Water District to impose water-use restrictions starting Sept. 5

BY JOE TASH Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District — including residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and part of Fairbanks Ranch — will face mandatory restrictions on water use starting Sept. 5, in an effort to save water because of an ongoing statewide drought.

The restrictions include a three-day-per-week watering schedule for all homes and businesses, a prohibition on watering for more than 10 minutes unless certain water-saving devices are in place, and a ban on watering between 8 a.m. and 6 See WATER, page 28

RSF School District hears Common Core concerns SDUHSD to create committee on high school selection process

BY KAREN BILLING This 2014-15 school year is the year when schools across the country will adopt the new Common Core State Standards, but at least one Rancho Santa Fe School District parent is asking, “Why do we have to do what everybody else does?”

Parent Ann Golden approached the school board at its Aug. 21 meeting to start a discussion about why the district has to change its “well-implemented, established” curriculum, which has worked, to the new Common Core and whether it really is the best thing for students.

“We’re a one-school district, which allows us to be very unique and independent,” Golden said. “Adopting Common Core held us back and slowed us down. We didn’t meet some of our benchmarks last year.”

Golden suggested the district look at the top-performing schools, both private and public, and see what they are doing. She said the district needs to demand the toughest curriculum available and the school should be No. 1 in the county.

“Let’s do what’s best for kids and make our standard really high, even higher than Common Core,” Golden said.

RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said she sent a letter home to parents this week as the district is looking to

discuss these types of issues in a forum setting.

Board trustee Todd Frank said they consider the standards to be “just the entry point”— he said they want to educate and prepare students the best they can, regardless of what another organization is telling them to do.

“We demand that they (district teachers) teach beyond the standards,” said trustee Marti Ritto.

Parent meetings have been scheduled to discuss the standards of the math and English Language Arts curriculum: • Sept. 23 at 8:05 a.m. K-5 mathematics curriculum overview and Q & A for parents and K-5 mathematics classroom visits led by Principal Kim Pinkerton and mathematics specialist Phyllis Slotnick • Sept. 30 at 8:05 a.m. 6-8 mathematics curriculum overview and Q & A for parents and 6-8 mathematics classroom visits led by Principal Garrett Corduan and mathematics specialist Lori Edwards • Oct. 14 at 8:05 a.m. K-5 ELA curriculum overview and Q & A for parents and K-5 ELA classroom visits led by Principal Pinkerton and ELA specialist, Lindsey Conley • Oct. 21 at 8:05 a.m. 6-8 ELA curriculum overview and Q & A for parents and 6-8 ELA classroom visits led by Principal Garrett Corduan and ELA specialist Darcy Gleisberg

BY KAREN BILLING A new committee on San Dieguito Union High School District’s school selection process will be formed this fall, in response to frustrations expressed by parents this summer when students didn’t get into their school of choice.

The district made the decision this year to admit all freshmen on the wait lists for Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito High School Academy, and both schools are at capacity. But there is still much work to be done for future years, according to Michael Grove, associate superintendent.

“We want to begin work as early as we can in the fall and have a recommendation to the board by winter break,” he said.

Grove said they plan to start soliciting parent and student members soon for the committee to get to work on long-term issues. He said the committee would look at demographics and enrollment projections and discuss options for high school enrollment such as the creation of boundaries.

Grove said the committee would then be tasked to educate the community about viable options before seeking input about what options the community likes through surveys and face-to-face dialogues. The group will then make a recommendation to the board.

“We’d like to use a neutral third-party facilitator to run the group and have staff participate as members,” Grove said.

RSF School robotics program gets new funding Principals take on additional duties at RSF School

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District is making its school’s robotics program more robust this year, allocating $42,500 in stipends to staff coaches just as the district does for its athletics program. “I think the program has taken a big step,� said Superintendent Lindy Delaney. “I think we’re on our way toward developing a great program there.�

John Galipault will be coordinating the FIRST LEGO League Robotics program for first through sixth grades, and Dave Warner will be heading up the FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics program for seventh- and eighth-graders.

Coaches will be paid $4,000 to $5,000 a year for after-school and weekend practices.

Robotics parent informational meetings will be held the first few weeks of school: • Aug. 28 at 3:15 p.m. for grades 5-7, 5 p.m. for grades 7-8 • Sept. 3 at 3:15 p.m. for grade 4 • Sept. 4 at 3:15 p.m. for grades 1-3

TPHS parents rally for return of terminated athletic trainer

BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School parents are rallying for the return of their athletic trainer Christina Scherr. “We believe that the decision to let our athletic trainer go was unjust, unfair and biased and we believe the Torrey Pines community will continue to fight to rehire Christina,� said Carrie Pickwell, a member of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation Board of Directors, one of several parents who attended the Aug. 21 San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board meeting to ask for Scherr’s reinstatement.

SDUHSD contracts out with Sorrento Valley’s Rehab United for its athletic trainer program and Scherr, a Rehab United employee, was fired by the company in mid-July for undisclosed reasons, according to SDUHSD Associate Superintendent Eric Dill. “The goal was to continue services with that provider but that didn’t happen, not for a lack of trying,� said Dill.

Dill met with Falcon parents last week and he said the point was made “loud and clear� what the will of the parents is. Board members also reported being inundated with emails from parents last week asking for Scherr’s reinstatement. “We all received many emails and are very well aware how valued she is at Torrey Pines High School,� said Joyce Dalessandro, school board president.

Dill was expected to meet with Rehab United this week regarding Scherr. “Our job is to find solutions, do the hard work and make this happen,� Dill said.

Scherr has been with the school for eight years. “She is highly trained and respected all over San Diego County. When she’s on the field, other trainers step aside and let her do her job,� said Pickwell. “She has a real passion

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District has made some moves to replace Cindy Schaub, the assistant superintendent of educational services who left for a new position in the South Bay Union School District earlier this month.

RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said that principals Kim Pinkerton and Garrett Corduan have stepped up with some new responsibilities, the board approving salaries with new stipends at its Aug. 21 meeting.

Both principals will now receive an annual salary of $135,000 each.

Additionally, the district has hired a math coach and literacy support teachers to help fill the role Schaub performed.

Delaney said that while the changes will help the district continue to move in a great direction, Schaub will be missed. “She took our curriculum a long way in the last eight years,� Delaney said. “We wish her the best of luck; it’s definitely different not having her here.�

Schaub is already at work in her new district, but Delaney said they plan to invite her back in the coming month for the staff to recognize and thank her for her service.

RSF School District eyes energy-efficiency use of Prop. 39 funds

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District will receive $250,000 over the next five years from Proposition 39, the Clean Energy Jobs Act. At the Aug. 21 board meeting, Superintendent Lindy Delaney discussed possible ways to use the funding, and the district architects are expected to make presentations on two proposed projects at the school board’s Sept. 11 meeting.

Prop. 39, approved by voters in November 2012, makes up to $550 million available annually to K-6 public schools, county offices of education and charter schools for energy-efficient projects and job creation.

The allocation is based on average daily attendance and the number of students eligible for the free and reduced-price lunch program. School districts request funding by submitting projects and an energy expenditure plan to the California Energy Commission for approval.

Delaney said the district has worked with SDG&E to develop potential projects, narrowing them down to a chiller (system that produces chilled water to cool air) and to redoing the energy efficiency and lighting in the 400 building, one of the older buildings on campus.

for the students and puts their needs ahead of the game and the score.�

Parent Karla Milmoe echoed the fact that Scherr puts the kids’ safety first and foremost. “The reason she’s so effective with kids is her interpersonal skills. She reaches out to the kids and makes connections‌they trust her,â€? Milmoe said. “She has a rapport with students that you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else.â€?

Adam Camacho returns as Earl Warren Middle School principal

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A new principal greeted Earl Warren Middle School students when they went back to school Aug. 26.

Although Adam Camacho is a new face to his students, he is a familiar face to many of his staff. He previously worked as Earl Warren’s counselor for four years before becoming Carmel Valley Middle School’s assistant principal.

“I’m glad to be back home,” he said.

This is his 15th year in education and his fifth year in administration.

Camacho began his career with a degree in criminal justice administration, serving in law enforcement, and then earned his master’s degree in counseling. He worked for San Diego County’s Juvenile Probation Department for more than two years, or as he said, “long enough to figure it out.”

“The experience helped me realize I was just, to be frank, on the wrong side of the equation,” said Camacho, who also holds counseling and administrative services credentials. “I wanted to be on the preventative, proactive side, as opposed to the responsive side of working with juveniles.

Education was a natural transition for me.”

Camacho started with the San Dieguito Union High School District in 2000. He worked as a counselor at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad before coming to Earl Warren in 2006. While at the Solana Beach middle school, Camacho realized middle school was a perfect fit.

“This age group is so impressionable, vulnerable. It’s all about identity, wanting to please their peers,” Camacho said. “I want kids to come here and have a great two years.

Every year, we have 50 percent turnover. Our job, at the middle school age, is to prepare kids for the high school experience, both academically and socially. Our job is to create an environment where they can come and feel emotionally safe, secure, respected and valued, where they have every opportunity to take advantage of the wonderful curricular programs we have.”

Camacho also discovered his desire to become an administrator within the district.

“I wanted to nurture student achievement and focus on

He said he believes his counseling background and administrative experience have prepared him well to lead Earl Warren, a position he began on July 1.

“I enjoy serving our learning community — the kids, the families,” said Camacho, adding that his mother worked for Head Start when he was growing up in Oceano, a community near Pismo Beach in San Luis Obispo County. The program provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families.

“That commitment and passion for people — that servitude — that’s what I’m grounded in. That’s what I love See PRINCIPAL, page 29

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board has come out against the cap on school district reserves proposed by new legislation in the state. On Aug. 21, the board approved the adoption of a resolution in opposition to the local reserves cap, part of the Proposition 98 Rainy Day Fund.

Proposition 2 will go out to voters on the November ballot. If it passes and the state’s Rainy Day Fund is established, as soon as even a dime is dropped into the fund, school districts will be required to spend down the reserves.

Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, said this could have a negative impact on the district.

“Boards are opposing the reserve cap up and down the state,” said Dill, who drafted the resolution approved by the board. “The education community doesn’t want to let it drop …we want school boards to have control of their own financial solvency and management in good times and bad.”

In June, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law SB 858, the education budget trailer bill that requires districts to spend reserve balances down to no more than two to three times the minimum level of statutory reserve for economic uncertainties.

In SDUHSD’s case, its reserves could not be more than 6 percent of its total general fund expenditures. The statutory minimum for school district reserves is 3 percent, less than 20 days of total cash flow.

“We wouldn’t be able to cover our payroll,” Dill said of the 3 percent level.

Dill said SDUHSD maintains a reserve of about 12 percent, and the reserve cap would severely limit the district’s ability to respond to future economic downturns.

The resolution states the district’s belief that prudently setting aside money for economic uncertainties is good financial planning.

Chocolate sets the scene for local writer’s new mysteries

BY SAMANTHA TATRO Author Kathleen Krevat wakes up every day before the crack of dawn at 5 a.m., sits down at her desk, and starts writing.

“I love how quiet it is, before the neighborhood is stirring,” Krevat said. “I love the promise of a new day.”

While everyone else is finishing up a night’s sleep, Krevat, a local resident, is already typing away on her computer. Krevat, whose upcoming book, “Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates,” hits bookstores Sept. 2, says waking up early developed naturally and then became a habit.

“My energy is best in the morning, as well as my ability to focus and get into a rhythm,” Krevat said. “Writing at the same time makes it easier to settle down and get into the book the next day without spending too much time figuring out where I was in the story.”

In “Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates,” chocolatier Michelle Serrano and bookstore owner Erica Russell work together to discover who murdered the town photographer. Krevat wrote the book under a pen name, Kathy Aarons, and is the first in the Chocolate Covered Mystery series by Berkley Prime Crime, an imprint of Penguin Random House. The book will be available Sept. 2.

Though she’s been writing on and off for 10 years, the hardest part for Krevat was writing the book in the time her contract gave her: one year.

“Writing every day makes it a lot easier to continue writing,” she said. “Right up at deadline, I was writing Kathleen Krevat for 12 to 15 hours a day.”

The best part, however, was doing all the delicious research. Krevat spent a lot of time with Isabella Knack, the owner of Dallmann Fine Chocolates, while researching. Knack gave Krevat chocolate classes and answered questions about what it was like being a chocolatier and running a chocolate shop. Annette Palmer, co-owner of the now-closed Earth Song Books and Gifts, answered questions about being a bookstore owner.

“Both of these owners feel like they are doing more than just selling,” Krevat said.

“They are selling little gifts of happiness, and that’s what I tried to portray in my book.”

The newly published author received her very first copies of the book last week. When she got home one afternoon, a medium-sized box was sitting on her doorstep.

“It was thrilling,” Krevat said. “My daughter was home, so I got to share it with somebody. We saw the box on the porch and I said, ‘I know what that is!’”

But Krevat did not grow up dreaming of becoming an author. She grew up in rural

Pennsylvania and read what books were around as a kid. It wasn’t until college that she considered it a potential career path.

“I liked writing, but at the time I didn’t think of it as a career,” Krevat said of her youth. “When I went to college, I had a lot of writing classes, so I knew I wanted to get into some writing.”

She went into marketing and public relations and worked in New York City after college. After several years, she moved to San Diego with her husband, where she had two daughters. Once they went to school, she immediately became involved in the arts, becoming a self-declared super-mom.

She was PTA president and the Reflections Arts chairwoman, school foundation fundraiser, student newsletter editor and more at local elementary schools. She handled publicity and created costumes for J*Company and the Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theater programs, in addition to assisting with the Canyon Crest Academy Writers Conference. She recently joined the board of Playwrights Project, too.

Krevat started writing as a hobby when her daughter went off to preschool, but didn’t take it seriously for many years.

She spent a lot of that time working with the San Diego chapter of Romance Writers of America, who helped motivate her. She joined the chapter back when she first started writing. The first year she joined, the chapter offered workshops on all the writing basics: plot, dialogue, outlining.

“I was writing everything down because I hadn’t heard so much of it, and I was looking around and I was the only one writing stuff down,” Krevat said. “I was like, ‘What?

This is good stuff, why aren’t they writing it down?’ but it’s because once you belong for a while, you’ve heard a lot of it before.”

When she started, she would attend conferences eagerly. “Anytime I went to workshops, I would most likely buy the book,” Krevat said. “I have every writing prep book.”

She would spend years mastering those skills before taking a year or so to casually submit proposals. If she didn’t hear back, she would start “diving back into her writing hole again.”

“When I took it seriously, it paid off,” she said of the story behind her first contract. Her agent on Twitter opened up submissions for just a weekend. Krevat jumped on the opportunity and submitted to her — and the agent gave her a call.

“I haven’t had free time since the contract,” Krevat said with a warm smile. “Writing used to be my hobby, but now it’s my job.”

Krevat may be exceptionally busy at the moment — she’s writing the third book, receiving edits for her second book, working on marketing for her first book and sending her daughter off to college, all at the same time — but she shows no signs of feeling overwhelmed.

“I’m still new to all of this. I’m not tired of it yet,” Krevat said with a laugh. “I’m excited for all of the next things.”

The Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego will host a free book launch party for Krevat at 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, where she will sign books, read an excerpt, and answer questions from the public.

Jeannine Marquie thrilled to be back in SD as new Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre Coordinator

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Jeannine Marquie landed her dream-teaching job when she began working at Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre Department in 2007. But when schools were hit by the recession and her position went from full time to part time, the actress-turned-teacher had to look elsewhere and eventually relocated to Orange County for work.

Now starting her 18th year as a teacher, Marquie is back in Carmel Valley as the new theater coordinator of Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre Department. Envision offers day classes and after-school programs for cinema, dance, digital and fine art, instrumental music, theater, and vocal music.

“I love San Diego,” Marquie said. “When I first started working here, it was a dream job. It was the best ever, so I am beyond thrilled to be coming back.”

A Ventura native, Marquie traveled across the country like many young actors after high school. It was her experi- ‘I have a lot of passion and ence in the Big Apple that inspired her to become a teacher. energy for theater,’ says “I was kind of a big deal in high school,” she recalled. Jeannine Marquie, who will “Then I went there, and I was not a big deal anymore. I was be the theater coordinator ill-prepared to not be a big deal, so I wanted to come back of Canyon Crest Academy’s and make sure other kids did not have that experience. I Envision program. wanted to make sure that my students are prepared for what’s going to meet them in the real world of theater, so I was inspired to come back and teach.”

Marquie earned a bachelor’s in English with a minor in theater arts from Loyola Marymount University and her teaching credential from California Lutheran University. She later completed a master’s in education from Lesley University.

After college, Marquie returned to her alma mater to begin her teaching career. She helped build the theater program at Newbury Park High School, starting shortly after the school opened its 400-seat theater.

After five years at Newbury Park, Marquie relocated to San Diego to return to the stage, working with many local theaters, including North Coast Repertory Theatre, San Diego Repertory Theatre, Cygnet Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, Starlight Theatre and more. She also worked briefly at Taft Middle School and Monroe Clark Middle School before joining Canyon Crest Academy.

After a two-year stint as a theater teacher at Canyon Crest Academy, Marquie worked at Chabad Hebrew Academy, Pacific View Charter School and The Preuss School before moving to Orange County, where she worked at San Clemente High School and Irvine Valley College.

“My favorite thing about teaching is watching a student make a discovery about something, where they feel like they’ve done it on their own and gained something from the experience,” Marquie said. “That’s something that’s completely unique to teenagers — that joy of learning something new.

I love the energy that kids bring to the arts.”

Now that she’s back in San Diego, Marquie said she is excited to have more opportunities to return to the stage.

“It’s important for teachers to be active in their field to keep the passion alive, especially in theater,” she said. “There are so many new and exciting things happening. I find that I learn a lot, and then I can transfer that knowledge to my students.”

But her students are her focus. In fact, she already has the season planned.

With four main productions on her schedule, she will direct two of the productions and guest directors will direct the other two.

“I have a lot of passion and energy for theater,” she said. “I’m excited to bring that to the program. I have high expectations, but also a lot of heart. My students can tell that I really care about them and their experiences. I think that’s something I’m going to bring to the program.”

The season will open Oct. 24 with “Zombie Prom” at the school’s Black Box Theater, directed by Marquie. She described the off-Broadway musical as “fun and goofy.”

Guest director Jason Maddy will head the fall’s second production, “Museum,” a satirical study of people viewing a contemporary art exhibit. The play runs Nov. 6-15 at the Canyon Crest Proscenium Theater.

In the spring, Marquie has planned Woody Allen’s “Don’t Drink the Water” at the Black Box Theater, followed by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Evita” at the Proscenium Theater.

In addition, students will put on a cabaret show in the fall and hold a “Shakespeare Under the Stars” event in the spring.

“We have a lot of really talented kids who know a lot about the arts,” Marquie said. “I promise that whatever we put on at the school will be enjoyable to San Diego audiences at large. People will enjoy our plays and our musicals. Come support them.”

Sense of family and community part of RSF Farmers Market vibe ‘We are creating relationships,’ say new owners of weekly meetup at Del Rayo shopping center

BY KAREN BILLING On Sunday afternoons at Del Rayo Shopping Center, the parking lot comes alive with the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market. “It’s a vibrant, living feeling ‌ it transports you, it’s not just a parking lot, â€? said Diane Haworth, who along with Michael Varbaek took over the market in January and infused it with their special energy and a focus on longevity.

Every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Del Rayo on San Dieguito Road, up sprouts the market, filled not just with aisles of vendors in tents, but fresh flowers spread throughout and bistro tables under umbrellas where the owners hope people will sit and stay a spell. “Every Sunday, we’re trying to create a symphony — all the instruments have to be in tune,� Varbaek said. The market “soothes the soul, it’s nurturing. In today’s society, there’s a huge need for that, because it doesn’t exist. There’s a lot of go-go-go.�

He said the market is still an undiscovered gem in the community and he wants people to know what’s right under their noses, “a pleasant surprise waiting to happen.� “We have so many people come up to us and tell us they really appreciate the effort that we’re making, that it’s something really special that we’re doing here and that

we’ve taken it to a different level,� Haworth said.

Families trickle in and grab a bite to eat, enjoying the shade of a market umbrella and live music. People come fresh from morning workouts to pick up produce for the week, and kids take over the designated children’s craft areas.

There is a waiting list for vendors wanting to join the market, so the owners get to pick the cream of the crop. “We have very good relationships with the vendors; for us it’s a labor of love,� said Haworth.

In the aisles, there are buckets of colorful bouquets from Hidalgo Flowers and green grapes and ripe nectarines from Smit Orchards. People can sip on guava lemonade from Luscious Lemonades or enjoy an iced tea from Pangea Tea, with coconut gel on the bottom to sweeten it.

Shoppers can pick from Robbie’s Fresh Fish or Rollswisserie Gourmet Rotisserie chicken, taste authentic Spanish paella and gazpacho from Emilio’s or order up a freshmade crepe from Oh La Vache, where baskets overflow

with French pastries and breads.

have these guys in the market,� said Positano’s Tim Cusac of the new owners.

For Varbaek and Haworth, a farmers market goes right along with their life philosophy of longevity; they previously owned markets at Viejas and in Alpine.

As athletes, researchers and motivational speakers, they have spent much of their lives in the pursuit of outstanding health and wellness and sharing that knowledge with others.

Haworth, whose athletic roots include figure skating, competes in adventure racing and cycling. Varbaek is a world-class cyclist who once competed for the Danish National Team.

Both are certified culinary arts chefs and chef instructors specializing in raw food preparation, and together they have embarked on a four-year journey to learn everything they could on the topic of longevity, filming a documentary along the way.

The pair has traveled to “longevity villages� around the world where they studied and documented the lifestyle and habits of longliving people. They focused on visiting villages with the highest concentration of centenarians in more than 50 countries such as Japan, Italy, China and Greece. “We have 200 new sets of grandparents, extended families throughout the world,� said Haworth.

In their travels, they studied what all these different cultures had in common when it came to living a longer life. “One strong theme we found was the sense of community and being part of something greater than themselves in the villages and town squares,� Haworth said. “We’re all spread out here (in America); our whole way of living is different.�

In those communities, people go out and experience a market or town square — it’s a thing to go do and be a part of, rather than just crossing off items on a shopping list.

That’s what the two really wanted to create in Rancho Santa Fe. Varbaek hopes people will come, talk to the vendors, sit down and listen to live music, not think about work and just enjoy the moment.

Haworth admits that it sounds corny, but they have already seen a sense of family and community forming, See MARKET, page 29

Grassroots soccer program scores big with Mia Hamm visit National Guard enlists star player to publicize option for college funds

BY KAREN BILLING Mia Hamm, the inspirational World Cup champion and Olympic gold medal soccer player, visited RSF last week as the San Diego Surf Soccer Club hosted a clinic in partnership with The National Guard.

Surf players were excited just to share the same turf as Hamm at the San Diego Polo Club fields on Aug. 21, as Hamm is the third most capped female player in U.S. Soccer history. Until 2013, she held the record for the most international goals scored by any player in the world, male or female, with 158.

The National Guard, a major sponsor of U.S. youth soccer, has embarked on a Grassroots Soccer program to inform and educate high school-aged soccer players on how joining the Guard can help them reach their goals by helping pay for college education and develop real career skills.

The National Guard has collaborated with players like Hamm to host clinics at soccer clubs throughout the country, where young athletes go through an Army-style experience before getting training tips from the experts.

“There’s so many elite players in San Diego, and this is a great opportunity for them to learn from someone who played in the World Cup and in the Olympics, proudly representing the flag,” said Diane Scavuzzo of SoccerNation. com. “Surf is really excited about being able to sponsor the event.”

Hamm has been involved with the National Guard program since last summer when she traveled to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Baltimore. She started doing clinics with Elite Clubs National League, to which several Surf teams belong.

“I’m from a military family: My dad was in the Air Force, and that was my life growing up,” Hamm said. “The National Guard supporting youth soccer is extremely important … this is another option to pursue studies collegiately,

Top: Warmups at the National Guard clinic on Aug. 21. Right: Colin Chesters, San Diego Surf Soccer Club director of coaching, Mia Hamm and Catarina Macario. because not everyone is going to get a full-ride scholarship.”

SSG Dana Darvin-Varab, a recruiting and retention non-commission officer, said that’s exactly what happened for her.

She used the National Guard’s tuition assistance to help get her where she needed to go as she played soccer for a college in Arizona, but wasn’t a scholarship player. The National Guard helped give her an opportunity to go to school and find a career.

“Sometimes soccer is not going to be the only option, and the National Guard is a good back-up plan,” Darvin-

Varab said.

Hamm said she loves the opportunity to get out and interact with the girls at the clinics.

Throughout the year, she runs Team First Soccer Academy camps with her former U.S. teammates Kristine Lilly and Tisha Venturini-Hoch.

“We get to share our knowledge and experience with young girls across the country,” Hamm said. “And it’s a great way for us to be together, too.”

Last week, Hamm met and shared sage soccer wisdom with the Surf girls, who continue to be inspired by Hamm, despite many of them being just babies when her team won the 1999 World Cup. At the clinic, she met with one top player who is looking to follow in her footsteps, Catarina Macario. Macario is this year’s Elite Clubs National League top scorer and a member of Surf GU16 team.

“You just have to take every opportunity given to you,” Hamm told a star-struck Macario. “Make the most out of every opportunity, whether it’s a championship game or a simple pick-up game. See everything as an opportunity to show you’re prepared. Be respectful of the environment and yourself and what you bring.”

RSF Library offers Alzheimer’s series Kids Korps to join forces with B&G clubs • County behind effort to increase community awareness

BY KRISTINA HOUCK More than 60,000 San Diegans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and that figure will reportedly double in the next 15 years as baby boomers age. The disease has already climbed to the third leading cause of death in the county.

Taking aim at Alzheimer’s, the county Board of Supervisors in May launched the Alzheimer’s Project, an effort to create a regional strategy to improve caregiver resources and to support research efforts to find better treatments and ultimately, a cure for the disease. “Since San Diego County launched the Alzheimer’s Project with a real focus on research and community awareness and education, we’ve had a lot of interest from libraries throughout the county wanting to hold information sessions,� said Mary Ball, president and CEO of the San Diego/Imperial Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, which has served the community for 33 years. “We’re excited to be involved.�

For the first time, the Alzheimer’s Association and Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild will present “Brain Health and Alzheimer’s,� a three-part informational series at the Rancho Santa Fe Library. The free series kicks off Sept. 18, with more sessions on Oct. 16 and Nov. 13.

All sessions will take place from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

About a quarter of the Rancho Santa Fe population is 65 or older, and estimates are that 1 in 9 Americans age 65 or older is living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, Ball noted. “This is a community that most likely has many residents who are impacted by Alzheimer’s or are caring for somebody with Alzheimer’s,� she said.

Holly Pobst, the chapter’s director of community education, will lead the first two sessions.

The series begins with “Maximizing Your Brain Health,� which will cover things to do to keep your brain healthier as you age. Attendees will learn tips for effective communication with a loved one who is struggling with Alzheimer’s or dementia during the second session, “Compassionate Communication.�

A researcher, who has yet to be confirmed, will lead the third and final session. “Breakthrough Research� will cover what’s new in Alzheimer’s research. “These are classes that we offer throughout San Diego County, and they tend to be some of our most highly attended classes,� said Ball, who noted that the chapter hosts 12 to 15 classes every month at community centers, libraries, senior centers and the chapter’s offices. “It’s so important for people to understand the warning signs of Alzheimer’s or another dementia. It’s a great opportunity to understand how you can lower your risk for Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Also, if you have concerns about somebody, this is a great way to get educated and provide them with more information and support.�

youth and adult volunteers to meet their program and service needs. Kids Korps has also partnered and operated more than 60 chapters with school and other communitybased organizations across San Diego County.

The process and timeline for the integration will probably take up to three months to develop. “We are very excited to be combining forces with the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito,� stated Kevin Harris, board chairman of Kids Korps USA. “Their mission to inspire and enable youth to achieve academic success, build good character and responsible citizenship and make healthy lifestyle choices is very much aligned with Kids Korps. “Our members will now have access to our youth volunteerism projects and a broad range of extensive community-focused programs offered by the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. We look forward to working together through this transition and coming together to help strengthen the fabric of the San Diego Community through our youth.�

When youth volunteer, the larger community benefits. Volunteerism promotes positive citizenship among youth by encouraging them to be more engaged in their own communities. Youth who volunteer feel more connected to their community, are more likely to show concern, and to stay in or return to their communities. Thus, youth volunteerism contributes substantially to community vitality.

Studies suggest that youth volunteerism contributes to identity development, enhancement of skills (including increasing job marketability), increased self-esteem, deSee KIDS KORPS, page 29

The boards of directors for Kids Korps USA and Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito have approved a plan to merge and develop a leading youth volunteer organization.

Earlier this year, the board of Kids Korps USA decided to investigate strategic alternatives that would let the organization’s programs be operated under another San Diego County youth development organization with greater programs and services. Through this merger, the Kids Korps USA mission, members and services will achieve economies of scale under the infrastructure of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. “The creation of a vibrant and leading volunteer organization is an important initiative in our strategic plan,� said David H. Crean, president and CEO for Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. “There is a continuing need to connect youth to volunteerism and ensure that the value of giving back and philanthropy is part of the next generation’s lifelong commitment to service. Volunteering has a substantial socio-economic and psychology impact on others, especially on those most in need. We are committed to continuing the legacy of Kids Korps USA, strengthening our mission, and offering youth and their families’ valuable opportunities in making a difference in the lives of others.�

Kids Korps USA, founded in 1995 under the leadership of Rancho Santa Fe resident and co-founder Joani Wafer, is a leading national nonprofit youth volunteer organization. Its mission is to instill the spirit of giving while providing valuable education in leadership and civic responsibility. More than 325 community-based organizations have partnered with Kids Korps for their

Shared Belief wins $1M Grade 1 TVG Pacific Classic

BY KELLEY CARLSON Shared Belief kept his perfect record intact by posting a 2 3/4-length victory in Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature race, the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic, on Sunday (pictured).

Ridden by Mike Smith, the 3-year-old gelding raced in midpack in the early part of the going, but rallied past Toast of New York and last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Classic winner, Game On Dude, as they entered the homestretch.

Shared Belief covered the 1 1/4 miles on the Polytrack in a swift 2:00.28; Toast of New York held on for second, while Imperative got up for third. Game On Dude faded to fourth.

Shared Belief, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champion 2-year-old male, is trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, and owned by a partnership of sportscaster Jim Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jungle Racing LLC, Hollendorfer and George Todaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special horse,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard someone say this might be the coming out of a superstar. I think now this horse deserves that accolade. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you what: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as good a young horse as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sat on in a while.â&#x20AC;?

The victory garnered Shared Belief a spot in the $6 million Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup Classic on Nov. 1 at Santa Anita, since the Pacific Classic is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Win and Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Inâ&#x20AC;? qualifier, and possibly sets the gelding up for a showdown with Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome to determine the top 3-year-old in the nation.

On the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undercard, Goldencents set a track record while streaking to a wire-to-wire win in the Grade II, $250,000 Pat Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Stakes, and Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tribute showed his affinity for the Del Mar turf course by taking his second stakes of the meet, the Grade II, $250,000 Del Mar Mile.

Sitar hero Sitar virtuoso Kartik Seshadri, mentored by Ravi Shankar, points the way forward for Indian classical music

BY JARED WHITLOCK Growing up in India, Kartik Seshadri was recognized by musicians at age 6 for his full-scale sitar solos.

Not long after, his music even caught the ear of the legendary sitarist Ravi Shankar, who paid him a visit and later became his guru.

“It was a complete honor,” Seshadri said. “Obviously, I couldn’t believe it.”

He added: “No matter what I was doing as a kid, whether flying kites or running down the street or playing cricket or marbles, one thing that always called to “No matter what I was doing as a kid, whether flying me was music. I can’t put kites or running down the street or playing cricket or into words why that is.” marbles, one thing that always called to me was music,” More than five decades says Kartik Seshadri of Encinitas. COURTESY PHOTO later, he’s still enamored with Indian classical music, a form that has its roots in Hindu scriptures and includes instruments like sitar and tanpura.

Seshadri’s dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. Songlines Magazine UK has called him today’s greatest sitar player. And the Federation of Indian Associations, San Diego honored him Aug. 24 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, for his contributions to Indian music.

He often performs throughout the world, from Carnegie Hall to his homeland. Once in a while, he plays in Encinitas, where he’s lived for more than two decades.

“Kartik is a world-class musician who has achieved great success internationally,” said Jim Gilliam, Encinitas arts administrator, in an email. “We know him as a humble and generous artist who presents concerts at the Encinitas Library.

“People probably don’t realize that this is the same person who concertizes at Carnegie Hall. His talent and passion for Indian classical music connects with people from all cultures and we are honored that he is part of our local arts community.”

In his teens, Shankar formally took him on as a disciple, which proved to be formative to Seshadri’s development as a musician. Seshadri recalled playing from early in the morning to late at night at Shankar’s house in Varanasi, India.

“We were awash in music, steeped in the depths of our tradition,” Seshadri said. “I learned a lot, to say the least.”

Seshadri moved to the U.S. in 1981 to continue his apprenticeship and support Shankar at concerts throughout the West.

Shankar, who died in December 2012, relocated to Encinitas in the early 1990s, drawn by the weather and tranquil atmosphere. He invited Seshadri to follow.

These days, Seshadri has his own disciples, who come from around the world to learn from him. And he heads one of the world’s largest Indian classical music programs at UC San Diego.

When he’s not teaching, he’s touring.

To that end, one goal of his performances is to change perceptions. To some Westerners, Indian music only conjures up images of the sitar and The Beatles.

“This is a 5,000-year tradition,” Seshadri said. “It didn’t start in the ’60s. I want to convey how ancient this tradition is and how it requires such discipline and rigor. It takes years and years of practice, like studying Bach or Beethoven, to understand the intricacies of a raga.”

Ragas, the lifeblood of Indian classical music, are a large group of traditional melody patterns that musicians infuse with their own improvisation. They often start with an introspective section and later burst into a dramatic emotional finish.

“For those who aren’t familiar with Indian classical music, they have this ‘Aha!’ moment, because they pick up on the improvisation and various movements that happen within the raga,” Seshadri said. “There’s something that speaks to everyone.”

He added: “The challenge with performing is you don’t want to be pedantic and so theoretical you lose your audience. But at the same time, it’s not to be a populist, where you redo the Monterey Pop Festival.”

Similarly, Seshadri is opposed to market-driven fusion music, saying that it often means watering down the Indian form. However, he has pursued orchestra music when it makes sense to him. Notably, he’s collaborated with famed minimalist composer Philip Glass.

“There is a point where you can take Indian music, with great care, to a chamber orchestra,” Seshadri said.

Whether experimental compositions or playing traditional Indian music, he has no plans to stop. Ragas beckon.

“Music, to me, is a tremendous medium for bringing people together,” Seshadri said.

“And it also means being lost in these worlds of sounds.”

BY CATHERINE FOX RSF ASSOCIATION POOL AND FITNESS COMMITTEE MEMBER In last week’s RSF Review, a letter to the editor about the Pool and Fitness Facility exploration project argued that “Most of the homes in the Ranch already have private pools in their backyards and have no interest in paying more taxes on a project that they may never use or enjoy. Second, a fitness center is also not of importance since there is a full service, fully equipped and staffed LA Fitness Center just 5 miles from our schoolhouse.”

As a member of the committee exploring the viability of a pool and fitness center for Covenant homeowners, I’m glad the resident asked that question because our committee has debated those concerns before and I always like to share our thinking regarding the issues. I’ll answer in three parts: First, let me reiterate that this project in no way raises Association dues or taxes. The Association already sets aside a small portion of existing Association dues in its Community Enhancement Fund (current balance is about $6 million with $1.2 more added each year) for projects like this that are meant to enhance our community. In addition, the Association has unrestricted reserves of about $2.6 million that could be used for the project. The general membership would not be asked to pay any new dues or fees for this endeavor. Only those Covenant members who choose to join would pay an initial sign-up fee and monthly dues.

Second, the vision for the facility has always been greater than just providing a place to swim laps, run on a treadmill or take an exercise class. It is meant to become a community hub that complements the Golf Club and the Tennis Club facilities. The pool facility would be designed not only for exercise, but also to enjoy with friends and family. The complex would include a casual dining area (open to all Covenant members, including those who are not members of the pool and fitness facility) where families can gather in a more relaxed setting and grab a coffee, snack or meal without feeling they’re dressed inappropriately for a more formal facility like the Golf Club.

Third, the goal of the project is to protect and enhance the value of all Covenant properties. The pool and fitness committee grew out of a desire to understand the ways that we keep RSF among the most sought-after communities in the country and to ensure the community’s long-term success by increasing demand for homes (and as a result supporting or increasing home values) in a manner consistent with our historic mission.

The Covenant has been losing homebuyers to the surrounding Rancho Santa Fe area communities such as The Bridges, Cielo, Santaluz and The Crosby (whose homes also have pools in the backyards and the same opportunities to drive to big-box fitness franchises).

Developers designed those communities with amenities that were attractive to all ages and family configurations, and paid particular attention to creating gathering places that foster a sense of community for residents.

In order to properly understand and address this dynamic, our committee of community residents, young and old, supporters and detractors, got together with Clubmark, an expert consultant in clubs and residential communities, to address this amenity question.

They concluded that lifestyle and interests of homebuyers and families are changing, and some of the amenities that are incorporated in these newer communities, particularly pools, fitness centers, and casual dining environments, are important and reflective of these broader lifestyle changes.

As a community, the Covenant must recognize these changing interests and today’s family dynamics. Like the Golf Club, the Tennis Club, and the Equestrian Trail system, providing attractive, relevant, and compelling amenities that enhance life for current and future residents is the cornerstone of the vision that created the community in the 1920s.

I believe it is prudent that we continue the vision of the founders of the Covenant, and I fully support the conclusions of the committee that creating a pool, fitness center, and community hub in a manner that complements the wonderful amenities we have today is a project worthy of consideration.

Disappointed by trash thrown in the street A local resident submitted the photo above. They took the photo about 10 p.m. on Aug. 20 in the RSF village. The resident said that she and her friend were “shocked” when, as they were turning right from Paseo Delicias onto Avenida de Acacias, they saw two people emptying the trash from their car. “We did a U-turn and pulled up behind them. When they saw us they got in the car and drove off,” the resident said. “... I don’t believe there is anything to be done about it but we were so disappointed that people would be so mean spirited.”

BY RANDI CRAWFORD How can I not talk about Robin Williams’ death? Like most of you, when I learned about his death/suicide, I was saddened beyond words. It felt like losing a neighbor. I can’t say that I was shocked, because it seems like most funny people are hiding a deep sadness. Lots of comedians have said that laughter is cheaper than therapy. But from everything I’ve read Randi Crawford and seen about his life, the people who knew him best loved his heart.

The story of Robin Williams’s suicide has made such a huge impact on all of us. First, he was truly one of the most incredible talents of our time, and I don’t just say that because he is no longer with us. His “Aladdin” character is better than any other Disney character I’ve ever seen, mainly because of his outrageous monologues. I equally love his more serious roles, like in “Good Morning Vietnam” and “Dead Poets Society.” Who can forget his famous words, “O Captain, my Captain,” or “Carpe Diem”?

When I graduated from Villanova, he performed. He wasn’t the keynote speaker, he was actually doing his standup routine, and boy, was he racy. Trust me, being at a Catholic school with nuns and priests, Robin Williams’ stand-up routine was saucy — and we all loved it.

One of the reasons that I can’t get his death off my mind is because his suicide tells me how little we really know about depression and mental illness. When someone as successful as Robin Williams can’t see light at the end of the tunnel, we’ve got a real problem. This isn’t about money, fame, or adoration. This is something so much deeper and darker that it’s almost untouchable. Unless you have it, you probably can’t empathize or understand it. I know I sure don’t.

I realize that there’s a stigma when you tell someone that there is something wrong with your brain, but this paradigm has to change. Isn’t it strange that when you tell someone about any physical ailment you have, they rush to help you find the right doctor? But we don’t want to tell people that we have anything wrong with our brain because we fear that they will label us as “crazy.” When I ran a healthcare company focused on menopausal women, I did a lot of research and learned that not too long ago “menopausal” women were institutionalized because people labeled them as crazy. Can you imagine that happening today? When you hit menopause, your hormones definitely impact you physically and psychologically, but trust me, you aren’t crazy.

Let’s face it, we all have that image of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and Nurse Ratched etched into our brains. Remember when Nurse Ratched would administer the mind-numbing medicine to all the loons, and when that didn’t work, they got electric shock treatment? Her famous quote, “If Mr. McMurphy doesn’t want to take his medication orally, I’m sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way. But I don’t think that he would like it.”

That’s some scary stuff. It reminds me of what the movie “Jaws” did to people. It made us all afraid to get back in the ocean. So when you’re really far out in the water, you hear that music in your head. Na-Na ... Na-Na ... nanananananana until you speed- swim right back to shore. We can thank Steven Spielberg for that phobia.

Mental illness and severe depression are deep, dark and possibly deadly. They are probably a lifelong battle that needs constant support and small gestures of love and caring every day. I wish we had the answers, but I believe we have a long way to go before we truly understand this disease.

And for the love of God, stop looking at mental illness and picturing Jack Nicholson. You are better than that.

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update Superintendent Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community monthly through our local media. Topics will include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety, and other specific and special interest issues.

Today’s update focuses on welcoming all to the new year and our 2014-15 priorities.

BY RICK SCHMITT On behalf of our Board of Trustees, I want to welcome you and our 12,400-plus students to the 2014-15 academic year. The start of a new school year is always exciting. We have spent the summer eagerly preparing for your student’s return on Aug. 26 and look forward to sharing new learning Rick Schmitt experiences with each of you. For parents/guardians whose students are entering our schools for the first time, I would like to extend a special heartfelt thank you for the trust you have placed in us.

For generations, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) has been the educational home to students across our community, as well as a critical part of what makes our cities and towns such a great place to live. As superintendent, I am thrilled to live in our community and be part of a school district whose traditions are honored and where keeping current with the best teaching and learning practice is valued. Our priorities include communicating and delivering our vision for success …

1. by offering a cohesive curriculum, instruction, and assessment program aligned to Common Core; 2. by deliberately prioritizing budget stabilization and recovery; 3. in world-class, 21st Century facilities aligned with instructional priorities, school safety, balanced enrollment capacity and our multi-year Prop AA projects.

Here is a brief update on Common Core, Prop AA, and school safety.

Common Core Our district continues our gradual, multiyear transition to the Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts, Mathematics, and Literacy. These standards represent a significant shift in what we expect our students to know and be able to do, and the standards apply to all of our subject areas. The CCSS ask students to think deeply and critically about information, to apply knowledge and skills in solving real-world problems, and to master key skills essential to success in college and the workplace. 21st-century skills such as creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and communication are central to the CCSS and will help ensure that our students are prepared for whatever path they choose when they leave our schools.

One major area of focus for us this year will be ensuring that the learning outcomes we identify for each course are aligned with CCSS and that the assessments that we use to measure student learning are also aligned with CCSS expectations.

We will also begin to implement our new CCSS-aligned integrated math courses in grades 7-9, and we will support student learning in these courses with new instructional materials.

Finally, we will focus our professional development efforts on helping our teachers make the shifts in instructional and assessment strategies inherent to the CCSS. All of these shifts will be gradual, collaborative, and will be supported by ongoing comprehensive professional development for our teachers and staff. With this in mind, we expect students to find new levels of engagement in and ownership of learning.

For information about our district’s transition to the Common Core State Standards please visit our CCSS website at https://sites.google.com/a/sduhsd.net/ccsscommunity/.

Prop AA Over the last two summers, Proposition AA has funded improvement projects at every one of our schools. We have updated several media centers, expanded bandwidth and wireless access, built new fields and stadiums, and added air conditioning to hot classrooms. Our newest middle school, which will open next fall, is under construction, and building continues on new high school science classrooms. I’m proud to report that so far all of our projects have come in at or below budget.

As we head into this school year, we are excited to expand upon that work and prepare for the next series of projects which will focus on new science and academic buildings, renovations of older classrooms, accommodating enrollment demand at our academies, and completing technology infrastructure upgrades at all of our schools.

We will be working with the Board of Trustees throughout the year to align instructional priorities with project budgets for the next two years. We will keep our Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee and the public informed of our progress. For detailed information, refer to our regularly-updated Prop AA website.

community members in decisions that must be made on behalf of students. We will maintain our track record of inclusion and collaboration with our parents and extended community. Back-To-School nights are a great chance for you to be involved and hear from your children’s principals and teachers. Please take note of the following web addresses: Back-To-School Nights Schedule: www.sduhsd.net/documents/Superintendent/ News%20-%20Homepage/Back%20To%20School%20Nights-%202014.pdf 2014-15 Instructional Calendar: www.sduhsd.net/documents/District%20Calendars/2014-15%20Instructional%20Calendar-%20Bd%20Approved%2006-16-11.pdf When I reflect on what we have to be proud of in San Dieguito, I always think about our talented students and staff who are regularly recognized for their achievements. They make us all proud. One way to follow all of our amazing students, staff and programs is to follow SDUHSD updates on Facebook, Twitter, the SDUHSD website, through our local media outlets, and by attending our school and community events.

On behalf of our district, please accept my thanks for your support of our schools and our students, and on a personal level, for the opportunity to lead and work with you as your superintendent.

Doris P. Triplett 1925 – 2014

School Safety Last year, I reported to you on our efforts to increase student safety at our schools.

Teachers and principals worked together to identify areas to improve security on campus.

We addressed many of those items over the summer and will continue to target the remaining issues this year. Some improvements will take longer to plan, and Prop AA projects will certainly play a part in bolstering our physical security. Principals will keep all informed of our plans and interim solutions as we continually refine our focus on safety.

We are also reinforcing a culture of safety. We will continue to work with law enforcement on our emergency response planning and training. Visitor and staff identification policies are being revised to help distinguish adults on campus better. The most important factor, however, is that students, parents, teachers, administrators and staff talk about what is happening at school and work together to ensure that school is a safe place for every student.

Our continuous improvement efforts are critical to our students, ensuring that the high quality of our schools is maintained. Improving student achievement goes beyond academics, co- and extra-curricular activities, and student performance. It means conservative budgeting and seeking new ways to protect taxpayer investment in our schools. SDUHSD has earned a reputation for efficiency and quality.

Please know that we always work to address critical issues transparently and involve

Doris Triplett, 89, passed peacefully of natural causes in Marysville, Washington, July 21, 2014. She was the firstborn of Clara Ard and Edward Pavlicek in Elsmore, Kansas, on February 28, 1925.

She is survived by her brother, Edward D. Pavlicek; children, Norman Charles, Susan Jean Wilhite, and Cynthia Jane; four grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

In 1946 she met John Roger Triplett at Kansas University and they married July 3, 1947. In 1948, motherhood began with the birth of their son in Lawrence, Kansas.

In 1951, the family of three moved to Richland, Washington, where both daughters were born. Ten years later, the family of five moved to San Diego’s North County to settle in Rancho Santa Fe from 1963 to 1994. Besides child raising, the couple continued interests in camping, skiing, hiking, mountain climbing, and cats. As Sierra Club members, they took part in trail building the West Fork of Oak Creek near Sedona, Arizona. Their interest in gardening culminated with membership in the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club.

Doris resumed studies at San Diego State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1974. With their last child off to college, Regis-

tered Nurse Doris worked in hospitals and in in-home care well into the 1980s.

As retirement neared, Doris and John travelled.

High points included Stonehenge on a trip to Bath, England, and meeting composer Leopold Stokowski, famed particularly for the Disney film Fantasia.

Doris and John moved to Medford, Oregon, in 1994 and joined the Jacksonville Garden Club. Two years later, John succumbed to cancer. Doris became a Marysville, WA, resident in 2006. She reached her final home in Young At Heart in 2011, where she often smiled and enjoyed life through her final days.

A private memorial service was held for her in Marysville on August 6, 2014.

WATER continued from page 1

p.m. each day.

In addition, washing down paved surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, parking lots and tennis courts, will be prohibited, except for health and safety reasons. Water leaks must be repaired within 72 hours, and operating recreational equipment or fountains that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recirculate water is prohibited.

The restrictions, called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Level 2 Water Shortage Response,â&#x20AC;? were approved by the irrigation district board on a 4-0 vote at its Thursday, Aug. 21, meeting. Director Andy Menshek, who will step down from the board when his term ends this fall, was not present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These measures are not Draconian,â&#x20AC;? said district general manager Michael Bardin, noting that provisions such as fixing leaks promptly are simply common sense.

Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board action follows on the heels of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implementation of voluntary conservation

measures in February.

The district was required to move to mandatory water-use restrictions by a state edict to conserve water in response to the drought, which is now in its third year. Officials said recordbreaking heat in the first half of 2014 has exacerbated the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water woes.

Properties with addresses ending in odd numbers are allowed to water on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday; properties with addresses ending in even numbers can water on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Multifamily properties, condominiums and businesses can water on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

At Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, Director Greg Gruzdowich asked Bardin why the district doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow property owners to determine for themselves which three days they will water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If everybody gets to pick their own three days, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way for us to know if anybody is complying,â&#x20AC;? Bardin said.

The district will set up a hotline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 858-227-5801, Option 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that residents

can call to report suspected water waste, and district staff will also be out in the field monitoring compliance with the regulations, said district officials.

For an initial violation, water district customers will receive a warning letter.

They could face fines of escalating amounts for subsequent violations, and the penalty for a fourth violation is $500.

The district last imposed mandatory water-use restrictions in 2009 during a previous California drought.

Those restrictions were lifted in 2011.

Jessica Parks, a district spokeswoman, said the agency did not have to fine any customers for violating water-use restrictions the last time they were in effect.

The district also has rebates, incentives and assistance programs to help customers save water, she said.

For example, district residents can request a free survey of their property by district staff, who will make recommendations and offer water-saving tips.

For more about the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservation pro-

grams, visit www.sfidwater. org/conservation.

Regional water officials have said that if California experiences another dry winter, water supplies could be cut to San Diego County by next year, which could trigger water rationing.

The Santa Fe Irrigation District has a four-step response plan for water shortages. At Level 3, residents and businesses would face additional restrictions, along with possible water rationing. The district has never gone to a Level 3 response, Parks said. Level 4 includes mandatory reductions of over 40 percent, water rationing, and a ban on landscape irrigation.

Also at Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, board members decided that some irrigation district meetings could be held in the evening starting next year, so that district residents who work during the day can attend. Those meetings would probably include public hearings when such topics as water rates, annual budgets and employee or board member compensation are discussed.

COMMITTEE continued from page 1

Parent Rita MacDonald spoke at the Aug. 21 meeting, asking the district to improve its communication efforts about high school selection with middle school students who are not in the district.

MacDonald, whose son attended Notre Dame Academy in Carmel Valley, said she was unaware of the procedures and requested her son be placed on the wait list for CCA on March 10, past the March 3 filing deadline. The district could not legally fulfill her request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had my son been added to the wait list, he wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been admitted to CCAâ&#x20AC;? with all the other wait-list freshmen, MacDonald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ask that the board correct this oversight â&#x20AC;Ś My family was treated unfairly even though weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taxpayers living in the district.â&#x20AC;?

She said her family was discriminated against because her child did not attend a district school and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive the same notifications as district parents.

Board trustee John Salazar asked Superintendent

Rick Schmitt whether something could be done to admit MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, since all other wait list freshmen were accepted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All freshmen were admitted off the wait list this year, but there are 167 students in the upper grades on the wait list who followed all the laws and have priority,â&#x20AC;? said Schmitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring in someone who did not participate.â&#x20AC;?

He said that staff cannot add a student to the wait list after the deadline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it has been the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy for more than 18 years that if families donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate in the high school selection by the deadline date, they are ineligible. Schmitt noted that six other Notre Dame students participated in the process and were accepted into their school of choice.

Grove said that parents are notified of the process on the district website, through traditional and social media, as well as an internal email system for district parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many ways to become familiar with the system and legally apply,â&#x20AC;?

Schmitt said.

33rd season promises to be a powerhouse for North Coast Rep

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT In numerology, No. 33 is what’s called a “master number” — a balance of powers, transforming the consciousness of many. North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 33rd season looks to be all of that.

Starting with Noel Coward’s “Fallen Angels” on Sept. 3 seems numerologically perfect: No. 3 means creativity, charm, wit and humor, and Coward’s plays have no shortage of those. This one features a pair of married BFFs anxiously awaiting a blast from their once-romantic pasts, with a passionate Frenchman, a sassy housekeeper and two clueless husbands adding to the fun.

Not as well-known as other Coward classics like “Blithe Spirit” or “Private Lives,” “Fallen Angels,” which first opened in London in 1925, has lately been making the rounds of theaters here and abroad and scoring rave reviews.

“It’s a champagne cocktail of a play, one of Noel Coward’s earliest, and it’s directed by Rosina Reynolds, who played one of the leading ladies herself in the late 1980s at the old Gaslamp Theatre,” said NCRT’s Artistic Director, David Ellenstein.

During the run, there will be a one-night reading on Sept. 15 of one of Coward’s last plays, “Song at Twilight.”

“The later play is much darker,” Ellenstein said. “It was written near the end of his life and reveals some of his inner demons. It will be performed on the ‘Fallen Angels’ set.”

Later in September, there will be a special event, presented in connection with the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture — an updated version of “The Rothschilds,” the 1970 Broadway musical that turned out to be the last collaboration of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, best known for “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Composer Bock died in 2010, but lyricist Harnick and bookwriter Sherman Yellen have been reworking the play, now titled “Rothschild & Sons,” for the past few years. Local audiences can see the results in a two-nights-only workshop production Sept. 22 and 23, before the show returns to New York, and possibly, Broadway.

Next up, on Oct. 15, is the San Diego premiere of the 2011 offBroadway hit, “Freud’s Last Session,” with Ellenstein directing. In this imagined encounter between the aged, cancer-ridden father of psychoanalysis (a devout atheist) and the brilliant young author/professor C.S. Lewis (a former atheist turned devout Christian), their meeting on the eve of World War II turns into an intellectual duel almost to the death on the subjects of love, God, and the meaning of life.

Closing out the year is “This Wonderful Life,” a one-man tour de force based on the popular Christmas film, “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

David Ellenstein “Jim Leaming — the Narrator in our recent production of “Who Am I This Time?” — plays all the parts himself,” Ellenstein said. “He’s very charming, very Jimmy Stewart, and he’s been taking the show around the country since 2008. This is the smallest theater he’s performed in, so it should feel very intimate here.”

The new year kicks off with “Gunmetal Blues,” a musical spoof of 1940s film noir, followed by Neil Simon’s autobiographical rom-com “Chapter Two” (the first play ever produced by NCRT), and “Unnecessary Farce,” a zany escapade involving molls, cops, hit men — and bagpipes.

Harold Pinter’s powerful “Betrayal” arrives next June, followed by the musical “Side by Side by Sondheim” in July.

Response to Season 33 has already been very positive. “It’s an audience-friendly season, and our subscriptions have really gone up,” Ellenstein said. “But we’re still looking out for a new space. We have 194 seats here, and we’d like to have at least 350, plus a larger stage and more backstage facilities — a bigger and better space to do what we do.”

North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive (a block east of I-5, within the Vons shopping plaza in Solana Beach. For more about Season 33 or to purchase tickets, visit www.northcoastrep.org or call the box office at 858-481-1055.

Horizon Prep graduates from cottages to new campus building

BY KAREN BILLING Horizon Prep dedicated five new grammar school classrooms on Monday, Aug. 25. Donor contributions have allowed the Rancho Santa Fe school to grow from 14 little green cottages to a school with 29 state-ofthe-art classrooms and more to come.

“We couldn’t be more excited about the opening of this school year,” said Dr. Bob Botsford, Horizon Prep president and CEO, who snipped the ribbon with Tom Morissey of Morissey Construction in front of a crowd of school families.

The new classrooms are in a new campus building that was completed over the summer. The rooms feature big windows, bright colors and glossy wood floors.

“They are really nice big spaces, light-filled with brand-new everything,” said Lani Curtis, the director of development. “We really wanted to give the kids a lot of room to explore, learn and interact.”

Only three of those little green cottages remain, and Curtis said the school has a complete plan for the rest of the campus construction — they will keep building as the funds are raised.

Still under construction is a permanently covered dining commons that the school expects to be complete by the end of 2014.

“This building is superexciting,” said Curtis of the indoor/outdoor space that will be used by the entire school. On the side of the dining commons building, there will be three additional classrooms, including a dedicated music room with state-of-the art acoustics.

On Monday after the dedication, students had the opportunity to sign the inner wall of the commons, as has been traditional with all the new buildings on campus.

Dr. Bob Botsford dedicates the new classroom building on Aug. 25. Below: First grader Gianna Griffin checks out her new classroom in Horizon’s all-new building.

Photos by Karen Billing One more building the school needs to complete down the road is its library, which will be the only twostory building on the campus.

The middle school will also start the school with brand-new furniture — all of the desks and chairs are on wheels, so the classroom can be reconfigured quickly for the seminar-style setup of the Classical experience, which encourages collaboration.

Horizon Prep representatives said they are excited to have the high school to really round out their Classical education experience, which recognizes three levels of growth and development in a child’s thinking and learning: grammar, logic and rhetoric.

Last year was Horizon Prep high school’s first year, and each year they will roll up a class — this fall, starting with a freshman and sophomore class.

“We are grateful to have that first year under our belt,” said Botsford of

The high schoolers have their own dedicated space on campus to be high schoolers, away from the elementary and middle school.

They have their own student union called The Hub, a space with couches, a kitchenette, work stations and an outdoor deck. The students have taken pride and ownership of the space, Curtis said.

Carnitas Snack Shack brings porkfest to Del Mar Highlands Town Center

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s new fast-casual porkhouse Carnitas Snack Shack has arrived.

The original recipe North Park location has become well known in San Diego for its pork-centric menu — bacon even factors into dessert options and the fries come with a side of bacon-infused ketchup.

The Snack Shack’s new location in Del Mar Highlands Town Center opened in the afternoon on Thursday, Aug. 21, and stayed busy until 11 p.m.

“The opening was really crazy — it challenged us,” said Chef Hanis Cavin, who co-owns the restaurants with Sara Stroud.

Proof of the success of their new location came from a comment on social media that pronounced that the new Snack Shack was just like the North Park location.

“That’s the best compliment you can give a chef, that the experience was the same because of all the hard work and training that went into making sure people have the same experience in every place,” Cavin said.

Co-owners Cavin and Stroud first met when they were at Kensington Grill — Cavin was the executive chef and Stroud was the general manager.

Stroud has been working in the restaurant industry since she was 15 years old and Cavin has been a chef for 20 years. They started thinking that if anyone could start a successful restaurant, it would be the two of them.

“I’ve been working at white-tablecloth restaurants my whole career. Business in that end was slowing down,” said Cavin, a graduate of the New England Culinary Institute.

“People couldn’t afford to go out to $100 dinners twice a week, but they could do a $20 dinner. We thought we could take all we knew, make quality food and put it into a spot where it looked like fine dining but you don’t have to pay big for it.”

The North Park location opened in 2011 and has since been known not only for the food, but for the hungry lines that spill down the sidewalk. As Cavin likes to say, “The line’s the sign.” He likes it so much, in fact, that he had it put on a T-shirt that employees wear.

The North Park location, unlike Carmel Valley, only has an outdoor patio — there is no indoor seating.

“We’re growing up,” said Cavin of the funky-industrial space with roll-up windows, a showstopper wall with a

Snack Shack’s pork belly app is another popular menu item: really slow-cooked, seared with a caramelized crust and a sweet chili glaze.

Special to the Carmel Valley location are a couple of new menu additions such as a veggie burger, a chopped market vegetable salad and an ahi nicoise salad with seared ahi, fingerling potatoes, green beans, egg and a kalamata olive vinaigrette.

The menu will change to include specials, such as pork belly hash tacos or poutine — French fries smothered with Above: Carnitas Snack Shack chef and co-owner Hanis Cavin, second from left, with cheddar gravy, topped with his kitchen crew.

Soul-stirring musical memoir comes to San Diego Repertory

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Mona Golabek is an award-winning concert pianist who has performed with major orchestras around the world and been the subject of several PBS-TV documentaries. In 2003, she co-wrote a book about her mother, Lisa Jura, who was her first piano teacher and lifelong inspiration. The book became the basis for a one-woman show, “The Pianist of Willesden Lane,” which premiered in 2012 at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.

Pianist/actor/composer/playwright/producer/director Hershey Felder, well-known here for his portrayals of Beethoven, Chopin and Gershwin, adapted and directed the original production, which the L.A. Times called “an arresting, deeply affecting triumph.” The show has since gone on to successful runs in Chicago, Berkeley and New York, and will be coming to San Diego Repertory Theatre Sept. 3-28.

At the keyboard, Golabek shares her family memoir of music, hope and survival, accompanying it with her own renditions of pieces from the classical piano repertoire.

The story begins in Vienna in 1938, with 14-year-old Lisa Jura, whose mother is also a pianist, dreaming of her Viennese concert debut.

But the Juras are Jewish, and the coming of the Nazis puts an end to Lisa’s dreams. Lisa is lucky enough to be one of 10,000 children taken to safety in London as part of the rescue mission called the Kindertransport. Her mother’s last words to her as she boards the train: “Hold on to your music. It will be your best friend.”

Willesden Lane was the hostel where Lisa managed to survive both the Holocaust and the bombing of London, ultimately having her concert debut at London’s Wigmore Hall. Her parents were not so lucky.

Years later, honoring the words of the grandmother she never got to meet, Mona Golabek founded Hold On to Your Music, a nonprofit that provides copies of her book, “The Children Mona Golabek in ‘The Pianist of of Willesden Lane,” and educational materials Willesden Lane,’ at San Diego about events like the Holocaust, to students and Repertory Theatre. Courtesy photo teachers. The organization is dedicated to spreading the message that even in the face of terrible adversity, music has the power to lift and embolden the human spirit.

In a recent interview, at the end of a sold-out, seven-week run of “The Pianist” in New York, Golabek talked about the show’s evolution, and her own.

“I learned my mother’s story during my piano lessons. She would say: ‘Every piece of music tells a story, but you have to discover what the story is.’

“As I played, she would tell me stories, about the boy she fell in love with at the hostel, or how she pounded out a Grieg concerto while the bombs were coming down. Those were the things that sustained her, and she passed them on to me.”

“The Pianist of Willesden Lane” began as a 40-minute selection of her mother’s stories, which Golabek shared at readings around the country. After seeing Hershey Felder’s performance of “Beethoven As I Knew Him,” she phoned him to ask for advice on how to turn her piano-accompanied readings into something more.

“He was so generous,” she said. “I showed him what I’d been doing, and he took me under his wing. He transformed and enriched the piece, and made me become my mother, telling the story in her voice. And the music is the secret arrow that pierces the heart.”

Performing “The Pianist” has been a thrilling experience, Golabek said, not least because of the hundreds of letters she receives, especially from young people, saying how much her mother’s stories have inspired them. “Every night, before I go onstage, I open one of the letters and read it. That helps me give my whole heart to every show.”

What’s next, after San Diego?

In November, she will present a citywide reading in Los Angeles for 10,000 students, which will include a shortened version of the show. Then it’s off to film in London and Vienna, for a planned documentary about her mother, and more performances of the show at the Cleveland Playhouse and Hartford Repertory Theatre.

“It’s an exhausting schedule,” she confessed, “but it’s such a privilege to be able to do this, to keep bringing my mother’s story from one heart to the next.”

If you go: Mona Golabek stars in “The Pianist of Willesden Lane,” which plays matinees/ evenings from Sept. 3-28 (Opening: Saturday, Sept. 6) on the Lyceum Stage, San Diego REPertory Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego.

TVG Pacific Classic Draw

BY LESLIE CARTER On the Wednesday before the running of the TVG Pacific Classic at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club the horses in the race are assigned their positions in the starting gate.

Starting position is important to how well a horse may do in a race, so the draw is done randomly by pulling pills from a jar, and it is done in front of witnesses.

The Draw for the $1-Million TVG Pacific Classic was held on the evening of Aug. 20 at the Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa, a venue that is becoming traditional for this event.

Del Mar President and CEO Joe Harper set the stage and then handed the additional responsibilities off to track announcer Trevor Denman, and within a few minutes the connections of all 11 thoroughbred knew their post positions for Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier event scheduled for Aug. 24.

The remainder of the evening on the Rancho Valencia lawn featured wine and other beverages sipped in small groups of connections of the TVG Pacific Classic contenders.

And by the following Sunday afternoon the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most significant race in the west featuring older horses, is run on the Polytrack at 1 Âź miles.

And this year the race was won by unbeaten 3-year-old Shared Belief (see page 13), trained by Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Hollendorfer, and ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith. The owners include radio/TV sports commentator Jim Rome of Jungle Racing, Hollendorfer, Jason Litt, Alex Solis II and George Todaro. Shared Belief earned $600,000 for his owners and automatic admission to the $5-million Breedersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cup Classic this fall at Santa Anita.

The Sweeney Family

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a successful husband and a beautiful family, Tasha Donahue had what many would consider “the good life.” When her two oldest children were grown, however, Donahue found herself divorced and her youngest child diagnosed with a life-threatening brain disorder.

From the joys of early motherhood to the struggles of being a single parent, Donahue shares her life story in “More Than Words Can Express: My Journey Through Motherhood.”

“This is his story and my story,” said Donahue, a Del Mar author who has lived in the community for 13 years.

Donahue and her husband divorced in 1995. Just nine months later, their 13-yearold son, Brian, was diagnosed with epilepsy.

“When I divorced, I did not know he was about to be diagnosed,” Donahue said.

“I don’t know if I would have divorced if I knew ahead of time that I was going to have to deal with this alone. But I did and I survived.”

As a single mother, Donahue had to cope with her son’s diagnosis, as well as his rebellious years, alone.

Those challenges included several brain surgeries, drug abuse, suicide attempts and more.

“If I wasn’t a really, really strong person, Brian probably wouldn’t be alive,” Donahue said. “That’s not even from the epilepsy.

That’s just from the emotional issues that

“This book really could have been called, ‘My Family Dysfunction.’ But it really shows Brian’s fight and how he has had to deal with it.”

Now that Donahue has completed the book, she said it was therapeutic, but “the process of getting to that place is painful.”

“If you’re writing a story about heartache, disappointment, and life-and-death circumstances that are real, you’re reliving it with every sentence you write,” said DonaSee AUTHOR, page B22

Horizon Prep ‘Meet & Greet’; Dedication The sounds of the first bell had not yet rung at Horizon Prep Aug. 25, but that did not stop the Lions from getting a head start on the new school year!

The entire student body — Preschool through Rhetoric School — turned out to kick off the year with New Family Orientation (grades K-8), followed by an All-School Meet & Greet and topped off with the dedication of the new grammar school building.

The first day of school began Tuesday, Aug. 26 (Wednesday, Aug. 27 for M/W/F Early Education Classes).

The annual “Meet & Greet” felt more like a family reunion — with the addition of new family members — than the business as usual of schedules, locker assignments, and campus maps. The dedication of the additional classrooms for the School of Grammar (grades 1-5), allows for the expansion of the ever-growing School of Logic (grades 6-8) and School of Rhetoric (grades 9-12).

One of the highlights of the dedication was signing the wall of the next building in the Horizon Prep campus development, set to open in late fall. Visit www.horizonprep.org

Bishop’s School hires new coaches for boys basketball and baseball The 2014-2015 school year will see two experienced coaches joining the roster at The Bishop’s School.

Nick Levine will join Bishop’s as the head coach of boys’ varsity basketball, taking over from Matt Niehues, who relocated to the Bay Area. A native of Philadelphia, Levine attended high school at Chestnut Hill Academy, where he became one of its all-time leading scorers in the sport, surpassing the 1,000-point career mark. He is a 2006 graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, where he competed for the “Battling Bishops” in the North Nick Levine, left, and Ron Witmeyer.

Coast Athletic Conference.

Levine comes to Bishop’s from the Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad. In 2014, he earned a master’s degree in coaching and athletic administration from Concordia University in Irvine.

In baseball, Ron Witmeyer will replace Joey Centanni as the head varsity coach. Centanni has moved on to the University of Pacific.

Witmeyer, a Carmel Valley resident, attended Stanford University where he was a threeyear starter on the baseball team and a team leader on back-to-back NCAA National Championship teams (1987, 1988). After his junior year, he was drafted in the seventh round by the Oakland A’s and went on to play six years in their organization, highlighted by his time in the Major Leagues during the 1991 season. Upon completion of his professional career, he returned to Stanford to complete his undergraduate degree in sociology while also serving as an assistant coach for the school’s baseball team.

Witmeyer earned a master’s degree in health and physical education from St. Mary’s College while coaching and teaching at City College of San Francisco. He joined the Division I UC Berkeley baseball staff and served as assistant coach for six years. During his time coaching in the collegiate ranks, he helped to develop more than 70 future professional players, including 13 who went on to play in the Major Leagues.

“We were very lucky to find great coaches like Levine and Witmeyer, as their collective experience and know-how are a perfect fit for our school,” says Joel Allen, Bishop’s director of athletics. “We look forward to benefiting from their experience in developing successful and full basketball and baseball programs for the Knights.”

Former Cathedral Catholic pitching sensation Camarena fields the challenges of pro ball

BY GIDEON RUBIN Former Cathedral Catholic pitching standout Daniel Camarena had it ridiculously easy in high school.

Camarena was at the center of a Dons dynasty, making the varsity as a freshman and already making an impact his sophomore year. He culminated his distinguished prep career with a stellar senior year in 2011 in which he went 9-1 with a 0.53 ERA. Now three years into his professional career after being drafted by the New York Yankees in the 20th round of the 2011 amateur draft, Camarena is for the first time in his career — at any level — confronting failure.

His struggles with the Double-A Trenton (N.J.) Thunder in the Eastern League this season (he’s 1-5 with a 6.62 ERA through his first seven starts since a midseason promotion from advanced Class-A), however, should be taken with a fistful of salt.

Especially if you consider that at 21, Camarena is one of the youngest players at a level in which the average player’s age is 25, according to Baseball Prospectus.

There is, if nothing else, an intimidation factor in facing hitters who had graduated from high school while Camarena was still in middle school.

“Seeing guys who are 24, 25, 26 — there’s a couple of guys who are 30 years old — it’s the first time I’ve ever done that,” Camarena said. “I talked to my older brother (former University City High player Louie Camarena) and he said, ‘Those are guys that I should be facing.’”

That the Yankees are willing to challenge Camarena at this stage in his career, at a level where experiencing some failure is almost inevitable, reflects how much they value his prospect status.

“It’s a big honor,” said Camarena, who won’t turn 22 until November.

“I’m learning a lot. It’s not fun getting beat up on the mound, but I’m learning a lot from it and that’s the big thing.”

Camarena got a taste of it during the early part of his first full year of pro ball last season at Class-A Charleston (S.C.) in the South Atlantic League, but finished strong. He went 4-6 with a 4.42 ERA. He started this season at advanced Class-A Tampa, where he was 5-5 with a 2.35 ERA in 16 starts before his promotion.

Learning how to deal with failure is considered one of the

most important aspects of the developmental process in professional baseball.

Camarena believes it’s making him a better pitcher, noting that he’s already trying to apply what he learned at Charleston.

“I learned that every day’s not going to be a perfect day,” he said.

“You’re not going to go 1-2-3 every inning, and there’s going to be obstacles, so I’m taking the same approach here. Every game’s different ... I’m not panicking.”

Camarena acknowledged that he couldn’t say the same during portions of last season, when he struggled.

“I did panic,” he said. “I was kind of like, ‘What’s going on, what’s wrong with me?’ This year I’ve stuck to my routine and tried to stay focused.

“I think when things start going bad and you start trying to put all the pieces back together, sometimes you start thinking too much. I think I’ve done a better job in terms of sticking ‘It’s not fun getting beat up on the mound, but I’m learning a lot from it and to what I’ve got to focus on and just that’s the big thing,’ says Daniel Camarena.

Is Impact Investing the Way of the Future?

The next generation of investors is estimated to inherit $41 trillion from the baby boomers, and trends are revealing that impact investing will not only be part of mainstream wealth management, but it may become the core-portfolio. With that in mind, some of the biggest names in the financial service industry – Morgan Stanley, UBS AG, The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., and JPMorgan Chase & Co. – have already made plans to establish or increase the activities around impact investing.

According to the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), impact investments are “investments into

companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate a measurable, beneficial social and environmental impact alongside a financial return.” This idea appears to be gaining momentum and could be a large part of the future of financial planning. The World Economic Forum conducted a study in 2013 and found that next-generation investors consistently ranked impact performance as their primary investment criterion. Even ranking it ahead of return.

This movement parallels earlier studies taken of executives. In 2010, an Accenture survey revealed that 93% of corporate chief executives indicated that sustainability would be critical to the future success of their companies. And all of this momentum mirrors a much broader reshaping of global priorities. Out-of-control deficits, shaky financial markets, and staggering needs have shoved impact investing into the forefront. And with this comes new opportunities, challenges, and innovation in all sectors that has the potential to build a more prosperous future.

We have not yet seen a high demand for impact investing. But if these studies are correct, many investment advisers may face challenges when attempting to accommodate these emerging investment philosophies. For several advisers, profitability is partly driven by investing clients in a limited number of pre-set models. In order to stay efficient, these advisers cannot easily accommodate individual requests. Impact investing objectives can be very specific to an individual investor. Addressing these objectives with models would be a difficult task. It is becoming more and more important for firms to accommodate specific client preferences rather than trying to fit them into these pre-set models.

But regardless of the approach financial service firms favor, an impact investment program can be designed so that it signals important insights about investor preferences to the core wealth or asset management practices of a financial institution, irrespective of whether these investments help to meet institutional

philanthropy or compliance mandates.

Positioning impact investing in this way provides financial institutions and advisers with a way to respond to this new growing demand.

In the past, impact investing has been marginalized by mainstream financial institutions and often met with heavy skepticism. But things may be changing. It is hard to ignore the priorities of the next-generation investors and their $41 trillion. While the old model, as exemplified

by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, was to “make money and then give it back”, it appears that the new cultural inclination is to “do well and do good” simultaneously.

And whether you’re ready to get on board yet with impact investing or not, it looks to be the way of the future. Of course, this then only further emphasizes the importance of finding a financial adviser that believes in the approach of customizing client portfolios.

‘Pup-pare’ to make waves at HWAC surfathon Big chill: HWAC chief conquers icy challenge Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO Mike Arms recently kicked off the ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge” within the animal welfare world. The dare to experience a bucket of icy water had orphan pets and education animals, as well as area children, watching the Rancho Santa Fe animal center leader experience some frigid fun for fundraising. A donor and supporter of the charity, Arms extended the challenge to Krissie Newman, wife of NASCAR race car driver Ryan Newman and president of Rescue Ranch, as well as to San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Bolstered by the Center’s mission of “people helping animals, animals helping people,” Arms hopes that extending the Ice Bucket Challenge within the animal welfare world will not only bring more awareness to ALS, but also publicize the charitable work these organizations do for all living creatures.

A new Janet Lawless Christ listing on Paseo Delicias

A grand time was had by all at last week’s launch party for the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant’s newest property listing at 6550 Paseo Delicias.

After 15 months of complete renovation, the iconic property on the golf course’s 5th tee — formerly known as the “Golf Ball Man Statue Home” — rolled out the red carpet for the community to experience. And indeed guests were elated at the alluring, internationally-inspired design both inside and out!

The project is the first estate in the Cavaricci Collection which is planning to renovate and refresh several more properties in the Covenant.

The Cavaricci Collection’s focus is to restore and enhance custom properties each with an entirely exciting, fresh yet authentic design style.

The private party, hosted by listing agent Janet Lawless Christ, was both a fundraiser for the Covenant Golf Club’s beloved Future Legends Scholarship Fund for highly achieving yet underserved college-bound students, as well as a sneak peek of the upcoming Rancho Santa Fe Village Farmers’ Market. The array of farmers’ market vendors greeted guests on the spacious roundabout driveway with a delightful bounty, which included floral designs, artisan honeys and butters, succulents, desserts and healthy food purveyors. And the party guests enthusiastically welcomed them as they enjoyed sampling their wares.

Up and coming local guitarist and singer Austin Burns entertained the guests with original and popular favorites as the joyous crowd toured the property, enjoyed the sunset and, of course, the spectacular golf course views.

refined and respectful and persuasive kind of way,” Curtis said.

“It’s a completely different model of classroom experience; the students come to the table prepared and ready to participate and engage,” said Soncee Partida, communications coordinator. “By the end (of high school), they’re really master students, so it will be exciting to see how it comes to fruition.”

In addition to academics, students have plenty of athletic opportunities, with 11 acres of sports fields that will undergo a reconfiguration when the campus is fully built out. An aquatics center is also planned that will accompany the school’s spacious 2-year-old gymnasium.

The middle school’s sports program has been very successful and Independent Middle School League championship banners hang from the walls of the gym, accessed through the grand entrance, “The Lions Den,” which is adorned with a giant statute of a lion’s head over the doors.

While high school enrollment grows, students are able to participate in high school sports through the school’s alliance with Christian Life Assembly until they are big enough to apply to compete with CIF. The school joined the league last year and students form teams with home-school students. Last year students participated in soccer and track and field, and this fall they have their first football player playing in the league.

Even moderate exercise shown useful in fighting fatigue, cancer

BY SCOTT M. LIPPMAN Regular exercise improves health in ways most of us already know. It helps control weight, maintain strong bones, muscles and joints, and reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and premature death. Exercise quite literally makes us feel better, physically and mentally.

There is strong evidence that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of some cancers, such as colon and breast. Studies have also linked regular exercise to reduced risk of uterine, lung and prostate cancers. But having cancer doesn’t change the equation. Indeed, for patients diagnosed and treated for cancer, a life of regular physical activity can become even more critical to having a life with quality.

Physical activity is a critical component of energy balance, a term researchers use to describe how weight, diet and physical activity influence health. Indeed, researchers at Moores Cancer Center are conducting a pair of studies to assess the effects of healthy diets and exercise programs on women at risk of breast cancer and breast cancer survivors. You can find information at http://cancer.ucsd. edu/care-centers/breast/Pages/breast-cancer-study.aspx.

In a seminal series of papers published in 2012 in the journal Lancet, scientists from multiple institutions, including UCSD, concluded that physical activity could explain more than 5 million deaths worldwide each year — a number comparable to mortality figures associated with smoking.

“A surprising finding was that inactivity explains 10 percent of deaths from both breast cancer and prostate cancer,” said Jim Sallis, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Family and Preventive Medicine and director of the Active Living Research program at UC San Diego.

“Thus physical inactivity is a major contributor to common cancers of men and women.”

Dr. Scott Lippman Regular exercise prevents obesity, which increases a person’s risk of a host of different cancers. It helps reduce inflammation, also linked to cancer, while boosting the body’s immune system function, which helps prevent cancer.

How much exercise do you need? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention broadly recommends adults engage in “moderateintensity physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week” (about 30 minutes per day) or “vigorous-intensity” exercise for at least 75 minutes per week. The former is defined as activities like walking briskly, dancing or riding a bike on flat terrain. The latter refers to stuff like race-walking, high-impact aerobics, robustly climbing stairs or participating in fast-moving sports like basketball or soccer.

The best time to begin a lifelong anti-cancer exercise program is today, right now.

Once you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, the best time is today, right now. Often, patients become sedentary after a cancer diagnosis and treatment. They’re going through or have been through a lot. It might seem too much to launch into an exercise regimen. People tend to slow down.

Don’t.

As contrary as it may seem, physical activity is the most effective long-term solution to fatigue, a common characteristic of cancer and its treatment. How and how much you exercise while undergoing cancer treatment depends upon you, your condition, treatment protocols and your doctor. You may need to take special

care to monitor issues like blood counts, hydration, or new or unexplained symptoms.

Exercise for some cancer patients can carry a slightly higher risk for heart problems. You’ll probably need to adjust your intensity — at least at first. You’ll have to adapt. For example, older cancer patients with impacted bones or problems like arthritis or peripheral neuropathy (numbness in hands or feet) should only do exercises that have a minimal risk of falling or injury. Patients undergoing radiation should not expose treated skin to excessive sunlight or chlorine in swimming pools.

Regular exercise boosts cancer survivorship. One study, for example, found that women diagnosed with breast cancer who exercised moderately (the equivalent of walking three to five hours per week at an average pace) had better survival rates than comparable sedentary patients. Physical activity has also been shown to help patients cope psychologically with the rigors of their disease and treatment.

On a more personal note, I see these benefits of exercise at the annual Pedal The Cause (http://sandiego. pedalthecause.org/) bicycling fundraiser in San Diego. Many participants are cancer survivors or current patients. They ride for their health and because Pedal The Cause net proceeds are devoted entirely to local cancer research. This year’s event is Sept. 20-21. I will be there, riding alongside them. It’s good exercise. It’s a good way to help prevent cancer. I hope to see you there.

Willis Allen Real Estate presents â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We Support The Troopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Charity Golf Tournament Sept. 8 Willis Allen Real Estate is hosting the fourth annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Support The Troopsâ&#x20AC;? charity golf tournament to be held Sept. 8 at the Rancho Bernardo Inn Resort golf course.

The event will be a shotgun start â&#x20AC;&#x153;Team Scrambleâ&#x20AC;? format tournament benefiting two local military charities, North County Warrior Support and Soldiers Who Salsa.

Registration and event details are at: www.WeSupportTheTroopsGolf.com.

North County Warrior Support, founded in 2003, is a local 501(c)3 organization established by Jack and Sue Gierster, owners of Funday RV in Oceanside, with a mission to support junior enlisted ser-

vice members and their families by providing automobile repairs that otherwise are not possible with their family budgets. Since its inception, it has serviced more than 150 vehicles at a value over $425,000. In addition, it annually supports Camp Pendleton families each Christmas with Santa, along with the help of a host of volunteers who deliver trees, food and gifts for family members.

Soldiers Who Salsa, also a 501(c)3, was established as a therapy program for wounded troops at Naval Hospital San Diego and Bethesda Naval Hospital, Md. The idea for this program was sparked by Mary Murphy of â&#x20AC;&#x153;So You Think You Can Danceâ&#x20AC;? fame. This therapy provides an opportunity for those recovering from amputations, post-traumatic stress disorder, and traumatic brain injury to regain both physical co-ordination and socialization skills. Under the direction of dance instructor Jennifer Ables and volunteers serving as dance partners, these recovering heroes prepare to move forward with their lives.

This event promises to be a memorable experience with the satisfaction of contributing to the San Diego men and women in the military who unconditionally dedicate their service to the freedom of this great nation.

The public can support these worthwhile charities by entering the tournament or by sponsoring a military member to play, along with additional sponsorships and donations.
