RSF School board, Faculty Association reach teachers agreement for 2013-16 BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District and the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association settled their negotiations for a new teachers agreement for 2013-16, a process Superintendent Lindy Delaney said went very well. The agreement was ratified at the school board’s May 1 meeting in a 3-0 vote with trustee Todd Buchner abstaining. “I love our teachers but I still struggle with the step and column process,” Buchner said of the salary schedule that determines a teacher’s pay. The step refers to the number of years an employee has worked and the column to the amount of education the employee has. “It’s hard to understand this is the right thing long term for our school and schools statewide.” In May 2012, the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association made its initial proposal to the board on its new three-year contracts, requesting increased salary and benefits and a continuation of the board policy to allow faculty children to attend R. Roger Rowe. The district did not complete contract negotiations last year and recommended a

cooling off period until after the 2012 elections in light of Prop 30 being on the November ballot. Negotiations started up again in March 2013. “Overall we were pleased with the negotiations,” said teacher Steven Rossier. “They were completed in a cooperative and productive manner.” The teachers settled on what amounts to a bonus for the current year of 2 percent of their current salary. “This isn’t much when you consider we haven’t had an increase in four years but we were pleased the district was willing to move,” Rossier said. The RSF School board also agreed to continue its policy that allows children of faculty members who are not residents of the district to attend Rowe through June 2016. Delaney said this year that amounts to nine teachers’ children, next year there will be 10 and the possibility of 11 the year after that. Buchner also abstained from the 3-0 vote on that policy. (RSF School board trustee Todd Frank did not attend the meeting.)

Canyon Crest Academy principal leaving the district Canyon Crest Academy Principal Brian Kohn recently announced that he is leaving his position to take another job. The district plans to begin a search to replace Kohn.

RSF Art Guild continues search for new gallery space Group hopes to receive donated space

Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild Board Member Cindy Klong and President Kim Doherty are looking for a new home for the gallery. Their last day in their current village space is June 1. PHOTO/KAREN BILLING

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild is focused on finding a new home. As reported recently, due to the Union Bank’s planned expansion, the Guild must be out of the “generously-donated” bank space in the RSF village that they’ve called home for the last 15 years by June 1. RSF Art Guild President Kim Doherty is now tackling the challenging task of finding a new gallery space — ideally donated space.

“The strong message is that the Guild is continuing,” Doherty said. “We’re just in a transition phase while we find a location.” “We’re not going away,” said Cindy Klong, an artist and member of the Guild’s board of directors. Both Doherty and Klong know and expressed gratitude about how fortunate they were to have Union Bank donate the village gallery space and supSee GUILD, page 22

Education Matters/Opinion

Musical chairs at San Dieguito Union High School District BY MARSHA SUTTON After spending two months a n d $26,000 of taxpayer money on Marsha Sutton an execut i v e search firm, the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Education came around to the obvious conclusion – that deputy superintendent Rick Schmitt was the ideal candidate to replace retiring superintendent Ken Noah. Good for them. They couldn’t have picked anyone better for the job. A natural leader, Schmitt has a thorough understanding of the district in ways no one from outside would have. He’s well-respected, a clear thinker, knowledgeable, accessible and affable. Besides all that, Schmitt has the under-appreciated quality of connecting well with teenagers on a personal level. Although this might not seem so important for a superintendent and highlevel administrator, well-re-

moved from the daily operations of schools and frequent interactions with students, it’s a vital trait that is often overlooked. So why did it take school board members so long to decide on their own guy after expending all that time and money? Although $26,000 isn’t exactly like winning the lottery, it’s still a piece of change, in this era of fiscal constraint where school districts are squeezing pennies from budgets any way they can. Even though at least one board member recommended skipping the search firm route and naming Schmitt from the start, all five eventually agreed to pay the money to conduct a thorough search. Turns out Barbara Groth, SDUHSD board president, offered some compelling justifications. “I think we really needed to make comparisons to see who is out there,” she said. “Until we ask and until you recruit, you don’t know.” Because the process was

so thorough, Groth said the board is “very comfortable and very confident that we made the right [decision].” She said it was time and money well spent. “I know there were people who were rooting for Rick from the very beginning, but I can now go to the public with a clear conscience and say we searched and had really good people,” she said. “We carefully weighed all the pros and cons of each one of them and this is the best one.” Currently SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services, Schmitt was moved up into a new position of deputy superintendent, effectively second in command, several months before existing superintendent Ken Noah announced his retirement. Once the news hit that Noah was leaving, many felt Schmitt would be chosen immediately. But Groth said no. “He was not the heir apparent,” she said. When the new position was approved, “we were not looking for a superintendent, so

that did not come into play whatsoever.” Search firm Leadership Associates brought in 16 applicants who were narrowed down to three to interview – Schmitt and two others, one from northern California and one from southern California. Groth declined to name the other two candidates because they are both employed in other districts, but she said one was from a larger district and one from a district of similar size. All three had experience coming through the ranks as principals of middle and high schools. But the other two had more experience at higher-level management, she said. “They were good, strong candidates,” she said. San Dieguito’s last two superintendents were recruited from outside the district. “We were open to bring in someone who has been a superintendent in another highly performing district,” she said. “There is something to be said for new eyes.” Groth cited a number of reasons why the board

settled on Schmitt instead. “He knows his stuff, and he’s ready to step up,” she said. “Compared to the other very good candidates who had more experience, Rick came out as definitely the better fit for our district.” Groth said they “grilled him” to learn how he would perform as a superintendent because “he has not sat in that chair and has never acted like one because that was not his position.” “It was his vision of the district that was exciting,” she said. “It was building on what we have but yet putting his own mark on it. It really all fell into place.” “He made it very clear he can and will be a very successful superintendent,” she said. “He’s really grown as a professional. I was really impressed.” Groth said Schmitt was focused, candid about the district’s challenges and accomplishments, and acknowledged some of the issues which she said include closing the achievement gap, working with severe budget cutbacks, and over-

seeing the district’s recently approved $449 million General Obligation bond and the projects. “He is definitely ready to be a superintendent, and it’s going to be a really good direction for San Dieguito,” she said. No drastic changes Ken Noah, who came to San Dieguito five years ago as superintendent, was pleased with the board’s decision to pick Schmitt. “I know what his talents and skills and abilities are,” Noah said. “I believe he will provide excellent leadership for the district.” Noah said that “Rick has been such an integral part in helping shape and support the direction in the five years I’ve been here, and I know that work is not only going to continue but it’s going to grow. And that’s gratifying to me.” Noah said Schmitt has the full support and respect of the district’s leadership team. When they were called together to hear the

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local author sheds light on the Hollywood dream in unique book BY DIANE Y. WELCH Is Hollywood the happiest place on Earth or the most miserable? This is the question that author and popular culture maven Susan Marg, a local resident, pondered as she pored over piles of glossy magazines and newspaper gossip columns searching for the best celebrity quotations that might answer her query. The result is an informative and entertaining book that contains quotations – that both laud and deride Tinseltown – dished out by Hollywood stars, past and present. Titled “Hollywood or Bust: Movie Stars Dish on Following their Dreams, Making it Big, and Surviving in Tinseltown” [Cowgirl Jane Press, April 2013], the 182-page volume is a fun pick-up-and-read-anytime book or a handy resource for anyone needing that perfect celebrity quotation, said Marg. Organized in seven chapters, the collection reads like a story and com-

Susan Marg prises “over 500 quips, quotes, and off-the-cuff remarks” by actors, directors, writers and other show business folk, Marg said. “They talk about themselves, their lives, their fame, their careers, and each other!” Chapter headings are movie titles. “The question of whether art imitates life or vice versa interests me,” said Marg. “Also I didn’t want to ignore movies altogether while I focused on what the celebrities were

saying about their experience. I also have quotations at the beginning of each section that helps illustrate the focus on that section,” she explained. Movie titles include “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” and “Anyway Which Way You Can.” The book’s title is a nod to a 1956 Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comedy, in which the goofy pair take a crosscountry ride to Hollywood. Star comments include the celebrated words of Ben Affleck, Jack Black, Woody Allen, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Lindsay Lohan, Clint Eastwood, Scarlet Johansson, and those of vintage icons such as Bing Crosby and Marlene Dietrich. Marg said that she read a lot, especially biographies, while she was culling the book’s content. “At one time I had over 2,000 quotations, which I then sorted by theme and while it took a long time to gather the

material the book came together easily and it was a lot of fun!” Some of the themes of the book address stardom and how celebrities often rise from humble roots to lofty heights; technical acting skills; their looks; and the big payoff – the Oscars – and more. Directors talk about their perspective from the other side of the camera, and screenwriters vent how they are the “lowest of the low on the Tinseltown totem pole, except possibly for agents,” quipped Marg. When asked if she had a favorite quotation, Marg was hard pressed to think of just one. “But I particularly enjoy the classics,” she said, such as Marilyn Monroe’s famous words “Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and 50 cents for your soul.” Another of Marg’s favorites is Sandra Bullock’s comment on fame: “When your computer modem is broken, the repair guy

comes out a little faster.” And Marlon Brando’s “The only reason I’m in Hollywood is that I don’t have the moral courage to refuse the money.” Marg is also the author of “Las Vegas Weddings: A Brief History, Celebrity Gossip, Everything Elvis, and the Complete Chapel Guide” [Harper Collins]. Her interest in popular culture and the entertainment industry, and her writing skills, grew from her background in the world of advertising and marketing.

“You need to know who’s in, who’s out and what’s going on in the world of entertainment. I guess it’s in my blood,” said Marg. Born and raised in Ohio, and after spending a 15-year career as an advertising manager for AT&T in New Jersey, Marg later relocated to this area where she still lives with her husband, James C. Simmons, who is also an author and a historian. On her blog, “The More Things Change...”, Marg reflects on history, her story, true stories and fiction. “I believe our stories make us who we are,” she said. The book, which recently received an honorable mention for one of the Best Books of the Spring, at the San Francisco Book Festival, retails at $14.95 and may be purchased online at www.hollywoodorbustthebook.com.

Father embarks on cross-country bike trek to support daughter’s nonprofit Laura Karch-Gries recovered from devastating injury and established Awakenings rehabilitation facility BY KAREN BILLING On May 5, on a bike loaded with 93 pounds of equipment, 71-year-old Peter Karch set off on a solo, cross-country bike trek from Carpinteria to Assateague, Virginia. Karch is not only attempting to break his own 10-year-old record but to raise funds and awareness for the nonprofit Awakenings Health Institute in Solana Beach owned by his daughter Laura Karch-Gries. A local resident, Laura, 36, who was paralyzed from the neck down at age 18 and learned to walk again, founded Awakenings as a rehabilitation facility to restore the lives and health of people challenged by paralysis. Karch aims to shave time off his record of 61 days for the 4,046 miles of unsupported, lonely, sometimes scary, sometimes sweltering ride across country. He thinks if his age is a limitation, how different is it from what his daughter’s clients face? Karch said he’s

out to prove that “the only limitations you have are the goals you set for yourself.” Awakenings is a nonprofit that treats people who have suffered from strokes, spinal cord and brain injuries, and all neurological disorders, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. Several patients are young veterans of war. Awakenings offers all different kinds of physical, emotional, mental, recreational and social therapies under one roof — fitness, Chinese medicine, adaptive yoga, nutrition, massage and bodywork, cognitive therapies, social integration and therapeutic recreation. Clients apply for grants and sponsorships to go through therapies at Awakenings so the organization relies heavily on donors and community support. “99.1 percent of our clients who have left in the last eight years of business have been because of a lack of funding. That always breaks our hearts,” said Lau-

ra, noting her father’s trek is the organization’s first fundraiser in an effort to grow its financial assistance fund. “If we can get that fund to be enormous, we can help even more people… These people need so much help in every facet of life.” Laura said the people they serve have lives that were changed in the blink of an eye. The changes are not only traumatic but they are expensive — the costs of 24hour care can escalate to over $120,000 a year and insurance often does not cover stroke or spinal cord injury victims once they leave the hospital. “It’s very hard to get the treatment that they need because they certainly can’t pay for it,” Laura said. Laura said her parents and family have always been huge supporters of Awakenings and it means so much to her that her father would put in the risky mileage to raise money and awareness for her cause. She worries, especially after watching him peddle off alone under so much weight. “It was a little scary seeing him go off,” said Laura. “But his mentality is steel. He’s a bull. If he sets out to do something, he will definitely accomplish it.” Karch is just as complimentary about his daughter. “She’s an amazing girl,” Karch said of Laura. “We convinced her that she is a motivator for the people she’s working with and they should know what she’s gone through.” The crash is still difficult for Karch to talk about, even so many years later. He and his wife were traveling in New Jersey, coming back from visiting the Karchs’ son at Columbia University. Laura was in the backseat, without her seatbelt on. She was 18 years old, on spring break from her freshman year of college at the University of Delaware. Karch said the driver of a tractor-trailer got antsy as traffic backed up on the freeway and cut into their lane. The trailer sideswiped their car, spun them, turned them around and hit them headon. The Karchs’ car tumbled down a median and Laura was thrown out 32 feet. Laura had broken her neck and was paralyzed from the neck down. All of her life, Laura had been an athlete. She loved exercising and played tennis, soccer and softball. She had never been in a hospital before her accident and with the gift of youth and not knowing any better, she was undaunted when the doctor said she would not walk again without some kind of

PHOTO/KAREN BILLING assistance device and that her rehabilitation would be the hardest workout she had ever done. “I was 18 and the only thing I cared about was getting back to college,” Laura said. “Had I been told that today, my recovery might not have been the same. I was naïve to a lot of things. A lot of patients will come into our program who were told they will never walk again and they decide that they can’t and they never tried.” It wasn’t that rehab was easy — it definitely was the hardest workout of her life but she attacked rehab with a tenacity and determination that her father called “unparalleled.” He said that when the therapists left at the end of a session, Laura would stay and do it herself. Laura sat up for the first time six days after the accident and was only in the hospital for 12 days before eventually learning to walk again at a rehab center in Allentown. She wore a halo for three months, followed by hard and soft collars. A year after her accident she made it a point to walk on her own into that doctor’s office, just to prove to him he was wrong. She said that doctor has never again told a patient they won’t walk again. Of her remarkable recovery, Laura said in a 1995 article: “I guess I’m a fighter and very stubborn.” She might have inherited that stubbornness from

her father. Peter has been riding a bike since he was 5 years old. This journey across country isn’t his first exercise in the extreme— he and his sons did a rugged hike through the Appalachians and he’s done the same cross country trip he is doing now 10 years ago. That knowledge of what it will be like is helpful but he also knows exactly how hard it will be. “This side is terrible,” Karch said of the first part of the journey. “The first three to four days are a shock to the system.” Starting out riding south out of Santa Barbara it’s a steady climb to sea level and then it’s the Mohave Desert. Across Nevada the weather can be “a killer,” he said. Karch added that at the time of his last ride it was 110 degrees every day. It drops to the high ‘90s in mid-Kansas but then the humidity goes up “something terrible.” He left two weeks earlier this time to lessen the heat possibility. He fears snakes because if he is bitten he will be far away from a hospital and he also is a little leery of people, being out there all alone. He aims to average about 70 to 90 miles a day, rising early at 3:30 a.m. to be on the road by 5 a.m. He is confident that he will beat his time and has stayed in shape by walking three miles a day and swimming in addition to cycling.

“I’m a biologist and I’ve taught biology all my life and one thing I always told my students is that we’re all a unique set of genes and no one will ever be you,” Karch said. “I want to do something different that no one’s done before, just to say that I’m me. “I believe that if you want to enjoy the pinnacles of life, you have to resist traveling the routes of least resistance. Resist taking the easy route. There’s fantastic things out there, you have to be able to let yourself do them,” Karch said. “As you get older, do things that are a little harder and there’s some pleasure in that.” As with any endurance activity, finding the motivation to keep moving forward becomes a challenge. “When I’m on the road and it’s 100 degrees out and it’s an 8 percent incline with 70 pounds of baggage, you ask yourself why. There’s 1,000 reasons not to do it and one reason to do it,” Karch said. I can’t tell you how much the syncopation and the cadence of the pedaling, the stripes on the road, give you a rhythm that helps you maintain. It’s hard but you tell yourself, ‘just give me 50 more strokes.’ And I think of Laura too. I’ve always told her she’s my idol.” Laura had aimed to be a professional tennis player but when she realized it wouldn’t be a reality after her accident, she had designs on opening a destination tennis club and spa. She moved out to California in 2001 and began working at a day spa. One day a man came in who was in a wheelchair. Up until that point, Laura did not identify herself as a person with a spinal cord injury but after speaking to the man, she couldn’t sleep that night and realized that she needed to be working with that population. She started Awakenings as a nonprofit in 2003 and began working with people in their homes in 2004. In 2005, she opened the doors to Awakenings, a destination club of sorts. Thanks to a grant from Home Depot, the Solana Beach location is about to get a complete overhaul in June. “Our success rate with spinal cord injuries has been phenomenal here,” Laura said. “We’re able to help them get rid of all or most of their caregiving costs.” For Laura there’s no greater feeling than when she sees a client who was unable to walk when they

Upcoming air show salutes San Diego’s wartime spirit North County aviators are playing key roles in the 18th Annual “Wings Over Gillespie” Air Show from June 1-2 at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, featuring fly-bys, mock battles and tributes to military veterans. This year’s show commemorates San Diego’s contributions to World War II and its “Arsenal of Democracy,” the fleet of war machines that were designed or built here. Dozens of planes will take to the skies during the event, including Consolidated’s famed “flying boat,” the PBY Catalina, and one of the few PB4Y-2 Privateers still flying today. Aviation buff Bill Allen of La Jolla, whose family’s roots in real estate and polo go deep, will fly a rare 1940 Ryan STM2, built in San Diego under military contract for the Dutch and later flown by the Royal Australian Air Force. Allen not only flies vintage aircraft, he collects them, a small fleet of planes that includes a 1945 Stearman PT-17 once owned by the late actor Steve McQueen. Bill and wife Claudia own and operate the Allen Airways Flying Museum at Gillespie Field, a stunning collection of avia-

tion memorabilia, from posters to battered propellers, leather helmets, even a gas can used to refuel Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. Air Show Chairman is Bob Simon of Del Mar, a retired American Airlines Captain and Naval aviator, who now owns and flies a Stearman biplane named after his wife, D’Marie. Also from Del Mar is Assistant Chair Erich Moulder, a corporate jet pilot, who will fly “Sassy,” a SNJ World War II trainer in the show. Rancho Santa Fe’s Dwight Wait, a retired Delta Air Lines Captain and Air Force pilot, serves as the show’s security director. Last year’s Air Show Chairman, John Telles of Vista, is a retired Marine pilot who flew the presidential helicopter known as Marine One during the Nixon and Ford administrations. New to this year’s air show is the thrilling Silver Wings Wingwalking team, combining flying and artistry in a dynamic sky ballet on the wings of Stearman bi-planes. The only Northrop N9M Flying Wing returns, along with John A. Collver and his AT6/SNJ “War Dog,” a World War II

trainer performing in an exciting aerial display to the strains of patriotic music. The show also features dozens of educational displays from NASA, the military services and defense contractors, along with booths offering everything from aviation art to airplane models. The event will offer plenty of food and beverages, including a beer garden, and a Kids’ Zone. Parking is free. Gates are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Friday is an Education Day for San Diego County students, and is not open to the public. “Wings over Gillespie” is presented each year by Air Group One, the San Diego Wing of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), a 501(c) (3) volunteer organization dedicated to preserving the history of the people and planes of World War II. Led by Wing Leader Jim McGarvie, Air Group One also sponsors fly-overs for veterans’ events; handson workshops for students focusing on A-STEM (Aviation, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math); and “Fly Days” on the first Friday of every month with live music, craft beer and

Schmitt moved to Carmel Valley from the Bay Area with his family in 1999

to work as principal of Coronado High School. He began his career in the district in 2003 as principal of Torrey Pines High School where he spent three years until being appointed associate superintendent of educational services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my community so I have perspective as a parent and as an educator,â&#x20AC;? Schmitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived here for 14 years. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole generation of K-12 kids

coming through.â&#x20AC;? When asked what he offered that the other candidates didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, he said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who they were but felt his â&#x20AC;&#x153;intimate knowledge of all our communities â&#x20AC;Ś is a clear advantage for someone who already works in the organization.â&#x20AC;? Schmitt said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;flattered and humbledâ&#x20AC;? by the selection, saying picking an internal candidate generally means the board sup-

ports the focus and direction of the district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clear signal that they liked our work, they liked our team,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They liked the direction, they liked Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership style.â&#x20AC;? Schmitt said he and Noah â&#x20AC;&#x153;see the world very similarly in terms of what our work is. He begins and ends with supporting students and working hard to have a positive impact on the lives of students and staff.â&#x20AC;? Schmitt has no immediate plans to make drastic changes. He intends to â&#x20AC;&#x153;stay the courseâ&#x20AC;? in general but acknowledged that changes will occur in two major ways. One is the national transition to Common Core standards for English and math, and the other is managing the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Proposition AA $449 million bond. He said, though, that new developments in budgets, enrollment, boundaries and other considerations may mean that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the answers in 2013 might not be the answers in 2014.â&#x20AC;? Schmitt is proud of the progress the district has made over the past few years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;some unprecedented achievement gains in spite of historic budget cuts,â&#x20AC;? he said. When the announcement was made to staff and the room erupted in applause, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt a lot of cheer in the room,â&#x20AC;? he said. At the May 16 board meeting, trustees will officially appoint Schmitt as the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next superintendent, effective July 1. Contract details will be finalized

More openings With Schmittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move into the top spot, his position of deputy superintendent and associate superintendent of educational services (work he continued to do as deputy superintendent) are now both open. In addition, Brian Kohn, principal of Canyon Crest Academy, recently resigned to take a position in northern California, and Anna Pedroza, principal of Oak Crest Middle School and former principal of Earl Warren Middle School, is also leaving. This leaves at least four vacancies, although whether the deputy superintendent position gets filled is questionable Smart money is on Mike Grove, executive director of curriculum and assessment, to take Schmittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old job. And we can expect to see some musical chairs as people and jobs get shuffled around a bit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the strength of the district is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing our own administrators,â&#x20AC;? Groth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are very competent people. You find someone you know is a star and you encourage that ability and give them opportunities to learn and to practice their craft.â&#x20AC;? She said the board will likely be involved in principal selection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bringing in principals is huge,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next month and a half is a transition time where I need to be respectful of the fact that Rick is going to be the superintendent,â&#x20AC;? said Noah, commenting that Schmitt needs to select people he can work with and support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complicating piece to this.â&#x20AC;? The district may look outside for the person to run Canyon Crest Academy, Noah said, although â&#x20AC;&#x153;we do have a number of very capable people in the district that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to look at to fill a number of positions.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is lots of movement in the district, [with] a number of administrators looking for different options,â&#x20AC;?

It’s hard work to do this,” Laura said. “Taking the first step is not the end of rehab, it actually means rehab is going to become a lot more intense and they have many, many years ahead of them.” Even a two -week vacation could set patients back. “The walking stories are major successes but we get ones that are not as tangible as walking or living completely independent,” said Laura. She told of one client who came in suicidal and depressed and wouldn’t even look at herself in a mirror after a traumatic car accident. She was with Awakenings for six years and has turned her life around, is now married and able to lead a happy life. Laura said the impact of results like that cannot be measured. Like her clients, Laura’s recovery is ongoing and she knows she has to keep herself

She still does not feel most sensations in her body and will have the occasional problem with gait, but she doesn’t let it stop her from running Awakenings, walking, swimming and doing yoga. She is also four-and-a-half months pregnant. Laura admits she used to feel a lot of guilt that she was able to get up and walk away from what happened to her. “I got so wrapped up in it and everybody I saw I had to help them, I never slept and I ran myself ragged trying to save the world,” Laura said. “I realized I can’t save the world. I got comfortable with that fact, as long as I’m making something good out of [her recovery].” Somewhere in the middle of the country is a man alone on a cycle, thinking of her with each push of the peddle; thinking as much about her journey as the one that lies ahead of him. “I’m so proud of her,” Karch said.

The Guild runs on volunteer manpower that helps manage displays that rotate several times a year. Ideally, the Guild would like to remain a presence in the RSF village but it is open to entertaining all kinds of options. As Doherty said,“It’s a matter of looking at what’s out there and finding the best fit.” “We feel like we can reinvent ourselves,” said

Klong. “We don’t have to be exactly like this. We want to keep culture and arts alive in Rancho Santa Fe. Little by little [that’s been] lost. The charm [in the village] will go away if we don’t at least keep what we have.” “It’s definitely a community feeling that the Ranch stands to lose without the gallery here,” Doherty said.

BY KAREN BILLING The Pantry in the RSF village is now Rancho Santa Fe Bistro. Not only has the name changed, but there are have been several tweaks for the village eatery — it is open for breakfast on the weekdays and brunch on the weekends, there’s a full slate of healthful smoothies and juices on the expanded menu, and a happy hour and high tea to cap off busy weekdays. Mozy Jahanguiri purchased the restaurant in January and went to work, renovating and deep cleaning the inside, and installing a new, glossy wood wine cellar to house over 2,000 bottles of French and American wines. He also installed new restrooms. He gave the restaurant the look of a “warm,” French bistro with antique touches. He is currently working with the Art Jury on revamping the patio area. Jahanguiri is hoping that his restaurant will be a place people feel very comfortable coming to and he hopes to forge friendships with regulars. “I think we’re going to be a great neighborhood restaurant, you don’t have to be fancy,” Jahanguiri said. Jahanguiri has run restaurants in Chicago, Minneapolis and Dallas. Photographs and awards from his past successes are framed on the wall behind the front counter, where an impressive new cappuccino machine sits. After his initial foray into the restaurant business, Jahanguiri went back to school to get his MBA and became an advisor to Southern Methodist University. He decided to get back into restaurants when he relocated to California from Texas to be closer to his 24-year-old son who served two tours in Afghanistan as a special forces Marine and is now attending Palomar College. In the mornings, breakfast will be served at RSF Bistro from 7:30-10 a.m. on the weekdays, and brunch will be offered Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Breakfast options include all organic eggs and fresh local vegetables. Try some fresh fruit in their homemade organic yogurt or oatmeal.

RSF Bistro has a new, glossy wood wine cellar that houses over 2,000 bottles of French and American wines.

The Alicia Chocolate PETA Supreme has veggie protein powder, bananas, strawberries, flax, spinach and chocolate hemp seed milk. Another packed smoothie, the Kam Sifu, comes with veggie protein powder, kale, strawberries, goat’s milk yogurt, dates, almond milk, cinnamon and flax.

Conner’s Cause for Children to present luncheon, boutique and auction in RSF

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KATHY DAY Grief finds a way of evolving as the years pass, and sometimes helping others who faced some of the same issues helps a person move forward. Local residents Judy and John Champ, whose son Conner died in 1994 — just a year after being diagnosed with brain cancer — find solace in helping other families with very sick children. They started Conner’s Cause for Children in 1995 and today they keep the organization alive with the assistance of friends, donors and a board that organizes three events a year. Right now, they’re making final preparations for “Summer Breeze,” a luncheon, boutique and auction set for 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 2 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The gathering will feature Elin Stebbins Waldal, an award-winning local author who will talk about “Midlife in Full Swing – What are you doing for the rest of your life.” Harpist Julia Marie Schorn, a Canyon Crest Academy senior and prin-

Conner Champ at age 3 cipal harpist of the Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia of the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, will perform. Proceeds from this event will benefit Conner’s Cause for Children, which helps families with the monumental task of caring for a child with a lifethreatening illness. Judy Champ talked about how their life was turned upside down when they found out Conner, then 4, had only a year or two to live. “You barely have the

strength to breathe when you know your child is dying,” she said. John Champ is a graphic designer and the couple had what his wife said was “normal” income and they had insurance. “But so much is not covered by insurance,” Judy said. Parents of Conner’s preschool friends pitched in and held an event that raised more than $42,000 to help them out. After Conner died, there was still money in the fund so they decided to use it to “help other kids,” Judy said. “The last thing you want to worry about is money … You want to be comfortable and be with your child and love that child.” Today, Conner’s Cause fills a niche not met by other nonprofits, providing small things like gas and grocery cards, paying hotel and airline bills, she said. Sometimes Executive Director Carol Del Signore will even call an insurance company and ask for assistance. All of the children served are under 18 and

live in San Diego, Imperial and parts of Riverside County, but come to San Diego for their care. One family now getting assistance from Conner’s Cause has two children with severe medical issues, Judy said. Their young daughter has had 50 surgeries for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis and their son has Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy and is followed by a clinic in Ohio, as well as a drug trial at UC Davis. On top of that, the parents both lost their jobs last year. Keeping Conner’s Cause going takes a lot of work and a lot of small donations, said Del Signore. They get a few grants from other foundations but no public funding so events like the June 2 Summer Breeze — which is expected to be sold out as it was last year — play a big part in their ability to help families. Even if people can’t join them for the June 2 event, donations of a Target, gas or grocery card are appreciated. The event will feature 10 vendors with every-

Among the items is a fournight stay at Mountainback Condominiums in Mammoth in a condo that

sleeps eight to 10 people. Event sponsors include Robert Kearney, M.D.; Tonya Paul, Masterpiece Realty; Karen Penn, Avon Cosmetics; Laurie Chamberlin, Xocai Healthy Chocolate, and Total Woman Gym in Encinitas. “It’s an opportunity for friends to get together for an elegant Sunday afternoon of lunch and shopping for a great cause,” Del Signore said.

Patrons relax and watch people frolicking at the beach across the street, while chatting with their neighbors over the sounds of light adult alternative melodies, and sipping mugs of Pumpkin Spice Coffee Latte. Meanwhile, their kids keep busy with crayons and paper. When the weather is consistently warm, the glass windows are removed and the plastic is rolled up, converting the dining room into a patio. The food itself is whole food-based and simple, and many of the dishes are prepared by grilling or steaming. “You can pick out (the ingredients) one by one if you have a refined palate,” owner Gabe Wheeler said. “It’s simple, but in a way complex, because of the time (it takes to prepare).” The Naked Cafe makes its own breads and sauces and can customize items as needed. A legend on the menu — which is identical

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.

■ This week’s recipe: Naked Café’s Papaya and Mango Mint Salsa at all four of the restaurant’s locations — identifies vegan and gluten-free entrees, along with products that contain nuts. It breaks down its dishes into several categories, such as “Look Good Naked” — foods that are more “figure-friendly.” “You know how many calories you’re taking in,” Wheeler explained. These include Wheeler’s favorite, the Soy Chorizo, Avocado & Egg White Burritos with black beans, green onions, tomatoes and salsa wrapped in whole-grain tortillas; and the Pesto Scramble featuring four egg whites combined with pesto, green onions and diced tomatoes, and served with grilled zucchini, mixed baby organic greens and a whole-grain spinach tortilla.

The day is winding down in the Naked Cafe’s dining room/patio. Then, there’s the “Naked Experience” foods, which aren’t quite as “light,” but still stay true to the simplicity concept. For example, the Green & Red Pagoda is composed of rosemary toast layered with pesto, soy sausage, two over-medium eggs, avocado, artichoke hears and sun-dried tomatoes, and it comes with a side of mixed baby greens. The “Infused Dishes” are mildly spicy and include Sesame Ginger Chicken Soft Tacos that can be substituted with tofu. The filling is enveloped in two whole-grain tortillas with baby greens and Thai peanut sauce, and served with black beans and coconut brown rice. Customers who want a bit more control

over their foods can opt for build-your-own sandwiches and wraps. First, they select meat or vegetables; then the shell; next is the spread; and finally, there’s the “accessory” (aka side). For breakfast, patrons have the ability to choose between thick stacks of Gen. X Buttermilk or Gen. Y Organic Whole Grain Pancakes, and then pick from groups of toppings. A sweet choice where syrup is optional is the Banana, Blackberry with thick chunks of the yellow fruit and whole berries. Those who may not be able to finish their meals are encouraged to bring their own containers for leftovers, if possible. Oh, and for those who are left wondering about the dress code: Yes, clothing is required.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Caring Transitions helps clients through difficult times in a variety of ways BY DIANE Y. WELCH A line of about 80 people gathered on the steps of a Point Loma classic 1920s Spanish Colonial-style home recently. The occasion was an estate sale and the treasure seekers had stood in line well before the opening time of 9 a.m. It was the start of a steady stream of customers who wove their way through the home’s many rooms packed wall-to-wall with furnishings, lighting fixtures, clothing, knickknacks and other items collected over the lifetime of the former homeowner who had relocated to a nursing home. Staging the sale were the staff of Caring Transitions, employees who are carefully chosen, background-screened, insured and bonded by Will Fuller, CEO of the company. Like the family of this Point Loma client, Fuller had also witnessed his own family members struggle through transitions that come along as part of life’s journey. And as a result he founded his company. The four “Ds” as Fuller

From left, Will Fuller, Peggy Hammond, Amy Magers and Susie Fuller. calls them – death, divorce, disease and down sizing – impact millions. Caring Transitions acts as an onsite advocate, keeping a client’s best interests at heart. “Our focus is to minimize the stress and maximize the returns while helping clients through a difficult time,” said Fuller. Services include sort-

ing and de-cluttering; downsizing and senior relocations; packing and moving; sale or dispersal of personal property; estate sales; online auctions; coordination with attorneys and realtors; coordination with medical professionals and contractors; and clean out and preparation of home for sale or rental.

The business concept started about nine years ago when Fuller helped his parents downsize from a large family home in Los Angeles to a “right size” home in San Diego that was closer to him and to their medical facility. Then he went through a transition personally, about six years ago, when there was an illness

in his immediate family, resulting in his own downsize. Fuller, a native of Kansas, with a background in customer service and marketing, and a former account executive for the North County Times, said at that same time he was also looking for a business opportunity. Because of its national reach, Caring Transitions franchises across state borders are able to assist each other with relocations that come in and out of their respective states. It was this intrastate support that prompted Fuller to invest in the franchise and create Caring Transitions, La Jolla. As part of its servicepackage the company will professionally pack customers’ items and create a space plan to make sure that existing items fit the new home and then help with the resettlement for clients coming into the San Diego area. “We’ll set up their closets, their bathroom, linen closets, kitchens so that when the client walks into this new home it mirrors the one they just left. That way they feel so comfort-

able they can go out and start meeting people immediately without the worry of unpacking, and not living out of boxes for weeks,” Fuller said. The company services all of San Diego County but has a strong reach to the North County coastal area and La Jolla. And Fuller predicts more business ahead as 79 million baby boomers turned 65 in 2011. “That’s about 10,000 people turning 65 every day in the USA,” he said. It’s a daunting thought that each of those families must face a major change at some point, said Fuller. “But we have proven systems in place whereby we can remove a lot of the stress – and a lot of times, the arguments – out of coping with these often overwhelming major life-changing transitions.” Visit www.estatemovelajollaca.com to get more information about Caring Transitions’ services or call Will Fuller at (858) 7682000.

Since 2010, the Teen Driving Safety 5k Team comprised of SDUHSD students, has put on annual events to help raise awareness of the possible dangers of inexperienced and/or distracted teen driving. It has raised over $5000 for the cause and hopefully changed the habits of some potentially distracted young drivers. This annual event has been a 5k run/walk at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas followed by a booth fair with various organizations represented. However, this year, Moonlight Beach is under construction so the event venue and format has been changed. Speakers from several public agencies and individuals who have been impacted by tragic accidents resulting from irresponsible driving will be featured again this year. It is to be held as a fair with speakers, booths, food and festivities. All SDUHSD and EUSD families are welcome to attend; the event is free and open to the public. There will be music and free food for those who stay through the speakers. To RSVP on Facebook, go to http://goo.gl/Objxs.

Learn how to prepare for Medicare costs in retirement at May 23 ‘Coffee and Conversation’ event in RSF Carter Financial will host Fidelity’s Regional Vice President Jeremy Palac on May 23 in RSF when he will lead an informative seminar about preparing for healthcare costs during retirement. The presentation will explain Medicare cost and coverage options, healthcare resources, and the importance of advance planning to lower costs. Most people don’t realize Medicare covers much less than traditional employer plans. Even when you are covered by Medicare and any other health insurance, you still are going to have to pay for some costs. Costs may include the Part B premium for physician services, Part D premium for prescription drugs, deductibles, co-insurance, and the cost of benefits that are not covered, such as vision exams, hearing aids and long term care. Medicare is the federal insurance program for Americans age 65 and over, and the disabled. Basic Medicare comes in two parts: Part A which provides coverage if you’re hospitalized; and Part B which provides coverage for doctor visits, outpatient costs such as physical therapy, plus some preventive costs. Medicare Part C, known as Medicare Advantage, is a private plan run through Medicare that provides an alternative to Parts A and B. If you want it, you have to purchase it. Medicare Part D provides prescription drug coverage. It is a separate policy that you must buy from a private insurer. Be prepared for rising healthcare costs and longer retirement. Learn how to create a plan to ensure that your healthcare and other essential expenses are covered during retirement. Please attend the event on Thursday, May 23, from 8 - 9 a.m., at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. There will be no charge to attend. To attend, RSVP to Deana Carter at (858) 756-1566 or DCarter@CarterFinancial.biz. Palac’s presentation is part of the “Coffee and Conversation” series sponsored by Carter Financial. The Carter Financial office is located in the Rancho Santa Fe Village, at 6013 La Granada.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Popular Burger Lounge a hit since opening at Flower Hill Promenade BY KAREN BILLING One of the most often used “buzz” terms in the restaurant world right now is “fast casual”— an eatery where the food comes out quick but is high in quality and served up in a space that, while relaxed, treats every customer as a valued guest. Burger Lounge, the latest new business to open up in the refreshed Flower Hill Promenade, sits comfortably in that fast casual niche. With its growing chain of restaurants, the Lounge offers the “original grass-fed burger” — healthy and authentic tastes, sustainable and green business practices and “superlative” guest services. “Our goal is that every guest leave happier than when they arrived,” said Robert Lane, marketing director. The first Burger Lounge opened in La Jolla in 2007, founded by J. Dean Loring and Mike Gilligan. The son and grandson of butchers, Loring started his first restaurant company at age 17 with a remodeled cable car/ food truck in San Francisco. He ran a burger restaurant in Humboldt County before coming south and opening Cody’s in La Jolla in 1998 – but he always wanted to get back into the burger business. With his neighbor Gilligan, a banker, he opened the Burger Lounge in La Jolla, the first of what would be seven San Diego-area eateries. In addition to Del Mar, there are locations in Hillcrest, Kensington, Little Italy, Coronado and the Gaslamp. There are now 10 Burger Lounges open and one under construction in Brentwood, as the restaurant broke into the crowded Los Angeles market a year and a half ago. Burger Lounge restaurants can be found in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and West Hollywood. “North County San Diego is a natural fit for the progression of our company. We’re very selective about the locations we pick, it has to be a good mix of residential, commercial and tourism,” said Lane. “With the recent remodel of Flower Hill and the commitment the management has made to upgrade, we felt like this was a good place for us to be.” The restaurant has an outdoor patio with orange umbrella-covered tables and inside the look is sleek and modern with orange vinyl booths, dark wood benches and white tabletops. Customers order at a walk-up counter but Burger Lounge is known for its full service after the order, with staff circulating to offer “superla-

Burger Lounge opened on April 19 in Flower Hill Promenade. Photo/Karen Billing tive” service. One of the restaurant’s mottos when it comes to the menu is “no junk all food”— the burgers are handcrafted with 100 percent fresh, single source American grass-fed beef. “The grass-fed beef movement has become more prevalent as consumers are paying more attention to the food they put in their body, especially in the fast casual space,” Lane said. The great thing about having relationships with the partners the Burger Lounge owners source their ingredients from is that they’re able to develop the types of products they would like to have. They worked with their cheese company Rumiano Cheese (the oldest family-owned cheese company in the state) to develop a line of grass-fed organic cheeses. Everything at Burger Lounge is scratch-made. “The whole menu isn’t organic but it is as sustainable and organic as it can be from our proprietary bun recipe to our house-made 1000 Island dressing,” Lane said. The result is a taste that is unmistakably authentic. The most popular burger on the menu is the signature Lounge Burger, which comes with choice of organic American or cheddar cheese, fresh or grilled onion, lettuce, tomato and 1000 Island dressing. Burger Lounge also does a free-range turkey burger and an organic quinoa veggie burger, made with quinoa, brown rice, corn, zucchini, garbanzo beans and carrots. “This is a great veggie burger, it’s not a beef wannabe,” Lane said. “It stands alone as a great menu item.” Side options include French fries and onion rings cooked in 100 percent refined peanut oil and, as it is called on the menu, a “nice little side salad.” Burger Lounge also offers “truly healthy salads” as an entrée choice: A fresh

The star of the eatery’s Lounge Burger is the fresh, single-source American grass-fed beef. vegetable salad and an organic quinoa salad packed with quinoa, spinach, kale, arugula, roasted baby squash, corn, tomato, red onion, toasted almonds and feta with a housemade smoked tomato vinaigrette. Organic cane sweetened Maine Root sodas are on tap, as well as local craft beer and premium wine. The menu also includes chocolate, vanilla, coffee and brownie shakes made exclusively with Dreyer’s ice cream. The menu is kept relatively simple but Burger Lounge does offer a limited edition burger series that changes with the seasons. In season right now is the spring lamb burger, with melted asedero cheese, jalapeño relish and tomatillo green chile aioli. Other limited editions have included game such as bison, boar and elk. Since the April 19 opening at Flower Hill Promenade, Burger Lounge has enjoyed a wonderful response and Lane said it is proof of the perfect fit. “Over the last two years the majority of our growth existed in Los Angeles and this is the first San Diego store to open in the last two years,” Lane said. “It’s nice to open in a city where the brand is wellknown and well-received.” Visit Burger Lounge at 2720 Via de la Valle in Flower Hill Promenade, open every day from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit burgerlounge.com

Your Family Matters: No pain, no gain BY DR. KEITH KANNER Change is a conscious choice that often times is conquered by unconscious baggage. Take smokers for example. Most people who smoke cigarettes know that they will eventually Dr. Keith Kanner kill them and want to “quit,” but can’t. Why? Because there are underlying conflicts that keep the person “hooked” and any change is experienced as terrifying. Yep, that’s right. Change is terrifying even if it’s in the best interest of the person. This is because the unknown is just that. Unknown. Based on each person’s experiences, the future may be bright or dark. People with a generally positive attitude manage change better than those who have had their hard knocks. Either way, change is a wrench in the spokes of a person’s daily homeostasis. So, change involves conscious choice and focusing on something new, something different. Something uncomfortable. Most people seem to live in the past or the future. The intention of this is predictability, which is in a way adaptive. Past experiences give a person some sort of a road map which reduces anxiety on the one hand, but then biases the person to look at new situations as just that, new. Living in the future once again is a mental attempt to gain some sort of control. The problem, however, is that if you don’t have a crystal ball, you are 50 percent likely to predict the wrong outcome. But, then again, predicting is an attempt to control. Living in the past tends to make

most people feel sad or unfulfilled. Living in the unpredicted future usually makes a person feel anxious. Living now is just that. Here is where change fits in. Not going backwards or forwards often leaves a person feeling “strange.” Not going backwards or forwards is painful. Habitually, people go one way or the other. Stopping that pattern is painful. But, when one experiences the mastery of the present they feel better. They feel stronger. In fact, they are more attentive to the task at hand. Managing what is the immediate quest alleviates anxiety and also promotes self esteem. When I treat kids with ADHD and I can get them to stay present, they overcome their anxiety which is at the root of their inattention. Change is painful but necessary. Growth is based on overcoming the hurdles of life. But, when a person jumps that hurdle and focuses on the next one, they get faster and stronger. So, put the past behind you and stop trying to predict the future. Change is now. It may be painfully unfamiliar, but worth it. Dr. Kanner is a board certified clinical child, adolescent and adult psychoanalyst. He is also the host of Your Family Matters which is a media brand broadcasting on TV, radio, and the Internet. Locally, Dr. Kanner and Your Family Matters is part of San Diego 6’s San Diego Living Show on Friday mornings, while Your Family Matters Radio is broadcasted through UT Radio & UT-TV where Dr. Kanner is also part of the news team as the Mental Health Host.

desserts like key lime tart or pastries can be paired with a pot of tea for $8, a $4 beer or a $5 glass of house wine. “(The happy hour) will be good for people who work here or for people to meet over high tea,” Jahanguiri said, With the lunch and dinner menus, Jahanguiri has aimed to beef them up with more entrée options. Now in addition to sandwiches and salads for midday munching, there are entrees such as beef short ribs, grilled salmon, blackened tilapia and shrimp scampi. “The chicken avocado wrap has been very popular, as has the Cobb Salad,” Jahanguiri said. Jahanguiri said people told him they veered away from the restaurant for dinner in the past because there weren’t enough options. He’s tried to change that by serving up entrees such as chicken piccata, pork chops, duck breast, grilled salmon, veal loin, filet mignon and aged prime New York steak. Additionally, making use of that new wine cellar, there are over 70 wines on the menu at a variety of price points. Rancho Santa Fe Bistro is located at 6024 Paseo Delicias, #C, RSF, 92067; (858) 7561221.
