RSF Association approves new, fully screened AT&T antennas for Village • AT&T planner says 4G wireless coverage will improve in RSF

■ R. Roger Rowe School Science Discovery Day. AA1.

April 10, 2014

By Karen Billing Rancho Santa Fe will get a boost in 4G LTE wireless coverage in the coming months as the RSF Association board April 3 approved a screening method for new cell antennas atop village rooftops. AT&T proposes to

install two, 12-panel antenna arrays on two buildings owned by Susan Woolley on the southeast corner of La Flecha and Via de Santa Fe. The antennas will be concealed from view by a 5-foot parapet wall on the buildings. “Once we turn on this site it will significantly improve coverage in the Covenant area,” said Jim Kennedy, a planner with AT&T. The process for the new antennas was set in

motion back in 2011. According to RSF Association Building Commissioner Robert Green, AT&T proposed several solutions to screen the antenna arrays — one being a penthouse atop the building that was not well received by the Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC) or the neighboring condo association, Los Conchanillas. AT&T also proposed a tower but, through working with the CDRC, was able

to come up with the more plain and simple plan of parapet walls around the tops of the buildings. The parapets will match the color of the building and no equipment will be visible above the parapet. Kennedy said the parapet is designed to accommodate future growth and other carriers on the roof. “I thank AT&T for working diligently with the CDRC and Mrs. Woolley

for her patience in working through the process,” Green said. Kennedy said they will next to go to the county for construction permits and hopefully compete the process in four months. He said AT&T is anxious to get the project going. “You can’t put these up fast enough,” said RSF Association President Philip Wilkinson. “Cell service in this community is not very good.”

be on a community-wide ballot by June. In the October 2012 Club Mark survey to determine the community’s satisfaction with the Golf Club, 81 percent were in favor of this kind of change. In the past, the RSF Golf Club board had objected to condo memberships to avoid heavy course use. “That was a different time,” said RSF Association President Philip Wilkinson, noting that the club had about 650 members then and was worried about overcrowding.

By Karen Billing R. Roger Rowe Middle School Principal Garrett Corduan has been a great addition to campus in his first year, according to district superintendent Lindy Delaney. The new leader also brings with him several new ideas to improve the middle school experience moving forward. Corduan presented his new ideas to the Rancho Santa Fe School board on April 3, including changes to the student council election process, more enrichment classes and a new sixth grade camp destination, possibly extending the camp to include seventh and eighth graders as well. One of his first changes that will be implemented next month involves moving the student council elections from fall to spring. Traditionally, elections are held in September which means students don’t get into action until October. By holding elections for the following school year in May, he said students will be able to hit the ground running in August. “There is a need to get rolling quickly in August because we have plenty of work to do,” Corduan said. Delaney said the idea has

Association seeks more rights for condo owners • Community vote proposed on Golf Club membership, right to vote By Karen Billing The Rancho Santa Fe Association will pursue granting RSF Golf Club membership rights to condo owners in the Covenant. The change would require a modification of the Association’s Articles of Incorporation and would be subject to a member vote. At its April 3 meeting, the RSF Association board directed its attorneys to draft language to amend the articles and the bylaws to give condo owners the right to join the RSF Golf Club, as well as an amendment that would give condo owners both the Golf Club membership

rights and the right to vote. The board (directors Ann Boon, Rochelle Putnam and Heather Slosar did not attend the April 3 meeting) voiced a desire to get this process moving sooner rather than later. The issue had last been discussed in December 2013 with the intention of bringing the matter back before the board in January but, as board member Craig McAllister noted, the directors have been distracted by other issues. The board’s direction could result in language prepared by the May 1 board meeting and, following a hearing, it could potentially

By Karen Billing The Rancho Santa Fe Association is looking for members to serve on a new committee that will tackle the voting registration process. The board members voted on April 3 to post a notice for interested members and directed their counsel to come back to their April 17 meeting with more information on alternative registration possibilities. The board aims to establish the committee at its May 1 meeting. The committee will look at how the Association could possibly automate registration or implement a one-property, one-vote revision of the current one vote per Association member regardless of the number of properties owned. “All of the options to improve the voter registration process are not without complexity, it all has

to be sifted through. A committee has to do a deep dive on this and come with recommendations to the board on how to proceed,” said RSF Association President Philip Wilkinson. Some options include allowing provisional, same-day voting registration or to simplify the bylaws to each property gets a vote, putting the onus on the member to ask for a second ballot if they feel they deserve another. Director Larry Spitcaufsky said that moving forward the board should find out what all of these “deep dives” are costing the Association. He said they are already 100 percent over budget on legal fees for the fiscal year. Counsel was directed to come back with cost estimates. In the meantime, the board See COMMITTEE, Page AA2

ROWE continued from page 1 been something she’s talked about in the past. “I think it will be a great year to try it,” she said. Corduan said with officers already in place in the fall, they can begin the school year off building community and school spirit, planning activities and handling morning announcements. He would also like the council to attend the Disneyland Leadership Conference in September. “It’s just a really great, rigorous morning for those students,” Corduan said of Disneyland’s program. “The modules they attend are pretty outstanding.” With the changes, Corduan will also make student council a year-long enrichment class offered three times a week, making it a more meaningful commitment than its current meetings at lunchtime. Campaigns will begin on May 12 and rather than present speeches in a school-wide assembly, students will record their speeches to be presented to the various classrooms. The candidates’ videos will be presented and then students will vote that day in their classroom. One of the changes Corduan will implement for the 2014-15 school year involves the enrichment

schedule and offerings. Middle schoolers have electives year-long and their enrichment courses change every semester. The enrichment block is an hour in the middle of the day, three times a week. New next year, student council, choir and the Continue Math 180 (math intervention) will be year-long enrichment classes. Dance and foreign language would be moved into trimester enrichment offerings. Dance is currently only offered during PE, but Corduan would like to make it an enrichment course to promote higher participation and build a stronger dance program. For foreign language, Corduan would like to partner with local company Lingua Natal. For about $5,000 a year, Lingua Natal would provide an introductory course with a language teacher; a credentialed teacher from the Rowe staff would monitor the course. Lingua Natal gives the school the option to add another language besides Spanish, chosen by the interest level of students. Enrichment courses would be offered in three categories and students would be required to choose from each category: Science and technology, humanities, and visual and performing arts. Corduan said this method allows students to get a more bal-

cally seventh and eighth graders don’t attend the carnival and only about half of sixth graders do. “It is the camp of all camps,” said Corduan, who attended the Pali Institute with a group of 200 sixth graders last year. “It was an amazing experience, the kids had a wonderful time. The courses they went through were extensive and rigorous, they are constantly learning and working to learn, and I saw the kids create a special bond.” Students stay in cabins and work with highly qualified counselors and teachers in a customized curriculum. For older campers, activities include high ropes courses and a 700-foot zip line. Currently, sixth grade attends Camp Marsten which Corduan said is a good camp but he believes the rigor and connections built between students at the Pali Institute creates a better overall experience. There is a difference in cost: Camp Marsten is $300 a week for parents and Pali would be $470. The camp provides one scholarship per 25 students and the school would have approximately eight to 10 scholarships to assist families. They could also fundraise to support more students. School board member Todd Buchner voiced concerns about the cost and said he thought half of the

anced, well-rounded experience — rather than just selecting courses in one category, for example, enrichment rocketry, dragsters and robotics, they would select from three categories, such as rocketry, ibook authoring and stop motion animation. School board member Tyler Seltzer requested they make sure the offerings are broad, so a student who didn’t like art or couldn’t sing would not be forced to take only choir or art. Corduan said they will create a way to choose, for example, a scienceintegrated path through arts and humanities for students who are more science-minded, as well as creating different levels to the courses so sixth grade rocketry is different than eighth grade rocketry, and students are able to progress over several years if they desire. In the fall, Corduan said he hopes the entire middle school will take part in a camp experience. Corduan would like sixth grade through eighth grade students to attend Pali Institute in Big Bear, a week-long camp that offers learning in outdoor education, science and leadership. Corduan has reserved camp for Oct. 27-31 this fall. The week will conflict with Red Ribbon Week and the Halloween Carnival, although Delaney said typi-

By City News Service The body of a missing Rancho Santa Fe woman was found in a park near State Route 56 early April 3 following her apparent suicide, authorities reported. Susan Bazeley, 61, failed to show up for work Wednesday morning, April 2, sheriff’s Lt. Clayton Lisk said. Her husband reported her missing about 6 p.m., and her car was found later in the evening at Canyonside Community Park in Rancho Penasquitos. Just after midnight, her body was discovered in the park, along with a suicide note, according to San Diego police. Bazeley worked for Tecnadyne Inc., a Rancho Santa Fe engineering firm owned by her husband, according to the company’s website. The company makes parts used in underwater research vessels.

middle school would need help with the fee. Delaney said there would be the option to opt out of camp and school would still be held for those students. This year, 15 students elected not to go to Camp Marsten. While the board agreed that Corduan should reserve the week for sixth grade students, they would look into sending seventh and eighth grade students by surveying those parents in the coming weeks.

CONDO continued from page 1 Too many members is a problem RSF Golf Club Manager Al Castro said he would love to have these days. More clubs have opened around Rancho Santa Fe, which has provided other membership opportunities, club memberships have dipped and nationwide golf play is down. Currently, there are two voting and golf club memberships allowed per condominium development. All condo owners can join the RSF Tennis Club, can use the RSF Golf Club dining facilities and RSF Association trails and open space, but they cannot vote or serve on RSF Association committees. There are 19 condominium developments in the Covenant, totaling 88 units; 38 have voting and Golf Club rights. Of the 38 condo owners who are eligible for Golf Club memberships, 23 have them currently. “That’s a huge take rate, much higher than the going rate for the total community,” Wilkinson said. Based on those numbers, Wilkinson said a conservative estimate is that they could add another 50 members to the RSF Golf Club if membership rights were given to all condos, maybe even more considering the value added to the properties once golf memberships came into play. Castro said that number could be on the low side as he hears from a number of residents looking to downsize, both from people in other parts of the country to Covenant residents wanting to stay in Rancho Santa Fe. During public comment, RSF resident Dick Doughty told the board that its responsibility to its members far outweighs accommodating the Golf Club’s needs. He said increasing condo owners’ rights puts pressure to develop other Covenant sites into condominiums.

He said the Association is about protecting its rural atmosphere, not trying to build another Golf Club community. “We’re about trying to maintain the Ranch and I think that fundamental issue should be given prime consideration and the Golf Club needs to be secondary to that,” Doughty said. There is some potential for future condo units in the Covenant as there are 11 existing multi-family units without a condo map and there are 17 acres currently zoned multifamily that have not been developed on Calzada del Bosque. “I can understand the point about added pressure and that it may create an incentive to put increased density on lots but that process requires Covenant approval, county approval… and they all require public input and are discretionary,” RSF Association Director Jerry Yahr said. “It still has to follow its own process.” Yahr said there are other forces at play too; as they hear that a number of members want to downsize it also puts pressure on future densification of the Ranch. The question also remains whether all condo owners should also be given the right to vote. Wilkinson said fundamentally he feels that if people pay an assessment, they should have the right to vote. “I have never understood why every condo owner doesn’t have the right to join the Golf Club and the right to vote,” said resident Lisa Bartlett, strongly encouraging the board to handle both in one vote, solving both issues in “one fell swoop.” McAllister wasn’t sure if they should both be on the same ballot. “I still think they should be different questions so the [Golf Club issue] doesn’t get swept under the carpet if people don’t approve of (giving condo owners) the [right to] vote,” McAllister said.

R. Roger Rowe students donate new backpacks filled with school supplies to help children in need By Karen Billing R. Roger Rowe School students are performing big acts of kindness through their Kind to the Core community service program. Recently the school was able to raise enough funds to purchase 50 new backpacks filled with school supplies for New Alternatives, a San Diego nonprofit that offers transitional housing and other services to assist foster and probation youth, children who have been victims of abuse, neglect and abandonment. The school’s student council worked to promote the drive among their fellow students and raised money selling hot dogs and through a Jeans for the Cause fundraiser— teachers are not allowed to wear jeans to school but on a special day they could donate $5 to wear denim. Martha Diaz, the community resource specialist for New Alternatives, came to the school last week to collect the donations for the children — they typically have about 150 children in their program and they do visitations in locations throughout San Diego. “We really appreciate the school’s donations,” Diaz said. The new backpacks will be put to use right away. She told a story about how one of their foster youth during a visit hid their beat-up backpack under a table because kids at school teased him about it and he was embarrassed about how it looked. “He still kept it because it was his only reminder of home,” Diaz said. The backpack drive is just one of Kind to the Core’s many service opportunities throughout the year, according to teacher Maureen Cassarino. The club has done a food drive for the San Diego Food Bank and made blankets for animals at Helen Woodward Animal Center. They will also support the Empty Bowls project, an international campaign to fight hunger, and will do a shoe-cutting party on April 24 for Sole Hope, an organization that will use the materials to make closed-toe shoes for children in Africa. Cassarino said the community service programs are a great way for students to learn that giving back should be intrinsic. “We’re teaching them that they should give back because it’s what you should do,” Cassarino. “We should help each other.”

APRIL 10, 2014 - RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW

RSF Association President’s Corner: April 3 RSF Association board meeting highlights BY PHILIP WILKINSON, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT The April 3 RSF Association board meeting highlights are: Your all volunteer board, based on a recommendation from the CDRC, approved the AT&T 4G LTE cellular antenna installation with the parapet screening wall atop the office building at the corner of La Flecha and Via de Santa Fe. The 4G antenna will provide upgraded cellular service throughout the Covenant, according to the predicted coverage map provided by AT&T. This is a muchneeded upgrade. The board also approved the as-built new entryway and landscaping for The Inn at RSF. These improvements are a very nice enhancement and the improvements are consistent with the historical character of The Inn. At the request of the RSF Golf Club Board of Governors, your RSF Association Board of Directors reviewed the Golf Club membership rights for condominium owners in the Covenant. There are 19 condominium developments in the Covenant with 88 total units, and 38 units currently have voting and golf club rights; of which 23 condo residents have golf memberships. That is a 60 percent take rate among those condo owners that are eligible. Given that the Golf Club is looking for ways to increase membership (in a time when membership has been declining), I believe that it is in our best interest to offer the remaining condo owners the right to join the Golf Club. Additionally, I fundamentally believe that a condominium owner or resident that pays Association assessments (HOA dues) deserves to not only have golf membership rights,

Philip Wilkinson but also voting rights. We were informed that this issue has been raised twice in the past several years with prior boards and both times it failed to go forward, but these are different times and the board feels that this is in the best interest of its members. The board agreed to have counsel draft the proper bylaw language for the board to review and to move this initiative forward through the process, which includes member input. The board also re-

quested counsel to research potential opportunities for modifying and simplifying the current Association voter registration process. Counsel opined that our current process is legal and then presented three options for modifying the current complex voter registration process. The board directed staff to post a notice to create an ad hoc committee of members and board representatives to review the current voter registration process and make recommendations to the board. The committee will be established at our May 1 meeting. Meanwhile, the board asked staff to send a second mailer with voter registration forms to all members not yet registered to vote to encourage them to come into the Association office and register. The good news is that 150 new voter registrations have been processed by Associa-

tion staff in the month of March. On a different topic, I, like many members, received a UPS package at my home last Saturday from a group that spent purportedly thousands of dollars to communicate with RSF Association members to vote “no” on the upcoming ballot for the RSF Garden Club purchase. Every member will decide on their own how to vote on this issue, but the one thing I believe is very important to understand is that a “yes” vote on the Garden Club purchase does not mean a “no” vote for a possible future pool and fitness facility that is currently under review. I believe most directors, like me, want to see a pool and fitness facility come to fruition. As it relates to the Garden Club vote, I encourage each of you to review the information available on the official Ranch Santa Fe Association web site (thecovenantofrsf.org) and make your own decision. The funds needed to purchase the Garden Club building would come out of the Community Enhancement Fund and those funds would be replenished in less than three years at the current funding rate. I estimate that it would take at least two and half years before the first shovel goes into to the ground to build the pool and fitness facility and at the current $6-8 million cost estimates to build the facility there should be sufficient funds for this project in the near future. I think both the RSF Garden Club and the pool and fitness facility would be terrific assets for our community. Remember, there is only one official Association website so don’t be fooled by the unofficial look-a-like that has been posted! Our official Rancho Santa Fe Association website is thecovenantofrsf.org.

fee. Hellmers bought one entry. Previously, Hellmers finished second in back-toback Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenges in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, he finished second in a handicapping contest at Keeneland. “I’m supremely grateful and cannot thank every person enough who has helped me master my intuition as a man, and as a wagering Jedi, including my close family and friends, as well as Yoda,” Hellmers said in a text. “The other reason I’m successful is because I learned the hard way by losing and challenging myself to be my best, betting fearlessly out of a deep rooted belief in myself and in something bigger above,” said Hellmers, who acknowledged he spent five hours each night handicapping.

The website, rsfregister.com, includes dates of upcoming votes as well as voter registration forms that can be downloaded. Holler said the Association would contact the website runner to include a more visible disclaimer that the site is not run by the Association. Another website, ranchosantafeassociation.com and its accompanying Facebook page, is also not run by the RSF Association.

‘Dancing With the Stars’ contestant latest in string of La Jolla Playhouse performers to hit big By Rob LeDonne The current season of “Dancing with the Stars,” one of television’s most popular shows, features a who’s who of recognizable faces. There’s “Price is Right” host Drew Carey, NHL superstar Sean Avery, and legendary actor Billy Dee Williams — just to name a few. In addition, there’s also one of San Diego’s very own: James Maslow, the actor/singer who rose to fame as part of Nickelodean’s Big Time Rush boy band. Maslow, who attended Torrey Pines Elementary School, Muirlands Middle School, and San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, first stretched his acting muscle in the San Diego area and was active in local arts, including at the La Jolla Playhouse. “I remember when he first auditioned for our conservatory program when he was about 17,” said Steve McCormick, the Education & Outreach Director for the Playhouse. “The conservatory program is for the more advanced students, and I remember him being incredibly generous and comfortable. Some people come in and have an attitude, but not James. He gave a very relaxed audition.” The team at the Playhouse, including McCormick, saw something special in Maslow and he was admitted into its summer program. “You have to have that certain spark to achieve greatness or fame, you can’t teach it,” notes McCormick. “In most cases, as an educator you can only perceive it and tease it out. James always felt like he knew his path, and he was always eager to learn. He asked a lot of questions and was forward thinking. We just enjoyed being around him.” A year later, Maslow sent his audition tape to Nickelodeon and was later cast as the character of James Diamond, who’s referred in press materials as “the handsome one” of the group. “He always knew what he wanted to do, and went down every avenue to pursue it,” said McCormick of Mal-

sow, who landed his first agent at age 14. “He’s always had that drive to be a leader, and had confidence in himself as well — in the best way. When I heard he made it to Nickelodeon, it just made sense.” Maslow’s partner on “Dancing with the Stars” is Peta Murgatroyd, and in the first few episodes he’s won high praise from the judges and viewers alike. He’s also not shy to remember his roots on the show: his official biography on the ABC website mentions the Playhouse (as well as his time studying at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts), and in a recent episode he talked about his time growing up in San Diego. Aside from Maslow’s current notoriety on “Dancing With The Stars,” the La Jolla Playhouse is no strangers to seeing locally trained talent explode on a national level. Sutton Foster, who appeared in the Playhouse’s production of “Thoroughly Modern Millie” after its original lead actress dropped out, later went on to win a Tony Award for the role and is now the darling of Broadway. Nikki M. James, who played “Dorothy” in La Jolla’s revival of “The Wiz,” later starred in Broadway’s “Book of Morman” and won her own Tony for the role in 2009. Christopher Douglas Reed, a native of Clairemont and a Playhouse conservatory alum who appeared in its production of “Tobacco Road,” currently stars on the hit FX series “Sons of Anarchy” and has also appeared on Disney’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” and HBO’s “Eastbound and Down” — just to name a few. Overall, McCormick (who’s been working at the Playhouse for about a decade) is no stranger to seeing La Jolla Playhouse alum on television and in the movies. “It happens all the time,” he explains. “Even if it’s a small role. However, I’m not surprised James is as big as he is now.” “Dancing with the Stars” airs Monday nights on ABC (www.abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars).

By Kristina Houck In recognition of his service in the community, Rancho Santa Fe resident Jeffrey Silberman will be presented with the Carl M. Esenoff Memorial Award by Congregation Beth Israel May 17 at the San Diego synagogue. Established by Beth Israel’s board in 1987, the award recognizes individuals devoted to serving the congregation and the greater community. Silberman, 56, is actively involved at Beth Israel and several organizations throughout San Diego County. “I was taken by surprise,” said Silberman, who has lived in Rancho Santa Fe since 1984. He noted his in-laws and mentor previously received the award. “It’s very humbling and gratifying.” A third-generation member of Beth Israel, Silberman joined the synagogue’s board when he was in his mid-20s, eventually becoming the president. Currently, he serves as co-chair of Beth Israel’s $20 million endowment campaign. In addition to his work at Beth Israel, Silberman serves as board chair of the Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego, as well as board member and executive committee member of the Jewish Federation of San Diego County. “My philanthropic life is based on how I was raised, the values of our faith and the importance of giving back,” Silberman said. “I’ve always believed that everyone, no matter their station in life, can give of their time, talent and treasury in some fashion.” Silberman has served as president and CEO of Carleton Management, his family’s San Diego-based real es-

and is currently co-chair of the endowment campaign for the preschool through 12th grade preparatory school. “I enjoy helping those in need and the less fortunate,” said Silberman, a husband and father of four children. “I enjoy interacting with like-minded

people, both volunteers as well as professionals in the philanthropic community. “I hope the small contributions I’ve made will inspire others to give of their time, talent and treasure. If this motivates others, I will feel very good about being a recipient of this award.” The award gala begins

at 5:30 p.m. May 17 at A5 Beth Israel, located at 9001 Towne Centre Drive in San Diego. For more information, visit www.cbisd.org/ calendar/special-events/ eventdetail/1142/-/esenoffaward-gala-honoring-jeffsilberman.

Piano prodigy to perform in RSF April 27 Umi Garrett was 8 years old when she appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show in May 2009. DeGeneres’ enthusiastic comment was “She is going to be very well known.” Since then, Umi has skyrocketed to superstardom. She is as charming as she is talented. Audiences from Australia to Germany, Japan to Latvia have thrilled to the performances of this young artist. She was proclaimed a “wunderkind” when featured on live Luxembourg television during her captivating European tour in 2009. More recent performances include appearances with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops and an invitation to perform at Carnegie (Weill) Hall. Umi, now age 13, has garnered first prizes in numerous international competitions in Osaka, Budapest, Hungary and New York, including the Grand Prize winner (highest award given) at the International Chopin Competition in Connecticut. Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe will present Umi Garrett in concert at the R. Roger Rowe School’s Performing Arts Center at Rancho Santa Fe on Sunday, April 27, at 3 p.m. The concert will be a special highlight and an added fifth concert to CCRSF’s normal season of four eclectic programs given from fall to spring each year. Light refreshments will be served at intermission, including a selection of Yummy Cupcakes, from the local Encinitas bakery. Community Concert donors are invited to a reception with Umi following the concert at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club.

Frederick Schenk just as well protected and in such splendid condition as when I took responsibility for its well-being. Is there anything you wish people knew about the fairgrounds and/or the fair board that they don’t seem to know or understand? The Fairgrounds and the San Diego County Fair belongs to the people of San Diego County. It is a wonderful facility that has a positive yearly economic impact on the region of over $475 million and creates thousands of jobs and business opportunities. The board members are all volunteers — many of whom donate hundreds of hours annually to the success of this San Diego Jewel! This summer, the theme for the 2014 fair is “The Fab Fair.” We will be remembering the British Invasion and paying particular tribute to the Beatles and the impact that they and others had on our culture ever since they came to the United States in 1964. We expect those who attend will enjoy entertainment, fair food, modern agriculture and educational programs which will fascinate and inspire the more than 1.5 million people who will once again start their summer season at the San Diego County Fair.

Late last year, attorney Frederick Schenk — a partner with San Diego-based plaintiffs’ law firm CaseyGerry – was elected by the Board of Directors, 22nd District Agricultural Association (San Diego County Fair Board), to serve as its president. Schenk, a local resident, was previously vice president of the Board of Directors, and now serves as president for two years. He has a long-time association with the San Diego County Fair Board, and had been appointed previously to serve on the board by former Governor Gray Davis, serving from 2002 to 2006, and was also vice president of the board in 2006. With San Diego County Fair season in Del Mar around the corner, he discusses priorities for the fairgrounds – and why this property is such a vital resource for the San Diego community. What are currently the top priority projects for the fairgrounds? The most immediate priorities: Preparing for the Del Mar National Horse Show (April 17 - May 4) and the annual San Diego County Fair (June 7 – July 6). Then begins the start of the summer horse racing season (July 17– Sept. 3). Completely new this year is a fall horse racing season (Nov. 7 – Nov. 30). Also important are capital improvement projects, including refurbishing and widening the turf course – a $5 million project which is scheduled to be completed within the next month, as well as replacing the synthetic track with dirt, another $5 million project which begins immediately following the conclusion of the fall horse races. Additionally, there are ongoing environmental and sewer improvements ($7 million between now and 2018) to the backstretch/stable area and the $5 million conversion of the South Overflow Lot to a wetland, to be completed after the conclusion of the 2015 summer horse race meet. In addition, the 22nd District Agricultural Association (DAA) is considering opening a craft brewery in a portion of the existing satellite wagering facility at Surfside Race Place. How would those projects be funded? We are a self-funded state entity. Funding takes place in a number of ways. Through the Race Track Authority (RTA) -- any monies left over after paying bond debt are applied to capital projects. RTA revenue consists of all live race meet net revenue, all net Satellite Wagering Revenue and $2 million in food and beverage revenue. We could refinance our existing debt, and currently have $26 million remaining on tax-exempt bonds, or dip into DAA cash reserves, currently about $8 million. It should be noted that DAA cash reserves are replenished $2-3 million annually. What are the most difficult issues facing the fair board right now? Some difficult issues on the horizon: obtaining the funding needed for capital projects (including new exhibit halls), keeping horse racing healthy and relevant going forward, and attracting and keeping talented people within an antiquated state personnel system. What are your goals as a fair board president? My goals are to be a strong steward of one of the most important and uniquely located pieces of property owned by the State of California. The fairgrounds have been serving the residents of San Diego County for over 75 years. I want to be certain that I leave it to those who follow me

San Diego County Library Director to speak at Rancho Santa Fe Library Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Meeting By Kristina Houck Since he was appointed director of the San Diego County Library system in 2005, JosĂŠ Aponte has proved community libraries are not only still relevant, but necessary. In a time when libraries across the country closed their doors, San Diego County opened new doors. While other libraries cut hours, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s libraries increased hours of operation. Aponte is set to speak about the role of libraries in the community and how that role might change in the future during the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Meeting on April 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did it in the height of what is now called the Great Recession,â&#x20AC;? said Aponte, who has directed library systems in California, Colorado and Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did it when libraries were closing doors. We did it when libraries were cutting back hours. We added hours, services and a footprint.â&#x20AC;? The San Diego County Library system includes 33 libraries, two bookmobiles and a literacy program. Circulation has increased from 4 million in Aponteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year to 11.3 million, including 3.2 million childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books, in the last fiscal year. The success of the San Diego County Library system has not gone unnoticed. In 2012, the system earned the Gale Library Journal â&#x20AC;&#x153;2012 Library of the Year Awardâ&#x20AC;? for its achievements in the face of budgetary cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just really busy,â&#x20AC;? he said. Aponte credits much of the library systemsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success to its programs and services. The community builds each library so every branch offers the programs that community needs, he said. More than 530,000 people attended the nearly 25,000

ning community, we have members of the community on the funding community, we have members of the community on the building community. When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building the library, the community is part of it. When we do the opening, the community is part of it. â&#x20AC;Ś It takes a little longer, but in all, it has proven to be quite successful.â&#x20AC;?

By Kristina Houck Although he currently lives in New York, worldrenowned violinist David Chan grew up locally. The Juilliard-trained musician is set to return to North San Diego County for a concert April 19 at the Encinitas Library. “[This area] was always home,” said Chan, whose parents still live here. “It’s always good to come back.” Chan is concertmaster of Metropolitan Opera’s orchestra, which he first joined in 1998. He also serves as a faculty member at Juilliard, his alma mater. Born in San Diego, Chan began playing the violin at the age of 3. His parents encouraged him to learn the instrument after they watched a demonstration for a Suzuki violin program at his preschool. “They thought it

Violinist David Chan Courtesy photo would be good for me to do it,” Chan said. “Nobody had any idea at that point what it would lead to.” At 14, Chan won San Diego Symphony’s Young Artists Concerto Competition and subsequently appeared with the orchestra in two concert series. He became the

featured soloist on the orchestra’s international tour later that same year. At 17, Chan gained international recognition when he received the top prize at the Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow. After graduating from La Jolla Country Day School, Chan went on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and his master’s from Juilliard. He made his Carnegie Hall debut during the 200203 concert season. “We recognize that we’re very lucky to have the life we have, having reached the level that we have in music,” said Chan, who is married to Catherine Ro, also a violinist in the MET orchestra. They have three children. “It’s a very blessed life with a lot of opportunities to experience a lot of things that most people don’t get to.” Chan has performed around the world as a soloist and with a variety of orchestras, including Aspen Chamber Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Moscow State Symphony and Taiwan National Symphony, among others. Still, he always looks forward to returning to San Diego — this time to perform in the second concert of “Virtuoso,” a new concert series founded by Rancho Santa Fe resident and violinist

Michael Tseitlin. “To truly communicate as a performer you have to give of yourself,” Chan said. “That’s a special quality that I understand my friends in other fields who are good at what they do and are dedicated to their job — they don’t necessary always get an opportunity to do that. Every time I touch the bow to the string, it’s an opportunity to do that.” This will be the first time Chan has performed in the region since he participated in La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest last August. In addition to Chan, the concert will feature cellist Sergey Antonov and pianist Bernadene Blaha. “It’s a fantastically varied and interesting program,” Chan said. “The audience will get to hear a variety of different combinations and different styles of music. I’m hoping the audience will find it stimulating, varied and exciting.” The concert will begin at 7 p.m. April 19 at the Encinitas Library, located at 540 Cornish Drive in Encinitas. Tickets cost $25 for general admission and $21 for students and seniors. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit virtuosiusa.org.

Wife/author to share her caregiver experience at local event By Ashley Mackin Writer and part-time local resident Susan Allen Toth asserts that grief and loss are part of everyone’s life, and if you’re lucky, so are love and joy. Toth experienced all this and more during her years caring for her husband, architect James Stageberg, through the end of his life. She documents their day-to-day trials in a new book, “No Saints Around Here: A Caregiver’s Days.” She will read from “No Saints Around Here” 11 a.m. Saturday, April 12, at the La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave., La Jolla. “This is supposed to be a gift to other caregivers, because it was a gift for me to be able to write about it,” Toth said. “This is not a how-to, this is a how it was for me.” Her husband passed away in 2010, a decade after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and later dementia. “In the last 18 months, when I knew I was looking down the dark tunnel, to help myself I turned to occasionally writing about topics I was coming across,” she explained. The essay chapters in the book are dated. “It’s the book I wanted to have after everyone gave me books like ‘how caregiving made me a better person’ and I’d be thinking, ‘this is not what being a caregiver is about.” Instead, Toth said being a caregiver is about love. “I don’t know how people do this if they don’t really love the person,” she said. Of caring for her late husband, she added, “I would do this again in a heartbeat, but I’m glad I don’t have to.” A contagious grin comes across Toth’s face when she talks about James’ “irresistible” smile, which shines back at her from a photo on her bedside. “James was a wonderful man, but it is not his book,” she said. “It’s about me being cross, frustrated, angry, depressed, getting on with things and finding ways to get on with it.” Sometimes that included slamming dishes down in the kitchen in frustration when James wouldn’t eat what she made, and feeling incredibly guilty about it and going to therapy to find ways to manage the feelings. “This is not meant to be a humorous book, but there is dark humor in it,” she said. Chapters include “My adventures with gentlemen’s pads,” which chronicles the realization deep in his illness that James could not make it to the bathroom in time and needed adult diapers. “But we weren’t going to call them that. We were going to call them ‘gentleman’s pads,’ ” she reminisced. “This is a chapter on my discovery of the whole world of gentlemen’s pads.” Her understanding of “gentleman’s pads” and other facets of caring for a loved one was what made a speaking engagement with Toth appealing to La Jolla Library head librarian Catherine Greene. “With all the baby boomers around who will potentially have some degree of difficulty as they get older, there’s a lot of concern out there with how this older generation will be taken care of and the responsibilities of their adult children,” Greene said. “Susan has insight on that. After talking to her, I saw that and realized she’s worth listening to. She has something to say.” Toth is a longtime travel writer, including work for The New York Times. She and James traveled the world during their 25-year marriage, though they called Minnesota home. Doing their best to avoid Minnesota winters, they often visited Australia and New Zealand. However,

Susan Allen Toth

the last vacation they took together was to La Jolla due to James’ limitations. “I discovered La Jolla and never looked back,” Toth said. “I decided when everything was over, I would move here.” Toth has penned nine books, mostly about travel. She said she always orients her work as a “gift” to someone, such as when she wrote stories about growing up in the Midwest or travel pieces about accommodations off the beaten path. The gift within “No Saints Around Here,” she said is, “encouragement, support and relief. I want someone to read it and think ‘oh, good she felt that way, too’ and get some possible ideas of what to do. I want people to know what goes with this because none of us are saints.” Toth’s book is available at Amazon.com

Horizon Prep Spring Gala

rom a puppy to pastries, from lavish trips to classroom projects lavished with love, it was up for bid at Horizon Prep’s recent Spring Gala, and it looks like it’s paying off! The Spring Fundraiser, with the theme REJOICE!, is shaping up to be a record setter! “We are still finalizing numbers,” says Horizon Prep Development Director Lani Curtis, “but we are on track to gross over $200,000!” Curtis says the event’s success is not only a testament to the hard work of everyone involved, but also demonstrates the excitement and support for the growth of Horizon Prep. Proceeds from the evening’s event go towards Horizon Prep’s “Time to Believe” Capital Campaign, which is raising funds to continue the construction of the school campus and begin development of new state-of-the-art athletic facilities.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion After many years of service it is time for a lifestyle change San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update Superintendent Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through our local media with a monthly update. Topics covered will include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on the new Next Generation Science Standards and celebrating our 2014 Employees of the Year. Next Generation Science Standards The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) have been developed based on the National Research Council’s Framework for K-12 Science Education and in close alignment with the Common Core State Standards. NGSS includes three dimensions: (1) Science and Engineering Practices, (2) Crosscutting Concepts, and (3) Disciplinary Core Ideas. As compared to current California Content Standards for Science, NGSS includes much more integration with mathematics and engineering, much more connection between science disciplines, and a greater emphasis on depth over breadth within science disciplines. NGSS is similar to Common Core State Standards in that (a) it is a set of standards, not a prescribed curriculum; (b) it emphasizes depth and application over breadth and coverage; (c) standards build coherently from kindergarten to 12th grade; (d) literacy and communication integrate directly into course content; (e) they are designed to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship. California officially adopted NGSS as the state science standards in September of 2013. The California Department of Education has planned a three-stage phase-in. The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) will take a gradual and multi-year approach toward implementation: •2014-15: Awareness & Staff Training •2015-16: Transition & Staff Training •2016-17: Implementation While NGSS recommends integrated science classes (instead of disciplinary classes) for grades K through 8, California has established two pathways for middle school science classes. One pathway would approach middle school science in an integrated manner with standards relating to Life Science and Physical Science being taught together in an integrated fashion over a two-year sequence (7th & 8th grade). The second pathway would continue to teach middle school science standards in

two separate stand-alone courses (7th grade Life Science and 8th grade Physical Science). During the 2014-15 school year, SDUHSD Science teachers and curricular leaders will study both pathways and will choose which to pursue moving forward. The Rick Schmitt new standards do not call for or recommend that high school science course pathways change. As with our transition to the Common Core State Standards, SDUHSD will take a slow and measured approach to implementing NGSS. We will emphasize ongoing professional development for teachers and we will develop and adopt high-quality textbooks (digital and/or traditional) and other instructional materials aligned with NGSS. In the coming year we will conduct a number of public meetings at our schools and in conjunction with our feeder elementary districts to inform our students and families about the changes inherent to NGSS. For more information, visit www. nextgenscience.org; CDE page: www.cde. ca.gov/pd/ca/sc/ngssintrod.asp Teacher of the Year Scott Huntley, History and Culinary Arts teacher at San Dieguito High School Academy (SDHSA) is our 2013-14 District Teacher of the Year. Scott teaches both AP World History and Culinary Arts. He began his career in our district in fall of 2007. First and foremost, Scott is an exceptional classroom teacher in both the AP World History and Culinary Arts classrooms. His students have one of the highest AP World History test pass rates (over 85 percent) which are among the most difficult of AP tests due to the breadth of the content assessed. In 2008, Scott created the Culinary Arts program at SDHSA with one course. By 2011 over 800 of the 1500 students at SDHSA requested Culinary Arts as one of their electives and Scott was teaching both introductory and advanced courses. In just a few short years, Scott created what is likely the single most popular elective program in the entire district. The Culinary Arts program draws both university-bound AP students as well as students looking to gain ROP certification to work in the culinary industry. The success Scott has achieved in both See UPDATE, page B30

In January, after my annual medical checkup revealed growing concerns about my high blood pressure, I began to wonder if I should continue in public office, given the stresses of the several positions I hold. Since January I have been inquiring of good friends in the community, including Jack Queen and Roxana Foxx, as to whether they might run for my position on the Santa Fe Irrigation District Board this fall. After some recent medical tests, my doctors put me on a care regime that convinced me it isn’t worth seeking another four-year term on the Irrigation District Board and the County’s Local Agency Formation Commission, which oversees the operations of all cities and special districts in the county. Therefore, to open up the field for candidates willing to be elected to succeed me, I have decided after 12 years of service on the Irrigation District Board and nine years on LAFCO that I will not seek re-election in November. It’s ironic because my political opponents criticize me for working too hard, attending too many meetings, and collecting too many per diem fees for meeting attendance. I’m beginning to agree. I pay $10,000 a year for golf and tennis memberships and haven’t once played golf or tennis! So, it’s time for a lifestyle change. John S. Ingalls Rancho Santa Fe

RSF Covenant member: Are you registered to vote? If you own real property in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant and you have not received a mail ballot to vote on the Garden Club property purchase issue when you read this, you are not registered to vote on the RSF Garden Club issue nor for any other election or Association issues. In order to vote on the upcoming election for directors in May 2014, you must register with the RSF Association by April 25, 2014. Once you are registered, you remain registered until you transfer title or change the manner in which you hold title. In the latter event, you would need to reregister. To register to vote, you can do one of the following: 1) Go to the RSF Association office in the village (next door to the RSF Library) during business hours and sign the appropriate forms. Note: the form you sign will depend on how you acquired title (e.g., individual, joint, trust, partnership, or corporate). If you hold title by way of a family or marital trust, you need to have the precise name of that trust with you so that the registry matches how title is held to the parcel number on the County Assessor’s records. Or 2) Go to the RSF Association website: www.rsfassociation.org Click first on the Voter Handbook and read the rather detailed, if not complicated, instructions as to how to fill out a downloaded and printed form which applies to the manner in which you hold title. Then click on the Voter Registration Form, select the appropriate form, download and print out same. Fill out the form, sign it, and mail it to RSF Association, P.O. Box A, RSF, CA 92067. If you are one who must have a signature notarized, you will probably find it easier to simply go the RSF Association office and complete the process there. Or 3) Email your completed and signed Voter Registration Form to: jill@rsfassociation.org or Nadine@rsfassociation.org Good luck and remember to vote when you finally get your ballot in the mail.

Because the voting block represented a small fraction of RSFA members, the broader community petitioned for a re-vote. The goal in sharing the facts below is to encourage further evaluation and due diligence in order to help our community make an informed decision in a real estate investment that will impact residents for decades to come.

The Club Is in Decline but Not Broke We support the Garden Club and hope they continue on for another 100+ years but we are NOT in favor of purchasing their substandard and encumbered building. IRS ĀĬĜĹčŸ ŸĘŅƵ : ųåƴåĹƚåŸ ±ųå ÚŅƵĹ üųŅĵ $350K in 2011 to $200K last year, but they do have $477K in cash reserves and a combined $300K surplus for the last 3 years. The GC doesn’t have to sell the building to remain a viable organization.

Let's Not Repeat Past Mistakes In 2006, the RSFA purchased the Osuna Ranch for $11.9 million, in what is now recognized as a vast over-payment. Most residents don't even know where this property is or understand why it was purchased.

The Building Purchase is the Equivalent of a $1,000/ HH Assessment Would you write a check for $1,000 and contribute a portion of your annual RSFA dues to acquire and maintain the GC building or would you rather look at all of the facts, evaluate our options and invest in projects that enhance property values and improve quality of life?

Other Investments Would Better Enhance Our Property Values {ŅŅĬŸ ±ĹÚ ĀƋĹåŸŸ ÏåĹƋåųŸ ƚĹÚĜŸŞƚƋåÚly add value to a community and increase property values. Buying the GC building would claim nearly half of our investment capital ($6M today) and Ƌ±ĩå ƋĘå ŞŅŸŸĜÆĜĬĜƋƼ üŅų ± 8 ŞŅŅĬxĀƋĹåŸŸ ÏåĹƋåų ±ĹÚ ŅƋĘåų ŸĜčĹĜĀÏ±ĹƋ ÏŅĵĵƚĹĜƋƼ åĹĘ±ĹÏåĵåĹƋ ÏŅĹŸĜÚåų±ƋĜŅĹŸ Ņý the table for many years.

Paid for by Residents for an Open Covenant

Deciding Our Future. Together! The fact is, a small number of RSFA residents want to buy the GC building and many oppose the purchase. What matters most is that we all consider the best way to invest in our community and ƵĘ±Ƌ ĵ±Ƽ Æå Ÿ±ÏųĜĀÏåÚ ƵĜƋĘ ƋĘĜŸ Ƌų±ĹŸ±Ïtion.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife seeks applicants for Natural Resources Volunteer Program â&#x20AC;˘Training academy to start in May By Joe Tash Andria Guzman looked out the window into her back yard, and saw a 40-pound cat on her lawn. The Oceanside woman walked outside and tried to shoo the animal away, shouting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Git!â&#x20AC;? several times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looked at me like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who do you think you are?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Guzman said as she described the incident to a pair of state wildlife volunteers. Eventually, the animal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most likely a bobcat, according to the volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; jumped over the short fence at the back of Guzmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard and perched on a large stump before wandering away. The house call on a recent afternoon was all in a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work for Bob Gaskin and James Drost, members of the Natural Resources Volunteer Program, which comes under the auspices of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. State officials describe the volunteers as the eyes and ears of state wildlife biologists and game wardens, assisting with a variety of tasks and providing valuable work hours in an era of tight government budgets. The department wants to expand the program in San Diego, and is seeking applicants for an upcoming weeklong training academy that will start in May. Along with assisting Fish and Wildlife employees, the volunteers act as â&#x20AC;&#x153;conservation coaches,â&#x20AC;? whose mission is to educate the public on how humans can safely co-exist with their animal neighbors, said Lt. Kent Smirl, who founded the volunteer program in San Diego in 2002. Since then, it has expanded to nine chapters across the state. About 20 volunteers are active in San Diego County, which will increase after the upcoming training academy. Volunteers are expected to put in at least 24 hours per month, and also pay for their own uniforms, at a cost of $250 to $300. Gaskin, 60, an Olivenhain resident, works part-time in the biotechnology field, and has been with a wildlife volunteer for the past six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I always wanted to do, giving back to the community,â&#x20AC;? he said. Drost, 76, is retired from the U.S. Navy, and lives in Clairemont. A fisherman and hunter, Drost said he enjoys meeting people and educating the public on wildlife and conservation issues. Volunteers perform such tasks as fielding phone calls, delivering documents to court, patrolling nature preserves and assisting with conservation projects. Recently at the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad, volunteers

Wildlife volunteers James Drost, left, and Bob Gaskin, examine the area where a bobat was seen in the yard of Oceanside resident Andria Guzman. cleared away brush and weeds to aid nesting by California least terns and Western snowy plovers, two endangered species. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have dedicated people interested in helping the department,â&#x20AC;? said Warren Wong, a wildlife biologist with Fish and Wildlife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really helped us a lot.â&#x20AC;? The volunteers wear white dress shirts or polo shirts, depending on their tasks that day, green baseball caps, dark green pants, volunteer badges and photo ID cards. While they can offer advice and information, they are not authorized to write citations or confront members of the public in any way. They are not even allowed to ask people to show their fishing licenses. But their presence in vehicles clearly marked with their volunteer status probably does deter some illegal activity, the volunteers said. Some 90 percent of the calls received by the state wildlife office in San Diego are about coyotes, said Drost, but the office also receives calls about bobcats and mountain lions. Volunteers sift through the calls each day, and decide which ones warrant a home visit. Based on the information they receive from residents, they also determine whether the call should be referred to game wardens. In the case of Guzman, the Oceanside resident, the volunteers were shown photos of the four-legged visitor that Guzman had captured on their cell phone. The pair advised Guzman to keep her two small children inside for the time being, and suggested ways of trying to scare off the intruder, such as making loud noises or using a large childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water gun to douse the animal with a mixture of water and household ammonia. If the cat did show up when she was outside with her children, they said, she should not bend over to pick up the toddlers or turn her back and run with the kids, because the cat could then perceive the family as prey.

the cat,â&#x20AC;? Drost said.) Instead, she should put herself between the animal and the children, stand upright, extend her arms and make a lot of noise, while backing toward the house and keeping the children behind her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You raise the biggest stink in the world,â&#x20AC;? Drost said. The volunteer program has provided a big boost statewide for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, said Smirl. According to the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012-13 annual report, in the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern district, which includes San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, volunteers logged 17,000 hours with a value of $421,000. Statewide, the totals were 43,000 hours worth just over $1 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a lot of committed people. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very proud of them,â&#x20AC;? Smirl said. Anyone interested in applying for the volunteer program should log onto www.dfg.ca.gov/volunteer/nrvp, said Smirl. But before filling out the online application, he urged them to call him at 714448-4215 to learn more about the program and its requirements. They can also email him at kent. s m i r l @ w i l l d l i f e . c a . g o v. Those with wildlife-related questions or concerns can call the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Diego office at 858467-4257.

RSF-based foundation aims to improve the quality of life for Maya families in Guatemala By Kristina Houck One hour. That’s all the time it takes for the Maya Relief Foundation to improve the quality of life for Maya families in Guatemala. The Rancho Santa Fe-based nonprofit organization provides stoves and water filters to indigenous families in the highlands of the Central American country’s rural Alta Verapaz. “In one hour, we go into their home and their lives are changed forever,” said Rancho Santa Fe resident Randie Reinhart, who launched the foundation with her husband, Leon Reinhart, in 2002. “You see it with your own eyes.” After living abroad in mostly developing countries for 30 years, the Reinharts relocated to San Diego in 1996. About 12 years ago, the family established the Reinhart Family Foundation, later renamed the Maya Relief Foundation, to improve the health and well being of the Maya people by providing them with fuel-efficient stoves and portable water filters. Maya women cook food with fires built on a wooden pallet called a polleton. Because the open cooking fires are inside the home, families breathe in toxic fumes, which cause eye irritations and respirato-

ry problems. In addition to the health benefits of the foundation’s Eko-Stoves, the woodburning stoves use 70 percent less firewood, which saves families money and time. “The women catch on immediately that this is a blessing beyond a blessing to them,” said Reinhart. “With that, they’re up and going. They become selfsufficient.” In addition to the stove and water filter, which are both made in Guatemala, the foundation helps every family organize their home and plant their own garden. The foundation also supplies women with multi-nutritional prenatal vitamins donated by the Kirk Humanitarian Foundation. Lastly, the foundation hires local social workers to help families maintain their new equipment for a year. “Our program helps them at the core of what they need the most,” Reinhart said. “From there, they can organize themselves and do so much more. Now they get three to five days back from not having to go get wood or earn the money to pay for the wood. It’s so empowering to them.”

The Maya Relief Foundation provides stoves and water filters to indigenous families in Guatemala.

Maya Relief Foundation is hosting its inaugural fashion show and silent auction April 26 to raise money to purchase the stoves and water filters. FLOW begins at 5:30 p.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center, located at 5970 La Sendita. Standing room tickets are $35 and cover the cost of one water filter. General seating tickets are $70 and cover the cost of two water filters. VIP front row seating is $110 and covers the cost of a stove. “We’re trying to do one thing and do it well — create a model that can be used throughout the world,” Reinhart said. “A family’s life is changed forever if we can get these into their homes.” For more information about the Maya Relief Foundation, visit www. mayarelief.com.

Looking for support anywhere he can find it, Ortiz discovers an Internet chat room. There he finds four others who also need support to face their own demons. It’s not long before Elliot’s real world intersects with his virtual world in unforeseen ways. As a director, actor and producer, Torres is certainly qualified to direct this work. He is co-founder and was Artistic Director of Teatro Vista Theatre in Chicago. He directed the world premiere of Kristoffer Diaz’s “The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity,” which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Torres was the recipient of a 2010 3Arts Art-

ist Award and was featured as guest director at the 2011 Eugene O’Neill Theater Center National Playwrights Conference, where he’s served on their artistic council since 2014. He had an acting role in Hudes’ “Elliot, A Soldier’s Fugue,” a role that Torres can relate to this play. “I played Elliott’s father in that play,” Torres said. “Since it was also about war and returning home, the back story of the effects to those who have been to war, lead into this play. Elliott (Rey Lucas) in this play is a very charming individual who is connected to his family, especially his sister Yazmin (Sarah Nina Hayon), and his mother Odessa Ortiz (Marilyn Torres). Torres said of the cast (with very impressive resumes) is great. Auditions were held in Los Angles, New York and Chicago. “It was important to cast close to each character and the story line,” Torres said. “We’re about storytelling and creatively conveying it to the audience, making sure the words of the play are distinct and clear. I hope those who see ‘Water by the Spoonful’ get a clear understanding of what recovery and addiction is about, and that it’s always good to expand one’s horizons culturally.”• – “Water by the Spoonful” runs through May 11 at Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

Each has earned raving reviews, released CDs as a soloist and collaborative artist, and has separate professional careers. Two members of the trio, Wanchi Huang and Robert Koenig, had known one another during their student years at the Curtis Institute of Music, and thought it would be fun to collaborate together in a new dynamic trio, this time with Jacob Braun.

By Diana Saenger The California premiere of “Water by the Spoonful,” Quiara Alegría Hudes’ winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, opens at the Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre April 12. Directing the play is Edward Torres, who recently directed the world premiere of Quiara Alegría Hudes’ “The Happiest Song Plays Last.” “Water by the Spoonful,” is the second play in Hudes’ Elliot Cycle, three stand-alone plays written over an eight-year period. Each uses different music types – Bach, Coltrane, and Puerto Rican folk music – to trace the coming of age of a bright, but haunted, young Puerto Rican man. The final play, “The Happiest Song Plays Last,” opened Off Broadway in February 2014. “I absolutely love Hudes’ writing.” Torres said. “I think ‘Water by the Spoonful,’ is a wonderful play about recovery, redemption and the human connection.” Hudes’ work includes a vast catalog of noted work. She wrote the book for the Broadway musical “In the Heights,” which received the 2008 Tony Award for Best Musical, a Tony nomination for Best Book of a Musical, was a 2009 Pulitzer Prize finalist and garnered Hudes other awards. Hudes has a B.A. in Music from Yale University and an M.F.A. in playwriting from Brown University. “Water by the Spoonful” is an open page to current events. Soldier Elliot Ortiz is home from a tour in Iraq. Now he must reconnect with this family and begin a new

Give me liberty or give me lunch at colonial Green Dragon Tavern BY KELLEY CARLSON restaurant with a rather revolutionary concept recently opened in Carlsbad. The Green Dragon Tavern & Museum pays homage to the nation’s colonial days, from the architecture and décor (which includes historical documents on display) to the East Coastinspired cuisine. “The original Green Dragon Tavern in Boston was a gathering space for historical figures, including John Hancock and Sam Adams, to begin laying the foundation of democracy for our country,” said John Lek, senior vice president and general manager, in a statement. “We wanted to bring this important facet of American history and influence that is so rooted in the northeastern part of the United States and share it with the West Coast.” The Green Dragon also serves as a gathering space with many people choosing to relax in the casual two-story tavern. During happy hour, patrons receive 25 percent off on starters that include the New England Clam Chowder — full of clams, carrots, celery, onions, fried fingerling potatoes, thyme and rosemary; along with Flash-Fried Calamari; Sweet Potato Waffle Fries; and Warm Pretzel Bites. There’s also $1 off on beers and wines by the glass. Twenty brews are on tap (predominantly craft-style) from breweries such as Stone,

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly /menurecipes

■ This week’s recipe:

Green Dragon Tavern’s Maine Lobster Roll Saint Archer, Ballast Point, Green Flash and AleSmith, along with Sons of Liberty and Samuel Adams (naturally). Most of the wines are from California with a few from exotic locations such as Argentina and Australia. Whether guests are in the tavern or the elegant dining room, they can peruse a menu created by Chef de Cuisine Craig Hastings, who blends Old World techniques (open-flame cooking, braising, griddling) with a modern approach. He uses local, sustainable ingredients in his dishes and prefers to make items from scratch, including the sauces, condiments, burger buns and flatbreads. For lighter fare, Hastings presents a half-

dozen salads and soups, and “Heroes” of the Revolution sandwiches. One popular is “The Patriot” — a brioche bun stuffed with chunks of Maine lobster lightly covered in tarragon aioli, topped with beer-batter crunchies and served with a side of greens. The entrees encompass everything from steaks and Crispy-Skinned Jidori Chicken to Tavern-Made Vegetarian Pasta. A favorite is the Cedar Plank Roasted Skuna Bay Salmon dressed in horseradish bearnaise and leeks, which rests on a bed of charred asparagus spears. It’s accompanied by a side of clam-and-corn stuffing. Another choice dish is the Seared Super Lump Crab Cakes, composed of 80 percent crabmeat that is pan-seared and covered in panko bread crumbs. The cakes are enveloped by roasted corn and pepper succotash, romanesco cauliflower and chive oil. To wrap up the meal, there are desserts such as the Apple Handpie, a personalsized, deep-dish pastry with a crust that’s brushed with a sugary glaze and filled with fruit. It’s enhanced by a scoop of caramel gelato and a drizzle of lavender honey. In addition, there’s the Chef’s Cast Iron S’more, a concoction of brown butter graham cracker crumble, chocolate ganache and honey marshmallow. “We want people to come in, enjoy good food, celebrate early American history and have a good time,” Lek said.

LUX Art Institute unveils new education pavilion •Community Open House will be held April 13 By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Several years in the making, the new Education Pavilion at Lux Art Institute will celebrate its grand opening with a Community Open House on April 13. The 7,000-square-foot building, designed by architect and Lux board member Anne Sneed, is meant to be a true community center. Boasting a sleek, steel-framed glass entrance and a set of finely crafted, reclaimed-wood “barn doors” in its interior, the pavilion features five large and colorful classroom/studio spaces, a wood shop and a digital lounge. Out back is a one-acre garden area with an amphitheater for concerts and special events. The new venue will allow Lux to expand its activities for children and begin offering others for teens and adults. Since its opening on an Encinitas hillside off El Camino Real, in 2007, Lux has dedicated itself to making art more accessible and meaningful, with an annual artistsin-residence program that allows the public to personally engage with international artists and watch their creative process. “The reason our children’s programs have been so successful is that the kids are inspired by world-class artists,” said Reesey Shaw, who is Lux’s founding director. “For our grand opening, we’re showing works by some of our early artists-in-residence, but afterwards, the gallery space will be turned over to the kids.” Lux’s new educational director is Lisa Davis, who comes from the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago. “I went from Smart to Lux,” she said, smiling. “I’ve become enlightened!” Davis is eager to see the new space filled with people, and ready to receive any suggestions for possible activities. “Yoga in the garden, film screenings, book clubs ... we’re open to new ideas!” Lux’s current artist-in-residence, Jarmo Mäkilä, will be part of the Open House celebration. His mysterious and compelling paintings of his Finnish boyhood will be on view in Lux’s upper gallery, along with the “Clay Boys” he’s been creating each day Lux is open to the public, i.e. three boys a week. The Lux Community Day Open House is noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 13, at Lux Art Institute, 1550 South El Camino Real, Encinitas. There will be hands-on art activities, live music and refreshments. Free. (760) 436-6611. luxinstitute.org

Local singer releases debut album titled ‘Longing’ By Kristina Houck More than a month after originally planned for release, fans of local resident Anna Danes can now purchase her debut album. “It’s been a year in the making, from the time we started recording to today,” said Danes on March 25, the day her album was released. A Feb. 11 release of “Longing” was originally planned. “I’m thrilled that the day is here.” “Longing” features a dozen songs, mostly jazz covers, including “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” “Killing Me Softly” and “Something.” The album also includes two original songs written by Producer Larry B. White and his wife, Margaret White. “The songs were selected by my heart,” Danes said. “If they spoke to me in some way, they ended up being on the album.” Danes discovered her passion for singing during her daughter’s voice lessons. When her then 7-year-old daughter refused to sing, she stepped in. Now 9 years old, Danes’ daughter opted for guitar lessons, while she recorded her first album. The process helped Danes through her divorce. “Music has been a tremendous help for me,” Danes said. “It has been very healthy and very cathartic. Not even knowing that it was happening, I was reaching for these particular songs because they struck a chord with me.” She recalled recording the album’s closing song, “I Wish You Love,” as a symbolic farewell to her now ex-

husband. “Singing about your feelings is so liberating. You get to live it over and over again and then you can leave it behind,” she said. “It’s a beautiful way to express what’s happening on the inside that we can’t often do otherwise.”

No excuses, we come to you! Call today! (760) 230-2040 :: www.pilates2u.com

Although “Longing” is Danes first album, music has always played a large part in her life. Born in Gdansk, Poland, Danes was 10 years old when her family escaped Communist rule and fled to Sweden. The family later settled in Canada after her father landed an engineer position in Ottawa. While adapting to a different culture and learning English and French, Danes also struggled with her parents’ divorce. She used music to escape and joined a Polish church choir in Ottawa. Until recently, that was the only music experience she had. Danes earned her bachelor’s degree in ancient history and archaeology from the University of Ottawa and studied law at the University of Windsor. She practiced family and

estate law as an attorney in Toronto prior to relocating to California 14 years ago. Since then, she became a business owner and mother. “Music has strengthened me as a person,” Danes said. “Doing what you love is really key. It comes out effortlessly.” An official album launch party is being planned for May. In addition to promoting her album, Danes said she would soon announce upcoming shows. “It’s official now,” Danes said. “It’s out there and it’s shared with the world — and it’s just the beginning.” For more information about Danes or to purchase her album, visit annadanes. com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Seniors Helping Seniors provides care, jobs to seniors in North County By Kristina Houck When Patricia Berman went to see her doctor for her routine checkup in March, he told her she doesn’t look or act 90 years old. “I don’t plan to act 90,” said Berman from her chair in her Oceanside house, a place she has called home for more than 20 years. “I want to keep doing things. I want to keep living.” When Berman fell in August, she needed a compassionate caregiver who understood her desire to remain independent. That’s when she contacted Seniors Helping Seniors of San Diego North County, a Carlsbad-based non-medical, in-home care agency. Founded in 1998 in Pennsylvania, Seniors Helping Seniors matches seniors who want to provide help with seniors who need help. The company now has about 230 locations throughout the U.S. “When you get to be a certain age, you can understand maybe what that other senior is going through,” said 63-year-old Patty McCormac, one of Berman’s three caretakers. “I’m not saying a younger per-

son couldn’t do it, but I think an older person has more empathy.” From a couple of hours to 24-hour care, Seniors Helping Seniors offers companionship, housekeeping, cooking, shopping, transportation services and more. Seniors Helping Seniors of San Diego North County serves Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos, Oceanside and Vista. After Berman fell, McCormac stayed with her full-time for five days. Now, she and two other caretakers from Seniors Helping Seniors take turns spending time with Berman Monday through Friday, driving her to her appointments, helping her clean her home, and more. “If I don’t have anything for them to do, they leave,” said Berman. “I have free time and I’m alone, which I like. I don’t want to be hovered over. I don’t need it.” A widow for 31 years, Berman said she enjoys spending time alone. After she raised her children, Berman worked at a needlepoint store. Today she spends much of her time working on needlepoint projects and teaching a needle-

I prefer privacy,” she said. “My home is my sanctuary.” While Seniors Helping Seniors provides essential services to senior clients, it also helps other senior citizens supplement their retirement incomes. Matching those two groups together is the mission of Seniors Helping Seniors. “I was lucky to get Mrs. Berman,” said McCormac,

who also lives in Oceanside. “I’ve got out of my rut, my circle of friends has widened and I genuinely love being with Mrs. Berman. “I think this is the best program I’ve seen around here. Seniors are helping seniors. In a few more years, I might need a little help.” Seniors Helping Seniors of San Diego North County is located at 701 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 300, Carlsbad.

Written by Dr. Thea Iberall, the play is intended to help educate, empower and mentor girls and women in order to address the disparities that still exist in the work force and political arena. Women of all ages need to know where we have been in order to see the potential of where we can go when we work to-

The latest sign on the Gateway property will be installed this weekend to remind residents and visitors in North County that the land is secure — but not yet saved. It’s not too late for donors to lend their name and support. The Gateway property is a small yet critical piece of open space tucked between Solana Beach and San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, just east of Cardiff Seaside Beach and along Scenic Highway 101. “We are nearing our goal of securing this land for open space in perpetuity,” said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. “We took a risk in 2011 reaching out to our supporters for a loan to purchase the property. With the conservancy’s expertise in successful land acquisitions, they knew it was the right decision.” To-date, the conservancy has raised $3.4 million in gifts and pledges from more than 1,100 donors toward the goal of $3.75 million to permanently acquire the property. For decades, Gateway was the site of numerous hotel and condominium proposals. A succession of story poles on the property outlined various commercial plans. The community rallied to defeat each development scheme, knowing that construction on Gateway would eliminate one of the most spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean that could be enjoyed in coastal North County. In 2011 the property went into foreclosure. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy secured loans to place the winning bid to purchase Gateway for $3.75 million. Acquiring Gateway was the first step to ensure it would never be developed. When the Gateway property is officially added to San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, it will provide a secure environment for native plants and animals, including Cassin’s Kingbird, Bewick’s Wren, and Cooper’s Hawk. Once acquired, new trails will connect the Coastal Rail Trail with San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. Gateway will be restored with native plants that will enhance the scenery and provide enriched habitat for wildlife. Sitting areas will provide unobstructed views of the coast, surf, and setting sun from Seaside Beach to Swami’s. A

stone and mosaic decorative welcome trail entrance is in design with local artist Betsy Schulz, who also created the Solana Beach rail trail entrance and Del Mar Library retaining wall, among other notable projects. Community members can be part of this historic The Campaign for Gateway Park by contributing so that the property can be conserved forever. Each gift helps save a part of California’s coastal heritage. For more information about giving to Gateway, the phone number is (760) 436-3944 x 708 and web site is www.SanElijo.org/ Gateway-Park

EARTH DAY 2014

PLANETARY HEALING This month we earthlings celebrate and honor commitment to good stewardship of Mother Earth. There is nothing more significant to healing ourselves and the planet than to live in a healthy relation with Earth. Respect for this living being we habitate as home, determines what level of awareness or wakefulness one is most continuously participating in. When not in a steady stream of wakefulness an individual drifts between the two mental spheres of thinking that lead one to forget responsibility to keeping connected to the natural world. It has long been known from Aboriginal reality, from where we evolved, that we and earth share living qualities. It makes a difference in our attitude toward our self, our wholeness and our wellbeing how we distinguish the connections.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

TakeLessons raises an additional $7 million in venture funding â&#x20AC;˘Increasing total amount raised to $20 million, positioning TakeLessons as a core member of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploding tech scene. San Diego-based TakeLessons (www.takelessons.com), the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading online marketplace connecting students of all ages with high quality, well-vetted teachers, recently announced an additional $7 million in funding, bringing its total raised to $20 million. The round, led by new investor Chicago-based Lightbank, included participation from the startupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing investors, Crosslink Capital, SoftTech VC, and Triangle Peak Partners, and new investor Moore Venture Partners. Last year, TakeLessons was named San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondfastest growing internet company, as well as the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh-fastest growing company overall. With its recent Google partnership, finalized in November 2013, and the recent acquisition of its Chicago-based competitor, Betterfly, TakeLessonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regional and national significance has grown significantly over the past few months. The additional funds raised will help accelerate TakeLessonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; growth, both physically in San Diego, with the opening of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new offices downtown, and online, with the addition of the foreign language category. Previously, TakeLessons catered to those seeking academic tutoring, music lessons, and instruction in the

performing and visual arts. These new funds have enabled TakeLessonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expansion into new cities as well as language instruction. The funds have also empowered TakeLessonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; further development of its proprietary web-based scheduling, billing, and communication tools, which are already used by thousands of teachers to streamline the management and marketing of

their businesses. TakeLessonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CEO, Steven Cox, is passionate about helping teachers become more entrepreneurial by harnessing the power of mobile and online technology to help them make a living doing what they love to do. Cox considers TakeLessons a representation of the best that online marketplaces have to offer. While similar in concept to other marketplaces, such as eBay and Amazon, TakeLessons is committed to supporting life-enriching skills and hobbies that inspire creativity and promote mental and physical health and well-being. â&#x20AC;&#x153;TakeLessonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proprietary web-based platform

enables teachers of all disciplines to share their knowledge and passion with their students, wherever, however, and whenever they choose,â&#x20AC;? said Cox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This latest round of funding fuels our growth by enabling us to attract the best teachers and students to our site. It also has the added benefit of generating jobs and economic activity in our region. As a company we hope that our growth will help elevate national awareness, not only of TakeLessons, but also of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talented tech industry, which we are true beneficiaries of.â&#x20AC;?

Introducing the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers’ Market: Bringing the Best and Doing the Most for the Covenant We all know that Rancho Santa Fe is an amazing place to live. Now, it’s about to get better. On March 6, the Rancho Santa Fe Association approved a nine-month trial run for the Covenant’s very ﬁrst weekly farmers’ market – an invaluable asset that will fortify our community spirit, health and vitality. With the help of community leaders Eamon Callahan and Vearl Smith, we

petitioned and rallied the Rancho Santa Fe Association for permission to develop a Saturday farmers’ market in the village. And finally, after three years, our labor of love has finally come to fruition. Join me in celebration! Why am I so passionate about having a Rancho Santa Fe farmers’ market? One of my favorite things about the Covenant is its sense of community, and there is something about buying produce from local farmers and artisans—and the conversations that go along with it— that serves to enhance that community spirit. I am also passionate about the health benefits to both the community and the environment. Farmers’ markets promote health by encouraging people to eat seasonally and they give people the opportunity to try rare fruits and vegetables. Buying locally also reduces transportation costs and vehicle emissions. But, most importantly, farmers’ markets provide a warm, vibrant space where families can come together to further enjoy

the beauty that Rancho Santa Fe has to offer. It took over three years of commitment, compromise and hard work to overcome every question and challenge the Rancho Santa Fe Association had for us, but I am pleased to say that from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays on El Tordo, between Lineal Del Cielo and Avenidia de Acacias, there will be a wonderful event for our beloved community. It’s this same sense of commitment, persistence, and community with which I approached the farmers’ market that I approach my job as a real estate agent. I am always stunned when I say to other agents “we are in this together,” and they look at me like they have never heard such an outlandish thing! But, of course, we are in it together: it’s our job to work together to facilitate the optimum transactions for our sellers and buyers—as long as it is legal, moral, and ethical. To this end, I am fully invested and commitment to accommodating showings and facilitating

deals – and my references and staff can back me up on my ethics. Of course, all agents try to do this, but the luxury market can be a little difﬁcult because it’s largely appointment-only, and some agents are simply too over-extended to show their properties to all prospective buyers. My supportive team and dedication to service ensures that I don’t miss a beat and that all properties are showcased as they should be. As my branch manager Steve Salinas says, “You can’t sell what you can’t show!” Here, it’s all about what best serves the community – in both work and play. My slogan is “Be the Best. Do the Most.” And that is how I apply myself to serving Rancho Santa Fe—from listings, to buyer representation, to establishing a farmers’ market. If you are interested in buying or selling in the Rancho Santa Fe community, please don’t hesitate to give me a call at 858.759.6567 or visit http://www.janetlawlesschrist.com/.

To your health: Treatment options for pelvic floor disorders By Dale Mitchell, M.D., Scripps Health As any woman who has gone through childbirth can attest, carrying and delivering a baby can be a wonderful experience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy on the body. Months of supporting a growing baby, followed by labor and delivery, can take a toll on the muscles, ligaments and connective tissues that make up the pelvic floor. Pregnancy and delivery may ultimately lead to descent or prolapse of the pelvic organs including the bladder, uterus and rectum. This can affect their ability to function normally, leading to problems such as pelvic pressure, pain, and incontinence. If the organs begin to descend within the pelvis, it may cause pain during physical activity or intercourse. In the United States, pelvic floor disorders affect more than 28 million women. Typically the more pregnancies a woman has, the greater the impact on her pelvic floor, especially if labor and the pushing phase are longer. Pelvic floor disorders are much more common among Caucasian women than those of color. Often, there also is a family tendency toward the disorder. One of the most common pelvic floor disorders is a prolapsed or dropped uterus. Symptoms may vary depending on how much the uterus has prolapsed; a woman with only a slight prolapse may have mild or no symptoms, while a woman whose uterus has descended into the lower vagina may feel considerable pelvic pressure and pain with intercourse. Bladder symptoms can include pelvic pressure and incontinence ranging from very mild to so incapacitating that women may be hesitant to leave their homes for due to fear of urinary leakage. Most women fall somewhere between these two extremes. Rectal disorders can also cause pressure and difficulty passing stool. Treatment for pelvic floor disorders depends on the individual patient and the severity of her symptoms. Our first step would be to perform a thorough history and clinical exam to determine the function of the pelvic floor muscles, rule out other possible causes such as uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts, and confirm that prolapse is in fact causing the symptoms. Consideration is also given to pelvic ultrasound to ensure we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missing something that may not have been evident on the clinical exam.

If urine leakage is a symptom, it is important that patients have cystometric studies done to determine exactly the nature of the problem and rule out other causative factors such as overactive bladder or neurologic problems. Some bladder conditions are better handled by a gynecologist, while others are better handled by an urologist. In some cases, these specialists may collaborate on surgical repair. Some gynecologists have additional training in urogynecology and may be more prepared to treat these conditions. With most patients, we recommend starting with exercises they can do themselves to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Kegel exercises, for example, involve repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that help support the pelvic floor. If a patient is overweight this could be contributing to additional pressure on the pelvisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even moderate weight loss can have a significant impact on the amount of prolapse they might have and improvement in their symptoms. Many patients may benefit from physical therapy as well. A physical therapist trained in pelvic floor rehabilitation may use various therapies, including targeted exercises and biofeedback, to restore the pelvic floor muscles to their proper function. Should surgery be needed, patients should be aware of their options and ensure that the surgeon has extensive experience in the procedure being performed. In some cases, minimally invasive surgical techniques offer shorter recoveries and a quicker return to normal activity. Traditional approaches may use sutures to repair the damaged ligaments, while newer procedures may use mesh and synthetic agents to do the repairs. There is no clear evidence that one way is better; it is most important to choose the right surgeon for the procedure to achieve the best possible long-term result. As with any surgery, be sure to discuss the pros, cons and risks with your physician and surgeon. If you experience symptoms of pelvic floor disorder, talk to your physician about which treatments are right for you.
