District workshop discusses high school boundaries, enrollment, program ‘equity’ BY KAREN BILLING The third of four high school enrollment workshops was held at Carmel Valley Middle School on March 12. The workshops are educating the community about the various ways to enroll students using options proposed by the high school enrollment study group. The district also intends to survey parents on the best way to move forward and to remove some of the anxiety students face about getting into their first-choice school. It is a tough task, as Michael Grove, associate superintendent of education services said: “There is no perfect solution that makes everybody happy.” At the workshops, parents were broken into groups and asked to weigh the pros and cons of the enrollment study group’s five options. The options were: boundaries for all schools, eliminating all boundaries, a mix of boundary and non-boundary schools (the current situation), small boundaries around each academy and small boundaries around each school, and no boundaries for the rest of the district. Mark Caton, a parent member of the study group, said the group decided to present all possible options they discussed to the public rather then narrowing them down. Caton said he decided to get involved because of the “unnerving” situation his son, a student at Solana Santa Fe School, might be facing getting into his choice school. “I joined the group so I could get a handle on what I was hearing,” Caton said, noting he heard rumors along the lines of “you’ll never get in.” He said the group was unbiased and as “exciting as you can imagSee BOUNDARIES, page 22

SB School District backs bill ending personal belief exemption for vaccinations BY KRISTINA HOUCK In response to a measles outbreak that started in Southern California, the Solana Beach School Board recently voted to support legislation that would end exemptions to mandated school vaccines because of “personal beliefs.” Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in RSF is part of the Solana Beach School District. California is one of 18 states that allows parents to enroll their children in school unvaccinated through a personal-belief exemption to public health laws. The recent measles outbreak, however, has prompted two California lawmakers to introduce legislation that would end the state’s vaccine exemption loophole. In February, Democratic Sens. Richard Pan of Sacramento and Ben Allen of Santa Monica introduced Senate Bill 277, a law that would eliminate exemptions except for children with medical conditions. In a 4-0 vote, board members on March 12 approved a resolution supporting the bill. “We’re taking a lead role on this because it’s really important,” said board member Richard Leib, who suggested the board support the legislation at the February meeting. Since then, he has talked with Allen’s chief of staff who said the Solana Beach district is one of the first districts in the state to officially support the bill. “I think in our own school district, we have to make sure we keep the immunization rates up. If affects all of our kids if something happens,” he said. See VACCINATIONS, page 22

Earl Warren rebuild plan gets OK Top pro golfer Yani Tseng visits RSF Golf BY KRISTINA HOUCK Earl Warren Middle School is one step closer to a new campus. The California Coastal Commission on March 11 unanimously approved San Dieguito Union High School District’s plans to demolish and rebuild the aging Solana Beach school. Voters approved a $449 million bond measure in November 2012, funding upgrades and repairs at the district’s North County campuses. Because Earl Warren was originally built in 1954, however, district officials opted to reconstruct rather than renovate the outdated school at 155 Stevens Ave. in Solana Beach. The $41 million project kicked off in August 2014 with the demolition of Warren Hall, the school’s multipurpose room. The district also constructed a network operations center, and installed two portable buildings and a new hardcourt area, according to the commission’s report. With the commission’s approval, the campus should be under construction by fall 2015. Students will be moved into an interim campus on the athletic fields. The temporary site will have 31 classroom buildings, three restroom buildings, an administration building, a student services building, a food service building, a locker building, a multipurpose room, an outdoor dining area, a hardcourt area, and a 62-space parking lot. At the same time, the old campus will be demolished and a new campus will be built. The new campus will feature seven buildings, two student drop-off areas and a fire truck road on the 19.4-acre lot. The site will also include a 56-space parking lot, in addition to the two parking lots next to the library. Construction is expected to be complete by fall 2017. With the commission’s conditional approval, the district must submit final design and landscape plans for review and written approval. The district must also submit final plans for storage and staging, construction pollution prevention, long-term water quality management, and turf and pest management.

RSF firefighters respond to Del Dios home fire On Saturday, March 14, at 8:36 p.m., firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District and Escondido Fire Department responded to the report of a residential structure fire in the 20000 block of Date Lane in the community of Del Dios. Flames were visible from a distance as firefighters approached the scene and upon arrival they found one residential structure involved. Crews quickly went to work to put the fire out. One resident was home at the time and was able to safely evacuate the home. It was reported earlier that another occupant may have been inside, but a secondary search confirmed there was no one else in the house. The Red Cross is assisting two adults with temporary shelter, food, and clothing. A second house sustained damage, but the residents, who had safely evacuated, were able to reoccupy their home. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Boardwalk supporters plan Saturday rally: ‘We’re not ready to give up’ BY JOE TASH Supporters of a popular wooden boardwalk on the south side of the Del Mar Fairgrounds are planning a hike and rally this Saturday, March 21, after a vote by the California Coastal Commission that could require the removal of the structure. At its March 11 meeting, the Coastal Commission had a tie vote, 5-5, on a request by the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority to allow the boardwalk to remain in its location next to the San Dieguito River. The tie vote meant the JPA’s request was denied. The 1,200-foot-long boardwalk, made of planks on a raised framework, was built in 2007. It was constructed with $354,000 in grants, as well as hundreds of volunteer hours from Rotarians and other community members. Removing it will cost an estimated $150,000. The boardwalk sits on land owned by the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds. In order to settle a longstanding dispute with state regulatory agencies, the 22nd DAA agreed to restore the dirt lot where the boardwalk is located into wetlands. As part of the restoration project, the Coastal Commission staff asked that the boardwalk be moved next to Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The JPA, San Dieguito River Conservancy and the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach contend that the boardwalk cannot be moved next to the road, because that is where an extension of the Coast-to-Crest Trail, slated to run some 70 miles from Julian to the beach at Del Mar, is planned. The groups say the two trails are separate and distinct and cannot be placed in the same location. The boardwalk “really is a completely different sort of trail,� intended for pedestrians, while the Coast-to-Crest trail will be compacted decomposed granite and designed for multiple users, from hikers to mountain bikers to horseback riders, said Shawna Anderson, principal planner with the River Park JPA. Anderson said the JPA will work with the conservancy, the 22nd DAA, and Del Mar officials to see whether there are options to keep the boardwalk where it is, despite last week’s deadlocked vote by the Coastal Commission. “We intend to explore other options with the 22nd DAA and Del Mar,� Anderson said. “We just need to strategize and see if we can come up with some options that we can consider for the boardwalk. We’re not ready to give up.� Saturday’s 10 a.m. rally planned by the conservancy is another part of the effort to save the boardwalk in its present location. Several hundred people, including County Supervisor Dave Roberts and possibly other local elected officials, will hike a short distance to the boardwalk, then pose for aerial photos taken by a drone, as well as hear speakers, said conservancy executive director Trish Boaz. Coastal Commission staff contends that if the boardwalk is moved, an additional acre of wetlands can be restored. They also said the boardwalk in its current location would impede water flow in the restored wetlands. Until now, the dirt lot where the boardwalk is located has been used by the fairgrounds for overflow parking for major events such as the San Diego County Fair and annual horse racing meets. At the Commission meeting, Coastal Commissioner and County Supervisor Greg Cox spearheaded the effort to preserve the boardwalk. Cox noted that mothers with strollers, joggers and a host of others regularly use the

boardwalk. “It’s a very wellMothers with used interpretive trail,� he strollers, said. “It’s an important part joggers and a of what I think we should be promoting, which is educahost of others tion.� regularly use “The taxpayers are apprethe ciating this.

Greg Cox, a Other commissioners, Coastal however, were convinced by Commission Commission staff that the member. boardwalk, left where it is, could hamper the success of the wetland restoration. “In truth, it is not the least harmful� alternative, said Commissioner Dayna Bochco of leaving the boardwalk where it is. Bochco and other commissioners said that if the boardwalk is allowed to remain, the JPA should be required to provide environmental mitigation, such as preserving wetlands in another location. Anderson, of the JPA, noted during her testimony that a restoration plan prepared by a biologist for the 22nd DAA included the boardwalk in its present location, with channels beneath the boardwalk to facilitate water flow. During his testimony, John Dixon, an ecologist with the Coastal Commission, conceded that the restoration with the boardwalk in place could work, although it would not be the best configuration. “If this is designed correctly, it could be made to work with one or two inlets,� Dixon said. Anderson said after the hearing that mitigation would probably be expensive. “We don’t have money sitting in the bank for mitigation,� she said. David Watson, a 22nd DAA board member, said his agency agrees with other local entities that the boardwalk should remain where it is. But he said in his opinion, not speaking for the full board, if the Coastal Commission orders the removal of the boardwalk, the 22nd DAA most likely will have to comply. “That seems to be the less expensive option,� said Watson, adding, “I prefer to leave the boardwalk where it is, because that’s what the community wants and I don’t agree with the environmental assessments that it’s a problem.� Another speaker at the Commission hearing, Don Mosier, a Del Mar councilman and chairman of the River Park JPA board, said the benefits of public access outweigh potential effects on the restoration area. “I think we’re letting the perfect be the enemy of the very, very good,� Mosier said.

RSF woman finally finds biological family: ‘I just always wondered’ BY KAREN BILLING After searching for her birth mother for more than 20 years, RJ Anderson has finally found her roots. The Rancho Santa Fe resident followed a string of leads and hints for years until it all came together on March 7 and she met her mother for the first time in Los Angeles. Not only did she find her mother, she found herself looking into the oddly familiar faces of two of her three new sisters. “I feel like I’m falling in love,” Anderson said of the constant butterflies in her stomach, and the joy and excitement that comes from a text or message from her mother or her three new sisters. “Can a person actually feel connected with a blood relative they do not know at all? It was this instant connection, all of the girls just connected — it was very strange.” Anderson is not married and does not have children. In her adoptive family, she has two sisters, a brother and a nephew. She is the youngest of her three new sisters and has also gained three nieces and one nephew. “The more the merrier,” Anderson said of her suddenly full family. “My goal now is to get everyone under one roof.” A San Diego resident for 25 years, Anderson was raised by her adoptive family in La Cañada Flintridge, outside of Pasadena. She was adopted at birth and the adoption was private. When Anderson was 18 years old, she decided she wanted to find her birth mother. “I’d never seen my ‘blood’ before. I’d never experienced anyone who looked like me, sounded like me,” Anderson said. “I had an amazing adoptive family, I wasn’t looking to replace them … I just always wondered. I had no hang-ups about being adopted, no abandonment issues — it was just so critical for me to be able to look at someone and hear the same voice or see the same eyes or see if we had the same personality traits.” So she wrote to the state’s social services department in Sacramento. The public record had no names, just basic information such as physical descriptions of the mother and father. Her adoptive mother gave her the last

name of her birth mom and she tracked down the legal court decree of the adoption. The “bits and pieces” weren’t a lot, and Anderson searched on and off for years. Pre-Internet, searching for someone wasn’t easy. She scoured the phone book for last names, narrowing them down to people who lived in Glendale, the town she was born in, who had given birth in 1968 on her birth date. A year ago, Anderson got a ”huge lead” that she decided to pursue. It ended up being a dead end, but she was able to find a woman who knew her mother and said she would reach out to her. “I never heard back, so it was devastating. I thought, ‘This just isn’t meant to be,’ so I decided just to leave it alone,” Anderson said. However, four months ago she was encouraged by her girlfriends to try one more time. “For some reason in my heart, I didn’t want to give up and I was prepared for the worst,” Anderson said. “I don’t know if I could’ve handled it in my 20s. In your 40s, you have more experience and more of an understanding about life and circumstances. It was a blessing to reach this point in my 40s versus my 20s, because I was more emotionally prepared either way.” She got back on the phone to the woman who was friends with her mother and was able to get the name of her niece. She found her niece on Facebook and sent her a message. She didn’t hear anything back for months and had resigned herself to the search being over once again before the niece wrote back last week: “You’re my aunt. My mom is your sister and you have three sisters.” One of the sisters sent a message on Facebook and said she was dying to meet her. Amazingly, the family had grown up in Glendale, just one town over from La Cañada. A “light dinner” was set up in Los Angeles and a flurry of photos and texts were exchanged in the days leading up to the meeting. The whole week leading up to the dinner, Anderson could not sleep. Last Saturday, she expected to be meeting just her two sisters; the third sister was unable to attend. “Walking in and seeing them all for the See FAMILY, page 22

TPHS Scholarship Fund board members help present “How to Survive the High Cost of College� on March 24 at the Torrey Pines High School Lecture Hall.

College financial workshop at TPHS March 24 Kerry Traylor, CEO and Founder of College Strategy Experts, has teamed with Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund committee to present a free workshop from 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, titled “How to Survive the High Cost of College.� The workshop, held at the Torrey Pines High School Lecture Hall, is open to the community and will provide information about college admissions and financial aid. Register for the workshop at www.tphssf.org. The TPHS Scholarship Fund is a nonprofit group that provides merit scholarships to deserving Torrey Pines High School students at the two- or four-year college, trade or vocational school or any accredited post-secondary education of their choice. College Strategy Experts CEO Traylor is well acquainted with the astronomical costs of college. As a graduate of Williams College, Tufts and Harvard universities, she uses her professional writing and editing skills to help students perfect their college essays. “Those essays translate into merit aid dollars,� she said. “They are the No. 1 tipping point in college admissions.� However, she finds that helping parents understand the complexities of financial and merit aid is also critical to reducing college costs. “The financial and merit aid systems have become so complex and convoluted that they tend to defeat even the most savvy parents and students,� she said. For every family that attends the March 24 workshop, College Strategy Experts will donate $25 to the TPHS Scholarship Fund. “I am so honored to be able to help the TPHS students,� said Traylor. Since 1987, the Scholarship Fund has provided Torrey Pines seniors with scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000. “Today, the volunteer, community-based scholarship organization raises an average of $30,000 per year,� said Mary Stromitis, co-president of the TPHS Scholarship Fund.

Challenged Athletes Foundation honors Williams’ legacy by raising $3M BY DIANE Y. WELCH A festive atmosphere, created by almost 500 guests at the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa, served as a fitting ambiance for the sold-out fundraiser held March 7 for the Challenged Athletes Foundation. The gala “A Celebration of Will” honored the legacy of the late Robin Williams and raised more than $3 million for the newly established Challenged Athletes Foundation Endowment in Memory of Robin Williams, thanks in part to an anonymous donor who matched each dollar raised. These funds will provide challenged athletes with equipment and prosthetics, and help pay for training and competition expenses for many years ahead. In attendance were CAF board members and gala cochairs Jeff Essakow and Jeff Jacobs — co-owners of Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa — with notable guests Congressman Scott Peters, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman, and Joan and Irwin Jacobs. The evening brought together celebrities and athletes. Amy Purdy — CAF Paralympic and “Dancing With the Stars” performer — danced on stage, and Hall of

Fame tennis champion Andre Agassi offered up tennis lessons for auction, which sold for $100,000. Williams’ children, Zak, Zelda and Cody, presented grants to three CAF athletes who received Össur running feet, a handcycle and a mountain bike, respectively. Participating alongside challenged triathletes, actor/ comedian Williams dedicated much of his time in helping CAF grow during the past 21 years. “He made everyone feel so special,” said Essakow in a moving speech. “He said it was ‘like coming back home, coming back to family.’” Brianne “Breezy” Bochenek was diagnosed with bone cancer at age 10 and chose to have her leg amputated at age 11. She sang at the gala and spoke earlier of this feeling of family that was a thread running throughout the evening. “I feel like I’m at home on the stage because I do consider CAF family,” she said. “It’s like they have put their arms around me, they make me feel so welcome.” Breezy sang her version of “Part of Your World” from “The Little Mermaid,” modifying the words to “CAF World.” Celeste Corcoron, a survivor of the 2013 Boston Mara-

Last year she returned to Boston to finish the marathon, with the help of specialized prosthetics. “CAF came into my life when I hadn’t even healed from my amputation and I thought the quality of my life was over,” she said. Paralympian Scout Bassett, who went from orphan to world-class athlete, started to run when she was 14 and it transformed her life. “I haven’t stopped since,” she said. “With CAF there are no limits to what I can do ... It made me whole.” Sarah Reinertsen, the first woman with a prosthetic leg to finish the Ironman World Championship, became an athlete at age 11, four years after her leg was amputated because of a rare tissue disorder. “As a kid with a disability, it was tough to get integrated into sports.

We must all decrease our water use — take the Water Savings Challenge now! California’s drought is worsening and drastic calls are escalating for local residents, businesses and local governments to each do their part by reducing water use and improving water supplies. In other words, take up the Water Savings Challenge! The reasons every resident in the Santa Fe Irrigation District service area needs to reduce their water use are compelling and urgent: • Hottest weather on record. Last year was the hottest year on record in San Diego County and California (dating to 1895). • Driest years on record. 2012-2014 was the driest three-year period on record for the state. • Snowpack is only 19 percent of average. Statewide snowpack is about 19 percent of the long-term average. • State water allocation is only 20 percent. This critical source for the entire county has been initially set at only 20 percent of requested supplies. • District has no more water in Lake Hodges because of low rainfall. The district has used up its local water supply in Lake Hodges and the lack of rain has resulted in no water for this summer. As the extreme drought continues into a fourth year, the district’s water supply will almost certainly be cut by 10 percent or more by summer. We are, therefore, asking customers to cut their water use in order to save water now for the upcoming year and to make up for some of the drought losses. If some residents are not conserving — with the mindset that they are positioning themselves for better water allocations if the drought continues — please understand that if the district were to go to allocations, the basis would not be water consumption for this year. February was an unusually dry and hot month, and the amount of water consumed during this month

Michael J. Bardin was the highest it’s been in the past decade. This demonstrates that water use is influenced by weather conditions and irrigation. Reducing water use will not be easy in this unseasonably dry, warm weather. Water use in the district has, in fact, been rising rather than falling. Even though our community’s many large properties require significant amounts of water to sustain their current status, we must find a way to reduce use compared with previous years, like everyone else in the state. Our collective failure to cut back water use is attracting statewide negative attention. To help you reduce your use, we ask that you adhere to the mandatory Level 2 Water Shortage requirements in place and participate in our free Water Saving Checkups, both described below. Customers must comply with the Level 2 mandatory water shortage requirements. These include assigned days for watering (ODD addresses on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and EVEN addresses Monday, Wednesday, Saturday), as well as limitations on irrigation time on lawns to 10 minutes for each watering station; no washing of hard surfaces; prohibition of overspray and waste, including runoff; and more. Please see our website, www.sfidwater.org, for details of the mandatory conservation measures. Contact the District to obtain a free Water Saving

Checkup, which can help you reduce water waste by 20 percent or more. To help customers meet the Water Savings Challenge, the district offers numerous programs, including a new conservation program focused on helping those with large properties use water more efficiently. But there are also programs for commercial, multifamily, industrial, public or smaller single-family properties. The Water Saving Checkup program sends certified landscape professionals and other water conservation experts to check irrigation systems and other water use, and provide detailed estimates of repairs and water efficiency upgrades. The specific services depend on the property. There is no cost or obligation, and the report provides everything customers need to save water. For information about all our water conservation programs or to apply for a free checkup, visit www.sfidwater.org/checkup or call 858-756-2424. The district is undertaking comprehensive drought and water supply program. The water supply program includes: 1) evaluating recycled water supply options with 10 local agencies; 2) undertaking an Advanced Water Purification Concept Study, which will evaluate the feasibility and cost of taking recycled wastewater and treating it to potable water use levels; 3) conducting a rate study that will consider new tiers to promote water conservation and identify the rates needed to fund alternative water supply efforts. The district will provide extensive outreach on these programs as they progress, as well as provide numerous opportunities for the public to learn more and provide input. Michael Bardin, General Manager Santa Fe Irrigation District

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - MARCH 19, 2015 - PAGE A9

Local resident leads effort to create new pro football league BY JOE TASH Jim Bailey sees a “football void� in America, and he aims to fill it. The local resident is president and CEO of the United States Football League, a fledgling effort that organizers hope will eventually bring long bombs, grinding runs and smashing hits to football-starved fans during the spring doldrums. “From the Super Bowl to the beginning of the next season, there’s just no football,� said Bailey, a former executive with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens. For now, the USFL exists solely in the minds of Bailey and his partners, as well as its website, www.theusfl.com. But he and his partners are working hard to raise money for an eventual launch of what is envisioned as an eight-team league that will play its 14-game schedule during spring and early summer. Core partners in the venture are Bailey, local attorney Bill Miltner, finance expert Paul Byrne, and Fred Biletnikoff Jr., son of NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff Sr., said Bailey. All four have invested their own money in the start-up, he said. The business model that Bailey and his partners are creating calls for all eight teams in the USFL to be owned by the league itself, rather than by individual owners. An earlier version of the USFL, which has no connection to the new league, operated for three seasons in the 1980s. USFL teams will be located in cities that have no NFL or Major League baseball franchise, said Bailey. He declined to specify which cities are under consideration, but said a Southern California team is unlikely

due to the existence of other pro teams in the region. The players will come from the ranks of athletes who aspire to play in the NFL, but haven’t yet landed with a team, said Bailey. NFL teams each bring about 90 players to training camp and keep about 65, said Bailey. That leaves several hundred players who were good enough to be called to camp, but didn’t make the team. That pool of players will form the basis of the USFL, he said. Bailey envisions the USFL as a developmental league for the NFL, similar to professional baseball’s farm system. Players will be able to hone their skills, mature and learn how professional systems operate. “This will give them a chance to get better and showcase their abilities in a competitive environment and be seen by the NFL,� he said. Players will be free to sign with the NFL at any time. Players will probably earn about $2,500 per game, plus bonuses, which he said will be enough to live on, but far less than the millions paid to NFL stars. The new USFL won’t have any connection with the NFL, but the league is aware of the USFL, and NFL officials have said such a developmental league is needed, Bailey said. Bailey and his partners envision their teams playing in smaller venues, with lower ticket prices, than their NFL counterparts. For now, the USFL is focused on raising $5 million, which will cover the legal and marketing costs for a “private placement,� which is a form of investment that will bring in the bulk of the money needed to launch and sustain the league, Bailey said. “We won’t make money for three or

said. “You have to play good football and the teams need plenty of time to get ready.� He doesn’t doubt, however, that demand exists for his product. “There’s a tremendous appetite for football,� he said.

RSF firefighters douse shed fires in Del Dios

Jim Bailey is raising money for the eventual launch of the eight-team United States Football League. four years, and we need to be able to weather that and not have to make bad deals to survive,� he said. For 21 years, Bailey served as executive vice president with the Cleveland Browns, and then the Baltimore Ravens after the team’s move east. He primarily handled business and financial affairs for the club, including negotiating contracts with players. He left the league 15 years ago, and since then worked for a commercial development company and has consulted on sports stadium projects. The USFL hasn’t established a definite timeline for when the first kickoffs will take place. Although the league wants to hit the field as soon as possible, Bailey said, the launch won’t happen until all the pieces are in place. “We’re going to start when we’re ready to start,� he

Firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District and Escondido Fire Department responded at 11:34 p.m. March 12 to the report of a structure fire in the 20000 block of Date Lane in the community of Del Dios. Upon arrival, firefighters saw smoke and flames coming out of two metal storage sheds. They worked quickly to extinguish the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to a nearby residential structure. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Yellow Ribbon Week speaker encourages TPHS students to ‘stay in the game’ BY KAREN BILLING Yellow Ribbon Week at Torrey Pines High seeks to remind students that they are not alone. The week designated to draw attention to combating suicide has never been timelier, as suicide has become a major public health issue. San Diego County had 441 suicides in 2013, the highest number in county history. Roughly 41,000 suicides occur each year in America, and suicide is the second-leading cause of death among children and young adults ages 10-24. More than 5,000 teens and young adults die by suicide each year, more than in car accidents. As Don Collins, teacher and PALs adviser, told the gym packed with 2,400 students, a San Dieguito Union High School student had committed suicide just the week before. He was 14 years old. “There’s no shame in asking for help. There’s no shame in saying ‘I’m having a tough time and I need some support’,� Collins said. “Things may be stormy right now, but it is not going to rain forever.� The school’s PALs (Peer Assistant Leaders) designed Yellow Ribbon Week around a video-game theme, encouraging students to “stay in the game� with informational posters and a lineup of guest speakers that included Cmdr. Andrew Doan, M.D., Ph.D., the head of mental health addictions and resilience research for the Naval Medical Center in San Diego. Doan is not only a staff opthalmologist and ocular pathologist, but is an expert in technology and video game addiction. “We do better when we know better, and Dr. Doan gave us some vital information not just about how too much technology can impair performance, undermine success, and create suffering, but key ways to develop skills for communication, relationships and empathy,� Collins said. “His presentation was a great reminder that teenage Cmdr. Andrew Doan, left, brains are still developing and that too much of anything with Don Collins, Torrey can create life-long problems, especially if these habits get esPines Teacher of the Year tablished at a young age.� and PALS adviser. Doan spoke about having his own share of stress and issues growing up. He was teased about his Vietnamese name. He was a teen at the time the film “Sixteen Candles� was released, and peers called him “Long Duk Dong� like a Vietnamese character in that movie. Doan said his immigrant parents put a lot of pressure on him to become a lawyer or a

When he got into Johns Hopkins Medical School on a full-ride scholarship, some relatives remarked that it “wasn’t Harvard,� even though it was the top medical school in the country at the time. Doan said he knows many students at Torrey Pines are probably feeling the same kind of stress and pressure. “If you don’t have a healthy way of dealing with stress, it can really get destructive,� he said, adding that his father struggled with mental illness after worrying and burying his concerns about his immigration status. He said a remedy for stress is having a healthy mind, body and spirit. He advised stuSee STUDENTS, page 19

Phonesaithip is vigilant while conducting defensive force protection to ensure assets remain safe. “Nobody gets

Science Discovery Day at Diegueño Country School The recent Science Discovery Day at Diegueño Country School was an exciting school-wide event in which parents and local science educators engaged the children in rich hands-on workshops. This year’s theme was “Soaring to New Heights.” Through the process of discovery, the students developed an awareness and appreciation of the diversity of scientific fields and tremendously enjoyed acquiring knowledge and developing new skills. In an exciting opening assembly, students met renowned kite expert Dave Shenkman, known across the country as the “Kite King.” He thrilled students with an exciting educational, high-energy program that shared his passion for kites and flying. The children learned about the shape and velocity of different kites and ways in which the structural design enhanced the speed and maneuverability of the kites. The rest of the day was filled with a diverse number of workshops in which the students studied everything from pet care to unfolding the mysteries of the human genome. Students examined plankton from local waters, flash froze objects with liquid nitrogen, isolated strands of their own DNA, and were even treated to a surprise visit from Mrs. Frizzle of the Magic School Bus. Science Discovery Day at Diegueño is always a refreshing burst of creative energy! Diegueño Country School is accepting applications for 2015/2016 enrollment .

dents to get plenty of sleep and rest (nine hours a night, doctor’s orders), exercising regularly and taking the time to unplug, using methods like meditation or yoga. Doan talked about gaming and social media as the new “digital drug” and explained how video games work to reprogram the brain through a process called neuronal plasticity. He said the brain “lights up” with exposure to gaming in the same way it does for those addicted to drugs or alcohol. He said 1 in 11 people is addicted to gaming, and there have been some extreme cases of addiction over the last several years. A mom in New Mexico was sentenced to 25 years in jail after her baby starved to death while she was busy playing “World of Warcraft.” A Jacksonville, Fla., mother shook her baby to death because the child interrupted her “Farmville” game. A 20-year-old Xbox addict died because he went on a marathon playing session, ignoring a blood clot that formed in his lower extremities that traveled to his lungs. Doan spoke not only as an expert in video game addiction, but also from his personal experiences. He was addicted to video games at one point and also felt responsible for his son Nicholas’ addiction to gaming. Nicholas became extremely addicted to video games, particularly “Call of

continued from page 10 Duty.” Nicholas became withdrawn, didn’t spend time connecting with people and had a difficult time in school. Using his experiences with gaming addiction, Doan slowly cut back on Nicholas’ gaming. It wasn’t easy, but Nicholas slowly started participating in other activities and was encouraged to go out for track and field. It turned out he was an extremely fast runner, running a 4.11 mile and helping lead his team to the state championship in Oregon. After only 18 months of running, Nicholas is now committed to run Division 1 at the University of Portland. The key to the last 400 meters of the race is having adrenaline left in the tank — adrenaline that Nicholas would not have if he wasted it on gaming. “Time is a precious gift. Every child is gifted with a special talent waiting to be unleashed,” Doan said. “Unplug and discover the gift.” As with gaming, Doan said, teens can become addicted to social media, obsessing over “likes” and “friend” lists, constantly checking Instagram feeds or using Snapchat or Kik. Doan said overuse of social media can lead to a lack of communication skills, empathy, reflective thoughts and self-control. No online friend can replace what a real-life friend or family member can provide, he said.

“You need close relationships to make you feel content and happy,” Doan said, recommending that people make a list of five people in their life and work to foster those relationships. “Our society is facing a crisis: We’re afraid of being bored,” he said. “I encourage you to be bored. When you’re bored, you have original thoughts; you create and explore.” After the week’s presentations, many teachers emailed Collins to thank him for bringing the speaker to campus for Yellow Ribbon Week. “I think it’s impressive how many teachers immediately asked how to get this talk to share it with parents and students who weren’t able to attend. It shows the concern the staff has for the well-being of our community,” Collins said. “Plus, the requests are coming from science and math teachers as often as they are from our English, art and social studies teachers. That tells me the teachers are teaching kids here, not topics.” Collins said the interest from staff in sharing the presentation also shows their investment in supporting students’ full development — and making sure that all kids “stay in the game.” To view Yellow Ribbon Week videos and presentation, visit the PALs website, linked from tp.sduhsd.net.

RSF Library Guild hosts ‘Conversation and Lunch with Lisa See’ The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, in partnership with Warwick’s of La Jolla, hosted a special event March 12, “Conversation and Lunch with Lisa See.” This event was the guild’s main fundraiser for the year..

ine” with 42 people with a diversity of opinions. San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy are open boundary schools. If more students select a school than there are available seats, the district decides who gets in through a completely random lottery. No preference is given to proximity. One parent said none of the group’s options seem to be getting at the real issue: “The question is, what’s driving students to choose the other schools? It’s more than just drawing lines,” the parent said, noting many kids want to attend the academies because they can take eight classes rather than six. More classes means more options for AP classes or electives, and if Torrey Pines were made a more attractive and equal option, there might be less “unhappiness” with the selection process. Grove said that personally, he agrees. “Regardless of the ways we enroll kids into high school, we have to address programmatic equity,” he said. “I believe that the real issue is that two of the high schools can take eight classes and two can take six. In an increasingly competitive academic world, more students are drawn to a school that offers eight classes … Is the 4x4 (schedule) the best for every kid? I’m not sure. But the kids need to have the option to take more than six classes if they want to.” Grove said there’s lots of ways the district can get to that equity between campuses. He said that even before the enrollment issue arose, the district was talking about changing the bell schedules because they recognize it is the No. 1 factor driving people to the academies. The workshops were not intended to discuss enrollment for the 2015-16 school year, although the coming school year’s high school selection lottery was held March 12. Email notification of their students’ schools was scheduled to go to parents on Wednesday, March 18. Student enrollment begins March 30, and students have until April 24 to register. While the district will not release information on the numbers until that time, declarations for this year are almost identical to last year, the second year of that trend toward the academies, Grove said. At the March 5 board meeting, Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district feels good about the numbers and that they hope all students will get into their first-choice schools. All freshmen students on the wait lists at Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito High School Academy were accepted last year (126 students at the former and 64 students at the latter). Since 2008, 98 percent of students got into their first-choice school. In 2011-12, 512 students applied to San Dieguito and 112 were put on the initial wait list. Eventu-

ally 80 were accepted and 32 did not get in. CCA also faced an influx in 2011-12 with 781 freshman applicants. Of those, 510 were accepted with an initial wait list of 271, and 221 did not get in. All 559 applicants got into the school in 2012-13 and the following year, CCA had 137 left on the wait list in 2013-14. “Moving forward, things are going to get tighter, as we’re running out of space at the academies,” Grove said. Most of the movement between schools is lateral, not vertical. Only 71 students in grades nine through 12 at CCA are from the north end of the district, and only 33 students at San Dieguito come from the south end of the district. Forty students moved vertically, with 20 attending La Costa Canyon and 20 opting to go to Torrey Pines. People at the workshop questioned why everyone was allowed in last year. Grove explained that one of the ways the district was able to find capacity was by looking at the master schedules. “We walked the entire campuses with master schedules and did a facility efficiency study to figure out how to get more kids into the schools,” Grove said, noting that some rooms that were used for storage or prep were able instead to be used to add students. Another factor was Prop AA funding. The district was able to accelerate plans to build another classroom building at CCA, moving the project from 2019-20 to the new classrooms being available in fall 2017. More capacity allows larger groups to be accepted into the school. Parents wanted to know why the number of slots available at CCA is “secret.” “It seems like a black hole,” one parent said. Grove said the number isn’t secret, but always changing — because of the numbers of students leaving or graduating. He said the district continues to work on facilities to create more space to admit more kids and also looks at schedules and programs. Parents had questions about the legality of homeowners not being able to attend the school their Mello-Roos fees paid to build. Grove said that the seats available at any particular school have to be at least equal to the percentage of the school cost funded by Mello-Roos. Roughly 53 percent of CCA was funded through Mello-Roos and about 20 percent of SDHSA was. The district has the options to do a Mello-Roos lottery and non-Mello-Roos lottery, or do a completely random lottery and make sure that the Mello-Roos threshold is met schoolwide. The district takes the approach of the random lottery and has never come close to not meeting the threshold. Also, Grove noted that every dollar spent from Prop AA monies to add to the school lowers the Mello-Roos percentage — so those 53 percent and 20 percent numbers will only continue to go down.

Harrell: “During all this time…MA2 (Phonesaithip) was one of my top performing sailors. She never complained about being on the water for extended periods of time. Knew her job cold, and was always striving to learn the next job up. She is just a check ride short of being qualified as an RCB coxswain, making her the second only female at the command.” Said Phonesaithip, “I’ve learned a lot about myself. I worked hard every day. Hopefully, the girls that come after me — they’ll continue to work hard and not be treated any differently. She will remain at CRS-2, training with the company that will acquire the Navy’s next-generation MKVI Patrol Boat. The day of the USS Cole bombing, President Bill Clinton said, “If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism, it was despicable and a cowardly act.” Terrorism is undeniably real. Master at Arms 2nd Class Linda Phonesaithip is pulling her own weight to prevent it, serving in this former all-male Riverine combat role. For those who have lost their lives, at the hands of despots and cowards, stand those who honor their sacrifices with unceasing vigilance.

VACCINATIONS “It affects our staff, too,” added board president Vicki King. “It is affecting staff right now.” Having existed since the 1960s, the exemption isn’t new, but the number of parents taking the exemption has increased in recent years. In some California schools, more than half of the students have not been vaccinated, citing the exemption. In 2000, federal health officials declared that measles had been eliminated in the U.S. But as the popularity of the personalbelief exemption increased, so too, did the number of measles cases. The country experienced a record number of cases last year, and the December outbreak that began at Disneyland has been linked to dozens of cases in California and other states. With the number of cases on the rise, the state has aimed to reduce the number of exemptions. A new California law, which took effect last year, changed the process for parents requesting immunization exemptions for their children. Assembly Bill 2109 requires signed documentation by a health care provider informing the parent about the benefits and

FAMILY first time, they looked like me, it was so crazy,” Anderson said. While her sisters are all blonde (with a different father), there were definitely some facial similarities. The sisters had said that they weren’t sure Anderson’s mother was ready to meet her yet and she wasn’t expected to attend. But as a surprise, her mother walked into the restaurant. “She looked at me and said, ‘My daughter, my daughter.’ We gave each other a big hug,” Anderson said. “It was very emotional for my mom. She had to get up from the table several times … My mom said she always thought about me over the years when my birthday came around and always hoped I had a good life.” Over wine and many, many questions, Anderson found it unbelievable how similar she and her sisters are, sharing the same laugh, way of talking and sense of humor. Anderson, a chef, also found that her mother is also a great cook — a favorite dish for both is lamb. “We haven’t even gotten into the deep stuff and the question ‘Why?’” Anderson said. “But as the evening went on, it became less and less important because it is what it is and it doesn’t change anything and we

risks of immunizations as well as the risks of vaccine-preventable diseases. “That was a step in the right direction,” said a school nurse at the board meeting. “This (proposed bill) gives parents the power to protect their children even more.” Although board vice president Debra Schade was absent from the meeting, she was also on record in support of the bill. Schade holds a doctorate in public health education and promotion. “As a public health advocate, I strongly support this measure,” said Schade in a letter, which Superintendent Nancy Lynch read before the board. “Immunizations are an important public health program that have proven to be the most effective mechanism to protect our kids from morbidity and mortality that result from disease with high rates of transmission. “The recent outbreak of measles at Disneyland in California demonstrates the necessity to question our current policy. With the exception of medically fragile children who cannot be immunized, this resolution will require all students to provide proof of immunization prior to enrollment.” continued from page 5

have what we have now.” Anderson said she can’t wait to learn more about her new family and hopes to find her biological father as well — she has his name from her birth mother, and her searching is starting anew. From her mother she learned her father was very smart, handsome and swept her off her feet. Anderson encourages anyone on a similar search for family to keep trying; the world is a lot smaller through social media, and connections are possible. More than anything she stresses having an open mind and to be prepared for the different ways people handle these situations. She knows that she is blessed that by the time she finally found her family, everyone wanted the same thing — to come together. “I don’t know how many times I hit rock bottom, but the fact that I didn’t give up made it all worthwhile. I think it all happened for a reason with the timing of everything,” Anderson said. “It’s a whole new journey, a whole new life. I feel like it’s a new start on really knowing who I am and where I came from. It was always such a void to me, and in so many ways I didn’t even realize how important it was.” continued from page 7

didn’t have people with disabilities on TV,” she said. CAF changed Reinertsen’s life when she got her running leg. “And also getting access to the knowledge of how to become an athlete was huge for me. After my surgery, the hospital taught me how to walk, but it didn’t teach me how to run or how to be active.” Reinertsen, involved with CAF for more than 20 years, served as a role model for Breezy. “I saw a video of Sarah when she was finishing the Kona Ironman,” she recalled. “I didn’t know who she was, and I didn’t know about CAF, but it inspired me to get an amputation because I love to run, I love to be active and I knew it would still be possible.” The two met just a month after Breezy’s amputation in 2013. Through CAF she received her running leg, and within two weeks she had decided to enter her first triathlon, the Wildflower event in Paso Robles. “I had no idea what I was getting myself into,” joked Breezy. Now, through CAF, she also mentors other young girls in similar situations. “The CAF has been here for so many people,” said Reinertsen, now training for the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games. “It lifts them up after tragedy or when facing physical disability.” Reinertsen met Williams in 1998 and raced with him for 10 years. She spoke fondly of him. “Everyone knows Robin as a character on the screen, but we got to know him as a person. He was no different from us — he loved sport, and I think that sport was healing for him,” she said. “He brought laughter and joy to the world, but he used sport as a vehicle too, to lift people up. He really did give a lot to this community.” Visit www.challengedathletes.org to find out more or to make a donation.

A best of century: ‘My Fair Lady’ comes to Cygnet Theatre BY DIANA SAENGER Just how rare is it for a play that’s been around for 60 years to still draw audiences? Cygnet Artistic Director Sean Murray, who is directing and starring, with Allison Spratt Pearce, in “My Fair Lady,” has a theory. “It’s musicals, mostly,” Murray said. “But also, this one is based on ‘Pygmalion,’ one of the classics of the English stage. The music sounds so fresh, and every time I hear it, it doesn’t seem lost in the 1950s, partly because Frederick Loewe is a classical composer.” You know the plot: Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle is persuaded to take speech and comportment lessons from Professor Henry Higgins so she can pass herself off as a lady. Murray said the class issues are still relevant today and just as timeless. “I think (playwright) George Bernard Shaw’s feeling, being a good socialist, is that every single human being has a soul and every one of us is equal,” Murray said. “When a society starts putting rules on people judged by their dialect, what country they’re from or how much money they have, the absurdity of classism is revealed. “Shaw’s work explores what happens if you remove all of that — like with the young street girl suddenly afforded a different lifestyle. “I’m very fond of the 1937 film version of ‘Pygmalion,’ with Wendy Hiller and Leslie Howard; it’s really a great movie. Shaw did the screenplay for that movie, so there’s a lot of him in it. The film version was set in 1937, the year it was made, so they were doing a contemporary work.”

Sean Murray as Henry Higgins and Allison Spratt Pearce as Eliza Doolittle in ‘My Fair Lady’ at Cygnet. Photo by Daren Scott In searching for the proper cast, Murray said he was particularly interested in actors who could sing the score. “But because the script is a Shaw piece, I also needed performers who had classical training in their background. I knew Allison (Eliza) had classical training at the Old Globe and worked on period plays of this nature, and then I discovered she also played this role before!” The cast includes Tom Stephenson, Ron Choularton, Bryan Banville, Katie Whalley Banville, Charles Evans Jr., Ralph Johnson, Linda Libby and Debra Wanger. Murray said audiences will also be wowed by the costumes being created and multiple scene changes with lots of new elements to enjoy. “My Fair Lady” runs through April 26, at Cygnet Theatre Company, Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs St. San Diego. Tickets from $39 at 619-337-1525 or cygnettheatre.com.

Mainly Mozart to present program of ‘Goldberg Variations’ March 27 and 29 Mainly Mozart, the nationally acclaimed classical music organization, will present a program of J.S. Bach’s “Goldberg Variations,” transcribed for string trio by Dmitry Sitkovetsky, on March 27 and 29 at venues in La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe. Mainly Mozart has hosted some of the world’s finest musicians in its 27-year history, and this trio is no exception: Violinist Ida Kavafian, violist Steven Tenenbom, and cellist Peter Wiley have all performed extensively around the nation. “Most musicians think of Bach’s ‘Goldberg Variations’ as our closest equivalent to the holy grail,” said violinist Ida Kavafian. “It is a work that is as intellectually unparalleled as it is beautiful. Only a genius like Bach could write something so close to perfection. “Until Dimitri Sitkovetsky arranged it for trio, string players could only admire it

from afar. Now we can share this great experience that keyboardists have enjoyed for 275 years. What a privilege it is. Fasten your seatbelts — you’re in for a great ride!” The March 27 performance will be at 7:30 p.m. at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla and will have a 6:30 p.m. wine and cheese reception. The performance ends with a post-concert artist talk-back. The March 29 performance will take place at 5:30 p.m. at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe with a 5 p.m. Champagne Welcome.

‘Curious Savage’ set to play March 20-22 at Village Church Community Theater The Village Church Community Theater presents “The Curious Savage,” a thought-provoking comic tale that will challenge you to discover again the values of kindness and affection lost in a world that seems motivated at times by greed and dishonesty. Ethel Savage, a new widow, has been left with a substantial fortune. Her three grown children — a senator, a judge and a gold-digger of a daughter — are intent on keeping her from disposing of it as she chooses. So they conspire to have her committed to a private sanatorium known as “The Cloisters.” There, Ethel is left to work out how she will deal with her spiteful offspring, while getting to know the colorful characters who live in the facility. “The Curious Savage,” by John Patrick, is a play filled with heart where the neglected virtues of goodness have not been entirely lost.

Old Globe’s ‘The White Snake’ set to charm audiences BY DIANA SAENGER Over the years, The Old Globe has brought drama, mystery, Shakespeare, comedy and lots of surprises to the stage to entertain its patrons. Arriving March 21 is another sureto-be hit, “The White Snake,� based on an ancient Chinese fable. Writer/director Mary Zimmerman has an impressive resume, and said the idea to look at this fable came as a suggestion from Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s artistic director, Bill Rauch. “The play is so enduring with its appeal, and although it’s rare that I don’t have my own ideas, I did as Bill suggested,� Zimmerman said. “I don’t start writing a play until we’re in rehearsal. I write in between rehearsals and bring the script in every day, so the actual time of writing is only as long as the rehearsal. I’ve worked that way my entire career. Design generally takes about a year. “This is the seventh different production of ‘The White Snake.’ We’ve done it in China at the international Wuzhen Theatre Festival, and several regional theaters.� Zimmerman’s visionary staging of the fable tells the tale of a gentle serpent that transforms into a beautiful woman. Once she falls in love with a dashing young man, she no longer wants to return to snakehood. This displeases a wicked monk, who vows to destroy her. The play has received a plethora of accolades from reviewers, who called it “strikingly beautiful,� “unforgettable,� “a lavish, aesthetically stunning production� and “a theatrical treasure to be enjoyed by the whole family.� Of its success, Zimmerman said, part of it is due to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival “and that we’ve taken the show so many places. What touches audiences most is the message that you can be known for who you really are and still be loved. That’s the basis of a lot of fairy tales, and here, it’s actually a beast as a snake disguised as a beautiful young woman. She’s frightened that the man she loves will no lon-

ger love her if he knows her true nature. Another audience charmer is that the play is very funny and beautiful.� OSF has a standing repertory company, so there’s a requirement to use company members, but in assembling her cast, Zimmerman said she also needed more Asian actors in the show. “The company had some, but I wanted more,� she said. “I was allowed to audition in New York and Chicago and the majority of the cast has stuck with this show. A great addition is Wai Yim, who is Chinese. Many of the Asian actors already knew the stories and grew up with them. They all read different versions of the fable, but the engagement of embodying it and figuring out how to do it on stage, is their research. There’s nothing more intimate than what the actor does to portray a character because there’s a depth of feeling that has to go into that.� For the San Diego premiere, there are a few new cast members and a few who shifted roles, but the actors playing the four principal roles remain the same. “I’m very grateful for Tanya Thai McBride and Amy Kim Waschke, the two women playing the snakes, who’ve played them from the very first day. I wouldn’t want to do this show without them, as they are so fixed in my mind.� Zimmerman feels this will be the last production of “The White Snake� and encourages theater patrons to see it. “It’s beautiful, funny, visually surprising and there is a lot of puppeteering that goes on,� she said. “Young and old will enjoy the ingenuity of our storytelling as we suspend disbelief and go on a ride. Children love the show, but it does take a frightening turn at the end, and it does have great sorrow in it. At the conclusion it becomes quite philosophical, which is very moving.� “The White Snake� plays March 21-April 26 on the Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park. Tickets from $29 at 619-23-GLOBE, TheOldGlobe.org.

Chef Celebration to kick off annual dinners at SB’s Pamplemousse Grille BY KRISTINA HOUCK To fund scholarships for aspiring chefs, dozens of award-winning chefs from around the county will come together March 31 through May 3 for the Chef Celebration’s annual Dinner Series. Once again, the series will kick off March 31 at Pamplemousse Grille in Solana Beach with a five-course menu from chefs Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room, Tommy DiMella of Del Mar Country Club, Stephane Voitzwinkler of Bertrand at Mister A’s, and Jeff Jackson of A.R. Valentien at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. “Some of San Diego’s finest chefs are coming to the restaurant,” said Strauss, executive chef and owner of Pamplemousse Grille. “I can’t imagine a better team being put together.” Founded in 1995 by a small group of local chefs, Chef Celebration strives to enhance the knowledge and potential of aspiring young culinarians. Through a series of annual events, including the dinner series, the nonprofit has raised more than $225,000 in culinary scholarships for more than 80 people. “It’s important that as a culinary community we continue to strengthen San Diego’s reputation for fantastic cuisine, and one of the best ways we can do this is to cultivate and support our successors,” said Jim Phillips, president of Chef Celebration. With his time and his talents, Strauss has supported the organization since he opened Pamplemousse Grille in 1996. From President George W. Bush and Prince Charles, to Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, Strauss has created dishes for a number of world leaders and world-renowned entertainers. Before opening his first restaurant, Pamplemousse Grille, he worked as an executive sous chef and executive chef at Glorious Food, a New York City catering company, for more than 15 years. Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Strauss was among nine of 800 applicants to receive a culinary apprenticeship at the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia, where he earned the Gold Medal for Culinary Showmanship. “A long, long, long time ago, I was one of those young chefs,” Strauss said. “I’ve always had help. Now, I’m excited to help.” More than 50 local chefs, including Strauss, are participating in the 20th annual dinner series to benefit the organization’s culinary scholarship program, which sends lower and mid-level cooks on an all-expense paid, intensive weeklong training course at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa. Last year, the organization sent a dozen young cooks to the program. Beginning March 31 at Pamplemousse Grille, the annual dinner series continues on Tuesdays throughout April at Terra American Bistro in San Diego, Tom Ham’s Lighthouse at Harbor Island, La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, and Tidal at Paradise Point Resort and Spa in San Diego. The April 7 event at Terra American Bistro will feature Carmel Valley’s “Sam the Cooking Guy” (Sam Zien) as well as local chefs Matt Gordon of Sea and Smoke and Hanis Cavin of Carnitas’ Snack Shack.

Thanks to the culinary scholarships, entry- and mid-level cooks can take an intensive weeklong training course at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa. Courtesy photo The series culminates Sunday, May 3, with Chef Celebration’s annual Beer Master Pairing Event at Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens in Liberty Station, featuring 14 chefs and 14 breweries. “I love this dinner and I love the group of chefs that come together every year for it,” Strauss said. “I recommend that people start with us and then go to the other ones. It’s a great deal and a great cause.” Reservations for the five-course dinner at Pamplemousse Grille are available from 5-8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $85 per person. Pamplemousse Grille is at 514 Via de la Valle in Solana Beach. For information or to buy tickets, call 858-792-9090 or visit www.pgrille.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Encinitas jeweler polishes another facet of career with gold business After working nearly 70 years in the jewelry business, William T. Flora is starting a new venture. At 87, the Encinitas resident is now buying, selling and trading gold. “I’m the person to go to because of my years of experience in the jewelry industry,” Flora said. Born in Decatur, Ill., in 1928, Flora grew up in the jewelry business. In 1921, his parents, Walter T. and Rosamond Flora, fled a West Frankfort labor riot and Ku Klux Klan lynch mob to purchase Frank Curtis Jewelry Store and Optical Co. in Decatur. The couple had previously operated a jewelry store in West Frankfort. At 14, Flora began buying jewelry for his father. Four years later, he and his older brother, Walter Flora Jr., took over the business in 1946, and changed the name to Walter Flora and Sons Jewelers. “I was raised in it,” Flora said. “From the time I was 11, I stood by my father’s side, and I listened to him sell to customers. That’s how I learned the business.” A decade after purchasing the shop, Flora took the reins completely when his brother opted to concentrate on his optometrist business full time. Looking back, Flora said he most enjoyed designing and creating pieces for his customers. “I enjoyed the fact that it was a very high-quality business,” he said. One of his favorite memories was when he took two of his customers, a Decatur couple, to Harry Winston in New York in search of the perfect ruby. At that time, in 1956, Harry Winston owned the Hope Diamond, which Flora got to hold and place around his customer’s neck. Two years later, Harry Winston donated the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian Institution after owning it for a decade. In 2011, the diamond was valued between $200 million to $250 million. “I handled it,” Flora recalled. “I didn’t realize I was holding history.” In 1981, Flora’s son, Ware Flora, and his wife, Becky, became the owners of Flora Gems, which opened its doors as Frank Curtis Jewelry Store and Optical Co. in 1856. With more than 150 years in business, today the store is owned by Flora’s grandson, John Flora, the fourth generation of the

William T. Flora Flora family. He took over the business in 2000. Although Flora fondly remembers his time at Flora Gems, in recent decades he has opened and closed three jewelry stores throughout San Diego County, in Hillcrest, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. About eight years ago, he shifted his focus to try his hand at collecting dental scraps. His latest venture is privately buying, selling and trading gold. He’s willing to meet clients at their homes or wherever is convenient. “It’s a service people will appreciate,” he said. For information, call 858-444-6527 or email Bill.

Local author enjoying the ‘wow’ things as second book nears publication BY LOIS ALTER MARK Since his first book, “Nowhere Yet,” came out in 2012, Edward Cozza’s life has been filled with what he likes to call “wow” things. “Being honored with three Beverly Hills Book Awards was a ‘wow’ thing,” said the local author. “Going to New York to receive the IPPY gold medal from the Independent Publishers was a ‘wow’ thing, and having a bourbon with Chef Dean Fearing — someone I’ve admired forever — now, that was definitely a ‘wow’ thing.” To many readers, Cozza’s debut novel was a “wow” thing itself. The story, about old friends and lost loves reuniting during a long weekend in Palm Springs, is reminiscent of “The Big Chill,” and it’s easy to relate to and recognize people you know in the four main characters. Because those characters remained with their creator long after he finished writing about them, they’re returning in a sequel, “Near Somewhere,” which is scheduled for publication next month. “The first book started out as a short story and just

got longer and longer,” explained Cozza. “So I decided it would be the first of a trilogy. But now that ‘Near Somewhere’ is done, I actually changed the inside cover to ‘Book Two of a Series’ just in case I need more than three. That may mean I am now — still? — out of control.” Cozza’s self-deprecating humor and enthusiasm have made him a popular speaker, and his standing-room-only appearance at Warwick’s helped propel “Nowhere Yet” into the store’s Top 50 Bestsellers of 2012. Or it could have been the fact that he writes so passionately about eating and drinking. “I think food brings an element of realism into a story,” said Cozza. “When I was traveling for business, food and drink were major factors in protecting my sanity. Taking in slices of Americana was important to me, and that usually involved eating.” In fact, food plays such an important role in Cozza’s appreciation for the “finer” things in life that the foreword to his new novel is written by Chef Dean Fearing of the Ritz-Carlton in

“Near Somewhere” by writer Edward Cozza continues the story of the characters in “Nowhere Yet.” Dallas, who is often referred to as “the father of Southwestern cooking.” “I met Dean in Dallas for a ‘Bourbon and Book’ event I was doing, and it means so much that he wrote this for me,” Cozza said. “If you read his splendid cookbook, ‘The Texas Food Bible,’ you realize how important food is in connecting people. Having a room service salad, even a good one, doesn’t help you connect — not to a person or a culture or a true flavor. There’s nothing worse than a table for one.” Cozza’s characters often congregate around food and drink, just like the author himself. Because traveling for work never allowed much time for sightseeing, Cozza spent much of his free time in restaurants and bars, trying out regional specialties and getting to know the locals. These experiences gave him a deep respect for bartenders who, according to Cozza, “see all, know all.” As he recalled, “Even if I wasn’t drinking, bartenders of-

ten helped save my far-from-home soul. That’s probably why there are always bartenders in my books. I owe them a lot — spiritually, not monetarily. I always pay my tab.” These days, Cozza gets to travel more for fun and to introduce readers to his books. His next trips are to Cincinnati and New York, both of which, he pointed out, have great local fare. He’s looking forward to feasting on chili in Cincinnati and Italian food in New York. “The weight-loss program will be on hold for those,” he laughed, “but will be amping up when I get back.” He’s also hoping to head to Oakland, St. Louis, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., and Miami — cities of the only Major League Baseball parks he hasn’t yet visited. Then he’ll start on the Minor League parks. Travel has become a real joy for Cozza, who is excited to spread his “Unplug and Connect” message. He wrote both of his books by hand in Moleskine journals, and strongly believes that, despite all the high-tech devices — or maybe because of them — our hearts are craving personal connection. “We need to stay in touch and stay connected,” said Cozza. “I’ve heard from so many readers that they’re being emotionally impacted by being away from the ones they love and care about. Texts and emails just aren’t cutting it.” Cozza will probably be making many personal connections on his next book tour, and is hoping, along the way, to also check off the eight states left to complete his bucket list item of visiting every state in the country. “I need to come up with book signings in Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Delaware. If you could help with those, that would be tremendous.” You can see Cozza in person at a Warwick’s-sponsored event soon.

Trader Joe’s grand opening March 27 in PHR Village The new Trader Joe’s in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch is set to open at 8 a.m. Friday, March 27. Trader Joe’s “Captain” (store manager) Scott Walsh, Regional Vice President Laurie Kuchinsky and the Trader Joe’s crew will gather first thing in the morning for a ceremonial “lei-cutting” The opening-day celebration for the new to welcome new customers — Trader Trader Joe’s will include food demonstrations Joe’s style. and giveaways of reusable grocery bags. The celebration will continue all day with food demonstrations, reusable bag giveaways, and more. The store is at 13480 Highlands Place, on the corner of Carmel Valley Road and Village Center Loop Drive, across from Canyon Crest Academy. The store will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and will offer beer, wine, and spirits in addition to groceries. It will feature festive décor, mixing Trader Joe’s traditional cedar-covered walls and Hawaiian-inspired elements with local flair, including art that celebrates the neighborhood. Throughout the store, several colorful hand-painted murals pay tribute to the Del Mar Racetrack, Torrey Pines State Beach, the Black Mountain hot air balloons, and more. Trader Joe’s in Pacific Highlands Ranch has tapped Walsh as its captain. He comes to the new store from the Oceanside Trader Joe’s and has been with the company for 33 years. The “Trader” in Trader Joe’s refers to the way the company blazed a trail through the grocery industry, searching the world for great values and distinctive products. Store employees, dubbed “Crew Members,” consider themselves “traders on the culinary seas.” Some crew members sport brightly colored Hawaiian-themed shirts, adding to the friendly, lighthearted air of the store. Many area residents can expect to receive a copy of the Trader Joe’s “Fearless Flyer” in their mailboxes after the store opens. The Fearless Flyer is a somewhat irreverent description of Trader Joe’s products. Trader Joe’s carries an extensive array of domestic and imported foods and beverages, including artisan breads, Arabica bean coffees, international frozen entrées, 100 percent juices, fresh crop nuts, deli items, vitamins and more. Stores also offer customers the basics, like milk and eggs, at competitive prices. Trader Joe’s doesn’t have “sales” for a few days, only to hike the prices again. Trader Joe’s says its prices change only when costs change — there are no fancy promotions, discount cards or couponing wars.

It may sound incredible, but 69 percent of parents don’t have a will — and those who do still risk their children being taken from their home, at least temporarily, if they are injured or die. Think about it. If children are at home with a babysitter or at school, and the parents are in an accident and can’t communicate, the police have no choice but to call in Child Protective Services until they figure out what to do. That can mean temporary foster care. When lawyer Kristina Hess, a mother of three, discovered that her kids would be taken into the foster care system if she were injured or died — even though she had a will — she realized that traditional “estate planning� does not adequately protect young children. So Hess is offering parents a free workshop, “7 Easy Steps You MUST Take to Protect Your Minor Children in Today’s Crazy World.� The workshop will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, March 26, at Pump It Up, the inflatable party zone in Sorrento Valley. The kids can enjoy food and play time with Pump It Up staff while the parents learn how to provide for and protect their families. Register to 858-207-4884, or visit www. KRHess.com/events.

The Lofts at North Cedros to host Spring Block Party March 27 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Just outside of the Cedros Design District, other creative minds have come together at The Lofts at North Cedros. To celebrate the creative space, the businesses are hosting a Spring Block Party on March 27. “We love being off the beaten path, feeling kind of like hidden gems, but we also want people to know that creative business is booming just a block up the street,” said Alexa Stefankiewicz, digital media coordinator at Rebecca Norman Studio, a jewelry and handbag boutique. Although Rebecca Norman Studio is one of the newest shops to open at The Lofts, Rebecca Norman started her business in the building in 2000. After seven years, she moved her production studio to Carlsbad and opened a boutique on Cedros Avenue. In July 2014, Norman brought both sides of the businesses together when she returned to The Lofts at North Cedros. “We make everything here and have a small studio downstairs,” said Norman, a Leucadia resident who is heading the block party. “I love Solana Beach, and this space is so nice.” Located on East Cliff Street, the building used to be an industrial warehouse. With the local creative scene consistently

growing, however, the building has become Solana Beach’s newest creative space. Now rebranded, The Lofts at North Cedros houses 16 businesses about a half-mile from the Cedros Design District. From a day spa to a photography studio, the building today is filled with artisans, craftsmen and designers. “Every shop has something great to offer that can’t be found anywhere else,” Stefankiewicz said. “We’re using this party to network professionally, grow our client bases, enhance support for local businesses, and provide clients and shoppers with unique and personal experiences.” The block party will feature food, drinks, demonstrations and sample sales. DJ Savvy Dane and Big Boss Bubeleh will perform live music. Open to the public, the free event will take place from 3-8 p.m. at The Lofts at North Cedros, 120 E. Cliff St. “This building is right in the middle of a neighborhood,” Norman said. “Sometimes I think people in the neighborhood have no idea how many really cool businesses are here. We’re just hoping that folks in the neighborhood will take the time to come and see us.” For more about Rebecca Norman Studio, visit rebeccanorman.com.

Chef’s new wave of dishes rolling in to Pacifica Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON Executive Chef Chris Powell has rolled out a wave of new dishes at Pacifica Del Mar. It was a gradual move by Powell, who joined the restaurant on Nov. 1. He began introducing items in December, but most of the changes came in late January and February. Powell overhauled the entire breakfast menu at Pacifica’s “sister” restaurant, Breeze Café, which is just down the stairs; he also revamped three-fourths of Pacifica’s breakfast menu, a third of its lunch menu and half of the dinner menu. “It’s simpler food done really well,” said Powell, who has more than 20 years of experience cooking for well-known area restaurants such as Whisknladle, Bali Hai, Roy’s and La Jolla’s Grande Colonial Hotel. “I wanted to expand the palate,” he added, and “there’s so much opportunity with the local produce” that’s available. Among the small plates that he recently debuted are meaty pieces of Charred Octopus dressed with Meyer lemon, Marcona almond slivers, frisee, lemon oil and balsamic; Ahi Crudo, decorated with sweet Sumo citrus slices and cipollini onions, watercress, and garlic fennel seed oil that adds a hint of licorice flavor; and the Sizzling Shrimp, featuring a bowl of jumbo head-on shrimps sautéed in garlic and butter (scampi-style), served in a Calabrian chile pepper sauce that has a touch of spiciness. There’s also the Fuji Apple Salad made with Suzie’s Farm organic butter lettuce, bacon, blue cheese and honey mustard vinaigrette; Ahi Tuna Poke; and Steamed Black Mussels. Another Powell specialty is the Market Fish, which rotates depending on the season. During a recent evening, the featured catch was yellowtail, a tender and flaky piece enhanced by oven-roasted butternut squash puree, pea tendrils, cherry tomato halves, pieces of Dungeness crab, and a zesty yuzu kosho vinaigrette. Halibut will be offered soon, Powell said. Among the latest of the large plates to be introduced are the Short Rib and the Lobster Bucatini “Carbonara,” a flavorful pile of thick spaghetti mixed with bacon, Parmesan fonduta, peas, egg yolk and black truffle, topped with a large piece of sweet lobster. Finally, Powell and new chef Will Von Pertz (previously of Whisknladle) have unveiled several decadent desserts: Sweet D’s Glazed Chocolate Cake, composed of devil’s food cake surrounded by a “mirror” glaze, garnished with a dollop of silky peanut butter mousse and sprinkled with brown butter Maldon roasted peanuts; Whipped NY Cheesecake Tart; the Ice Cream Sandwich, featuring cookies-and-cream gelato packed between two large chocolate chip cookies, with fudge sauce; and the Butterscotch Budino. Despite all the menu changes, Powell noted certain items that are “untouchable” for now — signature dishes that include the Sugar-Spiced Salmon, Mustard Catfish, Local Seabass and Seared “Rare” Ahi. Meanwhile, there are specials nearly every day at Pacifica. Happy hour is celebrated from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and all night Sunday and Monday. Guests re-

ceive half off small bites, and $2 off beers, featured cocktails, wines by the glass and other select appetizers. Among the libations to consider: the sunset-colored Pineapple-Chipotle Margarita, served in a glass rimmed with chile sea salt and garnished with lime. The first sips are sweet and smoky, but wait a moment, and the heat will kick in. The restaurant also has several “themed” events each week: Taco Tuesdays, when patrons can order two tacos and a Corona for $9; Martini & Oyster Night on Wednesdays; and 50 percent off bottles of wine on Thursdays. In addition, two-course Sunset Suppers are offered from 5 to 6 p.m. daily, for $23.75 per person; and brunch on weekends. “(Here) it’s really about friends and family coming together and enjoying the experience,” Powell said. Pacifica Del Mar is at 1555 Camino del Mar in Del Mar. Lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; dinner is from 5 p.m. to close daily. Call 858-792-0476 or go to www.pacificadelmar.com.

Foods that Help Prevent Varicose Veins While it’s true that varicose and spider veins can be hereditary, they are also largely the result of our lifestyle. In either case, however, there are things we can do to help promote our vascular health and thereby reduce the risk of varicose veins from occurring. I addressed one of these preventative issues a couple months ago

when I discussed how exercise can work to prevent varicose veins. But there are also certain foods we can incorporate into our diet that contain particular ingredients that have been known to combat varicose and spider veins. Blueberries While the term “super food” may get thrown around too often, blueberries might truly be just that. These berries have been shown to be one of the healthiest foods we can eat. The list of their benefits is extensive, and one of the advantages is that they can help prevent varicose veins. Blueberries help neutralize enzymes that break down our connective tissue. They also contribute to the overall health of our vascular system

by repairing damaged proteins in the blood vessel walls. Ginger Ginger has long been a food known for its healing qualities and is often used to treat varicose veins and promote circulation. Fibrin is a protein that causes veins to become lumpy and hard, therefore a person that has difficulty breaking down fibrin may develop varicose veins. Ginger, however, has been shown to break down fibrin in the blood vessels. If you add ginger to your diet, it is recommended that you use fresh ginger, as it is most effective. Avocado Avocados have multiple compounds that help fight varicose veins. First off, they are

rich in both vitamin C and E, which are two important vitamins for vascular health. Additionally, avocados contain glutathoine, which is a molecule that protects veins and arteries from oxidant damage. Beets Beets contain a compound called betacyanin which has been known to greatly reduce natural amino acids that can damage blood vessels. Additionally, the leaves atop the beets are also highly nutritious, so don’t throw them out. You can use them as a substitute for spinach in almost any meal.

‘Aladdin Jr.’ at North Coast Rep to raise money for Malala Fund The cast of the Theatre School@North Coast Rep is honoring the message of “Aladdin Jr.” by raising money for the Malala Fund, the charity led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai that helps girls in the Middle East get an education. “The two central themes of the show are freedom and being yourself,” said Siobhan Sullivan Crews, the show’s director, and the director of education and outreach for the Theatre School. “Both are struggles for girls around the world, but no place more than the Middle East. Girls are denied education and forced into marriages. ‘Aladdin Jr.’ begins with Princess Jasmine being forced to choose a husband because of tradition. “Malala’s story is inspirational. The fact that she survived the horrendous act of being shot for speaking up for her beliefs and is now using her voice to promote education for girls around the world is courageous. She is a role model for our young actors and we are excited to share her story with them.” The actors are selling handmade bracelets for $5 each at their shows, and hope to raise at least $500 overall. Students aged 5 to 17 will perform the musical the first weekend in April. Based on the 1992 Disney movie, “Aladdin Jr.” features music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. The plot follows the love story of Jasmine and Aladdin as they deal with magic, mayhem, and zany characters. The production also marks a return for two former students, this time in leadership roles. Megan Goyette is the assistant director/choreographer and Ben Read is the musical director. “Aladdin Jr.” runs April 2-5. Performances are 5 p.m. April 2 and 4; 12:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. April 3; 2 p.m. April 4 and 3 p.m. April 5. North Coast Repertory Theater is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach.

TPHS students’ drone photography aims to help take home sales to new heights Torrey Pines High School students Brandon Trentalange, Christian Spencer and Sibo Yan are providing a unique perspective on the adage, “location, location, location,” with their new venture, Altitude. They are using the latest high-tech equipment in aerial real estate photography: a fleet of camera-carrying drones. “Brando,” as he’s known in the Entrepreneurship Club at school, talks passionately to anyone willing to listen about how he and his two partners can help real estate professionals get to the top of their game by offering a bird’s-eye view of their properties. He believes adding high-quality custom aerial views will set his clients apart. “My vision for Altitude came to me while watching a commercial drone demonstration at Caltech,” Trentalange said. “My uncle (a robotics engineer at Caltech) invited me to see the unlimited applications being explored in drone technology — and I just took off from there.” The young entrepreneurs note that using drones for aerial photography offers the most cost-effective way to showcase any property. Their goal is to give clients an edge in the highly competitive world of real estate by featuring their properties to potential buyers. Using this new marketing trend will keep them one step ahead of their competitors — with Altitude aerial real estate services flying with them. Visit www.sdaltitude.com.
