BY KAREN BILLING Brandi Miller, a new parent in the Rancho Santa Fe School District, said she didn’t even think twice about the Spanish offerings when she enrolled her children into R. Roger Rowe: she just assumed that foreign language would be a part of the curriculum. Miller was surprised to find that it wasn’t. On her own initiative, Miller hired a Spanish teacher and started an after-school class that meets every week at a Rancho Santa Fe home. She admits that the kids aren’t learning a lot, because it’s only once a week — but it’s better than nothing. “I think it should be required, starting at kindergarten,” Miller said. “To me, learning a foreign language is very important and I think it’s really practical, especially living in San Diego.” A forum on the school’s Spanish program was held Feb. 28, and a group of 40 parents took part in the discussion. Last year, a parent petition to return Spanish to the elementary school level was presented to the See SPANISH, page 29

R. Roger Rowe School FTC Robotics Team moves on to Super Western Regional Championship On Feb. 21, three teams from the R. Roger Rowe Middle School competed against a field of 36 teams at a regional championship held at Canyon Crest Academy. Throughout the day, the RSF Portal Pounders team (Katherine Arnold, Tyler Bovenzi, Grayson Hudgens, DJ Nelson, Gabrielle Nguyen and Brandon Wong) remained undefeated going into the final alliance rounds. During the alliance rounds, the RSF Portal Pounders chose its fellow school teammates, the RSF Intergalactic Dragons (James Busby, Conrad Delgado, Aaron Lustig, Lucas Luwa and Justine Yu), as one of its alliance partners. The alliance won its initial matches and moved on to play against the top-seeded team for the championship. Robot malfunctions during the final rounds cost the alliance the championship, and placed them in second. They were allotted one of only four spots given to move on to the Super Western Regionals. The RSF Portal Pounders will be competing in Oakland on March 27-29 against 13 other western states. The school’s third team, the RSF Intercontinental BalSee ROBOTICS, page 28

SDUHSD: Process already exists to allow change of teachers BY KAREN BILLING Earlier this month, several San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) parents requested that the district consider allowing students to move out of class if there is a clear personality conflict or if a teacher is not living up to

the standards of the district. The parents, who said they had experiences with district teachers where their students’ educations “suffered beyond repair,” proposed a fair process with restrictions, such as allowing the change only if there is space and only within the

first three weeks of the class. At the Feb. 5 SDUHSD board meeting, Associate Superintendent of Educational Services Michael Grove said that the district does not allow students to move to a different teacher in the same class subject. However, at the Feb. 19 meeting, Grove

clarified this statement and said that it is allowed and that it does happen. “We generally don’t change teachers or students based on preference or requests, but there are situations where that occurs,” Grove said. He said the district uses

SDUHSD considers ending bus SDUHSD board approves cost of classroom work at Torrey Pines transportation for students BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District is considering eliminating bus service in the 2015-16 school year because of declining ridership and cost concerns. A survey will go out to district parents to gather input before any final recommendations are made for next year, according to Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services. According to the board report given at a Feb. 5 budget workshop, the district is considering eliminating middle school transportation and high school shuttles and re-deploying the fleet and drivers to support athletic field trips to reduce costs. By using the fleet it has for athletic trips, the district would need fewer private charters for teams and see reduced overtime costs for drivers and reduced wear on the fleet, extending the life of the buses. No change is proposed to special education transportation. According to the report, ridership has been declining at district schools for the past few years. Ridership peaked in the 2010-11 school year with 1,307 riders, but for 2015-16, it is projected to be at 696 districtwide. At Carmel Valley Middle School, ridership is expected to decline from 300 in 2014-15 to 247 for 2015-16. Earl Warren is expected to fall from 224 this year to 187 in the fall. There are 67 riders at Diegueno and 195 at Oak Crest. Some of the schools offer free passes for students, including 21 at La Costa Canyon,

26 at Torrey Pines and 11 at Sunset. Ridership is projected to fall because of more flexible scheduling options, intra-district transfers and the opening of Pacific Trails Middle School, which will further decrease ridership because of shorter travel distance for students. Additionally, the buses represent a cost concern for the district. The bus fleet is aging —of the 22 buses, the models are from 1997-2003, the average mileage is 142,141 and replacement costs $180,000 each. According to the board report, updating the fleet would cost the general fund $3 million over the next five years. Athletic transportation is also supported by the general fund and the district’s 4,000 student athletes take more than 1,700 athletic trips a year. The school foundations cover roughly half the cost of athletic field trip transportation, but about half of the trips are chartered at a higher cost when district buses or drivers are unavailable. The report stated that athletic transportation donations have increased, but the service is still heavily supported by the general fund. In 2014-15, $315,000 came out of the general fund and $325,000 from the foundation. Several surrounding districts no longer offer transportation, including Carlsbad and San Marcos and the feeder districts of Cardiff, Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach.

BY KAREN BILLING At its Feb. 19 meeting, the San Dieguito Union High School District approved a guaranteed maximum price of $3.1 million from Erickson Hall Construction Company for the construction of general classrooms at Torrey Pines High School. The work is funded through Proposition AA funds. The decision was not unanimous; the vote was 3-2, with trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir voting against it. Salazar opposed the contract with Erickson Hall, as it had contributed $15,000 to the district’s Prop AA campaign. Salazar said he had a problem philosophically with the district awarding a contract to a company that had given them a “massive contribution.” Trustee Amy Herman said she appreciated her fellow trustees’ rationale, but disagreed with the perception that there has been any “pay to play” within the district. “I believe that our district has always worked in a very ethical way,” Herman said. Herman said that Erickson Hall has worked with them cooperatively on other projects, bringing projects in on time and under budget. “They have done an incredible job in the past, and I see no reason to hold back this contract at this time,” agreed trustee Joyce Dalessandro. Salazar and Muir said they didn’t intend to disparage Erickson Hall or accuse the company of anything. Salazar said he dis-

Wildflower Ranch

agrees with the unfair advantage that contractors have over regular taxpayers, and that they have a tremendous amount to gain by contributing. “It’s nothing against Erickson Hall at all, it’s just protesting the entire school bond concept,” Salazar said. Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that while he knows there are other school districts that have “played dirty,” that is not the case in San Dieguito. He said the district’s staff is ethical, works hard and had no knowledge of which companies had contributed to the bond effort. “I’m proud of our team,” Schmitt said. “Led by Eric Dill, they go out of their way to get the best price and the best deal to get it done and on time.” The district approved a resolution with Erickson Hall at the Feb. 5 board meeting for a total of $15.9 million of improvements at Torrey Pines, including classroom remodels and work on the media center and front entry. Salazar and Muir also voted against the resolution. Other companies who donated to the bond campaign were Lionakis ($25,000), Westberg & White ($25,000) and Balfour Beatty ($11,000). Lionakis did the architecture for Pacific Trails Middle School and the new Earl Warren Middle School, and Balfour Beatty is handling construction for Pacific Trails.

Water districts team for study on purifying recycled water for ‘drought-proof’ drinking supply The Santa Fe Irrigation District’s Board of Directors approved launching a concept study to evaluate using advanced water purification techniques to take recycled wastewater to an extremely high level of purification so that it could potentially be used for potable water. The study will identify and evaluate opportunities and challenges associated with the development of this drought-proof, local water supply. The $120,000 study cost is being shared equally by the Santa Fe Irrigation District, the San Dieguito Water District and the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, which form a natural partnership. The Santa Fe Irrigation District and San Dieguito Water District each own major components of the potential project infrastructure, and the water supply would originate at San Elijo Joint Powers Authority. This study is just one part of a multipronged program by Santa Fe Irrigation District to ensure long-term reliable local water supplies in the face of the worst drought in California’s recorded history. More about Santa Fe Irrigation District actions to increase water conservation and improve the water supply are summarized below: • New Home Water Conservation Checkups to improve conservation and water use efficiency. Santa Fe Irrigation District

customers have cut water use by more than 20 percent since 2007. But this is not enough to close the water supply gap. So the district is instituting a new landscape efficiency program that provides a detailed review of individual properties and provides the owners with a complete description of how they can conserve more water on their property. • Continuing with level 2 mandatory water conservation measures. These include restrictions on outdoor watering such as assigned days for watering, limiting irrigation time on lawns to 10 minutes per watering stations per assigned day, prohibition of overspray and waste, and more. • Reviewing water rates and considering new tiers to promote water conservation and fund water supply needs. A new rate structure with steeper tiered rates could promote conservation and provide the funding needed to invest in long-term water supply independence. These rates will be evaluated in the coming months. Actions to enhance the community’s long-term water independence with new locally controlled water supplies: • Collaborating to develop additional recycled water. The district is collaborating with 10 local agencies in a coalition called the North San Diego Water Reuse Coalition to seek state and federal funding for a series

Some CCA parents, athletes accuse girls field hockey coach of bullying BY KAREN BILLING A group of Canyon Crest Academy field hockey parents and students are calling for a coach to be fired after players allegedly suffered verbal abuse and bullying. Several parents and two field hockey team members tearfully addressed the San Dieguito Union School board at its Feb. 19 meeting, detailing how coach Rebecca Kingsbury had chosen her “A Team” favorites and tore down the others with “horrible” insults and negative treatment. Although a group has lodged complaints about the coach for the past two seasons, Kingsbury has been reinstated for the 2015-16 school year. “I’m tired of the games the administration is playing at CCA,” said senior Madison McIntyre, fighting to speak through tears. “I’ve been dealing with this situation for two long years and I’m afraid if I don’t speak up now, I’m afraid someone might pay with their lives.” Player Hannah Manchel said the coach made her feel “invisible, worthless and humiliated” and said she feels the district has minimized her feelings. She said while she may be graduating, she doesn’t want this coach to treat another group of girls badly because the negative effects of her actions don’t end just because the season did. “I can’t stand aside and let that happen,” Hannah said. As the girls spoke, Melanie Farfel, CCA’s

student representative on the board, grew increasingly upset. Melanie spoke up at the end of public comment through tears, saying that she had experienced similar poor treatment by the coach when she led the school’s lacrosse team. The issue was raised during public comment, so the board could not discuss the topic. Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that the board cannot discuss personnel matters but noted the members have heard the complaints and will continue to investigate the situation. Kingsbury issued a statement saying that the allegations against her are untrue. “From my seven-year head coaching career at CCA, across two sports, there are dozens of players and parents who can attest to my character as a person, and as a coach who cares deeply about every kid,” said Kingsbury. “I am truly overwhelmed by the level of support I’ve received over the last few days, from both current and former athletes and families, as well as other coaches and members of the community. “I’m disappointed with the fact that a few families are willing to go to this length to attack my integrity,” she continued. “It represents the challenges that all coaches face in today’s world of youth and high school sports.” At the meeting, the parents presented the board with a detailed timeline of inciSee COACH, page 28

TPHS grad receives worldwide attention for unique runway show BY ROB LEDONNE Last year for New York Fashion Week, 2003 Torrey Pines High School graduate and Rancho Santa Fe native Carrie Hammer garnered attention for a unique kind of fashion show with the theme “Role Models Not Runway Models.” The show, which was meant to break down the exclusive barriers of the fashion world and showcase models who aren’t usually seen on a runway, was a runaway success and spurred her to continue the theme. “This was the one-year anniversary of our first show,” explained Hammer as she began to settle down after what was a whirlwind of work and attention. “Oh my gosh, it’s been unbelievable. I literally can’t believe it.” One reason Hammer is still reeling is because of the viral attention the show has received from the press, thanks to a novel idea meant to spark change in fashion circles. “After my first show, I got an email from an organization called Changing

and Microsoft, Hammer and the show have received kudos from everyone from fashion icon Victoria Beckham to ABC television. “When ‘ABC World News’ covered us, it was huge,” said Hammer of the attention from the national broadcast. “That [story] led to a lot of attention.” Other outlets that covered the show ran the gamut, from publications such as Time Magazine, USA Today, and Cosmopolitan, to television shows that included “The Today Show” and “Entertainment Tonight” — among dozens of others. Press adoration led to the show to even becoming a worldwide trending topic on Facebook for the better part of two days. “All of my San Diego friends sprinkled

all over the country have been going berserk,” said Hammer. “People from Torrey Pines who I haven’t heard from in a long time have been reaching out as well. It’s been very nice.” This season’s show was extra special for Hammer, considering her mother, Jean, whom she calls her “ultimate role model,” also walked the runaway. (Her father, Steven, was in the front row.) “A lot of other people in fashion are taking notice of what we’re doing,” said Hammer. “It’s promoting diversity on the runaway, and that’s exactly what we wanted it to do in the first place.” Visit www.carriehammer.com.

the Face of Beauty about how important and inspiring the show was,” Hammer said. “I was then connected to Jamie Brewer.” Brewer, an actress who has appeared on “American Horror Story,” has Down syndrome and Hammer felt she was the perfect person to include in order to raise awareness for the condition. As a result, Brewer was the first model with Down syndrome to model during fashion week in its entire history. “I’m so proud, it’s been so exciting,” said Hammer. “It’s creating real change, because I get messages every day about how the show is special and how it’s transforming people’s lives and ideas.” As a result of including Brewer, as well as other disabled models who have high-powered jobs in organizations such as the Clinton Global Initiative, Price WaterhouseCoopers,

The Board of Directors at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club has unanimously resolved that the organization will establish a charity nonendowment fund at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation in the amount of $3 million. The decision was made at a recent board meeting. The funds deposited with the RSF Foundation will remain the assets of the Garden Club. An Advisory Committee will be appointed to work with the Foundation to request periodic disbursements for Garden Club expenses or grants to organizations approved by the Board of Directors. Christy Wilson, executive director of the RSF Foundation, said “The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and the Foundation have had a long and mutually beneficial relationship for more than 30 years. We are proud to have been selected to manage the fund that will result from the sale of the club. This will enable the Garden Club to continue to make significant and regular grants to nonprofits which focus on horticulture and conservation for many years to come.” The mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club is to further the development of charitable horticulture and charitable conservation activities, within and outside the community of Rancho Santa Fe.

Students get the word at CCA Writers’ Conference: Just write BY LOIS ALTER MARK More than 200 students from 31 high schools around San Diego showed up for the fourth annual Canyon Crest Academy Writers’ Conference Feb. 21. The day-long event featured 28 authors, agents and writing professionals teaching workshops that covered everything from general writing techniques to playwriting and songwriting, podcasts, spoken word, writing for TV and comedy, and selling your work. “We sold out this year, and had our largest number of attendees ever,” said Julia Camilleri, president of the CCA Creative Writing Club. “It was great to see students coming from as far as Coronado, Chula Vista and even Ramona!” Students came to the conference for a variety of reasons. Many dream of becoming best-selling authors, others aspire to write for the stage or screen, and some

are simply motivated by practicality. “I was especially interested in taking ‘Writing the College Essay’ to improve my writing,” admitted Nikita Krishman, a freshman at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla. Although she’s considering journalism as a career, she believes “that workshop will be the most useful right now.” Lindsey Fry, a junior at CCA, agreed. “In the college essay writing seminar, I learned some great tips about phrases to avoid when writing my applications next fall. I promise never to use the words, ‘truly’ or ‘suddenly’!” According to Camilleri, the most popular workshops were the horror panel with Jonathan Maberry and Nancy Holder, Greg Van Eekhout’s “Seeing the World Through Your Character’s Eyes,” Kathy Aarons’ “The Road to Publication” and Allan Retzky’s “How to Start

Your Story or Novel.” The day started in the Proscenium Theater with a keynote speech by horror panelist and best-selling author Maberry. “We live in an interesting era for publishing,” he told the students. “The industry is really listening to young writers and supporting them in the business of being a writer.” Maberry shared his story of always wanting to be a writer but not knowing what he wanted to write. He started writing for his middle school newspaper in order to get a byline, and ended up receiving an academic scholarship to Temple University. “I was always told, ‘Write what you know,’ so I pitched a story to Black Belt magazine about martial arts,” he said. “The editor wrote back, ‘Are you serious?’ I asked him what I had done wrong, and he sent me a sample of a good query letter. To this day, even though I’ve sold thousands of articles, I still use that template.” Maberry offered to share that sample letter and encouraged the young audience to read everything they can get their hands on and to write every day. “A lot of writers wait for the muse,” he said. “What a bunch of crap. That’s not writing; that’s mythologizing the process. A writer just puts his or her butt in the chair and writes.” He also debunked the idea of writer’s block, telling students, “It doesn’t exist. As Ray Bradbury once told me, ‘Writing is 99 percent thinking and 1 percent typing.’ Every first draft in the history of literature has been terrible.” Maberry shared fascinating personal stories about his own writers’ groups, which have included A-listers such as Stephen

Authors Nancy Holder and Jonathan Maberry with conference organizer, Julia Camilleri. Photos courtesy of Simone Camilleri King and Arthur C. Clarke, and his experiences writing greeting cards for Hallmark (he wrote the first 12 cards for the popular “Maxine” line) and achieving his dream job of writing for Marvel Comics. Students took down every word on notepads and iPads as Maberry provided solid tips. He suggested doing a 15-minute writing prompt in a different genre every day (“I never want to get to a point where I think, ‘I can’t write that.’”) and pitching magazine articles on a subject you know well (“Your age doesn’t matter. Magazines are geared toward beginners, and they’re looking for basic how-to articles.”). Maberry’s passion for his work was infectious, and the audience embraced his supportive message. “The door is open for you to go through,” he said. “Don’t let anyone stop you.” According to Camilleri, “I’m still hearing from attendees how wonderful the keynote speech was. It was so inspiring.” The day ended with another empowering — and hilarious— speech by Taylor Williamson, runner-up on “America’s Got Talent” and a graduate of Torrey Pines High School. He talked about comedy writing and the importance of remaining true to yourself in your work — and your life. Already thinking about next year, Camilleri plans to continue heading the CCA Writers’ Conference until she graduates. She is proud of the fact that it is the only free writers’ conference for high school students in the country, thanks to generous sponsorship from Summa Education, Chipotle, Wells Fargo, Ranch & Coast, Hilton Garden Inn San Diego/Del Mar and Print-Net, and she hopes other companies will join in next year so even more students can have the opportunity to attend. The students aren’t the only ones who gain so much at this event. Author James Matlack Raney posted this on his Facebook page: “Had such an amazing time at the CCA Writer’s Con yesterday. The students were unbelievably intelligent, engaged, and passionate. I also felt lucky to make new friends and meet some very successful and prominent authors, as well as catch up with good pals.

Define yourself by your own metrics, says Graham; it’s the first step to success BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN When Stedman Graham, Jr. sauntered into the crowded lecture hall on Feb. 11 at Torrey Pines High School, parents and teachers took notice of his presence even before he spoke. The globetrotting educator and motivational speaker proceeded to share inspiring and informative ideas about his Nine-Step Success Process, some of which evolved from his life experiences. Stedman takes his mission — molding followers into leaders by changing the way people think and view themselves — to high schools, colleges and universities, as well as corporations, professional groups and community organizations. The core of his talk is to enlighten listeners through the metaphorical journey outlined in his self-help book, “Identity Passport to Freedom.” It starts with Step 1: Gaining a deep and intimate understanding of oneself (one’s identity), which he calls “self-mastery.” According to Stedman, we must find our life calling and define ourselves by our personal metrics — not by the labels imposed on us by the outside world, and that includes our gender, race, title or job and our relationships. He talks about how difficult it is to maintain his own independent identity because of his longtime relationship with media mogul Oprah Winfrey. Still, Stedman has managed to carve out his niche, and that includes entrepreneur; CEO of S. Graham & Associates, a Chicago-based educational marketing and consulting firm; author of a dozen selfhelp books; Huffington Post columnist; and orator. He speaks at educational institutes because he believes it’s never too early to show young people the importance of developing leadership qualities rather than remaining followers. Stedman is on a Live Sonima Tour, jetting to 80 high schools around the country to promote his leadership mes-

sage to thousands of students. The Sonima Foundation, based in Encinitas, has the mission of encouraging healthy lifestyles for students in mind and body. Growing up in Middle Township, N.J., Stedman confessed he had low self-esteem, thanks in part to a local shopkeeper who taunted him and defied him to go to college and earn a diploma. This became the driving force that inspired Stedman to embrace Step 2: Create your vision. He said people must become rainmakers, with fresh ideas and meaningful goals that propel them forward and enhance their socio-economic development. Step 2 resulted in Stedman earning his academic stripes, a master’s in education from Ball State University. Along the journey to self-identity and freedom, Stedman believes that “love,” the most powerful word on the planet, defines everything, including the passion that drives you. He called love the center of development and the universal magnet that attracts positive energy and success. A group of eight participants had a “love fest” competition that night to see who could rattle off the most things they loved in 30 seconds. The winner conjured up 24. Most competitors cherished people — beloved family and friends, followed by pets, nature, a fine glass of wine, and a good session of retail therapy. One way of achieving Step 5 — stepping out of your comfort zone by confronting fears and taking risks — comes by expressing, acknowledging and accepting love. According to Stedman, we all share a common denominator: 24 hours a day in which to be productive and achieve our goals and visions. Alas, most of us get stuck in daily habits that prevent us from thinking. This disconnect causes our actions to be misaligned with our thoughts, as we stumble through life as myopic followers rather than as insightful leaders.

Stedman Graham, Jr. (at 6’ 7”) poses with reporter Catharine Kaufman (who is 5’ 2”). Courtesy To the question of what path Stedman sees for his own future, he points to Step 7: Build your dream team, creating a network of supportive relationships and mentors. Stedman said that along his journey, he has adopted many people with traits he admires and characteristics he would like to emulate. If you were to ask who Stedman Graham, Jr., is, no doubt he would refer you to a set of goals, passions, strengths and human imperfections he owns as his identity.

Local Scout wins national scholarship San Diego Scout Matthew Depolo has been awarded the top scholarship an Eagle Scout can win, the Cooke Academic Scholarship. The $48,000 Mabel and Lawrence S. Cooke Scholarship is awarded to one Eagle Scout per year who demonstrates Scouting and Academic Excellence. Matt, a Rancho Santa Fe School alumnus, has been an avid Scout since he was 6 years old. “Joining Cub Scouts transformed my life,” he L-R: Sean Depolo, Laurel Low, Matt Depolo, Jim Depolo said. Matt firmly believes that growing up learning about values, citizenship and community played a large part in who he has become. The teachings and camaraderie provided a great group of friends, and it taught him the value of working together with kids and adults who want to better the lives of others. A graduate of Torrey Pines High School, Matt was a Scout with the San Diego Imperial Council and Rancho Santa Fe Scout Troop 766. Along with the Cooke Academic Scholarship, he received the NESA Belcher Eagle Scholarship, and TPHS RSF Rotary, CSEA, Union Plus, VUSD, and the Global Leadership Connection scholarships. The Cooke Academic Scholarship is sponsored by the National Eagle Scout Association NESA, and was started by Lawrence S. Cooke in honor of his late wife. What Matt learned in Scouts drives his interests today. A freshman at UC Irvine, studying bio-medical engineering, he is keenly interested in bio-engineering and prosthetics, and hopes to travel abroad with a heart surgeon during his junior year at UC Irvine. He has found that Boy Scout skills have really come in handy. His first-quarter engineering lab required designing and actually building a quad copter as a group project. After an Eagle Project, planning and getting people to work together was no problem, nor was actually doing the work, building and putting it together. Twelve years of Scouting have given Matt many skills beyond the usual Boy Scout readiness; however, he said the basics are still very useful. “Whether it’s a cut in the lab or from a game of late night tag, I make sure to have a handy supply of first aid supplies around to assist when someone twists an ankle or gets a cut.” As he said, “I might as well put what I know to good use.” Growing up in a Scouting family is a way of life. His brother, Sean, a sophomore at UC Berkeley, is also an Eagle Scout; and his father, Jim Depolo, was the chairman and a Scoutmaster for many years, while his mother, Laurel Low, was a den leader for both boys from Tiger through their Arrows of Light. Matt attained Eagle Scout Rank along with a Bronze and Gold Palm. Becoming an Eagle Scout takes years of perseverance and dedication. He attributes his tenacity to the leadership and inspiration of Scoutmasters Glenn Doshay, Jeff Jensen, Dan Claxton, and his father, as well as assistant Scoutmasters Rick Barrera, John Stiker, Rich Kuntz and many others who “dedicate their time and energy to helping kids.” Matt encourages everyone one to consider joining Scouts. “It is a journey and a way of doing things that will change how you view yourself in this world. Making a positive contribution to society is foremost. As a Scout, living a life with honor and compassion is a given.” Information about Scouting is available at www.nesa.org and www.sdicbsa.org.

R. Roger Rowe students raise $900 for service animals through bake sale The fourth-grade class at R. Roger Rowe School recently raised $900 for service animals helping wounded veterans through a bake sale held earlier this month. The theme for their fourth-grade “acts of kindness” is military, so the class decided to help wounded troops who live in San Diego. In November, they made banners to hang in the barracks of the wounded troops at Balboa Hospital to help decorate for the holidays. They also donated some money to purchase Petco gift cards for the troops’ service dogs. They were advised by an advocate that many of the troops have service dogs and they make sure that their dogs eat very well. The food is very expensive, so they appreciate the help with that expense. www.warriorfoundation.org.

The Country Friends announces 2015/16 board, names Deborah Cross new president The Country Friends recently announced its 2015/16 Board of Directors, led by President Deborah Cross, a member of the board for the past six years. “I am honored to lead this wonderful team of staff and volunteers, continuing The Country Friends’ commitment to those most in need throughout San Diego County.” A native San Diegan, Cross graduated from San Diego State University with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in audiology. She founded Hearing Dynamics in 1983 and remained in private practice for 15 years, until the business was sold to Sonus Hearing Care. After several years with Sonus, Cross retired to spend more time with her family. She and husband Les Cross, Del Mar residents, have long been active in charitable pursuits, including serving on the board of directors for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. Les has been actively involved with the Marine Corps Scholarship Fund and is on the board of the USS Midway Foundation. The Crosses will be very active in The Country Friends Legacy Campaign to raise $1 million to pay off the construction loan on The Consignment Shop in Rancho Santa Fe, allowing more money to be distributed to local human care agencies, and to create an endowment fund to ensure The Country Friends will continue to give back to the community. Every year, the board carefully selects each prospective San Diego County-based agency on its individual funding request. Selected agencies must continually meet the organization’s benefits and funding criteria, and more important, support The Country Friends’ mission to support human care agencies with emphasis on those providing services to women, children, the elderly and persons with disabilities. The 2015 selected agencies are: Angel’s Depot, Angels Foster Family Network, Armed Services YMCA, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters, Burn Institute, Canine Companions, Casa de Amparo, Center for Community Solutions, Connor’s Cause for Children, Elder Law and Advocacy, Foster Grandparents Program, Friends of San Pasqual Academy, Friends of Vista Hill, Glenner Memory Care, Helen Woodward Animal Center, Hospice of The North Coast, Include Autism, LightBridge Hospice, Mama’s Kitchen, North County Health Project, Palomar Child Abuse Program, Palomar Family Counseling, Partnership with Industry, Philanthropy Club Foundation, Pro Kids The First Tee of San Diego, Promises2Kids, Ronald McDonald House Charities, San Diego Blood Bank, San Diego Brain Injury Foundation, San Diego Food Bank, San Diego Second Chance Program, Serving Seniors, Social

Let the conversation begin: End-of-life discussions are important, say doctors BY JOE TASH As a medical student and later a physician, Donald Ritt was surrounded by a culture that prides itself on prolonging the lives of its patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I learned along the way was to cure and save lives, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nobody dies on my shift,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Ritt, who practiced as a gastroenterologist for 45 years, including a stint as chief of staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. That changed for Ritt five years ago when, at age 75, he launched a palliative care program at Scripps, which worked with some 2,000 patients in its first three years. Palliative care, according to Ritt and his colleague, Karl Steinberg, a geriatrician who cares for patients in nursing homes, is a medical sub-specialty focused on reducing suffering and improving quality of life, rather than curative treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a society, we have a great deal of difficulty approaching death,â&#x20AC;? said Ritt, who is now retired and speaks on end-of-life issues to homeowner associations in North County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that some of the life-sustaining systems are really not addressing quality (of life). End of life needs to be quality of life as well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of education and conversation. People have to let their loved ones know what they want and what they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not stuck on a ventilator for months on end, wishing they could die but not being able to articulate that to anybody,â&#x20AC;? said Steinberg, who along with his medical practice is president of the board of the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California. The two physicians recently met with a reporter in their quest to educate the public on end-of-life issues, and about ways for people to make sure their desires regarding end-oflife care are known by their families and doctors. One important document, they said, is called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment,â&#x20AC;? or POLST. The document is signed by the patient and his or her doctor. It spells out what treatment is desired if the patient stops breathing and has no pulse. The POLST form can be downloaded from the CCCC website (coalitionccc.org), and may also be available at doc-

torâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices. It is especially important for those nearing the end of their lives, said Ritt and Steinberg, and should be posted in a prominent place in the home, such as on the refrigerator, and also given to the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor and family members. Another document that works in conjunction with the POLST, they said, is the advance directive, which designates who patients want to make medical decisions if they are incapacitated. Palliative care is separate from â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but related to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hospice care, said Ritt and Steinberg. In order to be eligible for hospice care, they said, patients must have a prognosis of six months or less to live, and decide to forgo further lifeprolonging or curative treatment. Palliative care, on the other hand, is designed to relieve suffering and improve quality of life, and can be an adjunct to curative treatment, they said. Observation of palliative care programs, said Ritt, has shown that patients with life-threatening illnesses such as

cancer actually live longer when their suffering is relieved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole approach of palliative care is to relieve suffering, and in that capacity, patients do better,â&#x20AC;? Ritt said. Palliative care is a team-based approach, said Steinberg, and includes medication for pain, nausea, anxiety and other symptoms, as well as counseling and spiritual support for those who want it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to that person, what makes their life meaningful,â&#x20AC;? said Steinberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a lot of people, that can have religious or spiritual overtones.â&#x20AC;? Resources include the San Diego County Coalition for Improving End-of-Life Care, and TheConversationProject. org. In North County, the Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Encinitas is sponsoring a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;? from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. March 21, when attendees are invited to â&#x20AC;&#x153;have tea and cake and a rich conversation.â&#x20AC;? The Seaside Center for Spiritual Living is at 1613 Lake Drive in Encinitas. Death is a taboo subject in our culture, said the two physicians, but it really shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like hitting the finish line. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all on that bullet train,â&#x20AC;? said Steinberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to think about it constantly, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a part of all of our lives.â&#x20AC;?

In â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Euphoria,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; writer takes readers on a journey to another world BY JOE TASH â&#x20AC;&#x153;Euphoria,â&#x20AC;? Lily Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth novel, is a departure for the author â&#x20AC;&#x201D; up to that point in her writing career, she had written domestic novels, set in the Western world, about families. But after reading a short chapter in a biography of anthropologist Margaret Mead, set in the jungle along the Sepik River in what is now Papua New Guinea, King was hooked. She began researching the story, and then set out to write her own novel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based on a short period of Meadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life when she was working in the field with her second husband, and she met and fell in love with the man who would become her third husband. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were caught in a really intense love triangle that had malarial fevers, intellectual breakthroughs, threats of violence, and moments of great joy and moments of great despair,â&#x20AC;? said King, who spoke at the Feb. 13 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel, published in 2014, tells the story of Nell Stone, loosely based on Mead, during a few months in the 1930s when she and the other two main characters, her husband and an anthropologist she falls in love with named Andrew Bankson, lived and worked together in what was then called the Territory of New Guinea. The book follows the three scientists as they grapple with their job of chronicling and understanding the lives of tribal peoples along the river, and their own personal needs and desires. The story is rich with detail about the living conditions of the anthropologists and their subjects, including

clothing, rituals, diet and language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Euphoriaâ&#x20AC;? has received a number of accolades, including the designation as one of the 10 best books of 2014 by The New York Times. King met with a reporter and a group of creative writing students from Cathedral Catholic High School before her talk, discussing her writing process and inspirations. While she invented the charactersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dialogue and much of the plot, she drew from extensive research, including Meadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own writings, to set the scenes in the book. She said she did not feel tethered to historical accuracy, even though her characters were based on real people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave myself free rein pretty early on,â&#x20AC;? she said. Among her challenges was capturing the motivations that brought each of the three anthropologists to the jungles of the South Pacific, and their private passions. In one segment, Bankson, an Englishman, asks Nell Stone about her favorite part of anthropological field work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that moment about two months in, when you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finally got a handle on the place. Suddenly it feels within your grasp. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a delusion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only been there eight weeks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s followed by the complete despair of ever understanding anything. But at that moment the place feels entirely yours. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the briefest, purest euphoria,â&#x20AC;? Nell Stone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bloody hell,â&#x20AC;? (Bankson) laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christ, no. A good day for me is when no little boy steals my underwear, pokes it through with sticks, and brings it back

difficult to wrest herself away from her work when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to pick up the kids from school, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really hard at 2:30 or quarter to three, to transition to the real world,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Euphoriaâ&#x20AC;? is available on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and most book stores. For more information, visit www.lilykingbooks. com.

Literary Society Chapter leader Kelly Colvard, author Lily King, Chapter President Candace Humber. Photo by McKenzie Images stuffed with rats.â&#x20AC;? King said she prefers to write her first draft by hand in a spiral-bound notebook, then type chunks of the book into her computer.

New UCSD dean aims to strengthen arts in education BY WILL BOWEN If you add the letter “A” for Arts to the educational acronym STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) you get STEAM. Moving from STEM to STEAM by strengthening the role of the arts is the new buzz in education, where an interdisciplinary focus is growing and the traditional dichotomy between the arts and the sciences is fading fast. A native of Venice, Italy, Cristina Della Coletta hopes to contribute to the “renaissance” of STEAM learning as the new Dean of Arts & Humanities at UC San Diego. From her large-windowed office on the fourth floor of the Literature Building, Della Coletta has an expansive view of Warren Mall — all the way to the Stuart Art Collection’s “Snake Path,” which winds up the hill to the Geisel Library. She can also see the “Fallen Star,“ the little blue house perched on the corner of the top of the Engineering Building, as well as hundreds of students scurrying to their classes below, to whom she hopes to teach “durable skills in the arts and humanities … skills that can last a lifetime ... or longer.” “This is a phenomenal university,” she said, glancing back from the window during a recent interview. “It is a powerhouse which is growing at an extraordinary pace. If you look at the more traditional colleges, they just don’t have the interdisciplinary thrust that UCSD has become famous for. “Here there is a marriage of the theoretical and the practical; science meets up with the humanities. You see music theorists alongside music performers, art historians mingling with studio artists, engineers talking to literature professors. This great interdisciplinary focus is why I wanted to work here!” Before coming to UCSD, Della Coletta

taught Italian at the University of Virginia and was its associate dean of arts and sciences. “What impresses me about UCSD is that it has more of a sense of the imminence of the future than anywhere else I have seen,” she said. “Here, the present is related to the past, but not subservient to it, and the focus is on becoming something new. People are willing to take risks and are full of curiosity about what is behind the next corner. What powers it all is diversity. Diversity of race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation and interest.” She said there are three things she hopes to accomplish as Dean of Arts & Humanities. “The first is to expand the humanities to have a more global perspective,” she said. “Second, I want to encourage more collaboration between the arts and sciences — especially in the study of larger cultural areas or global issues, such as global warming or migration and immigration. Third, I want to bring more focus to practical ethics or how we should approach topics like genetics, big data and biomedicine.” Della Coletta also hopes to bring more residents from the surrounding communities to the campus for lectures and events, and send out more teachers to the local schools to instruct about special topics. Her Italian upbringing in picturesque Venice has left an indelible impression on her and how she views things. She is the only child of an electrical engineer and an accountant-turned-homemaker. “We lived in an apartment, like everyone else,” she said. “My father worked for a corporation in the Marghera industrial area. Everyone knew everyone else. It was a safe place. I loved to roam the island. I remember it as a very happy world.”

Phyllis Pfeiffer named president of U-T Community Press group U-T San Diego has named Phyllis Pfeiffer as the president of U-T Community Press. Pfeiffer, who previously served as the organization’s vice president, will lead the continued growth and evolution of U-T Community Press’ nine renowned community-focused newspapers: La Jolla Light, Rancho Santa Fe Review, Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News, Solana Beach Sun, Poway News Chieftain, Rancho Bernardo News Journal, Ramona Sentinel and the new Encinitas Advocate. Pfeiffer brings a depth of knowledge and experience, having begun her newspaper career at the La Jolla Light, where she served as publisher from 1977-1987. “Phyllis is an important member of the executive team that steers not only the community papers, but all of our efforts,” said Jeff Light, U-T San Diego president and editor. “Her industry credentials and personal character make Phyllis a person of rare insight and good judgment — precisely the sort of executive we need in the leadership of this company.”

Phyllis Pfeiffer Papa Doug Manchester, publisher of U-T San Diego, added, “I have known Phyllis for 30 years and have always admired her dedication to excellence in journalism and especially her leadership skills. I am most confident of her ability to take the community newspapers to additional heights.” Pfeiffer left the Light more than 25 years ago to become general manager of the Los Angeles Times San Diego Edition. After the Times closed in San Diego, she headed north to become president and publisher of the Marin Independent Journal. She later became vice president of advertising and marketing for the Contra Costa Times and senior vice president of advertising for the San Francisco Chronicle.

“The transition to U-T San Diego ownership in 2014 has been a boost to local community journalism,” said Pfeiffer. “The weekly newspapers that make up U-T Community Press have retained their independent voices, their local staffs, and the editorial content that is tailored to each community.” Pfeiffer noted that another big benefit of this new association has been the U-T San Diego’s encouragement and financial support to bring more local news to other San Diego communities, along with sophisticated digital marketing programs for small businesses in these areas. “Readers can look forward to better mobile and online access to our community news and information in 2015 and beyond,” she said. A graduate of Cornell University, Pfeiffer is the founding chair of the La Jolla Community Foundation and a member of the Chancellor’s Community Advisory Board at UC San Diego. She lives in La Jolla with her husband, Stephen Pfeiffer, a forensic clinical psychologist.

‘What impresses me about UCSD is that it has more of a sense of the imminence of the future than anywhere else I have seen,’ says Cristina Della Coletta, new dean of Arts & Humanities at UCSD. Photo by Erik Jepsen. After high school, Della Coletta went to college at the University of Venice. “My second year, I got a scholarship to go to any UC school I wanted to as an exchange student. I chose UCLA, so I could to study with Professor Martha Banta, who was a specialist in the study of Henry James, an author I admired.” At UCLA, she lived off campus with other foreign exchange students and struggled to learn English. She also met Mike Thrift (now an environmental lawyer), whom she would eventually marry after a long-term long-distance relationship. The couple have two children, a son at the University of Virginia and a daughter at La Jolla High School. After a year at UCLA, Della Coletta went back to Venice to finish college, and then chose the University of Virginia

because it was one of the few places that would accept graduate students in the middle of the year. As it turned out, U of V was a very comfortable place for Della Coletta because of the extensive use of the Italian-influenced architectural style known as “palazzo.” There were tall white columns everywhere that made her feel at home. There, Della Coletta switched her focus to Italian literature and taught Italian for the language department. Della Coletta and her husband-to-be decided they would both go to the same college for graduate study. That turned out to be UCLA, which accepted her to study Italian and him to study law. At UCLA, Della Coletta turned her doctoral research into a book about how historical fiction can offer a unique perspective for examining history. She has also written about Italian world fairs, and the transition of books into movies, such as the transformation of the American novel, “The Postman Always Rings Twice,” into the Italian film, “Ossessione.” — Cristina Della Coletta can be reached by e-mail at dean-ah@ucsd.edu.

CCA student plays at Carnegie Hall Joo Seung Kim, a student at Canyon Crest Academy, was selected for the 2015 High School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall. He performed Sunday, Feb. 22, on the B-flat clarinet at Carnegie Hall with the Honors Band. Participation in one of the three Honors Ensembles is limited to the highest-rated high school performers from across North America and select schools internationally. A freshman, Joo Seung auditioned this fall for the Honors Performance Series and was accepted after a review by the Honors Selection Board. He joined performers from 49 states, several Canadian provinces, and several foreign countries for the performance. “I think it is very exciting to be able to play in such a famous conJoo Seung Kim cert hall,” said Joo Seung before the performance, “and I believe that there will be a lot of talented students who will be able to create music alongside each other. I am honored to not only be chosen as a finalist in the Honors Performance Series, but to be given the chance to play at Carnegie Hall, a prestigious venue.” According to Program Director Morgan Smith, “Being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each finalist should be extremely proud of accomplishing. We process more than 10,000 nominations annually, selecting only the most talented performers applying on an international level. Working with these conductors and performing at Carnegie Hall is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that these student musicians never forget.” Joo Seung studied music for four years and is a member of the Wind Symphony and Sinfonia Orchestra at the San Diego Youth Symphony. He participates in the Academy of Music and Art for Special Education — San Diego Chapter, the Young Musicians Concert to support the GEH Homeless Shelter, and is the clarinetist at KUMC of San Diego Church. He was also a 2014 Showcase Program Concerto Competition Finalist at the San Diego Youth Symphony and performed in the California State Junior High School Honor Band in 2013 and 2014.

Torrey Pines High football star heading to San Diego State BY ROB LEDONNE When Jack Bailey officially committed to play for the San Diego State Aztec Football team earlier this month, it was the culmination of a lifelong dream. “My grandpa went to San Diego State, and we’ve been going to games together since I was 5,” explained the 6-foot-3 Bailey on a recent Tuesday evening. “That really got me interested in football. When they told me they were offering a full ride scholarship, they brought in my entire family, including my grandpa, and we were in awe. To get an offer is pretty insane. We were all looking at each other with big eyes and wide mouths.” Bailey, a senior at Torrey Pines High School, stood out on a team full of talented Falcon players as a wide receiver — a position he’ll continue to play as an Aztec. “In middle school, I played quarterback, but there’s something about the wide receiver position I’ve always liked,” noted Bailey. “I love going one on one with people. I’m competitive, and it’s a great way to compete.” Bailey first fell into

football thanks to encouragement from his aforementioned grandfather, as well as his father. “My dad is the one who persuaded me into going out there and trying it out,” said Bailey. “I didn’t get very serious about it until the end of my sophomore year. I originally played basketball and was iffy about football. I wound up falling in love with the sport and thought I could do big things as a wide receiver. I also had a good sophomore season playing varsity for Torrey Pines.” After Bailey’s promising sophomore season, he attended a passing league camp at San Diego State, which is when the powers that be within the football program, including coach Rocky Long, first took notice of his talents. “I had a really good first day there,” remembered Bailey. “The next day they ended up offering me the chance to play for them.” Three years later, Bailey officially joined the Aztecs’ ranks on Feb. 6, National Signing Day, and said he couldn’t be happier with his decision. “They were my

very first offer and I’ve felt loyal to them,” he said. “I’m very comfortable with my decision.” Bailey also holds the unique distinction of being the sole San Diego-area recruit for San Diego State’s football program for 2015. During a recent press conference, Aztecs coach Rocky Long explained that in their opinion, “There weren’t a lot of senior football players who were Division 1 caliber,” noting that Bailey was the sole exception. For now, Bailey is on a strict training regimen before he has to report July 5 for practice. He said he will miss playing with the Falcons — a team he’s grown close with over the past few years. “For my last game playing for Torrey Pines, I wasn’t as upset as some of my other teammates, considering I have more football to come,” Bailey said. “I’m sad I won’t be able to play with my friends in an environment like that. You go from practicing and playing with the same kids every day, to knowing I’ll never play with any of them again. It’s bittersweet.”

Fundraiser supporting military, SEAL Beagles arrive at Rancho families to be held March 21 in RSF Coastal Humane Society BY KRISTINA HOUCK About 400 people are expected to raise awareness and funds for military families during the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation’s fourth annual fundraiser March 21 at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Founded in 2008, the nonprofit supports Navy SEALs and their families through a variety of programs. “The Del Mar Country Club is honored to host the SEAL-NSW Family Foundation again this year,” said foundation board member Dominique Plewes, who is co-chairing the event with her mother, philanthropist Madeleine Pickens, for the second consecutive year. The fundraiser has always taken place at the Del Mar Country Club, which is owned by Pickens. “I don’t think that any of us can be too thankful for our military and their families,” Plewes said. “And as a board member, I know how important these programs are and what a difference it makes in their lives.” The fundraiser will kick off with a scramble golf tournament, followed in the evening with a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions, and dinner and entertainment. Professional golf coach Hank Haney will provide a pre-tournament clinic and exhibition for all players. During the gala, Crisa Herzog, daughter of retired Navy SEAL Chief Mike Sandlin, will sing the National Anthem. Gen. Michael Hayden, a retired four-star general who served as director of the CIA and the NSA, will be the keynote speaker. “You can’t do enough to help these families,” said Plewes, who noted the cause is close to her heart, as her father, Robert Richter, served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. “If anyone can give back, they should. The Navy SEALs and their families deserve it more than anything.” With the motto “Taking care of their family while they protect ours,” the foundation raises awareness and funds for programs in direct support of NSW families on a local, national and global scale. In 2014, the foundation spent $2.4 million on a variety of support programs and organizations, including NSWKids, a nonprofit that provides educational diagnostic testing and tutoring to families in the NSW com-

Thirty-five beagles, ranging from puppies to pregnant moms to adults, were taken in a caravan of six vehicles to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society on Feb. 23. The animals were taken from the home of a suspected hoarder. Some of the dogs and puppies are expected to become available for adoption in the next few weeks at Rancho Coastal Humane Society and El Cajon-based Four Paws Coonhound Rescue and Friends. “Four Paws Rescue contacted RCHS about these beagles and also a female pug, her puppies, and five other adult pugs,” said RCHS President Jim Silveira. “The owner was no longer able to provide care for the dogs and she needed our help. Pug Rescue is in the process of finding homes for the pugs. The beagles will be coming here. As soon as they’re examined, vaccinated, altered, and pronounced to be in good health, they’ll be released by our medical director.

Courtesy photo The litters vary from an adult female with one puppy to another with a litter of seven. There are four pregnant female Beagles and another five adults with no puppies. Silveira says that it’s a lucky coincidence that the 35 beagles will be arriving just days after a beagle named “Miss P” won the title of “Best of Show” at the Westminster Dog Show. “For these 35 beagles, the timing couldn’t be better. Beagles are in the spotlight. The attention should attract potential adopters to RCHS and Four Paws, helping to find homes for the beagles and the other dogs in our kennels and foster care.” The puppies are expected to become available for adoption in the coming months.

Other foundation-supported programs and services include family services, emergency assistance, transition assistance, wounded care, bereavement support and remembrance support. “There’s a lot of great programs already in existence. We work in complementing where there might be gaps,” said executive director Bill Fenick, who joined the foundation in November after serving in the U.S. Navy for 28 years. He most recently served as director of public affairs and corporate communication for the Naval Special Warfare Command in San Diego, a position he held since 2010. “Our mission talks to supporting the individual and the family through a bunch of programs,” added Fenick, who grew up in a Navy family. “They’re targeted to maintain a resilient, sustainable and healthy force. We believe that resilient families will help create a more resilient force.” The golf and gala fundraiser attracted 400 guests and raised more than $1.3 million last year. Few tickets are available for this year’s nearly sold-out event. “It’s a well-attended and popular event because it’s got a really meaningful purpose,” Fenick said.

Dorothy Ziskin 1924 – 2015 Dorothy passed away peacefully on January 16, 2015, after 90 glorious years. Cherished by her family and many friends, she will be missed and remembered as vivacious, intelligent, indomitable, and kind – a remarkable woman with an infectious laugh who celebrated life every single day. Born in Toledo, Ohio, to Clarence and Anna Schaefer during the “Roaring Twenties,” Dorothy came of age during the Great Depression of the 1930s

and World War II that followed. Through these challenging times, her character was forged by strength of her family and the core values of her Midwestern upbringing, which sustained and empowered her throughout her life. Dorothy attended Old Orchard Elementary and DeVilbiss High School in Toledo, then went on to the University of Michigan and became a registered nurse. She then joined the Army Air Force where she attained the rank of lieutenant. While stationed in Tampa, FL, Dorothy met Al Ziskin, an Air Force pilot and World War II veteran, at McDill Air Force Base. They were married in 1953 and settled in Palm Springs, CA, where they started a family and Al launched a successful business career. In 1964, Dorothy, Al, and their ﬁve children moved to Rancho Santa Fe, CA. In addition to her busy family life, Dorothy devoted her considerable energies to the Audubon

Society, Head Start, the National Wildlife Federation, and the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, where she spoke to grade school classes about the importance of being kind to animals. She also served as chairwoman of the Altar Guild for St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar, CA, for over 25 years. Dorothy was a lifelong learner and voracious reader with an expansive memory who loved books, poetry, music, movies, the theater, and travel, and an avid swimmer who swam a mile nearly every day at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in Solana Beach, CA. Dorothy is survived her children, Michael, Suzanne, Barbara and Peter; grandchildren, David Watts, Kelly Gray, Sarah Ziskin and Rachel Ziskin; and brother, John Schaefer. She is preceded in death by her husband, Alvin; daughter; Patricia; and sister, Barbara. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ ranchosantafereview.

LETTERSPOLICY

BY MICHAEL LOBATZ, MD During the past few years, there have been several news reports about older San Diegans with dementia wandering away from their homes and getting lost. More than 50,000 people in San Diego County have dementia, which is characterized by serious cognitive impairment, significant memory loss, confusion and behavioral changes. As the baby boom generation ages and dementia becomes more prevalent, stories like these may as well. This is why it’s important to learn as much as possible about the most common type of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease. Here are some key facts to know: The number of people with Alzheimer’s is growing here and across the nation. Alzheimer’s disease affects 5.2 million people in the United States. Most people with Alzheimer’s disease are 65 and older, and our aging population will cause these numbers to grow tremendously. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, by 2050 the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s may nearly triple. As more people develop dementia, more caregivers, money and resources will be needed to help care for them. People with Alzheimer’s ultimately become unable to care for themselves. On average, Alzheimer’s progresses over roughly a decade, from onset to severe disability and death. Some cases will advance much more quickly, while others may go on for more than 15 years. Alzheimer’s gradually disrupts the “executive function” of the brain that allows people to make and remember a plan, execute it, check their work and have appropriate filters in place for interpreting new information. Signs of the disease may be mild at first, such as forgetting recently learned information or having trouble finding a familiar location. As it progresses, the effects become increasingly severe. People may find it difficult to complete normal cognitive tasks such as planning, or managing more complex mental tasks like paying bills. Eventually, Alzheimer’s robs people of their ability to perform basic activities of day-to-day living such as dressing or preparing meals. At this point, they require caregivers to help ensure that they are eating properly, caring for their personal hygiene and not endangering themselves. The responsibility of caring for a person with Alzheimer’s often goes to family members and friends, and can be extremely stressful. If patients do not employ a professional caregiver, this role often goes to spouses,

children, other family members and friends—and the stress can quickly become overwhelming. In addition to caring for their own families, working, and taking care of their own needs, caregivers face significant physical and emotional challenges. Caring for a person with dementia often means not only helping with their daily needs, but handling financial and legal matters such as medical costs, wills and health care directives. Emotionally, caregiving can be devastating. Caregivers who are very close to the patient may find it heartbreaking to witness the changes taking place and accept that they will not improve. To make matters worse, many caregivers feel helpless, especially if they are trying to take on the responsibilities alone. Resources are available to help caregivers care for their patients—and themselves. Caregivers may not be aware of the many resources available to them, such as education covering the skills and knowledge needed to care for someone with dementia, in-home and day care services, medical care and legal assistance. Community organizations, health care systems and support groups can provide valuable assistance. In addition to caring for their patients, caregivers must take care of themselves. It is vital that they eat well, exercise, get enough sleep, take breaks from their responsibilities and enjoy personal time. If the stress of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s takes a toll on the caregiver’s health, the patient will often struggle and may eventually have to be placed in a full-time care facility. When caregivers learn to effectively manage stress, both they and their patients benefit. In fact, one of the measurements Alzheimer’s researchers use to determine how well treatments are helping is the stress level of the caregiver. If treatments are successful, caregiver stress tends to be lower, and both patients and caregiver do better. For more information on Alzheimer’s and resources for caregivers, visit the Alzheimer’s Association’s Caregiver Center at www.alz.org/care/ or call the 24-hour helpline at 1-800-272-3900.

Rant with Randi: Lessons from my dad: What to ask for BY RANDI CRAWFORD Have your parents ever given you really good advice? Have they helped you to be a better parent by telling stories that your kids could relate to? I recently had one of those experiences. My son had lacrosse tryouts, and he is uber-focused (Uber — my next rant, different context) on perfection. The pressure he puts on himself to be great is unrealistic and unhealthy. His mind starts wandering to all of the possible scenarios that could take place, instead of focusing on the goal, which is to make the team. I was trying to find a way to explain to him that his attitude will make or break him. I told him to clean out all of the “junk” in his brain and hit “the reset button,” the way he does in the video game “Call of Duty” (fine, another rant). I was unsuccessful in my method. The next day, I was on the phone with my father when he told me a story that put it all into perspective. When he was in high school, he played football in a “working man’s” town in Boston, where the big event each weekend was going to watch the high school football game. The stadium was always packed, because football was the only thing to do. Basically, if you played football, you were “the man.” And if you hung around town, it’s all people were talking about. One Friday, his team was playing their rival and the score was tied. It was the end of the game and the running back for the other team had blown by the entire defense on my father’s team. The only thing standing between winning or losing the game was my father’s ability to take down the running back (he played safety). This isn’t Hollywood, and he wasn’t the hero. The running back blew past my dad, who lost the tackle, and his team lost the game. He had let down the entire town, his team and his coach. And the worst part (according to my father), was that the team would be watching film later that week, and going over that play, again and again. His anxiety for film night, and reliving that moment, felt like someone repeatedly stabbing him in the heart. But on film night, his

coach got to the infamous play, paused the film, and said this to my father: “Ed, it’s not what God does, but what you ask of Him that will determine your course in life. You can look at that running back and say, ‘Please God, send him the other direction and I’ll be there to support whoever else has to make the tackle,’ or you can say, ‘Please God, send him directly to me because I’m going to take him down and win this game.’” And then, just like that, the coach moved on to the next play. According to my father, it was the most significant advice that anyone had ever given him in his life. “It’s not what God does, but what we ask of Him.” My interpretation is that you can look at any situation, like this weekend’s tryouts, and think of about 100 reasons why you won’t make the team. You start going over the odds, you name all of the kids who are better than you or have been playing longer, it’s an early tryout and you’ll be tired, the weather stinks, and the list goes on. Or you can ask God to “Bring it” because you’re going to beast-mode this tryout and scare the heck out of every kid there. As a parent, we constantly look for ways to make life easier for our kids. I think there’s a term for it — where you knock down barriers before your kid ever has to experience them. Maybe it’s a bulldozer parent? I told my son this story before his tryout, and I think it clicked. Instead of asking God for my son to make the team, I will ask God to help my son have the courage to know what to ask for. Did he clear the “junk” and ask God to bring it? Who knows? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: This parenting job is no joke. Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com.

TPHS Scholarship Fund seeking applicants BY ROB LEDONNE Since the Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund began giving scholarships to deserving Falcon seniors 28 years ago, they’ve handed out in excess of $1 million. “It’s rewarding, but it’s also a lot of work,” said Karin Lang, who is the co-president of the fund with Mary Stromitis. “The fund is meant to give students encouragement to continue their education beyond high school.” This year, the volunteer staff behind the fund is at it again, as staffers are looking for 30 to 40 students to reward with money. But as Stromitis stresses, the scholarships awarded don’t have to be just for four-year universities. “This fund is for every Torrey Pines senior who is headed off to any kind of postsecondary education,” she said. “This includes any school that’s accredited, whether it’s a trade or vocational school, or any twoor four-year college as well.” The fund, which relies on donations from throughout the community, first began 28 years ago as Dollars for Scholars. It has since become its own 501(c)3 (which merited the name change) and has awarded financial help to countless students. “Many past recipients have gone on to greater things,” noted Lang of the fund’s rich history. “We recently met a doctor who works for UCSD who benefited from the fund when it first started. We like awarding money to all kinds of students, from those who are the first to go to college in their family and may really need the money, to high achievers.”

COACH

It is estimated that one-third of the students who apply will end up receiving scholarship money. This year, the fund is planning to give out about $40,000 in scholarship money and requires students to undergo a rigorous interview process. The completion of an essay is also required. The entire process is designed to vet the most deserving candidates, as well as prepare students for applying to jobs and programs in the real world. Various scholarships are available this year, including some in specific categories. “We received a donation from (Encinitas-based) Hansen Surfboards, and they requested that their scholarship goes toward a student who surfs,” said Lang. Other scholarships given this year will go to students in various sports, including softball, as well as science and other subjects. Memorial scholarships in memory of deceased students are also available. Board members, some of whom have been part of the fund for the past 28 years, encourage students from all backgrounds to apply. Said Stromitis, “The scholarship amount is not a huge amount of money — it won’t be enough for a full ride — but thanks to the high cost of college these days, every dollar counts.” If you’re a deserving Torrey Pines senior interested in applying, find more information at www.TPHSSF.org. Applications must be received by midnight March 13 in order to be considered. Scholarships available this year range from $500 to $1,000.

dents of Kingsbury’s alleged behavior and meetings dating to the 2013 season with Principal Karl Mueller and then-Athletic Director Jeff Copeland. Despite complaints throughout the 2013 season, Copeland nominated Kingsbury for “CIF Female Coach of the Year,” and she was brought back to coach a second season in 2014. This season, four families notified Mueller of Kingsbury’s behavior via emails and face-to-face meetings. According to the parents’ documentation, at the beginning of the 2014 season, two players missed a game because of the ACT exam. When the team lost, Kingsbury texted them a message saying “thanks a lot.” According to the complainants, players were allegedly told that they “didn’t fit in,” were personally blamed for losses, told that they were “terrible” and that they “sucked.” There were also complaints about playing time. Parent Kari Abulhosn said she watched as her daughter Izzy’s self-confidence and excitement about playing the sport were replaced with sadness, tears and doubting her abilities to the point where she was paralyzed on the field. After one practice, the Abulhosns met with Kingsbury to discuss their daughter’s treatment and were told her comments were taken out of context. The Abulhosns allege that Kingsbury said she had difficulty figuring Izzy out because their daughter “has no personality.” “Her one connection with CCA was stripped away,” Kari Abulhosn said. “I’m angry that my child was harmed from a school activity, a school we thought was safe.” After the fifth field hockey practice where her daughter Madison came home crying, Sandi McIntyre met with school administration. She said Madison did not want to play for Kingsbury any longer, but she refused to let the coach “win” by driving her to quit.

“It has been our experience CCA only wants to preach about bullying, but doesn’t want to do anything about it,” McIntyre said. “One child being bullied by a coach is one too many.” As this is a personnel issue, said CCA Principal Mueller, he could not comment on the specific steps taken to support the school’s student athletes. “In all aspects of our school community, bullying is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Mueller said. “As an academic institution committed to continuous improvement and growth, we are working closely with our staff (and in collaboration with the Positive Coaching Alliance) to focus on nurturing and fostering a positive experience for all of our student-athletes.” Parent Rajy Abulhosn said he was stunned that their concerns were brushed off as some kind of misunderstanding. “CCA has chosen to ignore the numerous witnessed and verified incidents in which the coach has humiliated players and crushed their spirit and self-confidence,” he told the school board. “We are here in front of you to show our daughters that standing up to bullying does not have to lead to victim-blaming and indifference.” As Kingsbury attested, some current and former players and parents have rallied to support her, including Doug Rafner, whose daughter, Miranda, was a freshman on the varsity squad this year. “I can’t comment on what the others experienced, but Miranda loved being on the field hockey team,” Rafner said. “It was a great athletic experience for her, and she enjoyed the coach.” Schmitt said that over the past two years, he has received up to 300 e-mails in support of Kingsbury. “Does it really matter how many girls had a great experience?” asked Kari Abulhosn. “A bully doesn’t bully everyone. Does that make what happened to our children any less important?”

having the parent and student first meet with a counselor to request the change. If it’s early in the year, a student might get the change because schools are still balancing classes. However, Grove said, typically classes are balanced and at capacity because the district tends to staff very tightly. “There isn’t a lot of room for students to move,” he said. The district then requests the family meet with the teacher in an attempt to resolve the issue, with a counselor or administrator present. Grove said that most of the time the issue is resolved after that meeting, but if the family is still unhappy, the administrator can step in. A principal can decide to move the student if it is in his or her best interest, he said. “All administrators have the latitude to make that move when they come to the conclusion that it’s appropriate,” Grove said. Parent Anne-Katherine Pugmire, who made the request for the new policy at the Feb. 5 meeting, said she was “perplexed” by what Grove was saying. “I feel like you’re talking about a different district,” she said. “What you’re saying is not the reality of what happened. We were told over and over again that we couldn’t change classes.” Pugmire said she emailed all of the board members and asked to meet with them on the issue, as well as Superintendent Rick Schmitt. She said Schmitt declined to meet with them and said his decision sent a message that when parents come to him with ideas to improve the district, he is unwilling to hear them. Pugmire said she believes they have a solution to a district problem that will create more flexibility and educational excellence.

SDUHSD Board President Beth Hergesheimer said that she did not agree to meet with the parents because of their request to meet with all board members. She said that if all board members met with the group, it could be a de facto board meeting and a violation of the Brown Act. “I think we can have the same goal and continue to move forward on this,” Hergesheimer said. “I think we need to be as flexible as humanly possible,” trustee John Salazar said. He said he understood the parents’ concerns as he believes there are some “terrible” teachers in the district that can’t be removed because of tenure. If the district does, in fact, allow students to shift, he said it should be in writing, and the principals should know they have the authority to grant these moves. Trustee Mo Muir said she wished Schmitt had met with the parents. Schmitt said the district is very clear in its course selection guide with information about adding and dropping classes, but it is less clear on teacher change issues. He said the district would make an effort to communicate more effectively with parents and students and ensure that the change process is “crystal clear.” Schmitt said he would return to the board with updates regarding the situation. In response to Salazar’s comment that there are bad teachers the district can’t do anything about, Grove said that it is each site administration’s No. 1 priority to ensure that the best teachers are in the classroom. Teacher issues need to be addressed, he said, but it takes a collaborative effort on the part of the teacher, the student and the parent.

of recycled water projects. The outside funding is needed because the cost of “purple pipe” projects is high, partly because of the need to build special purple pipelines and separate water storage tanks. Recycled water facility construction costs are estimated at $20 million to deliver up to 700 acre-feet of water per year. This water can then be delivered to a handful of large properties, including a golf course. The use of recycled water would decrease use of potable water, thereby saving it for use by other customers. • Launching an “Advanced Water Purification Concept Study.” This would evaluate the feasibility of taking recycled wastewater and treating it to a level high enough that it could be used for potable water. The study’s purpose is to estimate costs and feasibility. However, for costs similar to those of recycled water, it might provide up to four times as much water that could be used by all customers. This potential cost-effectiveness and ability to deliver much more water makes this project compelling to consider. The district will keep the community informed of progress on all aspects of water supply actions of the board and provide numerous opportunities for the public to learn more and provide input. “The bottom line is that our traditional water sources are under increasing stress — and we are facing chronic water supply shortages if we don’t take action,” said Michael Hogan, president of the Santa Fe Irrigation District Board of Directors. “In these challenging times, it is important to have a diversified portfolio so that when one source is cut off or diminished, the others are available. That is why Santa Fe Irrigation District is working to help our customers conserve water, and continuing to evaluate both recycled water and potable reuse.” At the conclusion of the Advanced Purification study, it is expected that decisions will be made to move forward with either the recycled water or the potable reuse project. The water from either project would be completely drought-proof and provide substantial improved local water supply independence. Visit www.sfidwater.org. — Submitted press release

SPANISH board. Miller said that parents are angry and frustrated because they feel that their concerns are not being heard. “It’s not that we’re not hearing you, it’s got to be the right fit,” RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said. The challenge Delaney said they have is how to fit Spanish into an already crowded curriculum. Delaney has said that to do the program right, Spanish should be offered four days a week. In her experience, she said, when Spanish was offered just twice weekly, teachers reported that students didn’t have any mastery or any retention: Every year, they were starting fresh. To make room for Spanish four times a week will mean another subject has to be subtracted. “I’m here more as a listener today, to listen to your feelings and thoughts and figure out how we should proceed,” Delaney said. For parent Margaret Weimar’s children, foreign language was always a requirement at their previous schools in Palo Alto and Montecito before they moved into the district. When the family lived in Italy, her children took classes in three languages. She understands Delaney’s concerns that the district doesn’t want to offer instruction halfway or just to “check the boxes” — but she said kids with zero exposure to foreign language are going to be behind when they reach high school. “I just want what’s best in terms of preparing our kids for the next step,” Weimar said. “It was just a given in my mind that language would be offered. It’s just shocking. We have the means in our budget to be a nationwide best school. Language is a requirement — it’s not even a discussion point.” Over the years, Delaney said, middle school Spanish

numbers have dwindled and changed as students have more electives to choose from. This year out of 250 middle school students, only 65 have opted for foreign language. Parent Beth Vincik asked if there was a difference in percentage of students continuing with Spanish in middle school when they had some exposure in the lower grades. Delaney said that it didn’t make much of a difference. Miller said she probably wouldn’t choose Spanish as an elective either if she were a teenager, and that’s why she feels it should be a requirement. Parent Nikola Kaminsky said she is probably biased in her opinion, as she is a foreign language teacher. “The goal is not only proficiency, but it’s mostly exposure,” Kaminsky said. Parent Linda Leong agreed, noting that while she might not remember what she learned in college French, she still remembers the French she learned in third grade, through singing little songs. “Most students don’t begin foreign language until grade nine and don’t progress as quickly,” Leong said. “Retention is harder if language is started later.” “It needs to be incorporated into the core curriculum,” Kaminsky said. “This is a great school, no question about it, but the foreign language part is missing.” Parent Alexia Bregman and several other parents said that they are not as concerned with retention, but about the exposure that even a “language light” program two days a week or that offering it in grades K-3 would provide. Bregman said she would love for her kids to speak all the world languages. For now, she is settling for putting her children in Hebrew classes on weekends. She said for her, it’s a big puzzle of how and where Spanish can be fitted into

the day as well as where the funding might come from. Delaney has estimated that adding K-5 Spanish five days a week would cost $250,000 a year. “We’re so fixated on how to do it perfectly,” said parent Beth Vincik. She said the school has many traditions that could be evaluated to make room for a little exposure to Spanish that would serve the children well — such as trimming Ocean Week or the Kind to the Core program. “We need to start looking at the picture differently,” Vincik said. Parent Lorraine Kent proposed that the district put together a committee with parents and teachers to review the schedule, to understand where foreign language could fit in. Delaney said a committee isn’t necessary because if she received a directive from the board to add Spanish five days a week, the school administration would figure out how to fit it into the schedule. A survey conducted in 2005 asked parents about what elective choices they valued and Spanish ranked at the bottom, with science, art and music at the top. “The survey was so long ago,” said Miller. “An official survey from the district needs to be done to see the total population interest. I don’t believe Spanish would be at the bottom again.” Board members Marti Ritto and Tyler Seltzer said no one is more in favor of a survey than the board President Todd Frank, who has advocated for parent surveys on several issues in the past. Delaney said she believes they are moving toward a survey, and the board will consider the issue at the March 5 meeting. “I have been the biggest opponent of a survey because I don’t want to go out to a survey if it’s something I can’t do,” Delaney said.

Local cancer survivor aims to race Half-Ironman in Hawaii BY KAREN BILLING For Jeff Tuetken, 2015 will be a milestone year filled with many hard-earned miles. Tuetken, 57, a cancer survivor and triathlete, hopes to be celebrating reaching five years cancer-free in November, after having crossed the finish lines of several half-Ironmans. This year on March 28, he will race the Ironman 70.3 California and fulfill a dream of racing in Kona at May’s Ironman 70.3 Hawaii. He hopes to schedule in “at least” two more half Ironmans this year. After beating cancer, Tuetken was determined to race again — to get back and see how much he could do. “I enjoyed running, biking and swimming, not because of how fast I was or how many medals I won. It was just something I enjoyed to do,” Tuetken said. “Triathlons are just as fun. I’m just an hour later than I used to be.” Tuetken, an engineer for General Atomics, is a longtime local resident. He wasn’t always an athlete, and his athletic career only really got started when he and his wife, Reba, got a jogging stroller for their 1-year-old son, Adam (now 23). “We started pushing that stroller faster and faster,” said Tuetken. Their fitness progress inspired them to sign up for the Race for Knowledge 5K, a race that ran for more than 20 years in Carmel Valley. Tuetken loved the experience and started training to run longer distances, working up to a half marathon and a full marathon. When running got “boring,” he bought a bicycle, and then started swimming laps at the pool. Reba traveled a fair amount for work, and she recalled their children, Adam and Alyssa, complaining because Tuetken would tote them to the pool and have them count laps for him. That way he could combine a workout with watching the kids. While at the pool, he met several people training for Triathlons are just as much triathlons and thought that was something he could probably do. In 2001, he started with sprint distance triathlons fun as before, says Tuetken. ‘I’m just an hour later (750 meter swim, 12-mile bike and 3.1 mile run), then moved on to Olympic-distance (1.2 mile swim, 25-mile bike than I used to be.’ and 6.2 mile run), and worked his way up to challenging half Ironmans: a 1.2-mile swim, and a 56-mile bike ride, topped off with a 13.1-mile half marathon. In the garage is the family’s wall of fame, covered in race bibs and medals. Reba runs half marathons but leaves triathlons to her husband; she prefers spin class to road racing and doesn’t like swimming. Besides, she said, they both can’t be out on their bikes, as someone has to be home to worry — the way she did in 2010 when Tuetken was in San Francisco for a race and she didn’t hear from him when she had expected to. Turned out he had taken a spill on his bike when a biker wiped out in front of him, landing him in the hospital with a concussion, groin injury and road rash. He was on crutches for a few weeks. While Reba winces, Tuetken, the endurance athlete, recalls the story with a smile. There is nothing that compares with triathlons for him: the test of fitness and strength and the happy celebration at the finish line, the incredible sense of accomplishment. He encourages anyone out there to give triathlons a try: “Somebody will cheer for you,” he said. Tuetken’s life took an abrupt and unexpected turn in 2010. Intense pain brought him to the doctor’s office, pain that just kept getting worse. After several tests and a colonoscopy, Tuetken was diagnosed in November 2010 with stage three colorectal cancer. He was told he had a tumor the size of a golf ball and was given a 50/50 chance of surviving five years. He started a year’s worth of treatment in January 2011, beginning with radiation and chemotherapy. “It was a year of torture,” Reba said, noting that by the end of that first month in January, he was declared 100 percent disabled. “He couldn’t walk from the bedroom to the kitchen, and I’m thinking, ‘This guy just ran a marathon.’” Tuetken underwent two surgeries and went through daily radiation and a 24-hour “chemo fanny pack.” A man who thrived on getting outside and being active was reduced to “waiting around for (my) next treatment.”

Jeff Tuetken at the 2014 Ironman 70.3 California in Oceanside with his wife, Reba, and children Adam and Alyssa. “The chemotherapy was just brutal,” he said. By December 2011, Tuetken was able to return to work on a limited basis. In the past four years, he has returned every three months for check-ups and so far has remained in the clear. “I believe Jeff’s being so healthy and fit prior to treatment was a major contributor to him pulling through the treatment and why he is alive today,” Reba said. However, Tuetken said, “I will never be back to normal. The treatment changes your life forever. I have a lot of collateral damage from the chemotherapy such as permanent neuro-pathy in my feet and hands, and I still have numbness in my hips and a constant ringing in my ears. That stuff will probably never go away.” Because of the permanent damage from chemo, Tuetken said it would be too difficult to ever complete a full Ironman. The nutrition requirements go way up for a full Ironman, and Tuetken’s special diet would never allow him to ingest the amount of nutrients needed to be moving for six or 7 1/2 hours of the race. Per his doctor’s advice, he took it easy his first year of recovery and returned to training and racing in late 2012. Just as with his triathlon beginnings, he started out with sprint and Olympic distances and moved up to finishing a half-Ironman in 2014 at the Ironman 70.3 California in Oceanside. His finish was about an hour behind his fastest time on the course, but the important part was that he finished. He has lost the least amount of time on the bike, which he considers his strongest leg of the race. Now in preparation for this year’s Oceanside and Kona races, Tuetken is training three days a week — running Los Penasquitos Canyon, swimming laps at Bay Club Carmel Valley or running or biking on his favorite route, Coast Highway. “I wish I had more time for training, but I also work 50 hours a week, so it’s tough to get in another workout,” Tuetken said. Ironman Hawaii is considered one of the hardest courses because athletes have to endure heat, humidity and strong winds. Last October, the Tuetkens volunteered as race help on the bike course for the Ironman in Kona, watching as people battled to pedal against 25- mile-per-hour winds. Watching athletes struggle in the bracing wind and scorching heat, Reba couldn’t help but ask her husband: “You still want to do this?” “It beats chemo,” Tuetken said. “At this point in my life, it’s just being able to finish, not winning a medal. If you finish, it’s a victory.” A half-Ironman has always been a challenge for him, before and after beating cancer. It’s all about having the courage and the ability to endure, to finish and to survive. “Half the battle is between the ears,” Tuetken said. “You can always take that one more step and then one more step and eventually, you get there.”

Canyon Crest Academy presents ‘Evita’ starting March 6

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Canyon Crest Academy is staging Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic Tony award-winning show “Evita.” The sung-through musical set to Tim Rice’s lyrics is presented through CCA’s Envision Theatre and is a collaboration of Theatre, Dance, Vocal, Instrumental and Humanities Conservatories. A 2 1/2-hour tour de force, the show features the famed song, “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.” There are 58 cast members and in total a 150 strong team making this the boldest production to date for CCA’s Envision Theatre, said Jeannine Marquie, CCA Envision Theatre Coordinator and show director. “The talent pool of students is phenomenal so it was really hard to choose the lead roles. I wanted to get as many of these talented people involved,” she said. “One of the reasons I chose the show is that there are lots of cameo parts.” Three students have been cast in the lead role of Eva Peron: Madi Rae Dipetro, Sam Tullie and Brooke Patterson, who each represent the three distinct phases of the charismatic yet controversial former first lady of Argentina. “This is definitely one of the most challenging roles that I’ve taken on because its so different,” said Brooke about her role as Eva. “She was such a strong personality, for me it’s an invigorating experience in that sense, and has really helped me to develop as an actor.” Steve Macario plays Che, Constantine Mickens is Juan Peron, Jonas McCullen is Magaldi and Aly Charfaurous plays Peron’s mistress. A large ensemble of vocal, dance and theater students creates a dynamic energy on stage, and the student orchestra provides the musical score. The larger-than-life production crosses many musical genres. “It’s operatic, it’s rock, it’s jazz and it’s Latin rhythms,” said Gabriel Krasovic, ensemble cast member who dances a tango with Elena Eroshkin to the toe-tapping number “Surprisingly Good For You.” Actor and dancer Max Cadillac, CCA guest artist, has designed the production’s choreography, and Leigh Scarritt, one of San Diego’s premier voice teachers, is music director.

L-R: Cameron Chang, Sammy Lurie, Halle Hoffman, Thomas Ferrar, Ravi Gopinathan during rehearsals for “Evita.” Courtesy photo “They both have great talent and bring a lot of energy to the production,” said Marquie. The plot follows the life of Eva, a young Argentinian from humble roots who becomes the powerful wife of a dictator before her tragic death at age 33. Ambitious and hungry for power, she captivated a nation by appealing to the working class. Beside her husband, Juan Peron, Eva became a symbol for hope and change in the Argentine community. To prepare for their roles, cast discussions were an important element. “We talked about different class structures and feminism, as Eva essentially pushed for women’s votes and rights,” said Marquie. Humanities conservatory students gave a presentation to the cast and crew to help underscore the importance of this aspect of the work.

“It was great because I am taking world history this year, and I am singing and acting the things that I am learning in class; it’s a different take on it,” said Gabriel. “I can see the comparisons for the historical aspect and how it has been adapted for the show, and we all have a lot more knowledge about the subject.” Taylor Olson, student stage manager, works after hours and behind the scenes to make the talent shine on stage. “It’s stressful but I’ve found a way to time manage it. It’s a lot of people and it can be very chaotic but I’ve been able to organize all my work knowing exactly what happens and when.” Under Technical Director Jeremy Sewell, with CCA Student Assistant Director Katherine Michel, Taylor’s team of technical con-

servatory members provide sound, light and set design. “I keep everyone on track. It’s really impressive, as all the techs are really committed,” she remarked.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS ‘Magic hands’ are very real for clients of SB massage therapist BY DIANE Y. WELCH Licensed massage therapist Juan Reque has been told by his clients that he has magic hands. His unique personal touch has been relieving chronic pain for his professional and amateur athlete clientele for 20 years; but rather than magic, his expertise has been developed and honed from solid training, world travel, and experience with a roster of top-ranking professional tennis players, he said. For five years, from 2008 through 2013, Reque worked with professional tennis player Maria Sharapova. After her surgery, Reque provided post-operative therapies that have kept Sharapova in top physical condition and pain-free. She is an avid client and a strong supporter of Reque’s work. “There is nobody who knows my body better than Juan Reque, and this is really important when you have a busy schedule and you have to prevent injuries,” stated Sharapova. Reque’s connection with Sharapova stemmed from his work as a trainer for the Association of Tennis Professionals. In this capacity, Reque traveled for five years with the Spanish Davis Cup team, setting up a service network to deal with injury prevention and treatment. A native of Spain, Reque originally earned his physical therapy and sports sci-

ence degrees in 1999, but is also licensed in massage therapy, European physical therapy, and strength and conditioning coaching. He is also an expert in manual therapy, a fact that sets him apart from other physical therapists, he said. “My typical client is someone who has chronic pain, most of the time related to sports,” Reque explained. “They might have tennis elbow, shoulder, knee or lower back problems. And several might be getting physical therapy from other places and have not got better. So they come to me, as I have a different approach, and then they find relief.” Reque uses an innovative hands-on treatment known as Active Release Technique. It is a soft tissue movement-based massage that treats certain tendinopathies and muscle problems. In a large number of chronic injuries, such as muscle strains or joint pains, the injured area presents scar tissue and limitation of movement. ART uses tension with movement to strip scar tissue from muscles and tendons to regain functionality. Reque is also able to hone in on the source of the injury. Rather than simply focusing on the presenting physical symptoms, he determines the principal cause of the problem, which often goes undiagnosed. His treatment concentrates on releasing muscle tension, regaining joint mobility and

Maria Sharapova with Juan Reque: ‘There is nobody who knows my body better than Juan Reque,’ the tennis pro says. activating muscles. Two years ago, Reque completed a specialist course in applied kinesiology. He is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association and has a bachelor’s in sports science and education, strength and conditioning from the University of Madrid, Spain. But he credits his active experience while on the professional tennis circuit for truly bringing his expertise to a level above that of the average physical therapist. “By traveling all over the world, wherever I was working, I learned a lot from the other trainers,” Reque said. Recently moved to offices in Solana Beach, Reque treats NFL and college football players, baseball players and professional tennis players and is increasingly treating junior clients with injuries from soccer and other fast-ball sports. On the flip side of treating injuries, Reque is also able to

help prevent them. His injury-free program is a screening and exercise program that helps both those who are involved in sports and those who are not achieve a good functioning of their bodies and locomotor system. “By doing this, people using the program can prevent or treat injuries, improve their health and, finally, maximize their athletic performance,” Reque said. “I can really evaluate how their muscles are and see if there are some imbalances, and then treat them or recommend exercises to prevent possible injury.” As a special introductory price, Reque is offering a 55-minute session for the price of a 25-minute session, a $40 saving. Visit www.injuryrecoverymassage.com to learn more about Juan Reque’s Injury Recovery Massage or to book an appointment, or call 844-4690704. Offices are at 674 Via de la Valle, #215, Solana Beach.

Sue Britt selected among 10 featured artists in annual San Diego ArtWalk BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a unique technique, local artist Sue Britt transforms ordinary paper into extraordinary works of art. “I created this technique,” said the paper tapestry artist. “It’s not something that I learned from anywhere. It grew out a creative exercise and became a way for me to bring color and interesting shape and contour to my pieces.” Since she became a full-time artist three years ago, others have taken note of her work. Britt was recently selected as one of 10 featured artists for the 31st annual Mission Federal ArtWalk coming up April 25 and 26 in San Sue Britt Diego’s Little Italy. “It’s really exciting,” said Britt. “The recognition is just really nice. The quality of art at ArtWalk is just amazing, so to be part of that is a really nice honor.” Originally from Milwaukee, Britt refers to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul as home. She lived there for about 22 years before relocating to San Diego. “Being a transplant, it affects a bunch of my art,” said Britt, whose work often draws on themes from the Southern California landscape, including the water and the wildfire cycle. “California is just a big inspiration.” Britt has been an artist all her life. With her mother an artist, she grew up drawing and painting. She went on to earn her degree in architecture and worked at it for six years before moving on to the Peace Corps, community

development, and then staying home with her children. Britt developed her technique during a creative exercise with a group of friends called The Artist’s Way. Britt, who formed the group, based it on Julia Cameron’s book, “The Artist’s Way,” which outlines a 12-week creative program with daily exercises and art projects. The 12-week program has since turned into eight years, and through the Artist’s Way, she and many of her friends have discovered not just creative outlets but success in art fields, including photography, weaving and writing. “We all just came together around creativity,” she said. Using her unique technique, Britt has worked as a full-time artist for the last three years. Britt first draws a piece, which is often inspired by sketches from her hikes. Then she wraps homemade paper around pieces of two-ply illustration board. The pieces are then woven and fitted together, often in multiple layers. “I always say my work is ‘the piece that takes over the room,’” Britt said. “It’s really bright, colorful and lively. I like to work big.” In 2012, Britt was accepted into Balboa Park’s Spanish Village Art Center, San Diego’s largest collection of studio artists. Since then, her work has been on display permanently at the center, where she sits on the board. She has also participated in ArtWalk for the past few years. This is her first time, however, as a featured artist, selected from more than 350 participating artists at this year’s festival. “The quality of the work is amazing,”

The show takes place March 21 through April 12 at Gallery 21 in Spanish Village in Balboa Park. Her work will also be featured in “Art Telling,” a show opening July 18 at the Mission Trails Visitor Center. See more about Britt at www.papertapestry.net.

The evening was magical as the girls, from preschool to 10th grade, laughed and twirled their way through the night while dads danced with them to songs ranging from slow ballroom ballads to peppy, upbeat tunes like “Y.M.C.A.” The attendees wore their Valentine’s finest and enjoyed festive desserts prepared especially for the evening. A professional DJ offered group and individual dancing instruction. Photo booths provided guests with keepsakes of the occasion. As the event came to a close, many fathers remarked, “What a special and memorable evening!,” giving fathers and daughters a gift that will last a lifetime.

Seasalt offers ocean fare with decided Italian influence BY KELLEY CARLSON For the concept of his newest restaurant, Salvatore Ercolano decided to just go with the flow. In mid-February, he opened Seasalt Del Mar, a casual, Italian-inspired seafood restaurant that overlooks the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon, with the Pacific Ocean within view. “Seasalt Del Mar is my premier San Diego restaurant,” said Ercolano, who has opened, owned and managed more than 20 restaurants in two decades. “I have always wanted to open a restaurant with a view in Del Mar, and Seasalt Del Mar has the perfect location.” It was only natural for Ercolano to decide on a menu that emphasized seafood because of the establishment’s coastal locale, at 2282 Carmel Valley Road. He opted to include sushi in a nod to the building’s former occupant, Japanese restaurant Eda-mami. “Their customers had been coming for years,” Ercolano said. Yet the majority of Seasalt Del Mar’s fare is influenced by the owner’s Italian background. Ercolano was born on the island of Capri, and began his culinary career at age 18, when he worked with a family-owned business. At age 22, he moved to New York, and served several years as manager of the Mezzaluna trattoria in New York City. Ercolano also had a stint as manager of Italian restaurant Va Bene in Hong Kong, before he landed in San Diego in 1993. It wasn’t long before Ercolano began to make a name for himself in “America’s Finest City.” He started the Zagat award-winning restaurants Bella Luna and Paper Moon in the Gaslamp Quarter, and over the years, he moved northward, as he set up Come On In! cafés in La Jolla, Sorrento Valley Seasalt overlooks the Los Peñasquiand Carmel Valley, and Villa Capri restaurants in tos Lagoon. Poway and Carmel Valley. Seasalt Del Mar is a bit of a departure from Ercolano’s other dining establishments, as a neighborhood seafood bistro that features al fresco dining on two patios. It has an “industrial chic” atmosphere, with reclaimed wood on the walls, concrete countertops, wooden ceiling beams and metal-exposed seamed chairs. There’s also a 25-foot bar where patrons can watch sports on two 50-inch HDTVs. Those looking to celebrate special events can reserve a private room with its own deck. Of course, seafood is the specialty at Seasalt Del Mar, and Ercolano said he aims to keep the menu as healthy as possible. When guests are first seated at tables, they are given options of free bread, edamame with sea salt, or a combination of the two. Executive Chef Hilario Rodriguez prepares a number of dishes using fresh fish, from salmon and halibut to tuna. Some of the signature items are the Dungeness Crab Cake with lemon caper aioli; Seasalt Tuna Scaloppine, featuring seared tuna topped with sliced fennel, pomegranate seeds, shallots and fresh parsley, and served with caramelized onion garlic mashed potatoes; Crab Raviolis “Two Ways,” in spicy pink tomato sauce and light lemon sauce; and the Seafood Stew Cioppino, a medley of fish, celery, onion, fennel and oregano in a light tomato sauce. Ercolano added that he soon plans to start bringing in Maine lobster on weekends, on a seasonal basis. While seafood takes center stage at Seasalt Del Mar, there are plenty of other alternatives, from chicken and steak entrees to salads, soups and sliders. Some of the notables are the Roman Style Artichokes sautéed with olive oil and garlic, and sprinkled with basil and parsley; and The Seasalt Salad with baby spinach, chopped Belgian endive, sliced beets, sliced apples and crumbled cranberry goat cheese, with a white wine balsamic vinaigrette. The family-friendly menu also has a number of children’s favorites, such as Crusted Chicken Fingers with fries, Mac & Cheese and Fettuccine Alfredo. Those with a sweet tooth can find delectables that range from Tiramisu to the Seasalt Gelato (caramel and dark chocolate). Guests who desire libations can choose from more than 50 wines from around the world, eight craft beers from local breweries, and specialty cocktails made with Han Spirits. While Seasalt Del Mar has a relatively inexpensive menu — the highest-priced items are $24 — it still offers a number of specials throughout the week. Patrons can get 50 percent off

free session helps support grieving youngsters Local San Diego youth coping with loss have been able to find support and comfort at Camp Erin San Diego, a free overnight weekend camp, led by the Center for Compassionate Care of The Elizabeth Hospice. “Camp Erin helped me in so many ways,” said Makayla, 13, who experienced the death of both parents. “One way is to put all of my anger and grief into something positive instead of negative. They tell me that it is OK to grieve, and everyone grieves differently. Thank you, Camp Erin!” This annual weekend summer camp is open to children and teens ages 6 to 17 who are grieving the death of someone close to them. This year’s camp will be held June 5-7 in Julian, combining traditional, high-energy camp activities with grief support and education. Camp Erin San Diego is now accepting applications for campers for the June 2015 camp. Learn more at elizabethhospice.org/camperin, camperin@ehospice.org or by calling 800-797-2050. “Camp Erin San Diego attendees will discover the treasure of peer support and learn healthy outlets and strategies that they can take home,” said Liz Sumner, director of the Center for Compassionate Care of The Elizabeth Hospice. Camp Erin San Diego is part of the largest national network of bereavement camps in the country, established by The Moyer Foundation, a nonprofit founded by World Series Champion pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen. The foundation’s mission is to provide comfort, hope and healing to children affected by loss and family addiction.

Torrey Pines Girls JV soccer wins league title — again! The TPHS Girls JV Soccer team ended season play last Friday with a 3-1 win against Canyon Crest Academy and clinched the league title with a 15-0 record. The team scored an incredible 76 goals during the regular season, and 91 goals including the Barons holiday tournament in December. Coached by Jackie Busch and her son Brandon, the girls continued the winning tradition of the Torrey Pines soccer program. Jackie Busch has coached girls soccer for 14 years at Torrey Pines, and has won league every year! Despite a season plagued with injuries, the girls were able to adjust and step up to allow only 12 goals in the 15 regular season games. Special recognition was awarded to key players over the weekend, with Chelsea Lloyd winning the Best Defender award, Kelli McKinnon chosen as the Best Midfielder with 18 goals, Kate Thomas winning Best Offensive Player with 20 goals this season, and Sophia LeRose selected as the Most Valuable Player.

Falcons extend success at Senior Night basketball game After an emotional Senior Night celebration last Wednesday, six seniors led the No. 1-ranked Torrey Pines Boys’ Basketball team (26-2, 9-0) to a 78-35 win over a stubborn Rancho Bernardo squad who came within 6 points of beating Torrey Pines just two weeks ago. The Senior Night game was played at Torrey Pines High School in front of a large crowd there to honor seniors from the Torrey Pines boys and girls basketball teams and the Torrey Pines cheer squad. The boys’ basketball program has been led this season by six seniors: Dominic Hovasse, Timmy Saunders, Marek Sullivan, Jack Beach, Connor Milmoe and David Glaser. Going undefeated through their freshman and JV seasons, the seniors have now brought that success to a 26-2 record at the varsity level, enhancing the reputation of the legendary Torrey Pines basketball program under 18-year Head Coach John Olive.

“I am very proud of our seniors,” said Olive. “They brought tremendous energy on an emotional night, and they are all special young men with very bright futures.” The Senior Night ceremony was punctuated by the surprise return of senior Point Guard Dominic Hovasse’s father, Tom Hovasse, who flew in from Japan to surprise his son and attend the festivities. The elder Hovasse, who played college basketball for Penn State and played and coached professional basketball in Japan, spends considerable there as a coach for the Japanese Women’s National Basketball team. According to Dominic Hovasse, “It was an emotional night, with my dad flying back and walking out with me on my senior night. I’ve been playing with most of these guys for over five years. It’s sad to see it almost come to an end, but we’re excited to try to end the season on a high note.” While the game against Rancho Bernar-

do got off to a furious start with the score tied 10-10 midway through the first quarter, Torrey Pines quickly asserted itself and handily won the Palomar league match. Leading the team in scoring against Rancho Bernardo were Hovasse (15 points), Saunders (14 points), Strong (14 points), Beach (12 points), Sullivan (9 points), Milmoe (5 points), and Glaser (3 points). Extending their winning streak to 16 games, the win brought Torrey Pines to 9-0 in Palomar League (other Palomar League teams besides Rancho Bernardo are Canyon Crest Academy, Mt. Carmel, Westview and Poway). Torrey Pines already clinched the Palomar League title on Feb. 13 after a 74-49 win over Poway. CIF Playoffs in the highest Open Division for Torrey Pines will begin on Friday, Feb. 27, where Torrey Pines will have the No. 1 seed. Their opponent will be announced shortly after completion of Palomar League Play and the game will be at Torrey Pines High School at 7 p.m.

The Torrey Pines Boys Basketball team is ranked No. 1 in the San Diego Section (Division 1) according to MaxPreps and No. 1 in the Union Tribune Poll over Foothills Christian, La Costa Canyon and a host of other very good teams in San Diego. Torrey Pines gained the No. 1 ranking after a decisive 26-point win on Jan. 19 over rival La Costa Canyon, who previously held the top ranking in the San Diego Section. Torrey Pines’ seniors all cited the big win over rival La Costa Canyon as one of the season highlights to date. Senior Timmy Saunders said, “It was a huge win, and a big momentum shift for our season. We have been undefeated ever since, and we hope to close out the season with a CIF title.” Torrey Pines has not gone unnoticed outside of San Diego County as it is ranked No. 14 in Southern California, according to MaxPreps.

Local water polo club makes a splash on national stage BY GIDEON RUBIN Considering the abundance of talented water polo players in the region and what he sensed to be a growing interest in the sport, it didn’t make sense to Cathedral Catholic coach Brett Ormsby that the Del Mar area didn’t have a competitive youth water polo club. Ormsby didn’t just sit on his hands and complain. In 2008, he and his wife, Thalia Ormsby, founded the Del Mar Water Polo Club at Cathedral Catholic’s state-of-the art swimming facility. “Other established clubs had existed (in San Diego County), but there was a void in our local community and a desire,” Brett Ormsby said. His club has, in short order, filled that void. The DMWPC has made a mark on the national club scene, competing in elite tournaments and contributing to the development of future stars — several of whom are already competing at the Division I college level. The club’s 16-and-under team won the 2012 United States Club national championship. Its 18-and-under-team (featuring many of the same players from the national championship team) took second place at nationals the next year and won a silver medal at the 2014 Junior Olympics. Brett and Thalia Ormsby represented the United States in the 2004 Olympics in Athens on the men’s and women’s water polo teams after distinguished careers at UCLA — Brett was the school’s 2004 Athlete of the Year, and Thalia a three-time national champion. The club is consistently ranked among the nation’s top 10 in the 16-and-under and 18-and-under circuits.

The girls’ 14-and-under team won a gold medal last summer at the prestigious John Hale tournament. The club is open to youths aged 5 through 18 of all abilities and experience levels, Brett Ormsby said. Most of the club’s participants are from the Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Carmel Valley and Solana Beach areas, but some travel from as far as Coronado, Escondido and El Cajon. High school water polo has been played competitively in California for many decades, but wasn’t instituted for girls until the late 1990s. A club circuit emerged in the early 1990s. “Originally the goal of the club was to provide a place for high school athletes to train year-round because high school water polo takes place in the fall for the boys and winter for the girls, but to be successful we needed a platform that allowed athletes to train 12 months out of the year,” Brett Ormsby said. “That was sort of the driving force behind it, but it’s grown into something much broader than that. It really caters to the younger community as well and seeks to try to get new athletes — the elementary (school) and middle school athletes — into the sport.” But while competing in national tournaments is nice, Ormsby said his club is more focused on the development aspect of the sport. He feels somewhat that “there shouldn’t even be national championships for the 10-and-under age groups because it really promotes the wrong thing,” he said. “We want kids in our club who are going to be collegiate athletes one day and who are going to be national team athletes one day, but in order to do that, they need to build a

The Del Mar Water Polo Club has already made a mark on the national club scene, competing in elite tournaments and contributing to the development of future stars — several of whom are already competing at the Division I college level. Photo by Oleg Ratner really solid foundation at a young age. “Of course we’re trying to win — but what we won’t do is sacrifice any sort of development or doing things the right way to get any shortcuts to winning. We’re taking the longterm approach.” The long-term approach has already yielded impressive results. The club’s alumni are already well represented among collegiate ranks with a group that includes Chris Fahlsing, a former Cathedral Catholic standout who helped lead UCLA to a NCAA championship last year. Cathedral Catholic alumni Cody Smith (Stanford), Bryce Hoerman (USC) and Austin Rone (UCLA), Vista’s Ryder Roberts (UCLA), and Granite Hills’ Kevin LeVine (UC Berkeley) are among other recent members of the club who have gone on to play at the Division I level on the men’s side.

Torrey Pines grad Michelle Martinelli (Harvard) and Cathedral Catholic’s Jillian Wilding (UC Davis) are among recent club alumnae who’ve gone on to play in college. These days, one of the club’s hottest attractions is Dennis Blyashov, a rising star who is a member of the USA National Cadet team and considered one of the nation’s best players his age group, Ormsby said. Blyashov plays for the club’s 16-and-under and 18-andunder teams. And Ormsby insists that his club isn’t just focused on its elite athletes. “High school sports and youth sports are about so much more than success on the court or in the pool,” he said. “It’s about teaching kids life lessons. Teaching them to deal with adversity and teaching them what ‘work ethic’ means. Teaching them to have a good attitude and teaching them to be resilient; those are lessons that everyone needs to learn whether they’re naturally gifted or not. “That should be the driving sport behind all youth sports, water polo or anything else.” For more information, visit www.delmarwaterpoloclub.org.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

The Loss of Work in the Aftermath Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect every facet of life, from memory to physical ability to performing every day functions like speaking and eating. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that TBIs are one of the most catastrophic forms of injury. And when it comes to recovery, restoring

full brain function is often rare. In this sense, returning to work after a traumatic brain injury is generally difficult, if not impossible. In a recent report, we learn of one woman’s struggle with traumatic brain injury after she fell backward in a snow storm, landing head first onto icy pavement. “My feet went out from under me and my head just hit the pavement,” said Carey Gelfand, a Glencoe, Ill. resident who said she was on a business trip in New York when the accident occurred. Although she brushed off the accident at first, a cognitive fog soon developed. Once she returned home, she began forgetting

crucial details and lost the ability to focus at work. Exhaustion overtook her body and she was often plagued with debilitating headaches. “My boss [wanted] to take jobs away from me. I was very diminished in my position. I was just so frustrated and I had such poor sense of self,” said Gelfand. Although most TBIs occur as a result of car accidents, some may occur in the most unfortunate and yet ordinary ways such as a trip or fall. Seeking medical attention as soon as a TBI is suspected is essential when it comes to recovery and possible prevention of further injury. “It is important after a brain injury see a neurologist who can administer the proper

tests,” the article noted. “Not doing so means it could be weeks or years before the injury is diagnosed.” Gelﬂand said her job suffered considerably in wake of her TBI. Though she did not lose her job, she struggled to keep up with demands. Fortunately, she is able to talk about her experience, striving to create awareness for this surprisingly prevalent injury (TBIs affect at least 1.5 million Americans each year). Although Gelﬂand has maintained her work, most people are not as fortunate. Column continued at www.ranchosantafereview.com/ news/2013/dec/10/the-loss-of-workin-the-aftermath-traumatic-brain/

The Front Porch offers hand-selected gourmet food items, gifts and antiques from around the world. Right: Roger Clark, Gina Champion-Cain and Melissa Scott Clark.

‘Baywatch’ actress moves from sandy shore to Front Porch BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local resident Melissa Scott Clark has gone from frolicking the beaches of TV’s “Baywatch” to finding gourmet foods for The Front Porch. And it all started with a wedding gift from her grandmother. Located in Mission Hills, The Front Porch is the former “Baywatch” lifeguard’s first retail shop, specializing in foods to fine furniture. “I’ve always been a foodie,” said Scott Clark, formerly Biggs, noting she has traveled the world, visiting India, Kuwait and South Africa in recent years. “I’ve experienced all these different cultures and different foods, and I’m finding commonality in the things I gravitate toward — even overseas. I look for small-family-owned- and-operated facilities and handcrafted, gourmet products with no preservatives. Those are the things that speak to me, whether it’s a farm in Napa or a farm in India.” With a passion for food, Scott Clark gave homemade jam with personalized labels as gifts to her wedding guests. She received the recipe as a wedding gift from her grandmother. “I just decided that I wanted to do something with food — something I was really interested in and fascinated by,” said Scott Clark, who moved to Del Mar after she and her husband, Roger Clark, married in September 2013. In addition to working as an actress, Scott Clark has made a life as an entrepreneur, once developing a pet product line for Walmart and launching PGD Style, a contemporary clothing line. After relocating to San Diego, Scott Clark began developing gourmet food products. She came up with a business concept in March and presented a proposal to local restaurateur and entrepreneur Gina Champion-Cain, owner of The Patio neighborhood eatery. Champion-Cain loved the concept and the friends-turned-business-partners turned

the idea into reality in less than five months. Just around the corner from The Patio, The Front Porch opened its doors in August. “It’s been a whirlwind,” Scott Clark said. The Front Porch offers a variety of hand-selected gourmet food items, gifts and antiques from around the world. In addition, the shop debuted its Signature Collection when the store opened its doors. Developed in collaboration with the maker of San Clemente-based Ghost Scream Hot Sauce, so far the label offers four signature products: artichoke and green olive tapenade, bourbon onion confit, chimichurri sauce and mango habanero marmalade. “It was exciting to unveil those at our grand opening,” Scott Clark said. Since then, Scott Clark has partnered with a family in Italy to develop an international label called The Patio Selections. The line, which features four gourmet Italian pasta sauces, will be available later this month at the shop. In addition to expanding their line, Scott Clark and Champion-Cain plan to open additional shops. They hope to expand to 10 locations across San Diego County and throughout the West Coast within the next two years. “Gina wants to take over the world, and I’m along for the ride,” said Scott Clark with a laugh. The pair are eyeing spaces in Del Mar and Little Italy, among other sites. “We’re very excited for the future,” she said. The Front Porch is at 928 Fort Stockton Drive, Suite 103, in San Diego. The shop is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Pacific Ridge celebrates middle school/administration building, Arts & Tech Center The Pacific Ridge School community gathered recently to celebrate the opening of a new Middle School and Administration Building and Arts & Technology Center. Students, faculty, parents, and community representatives, including Carlsbad Mayor Pro Tem Keith Blackburn, were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Attendees heard remarks from Blackburn and Head of School Dr. Bob Ogle about the tremendous growth of the campus, and enjoyed musical performances by several student groups before exploring the new spaces. The 22,750-square-foot Middle School and Administration building welcomes visitors to the Pacific Ridge campus, and is the new on-campus home for 180 middle-school students. The space has 11 technology-supported, seminar-style classrooms, three state-of-theart science labs, a spacious reading room for presentations and social events, and an outdoor courtyard space to function as the “Middle School Town Square” for collaborative work and socializing. The 23,000-square-foot Arts & Technology Center bridges the Middle School and Upper School buildings at the center of campus and reflects Pacific Ridge School’s commitment to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math). The Arts & Technology Center provides ample room for construction, display, design, practice and participation in creative and innovative projects of all sizes. Virtually every space is flexibly designed to respond to advances in technology and student interests. Features include 2-D and 3-D arts studios, a dance studio, a theater arts studio, a fabrication and design studio, exhibition gallery, instrumental studios, practice rooms, technology design center, and The cast of Pacific Ridge’s winter musical kicks off the celebration with a Community Hall. Construction was supported through the performance in front of the new Arts Breaking Through Campaign, a two-phase and Technology Center. building project that will complete the Pacific Ridge campus. Phase One is a $25 million campaign to support the Middle School and Administration Building, Arts and Technology Center, and additional parking. Phase Two, to follow in future years, will include a performing arts theater, library and learning center.

La Paloma hosts world music March 1 with Yemen Blues and Ravid Kahalani The Center for Jewish Culture in collaboration with the House of Israel and A Culture of Peace proudly presents Yemen Blues — with Ravid Kahalani in a San Diego premiere performance. The show, sponsored by the Leichtag Foundation, will be at 7:30 p.m. March 1 at the La Paloma Theatre in Encinitas. Hailed by Time Out Chicago as “one of the most exciting bands in world music right now,” Yemen Blues creates a joyous sound that mixes Yemenite, West African and jazz influences. Yemen Blues with vocalist Ravid Kahalani will play Yemenite vocalist and March 1 at the La Paloma Theatre. composer Kahalani leads a rare combination of musicians from New York, Uruguay and Tel Aviv to produce thoroughly original music that ranges from blues to funk and mambo to African soul. Yemen Blues is about creating what Kahalani calls “moments of soul,” swooping from clear falsetto into a gravelly baritone, switching from Yemenite Arabic to Hebrew to Haitian Creole. Tickets are on sale now through the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. Visit www.sdcjc.org/pas or call the box office at 858-362-1348.

CCA team places 2nd in national math contest San Diego’s Canyon Crest Academy has some of the best high-school mathematicians in the country, as demonstrated by their second-place finish in the 2015 Four-by-Four Competition, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (http://www.natassessment.com). Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the contest, in which teams of four participated in 10 three-minute rounds in which they attempted to answer four questions. This effectively gives each student three minutes to answer one problem, but the team must also decide who will work each problem and whether their time would be better spent checking one another’s work on easier and more familiar problems or whether they should attempt to answer all four questions. After results from schools across the country were double-checked, the team of Kevin Choe, Bhairav Chidambaram, Tristan Pollner, and Eshaan Nichani placed first in the oldest division, helping their school to place second overall among the top schools in the country. Canyon Crest Academy participated in all four of National Assessment & Testing’s contests this year. National Assessment & Testing administers high-quality mathematics competitions that schools can participate in through the mail. Their contests span a variety of formats, including individual and team tests, with each contest featuring problems ranging from easy to difficult, providing both confidence and challenges to students of all abilities.
