RSF native named one of LA Unified’s ‘Teachers of the Year’ BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School alumnus Daniel Gettinger was recently named one of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s 21 “Teachers of the Year.” The honor is a big accomplishment as the 25-year-old Gettinger is only in his third year of teaching and was recognized as a standout in the second largest school district in the nation. LA Unified has an enrollment of more than 640,000 students at over 900 schools and 187 public charter schools. The Rancho Santa Fe
native teaches statistics, precalculus and algebra 1 at Huntington Park High School in Huntington Park and has “committed his life to closing the achievement gap.” “I have a firm belief that all students, regardless of their backgrounds, are capable of achieving at a high level,” Gettinger said. He said that while it’s nice to be recognized his students are the ones who deserve the recognition as they’re the ones who have worked hard all year, coming in as early as 6 a.m. or staying until 6 p.m. for extra
help to improve in school. “I can’t take most of the credit, it’s really a reflection of the work of my students,” Gettinger said. “I’m trying to get better for my stuDaniel dents.” Gettinger Gett i n g e r graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2010 with a degree in ecoSee TEACHER, page 28

BY GIDEON RUBIN Michael Kim was 7 when he moved to the United States from his native South Korea. He knew little about golf at the time, and everything he did know was through the prism of the Tiger Woods phenomena. “I grew up watching Tiger,” Kim said in a recent media conference call. “When I just started getting into the game Tiger had just finished his 2001 season. Who could not like golf when that was happening? Kim still considers himself a huge Tiger Woods fan.
Cielo Village transforming into an events center BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Cielo Village is in the process of reinventing itself as an event center. It is the hope by new tenant Cielo Village Events that the idyllic Italian-style village will become the new hot spot for weddings, corporate events and catering. Pacifica has owned the center since September 2012. Cielo Village Events
started construction on its facilities at the center on June 8 and is expected to complete renovations by Aug. 1. “This place has been a ghost town since 2006 and we’re finally putting some life into it,” said James Register, owner of Cielo Village Events which leases space from Pacifica. “I think with us being an anchor tenant
we’ve already noticed a change in the environment. We’re already developing some interest and construction has started and that’s really exciting.” Since being completed nearly seven years ago, the scenic center has been mostly vacant. A handful of retail businesses and restaurants have come and gone but the interiors of the majority of
the buildings have never been touched, still with concrete floors and not even a light installed. Besides the Cielo Village Events buildings, there are still some post office boxes from Z Private Post, a few offices and, in the back, the administrative offices for the Rancho Santa Fe Fire ProtecSee CIELO, page 28
But these days, he doesn’t just watch his childhood idol from the comfort of his living room sofa. T h e former Torrey Pines High standout is now the competition. H e qualified for and played Michael Kim in the 113th U.S. Open in Merion as an amateur after receiving countless collegiate honors as a UC Berkeley sophomore
this year. “[I] basically grew up idolizing Tiger, so to be at the same tournament as him is awesome,” Kim said three days before the start of the U.S. Open. And to say Kim held his own at one of the world’s most prestigious tournaments would be an understatement. Kim placed ahead of Woods, shooting a combined four-over-par 290 to finish an astonishing 17th, the fifth best performance for an amateur in 30 years. See GOLF, page 28

Trial ordered for man accused of looting mansion in RSF
BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A man who allegedly barged into a Rancho Santa Fe mansion with an accomplice five days before Christmas and looted the residence while holding a housekeeper at gunpoint must stand trial on robbery and other charges, a judge ruled June 12. David Grub faces 34 years in prison if convicted. After a preliminary hearing, Judge Kenneth So found that enough evidence was presented for Grub to stand trial on three counts of robbery, burglary and a gun allegation. A readiness conference was set for Aug. 12 and trial for Oct. 30. Early on the afternoon of Dec. 20, Grub and another man allegedly confronted the maid at the large house in the 5400 block of El Mirlo, threatened her with a gun and forced their way inside, authorities said. After gathering jewelry and antiques, the bandits handcuffed the victim to a door to keep her from calling 911, then fled in a blue Hyundai Elantra. Sheriff’s officials said the housekeeper was found by family members several hours later. She was unhurt. The robbers’ getaway car was eventually found abandoned. After a tip, Grub, 43, was arrested Feb. 28 in Alpine. The second suspect remains at large.

RSF jewelry designer/gemologist among select few invited to China for trade show BY DIANE WELCH The beauty of gemstones — and the thrill of the hunt to unearth them — lured Rancho Santa Fe’s Jacqui Grande to exotic destinations where she not only found buried treasure but forged a new career. In doing so she also mapped out a new life, despite being a lone woman in the male world of mining. Dredge mining for color gemstones in Asian countries like Sri Lanka was a life far-removed from Grande’s former one as a research biologist with the Salk Institute in La Jolla. But after 25 years, her integrity and knowledge of her materials has led to a top-level career as a gemologist and jewelry designer, and has placed Grande in the private circles of kings, global dignitaries and high level U.S. politicians who purchase her highly sought-after gem -crusted jewelry. This acclaim recently brought Grande’s company, Radiance International, to the attention of Chinese officials who invited her to join an elite group of 20 international designers to participate in a trade show titled, “Gems Cube.” Organizing the event was
Jacqui Grande, in back, with model Shenzhen MKH Group representing Shenzhen, which is poised to become China’s manufacturing hub for jewelry and now ranks as one of China’s top 10 cities with the largest consumption of luxury products. One of only two who were spotlighted as the show’s main focus – the other was Alessio Boschi – Grande said it was “quite an honor” to be selected. China’s marketplace is one that is generally closed to international trade with the government
overseeing who is granted trade privileges and what is allowed to be sold, said Grande. “But those that do get in, do very well,” she added. It was a surprise to be chosen, said Grande, who was formerly on the Board of Directors of the International Color Gemstone Association and has been very active for the past 20 years in promoting gemstones. But she believes that it was her jewelry in Dubai that was most likely brought to the attention of the Chinese. The event included a fashion show with models adorned with jewelry from Radiance International. Translators were assigned to Grande but it was still very challenging. “It was probably the most difficult place I’ve ever done a show,” she said. “I’ve been digging for gemstones in the dirt but this was a lot more tiring,” she joked. Guests to the show came from many of the larger cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai. “One of the gentlemen I met owns 60 stores in China, and now he is my client,” said Grande, who has also been invited to conduct seminars in
The necklace is an 8ct Spinel with diamonds. China to educate others on color gemstones. Raised in an Italian Catholic family in Wilmington, Delaware, Grande was a graduate of Purdue University where she received a degree in biology. She was the first woman in her family to attend college. She then came to California for a master’s program at San Diego State University. She credits her success to “great parents” who made her feel very confident but she was also somewhat restricted. “So when I got out there, I went for it. I jumped at opportunity,” she said. In 1984 Grande began pur-
chasing gems and selling them at U.S.-based trade shows. She eventually turned to the international market. She invested in a dredge mining operation in Sri Lanka, mining and cutting predominately sapphires and rubies. Despite living and working in a man’s world, Grande broke through the gender barrier and soon became known for her keen eye for quality. Many of her gemstones are sold to Tiffany’s and other top-level gem houses. Grande also owns a successful dressage facility in Rancho Santa Fe and continues to travel extensively with her jewelry business. Her experiences with both have prompted her to collect some of her personal stories for a future book, one that would serve as inspiration for other women. Her custom jewelry is available from Radiance International’s private design studio in Del Mar, by appointment. Current collections may also be viewed online at www.radianceintl.net or call (858) 350-1900 for more information.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
The Book Cellar in Rancho Santa Fe moves to new spot, receives upgrade By KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild’s Book Store, also known as The Book Cellar, has moved around the corner and it is sporting a fresh new look. The bright new space still offers the same gently-used book steals, but it is the hope that it will be a more inviting space for patrons. “We’re trying to bring Barnes & Noble to the Ranch,” said Sara Levy Buehner, who led the remodeling effort with cochair Diana Ashton. “My vision is that people will come in and grab a chair.” In addition to the two new striped, cozy, overstuffed chairs, rocking chair and table for stacking books while browsing, they also hope to serve coffee. Also coming soon will be a book nook in an area of the store that gets flooded with sunshine. The new book store spot was formerly the Guild offices. The Guild was down to one employee who used the space three days a week and another who used it for one day a week. As a new member on the RSF Library Guild board, Levy Buehner thought that as it was such a nice room and being underused, why not use it for the
to the library. As the Guild runs on hardworking volunteer manpower, the Guild office has now moved into the old sorting room. The new sorting room is now double the size of what it used to be, in the old Cellar space. Now there’s plenty of room for the volunteers who come and root through donations. “We get hundreds of books donated a week, it’s amazing,” Levy Buehner said. And these aren’t ratty old books — they receive brand new hardcovers, some of them even signed by the author. Those books, barely opened once, retail at about $28 and sell in the store for $4. Some brand new hard covers, great beach reads for summer, are marked for as low as $2. The most a book is priced for in the store is $5, save for some rare collectors’ books that are tucked into glass cases. “It’s a nice little find here, we have things nobody else has, some real hidden gems,” Levy Buehner said. All of the proceeds from the store go to support the Children’s Library upstairs. The store is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They are now able to accept credit cards for purchases over $10. For more information or to become a member of the Guild, visit rsflibraryguild.org or call (858) 756-4780. Address: 17040 Avenida De Acacias Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067. Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild member Sara Levy Buehner helped give The Book Cellar a new look in its new location. Photo/Karen Billing book store? An interior designer by trade, Levy Buehner devised a plan to maximize the spaces they have and make the set-up work better for everybody. The plan was passed by the board with one abstention from board president Art Yayanos. The store was closed one week to complete the renovations, done on a “shoestring budget.” Four floating bookshelves were donated from upstairs and painted a crisp white. Old cabinetry was given a new look with a coat of white paint and the addition of crown molding along the top to make them look custom. The oversized chairs were donated by R. Roger Rowe’s Class of 2012. In the children’s section of the store, shelves were given a splash of baby blue paint and decorative baskets hold some of the smaller books. On a counter under a new row of wall-mounted shelves is where visitors will soon find coffee and can now find charming greeting cards made by Guild member Terry Weaver. She takes old book pages and makes them into cards, sold for $2 with all proceeds going back
Have you seen Bandit? Reward offered for missing RSF cat A reward is being offered for a cat named “Bandit” who went missing in Rancho Santa Fe. Bandit is a black and white female, weighing 7 pounds. She has been

RSF resident Pauline Foster among Girl Scouts’ ‘10 Cool Women of 2013’ Rancho Santa Fe resident Pauline Foster was honored at the San Diego’s 10 Cool Women of 2013 luncheon recently held by Girl Scouts San Diego. This is the 13th year the nonprofit has recognized women whose personal and professional achievements, leadership and service to the community make them consummate role models for girls. “Like Girl Scouts, our 2013 Cool Women make the world a better place,” said Jo Dee C. Jacob, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts San Diego. “We’re proud to honor these 10 exceptional women.” Foster was raised in San Diego and has volunteered her time for many organizations, including the Governor’s Committee to Promote Trade Between California and Israel, United Way of San Diego, the San Diego Cancer Crusade, and a Beth Israel interracial summer camp. In addition to serving on the boards of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Sanford Burnham Institute and Stanley Foster Construction Academy, Foster is a council member for UCSD’s Rady School of Management. Her philanthropic efforts and community leadership have garnered her many awards. Rancho Santa Fe resident Connie Matsui — a Cool Woman of 2005 and past president of Girl Scouts of the USA — presented the first-ever “Cool Girl” award to Snigdha Nandipati, Scripps National Spelling Bee 2012 champion.

What’s the place in Carmel Valley?
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. If you agree, it’s time to seize the opportunity – to create a signature destination for all of Carmel Valley.

The R. Roger Rowe robotics teams had a strong showing at the San Diego County Fairgrounds Robot Games on June 15. The Rancho Santa Fe Eagles were first in the Sumo competition, second and third in Line Follow, and second in FLL Scrimmage with a 350-point final round to beat out the third place “Purple Puffer Fish” from Torrey Hills Elementary School. In the Sumo competition, the RSF Eagles 3 Team sumo bot, led by Jacob Morilak, Aaron Lustig and DJ Nelson, was undefeated in its quest to earn the top spot, never losing a single point in any of the double elimination rounds. The sumo bot used in the competition was built by Tyler Bovenzi and Alex Lillian. The programming was done by Jacob Morilak and assisted by Brandon Fitzpatrick to incorporate the two light sensors into a logic loop. It was one of several Sumo-bots built and tested by the Eagles 3 team coached by Dan Morilak and Mark Nelson. In the Line Follow competition, RSF Eagles 1 Team of Brandon Fitzpatrick, Michael Rattner and Paul Gauvreau took second place honors with an incredible 12.5 second run. Built and programmed by Brandon, their robot incorporated a complex mathematical algorithm to navigate the treacherous course of curves an turns. Third place went to the Eagles 3 team with their line following robot, built and programmed by DJ Nelson. The RSF Eagles 4 team of Ella Fox, Katherine Arnold, Anabelle Gauvreau, Arielle Sanford and Lucas Luwa produced a line follower that ran the course in a respectable time of 35 seconds. In the FLL Scrimmage, each team had three attempts to best their competitors. Trailing several teams after two rounds, the RSF Eagles 2 team of Tyler Bovenzi, Alex Lillian and Jasmine King were up for their third and final attempt. After quickly navigating their robot successfully through the missions near home base, they selected the program to navigate the line and move their robot out to the distant bowling game. When the robot turned early, Tyler quickly grabbed the robot and reset it at base much to coach Mark Bovenzi’s dismay. However, on the next attempt, the robot successfully navigated out to the bowling area and knocked down all but 2 pins... but, as the ball rebounded off the side of the table, it rolled back to knock down the last pins for a strike. That final mission produced a total of 350 points, which pushed them past the “Purple Puffer Fish” score of 310 points for a second place finish. It was an exciting end to a very successful day for all the RSF Eagles teams. — Submission

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Local students win at Globe Honors competition BY KAREN BILLING Two young actors are headed to Broadway this summer after shining bright at the “2013 Old Globe Honors and The Road to The Jimmy Awards.” Canyon Crest Academy senior Hunter Schwarz and Pacific Ridge School senior Annika Gullahorn won in the categories of Leading Actor and Actress in a High School Musical and will receive an all-expenses paid trip to New York City to participate in the National High School Musical Theater Awards/The Jimmy Awards Competition on July 1 at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway. Hunter and Annika also won $1,000 scholarships during the final round of the competition, held May 20 on the Donald and Darlene Shirley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre. For Hunter, 18, the fourth time in the contest was a charm — he’s been competing in it since he was a freshman. Last year as a junior he made it to the semifinals and tied for third place. “I was simply overwhelmed,” Hunter said of being named a winner. “It was an incredible feeling…I really, really wanted it this

year and I worked especially hard.” Hunter has been performing in shows since the second grade when he had his first role as “Samuel the shepherd boy.” He has performed in Broadway Bound Youth Theatre and is a member of CCA’s theater Conservatory program. His most favorite role he ever played was the lead in “Bat Boy: The Musical” in his freshman year at Canyon Crest. He said it was amazing to come in as a new freshman and snag the lead and perform alongside an “all-star cast.”
“I love musical theater because it incorporates all of the things I love to do. I love to sing, I love to act and dance, and musical theater is an opportunity to do all three in one location,” Hunter said. In the Old Globe competition, the young actors had to sing one song from a show they were a lead in and then perform a song of an opposite genre to showcase a different side of their acting ability and voice. The finalists from that round of auditions went onto the semifinals where they learned group numbers on top of their two solo audition pieces, which were performed in front of an audience and panel of judges at the Old Globe. Group numbers included the opening number from “Kiss Me Kate”; “Got a Lot of Livin’ to Do” from “Bye Bye Birdie”; and the group closed with a mash-up of “Our Time” and “Beautiful City” from the musicals “Merrily We Roll Along” and “Godspell” respectively. Hunter said the competition isn’t limited to just the show — judges are keeping a close eye on the performers while they go through rehearsals for the group
numbers, checking out work ethic, how quickly they pick up choreography, how they take direction, essentially who will best embody the Old Globe in New York City. For the contest, Hunter performed a solo (and worked a puppet) from “Avenue Q” in which he played the starring role of Princeton at CCA this year and the song “Sailing” from “A New Brain,” an off-Broadway show. While Hunter has participated in theater for years, Annika is relatively new to the stage. “I’m not one of those people who have been doing theater their whole life. I actually got into it at the beginning of high school and it was at that time when I started to fall in love with it,” said Annika, who describes herself as a “complete musical theater nerd.” Annika was inspired to get into theater by her “really, really great” teacher at Pacific Ridge, Alison Trattner. Due to a busy academic schedule, Annika was only able to participate in Pacific Ridge productions, none outside of school. She kept busy at Pacific Ridge running a women’s empowerment group on campus,
NKT, that she started her freshman year. Additionally, she just returned from a school trip to South Africa two weeks ago where she saw first hand things she learned in her Post Colonial African History course. Of her theater roles at Pacific Ridge, her favorite was “The Baker’s Wife” in “Into the Woods.” “She’s quite special that one, I just loved every moment of that show,” Annika said. “I’ve never been able to connect to a character as I was to The Baker’s Wife.” In the Old Globe competition, Annika performed “Moments in the Woods” from “Into the Woods,” a song that features one of her favorite lyrics from the show, “Oh, if life were made of moments, even now and then a bad one! But if life were only moments, Then you’d never know you had one.” Annika also sang the “beautiful, beautiful” song “Love Never Dies” from the musical of the same name, a sequel to “Phantom of the Opera.” Being named the winner was quite a shock to Annika as she said she was so impressed by everyone who competed. It came down
to the final two, she and another girl and they were holding hands in a “death grip.” “I told myself I don’t care who wins because it was such an amazing experience but when they said my name I thought ‘Is that correct?’,” Annika recalled. “I was shaking so hard I almost tripped over the steps. I could not believe it, I still cannot believe I get to do what I get to do at the end of June.” Both Hunter and Annika will leave on June 25 for New York City to start two weeks of rehearsals for The Jimmy Awards. They will learn group numbers and medleys with winners from 31 regional companies, and additionally take master classes and have private coaching and interviews with theater professionals. The hosts of the Jimmy Awards are Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana, Tony Award-nominated actors from Broadway’s “Cinderella.” Hunter and Annika will perform at the Minskoff where “The Lion King” is staged on Broadway. “It’s a huge deal,” Hunter said. “It’s going to be the greatest experience of my life.” See GLOBE, Page 21

Solana Santa Fe Reading Together
Allison McGee, Solana Santa Fe’s reading specialist A small group of Solana Santa Fe students recently had the opportuniand Reading Together coordinator with Alexita ty to take on the role of teacher as part of a peer-reading program called Velasco and Michelle Molina-Lopez. Reading Together. The Solana Beach district-wide program was implemented at Solana Santa Fe last year. “I think peer tutoring changes everything,” said Allison McGee, the reading specialist and Reading Together Coordinator at the elementary school. “It’s amazing to watch how quickly they become good friends and the mentoring that goes on.” Over the school year, two different groups of students participated in Reading Together. During the most recent session, seven tutors were paired with younger Jordan Salter and Isabelle Flower students over a three-month period. In addition to reading, they participated in activities such as board games that encouraged reading fluency and comprehension. McGee said her favorite part of the program is the growth she sees in the students and the confidence they feel in reading. Twice a week McGee met with the tutors to go through the scripted lesson plan for the week. “They know exactly what to say and what questions to ask,” she said. “They really need to be prepared.” Aiden Gaines and Jimmy McGee said the school has definitely seen improvements in test scores Hardy after implementing the program. “It’s very exciting for us to see what an Anwar El Shahawi and LaRoi Glover impact it has had,” she said. “It really builds reading fluency on both ends.” More information about the Reading Together program is available on the Learning Together website: www.learningtogether.com Andria Molina and Jack Phillips

Patriot Profiles: ‘It’s not how well you outperform people — it’s how you work as a team’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY A Navy corpsman is an essential key to deep sea rescue operations. When a distress call comes a medical team reports to Undersea Rescue Command, and Command has 72 hours to get trained personnel and equipment to the sunken submarine site. Over the years, American and international sailors were tragically lost due to a lack of effective methods and technologies to remove survivors. The United States Navy’s next generation Submarine Rescue Diving Recompression System (SRDRS) leads the world in the ability to safely extract crews of disabled and trapped submarines running out of time on ocean floors. Petty Officer First Class Sunshine Padilla is a hospital corpsman attached to Undersea Rescue Command (URC) stationed at Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego. She’s a member of a triage team, whose main job is to make sure patient transport from the rescue module to the surface ship is “good to go.” Padilla describes triage as helping to sort and categorize the types of injuries, which result from burns, trauma from impact, near drowning, or the dreaded Decompression Sickness (DCS), when life-threatening nitrogen bubbles form in the blood or body tissues. The first SRDRS phase delivers
to the disabled sub an Atmospheric Dive System (ADS 2000). This manned one-atmosphere dive suit that can be lowered 2000 feet to inspect damage and clear escape hatches. The second phase deploys the Submarine Rescue SystemRescue Capable System (SRS-RCS), which is a tethered and remotely-operated two-manned module launched from the forward deck of the ship. It rescues up to 16 sailors at a time. Padilla states, “We mate this pressurized module to the submarine, try to get equal pressurization and get everyone out.” Depth of sub impact determines how many hours before survivors can surface. Padilla explains, “The deeper you get, the more air expands in the lungs. You don’t want to go up too fast or they can burst.” Gradual ascent is calculated by a dive table so air bubbles can equalize. Padilla and her medical team step up once the remote module reaches the rescue ship. “I look through the incoming patients or ask the person assisting the patients ‘what are the symptoms?’” If Padilla sees any obvious signs of distress she relates that to her provider, the Dive Medical Officer who is an ENT surgeon. She must also be “watchdog” to make sure no further injuries occur. The third and final phase will
use the Transfer Under Pressure System (TUPS) to be delivered to the Navy in November 2013. TUPS will allow sailors rescued from pressurized subs to remain under pressure during transfer to hyperbaric treatment chambers on board the support ship. “They haven’t given me a job description for this, but I know when it comes in we’re going to do man-training,” she adds grinning, “I’m going to be the test dummy.” The diversity of undersea rescue is very challenging to someone who did not come from a diving background. “I’ve always been on shore commands where it involves a hospital. My background as a general corpsman was mainly emergency room – nasal gastric (NG) tube placements, trauma stuff from sutures to immediate patient action. Now, I have to deal with the dive community, the sub community, and private contractors.” Sunshine was named by her mother for the first thing she saw after her birth. Her parents migrated to Ingleside, Calif., over 30 years ago and still live Philippine cultural ideals that everyone is family. “I didn‘t want to be a Filipino who stays at home until married. I wanted to travel — get away and be independent,” Padilla said. That independence shines a light on a culture that takes pride in their sons and daughters entering the

Father of five Dave Roberts spearheads Exceptional Families Adoption Campaign
BY KATHY DAY Local resident Dave Roberts spent last week doing what a lot of parents were doing: Attending his son’s awards ceremony at Torrey Pines High; going to see his 9-year-old son in a t h i r d g r a d e p l a y ; catching h i s daughter’s first hula recital; sharing news that his 5-yearDave Roberts old son had been named “Inspirational Kindergartner of the Year”; and that his 12-yearold son had been named to the Little League All-Star Team. Oh, and fulfilling his duties as a county supervisor, which included participating in a forum on nuclear energy – which meant having to explain to the former Prime Minister of Japan that he had to leave early for the two school events on
PATRIOT continued from page 18 medical field. HM1 Padilla brought her sunny disposition and work disciplines to Undersea Rescue Command, winning “Sailor of the Year” in 2012. Her humble version of how she got there is, “I just do what I’m told. I like doing community service — command involvement. I don’t really whine or complain. I’m thankful they’ve acknowledged that.” Her Navy Achievement Medal (NAM) was based on knowledge, skill, effort, performance, oral presentation, military bearing, and performance. Excellence in these categories is often times hard-won. She remembers being freaked out as a newly trained E3 serving in Kuwait. A mass casualty incident rousted her out of bed at 3 a.m. “I didn’t know what to do”, she says. When the 13 patients from the U.S Carl Vinson came through, that’s when everything the Navy taught her bloomed. “The fun,” as she tags it, “went on for about six hours until we got everyone stabilized and triaged.” Serving with the Marines is a future goal, as Navy Corpsmen attend to their medical needs. The closest field trauma she’s encountered is taking a Combat Casualty Care (TripleC) course. “It made me hyped up. I wanted hands-on everything.” She knows the risks, “I can’t let fear get to me.” Padilla’s hardest test was
June 4. While it’s all in a day’s work for Roberts, a former Solana Beach City Councilman, it’s not so traditional for a couple of reasons. First, he is gay, married to Wally Oliver, who has been his partner for more than 14 years. Oliver, a third-generation San Diegan and retired Air Force master sergeant, and Roberts run J2 Enterprises, a property management firm. That enables Oliver to double as a business person and “stay-at-home dad and taxi service,” Roberts said. Second, the couple’s children were all their foster children whom they chose to adopt. Three of them are biologically related, Roberts said. And even though their third experience in adopting resulted in litigation – which they won – he believes the system works and the couple stands ready to adopt again if the need arises. “Two of our three birth mothers have had [other] babies,” he said, adding that they recently met with one of the mothers and her 5-month-old child. “That means we have first right of refusal if things don’t work out … We want to keep the families together.”
Their experience and knowledge of the foster care and adoption system in San Diego County prompted Roberts to team up with fellow Supervisor Greg Cox to spearhead the new Exceptional Families Adoption Campaign, which earned the unanimous support of the Board of Supervisors. The drive aims to increase awareness about the need for adoptive families – who may themselves be non-traditional like the Roberts-Oliver family – or who are willing to adopt children who are in sibling groups that want to stay together or who have behavioral, developmental, psychological or medical needs, Roberts said. “We want to refocus the spotlight,” he said. “It was on foster kids in general; we want to move it more to the exceptional families and exceptional children … There are 3.2 million people in the county. There have to be homes for these children.” He cited, as an example, a family that recently adopted a child they had been fostering who was so severely abused that he will need the assistance of medical equipment for life, Roberts said. He and Oliver first learned about the county’s
working with detainees at GITMO, a classified subject, but offers, “You have to apply more psychology.” Her greatest accomplishment was leading 35 junior sailors in her old command, “From my [Corpsman] experience, I trained them well [teaching] it’s not how well you out-perform people – it’s how you work as a team.” Half of those sailors graduated with a degree or were selected for awards. There hasn’t been a major submarine disaster since August 2000, when the Russian K-141 Kursk sank in the Barents Sea. All 118 sailors on board died. For now, Padilla hones her lifesaving skills in training events such as Bold Monarch — an international submarine rescue exercise held in Spain. Everybody was there – the French, Spanish, Canadian and, for the first time in history, the Russians joined in. “We mated with different subs and pretended patients were in distress that needed medical attention.” A playful 3-year-old daughter loves to go to grandma’s when Padilla has to go to work. HMI Padilla tells her, “I’m going to be a hero today, so when I come back, I’ll be a mom again.” Her daughter replies, “OK, I want to be Dora today.” For that anxious sailor trapped thousands of feet underwater, he wants to be a survivor that day. When he steps out of the rescue module, a ray of ‘Sunshine’ will be waiting, offering her welcoming hand.
GLOBE continued from page 12 “It’s going to be a lot of hard work but it will pay off when we get to stand on that stage and perform and everything just comes together,” Annika said. In addition to the thrill of performing on Broadway, three finalists will be selected and a winner will receive a $10,000 scholarship. In the fall, Hunter will attend UC Santa Barbara where he will major in physics with a minor in French — “I’m big into academics as well as theater,” he says, but notes he hopes to keep performing with local Santa Barbara theater groups. Annika will actually be making a return trip to New York at the end of summer as she will attend Syracuse University and plans to study acting. “I’m really excited for next year and doing all of the productions they have to offer,” Annika said. Winners of all Globe Honors categories received $1,000 scholarships, and the winners of the Musical, Spoken and Technical Theater categories will participate in a two-day trip to Los Angeles where they will go behind the scenes at Center Theatre Group, attend a casting workshop and take in a show.
Dave Roberts and his family efforts years ago at the San Diego County Fair. Their son, who is graduating from Torrey Pines on June 14, joined their family when he was in kindergarten, Roberts said, noting the graduation is bittersweet since it means the new grad will be leaving home once he follows through on his desire to enlist in the military. This year, after an absence of several years, the county staff will again be visible at the Fair, promoting the new adoption effort
and sharing information about foster programs as well. It’s just the beginning, Roberts said, noting that the staff is currently working on the specifics of their outreach efforts and coordinating with the county’s Health and Human Services Department. In addition, he and Cox are discussing other ways to improve the system. Each year about 400 children are adopted – figures on the number of foster children range from more
than 3,000 to 5,000. And each year about 45 children ready for adoption are left out, Roberts said. “We think there’s a loving home for every child, and every child deserves a loving family,” he added. “It’s wonderful to be parents. Our kids have changed our lives.” Learn more about the Exceptional Families Adoption Campaign at IADOPTU. org; 1-877-I-ADOPT-U (877423-6788), or email info@ iadoptu.org

‘We DIG Heritage Celebration’ On Friday, May 31, the families at Diegueño Country School took a 100year voyage back in time to the shores of Ellis Island. In a re-enactment of the journey taken by millions of hopeful souls, the families were met by inspection officers, reviewed by immigration nurses, and heard the powerful stories of countless immigrants who took the long journey to America in pursuit of a better life. The evening of May 31 marked the culmination of a year-long heritage study at Diegueño that involved ancestor interviews, walking in the shoes of their ancestors through writings, and performance art. The students and their families celebrated their ancestral roots, their stories, their challenges and triumphs. The Heritage Celebration, “The Arrival,” was a meaningful tribute to our ancestral roots. Diegueño Country School is accepting applications for fall enrollment.

Education Matters/Opinion
Canyon Crest waitlist blues; RSF stipends granted BY MARSHA SUTTON Success has its price. The increasing popularity of Canyon Crest Academy as a school of choice Marsha Sutton has resulted this year in more lottery applications for incoming ninth grade than any other year since the school opened in 2004. Because it’s public school, those accepted are not obligated to attend. There is no deposit required, no financial risk at stake, no sign-on-the-dotted-line agreement. Typically a certain percentage of students accepted by lottery at a school of choice decides later to attend a different high school, usually their boundary school which in the southern portion of the San Dieguito Union High School District is Torrey Pines. So the district has learned to overbook, just like airlines do, and admit more kids over the allowable enrollment, expecting a certain number to opt out. Then kids are accepted from the waitlist as space opens up. Historically, “there’s a certain level of attrition” when the district admits students in ninth grade to CCA, said Rick Ayala, San Dieguito’s director of pupil services and alternative programs, who oversees the lottery process at CCA. Ayala, who is also the principal of San Dieguito’s Sunset and North Coast alternative high schools, said the district received 747 applications for CCA’s ninth grade for the fall of 2013, the most ever. He said 610 were admitted, and 137 were waitlisted. With seats for 450 to 480 students per grade level (about 1,800 total for all four grades at CCA), the district admitted about 33 percent more incoming ninthgrade students than available seats. But this year, more students accepted enrollment at CCA than expected. “There was hardly any attrition this year, not like in years past,” Ayala said. To accept students from the waitlist, more than 150 students would have had to decline. And that did not happen. So the district was forced to turn away all waitlisted students. The minutes from SDUHSD’s May 16 board meeting read that “all high school choice students on the waitlist were scheduled to be notified that there will be no one moved off the waitlist.”
Ayala said no exceptions were made for any student, contrary to rumors that kids excelling in certain sports were allowed in ahead of others. Posted on the district’s Facebook page May 21 was the following message: “This year, as in years past, we had more students select CCA and SDA [San Dieguito Academy] than there is space available so a lottery was conducted to determine admittance priority. Based upon many years of experience with this high school selection process, we know that after the high school selection process ends, we will have students who were initially admitted to either CCA or SDA who never end up enrolling. In anticipation of this attrition, during our initial acceptance process we over-enroll both schools. Some years the subsequent attrition is significant enough to allow us to invite students from the wait lists to attend either CCA or SDA and in some years there is not sufficient attrition to allow for further enrollment from the wait lists because the school is already at or above capacity. This year the enrollment attrition at CCA and SDA was not sufficient enough at either school to allow for further enrollment from the wait list. Both schools are at or above capacity for the 2013-14 school year and therefore, even with any further attrition, there will be no further students admitted to either CCA or SDA for the 2013-14 school year.” After everyone on the ninth-grade waitlist was notified of this decision, there was quite an uproar among parents whose kids really, really wanted Canyon Crest. Some comments from the Facebook page: •“Most kids are now putting CCA as their first choice, even if they don’t feel strongly about that school, since they know TP is a ‘safety school’ for them. This strategy dilutes the pool for people who really want to go to CCA for a specific reason (arts, for example).” •“Our neighbor’s son didn’t really want to go to CCA but put down the lottery just so he could decide later. Well, once he got accepted and decided he did not want to attend, he went back to Torrey Pines counselors only to find out that most of the electives were now full. So he could not get any electives he wanted. So, he just decided, what the heck, I am just going to stay at CCA. I have to say, the current system encourages this type of poor decisionmaking. And it shortchanges those kids who are mak-
ing good decisions and have specific reasons they want to go to one school over another (like the film program or the conservatory, etc.). The system clearly needs to be revamped.” •“What gets me is that both principals at CCA and TPHS made a point of telling parents and students that everyone gets in to their choice by the end of the summer. I have one very sad daughter right now.” •“There has to be a better way to do this. … What a shame that this year’s group of kids aren’t being afforded the same opportunity, especially since expectations were set by making a waitlist in the first place.” •“The email sent out Friday night (after hours when no one can call) was lame and gives no rationale. … My son is very upset about this as he wanted to go to CCA.” •“From what I understand, in years past, kids that were waitlisted usually got in even if it was at the last minute. Hoping for all the kids that are waitlisted (including my own) that the district will realize an error has been made and retract their statement in order to fill the open spots I am certain exist.” Parent Eric Wesson offered his speculations: “I think this issue is entirely within SDUHSD’s hands, and I think not only have they bungled it, they have been heavy-handed in their public comments. It does not make sense that they would admit no waitlist students in 2011, all in 2012, and then none in 2013. I would like to see their handling of it brought to light.” Although accepting one-third more kids than available seats seems risky, it worked out last year when the numbers gave administrators guidance on how to proceed this year. According to data provided by the district, for the 2012-2013 CCA school year for incoming ninth-graders, 599 students were accepted, 457 actually enrolled, and no waitlisted students were denied enrollment. Going by the previous year, the district admitted about the same number this year – 610. But because of strong demand, it didn’t work out as neatly as before. The school with something for everyone Is it surprising that Canyon Crest, with its increasingly stellar academic reputation and growing demand from students interested in technology and the arts, didn’t get as many rejections as before? Given the school’s popularity and well-deserved ac-

GOLF continued from page 1 Kim became an overnight celebrity of sorts as he remained in contention in the final day on June 16. He rose to as high as third, trailing by just two strokes after he birdied four of six holes on the back nine on the third day. He was interviewed by Bob Costas in front of a national television audience on the third day of the tournament. In addition to finishing ahead of Woods, who placed tied for 32nd, Kim finished ahead of professional tour stars Ian Poulter (tied for 21st), Matt Kuchar (tied for 28th) and Rory McIlroy (tied for 41st), among others. “That feels awesome,” Kim told reporters in Ardmore, Pa., about being the low amateur. “I had a diffi-
TEACHER
continued from page 1 nomics — he really had no intention of becoming a teacher. Upon graduating he decided he “wanted to make a difference” so he joined up with Teach for America. Teach for America is an organization that places mostly college graduates and other professionals into teaching positions in low-income schools with serious needs. Members of Teach for America make a two-year commitment to teach but two years was not enough for Gettinger. “Once I got into the classroom and started working with the students, it became too hard to leave so I decided to stay in education,” Gettinger said. Gettinger earned his preliminary credentials and took night classes to get his full credentials, earning his master’s degree in urban education, educational policy and administration at Loyola Marymount University. Gettinger was originally placed in Fremont High School, a very low performing school in south Los Angeles that was undergoing reconstitution, a process where they were so low performing that the district removed the administration and the entire staff had to reapply for their jobs. Less than 50 percent of the existing staff was brought back at Fremont. “I was part of the crew that was brought in,” Gettinger said. Gettinger was assigned to a class of algebra 1 repeaters, students who had previously failed the class.
cult ending, but the overall week [was] just an incredible experience.” Kim’s appearance at the U.S. Open followed his being named the Haskins Award w i n n e r, an honor bestowed to the best men’s collegiate player voted on by players, coaches and members of the national media. Previous Haskins Award winners include Woods, Phil Mickelson and Justin Leonard. “For my name to be part of that is an unbelievable honor,” Kim said. The Haskins Award is the latest honor on what’s become a long and growing list. Kim also received the Jack Nicklaus Award from the Golf Coaches Association of America and was “I’ve got to tell you that at first I didn’t know what I was doing and the students knew that,” Gettinger said. “I had to learn quickly how to be more effective because that’s what the students needed.” In his second year as a teacher, he joined the staff of Huntington Park High, which was also going through a reconstitution. He said he was quickly embraced by the students, staff and the community as he continued to work to be the best teacher he could be. His students deal with difficult issues outside of school, such as a lack of stability in their family lives and gangs. As a teacher, he aims to support his students and provide learning experiences that improve their critical thinking, allowing them to investigate content and discover it on their own. “My students are really smart and the worst thing I can do as a teacher is get in the way,” Gettinger said. He said his students won’t develop those critical thinking skills if they’re just sitting and copying notes and listening to him speak — he needs them to engage in the material. Next year, Gettinger will move from an everyday teacher to a position as math coach for the school, supporting other teachers in the math department as they build curriculum. It was a tough decision to leave the classroom but he feels like it will make the school better as a whole. “For me it’s about how can I make the most impact,” Gettinger said. “That’s really what it’s all about.

Kim is just two years removed from his distinguished prep career. He led Torrey Pines to a state title in 2011. He considers his
experience at Torrey Pines integral to his development. “Through the years we had unbelievable teams,” Kim said, noting that virtually everyone on the teams he played on in his junior and senior years have gone on to play at Division I colleges. “We didn’t have to play that great to beat the other teams, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have that internal competition between us,” Kim said. The competition between Kim and former Falcons teammate Jay Hwang was especially fierce, Kim recalls. Hwang now plays at UCLA. “We were the top two guys and there was always that competition between us,” Kim said. Torrey Pines coach Chris Drake said Kim had just as much impact on the
program, with his confidence rubbing off on teammates. “I think Michael had a lot more confidence in himself,” Drake said. “He let them know it was OK to be confident; not cocky but confident. I think they picked that up from Michael.” But despite his success in high school, Kim wasn’t a highly-coveted collegiate prospect, in large part because his slight frame doesn’t fit the prototype for today’s distance-oriented game. “It’s not like I blame any of the college coaches,” Kim said. “If I was a college coach there’s no way I would take a senior in high school that looked like I did.” Kim, who is currently listed as a 5-foot-11, 150-pounder, doesn’t regu-

Construction underway is focused on developing the various event venues. One of the most completed of all the spaces is the home of an old golf retail shop that is being transformed into the executive suite. The suite will be the spot for smaller corporate events and a bridal suite, complete with dressing rooms and private bathroom. “In the future if we do concerts, it can also be the green room for the band,” Caty said. In the 2,400-squarefoot La Campagna (chapel), details are being added so it can function as a multi-use event room — there will be a groom’s room, storage rooms, bathroom and video/audio for corporate events. Another courtyard-adjacent building will function as a “perfect Plan B” wedding venue in the event of rain on an outdoor wedding.

Caty said it was “like Christmas” to finally see how big the grand ballroom will be with all the walls knocked down — framing has been set up for a banquet kitchen off the space. “The nice thing about this space is that we have a lot of natural light. We have a lot of windows so this won’t be a stuffy ballroom and I think that will really attract people,” Caty said. “It’s a very dynamic room. One whole wall is all glass and double doors and will bring the feel of the village inside.” Ready for business today is the event company’s Cielo Bistro and restaurant Terrazo Amoré.

Site of the defunct restaurant Decanter, the space received new paint, lighting and flooring but kept Decanter’s beautiful floorto-ceiling wine display case. The case was split in half to open up the restaurant to seat 120 people — the other part of the case was moved near the entrance and can be customized with event-specific decorations.

It’s definitely paying off now.” And while nobody saw Kim’s career advancing so far so fast, Drake said it was apparent Kim had unusually high growth potential when he left Torrey Pines. “We saw glimpses of that potential,” Drake said. “His junior year he shot a 65 in the first round of the CIF tournament. That was sort of our first glimpse of what he could do. I think he still has a lot of potential.”

A custom event menu can be made from their wide variety of offerings: Chenelle’s “famous” eggs Benedict, boxed lunches, lobster tail and filet mignon, barbecue or Italian buffets, stations that serve up everything from waffles to mashed potato martinis and desserts such as white chocolate blueberry cheesecake. The restaurant also features a large patio with gorgeous views that Caty could envision as a place for a private, quiet celebration of life or memorial. Pacifica also owns 22 acres of the hill surrounding the property and Caty said they have plans to create a vineyard as a second venue/reception area. “That’s all definitely going to be down the road,” Caty said. “Our plan in the future is to have a hotel and become a complete destination.” Cielo Village Events will also host its own events at the center about once a month. Upcoming on Saturday, June 29, is “Cigars and Crafts,” an event featuring hand-rolled cigars, tastings from craft brewer Rip Current Brewing Co. and house-made IPA sausages from Chef Chenelle.

claim, it’s likely that next year’s “overbooking” rate will be lowered to avoid giving waitlisted students false hope that they might actually have a chance. Kids who really want CCA as their clear first choice because they are attracted passionately to the arts and technology programs, which are indeed unique among not just San Dieguito schools but perhaps all other high schools in the county, belong at CCA. But because CCA is not just an arts/tech focus school but, by demand, has also now morphed into a top-tiered sports school (which is where Torrey Pines used to have its special niche), CCA fits everyone’s needs. And that’s not good for the arts/tech kids. If CCA got back to its founding roots and de-emphasized sports (which were formerly for fun, recreational and not highly competitive), then the students who want high academics and intensely competitive sports programs will once again be attracted to Torrey. The kids interested primarily in outstanding academics combined with innovative arts and technology (and some recreational non-competitive sports thrown in), will find CCA the best fit. And everything sorts itself out just fine. As it is now, why wouldn’t every student prefer CCA over Torrey? They are both high-achieving schools, and both offer great athletic programs. Unless you want football or cheerleading, CCA offers all sports plus the arts and technology. Another difference is that CCA has that fastpaced 4x4 schedule, but that attracts as many students as it repels. So dial back athletics at CCA, create true choices in high school focus, and make schools distinct in their appeal. When you create a school “of choice” that offers the highest level of everything for everyone, what happened this year can’t come as a great surprise. It’s just a huge disappointment for many arts/tech kids locked out of a high school experience that can be lifechanging. Stipends in Rancho Santa Fe give employees a bit extra In other news, the Rancho Santa Fe School District’s Board of Education authorized $36,000 in stipends to nine employees at its June 6 meeting. The stipends were approved on the Consent agenda, so there was no discussion.
District superintendent Lindy Delaney, in an email, said, “Many of these stipends are for long-standing standard programs we offer. They are not considered a bonus but rather stipends for work to be performed next year.” In a phone interview, Delaney explained that this money is a combination of dollars from the district’s general fund and its private education foundation. She said these stipends are for work employees would not do during normal school hours. “If they can get it done during their working hours, that wouldn’t constitute a stipend,” she said. It’s like a coach’s stipend, “but it’s related to a program.” Although teachers often work outside of school hours to prepare lessons or grade papers, that’s not considered stipend work. “I expect all the teachers to prepare for their core classes that they teach,” Delaney said. Stipends, she said, are given for “extra responsibility,” and the district, she said, is clear “about what we pay for and what we don’t pay for.” Stipends like these have been given out for the past 21 years as part of the general budget, Delaney said, but this year she received legal advice to list them on the monthly agenda. The largest of these, $10,000 from the district’s general fund, was approved for assistant superintendent Cindy Schaub, for her work to implement state-mandated Common Core academic standards. Schaub works 85 percent full-time and is leading the district’s transition to Common Core which needs to be implemented statewide by 2014. Delaney said she recently learned the district is expecting about $108,000 from the state to help fund Common Core implementation. She plans to use the money over the next two years, on labor, time, materials, professional development and other resources. According to School Services of California, a financial and advocacy resource center for education in California, Sacramento will provide districts with about $170 per student based on average daily attendance to help fund instructional materials, professional development and technology necessary to implement the national Common Core academic content standards adopted by the state Board of Education. The current trailer bill language, as proposed, further states that “these funds must be expended pursuant to a plan adopted by the respective LEA [local educa-
tional agency] governing boards following the adoption of the plan in a public hearing.” Delaney said Schaub’s $10,000 stipend and all future related stipends for Common Core work will be reimbursed to the general fund once the state money becomes available. Other employees who received stipends for the coming year, in amounts “not to exceed,” are: • Steve Rossier, athletic director, $6,000 from general fund and foundation [“We have an extensive athletic program with 16 team sports offered each year and a ‘no cut’ policy in place,” Delaney said.] • Paul Coco and Maureen Cassarino, Student Council advisors, $1,500 each from general fund • Paul Coco, Mathematics Chair, $2,000 from general fund • Maureen Cassarino, Literacy Lending Library Coordinator and staff development for English & language arts, $3,000 from general fund • Elena Colvin, Science Discovery Day, $1,000 from foundation • John Galipault, Science Discovery Day, $500 from foundation • John Galipault, robotics team, $4,000 from general fund and foundation • Dave Warner, robotics team, $4,000 from general fund and foundation • Kelly Stine, Science Chair, $2,000 from general fund • Michele Schnyder, Patriotic Week Coordinator, $500 from foundation Delaney did not know the exact split between funding from the general fund and the foundation. “The stipend probably comes more out of the district than the education foundation, but the foundation provides [and] pays for most of the programs,” she said. To illustrate, the foundation might provide $10,000 for Science Discovery Day. If $8,500 is spent, then the extra money can be used on stipends, she said. But if the entire foundation amount is spent, then the district’s general fund covers the stipends. Using science as an example, she said, “We spend far more on science teachers than they [the foundation] give us, but what they give us helps offset the cost of the science teachers.” Delaney said she provides the foundation with a budget for literacy support, teachers, small class sizes, science, math and special programs. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

After the Finish Line fundraisers return in support of former racehorses to the Majesty of Thoroughbreds,� held at the Hilton San Diego/Del Mar during the Del Mar racing season. The sixth annual edition is set from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 1, and it will include a reception, live and silent auctions, a pledge session, a guest speaker and dinner. And because the hotel is newly renovated, “it will feel like an entirely new event,� Mellen promised. At least 200 items will be up

further help pay for his expenses, the nonprofit sought assistance from After the Finish Line. Once Alyrob began to get the care he needed, his attitude changed, said Dawn Mellen, president of After the Finish Line. “He blossomed as a horse again,� she said. “He’s an alpha gelding, just loving life.� “Alyrob has changed from the thin, fiery beast who came here four years ago,� said Nadine Hoy, founder of Project Spirit. “He is a part of my herd, and is one happy lad. It took four dentals to correct his awful mouth, it had been neglected (for) way too long. He is now going gray, and is aging better than we had originally hoped. It took two years to get his body in shape and to a healthy weight. He looks and acts absolutely fabulous, and we are thrilled beyond measure that we have the privilege
of watching him grow old with his band of thugs, entertaining the locals of Keno (Ore.), and loving his many visitors. We send After the Finish Line a huge thank you!� Alyrob’s case is just one example of the many brought to After the Finish Line, a Toluca Lakebased group that assists in the rehabilitation and care of former racehorses until they are adopted, saving them from slaughter and neglect. Founded in October 2007 by Mellen, who has a home in Rancho Santa Fe, the nonprofit contributes funds to thoroughbred rescue and retirement organizations across the country. In 2012, the nonprofit signed 65 checks for a total of $102,000 to help groups in 17 states. But the need for financial aid is clearly growing, as costs for necessities such as hay are increasing.
In the first five months of this year, After the Finish Line had already awarded nearly $60,000 in grants to about 30 organizations, including: Friends of Ferdinand, United Pegasus Foundation, Southern California Thoroughbred Rescue, The Exceller Fund, Neigh Savers Foundation, The Golden Carrot, Saving Horses, Heavenly Horse Rescue, Harmony and Hope Horse Haven, Equine Encore, ReRun and CANTER Pennsylvania. On average, groups seek grants between $500 and $2,000, according to Mellen. To assist these organizations, After the Finish Line relies on its own fundraisers and donations. “Every year, we have grown, through the donations received and rewarded,� Mellen said. For 2013, seven major fundraisers have been planned around the country. The largest one is the “Tribute
for auction, including racing and equestrian items, photography, memorabilia, wine, restaurant gift cards, lodging, jewelry, artwork, sports and movie tickets, retail store gift cards, spa and salon packages, and rounds of golf. Donations — which are taxdeductible — are still needed, and sponsorship and volunteer opportunities are available. Last year, more than 150 people attended “A Tribute to the Majesty of Thoroughbreds,� and $77,000 was raised. This year’s monetary goal is $100,000, Mellen said. “Save the date — everyone looks forward to the Del Mar racing season, and the community revolves around the racing meet,� she said. “Besides our enjoyment ... think about these horses, these See RACEHORSES, Page B22

BY KELLEY CARLSON After a long period of neglect, everything is finally coming up roses for a former Kentucky Derby runner, thanks to the help of a local nonprofit equine foundation. Alyrob was primarily a California-based racehorse, who finished eighth in the 1996 edition of the “Run for the Roses� in Louisville, Ky. Following his retirement from the track, he was retrained as a hunter/jumper and competed as a show horse. However, Alyrob’s legs couldn’t handle the high-impact activity, and subsequently he was retired from that sport. Eventually, Alyrob’s owner asked Project Spirit Horse Rescue in Oregon to board the horse on its property, and agreed to send monthly payments to cover expenses for dental, boarding, feed and the farrier. When Alyrob arrived at the organization’s property, he was thin, had bad teeth and feet, and was stressed and full of fight. The owner’s payments to the rescue were irregular, and then stopped altogether. Consequently, the founders of Project Spirit shouldered the bill for Alyrob’s expenses, using their personal funds, since the former racehorse was a resident of the property and not officially a part of the rescue program. To keep Alyrob at the rescue, Project Spirit contacted local authorities and had him deemed abandoned by his owner. Then to

Bali Hai whispers in the wind of the sea: ‘Here am I, your special diner! Come to me, come to me!’ BY KELLEY CARLSON t the northeastern tip of San Diego’s Shelter Island is a landmark restaurant that practically transports guests to the South Pacific islands. Bali Hai Restaurant — named for a famous show tune — opened in 1955 and was the first building in a newly constructed neighborhood that had previously been a mere sandbank in San Diego Bay. Today, the community of Shelter Island is filled with marinas, hotels, parks and restaurants, yet Bali Hai continues to garner much attention from residents and worldwide travelers. There’s plenty of free parking for those who drive and there is a dock just outside the disc-shaped restaurant for those cruising the water in vessels. The building is constructed from more than 15 types of wood, some of it rare. Outside the front entrance is Mr. Bali Hai, a large droopy-lidded face that people love posing next to for photos. And on top of the roof is the head of “The Goof,� an icon with a bit of a mysterious past. Once inside, guests ascend to the second floor to reach the main dining room, which offers a panoramic view of San Diego Bay, downtown’s skyline and North Island. “Going to lunch is like going for a vacation,� said Bali Hai owner Larry Baumann, son-in-law of original owner Tom Ham.

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On the Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly/menurecipes
■This week’s recipe: Bali Hai’s Sansho Rubbed Escolar darkness arrives, the city lights begin to twinkle. Occasionally, guests are treated to the moon rising over the skyline. The dining room features island-inspired decor and is filled with more than 100 Polynesian artifacts, such as wood weapons, tiki figures, antique tapa cloths and ocean charts. In the cocktail lounge, patrons can watch a sporting event on flat-screen TVs or share a fruity, turquoise-hued Scorpion Bowl for two. In the center of the room is the bar, where an overhead digital counter display keeps track of every World Famous Bali Hai Mai Tai ordered. The restaurant’s signature cocktail is created from the original Trader Vic’s recipe
and guests are warned beforehand that it is strong. It’s a mix of Coruba Jamaican Dark Rum, Ron Rico Light Rum, orange liqueur and sweet and sour; no fruit juice is added. The drink is so popular, Bali Hai gets calls from bars in Hawaii seeking the recipe, and people from around the world stop at the restaurant specifically to try one, according to Baumann. As of the mid-afternoon June 9, there had been a total of 2,233,248 Mai Tais ordered, 22,232 of them in 2013. Patrons can whet their appetizers with items such as the Scallop Carpaccio, thin slices of scallops with XO oil, fennel, black lava salt and small, tart slices of lime that enhance the dish’s flavor; the Battered Crab Cakes, topped with kimchi bean sprouts and served in a slightly spicy sauce; and pieces of Crispy Ahi Tuna with colorful cucumber ceviche and togarashi water. Among the notable Pacific Rim-inspired cuisine from Executive Chef Dion Morales is the Rice Cracker Crusted King Salmon on a bed of edamame with bacon lardons, teasmoked dashi and sweet cipollini onions; and the Spice Rubbed Swordfish, which rests on a soba-noodle salad with an orange sesame vinaigrette. Other favorites include the Pan Seared Halibut, Confit Duck Leg and Seared Diver Scallops. Baumann revealed he recently signed a 40-year lease for Bali Hai and his family’s other establishment, Tom Ham’s Lighthouse.

RSF Garden Club, FanFaire Foundation to present ‘Chamber Music is Fun’ concert June 29
Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and FanFaire Foundation will present “Chamber Music is Fun� on June 29 at 2:30 p.m. The show features San Diego’s up and coming Impromptu Quartet of young musicians and other members of FanFaire Foundation’s “KIDS Playing For KIDS� program in a variety program of classical music, Broadway musicals, and movie soundtracks The Quartet members, whose ages range from 13 to 21, are Eli Grote (cello), Allan Huang (second violin), Christopher Wong (viola) and Jonathan Wong (first violin). They are founding members of FanFaire Foundation’s “KIDS Playing For KIDS� program who performed at the program’s launch in October 2011. The Quartet, like the other members of the program, Clara Truong (piano) and Paul Maxwell (cello), who will also appear in the show playing pieces by Saint-Saens and Paganini, are among San Diego’s most talented young musicians. They all learned to play their musical instruments at a very young age and have distinguished themselves by consistently winning competitions and participating in music festivals. Eli Grote, for example, has played at the Silicon Valley Music Festival and China’s Great Wall Music Festival and has performed around the world with the Civic Youth Orchestra in places such as Sweden, Finland, Russia, and New Zealand. In addition, all of these young artists are not only musically gifted but also excel in math and science — quite in line with FanFaire Foundation’s mission of nurturing the kind of creativity much-needed in this knowledge-based economy through programs that highlight the often ignored creative convergence of music and science. The concert is open to the public. Tickets: Free/free-will donations welcome. Donations will benefit FanFaire Foundation’s youth development and community programs.

A variety of unique musicians to highlight 2013-14 Community Concerts of RSF season BY GAIL KENDALL, PRESIDENT The 2012-13 season for Community Concerts of RSF has come to a close, and in early August an all-volunteer group will already be traveling to Nashville, Tenn., to select the 2014-15 season concerts. But, right now, we are in the midst of selling the 2013-14 season. This past season unquestionably was one of our most popular seasons to date. CCRSF is known for our eclectic variety of music, meaning music pleasing to most of the people most of the time, with a focus on light-hearted, fun, and top caliber performers. Thanks to the generosity of our advertisers and donor support, CCRSF has been able to book our first choices the last few years. In keeping with our eclectic choices, this next season — our 14th! — will be totally different from last season, but equally superb in talent and musical skills. The season begins Nov. 15 with Anthony Kearns, a founding member of platinum-selling vocal sensation “The Irish Tenors,” and recognized in 2010 as the “Best Irish Tenor” in the U.S., UK and European Union. Accompanied on piano, the strength and tenderness of his voice captures the spirit of classic opera, popular song, and the music of his homeland. He will make you cry when he sings Danny Boy. Jesse Lynch’s Jazz 101 follows on Jan. 17. Jesse has played piano for popular veterans Daniel Rodriguez (who also performed for CCRSF) and The American Tenors and has wowed his own audiences playing everything from Beethoven and Bop to jazz and contemporary compositions. Jesse has an extensive professional history in jazz and classical music and his trio will lead our audience on a journey through the evolution and history of jazz through music and multi-media presentation. Jesse was one of the top presenters and we feel fortunate that RSF is on his tour! Locust Street Taxi comes to RSF Feb. 28. “Taxi”
is definitely in the eclectic category! You’ll be knockedout and kicked-in-the-pants with their musical genius, outstanding musicianship, well-crafted, memorable songs, and, especially, their infectious exuberance. Locust Street Taxi makes grandmothers smile, children laugh, baby-boomers dance, and every audience groove. They have been compared to the likes of Barenaked Ladies and Big Bad VooDoo Daddy. Totally fun! Going the opposite direction musically, on March 21 we conclude our season with the virtuosic talents of husband and wife duo Yang and Olivia Liu, on violin and piano. Each has won gold medals in Chinese national competitions, and Mr. Liu earned honors in the prestigious International Tchaikovsky competition in Moscow. They have appeared at top venues internationally and in the U.S. We feel very fortunate to have them entertaining our CCRSF audience here in RSF. This concert will be especially delightful being performed in the Sanctuary of the Village Church. All concerts, except for the Liu’s Classical program, will be performed as usual in the Village Church Fellowship Hall and all concerts are once again on Friday evenings. A concert evening with Community Concerts is all about fun, as well as superb entertainment. It’s a party! The evening begins when the doors open at 6:15 p.m. with a delicious variety of light supper selections that can be enjoyed with a glass of wine, so generously donated to CCRSF by Northern Trust. Intermission is a time for more treats, coffee, or maybe another glass of wine. And all this fun and entertainment only minutes from your home for most of you, and shared with so many of your friends and neighbors. Our Early Bird season ticket price is $200 for four concerts – only $50 per concert for all this fun and entertainment – and is still available through June 30. After June 30 the price is $225.

Playhouse’s ‘Tribes’ explores the consortiums we all live in BY DIANA SAENGER When San Diegans hear the word “tribes,” they think Native American Indians living nearby. However, the word represents a much broader concept — communities, societies, particular groups within a society, families. That’s the theme of La Jolla Playhouse’s upcoming production of “Tribes” by playwright Nina Raine and directed by David Cromer. An acerbic, yet comical look at family dynamics, “Tribes” was nominated for the 2010 Olivier Award for Best Play and was the winner of the 2012 Drama Desk and New York Critics Circle Awards. Billy (Russell Harvard) is deaf and struggles to keep up with a family that spends its time obsessing over its own individualities and seeking the attention of others. Billy’s lipreading skills leave him out of the loop and drive him to go outside his home “tribe” to find fulfillment. Shirley Fishburn, the Playhouse’s Director of New
Nina Raine’s ‘Tribes’ delves into how we communicate.
If you go What: ‘Tribes’ When: Matinees, evenings June 25-July 21 Where: Mandell Weiss Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UC San Diego campus Tickets: From: $15 Box Office: (858) 550-1010 Web: LaJollaPlayhouse.org Play Development and Resident Dramaturg, said she grew up with two deaf parents and two deaf aunts, so when she first saw “Tribes” in New York, she was totally enthralled. “I found the play gripping right from the beginning,” Fishburn said.
“Much of what happens in the play I experienced … I had a profound sense of recognition about not hearing and not listening, as many times growing up, I was not proficient (enough to know) what was being signed, so I was also not part of my family’s tribe.”
Need a change?
As Billy mingles out in the community, he connects with Daniel (Thomas DellaMonica), Sylvia (Meghan O’Neill), Beth (Lee Roy Rogers), Christopher (Jeff Still) and Ruth (Dina Thomas), who all help him discover a new tribe and a new world. Fishburn said she could identify with the character of Billy. She was a sign language interpreter in the 1970s, and worked in various situations from hospital settings to an auto body shop helping a deaf man who fixed cars. Her uncle started a deaf club called “The Union League,” and she would join her relatives there to see performances of dancers, actors and magic acts. “My experience goes right to the theme of ‘Tribes,’ about those who once belonged to the hearing world, then lost their hearing and had to integrate themselves into the culture (of the deaf),” Fishburn said. Most of the cast appeared in the Off Broadway production of “Tribes,”

along with director David Cromer, who was at the helm. “We were so fortunate to have David come here as the original director of this play,” Fishburn said. “He created a very realistic environment that takes place around the dining-room table, and includes directions and subtitles that are shown. It’s a brilliant scene that demonstrates three different ways to communicate.”
Those who are unaware of the challenges of being deaf will find the play just as intriguing as those who are familiar with the issues, Fishburn said. “The play’s subject is universal; we all yearn to listen, to have a voice and be understood by our family. In families with hearing impairment, both sides want to be able to communicate with each other. This play shows the different ways we do — or do not — communicate by the way we hear, listen and see.” And it’s not just a topic for folks dealing with deafness; in today’s world with all the distractions of cell phones, iPads and just too much going on, we all often fall into the category of not listening or fully understanding. “I belong to a theater tribe and I’m the child of a deaf adult tribe,” Fishburn said. “We all belong to different tribes in our daily lives, and that’s why this play will resonate with people from all walks of life.”

RSF Flowers joins in ‘The Lonely Bouquet’ Day; Community invited to participate On Saturday, June 29, Rancho Santa Fe Flowers & Gifts will be joining in on the first International Lonely Bouquet Day. All residents of Rancho Santa Fe and the surrounding communities are invited to attend for a free class and the opportunity to share some joy. The original concept comes from Belgium and a woman who decided that one day a year should be set aside to spread simply joy to strangers. The method being an “Adopt Me” hand-tied bouquet left randomly for someone to “adopt.” It has spread all across the globe in the month of June and stories are coming in from everywhere from the people who have taken the bouquets home or found a home for them. Penelope Bax, owner of Rancho Santa Fe Flowers and Gifts, is opening the shop located at 6012 La Granada, Rancho Santa Fe for a free, quick lesson on how to do a hand-tied bouquet and will supply free flowers and greens to complement flowers that are brought in for the project. “What began as a simple idea to spread the joy of flowers throughout our local countryside has blossomed into an initiative meant to inspire hobby gardeners all throughout the world,” Bax said. “After-all, the beauty of flowers knows no boundaries… it can’t be confined to just one country.” There is no cost or age limitation and Bax states, “Who would not want to give a smile and a giggle to someone who found a bouquet? Flowers make people feel good and what a way to make someone’s day!” The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 29, so participants have Sunday to “place” their Lonely Bouquets. Rancho Santa Fe Flowers and Gifts is located at 6012 La Granada in the Rancho Santa Fe Village and participants are encouraged to bring garden flowers to work with, as well as clippers. Bax will supply the Lonely Bouquet tags so she can track where your bouquets ended up. Where to leave your Lonely Bouquet is up to the participant. Bax encourages taking photos of where they are left, and she will post the results and photos at RSFFlowers.com. For more information on this worldwide movement, visit www.TheLonelyBouquet. com.

Jere and Joyce Oren to be honored at The Country Friends 2013 Art of Fashion Show The Country Friends announced recently that it is proud to honor Rancho Santa Fe residents Jere and Joyce Oren at the 58th Art of Fashion, the annual luncheon and runway show set to take place on Sept. 19 in partnership with South Coast Plaza at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. “Jere and Joyce Oren, longtime supporters of The Country Friends, are being honored for their incredible commitment to community,” says Anna Waite, chair of the Art of Fashion. Most recently, the Village Church Preschool in Rancho Santa Fe recognized the Orens for their generosity. The Orens financed the renovation of classrooms and offices, which has given a substantial facelift to classrooms, offices, and other work spaces, ensuring longevity to one of Rancho Santa Fe’s most enduring community treasures. Jere, a longtime member of Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club and head usher at the Village Church, was born in Massachusetts. He attended public schools and went on to Lafayette College in Easton, Penn., where he joined a fraternity and was captain of the softball team that won the all-campus championship, the fraternity’s first athletic trophy. After college, Jere joined the largest real estate office in New England. Later, a position at The Wall Street Journal led to a successful career with the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CIGNA today), culminating with his appointment as manager of the Boston brokerage office. Jere left Boston for Oahu, Hawaii, which was booming in the 1970s, to sell condos and land. In 1978, a 70-day cruise aboard the Royal Viking Sea brought Jere to Los Angeles, where he met Libby
Joyce and Jere Oren Sanger. The two were married for nearly 22 years before Libby’s passing in 1999. Eventually, Jere took a 100day world cruise and decided to settle in Rancho Santa Fe. There, he met Joyce Lane Dagle. Born in Oklahoma, Joyce spent her early years in Chicago. She married John P. Dagle, and has resided in San Francisco, Indianapolis, Glendale, Long Beach, and San Luis Obispo, and taught elementary school for 24 years. Widowed in 1992, Joyce moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 1993, and became a member of The Country Friends in 1994. Married for 12 years, Jere and Joyce volunteer regularly at The Country Friends Consignment Shop, and are also very involved in the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. For more than 30 years, Jere has greeted people at Scripps La Jolla from 4:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m. every Friday morning. The two share a love of travel by cruise ship to many major countries of the world, and they continue to contribute to numerous churches, Scripps Hospital (La Jolla and Encinitas), Lafayette College, the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA, the Roger Rower School’s Performing Arts Center, and the list goes on.
The Country Friends has formed an Honorary Committee to pay tribute to the Orens. Those who contribute $1,500 to The Art of Fashion will receive the following benefits: Two Premier seats at The Art of Fashion Runway Show • Two tickets to “Luncheon on the Lawn” following the show • Valet parking • Acknowledgment in the event program and media • Invitation for two to the exclusive cocktail party on Sept. 5 at Mille Fleurs To join the honorary committee, donate online at www.thecountryfriends.org (click on the “donate” tab). For more details please contact the Art of Fashion Honorary Committee Chair Esther Rodriguez at (858-4870615, estherlrodriguez@att. net).

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Ubuntu Hair Studio makes an international impact thanks to local generosity • Gratuities Build Bottle Schools in Guatemala Solana Beach colorist and stylist Serena Jenichs recently took a “voluntourismâ€? trip, funded completely by gratuities from Ubuntu Hair Studio clients in Solana Beach. Ubuntu’s commitment to its mission nurtures generosity that builds “bottle schoolsâ€? and strengthens communities in Guatemala. Thanks to its clients’ generous gratuities, Jenichs’ trip expenses were covered. The expenses included her hotels, transportation, meals, and tours. Leftover donations were sent to the 100 percent non-profit organization Hug it Forward to build more schools. You can find out more at servetheworldtoday.com about how to plan your very own group trip. Jenichs joined other Solana Beach/Encinitas locals, Rotary Club members and the Hug It Forward organization to help strengthen the infrastructure of education for the people of Chisunuc in San Martin Jilotepeque, Guatemala. The “bottle schoolsâ€? are built using plastic bottles filled with inor-
Serena Jenichs on her trip to Guatemala. ganic trash. Hug It Forward empowers communities to build their new bottle school and provides an Environmental Education Program to expand upon healthier, more ecofriendly living. How was Ubuntu connected to the opportunity? On April 27, 2012, Joshua Talmon, secretary/treasurer on the Board of Directors for Hug It Forward, came into Ubuntu Hair Studio for a haircut with Jenichs. Through conversa-
tion with her client, Jenichs learned the mission of the grassroots organization, which connects funds and volunteers to assist the community of San Martin Jilotepeque in building “bottle schools,� made with the eco-bricks. Both Jenichs and Talmon were excited to learn of their potential synergy. Ubuntu Hair Studio clients donated gratuities from May of 2012 until January of 2013 for the “voluntourism� trip to Guatemala. About nine months later the trip came to fruition. Along with mixing and spreading cement, sorting stuffed bottles and placing the eco-bricks in the walls, Jenichs and her group members created a funny educational skit. They taught proper oral hygiene techniques and passed out toothbrushes and toothpaste to the students afterward. The communities that participate work together and feel a sense of ownership over the school. This creates hope for generations to come. This volunturism trip to
Guatemala was the first international volunteer trip Ubuntu Hair Studio team members and clients have manifested. Studio owner Dawn Ellinwood is inspired for future trips. Ubuntu Hair Studio was founded in 2008 with an aim to shift the way consumers purchase beauty products and services. Meeting their commitment to service, gratuities or, as they like to call them, gestures of thanks for great service are passed on to good causes. At Ubuntu Hair Studio, they strive to make social and environmental change through the small things that they do. They use business as a vehicle to affect global change one client at a time and are committed to making a global impact by setting focus on contributing to humanity. They are a team united in “I AM because WE are.� Serena Jenichs, Dawn Ellinwood, Vanessa, and guest stylists Yoshi and Louis have been fundraising at Ubuntu Hair Studio since day one through the No Tipping Policy, in order to save
the confusion and uncomfortable feeling of wondering how much to tip. This relieves pressure and stress from the client. Many clients decide to add gratuity knowing it gets donated to Ubuntu Hair Studio’s five favorite organizations. In this case, they flagged a specific project to donate toward, as a volunteer trip. Clients thought it was fun and the salon was excited to have them contribute to a dogooder trip. Hug It Forward bracelets are available for purchase at Ubuntu Hair Studio (ubuntuhairstudio.com/ about/). A portion of the proceeds go to the Hug It Forward organization (hugitforward.org) to continue with the building of “bottle schools� in Latin America. Serve the World Today (servetheworldtoday.com) is the organization that manages the trip. Ubuntu Hair Studio is located at 109 S. Acacia Ave., Solana Beach, 92075; (858) 792-5959; www.ubuntuhairstudio.com

Cathedral Catholic coach and family thank community for support Cathedral Catholic High coach Will Cunningham and his family held a press conference June 16 to update the public on the family’s recovery following a catastrophic car crash that occurred March 17. The family also expressed their appreciation for the community’s support. A 30-year-old Santee man, suspected of drunk driving, drove the wrong way on state Route 52 and caused a head-on crash on March 17, killing himself and sending Cunningham’s wife and three of their children, who were in the other vehicle, to the hospital with major injuries. “This is not a finished project, just an update on how we are doing” Cunningham said at the June 16 press conference. “We are trying to get back and are dealing with things most families take for granted, like tying a shoe. By the grace of God, we are humbled and blessed to have everyone still here. Anything is possible with faith. We are blessed to have the support of the Cathedral Catholic community and want to thank all of San Diego, the city of Brawley (Calif.) and well wishers around the country. Tough days are still ahead, but whatever the challenge, we look forward to it.” — Report by Rob and Sherry McKenzie. For more on the press conference, visit media partner http://www.nbcsandiego.com/
On June 7, two classrooms of 3-5-year-old children were introduced to meteorites. Bob Verish and Moni Waiblinger visited the school and brought in several meteorites for the children to hold. They also shared information teaching the children about the varied composition of a meteorite. Terminology such as crater and fireballs was introduced and the children were able to see a slice of an actual meteorite. The children and teachers were fascinated by how different each Moni Waiblinger showing meteorite was in weight, size and feel. It was a great learning a slice of a meteorite. experience for everyone.

Lux Art Institute to feature variety of unique artists in 2013-14 season BY DIANE WELCH The fine art of Melissa Miller, loosely-brushed oils on large canvasses and palm-sized delicate gouache cameos, depict her personal narrative on animals, their role with humans, and their place on the planet. Several of her pieces express the juxtaposition of domestic animals with exotics, a familiar sight in her native Texas, she said. The color-drenched works, tableau pastoral portraitures that pair cattle with monkeys and llamas with dogs, fill the walls of the Lux Art Institute and will be exhibited through July 27. Miller is the final resident artist for Lux’s Season VI. The line-up of artists for Season VII was announced last week by Lux Founding Director Reesey Shaw. The five artists for 2013-2014 are: Matthew Cusick (in studio Sept. 5-Oct. 5, on exhibit through Oct. 26) Another Texas-based artist, Cusick — a collage strategist — creates intricate works formed from torn paper fragments inlaid into acrylic on the picture plane, like paint on the canvas. His rich imagery, that pulls in the past from a source of long-discarded maps and textbooks, includes timeless waterscapes, portraiture, and modern landscape. While in residency, Cusick will use the nearby North County coastal beaches, lagoons
based on the painting of the Tower of Babel using re-purposed items from local thrift stores and flea markets.
‘Fiona’s Wave,’ inlaid maps on wood, by Matthew Cusick and surf as his inspiration for a large-scale waterscape. Melora Kuhn (in studio Nov. 5-Dec. 8, on exhibit through Dec. 28) Kuhn’s portraiture examines issues of identity, history and personal versus public spheres. Her dream-like interpretations use painting, sculpture and installation to explore classical narratives expressed through stately figures that depict both inner and outer realms. She often places these figures in incongruent backdrops. Kuhn, a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, who also attended Scuola Lorenzo di Medici, Florence, Italy in 1990, will create mixed-media portraits in the Lux
studio using sheets of fabriano rossaspina, gesso and unbleached titanium paint. Marcus Kenney (in studio Jan 9- Feb. 8, on exhibit through Mar. 8) Trained in photography at Savannah College of Art and Design, and film at the University of Louisiana, Georgia-based Kenney produces multimedia works that are both humorous and macabre. Poverty, alienation and social injustice are frequent themes in his collages that incorporate torn receipts, marble dust, and wall paper. Reclaimed taxidermy, adorned with sequins, beads and buttons, suggest whimsy with dignity. Kenney will create a multimedia piece

Jarmo Mäkilä (in studio Mar 20- April 12, on exhibit through May 24) Brought to Lux from his native Finland, through a partnership within the European Union, Mäkilä creates large-scale autobiographical oil paintings that reflect his personal childhood memories interwoven with Finnish mythology. Ritualistic scenes of boys playing cruel games that involve hanging cats, shooting guns, and beating drums, are recurring subjects. Each day while in residence, Mäkilä will create a sculpture of a small boy culminating in a surreal procession that will lead to the studio. His pieces are held in many European museum collections including Germany, France, Sweden and Finland. Beverly Penn (in studio June 5- July 5, on exhibit through July 26) Closing out Season VII, is another Texas-based artist. Penn, a professor in the Department of Art and Design at Texas State University, is a sculptor who uses weeds as the source material for her intricately crafted bronze sculptures. The fragile balance between nature and the manufactured environment is represented in her large-

‘Pappa,’ a reclaimed taxidermy piece by Marcus Kenney scale delicate sculptures that capture even the tiniest filaments of the weeds. She will transform the Lux studio into a workshop to cast and solder her pieces based on the native plants unique to the Lux campus and North County environs.

Your Family Matters: The importance of fathers BY DR. KEITH KANNER Many fathers never realize how important they are to the development of their children. Yet, as early as in infancy, the father’s participation in the basic needs of a child have tremenDr. Keith Kanner dous immediate as well as lasting effects. For example, when fathers help with holding, feeding, and soothing an infant, this experience provides the child with a sense of two, rather than a single caregiver. Here, the small child recognizes that not just one, but at least two caregivers are there to provide relief during stressful times and leads to the establishment of basic trust. Once children enter the toddler years, the father’s presence and time with their young child helps them to better manage separation from mother in order to develop a better sense of self and ensure a more comfortable capacity to manage stress. Toddlers and pre-school children who have invested fathers, tend to be more successful, tolerating change and adaptation, and also tend to be more popular. Because fathers tend to play differently with their kids – dads tend to be a bit more “physical� then moms in their quality of play, it assists both boys and girls to manage aggression better and not get as carried away when they play with their peers. This is due to the fact that most fathers will have fun but also calm the waters when the play gets too rambunctious. This process then becomes internalized inside of the child. By the time kids become school age, the father then helps boys and girls better understand gender difference. Here, when boys and girls become more identified with either being male or female, fathers help
boys better understand what it feels like to be a boy and give them a direct reference model. As when moms provide the same for their daughters, the parent’s gender role is very helpful in helping kids feel comfortable about who they are and who they might become. And then there is the tween and teen years where the father becomes a frequent buffer due the conflicts between mothers and both sexes as they attempt a more complete separation from moms on the road to greater autonomy. Of course he doesn’t take sides, he rather tries to better calm the waters. Children who grow up without invested fathers sometimes develop a condition called “father hunger.� These children often experience significant problems with regulating aggression, making friends, and feeling comfortable identifying themselves as being “male.� Taken together, the roles of fathers are vastly important in the lives of both boys and girls and the dads who enjoy this time and dedication experience the greatest joys in being a father and rejoicing in raising healthier children. Dr. Kanner is a board certified clinical child, adolescent and adult psychoanalyst. He is also the host of Your Family Matters which is a media brand broadcasting on TV, radio, and the Internet. Locally, Dr. Kanner and Your Family Matters is part of San Diego 6’s San Diego Living Show on Friday mornings, while Your Family Matters Radio is broadcasted through UT Radio & UT-TV where Dr. Kanner is also part of the news team as the Mental Health Host. Kanner is also part of FM radio on Tuesdays on the Walrus FM with Nolan and Kim. His book with the same name ( “Your Family Matters — Solutions to Common Family Dilemmas� ) recently won the Mother’s Choice Gold Award for excellence in parenting literature.

‘Growing Future Stewards’ is 2013 theme for Birds of a Feather gala • Tickets Now On Sale for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy Gala San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy’s biennial gala, Birds of a Feather, will be held on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 5- 8:30 p.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. Birds of a Feather is a garden-style gala that benefits environmental education in San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. This year’s theme is Growing Future Stewards. Online reservations for tickets, tables, and donations to education are now available: www.sanelijo.org/gala This fun-filled evening features natural and organic cuisine, live jazz and sophisticated swing by Randy Fontaine and the Swingers, and captivating auction packages, all with the focus on educating children to become the next generation of conservationists through free guided nature walks and public programs. “We are grateful to our gala sponsors and guests for joining San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy to help provide meaningful nature experiences,” said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist of the conservancy. “In coastal North County, we can enjoy one of the largest and most restored wetland ecosystems. Environmental education for today’s children is crucial preparation for future generations. We’re here to ensure that every child has a connection to nature at San Elijo Lagoon.” As a biennial benefit for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy’s environmental education program, the gala raises funds to build childhood connections with Southern California’s rare wetland environments. The conservancy is “growing future stewards” by providing sciencebased field trips, free public walks, and co-produces, with county rangers, seasonal family weekends reaching more than 7,000 area students and visitors during the year. Many field trips are offered free of charge to schools with demonstrated need, so that students can bond with nature—a demonstrated necessity for healthy childhood development. This celebrated North County gathering includes environmental philanthropists, elected officials, media personalities, citizen naturalists, and supporters of kids in nature. Gala tickets are $150 per person and are available by online reservation at www.sanelijo.org/gala, or by phoning (760) 436-3944 ext 711. Tables for 6 or 8 can also be reserved, online or by phone, with discounted incentives until June 30. Suggested attire is garden cocktail.
Nutrition and you: Ask the dietitian... BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT I often have people stop me and ask me nutritional questions, so I thought it would be fun to share some of these questions with you from time to time. Peggy Korody, RD, CLT Here’s two of the latest questions I was asked. Q. I remember your article regarding protein and that our protein needs are low (see my archived article at RD4Health.com titled Protein – How much and what’s your source?) I make a veggie and greens smoothie every morning is this OK? A. Yes, you are right, the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein is lower than most people know/intake. As a review we only need on average between 40-60 grams of protein a day which is easily obtainable. Now for that smoothie, I’m a big fan of homemade smoothies – homemade because you can control the ingredients. Smoothies are also an easy way to get several servings of fruits and/or vegetables in one meal. Fruits and vegetables are carbohydrates (good carbs), but a meal entirely of carbs will leave you feeling hungry before your next meal. To alleviate this, just add a little protein to your smoothie. This is as easy as adding a few scoops of plain yogurt, milk, or soy milk. TIP: I actually buy my favorite Greek yogurt when it is on sale and then I fill ice cube trays with the yogurt, freeze it, and then pop the cubes out into a freezer bag. This way I always have yogurt on hand for my morning smoothie. I actually do this with summer fruit too. Cube, slice or puree, and freeze. Saves time and money. Q. Is it true that two tablespoons of wheat grass a day will provide me will all the nutrition my body needs? A. Short answer no. In fact, there is no
one food that can provide all the nutrition our bodies need on a daily/weekly basis. Wheat grass gets a “superfood” (see my archived article at RD4Health.com entitled Superfoods) type of following but actually there is not much scientific evidence that wheat grass is any more superior then other fruits and vegetables. In fact, if you look at the nutritional facts comparing wheatgrass, broccoli, and spinach there is no one winner. Of note, many believe that wheatgrass contains B12, it does not nor does any vegetable, rather it is a byproduct of the microorganisms living on plants. On a daily basis our bodies need carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, and grains), protein (beans, meat, fish, poultry, dairy), and fat (think healthy — olive oil, grapeseed oil, canola oil, omega 3 from fish, etc.) to provide our bodies with the nutrients necessary to function. Carbohydrates are used for energy, protein for cell repair and growth, and fats provide essential fatty acids, keep our skin soft, and deliver fat-soluble vitamins. Thank goodness, as a foodie I would be very bored eating one food a day! Also, our bodies do not absorb 100 percent of any nutrient at any one time, so it is important to eat a variety of foods throughout the day, therefore by the end of the day your body had the opportunity to absorb the nutrients needed to function. Are you wondering what a healthy diet looks like? I’ve got an app for that! MealLogger is an easy and personal nutrition coaching service that allows you to connect virtually with me, your RD coach. No fad diets, no calorie counting. You gain the advantage of nutrition advice that is tailored for your eating habits, your health concerns and your lifestyle. Peggy Korody is a registered dietitian and owner of RD4Health Nutrition Counseling, LLC in Rancho Santa Fe. She is also a Certified LEAP Therapist - Helping people who suffer with food sensitivities which can lead to IBS, migraines, fibromyalgia, and other inflammatory conditions. Her first cookbook, “Little Hands in the Kitchen” is available on her website. For more information on services offered please visit RD4Health.com or email pkorody@RD4Health. com, 858-401-9936.

State Regent addresses De Anza DAR on plight of the honey bee The De Anza Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution hosted California State Society DAR Regent Debra Jamison as guest speaker June 1. Jamison spoke about her honey bee research project at the De Anza DAR Chapter’s monthly luncheon meeting held at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Guests from the state society also included State Historian Adele Lancaster and Mary Brown, state parliamentarian. De Anza attendees wore bee colors or adornments to recognize Jamison’s work in the Regent’s Bee Project. Jamison spoke on the crisis in the nation’s honey bee population in the last several years. “Honey bees are at the heart of our existence,” Jamison warned. “If we do not do something to address the disappearing honey bee, then by 2035 there will be no more bees.” Without them, the nation’s diverse food supply will be severely jeopardized. “European honey bees were first introduced to this continent in 1622 at the Jamestown colony,” Jamison said, “but now they pollinate a third of the food we eat.” Drastic disappearance in honey bee colonies has occurred over the last several years due to CCD, or colony collapse disorder, due to bee stress or malnutrition. California’s 800,000 acres of almonds, our largest export crop, require two bee hives per acre yet some counties have lost up to 90 percent of their colonies. A serious threat to the bee colonies comes in the form of industrial pesticides, but there is no evidence that cell phone towers are involved. Small scale bee keepers have healthier colonies less susceptible to CCD and urban restaurants keeping their own hives is becoming popular. A member of the audience described her experience with backyard hives and Jamison recommended growing bee-friendly plants, such as lavender and California poppies, for those not ready to manage a home hive. Besides pollination, Jamison related other therapeutic bee functions, including honey as an ancient antibacterial for infected wounds, and honey bee venom for treatment of arthritis. Jamison’s State Regent’s Project raised funding for honey bee education and research in California over the past year, enabling the CSSDAR to make a sizable donation to the Laidlaw Bee Research Facility at the UC Davis Department of Entomology. Colleen Soto and Millie Ryken were inducted as new members into the De Anza Chapter by Chaplain Joanne Dudek, Registrar Kathleen Loftman and 1st Vice Regent Marti Meiners, membership chairman. Millie’s ancestor was Henry Banta, born in 1718 in New Barbadoes Township, Bergen County, New Jersey, who gave patriotic service in Pennsylvania as a member of the Committee of Observation; he died before Oct. 14 1805 in Shelby County, Kentucky. Colleen’s ancestor was Stephen Webster, born June 11, 1728 in Glastonbury, Hartford County, Connecticut, who gave Civil Service and Patriotic Service in Massachusetts as a fence viewer and surveyor of highways and as a member of the Committee of Correspondence, Inspection and Safety. Stephen died Feb. 4 1818 in Northfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890. Its members are descended from patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 165,000 members in approximately 3000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations. Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership. De Anza Chapter members live in the North County coastal communities from Carmel Valley to Carlsbad. For more information, call Laurel Lemarié, 858756-2835, or visit www.deanzadar.org.

RACEHORSES continued from page B3 equine athletes — they perform on the track giving us enjoyment and excitement ... let’s give a little back to the horses.” Tickets cost $140; contact Mellen at (858) 9451371 or dawn@afterthefinishline.org. The other major fundraiser held locally will be “A Fiesta for the Horses” on Aug. 21 at En Fuego Cantina & Grill, 1342 Camino del Mar in Del Mar. From 6 p.m. to close, the restaurant will donate 10 percent of all sales to After the Finish Line. In addition, throughout August, $1 will be donated to the nonprofit for each “Finish Line” Margarita sold. “We get so much support from individuals who go into the restaurant and learn about After the Finish Line,” Mellen said. The organization applies all of its proceeds from such fundraisers and donations toward auction
purchases; hay and feed; boarding expenses; a horse’s surgery and/or medical expenses; farrier/dental/vet expenses; and transporting a horse to safety, along with other requests. After the Finish Line follows up to make sure the horse is receiving proper care, Mellen said. She emphasized that the money raised goes entirely toward the care of horses, as all of the nonprofit’s members are volunteers and none have salaries. For more information about After the Finish Line, or to become an event volunteer, sponsor or donor, contact Mellen or go to www.afterthefinishline.org. In addition, the organization is planning to host an information table at the Del Mar racetrack. Last year, the table was located in the Clubhouse lobby on Pacific Classic Day. “We want to surpass what we did (last year),” Mellen said.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
What’s in a Name?: Is it the ‘Fourth of July’ or ‘Independence Day?’ What are we celebrating and why? It is not just parades, fireworks, hot dogs and lemonade. It is so much more meaningful. On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee, a Virginia delegate to the Second Continental Congress, offered “Lee’s Independence Resolution” and it was seconded by John Adams and approved by the Congress on July 2. Two days later Thomas Jefferson’s “Declaration of Independence,” using similar language, was adopted: thus July 4 came to be. Most of the 56 signors signed on in approval by Aug. 2. Britain and George III, according to accounts, did not learn of the declaration until late August 1776. Michael Barton, writing in 2002, stated, “[T]he Declaration of Independence asserts that the prime purpose of government is to protect the rights of the individual… The success of govern-
ment was to be measured not by how well society was regulated, but by how free the individual was from government. “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another… Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations [arises]… it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government… The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations.” Here a few of the original 28 “grievances”: •He has obstructed the Administration of Justice… •He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people… •For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent…. •He has… wag[ed] War against us. You might wish to read these bulleted points again. It’s spelled F-R-E-E-D-O-M. As we prepare for our usual July 4 festivities, we might reflect. Take a few minutes to read aloud with friends and family the “Declaration of Independence.” We should be grateful to the nation’s Founders, including Jefferson, Adams, Ben Franklin, James Madison, and many others. Thankful for our Constitution. Thankful to our military for keeping all of us FREE. We have an obligation to be vigilant to preserving our liberties. We are not celebrating the “Fourth of July” as some date on the calendar, but rather celebrating OUR FREEDOMS granted after the Declaration of Independence.” It is our history. It is who we are today and for the future. May God Bless America, Nick Dieterich, Rancho Santa Fe
Susan G. Komen, San Diego 5K Race and 3-Day Walk still to be held in November The national office of Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced recently that they are reducing the number of cities in which they will conduct the 3-Day series in 2014 — San Diego will not be affected nor will the local affiliate’s 5K Race for the Cure on Nov. 3. San Diego will continue to be a “host city” for the 3-Day in 2013 and 2014, which is a nationally-run event. The San Diego affiliate, which is a separate 501(c)3, will continue to host its own local 5k Race for the Cure — the largest 5K in the region and biggest fundraiser of the year allowing Komen San Diego to continue to support the women facing breast cancer in San Diego. For every dollar raised 75 percent stays in San Diego to fund everything from free mammograms and surgery to meal delivery, child care and temporary financial aid. The remaining 25 percent goes into a pool of money from all 120 Komen affiliates across the country to fund international research. These funds are not used for national salary. “Women in San Diego County rely on the Race for the Cure for access to life-saving healthcare. Our race has been an important part of San Diego for 17 years, and will be for decades to come,” said Laura Farmer Sherman, executive director of Komen San Diego. “Our race is set for Sunday, Nov. 3, in Balboa Park. The money raised there, and throughout the year, funds lifesaving research and the largest County program of free breast cancer diagnostics, treatments, services and support of needy San Diegans.” With $1.4 million at work locally, Komen San Diego continues to be the County’s largest funder of free breast cancer treatments, services and support for uninsured women and their families. The local San Diego Race for the Cure is set for Sunday, Nov. 3, and the San Diego 3-Day will take place Nov. 15, 16 and 17. “Even with the economic uncertainty over the past years, San Diego has been able to stay strong and our community has showed more support than ever before,” said Farmer Sherman. “We could not be more grateful and we hope to continue with enthusiasm and excitement for our local affiliates November race.” Take a first step today.
