Local school districts respond to shooting tragedy Teachers never know what role they might have to play in a given day, from providing safety to their students to watching out for their mental health, Bill Freeman, the president of the San Diego Education Association, said Dec. 14 in reference to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. The gunfire killed 20 students and six adult victims. The shooter also died. ``Teachers, their roles don’t stop as
(an instructor),’’ Freeman said. ``Kids look to teachers as parents in some cases, counselors in some cases; and teachers take those roles on because they really know these kids.’’ In response to the shooting, the Del Mar Union School District and Solana Beach School District superintendents issued the following statements on each district’s respective web site: “We are extremely saddened by the

Superintendent Lindy Delaney said, “words don’t express” the gratitude she has on behalf of the district for the work Depolo put in to make the school a better place. “What guided me most was always knowing that it’s about the kids,” Depolo said. “When you keep that in mind everything seems to work out.” Depolo expressed his appreciation for his fellow board members: his colleague for eight years Richard Burdge; “peppy” Marti Ritto who he said is full of energy and gives so much to the school; Todd See BOARD, page 28

Highway 101 project expected to be completed by early June BY JOE TASH A major renovation project along Highway 101 in Solana Beach, which has drawn complaints from business owners because of restricted access for their customers, is expected to be completed by early June rather than in the fall of 2013 as originally projected, city officials and the project’s general contractor said at a workshop meeting held on Monday, Dec. 17. About 14 people attended Monday morning’s meeting at City Hall, where contractor Glen Bullock, City Manager David Ott and the city’s director of engi-
neering and public works, Mohammad Sammak, answered questions and gave updates about the renovation project, which has been underway since summer. Also in attendance were Mayor Mike Nichols and Councilwoman Lesa Heebner. “Unless we get a tsunami this year, I’m committed before the Del Mar Fair… to have substantial completion,” of the project, said Bullock, of general contractor DMI.

Two Torrey Pines High School students are part of a team of women, affiliated with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), who will be running experiments on board the International Space Station. Pooja Bisarya, grade 9, and Meera Kota, grade 10, are part of an exceptional group of women who have been working together to make this happen. Their interest in science was cultivated early, and in 7th grade they joined the San Diego Science Alliance, which led to their affiliation with BE WiSE (Better Education for Women in Science and Engineering). As members of BE WiSE, they were invited to apply to be part of this amazing opportunity. The application was long, and asked for examples of experiments they’ve done in the past, as well as examples of the projects they might do if they were chosen as part of the project team. In August, Pooja and Meera were notified of their selection to be part of the team of 15 San Diego County high school girls who would design and carry out an experiment on the International Space Station. The team started meeting in September and decided on the experiment they would perform and then divided up the jobs needed to accomplish it. The jobs included payload, public relations, communication, documentation, programmer, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Meera and Pooja were selected to work on payload. The experiment they chose was “When alum-saturated solutions are sent into space, will the shape and structure of the crystal differ from the control on earth?� Specifically, melting points will be tested, and an electron microscope will be used to compare to the control. For the experiment, different RGB lights (white, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow) will be programmed to
turn on hourly, and a camera will take a picture. Every three days, the pictures will be sent to the team for review and analysis. The experiment will be going into Meera Kota (10) and space in late Pooja Bisarya (9) Januar y/early February with SpaceX on the Dragon 10 spacecraft, an unmanned vehicle, where it will join with the International Space Station. The experiment will run during the month of March, 2013. Since Pooja wants to be an astrophysicist, she calls her chance to participate in an experiment on the International Space Station “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.� She plans to share her experience with her biology class next spring. Meera enjoys engineering and hopes to get more girls involved in science and engineering. She is currently taking chemistry, and will also share her experience with her class. When asked about this experience, she summed it up saying, “I’m glad I got to send something into space.� Though both girls are incredibly gifted in science, they participate in a wide variety of other activities on campus. Pooja is involved in Model UN, Academic Team, field hockey, and the STEM Club, while Meera enjoys Mock Trial, dance and volunteering, which she finds very rewarding.

Ranch School’s literacy program ahead of many districts to meet Common Core Standards next year BY RSF EDUCATION FOUNDATION Schools across the nation are scrambling to implement the new national Common Core Standards by 2014. For most schools, this is a huge shift from the California state standards that have been in place, particularly in the area of literacy. Fortunately teachers and students at the R. Roger Rowe School (Ranch School) are prepared for the change. This is due to the school’s affiliation with the Columbia University/Teacher’s College Reading and Writing Project and the incredible literacy staff the school enjoys. “We are so far ahead of many districts” noted Maureen Cassarino, one of two literacy coaches and a middle school literacy teacher. The Ranch School’s Literacy Program is enhanced by a grant from the RSF Education Foundation. The grant helps fund two fully credentialed Literacy Coaches to support on-going staff development and five fully credentialed Literacy Support Teachers to reduce the teacher to student ratio to 1:10 each day during the literacy block. This is the ninth year of the literacy support program and the sixth year of literacy coaches to train classroom teachers. “As a teacher who has taught for 30 years in many places in our nation and the world, I have come to realize and appreciate the extraordinary literacy program we have at our school,” remarked 4th Grade Teacher Harriet Joslyn. Reading and writing at the Ranch School Children in K through 4th grade have a one hour reading block each day, as well as writing and phonics or word study at other times of the day. During the reading block a literacy support teacher works with students in the classroom with their grade level teacher. “Having smaller classes with an ‘extra’ teacher in our literacy block allows us to have frequent, timely, substantive feedback and assessment of each student’s work. We have the time to develop individu-
Students at R. Roger Rowe School work with Literacy Support Teacher Katrina Gerace. These students are doing an exercise which involves expanding their vocabulary by creating compound words. al instructional relationships with our students and to devise creative curricula that honor individual learning styles,” noted Joslyn. “The students also have effective interaction with their peers regarding oral and written work and ample time to develop critical and reflective thinking.” Jennifer Overstreet, a new 4th grade teacher who previously taught in the San Diego schools, commented, “With the help of Kim McCowan, my Literacy Support teacher, we are able to constantly monitor my students’ reading abilities and plan lessons based on their areas of need. We are able to meet with every child at least three times a week in a small group setting, where students are provided with strategic instruction. Without a literacy support teacher, I would
only be able to meet with two small groups a day. This means that we can work with over twice as many students in one reading block.” “We are teaching students to be independent,” noted Literacy Coach Lindsey Donaldson. In addition to their structured learning time, students have 30 minutes of independent reading time each day from a book of their choice. Most schools use a Basal reader; a one size fits all anthology with workbook instruction for each grade level. All children at the Ranch School are reading books they choose at their own guided reading level, not reading a set of books that every other child in their grade is reading. In the 5th through 8th grades, students have more minutes of reading and writing than most other middle schools in San Diego County. “In each class we address two strategies and teach points around something everyone can use,” said Cassarino. “For example, in one class we discussed the power of three. How authors tend to group things in three, such as characters or settings. Then when students are reading they start to notice it.” With the Columbia model and small class sizes teachers spend more individual time with students. “I can do small group work. I can talk with my students 1:1 every day and ask them “What are you thinking about this book?’”Cassarino added. “I wish someone had taught me the way I am teaching these students.” What are the new standards? Common Core focuses on fewer standards, but at a much more rigorous level. “They address what students need to know at the college and career readiness level and map it backwards from 12th grade to kindergarten,” noted Cassarino. Previously every state had its own standards. While transitioning to Common Core will take a tremendous amount of dedication and effort on the part of the entire school community, additional staff members such as literacy coaches and literacy support teachers make this work

We would like to introduce two new members of the Union family - Kaylen & Kyrah! We adopted them on 11/22 from the Inyo County Animal Shelter located between Lone Pine and Big Pine on the way to Mammoth Lakes. These two sisters have reminded us that the Holiday Season is one of giving thanks and appreciating blessings. With our daughter off to College (very happily at Cal Poly SLO) and our last dog passing away last January we had a void in our family. By rescuing Kaylen & Kyrah our lives have been so enriched that our favorite line is now "who rescued who"! So, if and when you need a pet, don't forget to visit your local shelter and not only save a life but enrich your own life!
Scott, Kaylin & Erika plus Kaylen & Kyrah, our family wishes yours a… Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and VERY Happy New Year!

To Give or Not to Give: That is Not the Question BY SUE PYKE, MARKETING MANAGER, RSF FOUNDATION The holiday season is a time of increased charitable giving for many people. We have a heightened awareness of needs in the community through the numerous appeals from worthy organizations that fill our mailboxes. The end of the year also is a significant time for people to take advantage of the tax deductions currently available for charitable gifts. However, the negotiations underway in Washington about tax changes set to begin in 2013 are creating uncertainty for many taxpayers about how to approach their 2012 year-end giving. The tax deduction for charitable giving is in danger of being reduced or eliminated as part of these fiscal discussions. In the context of this uncertainty, the question for the 2012 giving season is not whether to give, but rather when and how to give. Do you give in 2012 because you can be certain of how the deductibility of your charitable gift will be treated? Or, do you wait and make the gift in 2013 for a deduction in the context of higher tax rates? Does it make sense to gift appreciated stock, or to accelerate pledge payments in 2012?
These questions are frequent topics of conversation at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. “We recommend that you consult with your tax advisor to determine whether a charitable donation fits with your personal goals and makes tax sense,” says Neil Hokanson, chairman-elect of the Foundation. Many of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation donors have donor-advised funds (DAFs) for their charitable giving. An article that appeared on Dec. 9 in The Wall Street Journal reported that many charitable givers are opening DAFs to make their 2012 yearend donations. The article pointed out the advantages of these funds for 2012 in particular: “If you give regularly, and if you have the financial flexibility to do so, consider increasing your donations this year to capture today’s tax benefits and prefund future gifts.” Opening a DAF is an accessible option for donors, whether you are an experienced philanthropist or new to this journey. By contributing to a DAF, you can obtain a full tax deduction before year-end. Then, you can distribute the money to the nonprofit

San Diego Hospitality students awarded scholarships by Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, San Diego Chapter A future in the hospitality industry is brighter for six San Diego students who received scholarships from the San Diego Chapter of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs to assist with their continuing education. The awards were made at the Wine Spectator’s Celebrity Chef Luncheon which concluded the Ninth Annual San Diego Wine and Food Festival. All together, the Chaîne scholarships totaled $15,000, with $11,000 immediately allocated. Three Chaîne officers presented the checks—Harold Small, the Chaîne’s Executive Vice President for the United States, local chapter president Bailli Ken Loyst, and immediate past president of the San Diego Chapter Steve Pagano. Funds are raised annually at the Festival. Students who received stipends only from the Chaîne are Stephanie Gosselin, Rebecca Romero, and Magdarline Winblad. Gosselin, 25, the Catering Coordinator of La Jolla Shores Hotel, is pursuing certification in The Business of Wine at San Diego State University. She has passed the Court of Master Sommeliers Introductory test and is working towards becoming a Certified Sommelier. A sophomore at San Diego State University, Romero, 19, is studying Hospitality and Tourism Management. She also works as Guest Service Agent, Front Desk, at the Courtyard Marriott in Mission Valley. Winblad, 40, previously worked in the health care industry. A freshman at San Diego Mesa College, she has her sights set on an Associate Degree with certification in culinary arts. She is currently a prep cook at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, but her ambition is to open a Caribbean restaurant in San Diego and “eventually, around the world.” The San Diego Chaîne also provided scholarships to three aspiring hospitality students who, in addition, received funds from the San Diego Chapter of the American Insti-

Former TPHS star leads Tufts to NCAA Title Former Torrey Pines star Chelsea Yogerst helped lead Tufts University to the 2012 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III field hockey championship in November. The Jumbos defeated Montclair State 2-1 in the final, played at Geneva in upstate New York, to a cap a Cinderella run for the national title that saw them upset a number of higher ranked teams. Tufts finished the season with 19 wins and only two losses, but many of the victories were nail-biters decided in overtime or by just one goal. Yogerst topped the team in scoring with 13 goals and 27 overall points – the junior forward’s best stats in nine seasons of field hockey going back to seventh grade at Carmel Valley Middle School. She scored in three of the team’s five NCAA playoff games and seven out of eight straight games leading up to the Final Four. After finishing second in their conference (NESCAC) to No. 1 ranked Middlebury and hovering at the lower end of the top 10 all season, nobody expected the Jumbos to make the Final Four, let alone take the whole thing. Tufts started its championship campaign with an 8-0 win over Castleton State in a driving snowstorm on the

Jumbos home field near Boston. In the Sweet Sixteen, Tufts pulled off a 4-2 upset of No. 9 ranked William Smith. Then they booked their spot in the Final Four with a 2-1 upset over former national champ and No. 6 ranked Bowdoin. The Jumbos swept past DePauw 2-0 in the national semifinal and then took on No. 2 ranked Montclair State in the final. Tufts fell behind 0-1 early, but rallied for two second half goals to take the national trophy back to Boston. Four other Tufts players hail from California, including Solana Beach native Brittany Norfleet, who played her freshman and sophomore years at Torrey Pines before finishing high school back east, and La Jolla native Lia Sagerman, who played her high school ball at Bishop’s.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
From RSF dinner parties to celebrity chef competitions, Anna ‘Naturalista’ is on a mission to heal BY CLAIRE HARLIN At the age of 8, Anna Allen endured having her back and knees broken when a gate support beam fell on her head and spine, and doctors told her she would have to take medication the rest of her life and never be able to walk normally. It was only a few years later, at age 11, when Allen endured a severe car accident, and in the years after that she experienced another car accident, a severe case of bronchitis, chronic migraines and walking pneumonia. She also developed fibromyalgia and anaphylaxis, a condition that almost killed her at age 23 when she consumed lobster that she didn’t know had been cooked in milk. These incidents and health issues are diverse and span more than half of the 36-year-old’s life, but she said they all have one overarching thing in common — they were healed independently without medicine and with meditation, lifestyle changes and, more importantly, diet. “I wanted to prove to everyone the doctors were wrong,” said Allen, remembering the attitude she had nearly 30 years ago toward her first tragic accident. Raised in a vegetarian family that encouraged meditation, she said she learned early on that the mind could not only help her escape pain, but it also had the power to heal her injuries when she was physically unable to walk. “Through breathing exercises and meditation I could visualize the exercises I couldn’t do at the time, and I was reprogramming my brain to think my body is not broken, and changing the storyline of my brain made me able to recreate my cellular memory structure,” Allen said. Allen has coached locals through the same practices, and her story of an outer body experience during the two minutes her heart stopped after that dairy scare more than 10 years ago is published in the best-selling book, “Defining Moments of Courage.” But most San Diegans have come to know Allen as a celebrity chef. Better known as Anna Naturalista, Allen has for more than two years been holding healthy dinner demonstrations at private parties and big fundraising events in Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla and other areas. She’s even led her clients on health food field trips
Anna “Naturalista” Allen stands center with her team of “chefettes” at a private dinner demonstration on Dec. 14 in Rancho Santa Fe. Photo: Claire Harlin through the aisles of Jimbo’s in the Del Mar Highlands. The local resident is the star of Naturalista TV, an online channel set to launch next spring on Sony BlueRay TV and on her website, www.AnnaNaturalista.com. She was led to that role after winning the title of “top chef” in May at the statewide Orange County Tastefest Celebrity Chef Challenge, a competition to create the best tasting healthy cuisine that’s replicable at home. Not only did she get the top honor, but she raked in first place awards in almost every other category — best appetizer salad, best entree and best dessert. Unlike the other competing chefs who wore white chef coats, Allen and her team of “chefettes” wore lacy, handmade aprons, putting a smile on the face of the judges panel, which included two chefs from Food Network’s “Private Chefs of Beverly Hills, as well as Chef Josie Smith-Malave from Bravo’s “Top Chef.” Allen mainly spends her time, however, assisting her clients through private lifestyle and diet coaching, as well as
holding private dinners. She’s taken on clients with various debilitating conditions and adapted diet and exercise plans for them to turn their health around. She also gives classes and is working on two books, a cookbook and a wellness guide that touches on topics such as personal care, keeping a healthy home, pet health, food, gardening and sustainability. Allen wears many hats, but there’s a central source of inspiration in everything she does — healing. “I became my own living example,” said Allen. “My career naturally happened by way of people watching me and saying, “Oh my God, what did you do? You don’t have your cane or your neck brace anymore.” And she said her mission to heal means shifting consciousness from conventional, processed decision making to healthier, more sustainable living. “I’m not trying to convert anyone to raw or vegan or anything like that,” she said. “I’m trying to get people to understand that healthy nutrition is absolutely delicious and that you can enjoy health with ease and grace.” To see Anna Naturalista in action, visit her next event, on Jan. 27 at 11 a.m. at La Jolla’s Harvard Cookie Girl (7441 Girard Avenue, La Jolla, 92037; www.harvardcookingirl. com) or for more information, visit www.AnnaNaturalista. com.

Patriot Profiles: ‘Maybe you can look back and smile or say, ‘Wow — that was close’
This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.
BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Few symbols are more iconic than a Purple Heart medal awarded to American service members wounded in battle. Nearly two million have been awarded since World War I. During a routine patrol in Fallujah, Iraq, 2004, Gunnery Sergeant Joseph Abraham Alvarez was to about to be included in the list of Purple Heart recipients. As a young kid, Alvarez got a good look into what a Marine does. “I saw my buddy’s dad lay out all his gear getting ready for deployment and thought ‘It’s really neat to go out and do something for your country.’” The aura of this Marine is what compelled him to take the leap. His mantle of duty and sacrifice stayed with Alvarez as he experienced intense combat and has helped make him the man he is today. Alvarez, of Spanish descent and a native Californian from Anaheim, remembers, “All I wanted to do was be in the Infantry,” adding, “I thought about all the cool gadgets and the cool things they get to do with them and that led the way.” When Alvarez joined up his better-than-average physi-
cal abilities, enthusiastic drive and dedication, and the way he held his head up were noticed, which landed him in scout sniper indoctrination training. That three-week course was one of the hardest things he’d done in life and led him into situations most of us would never want to experience. During a close quarter encounter, Alvarez’s sniper team entered a house in Fallujah, clearing room to room. “The enemy was two feet in front of you. He [the enemy] threw a grenade and my leg caught some of the shrapnel. My left lower calf was bleeding as we continued clearing the house. Once we were done, I was extracted to a hospital and treated for my wounds.” It took time and patience for Alvarez to learn all the weapons systems a scout sniper may use, including light medium machine guns, antitank rockets, and squad automatic weapons. A Marine Infantryman dons an 80-90pound survival pack, plus weapon and cannot count on getting a ride anywhere. “Believe me, it’s never comfortable — you just get used to it.” Each mission demands extreme caution handling operational information. “While we listen to the enemy they are listening to us as well, in order to adapt and
get one step ahead to meet their objective”, says Alvarez, adding, “We always practice operational security to keep everyone safe.” Even communicating to loved ones across the ocean requires caution. “It’s not always secure, because of the way it’s transmitted.” Alvarez graduated with honors in most programs due, in part, to growing up with four brothers. “We were very competitive, driving each other to do better. It wasn’t as much ‘me verses him’ but more ‘go ahead, you can do it. It’s going to be fine.’” War, we know, is not always fine. A lot of complexities accompany political and military strategies. Gunny Alvarez, respectfully nicknamed, joined 2nd Battalion 1st Marines out of Camp Pendleton on his first Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF) deployment as a scout sniper. “We ended up in a platoon analyzing the map and area of interest. Most of my missions took place at night, overseeing and patrolling territories the Marines had taken over. We had to bring back useful and appropriate information for the company commander to task out his troops to better operate in the area.” Sporting a long-range rifle, Alvarez was able to engage the enemy at farther distances

and provide an enhanced overwatch capability for Marine forces. Alvarez relates, “The enemy couldn’t see us or catch us. We were difficult to detect under any observation. Knowing we were out there makes the enemy fearful. “In dangerous situations, you appreciate that guy next to you, because he may not always be there. The relationships you forge under such circumstances make you appreciate the smaller things in life.” On subsequent deployments to Fallujah during OIF, he was part of a Marine Expe-
ditionary Unit that ran missions anywhere the commanding General needed them, including the successful offensive Operation Steel Curtain. “Stress is a constant element out there. Mentally, how you deal with a situation sets you apart. When we train, you are put through a degree higher than what is expected in combat.” When I spoke with Joseph, he was deployed aboard the USS Iwo Jima amphibious assault ship sailing in the Arabian Sea. As a Gunnery Sergeant, he commands an Infantry platoon of 45 Marines. “I concentrate on keeping my Marines alive — teaching everything I can from my experiences in life and overall as a Marine.” On the ship, they do a lot of close quarter drills, drawing tactical scenarios on the ship floor. “You have to be patient and creative, so your men can stay proficient and ready.” Ship training in mock set-ups marries with ground training that affords live ammunition and moving targets. “We started out in Jordan, supporting the Jordanian military. “It was an experience like no other,” Alvarez said. “I got to see Jordanian tactics, learn some of their language and culture.” In turn, they shared some of their personal stories. “Our guys helped the
19
Royal Moroccan Army as well,” he said. “We learned about them and they learned about us. That helps build the relationship Marines have in the world.” The Iwo Jima went on to Kuwait. “What made Kuwait great is we had shooting houses,” Alvarez said. “We could go in the buildings and shoot. It’s something you don’t normally find anywhere else in the world.” The firing ranges in Kuwait are a plus with less wait time to use and limitless space out in the desert. “We can employ any weapons system out there to its fullest capacity.” Alvarez reflects on that day he earned the Purple Heart, facing a hateful assassin in the house in Fallujah. “The Marines in front of me saw the grenade. They took the best measures possible in order for me to survive. I’m a religious man and I felt God that day. Didn’t think I was going to make it.” For 12 years, Alvarez has been no “sunshine patriot.” He wears the Marine Corps aura, “Even when tough times come aground, you work through it. Maybe you can look back and smile or say, ‘Wow — that was close.’” War is a refiner’s fire for young men with dreams and passions. It leaves in its ash the diamonds.

PROGRAM continued from page 4 easier to accomplish than in many other districts. The focus on the common standards should simplify things as well. “I love it,” added Cassarino. “It takes a lot of guess work out of it.” Greater emphasis on informational text in reading and writing Donaldson said, “With Common Core the biggest challenge will be in the shift to reading 50 percent informational text and 50 percent narrative. The reading will be very analytical.” In the past the students have read a smaller percentage of informational text and had to relate what they thought about it. “With Common Core, students need to know what the author is really trying to teach and what ways he is trying to teach it,” she added. There is a deepening level of instruction. “By the 6th grade, students are expected to find multiple ideas and find evidence to support those ideas by citing examples from text and across texts.” Middle school students will also have greater emphasis on non-fiction. Eighth grade students are working on a non-fiction unit this month. They are
Rancho Santa Fe Review reading books about the Holocaust and can choose their own books from historical fiction, memoirs or non-fiction. “The goal is for students to read 250 pages per week at the 8th grade level,” noted Cassarino. Several years ago middle school students were reading six books per year in their language arts class. She added, “My kids are engaged. That’s the magic!” Shift in what students write The volume of writing also increases with Common Core. Students will now be required to do process pieces, short on demand pieces, as well as revise and edit their writing with a partner and independently. Writing at all grade levels will be split equally between narrative, informational (non-fiction), and opinion/persuasive. There are all new writing units. Currently, 8th graders are writing non-fiction books. At the middle school level students learn literary analysis. Cassarino elaborated, “They need to come up with thesis statements, compare and contrast text, cite text and write essays.” The good news is that we are closer to Common Core than many districts because of the way we have worked with our
students to date. Training teachers for Common Core As literacy coaches, Donaldson and Cassarino work one on one with each teacher on an area of choice as well as with each grade level team. For example, with Common Core there are new informational text standards for the fifth graders. “The teachers have to think about and teach differently,” noted Donaldson. “As teachers we have to think about ourselves as readers. As part of a professional development workshop for the fifth grade teachers, we are reading an article together and practicing the skill the children have to master,” she added. Overstreet commented “For the first month of school Lindsey Donaldson was in my room every day to help me properly launch reading and writing workshop. Her expertise and guidance enabled me to set a solid foundation for the reading and writing work that will be taking place in my classroom for the rest of the year. Every teacher here has access to a group of reading and writing experts that are here to support us and the students in any way they can. Each grade level

Your Family Matters: Trauma recovery in children BY DR. KEITH KANNER As the days pass from last Friday’s school shooting tragedy, healing is a necessity for children to move forward in their lives. The healing process is a sequential process including a variety of emotions such as shock, denial, anger, Dr. Keith Kanner sadness, bargaining, and eventually acceptance. In the old days, it was believed that the emotional roller coaster runs a predicable course, but more current research indicates otherwise. Typically the first month after an experienced trauma, the various emotions mentioned above can change at any given time. This is the case in both adults and in children and teenagers alike. The major difference is how the younger minds process tragedy differently than adults. In particular, the younger the child, the more immature the child is in dealing with horror. For example, most young children, such as the survivors at Sandy Hook, will likely experience nightmares, acute fears, have lots of questions, and will want and look for extra protection from their parents and loved ones. The closer a child or adult is to the actual trauma, the more intense the experience and the longer recovery will take. However, anyone recently who has experienced trauma or has had similar traumas, such as other previous school shooting survivors, will likely experience some post traumatic re-experiences. Some import variables to keep in mind that will help in the recovery of trauma, especially in children, will aid in their recovery. These include the following: 1. Be available for your child to talk
with you about their feelings and encourage them and reinforce them sharing. 2. Emphasize the fact that you will protect them at all times. 3. Remember to review with your kids that despite the horror in this case, school shootings are very rare and not likely to happen to them. In fact, statistics do teach is that there is a greater chance of being struck by lightening then being killed at school. 4. Be sure to assure them that most people are good and nice, and people like the shooter at Sandy Hook are very sick and did not get the help they needed. Assure them that as a country, we will be doing a better job at preventing future events such as this one. 5. Keep them on their daily routine – this is very important – even if they are afraid to go to school, encourage them to go. Provided no new traumas are introduced, the healing process can take between a month and six weeks before acute symptoms such as nightmares, bed wetting, or acute fears, reduce and the child or adult returns to their previous level of functioning. The role of the parent is to be strong, loving and leading, which paves the road for a healthy recovery. Parental love really does make it all better.

TPHS dominates Saints on sloggy rugby pitch
TPHS Falcon football players named to All-CIF, All League teams BY TIM PICKWELL Thirteen Torrey Pines High School Varsity Football Players received All-Palomar League Honors for the recently concluded 2012 season, and the team also handed out several awards at its Dec. 11 banquet at the Marriott Hotel in Carmel Valley. University of Arizona-Bound Offensive Tackle Jacob Alsadek (6’ 8”, 330 LB’s) was named to the All-San Diego County CIF Team (2nd Team), the All-North County Team (2nd Team), and was a 1st Team All-Palomar League Selection.

Sean Haratyk (#84) and Jonathan Honors, and was named by the team as Raby (#42) are also shown closing in during its “Defensive Lineman of the Year.” Mc- the Falcon’s Sept. 7, 2012 victory over the Gahey, led an active Defensive Line with Dons. Photo/Anna Scipione 52 solo tackles, 69 assists, 9 sacks, and 13 Tackles-for-loss. McGahey racked up a team-leading 173 tackle-points. As highlighted at the banquet by several coaches, solid play on both the offensive and defensive Lines was critical in the Falcons 6-6 season. The 2012 team became the first in the history of the school to defeat rivals Cathedral Catholic (24-17) and La Costa Canyon (24-17) in the same season. The squad defeated Escondido, 42-7 in the first round of the CIF Division I playoffs, before losing in the quarterfinal round, 28-10, to eventual Champions Eastlake High School (Chula Vista). The defense held opponents without a score three times, and allowed an average of only 15.3 points per game. Senior Linebackers Miles Ahles (second on team with 166 tackle points) and Jack Condon (third with 119) were also All-Palomar League 2nd Team Selections. 3-year Varsity starter Cole Jaczko (RB/Safety) was also named to the All-Palomar League 2nd Team. This is Jaczko’s second year in a row being selected for All-League Honors. Ahles and Jaczko were named 2012 “Captains” by their teammates, while Ahles also earned team honors as Defensive Back of the Year. The team used an experienced offensive line, led by Alsadek, to run a ball-control offense that averaged over 5 yards per carry for the season (2,425 rushing yards total). Senior linemen Jake Ashby and Andrew Maneval were 2nd Team All-Palomar League selections, along with running backs Mark Detrow and Chase Pickwell. Detrow had two knee surgeries in 2011, and missed Spring Football, Summer Passing League, and much of the August two-a-days. He started the season as a reserve running back and defender, but finished as a two-way starter. Coaches named him the “Most Improved Player” for his impressive comeback from injury. Senior Chase Pickwell (1,009 yards rushing on 155 carries) led the team in touchdowns and was named “O-Back of the Year” and was also voted Most Valuable Player by his teammates. Earning Honorable Mention All-Palomar League Honors were seniors Mike Cox (DLine) and Jackson Gentes (WR/CB), junior Kyle Ashby (LB), and sophomore WR/CB Jack Bailey. Bailey led the team in receptions (20), receiving yards (315), yards per catch (15.75) and yards per run (8.8 per carry on 11 rushes). The team awarded the Dennis M. Bradley Memorial Award for character and inspiration to Jake Ashby and Jack Condon. Running back/punt returner Dillon Loyek earned “Scout Player of the Week” Honors seven times during the regular season for his efforts in emulating opposing offenses. So, it was no surprise when he was awarded “Scout Player of the Year.”

score, as did Senior Center Chase Pickwell, and rookie Senior Dillon Loyek, a recent Varsity football player. “This team worried me, especially after our sloppy effort last week,” said Head Coach Matty Sandoval. “And I don’t mean St. Augustine. However our boys paid great attention in practice, and executed our game plan perfectly. If we play every game like we did today, this group can be very special.” Kicker Alec Mills rebounded from last week’s slow start, and hit on a number of difficult conversions. In rugby, the “point-after-attempt” is not placed in front of the goal posts, but is placed based on where the try (i.e. “touchdown”) was scored. A score in the corner of the try zone can make for a technically challenging angle kick. Mills showed power and aim in converting 7 out of 9 kicks. The defense was paced by senior Jonathon Raby, who was all over the field making tackles and disrupting the Saints offense. He may have been inspired by the presence of the St. Mary’s College coaches. St. Mary’s is a collegiate rugby powerhouse, and on the short list of college programs Raby is looking to attend. Mike Cox, another experienced TP forward lent his always steady hand in setting up the defense, and recycling the ball in the rucks. Beefy, hard-hitting newcomer Miles Ahles looks to be a natural born rugger, after earning his first start. Torrey Pines will take a breather for the Christmas Holiday break, and resume play Jan. 5 against Point Loma High School. Although every team is a test, Cathedral Catholic looms ahead also starting the season 2-0. That game will be hosted by CCHS on Jan. 19.

CONVOY ST
BY TIM PICKWELL The rain let up early Saturday morning, but the Torrey Pines Rugby Club never did. They were relentless in pounding St. Augustine, 48-7, in a San Diego Section, Gold Division, High School Rugby match. The game was played at OMBAC’s hidden gem of a field next to the San Diego River Bed in a far corner of the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot. The water table at “The Little Q” is just a few inches below the manicured pitch, making for a muddy, slow field. But, Torrey Pines’ young and energetic forwards were able to defend the middle of the pitch and get the ball out quickly to a series of fleet backs. Senior Wing Michael Cahill took a pitch from Fullback Bernardo Olivas, and streaked down the left side of the field for the first score. A few minutes later, Cahill did it again to put the Torrey Pines squad up by two trys. After a lapse on offense gave the Saints an interception and a quick, cheap score, it was the other Wing, Junior Jake Goana, who took a pitch, turned the corner, and ran for a long try. The forward pack kept St. Augustine’s larger forwards from getting any momentum, repelling every advantage at the point of tackle. Rugby, unlike football, is continuous play and the ball carrier can keep the play alive by presenting the ball to a larger teammate from the turf. This is called a ruck, and makes for an exciting, albeit tense struggle between the forwards. The experienced Saints dominated the line-outs, but the Torrey Pines pack pushed the Saints off the ball all day in the scrums. The real advantage was in the backline, as the Torrey Pines backs proved more athletic as the game wore on. Scrum Half Seth Hill added a

Education Matters/Opinion – Twenty dead children have to matter BY MARSHA SUTTON Y e t again. W a s there anyMarsha Sutton o n e who did not walk around in a daze last Friday, thinking about the children in their lives and how to protect them forever from random acts of incomprehensible violence? The anguish of the parents of those 20 innocent 6and 7-year-old children gunned down in Connecticut is unimaginable. And yet we imagine … and what we come up with is emptiness, anger, despair, hopelessness, loneliness and fear. And still all that is not enough, not nearly enough, to fully understand the pain. Trying to maintain equilibrium while finishing errands Friday, glued to the radio for more news, I tore myself away and wandered into the Carmel Valley Library to return a book. Meeting the eyes of other adults, some clinging tightly to their children, there were no smiles or pleasant greetings. Words were not necessary to communicate the shared horror.
We have turned this country into a madhouse with deranged, and armed, inmates loose upon society. I’m certain the founders of this country did not foresee this possibility when they wrote the Second Amendment. More than 11,000 homicides by firearms were recorded in this country last year, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Division of Vital Statistics. And since the Columbine killings in 1999, we have suffered through more than 30 mass murders, many at schools. The words – “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” – must have sounded good at the time, a time when America’s founders understood how fragile their new democratic government was and how easily liberty and freedom can be stolen by tyranny, given the pages of history. Protecting the people from autocratic dictators, both externally and from within, by allowing citizens to be armed, was right then. But what a monster we have created. Why do people need as-
sault weapons? Are people so paranoid and insecure that they feel the need to “protect” themselves with weapons that turn living tissue into mincemeat in seconds? Some of these children had up to 11 bullets in them. Eleven! How many bullets does it take to kill a defenseless 6-year-old? There are those who now argue that the crazy people have easy access to guns so the sane people need more guns to protect themselves. A “vicious cycle” doesn’t begin to describe the insanity of this line of reasoning. Yes, there will always be the unhinged who find ways to get guns even with stricter controls. But we cannot allow ourselves to become paralyzed into inaction just because we can’t control every violent act. At least we could stop some. Nothing will change unless the gun zealots back off the warped mentality of the “from my cold, dead hands” Charlton Heston sloganeering and wake up to the reality their intransigence has helped to create. Catchy slogans – “guns don’t kill people; people kill people” and “when guns are outlawed,
JUST IN!!
only outlaws will have guns” – trivialize and demean the seriousness of the problem we must confront as a nation in mourning. Fortress America After each massacre, the public hears the admonition from falsely contrite gun lovers that now is not the time talk about gun control but is the time to come together and comfort one another. The U-T San Diego, in an editorial just after the shooting, stated, “We should hold off before we settle into our usual back and forth about gun control, violence in pop culture, and what these mass murders say about America.” Hold off? Until when? Suggesting that we do the victims a disservice by focusing on anything but their grief is a disingenuous attempt to divert and distract the public from one of the most pressing issues we face in this country. A discussion about finding solutions to the basic problem, apparently, has no place in the public discourse until some sort of artificially established “grief waiting period” has passed. But no amount of time can ever pass for these families to end their
grieving. When exactly would be a good time to talk about gun control and what the proliferation of assault weapons and high-power ammunition means to our country? If not now, when? Some have said it’s not a gun problem, that instead we need faster interventions and better treatment of those with severe mental disorders. But it’s not one or the other – it’s both, and probably a whole lot more as well. Enforce stricter gun laws, and identify and treat the mentally disturbed. But in the meantime, we need protection. Because until we can turn this around (if ever), we must acknowledge that we have become Fortress America and find ways to keep our children safe. That may mean security gates at schools, metal detectors, backpack checks, armed guards. We have bags checked at airports, government buildings, many museums and historical sites. Should we leave our children more vulnerable than airplane passengers? Some say it turns our country’s public spaces and facilities into prisons, with gates and metal detectors,
and “gives in” to the violence. Some say we must live free and that freedom is more important that protecting against the random violence of lunatics. But “Live free or die” was not meant to apply to vulnerable children with no way to protect themselves from senseless slaughter. A tipping point at last? Last Friday night, I saw The Hobbit at a large movie cineplex in Mira Mesa. With Sandy Hook Elementary on everyone’s minds, and the theater shooting in Aurora still fresh, would movie-goers have objected to a bag search? Not in the least. Of course determined crazies can get in anywhere. They can scale a fence, shoot their way through a locked door or gate, break through windows. But we can at least try to make it harder for them to access and kill peaceful people gathered together in public places. Locally, how about banning the gun shows at the Del Mar Fair? For a small town that once declared itself a nuclear-free zone, gun

CHILDREN continued from page 26 shows should be anathema to Del Mar. Attend the next local gun show. See how easy it is to buy anything you want, immediately, with little if any waiting period. Look at the firepower and ammunition for sale there that make the old style six-shooter revolver look like a pop gun. Then try to tell yourself the founders of this country meant for it to be like this. Through this unspeakable evil, we may have finally reached the tipping point in the public’s demand for stricter gun control. The grief and fury, beyond containment this time, are tied to the ages of the victims and their innocence and helplessness. Twenty first-graders and six brave teachers and staff members were murdered at a school that could have been one of ours. Every face we see today of a first-grader reminds us now of the babies lost, the parents bereft, a community suffering with immeasurable sorrow. With broken hearts, we must come together to hold politicians’ feet to the fire on sensible gun control laws. Make this a litmus test for voter support. And insist
Rancho Santa Fe Review on more funding to treat the violent, mentally disturbed youth in our midst. As painful as it is, we need to keep the tortured images of 20 tiny coffins in our minds, and remember their names and faces, to bolster our resolve to demand common sense approaches to helping us mend as a society, to bring order out of chaos, to create something meaningful from inexplicable brutality. We must do what we can to stop this madness. This time, we can’t give up or give in or forget. We must try. For the sake of the dead children, to honor their memories and pay tribute to the sanctity of their brief lives, we must try. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

This all rests solely on the classroom teacher. I believe that their support and the professional development/coaching that is offered to classroom
teachers are key to the literacy success at RSF.” Joslyn concurred, “The literacy coaches are indispensable! We are especially fortunate to have Lindsey Donaldson who keeps us working diligently forward at all times.” In February, four representatives from the Ranch School will attend a professional development workshop at Teacher’s College to learn about reading and writing informational text around Common Core. Teacher’s College has already done a lot of the work of integrating Common Core into their program which will benefit the Ranch School. “We are so

HIGHWAY continued from page 1 touches after the fair opens, such as installing a bench or tree, but major work is expected to be completed, with roads and parking areas open. The project includes new storm drains, along with a series of improvements intended to upgrade the appearance of the 101 corridor between Cliff and Dahlia streets, including new sidewalks, decorative lighting, street furniture, landscaping and a series of 11 meeting spaces with public art. Construction will cost $7 million, plus about
SHOOTING continued from page 1 the adults on campus. “Resources for discussing tragedies such as this with your children can be found on the Del Mar Union School District website, under the section, “Ways Parents Can Help During Difficult Times” at http://www.dmusd.org. “The most important thing we can do as adults is reassure our children that they are safe.” Solana Beach School District Superintendent
$500,000 for design and engineering, and about $7 million in interest on bonds sold to finance the work. Along with sprucing up the appearance of the corridor, the project is intended to slow down traffic, enticing motorists to stop at restaurants and shops, said Nichols. Parking along street will also be increased, and pedestrian crosswalks will be added, improving access from residential neighborhoods on the east side of Highway 101. City Manager David Ott said the work is progressing more quickly due to a number of factors, such as overlapping some of the phases of the project so they can proceed simultaneously, do-
ing some construction work at night, and some technical changes that have speeded up construction. Most of the work is taking place on the west side of Highway 101. Currently, construction work along the project area has eliminated parking on much of the west side of the road, and customers have to park on the side or rear of businesses. Signs and orange cones direct motorists to areas that cross the construction area. Soon, crews will begin installing curbs, new sidewalks and pavement along the road, said Sammak. The sidewalks will be done in six segments, and businesses will get at least one week’s
notice before work on their section begins, he said. “But there will be access to every single business” during the construction, he said. Sue Kelly, who owns an interior decorating business and a dress boutique in the same building along the 101 corridor, asked whether the city is making plans to have a grand opening once the work is complete. She said some businesses have suffered a steep loss of business since the work began. “Whether we can all survive until this is done, who knows?” she said. Ott said the city has been working with the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce on promoting the
benefits of the renovation project, and would be “very happy to work with business and property owners.” The city has also relaxed its sign regulations and eliminated permit fees for banners and A-frame signs for businesses in the project area, so merchants can let potential customers know they are open during construction, Ott said. City officials stressed that once the work is completed, the 101 corridor will be transformed into a much more pleasing attraction for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists, which in turn should stimulate the local economy. “I think it’s going to
look great. We don’t want to hurt the businesses. We want you guys to be successful,” said Nichols. After the meeting, Kelly said business at her dress boutique is down by 50 percent, and the Christmas shopping season has been a bust. She and other merchants at the meeting urged the city to do more to let people know about the project, and encourage residents to support local businesses during construction. But she also said the project should give a big boost to the area’s economic prospects once it’s finished. “It’s a huge step in a positive way for 101 to get on the map,” she said.
Nancy Lynch said, “We want to offer our heartfelt sympathy and prayers to the parents, staff and community of Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut, who suffered a horrific tragedy on their school campus. “Your child’s safety is our highest priority. To support our parents in addressing this tragedy with their children, our school principals have sent an electronic message containing additional information.” A link titled “Tips for Talking to Children After a Disaster” is on the Solana Beach School District web
site at http://www.sbsd.k12. ca.us/Page/1. (As of presstime for this newspaper, no message appeared on the RSF School District web site.) San Diego County Superintendent of Schools Randy Ward said the education system has an unspoken agreement with parents to keep their children safe and send them home a little smarter. ``All of us who work with children take our responsibility to keep them safe very seriously,’’ Ward said. ``It’s at the heart and soul of everything we do.
You can’t educate children without them being safe. As this morning’s incident shows, sometimes, in spite of our best intentions, evil forces upend our unspoken agreement.’’ Ward encouraged parents to speak with their children about the importance of alerting the proper authorities if they see or hear something suspicious on or near their campuses. He said local school administrators will review safety plans and, along with counselors, discuss the incident with students and answer their questions.
San Diego County mental health experts Alfredo Aguirre (Director of County Behavioral Health Services) and Piedad Garcia (Assistant deputy director of County Behavioral Health Services) had this advice for parents issued via a press release: “Incidents like this can generate a lot of fear and anxiety that can last a few days or weeks. That’s why it’s important for parents to be aware of their children’s response and be ready to talk openly about it, without providing too many details. Parents should control the
amount of information children have access to and answer their questions simply without dramatizing the incident,” said Aguirre. “This helps to diminish fear and anxiety in children.” The County operates the Access and Crisis Line seven days a week, 24 hours a day, where people can get help for issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, or other mental health challenges.

Artichoke & Goat Cheese Flatbread
Seasons 52 offers UTC shoppers a healthful spot to dine BY KELLEY CARLSON t the newly opened Seasons 52, guests won’t find the traditional calorie-laden foods of the holiday season. Instead, they may be delighted to discover that there is nothing on the menu over 475 calories — not even the desserts. “We use all-natural cooking techniques,” Executive Chef Steve de Barril explained, which includes the use of a brick oven and an oak-fire grill. Other secrets to the healthy fare: no deep fryers, no butter, and no cooking with cream. “We let the product speak for itself,” de Barril said. The cuisine apparently speaks volumes, as the restaurant — which opened Nov. 19 in the Westfield UTC shopping center — already seems to draw quite a few people. Located in a brand-new building with a stone exterior, Seasons 52 — one of 26 in the Darden-owned chain — has a prominent spot next to Sears. When patrons first walk in, their attention is often drawn to the wine collection in the “Chateau” behind the front counter. It houses a sizable portion of the establishment’s 2,000 bottles, from renowned wine producers such as France, South Africa and, of course, California. “With 60 (wines offered by the glass), there’s always something new to try,” de Barril said. Just a few steps away is the Chef’s Table room, which displays “spiced artwork” — aromatic herbs and spices built into frames on the wall and table. Up to 10 people can feast on a seven-course meal chosen by de Barril. In the heart of the restaurant is the main dining room, which is timeless and elegant, yet casually contemporary. Its design is

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.
■ This week’s recipe: Seasons 52’s Cider-glazed Chicken Skewers inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, featuring autumn ledgestone and solid Honduran mahogany throughout, and hand-made vases add brilliant colors. Also adjacent to the dining room is the full-service piano lounge/bar, with operable floor-to-ceiling windows. From 6 p.m. to close daily, and all day long on weekends for the remainder of December, live music emanates from a rotating piano in the bar. Guests often request songs while sipping on beers or signature cocktails such as the Blackberry Storm with Atlantico Reserva Rum, blackberry preserves, lime juice, agave nectar and a hint of allspice; and the Pomegranate Margarita Martini, a blend of Patrón Silver Tequila, Patrón Citrónge and pomegranate juice.
The design of the main dining room is inspired by the work of architect and interior designer Frank Lloyd Wright. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON Diners who relish the outdoors may opt to sit on the wraparound patio with two fire pits and watch shoppers ambling along. While Seasons 52 does not have a traditional happy hour, it offers “Flights and Flats” from the time it opens until 6 p.m. daily. For $15, patrons may choose three samples of wine from eight varieties, and then receive a full glass of their favorite along with a flatbread. Among the flatbread selections are Artichoke & Goat Cheese and Steak & Cremini Mushroom. Since Seasons 52 relies on fresh produce and seafood for its fare, its menu is constantly changing. Nearly all of the core dishes shift with the season, but a handful of new items — primarily soups, flatbreads, fish and desserts — are introduced every Tuesday.
Some of the primary items on the fall menu that may change slightly for winter are BBQ Chicken salad; Vegetarian Tasting with quinoa-farro salad, soft taco, chile relleno, cedar-roasted tofu and mango chutney; and Springer Mountain Farm AllNatural Grilled Chicken with tamarind glaze, sweet potato mash and pumpkin seeds. However, there are some plates that will remain the same, including the Kalymnos Greek salad; Caramelized Grilled Sea Scallops and roasted asparagus; and Cedar Plank Roasted Pacific King Salmon. As for dessert, Seasons 52 presents Mini Indulgences — individually sized portions of classics such as Meyer Lemon Pound Cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse and Rocky Road.

After her own life-changing recovery, Susan Sbicca hopes to change others’ lives through food at new local ‘vitality bar’ BY CLAIRE HARLIN When award-winning chef Susan Sbicca left Del Mar’s Sbicca American Bistro a little over a decade ago, she knew it was time to take a new direction, but she wasn’t immediately sure what her next calling would be. “It was time to move on,” said Sbicca, who was named Chef of the Year in 1996 by the San Diego Chapter of the California Restaurant Association. “After 20 years in the business I was getting tired.” Within a couple months, the local resident began working on a Sbicca cookbook, but was stopped in her tracks by a health diagnosis — autoimmune disease — that left her home-ridden and suffering for months. But for Sbicca, this unfortunate hardship also led to a change of identity and change of career path — a lifelong passion that she feels so blessed to have discovered that she gets choked up talking about it. After a number of various health plans prescribed by doctors didn’t work, Sbicca sought the help of the Optimum Health Institute in Lemon Grove, where she stayed for one week eating a diet of wheatgrass and raw food. She found that her diet was the only thing that could keep her disease in remission. With that finding, she applied her culinary know-how to the somewhat uncharted territory of raw and vegan rood preparation in order to save her own heath — and now she’s on a dedicated mission to share what she’s learned to help others. That’s why Del Mar’s new bBar “vitality bar,” which was set to open on Dec. 19 at 2683 Via de La Valle, has chosen Sbicca to head up its kitchen and contribute to its extensive menu of raw dishes. The bBar is like a “wellness hub,” its creators say, a new concept that offers cleanses, food plans and education in addition to serving raw vegan food and smoothies to go.
“It’s an interesting concept and I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Sbicca. “We’ll be working with people to design your own cleanse, and since there is raw food involved in the cleanses, it’s easier to stick to than the diets that are just juices.” Despite the health setbacks Sbicca had to overcome, she’s been no stranger in the community. Many of her local, longtime foodie fans have been getting a taste of “Millie’s concept,” her gluten-free, vegan gelatos, which she sells at the Leucadia Farmers Market on Susan Sbicca Saturday mornings. She has previously sold at the Rancho Santa Fe market as well, and she will also be carrying her unique flavors — such as vanilla blueberry almond; pear cayenne; and chocolate peanut butter — at bBar. The Millie’s concept arose when she began experimenting with healthy sweets in the kitchen, and the final product turned out to be so delicious that she felt compelled to share it. Because the image of her mother, who Sbicca lost four years ago to breast cancer, constantly graced her thoughts as she added different sweet ingredients, she said there was no question about what she would name the gelato brand.
“Every time I added something sweet, I envisioned her. Her name was Millie Butterfield and she had such a sweet tooth,” said Sbicca, who, not a sweets-lover herself, has surprisingly enjoyed the shift from savory to sweet cuisine. “My mom didn’t cook much but she got into dessert. Her fudge was like no other, and she would have loved being part of making these gelatos.” Having begun her culinary career in the 1980s working in delis in Boston, Sbicca said returning to a the delistyle atmosphere at bBar is somewhat nostalgic — her career has come full circle to interacting with customers at the counter once again. “A deli out there is so much more than you would ever see here,” she said. “But what really drew me to the food industry was the teamwork you saw behind the scenes.” At bBar, Sbicca is part of a team once again, consisting of raw chef Simone Powers, owner and health enthusiast Lisa Odenweller and cleansing expert Adina Niemerow — as well as a number of staff members who will be working at the counter. In a recent employee meeting with her new team, Sbicca said she became emotional when it was her turn to talk. “When I talk about it, I realize how passionate I am about it. It’s been such a journey and I hope I can be an example,” said Sbicca of her goal to changes others’ lives through food just like her life has been changed. And when it comes to being a leader at a place she sees as a soon-to-be Del Mar institution, she said, “It feels good to be home.” For more information on Millie’s or to join the “pint club,” visit www.milliesgelato.com.

Kimera Orphanage Reception Dr. and Mrs. Jonathan Rosenthal held a reception Dec. 1 to introduce friends and interested parties to Edward (“Eddie) Sengendo and the Kimera Orphanage, which he is building in Uganda. Sengendo updated the guests on his summer trip to Kampala, the land he has purchased and his goals for completion of the orphanage. Sengendo and his family came to San Diego in the early 1980s after being granted political asylum from Uganda. Prior to coming to the U.S., his family lived in a refuge camp in Kenya. Upon arrival here they were placed in housing in St. Vincent de Paul. It was while living there that he was introduced to the game of tennis. Within a short period of time he became a ranked tennis player. Tennis has since played a major role in Eddie’s life and his success. He has, however, never forgotten where he came from and the children who grow up there. The mission statement of the orphanage is

“to love, inspire, and transform lives.” Sengendo hopes to have a facility built within the next two years to house approximately 150 children. They will live, learn, work (a farm is planned on the land), and play tennis.

RSF Senior Scene: Upcoming events include North Coast Rep Reader’s Workshop; Preventing falls BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR North Coast Repertory Reader’s Workshop Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 8, at 2:30 p.m., the North Coast Repertory Theatre will present its “Reader’s Workshop” series. This is a free six-part series and will involve no memorization. Participants will have fun while learning acting and character techniques that will result in an entertaining Reader’s Theatre Performance. The instructor, Fredreka Irvine, received her B.A. in Theatre from Florida A&M University and her M.F.A. in Theatre Performance from the University of Central Florida. Previously, Fredreka served as the Education Associate for the Tony-Award winning Hartford Stage Company. She currently works in the casting department at the North Coast Repertory Terrie Litwin Theatre. The class will meet weekly for six weeks. No acting experience needed! Please call the Senior Center to register (858) 756-3041. Changing Behavior to Prevent Falls It is currently estimated that half of all falls that result in injury happen in the home. Most residential housing is geared to young, healthy adults with features that do not take into account age-related conditions such as reduced mobility or limited range of reach. What appear to be insignificant issues can have a significant effect as we age. The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control states that falls are the number one cause of home injury with a significant portion due to environmental factors. Throw rugs, electric cords and general clutter can increase the risk of falls and should be removed or repositioned. Proper lighting in hallways, bathrooms, and regularly trafficked areas can also help prevent falls. Grab bars and handrails can be easily installed and further decrease the risk of falling. Please join us at the Senior Center on Wednesday, Jan. 9, at 10 a.m. for “Changing Behavior to Prevent Falls,” an informative presentation by Cindy Sawyer, community outreach coordinator with Southwest Lifeline. Attendees will learn about the changes we need to make in our environment as we age to decrease our risk of falling. Potential fall hazards in the home will be identified in a “room by room” approach. Cindy is a member of the San Diego County Council on Aging and the San Diego Fall Prevention Task Force and Speaker’s Bureau. Happy Holidays from the Senior Center! The Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center staff and Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful holiday season and a very happy and healthy New Year. We are grateful to our many friends and supporters whose generous contributions of time and resources enable us continue our mission of serving seniors.

Kids Korps volunteers enjoy special environmental tour On Saturday, Dec. 1, Kids Korps volunteers meet at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for a wonderful informative environmental tour. Participants of this event come away with the knowledge and understanding of how the natural resource conservation and preservation program works on the grounds of this massive facility. Every day, behind the scenes, employees are hard at work sorting tons of bottles, cans, paper and plastic collected from the 600 blue recycling bins throughout the fairgrounds. Over the years the recycling program has grown to include 28 materials diverted from landfills annually. “The tour was very extensive and we learned so much about how the Del Mar Fairgrounds keeps up with recycling and conservation”, said Robin Chappelow, Kids Korps program director. Volunteers had a chance to see “the farms,” where some of the food that is consumed on the premises is grown, and later they had the chance to dig in the vermicomposting (composting with worms). “The Del Mar Fairgrounds adopted a Resource Conservation Program in 1990 and has won 24 awards for its achievements,” said Nancy Strauss, resource conservation coordinator for the 22nd District Agricultural Association. In addition to recycling, the Fairgrounds has made great strides in their conservation efforts. By implementing a lighting retrofit project and solar-power program they have reduced their average energy consumption and reduced its dependence on traditional sources of energy. Millions of gallons of water have been saved by replacing a dirt racetrack with a synthetic Polytrack. In addition, numerous other programs have resulted in an approximate savings of 24.5 million gallons of water total over the last four years. In 2011, the recycling staff of the 22nd DAA & DMTC and serving staff of Premier Foods handled or sorted the following amount of California Redemption Value (CRV) materials: •Glass 101,144 lbs or approximately 1,249,728 bottles •PET Plastic 21,468 lbs or approximately 686,976 bottles •Aluminum 5,600 lbs or approximately 196,000 cans “The recycling staff is our quality control team. They make sure that materials are separated to bring us the highest possible value resulting in high revenues,” reported Nancy. Great job team! Kids Korps and Teen Korps members along with their parents learned about sorting, composting, zero waste, how to reuse, conserve, not producing waste, and avoid using natural resources. Thank you to Ron Diamond and Kristina Smith from I Love A Green San Diego for organizing and implementing this great afternoon. Thank you also to SDG&E for their ongoing support of this Passport to Sustainability project and many others. UPCOMING PROJECTS: WHAT: Feeding the Homeless – Interfaith Community Services WHEN: Sun.

“Mickey” Gribin, longtime member of MCASD’s board of trustees, by local photography collectors Dan Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser. The exhibit will run through March 10. Born in 1942, photographer Iturbide works in blackand-white and shares Bravo’s interest in portraying the daily life of Mexico’s indigenous people. Like him, she has influenced a new generation of photographers in Latin America and beyond with her striking, politically charged, often woman-centered works. Besides Bravo and Iturbide, others featured in the exhibit include Gabriel Orozco, considered the pioneer of conceptual art in Mexico, and several photographers from other countries who have documented the Mexican experience, including Canadian Alex Webb and American Geoffrey James. “Most of these artists are very well-known in Latin America, but not in the States,” said MCASD’s Education Curator Cris Scorza. “My hope is that showing them here will give people on this side of the border a chance to get to know them.” For more details, visit mcasd.org or call (858) 454-3541.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT It would be difficult to talk about Mexican photography without mentioning Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002), whose long life included some 60 years of creating compelling images of ordinary people and places in the country of his birth. He managed to capture the realities of everyday life in post-revolutionary Mexico in a way that was both poetic and unsentimental. On Dec. 14, the Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla, 700 Prospect St., opened an exhibit of 35 works from its permanent collection, focusing on Bravo’s impact on contemporary Mexican photographers. Notably featured are 10 pieces by one of his students, Graciela Iturbide, which were recently donated to the museum in memory of Murray Get Down in December

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS International Bipolar Foundation’s next free Long time Morgan Stanley broker named to ‘Barron’s Top 100 Financial Advisors’ in the nation For the third year in a row, Robert Inbody, a managing director with Morgan Stanley in La Jolla, was named on the list of Barron’s Top 100 financial advisors in the nation. Inbody, a Del Mar resident, is the only broker in San Diego County to achieve this honor. Barron’s rankings are based on each advisor’s “assets under management, revenue generated for his or her firm and quality of the practice.” Morgan Stanley boasted 30 of the top 100 advisors. Inbody has been with Morgan Stanley for 40 years, starting as a trainee in the company’s downtown San Diego office in 1971. When they opened the satellite office in La Jolla in 1975, he became the producing manager, a title he held until 1996 Robert Inbody when he went back to being a broker, leaving the management side behind. “This has been a fantastic job, and I am lucky to have chosen this as my career,” Inbody said. “It is something I truly enjoy and it’s rewarding helping other people. I have great clients that I have come to know very well over the years.” By staying in one place for 40 years, Inbody has generated the trust and respect that has allowed nearly all of his business to come from referrals. Inbody said he was honored but somewhat surprised to be on this prestigious list, as he is not your typical financial planner. “My success comes in doing things that no other broker does,” said Inbody of his creating a niche in investing to protect against a depreciating U.S. dollar by investing in equities, gold, foreign currencies and other non-traditional investment vehicles. “I am unique in that I utilize a broader range of products than the average broker. For the last 10 years a good portion of our investing has been in gold, energy and foreign currency.” The biggest challenge is to provide income for clients in a low interest rate environment. The idea is to look for investments that can provide good rates of return with reduced risk. In developing his own style, he’s made his career exciting and different, even while working long days. “The ‘sun never sets’ when investing one’s money, and if I weren’t doing it with Morgan Stanley, I’d be doing the same thing for myself. There is also the game aspect of the market and any game is fun when you win,” Inbody said. Morgan Stanley is located at 1225 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA, 92037 To contact Robert Inbody: 858-729-5010 or email: robert.inbody@morganstanley.com For more information, go to www.morganstanleyfa.com/robert.inbody/ This is a business spotlight advertorial, which is developed through the RSF Review advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Ask the Plastic Surgeons By Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD Q. I’ve heard that winter is a popular time to schedule plastic surgery procedures, but other than cooler weather, is there a reason for this? A. You bring up a good point about the weather contributing to an increase in the number of surgical procedures scheduled during the winter months. Most people would prefer to be at the beach or on the golf course when it’s warm and sunny. It’s much easier to camouflage bandages and post-surgical garments (such as compression body suits) with layers of clothing when the weather is cold, making it perfectly normal to bundle up against the elements. Also, a lot of people spend more time indoors during the winter months (the weather is cooler and the days are shorter). Winter is also a time when people schedule vacations during the holidays and this creates a good opportunity to take a “staycation,” by reserving time to run local errands or simply take advantage of downtime by relaxing at home. This lends itself well to more invasive plastic surgery procedures, such as breast augmentations, tummy tucks and facelifts, which require longer recovery times compared to Botox injections or facial laser treatments. Since “staycation” time can be scheduled to coincide with the holidays, remaining predominately indoors with family and friends close by to help is also a benefit. Additionally, you’ll be close to your physician’s office with plenty of extra assistance to facilitate your medical follow-up visits. The holidays are also a time when people like to treat themselves and their loved ones to luxuries that they might forgo dur#1: 305-071-25-00 T.D.

Jolla and Wendell Smoot, MD, has been voted by his peers as Top Doctor in San Diego for five consecutive years. Carol Hollan, MD, is San Diego’s first female board-certified plastic surgeon while Reza Sadrian, MD, is one of very few plastic surgeons dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. The practice has over 20 years of tenure in the industry and each is individually board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD ing other times of the year. It’s not uncommon these days for couples to schedule plastic surgery procedures together or mothers and daughters to do the same. While plastic surgery procedures may not be your idea of a stocking stuffer, there’s always the option to give the gift of skin care beauty, such as a series of facials or laser treatments. The postholiday month of January is traditionally a time for rejuvenation and self-improvement, so a gift card that can be used for a variety of treatments of the recipient’s choice during the first six months of the year is often appreciated. When considering a plastic surgery procedure for yourself, a relative or a friend, it’s important to locate a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to obtain further information. Safety should always be at the top of your holiday wish list. John Smoot, MD, is the former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital-La

The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families Holiday Blues Dear Dr. Diana, Last year, the holidays were a time of great sadness for me. It was the first Christmas and New Year that I had experienced on the heels of a terrible divorce. I was in love with my husband and didn’t want the diDr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom vorce. A couple of months ago I started feeling better than I had in a long time, just getting used to my life as a single person. But now, as the holidays draw near, I’ve got a terrible case of the blues again. What can I do? Singing the Blues Dear Singing, As you already know, the holidays are a time for family, friends, and togetherness. But it’s not such a happy time for everyone. The pressure and the memories of how things used to be can create sadness and a longing for what one doesn’t have anymore. It may help you to remind yourself of the not-so-good times that led to your divorce. When you find yourself longing for what was, change the channel. Reframe. Counter the sad thought with a memory of what didn’t work for you in your relationship. There had to be negative aspects of your relationship that created its demise. It’s only natural to remember the good times
but it’s not the whole truth. Instead of letting yourself get mired down in the sadness, try to be brutally honest with yourself and think about the things that weren’t right in your relationship – the things that you don’t miss. While it’s natural to grieve a divorce for a while, it’s also important not to romanticize it as being better than it was. It makes the loss more painful when your recollections are out of balance. During the holidays, spend some time thinking about what you want 2013 to look like. Write down some positive goals in the area of your physical, emotional, financial, mental and spiritual health. Then write down the steps necessary to accomplish those goals. Keep these goals and steps in a place where you can readily access them. Look at them often. A few more suggestions to help you get through the holidays: • Accept any social invitations as long as they aren’t negative people who will bring you down; • Get outside of yourself by thinking of others – think of someone who is in need of company or volunteer in a soup kitchen; • Invite other single people over to your house for a celebration; • Buy tickets to the theatre or a concert that you’re been wanting to see so that you will have something to look forward to; • Make a gratitude list. Read it every day and add to it. Research shows that people who think of three things that they are grateful for each night before sleep are less depressed and happier.
• Try not to overeat or over drink during the holidays because that can cause depression. And surround yourself with supportive loved ones. Wishing you a peaceful holiday and love all throughout the coming year. Diana Weiss-Wisdom, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist in private practice in Rancho Santa Fe.
