Cooperative effort earns local fire districts regional ‘Golden Watchdog Award’ The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, along with the cities of Del Mar, Encinitas, and Solana Beach, was recently recognized by the San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA) for saving taxpayers an estimated $1 million last year through their cooperative efforts agreement. The agreement, which was put into effect in 2009, provides for the participating agencies to share management services in an effort to cut back on operating costs. The agreement was modified last year and is now expected to save the agencies $1.6 million. The recognition from the SDCTA came during their 16th annual Golden Watchdog and Golden Fleece Awards Dinner on May 19. “This ‘throwback’ Golden Watchdog Award from the Taxpayers Association recognizes that we are at the front edge of government cost-savings,” said RSF Fire District Board Chair James Ashcraft. “We are pleased the agreement has thus far been a success, to the extent that other agencies have contacted us to see about using our arrangement as a template for similar partnerships.” Tom Hickerson, RSF Fire District board member, added, “Our goal is to deliver the best services possible to all mem-

Planning Commission recommends tiered equine regulations BY JOE NAIMAN CONTRIBUTOR The county’s Planning Commission recommended a tiered ordinance as part of the update of the county’s equine regulations. The Planning Commission’s 7-0 vote May 20 sends the recommendation to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, who are expected to hold a hearing June 29. The Planning Commission merely recommended the tiered ordinance from among the four options developed by county Department of Planning and Land Use staff; the actual ordinance will be developed after the Board of Supervisors provides direction regarding potential content of the tiered ordinance. “I’m glad to see this is going in the right direction,” said David Puchta, who is the president of the
San Diego County Horsemen’s Association. “It’s long overdue.” A 5-0 Board of Supervisors vote March 2 directed the county’s Chief Administrative Officer to work with the county’s equestrian community and any other interested parties to investigate options which would protect and promote equine operations throughout unincorporated San Diego County. The options included the potential development of a tiered ordinance, similar to what the county has adopted for wineries, and the Chief Administrative Officer was directed to report back to the Board of Supervisors within 120 days. Carl Stiehl led the effort on behalf of the Department of Planning and Land Use, organizing four stakeholders meetings and contacting community planning and

Solana Santa Fe student earns Vic Kops Children’s Challenge Award BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER For the last 29 years, the Del Mar/Solana Beach Optimist Club has honored outstanding local students with its Children’s Challenge Awards. This year’s happy, inspirational ceremony was held at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club on May 18 with 10 honorees in six categories of fellowship, community service, arts, courage, humanities and science. “This is truly as good as it gets,” said Susan Pfleeger, event co-chair.

honoring them. The awards have carried on in his name since he died in 2007. RSF’s Solana Santa Fe School teacher Marsi Hays honored her sixth grade student Jacob Brumm in the area of humanities—“My only challenge this year is staying one step ahead of him,” she said. Jacob has a drive for excellence in the classroom and helps inspires classmates to give their very best, Hays said. He shows amazing focus despite a busy tennis schedule and as a loyal friend has a high level of respect for others.

Our number one project this year has been to find a permanent home for our Patrol, a problem that prior boards have been dealing with for almost five years. Earlier this year the Fire Department and the Association signed a letter of intent to locate the Patrol in the fire station for the next 30 years. Thanks to the efforts of the Fire Department and the School District, who will be providing the parking, we hope to finalize the agreement and have the Patrol in their new home by the end of the fiscal year. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of Deb Plummer, as our chief negotiator, who spent many long hours on this issue over the last few years. The location will allow the Patrol a quick response to anywhere in the community and is especially key to protecting our children. Additional ongoing projects that will come to reality this year include: developing undergrounding
utility districts to facilitate the undergrounding of existing utility lines and to complete the improvements to the village parks. The document packages are out to the first five districts to begin neighborhood undergrounding projects. The first step in the process will be to work with neighborhood volunteers to test the waters for support to funding the undergrounding work. Once the support is in place the design work will be completed and submitted to the neighbors for approval. If all goes well, work could begin on the first undergrounding project in early 2012. The first couple of projects will be the most challenging and once we can get the bugs worked out and I am confident that subsequent projects will be much quicker. As for completing the improvements to the village parks, Dick Brockett, our director of field operations, has assured me that the work will be done by June 30 of this year.

BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Dr. Dennis Carson is giving up his post as director of the renowned UCSD Moores Cancer Center, and doing anything but retiring. “It’s time for me for step down and return to the laboratory,” said Carson, who will turn 65 this year. “I have two anti-cancer drugs in development and I’ll now have a lot more time to be in the lab.” Involved in every step of the disease-treatment process, including actually making, bottling and labeling the first treatments, Carson is perhaps best known for discovering and pushing through to clinical use a novel anti-cancer agent now marketed as Leustatin. It is the therapy of choice for cancer patients with hairy cell leukemia, producing a decade or more of diseasefree remission in eight of 10 new patients, often after just a single infusion. During his career, Carson has published more than 485 peer-reviewed papers and trained scores of new physician-scientists. He owns 69 patents based upon his research and has founded six biotechnology companies to pursue these discoveries. As director of the UCSD Moores Cancer Center — one of only 40 Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the nation designated by the National Cancer Institute —
Dr. Dennis Carson Carson has created or supported new and innovative programs that mesh the talents and resources of academia and industry to push promising cancer treatments into clinical trials faster and more effectively. At UCSD since 1990, Carson was brought in to help recruit new faculty. He acknowledged he’s presided over the cancer center during a formative time in its history. “When I started in 2001 the center really wasn’t comprehensive,” he said, noting that all changed with the help of John Moores, other donors and especially, the university. “Together we put up a truly unified building in 2003 to house the center and its clinicians, researchers and educators,” he said. “I think it set a (new) standard for the university.” A total of 675 people are now employed at Moores Cancer Center. “The number of patients has doubled and we’re
in the top 20 in the country in National Cancer Institute grants,” added Carson. Dr. Thomas J. Kipps, a hematologist who’s worked together with Carson for 25 years, will become the acting center director while the university does an exhaustive search to find Carson’s permanent replacement. Cancer is not a single malady but a class of diseases in which cells display uncontrolled growth invading, intruding upon and destroying adjacent tissues and sometimes spreading to other parts of the body. Carson said steady progress is being made in fighting the disease though it’s a time-consuming process. “Cancer is actually more like a 100 different diseases,” he said, adding the biggest risk factor is age, though children can get certain types. “Research is very hard,” noted Carson. “Some of the treatments are difficult.” Though cancer may never be completely “cured,” Carson foresees the disease becoming more manageable with treatment over time. “We will continue to make steady progress, though I don’t think there will be one magic bullet,” he said. “The trend in mortality is down, which I see increasing until the time when cancer will be much less a problem than it is now.”
Fundraiser to be held at Premier Martial Arts for Rady Children’s Hospital
In conjunction with Premier Martial Arts of Encinitas, the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary is holding its first annual Board Break-a-Thon June 4 to raise money for the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Rady Children’s Hospital.

Help raise funds for Rady’s Children’s Students enrolled in classes at the studio Hospital at June 4 event. are soliciting sponsorships to break boards for the June 4 fundraiser. Courage said the event is open to non-members as well. “It’s a good opportunity to teach the children about doing for others, to learn about doing unselfish deeds for others, and to think about those who are less fortunate,” said Courage. “It’s part of what we teach here at the studio. Community members and supporters of Rady Children’s Hospital can sponsor karate students in their efforts to break boards. Sponsorships to purchase the boards are also available. The event will be held from 9:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Premier Martial Arts studio located at 1516 Encinitas Blvd. in Encinitas.

Dale D. Myers
Profile
Former aircraft engineer and NASA executive reviews career from Lindbergh handshake to landing astronauts on moon BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor For Dale Myers, it was an “electrifying” moment. He was 5 at the time. His father, “who was not a pushy guy,” caught up in the moment, pushed him through a crowd at the Kansas City Municipal Airport to meet America’s newest hero, not a singing sensation or even a movie star, but a 25-year-old aviator named Charles Lindbergh. Big mistake on his father’s part, Myers recalled. “My father was a doctor. His two brothers were doctors and my older brother had committed to become a doctor. And my dad was just waiting for the time he could con me into becoming a doctor.” But it was 1927 and Lindbergh had recently completed the first solo nonstop trans-Atlantic flight in a San Diego custom-built Ryan single-engine monoplane, “Spirit of St. Louis,” from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France, 3,610 miles, in 33 hours and 30 minutes. When Lindbergh returned to the States, the government had commissioned him to barnstorm across the country to inspire young people about aviation. “And then I shook
hands with Charles Lindbergh, and, oh, boy, that did it. I went home and started building model airplanes, and eventually learned everything I could about airplanes and science. I wasn’t about to do anything about medicine. I was going to get into the airplane business.” For Dale Myers it was that handshake that changed the direction of his life and led him to become a major participant in and contributor to America’s visionary Apollo manned spaceflights that not only landed the first humans — astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin — on the moon in 1969, but in five subsequent Apollo missions, the last in 1972, landed another 10 astronauts on the moon’s powdery, rockstrewn surface. Put into perspective, those six Apollo spaceflights have, to this date, marked the only times that humans have landed on another celestial body in our galaxy. We interviewed Myers, now 89 and living locally. His wife of 66 years passed away 18 months ago. He was preparing to deliver the inaugural lecture on May 25 in the VIEWPOINTS community-based lecture series at the Village Church Fellowship Center

in Rancho Santa Fe. The series provides a discussion forum featuring world-class experts from a variety of disciplines. Meyers was scheduled to talk about space and its future challenges. Myers is a slightly-built man with a darkened left lens on his glasses. In his younger days, he used to wear a black patch after a car crashed into him and his brand new Porsche Sportster in 1960, causing the loss of one eye and almost taking his life. His neatly-appointed office is filled with framed and signed photos of his astronaut and engineer friends and models of space vehicles and other aircraft he worked on during a 37-year career as an aeronautical engineer with North American-Rockwell and as an executive with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He also served for two years as Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy under the Carter Administration “even though I told the President I was a Republican and didn’t agree with his energy policies. But when the President calls...” On his desk is a small handbook of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Another President who called him was Ronald Reagan who asked him to leave his job as head of an engineering group in Pasadena to return to NASA as deputy administrator after a fire aboard the space shuttle Challenger — due to an ORing failure on the right solid rocket booster shortly after liftoff on January 28, 1986 — took the lives of all seven astronauts aboard. Myers had previously served as associate administrator of NASA’s manned space flight program, including the shuttle development, from 1970 to 1974. Reagan asked Myers to help restore morale at NASA following the 1986 tragedy. “It was my last real job before retiring in 1989,” he said. Myers was born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1922. Setting his sights on getting a degree in aeronautical engineering, he enrolled at the University of Washington.
Dale D. Myers (PHOTO: ROB MCKENZIE) “It was kind of a hard time, 1939, when I went to college, and my dad wasn’t going to pay my way through school so I had to pay my own way and ended up getting a job at the University of Washington in their wonderful wind tunnel. It was probably the top testing wind tunnel in the country,” In preparation for America’s possible entry into World War II, airplane manufacturers were bringing models of their aircrafts to the wind tunnel for aerodynamic testing “In those days, the students would run the wind tunnel, do all the maintenance on it and invent new ways to do the testing,” Myers recalled. One of the companies that impressed Myers was North American Aviation and one of the models he tested for North American eventually became the P-51 Mustang of World War II fame. After earning his B.S. in
aeronautical engineering in 1943, Myers joined North American Aviation in Los Angeles “and it turned out to be a good choice.” He soon found himself working to solve a problem that had developed in the P51D Mustang’s vertical tail. “When the pilot would kick hard rudder, the vertical tail would stall and the plane would go into an inverted spin that was very difficult to get out of. Some did, but some didn’t,” Myers said. “The first job I had as an aerodynamicist at North American was to figure out what to do about that,” he said. He designed an aerodynamic “wedge” for the front base of the vertical tail where it is joined to the fuselage that solved the problem and was incorporated into the design of new planes within four months and added to existing P-51s as a kit. The new, improved P51D went on to become the
favorite long-range bomber escort of WWII with a range of 1,650 miles, a max speed of 437 mph and a top cruising speed of 362 mph. “That gave me a leg up at North American,” Myers said, “and started me on a nice career with them.” When the military required an even longer range fighter to escort B-29s on bomber missions to Japan, North American came up with the idea of essentially joining two Mustangs together to create the F-82 Twin Mustang and Myers was assigned as the project aerodynamicist. Towards the end of WWII in Europe, Myers was given copies of captured German microfilm to study that revealed designs of swept-wing planes. “We were in the middle of building our first jet airplane for the Air Force. It had a straight wing, as did a jet that we had developed for the Navy. Another guy and I went to management and suggested using a sweptwing design.” The result was the F-86 Sabre Fighter swept-wing jet fighter that started flying in 1946 and gained air superiority in the Korean War with 757 air victories to 103 losses. During the mid-1950s and into the 1960s, Myers became a vice president and program manager with North American and worked on cruise missiles. In 1957, the Russians launched Sputnik 1, the first of a series of earth-orbiting artificial satellites that ignited the Cold War Space Race. “And that was the next big stimulus for me,” Myers said. The U.S. countered in 1961 with McDonnell Douglas building a Mercury capsule that carried astronaut Allan Sheppard into space “sub-orbitally,” which meant he got into space but didn’t orbit the earth in space. A month later, the Russians countered by sending astronaut Yuri Gagarin into space for one orbit around the earth. “It demonstrated to the world that the Russians had more power in their boosters than we had,” Myers said.

RSF resident heads fundraising effort for campus devoted to serving people with special needs BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR Rancho Santa Fe’s Dawn Hummel is proving her metal as chair of the capital campaign to raise funds for an innovative San Marcos university-style campus. The unique 30-acre campus is named the Charles R. Cono Campus for Life Quality. The campus was named for the lead benefactor who purchased the land for the Training, Education and Research Institute (TERI), a longstanding nonprofit organization that serves the needs of children and adults with developmental and learning disabilities. Hummel has taken on the challenge of heading up a committee to raise $20 million to complete the campus by 2014, with a goal to raise $5 million this year alone. The first phase of the campus was recently completed and a gala was held to celebrate the ribbon cutting of its first building, the Harriet E. Pfleger Therapeutic Equestrian Center. The Harriet E. Pfleger Foundation donated $1 million to build the horse barn which houses six horses and will serve 150 riders. The gala event, Cuvee delle Vite, chaired by Hummel, is TERI’s largest annual fundraiser to date. It was kicked off with a $100,000 donation from Grant General Contractors, partners for
construction of the new campus. In addition, sales of fine art created by clients of TERI and donations by family members and friends added more than $230,000 to the building fund. Hummel said that every fiber of her body and spirit is committed to this fundraising mission. She brings to this commitment a prior history as a determined trailblazer and advocate for those with autism and learning disabilities. She was a single mother living in Los Angeles when her son, Jonny, then 2-anda-half, was diagnosed with autism. That was almost 20 years ago when there weren’t many services and programs for children with autism, said Hummel. “It was left to the mothers who fought day and night to find out about autism, to fight for the services that we needed to get.” When Hummel moved to New York in 1992 she was frustrated that there was no school for Jonny close by. Through fundraising, she initially started a pre-school for special needs newborns through 5 year olds, and then founded the Child Development Center of the Hamptons, a learning center for K-7 special needs students that by 2001 became an inclusive environment that integrated regular students. In 2004 the center was housed in a permanent school structure that was
named The Zimmerman Hummel Building of Humanity in honor of Hummel whose “Open to All” philosophy was controversial at the time but now is fully recognized. Ironically, her son never benefited from these schools. “Fighting the education department to get approval for them always took two years, and he was always two years ahead of me,” Hummel explained. The family moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 2005 when Hummel learned of TERI’s Oceanside-based Learning Academy that serves students up to age 22. “People forget that children with autism become adults with autism, so I started looking all over the country for a school for Jonny with a program that he could be in for his lifetime,” Hummel explained. Founded in 1980 by Cheryl Kilmer, TERI is recognized as a model program in the state of California for the quality of services it provides to its clients. For Hummel’s family, it has brought immeasurable joy. “It is so wonderful to see Jonny enjoying life, and being so individual, so independent. I notice how happy he is, I see it in his eyes, I see it in his heart,” said Hummel. “And now Jonny is having the opportunity to go to college which is something that I am very proud of and that I

TPHS Visual and Performing Arts Week What were previously only two days of “VPA Day” and “For Art’s Sake,” is now an entire week for the 2,600-plus students and staff of the Torrey Pines High School community who are celebrating the arts. Kicking off the week prior to Memorial Day, they had the opportunity to experience and repeat the word “WOW” over and over as an impressive number of visual and performing arts students of this talented student body strutted their stuff under the direction of a diverse but incredibly talented group of teachers. On Tuesday, May 24, the visual artists held an opening reception in the magically transformed gallery space of what is normally the aging and tired Fine Arts building classrooms. The “For Art’s Sake” exhibit showcased artwork throughout the week from more than 200 student artists with proceeds from sales enriching the visual arts program. On Thursday the talented performing artists of award-winning dancers, musicians, singers and actors packed the Torrey Pines gymnasium for three energetic shows throughout the day. This ASB, staff, and artists’ collaboration to present such an amazing level of entertainment took months to pull together. With limited resources but no limit to talent the week of April 24-27 was serendipitous and appreciated by everyone who had the privilege of experiencing this growing community of exceptional talent at Torrey Pines High School.
Fiesta del Sol, an annual Solana Beach community celebration, has become one of the largest festivals in San Diego County. The free event returns the weekend of June 4 and 5. The 32nd annual fiesta will take place adjacent to Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach within the area bordered by South Sierra Avenue and Acacia Avenue. The two-day event opens each morning at 9 a.m. with the arts & crafts fair and closes each evening at 9 p.m. after the conclusion of the last musical performance. Among the many attractions will be a wide range of continuous live musical performers booked by the famed Belly Up Tavern, plus an eclectic array of arts and crafts exhibits, merchant booths, children’s activities, an internationalthemed food court and an adults-only beer and wine beverage garden.

TPHS dance program thriving; end-of-year dance is June 11 BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer There’s a new movement on the Torrey Pines High School campus and you’ll find it in the dance studio. Dressed all in black, the students there are engaged, lively and happy to be in a classroom free of desks where they can express themselves through dance. On their birthdays they have to use their bodies to spell out their names in front of the class—yes, even a “W” is possible with this crew. Last week the sea of black t-shirts was accessorized by a stream of tulle as tutus were trimmed for the big upcoming school dance show, the Expression Session. To be held on June 11 at 7 p.m. in the school gym, the year-end showcase will also feature art and film in addition to 24 choreographed dances ranging from hip hop to modern to a fun tribute to “*NSYNC.” Torrey Pines may be known more for athletics than art, but this year the dance team was among the sports teams bringing home championships. The lyrical and jazz group won the
Dance Drill Nationals in Anaheim on March 27. The dance department’s building hype and winning ways could be attributed to director Sarah Kaye, who joined the staff two years ago and has watched excitedly as she has tripled the number of students taking dance. Kaye was a professional dancer for over 20 years, dancing modern and ballet locally with McCaleb Dance in La Jolla and the Mojalet Dance Collective. She retired in 2006, her body tired from years of fulfilling her childhood dream. After Kaye was hired on as a guest artist at Canyon Crest Academy, she realized she really enjoyed the experience of teaching dance so she went back to school to get her teaching credential, finally landing at Torrey Pines. “I love it here, I couldn’t be happier,” Kaye said of her duties teaching “dance PE” and dance teams. Kaye has worked hard to incorporate modern dance and new forms of movement into the curriculum. At first the students resisted, it took
The winning Torrey Pines dance team with director Sarah Kaye, Caylee Shimizu, Alyssa Wright, Kelsey Richards, Perry Katz, Madison Tencer, Janelle Wen and Tara Aftahi. them awhile to open their minds to it and for Kaye to break through. “It’s so different,” said junior dancer Perry Katz. “At first I was confused and thought it was weird but it taught me more about my dancing because modern is the core for every style. I really do respect her for teaching us that.” Kaye said she hopes to never stop pushing and challenging her students to try new things. “The one thing I learned, being a new teacher, was the more you expect, the more you get from the kids,”

Kaye said. “I’ve been relentless on discipline and they’ve produced a lot more work, they’ve grown and gotten better.” This year 96 students showed up to audition for the dance team. With the interest up and talent high, Kaye was able to field a JV and varsity dance team. The dance team has 50 members, performing as spirited halftime entertainment at football games and also making appearances this year at basketball and lacrosse games. Since 2005, the dance team has also had coach Mi-
chael Langford, a professional in hip hop, modern and jazz, who also runs his own dance company in San Diego called On the Edge Dance Company. Langford handles the hip hop, getting students to pop, lock and do work. The dance department also has a 10-member hip hop crew—“We have bboys!” Kaye exclaimed in amazement, referencing their talented and very popular break dancers. “That’s why I love it here, it’s just so exciting.” The small jazz and lyrical group was the one that made school history at the Dance Drill Nationals, bringing the huge first place trophy and the judge’s award of excellence back to the Torrey Pines studio. “They’re the dream team,” said Kaye. The team includes Tara Aftahi, Caylee Shimizu, Madison Tencer, Alyssa Wright, Kelsey Richards, Perry Katz and Janelle Wen—seven girls, all best friends who are drama free and committed to dance, Kaye said. At the competition they performed two award-win-
ning routines, winning first place in lyrical with an emotional routine that “makes you cry it’s so beautiful,” Kaye said. They won third place in jazz performing the “Witches of Oz,” a modern, funky piece with Dorothy twisting through a tornado of six wicked witches. The girls all broke down in tears when they won the competition. “This year has been my favorite part of all four years of dance,” said senior Kelsey Richards. “It was really satisfying to win after four years of a lot of pain and suffering,” Both routines will be performed at the “Expression Session,” giving the audience a little peek at the new movement at Torrey Pines. “I want to show the routines off,” said Kelsey, who is headed to Notre Dame in the fall. “I’m really excited to do them again because I want the entire school to see them.” Tickets cost $5.

Former NFL coach devoted to giving back Local resident Dennis Green, a former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals, has lived his life by a simple motto: “Plan your work and work your plan.” It has served him well. During the 1990s, he had the most successful coaching record in the National Football League (NFL) — and, in fact, he is one of the most successful coaches in the league’s history. Green also has the highest winning percentage in the Vikings’ 40-year history: The team’s 15-1 season in 1998 is the second best for most points in a season in NFL history. Green grew up in the inner city of Harrisburg, Penn. He lost his parents early in life, as his mother and father died by the time he was 13. He became a star halfback with the University of Iowa Hawkeyes and graduated cum laude from the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in finance. As a young man he participated in athlete black power anti-segregation and anti-prejudice stands. Prior to coaching in the NFL, Green — as head coach — turned around the losing college football programs at Northwestern and Stanford universities. Throughout his career, he stayed committed to helping kids from the inner city. During every season, Green designated one day a week as “community day,” during which he and his players volunteered at churches, schools and local Boys & Girls Clubs. He has given generously of his time and money to many charities and community organizations. Green is now the head coach and general manager of the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League. Green also sits on the
Dennis and Marie Green Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito Board of Directors. Green has been honored by being inducted into the Boys & Girls Clubs National Hall of Fame. He and his wife Marie are chairing the “Bright Futures Breakfast” on June 8 at 7:30 a.m. This complimentary breakfast at Harper Branch will spotlight the many ongoing efforts by the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito to serve local youth. 1. What brought you to this neighborhood? My wife Marie and I were on vacation in L.A. 16 years ago and decided to drive down. We happened upon the L’Auberage and loved it. We decided it would be the location of our wedding and we never looked back. 2. What makes this town special to you? The people are nice and get along well, the weather is the best and it’s really an easy way of life here. 3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area?
SELF SERVE FROZEN YOGURT!
I would provide a job for everybody who wants and needs one. 4. Who or what inspires you? My kids, Vanessa and Zachary, inspire me every day. 5.

The Don Diego Fund has awarded $5,000 college scholarships to four outstanding, college-bound, San Diego County high school seniors. The Fund annually provides scholarships to youth who have been associated with activities at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and who plan to pursue higher education. Each $5,000 scholarship is awarded to a student in one of four categories, This year’s recipients/categories are: Katelyn O’Brian, FFA; Brett Huff, 4H, Daniel Menno, employee; and TPHS senior Prithvi Undavalli, exhibitor. The students will be recognized at The Don Diego Fund’s Doobie Brothers Dinner and Concert Gala taking place at the San Diego County Fair on June 21, 2011. Ticket packPrithvi Undavalli ages are still available at several levels, including individual tickets for $150. For details, see www.dondiegofund.org. A selection committee comprised of Don Diego Board members chose the winning recipients after conducting panel interviews with impressive finalists culled from dozens of applicants. Executive Director Chana Mannen states, “The selection process is rigorous, comprehensive and competitive. Prospective recipients are evaluated based on many criteria, including academics, school activities, community service and motivation to succeed. Each year’s group is extraordinary and each student is so deserving; the Don Diego Class of 2011 is certainly no exception. Their schools, talents and fields of interest vary, but these four students share a passion for excellence and a wholehearted focus on their future.” Step aside, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg: the new generation has arrived in the person of TPHS senior Prithvi Undavalli, whose computer work already has gone beyond what UCSD Assistant Professor Ross Walker says he has witnessed “of some top PhD candidates.” In addition to earning accolades such as “brilliant,” a “natural leader” and a “fast learner,” Prithvi is a successful entrepreneur who is creator-CEO of T-Tek Computer Repair. He traces his interest in technology to a broken cellphone that he took apart as a young child. He combines this interest with a compassion for the less fortunate and has developed what he says is “a new wireless transmission infrastructure for FM communications devices that could be utilized in underdeveloped countries to transmit vital information.” Upon graduating from Torrey Pines High with a 3.98 GPA, Prithvi will take his considerable talents to MIT.

That was settled in late 1962, early 1963.” Both program managers were replaced and, in 1964, for North American-Rockwell, Myers was appointed project manager for the building of the Apollo Command Module and for the lunar-landing Service Module.

An investigation concluded that the most likely cause of the fire was a short circuit in a bundle of wires to the left and just in front of Command Pilot Grissom’s seat. “When we had that fire in 1967, many people thought we could not make

Local resident brings Urban Girl Accessories to Del Mar Plaza BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer If you’ve been to the Del Mar Plaza in the past few weeks, you’ve likely seen the paper-covered windows next-door to Smashburger. The paper has now been removed, revealing downtown’s newest addition, Urban Girl Accessories. Inside you’ll find owner Annie Glenn, who is depicted in the store’s logo wearing a sunglasses and flip-flops — her “everyday uniform,” as she explains. This local resident is the embodiment of “fun, trendy, and kitchy style,” and her store is full of things that help her define that. “I wanted to create a
place filled with beautiful things, the kind of place where you walk in and sigh and feel immediately relaxed because it appeals to your senses,” she said. You’ll find, for example, a hearty selection of unique jewelry, like rings made from vintage buttons. And home items, such as scented soy candles. There’s also a kids’ corner, beachwear, tote bags, and bath and body products. Glenn also prides herself on philanthropic-based items, so she carries an extensive selection of TOMS shoes, which gives a pair of shoes to a child in need with each purchase. She also carries a line of jewelry made with

living and provide for their children. This Del Mar store is the latest in a line of entrepreneurial ventures for Glenn. She and her husband Chris started their retail work many years ago
with a t-shirt and hat kiosk at Seaport Village. That business soon grew into their fist store, American Nostalgia. The couple continued to steadily grow their business, adding a new store every few years. Now, two children and many years later, the couple owns three stores in Seaport Village: American Nostalgia, San Diego Surf Company, and the original Urban Girl Accessories. Glenn decided to open a second Girl Accessories store in North County after prodding from her friends and fans who wanted something closer to home. It was during a visit to Smashburger with her children that Glenn
spotted the vacant storefront in the Del Mar Plaza, and the rest, as they say, is history. “This was the perfect location for Urban Girl Accessories, and I guess I have Smashburger to thank for finding it,” she quipped. “I am so excited to be here in Del Mar and I hope everyone comes in to say hello. I would love to make Urban Girl Accessories one of their favorite places.” For more information, please visit urbangirlaccessories.com.

sponsor groups. Stiehl and Claudia Loeber led a DPLU review of state law and of activities undertaken by other jurisdictions. “They were really cooperative. The county’s been cooperative. Stiehl did a great job,” said John Degenfelder. “It’s really neat to get all this squared away.” Stiehl noted that the county’s equine regulations consist of horsekeeping, which allows for private use on properly-zoned parcels, and commercial stables. Commercial stables include boarding and breeding operations, which do not involve visitors from the general public, and commercial stables also include public stables which provide riding lessons, training, trail rides, equestrian events, and other activities which attract members of the public. The equine regulations were developed more than 30 years ago as part of the county’s Zoning Ordinance. The update will focus on com-
bers of our district. This agreement has allowed us to continue providing excellent service to our residents while saving the district money.” Del Mar City Council Member Mark Filanc said, “This is one of the programs that truly is a win for all. The City of Del Mar is very happy with the results and it’s great to be recognized for our efforts. “The bottom-line of this agreement is that we are doing much more with much less and that means better public safety with better fiscal responsibility. We are committed to continuing to look for ways to improve service and reduce costs.” says Encinitas City Council Member Jerome Stocks. Solana Beach City Council Member Dave Roberts said, “In this day and age, we all need to do whatever we can to maximize efficiencies and save public money while providing top-notched customer service.”

continued from page 2 one less ongoing project for future boards to worry about. In addition to addressing several ongoing projects, the current board has had a good deal of success in setting the foundation for future boards as well. The list starts with the formation of a special Long Range Planning Committee to take a look at the needs of our community for the next 10 years. The purpose of the AdHoc Committee was to take a hard look at the issues that are currently impacting our community and concerns that potentially could impact us in the future. The committee’s first step was to survey the membership on the issues that are a concern to the members and to solicit feedback on new and existing projects and programs. The results were both interesting and enlightening and will be the foundation for future projects. Based on the survey results, there are two new areas that community has a great deal of interest in and want us to devote time and resources to address. The first is improving broad band coverage in the Covenant and the second is to develop a system for electronic communication with our members. The Long Ranging Planning Committee is working on their final report and will have their recommendations ready for the board by the end of June. The report will outline a suggested plan for implementing the new programs. Although both programs appear to be fairly easy to implement on the surface, as I mentioned earlier, nothing is ever easy. To make sure they are done correctly and address the needs of the members to the greatest extent possible, both programs will be time consuming and expensive to implement. It will be the challenge of future boards to build on the foundation that is currently being
mercial stables and is not likely to change horsekeeping zoning. Issues which will be considered include traffic, noise, flies and other vectors, stormwater, dust and grading concerns, size of the operation and parcel, and proximity to neighbors. DPLU staff developed four options. Option A would allow horse stables with ministerial rather than discretionary permits. Option B is the tiered ordinance which based on the property size and number of horses would require a ministerial permit for some activities, an administrative permit (which involves notification to neighboring properties and public review but does not require a hearing unless one is requested by any party) for larger activities, and a Minor Use Permit or Major Use Permit for the largest operations. Option C would require discretionary permits for all commercial stables but would change some use permit requirements to the administrative
established on these projects and carry them forward to reality. I look forward to the day when I have high-speed internet access anywhere in my home and read the latest information from the Association on my e-mail. In addition to picking up the ball on existing projects and setting the foundation for future community enhancements, the board also addresses special projects that come up during the year and priorities established by the board at the beginning of the year. In August the board established a list of priorities to complete this year and I am pleased to report that we will have addressed all of the top priorities by the end of the year. One of these projects that has very little curb appeal but will greatly enhance our ability to serve our members is the electronic filing of all Associations property files. Currently, the files are maintained in their original form dating back over 80 years. Once the filing is complete every member will have access to their property and building files electronically and future submittals may be made electronically. The end result will be greater access by members to their information and a significant savings in time and money for our members. Additionally, the electronic filing will protect the integrity of the files and significantly reduce the area needed to store files. Another priority of the board was to review the community’s Open Space Program that dates back to 1996. The first step in that process was to include questions in the survey about the program to poll the members on thoughts about continuing to acquire open space. It was clear from the survey results that Open Space Program is still popular with a majority of the members, but the board believes that it is due for an overhaul. Again, the foundation has been laid through the survey and the
permit process. Option D would maintain the current regulations with no changes. Option A or Option B would require a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report. A funding source for that EIR would be identified before the ordinance and the corresponding EIR are developed, and the Planning Commission hearing on the actual ordinance would not take place until the EIR has been circulated for public review. The equestrian stakeholders didn’t object to Option A but realized that Option B was the most reasonable measure and accepted the tiered ordinance concept. “A compromise on Option B is a very good plan,” said Patty Morton of the Twin Oaks Valley Equestrian Association. “A tiered ordinance would strike a balance,” Stiehl said. “It addresses direction to the board and stakeholder concerns.”
task will now fall on future boards to pick up the ball. This year we have updated our website, explored the possibility of recovering fees for the additional traffic enforcement that is funded by the Association, and completed the subdivision process on the Osuna Ranch. All this has been accomplished while keeping a very close eye on the financial condition of the Association. It is no surprise to anyone that these are very difficult economic times for everyone and homeowners associations throughout the state are being hard hit. The overall strength of any homeowners association is directly reflected in the value of homes within their community. Inadequate reserves or lack of funds for maintenance has a direct impact on individual property values. Our Finance Committee, under the leadership of our Association Treasurer Jack Queen, has kept a close eye on our finances. We started off the year with an overall net drop in property values for the first time in our history. This drop decreased our budgeted assessment revenue by over $150,000. The assessment loss combined with our historically high delinquency rates presented an early challenge for us to stay on budget. However, during the year we were able to reduce our budgeted expenses, including a reduction in staff, by almost 5 percent which more than offset the loss of revenue. To adjust to changing market conditions, we reassigned staff and focused our attention to staying on top of our receivables and making sure we minimized the impact of foreclosed properties. These efforts, combined with our receipt of funds from the sale of the New York property, resulted in a projected operating surplus for the current year of $505,000 — an unheard of achievement for a homeowners association in these difficult times. As for foundations for
next year’s board, we have sent out a proposed budget to the membership that has controls on expenses including some wage freezes, a reduction in staff and a reduction in benefits for new hires. At the same time the proposed budget maintains our current assessment rate of 14 cents. As you can see the State of the Association is very good and is well positioned to take on future challenges. In closing I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the efforts of the entire Association board and staff this year. In addition to my comments regarding Jack and Deb, Dick Doughty has been rock solid on the board and a tremendous help to the board and staff. Dick’s attention to detail is unsurpassed and his courage to take a stand on issues, even if the vote is 6 to 1, is commendable and has earned him the respect of his fellow board members. We had three new board members this year in Anne Feighner, Roxana Foxx, and Jack Dorsee. All three have been more than willing to give up their time and talents to serve. All of them not only have completed their responsibilities as board members but have each volunteered to serve as liaisons to standing committees and help with special projects. I also would like to thank Pete Smith and the entire Association staff. They have collectively provided the Association board with a tremendous amount of support. They have also taken on additional work to make up for employees that have departed. Simply put they have performed their jobs with consistent sustained professionalism. My compliments to Pete, Steve Comstock, Robert Green, Dick Brockett, Matt Wellhouser and their employees. A job well done. A friend asked me recently about my experience on the board and if three years was too much? My immediate response was that it was “just right!”

SD Diplomacy Council honors local resident Stephen Brown with ‘Global Citizen Diplomat’ Award for his work in Afghanistan The San Diego Diplomacy Council (SDDC) has selected local resident, philanthropist and activist Stephen R. Brown, a retired partner at Luce Forward who has amassed seemingly impossible accomplishments in Afghanistan in the area of education, technology and medicine, for its annual “Global Citizen Diplomat Award.” Brown will be honored at the organization’s annual meeting, June 16, at El Vitral restaurant 815 J Street. Brown’s commitment to the people of Afghanistan is one of the positives to come out of the 9-11 tragedy. “In the days after 9-11, I made a promise to myself to do something meaningful to help my country fight the war on terror and to make another attack less likely,” he said. Little did he know the consequences of that internal vow. For the past nine years he has devoted as much as 60 hours a week, amassed contributions in the millions, and made 11 trips to Afghanistan. Fellow Rotarian Fary Moini from the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary spurred his initial interest shortly after 9-11. By November 2002, they and

tremendous advances at the university, starting with the creation of a satellite-based computer lab, financed by Brown and John Moores, then owner of the San Diego Padres. Brown and friends have brought numerous professors to San Diego and other U.S. cities on exchanges and for graduate-level coursework. They have helped put together two World Bank-funded partnerships between NU and San Diego State University, valued at approximately $2 million each, which support an English language program and a civil engineering program. They also have built and furnished a dormitory for female students on the NU campus. Brown’s largesse soon spread to other institutions throughout Jalalabad, including the Nangarhar Public Hospital and Nangarhar Medical School. “We’ve introduced telemedicine enabling local medical professionals to collaborate with their peers around the world,” he said. “For example, Dr. Stephen Dorros, director of UCSD Radiology, has reviewed 200 CAT scans from Jalalabad.” To encourage additional involvement and exchanges, Brown helped establish a Sister Cities relationship between San Diego and Jalalabad in 2004. “The time I have spent working with my friends in Jalalabad has been the most rewarding experience in my life,” Brown said. “Our efforts have directly affected thousands of people – and thousands more are aware of our efforts. It can’t help but counter anti-American propaganda advanced by extremists. We’re providing hard evidence of how Americas are and what we stand for.” Ticket information for the June 16 event, which will include a presentation by Stephen Brown, is available at

Inspirational resident who lost limbs to be recognized at ‘Victories of Spirit’ event Kyla Winters was hospitalized more than 3 months from bacterial meningitis
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY CATHERINE KOLONKO Contributor Bacterial meningitis caused Kyla Winters of Carmel Valley to lose both her legs to amputation but she can walk again and still considers herself lucky. In the summer of 2009, she was with a group of friends when she suddenly felt awful and told them to get her to a hospital, quick. She recalls telling them somewhat prophetically that she was dying and that they needed to call an ambulance. She was rushed to Scripps Mercy Hospital emergency department in Hillcrest. “Within 24 hours I had kidney failure,� says Winters, 39, who relies on the memory of her twin sister to tell her story. Much of what happened for the next three months that Winters remained in the hospital is a blur. She recalls nothing of her stint in the hospital intensive care unit (ICU), partly, doctors explained, because of a condition called ICU psychosis, when the body undergoes such daily stress that the memory tends to fail.
“I was in ICU four weeks,� said Winters. “I don’t remember being in the hospital.� Doctors had conducted numerous tests, a CT scan, and x-rays and were fairly certain that there was no brain damage, said Liana Thomas, Winters’ twin sister who took the first flight to San Diego upon hearing of her sister’s hospitalization. “We were all worried because mentally she would be awake but kind of delirious, and meningitis often will affect the brain,� Thomas said. Doctors in the emergency department quickly administered antibiotics. One more hour without medical intervention and she might have died, says Winters, a couple hours earlier and she might now have more limbs. “You die very, very quickly,� Winters said, describing what she later learned about the disease. Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord and can result from a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. Bacterial meningitis like that which Winters experienced is a respiratory condition that is acutely life threatening. Also known as meningococcemia, symptoms include high fever, headaches, a rash, and stiffness in the neck. Winters learned later that she

I’m sort of a workaholic.� Winters was hospitalized for more than three months. Before turning the corner to recovery, her blood pressure plummeted several times and she suffered three cardiac arrests and respiratory and kidney failure, resulting in amputa-
tion of both legs and all fingers. She was dying from the meningitis and doctors at one point gave her less than 10 percent chance of survival, she said. The effects of meningitis left her legs, fingers and thumbs septic with disease that ultimately required amputation. Winters giggles slightly and explains that she has gross photos of her blackened limbs before they were amputated in October of 2009. “Basically all the blood rushes to your organs to try to save your life,� she said. She has since had several operations to stretch skin and sculpt what is left of her hands in a way that allows her to grasp objects. A metal plate implanted in her hand serves somewhat like the thumb that was amputated. “It gives me my functionality because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to pick things up,� said Winters, demonstrating how it works by lifting a prosthetic leg that she has just removed in order to sit more comfortably. More operations on her hands are planned using bolts that will have to be turned six times a day in order to lengthen the bone. In the meantime, she is learning new ways to do things without fingers. After her hospitalization, Winters devoted months to rehabilitation at Vibra Hospital and Sharp
Hospital and Rehabilitation where she learned how to use her new prosthetic legs and reshaped, fingerless hands. Her courage to overcome adversity will be recognized by Sharp HealthCare Foundation during its annual Victories of Spirit event on June 3. She is among five people to receive the Eagle Spirit Award that symbolizes the Navajo sign of the most potent healing power. “We celebrate not only their amazing stories but celebrate their commitment to giving back to the community to benefit others,� Sharp’s System Director of Rehabilitation Services David Brown said in a news release. The most challenging moments of Winters’ rehabilitation happened when she tried to stand for the first time. At first she was afraid to try to stand using prosthetic legs. Her doctors were concerned about her progress because the process from standing to walking is usually gradual, she said. “It took me a while to get to the standing position but then when I was able to stand, I pretty much started walking right away,� Winters said. “So at first they were like ‘what’s taking her so long.’ Then I was immediately walking and they were surprised by that.�

En Fuego Cantina & Grill, which means “on fire” in Spanish, is a hot spot in town, often attracting large parties and hosting daily happy hours. This two-level establishment offers several seating areas for guests to casually enjoy Mexican dishes, seafood and drinks. Upstairs, which is street-level, is “La Tienda,” a chili pepper red-colored room that was the site of Del Mar’s first restaurant. Now the home of En Fuego’s wine bar, La Tienda is decorated with Mexican artwork handpicked by owner John Wingate, including religious symbols and mirrors. The wine bar is adjacent to a covered, open-air Guests kick back at the downstairs bar at sidewalk cafe, with heat lamps and flags in En Fuego Cantina & Grill. various colors hanging from the rafters.

Walk under a nearby arch and breathe in night-blooming jasmine — there’s another seating area that is shady and colorful, with bougainvillea and additional flags overhead. Private dining is available for up to a dozen guests, and parties with a maximum of 200 people can be accommodated, Wingate said.

And each month the establishment works with a charity and will often hold a celebrity bartender night, in which 10 percent of sales go to the organization. Some charities may opt for an evening where they can receive a percentage of proceeds from menu items ordered, or they may earn $1 from each sale of a specially created mixed drink for the entire month. To make the most of the En Fuego experience, Wingate recommends that guests enter La Tienda, sample some wine, make a selection, and then choose food dishes based on their decision. “Taco Tuesdays and Wine Wednesdays are both home runs” as well, he said.

GojiGirls Star champions
GojiGirls Sweep Jr. Dunkers Championships The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center Girls Jr. Dunkers Basketball League finished up an exciting spring season with the GojiGirls winning both the Rookie (3rd-4th grade) and Star (5th-6th grade) divisions. In the Rookie Championship game the GojiGirls defeated the Black Plague 16-9 and were led by the outstanding play of Racquel Aguirre, Brynne Faltinsky and Brooke Buchner. “We had a fabulous team effort all season long and our defense was outstanding in the Championship,” stated Co-Coach Tricia Faltinsky. In the Star League Championship game the GojiGirls led the Scrappers from the start, but a furious late game rally, led by the play of Ashley Martin and Erin McBurnett, put the John Lefferdink Coached Scrappers up by 1 with 1 minute left. That’s when the hot shooting of GojiGirl Layne Faltinsky took over. First she put the GojiGirls up by 1 with an outstanding spinning drive to the basket. Then she iced the game with a 15 foot jumper from the right side giving the GojiGirls a hardfought 27-24 win. “I couldn’t be more proud of the girls,” stated Co-Coach Ray Faltinsky, “They played hard all season long and truly gave their best effort from start to finish.” Jessica Faltinsky led the GojiGirls with 12 rebounds and 4 assists and Erin Harrington and Brynne Faltinsky both scored key baskets down the stretch. The Girls Junior Dunker’s program is a popular yearly program facilitated by the local Community Center.

RSF Shooting Stars win championship in Carmel Valley Open Youth Basketball A high potential group of second, third and fourth grade boys from Rancho Santa Fe recently captured the Grades 3-4 Boys Division at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center. Starting in March and ending with the Championship Game on May 25, the RSF Shooting Stars finished the regular season with a 6-1 record and captured the first place trophy in the playoffs. Coached by Steve Thomas, a Fairbanks Ranch resident, the RSF Shooting Stars were able to learn and play the complete game of basketball. Coach Thomas said: “Most 3/4 grade leagues play on a 9-foot basket and restrict the type of defense you can play. This league played on a 10-foot basket and we were able to teach man-to-man, zone, zone trap, doubleteaming, and full-court press. It was real basketball for 8, 9, and 10 year-olds. They picked it up fast in practice and excelled in league play. These boys were really hard to score on. The score of the championship game was 34-16.” In addition to great play on the hardwood (the staff at the CVRC nicknamed the team “The Show”) the boys also displayed outstanding sportsmanship. Coach Thomas added: “we had one team in the league that was less talented than the other teams. Our MVP, Luc Krystkowiak, volunteered to sit out the game and give his playing time to others. He could have stayed home and played video games, but he came and sat on the bench and gave his teammates his full support.”

Playing 12 different instruments sends Oregon student Emily Grether, 13, into a state of bliss. With his love of swimming, New York student Pau Vilchez, 16, aspires to beat Michael Phelps one day. Aside from being exceptionally driven, these teens have something else in common. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all made a choice to pursue their passions over using drugs, a reflection of the message in the 2011 Natural High Contest. And these teens are three of the six national winners. The winning video in the high school category was a group entry belonging to Sam Cook, Jack Parzaile and Brica Lampe from Canyon Crest Academy. The contest asked youths to express via video, picture or essay, their Natural High and how using drugs and alcohol could keep them from pursuing it to the fullest.

BY MARY E. LIU Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to introduce and welcome a new board member, Jill Stiker, to the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild as she will serve as our Member-at-Large. Jill moved to the Ranch in 1979 with her parents Jill Stiker and attended Torrey Pines High School. She attended UCLA and worked in Cincinnati for Star-Kist Seafood while her husband, John, worked across town at Proctor & Gamble. Jill and her family moved back to Rancho Santa Fe in 1997. She is a mother to triplet boys (Christian, Nicholas, and Tanner) who have experienced all the facets of the library, from storytime through computer-assisted homework assignments, as they attended R.R. Rowe School. Jill now keeps busy escorting them to Cathedral Catholic High School where they are freshmen active in many different sports. Jill loves to read (she favors historical fiction), travel, and walking her dogs through the Ranch. She looks forward to
serving on the board. Starting June 1 and running through Aug. 5 will be our Summer Reading Program for the children. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;ONE WORLD, MANY STORIESâ&#x20AC;? and our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff is gearing up with the County to offer many reading opportunities, arts and crafts, and special programming during these nine weeks.

Kids Korps 16th Annual Gala, Red Haute Tango, a huge success! Since its founding in 1995, Kids Korps has held an annual gala. The first gala had humble beginnings but was a success nonetheless. In that first year, “Swing for Kids” was held on the lawn of the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, proudly raising $35,000. Over the decade to follow, Kids Korps’ gala attracted a celebrity following, with Wendy Walker, producer of Larry King Live, bringing in emcee Larry King and guests that have included Katie Couric, Wayne Newton, Ryan Seacrest, and Suzanne Somers. The Kids Korps “Super Star Gala” became a top performer on the gala circuit in terms of funds and awareness raised “to develop leaders for life through youth volunteerism.” Over the years, the“Super Star” gala has evolved beyond a fundraiser to become a celebration of Kids Korps volunteers, more than 6,000 strong, and the supportive community, chairs, committee and sponsors who make Kids Korps’ work possible and so rewarding to all involved from volunteer to service recipient. The 2011 “Red Haute Tango” gala was an evening when new families, new faces, new youth and teens, and new programs joined long-time supporters, sponsors and recipients alike in a celebration that included but went far beyond fundraising. Thanks to Chapter Leader Andrea Carrier’s wonderful choreography of a youth vocal performance of “The Giving Tree,” and the pictorial backdrop created by board member, Dr. Keith Kanner, the voices and faces of youth warmed our hearts and helped us remember that no one is too young to make a difference. The evening at The Grand Del Mar was a gorgeous occasion thanks to Event Chairs Maggie and Gary Bobileff, Community Chairs Connie & Bill McNally, and Honorary Chairs Denise and Bertrand Hug and our dedicated event committee. A very special thanks to our 2010- 2011 Sponsors and Partners, including Denise & Bertrand Hug & The Julien Hug Memorial Fund, SDG&E & The Sempra Energy Foundation, The Starbucks Foundation, The County of San Diego, Corky’s Pest Control, California Bank & Trust, Ranch & Coast Magazine, Barbara & Dick Enberg, The Lawrence Welk Family Foundation, Menashe Family Charitable Fund, C.W.

SPIRIT continued from page B3 Winters has set a goal to return in a year to her position as chief development officer for the Alpha Project for the Homeless, where she worked for the past 13 years. While on disability leave, she volunteers as often as possible for the Alpha Project and mentors people like herself who have lost limbs to amputation. Her rehabilitation has been helped along by others without limbs who she met on a web site where they share tips about how to function as amputees. She learned to place colorful, sticky plastic flags like those used for documents on her credit cards to make it easier to pull them from her wallet or an ATM machine. And when she first started driving a car again, it was friends at the web site that informed her that she did not have to use special equipment just because she wears prosthetics. Winters’ twin sister, husband and children moved from Alameda to San Diego to help with her recovery. From the beginning, Liana played a major role in her rehabilitation and wanted to do everything possible to help, including donate limbs if necessary, Winters said. Ultimately, she donated a kidney that was
transplanted into Winters’ body in the fall of 2010, allowing her to finally come off kidney dialysis. Initially, her sister was pregnant with her second child and therefore unable to donate a kidney right away. So Winters endured 10 hours of daily dialysis for a year while waiting for the right time for the transplant. Liana and her 4-year-old son kept the dialysis machine operating with daily changes in liquids to keep it running smoothly. “My nephew helped,” Winters said. “He knew what buttons to push.” “It was pretty uncomfortable,” she recalled about life during dialysis. “I’m so glad to be off it.” Whenever possible, Winters likes to encourage people to learn about the meningitis vaccine and to consider being an organ donor. She says she is living proof that organ donation saves lives. She is also fortunate that because her kidney came from her twin she does not require as much immunosuppressant medication to prevent her body from rejecting her new organ. Winters is excited about the next step in her rehabilitation which will include learning to walk with a different set of legs that can accommodate high heels. While she views herself as a tough and committed fighter for better

lives for people who are homeless, she also has another side to her personality that has always loved heels, lip gloss, and being feminine. Before her illness, people teased her about why she drove such a “junky car” and she often replied it was because she liked her shoes, joked Winters. She liked them so much, that the twins now laugh at Liana’s initial reaction to hearing the word amputation because her first thoughts were how devastated her sister would be if she could no longer wear high heels. Other changes that Winters has had to adjust to include temporarily giving up her beloved pet greyhound Diego. She looks forward to the day they can be reunited but for now he lives with a friend because she is unable to take him for daily walks. She is still getting used to living without her natural legs and sometimes falls because she forgets she doesn’t have them. Despite her setbacks and the challenges ahead, she is grateful for the love of family and looks at life as she did before her medical ordeal, with hope and optimism, she said. “I’m so lucky to have a twin. I don’t look like I’m lucky but I am. Not a lot of people survive bacterial meningitis and most of them don’t have identical twins.”

Your Family Matters: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: College Bound BY DR. KEITH KANNER First there is graduation day and then, in just a few months, many San Diego young adults will be leaving the comfort of their homes, family, and friends to embark upon a new stage in their lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;the life of college.â&#x20AC;? On the surface, many state excitement, relief, and motivation, but just beneath the surface is some anxiety based on the unknown and having to face the new found tasks of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young Adulthood.â&#x20AC;? Going away to college is much more than merely going to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;biggerâ&#x20AC;? school and having to â&#x20AC;&#x153;work harder.â&#x20AC;? It involves greater independence and required self-sufficiency which many have never experienced due to the common and needed involvement of family helping them with daily tasks, such as cooking, laundry and finance. Becky, a 17-year-old student hoping to be on her way to the University of Arizona, recently realized that she did not know how to do her own laundry; Steven, a hopeful freshman-to-be at Berkeley, has never owned an alarm clock because he has been used to his parents waking him up every morning to get ready for school; Sally, excited about maybe starting UCLA in the fall, has never had her own checking account and debit card stating that this was â&#x20AC;&#x153;something I never really thought about until nowâ&#x20AC;?; Peter has never had a girlfriend or been on a date. In fact, he was so dedicated to his studies in order to get into Harvard, he never went to a single party or dance in high school. He recently stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do you talk to girls?â&#x20AC;?
Leaving home thrusts the adolescent into a new stage of development: Young Adulthood and additionally shifts parents into a further stage of Middle Adulthood. Both of these new stages involve greater tasks and adjustment to a new life phase. For the Young Adult, being Dr. Keith Kanner on their own makes them more personally accountable and having to rely on their personal knowledge, experience, and intuition to get through each and every day. The Young Adult who has greater knowledge and experience based on some preparedness, tends to adjust better and faster than the ones who do not have such knowledge. Research indicates that the adjustment to the first year of college is much more about adjusting to being independent and outside the comfort of their family, than the academic requirements of college itself. It is common for the college freshman to call home frequently, become homesick, ask a lot of questions, and still need mom and dad to help them adjust to this new time in their lives. In fact, the students who are least psychologically and practically prepared can become depressed and in some cases have to return closer to home to complete their college experience.
Parents who truly understand this shift and work together in advance with their growing son or daughter to become prepared, leave their child in a better condition than the parents who believe that their job is over and their child is â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of their nest.â&#x20AC;? Sitting down in advance and having discussions about leaving home, practically setting up important living essentials, such as a checking account, and reviewing situations and independent tasks, is essential as well as making more than one visit, if possible, to the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;college homeâ&#x20AC;? prior to leaving in the fall in order to become better acquainted and familiar with a new environment. Parents also need to go visit, at least a few times if possible, during freshman year just to make sure everything is going well and to be supportive to their son or daughter. For the parents, having their child leave home is bittersweet. On the one hand, there is a sense of feeling proud and happy for their child that they have survived adolescence, but there is also a sense of loss that a bedroom and place at the dinner table is empty. Coming home for a holiday is not the same as them living at home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; college is their new home as it represents their future as an independent adult. Here, the parent is also having to change and grow based on loss. Shifting into a new stage of adulthood means reviewing lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals and desires. For many couples, children leaving home allows for greater intimacy that had been on hold for a number of years due to the important investment of parenting. Opportunities can now arise for time together embarking on reviving aspects in the adult relationship that were placed on hold. After Tom and Susie dropped off their daughter Zoe at U.C. Santa Barbara last year, they decided to take the coast highway home and ended up spontaneously stopping for two
nights in Big Sur for a little vacation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, stated Susie, we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to do that for 17 years! that was fun!â&#x20AC;? Changing and shifting developmentally is both exciting and a little scary. It also involves some mourning of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old daysâ&#x20AC;? which we see when those high school students and parents cry at graduation and after dropping off their new adult at college. Families who talk about these changes and plan ahead accordingly adapt best to these new stages of development and better relish with new opportunities. Many parents boast with how mature their child has become when they come to visit from college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They seem so grown up...they are actually nice to us...they help clean up...they even ask how we are doing...I thought none of us were going to make it through adolescence, but now we are closer than ever, like we were when they were little kids...â&#x20AC;? Key Points: 1. Going off to college is a complete developmental shift for both the adolescent and parent alike 2. Change is both exciting yet scary 3. Anticipation and planning ahead is essential this spring and summer 4. Relationships with children become more contemporary over time Dr. Keith Kanner is host/anchor - Your Family Matters - WSRADIO; contributor to LifeChanger, Extra TV; a syndicated columnist; author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Family Matters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Solutions to Common Parental Dilemmasâ&#x20AC;?

Host families needed for international exchange students International high school exchange students are coming to study in the North County area during the 2011-12 school year. These students will integrate themselves into a local family with the goal of experiencing American culture as an American high school student does. In turn they will provide insight into their own culture. STS Foundation, a non-profit student exchange organization, is proud to help facilitate these relationships. They have been doing so for the past 20 years and look forward to finding new host families in North County and connecting them with exchange students.
Two of the students STS is looking for host families in the area for this year are Noemi and Francesco. Noemi is a 17-year-old girl from Luxembourg who has a passion for music. She is part of her school’s band where she sings and plays guitar. Noemi also enjoys being a scout, spending time amongst the nature and camping out. She loves kids and is the leader of a group of children where they play games and plan activities amongst the nature. Francesco is a 17-year-old boy from a small town in Italy who has practiced gymnastics at competitive level and has won several regional competitions. He enjoys
going to the gym, swimming, and spending time with his family and friends. They are both excellent students and will have their own spending money and health insurance. The host family provides a separate bed, family meals and a loving and safe environment. If your family is interested in being a host family, please call Lillian Clemente at 1-800-522-4678 or send an email to lillian@stsfoundation.org. For more information visit www.stsfoundation.org.

How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Rancho Santa Fe properties. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information.

What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in Rancho Santa Fe can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. Rancho Santa Fe real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, Rancho Santa Fe real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.
