Back to school BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS It’s that time of year again. The summer sun sets just a bit earlier each day, students of all ages are stocking up on school supplies and parents are finally getting a bit of relief that the kids are out of the house for the day. Ready or not, school is back in session Sept. 4. A few notable back-to-school developments and trends to look out in for this year in the La Jolla Cluster schools include a few revitalized facilities, schools embracing the use of technology to connect students, teachers and parents, and endless amounts of fundraising efforts and creative methods of conquering the devastating results of budget cuts that continue to trouble the district.

UCSD alumna brings education to Honduras’ untamed wilderness BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS Katia Gomez traveled to Honduras in the spring of 2009 as part of a volunteer group monitoring water quality and sanitation. The group was tasked with digging trenches and constructing water storage structures in one of the most remote and povertystricken regions in the country — itself the third-poorest nation in Latin America. The trip was straight forward enough — help out some villagers for a week, then return home to the comfort of Southern California, where Gomez was about to graduate with a degree in international studies from UC San Diego. But Gomez couldn’t get her experiences and the Honduran people out of her mind. She especially couldn’t get past the notion that the people in the small remote villages she visited were essentially without a way to get more than a sixth-grade education. Furthermore, the girls in the villages — because of a lack of education and

At about 10:30 a.m., a man entered Ralph’s, walked over to the Well Fargo Bank counter and handed the teller a demand note. No weapon was seen. The teller gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect, described as a black male in his early 40s, 5 feet 6 inches tall with a heavy build and wearing a tan hat and tan jacket, then left out the west doors. No injuries wer reported.

SDUSD bags traditional fare for healthier, gourmet cafeteria food
Russell Moore
Longtime San Diego boating and diving veterans Russell Moore and Ed Harris have recently made a remarkable breakthrough in a boating accident that left four dead when a 37-foot sailing yacht disappeared in the dark of night during the annual Newport-to-Ensenada Regatta in April, marking the first fatalities in the 65-year history of the race. The fate of the boat, named the Aegean, and its occupants has been shrouded in mystery since the boat’s GPS tracking system made its last signal at 1:30 a.m. on April 28 near North Coronado Island, just 15 miles southwest of Point Loma and directly on the rum line to Ensenada. The disaster left in its wake the death of four highly skilled sailors, a debris field of lightweight surface material and many experts in the sailing community scratching their heads. Initial reports about the accident indicated that a much larger vessel or tanker likely struck the Aegean, rendering the boat to a pulp. When Moore — captain of a U.S. Coast Guard-certified commercial RIB (rigid inflatable boat) — heard the reports, however, he was dubious. “I didn’t believe the explanation that was put forth in the popular press, so I kept checking the blogs and researching the story as it was unfolding,” he said. “That’s kind of my backyard. I work right around there almost everyday, and it just became something that haunted me.” His urge to get to the bottom of the mystery led him to enlist the help of his

Choices like an Asian salad with chicken or tofu, Baja fish sandwiches with chipotle mayonnaise, and vegetarian chili bread bowls will be dished out alongside locally sourced fruits and vegetables at schools’ salad bars to ensure students have choices in the cafeteria.
The implementation of healthier food standards is a nationwide initiative brought to fruition by the passing of the federal Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2010. Although SDUSD has already been ahead of the curve by adding salad bars to schools before many other districts, the law enables the SDUSD to expand on its existing menu of healthy meal options and employ its “Farm to School program,” ensuring that students receive the highest-quality lunches, breakfasts and snacks to keep them energized SEE NUTRITION, Page 4

virtually no way of doing so — the nearest high school was a three-hour hike away. When she returned stateside, she headed to the library and checked out books on how to start a nonprofit. She then gathered some friends and asked them to help her figure out how to do some fundraising. By the summer of 2010, Educate2Envision was born. “It started just as an idea,” Gomez said. “But then I got in touch with the right person in the government, who said they would help us implement the program, and we started to get small donations. We were getting amounts of $20, $100 and so on. We would just budget accordingly, and we started building.” What Gomez, now 24 and a graduate student at Boston University, started building was a future for the villagers. With the help of the Honduran secretary of education, she was able to build an education center where villagers could continue their studies — or return to them, as the case may be. “Most students drop out by the third grade because they need to work to support their families,” she said. “Now, we have students going on to high school and we have students who weren’t able to be educated when they were younger. We have some adult students in the second grade getting educated for the first time. And for the first time in decades, there were no sixth-grade girls that were pregnant when they graduated.” The road to education wasn’t all smooth, however. The communities Gomez wanted to focus on are situat-
ed in the country’s wildest and most untouched wilderness, making traveling there a logistical nightmare. Working with the government, too, wasn’t always easy because officials were more interested in helping communities that were easier to get to. That said, once she made it clear she wanted to bring education to these remote communities, Gomez said, the officials fell in line. Even with her organization’s meager finances, they were able to move the project along. “There was some difficulty as far as finances, but that was something to be expected,” she said. “We were a tiny organization with no big donors, and we were working off of the bare minimum, though I was surprised at how far that money could go. We partnered with the government, and they really tried to make a concerted effort.” Where Gomez said she encountered no resistance at all was from the villagers themselves. When it looked like her pet project might take off, Gomez immediately got the residents involved. “We started having a lot of community meetings to gauge their commitment. I wanted them to tell us if they thought it could work,” she said. “The community was overjoyed. No one had ever tried to help them in this area. No one had recognized the core problem of why they were so poor. It was something they had wanted for so long, and I wanted to make sure they were in on it 100 percent.” With the community’s full support, Gomez was able to bring high school to the community for the first time in its history in early 2011. What proved to be almost harder than implementing the program, however, was finding enough students to attend. In order for the government to commit to sup-
plying the high school curriculum, Gomez needed 10 students with a sixth-grade education. She ended up having to pull students from other nearby communities to make up that class of 10. “It was a real eye-opener,” she said. “In a community of over 800 people, we couldn’t even find 10 students who had made it past sixth grade. These communities are just so on the periphery of society. The government does its best, but it focuses more on urban areas and leaves these rural areas alone.” Now that Pajarillos has the prospect of a bright future, does Gomez think she’ll see an exodus of educated citizens from the rural community to the more modern urban ones? “Surprisingly, no,” she said. “When I’ve asked [community members] why education is important to them, they say they see a need to be filled in the communities. It’s not necessarily an individual desire to grow and leave. A lot of them want to stay in those communities and use their knowledge to help develop them.” As for the ability to help that development along, Gomez won’t have to worry much about the financial side of running a nonprofit for quite some time. On Aug. 21, she won the grand prize of $100,000 toward Educate2Envision on VH1’s DO Something! Awards, a pop culture-dominated show that seeks to honor young world-changers 25 and under with a star-studded event. “Winning the $100,000 was mindblowing,” Gomez said. “We’ve functioned off of $5,000 a year, and we’ve been able to accomplish so much with so little. We have no office and we’re all volunteers, but we love what we do

Changing directions Doing it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D.
Should the city level the playing field with ‘Heterosexual Pride Month’ proclamation? WALTER RUSKIN n July, Sutton Porter of Point Loma — producer of the “Rick Amato Show” that can be heard on 1170 KCBQ radio — stood in front of the City Council during its open citizen forum and urged city officials for three minutes that August should be proclaimed “Heterosexual Pride Month” as a counterbalance to the council having declared July as “LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Pride Month” in the city of San Diego. “By declaring July as LGBT month, you have alienated the millions of heterosexuals in San Diego,” Porter said. “So to make it fair, the City Council should declare August as ‘Heterosexual Pride Month.’” That’s what happened at City Hall that day. Now, my question is: how might a “Heterosexual Pride Month” benefit San Diego and how might it bring equality to all different sexual orientations in our great city? We are going to have to make some assumptions of what we can expect to see heterosexuals, like myself, doing during the month of August in celebration of our heterosexuality. I am sure we will have some type of parade, (sponsored by Chick-fil-A?), but maybe not, because many heterosexuals are conservative about their sexuality and aren’t interested in parading it around. Perhaps we would celebrate that the government is acknowledging our lifestyle and protecting it, but then again, what right does the government have to mandate anything — especially when it comes to our choices and freedoms? Most importantly, we would finally be acknowledged as equals to our gay counterparts in society, with recognition of our own “pride month.” And isn’t that the real issue? Heterosexuals just want to be recognized as equals to their homosexual friends and neighbors. But wait, when did same-sex marriage become legal throughout America? After some research on the Internet, I discovered that same-sex marriage is not legal throughout the United States. Oh, so we really were never equal to begin with? Why do we need a ‘Heterosexual Pride Month” again? Here is the reason: Ms. Porter says, “Let’s make it fair! America is a melting pot.” I have pondered Ms. Porter’s words for weeks since I heard her speak to the City Council in regard to “Heterosexual Pride Month.” Let’s not jump to make any negative judgments of Ms. Porter, because she is on the right track with the statement, “Let’s make it fair!” How has LGBT Pride Month made it
I
OPINION
unfair to heterosexuals in San Diego? Ms. Porter’s argument is, “... The city should never support one group over another, because it fundamentally erodes the notion of one society.” Good argument. On the other hand, if a city starts to recognize one group’s fight for equality and then another groups fight for equality, maybe, just maybe we can find equality together. After some thought, I came to the conclusion that perhaps Ms. Porter could be a true trailblazer for equality and is not actually a whining homophobic, as some might choose to see her. By shaking up City Hall and requesting a “Heterosexual Pride Month,” she could be laying the groundwork for fairness and true equality in the future. To prove my theory on this, I believe that the homosexual community of San Diego needs to rally and petition in favor of “Heterosexual Pride Month” with Ms. Porter and her “fairness” fighters. By doing this, heterosexuals who support Ms. Porter’s notion for a “Heterosexual Pride Month” would be able to reach across the aisle of fairness and, with God’s blessing of treating your neighbor as if you would like to be treated, support same-sex marriage. Remember, if we’re going to be fair, we must be fair to all. So what is all the hubbub about marriage anyway? In the eyes of fairness and civil liberties, same-sex marriage and heterosexual marriage is not about God or America or even Rome. Marriage is about the benefits; benefits like taxes (joint filing), employment benefits (insurance coverage), government benefits (Social Security), medical benefits (visiting your spouse during illness), estate-planning benefit and, of course, death benefits. If we are going to be fair as a society, we need to keep the rules consistent. Having a “Heterosexual Pride Month” is important because it will give heterosexuals an entire month to completely understand the benefits we receive by being part of a “protected” couple. That will give us the framework to bridge the fairness gap and extend those benefits to our homosexual countrymen and women because, as Ms. Porter said, “The city should never support one group over another because it fundamentally erodes the notion of one society.” So I say, yeah for equality and please support a “Heterosexual Pride Month,” because without it, equality for all couples may never be achieved and that’s just not fair. — Walter Ruskin is a writer and occasional guest columnist for the San Diego Community Newspaper Group.

hy do some people who have always worked at a secure and steady job suddenly pack up the family and move to a ranch in Montana? Why does the farmer’s son leave his patrimony and move to the city for a factory job? Why does someone start a new business on his or her own with all the risks involved? Why these changes of direction? I know women who have always worked but decided to “drop out” for a while, and others who have been community volunteers all their lives apply for a paying job. Devoted wives and mothers become career women, while career women quit to spend more time with their families. Changing directions gives one an opportunity to live a new life. It is as if we have a second chance to become someone else. Divorce and singleness or re-marriage can give us that opportunity. We can renew ourselves in different relationships or different environments. On the one hand, we always remain the same core person, but on the other hand, we also adapt to our circumstances. So if we have a hostile spouse or boss, we become cautious or defensive; but if we have supportive people around us, we can allow ourselves to be trusting and grow — expanding our horizons. We should not need the proverbial mid-life crisis in order to take a sharp departure. When daily life is beginning to lose its luster, when we wake up in the morning and sigh with discouragement at the day ahead — and this happens week after week, month after month — then it’s time to take a look at what’s missing and what does sound appealing. The grass may indeed only look greener on the other side of the fence, but it’s important to check on
W
that color, maybe it is more to your liking. Which of your friends or acquaintances do you envy? Whose life do you wish you had? What steps do you need to take to live that life? Are there new work- or relationship-related skills to acquire or spruce up? Are there risks to be taken, friends or professionals to consult? I have changed directions several times in my life and have always felt that it gave me opportunities to live several lives: as wife and mother, as middle-aged student, as clinical social worker, as university professor, as author, to live in Europe with one husband and in the United States with another. These life changes allowed me to not only move in totally different environments but to respond to these environments as a new person — learning and testing new skills and behaving in ways unfamiliar to me. In other words, one’s repertoire is enlarged and one becomes richer in life experiences. Travel can do this too, but it’s more limited in time and scope unless, of course, one lives for a period of time in a different culture. Surprisingly, knowledge and skills are translated from one type of work to another. Who we are, what we know and how we think are useful no matter what we do; and the more we know
Most people regret what they have not done, what they have missed, the road not taken, the risk avoided. Very few people are sorry that they tried something new, even if they didn’t succeed the way they expected to. and experience, the more we bring to the table the next time around. Now this sounds like I’m advocating change for change’s sake. I’m not. What I’m advocating is fearlessness. If one’s situation is not satisfying, whether at home or work, and everything has been tried to ameliorate this situation, it is an option to look for something better. Yes, there is risk involved. You may leave a lousy mate or job but not find anything better. And yes, staying in a bad situation does afford you the comfort (and discomfort) of the experience of a familiar situation and familiar pain. Obviously, embarking on a new adventure has no guarantees. But even so, meeting the unknown head on is a challenge that may help uncover new resources within you. Most people regret what they have not done, what they have missed, the road not taken, the risk avoided. Very few people are sorry that they tried something new, even if they didn’t succeed the way they expected to. As a people, we seem to strive for competence in whatever we do. And once a high level of competence is achieved, we look for new opportunities to grow and learn. It’s OK to stay put if satisfied, and OK to move on if not. So try your wings and fly away to unknown destinations, meeting new challenges that will need new skills and solutions, but more importantly, can bring new delights. — Natasha Josefowitz taught the first course in the U.S. on women in management and is the author of 19 books.

The Irving Gill-inspired building, designed by architect Michael Wilkes of Delawie Architects, was constructed with Craftsman-style details ingrained throughout the building’s lighting, furniture and design elements to honor the longstanding history of The Bishop’s School campus’s existing Irving Gill-designed architecture. “Today, it is very gratifying to see this beautiful building behind us and to know that for generations to come, it will be a gathering place for all who love to learn, who want to share their learning, and to study together and to meet with their faculty together,” said library benefactress Betsy Manchester at the dedication. “I challenge the students here to take great care of it, to honor it, to make it a special place for you and those who will follow you here.” Head of School Aimeclaire Roche announced other news to students, parents and visitors at the ceremony. “I am pleased to announce today the funding for two new endowed faculty chairs given through the benchmark funds of an anonymous Bishop’s family. Today, we are pleased to honor the first chair holders of these prestigious endowments,” Roche said. “Head librarian Sarah Lucy will be the inaugural holder of the Benchmark Fund Faculty Chair in Library Science, and Learning Center director Ken Chep will be the inaugural holder of the Benchmark Fund Faculty Chair in Learning Support.” Roche also announced the launch

FUNDRAISING TO COUNTER CUTS When school funding has been reduced for six years in a row as it has in California, local schools learn to get creative in their fundraising efforts. From silent auctions and galas to grant applications and giving campaigns, local schools, PTAs, foundations and area businesses are finding new ways to fund classroom supplies, student amenities and programs to enrich students’ educational experiences. • For a hassle-free way to help raise
funds for local schools, parents can sign up for the free eScrip program, a customer loyalty program where a portion of shoppers’ everyday purchases at participating eScrip merchants and restaurants will go directly to the school of their choice. To enroll, visit www.escrip.com. • For a fundraising effort that is not only good for local schools but also for the global environment, several area schools, like La Jolla and Torrey Pines elementary schools, have launched recycling programs to raise funds or redeem for new school equipment and supplies. DEVELOPMENT DESPITE BUDGET CUTS Despite a shrinking district budget, a couple of newly constructed or revamped facilities have emerged at local schools this year because of the passage of Proposition S — a $2.1 billion bond measure program — in 2008. • La Jolla Elementary School recently completed construction on the campus’ roof and ceiling to rectify structural problems at the facility. • La Jolla High School students will start the school year off with a new scoreboard, just in time for football season. • A wood-beam upgrade at Torrey Pines Elementary is in the project design phase. A contract for the project is expected to be awarded by spring 2013. School offices are open and ready to enroll students. Classes in the district start on Sept. 4.

After their initial defeat, it took three months before Moore and Harris would go back to the site. “Our second dive was the first day in the weather window that we had. It wasn’t that it took us three months to go back down there. It’s the first time that the ocean got still enough to allow access to this,” said Moore. “It takes very little swell to turn this place into a washing machine.” The area, known as “Pukey Point,” is set against sheer cliff faces, several underwater caves, and pockets of shallow water that emit a violent energy. “[The sailors] were there on a pitch black night with 6-foot swells,” said Moore of the night the Aegean went missing. “By virtue of the angle of the land, there was just no way for that boat to survive. If they had hit anywhere else, they might have had a chance.” The island, which is about one mile long, is only roughly 150 yards wide at the tip, making for a narrow target. That small target, however, is exactly where Moore and Harris found a few of the first clues of the missing boat’s location. “When you do a lot of freediving and you’re in the water a lot, your eye really picks up on non-organic matter,” said Harris. “Three months had gone by, so enough of the boat had broken loose that I picked up a couple pieces — small pieces of hose and some other things.” When he and Moore went back a third time, two weeks later on Aug. 22,

During the show some of the students performed a dance routine and singing performance for the audience, and SMSC student Kelly Boland performed a wonderful rendition of the national anthem. A standout segment on the runway featured celebrity models accompanied by the SMSC students, including honorary chair Sally B. Thornton and Good Morning San Diego news anchor Alexis DelChiaro. Leonard Simpson, Fashion Forward creator, produced the show. Outstanding segments included Brit Boy Fashions and Eyes on Fifth, while Karise Design accented the catwalk fashions with semi-precious designs from Juelerie.

Lhuillier is an international designer known for breathtaking bridal collections and gorgeous red carpet gowns (all of the designs are made in America). The must-have color for fall is red, and Lhuillier’s inspiration for using the color came from the Year of the Dragon. Red fire was seen on lava- and volcanoprint fabrics, while other gowns and dresses had gemstone prints and printed lace. Most of the gowns were red and black, showing off an edgier and tough city-girl look. Many of the designs had sheer paneled cutouts, thigh-high slits, velvet burnout fabric and a sprinkle of gold sequin-embellished pieces. The gowns were accented with leather details, like belts and gloves, and the models reflected old Hollywood glamour with stylish hair and painted red lips.

Bistro Pazzo The whole idea of a bistro, says Seto Marselian, owner of Bistro Pazzo, is to offer a neighborhood place where everyone knows you - where great friends and great food meet. Bistro Pazzo is going on its 4th year, located just slightly off the beaten path, just off Prospect Street at 7930 Ivanhoe Ave - and the " hidden gem" nature of the eatery makes it just that much more of a neighborhood treasure. Within walking distance to shopping, hotels, the financial district, and the famous beaches of La Jolla. Open for Lunch and Dinner, Bistro Pazzo is defently the "hidden gem" of La Jolla. Seto Marselian has lived and worked in San Diego since 1976. He graduated from La Jolla Country Day School and went to UC San Diego. After graduating from college, Seto started working in restaurants and clubs in La Jolla, managing top restaurants like; Le Ste Maximes, French Gourmet, Avanti Ristorant, just to name a few. Seto has owned restaurants such as; S'agapo Greek Cuisine, Aurora Trattoria. and now back in La Jolla from his short stay outside the village of La Jolla, to open Bistro Pazzo (crazy bistro). Come enjoy this small neighborhood Italian bistro seven days a week. Moderate prices, great food, good portions, and a vast wine list with crazy service. You can be crazy too, no one will mind, Really!

As most La Jollans know, Mainly Mozart has been bringing fine music to the San Diego area since its 1988 founding by Nancy Bojanic and David Atherton. The organization is known for its uncompromising commitment to quality performances and also for its extensive education programs, exposing young listeners on both sides of the US/Mexico border to the joys of the music of Mozart and the masters. MM’s redefinition in early 2012 tripled its chamber music programming, quadrupled the length of its annual festival and added famed classical pianist Anne-Marie McDermott as its first-ever curator of chamber music. Such a prestigious organization attracts enthusiastic supporters, and MM’s elite support group — generous music lovers who make substantial annual donations — is called Club Amadeus. (In case you were wondering, the famed composer was actually born Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart. Preferring the Latin translation of his Greek middle name, he changed it to Amadeus.) In appreciation of their music aficionados, MM annually hosts Club Amadeus members and their friends at four Sunday afternoon concerts in private residences and exclusive locations. The most recent such event was just four days ago, when well over 100 enthusiastic guests gathered at the stunning La Jolla Farms estate of William and Michelle Lerach. After a welcoming champagne reception, all

Above: The Catalyst Quartet: Karlos Rodriguez (cello), Jessie Montgomery (violin), Karla Donehew-Perez (violin), Christopher Jenkins (viola)
were seated in the home’s grand hall to hear the Catalyst Quartet, comprised of top laureates and alumni of the internationally acclaimed Sphinx Competition for young black and Latino string players. The group was flown in from their Manhattan base, and will also perform in Arizona before returning home. With violinists Karla Donehew-Perez and Jessie Montgomery, violist Christopher Jenkins and cellist Karlos Rodriguez, the superbly talented group first played a new selection dubbed “Strum.” It was written by Montgomery, who’s a composer and music educator, as well as a violinist. They
followed with the four-movement String Quartet in C Minor by Johannes Brahms; then another in F by Maurice Ravel. Their expert play was recognized by the respectful and appreciative audience, and rewarded with a hearty standing ovation afterwards. Kate Leonard and husband Richard Forsyth, both Club Amadeus members, sponsored the concert. Interestingly, she’s just been appointed Honorary Consul General of Japan in San Diego. They’ve both had a long association with the country, and were exchange students in Japan during college. Following the performance, guests enjoyed tasty appetizers and desserts donated, prepared and served by chef Ron McMillan and his company, Catering Solutions. Among the desserts were cupcakes immediately recognizable as the creations of host Michelle Lerach. Formerly a labor attorney, she’s now known as the owner of Cups, a popular organic cupcakery and teaching kitchen in La Jolla — and is on a mission to change the landscape for sustainable farming. But the food wasn’t the only postconcert attraction. Guests were awed by the tremendous collection of African art that fills the sprawling seaside home. Pieces range from very

small to really quite huge, and each sports a sign or label explaining its origin and meaning. Congenial host William Lerach (he prefers to go by “Bill”) conducts informal tours for guests, revealing the stories behind every exotic piece, often including surprising tales of how each was acquired. He began collecting almost 40 years ago. “I bought a piece of African art, and then I bought another one, and the next thing I knew, I had the disease,”
he said. “I really indentify with the indigenous people and what happened to them. It’s a way to preserve that culture, which was a good culture, and the art is important for artistic reasons. So it’s been very rewarding.” It’s a truly fabulous collection, and visiting this home is like touring a lovely private museum with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic curator. As for the impressive botanical collection and aviary outside… well, they will have to wait for a future column.

A portion of the elevated (but mostly flat) lot enjoys unobstructed North Shore views. Other portions enjoy filtered ocean (& North Shore views). Street frontage is in excess of 100 feet. Excellent soil bearing capacity (no special footings required). Schematic plans for a 4900+ sf home including a three car garage by noted La Jolla architect Jim Alcorn have been approved by City of San Diego Development Services staff as being in conformity with the property's CDP. RARE OPPORTUNITY. Not only a CDP (a two year process to obtain) but one without an expiration date!
