacob Aries also placed third at the championships, finishing a season in which he traded leads with Finn in a friendly rivalry. Rowe Athletic Director Steve Rossier said Coach Ricardo Rodrigues has done an exceptional job developing the cross country program over the past four years. “Ricardo is unbelievable, he’s also an athletic trainer and he really connects with the kids,” Rossier said. “Twenty-

Elle Waters, left, won the girls South Coast Middle School League Championships in cross country at Mission Bay recently, along with her twin brother. Courtesy photo five kids want to come out and run because of him.” Both Finn and Elle started running just last year as seventh graders and stuck with the sport when they realized their talent and speed. Finn showed his strength in running hills this year with late-race power surges. “I tend to sprint the last 100 yards and can beat people out,” Finn said. “Having extra energy and not getting fatigued has been helpful.” In the championships, Finn was in a leading pack of four runners when he made a break for it toward the end of the course.

“I sprinted more than I should have but it was worth it, they couldn’t catch me,” Finn said. “It was a pretty close finish.” While others may prefer to easily jog during a cross country race, Elle cannot. “I have to win,” the competitive Elle said. One of the most important things she’s learned from Coach Rodrigues is how to pace herself. Elle’s strategy is to stick with the race leader for the bulk of the race and then pick up the pace in the last 300 to 400 yards. She easily employed her strategy in the championship race, hanging with a Francis Parker runner and then kicking it into high gear for the finish. Elle also plays soccer and Finn plays basketball and surfs. Both twins say they hope to continue their running careers in high school, although Elle likes track and Finn prefers cross country.

Bach Collegium San Diego to present the Dublin version of Handel’s Messiah in RSF

RSF couple recognized as ‘Inspiring Power Couple’ in Huffington Post Harry Leibowitz and Kay Isaacson-Leibowitz of Rancho Sante Fe, the cofounders of World of Children® Award, are among America’s top five inspiring power couples, according to the Huffington Post. The couples were chosen for their commitment to “working together to create change.” The World of Children® Award co-founders were recognized alongside Bill and Melinda Gates. Harry and Kay, two retired senior executives turned philanthropists, were included because of their dedication to vulnerable children. They founded World of Children® Award 16 years ago to honor and elevate the work of extraordinary individuals serving vulnerable children worldwide. Bill and Melinda Gates, New York City Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray, Paul and Sonia Tudor Jones, as well as billionaire John Arnold as his wife, Laura, were also included on the list.

RSF’s Bill and Dana Knees launch unique custom fragrance company ‘Pastiche’ BY KAREN BILLING Entrepreneurial husband and wife team Bill and Dana Knees have used their business sense to launch a new business that specializes in scents. Their company, Pastiche, allows people to mix their own perfumes, sold at fun and festive privately-hosted parties and events. “I believe we’re bringing what most people think is an unaffordable luxury and we’re making it affordable,� Dana said. While Pastiche is not the first custom fragrance company, Dana believes they are the first social selling company. Launching officially two weeks ago, she has 20 designers on her team hosting parties in San Diego and selected markets around the country. “It makes me feel good because I can create jobs, I can help people supplement their income or do well enough to run their own business,� Knees said. “And I’m doing something that I really love and enjoy, I’m back in the fragrance world that I love.� Pastiche is getting a lot of attention during the holiday season. It was featured at Nativity School’s holiday boutique and was a part of the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center’s silver anniversary party held Nov. 16 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Pastiche will also be available at the “Sip, Shop and Style� event at 20 Lounge; the boutique nail bar in Cardiff on Nov. 21 from 5-8 p.m.; the Horizon Prep’s holiday boutique on Nov. 21 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe’s first annual holiday boutique to benefit the Rancho Coastal Humane Society on Dec. 10. from 4-7 p.m. Dana, a Kentucky native, had been in the fragrance industry for over 25 years in New York, working for Unilever (where she met Bill) and Coty Beauty in sales and market-

ing. She also had the opportunity to work at a perfume house, as the vice president of global development at Robertet. “It was my favorite job out of everything in the industry because that’s where I really learned to appreciate the art of perfumery,� said Dana of her work with master perfumers, of which there are only about 500 worldwide. “It was my dream job.� The Knees eventually moved to California to pursue another dream, to live and raise their children in California and for Bill to become the chief marking officer at Callaway Golf. Dana knew she wanted to continue working but want-

ed it to be something entrepreneurial. After Bill left Callaway they started exploring their options together. “I was ready for something new and different, something really fun. When we discovered the social selling model for Pastiche, we loved it because we’re both so social. The idea of doing parties for a living sounded pretty good,� Bill said. “Plus Dana and I are really compatible. She’s great at the creative and I’m great at the business side, so we work well together.� “We respect one another and there are no egos,� Dana said. It was Bill that came up with the name Pastiche, a French word for pulling individual pieces of art together to create a masterpiece. It was a perfect fit for Dana’s selected logo, a fleur-de-lis with a heart in the center. The Knees started test marketing their idea a year ago in Northern California, New York and Kentucky to see if it would work and the results were promising. Pastiche’s fragrance designers become independent consultants, buying a starter kit to go out and host parties. Pastiche pays 40 percent commission, which Dana said is very strong in the industry.

She was open and honest with us, both in terms of price and the work we should do to our home to make it more saleable. Her broad knowledge of the market gives credence to her opinions. Andrea is excellent at maintaining relationships with other professionals and it is these relationships that help facilitate a sale. She is a strategic thinker which is quite useful in the negotiation process. She represented us forcefully and carefully in the negotiations and we felt she was always looking out for our best interests. In addition, Andrea became a good friend--we couldn’t have completed our move without her.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Accomplished ‘Beautiful Ruins’ author prides himself on writing a wide range of novels BY JOE TASH Jess Walter’s latest novel arose from the nucleus of an imaginary tableau: it is 1962, and a beautiful actress steps out of a boat at the dock of a tiny village on Italy’s Cinque Terre coast as a young man watches, spellbound, from shore. The novel spans continents, decades and encompasses a number of different types of storytelling. Walter worked on the book, “Beautiful Ruins,� for 15 years before it was published in 2012 by HarperCollins. “As a writer, I like to challenge myself,� said Walter, who spoke Nov. 14 at the Grand Del Mar Resort before members of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society. By interweaving the different points of view of his characters and telling a story that covered 50 years, set in both Europe and America, he said, he hoped to provide “an uncommon read� for those who picked up the book. “Beautiful Ruins� is Walter’s sixth novel, and he has also published a work of non-fiction and, most recently, a collection of short stories. A former journalist who has lived his entire life in Spokane, Washington, Walter said, “With (non-fiction) you’re trying to write about what is, with fiction what could be. You try to research it into being.� The book’s settings are places he has visited, such as Italy’s coast, Edinburgh, Scotland, and England, Walter said. He especially loved the Cinque Terre coast, which he visited with his Italian-American wife. Walter’s research led him to a snake-bitten production of the film “Cleopatra,� which came in over budget to the point that it lost money, even though it became the highestgrossing film of 1963, the year it was released. One of the film’s stars, Richard Burton, also becomes a character in the novel, and the film production serves as a backdrop. Early in the novel, the young man who had watched the actress disembark from the boat in 1960s Italy, Pasquale Tursi, shows up in the present time — some 50 years after the fact — at a Hollywood studio. Meeting with a young film executive named Claire Silver, he describes that event as “L’attimo che dura per sempre,� or, “the moment that lasts forever.� Pasquale is on a quest to find the long-lost actress, Dee Moray. “And Claire feels a tug in her chest, some deeper shift, a

Northern Trust Wealth Strategist Gayle Allen, author Jess Walter, Literary Society President Candace Humber, Northern Trust SD County Region President John Ippolito Photo/McKenzie Images cracking of her hard-earned cynicism, of this anxious tension she’s been fighting,â€? writes Walter. “The actress’s name means nothing to her, but the old guy seems utterly changed by saying it aloud, as if he hadn’t said the name in years. Something about the name affects her, too — a crush of romantic recognition, those words, moment and forever — as if she can feel 50 years of longing in that one name‌â€? Walter began his writing career at age 19 when he landed a reporter job at his hometown newspaper, the Spokesman-Review in Spokane. His first book grew out of his reporting on the 1992 Ruby Ridge incident, a deadly standoff between federal government agents and the Weaver family, who lived in a cabin on an Idaho mountaintop. Walter was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his reporting on the story, and a film was later made out of his book. “That was the beginning of working on books, which I’d always dreamed of doing,â€? he said. The product of a working class family, Walter was 20 before he flew on an airplane. Since then, he has traveled extensively to research and promote his books. He prides himself on writing a variety of different types of novels, from mysteries to literary fiction to “Beautiful Ruins,â€? which he compared to a “pasticheâ€? or “quiltâ€? of different

elements that are woven together to form a coherent narrative. “I’m very hard to peg,â€? he said. One common thread in his novels and short stories, though, is the use of humor. “I like the intersection of humor with every other emotion,â€? such as sadness or pathos, he said. Rather than work on one project at a time, he said, he often juggles two or three, putting one down when he gets stuck and going on to another. He’s currently writing two novels and doesn’t know for sure which he’ll finish first. He also recently worked with a film director to craft a screenplay based on “Beautiful Ruins.â€? He’s hoping the film will be made, eventually, but, “Until you’re in the theater eating popcorn, you don’t really know.â€? Walter said he’s enjoying the current speaking tour he’s on, sponsored by financial services corporation Northern Trust. “To be in Las Vegas one day and La Jolla the next‌ growing up in a blue collar family, it was far more than I expected or thought would happen to me,â€? he said.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local singer and mom releases debut album BY KRISTINA HOUCK When her 7-year-old daughter refused to sing during the voice lessons she purchased at an auction, Anna Danes stepped in. The local resident didn’t realize she would discover her true passion. “I love the expression of singing,” Danes said. “The songs that I like are what I consider American songs and standards. It’s the classics that we all grew up with. “They’ve always been an inspiration. To be singing these songs now — it’s awesome! I just love jazz.” Now 9, her daughter opted for guitar lessons, while Danes recorded her first album. Family, friends and neighbors celebrated the release of “Longing” during a party Nov. 15 at Coast Highway Photography in Solana Beach. Owner and photographer Kevin Connors captured the photos for Danes’ album cover. “I’m excited!” said Danes at the party. “It’s such a community event. So many people who live and work here have helped me with this project. That’s why I wanted to keep it local.” Now available at local retailers such as Coast Highway Photography, the album will be released on iTunes and on Danes’ website Feb. 11, just

Anna Danes Photo/Jon Clark before Valentine’s Day. “It’s appropriate because it’s an album about love and longing for it,” Danes said. “Longing” features a dozen jazz covers, including “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” “Killing Me Softly” and “Sweet Valentine.” “The music, to me, is beautiful. The melodies are beautiful,” Danes said. “The sentiments are about wanting love and missing love. Everybody can relate to that.” Born in Gdansk, Poland, Danes was 10 years old when her family escaped Communist rule and vacationed in Sweden. After her father landed an engineer position in Ot-

tawa, the family settled in Canada. While adapting to a different culture and learning English and French, Danes also struggled with her parents’ divorce. She used music to escape and joined a Polish church choir in Ottawa. Until now, that was the only music experience she had. Danes earned her bachelor’s degree in ancient history and archaeology from the University of Ottawa and studied law at the University of Windsor. She practiced family and estate law as an attorney in Toronto prior to relocating to California 14 years ago. Since then, Danes became a business owner and mother. In addition to promoting her album, Danes said she would soon announce upcoming shows. Already looking forward to making more music, she is also considering recording a Christmas album. “Once you catch the bug, it’s hard to stop,” said Danes. “You just never know where life is going to take you. Sometimes difficulty comes in your life, but you’ve got to turn it around and create something positive. That’s what I did.” For more information about Danes or to preview her album, visit annadanes.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local veterans continue to give out sleeping bag sets to the homeless in downtown San Diego; Donations needed The “Compassion Campaign” of the San Diego Veterans For Peace begins its fourth year this fall, seeking donations from the public and purchasing and delivering new sleeping bag sets to the most needy of the 1,000 homeless sleeping on the streets and alleys in downtown San Diego. The campaign began in December 2010, when veteran chapter members learned from homeless vets on the street how a sleeping bag, waterproof stuff sack, and reusable poncho could change the lives of people on the street who had no protection from the elements at night. The chapter veterans set about to raise $3,000 and buy 100 sleeping bag sets. With the generous help of the public, over 1,800 sets have now been purchased and delivered quietly late at night by chapter veterans to the most needy homeless on the street. Many have nothing but their clothes and a piece of cardboard to sleep on.

The Rancho Santa Fe Big Band will perform Nov. 24 at the Village Church in RSF.

Having purchased its first sets locally, sets are now purchased for $33 each from the Coleman Company in Colorado, in quantities of 50, well below wholesale, with Coleman paying the freight and charging no sales tax. Bags are a great value San Diego Veterans for Peace thanks the Coleman Company. As the cold weather and occasional rain is now upon us, San Diego Veterans for Peace asks that you consider a donation to the “Compassion Campaign,” which may be made on- line with a credit card or by mail with a check. In either case, the organization’s treasurer, a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer, will immediately provide you with a beautiful card of thanks and receipt for your taxes, as San Diego Veterans for Peace is a 501-C-3 non-profit veterans educational organization. One-hundred percent of your donation buys gear. To donate by credit card: www.SDVFP.org and to donate by check, send your check to: SDVFP, 12932 Sunderland Street, Poway, CA 92064. For more information, please call 858-342-1964.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local couple celebrates National Adoption Month by officially adopting four children BY KRISTINA HOUCK Nov. 30 is a special day for the Bonadeo family. John and Betty Bonadeo will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary, and their oldest child will turn 10 years old. Dorothea, 9, proudly informs others that she was born on her parents’ wedding day. “We actually had a child that day, we just didn’t know her yet,” Betty Bonadeo said. The Bonadeo family celebrated National Adoption Month by finalizing the adoption of their four children Nov. 15, when nearly 20 families finalized adoptions during a ceremony at Juvenile Court in San Diego. The event was held a week before National Adoption Day, which takes place Nov. 23. “I can’t imagine life without them,” Betty Bonadeo said. John, 59, and Betty Bonadeo, 56, met later in life. Originally from Detroit, John Bonadeo owns a bathroom and kitchen remodeling business. Betty Bonadeo, a Chicago native, is a former Secret Service agent who retired 12 years ago. After working with fertility specialists and trying in vitro fertilization and surrogacy in their early years of marriage, the couple turned to adoption. They decided to relocate to California, which they found to be an “adoptionfriendly state,” and moved from Washington D.C. to this area in 2010. “When I was working, failure was impossible,” Betty Bonadeo said. “I always thought I could work hard enough or study hard enough and I could get whatever I wanted. “It was the first time I ever came up against a wall and couldn’t get what I wanted with hard work. It took a long time to move on.” Shortly after becoming licensed foster care parents, the couple received a call about four siblings from Alaska who needed a forever family. They welcomed Dorothea, Peter, David and Katherine — now 9, 8, 7 and 5 years old — into their home on March 24, 2012. Being new parents to four children was a little overwhelming at first, Betty Bonadeo admitted. During the first week, she and her husband planned a

John and Betty Bonadeo with their children: (l-r) Peter, Katherine, Dorothea and David. Courtesy photo family outing every day, taking their the children to the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Legoland and other kid-friendly destinations. “It was the wrong thing to do because after that first week, the kids said, ‘Where are we going now?’” recalled Betty as she laughed. After three months, the couple hired a summer nanny. An au pair from Germany now lives with the family. The bonding process also took time, especially for the

two older children as they had memories of their birth parents, she added. “When the bonding occurs, you know what day it is,” she said. “These little kids look at me in a loving way, and of course, I love them, too.” One of her most cherished memories was hearing her youngest tell her classmate, “That’s my real mom!” when he asked whether Betty Bonadeo was her grandmother. “It just touched my heart,” she said. Now, the couple is open to potentially welcome a fifth child. Their home could accommodate one more child and they plan to renew their foster care license. “The kids all want more kids. The girls want a girl and the boys want a boy,” said Betty Bonadeo, who noted the family sponsors a 15-year-old girl from Guatemala. “I already cook for seven people, so one more child doesn’t seem like a big deal.” For the most part, John Bonadeo said the adoption ceremony was “not going to change anything.” He was already their father, and his wife was already their mother. “It seems like we’ve had them forever,” Betty Bonadeo said. “I don’t remember not having them.” “The good lord provided,” John Bonadeo said. “I think what happened to us — we couldn’t have asked for anything better.” There are about 3,500 youth in the San Diego County foster care system. At any given time, more than 40 children are waiting for permanent adoptive placement, according to the county’s website. The couple encouraged others to become foster parents and choose adoption. “Don’t be afraid of doing it,” Betty Bonadeo said. “We want to tell everybody that we’re not perfect and they’re not perfect, but it’s OK. “Everybody can do this. It doesn’t matter how old you are.” For more information, visit http://www.sdcounty.ca. gov/hhsa/programs/cs/adoptions_program/

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update Superintendent Rick Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through the local media with a monthly update. Topics covered will include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on your property tax bill, technology and plans for a new middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch. BY RICK SCHMITT As many of you know, property tax statements were mailed in October with an incorrect tax rate for Proposition AA. Once the error was discovered, the District, the Treasurer-Tax Collector, and the Auditor-Controller of the County of San Diego all took responsibility to correct the mistake. The County mailed letters to every affected property owner and new statements Rick Schmitt were sent before the first payment was due. Anybody who paid the incorrect amount will be refunded the difference. The District would like to thank the Treasurer-Tax Collector and County for working so quickly to ensure that all taxpayers will only pay the correct amount. We have all promised to work together to make certain this will not happen again. We encourage anyone who may have questions about their tax bill to contact the Tax Collection customer service staff at (877) 829-4732. One of the major priorities of Proposition AA is the upgrading of network technology

infrastructure at each of our schools. Bond funds will be focused entirely on improving our network bandwidth, power, and wireless access so that any device a student or teacher wants to use on the network will have a fast and reliable connection. With more instructional content making its way online and traditional applications moving to browser-based cloud computing, it’s important that we build a network that will support any device accessing the curriculum, whether it is owned by the school or a student. Over the next three years, we will upgrade local networks, wireless access, servers, media centers, and classroom technology at all of our ten campuses. While we would love to accomplish all of this work over a summer, the upgrades must be methodically phased in at each campus and, in some instances, wait for other structural bond projects to happen before the technology improvements can be completed. To keep updated on our bond projects and schedules, refer back to the Prop AA website at www.sduhsd.net/PropAA. The San Dieguito Union High School District will open a new middle school in the Carmel Valley area in the fall of 2015. The as of yet unnamed school will be very near to Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) off of Village Center Loop and will be designed to initially accommodate approximately 500 students with the ability to expand to accommodate up to

Local doctor-turned-author launches fifth book in honor of girl who died of a brain tumor BY KRISTINA HOUCK Maddie James loved the ocean. One of her favorite places to visit was the Ocean Institute at Dana Point Harbor. Although the 5-year-old lost her battle to an inoperable brain tumor in 2011, her love of the ocean lives on through a new learning center at the institute and a recently published book. Written by Del Mar resident Dr. Udo Wahn and Pete Hodgson, “For the Sake of Hugh Manatee� follows Maddie and Hugh the manatee on a stand-up paddleboard adventure. During the story, the pair discovers some of the problems affecting the watershed that are adversely impacting the ocean and its life forms. “Every morning when she woke up she would say, ‘What adventure are we going on today?� said Maddie’s mother, Kajsa James. “Every day was an adventure. In my world, I think this is my way of continuing to go on adventures with her.� A portion of the book’s proceeds will support the Maddie James Seaside Learning Center, which opened in May at the Ocean Institute. Maddie’s parents co-founded the Maddie James Foundation to raise $1 million for the construction and ongoing operation of the $4 million center. The new center introduces students and other visitors to current and emerging issues in oceanography, environmental science and maritime history. More than 115,000 K-12 students and 8,000 teachers annually participate in the institute’s immersion-style programs. “With her love of the ocean, this little girl has had a seaside learning center named after her and a book written about her,� said Wahn, who has lived in Del Mar for 30 years. “Children now have an opportunity to have a handson experience with sea life at the center. With the book, I hope children will learn it’s important to be aware of what’s happening in places that are distant from the ocean. What’s happening can have a major impact on the ocean and on its sea life.� “For the Sake of Hugh Manatee� is Wahn’s fifth children’s book. A physician and avid surfer, the 59-year-old started writing when his then 2-year-old son Paolo Cabo be-

Dr. Udo Wahn Courtesy photos Maddie and Kajsa James gan taking swimming lessons at the Noonan Family Swim School in Del Mar. “I wanted to inspire him to learn about surfing, ocean safety and the aloha spirit,� Wahn said. “The aloha spirit really just encompasses sharing, being kind and living in harmony with the environment. That something’s that’s been really important to me and I wanted him to learn some of those lessons.� A story and a series of sketches for his son led to Wahn’s first book, “Cabo & Coral Go Surfing� in 2007. Since then, he has released

three more books about Cabo — who was inspired by his namesake, Wahn’s 9-year-old son — and Coral. A New York native and environmental activist, Wahn has surfed for more than 30 years along the shorelines of Australia, Costa Rica, southwestern France, Mexico and Hawaii. He has also served as a core volunteer for Surfrider Foundation since 1986. “I enjoy having children happy with my product, having parents happy, having teachers happy, and, hopefully, making a difference in the world and our environment,� Wahn said. Through social media, Wahn learned that GoPro photographer and videographer Hodgson had an idea for a children’s book and needed a children’s book author. After selecting Wahn, the pair collaborated on “For the Sake of

Hugh Manatee,� along with Kajsa James and illustrator Ron Croci. “I think any children’s book that you pick up and take the time to read to your children is good time spent,� James said. “This one in particular, with its message, is very important. “Use that time and cherish that time with your children.� For more information and to purchase “For the Sake of Hugh Manatee,� visit www.forhughmanatee. com.

Science Discovery Day at Diegueño Diegueño Country School students participated in Science Discovery Day on Nov. 15. The students were engaged in exciting hands-on workshops presented by doctors and scientists who were volunteer parents and local science educators. The children expanded their knowledge and developed new skills through these dynamic workshops that deepened student appreciation of scientific investigation. In an exciting opening assembly, students came face-to-face with a great white shark. Husband and wife marine biologists Wayne and Karen Brown presented a nationally-acclaimed school presentation, “The Australia Great White Shark Expedition.” This dynamic duo shared with Diegueño students the thrilling adventure of their pursuit for the great white shark in the waters of Southern Australia. Among the diverse workshops that were organized, each class was involved in at least one workshop about the ocean and its sea life. With the help of organizations such as Scripps Oceanography, children examined real starfish, created bioluminescent creatures, and wrote their names with squid ink. Later, students were involved in a variety of stimulating lab science experiences that included lamb heart dissection, pig foot suturing, anesthesiology and CPR, a study of invisible forces, glowing creatures, the mighty muscles, veterinary medicine, healthy vision for life, and secrets of the cockpit; as well, they experienced fun with dry ice, the magic of circuitry, and robotics. This rich day of scientific study is an annual experience for the students at Diegueño Country School. Private tours are offered daily.

Education Matters/Opinion Policy changed for questioning of students by school authorities BY MARSHA SUTTON Several weeks ago, I presented the first of two recent policy Marsha Sutton changes at the San Dieguito Union High School District, on “Discipline” – and promised a discussion the following week of the second policy change, “Questioning by Law Enforcement.” That scheduled column was pre-empted after I discovered an error on San Dieguito tax bills, which became the subject of several, more pressing columns. To now return to the policy change issue, the new policy on Questioning by Law Enforcement (#5145.11) was updated to reflect a new court decision (Camreta v. Greene) “which vacated the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision that required law enforcement to have parental consent, warrant, or other court order to interview a student in school absent exigent circumstances,” according to the board report. This got my attention because I recently wrote about a case in Kentucky where the rights of a high school student were judged violated by the Kentucky Supreme Court after his school expelled him for possession and sale of a controlled substance. In this case, according to the story in Education Week, “A high school student’s statements to an assistant principal about giving prescription pills to other students had to be suppressed in a criminal proceeding because the student had not been given a Miranda warning.” The ruling stated that students must be read their Miranda rights before school district administrators can question them about possible illegal activity. But apparently Kentucky law does not travel past state boundaries. Although the offense may be expellable, should students be routinely denied their basic Miranda rights when questioned by school authorities? And with only their accusers in the room, are they further denied fundamental rights when parents or attorneys are prohibited from being with them during questioning? Miranda rights for students run head-on against the concept of in loco parentis, the Latin term for “in place of a parent.” In this application of the term, this refers to the legal right schools have to act as substitute parents when students are at school and under school supervision. “Once a kid’s on campus, we become their parent and we become responsible for them,” said Rick Ayala, SDUHSD’s di-

rector of pupil services and alternative programs. This policy gives schools the right to interrogate students and “to allow a police officer to come in and question a kid,” he said. After we discussed the issue, Ayala said he checked with school district lawyers who told him that school officials are indeed able to question kids without first informing their parents. “According to counsel, it is legal and there are no court decisions that have changed that,” he said. “We can interview kids and bring in law enforcement and not have to notify parents.” If the student is arrested, however, “we try to call the parents and let them know where they’re at and what the situation is,” he said. But in loco parentis does not extend to violations of civil liberties, so gray areas exist, as evidenced by the aforementioned phrase in the San Dieguito policy which states “… absent exigent circumstances.” “I understand the rights part of it, but if we had to get a parent in there any time we had to question a kid about anything, whether it was serious or very simple, it would tie up our jobs and we’d be doing that all day long and not do the rest of our jobs,” Ayala said. It’s this line in the board policy that’s particularly troubling: “… the principal or designee shall attempt to notify student’s parent/guardian as soon as practicable after the law enforcement officer has interviewed the student on school premises.” [italics mine] In an email, Ayala wrote: “School officials do not need to notify a student’s parent/ guardian of an interview by a law enforcement official on school grounds until it is practical after the interview has been conducted. School officials will immediately notify a parent/guardian if the student is removed from school in the custody of law enforcement.” Note that, before the change, the policy read: “Except in cases of child abuse or neglect, the principal or designee shall attempt to notify the student’s parent/guardian when [a] law enforcement officer requests an interview on school premises.” This was changed to: “Except in cases of child abuse or neglect, the principal or designee shall attempt to notify the student’s parent/guardian as soon as practicable after the law enforcement officer has interviewed the student on school premises.” Removed from SDUHSD policy is the following: “At the law officer’s discretion and

with the student’s approval, the principal or designee may be present during the interview. The law officer should advise the student that he/she has the right to remain silent, but that he/she is encouraged to cooperate with law enforcement … If in the course of the interview the law officer finds it necessary to remove the student from school so as to better aid the investigation, the principal or designee shall first ascertain the reason for such action.” So to be clear, many protections of student rights have been removed from board policy. “I can see both sides,” Ayala said. “As a parent I can see that I would want to know. But I do see for the purposes of conducting an investigation how if I’m considered the parent while the kid’s with me at school then I have the right to give law enforcement the opportunity to interview the kid.” Ayala said that police have fewer rights than school officials because police need probable cause and school officials only need reasonable suspicion. And there is a distinction between the two. “As school officials we have more search rights than cops,” he said, citing, for example, the confiscation of cell phones on demand, the use of breathalyzers, or asking students to empty their pockets. And even though 18-year-old students are considered adults under the law, the authority of in loco parentis still applies when they are at school, Ayala said. Court ruling The case cited in the new board policy on Questioning by Law Enforcement, Camreta v. Greene, is an odd basis by which to alter policy. The case involves a then 9-year-old girl from Oregon who was questioned, some say badgered, at school for hours, without a warrant or parental consent, after officials from Child Protective Services heard of possible sexual abuse. The girl’s mother claimed her daughter was denied Fourth Amendment protection which states in part: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated …” Many child-advocacy groups supported the mother, citing the potential for an abuse of power by state authorities who, upon little more than hearsay evidence and with minimal accountability, can interrogate young children for hours until “the right answers” are provided. This, some claim, denies innocent children the rights given

even to alleged criminals. According to written reports, the District Court sided with the officials, and the Ninth Circuit affirmed the decision. The Court of Appeals first ruled that seizing the girl “absent a warrant, court order, parental consent, or exigent circumstances” violated the Constitution but noted that the officials were entitled to immunity because no clearly established law had warned them that their conduct was illegal. In March 2011, when the girl was nearly 18, the case went to the Supreme Court which vacated the lower court’s decision. It’s complicated, because children can easily become victims of an over-zealous state that browbeats the scared and young, who are alone in a room with strangers, into saying things not true. On the other hand, parents who abuse their children cannot be contacted for permission to allow authorities who, out of genuine concern for the child’s welfare, need to question the child and work to remove them from negligent parents and harmful home environments. Child sexual abuse falls into a different category than other kinds of cases more frequently occurring in high schools: for example,

the possession, sale or use of illegal drugs or alcohol; weapons violations; and violent threats against teachers, students or property. To be clear, San Dieguito is likely not alone with this policy change. Ayala said the California School Boards Association reviews policies and makes recommendations to school districts throughout the state on a quarterly basis, after CSBA lawyers analyze legalities and establish guidelines based on any new developments. Interested readers can Google the case to learn more details. But for the purposes of the new San Dieguito board policy, the district appears to be relying upon the ruling that search and seizure to interrogate children without notifying parents or obtaining a warrant is not judged unlawful. It’s difficult to understand how the Camreta v. Greene judgment should be broadly applied across the board, but one can easily see how the over-application of this ruling can allow school authorities to detain and interrogate children in ways we would never tolerate for adults.

PSYCHOLOGIST continued from page 1 mine if Kanner can continue to practice as a psychologist in California will be overseen by a judge with the state Office of Administrative Hearings, said Gina Bayless, enforcement program coordinator with the Board of Psychology. Due to a backlog of cases, Kanner’s hearing could not be scheduled sooner than next fall. “It’s an unacceptably long time to be setting a hearing out,” acknowledged Bayless. “We would prefer these matters are heard more timely.” The Office of Administrative Hearings handles hearings for a variety of state agencies, and has been affected by an increased case load and worker furloughs, Bayless said. The hearing schedule must also accommodate the schedule of attorneys on both sides. The accusation filed against Kanner was based on a complaint received by the Board of Psychology, said Bayless. After an initial review of the allegations and the patient’s records, a sworn peace officer with the state Medical Board conducted a full investigation,

Rancho Santa Fe Review including interviews with all parties, she said. The investigator’s report was reviewed by an independent expert and the Attorney General’s office before the accusation was filed. The Board of Psychology’s accusation seeks the revocation or suspension of Kanner’s psychologist license. The accusation filed against Kanner said that in December 2009, he began treating S.H., a minor initially diagnosed with anxiety disorder, whose parents were in the process of divorcing. In 2010, Kanner and the patient’s mother began to exchange “flirtatious text messages,” and by March of 2011, “the text messages between (Kanner) and (the patient’s mother) became sexual in nature, and contained many references to explicit sexual feelings and wishes.” The accusation said Kanner and the patient’s mother began a sexual relationship in the early summer of 2011, which continued until February 2012. “During an interview with the Board’s investigator, respondent emphasized that his sexual relationship with (the patient’s mother) was her fault and that he had been seduced into the rela-

tionship and succumbed when (the patient’s mother) became angry,” the accusation said. The accusation said Kanner had engaged in the sexual relationship with his patient’s mother during and immediately after the time period when he had treated the patient. Kanner failed to maintain “appropriate boundaries” in his relationships with individuals close to his patient, and also that he had failed to make a timely report of suspected child abuse regarding the patient’s father, according to the accusation. Kanner, who lists an office at 6037 La Granada in Rancho Santa Fe, is a licensed and board-certified clinical child, adolescent, and adult psychologist and psychoanalyst, according to his website. His psychologist license was issued in 1992, according to state records. Kanner is a voluntary health sciences assistant professor of psychiatry at UC San Diego School of Medicine. According to his website, he teaches human development and trains medical students how to “better understand and relate to their patients.” A UC

San Diego spokeswoman said the university is terminating its relationship with Kanner because his license has expired. University records do not document any volunteer work by Kanner after 2011, according to the spokeswoman. In addition, Kanner has appeared on local and national television and radio programs: his credits include CNN, Dr. Phil, Geraldo, Fox and Friends and UT-TV. His column has also been published in the Rancho Santa Fe Review, and he has written a blog. His book, “Your Family Matters,” was published in 2011. Kanner’s website bio said he is a father and has coached baseball, football, and soccer.

UPDATE continued from page 21 1,000 students should population growth call for this. While the new middle school will be very close to CCA, attendance at the new middle school will not provide students with any advantage if they ultimately choose to apply to attend CCA for high school. The construction of this middle school will allow us to decrease the size of Carmel

Valley MS to somewhere in the neighborhood of 9001,000 students. The current plan calls for the new school to open with 7th graders only in fall of 2015 and grow to include both 7th and 8th graders in fall of 2016. Student attendance at this new school will be determined by attendance boundaries and these boundaries will be determined in the spring of 2014. These boundaries will be determined through a process that will examine demographic projections and existing elementary and middle school boundaries and will include input from parents, community members, and elementary and SDUHSD educators. One of our priorities in developing our new middle school boundaries is to do our best to ensure that students from individual feeder elementary schools are not forced to attend different middle schools.

UCSD to present lecture by clinical trials researcher The UC San Diego Ethics Center will host clinical trials researcher Razelle Kurzrock speaking about, “Winning the War Against Cancer In the Genomics Era: Is It About Time?” The forum will be presented at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, Community Forum, 1875 El Prado in Balboa Park. The event is free. With cancer research making exponential strides in recent years, the need for personalized clinical trials that match patients with cutting-edge treatments, techniques and procedures has grown in equal measure. Kurzrock’s presentation will examine the latest techniques in the testing of innovative cancer-fighting therapies. Before coming to UC San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center about a year ago, Kurzrock was known for successfully creating the world’s largest Phase I clinical trials department while at the University of Texas’ M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

‘5 Things Parents of Teens Need to Know’ family forum draws large crowd “Five Things Parents of Teens Need To Know” was presented at San Dieguito Academy high school to a room filled to capacity with parents, students and community members on Oct. 30 at San Dieguito Academy (SDA) high school. Five panelists, including three high school students from San Dieguito Academy, a parent specialist and a school psychologist, described for the audience the five key elements “parents need to know”: 1) Staying connected, 2) Having clear expectations and communication, 3) Maintaining school/life balance, 4) Learning to make and live with mistakes, and 5) Preparing for the future. MyMy Cade, panelist and co-founder of the Because I Love You (BILYsandiego.org), a parent support group based in Encinitas, reported that marijuana is arresting the development of our kids – and compromising their abilities. “Marijuana is bringing our kids down. Hundreds of parents come to our program, many of whom have come because of the behavioral changes in their kids which is often tied to marijuana use,” Cade said. Cade also recommended that parents should “drug test your kids. It sends a strong message that no drug or alcohol use is permitted in your home.” The student panelist concurred that it gave them a way out when they are offered drugs or a drink at parties. Students Ian MacGregor, Consuelo Maya, Bo Templin and Cassidy Meyeda provided insights throughout the evening. “Tell your student that you love them,” stated Cassidy Mayeda, a senior at SDA. “Students feel pressured about so many things and we need to hear this and know that you care.” “Even when we make mistakes – don’t fix things. When you let me make my own mistakes, the lessons that I will learn from them will sink in much more than if you plan all of my activities and never let me fail, ” said Bo Templin. Parenting during the high school years requires a general shift from managing one’s child’s interests and schedule to promoting responsibility, accountability and independence. The evening was sponsored by the San Dieguito Academy Parent Foundation, which submitted this report.

FAIRGROUNDS continued from page 1 mission to order the 22nd DAA to phase out its use of the southern one-third of its east overflow lot over the next 10 years, as recommended by Coastal Commission staff. In seeking the additional land for restoration, river park officials cited a study commissioned by the fairgrounds, which showed that a 4-acre section of the east lot had the potential to be transformed back into wetlands if it was no longer graded or used for parking. At its October meeting, the commission delayed a decision on the permit to allow the two sides to attempt to work out a compromise. At the time, the commission’s staff recommended approval of the permit without restrictions on the use of the east lot. “It was disappointing,” said river park JPA executive director Dick Bobertz of this week’s decision by the commission. “Particularly since the Coastal Commission staff had come around from their first recommendation to basically agree with us that the southern one-third (of the east overflow lot) should be preserved.” Proponents of preserving the additional land said

Rancho Santa Fe Review the 22nd DAA’s own parking study showed there were options to make up for the loss of parking. But 22nd DAA board member Adam Day disagreed, contending that the additional loss of parking from the east lot would have dealt “a devastating blow to our operations.” Roberts praised the commission’s decision, noting that neither side got exactly what it wanted. “I believe the Coastal Commission found a way to keep the possibility of preserving more wetlands open, while allowing the fairgrounds to continue operations while we work together to seek a solution,” he said. The river park JPA will continue to urge that the southernmost portion of the east lot be restored to wetlands, said Bobertz, even if it means waiting for 10 years. “That’s our strong point. We never go away,” he said. The second permit approved by the commission on Nov. 13 brings the fairgrounds into compliance with coastal regulations for activities on its main property, and also allows a fall race meet to begin next year, in addition to the regular summer meet from late July through early September. The fall race meet will run from Nov. 5 through Dec. 7.

FRAGRANCE continued from page 6 “We wanted people to be able to buy in and really make money off the bat,” Dana said, noting each designer can also recruit three deep that they receive a percentage of. There is a basic script to follow but the designers can get creative in how they host a party. Dana likes all of the parties she hosts to begin in the kitchen, after all “perfume is so inspired by flavor,” she says. She likes to whip up her special “Pastiche Pizza”— a pizza crust slathered with pesto and topped with arugula, mushrooms, diced pear, cheese and a surprise ingredient of white chocolate chips, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and agave honey. Building a fragrance can be a lot like loading a pizza or, as Bill explains it, like making an ice cream sundae. You start with a base and then add different toppings to balance it out. Dana brought on a master perfumer, Vito Lenoci, whom she said truly understands the art and science behind fragrances, to create the scents for their fragrance bar. People start with one of

four bases: Sparkling citrus, Creamy white musk, Grandiflora and the Woody amber and patchouli. Customers then select the layers of notes they want to add in. Selections were limited to 10 so as not to overwhelm the customers, scents such as balsamic vanilla, Asian pear and freesia, French tuberose, bergamot or cocao flower. “People love that they get to take it home that night,” Dana said. Perfumes blends are sold in two sizes, one ounce and two ounces, with price points that are lower than department stores. Customers are able to take a test whiff of their perfume as it is sprayed on a feather. The feather is then packaged with the bottle in a little pouch and as a special touch; each bottle comes with a ring or charm. Pastiche also sells lotions to match the base scent of the custom-designed fragrance and when people purchase the 2.0 ounce Eau de Parfum they receive a free monogram on their bottle. For more information on hosting a Pastiche party or if interested in joining the Pastiche team, visit pasticheperfume.com.

EAGLES continued from page 1 many of the players were coming off strong seasons in their seventh grade years, said Kevin Fernandez, eighth grade middle linebacker. The team’s closeness and camaraderie also made a difference in how they played, said Seth Rossier, eighth grade center. “We really just came together really well,” Seth said. “We were cohesive, everyone practiced hard and we blended well together,” agreed Kevin. The team’s undefeated year was not without challenges, as the team did experience some first-half struggles at times. The team’s most satisfying victories came against Horizon Prep and Santa Fe Christian in the RSF’s first match-up against Santa Fe Christian, as RSF beat them 28-6. Kevin said they beat Pacific Ridge School “pretty good,” but he actually enjoyed when the team had to work harder for its wins. “I liked the games that were more competitive because if you go undefeated with no competition it kind of gets boring,” Kevin said. The championship

LAMBORGHINI SAN DIEGO

game last week was very competitive, with both sides taking the game very seriously. “We scored right off the bat with punt returns, but couldn’t get our one- or twopoint conversions…we were down by two at halftime,” Sully said. “At halftime we were gathered by our coaches and got back in the game,” Kevin said. Seth said they were able to get up by two scores and put the game away. All three players will move on from Rowe next year, but they believe their team will be in good hands to defend their title next year, led by incoming eighth grade quarterback Michael Mines. RSF Eagles flag football team members include (alphabetical order): Spencer Barberree, Danny Burns Brewster, Ryan Cesari, Cameron Dickson, Kevin Fernandez, Ryan Kiernan, Ty Miller, Sully O’brien, Seth Rossier, Elijah Smith, Finn Smith, Lorenzo Patino, Daniel Richardson, Issac Spivak, Frankie Van Den Berg, Michael Mines, Tucker Drawdy, Jack Raser, Nick Van Huizum.

Working toward the cure: Past, present and future of breast cancer under the microscope

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ASHLEY MACKIN At a recent luncheon honoring Dr. Doris Howell of La Jolla (founder of the Doris Howell Foundation for women’s health) fellow wellbeing advocate Dr. Anne Wallace gave a presentation on the past, present and future of breast cancer. Director of the Breast Care Unit and Professor of Clinical Surgery at UC San Diego, Dr. Wallace opened with the point “this field is changing really rapidly.” “If I gave this presentation six month ago, I’d have to change the whole thing,” she told the gathering at La Jolla Country Club. “There’s a lot to breast cancer, it’s not just a matter of diagnosing or doing reconstructing, it’s looking at a patient from a lot of different aspects.” Who’s at risk? Risk factors, as well as how those risks can be quantified, has changed dramatically over the years, Dr. Wallace reported. She said scientists know quite a bit about the role genetics play in the risk for developing breast cancer, but the scientific exploration of the “BRCA” gene has changed the game. She said someone with a BRCA gene – which actress Angelina Jolie famously announced she carries – has up to an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer. However, “This gene is associated with other cancers, too, like melanoma and prostate cancer or pancreatic cancer,” Dr. Wallace said. “Some women don’t have breast cancer in their family, but they might have these other cancers in their family, so we’re putting the word out … to make sure you take a detailed family history.” In addition to family history, other risks are also becoming clearer. “What we didn’t know until very recently is that there is a clear relationship between diet, obesity, exercise and alcohol (to the risk for developing breast cancer).” When it comes to alcohol consumption, she said four drinks a week are considered cause for a slight risk increase, and seven drinks a week a significant risk increase. However, exercise can help decrease the risk of cancer. Dr. Wallace said a woman’s body size factors in, too. An adult woman should not weigh more than five percent of what she did when she was 18 years old.

Dr. Anne Wallace discusses the latest findings on breast cancer at the Nov. 6 luncheon honoring health pioneer Dr. Doris Howell. “I always kid and say I would like to have a study that puts exercise against alcohol to see if you can exercise off your alcohol,” she joked. Once risk is determined, there is a mathematical model some doctors use that takes in all risk factors and issues a number indicating one’s overall risk of developing breast cancer, she said. Screenings and prevention In an effort to further personalize the approach to breast cancer, once a person’s risk level is determined, doctors can implement different screening strategies, depending on the patient’s breast size and density. She said in California, there is a law that mandates patients be told if their breasts appear dense on mammograms so they can be counseled on additional imaging techniques. Dr. Wallace said she uses a MRI machine on many of her patients.

“MRIs are now used for women who have dense breasts, high-risk women or women who present with something in the lymph nodes,” she said, showing slides of how breast tissue with a small tumor looked after a mammogram, and then how it looked after an MRI. The MRI indicated there was cancer present in much of the breast tissue. In addition to screenings, those with in an increased risk of developing breast cancer can also undergo chemoprevention and surgical prevention. “Chemoprevention basically means getting drugs to somebody so we can lower their risk for breast cancer,” she said. When it comes to surgical prevention, Wallace said there is an attitude of old-is-new-again. “We can remove the ovaries (of high-risk women) when they are done with childbearing,” she said, adding that surgeons in the 1950s removed women’s ovaries for breast cancer risk-reduction and everyone thought that was appalling. “Then data started coming out to suggest that ovarian shutdown is very good for breast cancer (prevention) in extremely high-risk women,” she said. Similarly, women can elect to have their breasts removed through a bilateral mastectomy. However, she explained there was a paper published in 2010 that showed when women have a mastectomy to reduce their risk for breast cancer, it doesn’t guarantee an extended lifespan. “So when Angelina Jolie chose to have her breasts removed, her statement, ‘I did it because I want to live,’ was a little misleading,” Dr. Wallace said. “The statement, ‘I didn’t want to put my kids through me having cancer,’ is more correct.” Removal and repair However, she said perhaps women are jumping to this solution a too quickly. “We are in a little bit of an epidemic of doing these very radical surgeries right now. I think some of it is we’ve gotten very good at reconstructing, but the rest of the world does

Flower Hill Promenade welcomes new Cucina Enoteca BY KELLEY CARLSON eople are welcome to have a seat at Cucina Enoteca — literally and figuratively. At this modern Italian kitchen-meets-rustic farmhouse concept eatery — which recently took over the former Chevy’s location in Flower Hill Promenade — guests will discover a “restaurant to retail” environment. Everything is for sale, from Italian entrees on the menu and bottles of wine stocked near the entrance, to the customized furniture and lighting. Owner Tracy Borkum completely redesigned the space (using repurposed and reclaimed materials) and filled it with her eclectic array of creations and locally procured vintage wares, such as orange-wire bend chairs and relish jar candles. Large windows permit plenty of natural light by day, and at night, the establishment is glowing from candlelit tables and custom-made chandeliers suspended from the high ceilings. Guests can be found chattering over the soft background music while seated around the two large communal tables in the main dining room, or making new acquaintances at the bar. Kids have can fun at the seating area that wraps around the pizza oven, watching chefs toss dough high into the air, then spreading tomato sauce and piling cheese onto their own pies. A side dining room offers a more quiet and intimate experience. A “garden in the sky” awaits above. Patrons travel up the stairs past a “curtain” of model-sized horses to the second-story deck, which is abundant with foliage and offers views of the area. There, they can

Bachelier is part of the culinary team led by Executive Chef Joe Magnanelli, and together they created a menu that incorporates some staples from Cucina Enoteca in Irvine and sister Cucina Urbana locations, but also concocted items specific to the Del Mar site. Many of the ingredients used are from Borkum’s garden at her home in San Diego. Many guests start their meal with antipasti such as Burrata and Prosciutto “Caprese,” featuring creamy cheese and wedges of heirloom tomato accented with

Other crowd-pleasing starters include the Panko-Crusted Rabbit Sausage with a celery confit, in which the prunes are cooked down in cognac; and the Grilled Octopus, surrounded by tiny pickled beech mushrooms and charred scallions, acqua pazza (crazy water) aioli, black garlic and coriander vinaigrette. For the main course, there are selections ranging from pizzas and pastas to salads and meat-based dishes. The favorite among the Cucina chefs is the Bucatini, a pile of thick noodles mixed with bits of house-cured guanciale (jowl of a pig), burnt cabbage leaf, tomato, chili and pecorino, topped with a hen egg to be broken and mixed into the noodles. Another desired dish is the Celery Root

Along with such temptations, diners may want to take advantage of the themed daily specials, offered from 3 to 6 p.m. There’s Meatball Monday, Take-Out Tuesday, Wild Wednesday (burger and Moretti beer); Thrifty Thursday (half-price pizza), Formaggi Friday, Social Saturday (when people are asked to find the weekly password on Twitter or Facebook) and Sinful Sunday (no corkage on all bottles from the wine shop over $20).

One Night Only: Arcangelo Corelli comes to the Athenaeum BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT On Nov. 24, a modernday violin virtuoso and her gifted keyboard accompanist will pay tribute to a legendary 18th century violinist/ composer with a special concert at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla. Victoria Martino and James Lent will mark the 300th anniversary of Arcangelo Corelli’s death with another of their musical marathons, featuring all 12 of Corelli’s sonatas for violin and organ continuo, performed on authentic Baroque violin and pipe organ. Arcangelo Corelli (16531713) was the most popular Italian composer of the Baroque era, a major influence on Vivaldi, Bach and Handel whose sonatas and concertos were famous throughout Europe. His skill as a composer was matched by his skill as a performer. He toured widely, establishing the violin as a solo instrument, and has been called the “World’s First Great Violinist.” Well-rewarded for his work in his lifetime, he is buried in the Pantheon at Rome.

of everything anyone could do on the violin in 1700.” Corelli, like other composers of his time, did not actually provide complete scores for his compositions. “Performers were expected to co-create the music, embellishing what was written down with their own ornamentation, like jazz musicians,” Martino said. “I have to train hard for the concert, to have the physical, intellectual and creative stamina to do it, first to learn all the pieces, and then to be in top form for over two hours. It’s pretty scary, and it’s a one-time only event.” Martino, who was raised in La Jolla, has had a long and varied career on three continents. She calls Lent, who has a Ph.D. in music performance from Yale, one of the most sought-after collaborative keyboardists in Southern California, and the two will be performing on authentic Baroque instruments. “This will be an amazing opportunity for audiences to hear Corelli’s works performed on an 18th century violin that has never been modified and an organ with all wooden pipes,” Martino said. “There’s no way to duplicate that special sound! What these instruments have is an incredible, embracing warmth, and in the Athenaeum’s intimate setting, the music will penetrate into your bones.” Martino has been “in training” for weeks, running the entire program every evening, in addition to her regular practicing. “One must be a gymnast, wizard, fire-eater, tightrope walker, poet and priest in order to perform this extraordinary music,” she said. “You’ll understand when you hear it!”

Their Corelli concert will be only a quarter as long as their Mozart marathon, but it’s even more challenging. “The music is so demanding,” Martino said. “Corelli wrote these pieces for himself to perform, and included every technical trick in the book, most of which he invented. Preparing for the concert is like going through an anthology

Customers line up for TPHS grads’ popular new ice cream sandwich shop The Baked Bear BY KAREN BILLING If their reviews on Instagram and Twitter are any indication, The Baked Bear is one sticky-fingered, childhood dream dessert come true. Sweet snapshots of a mound (or two) of their creamy ice cream sandwiched between freshly baked cookies, brownies, waffles or a combination of both have become almost obligatory. “Get ready to be an addict,” read one post. The Pacific Beach ice cream sandwich shop, dreamed up by Torrey Pines High School graduates Shane Stanger and Robby Robbins, has become one of San Diego’s favorite treats since opening in May last year. The custom-built sandwich combinations are endless: Cookies come in white chocolate macadamia nut, peanut butter, red velvet, snicker doodle, funfetti cake or gluten-free chocolate chip and can be paired with scoops of ice cream in flavors such as chocolate, mint chocolate chip, strawberry cheesecake, coffee, butter pecan or mango strawberry sorbet. There is Instagram evidence that a “double-decker” sandwich exists: five layers deep of chocolate chip cookie, strawberry ice cream, a brownie, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream rounded off with an M&M cookie. After an “insanely slammed” summer at the beach, Robbins and Stanger are enjoying taking their act on the road. Their ice cream sandwiches are now a special feature at both the Carmel Valley Farmers Market at Canyon Crest Academy on Thursdays and the Solana Beach Farmers Market on Sundays. Baked Bear founders Robbins and Stanger were 2005 graduates of Torrey Pines High School. Since meeting in the sixth grade, they stayed friends through high school and college, where Robbins went to the University of Colorado at Boulder and Stanger went to UC Santa Barbara. They even studied abroad together. Robbins has been around the restaurant business for most of his life as his father, Barry Robbins, owned the Chicago Brothers pizza chain in San Diego with his partner David Levy before they opened Milton’s Restaurant in Del Mar in 1995. Robbins worked at Milton’s on and off for about six

(Right) Baked Bear sandwich: A double decker Baked Bear ice cream sandwich. Courtesy photos years and it was in the Milton’s bakery where he first toyed with Baked Bear cookie recipes. Stanger doesn’t have a background in the food industry but graduated with a degree in business economics. He worked for the last four years in the entertainment field before he and Robbins started talking seriously about opening a business in December of 2012. The pair found their location first, just around the corner from the beach on Mission Boulevard between Garnet and Felspar. At first they envisioned a sandwich shop that whipped up wraps and salads, but the location’s front window with a counter inspired them to think about what they could sell and pass through that open window. Ice cream sandwiches at the beach seemed a no-brainer. The Baked Bear does all of its cookie, waffle and brownie baking on site from scratch while its ice cream is from Crystal Creamery. Etienne Yim, the French pastry chef the duo brought on, comes up with all the Baked Bear’s baked goods recipes. The shop also serves up its ice cream in a cup or cone and cookies by the half dozen or

dozen. Sandwiches can be topped with extra sprinkles, waffle bits, almonds or chocolate chips or washed down with milk, chocolate milk or a root beer float. “Everything happened pretty quickly,” Robbins said, noting they came up with their business plan two weeks before New Year’s, came up with their name on New Year’s Eve and had a soft opening in April. Their grand opening was May 4. “It was a great response, with the grand opening we had a line out the door and around the corner, it was crazy,” Robbins said. “We had no idea what to expect.

Chaîne des Rôtisseurs honors dignitaries and celebrities and supports charities in Washington, D.C. •RSF resident Harold S. Small represents local Chapter at event San Diego Attorney Harold S. Small, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, represented the local Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Chapter at the organization’s annual Grand Chapitre held Oct. 17-19 at the Fairmont Hotel Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Small, who is the Chancelier des Etat-Unis (Executive Vice-President) of the organization and also its membership chair, reported at the National Council session that the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs has 22,000 members and chapters in more than 80 countries, including 130 chapters in the U.S. with a combined membership of nearly 6,000. It is the world’s oldest and largest food and wine society. When the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs held its annual “Grand Chapitre” in Washington, D.C. in October, it demonstrated that the world’s oldest and largest food and wine society does not just enjoy the delights of farm and vineyard but also possesses both civic responsibility and an appreciation of those who have achieved success in a variety of professions. The organization spotlighted notable

members of the judicial and legal professions and diplomatic dignitaries, as well as culinary celebrities, and also donated funds to help support people and families dealing with hunger every day. At a gala at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., the Chaîne honored His Excellency François Delattre, Ambassador of France to the United States, with induction into the organization with the rank of Grand Officier d’Honneur, a title the organization bestows only on governors and heads of state. Chef Michel Richard was named the eighth “Maître d’Honneur” of the society. Marie E. Jones, Bailli Délégué Honoraire of the United Kingdom and Vice President International, was the inducting officer. Also participating in the induction ceremony was Chancelier/Executive Vice President Harold S. Small of Rancho Santa Fe. The evening was made especially festive by guests who donned costumes

Rancho Santa Fe Review

To Your Health: Hospice care provides comfort and support BY TIMOTHY CORBIN, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH When a person is diagnosed with a terminal illness, quality of life is a top priority, especially during the last weeks to months. Many of those patients choose to spend their remaining days in the comfort of their own home and may require more personal or medical care than their family or loved ones can provide. Hospice enables terminally ill patients to live out their lives in a comfortable, familiar setting while receiving the total care they need. Hospice provides patients with full-service care. Multidisciplinary teams of care providers evaluate the patient as a whole person with comprehensive needs. These needs focus on the person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Teams include physicians, nurses, medical social workers, chaplains, and health care aides, each of which has specialized expertise in caring for patients at end-of-life. Hospice physicians specialize in symptom management, such as pain, shortness of breath, or anxiety, among others. They not only treat these symptoms but have the expertise to often anticipate and avoid them. This leads to the lessening of pain and suffering, allowing patients to focus on what may be most important to them at end of life, such as relationships with their loved ones; a recent patient wanted to attend a granddaughter’s wedding and be able to once again play a round of golf. As the designated case manager, the hospice nurse has the most contact with the patient. Hospice nurses manage and coordinate all care; they educate and advocate for their patients, manage medications, evaluate symptoms and coordinate medical treatments with the physicians. Medical social workers help coordinate social needs and can greatly lessen burdens felt by a family. They can often help identify added resources available to patients and families. Chaplains address spiritual care needs. They help identify what spirituality means to a given patient and how that may be having an impact on his or her current life. If a patient identifies with a particular religion, the chaplains can help coordinate care that respects and supports the patient’s religious beliefs. In addition to home aides, who help with issues at home such as bathing and personal care, volunteers are also part of the team. Volunteers, for example, may read to patients or may give the gift of just being present so no patient is ever alone. Together, team members strive to provide the best quality of life for their patients day to day and honor the patients’ wishes for how they want to spend their time. While most hospice services are designed to care for patients in their own homes, team members may provide care in assisted living or skilled nursing facilities if appropriate. Some hospice services also have their own facilities or are associated with hospital systems, such as Scripps. Scripps’ hospice care ensures that Scripps patients have continuity of care. The hospice team continues to help coordinate care with primary physicians as well as specialists as may be required. Hospice benefits not only patients, but their family members and friends as well. Team members provide support for those facing the loss of a loved one. In addition to providing bereavement services after a patient passes, hospice can be there to help family and friends with the grieving process. Most insurance companies, including Medicare, will cover hospice for qualified patients. Although many patients are older, hospice is available to patients of any age—including children—who have a terminal diagnosis with limited life expectancy. Generally, a physician must agree that a patient’s life expectancy is less than six months in order for hospice care to be covered; however, because it is nearly impossible to predict exactly how long a patient will live, some patients may receive hospice care beyond six months. Like hospice care, palliative care also focuses on pro-

viding comfort and support to very ill patients, focuses on the whole person and evaluates the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. Unlike hospice care, however, palliative care is offered to patients who are still being treated for their illnesses and are not necessarily near the end of life; in fact, many make a full recovery. Palliative care is provided in parallel with curative treatments and can be a tremendous resource. A patent with cancer, for example, may receive palliative care to help with the side effects of chemotherapy treatment or can evaluate and treat pain.

old senior. “Getting to see the classrooms and the material that’s actually used was really helpful in my exploration into teaching English.” Along with classmates Carter Triana and Anny Huang, Emily spent the first half of each day creating worksheets and developing grammar and vocabulary assessments. For the second half of each day, the students pursued independent projects. Emily worked on increasing the number of children’s audiobooks in Paedea’s library system. She selected books, designated timelines and sourced narrators, narrating a few of the books herself. “Going to these places where the living conditions are so different, even if it’s in a very advanced nation like South Korea where the conditions are very similar to ours, or going to a place in rural China where the conditions are so different, it’s great for kids to get this kind of perspective,” she said. “Most kids don’t get to experience anything outside of their bubble at home.”

Pacific Ridge School offers a variety of travel programs for all students. Last year, more than 90 percent of the school’s students traveled at the end of the school year, while others chose to participate in local internships or other activities, Ogle said. Located at 6269 El Fuerte St. in Carlsbad, Pacific Ridge School opened in 2007 with 108 students. The school has since grown to 503 students and 95 faculty and staff. Global engagement is just one of the three pillars of the school’s mission statement. Pacific Ridge promotes academic excellence by offering seminar-style teaching, while an extensive service learning program built into the curriculum helps students learn ethical responsibility. “I think our school is a place where everyone wants to know about the world, wants to know more about different cultures,” Tony said. “I think that yearning to know more is something we can apply to academics, ethical responsibility, and obviously, global engagement.” For more information, call 760-448-9820 or visit www.pacificridge.org.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Still in high school, Emily St. Marie has already completed her first internship and Tony Oliverio has already studied abroad. Both are students at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad, an independent college preparatory school that emphasizes global engagement, as well as academic excellence and ethical responsibility. “We live in a global community,” said Head of School Dr. Bob Ogle, who helped launch the middle and high school in 2007. “Anytime we connect our students with other communities outside our school, whether it’s across the street or across the globe, we are teaching them how to work with others and how to live in a 21st century world. There’s no way you can teach that just in books.” Along with most of the ninth grade class, Tony Oliverio traveled to China last spring in a school-designed program. During the nearly two-week-long trip students explored China’s capital, toured monumental sites, hiked the Great Wall, learned about the lives and work of farmers in rural China and volunteered in primary schools in small villages. Tony, who has studied Chinese for five years, said his favorite part of the trip was the home stay experience in Shanghai, where he stayed with a mother, child and two sets of grandparents. “It’s a diverse world with so many different cultures and people and outlooks,” said Tony, a 15-year-old sophomore. “Getting to experience that at such a young age and getting familiar with that, I think, will serve us well later on.” Like Tony Oliverio, Emily St. Marie participated in the China trip when she was in ninth grade. More recently, she and two other students spent their summer interning at a South Korean language school. As a freshman, Emily was one of several students who founded a service-learning group called Lingo Online. Working with the contacts of a former Pacific Ridge faculty member who now works in South Korea, the group offers free English lessons to non-native speakers via Skype. During the self-designed five-week internship with language institution Paedea, Emily visited the land and people she had experienced only virtually. “I had a more hands-on approach,” said Emily, an 18-year-

Letters/Commentary/Opinion

Rant with Randi: Ego BY RANDI CRAWFORD I had the chance to witness two boys that are close to my family put ego aside and set a great example that we can all learn from over the past two weeks. Ego is a killer and gets in the way of just about everything. Those three little letters can ruin a person’s outlook on life. That’s sad because the world is such a bigger place than you and me. A few weeks ago, a local lacrosse club held tryouts for their winter travel team. Several boys that I know tried out, and were on pins and needles waiting to hear the news about which team they made. Apparently there are three levels, and they are based on ability. My nephew, a longtime lacrosse player and a sophomore in high school, did not make the team that all his buddies made, and he felt pretty down. We were all sad, but agreed that it was his situation to deal with. Turns out his age group held a third set of tryouts and, this time, my nephew had to tryout with the freshmen. For those of you who don’t have teenagers, it’s humiliating. But he went back to this tryout, ego aside, and played his butt off. Later that afternoon, he received a text from the head coach inviting him to join the team that he wanted to make. My nephew could have easily blown off that third tryout, had a bad attitude towards the club and let his pride get in the way. He’s on a few different teams and he didn’t need to make another team. His parents could have made calls and yelled at coaches to try and get him on the team, but they didn’t. I was so proud of the example he set for both of my children. It taught them that if you let your pride get in the way, you are the loser. You can’t go through life worrying about what other people think about you, and if you really want something, you may have to eat humble pie to get it. At the very least, it taught them that you don’t always make the team you want, you don’t always get your way. Subsequently, we had another friend try out at our age level and he didn’t make the team with his group of friends. All the boys felt terrible and didn’t understand why their buddy didn’t make it. They treated him with the utmost respect at school the next day, and they all supported him and made him feel really good. But here’s the funny part. This boy wasn’t that upset about it. He realized that it meant he would probably get more playing time on the other team, and that he still gets to practice with his friends. The only thing he would be missing was two tournaments, and his parents said that he could come to one of them to support his friends (and goof off in the hotel – the best part). This is just another example of having no ego and no parental intervention to screw things up. My gut tells me that this kid will most likely be moved up to the team he initially wanted to make before the season is through. But these two stories are not typical. Most people do not accept adversity the way these two boys and their families graciously did. I hope someone reading this takes away the message that ego will hurt you, not help you. And, more importantly, to let your child figure it out if they don’t initially get what they want. Let them work through the adversity and then reap the rewards on the other side, because let me tell you – that feels darn good! Your thoughts? www.randiccrawford@gmail.com

KAUFMAN This time of year, both seasoned cooks and neophytes, are cocooning themselves in their kitchens to prepare an impressive, bountiful (and hopefully healthy) Thanksgiving feast. It is also that time of year when assorted culinary crises abound, including everything from leaving the giblet bag in the cavity to undercooking a turkey to the point where a competent veterinarian could possibly revive it. Here is some solid gustatory advice to help you seamlessly navigate your way through turkey land. Gobble, gobble. Gender selection Do you want a girl or a boy bird? Tom is the boy, hen is the girl. Large, older males are tastier and tenderer than the young, wily boys, while old hens are tough birds. So it’s better to buy an old tom or a young, tender hen (no older than 15 months). If your druthers are breast meat, the young hen is for you, but if you prefer dark meat, then buy the old tom.

Dressed to kill The big Thanksgiving dilemma is whether to stuff the bird or do the stovetop method. For the nays, an unstuffed turkey will roast more uniformly and quickly, but if you stuff, it must be completely scooped out from the cavity within an hour after the turkey is removed from the oven, to prevent an environment rife for the formation of bacteria and food-borne illnesses. For a no-fuss stuffing technique simply pack the dressing in a cheesecloth bag and insert in the bird. This cavity protection not only prevents sticking to the insides, but makes for easy removal when the turkey’s done. Rack it up For easy cleanup, swap out the roasting rack for an edible makeshift one. Line your roasting pan with layers of carrots, celery and parsnips that will also infuse the bird with divine flavors, and create an aromatic blend of juices for gravy. Let’s talk turkey Fresh is always best, but if you go the other route, never put a frozen turkey in the oven unless you are cooking it for Christmas dinner. The best way to thaw the bird is in the refrigerator, breast side up in a shallow pan, in its original wrapper allowing 24 hours for every four pounds. Massage the skin with virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Or do a dry rub instead of liquid brine by seasoning with 1/3 cup of kosher salt and an herb blend, and letting it marinate overnight for a tender, juicy bird. It’s about time

While cooking times will vary depending on whether you purchased a fresh or frozen bird, generally for a frozen defrosted one, allow 20 minutes per pound, while a fresh 10 to 15 minutes per pound at a moderate 350 degree F oven. In addition, a stuffed turkey will need extra roasting time, around 25 to 30 minutes per pound. Tent the bird with aluminum foil or parchment paper to prevent overbrowning. Only open the oven about 30 to 45 minutes before ETA, and remove the foil or parchment paper to allow it to brown nicely. A meat thermometer is a great gadget to check for doneness. Stick the thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone. When the temperature reaches 180 degrees F, the bird is done. Also test the stuffing temperature, which must reach 165 degrees F for doneness. If you don’t have a thermometer, use the old school method of joint jiggling and juice testing. Pierce the thigh with a knife, and if the juices run clear, then it’s done. Also, the joints should wiggle freely. Let the turkey take a nap for 20 minutes after removing it from the oven so the juices settle in, for easier carving. I’ll drink to that With 15 minutes to go on the clock, brush the bird generously with white vermouth to give a golden glaze thanks to the sugars in this fortified wine.

Author to speak at next free monthly lecture on mental health On Dec. 5, the International Bipolar Foundation will hold its free mental health lecture series and book signing with author Karen Winters Schwartz. Schwartz is an active board member of NAMI Syracuse and has traveled throughout the country advocating for mental illness awareness. “Where Are the Cocoa Puffs?: A Family’s Journey Through Bipolar Disorder� is her debut novel which was released in September 2010. Her second novel: “Reis’s Pieces: Love, Loss, and Schizophrenia� was released in May 2012. Among her numerous family members who have dealt with some sort of neurobiological brain disorder are her two beautiful daughters, both of whom struggled greatly as adolescents, both of whom were labeled with an axis I diagnosis, one with bipolar, the other with schizophrenia. They are both now in recovery and doing wonderfully. Mental illness may begin with the individual, but it ultimately affects families and communities. These effects are partly due to stigma stemming from ignorance and fear. Schwartz will discuss the derailment of her own family by mental illness, and how her ignorance and the lack of support made the journey to recovery more difficult. She’ll share her thoughts on decreasing stigma, increasing education, and eliciting empathy—thus smoothing out the road to recovery. New location: Janssen R&D, LLC, 3210 Merryfield Row San Diego, CA 92121; Doors open at 5:45 p.m., Lecture begins promptly at 6 p.m. R.S.V.P Required ajacobs@InternationalBipolarFoundation.org; Event and parking are free.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Wink Optometry & Eyewear in Del Mar offers a variety of services and products BY KRISTINA HOUCK Many diseases such as diabetes, cancer and multiple sclerosis can go undetected, but early signs can be spotted in the eyes. Through her comprehensive eye examinations, board certified optometrist Dr. Puneh Baha has detected a variety of diseases and viruses in her patients during her 13 years of practice. “The eyes are kind of like the window to your soul,” said Baha, who can begin treatment or refer patients to their primary physicians for further evaluation, depending on the diagnosis. “We can pick up so many things in the eyes.” After a decade in optometry, Baha opened her own practice in Del Mar in February 2011. Located in the Albertsons supermarket shopping center on Via de la Valle, Wink Optometry & Eyewear offers diagnosis and management of ocular disease, treatment for eye infections, pediatric optometry, contact lens evaluation and fitting, evaluations for LASIK and cataract and glaucoma surgery, as well as routine vision checks. The 1,100-square-foot location also features designer-label frames such as Dior, Gucci and Fendi, and the very latest in fashion frames from designers such as Tom Ford. “I wanted this to be a service-oriented place where patients could understand how important their eyes are,” Baha said. “In general, people think their vision is only being able to see the 20/20 line, but it’s much more than that. I just want to make sure that people understand the importance of getting exams, so we try to educate as much as we can

Dr. Puneh Baha. Courtesy photo here.” Promoting prevention, Baha recommends annual eye exams. It’s also critical to examine children’s eyes from an early age, she said. Baha begins seeing children at age 2 because undetected problems could result in eyes that become lazy with amblyopia, which she said can’t be corrected after

the age of 7. A mother to 7-year-old twin boys and a 6-year-old daughter, Baha has checked her own children’s eyes since they were 6 months old. Baha’s first eye exam when she was 8 years old sparked her interest in optometry. “By that time, I was very nearsighted and my parents didn’t really know,” she said. “I thought that the leaves on trees were just in my coloring books until they gave me glasses. “Kids are so important because it’s tough for them to know what clear looks like if they’ve never seen it.” A native Californian, Baha grew up in Agoura Hills. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biology at California State University, Northridge, where she researched retinoblastoma, a congenital cancer of the eye. In 2000, she earned her doctorate degree at the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, along with an additional bachelor’s degree in visual science. Baha began her career at LensCrafters in Escondido, and then worked at a few different private practices throughout the county. Nearly three years ago, Baha’s husband, a real estate broker, helped her find the loca-

tion where she opened Wink Optometry & Eyewear. Baha launched her practice with no patients, and has now seen many patients for about three years. Her stock of roughly 200 frames has grown to almost 700 frames. She also employs three opticians. “I love what I do,” said Baha, who has served as an examiner for the National Board of Examiners in Optometry and is currently a member of the San Diego Optometric Society. “I think that when a patient is sitting in my chair, they definitely feel that. “For myself, I would want to go to a doctor who loves what they do because I know that they’re going to take every bit of care to make sure that they not only look at my eyes, but look at me as a whole.” Wink Optometry & Eyewear is located at 2673 Via de la Valle, Suites E and F.

21st Gold Diggers ‘Hats Off to San Diego: There’s No Place Like Home’ event will benefit The Polinsky Children’s Center The Gold (Gifts of Loving Donors) Diggers of San Diego and their friends will gather at Hotel Del Coronado on April 4, 2014 for the 21st edition of “Hats Off to San Diego” their signature annual fundraiser. The major beneficiary of the event will be the Polinsky Children’s Center Auxiliary. The Gold Diggers have aligned themselves with the 75th Anniversary of the premier of “The Wizard of Oz” that rolls around in 2014. The fundraising Gold Diggers also recognize that the 125-year-old Hotel Del Coronado claims an enduring connection to the classic creations of L. Frank Baum, who made “the Del” his home while continuing his Oz series. “There’s No Place Like Home” was chosen as a theme that would blend the charitable goals of the group, which lists children and their caregivers first in their mission statement, with nostalgia for the much loved motion picture. The A.B. and Jessie Polinsky Children’s Center is a temporary emergency home overseen by San Diego County for children who must be separated from their families for their own safety, and fits in exactly with the spirit of “There’s No Place Like Home.” On that afternoon there will also be a select group of local charities that will compete for cash prizes to benefit their causes in the Betty Mabee Hat Parade. They will create eyecatching headgear that will reflect the Gold Diggers’ 2014 theme combined with the goals of their organizations. The ticket price for the luncheon event that kicks off with a champagne reception at 10:30 a.m. will be $100. Sandra Graff is the chair of the 2014 event. She can be reached at (619) 475-0551. Holly Smith Jones is the current president of The Gold Diggers of San Diego. She can be reached at (858) 755-8446.

San Diego Pros team up to help Philippine disaster victims at local event Nov. 22-23 A group of local professional athletes will rally together to support Philippine disaster victims, and they’re asking San Diego residents to help with donations of food, summer clothing, toiletries or monetary gifts for the Red Cross and Catholic relief services. One of the most devastating storms to ever make landfall, Typhoon Haiyan has affected the lives of 10 million people and caused more than 4,000 casualties, according to U.N. estimates. Organized by San Diego residents Karen Moyer and her husband, former World Series Champion pitcher Jamie Moyer, the donation drive will be held on Friday, Nov. 22, and Saturday, Nov. 23, from 7 a.m to 7 p.m, at the St. Therese of Carmel Church parking lot in Carmel Valley. Jamie Moyer, former Padres ace Trevor Hoffman, and former San Diego Charger John Carney will be among the pros on hand collecting donations at various times throughout the two-day drive. Please see below for specifics regarding acceptable donations. “Disasters like this are as overwhelming as they are heartbreaking,� said Karen Moyer, co-founder and vice president of the Moyer Foundation. “But every little bit really does help. So we’re doing what we can as a community here in San Diego to make a difference.� The Moyers have organized similar and successful donation drives in the past. In response to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Karen and Jamie worked with the Seattle Mariners to fill a tractor-trailer with donations at Safeco Field. They hosted a similar event during Philadelphia Phillies spring training for victims of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The 50-plus-foot trailer and logistics assistance for this weekend’s donation drive is being provided by Alexander’s Mobility Services and Atlas Van Lines, with the help of The Dingman Group, Inc. St Therese of Carmel Church parking lot: 4355 Del Mar Trails Road, San Diego, CA, 92130 (Carmel Valley).

Join the fun: Indoor paintball facility opens off Miramar Road Driving long distances to play paintball is a thing of the past. A rained out paintball birthday party isn’t a worry anymore. Indoor paintball has come to San Diego in a central location off Miramar Road. San Diego Paintball Park (SDPP) opened its doors on Saturday, Nov. 16, with a Grand Opening Event in its 12,000-square-foot facility designed to provide hours of fun for all ages. According to SDPP operator and Carmel Valley resident Bryan Clark, “One of the unique things about our park is that we are open six days a week. That means we can accommodate after-school birthday parties, weekday corporate events, and after-work bachelor parties. You aren’t limited to hosting a paintball party on a weekend day.” Clark recommends requesting “Low Impact” paintball sessions for birthday parties and corporate events to reduce the impact to novice players on the field. Low impact (.50 caliber) paintballs produce 60-75 percent less impact than regular paintballs, but are just as accurate. SDPP offers regular paintball on Saturday and Sunday, and reball Tuesday through Friday. Hours are Tuesday-Thursday (4 p.m.-8 p.m.), Friday (noon-9 p.m.), Saturday-Sunday (8 a.m.-9 p.m.). Online reservations ensure that you get the most out of your playing experience by limiting the number of players for each session. Bring your own “team” of 5-7 players or join in a team put together with the help of the field referees. Referees will help match up teams with similar skill sets to increase your enjoyment. SDPP is a family-friendly facility with the goal of introducing more people to the awesome sport of paintball. SDPP also offers a high-quality rental equipment package, indoor staging area, professional turf, membership program, and a video game room. To reserve a party of 15 or more, call to set up your preferred date and time. San Diego Paintball Park is offering $5 off the

SD Jewish Academy hosting community-wide Craft Fair Nov. 24 to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines “While the entire world witnessed the complete devastation brought to the Philippines by Typhoon Haiyan,� said Alan Rusonik, San Diego Jewish Academy’s Director Judaic Studies, “my students were approaching me asking, ‘What are we going to do?’ Whether or not we would do something, was never a question.� The answer to their question is San Diego Jewish Academy’s Typhoon Relief Craft Fair. “One of our staff members regularly participates in local craft fairs,� added Rusonik. “She believed all of the vendors she works with would be happy to take part in a relief effort.� She was right. Close to 30 craft vendors have agreed to take part in SDJA’s Typhoon Relief Craft Fair to be held on Sunday, Nov. 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Suggested entry donation is only $5 per person (children under 12 free) and parking is free.

Always freshly baked, cookies are never older than an hour. “Every summer night we had lines all around the building,� Robbins said of their wild summer. With summer moving into fall business has settled down some at the beach but they stay busy catering special events. This fall, they provided ice cream sandwich refreshment at both Canyon Crest and Torrey Pines’ homecomings. “It was wild,� Robbins said. “It was cool to go back to Torrey Pines and there were about 200 kids lined up and no one was dancing.� Stanger had the same scene at Canyon Crest’s homecoming, “They stood in line the whole night, two hours in line,� he marveled. “We made 900 sandwiches in under three

While they are still looking for a North County space, next year The Baked Bear will have a storefront at Petco Park. The Bear had a trial run the last three games of the Padres season last year that went so well they got a permanent spot. The pair are having fun and enjoying their fast and sweet success. “I don’t think we necessarily expected this but I don’t think we would’ve been happy if we hadn’t reached this point, we would’ve fought to get to this point,� Stanger said. “We just reached it sooner than we expected.� The Baked Bear caters to parties and special events with 75 guests or more. They will also do pre-order batches for parties of any size. The Baked Bear is open Monday through Thursday, 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.; and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, call (858) 8867433 or visit thebakedbear. com.

Solana Beach Foundation for Learning kicks off fund drive The Solana Beach Foundation for Learning Annual Fund drive offers parents an opportunity to help kids discover new ideas in science, physical education, art and technology. The Solana Beach Foundation for Learning (SBFL) recently kicked off its Annual Fund Drive to support art, physical education, science, and technology programs in the Solana Beach School District. The Solana Beach School District consists of 3,035 children in six elementary schools, including Carmel Creek, Skyline, Solana Highlands, Solana Pacific, Solana Santa Fe and Solana Vista. SBFL is a nonprofit organization made up of volunteers who raise funds to make it possible for these children to experience and discover new ideas by providing instructional staff, materials, and supplies for hands-on learning in art, science, physical education and technology. “Other local school districts have had to cut science labs, physical education, technology and art programs from their schools,” says SBFL President Bryan Pruden. “But thanks to our continued donations, the kids in the Solana Beach School District are still enjoying these programs.” The Solana Beach Foundation for learning is dedicated to bridging the gap between vital school needs and state funding so as to enrich the educational experience of all the students in the Solana Beach School District. To learn more about SBFL or to contribute, go to www.sbfl.org.”

North County residents can exchange guns for gift cards on Nov. 30 BY KRISTINA HOUCK If you have an unwanted firearm, you can turn it in Nov. 30 and get a gift card in return. Hosted by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, the gun exchange program aims to curb gun violence and prevent firearms from getting into the wrong hands. “It’s important to take guns off the street, so they don’t wind up in the hands of children,” said sheriff’s Lt. Mario Zermeno, who is based in Encinitas and also covers Del Mar, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe. “Sometimes people inherit guns from family members and don’t know what to do with them. Sometimes people have children in the house, so they don’t want guns in the house. This is an opportunity to get rid of unwanted guns.” More than 200 firearms

APN: 266241-20-00 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder`s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 1300101-4. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 6130 El Romero, Rancho Santa Fe, CA The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining unpaid balance of the obligations secured by and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust (together with any modifications thereto). The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $1,226,948.32 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the trustee.
