RSF Association board votes to change assessment funds allocation

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s 2011-12 assessment rate will remain the same as last year’s, but the allocation of the assessment funds has been tweaked a little bit.

With a 5-2 vote on Oct. 6, the board set the assessment rate for 14 cents per $100 of property valuation. Due to declining assessment revenue, the budgeted allocation of 11 cents for general services and 3 cents for open space was temporarily changed to 11.5 cents to general services and 2.5 cents for open space.

According to the San Diego County Assessor, there has been a 2.53 percent decrease in RSF Covenant property values from last year, a decrease from $4,032 billion to $3,090 billion.

Directors Ann Boon and Larry Spitcaufsky voted against the change in allocation.

Spitcaufsky wanted to insure that the change in allocation was temporary, an opinion shared by his fellow directors. Spitcaufsky voted against the motion to approve, as it did not include a “drop-dead” date for when the change in allocation would expire, which manager Pete Smith said they would work on.

Boon said the recommendation from the finance com-

RSF Foundation celebrates 30 years of growth

BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is marking its 30th anniversary and the public is invited to join in the free celebration of this major milestone.

On Thursday, Oct. 20, from 5-7:30 p.m., at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, a celebratory program has been planned. Foundation directors, staff, community sponsors, partners, donors and grantees will be recognized.

The event includes a video presentation that has captured highlights of the foundation’s work through three decades, with narration by sports commentator Dick Enberg. Paul Thomas, one of the founding directors, is Honorary Chairman of the event.

Charles “Chuck” Yash, with almost a nine-year involvement with the foundation and related charities, currently serves as chairman of the board, overseeing 30 highly diversified directors.

He spoke about the growth

of the foundation and how its outreach has shifted from a community resource to one that is global.

“The first 20 years of the foundation was more of a Rancho Santa Fe groundswell for philanthropy for the local area started by some very charitable people who first set up the foundation,” Yash said. Barry Fitzpatrick, a local estates and trusts attorney, with 12 directors, created what was first named the Rancho San-

ta Fe Community Foundation.

Growth was relatively slow through the first decade, he said. “But with Christy arriving and a good economy in the 1990s, that’s when we were able to make a significant impact.”

Christina “Christy” Wilson has been executive director of the RSF Foundation for 14-and-a-half years. On her watch the organization has seen consistent growth. From 2000 to 2011, the size of the foundation grew from less than $5 million to around $30 million. Since its inception it has placed more than $40 million into regional nonprofit organizations and beyond, with $37 million of that sum remaining in San Diego County. Overall, $100 million has flowed through the foundation. “And the trajectory continues upward,” Wilson said.

The mission of the foundation is to promote See FOUNDATION, page 22

RSF School District selects seating system for Performing Arts Center

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Rancho Santa Fe School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said she is thrilled to be finally nearing the end of the great “chair” search for the Performing Arts Center. After a lengthy quest, they have zeroed in on a UK company called Audience System, which specializes in a retractable seating system that shapes to an

auditorium while providing the maximum number of chairs.

“Luckily we found something that feels right,” Delaney said of the cozy, red fold-up chairs in a system that also easily folds up and retracts in the back of an auditorium, cutting down lengthy set-up and takedown time. “It’s the perfect solution for us.”

“It also makes (the PAC)

a more rentable facility,” said trustee Marti Ritto.

At the Oct. 6 RSF School District board meeting, the board approved going out to bid for the modification of the PAC for the installation of the system— it will require a seven-foot platform toward the back of the center and some new doors. The board also ap-

Buzz: Assessment rate

BY RSF ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT JACK QUEEN Every year at the first meeting in October the board has the task of setting the annual assessment rate Jack Queen for the members’ annual dues. I am pleased to report that for the seventh year in a row the Association has not changed the annual rate of 14 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. However, with the concurrence of the Finance Committee, the board changed how we allocate the 14 cents to make sure we have set aside sufficient funds to cover operating expenses in this year’s budget.

For the last nine years the Association board has set aside 3 cents of the assessment for the Open Space fund. This year, because of a 2.5 percent drop in the overall assessed value

of properties in the Covenant, we have reduced the Open Space allocation to 2.5 cents or a total of $1,000,000 instead of the forecasted allocation of $1,200,000. The difference of $200,000 will be used to offset the reduction in income for operating expenses. A condition of the additional half-cent allocation to General Services is that if there is a surplus at the end of the fiscal year those funds will be placed in the Open Space Fund.

During the discussion at the board meeting concerning the best way to allocate the 14 cents, one of the directors made the statement that we are not unique or immune from the impacts of the current economic downturn. Another director followed with the comment that as a homeowners association we are unique in that we are in an extremely strong financial condition. From my perspective, I can tell you both directors were absolutely correct.

We are not immune to the economic conditions.

We had a 3 percent drop in assessed values last year.

The Association responded by cutting expenses, including a reduction in staff and limiting salary increases.

Both last year and this year, as well, we have worked hard to maintain our high level of service to our members yet cut expenses where we can. Economic conditions and expenses need to be closely watched and will be for years to come.

As for being in great financial shape currently, I couldn’t agree more. In spite of the drop in assessment income, based on the 11.5 cents we have now allocated to General Services, we are projecting a budget surplus of $197,000 for the current year. Additionally, all of our replacement reserves to the tune of $1,340,000 are 100 percent funded and we have an additional $2,400,000 in Free Reserves. For a homeowners association, or for any business for that matter, we are in great financial condition and we are unique.

RSF Association briefs; Oct. 6 meeting Emergency drill at RSF School You may have spotted a helicopter hovering over the village and police activity around R. Roger Rowe School on Oct. 5. The action was part of a staged emergency drill for the school, Rancho Santa Fe Patrol and Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, with participation from the California Highway Patrol and sheriff’s department.

The drill had the agencies run through what would happen if there were a shooter in the village.

RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said it was a “very productive� exercise and they learned a lot that they need to work on to enhance the security of the school. — Karen Billing

More RSF roads could get needed fix Covenant Administrator Ivan Holler said the Rancho Santa Fe Association is working with the county to get more roads resurfaced in the Covenant. Two roads are already funded and scheduled to be repaved—Mimulus and Las Planideras. An item before the County Board of Supervisors in late October or early November could see four additional roads added to the re-paving project. Actual work may not start for several months. — Karen Billing

Local residents take issue with lane reduction plan

BY CLAIRE HARLIN STAFF WRITER Solana Beach officials have a proposal in the works to put Lomas Santa Fe Drive on what they call a “road diet� — a reduction from two lanes to one — a measure many residents say isn’t necessary.

Nearly 100 residents gathered at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club on Oct. 5 to learn about and ask questions regarding the plan, which is aimed to calm traffic and make eastside Solana Beach more pedestrian-friendly. City staff

and almost the entire City Council were in attendance. “I’ve been hearing concerns for years,� said Solana Homeowners Association Group Chairman Steve Goetsch, referring to the intersection of Lomas Santa Fe and Highland Drives. “People have had problems crossing the street, walking baby strollers — there are no real sidewalks.�

The proposed plan would implement roadway improvements like large crosswalks, pop-out side-

walks at intersections and the creation of a sidewalk along the west side of Highland between Lomas Santa Fe and Sun Valley.

The main point of contention for residents, however, is the idea to narrow traffic from two lanes to one lane in each direction on Lomas Santa Fe from Highland to Las Banderas. This change would be done by repainting the stripes in the roadway — a change city officials stress is completely reversible. The plan would also provide off-street parkSee PLAN, page 25

Police, fire departments continue to work on emergency response times

BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Police and fire agencies from La Jolla to Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe are working to maintain or even improve emergency response times in the face of challenges such as increased traffic congestion and tight local government budgets.

Although clogged roads can impede emergency responders, innovations in technology and cooperative agreements between agencies can help them reach people faster, officials said.

In the city of San Diego, whose jurisdiction includes La Jolla and Carmel Valley, the Fire-Rescue Department said response times, are expected to decrease after “rolling brownouts” — in which staffing was reduced across the city for budget reasons — ended on July 1.

San Diego Fire Chief Javier Mainar said that prior to the brownouts, the Fire-Rescue Department responded to emergency calls within 5 minutes 54 percent of the time. He said the department expects to return to that level of service now that the rolling brownouts have ended.

The most recent statistics from fiscal year 2010 show average responses ranging from 5 minutes and 16 seconds (5:16) to 6:33 in La Jolla and from 6:18 to 7:35 in Carmel Valley. (See chart on page 26 for station-by-station times.)

According to Mainar, there are three components to response times by firefighters: first, the time it takes for dispatchers to receive the call and assign it to firefighters; second, the time it takes firefighters to stop what they are doing, put on the appropriate gear and roll out the door; and third, the driving time to the call.

“We really have to get all of those pieces right to do a good job,” he said.

National Response Standard The National Fire Protection Association has established a standard of a first-unit response to emergency calls within six minutes of the call being placed, 90 percent of the time.

According to an NFPA document, the total of six minutes includes one minute for dispatchers to process the call, one

minute of “turnout” time and four minutes of travel time.

Officials said the NFPA standard is a guideline, rather than a mandate for fire response times. Actual response times by fire departments can depend on many factors, such as the location and placement of fire stations, road and traffic conditions in a community and fire department staffing levels.

In order for San Diego to move closer to the sixminute response-time goal, 10 new fire stations and nine roving “fast response

teams” of two firefighters each are needed, according to a city-commissioned study by Citygate Associates LLC which came out in February.

“At the city’s desired firefighting response time performance measures, there are just not enough fire crews and stations in all areas,” said the report.

“It starts by the community identifying what they want the outcome to be,” said Mainar. “You tell us what you want us to accomplish, the fire department, the police department, we’ll tell you the re-

source levels we need to do that.”

Part of the challenge, said Mainar, is that as the city has grown, it has spaced fire stations farther apart. Communities north of Interstate 8, including La Jolla and Carmel Valley, have longer response times, because they have fewer fire stations and more distance between stations.

Response times are faster south of I-8, he said, because more stations were built closer together, he said, Working Together In North County, cooperation between four different fire departments serving Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Del Mar and Encinitas has helped keep response times level, when otherwise they might have risen due to increased population, said Darrin Ward, deputy chief of operations for the four agencies.

Among the cooperative agreements between the departments is sharing battalion chiefs and consolidating management functions such as finance, training and administration. Beyond the four departments, agencies across North County have combined their dispatch centers, and ad-

opted a policy of boundary drops, meaning the closest unit will respond to a fire or medical emergency, no matter where the emergency occurs or which agency the unit belongs to.

“We don’t have city borders like we had 23 years ago when I started,” Ward said. “Even though we’re not one county fire department, the guys on the floor, they act like it…. The closest one to a call goes.”

Computer-assisted dispatching systems have also helped keep response times as low as possible, Ward said. For example, computers have store data for three years’ worth of calls, which the system uses to predict activity during periods of high call volumes, allowing units to be stationed most efficiently.

“It’s kept (response times) steady. With increasing demands on the system, technology and agreements made by the North County fire chiefs… we are finding ways and making agreements to keep things leveled off,” Ward said.

Ribbon-cutting to be held for San Dieguito Park recycled water conversion project The Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 26 at noon at the County of San Diego’s San Dieguito Park to commemorate the conversion of the parks irrigation system to recycled water use.

This event will celebrate the completion of the Park’s conversion and retrofit to 100 percent recycled water irrigation. Portions of the park were converted to recycled water use as part of the initial recycled water system development in 2001.

A recently completed extension of a recycled water pipeline to the park by SFID and the onsite irrigation system retrofit by the County of San Diego will result in the entire park using recycled water for irrigation.

The Santa Fe Irrigation District expanded the recycled water system pipeline down

Highland Avenue to bring recycled water to the lower portion of the Park and to other potential customers in this area. The conversion required coordination among several agencies working together, including the County of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department, the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, and the City of Solana Beach. Converting the park from potable water irrigation to recycled water will save approximately 50 acre feet annually of potable water, or enough water to provide 100 single family homes with water for a year.

The event will be held at the lower portion of San Dieguito Park off El Camino Real, near the gazebo. The public is invited to attend and individuals with questions can call our District office at (858) 756-2424 for more information.

Author brings his vision of the ‘Golden State’ to Library Guild event

BY MATT LIEBOWITZ Contributor California. The name means millions of different things to millions of different people. To the four main characters in author David Prybil’s darkly humorous and touching first novel, “Golden State,” it’s the home, or supposed home, of the American Dream where, as Prybil says, “hope springs eternal” no matter what unexpected hardships they endure.

“It’s the Oz at the end of the yellow brick road, where people think anything is possible,” Prybil said.

Set against the backdrop of the 2003 California gubernatorial election, Golden State, which Prybil will read from on Friday, Oct. 14, at the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild’s Fall Author Talk Series, follows the lives of two men and two women who stake their dreams, and their livelihoods on the change

and renewed hope they believe Arnold Schwarzenegger will bring to Sacramento.

Prybil is careful not to give too much of this fastpaced and engrossing story away, but he says that the characters, in striving towards their “misbegotten dreams” and goals, “don’t necessarily achieve them,” but that, despite their flaws and their skewed ambitions, “they achieve some-

thing.”

About the characters, whose lives and dreams intertwine amidst the election: There’s realtor Missy Carver, working to find the new dream home for the governor and his wife; depressed news reporter Spencer Brine, working up the ranks at the Sacramento Bee; former local high school sports star Todd Tisdale who hopes to befriend Schwarzenegger in order to save his failing tuxedo shop; and tanning salon employee Rowena Pickett, desperate for love.

Prybil chose the 2003 election, a brief but bizarre period in our (recent) history, because it serves as a perfect template upon which he could explore the philosophical underpinnings of the American Dream, and what keeps people “still chugging towards it.”

Following Gray Davis’ term, Prybil said, “it was just crazy. There were no rules. Nobody had ever seen anything like it.”

About Schwarzenegger’s election, he said, “It was such a bizarre, unprecedented thing — it was like a reality show.”

Schwarzenegger, who announced his candidacy on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and, two months

David Prybil later, won the governor’s seat, was a fascinating example of ambition and achievement and all the things the American Dream promises.

“People saw Schwarzenegger, who had no qualifications for the job, win, and they thought, ‘My dreams can come true,’” Prybil said.

Could anything as unusual and groundbreaking as the election that frames his novel happen again?

“Truth is always stranger than fiction,” Prybil said. “I wouldn’t put it past this state for a second.”

In some ways, Prybil’s own life is a version of the same American Dream that spurs his characters along.

Prybil grew up “everywhere but California,” including Massachusetts, Virginia, Florida, Michigan and Iowa. After high school

in Richmond, Va., he went to college at the University of Michigan and then earned his JD and MBA at Indiana University.

But it was a production assistant job on the set of the 1992 film “A League of Their Own” — a “big movie with big stars,” he called it — that set the course for Prybil’s own Hollywood career.

His responsibilities at the time, (he was 23) including scouting antique stores for director Penny Marshall, finding private golf courses for the producers to play on Sundays, and building stadiums and costuming thousands of extras on sets in Indiana, Kentucky and Cooperstown, N.Y. “It was like being part of a traveling circus,” Prybil said of the film.

The experience lit a fire that is still burning: He moved to Los Angeles in 1994, passed the bar — though he said “I knew I wasn’t going to practice law” — and eventually worked his way up the ranks at Paramount studios, from reader to story editor to director of development.

Golden State incorporates the knowledge Prybil’s gained from 15 years of working in the entertainment business — “I

spent years with a Sisyphean stack of screenplays,” he said — as well as an admiration for the storytelling techniques director Paul Thomas Anderson employed in “Magnolia” and those used by Robert Altman in the 1975 film “Nashville.”

And while there’s more than a bit of absurdity surrounding the real-life events that make up Golden State, Prybil is in no hurry to leave his home state.

“I can’t imagine living anywhere else.”

In fact, Prybil is already at work on the follow-up to Golden State, titled “The Works.” Set in Orange County, the novel will again explore the American Dream as seen through three very different sets of eyes: An Internet billionaire building his dream estate overlooking the ocean; the contractor hired for the project; and an illegal immigrant working on the massive job.

The RSF Library Guild’s Fall Author Talk Series is this Friday (Oct 14) at 6 p.m. To make a reservation (and receive the event address), call the Guild office at (858) 756-4780 or email: rsflibraryguild@gmail.com.

Profile

RSF obstetrician creates nonprofit to provide support for families with babies fighting for survival in NICUs

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor He was still in his scrubs when he arrived for our interview at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. He was running late and on two hours sleep after just delivering a baby at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns in Kearny Mesa. But as we walked through the garden to the patio restaurant for a coffee, he paused briefly to take a close-up photo of a flower in the morning sunlight with his cell phone.

After all, his mother recently told him he should take more time to smell the roses — or at least photograph the daisies.

“I’m trying to do that,” he confided.

During the past decade as a practicing obstetrician and gynecologist in San Diego, Dr. Sean Daneshmand, 42, has delivered, he esti-

mates, “thousands” of babies and most recently founded a nonprofit called Miracle Babies that is striving to become the nation’s premier organization providing emotional and financial support to low income families of babies born prematurely and hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Daneshmand was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Both of his parents are from Iran. They had met and married while they were undergraduates at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. His father was studying for his master’s degree in civil engineering at Louisiana State University.

“And that’s where they had me,” Daneshmand chuckled to relate how he came to be born in Baton Rouge.

“Then we went to Iran where I lived from the age of 4 until I was 10-and-a- half,”

Quick Facts Name: Sean Daneshmand, M.D. Distinction: Dr. Daneshmand is an obstetrician/gynecologist and specialist in maternal-fetal medicine out of Sharp Hospital. He is also the founder of Miracle Babies, a nonprofit organization providing counseling and financial support to the families of premature babies.

Resident of: Rancho Santa Fe Born: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 42 years ago Education: B.S. degree in kinesiology, University of California, Los Angeles, 1991; M.D., New York Medical College, Valhalla, N.Y., 1995; residency in obstetrics and gynecology, UCLA, 1999; Fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine, UCSD, Department of Reproductive Medicine, 2002.

Family: He and his wife, Marjan (nee Mortazavi), a bankruptcy attorney, have one daughter, Natalie, 6.

Interests: Tennis and swimming and walking on local beaches.

Favorite getaway: Cancun Recent reading: “Fundamentals of Yoga: A Handbook of Theory, Practice and Appreciation,” by Rammurti S. Mishra and Shri Brahmanada Sarasvati.

Favorite TV: CNN news Favorite film: The classic “Gone with the Wind” Philosophy: “One thing that unites all of us is children.

We all love children. My philosophy is everything we do has to be selfless. Our focus has to be how we make this world a better place for the younger generation…and the common goal has to be for the good of others.”

he said.

His father was a successful civil engineer raising his family in Iran when the Iranian Revolution erupted in 1979 resulting in the overthrow of the monarchy under the Shah and its sudden conversion to an Islamic republic under the Muslim religious leader and politician Ayatollah Khomeini.

“We walked into school,” Daneshmand recalled, “and suddenly boys were segregated from the girls and pages were torn out of our history books. They ripped out whole sections of text. I came home and said ‘Dad, look at our history book. I remember my Dad looked at my mother and said, ‘We’re leaving.’

“And that’s what happened. We just closed the doors. They [the authorities] took everything we had. Everything. We went to Rome.

My sister and I went to an international school there.

Then to Brighton in England where my uncle, who is a psychiatrist, lives. And finally my parents decided to return to the States.”

The family settled in Los Angeles.

Asked what drew him to study medicine, he said: “I don’t know. I just loved it.

Whenever I walked into a hospital, I just got chills. I knew I wanted to be a physician at a very young age.”

In high school and college, he did hospital volunteer work as a “transporter,” wheeling patients from one area of the hospital to another.

“I went to Beverly Hills High School and UCLA for my undergrad, majoring in kinesiology, (the scientific study of human movement and its application to human health), which was a great major in preparation for medical school.”

He earned his medical degree at New York Medical College, Valhalla, N.Y., in 1995.

Initially, he intended to become a vascular surgeon.

In his fourth year in medical school, he did a sub-internship rotation at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles in vascular surgery and trauma surgery.

“And I hated it…I just didn’t fit in,” he said. A friend suggested he do a two-week rotation in maternal-fetal medicine. He did, discovered that he liked it and followed up with a monthlong rotation in gynecology.

That was it. He had found his specialization pathway.

He did a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at UCLA; and, in 1999, came to San Diego for a fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at UCSD’s Department of Reproductive Medicine, which he completed in 2002 and entered a group practice at the San Diego Perinatal Center.

Maternal-fetal medicine specialists, called perinatologists, focus on the medical and surgical management of high risk pregnancies and preterm births.

A preterm or premature birth is one in which a child is born before the 37-week full term gestation and before the fetal development is normally sufficient to allow for life outside the womb without assistance. Premature babies typically spend their first days or weeks in incubators, on ventilators and in NICUs.

In the U.S., prematurity is the leading cause of neonatal deaths with a mortality rate of 25 percent.

It’s stressful enough for a woman to deliver a baby prematurely, Daneshmand said, and it’s even tougher when she can’t afford to take time off work or to buy gas to drive and visit her baby daily in an NICU as the infant struggles through its first few precarious weeks of its life.

“And women are strong,” he added. “Women are really incredible. This practice has increased my respect for women so much more because I see them at one of the toughest times in their lives…Everyone wants a very healthy pregnancy and many times that doesn’t happen.”

Moved by the tears of one of his patients whose husband was laid-off work and she was faced with the prospect of not being able to afford time off from her job to visit her daughter in the NICU, he thought, ‘That’s it.

It’s time to get off my butt, and do something to help,’” he recalled.

“So I called 14 former patients (volunteers) and some co-workers, met with them on a Saturday in my

office, and the concept of Miracle Babies was born.”

Since its inception in 2009, Miracle Babies has helped more than 500 families of NICU preemies, providing everything from baby supplies and rent assistance to sibling childcare and gas vouchers.

Eligible families are referred to Miracle Babies by social workers.

“We give assistance based on the estimated length of a baby’s stay in a NICU and the family’s debt and income. To qualify, a baby’s NICU stay has to be a minimum of two weeks. We give grants of up $2, 500,” Daneshmand said.

“If you want to be able to help others, you have to drop your ego. I think ego is probably our own worst enemy, too much ego. You have to realize that every person deserves a good chance in life. I believe we’ve come to this world to really enjoy the abundance of it all, to enjoy looking at these flowers, looking at this scenario; this is beautiful; enjoy my cup of coffee with you. It’s our duty and responsibility to not only live well, but to give back.”

His own daughter, Natalie, now almost 7, was born prematurely at 34 weeks gestation through a Caesarian section after complications in his wife’s pregnancy.

“And thank God, everything was fine,” he said. His daughter did not require treatment in a NICU. Daneshmand envisions establishing Miracle Babies’ programs nationwide.

Most recently, with a $410,000 grant, Miracle Babies launched a two-year demonstration nutrition-andgym program called “Healthy Mothers for Healthy Children” that will focus on 50 low-income women each year who are overweight or obese and are at risk of preterm delivery and other health complications.

Miracle Babies will hold its third annual fundraising ‘5K Walk/Run’ on Sunday, Nov. 13, at Mariner’s Point.

Community invited to RSF Education Foundation’s Halloween Parade & Carnival Oct. 28 The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation invites all community members to join school families at the annual Halloween Parade and Carnival on Friday, Oct. 28. The fun kicks off with a costume parade beginning promptly at 1 p.m., followed immediately by the carnival held on the upper field of the school. Students and their families in grades K through 6th grade will gather in the school gym at 12:45 p.m.

Skeletons, witches, princesses and superheroes will parade from the gym, through the town, and back to the school. Parents are asked to walk with their children.

Immediately following the parade, the carnival will begin (1:15 p.m.) on the upper field. As always, the carnival will include a variety of games and activities. Each class at the school stages a booth, to include a rock climbing wall, karaoke, a High Striker, Balloon Blast, and much more. Countless parent volunteers facilitate plenty of games and

prizes for everyone.

This year all food, including the ever popular Cake Walk and bake sale, will be located on the lower school blacktop. To assist the school with maintaining the quality of the newly installed upper field, food will not be served on the field. Food will include Hot Dog on a Stick, lemonade, pizza, pop corn and cotton candy. Parents are asked to help their children remain on the school blacktop when eating and keep the field free from food, drink and candy.

Admission is $20 and tickets will be sold in the school courtyard after school Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 26 and 27, and at school pick-up and drop-off locations. Tickets will also be available on the day of the event and the price remains the same, $20. All funds raised from the event go toward the Education Foundation’s annual grant to the school.

Steve Jobs: You will be missed

BY MARK DAUGHTERS, INTERLACED INC. Steve Jobs passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 5. I wanted to thank him.

I worked in Apple retail for several years.

There were two big highlights for me. The first was eating lunch at a table next to Steve when I went up to Genius training. The second was having Steve forward a positive customer’s email about me to Ron Johnson (the head of Apple retail) with nothing more than a smiley face.

Even though that is as close as I’ve gotten to Steve, I feel like I’ve lost a close family member. He has given the world a lot. Personally, I owe him greatly. My past and current jobs would not exist without Steve.

Many of my favorite films are from Pixar, which also was created by his genius.

Electronics, movies, and more would be very different or not exist if he hadn’t been behind them.

Its hard to imagine how bland this world would be without his accomplishments.

For me, it’s hard to imagine what my life would be without his work.

Here is a great quote from Steve that has inspired me to make the most of my life: “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

For those of you in a similar position in your company, here is a great story about Steve from Vic Gundorta who works at Google. Shows that even the CEO should pay attention to the minor details.

“One Sunday morning, Jan. 6, 2008 I was attending religious services when my cell phone vibrated. As discreetly as possible, I checked the phone and noticed that my phone said “Caller ID unknown.” I choose to ignore.

After services, as I was walking to my car with my family, I checked my cell phone messages. The message left was from Steve Jobs. “Vic, can you call me at home? I have something urgent to discuss,” it said.

Before I even reached my car, I called Steve Jobs back. I was responsible for all mobile applications at Google and, in that role, had regular dealings with Steve. It was one of the perks of the job.

“Hey Steve — this is Vic”, I said. “I’m sorry I didn’t answer your call earlier. I was in religious services, and the caller ID said unknown, so I didn’t pick up.”

Steve laughed. He said, “Vic, unless the Caller ID said ‘GOD’, you should never pick up during services”.

I laughed nervously. After all, while it was customary for Steve to call during the week upset about something, it was unusual for him to call me on Sunday and ask me to call his home. I wondered what was so important?

“So Vic, we have an urgent issue, one that I need addressed right away. I’ve already assigned someone from my team to help you, and I hope you can fix this tomorrow” said Steve.

“I’ve been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I’m not happy with the icon. The second O in Google doesn’t have the right yellow gradient. It’s just wrong and I’m going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that okay with you?”

Of course this was okay with me. A few minutes later on that Sunday I received an email from Steve with the subject “Icon Ambulance.” The email directed me to work with Greg Christie to fix the icon.

Since I was 11 years old and fell in love with an Apple II, I have dozens of stories to tell about Apple products. They have been a part of my life for decades. Even when I worked for 15 years for Bill Gates at Microsoft, I had a huge admiration for Steve and what Apple had produced.

But in the end, when I think about leadership, passion and attention to detail, I think back to the call I received from Steve Jobs on a Sunday morning in January. It was a lesson I’ll never forget. CEOs should care about details. Even shades of yellow. On a Sunday.

To one of the greatest leaders I’ve ever met, my prayers and hopes are with you Steve. —Vic” I’ll miss you Steve. Thanks for showing us all not to settle for what’s easy, and to focus on what your heart says is right.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

‘Lead From the Heart,’ advises business expert in book

BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH Contributor When the Conference Board of New York in 2009 reported that only 45 percent of American workers were satisfied with their jobs, a continuous 22-year decline since the indicator was initiated, Mark Crowley decided to do something about it.

For Crowley, who had spent the last 25 years professionally leading one successful team after another in retail banking and who has lived locally for the same period, the statistic made no sense, especially at a time when the highest priority for business is to get the most out of its precious resources.

With the age-old axiom that “a happy worker is a productive one” in tow, Crowley penned a 137page book, titled “Lead from the Heart,” to prove that simple changes in management style can matter more than money in propelling employees to the peak of performance and thereby maximizing a company’s bottom line.

“More than half the people hate going to work,” Crowley said. “Their needs have changed and leadership hasn’t. Leader-

“The information I’ve gathered, from my experience and scientific research, is a breakthrough for business and I don’t think business understands what I’ve learned. If they understood, they’d realize that this is the way to business nirvana.”

The book’s premise is straightforward: A leader must listen to his/her

heart, as much as his/her mind. Employers who take into account the individual needs of workers on the job and who treat employees as human beings, instead of components of the operation, outperform their competitors in the market.

Numerous studies from leading universities and research organizations substantiating the claim fill the pages. Yet Crowley acknowledges that his remedies face an uphill battle, not because of present practices, but past prescriptions.

“I realized that (using) the heart was traditionally seen as being soft, sentimental, and the antithesis to success in business,” he said. “There’s an historical bias against it. Business doesn’t really operate that way. Yet the more I helped other people, the more successful I became ... people know this is the right thing. Most people tell me, I’m glad someone finally said it.”

Crowley said he started writing in early 2009.

About midway through the book, he wondered whether there was any scientific evidence to support his assertions that showed in the physiology of the human

heart. However, Crowley got no responses from a number of cardiologists to whom he had written.

During a routine medical examination, Crowley said his doctor directed him toward Dr. Mimi Guarneri, founder and director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla. To Crowley’s amazement, he discovered revolutionary research over the past 20 years, which indicates that the physical heart might have a form of cognizance that works in tandem with the brain to direct the body.

“For 300 years, they didn’t believe the heart had any function except as a pump,” Crowley said. “I fell upon information that not only was unknown in business, but was generally not known by the public. It profoundly validated what I had to say.”

Crowley completed the manuscript by March of this year and the book was released on Aug. 31. In the brief month and a half since its release, Crowley said interest has come from places as diverse as China, Russia, the United Kingdom and Japan.

“The first CEO who responded to my book was

‘Lead from the Heart: Transformational Leadership for the 21st Century’ by Mark Crowley, Balboa Press, 137 pages, 2011, www.markcrowley. com someone in India asking if I would come and speak,” Crowley said. “The message is universal. This is something that anyone in any business, any organization, can adopt and immediately become effective.”

A book launch party at the Riford Library in La Jolla was attended by more than 100 people, according to branch manager Catherine Greene. The event was so popular that a second will be held there on Wednesday, Nov. 9.

“Leading and heart are not often in the same sen-

tence,” Greene said. “That kind of thinking is the most advanced, sophisticated and humane you’ll see, in my opinion. A lot of these popular self-help books [argue] that all these issues that consume our lives can be solved in seven or 10 steps. That’s pretty insulting to people. Or it ought to be.”

With the book barely out of the gate, Crowley plans to augment his message with speaking engagements, consulting, and blogging at markcrowley. com. He said he can’t rest until the lessons of his life lead to a healthier, heartier, business environment.

“It really became the fulfillment of my life to write this book,” he said.

“This was the journey I was supposed to take. My ambition is to move this message and change the way we do things in America. I want to be the voice of that ... sooner or later, people are going to understand that you’ve got to bring heart into this.

“If you open your mind to it, you’ll immediately have productive, loyal workers. You move pretty quickly once you accept it.” For more information, visit www.markcrowley.com

“We have some really amazing new and used items being offered. One club member is selling a large collection of antique masks from around the world. There will be jewelry, furniture, antiques, and oriental rugs. The list of items is extensive and incredible,” said co-chair Peggy Brooks.

“Years ago the Garden Club sponsored an annual rummage sale. We are hoping to revive that tradition this year, but with a twist. This year club members are renting booths and selling their own cherished items. The sale will raise money for the Garden Club and help our members clean house as well,” said Garden Club President Helen DiZio.

It seems like everyone has a little stash of old settings, class rings, single earrings, broken chains, even gold teeth in their jewelry box. Now is the time to trade them in for cash. The Gold Mountain rep will sit with you, weigh the gold, check the spot price on the computer and if you agree on their appraisal, they will cut you a check. In addition, they will donate 10 percent above your price to the Garden Club,” DiZio explains.

improve their odds. Today we profile Ingrid Qua, who owns her own business with her husband, and Lisa Hinkley, who owns Green Flash Brewing Company with her husband Mike.

A conversation with Ingrid Qua: 1. When were you diagnosed?

I was diagnosed mid-September of 2010.

2.) What type of treatment did you receive?

I went through a regiment of chemotherapy and Herceptin and was extremely lucky to be one of the last people accepted to take part of a clinical trial of Avastin.

3.) Was there any one person/thing/routine that served as your rock during this time?

If so, please describe.

I had lost my mother, a world class triathlete (Barbara Warren) to a tragic accident two years prior. She had been in a triathlon and fell off her bicycle and broke her neck. She was paralyzed from her nose down, unable to speak but fully conscious. She decided to end her life after three days knowing chances of survival where slim. I was the one who told the doctors to turn off the machines and laid beside her as she passed away.

Right before she slipped away, the impossible happened — she turned her head towards my sister and I and smiled. I knew she was going to be waiting for me in a much better place after that and seeing how she was not afraid to let go. When I was diagnosed and realized the ultimate price of this disease was my life and after seeing my mother unafraid to let hers go, I knew whatever happened I wouldn’t be afraid. That is called faith. After that, every time I was in pain or sick, unable to get out of bed due to the treatment, I would think of how my mother endured those three days in the hospital and it would give me the strength to keep on — along with that the pain and guilt of not being able to be there for my children.

4.) How did this diagnosis impact your finances? Did you have any insurance struggles?

Owning our own business we were unable to afford health insurance for many years.

Luckily, a little over a year prior to my diagnosis we got what I call catastrophe insurance just in case something just like this happened.

We still have had an $8,000 deductible per year per person. Since I was diagnosed in September I had to pay out of pocket up until

now, close to $20,000. But all I can think is thank God I was able to have the amazing care I have received from Sharp Rees Stealy.

My oncologists, who are on the forefront of cancer treatment, the clinical trials, my surgeon who performed my mastectomy, and the most amazing nurses who helped me durIngrid Qua ing each one of my treatments. They have cared so much — they have all now become my family. That is the type of support a cancer patient needs to help them survive this crap. It is these professionals who know and have seen what you are going through that, with their care and understanding, can help ease your angst and, strange as it sounds, make it a better experience. From my understanding, the cost alone of the drugs for my chemotherapy is close to $60,000 per treatment.

5.) Did this diagnosis impact your work?

If so, how?

I was lucky to own my own business and have my husband as my partner and a great staff who took up the reigns when I was unable to come in to work. But I tried to work as much as possible since being in bed only made me feel worse.

6.) Is there anything about this experience you want people to know, that they may not know or is not commonly known?

People know they never want to hear the doctor utter the word cancer, but they do not understand the full extent of the word. First, it takes your health, then everything that makes you feel like a woman — your breasts and your hair — away from you. Finally, it takes you and your family, throws it in a blender and crushes it beyond recognition then hands it back to you wrapped in a pretty little pink ribbon. But I also want people to know there is help.

Our newest line of adjustable beds and mattresses has just arrived.

A whole new world of organic luxury.

Rancho Santa Fe native’s line of leather handbags a hit

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor A purse party at the ocean-front home of Del Mar’s Jenny Craig on Oct. 2 brought together friends, family and neighbors. The purses were part of a premier collection designed

by Craig’s granddaughter, Sydney Weinger, who debuted her line of leather handbags — manufactured under her Morton & Hudson label — at the event.

The collection sold out.

Weinger, 24, a former Rancho Santa Fe resident, moved to New York two years ago – after she graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in advertising – to study fashion design at Parsons New School of Design, she said. She graduated with an associate’s degree in fashion design, but unlike her student peers, who struggled to get employment in a depressed market, Weinger took a page out of her family’s book and took on the role of entrepreneur. Her father, Duayne Weinger, owns the San Diego County

franchise Hollywood Tans, and her grandmother, Jenny Craig, is famed for her weight loss centers.

At Parsons, Weinger took an accessory class.

“That’s when I got really excited about designing handbags. The first one I designed was really well received by my peers. That gave me the push to start my business and to create a line,” she said. And thus Morton & Hudson was born, taking its name from the cross streets where Weinger lives in New York’s Greenwich Village.

The purses are unique with a dual use and a timeless appeal. They may be used for day or night, and for any season, no matter what the weather is, said Weinger. “They are simply designed for women on-the-go. They are lightweight and easy to pack and I didn’t use any hardware or branding, I wanted the leather to speak for itself.” A bicoastal product – the line sells in San Diego and New York – it was important that the designs fit

both climates.

To accomplish this, Weinger utilizes the highest quality Italian leather in natural tones, such as moss green, ash grey, tan and merlot. Inspired by the energy in New York, she has the purses crafted in Los Angeles. “I really wanted to keep the manufacturing onshore, as I also want to promote jobs in the U.S.,” she explained.

Fashion, especially for women, is cyclical, said Weinger who looked at Yves St. Lauren’s men’s tailoring for a timeless look.

This inspired her purse designs which incorporate geometric lines that are clean and minimal, transcending design trends.

Even her brand logo is modest with a simple capital “M” embossed into the leather. “The look is more toward the classics, but updated for today’s woman,” she said.

Each bag is oversized — to fit today’s need to carry larger items like a camera or cell phone – and is named for a place that Weinger has visited. Cur-

rently there are three different styles offered in a variety of colors: The Village, a clutch named for Greenwich Village; The Marais, a shoulder bag named for an area of Paris; and The Kensington, an oversized envelope clutch, named for a district of London.

Weinger expects to move back to Los Angeles as her business blossoms, although she says that New York is energizing and inspires her. The drive and ambition of her grandmother Jenny Craig, who has visited Weinger in New York to advise her, has helped Weinger move forward with confidence in her business. Weinger is currently creating a Holiday line available in November that includes totes, a satchel and more clutches.

“I’m constantly thinking about what’s next,” she said.

FOUNDATION continued from page 1 philanthropy by assisting donors to build assets for their chosen charitable purposes, to enhance the awareness of ways to give purposefully, to explore and evaluate local and regional charitable needs, and to build endowments for charitable organizations, according to its website. It helps donors give strategically, purposefully, confidentially and with impact.

Unlike other nonprofit corporations, the foundation has been able to weather the economic downturn of the past few years due to an informed and intelligent investment committee. “It has been very conservative,” Yash said.

As executive director, Wilson is assisted by three part-time staff members: Debbie Anderson, programs manager; Dan Beals, finance manager; and Nancy Hashim, administrator of the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund. They are headquartered in offices inside

For kids, ages 5-12, the Union Bank building on Paseo Delicious in the Ranch’s historic village.

Union Bank has donated that space rent free for the past 13 years, “An enormous in-kind donation,” said Wilson.

The foundation’s continued success lies largely with community volunteers who serve as directors. “The board has taken its job and its role seriously,” said Wilson. In addition, board members actively look into the community to find out where there is a need and try to fulfill that need.

An example is the Rancho Santa Fe’s Women’s Fund, founded seven years ago by Gayle Gillies-Mize, who was the foundation’s board chair at that time. The group has independently gifted funds of over $1.6 million to charities – countywide – with the greatest need.

Another example is the Armed Forces Interest Group, started by Greg Hillgren, an initiative that is establishing a framework for a regional collaborative effort

San Diego Botanic to provide on-going financial and volunteer support for the San Diego military community.

“We have also started a real estate fund, that Greg Hillgren chairs, for those who want to make a charitable gift of real estate,” said Yash.

A critical dimension to the foundation’s success is the connectivity of all the board members to the community and their involvement with other charities, especially outside of the Ranch, said Yash. “As such, funds have been able to flow out of Rancho Santa Fe, into the county and across the nation and beyond.”

Through the internet, the foundation is able to direct donors to nonprofit organizations who provide emergency aid around the world.

“For Hurricane Katrina we raised funds here and then got those funds to Louisiana,” Wilson said. “We are able to vet these organizations and within hours have something up on our website to let our donors know

The birthday event has taken about a year to organize. The program will begin at 5:15 p.m. and will last about 30 minutes. “It will be an opportunity for those involved with the foundation over the years to look back and to see how far it has come since those formative stages,” said Wilson. “It’s a true celebration and a way for people to come together and share their stories.”

A spotlight will also be shone on the future with the event serving as an opportunity for newcomers to learn more about the foundation.

ty-wide survey (results showed 19 percent ranked open space as the top priority) and until the board reviewed the open space policy, which Boon said they have not done.

Boon was also worried about money spent this year out of free reserves and that if the current assessment rate doesn’t cover projected expenses then the additional funds would have to come out of free reserves.

“If we reallocate the assessment, we may make ourselves feel a little better in the short run but we are not really facing out long-term problem of stagnant and declining revenues,” Boon said. “If we leave the general services allocation at 11 cents we are sending a stronger message to our administrative staff that it must look for ways to reduce expenses.”

Director Anne Feighner also referenced the results of the survey, which showed 86 percent of the Ranch approved of the services the Association provides. She noted that the Association should be careful before they cut services without discussing it with the community, “slash and cut” not always being the best method.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF’s Mantooth Films brings popular familyfriendly tween book franchise to big screen Mantooth Films recently announced the completion of their most recent film project, “DEADTIME STORIES for Kids, Grave Secrets.” Based on the popular tween book titles “DEADTIME STORIES for Kids, Grave Secrets” is the first of an upcoming series of films co-produced by Mantooth Films and filmmaking brothers Scott and David Hillenbrand (National Lampoon’s Dorm Daze franchise).

Partnering with best-selling authors Annette and Gina Cascone, Mantooth Films is helping resurrect the popular ‘90s “DEADTIME STORIES for Kids” book series, bringing Grave Secrets to the big screen to entertain a whole new generation.

In keeping with the traditions of the print series, Grave Secrets film thrills are cool and creepy, funny and frightening, but without the violence or gore. Three-time Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Diane Ladd headlines the film, along with Disney star Jennifer Stone (Wizards of Waverly Place, Secondhand Lions).

This is the third film project for the Rancho Santa Febased Mantooth Films this year, with the thriller “Killer Holiday” in post production and the social drama “Bone Game” currently in development. The perfect filmmaking trifecta, Mantooth Films flaunts the Emmy award-winning production talents of Tonya Mantooth, the new business strategies of former corporate executive Dale Strack and the marketing, brand and media savvy of Anthology’s Patti Judd.

“We had a blast working on this film,” said executive producer Tonya Mantooth of Mantooth Films. “That old saying about never working with child actors didn’t hold up on this project. The entire cast and crew were simply amazing. And Diane Ladd is powerful and phenomenal in this role. She had us laughing, crying and even a little spooked by her performance.”

In coordination with the films, Tor Books/Starscape (MacMillan Group) will publish the Cascone’s updated book series in hardcover, softcover and digital, beginning with Grave Secrets (the first of six new titles) in January 2012.

Grave Secrets will kick off with a limited theatrical release before premiering worldwide on television, DVD and new media. Mantooth Films is also currently in final casting and preproduction on the second film of the revived series, “The Witching Game.”

Science fiction writers sought for next Clarion Workshop Established in 1968, the six-week Clarion Writers’ Workshop on the UCSD campus is widely recognized as a premier training ground for aspiring writers of fantasy and science fiction.

Each year, 18 students, ranging in age from late teens to those in mid-career, are selected from applicants who have the potential for highly successful writing careers.

Students are expected to write several new short stories during the workshop, and to give and receive constructive criticism. Instructors and students reside together in campus apartments from June 24 to Aug. 4.

PLAN continued from page 2 ing for those visiting the nearby San Dieguito County Park.

Jim Sleeper was one of many at the meeting who voiced concern. He said he’s been running down Lomas Santa Fe to Fletcher Cove for eight years, and “there’s not that many people out there.”

“You’re creating an issue that’s not there,” he said, garnering applause from the audience.

Some residents were concerned about the cost to the city — about $400,000 — but City Manager David Ott assured them that the

The 2012 instructors and writers in residence will be Jeffrey Ford, Marjorie Liu, Ted Chiang, Walter Jon Williams, Holly Black, and Cassandra Clare.

The workshop application period is Dec. 1 to March 1, 2012.

Applicants must submit two short stories with their application. Several scholarships are available (including a scholarship from Calit2 to support a UCSD student).

project would be funded by stimulus dollars designated specifically for roadway maintenance and construction.

“It doesn’t add a penny to the deficit of Solana Beach,” Ott said.

Ott referred to the area as “a prominent gateway into Solana Beach,” and said the project is in part a response to concern about drivers speeding down Lomas Santa Fe. Others said they like the current vibe of east Solana Beach and don’t want to add more pavement.

The most resounding opinions, however, were those concerned that reducing the number of lanes will

cause traffic to back up, possibly prompting drivers to cut through Via Mil Cumbres and making that residential street more crowded and dangerous.

One resident said lane reduction should not be applied to Lomas Santa Fe because it is a “major artery.”

“How can we deprive Encinitas, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and other communities of a major artery to and from the coast?” he said, prompting applause.

Proposed changes would require approval by the City Council to be implemented, and city officials said they would inform residents when the issue comes up for a vote.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RESPONSE continued from page 3 part in response times, he said.

Rancho Santa Fe tends to have longer response times because each station covers 9.4 square miles. The entire city of Del Mar is just 2 square miles in area, while Solana Beach covers 3.6 square miles.

Overall, Rancho Santa Fe has a lower call volume than more urbanized areas, and is mostly residential, while in contrast the cities have more commercial areas and taller buildings, Ward said.

Getting police to emergencies Capt. Al Guaderrama, who heads the San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division, which includes La Jolla, University City, Clairemont, Pacific Beach and Mission Beach, said the average response time for emergency calls in his division is between 7 and 7:30 minutes — a statistic that has held steady in recent years. Break out police calls in La Jolla and you get a slower response of 9:02, according to department statistics.

In 2010, the citywide average police response time for emergency calls was 6:30 minutes, said Capt. Lori Luhnow, of Northwestern Division, which includes Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights and North City and other areas. Carmel Valley —at an average of 6:46 — is right in line with the citywide figure.

had the lowest call volume among the city’s nine divisions, Lunhow noted.

In the incorporated cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach, which contract with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for police services, responses came more quickly: averaging 4 minutes in Solana Beach and 4:36 in Del Mar. Rancho Santa Fe also utilizes sheriff’s services for emergencies, but uses CHP for traffic, so comparable times aren’t available. However, the community’s response time for calls such as robbery, vehicle theft and burglary came in at 16:42.

According to John Firman, director of research with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the group does not have guidelines for police response times due to two factors: the significant differences between 18,000 police agencies across the United States, and the many variables that go into how police respond to emergencies, and how quickly they respond, such as their vehicles, equipment, staffing, number of calls, type of calls, geography, terrain, etc.

“Our position is this is a uniquely local number based on the satisfaction of police and their citizens,” Firman said.

Impact of Traffic and Road Conditions Traffic is one of the key factors that affect response times, especially during morning and afternoon rush hours, Guaderrama said.

The layout of a neigh-

borhood’s roads can also have an impact. Detective Gary Hassen, a San Diego police spokesman, said average response times in La Jolla are higher than in Carmel Valley, and part of the reason is that La Jolla is an older community, with daily traffic bottlenecks at its major entrance and exit points.

“There’s significant geographical barriers you have to deal with, and traffic congestion,” he said. “That’s why some communities have faster response times than others.”

The Public Can Help Authorities can do their part to reduce response times, but there are some things residents can do as well.

With the proliferation of cell phones, many people grab their cell phone to make a 9-1-1 emergency call, even when a landline is nearby, said Ward. But a landline call can often be dispatched more quickly, because the caller’s address is displayed on the dispatcher’s monitor and does not have to be typed in.

“If you’re in a home or business and there is a regular phone, use that phone,” Ward said. “It’s quicker for them to get the guys or gals rolling to your house.”

Another thing people can do is to pull over when a fire truck, ambulance or police car approaches from behind with its lights and siren on, officials said.

“If you see that patrol car with its lights and siren, we’re going to need you to pull over to the right shoul-

der,” Northern Division’s Guaderrama said.

Another way residents can help police respond more quickly to emergencies is to use the department’s non-emergency line, (619) 531-2000, or website to report thefts and other less serious crimes, Luhnow said.

“If they use those services, it’s quicker for them and it doesn’t tie up an officer to come take a report, leaving them more available for proactive work or emergency calls,” she added.

Crime Rate in Decline Budget cuts have challenged police managers to do more with less in recent years, but favorable crime trends have helped — a report issued earlier this year by the San Diego Association of Governments noted that crime in San Diego County hit a 30-year low in 2010, at 3.61 violent crimes and 21.04 property crimes per 1,000 residents.

In spite of the downward trend in crime statistics, police seem to be keeping as busy as ever, said Capt. Sherri Sarro of the Encinitas Sheriff’s Station, crime-fighting headquarters for Encinitas, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach.

“Even though crime is down, it doesn’t mean calls for service are down,” Sarro said.

“I think overall, we’re still doing what the public expects of us, and using our deputies in the best way we can,” she said.

SEATING continued from page 1 proved a proposal from Audience Systems, not to exceed $320,000.

“We will get the fully functioning theater that was intended and get the flat floor,” said Delaney of the multi-functional space.

Not putting permanent seats in the PAC was important as the school wanted to maintain the flexibility of a flat floor in the elementary and middle school setting. A retractable system gives them multiple options.

Debi Vaughn-Cleff, of Webb-Cleff Architecture and Engineering, recently took a trip to Virginia to see a working Audience System theater. Set up took just 10 minutes with one man giving a slight tug on a cord that allowed the seat system to roll out.

Taking the system down was just as easy—it only took one person and it retracts itself into a sevenfoot-wide box.

Delaney is working toward having a 300-seat theater with 20-inch fold-up chairs. There will be wooden railings, wide aisles and LED-lit steps. The board still has to decide on the seat backs being black plastic or wood and also on the flooring (either carpeting or a black “sports floor”-type covering).

To help raise money for the seating, Delaney plans to sell seats for $1,000—a donor name plate will go on the back of the seat. They have already sold 70 of the 300 seats through the 320 Club promotion and she is optimistic they can sell the rest.

“I feel like these are the kind of chairs people will like to put their name on,” Delaney said.

With the system they will also be purchasing 100 black chairs without arms that musicians can use during instrumental performances.

Delaney said she is looking at doing the pre-installation work of the platform and doors over winter break and ordering the seating system in February or March.

New clerk chosen After Jim Cimino’s departure, the board needed to elect a new board clerk. On Oct. 6, the board selected Marti Ritto.

David Ellenstein discusses North Coast Rep’s 30th season

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY SARA APPEL-LENNON Contributor David Ellenstein, artistic director of North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach (launching its 30th season this month), said he knew he wanted be an actor at age four, when he saw how much his dad, Robert Ellenstein, enjoyed working in theater.

His father performed in stage plays, TV series, and films, including the role of Federation Council President in “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.”

“My father was a pretty well-known actor, director, teacher, artistic director, and the main mentor for me. He believed in the power of theater to affect the world in a positive way,” Ellenstein said. “He understood that plays, with their ability to elicit laughter and tears, promote discussions that encourage broader perspectives and tolerance of others. Ultimately, theater is about community and about the way we treat each other.”

Ellenstein also named Geoffrey Sherman, Ala-

actor and requesting input after rehearsals.

“In my directing, I strive to be constructively honest,” he said. “My style is one of a benevolent des-

pot.

“Any good actor knows that he can’t see what he is doing, so ultimately he doesn’t know how it’s being perceived.

The more he has done it, he has an idea, but he can’t actually see it. He needs someone who he trusts to tell him what’s coming across.

“Consider this quote on the subject

by Sir Laurence Olivier’s counterpart, Sir Ralph Richardson, when he spoke to a young director: ‘My boy I’ve been doing this a long time and I can be very, very good, but I can also be very, very bad, and when I am, you must tell me.’ ” Ellenstein said he offers feedback tailored to how and when an actor needs to hear it; being direct works well with some actors, others prefer “ricochet notes.”

That’s where the actor who needs to hear the comments receives them without knowing they are meant for him or her.

“Actors are fragile and very sensitive creatures,” Ellenstein said. “But I’m the advocate for the audience in the room.”

Ellenstein said he usually leaves NCRT acting to the actors, however he recently cast himself in two plays: “Talley’s Folly” and “My Name is Asher Lev,” to critical acclaim.

Looking ahead, Ellenstein said plans are underway to either locate NCRT to a new venue or expand the current one, which Olive and Tom Blakistone founded in 1982. He said productions are inhibited by the facility’s lack of backstage wing space, and an indoor path for actors to

move from one side of the stage to the other without the audience noticing.

“Still, we do amazingly well in the confines we have,” Ellenstein insisted.

NCRT, a subscription- and donationbased theater, operates on $1.7 million annually, and under a Small Professional Theatre Contract with Actors Equity Association. Its youth programs, which generate less than 10 percent of the budget, include a three-week summer drama camp, acting lessons for ages 7-17, and six performances of each of its four plays.

Busy planning the theater’s 2013 season, Ellenstein said he is creating a master list of 100-120 plays from which he’ll pick the most marketable that satisfy his artistic inclinations. So far he’s considering a comedy, drama, new play, musical, classical work, and “two serendipitous surprises.”

Ellenstein and his wife, Denise, moved from Los Angeles to Carlsbad almost nine years ago when Ellenstein landed a director’s job at NCRT. He said when he first told his wife about the opening, she started packing their belongings. “‘You’re going to apply for the job. You’re going to get it and we’re moving,’ Ellenstein quoted.

He said he hasn’t looked back since.

“I love creating things with creative people. They’re using themselves to create art. It’s a vibrant life and a good ride.

I’m very lucky,” he said with a gleam in his eye.

Malashock Dance brings ‘RAW2’ to La Jolla Playhouse

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor RAW: Rude. Rough.

Unrefined. Not words that usually come to mind in relation to Malashock Dance, a bright star on the local dance scene since 1988.

But last fall’s “Malashock/RAW,” featuring pieces by artistic director John Malashock, assistant artistic director Michael Mizerany, and guest choreographer Bradley Michaud, was a big hit at the late, lamented Sushi downtown.

Now the company is bringing “RAW2,” an all-new trio of provocative, boundarysmashing dances, to the La Jolla Playhouse, and it’s definitely a hot ticket.

“It’s a nice balance to have different forums for our work, to be able to tap into different sides of ourselves as artists — raw and refined,” Malashock said.

“And we wanted to expand our choreography, invite other people’s work in, besides just using my own.”

The stripped-down format also applies to the RAW budget. “We’re not spend-

ing much on costumes or sets,” Mizerany said. “We’re concerned with the dances and the dancers.”

This time, they’ve invited Henry Torres and Angel Arambula from Lux Boreal, a Tijuana dance company that’s been making a name for itself on both sides of the border.

“We’ve known Lux Boreal for a long time, and always admired their work,” said Malashock. “And Henry Torres has taught master classes in our studio. Now they’re creating a new piece, “Harem,” here, and basically all we know about it is in their press release.

That’s part of the excite-

ment of RAW, for us and our audiences: You don’t know what you’re gonna get.”

Malashock and Mizerany are also excited about their own new pieces for “RAW2.”

“With ‘Piece of Work!’

I’m going back to how I began creating dances. I really wanted to get very intimate and personal, to develop some unique characters and emotional story lines,” Malashock said. “And I’m using some really exciting music, like Brian Eno and David Byrne, along with some more current sounds.”

Mizerany’s ‘Desperate Love’ is set to a score that combines tribal drumbeats, techno, and new age music.

“The piece is in five sections, with four dancers, and it’s about desperate people trying to find a way to love,” Mizerany said.

“There’s lots of skin, lots of sweat, lots of conflict, lots of fast, dynamic movement.

My pieces tend to be very carnal, about how people relate to each other through their bodies and their hearts.”

Local woman dedicates life to DEAL sharing raw food lifestyle THE RAW

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer When Andrea Cox first visited this area as a raw food company spokeswoman at a convention a year ago, she knew it was where she’s supposed to be.

The raw food cookbook author and chef, who had been hired to promote raw and organic food company Sunfood based on her popularity in Ohio, turned down a permanent position with the company but stayed in Del Mar — and things have only flourished since. Her book, “RAWlicious Recipes,” continues to grow in popularity and she has found a niche doing private raw food cooking lessons, coaching and parties for those interested in the raw food lifestyle.

“Everything has happened by word of mouth, and the food speaks for itself,” said Cox, who just began offering “Dinners with Andrea,” in which she makes dinner on location for a groups of about

six (three couples).

While Cox has lived for more than seven years on a 100-percent raw diet — meaning no cooked food of any kind — she finds many of her clients are happy with one raw meal a day or going almost raw (maybe 70 to 80 percent, she said).

“A good balance is perfect,” said Cox, who is also vegan. “But the longer I stayed raw the more focused I was and balanced I was.”

Cox, a former fitness model of more than a decade, began her raw food venture when she became very ill from a high-protein diet. In her struggle, she flew to New York to meet personally with a raw food expert and author, and his teachings turned her life around.

She not only became healthy again but, at 35, she has since maintained a size 0 and enjoys as much as 4,000 calories a day of raw, healthy food.

“You haven’t lived if you haven’t had a Medjool date.”

— Andrea Cox

Andrea Cox prepares a raw carrot soup with sweet potatoes, Medjool dates and avocado. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN and more well-versed as a raw foodist, Cox began compiling her best recipes and self-published “RAWlicious Recipes,” which became a popular sell at farmers markets in Ohio.

Once her local news media took notice, she ended up

on the front page of her hometown paper and doing weekly TV news spots.

A pioneer of raw food, nobody was doing what Cox had dedicated her life to.

“I was really an odd ball,” she said. “I said ‘raw’ and people thought I

meantt sushi.” hi ” Cox is fitting in perfectly in North County San Diego, where residents embrace healthy and organic eating. She is also offering raw food classes and retreats.

On Oct. 15, from 2 to 4 p.m., she will be holding

the class “Living Foods with Andrea” at Harvard Cookie Girl in La Jolla, and her next retreat will take place from Jan. 5-9. For more information, visit www.thehealthyhaven.net or sign up for Cox’s next class at http://andreacox.eventbrite.com.

As expected, Wild Note Cafe’s main theme is music, and it’s reflected in much of the decor.

A sculpted metal trumpet player hovers over the patio doors, where tiny, silver music notes add a bit of sparkle on the glass.

Guitars, drums and various other instruments are displayed high above the semicircular bar that’s part of the indoor dining area; on the opposite side of the room, carved wooden band figures play underneath an American flag.

A number of images hang on the cafe’s golden-hued walls, including pictures of the legendary BB King, San Diego rock band Switchfoot and Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, taken by local photographer Aaron Chang. Other works of art reflect scenes of San Diego and Baja California, such as an oil painting by deceased artist

T

The indoor dining area’s features include photos by Aaron Chang and carved wooden band figures.

Patrons at the bar can watch sports programming and music videos.

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.

■ This week: Wild Note’s Shrimp Dumplings Kenneth Dale Draper that depicts Hussong’s Cantina in Ensenada, Mexico.

While cafe guests don’t necessarily hear songs emanating from the Belly Up next door, they can listen to pop, indie rock and reggae tracks played inside the restaurant. Music videos are often shown on the TV centered over the bar, along with sports programming.

The chef is Israel “Izzy” Balderas, and the sous chef is Jorge Benitez. The cuisine served at Wild Note Cafe can be described as “Pacific coastal with Mexican fusion.” For example, there are Shrimp Enchiladas with Spanish rice

and refried pinto beans, and Lobster Dumplings with a port wine sauce. There’s also the Ahi Sashimi Grade Salad, containing organic greens, fresh seaweed, papaya, crispy wontons, cucumber and champagne vinaigrette; and the Dijon-Herb Crusted Salmon, with Israeli couscous, broccolini and lemon-tarragon buerre blanc.

Burgers and sandwiches are included among the offerings, as well as a variety of gourmet sliders — Jalapeño Turkey Burger, Fried Chicken Tender, Filet Mignon and Seared Ahi. The children’s menu consists of pasta with Parmesan, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, a burger and a quesadilla.

Patrons who leave room for dessert will find options such as the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie and the Peach-Berry Puff Pastry.

According to Beth Bennett, director of marketing and events at the Belly Up and Wild Note Cafe, everything is housemade except the herb bread and butter, which is provided

by O’Brien’s Bakery in Del Mar. “We use the freshest ingredients locally when we can,” she said.

Bennett recommends that customers “crack a bottle of wine and try a variety of offerings.”

“From the starters, if you like seafood, there are plenty of options,” she said. “Sit on the patio, watch the people go by.”

The lunch crowd tends to be Cedros shoppers and beachgoers, while dinner tends to be “very show-driven,” Bennett said.

Reservations are recommended on nights of popular concerts.

But there’s a perk for Wild Note patrons: There is a side entrance to the Belly Up through the cafe, where the line is often shorter, Bennett said.

Artist prepares exhibit for Wine, Walk & Taste

BY WILL BOWEN Contributor “I don’t use brushes when I paint. I use trowels,” says Stephanie Paige, one of the featured artists at Contemporary Arts Gallery, 7946 Ivanhoe Ave. Paige will be at the gallery to greet visitors and discuss her technique at the upcoming La Jolla Wine Walk & Taste from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20.

Paige uses marble powder, which she mixes with water and applies to pine wood panels with a trowel, to create oversized modern abstract mixed-media landscape paintings. She adds color with powdered pigments, which she swirls into the mix, and actual rust powder, applying all in layers that need about a day each to dry. Sometimes she will even place “found objects” — pieces of metal from the junkyard, rebar, or bits of sand and pebbles — into her creations.

Paige has a proclivity for the colors blue and turquoise painted to look like a peaceful and serene seascape with the sky in the background. One such, called “Wind & Sea,” recounts the time she paddled her kayak up to La Jolla from Mission Bay and was swamped by 20 swells requiring a rescue by lifeguards in a powerboat.

Sometimes Paige will switch things up by applying greens with rust or a hot active red to the pine board,

or change the striation of the colors to vertical. In all of her art, the thing that grabs your attention is the play of chance — the way the colors swirl or melt by their own accord.

The contrast of open space versus density of images is also important. There are often intriguing allusions or shadows in her landscapes, which are actually created by the mind of the viewer trying to make sense of randomness and abstraction.

The surfaces of Paige’s landscapes are textured, but surprisingly smooth when felt with the fingers, and she encourages patrons to “touch my art.” Even if a small piece of the marble plaster chips off one of her paintings that’s OK with her — she likes imperfection.

She thinks every piece should have at least one.

Paige’s work is decorative and influenced by an eye for design, interior decoration, and architecture. Her paintings look great in the living room or bedroom, offering a pleasant meditative experience of peace and

Stephanie Paige calm, which is derived from her interest in Buddhism and the idea of Benevolence — mixed in with a good dose of a deep love of nature.

Paige will often work with clients who commission her paintings by going into their homes so she can see the setting and the client’s needs and tastes.

Paige was raised in the small town of Ortonville, Mich. on 10 acres of open woodsy land. Her father was a builder and her mother an artist. She describes her childhood self as, “A nature girl who loved and rescued animals.” After experiencing a broken heart, she said she threw a dart at a map of the USA and it landed on Tijuana, Mexico, so she made a call, packed up, and came out to San Diego for a job in an art store. She began her art career by painting murals for restaurants and club-

houses. Her work with fauxand Tuscany-styles evolved into her work with landscapes on wood panel.

Paige is basically selftaught, although she had a bit of art education at Farmington Hills Junior College in Michigan, and Palomar College out here. She said she begins each new painting without plans or a scheme, allowing the creative muse to direct her.

“I’m overjoyed to be invited to show at Contemporary Arts Gallery,” she said.

“It has been a dream for many years to be in that gallery. I submitted work for consideration to Contemporary in the past, but this is the first time I was accepted.

This is a dream come true.”

But then Paige believes in dreams. She says, “I love dreams! I believe that anything is possible for me ... and for others.”

The eighth annual “La Jolla Gallery Wine, Walk & Taste” celebration will be held from 5-9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20 around the village. This ticketed walkaround will allow participants to stroll the streets, visit art galleries, sample fine wines, and savor sumptuous cuisine from local restaurants.

Tickets are available online at www.lajollabythesea.com or by calling (858) 322-5008. Proceeds from the event will benefit the La Jolla Merchants Association, so the profits will go back into the community.

There are 13 art galleries involved, including Madison, Carleton, Africa and Beyond, Derissi, Galeria Jan, Prospect Place Fine Art, Simiak, Peter Lik, Martin Lawrence, Colosseum, Contemporary, Mangrisen, and Los Manos de Artesano.

Young girls share inspiring stories at fundraiser for Angel Faces Two girls, who suffered serious burns to their faces and bodies from separate, horrific accidents, shared their stories with 120 special guests during a special fundraising dinner for Angel Faces on Oct. 1 at the private residence of Richard Doan in Rancho Pacifica.

Melissa and Jenna recently participated in the extraordinary Angel Faces week-long retreat, which helps adolescent girls overcome the stigma from traumatic and disfiguring injuries, including frequent reconstructive surgeries, spoke passionately about their journey and Angel Faces during the evening’s inspiring program. Melissa also sang a few songs.

Angel Faces is a national nonprofit organization, headquartered in Encinitas, whose mission is to provide healing retreats and ongoing support for adolescent girls with burn/ trauma injuries to achieve their optimum potential and develop meaningful relationships for themselves, their families, and their communities. The unique retreats and aftercare programs focus on the healing process within a holistic framework of mind, heart, and spirit.

In addition to art therapy and private, corrective-cosmetic sessions, the program provides licensed therapists to help the girls through their loss and trauma issues and provide the girls with strategies to handle staring and teasing.

The goal of Angel Faces is to offer both a physical and emotional transformation so each girl walks away with a new confidence and a hopeful outlook toward the future.

Lesia Cartelli is the founder and CEO of Angel Faces. At the age of 9, Cartelli suffered severe burns to over 50 percent

of her face and body from a natural gas explosion. Cartelli’s own struggle with her resulting disfigurements was the catalyst for establishing and directing the organization, launched in 2003. Cartelli has received numerous prestigious awards for this program. Cartelli states,”The retreat allows the girls a ‘soft place to fall’ to overcome the effects of their trauma in their daily lives by teaching them how to positively handle stares and teasing, enhance their social and behavioral skills, to improve their self confidence and encourage them to create positive life choices.”

Angel Faces is the only program of its kind in the United States, and has been featured on the Dr. Phil Show, where Cartelli was honored with the “Heart of a Woman” Award for founding the program.

It will be a ‘Stravinsky Circus!’ for LJ Symphony & Chorus’ new season

BY LINDA THOMPSON Contributor Picking his favorite program in the upcoming La Jolla Symphony and Chorus 2011-12 concert season is nearly an impossibility for Maestro Steven Schick.

“I can’t say. It’s like saying which is your favorite kidney,” he quipped.

Schick is passionate about the entire season ahead, which surveys the works of 20th-century composer Igor Stravinsky and is aptly christened “Stravinsky Circus!”

For Schick, each of the concerts rises to “a lifechanging artistic event.”

That’s in part because of the intensity of the rehearsals and labor of love that his community musicians put into each performance.

“Stravinsky Circus! will present the many faces of Stravinsky,” Schick said.

“You will hear the Stravinsky of the ballets in his ‘The Rite of Spring’ and ‘The Firebird,’ and you will hear some later works of reduced instrumentation of which ‘Les Noces,’ written for pianos, percussion and chorus, is a fabulous example. We will have ‘Symphony in C’

from his neoclassical period and ‘Ebony Concerto,’ in which he embraced jazz in a work written for the Woody Herman band. There is so much to choose from!”

It was two years ago that Schick decided Stravinsky’s compositions should be used for a concert series. “Stravinsky changed the musical world. He was as important to the 20th century as the music of the 19th-century masters was to theirs. In a way, he was the Beethoven of the modern era.”

In addition to Stravinsky, patrons will hear the music of Beethoven, Brahms, Verdi, and Mozart alongside contemporary composers David Lang and John Adams.

“Music belongs to a time and often to a place,” Shick said. “We believe in playing the music of and for our time, in addition to the great classic works.”

Schick, who begins his

fifth season with the LJS&C, likens appreciating music to learning a language by listening; those who listen more gain a deeper understanding.

To enrich the LJS&C experience, pre-concert lectures given by program annotator Eric Bromberger, Choral Director David Chase, and Schick give patrons insight into the composers and their music. Audiences are invited to ask questions in these sessions to help bring perspective and understanding to the performances.

“When speaking about the music to a La Jolla Symphony and Chorus audience, I try to give them access — perhaps by providing some concepts or background information — without robbing them of the chance to listen for themselves. We encourage everyone to find their own pathway through the music.”

Longtime Aikido master

shares art of peaceful force CORYL CRANE

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer Have you ever passed through Seagrove Park in Del Mar on a Sunday morning and seen a group of about 10 men and women wearing samurai garb and fighting with sticks?

Well, those sticks are actually called a “jos,” those skirt-like pants are known as the “hakama,” and those moves are part of Aikido — which means “the path to harmony with energy.”

Every once in a while, the upper level students of North County Aikikai, located at 813 Academy Drive in Solana Beach, take their Japanese martial art beachside to

share it with those outside their studio, better known as a “dojo.” Their next practice at Seagrove Park is on Oct. 23 at 10 a.m.

Many of these students have been practicing Aikido for more than 15 years and some have even grown up learning under the dojo’s leader, Sensei Coryl Crane, who has been teaching in Solana Beach for 20 years. The practice is one of long-term dedication, Crane said.

“It’s about a process of inner growth,” she said. “You gain a sense of strength that comes from being centered and balanced.”

Unlike many martial arts, Aikido is not about fighting or asserting strength over others.

“It’s about the opponent in ourselves,” said Crane.

“It’s about neutralizing a force of energy coming toward us and blending with it,” she said. “It’s not about attacking back, it’s about how you respond to the attack. You harmonize, blend, unbalance and neutralize, with no harm to the attacker.

It’s not force against force; it’s force against intelligence.”

North County Aikikai student RC Miles sought out Aikido when he started working in the security field, which took him to dangerous locations and situations where “force was probable,” he said.

“I wanted to find a martial art that would teach me to use force to control situations without putting someone in the hospital,” said Miles, who has studied under Crane, his fourth master, for four years.

People come to Aikido for a number of reasons, including self defense and exercise — “You get a good workout,” Crane said. It is also one of the few martial arts that uses weapons, and very experienced students practice with live blades.

Others come because they are interested in the philosophy of Aikido, said Crane.

“They’ve read about Aikido and they appreciate the values of love and harmony.”

Those principles are what enticed Crane, as well as a number of her students, to dedicate their lives to Aikido.

Crane, a sixth-degree black belt, was trained by someone

who practiced under the art’s founder. A former stained glass artist, Crane discovered Aikido by walking by a studio in La Jolla in 1977, and the rest was history.

“I connected with what was going on there without even knowing what it was,” she said.

Miles said Crane is a special instructor in that she cares about her students’ practice as much as she cares about them “as human beings, as people living together in society.”

A young-looking 67 years old, Crane “has a sharp eye and doesn’t miss any-

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS San Diego Children’s Choir gives youth an opportunity to develop their musical interests

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER San Diego Children’s Choir has been providing artistic and personal growth through music education for the last 20 years.

The group has successfully united San Diego children in song across 130 school districts in the county, offering five rehearsal locations throughout San Diego (Del Mar, Rancho Bernardo, Mira Mesa, Hillcrest and Allied Gardens) with children coming together for performances.

“Kids from all over San Diego, from all different socioeconomic levels, meet doing something they really love,” said Sandra Timmons, president of the SDCC Board of Directors.

Additionally, SDCC has Neighborhood Choirs, fully supported by donations in under-served communities such as City Heights, Shelltown (southwest San Diego) and Nestor.

The Neighborhood Choirs aim to serve children who don’t have music in their schools and whose families may not be able to afford instruments or lessons.

“Choral music gives children access to music education with fewer barriers,” said Timmons. “You don’t need an instrument or lessons. Your instrument is your voice.”

As schools everywhere face budget crunches, music education doesn’t always make the cut. “(Music) seems to be one of the first things schools make the tough decision of eliminating,” said Donna Icenhower, executive director. “SDCC gives children who are artistically or musically inclined an opportunity to grow their talent and their gift…It’s very important that children are exposed to the arts at a young age.”

Timmons has been involved with SDCC for 16 years, since her daughter Allison joined the choir as soon as she was old enough. She tears up when she speaks about what

the choir can mean to children as she’s watched them sing and grow.

“It just showed me how inspirational something like this can be for kids. It’s transformative,” said Timmons. “It can take a shy kid and turn them into someone who’s comfortable speaking or singing in front of a group of people. It can take a kid who lacks motivation, who’s struggling in school and give them the motivation and confidence to succeed.”

San Diego Children’s Choir was founded in 1990 by Polly Campbell, with just 10 kids in a treble choir. As their voices changed and the children grew, more groups were added to SDCC: The Preparatory Ensemble for choristers in first and second grade; Intermediate Ensemble for grades 3-5; Concert Ensemble for grades 6-9; and Youth Ensemble for high school singers.

The largest choir is the Intermedi- The San Diego Children’s Choir helps give all youth an opportunity to develop ate level, which had 87 kids signed up their musical talents. last year.

The San Diego Symphony hosted its season-opening gala, “Opus 2011: A Night in Paris,” Oct. 1 at the University Club atop Symphony Towers. The French-themed pre- and post-concert activities included cocktails, dinner, cabaret music, can-can dancers, mimes, richly decadent pastries, casino games of chance, and even a silver service of French toast, French fries and French dip!

Joyce and Craig Grosvenor chaired the gala to raise funds for the symphony’s education and outreach programs that serve more than 53,000 students each year.

The concert starred soprano Kathleen Battle and French pianist Jean Yves Thibaudet, and under the direction of maestro Jahja Ling, the repertoire included Gabriel Fauré’s “Piano Quartet No. 1” and Maurice Ravel’s “Bolero,” which ended in a standing ovation.

Metal sculptor to open gift and art store in Del Mar

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer A shop that offers a 10-percent discount to locals, carries items that women “must have,” and showcases not-just-your-everyday-landscape local artwork.

That’s the vision behind Del Mar Art & Gifts. And although he chose a rather simple name, owner Arthur Ball’s inspiration for the business that will replace Earth Song Books on Nov. 18 goes much deeper.

Ball, a 67-year-old ARTHUR BALL self-proclaimed “artaholic” and advocate of The shop will offer karma, said it was “the mainly art of all kinds, Universe” that led him to from up to 30 local artists open a shop in Del Mar. at any given time, as well But a statistic he said he as other items such as heard somewhere also prohandmade greeting cards, vided inspiration. hats, ceramics, candles and “Eighty percent of all lotions. art is sold to people travel“It will be more of an ing,” he said. “It makes art store than a traditional sense.

A cancer survivor, Ball went through chemotherapy a little over a year ago, he said. At that time, he owned a printing company and sold his interests in the business to his nephew.

“For a while, I thought I was going to have to buy the box,” he said about being faced with death.

After his recovery, Ball said he felt as though he didn’t need to do anything other than enjoy and share art. A metal sculptor, Ball rented space in other shops to show and sell his work, but said he didn’t like the fact that shop owners got to pick and choose what to display.

“Every piece of art means something different to every person,” he said.

“I needed artistic freedom, and I want to be able to show whatever I want.”

Del Mar Art & Gifts will be located at 1440 Camino Del Mar, CA, 92014.

Does my daughter need therapy?

By Diana WeissWisdom, Ph.D. Dear Dr. Diana My 25-year-old daughter is having a difficult time. She’s in graduate school in another state and when she recently came home for a visit, she seemed very de- Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom pressed and unhappy. We try to talk with her but it’s really hard. She gets upset when we try to give her advice like we are insulting her. It’s frustrating because we worry about her being so far away and struggling so much. I think she needs counseling. My husband (her stepfather) keeps telling her that this is the best time in her life and she should be enjoying it. It’s hard to know how to help her. Do you think that since we are supporting her that we have a right to insist that she go to counseling?

— Worried Mom Dear Worried Mom, While being in your 20s has probably never been easy, for some young people it may be more difficult than it was when we were kids. Recent studies on happiness reveal the 20s and 30s as the most anxietyridden times for most people. It’s always been a time for discovering one’s identity apart from one’s family. But in todays’ expansive world facilitated by information technology, the world has never been more accessible or overwhelming. Couple with that the challenging economic times, less available entry level jobs, higher rents and healthcare costs, young people do have cause for concern.

Counseling can only help those who want to be helped. And for people in their 20s and 30s, often times they just have to go through life’s various experiences. In other words, get through the school of hard knocks before they achieve emotional wisdom and security. It’s hard for parents to feel like they are just standing by and letting it happen. But a little adversity can do a lot of good. Don’t deny your child the important opportunities that come along to learn life’s

most important lessons — the ones with real consequences that can sometimes bring unhappiness and frustration in the short term.

There is an old saying that too much sunshine makes a desert. And using another old cliché, into everyone’s life, some rain must fall. I’m a big proponent of therapy because I’ve seen it work.

Brain chemistry may have something to do with the sensitivity that some young adults have when getting input or feedback from their parents. Neuroscientists have discovered that in younger adults, the amygdala, the brain’s emotional nut, is activated when exposed to negative and positive input, whereas adults from midlife on seem to have the ability to tune out or diminish negative emotions; their amygdala lights up when they see positive images, and much less so if at all when they see negative ones.

No doubt about it, being a parent to a young adult can be challenging. As our parents will probably attest – most likely it was equally challenging to our parents when we were young adults.

Keeping in mind that your daughter is going through a difficult period, try to be accepting and encouraging without telling her that she shouldn’t feel the way she does. If she will talk with you, try to do more listening that suggesting. Ask her how if she feels depressed and if so, how bad it is. It is a good idea to encourage her to see a psychologist. If her depression has been going on for a while and you are concerned for her safety, do insist that she get some help. But if her depression is mild and her schoolwork is going okay, you could keep the conversation going instead of pushing her to get professional help.

This column is not a replacement for a professional consultation, evaluation and is not meant to be therapy.

Diana Weiss-Wisdom, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist (psy#12476) in private practice in Rancho Santa Fe, California. She specializes in marriage and couples counseling, divorce recovery, and stepfamily issues.

Grauer School attracts international students The Grauer School in Encinitas has attracted a number of international students to its enrollment class of 2011, in conjunction with its UNESCO status as a “Center of Innovation.” The school was awarded the affiliation in 2010 as the only school in the Southern California region to be the recipient of this prestigious designation, furthering the concept of Expeditionary Learning, established by the school upon inception 20 years ago. Their weekly newsletter is read in over 123 cities worldwide, a testament to their global reach.

According to Grauer School Admissions Counselor Elizabeth Braymen, “We have students from all points throughout the globe who have been drawn to The Grauer School experience though a variety of outreach programs we are involved in. This includes our UNESCO association as well as our pioneering concept of Expeditionary Learning that immerses our students in global cultures and humanitarian efforts.

“In our 2011 class, international students include a foreign exchange student

form Portugal, a student from Vietnam, two students from China, one from Mexico and another from Japan, plus a German student who will be enrolling in the fall semester after an international sailing competition on the Baltic Sea. Interestingly, some students come to us short-term for language and culture immersion, but most come in order to earn a high school degree and matriculate to a U.S. college or university.”

The Grauer School is internationally renowned for its proven success in providing an academically-balanced, comprehensive education for its students, engaging them in community outreach programs both within the San Diego community as well as abroad.

Stuart Grauer, Ed.D. is the founding director of the Coalition of Small Preparatory Schools with member schools located throughout the world that have embraced the Grauer School educational model.

The battle against breast cancer: RSF’s Lili Myers’ story continues

By Lili Myers Scanxiety at its best. The night before the bone scan was not a peaceful one, with many strange dreams which didn’t make much sense once I woke up. To say that dreams are wishful thinking is absurd! I was up and ready to go way too early, and spent the morning attempting to show my family that Lili Myers this was not a big deal. When my daughter asked about what was to happen and how things would evolve, I discussed with her the anticipated sequence of events in such a calm and non emotional way I even surprised myself. It felt as if I had left my body and was watching myself talk while thinking, “How does she do that? How does she remain so unemotional?” I was questioning how I could possibly appear so calm.

As we were driving to the first part of the day, blood tests and nuclear injection, my husband was animated and doing his best to make me laugh. He commented that I was clearly not myself, and noted that most people would not notice there was a change in my behavior, that I was tightly wound. My attempt at humor was telling my husband that I thought perhaps I could go get a manicure and a pedicure during the time between the nuclear injection and the actual scan. He did look at me funny trying to determine if I was really serious. Of course I was not!

The rest of the day is sort of a blur. We waited two

hours after the injection and had lunch though I couldn’t eat much. On the drive back to the medical facility, I was quiet. The scan took about 20 minutes and then we went home and waited... and then waited some more.

The weekend was busy and I focused on family. However, on Sunday night I was awakened by very strange dreams and was not able to sleep past 5 a.m. The waiting will probably continue for a another day or two, until the report and blood test results have been reviewed by my oncologist and it has been determined that it is OK to send to me. How would you wait?

Another 24 hours go by, another sleepless night. I wake up early I check email often hoping to get some news or a fax. The long-awaited email arrives later in the morning, stating that the bone scan is NEGATIVE! I find myself reading it slowly and twice. My husband walks into my office, looks at me and asks...What is the matter? My eyes fill up with tears and my voice breaks as I tell him that the scan is negative. The knots in my stomach are vanishing. “See?” he says, “I told you everything was alright!” I smile, then laugh, then cry a little more. Now I can start living again. I feel 100 lbs. lighter; I am smiling, and looking forward to the next three months which will be filled with family events and celebrations.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” — Steve Jobs

New puppet show a feast for the eyes and the imagination

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Alan Cook, founder and director of the International Puppetry Museum in Pasadena, loves puppets so much that he’s collected about 6,000 of them, representing cultures all over the world. For the next few months, you can see some of his treasures at Carlsbad’s Cannon Gallery.

More than 200 puppets from the Alan Cook Collection are beautifully displayed in the gallery that is part of the Library Complex. There are Punch and Judy hand puppets, Indonesian shadow puppets, life-size Burmese puppets, rare Japanese Bunraku puppets meant to be manipulated by two or three puppeteers, Broadway and Hollywood celebrity lookalikes, and a whole company of Chinese marionettes ... and that’s just for starters.

There are probably more puppets on display than you’ve ever seen in your life.

Cook, 79, started collecting as a child, and began his own puppet-making/puppeteering career at age 8, thanks to a WPA (Works Progress Administration) program at his grade school.

“I’ve built this collection on a very small income,” he said.

“I was able to buy things when they were cheap. Many of them I wouldn’t be able to afford today.”

Twelve years ago, with the help of a core group of volunteers, Cook started a puppetry museum in a Pasadena church, dedicating it to promoting, preserving and advancing the international art of puppetry.

Now heading toward age 80, he has been searching for a permanent home for his collection, and has settled on the Northwest Puppet Center in Seattle. But he’s still hoping to find the right place in Southern California.

“Our dream is to find a place here and work in

tandem with Seattle. There are certainly enough pieces to go around,” said Collections Coordinator Steve Golden, a former puppeteer who says no one is ever really a “former” puppeteer and has worked with Cook for years.

A special added attrac-

tion to the Carlsbad exhibition will be the appearance of Hobey Ford’s Golden Rod Puppets in an extraordinary piece called “Animalia” at the free Family Open Studios event Saturday, Oct. 15.

Ford, an award-winning performer who lives in North Carolina, is famous for his handcrafted foam-rubber “foamies,” realistic animal puppets that seem to come alive in his hands.

He teaches nationwide through the Kennedy Center, and has won three Jim Henson Foundation grants and a puppeteer’s highest honor, the Citation of Excellence from the Union Internationale de la Marionette.

Ford’s balletic style of puppetry will leave you and your family enthralled, and you’ll have a chance to create your own animal puppets at the event.

You might even have a chance to talk with Alan Cook about his life and his puppets, which would be an event in itself.

Chef Jeffrey Strauss Pizza Paella Party raises over $12,000 for Casa de Amparo Twenty supporters of Casa de Amparo attended a special fundraising dinner Sept. 30 at the private home of Chef Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, a Crystal Ball Gala pre-event auction item. Guests nibbled on a delicious assortment of gourmet pizzas prepared by Chef Strauss in his outdoor pizza oven. They then enjoyed a sit down paella dinner while enjoying the spectacular sunset view and the doo wop songs of acapella group Augie’s Side Effect.

Casa de Amparo Board member Duffy Keys thanked guests for their support of Casa de Amparo and the abused and neglected children served by the organization for over 33 years. “As a former executive for The Four Seasons, I know how important it is to customize service to the needs of each guest. I was very impressed when I found out that Casa de Amparo does the same thing, customizing the components of programs and services to meet the individual needs of each and every client it serves. It says a lot for the organization’s commitment to individualized comfort and care.”

Keys invited guests to tour the Casa Kids Campus that will open next year in San Marcos. Executive Director Sharon Delphenich also thanked guests and added that “The new campus will increase and enhance Casa de Amparo’s capacity to help more children and end cycles of abuse.” Casa de Amparo is continuing fundraising in an effort to open the campus debt-free. $4.6 million out of an initial $16 million is still needed.

Guests attending the event were Harry and Valerie Cooper, Lou and Judy Ferrero, Walter and Lola Green, Mike and Pat Hayward, Skip and Paula Hodgetts, Duffy and Judy

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Kids Korps members recognized for many achievements KIDS KORPS ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY On Sunday, Oct. 2, 128 Kids Korps members earned the Kids Korps and Student Presidential Awards for their thousands of hours of service this past year. At Ponto Beach, in Carlsbad, parents and Kids Korps volunteers came together to celebrate their outstanding achievements.

Before the awards were presented, these dedicated young people and their families came together for a beach clean-up sponsored by San Diego Coast Keepers. For about an hour, volunteers picked up trash, tallying it for statistical purposes. After sharing the results of their efforts, volunteers reported that plastic and cigarette butts were the most common culprits found on the beach. We all learned that one cigarette butt can take 1 - 5 years to degrade and a plastic bag takes 10 - 1,000 years. A glass bottle or a polystyrene foam cup may NEVER decompose.

Marine debris is human-related trash and litter that has deliberately or accidentally made its way to coastlines and beaches where it can eventually enter the ocean, bays, lakes, or waterways. It is one of the worst pollution problems facing the world’s oceans today. The problem with marine debris is that most of it is in the form of plastic, which is highly toxic and does not degrade naturally in the environment.

Once the trash was collected and accounted for, members gathered around the Kids Korps tent to hear their names called for different levels of achievement. All youth volunteers who earned 25 hours or more received the Kids Korps Volunteer Award. Teens, ages 15+, earning 50 hours or more received the Teen Korps Award. Volunteers up to the age of 14, earning 50 hours or more received the Presidential Award for Youth and teens, ages 15+ earning 100 hours or more received the Teen/ Adult Presidential Award.

Oct. 2 was a fun-filled day for so many Kids Korps families at Ponto Beach, on a sunny, beautiful October day. A lot of trash was picked up, volunteers cleaned up their local beach, made a difference in their community, and received the accolades that they so deserved for all their ongoing desire to give back to their community.

MBE/UPS FOUNDATION RECOGNIZES KIDS KORPS

WITH A $10,000 GRANT AWARD Kids Korps USA recently received a $10,000 grant through the corporate office of MBE/The UPS Store, to support the development of Kids Korps programs in under-served communities such as City Heights, as well as capacitybuilding technology upgrades and equipment. Kevin Pignone, VP of nontraditional sales and his wife Leann, long-time Kids Korps members, nominated Kids Korps for the grant. Kevin Foley, VP of human resources, and Leann presented the check at the quarterly Kids Korps chapter leader meeting that was held on Sept. 28.

“We are honored and delighted to receive this grant, “said Robin Chappelow, Kids Korps’ program director.

“MBE/UPS FOUNDATION’s support will Kids Korps volunteers gather at Ponto Beach for the Annual Kids Korps significantly impact Kids Korps’ ability Awards Ceremony to meet the needs of participants and recipient organizations alike”.

Your Family Matters: Halloween 101 (for parents)

BY DR. KEITH KANNER It’s that time of the year again where most kids are busy daydreaming about getting ready for another Halloween. Dressing up, decorating the house, and making things “spooky” is all in the October weeks prior to the “big day.” However, the spirit of Halloween can be both a fun or scary experience depending upon certain precautions that parents need to take. To begin with, costumes can be both amusing and fun, but also quite frightening when considering the age of the child.

For the under 6-yearolds, too much exposure to costumes or decorations involving blood, guts, or mangled body parts, as well as too scary a costume, can evoke both extreme anxiety and bad dreams. In some cases, such over-stimulation can cause fears which can last up to a month or longer.

Parents of this group of children need to both be careful what they allow their child to wear, as well as what they are exposed to during the Halloween ritual.

It is recommended that this group begin trick or treating as early as possible and end before the older

tumes can cause. For children get example, children onto the are more likely to act streets wearout if their identity ing graphic is masked. In addicostumes and tion, impulsiveness engaging in increases in numpossible bers. Therefore, parpranks.

Here, the adolescent has some indeNOT recommended for the pendence but also some suunder 6-year-olds for the pervision to help keep them same reasons as mentioned from getting into any trouregarding costumes and decble. Hopefully, the post orations, for children in this 16-year-olds have given up age group are still between trick or treating, so this fantasy and reality thinking should not be an issue for and graphic exposure may feel “too real” to them, caus- most parents.

Follow-

ing these guidelines should assist in a fun and happy Halloween.

Safe Halloween Planning Key Points: 1. For the under 6-yearolds, be careful about exposure to scary costumes/houses.

2. Start the evening early for the small children to avoid older children antics.

3. Up to preadolescence, parents need to be chaperones for safety.

4. For the early to middle adolescent, position yourself at a checkpoint.

5. Always check through candy and limit consumption.

Coldwell Banker to host ‘Document Shredding and Recycling Fest’ The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Del Mar will be hosting a Document Shredding and Recycling Fest in coordination with Goodwill Industries of San Diego County. The event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Coldwell Banker’s office parking lot, located at 2651 Via De La Valle in Del Mar. This free of charge recycling and donation event will provide community residents and businesses the opportunity to: • Securely dispose of old tax records, confidential documents or any papers containing sensitive information (a certificate of destruction will be mailed to anyone who uses the shredding service).

• Donate clean, reusable clothing and house hold goods. (All donors will receive a tax donation receipt).

• Donate/recycle computers, computer accessories, and TVs working or not.

Goodwill staff members will be avail-

able throughout the event to assist with donations and providing tax donation receipts.

Courtesy of Coldwell Banker, refreshments will be available during the event.

We encourage everyone to participate.

Clean out your closets, unclutter your offices and be good to the earth!

“This is yet another effort by Coldwell Banker to provide local community residents and businesses with professional services that save time, money, and our environment while also providing people with disabilities and other barriers to employment jobs by developing their skills and work habits through ongoing training and support,” said Branch Manager Delorine Jackson. Large items (furniture, appliances, mattresses, equipment) will not be collected at this event.

If you have any questions regarding donating to Goodwill, please visit www.sdgoodwill.org or call (619) 225-2200.

Solana Center offers free composting workshops The Solana Center for Environmental Innovation is offering several free workshops designed to teach San Diego County residents how to successfully compost at home.

Composting is an important component of environmentally sustainable communities because it diverts valuable organic matter from landfills and reduces the amount of waste that must be transported from neighborhoods to waste disposal and processing facilities.

For residents, composting is also an excellent way to enrich soil in gardens, yards, and planters. Amending soil with compost can conserve water, reduce the need for fertilizer, and increase plant vigor and pest resistance.

The workshops are free to all San Diego County residents. For a list of workshop dates and locations, and to pre-register online, visit www.solanacenter.org.

HOME OF THE WEEK Golf Course Membership Available Fairy dust was sprinkled generously on this magical site with its magnificent verdant views of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Course across your 330 feet of golf course frontage. Sunsets are spectacular for relaxing by the outdoor fireplace while watching hot air balloons against the gorgeous sunsets— so dramatic and beautiful. Sip your coffee in early morning hours while horses gallop by on the RSF trail. This is a golfer’s paradise--just drive your golf cart directly down your personal cart path to the course. This five plus bedroom remodeled estate offers everything from granite and marble, new pool and spa, separate golf cart garage and truly the best RSF golf course lot in the Covenant.
