Bond workshop focuses on financing High school district discussion is first in a series BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) is kicking off the new year with planning for its $449 million bond that will help improve and upgrade the district’s nine campuses and add a 10th campus (a middle school) in Pacific Highlands Ranch (located in Carmel Valley). The first of four bond issuances is set for April. The board held the first of a series of bond workshops on Jan. 9, this first one focusing on bond financing issues. District Superintendent Ken Noah said the board would not be picking color schemes or making carpet decisions just yet, these workshops will be more detail-oriented “nuts and bolts” information on the immediate next steps. “We have to do our due diligence in keeping the board actively informed and involved all the way as we move forward,” Noah said. “We have a great responsibility to the public…there’s lots of scrutiny with what districts do with public funds and we need to be very thoughtful, careful and systematic in our planning.” Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, said the first draw would be $160 million this spring. At the district board’s Feb. 7 meeting, the board plans to pass a resolution authorizing the issuance and terms of sale of the See WORKSHOP, page 26

Schools to adopt new methodology in 2014-15 Common Core State Standards designed to provide students with real world skills BY KAREN BILLING Starting in the 2014-15 school year, all school districts K-12 will plunge into a whole new way of learning when the Common Core State Standards are implemented. The new educational methodology aims to provide students with the practical real world skills
they will need for college and their careers, more coherent and focused standards, more depth in understanding and higher levels of rigor for all learners. There will be a standards-based report card and the Common Core will come with a whole new assessment— there will be no
more STAR tests. “Common Core is definitely the buzzword, it’s everywhere,” said Cindy Schaub, assistant superintendent of the Rancho Santa Fe School District. “It’s a way to prepare children for the challenges of the constantly changing world.” The Rancho Santa Fe

School District board received its first look at Common Core during a presentation at the Jan. 10 meeting. A parent information session will be held on Feb. 27 at 1:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center to help parents wrap their heads around this new way of learning and instruction. A
second information session will be held in March. “This is a long time coming,” said Schaub. “I can remember the roots of this 20 years ago. Global competitiveness is pushing us.” Over the years, U.S. See METHODOLOGY, page 26
No current plans to bring Spanish back to RSF Elementary School BY KAREN BILLING For now, the Rancho Santa Fe School District will not be bringing back Spanish at the elementary school level. The board looked at the issue as a discussion item at its Jan. 10 meeting. RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said that in order for K-6 Spanish to be truly successful, they would need to offer it five days a week. Not only would that carry funding implications (an estimated $220,000 annually), but it would mean something else would need to get trimmed to make room in the schedule for students. “The biggest issue is what would we cut out? We are already so full.” Delaney said. “We’d love to do every-
thing and do it really well but I think we’ve reached our limitation to what we can put into a day.” Delaney walked the board through a history of the elementary school Spanish program throughout the years. Prior to 1997, Spanish was offered in middle school only but when the RSF Endowment was established, then-Superintendent R. Roger Rowe pushed for Spanish to be provided to grades K-6. In 1998, students K-6 were in Spanish three times a week for 30 minutes. “It was fun and great but there was not a lot of carryover for students moving onto middle school,” See SPANISH, page 26
Blaze destroys 12,000-square-foot home in Fairbanks Ranch An unoccupied Fairbanks Ranch home was decimated by fire Jan. 10. On Jan. 10, at 9:09 p.m., firefighters responded to multiple reports of a house fire in the 17000 block of Calle Serena. When they arrived on scene, firefighters could
see thick smoke and flames coming from the garage on the lower level of the house. They quickly began attacking the fire and shortly thereafter called for a second alarm. Firefighters initially entered the 12,000-square-foot home,
which was undergoing renovations and unoccupied at the time, to battle the blaze, but they were forced outside due to unsafe conditions. Because they could only fight the fire from the exterior and there were flammable construction materials
within the building, it took approximately six hours to knock down the fire. Firefighters remained on scene overnight into the late morning putting out hotspots and mopping up. A total of 11 units responded from Rancho
Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Vista and San Diego. One firefighter sustained minor injuries and was taken to a hospital where he was treated and released. The cause of the fire is under investigation. — RSF Fire Department

Members sought for high school district’s Independent Citizens Oversight Committee BY KAREN BILLING By Feb. 16, the San Dieguito Union High School District is required to have an Independent Citizens Oversight Committee (ICOC) for its bond program. The ICOC ensures that all Prop AA funds are used in support of voter-approved projects, will review cost saving measures, and perform annual audits. The group will be independent from the district’s decision making on items such as contractors or building design, and will have open meetings in accordance with the Brown Act. The board must decide on the makeup of the ICOC— the committee is required to have no fewer than seven members and it must have individuals from the business community, one active in a senior citizens organization, one member of a taxpayers organization, one member of a parent-teacher organization, and one parent/guardian of a district student. The board has options on how it will make the selection decisions for the ICOC, whether applicants are publicly interviewed and screened by the board or selected from recommendations from district staff that would handle the screening process. District superintendent Ken Noah was in favor of the public process involving the entire board because as it is the district’s first time dealing with an ICOC, he thought the entire board should be responsible in the selection. The board is expected to make a decision about the selection process at its Jan. 17 meeting.

Del Mar City Council urges fair board to ban gun shows
BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Jan. 14 unanimously passed a resolution urging the 22nd District Agricultural Association to not renew contracts with any gun show sponsor, including Crossroads of the West, which has held gun shows at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at least four times a year for 22 years. Local anti-gun efforts began when Del Mar resident Roseanne Holliday hung a sign in her front yard following the Sandy Hook shooting to spread awareness about the Crossroads of the West gun show, which is scheduled to take place March 9 and 10. Locals contacted her in droves and mobilized to gather more than 1,100 signatures supporting a local gun show ban in hopes it would serve as a model to cities nationwide. “This is a community that has seen something horrific nationally, sees a trade show happening at the fairgrounds

and naturally would like to do something to correct the situation,� said Mayor Terry Sinnott. “We should be reflecting what the community wants and feels, so it’s very valid to issue this resolution.� Sinnott, however, said he thought the resolution brought before the council was not specific enough, and should clarify that council’s concern is based, in part, on the fairgrounds’ failure to meet its mission of being a recreation and entertainment facility with an agricultural focus. The council accepted the clarification that gun culture is not consistent with the mission of the Ag. Board, however, Councilwoman Lee Haydu pointed out that in a recent community relations committee meeting with Ag. Board members, fair officials responded by saying that guns are consistent with the agricultural portion of the mission because farmers use guns. See BAN, page 22

Bestselling author Robert Crais to discuss latest thriller, ‘Suspect,’ at RSF Library Guild event Jan. 24 BY JOE TASH Robert Crais’ latest thriller, “Suspect,” grew out of his need to heal after losing a beloved canine companion, and a desire to better understand the bonds between dogs and humans. Crais will be the featured speaker at the Jan. 24 luncheon meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild. “SusRobert Crais pect,” published by Putnam Adult, comes out Jan. 22. Members of the guild and their guests can attend the luncheon and author talk, and receive a signed copy of the book for a $40 admission price. Non-members can attend the talk and purchase a book at the event, which runs from noon to 2 p.m. on Wednesday at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, 17040 Avenida de Acacias. Those attending just the talk can arrive at 12:30 p.m. Reservations for the lunch can be made by calling the Guild at 858-756-4780, or visiting its website at www.rsflibraryguild.org. Individual guild memberships are $50 per year, and a family membership costs $100. Crais, 59, a resident of West Hollywood, is best-known as the author of a series of crime novels featuring private detectives Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. “Suspect,” a standalone novel that doesn’t feature Cole or Pike, is his 19th book. The story centers on a Los Angeles Police Department officer whose partner is murdered. The officer partners with Maggie, a former Marine Corps patrol German Shepherd who lost her handler in Afghanistan. The duo teams up in an effort to find the killer of the officer’s partner.
The story came out of the author’s desire to find out why he was having such a hard time moving on after his own dog, an Akita he owned for 12 years since it was a puppy, had died, said Crais. He thought about getting another dog, but somehow felt that would be disloyal. As he began to research about the bonds between dogs and humans, and learn more about military and police dogs and their interactions with their handlers, the character of Maggie emerged, Crais said. From the start, Crais said he wanted to avoid turning Maggie into a four-legged person. “It was really important to me to try to make her real. I like to think that I did. I wanted her to be a real dog, not a cartoon,” Crais said. After writing the book and now embarking on a book tour to promote it, Crais said he feels ready to get a new dog when he returns home. “It opened doors for me so I think it’s time,” he said. According to his online bio, Crais is a Louisiana native who grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River in a blue collar family of oil refinery workers and police officers. His literary influences include Dashiell Hammett, Ernest Hemingway, Robert B. Parker and John Steinbeck. He moved to Hollywood in the 1970s and began writing scripts for such TV shows as Hill Street Blues, Cagney & Lacey and Miami Vice, along with pilots and movies-of-the-
week for networks. In the mid-80s, he published his first Elvis Cole novel, “The Monkey’s Raincoat.” Crime and mystery novels remain the most popular genre in American literature because they offer “clarity” to their readers, Crais said. We all face unknowns in our lives, he said, and therefore we can relate to fictional detectives who must come into a chaotic situation and try to make sense of it, and separate what is real from what is not. “We want to be part of that successful journey,” Crais said. Crais gravitated toward crime fiction because he loves that type of story, he said. “I write the story for me. Because I just happen to love this stuff is why I write the type of fiction I write,” he said. What he didn’t count on, Crais said, was the popularity that his books would achieve. At last count, he said, his books are available in 56 or 58 countries, and some 40 million copies of his books are in print. “That’s the kind of thing that happens to someone else,” he said. Even today, he still gets a kick out of seeing someone reading one of his books in an airport or other public place. “If I see someone reading my book, I turn away, I break into a big smile, I can’t believe there’s anybody out there reading it,” he said. The presentation by Crais is one of four or five author talks sponsored annually by the RSF Library Guild. Along with sponsoring author talks, the guild also holds fundraisers, and pays for such services as a children’s librarian at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, as well as library materials including books, magazines and audio books.

RSF resident among GOT MILK? Girl Scouts Photo Contest finalists The California Milk Processor Board (CMPB), the creator of GOT MILK?, and the Girl Scouts in California announced recently the names of 24 GOT MILK? – Girl Scouts Photo Contest finalists from California. Among these lucky young ladies will be three grand prize winners who will be featured together on new GOT MILK? - Girls Scouts commemorative billboards to be unveiled early February in the girls’ hometowns. RSF resident Samantha Kim, 6, is among the finalists. “We received over 300 entries from Girl Scouts from all eight councils in California,” says Steve James, executive director of the CMPB. “It was great to see how this contest sparked creativity among the girls and it reminded Californians that the values of Girl Scouting and milk go handin-hand.” The Girl Scouts Photo Contest, which ran from Nov. 5 to Dec. 17, 2012, was inspired by an iconic print campaign that ran 15 years ago. It featured an adorable 10-year-old Girl Scout who made an impression on Cal-
RSF resident and Girl Scouts Photo Contest finalist Samantha Kim ifornians with her iconic uniform and an armful of cookie boxes, provoking the question “GOT MILK?” This fall’s contest was open to all currently registered Girl Scouts in kindergarten through Grade 12 belonging to one of the eight councils in California: Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles, Girl Scouts of Northern California, Girl Scouts of Orange County, Girl Scouts San Diego Council, Girl Scouts Heart of Central California, Girl Scouts of Central California South, Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast and Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council. Girl Scouts had to submit a photo with a caption of no more than eight words showcasing the contest prompt: How have Girl Scouts and milk helped them become strong, healthy and confident? All 24 contest finalists will each receive a camp scholarship worth $350. The three grand prize Girl Scouts winners to be announced at the end of this month will each receive a $500 U.S. Savings Bond and will be featured together on a billboard (or comparable advertising media) in their hometowns throughout the month of February just in time for cookie sale season.

‘Japanese Farm Food’ cookbook author to appear at Chino Farm Nancy Singleton Hachisu is the next guest to the Good Earth/Great Chefs Series at The Chino Farm with her new cookbook “Japanese Farm Food.” This book signing and culinary event will be held on Sunday, Feb. 10, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at Chino Farm. The event will also feature a cooking demonstration and tasting by Chef Singleton Hachisu, using fresh ingredients and winter vegetables from the farm. The cookbook offers a unique window into life on a Japanese farm through the simple, clear-flavored recipes cooked from family crops and other local organic products. Chino Farm, along with Milane Christiansen (founder and thirty-year owner of the former The Book Works) are honored to welcome Hachisu — chef, author, teacher and leader of Slow Food cooking for nearly 20 years. After graduating from Stanford, Hachisu moved from California to Japan in 1988 with the intention to stay for a year. Instead she fell in love with a farmer, the culture, and the food, and has made the country her home. Hachisu, her husband, and their three sons live in an 80-year-old traditional farmhouse on an organic farm in rural Japan. In his glowing New York Times review, David Tanis, long-time friend of the Chinos and recent chef at Chez Panisse wrote, “the recipes for simple vegetable dishes, often flavored with only a bit of miso or a splash of sake are the most fascinating … mindful cooking with minimal ingredients can produce marvelous results.” Chino Farm is located at 6123 Calzada Del Bosque, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067. Books can be preordered via email at greatchefsseries@gmail.com Note: Jonathan Waxman, who had to cancel his book signing earlier this year due to Hurricane Sandy, will be in town and will attend this event. He will also be signing copies of his cookbook “Italian, My Way.” The free event will be held outdoors, rain or shine.
Jan. 24 “Coffee and Conversation” in RSF: Fidelity Vice President Jeff Losito to discuss ‘Crisis averted: The last-minute deal to avoid the fiscal cliff’ After falling off the cliff for one day, the House and Senate took action to avert the full force of some $600 billion in spending cuts and tax hikes that were scheduled to take effect throughout 2013, preventing a fiscal shock that some economists thought would be enough to put the U.S. economy back into a recession. The fiscal cliff deal helped to prevent much of the immediate economic impact of the scheduled tax and spending changes. But it was just one step in a series of negotiations over spending, taxation, and the deficit. The $16 trillion question (that’s the current U.S. debt and it’s near the ceiling) is will it unsettle the markets? How looming tax hikes and spending cuts could hit the sectors at risk -health care, financials, and defense. As the debt ceiling debate develops, it could test markets once again. Is this just another skirmish ahead of the real battle to come during the debate over raising the debt ceiling? At the next “Coffee and Conversation” event in RSF, Jeff Losito, vice president for Fidelity Investments Institutional Services, will give an update on income tax rates; limits on exemptions and deductions for higher wage earners; capital gains and dividends and estate and gift tax. The event will be held on Thursday, Jan. 24, from 8-9 a.m. at the RSF Golf Club (5827 Via De La Cumbre in Rancho Santa Fe). To attend “Coffee and Conversation,” contact Deana Carter at (858) 756-1566 or dcarter@carterfinancial.biz.

R. Roger Rowe School students show the true spirit of the holidays — ‘Be Kind and Compassionate to Others’ The R. Roger Rowe School was busy throughout the holiday season with their Acts of Kindness initiatives. Their wish this holiday season was to ignite a chain reaction for others in the community and surrounding schools to follow them as they plant the seeds for compassion and kindness in the minds and hearts of others. Kindergarten On Dec. 6, the kindergarten classes showed their appreciation by making delicious smoothies and thank you cards for the schools non-teaching staff. First Grade First grade classes made wonderful craft containers and filled them with yummy treats for the seniors at the Atria Senior Center. Second Grade Second graders collected money in their classrooms and donated the money to the Helen Woodward Animal Center. A representative from Helen Woodward visited the classes and was presented with the donations. In addition, Mrs. Alexander’s class made cozy dog beds to bring to a local humane society. Third Grade Mrs. Carrington’s class made homemade picture frames to give to active military personnel for the holidays. Mrs. Bacon’s students did a wonderful job making dog pull toys which were donated to Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. The children who knew how to braid helped their classmates learn a new skill. Kindness was in the air! Also, the class made cards and assembled packages for young active military service men and women. Mrs. Maud’s class sponsored candy gram sales. Candy grams were sold for $1 and delivered with a candy cane to students on Wednesday, Dec. 19. A total of $441 was raised from candy gram sales in October and December. On Sunday, Dec. 16, Mrs. Maud’s class also had several students meet at Target to purchase toys, games, and books for the children going through cancer treatment at Rady Children’s Hospital. The toys were delivered to Rady Children’s Hospital on that same day. Fifth Grade During the last week before break, the fifth graders were busy “knitting” warm scarves for the foster children at New Alternatives. They presented the scarves to a representative that visited the school and talked to them about the program. Sixth Grade Sixth graders were very busy making fleece blankets for the orphans in Mexico just in time for the cold weather. Rancho Santa Fe Rotary will be delivering the blankets to the children. Sixth graders also wrapped up their collections for malaria nets for a village in Indonesia. By doing chores and recycling, they collected over $1120 to buy 112 nets. Middle School Monarch School Holiday Drive Many gifts and gift cards were donated by the families at RSF School for the children impacted by homelessness at the Monarch School. RSF Kids Korps Members Several children demonstrated their strong musical talents at a holiday concert performance for the elderly at the Atria Senior Center. More than 30 seniors sat and watched as children played piano, saxophone, clarinet, and musical carols! Afterwards each child held hands with every senior and wished them Happy Holidays. Smiles were everywhere! If interested in joining Kids Korps, visit (www.kidskorps.org) or contact Dana Knees, Knees1@ cox.net.

RSF students to hold ‘Comedy Sports Event’ to benefit children of Ghana *Event to be held Feb. 1 at RSF Community Center
RSF residents Cosy and Will Burnett, along with their La Costa Canyon schoolmate Kara Sheffield, are determined to make a difference for kids in the villages outside Accra, Ghana, Africa. They decided to raise money locally in the community and see how much of an impact they can have. “Our school has the best comedy sports team ever. It’s always a sell-out event,” explains Cosy. Comedy sports is an improv comedy theater in which two different schools compete. “I talked to the comedy sports president and they were more than happy to do this for us,” Cosy said. “On Feb. 1, we will hold a comedy sports event with La Costa Canyon vs. Canyon Crest Academy at 7 p.m. (doors open) at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. The show begins at 7:30 p.m.” Tickets will be $7 and 100 percent of the ticket sales will go directly to the KaeMe organization (see more about this organization below or visit www.KaeMe.org). The three students will take the money directly to Ghana and will be able to allocate the distribution of funds themselves. The event is open to the public. “We’ve already raised $500 with other fundraising efforts, which is two-and-a-half scholarships,” Cosy said. “It depends how much we raise...there are so many options. We can do scholarships for village kids and improve village schools, I’m just so excited to get there and make a difference.” “In Ghana there is no free public education, so when families can’t afford the $200 per kid per year they look for other options,” explains Will Burnett. “What eventually happens is that many of these kids are sent to the orphanage schools in Accra where they can get schooling for free. The problem is that these kids are not living with their families and some of the paperwork gets confused, and some of these kids are actually adopted internationally when they have families in the villages.” While the orphanages provide a great service for or-
Kara Sheffiield (senior) Will Burnett (freshman) Cosy Burnett (senior) LCC High School. phans, many of the non-orphan children are taking advantage of the free education and much of the management cannot be supported by local Ghana resources. “Our goal is to help improve the schools in the villages and ultimately keep families safe and united in Ghana. It’s terrible to think that children, their most precious resource, are being taken away from their families,” explains Kara Sheffield. “A little money goes a long way. For $200, a child can receive a scholarship for a year and stay with their family in the village. $1,000 can make a huge difference in the village schools with new paint, and desks. A new entire high school could even be built with $20,000. The cost of construction is much lower in Ghana.” KaeMe has worked with the children of Ghana and have current student volunteer programs with Stanford and Yale where students work in Ghana to help organize paperwork in the orphanages, reunite children with existing families and develop a management system which can be sup-

ported locally. This February, Cosy, Will and Kara will travel to Ghana and spend 10 days working with KaeMe. “I first became interested in this cause through my cousin. She met her Ghanan husband while at college at Utah State. They now have two adorable children and live in Accra, Ghana and are involved with KaeMe,” explains Cosy. “I’ve always wanted to do humanitarian work in Africa and I knew this was my chance to make a difference. I love my Ghanan family and wanted to get involved.” The three LCC students have earned the money to travel to Ghana and work in the villages. They will paint and clean schools and Cosy will teach Ghanan children volleyball. “I’m going to hold a volleyball clinic in the village and donate volleyball equipment to the schools because it’s something I know and love,” adds Cosy who will be playing volleyball for BYU this fall. For more information on the KaeMe organization, visit www.KaeMe.org The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center is located at 5970 La Sendita, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067.

RSF Education Foundation Scholars’ Circle to honor and celebrate members at private party on Feb. 2 BY RSF EDUCATION FOUNDATION The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation (RSFEF) continues to attract new families to the Scholars’ Circle*. The Scholars’ Circle represents the group of RSFEF supporters who make the most generous individual contributions to the Foundation. The Scholars’ Circle tradition began in 1997 when a small group of dedicated families came together to provide substantial funds to supplement the Rancho Santa Fe School District’s annual budget. Scholars’ Circle supporters play a significant role in enabling an enriched public education for children at the R. Roger Rowe School. The multi-year pledge nature of Scholars’ Circle level giving ensures long-term stability in the Foundation’s grant to the district enabling budget forecasts in future years. With Scholars’ Circle pledges representing approximately 50 percent of all contributions to the RSFEF, this special group of philanthropists has a very meaningful positive impact on the RSFEF Five-Star Education program that provides every child with a first-class education through small class size, specialized teachers, literacy excellence, integrated science, and differentiated math. Each year over 95 percent of the funds provided to the R. Roger Rowe School through the RSFEF and its Scholars’ Circle go toward teacher salaries. The highest priority in the FiveStar Education program is class size. Due, in large part, to the generosity of Scholars’ Circle members, R. Roger Rowe is able to maintain class sizes of around 18 children per class at a time when the majority of local public schools carry class sizes that exceed 30 children per class. In addition, Scholars’ Circle contributions go toward staffing specialized literacy, math, and science teachers. Through the work of all of the R. Roger Rowe School’s dedicated teachers, this year the school achieved its highest ever State of California administered Academic Performance Index score. In addition to pure academics, contributions from the Scholars’ Circle provide children at the R. Roger Rowe School with enrichment programs that go beyond the classroom. Programs include a top-notch music and arts program complete with band, strings, dance, and drama, as well as the school’s new robotics program in which children challenge their minds through the study of robotics and compete with other robotics teams from around California. There are currently 92 members of the Scholars’ Circle (representing approximately 20 percent of the 430 families with children enrolled in the school as well as community partners Barry Estates, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Qualcomm Charitable Foundation, and Wells Fargo Bank – The Private Bank). This year the Scholars’ Circle has welcomed 12 new members who have made pledge commitments totaling $465,000 over a multi-year time period. The current Scholars’ Circle Class of 2012/13, recognized and acknowledged with great appreciation, includes the following members: Scott & Tiffany Alewel Bruce & Brenda Kleege Charles & Teri Bair Evan Malter and Nina Kottler Lena Evans & Dan Floit Eoin & Kristin O’Shea Michael & Elizabeth Fried Jolene & Owen Perry Brenda & Kevin Hand Bjarte & Melissa Rene William & Jill Keitel Charles and Jan Wehlage As this list of new contributors demonstrates, the Scholars’ Circle message continues to resonate with members of the local community who care deeply about the R. Roger Rowe School and have the financial ability to become Scholars’ Circle members. “For many parents in our community, the decision to join the Scholars’ Circle is a matter of priority as op-
posed to financial ability,” says Glenn Oratz, chair of the RSFEF. “I would suggest that there is likely no greater priority to each one of us than the quality of our children’s education,” Oratz continues, “and the Scholars’ Circle is the key to the long-term health of the RSFEF. These enlightened, committed and like minded contributors support the RSFEF in an extraordinary way and enable R. Roger Rowe to truly deliver a Five-Star Education.” Stacy Shahri, Scholars’ Circle co-chair adds, “It is through the generosity of the philanthropic leaders who join Scholars’ Circle that R. Roger Rowe is able to raise the bar on education for the benefit of our children. The superb academic and enrichment programs made possible through their generosity will continue to give our children the opportunity to grow into tomorrow’s leaders.” Given the significant economic challenges that continue to negatively affect public school funding in the State of California, Scholars’ Circle contributions are becoming more critical every year. The RSFEF strongly encourages every member of the Rancho Santa Fe community interested in supporting public education at the R. Roger Rowe School to join the Scholars’ Circle at this time and be recognized as philanthropic leaders in our community. The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation will host a special evening in recognition of Scholar’s Circle level donors at the enchanting home of Darryl and Carolyn Flaming on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 6-9 p.m. The Lords and Ladies of the Scholars’ Circle will partake in a medieval-themed evening filled with music, food, wine, and ale. The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation’s community partner, Wells Fargo -The Private Bank, generously underwrites this event. For more information on how to join the Scholars’ Circle, please contact Allison Oppeltz in the RSFEF office at (858) 756-1141, extension 208, or visit us on the web at www.rsfef.org. All contributions to the RSFEF are 100 percent tax deductible. We have an outstanding school in our community that is widely regarded as one of the best public schools in the nation. The school’s position in that group is due, in large part, to the private funding contributed by generous families in our community. As the RSFEF tag line indicates, the difference is you! *Scholars’ Circle members contribute a minimum of $35,000 in a single contribution or multi-year pledge (three-five-year time period) to the RSFEF. Scholars’ Circle members are recognized by level – Cum Laude ($35,000+), Magna Cum Laude ($50,000+), Summa Cum Laude ($100,000+).

Canyon Crest Academy student carries on flight legacy “It’s kind of a family tradition,� private pilot and local resident Chad Unrue said through his aviation headphones. Chad, an 18-year-old Canyon Crest Academy senior, was rather understating that fact. After 100 hours of flight training and over 300-plus landings and takeoffs, Chad earned his private pilot’s license this fall when he passed his flight test with an FAA certified flight examiner and has now completed his certification for the high-performance Cirrus SR22 aircraft. For him, this is a continuation of a family legacy that began almost 100 years ago with his greatgreat uncle who owned an airport in El Campo, Texas. This uncle was not only a pilot himself in a day when aviation was just beginning, but he had a brother who became a stunt pilot and wing walker. Chad’s great-grandmother even joined in on their barnstorming at a time when few aviators were capable of such daredevil flying and even fewer women were involved. “Uncle Herman gave my grandfather his first ride in an airplane. That led my grandfather to go on to become a naval aviator and fly fighter jets,� Chad said. The aviation
Canyon Crest Academy’s Chad Unrue at Catalina pedigree came from the other side of his family, too, with another great uncle who was a private pilot. Chad’s father, Bill Unrue, made sure to pass the torch. Bill, who himself got his private pilot’s license at a young age, asked Chad if he wanted to take a flight lesson. Chad took him up on the offer and has been soaring over Southern California ever since. “I was flying airplanes before I could drive a car,� Chad said. Over the next couple of years, he continued flight lessons while balancing high school, extracurricular activities, and col-
lege testing and preparation. As he did so, his interest in and dedication to flight increased. From being a hobby and an activity he could share with his dad, the science of flight began to intrigue him. While planning to study business in college, he had an in-flight epiphany. He wanted to switch his intended college studies to aerospace engineering. This sudden change of course is something that doesn’t faze a pilot, but did cause him to have to rewrite and redirect a few college applications at the last minute. He is still undecided as to where he will pursue his studies in aero-

space engineering, but has a few scholarship offers already. “I feel that I have a good connection to how a plane flies, so it was a natural choice to make,� he said. When he informed one of his flight instructors, Brad DeGusseme, his instructor at Coast Flight Training (www.iflycoast. com) at Montgomery Field, of his future plans, Brad remarked that he was sure that Chad would be successful in his future academic pursuits, “Because it really is quite unusual for someone so young to become a licensed private pilot. It takes a lot of commitment and work. I’m proud of Chad for what he’s accomplished.� Besides his future college plans, he sees more flight hours ahead of him. “The thing about being a pilot is that you are never done learning or training,� he said, standing next to the Cirrus SR-20 he regularly takes up. For his 18th birthday, he was treated to a ride in a Pitts stunt plane with famed stunt pilot Rory Moore, where he was allowed to take the stick and perform stunt maneuvers himself. “It’s like the ultimate roller coaster. I would definitely love to do more stunt flying,� Chad said.
For now, the trick will be to balance the rest of his senior year with his flying, AP exams, and navigating the college admissions maze. One thing is for sure, wherever his final destination may be, Chad Unrue has set his sights high both in the air and on the ground.
Former Winston School student Sam Morris dies heroically; Memorial service to be held Jan. 20 Sam Morris, a member of Del Mar’s The Winston School Class of 2007, died heroically on Wednesday, Jan. 9, in a house fire in Okitbettha County, Mississippi, according to The Winston School Headmaster Mike Peterson. Sam had been staying with his elderly grandparents when a fire broke out in the house, Peterson said. Sam helped his 89-year-old grandfather out to safety and then went back into the building along with a family friend and caregiver, Geraldine Rice, to attempt to rescue his 92-yearold grandmother. Tragically, neither Sam nor the other two people got out of the house, Peterson said. “ Sam was just 23,� Peterson said. “Sam was a very well liked member of the Winston community and participated in all aspects of school life. He was a science award winner, played on the school’s varsity sports teams, and also was a recipient of a Winston “W� for excellence in multiple facets of the program. His yearbook thanks his parents for all they have done for him, and he was proud of overcoming the challenges he’d faced as a student to graduate with his classmates in June of 2007. He was a journeyman electrician’s apprentice in Mississippi.� A memorial service will be held on Sunday, Jan. 20. Please e-mail Mrs. Sterling-Torretti at winston3@mac.com if you would like to be sent the EVITE link to RSVP for attending the service. At the request of the family, the school will accept donations for a scholarship to be established in Sam’s name. “Our thoughts go out the Morris family for this terrific loss,� Peterson said. “And for those of us whom Sam was a friend, a classmate, a neighbor or beloved student, we will remember him as a young man who loved his life but loved the lives of others even more.�

Patriot Profiles: Meet First Lady of the Marine Corps Bonnie Amos This column presents “Patriot Profiles� to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Each time she walks into a room at Bethesda N a v y Hospital, s h e shows a brave, determined f a c e . W h e n she conFirst Lady of the n e c t s with her Marine Corps Marine Bonnie Amos who may be missing a limb, an eye, struggling to speak or worse, this injured warrior feels like the only person in her sights. Each step forward has purpose, carrying her heavy pack of love and reassurance to provide at his or her bedside. First Lady of the Marine Corps, Bonnie Amos, then says, “I’m here to help you and your family. We’re not going to forget about you.� Growing up indigent poor in Pensacola, Florida, the home of Naval Aviation, Bonnie Amos set her sights on college. Amos was a business major and became a manager at a small bank offering lower interest on loans. First Lieutenant James Amos was a flight school student at the time and walked into her bank. Bon-
nie fondly remembers, “He came in to apply for a car loan and I’ve been managing his finances ever since. He promised me we would see the world and go to wonderful and fabulous places and I had the ridiculous uncommon sense to believe him.� This aspiring hometown girl was swept off her feet by a handsome jet pilot who made her laugh and would later become the 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps. His sky-rocketing career landed them in desolate and remote regions, much to Bonnie’s dismay, but also in grand and glorious duty stations. For her, moving 29 times in 42 years of marriage was more annoyance, than sacrifice. “I’d jump up and down and say ‘You can’t make me do this ever again.’ Then we’d get to somewhere like Hawaii and I’d say ‘This is terrific – it’s the most amazing place in the world.’� Bonnie admits her “gypsy life� has not been easy. “When we talk about the people who have sacrificed in the military lifestyle, it’s really our children.� Her daughter’s famous statement is, “Dad, do you have any idea how
many boyfriends I’ve left for you?� Yet her daughter admits it has helped form who she is. For Bonnie’s more introverted son, “It made him reach from inside and project out more.� Home for General and Mrs. Amos is a 16,000-square -foot estate in Washington, DC, occupied by every Commandant in the last 200-plus years. She fills the many rooms with loveliness as a wife, soul mate, and friend to husband, Jim, a busy four-star General, who shoulders immense responsibility. Here, she sleeps by night and plans by day how to better employ herself for the good of the Corps. When it comes to family support, Bonnie’s been a key player in the Marine Corps evolution. “When Jim left on his first 13-month deployment to Japan, we did not have family support structures in place,� she says, “We were living in Hawaii and I no longer belonged to that squadron or group of pilots’ wives. I thought I would shrivel up and die. Not having the skills or maturity to cope, I packed up our 1-year-old baby girl and went home to my parents in Pensacola.�

For many years, Bonnie’s been active in needed improvements. As an officer’s wife, she worked with Corps leadership to organize and direct “Volunteer Family Readiness� organizations which assess, educate and provide. She was happy to work with skilled civilian “Family Readiness Officers� hired by the Marine Corps to help struggling families. Passionately immersed in the community, she was able to assist if a washing machine went out, someone had to meet the press or disturbing news came in about a loved one. Support came back at her when trials hit home, like when husband Jim had to eject from a failed aircraft into the frigid Pacific. When Operation Enduring Freedom I (OIF I) kicked off in 2003, it was the most nerve-wracking time for Bonnie. “As a twostar General, Jim had the Wing — all the airplanes and aircrews and their families west of the Mississippi. Responsibility to educate people during wartime was very strong for me,� remembers Bonnie. Then based at Miramar, she praises San Diego as a loving, supportive community. “My daughter tells of when her dad came home after nine months, a large earthquake that was reported on the West Coast SEE PATRIOT, PAGE 22

Torrey Pines Rugby undefeated Epilepsy and frequent seizures heading into Cathedral match can’t stop young rugby player BY TIM PICKWELL The Torrey Pines Varsity Rugby team shook off a slow start Saturday morning, Jan. 12, and steamrolled to a 38-5 victory over the San Pasqual Eagles. The Torrey Pines victory sets up a San Diego Section, Gold Division, High School Rugby showdown with Cathedral Catholic on Saturday, Jan. 19, at 10 a.m. at Cathedral. Both Torrey Pines and Cathedral are undefeated. The winner will have the inside track to host a Southern California High School semi-final match. Against San Pasqual, Torrey Pines Senior Michael Cahill continued to cement his reputation as a playmaker. The lanky Wing broke open a scoreless, tough match with a brilliant openfield tackle 10 minutes into the contest. University of California bound teammate Billy Maggs then picked up the ball from the stunned Eagle player, and stiff-armed his way to a quick score. Alec Mills converted the point after kick to make it, 7-0. Fifteen minutes later, after some mid-field struggles, Cahill grabbed the ball and kicked it way down field to put the Eagles in a hole. Rookie 6’ 4”, 235-lb. Torrey Pines player Pierre Pretorious then used his substantial bulk to rumble up the middle, to make it 14-0. At the 26-minute mark of the first half, Cahill grabbed another wild San Pasqual attack, and punted it back down to the Torrey Pines half. Pretorious snagged the ball and pitched it to Senior Miles Ahles who tossed it back to the hustling Cahill for the score. “Cahill doesn’t meet the eye test for a rugby player,” said Torrey Pines Head Coach, Matty Sandoval. “But he’s the toughest kid, pound for pound, I’ve coached or even seen in this sport. He’s absolutely fear-

Photo/Susie Talman less defensively, and is a blur with ball in hand.” Maggs, who will playRugby at Cal, and who was recently selected for the USA National Juniors Seven’s Team, fought off three tackles and made the score, 26-0 at halftime. He had three tries in the match. The game was officially out-of-reach 5 minutes into the half when Senior Miles Ahles dug hard for another Torrey Pines score—the first in Ahles’ two month old Rugby career. “We call Miles the ‘Honey Badger,’” said Sandoval, “because he just keeps digging.” Torrey Pines might have been forgiven for slacking off after they went up, 31-0. Instead, they proceeded to play some of their toughest Rugby of the season, as San Pasqual controlled the ball for over 5 minutes in front of the Torrey Pines try-line. The Eagles kept hammering ahead, or probing the wings for a weakness, but defenders Michael Cox, AJ Talman, Seth Hill and others put up a ferocious defense and turned them back. Rugby is not currently a CIF-sanctioned sport. But, with growing awareness, and the recent addition of Rugby Sevens to the 2016 Olympics, supporters of the world’s most popular contact sport believe it is only a matter of time until rugby joins lacrosse as a new addition to high school sports programs. Both Torrey Pines and Cathedral Catholic compete in the Southern California Youth Rugby High School League. There are 15 teams in San Diego County (up from 11 last year), and 31 throughout southern California. Recognizing that some programs are more established, the schools have been divided into “Gold” and “Silver” Divisions. Torrey Pines competes with eight schools in the Gold Division south. Torrey Pines and Cathedral are both undefeated in the Gold Division, so this Saturday’s match has big playoff implications. “We’ve improved steadily from week to week,” said Sandoval, “and the team is really starting to jell. Cathedral will require a lot more than they’ve been asked to give so far this season. I have faith the boy’s will be up for the task. They like nothing more than the challenge of playing the private school up the street.”
BY TIM PICKWELL He plays only a few minutes a game, but Tristan Kasa may be the toughest player on the Torrey Pines Varsity Rugby Team. The 17-year old flanker was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 7 and now, despite heavy medication, averages “two-three seizures a week,” according to his father, Steve Kasa. Kasa attended Torrey Pines High School for two years, and even tried his hand at freshman football. He is now a junior at The Winston School in Del Mar. The young man’s love for the New Zealand All-Blacks led him to the Mustang’s Rugby Club, and he is now enjoying his second season of full-contact high school rugby. “The courage of this young man is an inspiration to the whole team,” says Torrey Pines Head Coach, Matty Sandoval. “These tough young ruggers have taken him under their wing and made him one of their own. It’s heartwarming.” A seizure minutes before a match two weekends ago kept Kasa out of that

Kasa is in his second season of rugby despite suffering from debilitating seizures. Photo/Susie Talman contest, but he has played in each of the team’s other victories, including the final minutes of last Saturday’s 38-5 win over San Pasqual. Kasa has an iron grip of a handshake, and speaks clearly and directly, not a trace of a problem. He says that he gets three types of seizures. “The first type is where I lose control of my left arm, but I can still see. The second is where I can’t see and lose track of time. The third is a Grand Mal seizure, where I lose consciousness and have to go to the hospital.” When the Kasas advised Tristan’s doctor that he would be playing rugby, the doctor looked thoughtful and said, “It’s a tough sport.” Indeed. For a very tough young man.

New CHEERS Foundation to raise funds, awareness for women’s health issues BY ASHLEY MACKIN The newly formed La Jolla-based Care, Health, Empowerment, Education, Research and Support (CHEERS) Foundation is hoping to be the community resource of record on women’s health issues – particularly heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases and mental health issues. CHEERS hopes to issue grants, host events, and create a community-contributed website. “We want to help women who don’t have the resources, either financially or educationally, and (also) support organizations that are … striving to find solutions to these health risks,” said Jackie Helm, one of the founding members of the CHEERS Foundation. To be an efficient resource, Helm said CHEERS hopes to use the same techniques as Las Patronas, another grant-giving group. She said CHEERS will encourage organizations to apply for grants and host a major benefit to raise funds for these grants. Helm and co-founder Anseth Richards were both Las Patronas members. “The folks we have on

The major fundraiser on the books will be a Masquerade Ball in October. For this and future fundraisers, CHEERS has partnered with Bridal Bar, a collective of wedding and event planners who will donate their services. Between now and then, there will be health seminars presented to shed light on medical issues. “It is difficult for the average person to decipher the current studies and recommendations and then, to make an action plan based on that information,” Helm said. “Hopefully, the health forums will provide a resource for women in our community to obtain health literacy.” Helm said the website they plan to develop — nationalcheersfoundation.org — will also be a go-to resource for women. It would supply information on health issues, as well as be a way for CHEERS to learn about organizations worthy of grants. CHEERS began meeting in August 2012 and had its inaugural event in December. To reach Helm, call (858) 354-6333.

PATRIOT continued from page 16 wasn’t really an earthquake. It was her mom taking off her pack.” During the epic battles for Fallujah and Ramadi in 2004-06, Bonnie retraces what happened. “We had a lot of losses and injuries on the ground side. Our severely wounded were coming back to Bethesda Naval Hospital and those who could rehabilitate were sent to Camp Lejeune or were alone in their Enlisted Bachelor Quarters (BEQs).” There was no centralized care or follow-up. Lieutenant Colonel Tim Maxwell was an Operations Officer in a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) battalion when a missile came
Rancho Santa Fe Review into his tent. People were killed around him and he sustained a traumatic brain injury, along with other severe injuries. Bonnie and Jim were instrumental when a recovering LtCol. Maxwell and his wife, Shannon, sought help telling them, “We joined the Marine Corps — we’re part of a team. We work, train, and fight as a team, but we don’t rehabilitate as team.” Bonnie and General Amos started a series of events, gathering resources with the help of Major General Bob Dickerson, Commanding General, Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune. “We were able to create this ‘Wounded Warrior Barracks,’” Bonnie said. “Our wounded began to rehabilitate, train and do therapy together. Doctors and nurses
came to them and people were there to manage appointments, medications and therapy.” It’s been life-changing being part of this life-renewing concept, Bonnie said. General Conway, a previous Commandant, turned the “Wounded Warrior Barracks” into a ‘Wounded Warrior Regiment” that cares for their wounded. Bonnie’s a regular visitor at Bethesda and assures when rehabilitation is complete, they keep tabs on their Marines, even after they leave active duty. Bonnie didn’t stop there. While at Camp Pendleton, she and two other wives created the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, a charity that helps all Marines, their family members,

and service members attached to Marine Corps units in need. Bonnie’s been the driving force helping friends distribute books authored by military spouses that can educate, entertain and edify all ages. She recently created the first “First Lady of the Marine Corps (FLOTMC) Recommended Reading List” and is working hard getting the books and her list into Marine Corps Exchanges, libraries, and online.

BAN continued from page 2 The resolution also states that advertising for already scheduled gun shows shall not use the words “Del Mar” in any way, as it implies that the city endorses such events. “All advertising and signage should be properly identified as hosted by the ‘Fairgrounds’ or ‘22nd District Agricultural Association’ and not the City of Del Mar,” the resolution states. More than a handful of residents spoke in favor of the resolution, however, local resident Paul Breed spoke in opposition, saying that such regulations need to be consistent. On the same day as the upcoming gun show, he said, there is also a winemaking show scheduled at the fairgrounds, and more people die from alcohol than guns, he said. He also referenced shows selling gems and backyard swimming pools. “Are you going to make sure there are no conflict diamonds at the gem show and are you going to introduce pool alarms at the pool show?” he said, adding that more children will likely die in backyard swimming pools than from guns this year. Dexter Haight, president of Greater San Diego’s National Rifle Association members council, spoke in opposition to the resolution, which he said was stifling citizens’ Sec-
ond Amendment rights. He also said that members of his family, including young grandchildren, learn how to use guns safely and appropriately. “The bad people who intend to use guns for bad things are not getting guns at guns shows,” he said. Councilman Don Mosier agreed that there are many responsible, law-abiding gun owners out there, but he said Haight “misspoke about where these guns end up.” “We know that [some of] these guns end up in Mexico for use in the drug cartel trade,” he said. “The idea that these gun shows only supply to responsible owners is false … There’s plenty of data out there to show that.” The resolution stated that 33 Americans are murdered every day with guns and that California state laws regulating gun sales is undermined by common private part agreements at gun shows. “The killing of innocent children and adults may be prevented by reducing the supply of semi-automatic weapons,” the resolution further stated. Del Mar resident Bud Emerson said that even though gun control is a national issue, “every one of us can take a step.” “You as leaders can take a step and the fair board can take a step,” he told the council. “It’s a terrible message that we have the administration of instruments of violence in an agricultural institution.”

WORKSHOP continued from page 1 bonds, as well as a bond purchase contract. By Feb. 22, the district expects the County Board of Supervisors to approve its resolution and form of disclosure enabling the pricing call for taxable and tax-exempt bonds to occur in March with the closing and delivery of funds by April 2. With the bond, the district plans to revive its old planning department, which shrunk from seven to two positions in 2006 after the closing of several district construction projects. Dill said they are proposing to add two positions in support of the bond program under the newly named facilities construction department. The positions will be presented to the board at its Jan. 17 meeting to provide management for the bond under the newly named facilities construction department. “It’s critical that we be as clean as we possible can be in this regard,” Noah said, noting that one concern raised by the public about general obligation bonds is that they are used as a way to supplement the general fund. “Our planning effort is anything but that. We want to be clear all along that this is not the issue at all in this district.” Bond funds can only be spent on voter-approved projects in the measure. While some districts have hired program management companies to handle the work, the San Dieguito high school district has determined that it can do the work in-house for half the cost and save up to $8 million. Existing personnel moved into bond positions will be funded by the bond program; if their old positions are back filled the new employees will be funded by the General Fund. There are two positions that will work on both bond and Mello Roos accounting and their funding will be split according to the time spent on each.
SPANISH continued from page 1 Delaney said. They had hoped the program would give students a solid foundation and set them up for conversational Spanish but it did not do what it was intended to do, Delaney said. She said students would often lose what they learned over the summer.
Rancho Santa Fe Review The district also plans to purchase new project management software that will help streamline the process of finance and construction documents related to all the projects. The paper costs involved in the construction process can be exhaustive— the district spent $40,000 in paper for Canyon Crest Academy in blueprints and other documents. “We’re planning to go paperless on all of these projects,” said Russell Thornton, the district’s executive director of operations who will become the senior program manager for the facilities construction department. The software also creates a searchable audit trail of all activity and decisions, providing visibility. All project progress will be able to be tracked in real time on a website. ‘It’s a really good accountability system, but really it’s the efficiency it will bring [that is key],” Dill said. A construction schedule sees work beginning in 2013 on the track and field at Canyon Crest and San Dieguito Academy; technology upgrades at La Costa Canyon; HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) in selected rooms at Diegueno Middle, La Costa and Oakcrest Middle; stadium lights, fire road improvements and a new water main at Torrey Pines; and site acquisition for the future Pacific Highlands Ranch Middle School. “It was important for us to get out and do some projects,” Thornton said. As the bulk of the projects will take a lot of time to design and get approvals, Thornton said they looked for projects that were the most “shovel ready.” 2015 is the year targeted for the first phase of the Pacific Highlands Ranch Middle School (a 500-seat classroom building) to begin, as well as the beginning of a performing arts center for Torrey Pines High School. Complete construction schedules are available on the district website, with project start times scheduled out to 2020, such as the re-
In 2001, Spanish was reduced to just two times a week and from 2002-04 it went down to one day a week for 45 minutes. In 2004-06, Spanish was not offered at all for K-6 but was brought back in 2007-10 as an elective class for fifth and sixth grade students. For the elective, students took Spanish three times a week for 45 minutes, but could not take any other elective for the year. At its peak in
model of the Torrey Pines High School gym. Dill said they want to remind people that this is a long-range facilities plan; all projects were never meant to be completed by the summer of 2013. Noah said they are already hearing some rumblings of favoritism among the nine school sites but it is just the process of phasing and funding. “Hopefully by the end, everyone will be happy,” Noah said. The district is keeping its eye on pending legislation from Assembly member Ben Hueso (D-San Diego) and the county treasurer on school bonds that could impact their overall Proposition AA bond monies program. Hueso’s proposal does not just impact capital appreciation bonds that received a lot of attention last year, but all bond issuances. He’s proposing all school bonds have a limited term of 25 years, requiring all bonds with a term of 10 years or more to be callable; to impose a cap on debt service ratio of 4:1; and involve more oversight from the county level. Dill said that, should the bill pass, there could be a lot of constraints that would affect the district’s ability to pull off its bond program. It could potentially extend the district’s bond program by five years, causing projects to be delayed or not pursued at all due to concerns about cost escalation. Additionally, the California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors has a similar bill to Hueso’s, with many of the same limitations but also mandates that a bond debt cannot increase by more than 5 percent per year. This proposal would extend the district’s bond program by 10 years and would likely cause the bond program to not be fulfilled as originally conceived because of the additional cost escalation. The district would be forced to reprioritize its needs, Dill said. “We’re watching these bills very carefully,” Dill said, noting that nothing has even hit the floor yet.
2009-10, there were 14 students in fifth grade “Spanish 1A” and 20 students in sixth grade “Spanish 1B,” but those numbers dropped to seven students in fifth grade and eight students in sixth grade by the following year. There is only so much room in the school day and Delaney said she wouldn’t want to make a half-hearted effort just to say they provide Spanish. Delaney said she would want it to be a five-
METHODOLOGY continued from page 1 students have been shown to lag behind their international counterparts. Countries such as Finland, South Korea and Japan round out the best school systems in the international community and the Common Core reflects a way to match those methodologies. Another driving force for Common Core was the workforce field noticing that U.S. students’ creative, collaborative and critical thinking skills are lacking, Schaub reported. The standards were initiated by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers and aim to create a foundation to work collaboratively across states and districts instead of each state having its own set of standards. So far, 47 states have signed on and adopted the Common Core. The only states that have not are Alaska, Virginia and Texas. With Common Core, each state was allowed to add up to 15 percent of additional state standards but they could not take any away. California added 8 percent. The Common Core is very strongly research-driven, there are fewer standards but they are clearer and more rigorous, Schaub said. In reading, the focus shifts from fiction to non-fiction texts, a better reflection of what they will need to read and comprehend in real-world situations. Reading and writing will be grounded in evidence from text to support ideas and thinking. There is more writing across the curriculum, as students will be asked to explain their thinking and understanding. Students will be writing argumentative/opinion pieces, explanatory writings, narratives and research projects. The writing curriculum infuses the use of technology in creation, refinement and collaboration in writing. The Common Core also has standards in speaking and listening in a range of day a week program, done properly so it made sense for student learning. Additionally, Delaney referenced a 6-8th grade parent survey the district conducted in 2009 that showed art and science at the top of parent elective preferences and Spanish placing at the bottom. Since 2010, Spanish and Mandarin were offered in before- and after-school parentpaid programs. Mandarin is
settings, asking students to interpret and critique information and formulate responses in multimodal formats. Mathematics learning and instruction will be the most significant change as it is more focused on thinking and applying and not just following rules and procedures. The drive is for students to grasp the ideas of concepts instead of just memorizing. Students must show their work and explain how they arrived at certain answers. Students will be encouraged to “think like a mathematician,” with an emphasis on reasoning. Schaub said Common Core seeks to significantly narrow the scope of content to deepen the level of understanding. There is more focus on fractions, preparation for algebra and whole class math discussions. There is a focus on rigor and on coherence. Currently, the concepts learned in math are “helter skelter,” they don’t link from one grade to the next; Common Core aims to provide a better link so that students are truly building on the math concepts learned, Schaub said. The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) is in the process of writing the test and it will be administered to students in grades 3-8 and grade 11 starting in 2014. The new assessment test will be Common Corealigned and very different from what kids see on STAR, no more multiple choice or true and false questions. Sixty percent of the test will be performance-based tasks and the majority will be performed on computers. Schaub showed some sample Common Core test questions, comparing them to STAR questions. With STAR, one reading question asked, “In ‘Casey At the Bat’ Casey strikes out. Describe a time when you failed at something.” “The student may not have to understand or cite what they read to answer the question,” Schaub said of the STAR example. The Com-
mon Core sample question was “What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous?” “The new questions require them to understand the text and go back to it,” Schaub said. A sixth grade Common Core performance-based question asks students about planning a field trip, giving them a map of the distances to possible destinations, such as a museum, zoo or aquarium, results of a class vote and cost comparisons. The student must then argue for the best choice field trip based on the information and measuring different criteria. Sample math questions ask students to explain how they arrive at an answer instead of just filling in a multiple-choice bubble. Professional test readers will use a rubric to grade the tests and test results are also expected to come back in two weeks time There are still those who are critical of the Common Core State Standards. According to Schaub, there are those who think it will never happen; who find the expectations too high; those who have skepticism over the subjectivity of grading; and those who believe that the country does not have the teaching capacity. The Common Core will also mark a big shift in the way teachers lead a classroom, Schaub said, adding that while there are some nerves about the change, she feels the RSF School District will be well prepared. Schaub said she has been preparing teachers with math coaching cycles; introducing math journals; implementing new problem-solving tasks at grades K-8; and upping the amount of math communication, such as class math discussions. Schaub said Rancho Santa Fe teachers have a leg up with their participation in the Columbia University Teacher’s College Reading and Writing Program professional development, which is based on the Common Core methodology. “Math is without a doubt going to be our biggest challenge,” Schaub said.
in place but Spanish did not get enough response to form a class. Last year some sixth grade students interested in pursuing Spanish participated in a lunchtime club. In the middle school, Spanish numbers have dwindled since peak years in 2005 and 2006. This year there is one class of 30 students in “Spanish 1,” and 13 students in a “Spanish 2” class. Delaney said she thought that adding an en-
richment block to the schedule that allowed Spanish students to opt for rocketry, robotics, music or art electives in addition to Spanish would boost enrollment but the numbers went down instead. She thinks one of the reasons the numbers are down is that there are just more choices in high school and students are opting to instead start fresh with languages such as sign language, German or Mandarin.

BY KATHY DAY If you’re tired of walking along the beach or sitting on the bluff waiting to see the whales on their southward migration, take a ride with the Birch Aquarium staff aboard Flagship Cruises. The nearly four-hour trip out of San Diego Bay likely will give you a fairly close encounter with the gray whales which are making their way back to the lagoons of Baja California for their breeding season. And while a sighting is not guaranteed, rest assured you’ll learn a lot about the bay and its environs, as well as the marine mammals that call the Eastern North Pacific their home. On a trip on Jan. 8 — just two weeks into the whale watching season — those aboard the 100-footlong Marietta caught views of two whales, each announced by its customary “blow” followed by a quick trip to the surface to get some air. Naturalists and docents from the Birch Aquarium aboard help spot the mammals and share details, enhancing the experience and making it more than just a

Others, including one in a tank top, didn’t seem to mind the morning chill. Swells were running at about 3 feet with a fairly calm breeze, making for a relatively smooth trip, although crewmembers said the prior day had been much rougher. While the goal of the
trip is to spot the whales, there’s a strong likelihood that you’ll see more than one species of dolphin, sea lions and seals, and a wide assortment of sea birds. The trip also affords everyone views of North Island and the Navy’s submarine base on Point Loma, along with Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s research facility. And there’s no better vantage point for a look at the Point Loma lighthouse or the San Diego skyline. Trips run twice daily through April 14, weather permitting. This is the 13th season Birch and Flagship have teamed up for the trips. The whale watching trips and expedition are a small piece of the Birch Aquarium’s efforts aimed at “educating and inspiring the next generation of ocean stewards,” as Executive Director Nigella Hillgarth writes in the winter newsletter. From student field trips to lectures, tidepooling outings and the Sea Days programs, the aquarium staff hosts a range of events throughout the year.

Seafood lovers weigh anchor at The Brigantine in Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON ere fathoms from the sandy beaches of Del Mar are the wooden decks of The Brigantine. The nautical-themed restaurant, on the corner of Camino del Mar and Via de la Valle, provides picturesque views of the nearby racetrack and the ocean. Guests often flock to the patio rail or as close to the deck’s large windows as possible, drinking in the panorama over a sunset-colored Brig Mai Tai or the sweet and smooth Millionaire Margarita made with Don Julio Añejo tequila. While those areas are popular, the familyfriendly lounge can be lively, as well. Kids often sit and work on puzzles while waiting for fare such as pasta or fried shrimp, while the grownups gaze at the big-screen TVs to see the latest game scores, slurping up fresh oysters on the half shell and sipping white wine. A fireplace in one corner creates a cozy atmosphere; the music is mellow. Patrons who seek a quieter, more intimate experience may sit in the formal dining room.

glass sculpture, small waterfall and strings of lights add to its ambience. The establishment is especially bustling during the Del Mar racing season. It’s a favorite hangout at lunchtime, before first post, and also during the actual races. As the horses get close to the finish, Brigantine customers can hear the roar of the racetrack crowd build, and those in the restaurant who have placed bets yell and plead for their picks to win. “It’s really fun,” General Manager Tyler Martin said of the experience. Not only does The Brigantine draw racing fans, it also attracts seafood lovers. But it serves more than just fish; it offers American cuisine that is “all over the place,” including steaks, chicken and pasta, Martin noted. For starters, guests have options such as the Not So Basic Chip Basket, a plate of fiery-red chili tortillas chips surrounding a cup of creamy jalepeño white sauce.

hit the spot on a chilly SoCal day is the Brig Clam Chowder, prepared New England-style and chock-full of clams and potatoes. The Brigantine is best known for its fish tacos, which constantly bring people back, Martin said. Its Classic Fish Taco is a corn tortilla amply stuffed with breaded pollock, salsa fresca, cheddar, cabbage and Ranch dressing; the leaner alternative, Grilled Swordfish Tacos, contains fish blackened in Cajun spices with the same fillings. Another highly requested dish is the tender and flaky Signature Grilled Marinated Swordfish with a pat of avocado lime butter. Some portions of the menu are specific to The Brigantine’s Del Mar location, which is one of six in San Diego County. Among the site “favorites” are the Wok-Charred Ahi, which is partially covered with a mild wasabi-shoyu sauce and rests on a bed of jasmine rice with stir-fried vegetables; and the Spiced Scallops with pumpkin and sweet-potato ravioli, wild mushrooms, fresh peas and sun-dried tomato butter.
The formal dining room is quiet and intimate.

Local native finding herself, and recognition, through music Kattail about to release album, video BY ROB LEDONNE She has all of the hallmarks of a burgeoning music star: the interesting backstory, the drive, the talent, and even a unique one-word name. Now Kattail, a native of this area who currently resides in San Francisco, is preparing herself to be North County’s next musical success story. “What really strikes a chord with me, even as a writer, is when you articulate your emotions through spoken words,” she explains from San Francisco’s Hunters Point district. “I love when I hear a really good song from another artist that sounds like I’m being expressed, and I want to do that for other people.” Expressing herself through music started at an early age, and Kattail points to her upbringing in North County as a constant source of inspiration. A 2009 graduate of The Winston School in
Del Mar, she was enamored by the beach and Pacific Ocean nature. “[This area] is safe and beautiful, and the whole area is a good mixture of city life and nature. In particular, the Torrey Pines Reserve is one place that inspired a lot of my music. Basically, it’s like my songwriting: very simple, sweet and positive, just like the whole general area is.” Kattail fell in love with music by happenstance. Her good friend was taking guitar lessons and couldn’t quite get the hang of a Bob Dylan song she was trying to learn. It was then Kattail was introduced to playing acoustic guitar, and to this day her tracks sound Dylan-esque. “Trying to learn Dylan escalated into me trying to write my own songs,” and while never having a formal music education, she taught herself the ins and outs of writing and performing. “One specific person who helped me along was (guitar teacher and musician) Matt Currey, who gave me a shot to play at the Artist’s Colony in Encinitas when I
Kattail was in the 10th grade. Everything snowballed from there.” Upon graduation, she decided to head up to Oregon to check out the independent music scene, moving in with her biological mother. “I was living in a very small town in Oregon and playing with a bunch of different folk musicians, and at the same time rekindling my relationship with her, which was great.” With a passion for performing firmly implanted, Kattail decided to forgo college and dive headfirst into trying to catch a big break, and says she’s especially grateful to her adoptive parents for the opportunity
SAN DIEGO
to do so. Kattail’s parents are Dr. Judy Saalinger and Arthur Farkus, co-founders of Lasting Recovery in Carmel Valley, one of the premiere addiction treatment centers in the San Diego area (http:// lastingrecovery.com). “They’re really supportive and happy for me, and I know I’m so blessed to have that because I’m well aware that other parents would want something more conventional for their children.” After making the rounds in Oregon, Kattail decided to broaden her horizons and move to San Francisco — a mecca since the 1960s for singer/songwriters with a passion and a message: “A main goal of mine is just to have my music be heard, and to have a lot of people respond to it and feel uplifted by its positive messages.” That seems to be already happening: after gaining representation, Kattail just finished recording her debut album set for release March 1. In addition, she recently trekked back to Oregon and shot a music video to promote her first single, dubbed
“Cottage Grove,” which stars Kattail alongside actress Signy Coleman, who is best known for her role on the daytime soap opera “The Young and the Restless.” The video premieres Tuesday, Feb. 5. “Throughout the entire shoot, my (biological) mother was right there with me,” said Kattail. “She really got into it.” For now, she’s going to focus on promoting her album and, of course, performing, including “Cottage Grove,” a track that’s simple, sweet, and positive — just like North County.

Whistleblower to tell corporate tale at local luncheon Jan. 24 The movie “The Informant,” starring Matt Damon, is based on the real-life story of Mark Whitacre, the 1990s whistleblower in the infamous Archer Daniels Midland price-fixing conspiracy.

Whitacre, an Ivy League, Ph.D. and the highest-ranked executive of any Fortunate 500 company to become a whistleblower in U.S. history, currently holds the position of Chief Operating Officer and President of Operations at Cypress Systems, Inc. Drawing from his unique history, he will provide a one-of-a-kind insight into corporate ethics, corporate greed and the warning signs of a flawed corporate leadership.

La Jolla Institute board member Leroy Hood awarded prestigious National Medal of Science Renowned scientist Leroy Hood, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the board of directors of the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology, has been awarded the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest honor bestowed upon scientists. Hood will receive the award from Presi- Dr. Leroy Hood dent Obama in a White House ceremony in early 2013. An inventor and visionary, Hood is president and co-founder of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, and has served on the La Jolla Institute Board since 2009. His key role in developing several pioneering technologies, most notably the automated DNA sequencer, redefined “possible” in genomics research and made him a revered scientific figure worldwide. High-speed DNA sequencers were central to the Human Genome Project, one of the most important scientific achievements of the past half century, which identified the 25,000 genes in human DNA. “I am deeply honored to receive a National Medal of Science, and am profoundly grateful to the many fantastic colleagues and partners with whom I have worked throughout the years,” Hood said. “Transforming human health is my life’s work, and I am proud of all we have accomplished.” Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., La Jolla Institute president & chief scientific officer, said Hood’s receipt of the national award is extremely well-deserved, noting his extraordinary record of scientific achievement. “Lee is a scientist whose work truly has changed the world,” Kronenberg said. “Not only did his DNA sequencer enable the Human Genome Project to proceed, but he is also credited with launching the field of proteomics, the large-scale study of proteins, the body’s amazing cellular workhorses, and
with creating several technologies that form the core of modern molecular biology. Lee’s expansive ideas have and continue to revolutionize the future of medicine, and we are honored that he is a member of our board of directors.” Hood is one of 12 eminent U.S. researchers named as recipients of the National Medal of Science by President Obama in an announcement Dec. 21. “I am proud to honor these inspiring American innovators,” President Obama said. “They represent the ingenuity and imagination that has long made this nation great—and they remind us of the enormous impact a few good ideas can have when these creative qualities are unleashed in an entrepreneurial environment.” The Medal of Science is the latest in a series of major awards received by Hood over the years, whose roster of accomplishments places him in an elite group of scientists. He is one of only 10 scientists, out of more than 6,000 nationwide, elected to all three branches of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering. He is also the recipient of the renowned Lasker award, often called the “American Nobel Prize,” and he received the prestigious Kyoto prize in 2002. In 2009, Rolling Stone magazine named him, “One of the 100 people who are changing America.” Hood also has been featured in Forbes, Newsweek, and the New York Times and counts Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates among his friends. A former professor at Caltech and the University of Washington, Hood established the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle in 2000, a first-of-its-kind endeavor designed to tear down scientific silos and promote cross-disciplinary research for the betterment of human kind. He’s written more than 750 scientific papers, holds 32 patents, and played a role in founding more than 14 biotechnology companies, including Amgen and Applied Biosystems. Applied Biosystems is now part of San Diego-based Life Technologies. Visit www.liai.org.
Local youth will sing out with others at a benefit concert/silent auction to beat ALS on Feb. 11 The premise behind the “Striking A Chord” benefit concert was conceived by local resident Megan Spector, 12, whose Aunt Marjie Block was diagnosed with ALS about three years ago.

With the message of hope leading the way, singers from across the United States will join together to participate in the benefit concert where 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the ALS Association of San Diego (ALSA-SD). Concert proceeds will support finding a cure for this terrible disease, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, named after the famous New York Yankee’s baseball star. Megan has reached out to the San Diego music community and beyond, and has received a welcomed response from exceptional singers who plan on participating. The concert will be held on Monday, Feb. 11, at The Ir- Marjie Block with niece win M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, 5775 Morehouse Drive, in San Megan Spector. Diego. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning theater critic and arts writer Pat Launer, the event will feature talented singers and performers from across the United States. Jason Chase, who has directed numerous productions in the U.S. and Europe, will be the event’s musical director. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students, with Premiere Reserved Seating available to Angel Donors who contribute $100 or more. Tickets may be purchased through the ALSASD via phone at 858-271-5547 or online at http://web.alsa.org/strikingachord . To make the event an even greater success, there will also be an Online Silent Auction running from Jan. 25-Feb. 5. The auction features something for everyone, from Valentines to sports enthusiasts and everything in between. Like the concert tickets, 100 percent of the proceeds from the Silent Auction will be donated to ALSA-SD. Donations are tax deductible. You can find the Auction at http://www.biddingforgood/StrikingAChordForALS .

The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families Habits of successful marriages
What are the special ingredients that make some marriages work while others don’t? The latest research shows that there are specific behaviors and attitudes that can dramatically increase your odds of being happily married. And, as always, it takes two willing par-Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom ticipants to pull it off. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, marriage offers a wide range of benefits, including improvements in economic wellbeing, mental and physical health, and the wellbeing of children. Given that married people tend to live longer, have less depression, recover from illness faster, and tend to be more fiscally sound, marriage is a worthwhile investment. The New Year is a perfect time to check in with each other for a tune up. Based on the research, my clinical observations, and some of my own personal experience, here are some habits of happily married couples. •They create a sense of safety with each other – in good times and bad. They feel comfortable expressing their feelings, problems, and dissatisfactions. •They are mindful about whether they are causing their partner pleasure or pain and consistently try to bring their partner pleasure. •They work at maintaining a secure, loving, emotional connection. Taking time to listen to one another, trying to understand each other, and offering genuine empathy helps calm the brain, the nervous system, and creates safety in the relationship. The biggest risk factor for divorce is prolonged emotional disengagement from each other. •Successful couples allow their partner to influence them. They listen, try to understand each other, and accept their partners’
guidance. •They have realistic expectations. They don’t expect marriage to be easy or for there not to be bumps in the road. •They live within their means and don’t overspend. •They don’t expect their partner to make them happy. Each person finds meaning and personal satisfaction individually or together and takes responsibility for their happiness and personal fulfillment. •They focus more on what’s right about the relationship than what’s wrong. They accept each other’s strengths and weak points and learn how to bring out the best in each other. •They create rituals that nurture a loving friendship, such as taking regular walks together, greeting each other with a hug and kiss, holding hands, and sharing in each other’s interests. “We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.” – Thich Nhat Hanh Recommended Reading: “Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love” by Sue Johnson, Ph.D. “The Secrets of Happy Families: Eight Keys to Building a Lifetime of Connection and Contentment.” By Scott Haltzman.

Acclaimed opera singer seeks to share inspiration, music Laurie Rubin to share new album, memoir at Jan. 18 event BY ROB LEDONNE When Laurie Rubin was growing up in Los Angeles, she knew she was different from the other kids. Raised with a love for music she started taking piano and voice lessons at a very young age, but after seeing a production of “The Phantom of the Opera” she told her instructor at the time she wanted to “sing like them.” What separated her from her peers, however, was that Rubin is blind. “I garnered this interest in opera because my grandparents used to listen to it almost exclusively,” she explained on an early Friday morning from her home in Honolulu, Hawaii. “I first started singing contemporary songs, but then it just snowballed into opera.” The term “snowballed” could be considered an understatement, since Rubin has now built her entire life on the bedrock of opera
If you go When: Friday, Jan. 18, 7:30 p.m. Where: Encinitas Library, 540 Cornish Drive, Encinitas, CA 92024. Tickets: $12.

However, first starting out wasn’t easy as people
weren’t as open. “Once I was in junior high, I felt isolated because of my blindness. All of the kids were a little afraid of me, but I eventually ended up making friends.” Those friends came from a variety of afterschool activities and extracurricular clubs where she met other singers like her who first and foremost “bonded over music.” Those initial clubs introduced her into the world of show business, and she’s never looked back since. After a stint living in New York, Laurie and her partner Jenny moved to Honolulu with a wild dream. “New York was great, but the thing is that when you’re there, there’s a zillion other people doing what you want to do. We loved it and were having success (in the industry), but what we really wanted to do was give back.” From there, the duo moved to Hawaii where they were inspired to start up a performing arts school and festival, based on her partner Jenny’s high school experiences.
Laurie Rubin

“When she was a senior, she attended a performing arts camp for kids from all over the world which she cherished. When we went to Hawaii, we realized there should be a similar program like that there.” So far she says the school, which invites kids between the ages of 8 and
18, has been monumentally rewarding for all involved. “We’re in our fourth season of programing and are now gearing up for the musical ‘Footloose.’ Just seeing it created is one of the most unbelievable things ever.” The school and festival they run, dubbed Ohana
Arts, has been a resounding success among many others in Rubin’s life. She published a memoir about her life experiences this past November called “Do You Dream In Color?” which is also the name of her latest album. As if that all weren’t enough, she’s about to embark on a multi-city tour around the world in support of both projects. “People can expect a concert where I get to turn the auditorium into my living room. It’s me sharing music and stories about my life,” she says of the show which happens to have a stop in Encintas this Friday, Jan. 18, among others in Beverly Hills, Idaho, Wyoming, and Switzerland. The whole point, she says, is to inspire others through her own story. “I have this great life and have everything I never thought I’d have in middle school, whether it be romance or a successful career. The idea is that if you can get through it, you can become a better person for it.” For more information, visit www.Laurie-Rubin.com

Local jewelry designer learns the ropes of big retail while making a name for herself in entertainment industry
“Arm candy” (left) and semi-precious stones are staples of local resident Jackie Brown’s jewelry line, JNB. The actress, pictured at left and right, is also gaining traction in the entertainment industry. COURTESY PHOTOS making jewelry for youth stars such as singer-actress Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, the star of “Wizards of Waverly Place.” Gomez was such a fan of the jewelry that she mentioned Brown’s work in an InTouch Magazine article. “There was a time when Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were fighting and friends kept telling me they were seeing my jewelry on covers of magazines,” Brown said. At one point in her former business, Brown took the path of launching subsidiary lines with celebrity spokespeople, but she realized that wasn’t the right direction for her company, because the designs were selling anyway. Brown’s signature item — one she said was her idea more than five years ago — has now become a popular trend. Her “arm candy” concept was inspired by her sister, Candace, who loved to cover her arms in colorful, casual bracelets. Brown created a design that consists of an elastic band covered with classy beads that can be worn both formally and casually. “It’s my staple product, the thing I was selling the most of at first, and now I see that ‘arm candy’ is everywhere, and they are even using that name,” said Brown. “It’s definitely something I should have trademarked.” Brown is more than just a name behind a popular jewelry line, but she herself is a brand in the making. She hasn’t forgotten about her acting career, and she has been taken on by some of the industry’s top managers over the past year. The Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which represents stars from Oprah Winfrey to Miley Cyrus to Steve Wonder, approached her last year
and told her the hurdles she has overcome in her jewelry business make her just that much more valuable. “At first I met with five agents, and I was like, ‘Woah, this is too big for me,’” said Brown, who ended up signing a contract with CAA. Her attorney also introduced her to Arthur Spivak, known for managing actor Paul Reiser and singer Michelle Branch. Brown took on Spivak as her manager. “He said, ‘I’ve been looking for a girl like you for five years, someone I can
turn into a brand, like the Olsens,’” said Brown, adding that Spivak is working on the developmental side of her image, with the ultimate goal of licensing her name. CAA is focusing on developing her television presence. Brown has done a lot of short films and used to play roles at the San Diego Old Globe Theater, but hasn’t been able put her attention into acting since launching her jewelry companies. She hasn’t forgotten about her passion, however, and she is also getting back behind the camera through her new YouTube channel, in which she will feature tutorials and tips with her costar, local fitness guru Lauryn Evarts of The Skinny Confidential blog. Whereas most actresses make it big and then launch retail brands, Brown’s brand is helping grow her presence in the entertainment industry. “I feel like I am taking the back door approach,” Brown said.
Locally, you can find Brown’s jewelry at Cedros Soles and Pink Lagoon in Solana Beach, as well as Ooh La La in Del Mar. For more information, or to order jewelry online, visit www.jnbjewels.com.

and, in 2011, she starred as the “budget fashionista” on the Style Network TV show “Look For Less.” Most challenging though, was when she went too big too quick with BesoBeso, her former jewelry line that rose quickly when she acquired a celebrity clientele right off the bat, and saw it end with a stressful legal dispute with her former partner. “This is like something Donald Trump would go through,” said Brown, who grew up in Vista, attended Cathedral Catholic High School and later earned a theater degree at the University of San Diego. “My attorneys keep comparing my case to Donald Trump, and it’s so weird to hear that.” She added, jokingly, “It’s like I have 50-year-old problems right now.” But Brown not only picked up the pieces, she came out even stronger when she kept on with her talent — designing jewelry — and launched a solo line called none other than Jacqueline Nicole Brown Jewelry (or “JNB”). She is the featured jeweler in all “7 For all Mankind” stores in the U.S., one of the largest jeans re-
tailers in the nation. Her line is also in more than 220 other various stores, and she gets inquiries from new stores at least once a week, she said. Her online sales, which she said constitutes well over 1,000 units a month, is only icing on the cake. “Right now I am regrouping, reestablishing and catering to clients from the previous business,” Brown said, adding that she has learned many lessons along the way, such as giving a lot of attention to her bigger clients, such as the multi billion-dollar “7 For All Mankind.” For example, the company reached out to Brown in May for leads on a handbag designer, and Brown took the initiative to work with a fellow designer friend on her own handbag prototypes. “They are very particular. When they like something, they like it, and when they like a designer, they stick with that designer,” said Brown. “If they want handbags, I’m going to make handbags … It’s all about working on building those big relationships; that was a mistake, something I didn’t do in the beginning.” Since launching JNB, Brown said she has less stores overall, but she has more reorders and has established better relationships with her clients — which she views as a success. An actress at heart, Brown picked up jewelrymaking in between acting gigs in L.A. several years ago. “When I didn’t have acting work, I needed supplemental income that wasn’t serving tables because I needed to leave an open schedule for auditions,” Brown said. “My girlfriends were making jewelry and having jewelry parties. They were selling pieces for hundreds of dollars and I couldn’t afford that so I learned to make pieces I liked myself.” Making jewelry to wear turned into making jewelry to sell, and Brown also started having jewelry parties. Having several close friends with roles on major TV sets in L.A. worked in Brown’s favor when they let her sell her jewelry on set. Next thing she knew, she was

Athenaeum lecture series will explore Impressionism Art history lecturer Linda Blair will return to the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library with a new five-part Tuesday evening series, “Impressionism Plus Two,” at 1008 Wall St., La Jolla. The lectures will explore the historic context, personalities, theories and techniques of Impressionism, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 22, Jan. 29, Feb. 5, Feb. 19 and Feb. 26. (No lecture Feb. 12.) Impressionism was the product of a handful of gifted, 19th-century French artists that lasted, at most, two decades. This transformative movement, according to Blair, was both epilogue and prologue: epilogue because it ended the traditional art of the previous four centuries, and prologue because it opened the floodgates for 20th century art. The fatigue of traditional art — art born in the workshops of Florence 400 years before — forced these innovative and skilled artists to invent new ways of rendering reality and to develop a new visual acuity. The series will focus on four of the most revolutionary artists of 19th-century France: Impressionists Edouard Manet and Claude Monet, and Post-Impressionists Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cezanne. The series will conclude with a littleknown anecdote relating the American role in rescuing these avant-garde artists from failure and ignominy, and insight into the allure and appeal of Impressionism to 19th

Local doctors respond to aggressive flu season Scripps Health offers tips for early flu season with differing views on the vaccine
BY CLAIRE HARLIN National and local health and governmental organizations, from ambulance service Rural/Metro to the County of San Diego to Scripps Health, have noted an increase of seasonal flu cases in recent weeks and have aired reminders for people to get their flu shots. But one local doctor feels battled around this time of year, because he doesn’t think the flu shot is the best idea for patients. “There’s just not enough evidence right now to make reasonable assertions about safety and effectiveness,” said physician Timothy Bilash, who is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, and recently opened a women’s health practice in Solana Beach. That’s why he has taken the initiative to hold informational discussions on the flu shot at his office, located at 765 Academy Drive, in which he shares studies and theories regarding risks associated with the flu vaccine, as well as concerns he has about the immunization’s safety and efficacy. His next talk will be held at 6 p.m. on Jan. 22. “Every physician is obligated to not harm patients no matter what they practice, and when a patient comes in and orders a treatment, I must make sure that treatment is not harmful and that it is effective and appropriate,” said Bilash, who worked as a locum tenens doctor, which substitutes for other doctors, for 21 years before starting his own OB/GYN practice in Solana Beach last fall. “In my opinion, not one of those three things is valid in the case of the flu shot.” The concerns Bilash outlines in his presentation, which is open to the public, include the inability to assess effects of the vaccine over generations, since it is so new. “Particularly with pregnant women, it doesn’t seem to make sense,” he said. “There are no longterm studies that show the effects the vaccine may have on their children.” He also pointed out that the vaccine’s effectiveness, as well as death rates from the flu, are hard to assess because the flu is grouped together with pneumonia in many studies because the two often happen in conjunction with each other. Many cases that don’t end up in hospital treatment are not reported as well, he said. “The seasonal variations also make it hard to assess cause and effect,” he said, adding that a study released in 2011, which he cited from USA Today, showed that the
vaccine was only 60 percent effective — meaning 40 percent of people who were vaccinated still got the flu. “When I talk to patients, it seems like half the people don’t get the flu shot, and so many others say they got the shot and they [still] ended up getting sick,” he said. Dr. Blaine Jackson, an internal medicine physician who has been practicing in Solana Beach for 11 years, said getting the flu shot will make the illness less strong in the cases in which it is transmitted. He said he “almost demands” that everyone get the flu shot, mainly because it prevents the spread of the virus. “People sometimes say you get the flu because of the shot, but that’s just a reaction. It may make you flare up but it’s improving the immune system,” he said. “If they are right, then so what? It costs $15, and if it works, then great. The benefit is so much greater than the risk.” He added the flu has been much more aggressive this year, and he has been “vaccinating like crazy” at his office, located at 530 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. “People are becoming more accepting of the vaccine and asking for it more and more,” he said. “I actually ran out this year and had to order more.” Kelly Austin, a naturopathic doctor who practices at the Solana Beach Wellness Center, located at 100 S. Cedros Ave., said she doesn’t administer the flu shot at her office, however, she recommends that anyone who is immune compromised receive the shot from their medical doctor — especially this year, she added, because the flu has been so severe. In addition, she recommends other measures in conjunction with the vaccine to boost the immune system, such as vitamin B12 injections and glutathione breathing treatments. “Glutathione is a strong antioxidant that breaks up mucus, and helps promote lung function,” she said. “It needs to be through nasal inhalation treatment or IV therapy to get its benefits.” She also recommended getting eight hours of sleep each night, not exercising too much and reducing sugar and refined carbohydrate intake. For sources and more information on Bilash’s flu shot presentation, visit www. drtimdelivers.com.
With cases of seasonal flu on the rise across the country, Scripps Health is reminding San Diego County residents of some basic tips for keeping influenza at bay and dealing with the illness if it strikes. “The early onset of the flu season this year might have caught some people off guard, but there is still time to get a flu shot,” said Dr. Anil Keswani, an internal medicine physician and Scripps Health corporate vice president of ambulatory care and population health management. “Vaccination, frequent hand washing and taking extra precautions around those who are ill are the best defenses against infection.” People who are 65 and older, children under 2, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions (including asthma, heart disease, neurological conditions, blood disorders, a weakened immune system or are morbidly obese) face a higher risk of developing flu-related complications. “If you feel ill, I’d encourage you to check with your physician,” Dr. Keswani said. Scripps patients can call 1-800-SCRIPPS (1-800-727-4777) to make an appointment. Flu season tips •Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent getting sick. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for enough antibodies to build up in the body to protect against infection. •Wash your hands often with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and
mouth. Avoid contact with sick people. •Watch out for flu symptoms, which can include a fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. •If you become sick, stay home from work and school to avoid infecting others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone without using fever-reducing medicine. •Cover your coughs and sneezes. •Check with your doctor to see if you should be treated with an antiviral drug. •Avoid the emergency room unless you are suffering from more serious flu symptoms, which include trouble breathing or shortness of breath; chest or abdomen pain or pressure; sudden dizziness; confusion; severe or persistent vomiting; flu symptoms that improve but then return with fever and a worse cough. •For children, seek emergency medical help if they are breathing fast or are having trouble breathing; have bluish skin color; aren’t drinking enough fluids, aren’t waking up or interacting; are so irritable they don’t want to be held; have a fever with a rash; aren’t able to eat; don’t shed tears when crying; have significantly fewer wet diapers than normal; flu symptoms improve but then return with fever and a worse cough.

RSF Open House Tour doubles as artist reception
C
athleen Shera with Kramer & Martin, Prudential California Realty in Rancho Santa Fe, hosted an Artist Reception and Open House Tour on Jan. 10. The original works of two local artists, Isabelle Korfhage of Rancho Santa Fe and Noushin Hosseinzadeh of La Jolla, were on display for public viewing. Both artists have dedicated much of their work to the female form and natural expression throughout their careers. “Theses original paintings have been a wonderful complement to this particular home, a mid-century modern remodel by longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident and builder Mark McClure,” Shera said. “We are seeing a movement back to our American architecture through craftsmanship and bungalow styles that allow the outdoors and nature to intertwine with our daily lives” This is the first of three projects that will be redesigned and offered in the Covenant by McClure. Light refreshments were served while guests toured the property, which is listed for sale. A local interior design firm, Showplace Interiors, has staged the home and major furnishings are offered with the sale as a turn-key marketing approach.

Around RSF: ‘The Red Coyote’ Beth Jurecki, weaving wool into yarn; Norada Wilkey looking on.
Aerospace engineer leads De Anza members from sheep to scarf Aerospace engineer and designer of remote sensing satellites and image processing systems Beth Jurecki, now retired, demonstrated the techniques used in the transformation of raw wool into a finished garment for members of the De Anza Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at their monthly luncheon held Jan. 5 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. “Evidence of weaving fabric exists from almost 30,000 years ago,” Jurecki said. “Spindles came into existence as soon as humans learned they could make fabric from animal and vegetable matter.” Jurecki spun wool for the group using a replica of a 5,000-year-old bead whorl spindle found in a Troy archeological site. Along with discussing the history of spinning and weaving, she took attendees through the process of washing, carding, spinning, warping, and finally weaving. Knitters and weavers were advised to avoid winding yarn into a tight ball as the fibers could be stretched. Jurecki is a certified San Diego Master Gardener and Master Composter and volunteers into those programs. She has a habit of wearing pearls even when gardening. An active member of the De Anza DAR chapter, she won first place in the 2012 California American Heritage Contest for a weaving entry she showed during her demonstration at the meeting. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 165,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations. For more information, call Laurel Lemarié, 858-756-2835 or visit www.deanzadar.org.
Sue Berkey, an internationally-known artist, recently installed a sculpture at the home of John and Susan Major in Rancho Santa Fe. The sculpture, titled “The Red Coyote,” depicts the transition from the unmanifest realm into the physical world and then back into the unseen world. The sculpture is 3/8” steel plate that was laser cut and finished with powder coat paint.

The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute to hold six-week course on ethics The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present “Living with Integrity: Navigating Everyday Ethical Dilemmas.” The course is accredited for 7.5 CLE legal ethics credits in the state of California. The institute’s new six-session Winter 2013 course will begin during the week of Feb. 4. Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the sixweek course sessions at 7 p.m. on Mondays at The Morgan Run Club and Resort “There’s a lot of talk about ethics for government and big corporations, but almost every day we confront complex ethical decisions in our own relationships,” said Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s headquarters in New York. “From Nanny cams to our responsibilities to our parents, ‘Living with Integrity’ will provide a framework for making balanced decisions for ourselves and for the people we care about.” Packed with real-life scenarios, “Living with Integrity” challenges students to articulate their own opinions, while providing practical Talmudic wisdom to help them navigate through life’s inevitable ethical challenges. This
course will not only provide the tools to make appropriate decisions, it will also enhance their interaction with family and friends. Like all previous JLI programs, “Living with Integrity” is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571 or visit www.jewishRSF.com for registration and other course-related information.

San Diegans with discriminating palates can rejoice in gourmet goodness with the opening of the highly anticipated Eureka! Gourmet Burgers & Craft Beer at the newly renovated Westfield UTC Mall. The UTC Mall recently underwent a $55 million renovation that has upgraded the 26- year-old property to help improve the overall consumer experience. On Jan. 6, the revitalized UTC became the new home for the gourmet burger and craft beer outfit, hosting the latest hometown micro-brew phenomenon and regional farm – to- table favorites. Renowned, award-winning, Los Angeles-based chef Ron Guidone spearheads the menu for Eureka!, which features a handmade menu sourced from local vendors. Everything from the sauces and dressings to a variety of hand cut fries are made daily. Eureka! San Diego uses 100 percent vegetarian fed, all natural beef, and Eureka! mixologists serve drinks that contain all-natural ingredients, including fresh squeezed orange juice and natural sugars. A signature dish for the Eureka! San Diego hub is the San Diego Caesar Salad served with blackened scallops, sliced green ap-
Eureka burger is open in the Westfield UTC Mall. Courtesy photo ples, croutons and shaved Parmasean cheese. Eureka! takes its food and beverage pairings very seriously. Serving up over 40 different handles of micro-brews and 15 permanent staples, Eureka! has dedicated this location to the community’s diehard commitment to good beer. Some would even argue that San Diego is the nation’s new micro-brew capital. Eureka! isn’t just dedicated to the San Diego beer market; they also exclusively pour San Diego’s Ballast Point’s FUGU vodka and Ballast Point’s Three Sheets Rum at all their locations. Pouring small batch American whiskey and bourbons are protocol at Eureka!, many of which are waiting list only, such as the sought after Pappy Van Winkle (12, 15, 20 and 23 year) bottles. On a typical weekday you’ll find a handful of downtown residents in the bar enjoying Eureka’s “Hoppy Hour” featuring great specials including their famous prohibitionstyle handcrafted cocktails, craft beer of the week and friendly wait staff. Additionally, Eureka’s slogan of “American Craft! Eat, Drink American!” embodies their determined commitment to selecting the best in American spirits, fresh local fare, and providing an atmosphere that works for families or a great night out on the town. Eureka! is located within the UTC Mall at 4545 La Jolla Village Drive in La Jolla. For more information on Eureka!, visit www.eurekaburger.com.

Kick flu and colds to the curb with these fabulous foods The Kitchen Shrink
CATHARINE KAUFMAN Here is a selection from the arsenal of protective foods that will keep your sick days down and spirits up. Probiotic Powerhouses These fermented foods contain beneficial gut-bacteria that dials-up digestion and the immune system. Be a culture vulture and add a scoop of yogurt to your granola or a dollop to a baked spud. As not all yogurts are created equal, look for those with a mother lode of live cultures, such as lactobacillus or acidophilus. Goat dairy typically has an added oomph of probiotics. Kefir, a fermented dairy that resembles a yoghurttype beverage, is slightly
sour and refreshing, and packed with antioxidants and billions of colony-forming units. Drink it straight up or blend with fresh berries and a drizzle of agave syrup. For savory palates, load up on probiotics like a sour dill pickle and a heap of fermented cabbage, aka sauerkraut. Fresh refrigerated sauerkraut trumps jarred or canned with a bigger bang of probiotics. For an Asian riff on sauerkraut, try spicy Kimchi, a Korean staple of fermented cabbage, one of the highest probiotic sources around, also packed with Vitamins A, stress-balancing B and antioxidant C. If you have a yen for Japanese cuisine, miso soup, made from fermented soybean paste, balances digestion while adding a dose of immune-boosting lactobacilli and bifidus bacteria. Or do Tempeh, an ancient Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans and shaped in a densely packed patty, much like tofu. A gustatory sponge, tempeh absorbs flavors making it ideal in stews, curries and sauces. To wash it all down nicely, Kombucha tea (al-

Liberally brush on both sides of bread, and bake until golden. Top with lemon zest. and especially mellow yellow lemons, are loaded with the mighty C warrior. For less acidic choices do broccoli, bell peppers and cabbage. Leafy greens give a shot of Vitamin D to ward off invading viruses and bacteria, while sunflower seeds and almonds pack a load of immune and energy boosting Vitamin E. Pomegranates and blueberries are dual-purpose weapons, protecting cells from oxidation, while boosting precious immune sys-
tem. Mushroom Militia Traditional Chinese healers recognized the healthful properties of mushrooms for thousands of years. Considered “immuno-modulators,” mushrooms contain bioactive compounds that can amazingly dial-up a weak immune system compromised in its ability to fight infections, or widdle down an over-active one. Shiitake, Maitake and Reishi are immune-boosting fungal rock stars, so add them generously to soups, stews, risottos, omelets, marinara sauces, toss them grilled with baby greens, or smother them between flaky layers of puff pastry for a divine ‘shroom strudel. Garlic Gladiators To ward off viruses, bacteria, inflammation, scratchy throats, colds and creatures of the night like mosquitoes and the occasional vampire, eat a smashed clove of raw garlic with your buttered toast about once a week on one of your stay-at-home days. Raw garlic is loaded
with allicin, a potent sulfur compound that has been credited with having the power of killing 23 types of bacteria along with assorted viruses (and endowing garlic with its infamous odor). Garlic also contains Vitamins A, B6 and C, selenium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc and flavonoids making this “stinky rose” a powerhouse antioxidant and immune booster. Fiber Fighters A recent study from Norway has shown that oats and barley are loaded with beta-glucan, a super antioxidant and antimicrobial fiber to amp up immunity. It’s be found to trump even the mighty cold and flu warrior Echinacea, so whip up a bowl of old-fashioned oatmeal with a splash of almond milk and sprinkling of Vitamin C packed dried cherries, toss some oats in your cookie dough, meatballs and stuffings. Do a barley tabouli, risotto or hearty soup with mushrooms for a double dose of immunity. For additional immuneboosting recipes e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or check out FreeRangeClub.com

accepted the trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed Of Trust. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the successful bidder at the sale shall be entitled to a return of the monies paid. The successful bidder shall have no further recourse against the Trustee or BeneďŹ ciary. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s ofďŹ ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneďŹ ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or (714) 786-5351 or visit this Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com or www. noticesolutions.com using the ďŹ le number assigned to this case 10-07017. Information about postponement that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. We are assisting the BeneďŹ ciary in the collection of a debt and any information we obtain will be used for that purpose whether received orally or in writing.
