BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District board held a public hearing on May 29 to review its Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), a new requirement of all school districts this year as a result of the state’s new Local Control Funding Formula (LCCF). The LCAP and the district’s 2014-15 budget will be approved at the June 5 regular board meeting. With the formula, revenue limits and most state categorical funding are eliminated and each school district’s funding formula is based on the number, grade level and demographics of the students the district serves. Rancho Santa Fe will continue to be a community-funded district, primarily

funded through property taxes although the district will still receive state and federal monies. The purpose of the LCCF is to provide a higher quality of instruction focused on students being college and career ready, addressing the needs of all groups, such as low-income students, English language learners and foster youth, and eliminating the achievement gap. As only 4 percent of Rancho Santa Fe’s students fall into the low-income, English language learners and foster children categories, the district will not receive any additional money from the state through the funding formuSee SCHOOL, page 30

Fairgrounds craft brewery proposal moves forward

RSF Association health club and pool?

22nd District board votes to seek bids on the project from brewing industry

The Rancho Santa Fe Association has a health club and pool committee exploring the option of building those facilities in the Covenant. The RSF Review asked RSF Association Director and Committee Chair Heather Slosar about the committee’s work so far. Why are you exploring a health club and pool? Slosar: Part of the fiduciary responsibility of a community association is to continually evaluate issues that effect valu-

BY JOE TASH A proposal to convert an underused satellite wagering facility at the Del Mar Fairgrounds into a craft beer brewery with a restaurant, tasting room and other amenities moved forward on Monday, June 2. The board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the stateowned fairgrounds, voted 4-1 to issue a request for proposals to the brewing industry, to see if any companies are interested in bidding for the project. Director David Watson cast the lone “no” vote, expressing concern that smaller local

breweries might not have the resources to compete with larger, better-funded national brands. In February, the board rejected a proposal by the fairgrounds’ food and beverage provider, Premier Food Services, for Blue Moon Brewery, a subsidiary of MillerCoors, to build and operate a micro-brewery at the fairgrounds. At the time, some directors said fairground staff hadn’t done enough to solicit proposals for the project, especially from San Diego-based breweries. See BREWERY, page 28

To that end, in June 2013 the RSF Association and the RSF Golf Club jointly developed a community survey in order to both better serve our residents’ needs and to provide a vehicle for members input into future, long-term planning.

RSF Association Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner: Board meeting takeaways and financial updates BY PHILIP WILKINSON, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT At the May 15 RSF Association Board of Directors meeting the board took the following actions: â&#x20AC;˘Approved the RSF Golf Club updated bylaws and plan of operation, which included increasing the number of Junior Executive members to 30. â&#x20AC;˘Approved the Golf Club Tree Management and Turf Reduction Plan for holes 1-9. â&#x20AC;˘Established a permanent Compensation Committee by approving the bylaw change to do so and the accompanying charter that the committee will operate under. â&#x20AC;˘Approved a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten-Step Executive Search Processâ&#x20AC;? for the Association Manager position. â&#x20AC;˘Appointed four members to an Ad Hoc Committee to study â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voter Registration Simplification.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘Reviewed a presentation on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Potential Step Down Housing Developmentâ&#x20AC;? at the Mabee property across from Chino Farms. â&#x20AC;˘Reviewed the 2014/2015 budget summary. BTW, the Association held an open session on May 28 and the Finance Committee conducted an indepth budget review and I only counted five members in attendance. Finance Update: What a difference three years makes! In 2010-2011, the Association was experiencing unprecedented delinquencies in annual assessments due to the poor economy and declining home values. Today real estate prices have rebounded, new homes are being built again, and assessment collection levels are back to normal. Additionally, the U-T San Diego reported last month that San Diego County property owners who have been receiving a break on their property tax bills since housing values plummeted during the recession and were reassessed downward will likely see their assessed values rise again in the tax year 2014-2015. The Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment process is based on property values, so when the county readjusts those properties, the RSF assessment will also increase, positively affecting revenue. On the expense side, the Compensation Committee,

Rancho Santa Fe Association will be in excellent financial shape as a result of hard work by many individuals both on this board and on the Finance Committee. This will result in additional money being available for the Community Enhancement Fund in coming years. I would like to commend the Finance Committee, in particular outgoing board member Larry Spitcaufsky, as well as the Compensation Committee for their hard work and continued fiscal prudence. Running the Association like a business has really begun to pay off.

Horse racing starts on Thursday this year Philip Wilkinson which was formed this year and which currently consists of Larry Spitcaufsky, Jerry Yahr and myself, has been very busy reducing total employee costs. The changes put in place in May on the employee vacation accrual policy and the revised contributions to employee health care costs will result in substantial annual cost savings. We are also optimistic that once this unprecedented controversial campaign season is in our rearview mirror that legal expenses should decline. The Finance Committee, under outgoing treasurer Larry Spitcaufskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership (Larry served as treasurer for two years), has put in place a very conservative budget process, which is reflected in the budget for the upcoming year. What this means is that the

BY JOE TASH The annual summer horse racing at the Del Mar Fairgrounds will start on Thursday, July 17, this year, instead of the traditional Wednesday start. The extra day was needed to prepare the track following the San Diego County Fair, an official with the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club said Monday, June 2, at a meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds. The summer meet will end Sept. 3 and run one day shorter than usual. A second fall meet will be held this year from Nov. 7-30.

Rail platform in Fairgroundsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future BY JOE TASH A platform to allow Coaster and Amtrak trains to stop at the Del Mar Fairgrounds during the annual county fair and horse racing season is in the works, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the project to be completed any time soon. Environmental studies and preliminary design work are moving ahead on the $140 million project, but funding for construction still has not been secured, Linda Culp, a planner with the San Diego Association of Governments, told the 22nd District Agricultural Association board on Monday, June 2. Culp said her best estimate is that construction of the project â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which includes replacement of the existing rail bridge over the San Dieguito Lagoon and double-tracking of the rail line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be completed prior to 2030. No permanent station or parking is planned. Instead, the platform would strictly be used for access to the fairgrounds during the fair and races. Culp said public open houses will be held this fall for review of environmental documents, technical studies and design of the bridge and platform. A bicycle and pedestrian underpass is planned as part of the project, Culp said.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JUNE 5, 2014 - PAGE A3

RSF couple shares vast art collection with attendees at San Diego Museum of Art fundraiser BY DIANE Y. WELCH If a picture paints a thousand words then the art collection of Demi and Frank Rogozienski speaks volumes. The couple recently opened up their private collection to members of the San Diego Museum of Art’s (SDMA) North County Chapter (NCC) support council. During this recent “Art in the Afternoon” fundraiser event, guests were given a rare insider’s view of the Rogozienskis’ vast collection of art that fills every room in their light-infused Rancho Santa Fe Covenant home. Interpreting the collection’s silent words was Dr. Ariel Plotek, SDMA’s associate curator of Modern Art, who gave an animated talk about several of the works. The Rogozienskis have a passion for 19th century French landscapes, most by artists from the Barbizon School. Named for the Barbizon village in the Fontainebleau Forest in France, the movement spanned only four decades, from 1830-70. Plotek highlighted some of these paintings which represent about half of the Rogozienskis’ Masters collection. The art captures the beauty of the landscape in and around Paris, said Plotek. The other half of their collection comprises 17th century Baroque paintings, from England, Italy, France and Spain. The Rogoziens-

Photo by Diane Welch kis also collect rare Russian iconography, sculpture, and French antique furniture and objets d’arts. “The collection is overwhelming,” said Louise Engleman, a longtime board member of the NCC and now chapter ambassador, who attended and helped organize the event. “So it was nice to have a few pieces singled out by

Ariel.” A new acquisition on show was a Barbizon piece, “The Fisherman” by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. “He painted the work as a series of four, around 1855, for the home of an artist friend of his, Leon Fleury,” Plotek explained. “The other three works are in mu-

seums.” This work is remarkable in that Corot used vibrant colors and laid the paint down thickly with large brush strokes, a technique that foreshadowed Impressionism. Museum Executive Director Roxana Valasquez praised the role that the NCC plays for SDMA in that it helps promote the museum while making people north of San Diego aware of its current programs. “It’s an important, fundamental thing that they are doing for us,” she said. “They are a very active group.” Valasquez, who came to the SDMA almost four years ago and is the museum’s first female executive director, also had praise for the event hosts. “Frank and Demi have been a tremendous support of this institution,” she said. “They are an exemplary couple.” This is the second year that Frank Rogozienski has served as SDMA’s board president, although both Demi and Frank have been closely connected with the museum for several years, Valasquez noted. “They really love art, and are sophisticated collectors who constantly go back and forth to Paris, where they understand the world of art auctions and dealers,” she said. Both share the passion to collect and Demi has developed a rare skill in the restoration of the often-delicate original frames that

surround the art. When asked about the “Art in the Afternoon” gathering, Frank Rogozienski commented humbly, “It’s not so much about our art collecting, it’s more about bringing people together that have a love of art in a way that supports the museum and furthers its goals.” Specifically for members of the NCC it fosters, “a very special relationship,” he added. Plotek said that the Rogozienskis are a rarity in that not only are they very generous patrons of the museum they are also serious collectors. “There aren’t many people we can turn to who will lend us museum-quality art when we have wall space because our own works are on loan elsewhere,” joked Plotek. From September through May, the NCC has monthly art-related meetings held at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar. In November Plotek is scheduled to lecture on two exhibitions that are slated for the museum’s fall shows. Museum members can join NCC for an annual fee of $30 for a single member or $40 for a twoperson membership. The lectures are free for NCC members and first-time guests, $5 for others.

McAlister Institute board member says Walk for Sobriety benefit raises invaluable funds to help Americans battling addiction BY KAREN BILLING One in six Americans will struggle with addiction but only one in 10 will receive the help they need to move their lives forward on a healthy path. The third annual Walk for Sobriety 5K Walk and Run on Saturday, June 21, is held to raise awareness for those 40.3 million Americans battling addiction, get more people moving in the right direction and celebrate those who have fought hard to remain clean and sober. The walk, which begins at 8 a.m. at NTC Park at Liberty Station, benefits the McAlister Institute in El Cajon, a facility that provides high-quality, low-cost substance abuse treatment, drug intervention and recovery support systems for 2,500 teens and adults every month through its 27 programs. Local resident Dennis Ellman, a new board member at the McAlister Institute, knows personally how difficult and painful addiction can be, through his experience with his son’s addiction as a young adult. “He’s one of the hopeful ones,” Ellman said of his son, now 32, healthy and heading to graduate school. “But we lost a lot of people which is always the hard part. When his son was 18, four of his best friends died as a result of being deeply submerged in the drug culture. Ellman calls addiction an “elaborate cult,” where users find ways to get what they need and persist in addiction — they have to decide for themselves to get out and get better. “Drug addiction is an epidemic among young adults,” Ellman said, “It’s a real tragedy for families to try to find ways to cope and deal with a world they never thought they’d be introduced to.” At McAlister, there are a variety of services for everyone from pregnant women and troubled teens to ex-offenders and homeless men, from 30- to 90-day residential programs, recovery centers, safe housing and intervention services. They have a perinatal detox program, which is a short-term, non-medical residential program to help pregnant women detox from alcohol and other drugs in a safe and supportive environment. Many women go on to receive further treatment at Kiva Learning Center for Women and Children, a long-term residential treatment program for women with and without children. Over the course of six months, clients receive housing, treatment planning, daycare and parenting classes, educational workshops, mental health counseling, domestic violence assistance, vocational training and recovery support services. Many of the staff members at McAlister have suffered the challenges of addiction and collectively they have 1,000 years of sobriety — director Jeanne McAlister is celebrating 56 years of sobriety this year. Ellman, a 15-year local resident who founded the public relations firm Beck Ellman Heald in 1986, was introduced to McAlister five years ago as he was helping write a speech for one of the institute’s board members. “I just fell for her and the program and thought it was just terrific and what they do for the community was outstanding so I just become more and more involved,” Ellman said.

He continued to volunteer and his agency was hired to do the McAlister Institute’s public relations but separate from that, Ellman got involved at the board level just a few months ago. Ellman said one of the key issues the board is looking into is a new building for McAlister in the South Bay area. McAlister currently leases its space and, as its programs continue to grow, the new facility would provide a permanent home to serve even more people in need. “What I find really powerful with them is that they will see people regardless of their ability to pay, which is not common with drug and alcohol rehab centers,” Ellman said. “The dedication level is truly astonishing.” The Walk for Sobriety started three years ago as a result of a conversation the board was having regarding the fact that nobody really wanted to hear about addiction or rehab programs. Then an advisor to the board, Ellman asserted that was not true. “We need to change our thinking and realize

what we have going here is just as important as any type of disease or social issue out there. This is a problem that affects so many people and to feel like we can’t talk about it is a mistake,” Ellman said. He said drugs are often a news headline — celebrity overdoses, the heroin epidemic, the pot controversy — and the conversation is mostly focused on disease and addictive behavior. “On the other hand, people do recover and stay in recovery and there’s a great deal of hope that doesn’t get talked about,” Ellman said. He said rarely do people talk about what a rehab program is, what it looks like and how it works and what sobriety looks like. They decided a community event that celebrates hope and recovery could be something empowering, touch a lot of lives of people who have been impacted by addiction and help further the cause of McAlister.

UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center receives $170,000 to benefit research on rare and aggressive breast cancer •Donation made by Vision of Children Foundation, co-founded by RSF’s Samuel and Vivian Hardage The Vision of Children Foundation (VOC) recently presented UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center with a $170,000 check to aid in research on rare and aggressive breast cancer. The money represents half of the funds raised at a Holiday High Tea event that featured Ann Romney as the keynote speaker. VOC is using the other half to bolster its research on finding cures for hereditary vision disorders. Scott M. Lippman, MD, director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, expressed his gratitude for the donation and noted its importance. “At a time when there are fewer dollars available for cancer research, community support like that of Vision of Children is helping us to continue to move leading-edge research from the bench to the bedside,” he said. He acknowledged the leadership and support of RSF’s Samuel and Vivian Hardage, cofounders of VOC, and that of Wanda Garner, a cancer workshop facilitator and philanthropic fundraiser who co-chaired the Holiday High Tea fundraiser with Vivian Hardage. Hardage conceived the fundraiser as a way to raise awareness about the importance of medical research to find cures for breast cancer and genetic eye disorders, two causes that hit particularly close to her heart. The three-time breast-cancer survivor and her husband founded VOC in 1991, after their son Chase was diagnosed with ocular albinism type 1. More than 600 guests attended the holiday fundraiser, called “Visions of Success – From Research to Reality,” at the Grand Del Mar on Dec. 9, 2013. Romney, a breast cancer survivor, health advocate and dedicated supporter of vision health, spoke about the critical need for medical research to cure breast cancer and vision diseases. The survival rate for patients with rare and aggressive breast cancer is about 50 percent over five years, noted Dr. Barbara Parker, deputy director for Clinical Affairs, UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Certain dormant tumor cells hidden in the body can progress as metastatic disease even years after the successful surgery and treatment of breast cancer. Such tumor dormancy in breast cancer remains poorly understood, thus presenting challenges to both experimental studies and to management of breast cancer. Moores Cancer Center will direct the funds to research being conducted by Jing Yang, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Pediatrics at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, who hopes to uncover the signaling pathways that control breast tumor metastasis during dormancy. “Funding transformative research, like that of Dr. Yang, will lead to breakthroughs in cancer care that will help us save the lives of loved ones right here in San Diego and around the world,” Lippman said. The event chairs worked closely with the American Cancer Society to ensure that the funds raised would be used by a San Diego research institution. “I’ve personally experienced the quality of care and witnessed the caliber of the research at Moores Cancer Center,” Hardage said. “We are thrilled to be able to contribute to such a worthy institution. Research, such as that being performed by Dr. Yang, is critical to finding a cure.” The event was underwritten by Title Sponsor Papa Doug Manchester, real estate developer and publisher of the U-T San Diego. Other key sponsors included: Midway Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram; Robert Procop Exceptional Jewels; Life Technologies; Dr. Seuss Fund at the San Diego Foundation; and Fashion Valley.

TOP PRODUCING AGENT “Working with Janet was easy and enjoyable...” “A mutual interior designer friend referred me to Janet Lawless Christ. I’m so glad he did! My experience with her was exceptional, from our first meeting to the close of escrow. before the first open house, I took her suggestion to have the property pre-inspected to discover any issues that might hold up a sale and she provided feedback on small changes that might cause a buyer to think twice. Janet held multiple open houses, filmed a marketing video, and broadcast it to her social media network and private emailing list. I was shocked that the first offer was within weeks of listing and was within my acceptability range, and was pleasantly surprised that everything went so smoothly. Janet really focused on closing the sale with all parties feeling they got the most from the efforts.” – Kelly Dixon, Nature Designs Landscaping

McNallys launch RSF Estate Auctions; First auction set for RSF Garden Club

Don Diego Scholarship Foundation invites guests to ‘Rock & Roll at July 1 Huey Lewis & The News Gala’ at the fair

Connie and Bill McNally, internationally known antique dealers in Rancho Santa Fe, recently announced the launch of their new venture, McNally’s RSF Estate Auctions. The first auction, set for June 21-22 at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, will offer an array of antiques, designer furniture, paintings and objets d’art from some of the finest homes in Southern California. A portion of profits will benefit local charities. The McNallys, who will continue to own and operate McNally Company Antiques, their longtime shop on Paseo Delicias in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe, say they decided to add estate sale auctions because more and more clients, many with large homes in Rancho Santa Fe, either want to downsize or update the home’s interior design. Disposing of a lifetime of possessions can become problematic. “People who are scaling back often have large pieces that they’ve had in the family for years, and their kids don’t want them, they’re into more modern things,” says Connie. “Our clients want these treasured possessions to go to a good home because they are part of their family’s heritage.” Adds Bill: “Clients tell me ‘I’d rather sell the pieces now because if something happens to us, our kids won’t know what the values are, and they’ll give them away.’” Better, say the McNallys, to enjoy the extra money now, perhaps take a trip, or invest it for the future. “The beauty of antiques, particularly, is passing it down,” says Connie. “It is art history to begin with, and you are only a steward of it for a certain amount of time. Whether we sell an item in our shop, or at auction, it goes into the hands of someone else who loves and desires it.” Another advantage to selling at auction, the McNallys say, is to save often hefty storage fees. Bill tells the story of a couple who put many of their possessions in storage more than 20 years ago when they moved from La Jolla to Rancho Santa Fe. “I’ve paid $40,000 in storage,” the man told Bill. “And I have no idea in the world what’s there.” His wife still can’t bear to part with anything, so those costs will likely mount. Auctions have been around since the 16th century, and have been extremely successful, says Bill, for a simple reason: “People love the idea of finding a bargain.” Bidders in-

The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation presents its annual Dinner and Concert Gala on July 1 at the San Diego County Fair benefiting the Foundation’s educational programs. After cocktails and award-winning Taste of the Coast wine sampling, gourmet dinner at the famed Turf Club, presentation of Class of 2014 scholarship recipients, and other activities where guests can mingle with a who’s who of San Diego County society, the exclusive event culminates with champagne and VIP seating at one of the 2014 Fair’s most coveted concerts: Huey Lewis & the News. Individual tickets purchased by/on June 20 are $200 each; after, $250. Ticket packages offering sponsorship recognition are also available at several levels. Information and tickets are at www.dondiegoscholarship.org or dondiego@sdfair.com. Ticketed guests will receive free, all-day preferred parking so they can enjoy the 2014 Fab Fair’s plethora of activities, exhibits, rides, food and fun before the event. One notto-miss site is Don Diego’s Legacy Brick Fountain at the Plaza de México. Bricks are inscribed with the names of scholars and supporters past and present, as well as people commemorating a special person or occasion in their life. Legacy bricks can be purchased at any time on the website. Gala festivities begin at 4:30 p.m. While enjoying cocktails, guests can view and bid on guitars autographed by Fair Grandstand performers, celebrity-signed memorabilia, exciting getaway packages and other silent auction items. The auction begins on the website on June 7th. Each online item offers a Buy It Now option. The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation was named for Don Diego, AKA Tom Hernandez, who served as the Fair’s welcoming goodwill ambassador from 1947-1984. The Foundation has awarded more than $640,000 in college scholarships and grants for agricultural education since its inception in 1986. It invites people to make an investment that will pay dividends for students and the entire region. More information on programs and donation opportunities is at www.dondiegoscholarship.org and www.facebook.com/ DonDiegoScholarship.

Connie and Bill McNally clude collectors, interior designers, and those who need to furnish a new or second home. “They’re looking for that special piece,” says Connie, “that hidden treasure.” McNally’s RSF Estate Auctions will offer antiques, highend contemporary furniture from Baker and other fine furniture makers, and, especially “hot” right now, mid-century pieces from the 1950s through the 1970s. “You never know what’s going to come in the door,” says Bill. Adds Connie: “It’s exciting. It’s always a treasure hunt.” Previews for the McNally’s inaugural auction are Thursday, June 19, and Friday, June 20, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, 17025 Avenida De Acacias in Rancho Santa Fe. The auction will be held on Saturday, June 21, beginning at 10 a.m., and on Sunday, June 22, beginning at 1 p.m. For more information about consigning a single item or an entire estate, contact the McNally’s RSF Estate Auctions at (858) 756-2701, mcnallyauctions@ gmail.com, or www.rsfauctions.com

Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters co-founder wins several speech awards BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having been a district attorney since she was 24 years old, Laura Akers believed her way of speaking was “too intense.” That’s how she became one of the founding members of Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters, a local chapter of Toastmasters International, a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills. “I sounded like I was always trying to convict someone of murder,” said Akers, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, with a laugh. “I wanted to lighten that up and expand my ability to speak.” Since then, the local chapter has grown to 20 active members, and Akers recently won two first place awards for her humorous and inspirational speeches in the International Speech Contest for area two, district five. One of her speeches also took second place at the division level. “I was always really, really shy and that’s something people don’t understand about me — I’m a major introvert and very, very shy,” said Akers, who helped launch the group in March 2009. “Not anymore.” With the confidence and skills she gained from Toastmasters, in 2013, Akers enrolled in the Stand Up Comedy Clinic, a Burbank-

Laura Akers based comedy class led by comedian and teacher Jerry Corley. “It’s really one of the most profound experiences,” said Akers, who is also a member of the Professional Women’s Toastmasters Club, which meets monthly in San Marcos. “To be funny in comedy, you can’t be anybody but yourself. You have to reveal a lot of your own personality.” Because of her leadership in Toastmasters, Akers has been asked to speak at numerous events. She also holds business-coaching workshops, and teaches a class on jury selection and trial skills for lawyers. Headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., Toastmasters International

has more than 292,000 memberships in more than 14,350 clubs in 122 countries. The Rancho Santa Fe chapter is always looking for new members. Meetings take place from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays at Rancho Santa Fe Community Center, located at 5970 La Sendita. “It’s a huge fear many people have, but our meetings are nothing to be scared of,” Akers said. “Everyone supports you and wants you to do well.” For more information, call 619-840-4822 or visit http://1301323.toastmastersclubs.org.

Patriot Profiles: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We try to focus energy on guys we can saveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; This column presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patriot Profilesâ&#x20AC;? to provide readers insight into the lives of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The twang of an Ibanez guitar wafts out of a medical tent on Forward Operating Base Nolay, Afghanistan. The music is cathartic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; smoothing the ragged edges of Marines serving in Sangin, where the thunder of war and final cries of fallen warriors hover in a sacred, inaudible shroud. Entering the tent, one would see strapping Navy Hospital Corpsman (HM3) Kristopher Krysa, strumming his instrument, who, upon seeing a brother in uniform in a funk, would offer a joke, a silly jig, or even a man hug. For that same brother, taken down in a fight, the strumming ends while Krysa stops a gushing artery, stitches a bullet wound, or pumps his chest to sustain life. The nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doc Bruteâ&#x20AC;? was given to Krysa by his Afghan medical counterparts because of his impressive moustache. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bruteâ&#x20AC;? means moustache in Dari, the national language. Krysa has learned some Dari to assist him as a medical advisor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; training the Afghan National Army (ANA) in combat casualty care. An email came to Krysaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief requesting personnel for a Security Forces team. He was selected among the best to be attached to 2nd Marine Air Wing, stationed at Cherry Point, North Carolina. He states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Marine Corps does not have any medical assets. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all provided by the Navy.â&#x20AC;? Krysa is moved by his part in the ground work our troops are laying down before they leave Afghanistan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible to see are the Afghans taking the helmâ&#x20AC;ŚThey went from being able to provide no care to their casualties to limited

care and now they can handle some severe casualties here without our assistance. We try to be hands off as much as possible and allow them to do all the work.â&#x20AC;? He adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for us, [is] we could easily intervene in some situations and save livesâ&#x20AC;ŚIn no way does that help the Afghans take the lead in terms of providing their own care. If we brought in fancy equipment, drugs, whatever is needed to save patients â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then when we leave, and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sustain those abilities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how are we helping them? â&#x20AC;&#x153;[We] try and guide them through â&#x20AC;&#x201D; asking leading questions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do you think that guy needs antibiotics? Did you check his back for gunshot wounds? In our area, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only had one Marine casualty. Outside of that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always ANA. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re performing most of the [enemy] clearing operations â&#x20AC;Śhere in Sangin.â&#x20AC;? Base Nolay is Krysaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first deployment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awesome relationship â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a corpsman with the Marines, you are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;Ś thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different kind of respect you get and how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treated as long as you are competent and capable in your abilities. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different than being on the blue side Navy with all Navy personnel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you get lost in the sauce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one corpsman out of hundreds.â&#x20AC;? A native Chicagoan, who his mom still calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;the baby of the family,â&#x20AC;? Krysaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golden opportunity came via the Navy in 2009. He was working on becoming a firefighter and when he received his EMT certification he became interested in paramedics school but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it. He knew

U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Joshua Young the Navy would give him the education he wanted and he would then, â&#x20AC;&#x153;be able to work alongside people who definitely need it. As a corpsman, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trained to do a little bit of everything.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corps school and Field Medicine School, where he was taught combat casualty care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You [also] learn about Marine Corps history and traditions and you get more of a mindset to work with the Marines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before I was in the military, I had hair down to my shoulders and was a hippie. [I] decided thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point in standing on the side and complainingâ&#x20AC;Ś when I could help take care of these guys that have volunteered their lives for their country. These are guys Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably talk to until Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old and gray because the situations you get put in here are a lot different than high school stories.â&#x20AC;? Getting caught running from a party doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compare to getting caught in a firefightâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing,â&#x20AC;? says Krysa, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is knowing where every single Marine is at. One time we took contact and one of our Marines was shot.â&#x20AC;? Doc had positioned himself to get to anyone as fast as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was able to get to him right away and take care

of him.â&#x20AC;? His calm actions under fire while treating a wounded Marine coupled with work with the ANA led to a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement medal. Field medicine is â&#x20AC;&#x153;more aggressiveâ&#x20AC;? than stateside emergency medicine, affirms Krysa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The outside world would not advise using tourniquets. Here, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re your #1 go-to, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re incredible in terms of life-saving ability. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different mindset â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to deal with as many laws and somebody suing us. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about that with these Marines.â&#x20AC;? Tricky is dealing with the mindset of the wounded. What sounds bad is one of the healthiest approaches, according to Krysa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You joke, you laugh about the situation. If [they] wallow too much in it and try to handle it all now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overwhelming and can be distracting. There are amputations, severe gunshot wounds, gunshot wounds to the face, and all sorts of different stuff. If I dwelled on the fact these are human beings getting injured and hurt and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about my job at hand, I can easily get overwhelmed and depressed about human lives being lost. You have to do the job and continue on.â&#x20AC;? In a world gone wrong, not every good life can be saved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we have to run down and assess multiple casualties for the ANA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard. We had a well-known Recon officer with the ANAâ&#x20AC;Śvery respected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was dead by the time we got there. They (ANA) were trying to get us to do something and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to tell them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing we can do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult sometimes to get across that cultural barrierâ&#x20AC;Śwe try to focus energy on guys we can save.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life with him is an adventure,â&#x20AC;? shares a Marine brother about Krysa, who says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You make the time pass when you laugh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a lot easier than thinking about how bad things are.â&#x20AC;? The good Doc gives hugs to lower stress to resistant Marines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They go from being mad to laughing, then problem solved.â&#x20AC;? His guitar is his fulcrum or support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could sit and play at the end of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not think about anything.â&#x20AC;? Krysaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical bag of skills and tricks do well in a land giving a boot to terror. Doc says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to see that spirit and attitude the Marines brought in of wanting to win and push the Taliban out of the area has passed over to the ANA.â&#x20AC;? The adventurous Doc Brute, along with his adopted Mr. Potato Head (also sporting a moustache), can be seen in his You Tube video â&#x20AC;&#x153;Morale, Mission First.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your attitude is what you start with every day,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wake up and decide whether you want to be a grump or choose to make a change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be better.â&#x20AC;? To chase away the dark clouds of war, HM3 Kristopher Krysa reminds his brothers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are making a difference. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to see sometimes, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want all this to be for nothing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all the lives that have been lost in this area to be for nothing.â&#x20AC;?

Map Museum adds rare, Italian astronomical calendar to collection BY PAT SHERMAN A colorfully detailed, astronomical calendar that once reminded monks in a monastery in Verona, Italy of Easterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; considered by some to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;arguably the ultimate ancestor to the analogue computerâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the latest addition to the permanent collection of the Map and Atlas Museum of La Jolla, 7825 Fay Ave., suite LL-A. The item can be viewed for free at the museum during regular hours, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays and the first and third Saturdays of the month. Known as the San Zeno Astrolabe (devices historically used by navigators, astronomers and astrologers to locate positions of the sun, moon and stars, determine local time and cast horoscopes) the object was made of ink on wood and vellum (animal skin) circa 1455. It was housed in an abbey once attached to the Basilica of San Zeno in Verona Italy for over three centuries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even after the community was decimated by the bubonic plague in the 1600s. The abbey was destroyed in the Napoleonic Wars (1803-

feast days and times of the saints to whom the monks intended to pray. It was placed in such a way that it would have been seen by all of the monks several times each day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as they left the dormitory for midnight liturgy, as they returned to bed and as they returned to church in the morning. It was, in effect, the monkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clock, allowing them to tell the time based on sunrise, sunset and the position of the sun in the sky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These little tags say, in Latin, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;badâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;indifferent,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Cloward said, pointing to a particular area of the wheel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under those signs of the zodiac, it was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;badâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;indifferentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for bloodletting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it served all sorts of purposes.â&#x20AC;?

Since 1955 Civic Youth Orchestra â&#x20AC;&#x153;has enriched the lives of young musicians all over Southern California. Its stair-step program is offered to ages 5 to 22, enhancing the art of music culture for aspiring musicians who are beginning their musical experience to the most advanced, seeking to complement their passion of music with a professional and nostalgic orchestra such as Civic Youth.â&#x20AC;?

These zodiac illustrations were likely added to the astronomical calendar 50 years after its creation. 1815) and the calendar seemingly disappeared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thought was that it had been looted, but it appears as though it was taken by a family and kept, and then went to another family a little later on before it came onto the market in 2010,â&#x20AC;? map museum director Richard Cloward said of the object, believed to be the only one of its kind to have survived the Medieval Period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interestingly, the Italian government had never asked for it back.â&#x20AC;? Cloward said museum founder Michael Stone purchased the astrolabe through a private party in New York City, via Italy, but would not disclose its value. The astrolabe served as the primary timekeeper for the monks, who saw and used it daily to organize their devotional schedule. Its three dials could be rotated by hand to chart the phases of the moon, the zodiacal calendar of the stars, the amount of daylight occurring on any given day and the

Success in music and family converge for country star Joe Nichols BY ROB LEDONNE It’s a quiet Friday afternoon in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Joe Nichols is eagerly anticipating his upcoming gig supporting Lady Antebellum on their nationwide tour. “I love this tour,” Nichols said via telephone while walking around Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center. “Lady A are good people, for sure.” Nichols is fortunate that he enjoys touring because he’s been doing quite a bit of it lately (both solo and with Antebellum), and, on June 11, Nichols brings his bevy of hits (which includes 14 top 40 country singles so far) to the Heineken Grandstand Stage at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar. His hectic schedule is in support of his latest album, “Crickets,” which has received rave reviews by critics and audiences, largely thanks to the gold-selling hit “Sunny and 75” (a recent number one country smash in both the U.S. and Canada), and follow-up single “Yeah” (the music video for which just premiered on Country Music Television). “The critics can be right and can be wrong and that can be both good and bad,” Nichols said. “I’m glad they’ve given me the benefit of the doubt for so long, but what the fans think is always most important to me.”

I’m at a good place in my life, and I think this latest album reflects that.” Besides the success of his latest singles, Nichols’ good life also includes being a devoted father and husband. Late last month, his wife, Heather, gave birth to a new daughter named Georgia Blue. Nichols also has a 2-year-old daughter, and a 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship,

and the busy house can make it hard for him to leave sometimes. “It’s always difficult,” he said. “The way I look at is that I have to make the most of my time when I get home. I try to show up rested, so when I’m home I can be alert and with them.” However, leaving the house to play for throngs of screaming fans has its upsides as well. “All of the venues we play are unique and

cool in their own way,” Nichols said, noting he’s particularly looking forward to the gig at the County Fair. “It reminds me of my own childhood; I get nostalgic with all of the fair food and rides. Fair crowds are usually very excited as well. Plus, tickets are cheap so everybody gets to go.” Despite releasing seven studio albums, Nichols still gets excited when he hears his hits on the radio. “I was driving around Nashville yesterday and they were playing one of my songs on the radio,” he said. “It felt great... it tickles me to death, I can never hear it enough.” Nichols is especially tickled over “Crickets,” which hit goldselling status in January. “The title of the album came about because we were picking songs that sounded like they could be played on a riverbank,” he said of the distinctive sound the insects make during humid nights in the American south. “The latest single, ‘Yeah,’ is about being in the country and getting your hook-up on. It’s not that complicated.” Joe Nichols will perform at the San Diego County Fair (Heineken Grandstand Stage) on Wednesday, June 11, at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free with fair admission.

Over 150 of Your Neighbors ........ Dear Neighbor, I know you are busy. But, if you, like me, care about protecting the value of your home, I hope you will consider voting for me for the HOA Board. I am not looking to turn the world upside down. I just want to see basic sound business practices implemented to protect our investments. The Finance Committee must be fully consulted before any major expenditures are made. Executive compensation packages must be reviewed and approved by vote of the full Board. Operating expenditures must be kept in-line with operating revenues. I oppose any dues increase. One proposal on dues that has been knocked around for years is to simply have every homeowner pay a flat amount. While this may sound attractive at first blush to some, I believe that it is impractical as it could have the effect of dramatically increasing older homeowners' fees. There is no need to raise dues on anyone. Our Association revenues are more than sufficient to meet our needs. We simply need to operate in a more business-like fashion. We can use existing resources to improve safety, technology access, and our community. These plans must be fully vetted, circulated amongst all homeowners and acted upon only when the appropriate public process has been completed. I am committed to reversing the trend of recent years, which has seen our home appreciation lag far behind our neighbors outside the Covenant. I am also committed to being available for one-on-one questions, concerns, or a particular interest in issues coming before the Board. You can always reach me by calling (858) 225-7275. Best Wishes, Kim Eggleston (858) 225-7275

Since my election to the RSF Board 3 years ago, I have studied Association finances, asked questions, and proposed ways to promote transparency and financial discipline. We have made progress. But, as you probably know, my efforts have not always been greeted warmly. Most significantly, there was great consternation when I requested that Board members be made aware of the Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive pay package. As eventually became clear, the compensation was simply well above market and something that would never have been approved had it been subjected to appropriate prior disclosure and review. Managing a budget is easy if you ignore shortfalls by simply dipping into Community Enhancement Funds. I am now asking for your support to continue on the Board and for your support for Kim Eggleston as well. Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business experience and independence are the two ingredients most in need at the Association Board. Kim understands how to read a balance sheet and is skilled at balancing competing economic choices. While I am sure that Kim and I will not always agree on every issue, I can be certain that he will always look at issues with care and honest consideration for the best interests of RSF homeowners.

BY RANDI CRAWFORD Have you seen the movie “The Hunger Games”? The scene where Katniss Everdeen is paraded in front of thousands of people, with her long dress that bursts into flames while she’s twirling round and round like she’s on top of the world. But in reality, it’s all for show and what lies beneath is dirty and ugly. That’s sort of how I feel right now. I love watching the NCAA men’s basketball tournament more than any sporting event there is, but when I read that Shabazz Napier told reporters that he sometimes goes to bed starving because he can’t afford food it caught my attention. Obviously he’s not starving, but I thought to myself, could this be partially true? As I started digging, I realized that I was opening Pandora’s Box. The subject of whether or not a “student athlete” should be paid is not black and white. In fact, I learned that the term “student athlete” is the center of the controversy. A “student athlete” at a Division I school receives a worldclass education for free, in exchange for his talent on the court, plus an opportunity to showcase his talents. Not to mention the players are treated like Gods

around campus. That’s the “flaming dress” part, here’s what I found when I looked behind the dress. I spoke with a good friend, (Tom Greis) who went to Villanova with my husband and me, and played basketball. Today, he’s an incredibly passionate sports fan who has walked a mile in these kids’ shoes. He believes that student athletes are indentured servants, and he gave me some things to consider when sorting this out: Men’s college basketball and football generates billions of dollars every year, with money coming from: ticket sales; sporting goods stores that sell players’ jerseys and memorabilia; video games (my son has all of them at $59 a pop) using the likeness and numbers of the athletes; corporate sponsors who provide shoes, clothing and drinks; and the biggest revenue provider, television. And with all the billions being generat-

Last week I went back to a class reunion at the United States Military Academy West Point. The weather was beautiful, the cadet’s parade marvelous but my thoughts were about Rancho Santa Fe problems. I talked with the Superintendent about the West Point Code of “Duty Honor Country,” the heart of cadets’ endeavors. I asked, “Is it retained as ethics for all army officers? Could it be for people running a village or business?” I found my answer from him, from General MacArthur years before and from Harvard Business School. General MacArthur said “Duty Honor Country” is a great moral code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land of culture and ancient descent.” (I thought of the people who created Rancho Santa Fe whose foresight gave us our unusual rural roads network, our art jury to help us create homes we dreamt of building, a village where to meet cordial friends, “Duty” to take turns in our own government, “Honor” in our dealings with each other; “Country” to work with the communities and county around us.) The people that proceeded us were/are our friends, our parents and our instructors, our examples. They belong to us by their virtues and achievements. We cannot set aside what they have created and given us in a moral sense of ethics for things that are right and restrain from things that are wrong. Later the air force sent me to Harvard HBS. The faculty has a deep sense of ethics; a different purpose than West Point’s, but as strong. It is all about: •Responsibility: To the greater good and the big picture of human life. •Transparency: In our decision making and actions. •Honesty: In what we say, show and do. •Accountability: With respect to what we’ve caused or contributed to in our actions. 400 MBA graduates took an oath this year about business ethics, a new outlook when we clearly need one. Where will RSF go? This year? Ten years from now? Will we have greater friendship and personal regard to retain this unique community of today? With resolve we will have a sense of pride and yet humility to always be for “Duty Honor Country” in Rancho Santa Fe. Bill Schlosser

Transparency and civil discussion PIC-style 1) PIC types pre-select the candidates. The “non-ordained” are unofficial, unworthy, and PIC knows best. 2) The current PIC candidates object to being called PIC candidates, calling it a conspiracy theory; however, for the first time in 10 years, PIC recently endorsed these same two candidates, who now say they have no connection to PIC whatsoever. All the PIC types support them, and not one PIC type supports the opposing candidates. 3) The PIC landlord who owns the Post Office building and controls the “community” bulletin board only allows PIC candidates to campaign at the Post Office, and only allots space in the “community” bulletin board to PIC candidates. 4) PIC types bash all communications challenging their perspective as “misinformed,” “silly,” “insulting,” or from “malcontents” who should move away if they don’t like it here. PIC types “remove” (steal) competing candidates’ signs too. They have the PIC and RSF Association megaphones and want that to be the only form of messaging, other than the ugly whisper campaign. PIC then complains about the negative tone. 5) PIC types send a continuous stream of angry emails with outrageous claims about non-PIC candidates and then demand they not be posted. They then go to board meetings and complain about the “negativity” caused by the non-PIC candidates. 6) Recently a board member was censured for asking to see the RSFA manager’s contract. However, a PIC-supported candidate recently made a statement to the U-T San Diego that this “information has always been available.” The PIC-supported candidate must not know that this information has always been available to PIC types only? 7) The current president of the RSF Association board makes unfounded, unfair accusations in board meetings, then uses his president’s column to bemoan the negativity. 8) PIC candidates continue to campaign that only they can restore civility, but fail to object to the dirty tactics being employed by their PIC-type supporters – defamatory letters; ugly whisper campaigns: stealing political signs; etc. Lisa Bartlett

Déjà vu? “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” declared Barack Obama on Oct. 30, 2008. That was then, and it is now where some intend to fundamentally transform this very special village where we purposely chose to live because of its uniqueness. I can hear the Venice, Calif., school children from Aug. 19, 2008, again today mindlessly chanting “Yes we can.” The current president and Democrat hopeful Hillary are both serious students of Saul Alinsky who was devoted to destroying a system he regarded as oppressive and unjust. Sound familiar? The Alinsky singular principle — take power from the “haves” and give it to the “have-nots.” This is an assault on the established order, the goal to give themselves power and a pat on the back — and perhaps the real issue: “follow the money.” Many, perhaps, most people are committed to compromise and peaceful resolution of conflicting opinions. In contrast, some prefer threats of personal destruction and intimidation. Those who believe in truth and rules of fairness may not be a match for those who wish to demonize and destroy them. Fortunately, we have the Constitution that allows “free speech”: the First Amendment. This works for all sides in a discussion or election. Moreover, backing up statements with verifiable facts, not foundless aspersions, is always best. Just a few years ago (Feb. 19, 2008), we remember reading and listening to these words, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” A nation? Rancho Santa Fe?

Education Matters/Opinion

News for high school athletes and graduating seniors BY MARSHA SUTTON In her fight to ensure fair and equal access for all public school students in California, Sally Smith is a champion for those without a voice and Public Enemy Marsha Sutton #1 to those who view her as a destructive force in public education. Smith is a doggedly determined attorney who began her pursuit to eliminate improper fees in public schools in the San Diego Unified School District where her children attended school. Since then, she has branched out and been involved in dozens of legal cases against school districts state-wide and has sponsored legislation in Sacramento to force districts to change policies that she says unfairly target poor families. Last month, Smith set her sights on the San Dieguito Union High School District, filing a Uniform Complaint on May 2 that charges the district with illegal fees in five areas: student parking, sports physicals, athletics transportation, withholding graduation and cap-and-gown sales. Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, responded May 30, writing in summary, “The district is compliant with the law, including the state constitution’s free school guarantee, in all aspects brought forth by this complaint.” Although Dill’s response states that the district has done nothing illegal, he hedged a bit on the cap-and-gown charges for graduating seniors. Because it was not made clear that school districts must provide caps and gowns this year at no charge, the district plans to refund money to all families that purchased caps and gowns if they don’t want to keep them or personalize them. Families should save their receipts, since each school may have charged a different amount, with cost increases after deadlines passed. Dill said the district will contact families next week to let them know how to return their cap-and-gown attire after graduation for full refunds. More on this next week. Sports physicals More immediate is the issue of sports physicals, which are being offered by the district’s high school foundations for a $25 fee this week, to students wishing to participate in a high school sport for the 2014-2015 school year. The foundations at all four San Dieguito high schools offer physicals to athletes as a service to the community, and charge $25 – which is supposed to be clearly labeled as a donation and not a fee. But at Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy, the initial announcements telling parents about these “physicals nights” did not say the $25 was a donation, and did not state that students could go somewhere else for their physicals. Torrey Pines promoted it this way: “TPHS – All Sports Physicals $25 (annual physicals are a requirement to complete the athletic packet). Thursday, June 5.” Canyon Crest’s flyer, distributed through CCA’s foundation newsletter on May 6, stated that athletes are required to pass a physical exam and students can get their physicals on June 4. Cost was given as follows: “$25 cash or check payable to ‘CCAF’ (CCA Foundation).” Nowhere did it say the $25 is a donation or

that physicals can be obtained elsewhere. When I spoke to CCA principal Karl Mueller on May 13 about the May 6 flyer, he said he alerted the foundation to the problem and reviewed new language which he said included phrasing indicating that this was only one option and that the $25 is a donation and not a fee. He also said a revised flyer noting the clarification would be distributed soon. No revised flyer was ever distributed. In fact, on May 23 the same flyer once again was sent out. “I saw the language change in the draft for approval,” Mueller said on May 24, clearly frustrated. “I thought it was done.” Mueller said he would speak with the foundation director to learn why the corrected flyer was not distributed, but noted that other people who work with the foundation are volunteers and sometimes the right messages don’t get communicated. “I’m going to make sure that’s corrected and I’ll have it re-sent,” he said. It’s now June 2, 10 days later, and still no revised flyer has been distributed – although the flyer found on the district’s website, after digging around a bit, now states that “one option” for obtaining a physical is to attend the CCA Sports Physical Night. But still no clarification that the $25 is technically a donation and not a fee. Meanwhile, the foundation never distributed a new flyer to make it clear that there are corrections, so unaware parents may easily be left with the wrong impression from the earlier flyers that they must get a physical for their kids through the foundation at a cost of $25. Fee for service Smith called it a fee for service when charitable nonprofit foundations charge for physicals, and said, “It is illegal for a charity to sell a service …” She cited the Singer v. United States court case: “[I]t is well established judicially that in order to be deductible …, a contribution must qualify as a gift in the common law sense of being a voluntary transfer of property without consideration.” Dill, in his formal response to Smith’s complaint, disavowed responsibility for the foundations’ actions, saying the district does not charge nor receive fees for student-athletes’ physicals, and does not sponsor these “physicals nights.” Therefore, the district, he wrote, “is in compliance with the state constitution.” “If it were something we were doing at the school, that would be one thing, but this is a foundation-run thing,” said Dill, drawing a dubious distinction between an organization that raises money on behalf of the school, and the school itself. In his response, Dill wrote, “The fees charged are accepted by the foundation, not the school or district, and are not transferred from the foundation to the district. The district receives no money from the giving of physicals, and does not offer physicals to students.” He said the foundations “know our prohibitions” and general guidelines are shared with them. “But we don’t always vet everything they put out,” he said. Even though they are independent entities, are school foundations not under the direction of the school district when they violate the law? Do district employees have no control over foundations when the foundations go about

raising money for schools in the name of the school? The way the foundation presents the information is only part of Smith’s concern. In her interpretation of the law, she believes it is illegal to force students to pay for a physical at all, to anyone, because she claims participation in athletics is integral to the overall educational experience. In her San Dieguito complaint, Smith compared sports physicals to the requirement that students wear P.E. uniforms, which must be provided at no charge. If the district requires physicals, then the district must pay – or the district can waive the requirement for physicals, she asserted. She included in her complaint a sample letter from the Murrieta Valley High School athletic department, which states in part, “We do not require physicals for tryout but recommend one.” But Dill disagreed, writing in his response, “Exams are required in order for students to be compliant with the CIF rule requiring that all athletes complete physical exams.” Dill said the law requiring students to have physicals to play high school sports goes back decades and is clear. Smith agreed that the California Interscholastic Federation requires physicals, but said, “While CIF may make it mandatory, CIF does not override the California state constitution which prohibits any fees to gain entry to participate in school activities.” The correct wording Dill said the foundations at the district’s four high schools, all of which offer a similar physical exam evening for athletes, “charge a nominal fee to generate revenue for the foundation.” But the physical exam, he said, can be obtained anywhere, not necessarily through the school’s foundation, as long as the school’s form is signed by a doctor or recognized medical professional. “We don’t care which doctor or physician’s assistant signs it or how you get that, but we just need it,” he said. He noted that the foundations’ flyers only needed to include wording stating that the $25 was a donation and that the physicals through the foundation-run event were just one option. “Then people know it’s not a requirement,” Dill said. “It’s merely an option that families have.” No one is required to go to the foundation event in order to participate in athletics, he said. Dill rejected the pay-to-play charge, again emphasizing that having a physical is a CIF rule, not the district’s – an argument Smith refutes. Dill said the district would not pay a co-pay or reimburse for an out-of-pocket expense if a student wanted to play a sport but could not afford the physical. But he said he might suggest to the foundation on their “physicals night” that the exam be provided to financially strapped students at no charge. “I’m sure they would do that,” he said. “But it would take those conversations for that to happen.” Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

TPHS Golf Team sets singleday CIF team scoring record The Torrey Pines High School Boys Golf Team recently set a single-day CIF team scoring record by shooting a 10-under par 350 at the Admiral Baker North Course. Its two-day score of 710 (10-under par) is also a CIF record. Torrey Pines trailed Rancho Bernardo by nine strokes after Day 1 of the championships. Its record Day 2 performance vaulted TP past RB to its fifth consecutive San Diego Section championship (a CIF record) and its 20th overall. No other San Diego high school has more than seven championships. Torrey Pines had four golfers under par for the two-day championship, including Jamie Cheatham (-4), Otto Vanhatalo (-3), Kyo Azumada (-3) and Jonah Holty (-1).

Torrey Pines wins 9 medals in CIF Track & Field Championships Fourteen Torrey Pines athletes competed in 11 events at the San Diego Section CIF Track & Field Championships on Saturday, May 31. The Falcons earned nine medals in six events by placing in the top 5 with the top three advancing to the State Championships on June 6-7 in Clovis, Calif. Senior Tal Braude won in the 1600m and placed 2nd in the 3200m, an amazing feat of endurance with only three hours between these two tough races on the hot, sunny day. He earned a new personal record (PR) of 4:13:03 min. in his first race, the 1600m. In addition to receiving two medals, he was given a plaque and recognized at the meet as the recipient of the Joe Brooks Award for Excellence in Cross Country. Joining Tal at the State CIF Championships later this week will be Junior Jackie Garner who earned a berth in the 1600m with a PR of 5:05.11 min. Six Falcons narrowly missed advancing to the State Finals with 4th place finishes. These included the 4 x 100m relay team (sophomores Kaitlin Iwanowicz, Isabella Hoang, Jayla Williams and AC Kaseberg) with a blistering PR of 49.47 sec; Senior Jack Kuzminksy in the 800m with a PR of 1:53:44 min; and Junior Joey DeMarco with another PR in the shot put of 52-05 ft. Rounding out the top 10 finishers were Kaitlin Iwanowicz in the long jump, Jayla Williams in the 300m hurdles and Junior Taylor Seamans in the 800m. Taylor was also a member of the 4 x 400m relay team with AC Kaseberg, Junior Macenzi McGuire and Senior Julia Skyhar.

RANT continued from page 24 ed, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;student athleteâ&#x20AC;? sees none of it. Now, mind you, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;student athleteâ&#x20AC;? is not allowed to go out and earn money using his likeness and/or his number. Does that seem right to you? Now hold on before you say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait a minute Randi, they are getting a world-class education, publicity on national television, and have the possibility of going pro.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more to the story than all the glory. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a misconception that a full scholarship takes care of everything, including simple things like gas money, toiletries, and clothing. A student who is on an academic scholarship has time to bring in some extra income, yet a full scholarship player canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Look at Mark Zuckerberg and his little side business. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk about the world-class education, which is the compensation exchange for the talent on the court. A student athlete (who has to re-sign their contract annually) has their entire schedule mapped out for them with zero input. In 2003 the NCAA repealed a ruling, which set standards for SATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to get into school. Today, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;student athleteâ&#x20AC;? no longer needs to achieve a

certain score on their SAT or ACT scores, but the school does have to graduate at least half of the members of the team in order for these kids to play in the post season, such as the recent NCAA tournament.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Student athletesâ&#x20AC;? are being given a course load to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep them eligible.â&#x20AC;? You can read between the lines. An instructor at the University of North Carolina conducted research that showed 60 percent of basketball and football players read between 4th and 8th grade levels. Should these players even step foot on campus in the first place? We need Coach Carter. How are we preparing them for jobs in the real world? These kids are all one hit or injury away from losing their scholarships and careers forever, and will have nothing to fall back on. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly daunting. Should â&#x20AC;&#x153;student athletesâ&#x20AC;? get paid? Should they be allowed to earn money off their personal skill set and likeness? Should we add to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the listâ&#x20AC;? of what their scholarship offers, including more money for food, clothing, gas and toiletries? And, how are we defining â&#x20AC;&#x153;student athlete?â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love your thoughts. Email me at www.randiccrawford@ gmail.com.

The project is being considered for the Surfside Race Place, a satellite wagering facility built at the northeast corner of the fairgrounds in 1991. Originally built to handle crowds of 5,000 people per day to bet on horse races around the country, attendance has dwindled from a high of 2,900 daily visitors to about 300 to 350 currently, according to fairgrounds officials, The brewery project is intended to draw more visitors to the facility and increase revenue from food and beverage sales and betting, said fairgrounds general manager Tim Fennell after Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board meeting. Fennell said he hopes to issue the request for proposals within the next couple of weeks, and have a proposal to the board for final approval in September or October. If all goes smoothly, he said, the craft brewery could be open in time for the 2015 San Diego County Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimistic but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a possibility,â&#x20AC;? he said. The request for proposals states that the 22nd DAA is committed to financing up to $1 million for construction of the brewery, and bidders would have to guarantee lease payments to the agency of at least $1.5 million over five years. Fennell said the 22nd DAA would also spend $2 million to $3 million on upgrades to the satellite wagering centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant, construction of a tasting room and a museum on the history of beer brewing in San Diego. The agency expects to recoup those costs through increased food and beverage sales over a period of three to five years, Fennell said. The project could also benefit North County businesses, as well as local government agencies through increased tax revenues, Fennell said. At Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, Watson asked whether the board had approved spending $1 million on the brewery. Fennell and other directors said the expenditure has been discussed and would have to be approved by the board before an agreement with a brewing company could be finalized. Watson also objected to the wording of the request for proposals because he said smaller local breweries might not be able to compete with larger companies for the contract. Director Stephen Shewmaker, who is leading the effort to find an alternative use for the satellite wagering center, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that very small companies might not be able to take on such a project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got financial backbone,â&#x20AC;? he said. Fennell said the fairgrounds expects to sell 2,000 to 3,000 kegs of beer from the brewery each year during the fair, horse races and other events. Beer produced in excess of the fairgroundsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs could be sold to outside bars, restaurants or supermarkets. The tasting room would feature beers made by local brewers, in addition to the product produced on-site, said director Russ Penniman.

Local nonprofit offers military therapy services BY KRISTINA HOUCK An estimated 22 veterans commit suicide in the United States every day, according to a 2012 Department of Veterans Affairs study. Nevertheless, a number of VA health facilities face allegations of poor treatment of veterans, including fraudulent recordkeeping that covered up excessive and sometimes deadly waiting times at some facilities. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, a local clinic is emphasizing its military therapy services. Alliant Couple and Family Clinic provides more than 125 San Diego couples and families low-fee therapy sessions per month. Of the families the nonprofit organization serves, nearly 70 percent are active and veteran military families. “It feels very rewarding,” said Dr. Lisa PalmerOlsen, clinic co-founder and director. “A lot of these people would otherwise fall through the cracks. “They would take a test when they get back from their deployment saying that they’re fine or maybe be referred for an individual assessment, but there’s no way they would get the immediate kind of care that we can give them when they walk in the door for their relationships.” Founded in 2010, Alliant Couple and Family Clinic is a training clinic for Alliant International University students to become trained in the EFT model of therapy. Having both served in the U.S. Marines, Alliant International University postdoctoral candidates and clinic trainees, Joe Grady and Patrick Hunt, know firsthand the hardships military members face when they transition into civilian life. In 2005, Grady lost his right arm and several of his fellow infantrymen after one accidental step on an

PARADISE? Alliant International University postdoctoral candidates, Joe Grady and Patrick Hunt, serve as trainees at Alliant Couple and Family Clinic in San Diego. Photo by Kristina Houck IED. After two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, Hunt returned home with terrifying memories. With their backgrounds, Grady and Hunt can relate to the clinic’s military clients on a unique level. “When you’re in the military, it’s a different culture, but also a different way of being and dealing,” said Hunt. The 33-year-old Miami native enlisted in the Marines when he was 18. “We know exactly what it is to be a Marine in combat situations. We know what it’s like to have those difficult conversations. We don’t come from a strictly therapeutic standpoint, but also from an experiential standpoint.” “It’s instant credibility with that person,” added 28-year-old Grady, a San Diego native, who joined the Marines when he was 18. “It’s a culture that the civilian world doesn’t entirely know.” The facility specializes in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) sessions for military and all clients in distressed relationships. The clinic is only one of 12 centers in the nation with certified EFT expertise. “The men and women who are coming back from combat areas are extremely isolated,” Palmer-Olsen said. “We don’t want to go and just treat them into further isolation. “We really need to un-isolate these people that are coming back. Part of doing that is working with the entire family, not just working with the individual. It’s a game changer when it comes to mental health.” “If you can get the couple or the family in the room, we can create change that’s longer lasting and we can create change quicker,” Grady added. “That individual walks out of your office into a family, a community, a variety of situations where they’re interacting with people around them. If we can create support for them, that can be extremely beneficial.” Alliant Couple and Family Clinic is located at 10065 Old Grove Road, Suite 102, in San Diego. For more information about Alliant Couple and Family Clinic, call 858-547-9803 or visit www.acfcsd.org.

CLUB continued from page 1 and increased value within the Covenant, including increasing membership at our athletic facilities, both Golf and Tennis. Our Golf Club currently has 508 members steadily decreasing from 562 in 2009 (10 percent decrease in five years) from a high of 683 in 2004 (26 percent decrease over 10 years). Our Tennis Club has seen even more drastic decreases. From 2009 to 2014 the Tennis Club memberships have decreased from 254 to 179, which represents a 30 percent decrease in the past five years alone. Across the country, independent tennis and golf clubs, like ours, are dealing with the challenge of declining memberships. Successful club communities have learned to monetize their investments in both return on investment and attractiveness, primarily in pool, fitness and dining. The 2013 McMahon Club Trends Report indicates that 75 percent of all new members joining clubs are under age 56, and their actual age span is 30 - 55 years of age. Communities must attract younger members and younger families (a link to the McMahon Report is available on the Association website under Health Club and Pool Committee). Amenities offered in communities today are important to members in two very important ways. First, they contribute to members’ personal enjoyment and feeling of community. Secondly, amenities affect property values. Regardless of whether any member individually desires or uses a particular amenity, they have an impact on the value of all members’ property values. You may not walk the trails every day, attend our elementary school, or play golf or tennis but these amenities attract new buyers to our community. These are very important social oppor-

SCHOOL continued from page 1 la but the district is still required to create an LCAP. The accountability plan outlines the district’s annual goals for all students and addresses the state’s eight priorities that include items such as student achievement and college readiness, parental involvement, student engagement and implementation of the Common Core State Standards.

tunities that make our town very desirable to live in. Over the years, many new communities have sprung up offering facilities with many amenities including golf, tennis, health clubs, and pools, to attract a wider demographic. These communities are our competition when attracting new home buyers. I was recently sent a home value analysis independently compiled by First American Title that compared home values in the Covenant to home values in The Bridges between 2004 and 2013. The study revealed a 16.7 percent decrease in home values in the Covenant over the same 10year period in which The Bridges increased their home values by 12.9 percent. Both communities offer high-end housing with some common amenities — golf, tennis, attendance at the same elementary school. Of course there are many factors that make up the difference in home valuations but there appears to be evidence that an important difference is The Bridges offers a health club and pool facility. As a director of the Association I feel that I owe it to our community to explore the viability of a health club and pool facility and its ability to help increase the near and longterm property values of the Covenant as well as overall member satisfaction. What is the makeup of the committee? Slosar: There are 14 members on the committee, roughly comprised equally of men and women. They range in age from parents of young children to seniors. All are volunteers that began with very diverse opinions and ideas including two members initially opposed to the entire idea of a health club and pool (their input proved very important and over time have become much more open to the idea). We have Director Craig McAllister and myself who

are Tennis Club members as well as other representatives from the Tennis Club, Golf Club, and neighbors who live near the clubs. In January 2014, we posted a committee formation notice to all Covenant members. This posting lasted 30 days and accepted everybody who expressed interest and could attend most of our meetings. In addition to our committee members we have had gratis expert guidance from Lusardi Construction, Mission Pools and Mason Architecture and Design. In addition, staff from the Tennis Club and Golf Club have been helpful attending meetings and providing their expertise. We have also had many additional Covenant members come to observe our meetings and even participate. Their feedback has been very helpful in shaping our design and really understanding some of the challenges. Finally, we have paid for consulting assistance from ClubMark for some planning assistance and attendance at two of our meetings. What progress has the committee made so far? Slosar: We began our meetings by dividing our large committee into three teams essential for studying the viability of a health club and pool: • Location Team This group explored all of the location options for the proposed facility including the ball fields, Richardson, Arroyo, and the Golf and Tennis Clubs. The conclusions drawn by the location team was that due to zoning restrictions the only viable location is the Tennis and Golf Campus. The “where” on this campus is still being worked out. • Facility Team This group worked on the scope of the facility which included researching amenities and membership options of 11 local clubs. We also visited some local clubs including Santaluz, The Crosby, The Bridges, Lomas, and Morgan Run to learn their best practices and over-

all club impressions. We also did a demographic analysis of the Covenant to better understand our demographic make-up in terms of age, family make-up and likely interest in fitness and pool facilities. • Financing Team The financing team is a work in progress reviewing order of magnitude of construction costs, operational pro formas and developing assumptions relative to potential member growth and capital requirements. It is currently expected that if the Covenant were to approve moving forward with the project that it would be funded via initiation fees, monthly dues and Community Enhancement Funds. We will not increase assessments to pay for this project. Any specifics yet as to what features the health club would entail? Or the pool (lap pool or more family-oriented)? Slosar: After much research and debate our committee has come up with recommendations for facility features, square footage estimates, and pool features. They include such items as fitness machines, locker rooms, yoga and many more. For a full list, see all of the possible amenities listed on the meeting notes posted on the Association website. Early in the fall, we will be proposing our conceptual design to all of our membership to get their input on our recommendations. What challenges/issues have arisen? Slosar: Location, location, location. While we have narrowed down the general location for the health club and pool our challenge is exactly where on the tennis and golf campus to build this. We want to propose the best location to create synergy with the existing buildings (Player’s Club, Golf Dining, Tennis Club), minimize noise and disruption to Tennis and Golf members and neighbors, maximize use of existing

“This plan is really a reflection of what we’re already doing in the district and we’re doing some great things as far as English language learners,” Superintendent Lindy Delaney said. “We provide for that population more than most districts do because we think it’s important.” Regarding the district’s 2014-2015 budget, Delaney said they are looking at revenues of $9.9 million, with expenditures of a little over

$10 million. The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation will also be contributing $1.3 million this year. Delaney said with the district’s deficit at $100,000, they feel like the budget is something they can work with and provide the students with everything they need and more programs, such as robotics and making the library more of a media center and hub for students. “The budget is in great shape,” Delaney said.

Speaking during public comment, RSF resident Lorraine Kent asked for the district to be more transparent, noting that not only is it important to get the information out to the public, more transparency can build enthusiasm and support for the district. “I think the LCAP is critical and I would’ve like to have had more than 20 hours to review it,” Kent said. Kent requested that the

dining facilities/kitchens/ bars, minimize staffing redundancies, and maximize member satisfaction. To help us understand these challenges and to choose the best location to drive increased membership growth for all of the athletic facilities we continue to engage club management, Club Mark and Kirk Mason, of Mason Architecture, the firm that designed Santaluz and many other clubs around the country. Are there any estimated costs? Slosar: It is a bit early to provide cost estimates as the exact location, size and actual amenities will all have a bearing on the cost. However, our proposed facility will most likely be in the range of 15,000 sq. ft and we have learned that a good estimate for construction of the facility is between $300 and $500 per square foot. The pool being constructed will represent about 10 percent of the overall project cost. What kind of money has been spent to date looking into this issue or has the effort been more volunteer-driven? Slosar: Because this is an exploratory committee we have been extremely careful spending our members’ money. Until we know that our members definitively want a health club and pool we are keeping our costs to a minimum. However, to create a credible process under the guidance of experienced consultants, some initial funds were approved by the board that would take us from concept to community meetings and vote. We are also fortunate to have many skilled volunteers in our community which has really kept our costs down. We have volunteer architects, builders, club planners, and experts in our community. Further, we have not utilized Association staff which is a cost oftentimes overlooked in the actual expenditures of committees. Because this is such an important project to ex-

plore, we have utilized the expertise of a country club consulting firm called ClubMark. We have spent under $10,000 to date and will not exceed the board-approved $40,000 to get this to a community vote. Additionally, we spent $8,000 on site plans of the existing Tennis Club. We did not have to spend on Golf Club plans as they were made available from the 2007 renovation. How will the community have the opportunity to weigh in on these plans? Slosar: September 2014: The Committee will host a series of community focus groups to allow full and complete transparency of the project to the community and to gain their invaluable feedback. Once completed, the consultants and Committee will review the community’s ideas and/ or concerns and follow with a Town Hall meeting to present the revised plan to the community. September/October 2014: A preliminary vote will be presented to the community to determine whether the program should proceed to architectural designs and hard financial calculations on construction and operating costs. If voted positively, the final calculations and plans would be developed, shared with the community and voted upon. January/February 2015: Final vote on building health club and pool. When is the next meeting? Slosar: As the Committee has laid out all of the groundwork for a conceptual design, we have wrapped up our formal meetings for the season. However, we do expect to have a late summer meeting to review the conceptual design and recommendations prior to focus groups and the town hall meeting. As always, this meeting will be open to the public with the date and time being posted.

LCAP be posted online as well as the budget and current audits. Delaney said that they had been discussing that option and it is a good idea — Delaney said that they will post both the LCAP, budget and audits from the past few years on the district website.

San Diego Film Festival shines with Short Film Screening Series

he San Diego Film Festival hosted the third screening of the VIP film series. On May 14, VIP Festival Pass holders and special guests came out to Arclight Cinemas in La Jolla to see two award-winning short films and participate in question and answer sessions with the directors, moderated by Vice President Tonya Mantooth. According to Dale Strack, chairman and CEO of the nonprofit San Diego Film Foundation that produces the San Diego Film Festival, this screening series provides VIP Festival Pass holders with an opportunity to experience films throughout the year and

builds momentum for the upcoming festival in September. “One of the ways we continue building an audience and a momentum beyond the Film Festival’s five days is to provide special events throughout the year. The two award-winning short-films we screened [recently] are a great example of the high-quality cinema we’ll feature during the Film Festival this September. And having both directors in attendance to take questions from the audience is what the full festival experience is all about,” said Strack. “The Bravest, The Boldest,” directed by Moon Mol-

Creedence Clearwater Revisited ready to rock County Fair

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ROB LEDONNE In July 1968, Creedence Clearwater Revival released its first album and instantly became an indelible part of the American music landscape. Since its first hit, “Susie Q,” the band has released a flurry of iconic songs that are still popular to this day. As a result of its continued popularity, Creedence Clearwater Revisited (a revival band that features some original members) still rocks out across the country to this day and, on June 19, the band brings its act to the San Diego County Fair. Stu Cook, the bassist for the original Creedence band and the new act, says that San Diego is “possibly one of the top places in California. This is our fifth or sixth time back in Del Mar, and we keep coming back because I like the venue in particular. Their lighting, sound, and stage is top notch. It’s also always great to see so many thousands of fans.” Cook, along with the rest of the band, hails from the San Francisco Bay Area, although you wouldn’t know it from Creedence’s music, which sounds like a product of the American south.

Creedence Clearwater Revisited. “We got tagged early day some band in America is on with the name ‘swamp playing one of our songs.” Creedence’s extensive rock,’” said Cook, speaking via telephone from his cur- smash hit discography is an rent home in Florida. “Un- impressive feat, considering fortunately, there aren’t many bands from the 1960s many swamps up in North- petered out after one or two ern California. I think the hits. For Creedence, songs reason why our music has such as “Down on the Corhad such great legs is that ner,” “Proud Mary,” “Born they’re just great songs — on the Bayou,” “Fortunate simple, direct, and fairly un- Son,” “Who’ll Stop the adorned. I’ll always know Rain,” and “Have You Ever that every Friday and Satur- Seen the Rain” have made a

Photo by Jeff Dow mark on popular music so distinct that they’re played just as much today as they were 40 years ago. “Out of all of the songs we’ve released, ‘Down on the Corner’ was the one I least expected to take off because it has such a calypso, Latin feel,” Cook says of Creedence’s eclectic catalog. “We have a rock and roll side, a country side, a blues side, and a Caribbean side.

It’s not straight-ahead rock and roll. It’s several different genres of music combining.” As popular as Creedence was (so far the band has sold 26 million albums, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, and is included in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the greatest artists of all time), the band initially found success difficult to come by. “We started out when we were young, and we finally took off after nine and a half years,” Cook said. “Until somebody took notice, there were a lot of disappointments and false starts. An overnight success is rarely such, and persistence is probably the most important talent you can have in show business. Talent alone won’t bring you success.” Fortunately, Creedence band members had an equal share of talent and persistence — both of which were rooted in their sheer passion for performing. “I still like playing all of our tracks,” Cook says. “That’s the whole idea behind the Revisited project.” Besides Cook, the Revisited band includes original drummer Doug “Cosmo”

Clifford (former Creedence singer John Fogerty has long toured as a solo artist). Cook and Clifford launched the Revisited act in 1995 on a lark in order to only play private parties. However, due to an immense amount of interest from both new and old fans, the band started touring and now books about 100 dates a year. The Revisited band even released a two-disc live album in 1998 dubbed “Recollections,” and Cook couldn’t be happier to still be rocking out night after night. “I’m used to the idea of going out on the stage and having a good time,” he said. “Performing is about getting your head in the right place, and that place is ‘let’s go have some fun.’ When we leave the dressing room and head to the stage, we’re ready to go.” Creedence Clearwater Revisited will perform at the San Diego County Fair (Heineken Grandstand Stage) on Thursday, June 19, at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free with fair admission. A dinner package is available. For more information, visit www.sdfair.com/grandstand.

Flavors of Mexico served in style at El Agave BY KELLEY CARLSON uilding upon the success of El Agave in Old Town, owner Juan Carlos Gomez decided to take a shot with another location in Del Mar. Located in a 6,000-square-foot space in Del Mar Plaza, the newest El Agave boasts ocean-view dining, colorful mosaic art and rustic décor, along with Mexican cuisine from the country’s southernmost regions. “Many guests would travel from North County to the Old Town location. It’s our turn to come to them,” Gomez said in a news release. El Agave’s arrival in North County was welcomed news for tequila aficionados. The Del Mar site carries about 700 varieties, including the restaurant’s own awardwinning Tequila El Agave Artesenal, made from 100 percent blue agave in Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico. With such a wide selection, patrons have the flexibility of choosing something to swirl and sip, or for quickly imbibing in a shot (or two). Or they can savor the flavors in a Cointreau Perfect Margarita or a dessert-like drink, such as the Meha Tequila Cocktail, a blend of pineapple and coconut juices,

Mole Poblano Don Julio consists of boneless chicken breast covered in a sauce of asilla, ancho and mulato chiles, tomatillo, clove, black pepper, chocolate, garlic, cinnamon, coriander seed and sesame seed.

Dessert choices include flan with cajeta, strawberries and whipped cream.

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:

El Agave’s Mole Rosa (Pink Mole) chocolate-infused tequila and whipped cream. Tequila can be found in some of the entrees, too, such as the Camaron al Tequilana (Tequila Shrimp). But El Agave isn’t only about tequila; guests can feast on dishes prepared by Executive Chef Mario Montes, who hails from Mexico City. He creates bold, authentic flavors through spices unique to regions such as Oaxaca, Yucatan, Puebla and Central Mexico. Montes also uses cuitlacoche (corn fungus) in many dishes, which is considered a delicacy in Mexico. Among them: the Tlacoyos Cuitlacoche, composed of blue corn masa (tortilla dough) stuffed with black beans and cuitlacoche, salsa verde, queso fresco, cilantro and onion. Another restaurant specialty is the mole sauces, made from chile peppers. There are a half-dozen types, all made from scratch, “just like my grandmother used to make,” General Manager Gerardo Gonzalez said. “If you try the mole, you will fall in love with it,” he predicted. One of El Agave’s signature dishes is the Mole Poblano Don Julio with boneless chicken breast covered in a spicy reddishbrown sauce that’s composed of asilla, ancho and mulato chiles, along with tomatillo, clove, black pepper, chocolate, garlic, cinnamon, coriander seed and sesame seed. The majority of El Agave’s menu centers around seafood and meats, although there are some vegetarian items. A favorite is the Sea Bass Ajo y Achiote, featuring tender fish in a garlic-chipotle chile sauce with a bit of a kick, on a bed of mashed potatoes, and served with vegetables such as carrots and asparagus. Filet mignon is used in all the steak dishes, including the Filete Agave, in which the meat is filled with goat cheese and served with dark tequila sauce. Customers can top off their meals with a treat such as flan with cajeta (a silky caramel-like concoction made of goat milk), strawberries and whipped cream.

Re-hasht takes unique fashion approach to up-cycling

BY KAREN BILLING Re-hasht has moved into Flower Hill Promenade’s Row Collective, a store that sells one-of-a-kind wearable art; worn fabric is up-cycled and lovingly stitched into new pieces. The store, owned by the mother-daughter team of Mimi Roles and Shawn Sarquilla, opened two weeks ago. “We are like old-time shopkeepers,” said Sarquilla, reflecting on how like many other Row shops, artists are not only selling their wares but using their store as a workspace too. Inside Re-hasht, fabric scraps litter the table tops as the two work on new pieces. They share a space with Studio Penny Lane, which moved across the courtyard to make room for new record shop M-Theory Music, and, on some days, the pounding on metal inside Penny Lane is accompanied by the whirring of Rehasht’s sewing machines. As they launch their new store, the two split time between their shop and working in cafes — Roles is at Claire’s on Cedros and Sarquilla works at Snooze in Hillcrest.

Sarquilla had always played around with cutting and tying t-shirts but Roles has been a sewer all her life. Sarquilla said Roles is the true artist of the pair as she is also a painter. “I’ve always been a cheerleader of artists, I didn’t realize I was one until several years ago,” Sarquilla said. Mother and daughter got an itch to start working together on wearable art so they poured through craft books and began “scheming” about potential projects. They started with the shrug, perfect for San Diego weather — just sleeves, not too heavy like a full coat, and not too big that it covers up a cute ensemble. “I was really impressed by Shawn because she took to it quite naturally,” Roles said of her daughter’s creativity and clever ideas on how to make garments work. The first shrug they made was out of a dark blue cable knit sweater — Sarquilla added a flower made out of a t-shirt to the back and Roles added a trim. The shrug became their signature piece and they started selling their looks at

Re-hasht owners Mimi Roles and Shawn Sarquilla trunk shows and in pop-up shops, but got a tip about Flower Hill’s Row Collective from Penny Lane’s Laurie Libman-Wilson, a longtime

friend of Sarquilla’s. Sarquilla and Roles said they feel they fit in well with the Row and have already enjoyed collaborating

with their neighbors — last week staying open late along with other stores as A Ship in The Woods hosted live music in the Row’s cozy plaza. “I love the idea and the space, I’m excited for the traffic to pick up and for it to be more well-known,” Sarquilla said. In keeping with the theme of finding new life for old things, all of the furniture within their shop is vintage and reclaimed marine wood serves as decoration on the walls, the wood naturally stained by salt. The pair have become fabric hunters and are constantly on the lookout for materials to use. In addition to their signature shrug, they have branched out to include long “kimonos,” skirts, pants, fingerless gloves, legwarmers and pocket belts. The pocket belts have sold very well — Re-hasht’s twist on a fanny pack, salvaged pockets affixed onto fabric that snaps or buckles around the waist. Each garment has a quote sewn onto it that serves as Re-hasht’s tags — they use vintage t-shirts and have quotes screen-printed

on.

“Always make new mistakes,” reads one quote from Esther Dyson. Sarquilla said they hope someday to get into custom pieces with customer clothing —clothes that are loved and cherished but may not fit the way they used to or are falling apart that they can give new life to. They also hope to start working with leather. With Re-hasht, they hope to promote an ongoing effort to recycle, upcycle and re-purpose as a way of life for everyone. “I love the thought process,” Roles said. “I want to encourage everyone to look at things they don’t use anymore and ask ‘Are they reusable in another shape and form?’ It’s an interesting way to look at things.” Re-hasht will have a grand opening event with Penny Lane on Saturday, June 7, at 7 p.m. Reservations are welcome at rowcollectiveevents@gmail.com.

Former pilot learned special skills to teach children to swim — and love the water BY KAREN BILLING Local resident John Silverman is teaching children to learn to love the water with Triton Tykes, his new swimming lesson business. In business for just a few months, Silverman uses a trusted, guaranteed method based on trust, discipline and continuity. “It’s very powerful when you get a child who was screaming and holding onto you for dear life and three days later, they’re loving swimming,” Silverman said. “There’s going to be hollering but just give me a few days and you’ll think I’m the greatest guy you’ve ever met.” Silverman comes to the water from the air — he is a former pilot. He spent six-and-a-half years in the Air Force and then flew commercial airlines for US Airways for 36 years, retiring in 2013. Growing up in South Florida, Silverman swam on his high school swim team and was a lifeguard at the ocean and at pools. He taught swim lessons when he was in his 20s but never really used or knew a proven method. Silverman decided to get into the business of teaching swimming lessons after witnessing the remarkable progress of his then 10-month-

old grandson, Owen, who lives in Atlanta. A year ago, his daughter sent video of Owen’s swimming lessons. “On day one, Owen was screaming bloody murder. But on day three he was happier than a clam and I was amazed,” Silverman said. The difference-maker in Owen’s love of swimming was in the teacher and his techniques — “Coach Tom” Bradbury, an instructor who is 81 years old and has been teaching for 57 years, teaching tens of thousands of other children just like Owen how to swim. Silverman was so impressed that he asked if Coach Tom would share his skills; in March this year Silverman went to Atlanta to spend a month learning his techniques and shadowing him as they trained 90 children how to swim. The method is not blowing bubbles and playing patty cake — Silverman said it’s 95 percent child psychology as, for whatever reason, little ones are often hesitant to get in the water. “The child’s way of objecting or manipulating is through crying. I don’t even listen to the crying,” Silverman said. “You have to power through the objections and the resistance of the child and that’s what parents

are not very good at doing.” Silverman said when a child cries, he will ask the child to rest on his shoulder and then proceed with the lesson. “By day three or four the crying is over and the kids are happy,” Silverman said. “It’s almost like a switch is thrown.” Silverman’s method is seven consecutive days of short lessons taught in a warm pool, heated to 92 degrees. The last two days he gets the parents into the pool, as well, to teach them how to work in the water with their child. He loves the success stories — of parents so happy with the results and of kids who, after five days, don’t even have to be told to swim to him, he just puts his palms up on the water’s surface and they launch. It’s a pleasure to be able to teach a child a life skill, according to Silverman. “It’s probably the most gratifying thing I’ve ever done,” Silverman said. Silverman gives lessons to children at a minimum age of 19 months and comes to clients’ home pools for lessons. For pricing or more information, visit tritontykes. com

Local resident John Silverman has started Triton Tykes, offering a guaranteed method of swim lessons for children.

TVIA SD1 Chapter closes 2014 season with Sudanese, looks forward to New Year and events The SD1 Chapter of Teen Volunteers In Action held its final event of this season with the Sudanese American Youth Center of San Diego at a “Get Ready For Summer Picnic” that involved food, basketball, crafts and playground games. Held at the Colina del Sol Recreation Center in San Diego, there were plenty of things to do including decorating beach bags that the SAYCSD members will use all summer long. The SAYCSD is a nonprofit organization which focuses on mentoring and empowering Sudanese youth on how to become successful in the United States, without losing their Sudanese cultural identity and values. Partnering with the teens from TVIA seemed like a natural fit and the teen boys of TVIA held three events this year to exchange friendship and cultural experiences. Annie Johnson, TVIA SD1 president for 2014-2015 is looking forward to another year of volunteering with this lively group of Sudanese children and teens. “We already have events and dates lined up for more bowling, ‘Minute To Win It’ style game day, and another summer party.” Johnson also reflected on becoming president for the year ahead. “I am excited to begin another rewarding year in TVIA. Personally, I am proud to be part of this wonderful group of families. I know I have very big shoes to fill in my new position. However, TVIA is successful because of the dedication of our board members and teen volunteers so I have no doubt that we will achieve our philanthropic goals next year. TVIA SD1 is thrilled to be expanding with the forming of the SD4 Chapter. We can look confidently to the future due to the excellent support and leadership with the newly created National Board of TVIA.” For more information go to www.tvia.org

Sustainable Swimming Pools for Summer San Diego experienced quite a heat wave in the month of May. Many of you probably found some relief by diving into your swimming pools. Living in San Diego, we don’t have to wait for a heat wave—or even summer— to enjoy our pools. Our world famous weather allows us to dive in all year long. With advancements in pool sustainability, we can enjoy our pools while reducing the impact on the environment, our pocket books, and our bathing suits. Solar heating: A solar heating system can

raise your pool temperature 5 to 15 degrees over a few days of good weather, which in San Diego is almost every day. Although there is the initial installation price, an investment in a solar heating system pays for itself in 2 to 3 years and can be expected to last 20-25 years. Energy efficient pool pumps: Energy efficient (variable speed) pumps use lower speeds to increase efficiency. They also move the water more efficiently, which can reduce chemical treatments and pool cleaning. Variable speed pumps are also much quieter which can enhance your pool relaxation experience. Salt systems: Salt water systems create chlorine by splitting the salt molecule into sodium and chloride. This sterilizes the pool water which helps prevent the growth of algae. Salt water pools are less harsh on the skin than traditional chlorine pools, easier on your eyes, and easier on your bathing suits. Converting your pool to a salt system costs $1,500-$2,000 and uses approximately

$15 worth of high quality salt a year. Other eco-friendly pool systems are UV and ionic. Pool Cover: Pool covers can dramatically reduce water evaporation so you won’t have to refill your pool as often. Pool covers also reduce the amount of chemicals needed to keep the water clear. A solar pool cover will contribute to the heating your pool during the day and reduce the loss of heat during the night, which helps save both the environment and money. LED pool lights: LED (light emitting diode) light fixtures use over 80 percent less energy than conventional incandescent light fixtures. They also have a much longer life so you probably will not need to replace them until your pool is remodeled. Today there are so many color options that allow you to create the perfect pool ambiance. Surrounding landscape: Remove or prune any plant material that may drop leaves into the pool in order to reduce the amount of chemicals needed to maintain balanced

water chemistry. This will also decrease the need for cleaning the skimmer basket and pool ﬁlter. Size: If you are building a new pool, one way to make it eco-friendly is to make it as small and shallow as possible to decrease water, chemical and energy consumption. Exercise: If you use your pool for exercise, add an Endless Pools Fastlane so you can swim or resistance train in pools as small as 12 feet. The variable speeds allow you to swim without turning. An Endless Pool underwater treadmill provides an alternative exercise option. Whether you’re converting your traditional chlorine swimming pool to a sustainable pool or installing a new one, Nature Designs can help with all the details – including creating a landscaping design that will turn your backyard into a personal oasis. For more information about our company and services, visit our website at NatureDesigns. Net or give us a call at (760) 945-4321.

Caring collaboration

BY SCOTT M. LIPPMAN Many people in our community grieved the loss of San Diego Hospice, which ceased operations in February. It was a large and vital center for the treatment and care of terminally ill patients. But San Diego Hospice served other critical needs as well. It hosted, for example, the largest training program in the country for the extraordinary men and women who seek to become palliative medicine clinicians, doctors specialized in relieving and preventing the suffering of patients. The hospice trained as many as 12 palliative medicine clinicians each year, an astounding 5 percent of the national total. It was the only program of its type in San Diego. Part of palliative care is hospice care, but palliative medicine clinicians also use their holistic and team approach to support patients undergoing curative therapies. This enables patients to better tolerate their treatments and to achieve better outcomes while maintaining independence and control. Unlike hospice, people do not have to choose between comfort and cure to receive this care. While this care is not limited to cancer patients, as an oncologist I see these benefits when my patients visit the Doris Howell Palliative Consultation Service at UCSD. The service is named after Dr. Doris Howell, a be-

Dr. Scott Lippman loved doctor in San Diego who launched palliative and hospice care in our community. Her picture is prominently displayed on the second floor of the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. The palliative care service helps my patients who have issues like pain, shortness of breath or nausea. Treating these symptoms allows patients to better tolerate necessary chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery. Similarly, cardiologists believe palliative care helps heart failure patients tolerate needed therapies. This is true for many other specialties as well. In addition, integration of palliative care helps patients and families to better handle the diverse stresses of serious illness. UC San Diego and Scripps Health have long recognized the value of this care. They have been partners in the San Diego Hospice training program for

many years. Both organizations are committed to bringing back this important program to help address the current and projected shortages of palliative medicine clinicians, locally and nationally. Gary Buckholz, M.D. led the training program at San Diego Hospice and is now at UC San Diego, where he is an associate clinical professor at Moores Cancer Center and part of the Doris Howell Palliative Consultation Service in La Jolla and Hillcrest. He is working with Dr. Holly Yang at Scripps Health, as well as leaders of both organizations, to rebuild a world-class palliative care training program. In this, he has the unqualified backing of Doris Howell, who recently told me â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe deeply that cooperation and collaboration of like-believers can greatly enhance the contribution to the community at large. Historically collaboration has been an extremely important part of building palliative care in the community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much needed and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled that this effort will continue and the training program will be revived.â&#x20AC;? Buckholz believes such collaboration creates the opportunity to rebuild a training program second to none. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scripps Health has started a hospice program and plans to re-open the hospice inpatient facility in Hillcrest. Trainees will have the opportunity to work with national-

ly recognized faculty from both UC San Diego and Scripps in inpatient, outpatient and homecare settings. More importantly, patients will have better access to palliative care.â&#x20AC;? Historically the federal government via Medicare has funded doctor-training programs. The new program, however, will not receive government funds because it is a relatively new specialty, officially recognized just eight years ago. It and other programs like it depend upon philanthropy to succeed. In the past, the program has benefited from generous support from Audrey Geisel, Daniel and Violet McKinney, Richard and Kaye Woltman, the Donald C. and Elizabeth M. Dickinson Foundation, and the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation, among many others. Just as we all need basic and specialized medical assistance when we are hurt, sick or ailing, there is a need for the benefits of palliative treatment offered by this collaboration. When you or a loved one is confronting serious illness, you want â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and deserve â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the best care possible. That includes integrated palliative care. Scott M. Lippman, MD, is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in the La Jolla Light the fourth Thursday of each month. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dirlippman@ucsd.edu.

Cathedral Canyon High School students showcase their art BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Guadalupe Center at Cathedral Catholic High School was recently transformed into an art gallery for the school’s annual Student Art Show May 19-24. The school’s 375 art students all had at least one piece in the show. “It’s an important part for any artist to show their work to the community and get a feel for how others see it,” said art teacher Silvia Wiedmann, who helped launch the show when she started at the school 15 years ago. At that time, the school was called the University of San Diego High School. The school was renamed and relocated to 5555 Del Mar Heights Road in 2005. Inspired by Spaceship Earth, the geodesic sphere at Walt Disney World’s Epcot theme park, senior Alexander Krikes constructed a geodesic half-dome out of paper called “Age of Discovery.” “It’s very rewarding,” Alexander said. “It’s really nice to sit back and watch people experience your piece.” Senior Anna Horne had three pieces on display, one of which was later sent to the fairgrounds. About 50 of the pieces were entered into the Student Showcase at the San Diego County Fair. Anna created paper flames, as well as a wire and plaster sculpture of a man playing a flute. The piece that she entered in the fair

was her independent project — a wire and paper replica of the enchanted red rose from the “Beauty and the Beast.” In her second year in the school’s art program, sophomore Belle Hilton had several drawings and paintings on display. “It’s neat to show your parents and grandparents, as well as your friends what you’ve been working on,” Belle said. Senior Megan Gless also had five drawings and paintings in the show. “It’s an opportunity to express yourself,” said Megan, who has taken art classes for two years. “It gives you an opportunity to show who you are, be creative and really learn about yourself.” Placing an emphasis on the arts, Cathedral Catholic is currently expanding its program. This year, the school launched its foundations course, an introductory visual arts class. “It’s important because art is everywhere,” said Alyssa Vallecorsa, who specializes in 3-D art and has taught art at the school for two years. “I think everybody needs to be exposed to art. It makes for a well-rounded person.” For more information about Cathedral Catholic, visit www.cathedralcatholic.org. For photos online, visit www. delmartimes.net. PHOTOS/KRISTINA HOUCK

To Your Health: Know All the facts before having a hysterectomy BY BRAD SILVERMAN, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH One of the complaints gynecologists hear most often from their patients concerns abnormal bleeding, such as very heavy bleeding during menstruation or bleeding between menstrual periods. While this can occasionally be a symptom of uterine cancer, the most common cause is a uterine fibroid, which is a non-cancerous tumor that grows from the muscular wall of the uterus. Many women have symptomless fibroids that don’t require treatment, but if a fibroid causes bleeding or other problems, it should be removed. The conventional treatment for symptomatic fibroids is hysterectomy, or removal of the uterus. Hysterectomy used to require an open surgery with a large abdominal incision, but in many cases, it can now be performed laparoscopically. This is a minimally invasive process which requires a few smaller incisions rather than one large incision; when performed by a skilled laparoscopic surgeon, it can offer benefits including less pain and bleeding, fewer risks of complications, a shorter hospital stay, and faster return to activities. One consideration in determining whether a woman is a good candidate for laparoscopic hysterectomy is the size of her uterus and how it can be removed from the body following surgery. Because the incisions are small, a large uterus might not fit through them. Vaginal removal may be one option; another may be to place the uterus into a bag and reduce it to smaller pieces that can be taken out through the incision. However, not all surgeons are skilled in these techniques. Another option is to use a device called a power morcellator, which is a metal tube that is sharpened on the end and has a grasper. It is inserted through the incision, where it cuts into the uterus and pulls out whatever is being extracted. As this happens, microscopic fragments of the tissue may break off and be spread throughout the abdomen. If the fibroid is benign, as most are, this is not a serious problem. However,

if what is thought to be just a benign fibroid is actually a cancerous uterine tumor (sarcoma) that has not been diagnosed, morcellation can potentially spread the cancer throughout the abdomen. Although uterine sarcomas are very rare, they are highly malignant and, despite appearing to be confined to just the uterus, metastasize very quickly and may have already begun to spread in some patients. Morcellation could speed up this process and spread cancerous cells faster. Why not test for malignant uterine tumors before using the morcellator? Unfortunately, there is no reliable test available. They are most commonly diagnosed when a woman has surgery for a preoperative diagnosis of fibroids. Due to the possibility of spreading cancerous cells, the FDA recently issued a warning about the use of morcellators in hysterectomies, and is debating whether they should be banned. It is important to consider, though, that morcellation makes minimally invasive surgery possible for a significant group of women with large uteri who otherwise would undergo open surgery and its associated risks and drawbacks. In contrast, there is a very small group of women in whom morcellation is a disastrous outcome. What is the right answer? In this case, the right answer seems to be to ensure that every woman is able to see a surgeon who can explain all of the options to her, so that she understands the benefits and risks and can make a personal choice. It seems unacceptable to tell patients that they can’t have the opportunity to decide for themselves. We need to guarantee that patients understand the risks they are assuming in order to make an informed decision.
