RSF School District to move sixth grade into middle school this fall BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District is incorporating sixth grade into its middle school this fall, a move that is in line with the new Common Core State Standards that breaks down elementary and middle school as K-5 and 6-8. The school board approved the change at a special meeting on May 7. The move will also come with a new administrative position that will be a middle school principal. “We are in a huge advantage to have a K-8 school,” said District Superintendent Lindy Delaney, noting all of the neighboring districts are K-6 and, with the new Common Core standards, the RSF School District’s sixth grade is almost in a “no- man’s land” in terms of the standards structure. The largest school dis-

tricts in the city, San Diego Unified and Poway Unified School Districts, are already in the K-5 for elementary and 6-8 for middle school formats. Delaney said more districts may consider making the change as the standards are adapted in 201415. Delaney said bringing sixth grade into middle school offers some great collaborative opportunities for the middle school staff. “The middle school staff is excited to have the six grade be a part of what they’re doing,” Delaney said. Delaney said the change will allow more advanced sixth graders a chance to work with seventh grade teachers. In addition, sixth graders will be able to participate in certain team sports and they will move to a block schedule that allows them to pick an

RSF School District board OKs purchase of more iPads BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board voted to put iPads into more students’ hands at its May 1 meeting, approving the purchase of 250 new devices for increased deployment for second through sixth grades. The $103,080 purchase will mean there will be 1:1 iPad deployment at grades fifth through eighth, and 2:1 deployment at the second through fourth grade level. Kindergarten through first grade will continue a program of six per classroom. One parent in attendance voiced concern about rolling out the iPads to the younger grades as she said the “jury was still out” on their effectiveness. Parent Beth Nelson said before the district adds more iPads she wants to see more information on if they have improved students’ test scores, bettered computer skills or have been a help or hindrance in the classroom. “It has been anything but productive

for our seventh grader,” Nelson said. “It’s very distracting, especially the chat feature, it’s difficult for her to manage her time and it will only be more difficult for fifth and sixth graders because they’re less mature.” Nelson also expressed concerns about the risk of loss or damage with younger students, and also noted that working with an iPad has been an added stress as her daughter lost work on her device twice due to software upgrades. District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said she was sorry that Nelson’s experience has been less than stellar, but said that overall complaints and incidents have been few. Admittedly, some work has been lost due to upgrades and, by a horrible coincidence, it happened twice to Nelson’s daughter. “The reality is we’ve had problems and the number is way too high,” said Ben Holbert, the district’s technology director of the See iPADS, page 26

RSF Association, Garden Club members approve of clubhouse sale, vote shows BY KAREN BILLING The response for the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s purchase of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club’s clubhouse has been positive, according to advisory votes by both the RSF Association and the RSF Garden Club. In March, the Association announced

plans to purchase the village clubhouse for $2,369,250. According to RSF Association Manager Pete Smith, of the 786 ballots returned on the advisory vote, 667 approved of the sale. The Garden Club received a 92 percent approval rate in its vote — of the 148 returned

ballots, 136 were in favor of the sale and 12 were opposed. “(The results) are highly encouraging, especially for this board who likes to be in tune with its members,” said RSF Association President Roxana Foxx. “It’s a clear statement of what the community wants to see,” Smith said.

2013-14 RSF Association budget mailed; hearing set BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s 2013-14 budget was mailed recently to the membership for review, and a budget hearing will be held Wednesday, May 22, at 9 a.m. in the RSF Association boardroom. Any member is welcome to attend. The budget won’t be finalized until the RSF Association’s June 20 board meeting. Steve Comstock, RSF Association chief financial officer, said that with the budget they are recommending the assessment rates will remain the same for 2013-14 at 14 cents per

$100 of assessed [property] value. Of the 14 cents, 11.5 cents will go to general services and 2.5 cents will go into the Covenant Enhancement Fund. The RSF Tennis Club will not increase its schedule of fees and is looking at a $140,000 line item to re-surface two of its courts. The RSF Golf Club will see a 6 percent increase in dues structure and nominal greens fee changes. With the RSF Garden Club purchase, Comstock said the Association is budgeting that the clubhouse breaks even next year.

Buzz: RSF Association project updates BY PRESIDENT ROXANA FOXX, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD Good news â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as we approach the end of the fiscal year, many of the proj- Roxana Foxx ects that we have been working on for the last 12 months are coming to a positive conclusion. Of those, the most significant project is the purchase of the RSF Garden Club property. Many of us spent a great deal of time working out the details with the Garden Club board before we took this acquisition to an advisory vote of the membership. The results of that vote were overwhelmingly positive as 85 percent of Association voting members were in favor of the purchase. Additionally, when the Garden Club polled their membership, they found that 92 percent were in favor of selling the property to the Association. The next step in the process will be to finalize changing the Covenant zoning on the two legal parcels that make up the Garden Club property. This is a necessary step to allow for Association ownership and membership

use. We have already completed the first step of this process, which was to secure written permission from at least 67 percent (we easily got 70 percent) of the neighbors within 500 feet of the property. We are now in a position to formally notify the membership of the pending zoning change. Once the notification has occurred, there will be a 30-day period to allow the membership the opportunity to file a petition in opposition to this new zoning. Should such a petition be filed, the item will go to a formal vote of the membership. As an aside, I would note that based on the results of the advisory vote, it may seem like formal notification is an unnecessary step. However, in addition to Regulatory Code requirements, our Association board believes that it is far better to provide additional notice and information rather than to under disclose. If no petition is filed in opposition, we should be in a position to close this historic purchase by the end of June. The Golf Club has been working for some time on updating the Tree Plan component of their Course Master Plan. That revised plan was the subject of a community meeting that was held

on April 3. Based on the input that the Golf Club board received at that meeting, they have decided to rework the Tree Plan and include it in an updated Master Plan. The new Master Plan will include all landscape aspects of the course, including trees, plants and waterways. The original Master Plan was approved by the Golf Club membership, Art Jury and the Association board back in 2001 after a great deal of community input and the dissemination of information by the Golf Club. The Golf Club will be following the same process that they followed in 2001 with a series of Golf Club membership meetings and meetings with the general Association membership to discuss their proposal. The final plan will require approval by both the Art Jury and the Association board. Finally, within the next month, every Association member will be receiving a community survey that is intended to generate a better understanding of the makeup of our community and what services and community amenities our members would like to see in the future. Please take a minute or two to fill out the survey as it will help chart our efforts for several years to come.

Fire season off to busy start â&#x20AC;&#x201D; RSF officials urge caution, preparedness California fire officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations of a busy fire season are already being realized. Last week in particular there was an increase in the number of fires burning throughout Southern California, including San Diego County. Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) firefighters were dispatched to the largest of the first, the Springs Fire in Ventura County, last week as part of a California Office of Emergency Services type I strike team. They assisted with structure protection and fire suppression efforts. Although the fire activity has subsided and Southern California has received some much-needed rain, the potential still remains for a large wildfire to occur in this area. Rainfall totals, which remain below average, and warm weather have contributed to the increase in dry fuels throughout the area. Locally, trees that are either diseased or dying have exacerbated the problem within the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to encourage everyone to be extra cautious this fire season,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Michel, Fire Chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By taking a few precautions, homeowners can do a lot to protect their property, home, and family.â&#x20AC;? One of the most important things a homeowner can do is create and maintain a defensible space around their home. Clear-

ing out the dead and dying vegetation as well as thinning gives firefighters a safe place to make a stand against threatening flames, which helps save homes and minimize property damage. Removing combustible items away from your home will also help protect your home during a wildfire. Trash cans, firewood, tree branches, and any other combustible items that can catch on fire should be at least 10 feet away from any structure. Groundcover such as mulch should be kept at least 12 inches away from structures. Cleaning out the gutters on a regular basis will minimize the chance of your roof catching on fire. Dead leaves, twigs, and other debris that collect in rain gutters are easily ignited by flying embers. Homeowners should also review their insurance policy and make sure they understand its scope. What is covered? What is not covered? How would one go about filing a claim? The more a policy holder knows before an emergency, the better prepared they will be should a disaster occur. For more information on protecting your home from wildfires, as well as other life safety topics, please visit the RSFFPD website, www.rsf-fire.org. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; RSF Fire Department

RSF group trail hikes begin this week Community trail hikes launched this week on May 8 in Rancho Santa Fe with a goal to cover every part of the 50-mile Covenant trail system by the end of the summer. RSF Association Manager Pete Smith will lead the weekly hikes beginning at 4 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month. The walking group will meet before 4 p.m. in the upper parking lot of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. A special room will be set aside at the club for post-hike cool downs with snacks and drink specials. Participants are encouraged not to bring dogs.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Perceived threat results in extra security for elephant rides at this year’s SD County Fair BY JOE TASH Extra security and surveillance will be in place at the elephant rides at this year’s San Diego County Fair, after a member of the fair’s governing board reported what he perceived as a threat conveyed by a local attorney. The elephant rides, which have been an attraction at the fair for the past 30 years, have become controversial in recent years. In 2011, following a two-hour hearing with testimony on both sides of the issue, the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds, voted 4-3 to continue the rides, but to consider cancelling them after the 2014 fair. Elephant ride opponents spoke again at the 22nd DAA’s March meeting, when the contract with Have Trunk Will Travel, which operates the elephant rides, came up for renewal. The board voted unanimously to approve the contract for this year’s fair, which begins on June 8. Concerns about a possible threat arose after a meeting in April between 22nd DAA board member Fred Schenk, and two local attorneys, Howard Finkelstein and his law partner, Jeffrey Krinsk. At the Tuesday, May 7 22nd DAA board meeting, Schenk said he was told by Finkelstein that if the board did not cancel the elephant rides and something happened, Schenk, the fair board and the governor would be held accountable. “He was in my view reporting a potential risk to fair-goers,” Schenk said at Tuesday’s board meeting. After the meeting with Finkelstein, Schenk said, he reported the incident to fellow board members, and also called the governor’s office inform them what had happened. Members of the 22nd DAA board are appointed by the governor. Finkelstein, who did not attend the 22nd DAA board meeting, confirmed that he met with Schenk, with the purpose of informing him about information that had surfaced regarding the treatment of elephants at Have Trunk Will Travel’s Riverside County training facility. Several years ago, an undercover video shot at the compound allegedly showed trainers abusing elephants with heavy metal hooks and electric shocks. Company officials, however, have repeatedly denied harming elephants in any way, and said that investigations by government agencies have not found any wrong-doing. Finkelstein, who said he is involved in animal welfare issues, denied threatening Schenk. He said he commented that it would be horrible if something did happen involving the elephant rides, but insisted he has no knowledge anyone planning to disrupt or interfere with the rides. “If he took that as a threat, I apologize. I didn’t threaten him. I didn’t mean it as a threat,” Finkelstein said. Finkelstein did say that he believes the rides are “arcane, antiquated and obviously dan-

New RSF Golf Club membership categories seen as a success BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club Manager Al Castro said they are close to filling the 10 approved memberships in the new junior executive membership category. Castro appeared before the RSF Association board on May 2 to request an additional 10 memberships in the junior executive membership category once the club fills its first 10 memberships. The junior executive membership category, approved by the RSF Association in January, allows for new members to spread their $50,000 enrollment fee into installments before they reach age 48. The majority of members in the category are in their early 40s, so they are spreading out the fees for three to six years (the maximum is 10 years). The members still pay annual dues and are assessed the same dues as regular memberships. “It really does provide an opportunity for younger members to join [the club] sooner rather than later,” Castro said. “It’s been really well received. The junior executives are playing a lot more golf, bringing their kids in for lessons. The whole family has really gotten behind the category.” Castro also reported that the former resident member category is also doing well, with 29 members now enrolled. Members in that category pay a premium of 10 percent over regular dues and pay the full debt service assessment

RSF Association ﬁnes gas station, suspends membership privileges BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association has assessed a $575 Covenant violation fine on the gas station at the entrance to the village as well as suspended its membership privileges for 30 days. At the RSF Association board’s May 2 meeting, the board found that the station continues to be in violation of the regulatory code that states that no vehicles shall be stored when in view from the street or other residences. In past months, the Association staff reported that a jet ski, boat, trailer and RV (recreational vehicle) have all been stored for long periods of times in the lot behind the station at the entrance to the village. Typically such hearings are held in closed executive session but gas station representative Mark Rababy requested it be held in open session. Rababy was not present at Thursday’s hearing, however. Rababy said he was notified that the hearing would begin at 11 a.m. and said he showed up Thursday at that time and was told he had missed the hearing. The RSF Association maintains that he was notified of the correct date and time via certified mail and there was no time certain on the May 2 agenda. “I believe that we have been incorrectly assessed,” Rababy said. “I don’t believe that the regulations affect our business…We plan to fight it. I believe we were improperly notified and I want the chance for my voice to be heard.” See STATION, page 26

RSF Attack B96 Green competes in Cal South National Cup

The Cal South National Cup for Olders started April 20. In the Boys Under 16 Division, there were about 60 teams from different Southern California soccer clubs that originally competed. Each team was assigned to 14 group brackets. The RSF Attack B96 Green advanced out of their bracket and continues to compete in the elimination round. On May 5, the RSF Attack B96 Green played against FC Golden State BU16 White, a team from Pasadena. Under the direction of Coach Malcolm Tovey, RSF Attack defeated FC Golden State with the score of 2-1. The FC Golden State BU16 White team is currently nationally ranked #8 by GotSoccer.com. The victory of RSF Attack B96 Green against this nationally-ranked team illustrates the momentum of RSF Attack. RSF Attack B96 Green continues their quest for the National Cup in Lancaster this weekend.

You know, the one place that everyone agrees is where the style, the scene, the civic pride is. Where’s our Cedros, Del Mar Village or Little Italy? If nothing special comes to mind, perhaps it should. Maybe it’s time for Carmel Valley to have a place as signiﬁcant, as sophisticated, as engaging as the community itself.

Local scientiﬁc foundation receives major budget boost to launch project aimed at unlocking secrets of the human brain BY JOE TASH In 2011, a scientific foundation with ties to North San Diego County organized a meeting in London to brainstorm ways that neuroscientists, who study the brain and mind, and nanoscientists, who study the smallest objects imaginable, could collaborate on basic research. An intriguing idea emerged from that initial meeting — what if scientists could map the functions of the human brain, furthering their understanding of the complex circuitry that drives thought, memory, emotions, physical movement and other human behavior? Last month, the scientists got a major boost when President Barack Obama announced the BRAIN Initiative, earmarking about $100 million in his new budget to launch a project aimed at unlocking the secrets of the human brain. Scientists from San Diego County were closely involved in developing the ideas behind the BRAIN Initiative — which stands for Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies — and are also likely to participate in some of the research once the project gets going. Robert Conn, a local resident and president of the Kavli Foundation, met with Obama twice in the space of a few days in late March and early April, once to honor the 2012 recipients of the Kavli Prize for scientific achievement, and once regarding the BRAIN Initiative. An underlying message of the presidential attention,

President Barack Obama greets the 2012 U.S. Kavli Prize Laureates in the Oval Office, March 28, 2013. Clockwise from the President: Wegger Chr. Strommen, Norwegian Ambassador to the United States; Rockell N. Hankin, Vice-Chairman of The Kavli Foundation; Robert W. Conn, President of The Kavli Foundation; Kavli Laureates Mildred S. Dresselhaus, Cornelia Isabella Bargmann, Ann M. Graybiel, Jane X. Luu, David C. Jewitt and Michael E. Brown. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) said Conn, is that “science matters.” Conn, a former dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering at UCSD, has headed the Kavli Foundation for four years. The foundation was established by Fred Kavli, a Norwegian-born businessman who emigrated to the U.S. in the 1950s. If scientists can figure out how the brain’s trillions of neural connections work to coordinate and control mind and body functions, Conn said, they may also come up with treatments or cures for diseases ranging from Alzheimer’s to autism. Scientists also believe the research could lead to

technological breakthroughs in the interaction of humans and machines, said Miyoung Chun, Kavli Foundation vice president and organizer of the initial scientific meeting in London in 2011. Practical applications could include better prosthetic devices for amputees and people paralyzed by strokes. “If we’ve learned anything from scientific research over the last 100 years, in the end it makes an extraordinary difference to the quality of our lives, the health and well being of people and, maybe just as importantly, the economic health of a country,” Conn

RSF resident joins Planned Parenthood board Dr. Willa Fields, a resident of Rancho Sante Fe and widely published professor in the Graduate Nursing Leadership in Health Systems concentration at SDSU, recently joined the board of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest. She will be serving a three-year term on the 27-member board. Fields has a diverse background in clinical nursing, education, research, performance improvement, management, and information systems. Her research area of interest is exploration of methods and practices that improve patient safety and the provision of patient care. Specific investigations include the effects of information technology, evidence-based practice, and evaluation of hospital-based performance improvement activities. Fields was the vice president of Patient Care Systems in the Information Systems Department at Sharp HealthCare. “As a nurse and educator I am committed to broad public access to health care services,” says Fields. “As a woman and mother

of two adult daughters, I am equally committed to broad public access of reproductive healthcare. I am concerned about the limited access some women have to reproductive healthcare services, and the increasing governmental threat to this access. Advocacy ac- Dr. Willa Fields tivities hold the promise to expand and protect broad access to reproductive healthcare.” Dr. Fields’ other board experience includes Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), LightBridge Healthcare Research, and Journal of Nursing Care Quality. She has been published in International Journal for Quality in Health Care, Critical Care Nurse, American Journal of Infection Control, Journal of Health Information Management, and many others.

said. Chun said the excitement generated by the president’s announcement and the meeting with Obama at the White House was tempered by the realization of how much work needs to be done to make the project a success. “The scientists now have perhaps the greatest challenge of their entire career in front of them,” said Chun, who has helped author papers about the project and presented the idea

to contacts at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Obama and others have compared the brain mapping project to the Human Genome Project, which identified the genetic codes that determine our unique characteristics. In the case of the brain mapping project, scientists said, one of the key challenges is developing tools that can monitor and measure hundreds and thousands of neurons as they fire and interact in real time. Another challenge will be creat- Robert W. Conn ing computer programs that can analyze tremendous amounts of data gathered from observations of brain function. Ralph Greenspan, a researcher at UCSD who serves as associate director of the university’s Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind — one of 16 such academic institutes funded by the Kavli Foundation — attended the London meeting in 2011 and recalled that scientists talked for two days without making much progress. Then George Church, a researcher who worked on the Human Genome Project, said he had heard his colleagues discuss what they could do, but not what they dreamed of doing if they had the right technology. “That started the really lively conversation,” Greenspan said. A neuroscientist said he wanted to be able to record the activity of every neuron, or nerve cell, in the brain (estimated at 100 billion) at the same time. Current technology, said Greenspan, allows scientists to monitor and record about 100 neurons at a time. “We decided this was a great idea,” said Greenspan, whose own research involves studying the brains of fruit flies, which contain about 130,000 neurons. “The idea is this will spur the development of some useful technologies,” Greenspan said. Terry Sejnowski, a researcher at the Salk Institute who also has been involved with the brain mapping project, wrote in an email, “The investment being made over the next 15 years in the BRAIN Initiative will create new industrial activity that will rival the biotech industry.” Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, will be one of the leaders of the BRAIN Initiative. Along with the federal money proposed by Obama, private organizations have also pledged resources: $60 million annually from the Allen Institute for Brain Science; $30 million per year from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute; $4 million per year for 10 years from the Kavli Foundation; and $28 million from the Salk Institute.

Fairbanks Republican Women’s Salute to the Military event to feature Col. Martha McSally, USAF (ret.) Fairbanks Republican Women Federated will present its annual Salute to the Military on May 23, honoring Col. Martha McSally, USAF (ret) at an evening reception at a private home in Rancho Santa Fe. FRWF will also be presenting Dave Smith of Honor Flight San Diego a donation to benefit Honor Flight’s mission of hosting World War II veterans to visit the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. Col. Martha McSally is a pioneer. She is the first female United States fighter pilot to fly in combat, and the first to command a fighter squadron in combat as well. Col. McSally earned national recognition for successfully overturning a military policy requiring all U.S. servicewomen to wear a Muslim Abaya and headscarf when off base in Saudi Arabia. She ran unsuccessfully for the congressional seat in the 2nd district of Arizona, coming short of victory by the narrowest margin in the 2012 election cycle. Guests will gather at 5:30 p.m., enjoying margaritas, wine and a taco bar. Admission is $30 for FRWF members and $35 for those yet to join. Gift cards for military families will also be collected. RSVPs to www.fairbanksrepublicanwomen.com or at (858) 353-1929. Reservations are a must, to have your name at the gate. Address & directions will be given after RSVP.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Author says ‘good enough’ can be the new ‘perfect’ for today’s moms BY ASHLEY MACKIN Celebrating the second anniversary of her book “Good Enough Is The New Perfect: Finding Happiness and Success in Modern Motherhood” (published on Mother’s Day 2011) temporary local resident Hollee Temple uses Mother’s Day as a chance to share her advice for working moms on the seemingly impossible balancing act of motherhood and career, and feeling successful in both. Spending her sabbatical locally with her husband and two sons, Temple is a law professor at West Virginia University and public speaker on her book’s messages. “As a professor, I’m dealing with students in their mid-20s, who are also at the crossroads of ‘how am I going to manage my career and be a mom?’ ” To find out, she and writing partner Becky Beaupre Gillespie sent out surveys through their professional networks and social media. Temple said within 10 days, they received more than 1,000 responses spanning 42 states and various careers. The results of that survey, which Temple said includes extensive answers to open-ended questions, is that women find themselves in two groups, which she calls the “never-enoughs” and the “good-enoughs.” The never-enoughs are the textbook perfectionists, Temple said. “They had to be No. 1 in every element of their lives. They were killing them-

Hollee Temple with her husband, John, and sons Gideon, 10, and Hank, 8 at WindanSea beach. selves at work and killing themselves at ed being happier in marriages and home, feeling like they had to excel at friendships, while the never-enoughs were six times more likely to describe everything.” The good-enoughs, “were more their marriage as “not very good” or able to prioritize and realize it would even “a disaster.” “The never-enoughs didn’t take be impossible to succeed on every front at the same time, and were more time for themselves, they didn’t feel directed in how their time and energy they had that their life reflected their priorities, they didn’t have time for was used,” she said. Initially, Temple said she thought hobbies or friends and generally were the never-enoughs would have more less satisfied,” she said, however, they markers of success, because they were typically made more money. After sifting through these interso driven to be successful. In reality, the opposite was true, especially in re- views, Temple came to two conclulationships. The good-enoughs report- sions, which are the big messages in

the book. • The first, she said, is that doing your best is not the same as being the best. “I think a lot of people confuse those two. They think of … who looks the best, who works out the most, who makes the best meals for their (families), who only lets their kids eat food grown in the garden,” she said. “People have taken motherhood to such a competitive level these days, it’s like an Olympic event.” • The other message is, don’t chase some else’s definition of success. “You have to choose for yourself what success looks like and it probably won’t look like the success of your co-worker or neighbor or best friend. There are so many ways to be a good mom and … the way that they choose is probably the right way for them,” she said. One way for moms to relieve some of the pressure to be perfect is to choose, and focus on, their own priorities. Drawing from her own life, Temple said she is not crafty, she doesn’t knit and never will, but she likes to cook. “That’s what I prioritize.” She said people ask her what they should do to have better work-life balance. “Moms should not feel that it’s selfish to take care of themselves,” she often replies. “I hear that again and again – I’ll ask moms ‘When do you get time to relax?’ and a common answer is ‘the dentist chair.’ That’s not enough you time, you deserve more than that, you can’t be the kind of mom and the kind of professional you want to be if you don’t take time to recharge.” Giving what she considers adequate time for herself, her job and her children has helped her feel successful. She said she is constantly working on feeling successful in the one thing she considers most important, “I feel strongly that my kids are only going to be little once and I want to be there.” “Good Enough Is The New Perfect: Finding Happiness and Success in Modern Motherhood” is available on Amazon.com and was written by Temple and Becky Beaupre Gillespie.

Local resident provides life-changing experiences through custom safaris Aardvark Safaris Ltd. owner has visited Africa 40 to 50 times BY JOE TASH John Spence had tried running a restaurant, working in a ski resort and tending bar before he tagged along with some friends he met in Cape Town, South Africa, to visit Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. He soon landed a job as a white-water rafting guide on the Zambezi River, and on his days off, traveled to nearby wildlife reserves to look for lions and other exotic creatures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I fell in love with the whole safari thing,â&#x20AC;? said Spence, 44, who now lives locally with his wife, Emma, and the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two children, Jack and Lily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very lucky. Twenty years later and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still doing the dream.â&#x20AC;? The dream is running a safari company with offices in Solana Beach, England and Scotland. Working with a variety of tour operators, lodges and other agencies across 14 countries in Southern Africa, Spenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company, Aardvark Safaris Ltd., arranges custom safari trips for his clients. After his stint as a rafting guide, Spence returned to his native England, where he was hired by a fledgling safari tour company. He spent seven years shuttling back and forth to Africa,

TEAKWAREHOUSE

Kenya last summer to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The group of 16 relatives included three generations, from grandchildren as young as 8 to adults in their 70s. Part of the time, the group traveled on foot between camps â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with camels to carry their gear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they visited villages, where their children played soccer with local children. They also witnessed close-up the annual animal migration in Kenya, watching as the plains were covered with wildebeest, zebra and other animals as far as the eye could see, said Patty Queen. They even saw a cheetah making a kill and feeding her cubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain it to anybody, you have to see it for yourself,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the trip of a lifetime.â&#x20AC;? Another client, Susan Storti of Del Mar, traveled last fall with her husband, Bob Hajek, to South Africa, Botswana and Zambia. She said she was impressed by Spenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connections in Af-

John Spence with Team Del Mar at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania rica, and his ability to plan any kind of trip a traveler might desire. Storti and her husband opted to stay in upscale lodges rather than camp, traveling by bush planes that landed on dirt airstrips in remote regions. From there, they were met by jeeps sent by the game lodges. On safaris, they rarely encountered other tourists, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a real, true African adventure,â&#x20AC;? she said, describing Botswana as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last Eden.â&#x20AC;?

John Spence and locals rescue cows at Lake Latron.

Over the years, Spence has set up trips for families and people of all ages, even making special accommodations for people whose mobility is impaired due to cancer or other conditions. Traveling to Africa isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap, although Spence said he and his staff are sensitive to clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; budgets. An average safari trip of two weeks runs about $10,000 per person, plus air fare of between $2,000 and $2,500, he said. The minimum for a shorter trip, depending on the destination, is about $5,000 per person, he said. But people find the experience life-changing, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wow factor is off the charts,â&#x20AC;? Spence said.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Education Matters/Opinion Proposed boundary changes impacting Solana Santa Fe — and an update on the high school superintendent search BY MARSHA SUTTON The normally dormant Solana Beach School District suddenly roared to life with Marsha Sutton an explosive issue that attracted over 100 people to the April 25 school board meeting. As discussed in last week’s column, the proposal to change kindergarten in the Global Education program at Skyline School in Solana Beach from a modified day to a full day by adding nearly two hours of afternoon instructional time brought passionate defenders of the status quo to the boardroom to express their disapproval. We shall see how this issue is resolved in the coming months. But this was not the reason I attended that board meeting. I hadn’t attended an SBSD meeting in years, because the district’s agendas are, frankly, rather dull. This time, however, the agenda for the meeting on April 25, which did not include the kindergarten issue (the protest was a surprise), promised a few interesting items, including school boundary changes, grade configuration shifts and big ex-

penses. Caroline Brown, SBSD’s director of technology and new facilities, told the board that construction of the new school, Solana Ranch School in Pacific Highlands Ranch, is on schedule to open in the fall of 2014 for a projected 431 students in grades kindergarten through sixth. In preparation for the opening of the new school, attendance boundaries, not updated since 2004 when Solana Pacific School opened, were on the agenda. The district recommended that attendance areas be shifted from Solana Vista and Skyline schools in Solana Beach, to Solana Santa Fe School in Fairbanks Ranch, for residents in Rancho Pacifica, also known as Del Mar Highland Estates, and for the Polo Club and Morgan Run developments in Whispering Palms. This change would take effect this fall. The second boundary recommendation would assign residents of the Pacific Highlands Ranch communities to the new Solana Ranch School in the fall of 2014. Those neighborhoods include: Santa Barbara, Portico, Manzanita Trail, Santa Rosa, Arrabella, Crossing, Watermark, Hampton Lane and Bridgewater. Students in grades K-6

from these developments currently number 365 and attend Solana Highlands, Carmel Creek or Solana Pacific in Carmel Valley. The board expressed some concern about residents in the Santa Barbara development, as it is located farther west than the others, and suggested the district poll the community for residents’ thoughts. The school board will vote on boundary changes in June. Big money Law enforcement, consultants, city of San Diego staff and district personnel recently reviewed all six SBSD schools for proper levels of safety and security, and made specific recommendations. Providing window coverings, for an estimated $50,000 to $60,000, would improve safety during lock-down procedures by ensuring that intruders can’t see into classrooms, Brown said. Window coverings also protect property at night and will help deter thefts, which have plagued local schools in recent months. Lynch recommended approval, saying, “This would be money well spent.” The safety recommendations also included fencing. And lastly, as part of the district’s ongoing Technology Replacement Plan, upgrades and increased capacity are necessary to accommodate growing

network requirements districtwide, according to the board report. Brown said the equipment is not supported by vendors any longer, and it’s an end-of-life issue. The network infrastructure upgrades and hardware replacement are estimated to run $250,000, and the project will be completed this summer. All four items were approved by the school board unanimously and will now go out to bid. Brown said money has been set aside in a separate fund for all the projects. New local school leaders On May 13, San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Education will announce its choice to replace retiring superintendent Ken Noah. SDUHSD board president Barbara Groth said the deadline passed, and in closed session on May 1 the board reviewed 16 applications. That was the board’s first opportunity, she said, to see “who’s out there and who’s interested and what their qualities are.” The board narrowed down the applicants to three, to interview May 8. She wouldn’t say if there were any internal candidates. Groth said $26,000 was paid to the search firm Leadership Associates, and the open position was heavily advertised. “I’m pretty confident they got a

wide net out there,” she said. The search firm’s agreement stipulates no additional charge if the person selected leaves within one year, she said. After the interviews on May 8, Groth said the selection is made. “We make it that day as a board,” she said. “We deliberate and make it.” But the announcement doesn’t happen then. She said on May 13 board members will visit the home district of the selected candidate, “just to validate.” She said all five board members are prepared to travel, along with the heads of both the classified and certificated unions. The board will announce its decision after the visit. “We want to do this as soon as possible because people are on pins and needles,” Groth said. San Diego Unified, less than 24 hours after superintendent Bill Kowba announced his retirement, plucked elementary school principal Cindy Marten out from relative obscurity and named her to replace Kowba, without any community input – a move that shocked education leaders nationwide. In contrast, the much smaller San Dieguito district recently concluded a lengthy period of community input and received nearly 100 comments, Groth said. “We want this to be inclusive because we’re all going to

be involved and working together,” she said. Besides the usual comments about wanting someone competent with proven leadership and listening skills, Groth said the exercise allowed constituents representing many different groups to express their thoughts on what the district could do to improve. “This is a self-evaluation opportunity as far as I’m concerned,” she said. She said the board is paying attention to comments that indicate direction, weakness and what needs work. “There’s always nuances,” she said. “It’s subtle but it comes through.” “It’s a great opportunity to ask people what do they think, what they’re looking for and how the district is being run,” she said. The search firm brought together varied community and school district groups to discuss the direction of the district and its leadership. Groth said those focus groups included council members of neighboring cities, board members from feeder elementary school districts, parents, site councils, principals, classified staff, certificated staff, public focus forums and other groups.

ELEPHANT continued from page 3 gerous,” simply because children should not be placed on top of a two-ton elephant. Finkelstein said Schenk may be trying to discredit him to cover up what Schenk reportedly said at the lunch meeting was the real reason the board voted in March to approve the contract with Have Trunk Will Travel. In an email that has been widely circulated, Finkelstein wrote that at the

lunch, “Fred explained that the reason that the board can’t ban these rides is because it might lead to the discovery of the much more serious abuse of the horses by the trainers and jockeys at the Del Mar Race Track, which provides millions of dollars in revenue to the county.” After Tuesday’s 22nd DAA board meeting, Schenk denied Finkelstein’s characterization of his comments. Schenk said he did tell Finkelstein that although the Los Angeles and Orange County fairs banned elephant rides, San Diego is dif-

ferent because it has thoroughbred racing, and there are people opposed to the sport of horse racing. A board vote against elephant rides could be seen as a precedent for horse-racing opponents, Schenk said. Schenk said he believes the San Diego County Fair’s elephant rides will likely be phased out after September 2014, when new guidelines are expected from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums restricting contact between humans and elephants. Due to the perceived threat reported by Schenk,

Teen Volunteers in Action lauds its class of 2013 The 2013 Senior Send-Off for the founding chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action applauded its 2013 graduating class of 28 young men who have participated in over 900 events and accumulated 2,200 hours of community service. These high school seniors were honored at a celebration to recognize their achievements on May 5 at the Nativity School Activity Center. The focus of the afternoon was on the personal satisfaction associated with helping others instead of doing good deeds out of a sense of obligation. The 28 young men honored for their years of community service with TVIA were: Jacob Alsadek, Andrew Appleby, Dawson Bailey, Hunter Barrera, Tim Benirschke, Spencer Brewster, Chance Canedy, Christopher Carter, Aidan Clifford, Jack Condon, Aaron Ellis, Noah Gaarder-Feingold, Dillon Lerach, Sean McGrath, Zach McGrath, Quinton Mells, Mitchell Millar, Ian Moffit, George Nelson, Chase Pickwell, Connor Polk, Casey Reed, Connor Sears, Kade Shoemaker, Will Strauss, Stephen Tifft, Cole Tudor and Chris Watson. These seniors, all residing in the north coastal region of San Diego County, will be graduating from the following high schools: Torrey Pines High School, Canyon Crest Academy, Cathedral Catholic High School, Santa Fe Christian, La Costa Canyon High School, Pacific Ridge, Francis Parker, Rock Academy, Bishop’s School and La Jolla High School. “I am thankful to TVIA for the opportunities they have provided me,” said Chris

ably proud of themselves for making a real difference in the lives of so many people.” In the tradition of TVIA, all events, even a self-celebration, include a charitable component. To this end, TVIA members attending the Senior SendOff donated sheets, towels, toiletries and other items needed for college to San Pasqual Academy’s graduating seniors. Located in Escondido, San Pasqual Academy is a first-in-the-nation residential education campus designed specifically for foster teens.

continued from page 20 Carter, TVIA Leadership chair and Torrey Pines High School senior. “TVIA has given me the opportunity to give back to my community while learning many life lessons along the way.” Among his many TVIA events, Chris said some of the most meaningful includes serving meals to seniors and homeless families, repairing and renovating houses, working to protect the area’s natural lagoons, and supporting foster children. “Through these events, I learned that I am not so different from the people being served,” he said. “I also experienced the great feeling that one receives from volunteering, the humbling effect that volunteering provides and how fortunate I am to have so much in my life. “I have learned that those who are lucky enough to have [advantages] should give back to those in their community who have not been as fortunate – and that there are numerous opportunities available. You just need to find one that is meaningful to you.” In addition to community service, TVIA offers its members opportunities for professional development. “TVIA has also provided me with life lessons through the teen seminars that they have arranged for their members,” Chris said. “The speakers are provided to assist the members in their transitions from high school to the next independent stage in our lives. “I have attended lectures on such topics as automobile maintenance, basic cooking skills and tips on interviewing and essay writing. These seminars have equipped me with the basic life skills to help me move on to college and thereafter.” The Senior Send-Off recognized the many contributions made by this TVIA graduating class and celebrated their philanthropic efforts. Said Katherine Foster, president of TVIA, “I’m very proud of our graduates who have a greater understanding of and appreciation for helping others through community service and leadership opportunities. “This Class of 2013, these 28 remarkable young men, have contributed 2,200 hours of community service and can feel justifi-

Ranch and Coast Horse Show to be held May 7-12 Ranch and Coast Horse Show will take place May 7-12 at the Del Mar Horsepark, the Fairgrounds’ equestrian facility located two miles east of Interstate 5 at the intersection of Via de la Valle and El Camino Real.

SCHOOL continued from page 1 elective. Delaney said that while the middle school teachers were excited about taking in the sixth graders, she was one of the last to come around to the change. “I wanted to make sure we protect the sixth graders because they’re the youngest ones…it’s really important we take care of them emotionally,” Delaney said. “I think some may struggle with the block schedule, but that’s part of growth and maturation.” She noted that in the similar Poway district, the sixth graders in their middle school have adapted well to a block schedule. Delaney said she plans to meet with incoming middle school parents in the coming weeks to talk about

the changes and hear any potential concerns. As far as the new principal is concerned, Delaney said that the search would take about six to eight weeks. “We have the time to be patient if we don’t find the right person right off the bat,” Delaney said. “We want to find the right fit.” The board wondered about how the move will affect the sixth grade promotion ceremony, which has morphed from a humble pancake breakfast into a more formal event for both students and parents. Principal Kim Pinkerton said she would look into the possibility of a special promotion for this year’s fifth grade, although the end of the year is fast approaching on June 14.

STATION

Rababy disagrees with the Association’s definition of “storage” and said that the vehicles that are parked in the lot are in the process of being repaired, which is part of his station’s business. The RSF Association’s position is that it seems as though the vehicles stay “beyond the scope of a repair.” Rababy last appeared before the board for a hearing in September for the same violations. No enforcement action was taken and Rababy agreed to remove visual clutter when possible and to develop a landscaping plan to better screen the property. RSF Association board member Rochelle Putnam said Rababy told the Association he would provide a landscaping plan which the board said they have not received. Since then the Association has taken measures to screen where they can within the county right-of-way. RSF Association Assistant Manager Ivan Holler said the Association staff has been monitoring the situation since January. Throughout March they documented the extended presence of the equipment trailer, jet ski and boat. “The boat and jet ski were delivered to the station without authorization,” Rababy explained. Rababy said that they contacted the customers to tell them that the cost of repairs was more than the value of the vehicles and that they needed to pay for them to be towed off site. It took several weeks to get them off their property but they were eventually removed. Rababy said at the time the Association sent them a letter about the vehicles they were already in the process of trying to remove them. “We had 30 days to remove them and we removed them. The whole issue should’ve been dropped,” Rababy said. Holler said in early April an RV returned that they last saw in January and in mid-April there was a horse trailer present. The site was substantially cleared on April 15 before a scheduled April 18 meeting that was rescheduled to last week. However, then a motor home was later observed to stay several days. The site appeared to be cleared over the weekend of May 4-5.

continued from page 1 20 percent of work that has been lost. “We’ve done the best we can do this year but it’s not going to happen next year.” Holbert said it wouldn’t happen next year as the district approved purchase of a new mobile device management module, which will allow them to push applications through the air rather than take devices in for upgrades. He said as Apple can’t prevent individual users from doing operating systems upgrades, sometimes the devices were out of sync when they were turned in for upgrades and work was lost. In regards to Nelson’s concern about loss and damage, Delaney said there is still a lot to talk about when moving forward with the 5/6 deployment — it might be the case that the iPads don’t travel home with the students. Assistant Superintendent Cindy Schaub also addressed the concern about the iPad’s role in the classroom and its benefits. She said this year at the middle school level, with 1:1, there has been a high level of engagement; extended learning beyond the classroom; collaboration between stu-

dents; and increased volume in reading and writing. Schaub said that students keep their work organized in folders; keep track of calendars; and enjoy a paperless, digital exchange of assignments and data. “They’re communicating more and more with teachers, and engaging more with the content than when all they had in front of them was a textbook,” Schaub said. She noted teacher Maureen Cassarino had previously been “steadfastly against” using iPads for writers’ notebooks, preferring her students use the oldfashioned method of pen to paper. Schaub said that now there’s no way Cassarino would go back to the old method as the volume and quality has completely gone up this year due to the iPads. “Our students live in a digital world and we’ve got to respond to them and meet the kids where they are or we will become the dinosaurs,” Schaub said. She said use of the iPads also complement the Common Core State Standards requirements for multi-media presentations and analysis of digital sources, and also are a step toward he district’s goal of lighter backpacks.

Canyon Crest Academy senior named Rady Children’s Hospital ‘Junior Volunteer of the Year’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING The driven and compassionate Canyon Crest Academy teenager Alanna DePinto has been named the Rady Children’s Hospital Junior Volunteer of the Year. Alanna, 17, has been volunteering at Rady Children’s Hospital for the past three and a half years in the Gateways program, a speech therapy group for children with autism. She was surprised by the honor at an April 25 ceremony at the Doubletree hotel in Mission Valley. “It’s been such an eye-opening experience to work with kids who have autism and developmental disorders,” Alanna said. “It’s changed my perspective on life.” Melissa Sartori, a speech pathologist who has worked alongside Alanna for the last three and a half years, said that Alanna’s intelligence, charisma and drive helped her excel at supporting a very busy group of children. “Her dynamic personality makes her a favorite among many of the children,” said Sartori at the awards ceremony. “The children love working with her and greet her each week with excitement and enthusiasm and our whole department staff appreciates her positive attitude, her strong work ethic and her smile every week.” Alanna, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, has always loved working with kids. Four years ago she was looking for a way to stay busy during the summer as she was too young to work so Alanna and her friend, Kelsey O’Neill, started a summer camp for children called Fun Diego. They decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from their camp to Rady Children’s Hospital. As they learned more about the hospital, they also wanted to give back in some way but they had to be 14 before they could begin volunteer work so they bided their time until they met the age requirement and applied to be volunteers as soon as they could. Their camp ran for four summers. Since being accepted as a volunteer at Rady’s, Alanna has spent two hours every Monday for the last three and a half years with the Gateway group. Alongside staff, she works with a group of four children ages 4 to 6 with varying levels of autism. They do pretend play to aid in their social development, read and act out stories. Sartori said that Alanna really knows how to connect with the children on their unique levels.

CCA’s Alanna DePinto (center) was named the Rady Children’s Hospital Junior Volunteer of the Year. (Left) Melissa Sartori and (right) Shari Garrett. “She helps them learn how to use their imaginations, discover their creativity, broaden their language development, have fun and, of course, be successful,” Sartori said. Alanna admits that she wasn’t sure what to expect when she first started working with the group, thinking that it might be very hard or even very sad. But she found she learns so much from the children all the time and that she is able to foster wonderful relationships with them. “I went in with a mentality that it was going to be very

difficult to work with autistic kids but I have really emerged with a different understanding. It has been so rewarding and I am so lucky to work with them,” said Alanna of the kids she finds so funny and genuine. She has also been incredibly inspired by the speech pathologists that put in so much work every week to ensure that the children thrive. Once the children have progressed they move on to the next group so Alanna has experienced a lot of success as the children develop and move on. “It’s amazing to see so many kids progress and feel like we’re able to make a difference and help,” Alanna said. “She has really gotten a lot from the therapists, they are really incredible women,” said mom Tricia. “It’s been a wonderful experience for Alanna…it’s been interesting to watch her progress and figure out what she wants to do with her life.” In addition to her volunteer time at Rady’s, Alanna also volunteers as a tutor for Casa de Amistad in Solana Beach on Tuesday afternoons. She works one on one with a second grader who is really passionate about reading and school, and Alanna is enjoying building a relationship with her. On top of all those volunteer hours, Alanna also works at Golden Spoon and plays the piano. An excellent student, Alanna will attend Loyola Marymount University in the fall on a full-ride academic scholarship. Alanna had been considering majoring in psychology in college but now she knows for certain that she would like to work with children who have developmental disorders. At LMU she will double major in biology and psychology and then plans to go into pre-med with designs on becoming a developmental-behavioral pediatrician. Until she leaves for LMU, Alanna will continue to volunteer at Rady’s. She admits it will be hard to leave the kids and the program, but knows that her future is full of opportunities and possibilities — one of the main reasons why she picked LMU is its strong volunteer and service programs. Alanna said she is very grateful for the time she has spent at Rady’s. “It was so important for me to develop relationships with those kids, it’s broadened my perspective and has been an amazing experience and part of my life. I really feel like it shaped me and my goals for the future,” Alanna said.

Fans of fresh fare will find a feastful at Tender Greens BY KELLEY CARLSON ender Greens brings the outside inside. From the recycled woods in the decor to organic products from area farms, the restaurant takes an environmentally friendly approach to dining. The emphasis is on fresh ingredients, much of them obtained locally and around Southern California. “We try to give back to the community, make the best food possible, and support local farmers,” said Peter Balistreri, chef at the UTC location. “Everything comes from the farm to the fork.” Much of the fare is prepared in-house, including the cheese, mustard and ice cream. Tender Greens also does its pickling on site and cures its own bacon. The Charcuterie Board is a prime example of the restaurant’s capabilities, featuring thin slices of chile flake-and-fennel salami and Salami Point Loma (Rosemary and garlic), a silky-smooth chicken liver pate, pickled beets, celery stalks, olives, radishes, spicy mustard and roasted red peppers.

■ This week’s recipe: Tender Greens’ Quark Cheese peanuts, sesame dressing, cilantro, green onions and grated carrots. One of the items unique to the UTC location is the Steamer, which changes daily and consists of mussels or clams steamed in a pot. A specialty is the mussels with chorizo, Thai basil and cilantro in a slightly spicy broth, served with bread to sop up the juices. The signature item is the Hot Plate, in which customers have a choice of chicken, steak or tuna, served with mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables and a simple salad. There are similar selections for kids: Quesadilla, grilled-cheese sandwich, flatiron steak or grilled chicken — presented on a paper mat that includes puzzles and games.

Guests eat their ‘greens’ in the dining room with large windows and wood dividers. As for beverages, children can take delight in the natural sodas, while parents can indulge in local beers and wines. The dining room utilizes various types of recycled woods and organic materials. Large windows allow for plenty of natural light during the day. It’s enlivened with artwork by U.K. artist Jon Burgerman that some people describe as “bright” and “twisty,” along with the rhythms of world music. When the room is filled to capacity or the weather is pleasant, customers filter outside to the patio with awnings, heat lamps and succulents. The restaurant is next to the clock tower in UTC Mall, so guests will often hear performers in the main plaza nearby.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

For new Solana Beach music school, it’s all about rocking out BY ROB LEDONNE North County resident James Couzens has been a professional musician for the past 25 years. “I’ve been doing a lot of work playing with cover bands, and at the casinos,” he explained. “On top of that, I’m also a stay-at-home dad. When you’re a performer, the nights are always later and as a dad, the mornings are always earlier.” In addition to performing and being a father, Couzens also teaches music at Solana Beach’s Music Mart, and over the years has been hearing a similar question from parents whose kids were enrolled in instrument lessons: “They would always ask me how to get students to practice more, and the answer to that would be to put them into bands so they had a reason to practice.” From there, Couzens started doing band mentoring — fostering a small youth music scene in Solana Beach that regularly book gigs. “It’s been a very successful model,” he explains, and wanted to somehow expand it. The result of which has turned into the Rockademy, a new music school in Solana Beach that caters to musicians between the ages of 5 and 17, teaching them the ins and outs of instruments as varied as drums, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, and even vocals. In addition, Couzens notes he even “has some teachers who can teach band instruments and brass.” From a mere idea to May’s upcoming official opening, it’s been a long two-year process filled with planning and patience. “Just for the past year, we’ve been looking for the right space. We held out, and we’re very happy with the spot we finally secured,” Couzens says of the location in Solana Beach on 524 Stevens Avenue, right next to Rudy’s Taco Shop. “We’ve had nothing but support from both students and parents, and we definitely wouldn’t be where we are without the support of a lot of good people,” said Couzens, who noted that some parents even threw a fundraiser to

help offset start-up costs. “Now we’re getting the equivalent of soccer parents who get real into sports; these parents have been getting really into their kids’ bands and instruments, which is great. It’s all starting to take on a life of its own. I’m surprised nobody else has supplied something like this to the market yet.” For now, student lessons have been taking place at homes in surrounding areas, but once the Rockademy is fully up and running, Couzens imagines a building humming with the sweet sound of music, and hopefully a spurring bigger, successful music scene in Solana Beach filled with bands made up of varying ages and genres. “It wouldn’t surprise me if that takes place,” Couzens muses. “We already have places like the Belly Up here, so I think Solana Beach is ready. We have a real gifted group of kids. Once in awhile, you see little prodigies pop up, but they all set their goals and get there eventually.” When starting up the Rockademy, Couzens says he also couldn’t do it without the help of people such as Icarus Line, a Los Angeles native who’s played with Ian Austbry of classic English rock band The Cult, and area musicians Spencer Bromley and Jason DeCors, whom he calls his “right and left hands.” Along with music instruction, Couzens hopes that someday the Rockadamy will grow even more. “We’re going to release a CD with all of our students on it in November but, in addition, we might even start up small record label and start recording there soon.” At the moment, Couzens and his crew are feverishly working to get their doors open. “We’re doing ceilings today... it’s a great location. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a number of years. I’m glad we’re finally here.” For more information, check out their home on the web: www.TheRockAdemy.com

Love, loss and laughter converge in Globe’s ‘Be a Good Little Widow’ BY DIANA SAENGER The loss of loved ones is inevitable throughout life, but the experience can sometimes be made easier when we can laugh again or really understand our pain. Playwright Bekah Brunstetter explores this theme in the touching, quirky comedy, “Be a Good Little Widow,” directed by Hal Brooks for its West Coast premiere at the Old Globe Theatre. Melody (Zoë Winters) has recently experienced the best of times and the worst of times. She’s newly married and becomes a widow shortly thereafter when Craig (Ben Graney) dies. Also grieving over the loss is her Melody’s mother-in-law, Hope (Christine Estabrook), who takes on the role of comforter and mentor even though deep inside she’s mourning as well. Estabrook said she was excited to jump back into a stage play after filming a television pilot. She said “Be a Good Little Widow” is intense, but the script also has humor, and she found it somewhat cathartic. “I don’t have any children of my own, and when you play a role like this you realize what you’ve missed (motherhood), even though I have two wonder-

She’s spent

years mourning the death of Craig’s father, and now she must grieve for her son’s death, while also leading Melody through the sorrow and the drastic change in her life. “Hope is tightly wound but she has the best idea of the way to approach someone in this situation because she’s had a lot of experience,” Estabrook said. “She also wants her son’s memory to be honored in a certain way … Melody wants to raise him up as a guy – what he liked to eat, and more about his normal life. It’s grand versus individual, and that’s where Hope and Melody butt heads. It’s so unlikely they will ever get along … but we find solace in the strangest bedfellows.” Of the playwright, the Globe’s new artistic director Barry Edelstein said, “One of this theater’s most important jobs is to introduce San Diego audiences to the voices that will shape the next period in the American theater, and Bekah’s is surely one of those.”

Local foundation plays key role in birth of new brain mapping project BY JOE TASH In 2011, a scientific foundation with ties to North San Diego County organized a meeting in London to brainstorm ways that neuroscientists, who study the brain and mind, and nanoscientists, who study the smallest objects imaginable, could collaborate on basic research. An intriguing idea emerged from that initial meeting — what if scientists could map the functions of the human brain, furthering their understanding of the complex circuitry that drives thought, memory, emotions, physical movement and other human behavior? Last month, the scientists got a major boost when President Barack Obama announced the BRAIN Initiative, earmarking about $100 million in his new budget to launch a project aimed at unlocking the secrets of the human brain. Scientists from San Diego County were closely involved in developing the ideas behind the BRAIN Initiative — which stands for Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies — and are also likely to participate in some of the research once the project gets going. Robert Conn, a local resident and president of the Kavli Foundation, met with Obama twice in the space of a few days in late March and early April, once to honor the 2012 recipients of the Kavli Prize for scientific achievement, and once regarding the BRAIN Initiative. An underlying message

President Barack Obama greets the 2012 U.S. Kavli Prize Laureates in the Oval Office, March 28, 2013. Clockwise from the President: Wegger Chr. Strommen, Norwegian Ambassador to the United States; Rockell N. Hankin, Vice-Chairman of The Kavli Foundation; Robert W. Conn, President of The Kavli Foundation; Kavli Laureates Mildred S. Dresselhaus, Cornelia Isabella Bargmann, Ann M. Graybiel, Jane X. Luu, David C. Jewitt and Michael E. Brown. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) of the presidential attention, said Conn, is that “science matters.” Conn, a former dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering at UCSD, has headed the Kavli Foundation for four years. The foundation was established by Fred Kavli, a Norwegian-born businessman who emigrated to the U.S. in the 1950s. If scientists can figure out how the brain’s trillions of neural connections work to coordinate and control mind and body functions, Conn said, they may also come up with treatments or cures for diseases ranging from Alzheimer’s to autism. Scientists also believe the research could lead to

Chun said the excitement generated by the president’s announcement and the meeting with Obama at the White House was tempered by the realization of how much work needs to be done to make the project a success. “The scientists now have perhaps the greatest challenge of their entire career in front of them,” said Chun, who has helped author papers about the project and presented the idea to contacts at the White House Office of Science and

Technology Policy. Obama and others have compared the brain mapping project to the Human Genome Project, which identified the genetic codes that determine our unique characteristics. In the case of the brain mapping project, scientists said, one of the key challenges is developing tools that can monitor and measure hundreds and thousands of neurons as they fire and interact in real time. Another challenge will be creating computer programs that can ana- Robert W. Conn lyze tremendous amounts of data gathered from observations of brain function. Ralph Greenspan, a researcher at UCSD who serves as associate director of the university’s Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind — one of 16 such academic institutes funded by the Kavli Foundation — attended the London meeting in 2011 and recalled that scientists talked for two days without making much progress. Then George Church, a researcher who worked on the Human Genome Project, said he had heard his colleagues discuss what they could do, but not what they dreamed of doing if they had the right technology. “That started the really lively conversation,” Greenspan said. A neuroscientist said he wanted to be able to record the activity of every neuron, or nerve cell, in the brain (estimated at 100 billion) at the same time. Current technology, said Greenspan, allows scientists to monitor and record about 100 neurons at a time. “We decided this was a great idea,” said Greenspan, whose own research involves studying the brains of fruit flies, which contain about 130,000 neurons. “The idea is this will spur the development of some useful technologies,” Greenspan said. Terry Sejnowski, a researcher at the Salk Institute who also has been involved with the brain mapping project, wrote in an email, “The investment being made over the next 15 years in the BRAIN Initiative will create new industrial activity that will rival the biotech industry.” Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, will be one of the leaders of the BRAIN Initiative. Along with the federal money proposed by Obama, private organizations have also pledged resources: $60 million annually from the Allen Institute for Brain Science; $30 million per year from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute; $4 million per year for 10 years from the Kavli Foundation; and $28 million from the Salk Institute.

Academy Award-winning actress Marlee Matlin shares personal experiences of abuse at Center for Community Solutions fundraiser BY DIANE Y. WELCH April was Sexual Assault Awareness month and in its timely recognition the Center for Community Solutions (CCS) held its largest fundraising gala of the year at The Grand Del Mar. More than 600 attendees convened to celebrate and support the nonprofit’s 14th annual Tea and Tonic fundraiser. Academy Award-winning actress, author and activist Marlee Matlin was the event’s keynote speaker. She spoke passionately about her own former abuse both as a child and as an adult partner. She also signed copies of her book, a memoir, titled “I’ll Scream Later.” In her speech, Matlin talked about how she grew up in a very loving home but despite that secure environment — because of her deafness and an inability to speak — she was molested as a child by a non-family member. She shared her story about winning the Academy Award for her debut movie “Children of a Lesser God” and then finding her voice after she said she was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of a former boyfriend. She will never be silent again, she said. “I will scream loud, if anybody ever does this again.” Today Matlin is happily married, is continuing her career and has four children. “She wants to speak out about domestic violence and sexual assault in order to give other people their voice,” said Verna Griffin-Tabor, CEO of CCS and a licensed clinical social worker. “And that’s why we do this event,” she stressed. Many times people who are vulnerable are sought out by perpetrators. And many crimes of sexual assault go unreported. For this reason a large part of CCS’s work is in educating the public to prevent these crimes in the first place. “We know and believe that this violence is preventable,” said Griffin-Tabor. “And we don’t want people who have been hurt to live in shame. They aren’t the ones who committed the crime. We should be holding the perpetrators accountable.”

L-R: Edith Glassey, Marlee Matlin, Terry Kelly, Gemma Markham, Nirvana Habash. Photo/Diane Welch At the event Crystal Harris was honored as a Community Hero and was presented with the Courage Award. Despite suffering from domestic violence, Harris was ordered in Family Court to pay her abusive incarcerated husband’s legal fees, spousal support and half of her retirement accounts. The injustice sparked Harris into action when she helped sponsor a bill, last year, that is now law. It prohibits anyone convicted of a violent sexual felony from gaining financial awards from the separate property of the spouse. It was anticipated that the gala would raise in excess of $200,000, funds desperately needed for counseling and legal services, said Griffin-Tabor. The nationally-recognized social service agency is 44 years old and is the only rape crisis center for the City of San Diego and 75 percent of the county. It works with victims of domestic violence and elder abuse and has locations in El Cajon, Escondido, San Marcos and Pacific Beach areas. It also operates a countywide 24-hour bilingual crisis helpline and provides emergency domestic violence shelters, hospital and court accompaniment.

VISIT OUR NEW SHOWROOM

Statistically, one in four women will be a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault at some point in their life. “We want them to know that help is available and healing is possible, we see it every day,” said Griffin-Tabor. “People move beyond horrific circumstances and become the most beautiful people of integrity and that’s why I keep doing this work. The people we serve inspire me.” After the gala Matlin spoke through Jack Jason, her interpreter, “The event was like a gift for me,” she said. “Having been in a situation where I experienced domestic violence I know exactly what each and every woman who gets CCS services goes through. Today is a celebration because we are all being heard and money has been raised. But we are not finished and we are not going to stay silent, we have a lot of work to do.” Visit http://www.ccssd. org/ to find out more about the agency or to make an online tax-deductible donation.

Kids Korps USA volunteer work makes a large environmental impact During the month of April, Kids Korps USA volunteers partnered with I Love A Green San Diego to host three electronics recycling and paper shredding events in honor of Earth Day. These events, hosted by St. James Academy, Aviara Oaks Middle School and the Give 12 Committee, which is sponsored by Starbucks, produced great results for the environment. The events were free and open to the public and thanks to great community participation these efforts resulted in 20,200 pounds of paper being shredded and proper disposal of 12,352 pounds of electronics. The environmental savings associated with the paper recycling was equivalent to 171 trees, 3,800 gallons of oil, 31 cubic yards of landfill space, 40,000 kilowatts of energy, 54,000 gallons of water, and 600 pounds of air pollution. More than 6 tons of electronics were collected and diverted from landfills and other problematic disposal sites. By recycling these electronics responsi-

In everyday terms, this is equivalent to saving 720 gallons of gas, or 106 trees, or 6,007 water bottles, or 30,230 aluminum cans. The total combined weight of paper and electronics recycled as a part of these efforts was 32,552 pounds, or over 16 tons.

Best-selling authors/motivational speakers come together for event in ‘spiritual capital of the world’ BY CLAIRE HARLIN They’ve been called thought leaders, visionaries, luminaries and experts in meditation, among other titles. They are both New York Times best-selling authors who rose to popularity with their concepts regarding happiness, life purpose and spiritual transformation. And on April 25, the two iconic figures — Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle — came together for the first time to collaborate in sharing thoughts with an eager North County audience at the Chopra Center as part of its signature “Seduction of Spirit” retreat at the La Costa Resort & Spa. And the estimated 1,400 eager fans who attended the evening discussion, which was broadcast on Eckhart Tolle TV and is downloadable at www.eckharttolletv.com, were in for a surprise, many rushing toward the stage to snap a picture, when Chopra introduced Wayne Dyer, a last-minute guest whom Tolle had run into and invited the previous night at a restaurant. Dyer, a longtime motivational guru and author of more than 30 books, joined Tolle and Chopra in somewhat of a conversational encore. Serendipitous as the surprise guest’s inclusion that night may seem, Chopra Center spokeswoman Dallas Brown said such beautiful moments are typical of North County, San Diego — the “sweet spot of the Universe” she called the area. And she said that the Chopra Center could have relocated anywhere when it moved from La Jolla about a decade ago, however, Chopra landed the center in southeast Carlsbad for a reason — the same reason the India native, who resides in La Jolla, decided to build his life in North County as well. “It’s often been called the spiritual capital of the world,” said Brown, adding that most of the center’s staff also populate the area. “It’s kind of a phenomenon as to why … There’s such a great environment and climate here. People want to be inspired by their surroundings and they want to be in a place that allows for conscious living.” The Chopra Center is a global resource that brings in visitors and retreat guests from all over the world to experience the peace that comes from the aesthetic beauty of North County, as well as the welcoming environment built by the many other like-minded individuals who have established themselves in this “spiritual hub,” as she called it. But that doesn’t mean the center — which dedicates itself to teaching yoga, promoting wellness and leading trans-

on a physical and psychological sense of self,” said Tolle, who is most known for his book, “The Power of Now.” “But who we are was already there and was completely overlooked.” He said the process of understanding our “formless self” — “the deep presence that has always been there” — is a major transformation that can greatly impact one’s happiness.

Athenaeum to host tour of mural collection Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle formation — forgets about the locals who support, volunteer and regularly attended the meditative-focused yoga classes. “We love to bring in people from all over the world,” Brown said. “But it’s a big county and we have people right here in San Diego County who don’t get to have these types of experiences every day.” In bringing in Tolle to collaborate in discussion, Chopra — a 65-time author — said he wanted to air a prominent point that both men support and disseminate prominently in their teachings — the importance of living in the moment and being present. Tolle said some people live so deeply trapped in their mind — “thinking and not really seeing,” he said — that their reality is only conceptual and leads to negative judgement, often of others. He expressed that our sense of self is derived from others’ perceptions of us, which we accept as true, as well as from our material possessions and the people in our lives. “Most people live their lives knowing themselves based

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Impac Mortgage’s Solana Beach office offers ‘a wide variety of loan products and closes loans quickly’ BY JOE TASH With 18 years in the mortgage lending business, Kathy Larson prides herself on her communications skills and ability to solve problems so loans close on time and with a minimum of hassle. Larson, a Carmel Valley resident and manager of Impac Mortgage’s Solana Beach office, which is celebrating its first anniversary, enjoys interacting with customers and helping them close loans, whether for a purchase or refinance. “It’s something I’ve had a passion for from the very beginning. I truly love lending,” said Larson. Impac is a mortgage lender with local ties but a national reach, said Ondar Tarlow, senior vice president and director of marketing. The company is a direct lender, meaning it is licensed by mortgage lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as the Federal Housing Administration or FHA. Those relationships, said Tarlow, allow Impac to offer a wide variety of loan products and close loans quickly, on an average of 24 days from application to closing. Among the loan products offered by Impac are conventional fixed-rate mortgages; jumbo loans; HARP refinance loans for those who owe more than their home is worth; reverse mortgages; and 203K home renovation loans. Tarlow encouraged anyone who is considering purchasing a home or refinancing to meet with an Impac loan officer. “Let’s figure out what makes the most sense for you,” he said. Even though interest rates are at historic lows, some people sit on the fence, waiting for rates to go even lower. “When people ask me, when should I refinance, I say now,” said Larson. “Because I know what the rates are now and I know I can save you money now. I don’t know what I can do a month from now or six months from now.” Impac’s parent company, Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., was founded in Irvine in 1995. Impac operates primarily in the western states of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Idaho. The company has three operations centers and 29 branch offices. As of the end of Quarter 1 for 2013, Impac’s mortgage

Ondar Tarlow, Impac Mortgage senior vice president and director of marketing, and Kathy Larson, Impac Mortage Solana Beach branch manager. Photo/Beau Brown servicing portfolio was in excess of $1.7 billion. Impac’s business is in direct retail lending to consumers; wholesale lending through mortgage brokers and correspondent lending through credit unions; community banks and other financial institutions, said Tarlow. The company places a premium on experience for its employees. Larson said that all of the loan officers working

in her branch, at 437 S. Highway 101, Suite 110, Solana Beach, have at least 10 years of experience in the mortgage industry. “We’re able to manage any type of situation with a borrower that comes across. Experience is definitely a pre-requisite,” she said. Among the company’s loan products is the 203K renovation loan, which allows a home buyer to get financing for both a purchase or refinance, and home renovation, at the same time. One advantage of such a loan, she said, is that it allows purchasers to consider homes that need extensive renovation, or have structural problems, such as a cracked slab or worn-out roof. Such properties often are not eligible for conventional financing, meaning they can only be purchased by all-cash buyers. A 203K loan “opens up the inventory for a buyer looking for homes, knowing they can do the improvements after the loan closes, making the property financeable now,” Larsen said. Other products offered by the company include jumbo loans, where the loan amount is above $546,250 in San Diego, and reverse mortgage loans, which might be helpful for seniors who have cash savings, but little or no income. Seniors who don’t qualify for a conventional refinance loan may qualify for a reverse mortgage, Tarlow and Larson said. With rates for 30-year, fixed rate loans below 4 percent, Tarlow said, those who haven’t refinanced for a year or two — or longer — might be able to save a lot of money by refinancing to a lower interest rate. “It’s a good time to buy, a good time to refinance, a good time to call,” Larson said.

Local students to perform in North Coast Rep Theatre School’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ The North Coast Rep Theatre School will present William Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” May 16-19. One of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, the tragic tale of two young starcrossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, whose romance will leave you believing in everlasting love. “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?” Romeo talks directly to the audience. He seeks their advice. He includes them in the story as characters who may either help him or hinder him. In North Coast Rep Theatre School’s 2013 production of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, director Benjamin Cole takes his cues directly from Shakespeare and invites the audience to participate as active members of the character’s world. Observing techniques that Shakespeare’s original acting company may have used will hopefully make the play more active for the actors, and more engaging for the audience. The lights will remain ON the entire performance to remind both audience and actors that in Shakespeare’s world there was no electricity. The actors could see who was watching them and indeed intended to use them to help tell their story. Come ready to “Hear a play” as Shakespeare’s audience would have put it, and see them “suit the action to the word, the word to the

Caterpillar Mushroom The medicinal mushroom Cordyceps sinensis attracted the attention of Western health professionals in the 1990’s when a group of athletes from China broke several world records in track and field events. It was later determined that their diets were supplemented with this ancient “caterpillar mushroom”. This unique fungus is regarded as a supreme medicine in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and used as a rejuvenating herb to support the immune system. Its use dates back to 1700 BC and much later introduced to Europe. Use in Asia was typically reserved for the Emperors due its cost and difficulty in harvesting from its high Himalayan habitat. It has been held in the East as a premier herb along with ginseng as tonic for male sexual energy. It is eaten as a whole food in soups as well as cooked with meats. Most often used to treat low energy it is also used for treatment of cough and strengthening the respiratory system. Like many TCM herbs it has other organ specific applications and is also used to support kidney chi energy. Modern investigation into its many medicinal compounds has verified properties that support the traditional use as an adaptogen and the ability to increase oxygen levels in the blood as well as strengthen the heart.

Your Family Matters: Tough love BY DR. KEITH KANNER â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ouch.â&#x20AC;? The connotations associated with â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough loveâ&#x20AC;? are commonly negative. It feels as though the approach is â&#x20AC;&#x153;meanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;harsh,â&#x20AC;? rather than a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wake upâ&#x20AC;? call that behavior needs to change. Dr. Keith Kanner The approach does entail â&#x20AC;&#x153;love,â&#x20AC;? but the delivery is not done in a Teddy Bear fashion. It is direct and to the point. The behavior must change or there will be a consequence. This approach is based on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning Theory.â&#x20AC;? That negatively reinforcing a behavior reduces the repetition of the behavior in question. A child hits their sibling and they gets a time out because a parent will not allow their child to do something â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrong.â&#x20AC;? Tough love. What is the alternative? Reinforcing â&#x20AC;&#x153;positiveâ&#x20AC;? behavior? Positive parenting? Nope, the research does not support this approach. Kids are not that simple. They are not dogs. If a kid thinks they can get away with something, they will. This is reality. When a child has a limit, they are forced to change. If they get a reward for being â&#x20AC;&#x153;good,â&#x20AC;? this has nothing to do with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;badâ&#x20AC;? behavior. Rewarding successful behavior is also essential, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough. Parents need to be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;badâ&#x20AC;? guy sometimes and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough position to take for most parents. Why? It is much easier to gratify a child than punish them. Most parents cringe when they feel as though they have made their own child cry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ouch.â&#x20AC;? Guilt is one of the most common

pitfalls of good parenting. But remember, no pain, no gain. Limits promote growth and inhibit regression. Most successful schools in fact utilize a tough love approach and are the most effective in promoting appropriate behavior and have the fewest problems with both bullies and â&#x20AC;&#x153;mean girls.â&#x20AC;? These school also produce the most students who go to college. Why? The students know that there are standards that must be followed or there will be a price to pay. Kids can understand this and it is helpful, not harmful. The difference between technology and human behavior are quite different. Technology does change, but human behavior does not. People behave consistently despite the changing world around them. For example, violent television and video games are proved to cause overstimulation in most kids if they are overexposed. Overstimulation is a human condition. However, the ways that we effectively deal with it is the same now as it was 100 years ago. Limits. Tough love. Dealing with behavior is well defined with research and clinical data. Kids need limits when they break the rules. Otherwise, they become entitled and selfcentered. Parents have to sometimes be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad guysâ&#x20AC;? because they love their children. In fact, the optimal role of a parent is to help their child to function in society, and not live in some sort of â&#x20AC;&#x153;specialâ&#x20AC;? bubble. Kids who act out have problems. They have not internalized rules and the essence of right versus wrong. Limits, rules, laws, and adult intervention are necessary to keep kids on track but this does not happen a lot of the time. Why? Parents fear setting limits. They fear their kids not liking them and fear they are hurting them. No. Limits are See KANNER, page B27

BY ROB LEDONNE Garrett Heine didn’t realize that he could pursue soccer after high school until he was in the midst of his sophomore year as a student at Torrey Pines. “I never really knew much about playing for college until then,” he explains from his North County home. “I was always thinking season-to-season, never too far in the future. However, some of the older kids on my team were going to college to play and I thought, ‘Wow. That’s definitely something I’d want to do.’” In addition, Heine describes playing soccer, namely for Torrey Pines, “the most fun I’ve ever had, especially being with my friends. It’s all about passion and everyone bonds.” With a goal to play after high school and beyond firmly planted in his brain, Heine started messaging a variety of schools. “I sent out emails to maybe 20, 30 schools... the kinds that were long shots, but I figured I’d take a chance and see what happens. I started that process to get my feet in the water to learn more about playing for college during the summer between my sophomore and junior years, and it escalated from there.” Fortunately, Heine has a rich history playing soccer to back up his aspirations. “I’ve been playing com-

Garrett Heine petitively nonstop, yearround since I was 8,” he notes. “I’ve played for most of the major clubs in San Diego and North County.” Like most kids his age, he got his start in the sport after his parents signed him up for recreational soccer, and from there it snowballed. “At first I was like everyone else playing,” he explained. “After awhile, I started to really, really like it.” At one point or another, Heine has played for Torrey Pines (both junior and varsity), as well as clubs such as Albion, Surf, the Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks, and, most recently, La Jolla’s Nomads soccer club, which is a branch team of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. Throughout a typical year, Heine would move around from one team to another. “For my sophomore and junior years, I’d take a break playing club soccer to be on the high school team, which is basically what everyone did,” said Heine, who explained that following his junior year the Development Academy instituted new rules for club players about taking that break.

“They think (high school is) lower level playing and that it hurts the development of someone who wants to pursue this longterm, as well as to compete at the international level.” Since Heine wanted to play soccer for a major division, he stuck with the club soccer throughout his senior year and it’s through his coach playing for the Surf club that he was discovered by George Washington University, a college located in the heart of Washington D.C. “The coach at George Washington is young, and he’s trying to build a new team. He talked to my coach at Surf and watched a couple of my games. Right off the bat, I didn’t know much about the school but it ended up being a good fit for me.” Heine was also attracted to George Washington because of its conference level — A10, which is made up of an esteemed group of competitive, athletic schools. Once Heine visited George Washington’s campus during last winter he was sold, and this past February he officially signed with the school on National Signing Day. “I graduate from Torrey Pines in June, and then I go to the campus with the fall athletes a few weeks before the start of the school year at George Washington to get acclimated with the campus and start practicing,” Heine says, looking forward to his next couple of months. “Until then, I’ll be trying to improve my fitness and skills going into camp so I can have a big impact my first year there.” Overall, he’s excited about the new experience: “I’ve been visiting the East Coast since I was young, so going to college there was something I always wanted to do.”

The Caregivers’ Journey: Sibling harmony imperative BY MARSHA KAY SEFF For my 65th birthday – when did I get so old? — my sister gave me a plane ticket to visit her in New York. She pointed out that we have lost mom and dad and uncle Seymour and we’re pretty much all that is left of our family. It made me think about some other siblings that once asked me to settle a squabble about how they were going to bury their dad. One insisted on an all-out military send-off, while the other held firm for a small civilian cere- Marsha Kay Seff mony. I never heard what they decided, but I sure hope they took my advice. I pointed out that the type of funeral they had for their father wasn’t nearly as important as the two of them remaining close – after all, he was already gone. Too many siblings argue their way through the caregiving years only to come to blows when the estate is divided up. Then, all they’re left with is bad memories and maybe some material things. Fortunately, for my sister, Bobbe, and me, we were able to plod through our caregiving responsibilities with respect and love for each other. Although I was the primary caregiver because I brought my parents to San Diego and my sister lives in New York, she was always there to lend moral support and perspective. She didn’t try to backseat drive or overrule my daily decisions. When I got stuck, she was a phone call or email away. Caring for aging parents should be a time of family unity and mutual support. Bobbe and I were fortunate: Looking out for our parents brought us closer than we had been since childhood. We commiserated and laughed at the complications of our new role as we once giggled about the adults from the children’s table at our family parties. Sure, we’re not immune to sibling rivalries. What sisters aren’t? I hate that she’s much slimmer than I am, that her hair grows faster and that she absolutely refuses to understand my political beliefs. But so what? We’re old enough, too old, to slip into our old games, such as who made the best grades (I did), who got more boyfriends (she did) and who mom and dad loved more (I bet it was equal). And so we pushed the petty rivalries aside in order to lift and support each other while looking out for our parents and after. Bobbe and I are each other’s confidants and biggest supporters. Some siblings get bogged down in resentment, especially the primary caregiver who believes the others are doing less work. An easy way around this, I’ve discovered, is to make a list of things that need to be done and divvy them up. Even out-of-town siblings can help with some tasks. Some families draw up contracts, stating who does what

and what they might get paid out of the estate for their work if that becomes relevant. It helps sometimes to plan family meetings and invite a third party, such as a psychologist or trusted friend, to mediate any disputes. To avoid potential conflicts, it’s important to keep siblings informed about your parents’ ever-changing circumstances and care plan, listen to your siblings’ opinions about caregiving decisions and be willing to bend. When the primary caregiver needs a vacation, it’s up to the others to step in. The most important inheritance our parents left was bringing my sister and me together. Sure, family photos – that neither of us has room to hang — and the little cash that remained after years in retirement homes are nice. But our parents’ most precious gift was the love of sisters, reconnected by adult responsibilities that offered us the chance to appreciate the unique gifts both of us bring to the family circle.

These womanly foods are for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day and always The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Since moms are so precious to us, the best gift we can give them on their special day is a list of foods to keep our gal pals healthy, happy, youthful and sexy. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a primer on fabulous female foods for all ages to relish on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day and throughout the year.

of anti-aging. Romaine lettuce, the Vitamin A king of leafy greens, will also rev up skin cell turn over to rejuvenate skin and give a luminous radiance. Rich in Vitamin K, these luscious leaves will reduce bone loss to help keep the jaw and chin line youthful. If you love nuts, pop a selenium-rich Brazil or some Vitamin E-packed raw almonds in your lunchbox to ward off free radical cell damage. To keep the skin hydrated and flush impurities from your body drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses a day). For a more palatable swig, add a splash of pomegranate juice or float some cucumber slices on top. Also, eat waterpacked foods (like watermelon and honeydews) to plump up those thirsty cells.

Skin savers Women want to keep that youthful glow and taut complexion. Some choice foods make natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best plastic surgeons like guava, a tropical collagen factory that helps build and plump up skin cells. Whip up a guava smoothie for mom, guava gazpacho (see recipe below) or feta and roasted guava salad for a daily dose

Bone health As women age (especially as they turn the corner at 50), they should boost their calcium-rich food intake to keep bones strong and ward off dreaded osteoporosis. To this end, nothing beats sardines and wild-caught salmon (preferably canned in pure olive oil with calciumrich skin and bones intact), low-fat dairy, dark leafy

greens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kale, spinach, chard and collards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; calcium-fortified orange juice and enriched grains. Vitamin D has been an invaluable ally to bones in helping absorb calcium from the gut. Pumping iron Menstruating women require more iron than postmenopausal ones, while women generally need more iron than men. To pump iron into your diet (to prevent anemia) the best sources include dark leafy greens, beans and legumes (like chickpeas and lentils), dried apricots, mollusks (scallops, clams), egg yolks and artichokes. Digestion aids To dial-up digestion and the immune system add probiotic warriors that contain beneficial gut bacteria to your diet, like high-powered yogurt with a mother lode of live cultures or goat dairy or kefir, a refreshing fermented dairy that resembles a yoghurt-type beverage packed with billions of colony-forming units to keep the tummy tame. Bladder matters Cranberries are a girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bladderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend. This tart little cousin to the

mighty blueberry is rife with Vitamins A, B, C and K, a slew of minerals, antioxidants, and especially proanthocyanidins with anti-adhesion properties that prevent and treat pesky urinary tract infections. Drink cranberry juice straightup to pack the most potent antibacterial punch, or blend in muffins or scones, chutneys, salads or raw trail mixes. Breast health A womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best arsenal against breast cancer: Vitamin D-rich foods (organic eggs, milk, mackerel, salmon, sardines and cod liver oil); a 15-minute daily dose of sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays; omega-3 rich flaxseed, walnuts, sunflower and sesame seeds; and cruciferous warriors (broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, turnip greens and cabbage). Green and black teas contain antioxidants called polyphenols, which are also thought to prevent cancer cells from dividing. Heart smart Seafoods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, along with seaweed and other oceanic veggies, are heart-loving treasure troves. Look for supplies of wild-caught, deep sea, cold-water fish like

Fountain of Youth Guava Gazpacho My refreshing gazpacho is like a bowl of Botox to keep mom looking fine. Ingredients 2 ripe guavas, seeded, cut in cubes 4 assorted heirloom tomatoes, chopped 2 Persian cucumbers, finely chopped 1 red pepper, finely chopped 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce 2 cups vegetable juice Handful fresh chopped cilantro 1/2 cup fresh orange juice 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice salmon, herring (pickled in wine, not sour cream), mackerel and anchovies. Seeds and nuts are omega-3 powerhouses, too, for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do fish, while olive and sesame seed oils are best for the heart.

Nutrition and you: Spring cleaning your diet BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT The other day I was talking with my mother (she lives in Michigan) and she was telling me that my three sisters volunteered to do her spring cleaning this year! Thinking about my mom’s Peggy Korody, RD, CLT spring cleaning plan gave me the idea for this column; why not spring clean our diets too? When I think of spring I always visualize the abundance of color after a long winter (remember I’m from Michigan!), and what better way to spring clean your diet than by adding a lot of color to every meal. Studies have shown that we eat with our eyes and the colors of fruits and veggies are very pleasing to the eye. Eating a variety of fruits and veggies every day will provide you with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Vitamins are organic components in food that are needed in small amounts for growth and maintaining good health. Minerals are inorganic nutrients found in foods that are essential for growth and health too. The term “phyto” originated from a Greek word meaning plant, phytonutrients are organic components of plants, and these components are thought to promote human health. Let’s look at some of the colors and see what they do for us. White fruits and vegetables, such as garlic, ginger, mushrooms, onions, bananas, and white peaches provide you with vitamin A, C, allicin and quercetin. These are important for circulation, bone health, and immune boosting activity. Green fruits and vegetables include leafy greens, green pepper, green onions, artichokes, asparagus, avocados, and kiwifruit provide vitamin A, C, folate, lutein, calcium, fiber, and beta caro-

KANNER continued from page B18 love. Kids need parents to draw the line. They are not yet capable of self-responsibility until they reach at least late adolescence ( 17 years-plus). Even Sigmund Freud in his landmark essay “Civilization and its Discontents” spelled out how without rules, laws and holding people accountable society would not exist,and he was right on this one. Parents need to set limits. They need to be tough when their kids are not towing their own ability to self-regulate according to their age. Infantilization is treating a kid as though they cannot follow a rule. This communicates to

tene all important for healthy cells, lungs, liver and eye health. The color red provides us with lycopene for healthy cells and scavenges harmful free-radicals. Some springtime examples would be: blood oranges, papaya, strawberries, beets, radish, radicchio and rhubarb. Think heart and artery health with blue/purple fruits and veggies: blueberries, purple Belgium endive, and purple potato. Last, but not least, the orange/yellow fruits and veggies which contain beta carotene, flavonoids, lycopene, potassium, and vitamin C are necessary for our vision, immune system, and growth & development. The USDA guidelines suggest we eat two-plus servings of fruit and three-plus servings of vegetables per day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports only 32.5 percent of Americans consumer two or more servings of fruits per day, and 26.3 percent consume three or more servings of vegetables per day. To help you “spring clean” your diet consume more fruits and vegetables, which are naturally cholesterol free, low in fat, low in calories, and high in fiber. The weather’s great, so why not take advantage of your local farmer’s market or produce section of your favorite market and see how many colors you can consume on a daily basis to help you spring clean your diet?

When they reach adulthood they become selfish, non-empathic, and pathetic. “Yuck So parents, don’t be afraid to be “tough” in the love department when your kid acts entitled or don’t tow the line. It’s OK to reinforce when they do something well but it is equally or more important to stop them from doing something wrong or stupid. That is love. Looking out for the best interests of a child’s complete development is the optimal role of good parenting. But, you have to be tough sometimes to show your kids that you really do love them.
