BY KAREN BILLINGNew playground equipment

for Covenant kids is set to land at the Rancho Santa Fe ball fields this week. The arrival marks a near year-long process and is the first success-ful effort of many to get a commu-nity playground in place.

If all goes as planned, the equipment could be ready for min-iature princesses and ninjas to be climbing and sliding by Halloween.

“I’m still just so giddy, I’m still sort of shocked,” said Heather Slo-sar, the local mother of five who led the playground effort, first ap-

proaching the Association in March 2011. “It feels great. There are a lot of people who really wanted this for our community for years. It just came down to the community and the Association really getting be-hind it. Everyone had a ‘We Can’ attitude.”

The wooden, natural-looking play structure will be located near the back of the dirt parking lot, tucked behind the baseball dia-mond backstop at the RSF ball fields, south of Richardson Field on

new village commercial cen-ter Plaza De Acacias will kick off in the next couple of weeks. Located at the south-east corner of Avenida de Acacias and El Tordo in the RSF Village, the two-story, 6,170-square-foot project is expected to be complete by May 2013.

The project came before the Rancho Santa Fe Associ-ation board on Oct. 4 for the last of three reviews — it was conditionally approved in October of 2011.

Only small changes

have been made to the proj-ect since last year, all driven by the county approval pro-cess, according to developer Mike Grehl. The changes in-clude a set of stairs deleted from the front of the build-ing and replaced with a planter, a mechanical equip-ment screen and an ADA-ac-cessible elevator added in the lobby.

Developers Brad Geier and Mike Grehl, who both grew up in the Ranch, hope not to disrupt the commu-nity during the estimated seven-month-long construc-

Association redefi nes Open Space PolicyBY KAREN BILLING

The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Open Space Policy and Fund will now be known as the Covenant En-hancement Policy and Fund, to better reflect the is-sues the Association is fac-ing today and establish clear guidelines for making prop-erty acquisitions in the fu-ture.

The board voted on the change at its Oct. 4 meeting.

The redefined policy now allows for acquisition of several types of parcels in-cluding: critical parcels for open space; purchase of par-cels to allow the removal of existing development; pur-chase of buildings, land easements or development rights to preserve communi-ty features, landscapes or historic resources; partner-ship acquisitions of open space parcels; purchase of parcels for recreational needs; and expenditure of

For nearly 90 years, the towering red gum eucalyptus trees have defined the sky-line of Rancho Santa Fe. Now, after years of combating attacks by the lerp psyllid para-site and struggling through recent drought conditions, the majority of the red gum population is dead or dying. The RSF Asso-ciation has determined that bold steps must be taken now, both to protect the commu-nity and to preserve the forest of skyline trees that has graced our vistas.

RSF Fire Chief Tony Michel has alerted the Association board and the Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE) that the “Dead and Dying Trees” (DDT) repre-sent a significant fire hazard to the Associa-tion and its residents. He has recommend-ed that the Association begin selectively thinning forested areas where the concen-tration of dead red gum eucalyptus trees is the heaviest. This culling process will re-duce the fire hazard by reducing the fuel load. In addition, with less competition for scarce water and nutrients, the struggling trees that remain will have a better chance to recover. The large stand of dead and dy-ing red gum eucalyptus trees in the accom-panying photo is in the 5000 block of Linea del Cielo.

According to Michel: “For the last nine years the DDT problem has been increasing and has escalated the fire threat to the com-munity. In response to the declining state of Rancho Santa Fe’s urban forest, the Fire District and Association are developing strategies that will help in reducing our community’s wildfire threat and which will protect the community from another disas-ter similar to what we experienced during the 2007 Witch Creek fire.”

At the annual retreat of the RSFA board in August, the board determined that the is-sues threatening of the health of our forest should be a priority for this coming year. The Committee on the Natural Environ-ment (CONE), under the leadership of Bill Beckman, has developed a four-pronged ap-proach to tackling the forest health prob-lems. First, the Association will work with the Fire District to target areas where the density of DDT’s warrants a thinning effort. Second, the Association will begin selected removal of DDT’s on Covenant-owned or controlled property. Third, representatives of the Association staff, as well as RSFFD staff members, will work with individual residents to identify DDT’s on their proper-ty and will help residents to find cost-saving ways to remove the appropriate trees.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly for the future, the Association will begin the process of planting new trees in areas where DDT’s will be removed. Future planting will be done with a focus on forest diversity and drought tolerance. The red gum eucalyptus may not dominate the RSF forests 10 years from now, but the CONE committee is de-termined that the distinctive RSF skyline will survive.

This article is the first in a series of articles about RSF Forest Health. The next article will provide more detail about ongoing efforts to solve the problems our forest faces.

RSF Forest Health: First in a series BY KAREN BILLING

The Rancho Santa Fe Association and the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation will share the $24,720 cost of re-pairing structural damage on the Osuna Adobe. The Association board approved the expenditure at its Oct. 4 meeting.

Kirk Dakan, senior planner, said the damage on the adobe was discovered during the summer when the $55,000 concrete stucco removal and adobe resurfac-ing project was underway.

“The stucco came off very easily and revealed a lot about the history of the building, however, it also re-vealed that the adobe had some structural problems,” said Dakan of the rotted wood of the “lintels,” the load-bearing component above the windows and doors.

Dakan said that the wood is in such bad shape that “you can literally poke a finger into the rotted wood.”

The refinishing project is complete on some sides of the adobe, but has been held up on the west side un-til the repairs are made. The Osuna Committee made the request to the Association for the funds to make the re-pairs.

The Association re-ceived two bids and Dakan admitted to being a little surprised at the cost, but the high cost is attributed to the complicated nature of re-pairing lintels in an adobe structure.

“I’ve seen it and I’m amazed it can be fixed for $24,000,” said director Anne Feighner, who said the work is crucial to save the adobe.

The contractor awarded

the bid is Mark Sauer Con-struction, which specializes in historic adobe restoration and has been working on the ado-be resurfacing and stucco re-moval.

Director Larry Spit-caufksy noted that while the finance committee approved the expenditure, the commit-tee was reluctant to do so without a long-term plan in place for the Osuna property.

Director Ann Boon agreed with that logic, saying that the Association needs to be careful that the adobe doesn’t turn into a “money pit” and that the Osuna Com-mittee should revise its num-bers for the projected cost of the renovation.

“I hope they don’t ask us for more money until some-body comes to us with an overall plan,” Boon said.

BY CITY NEWS SERVICEA traffic crash near Fairbanks Ranch Country Club left two motorists severely injured

Oct. 5. The collision occurred about 7:50 a.m., when a 68-year-old Rancho Santa Fe man lost control of his 2007 Toyota Camry while heading west on a curving stretch of San Die-guito Road at high speed, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The car spun out and skidded into an eastbound lane near Winland Hills Drive, where it was struck broadside by a 2003 Toyota RAV4 driven by a 74-year-old San Diego woman, CHP public-affairs Officer Jim Bettencourt said. Medics took both drivers to Scripps Memo-rial Hospital La Jolla, where they were admitted in critical condition.

Intoxication was not believed to have been a factor in the collision, Bettencourt said.

BY JOE TASHThe city of San Diego is willing to con-

sider a lease extension of three to five years with the San Diego Polo Club for property the club has occupied for the past 26 years, the city’s chief operating officer said Oct. 9.

Polo club officials are set to meet with city representatives on Oct. 16 to discuss the lease extension for the 80-acre parcel at El Camino Real and Via de la Valle where the club has operated since 1986.

The property is owned by the city of San Diego, and the club’s 26-year lease ex-pired in March. Rather than negotiate ex-clusively with the club for a long-term ex-tension of the lease, the city decided to open up the bidding to other groups to en-sure that it got the best value for the proper-ty, said Jay Goldstone, the city’s chief oper-ating officer.

The city had planned to issue a request for proposals from groups interested in leas-ing the property this spring, but the process was delayed while the city finalized the de-sign for an expansion and realignment of El Camino Real, which could end up cutting across a corner of the polo club property, Goldstone said.

That left the club on a month-to-month lease since March, making it difficult to spend money on maintenance, or sub-lease the property for such events as the popular Surf Cup youth soccer tournament.

Any extension of the lease would have to be approved by the San Diego City Coun-cil, Goldstone said, but the city is willing to sit down and discuss an interim extension with the polo club.

Currently, the club pays the city $9,842 per month to lease the property. Goldstone

would not comment on possible terms for an interim lease.

He said that once the El Camino Real project is completed over the next three to five years, the city would issue a request for proposals and find a long-term lessee for the property.

Goldstone said he is hoping the city can reach a deal for an interim lease exten-sion before a new mayor takes over. Mayor Jerry Sanders will step down Dec. 3 at the end of his term and a new mayor — either City Councilman Carl DeMaio or U.S. Rep. Bob Filner — will take over.

Meanwhile, polo club officials said they would prefer a long-term lease, but want at least an interim extension so they can sign agreements with outside groups that stage youth soccer and lacrosse tournaments and other events.

Club president Ron Bonaguidi said he is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, Oct. 16, with Jim Barwick, director of the city’s real estate assets department, to discuss an inter-im lease extension.

For now, he said, the interim extension would allow the club to spend money to maintain the property and to make the property available for outside events.

The uncertainty over the lease has al-ready led one group that sponsors a youth lacrosse tournament to move its event to South Carolina, costing San Diego millions of dollars in visitor revenue, Bonaguidi said.

But he and club officials are optimistic the city will move forward with an interim lease, he said this week.

“It’s promising and we’re optimistic and hopeful,” he said.

Offi cials to discuss possible extension of San Diego Polo Club lease

BY JOE TASHThe state agency that

oversees the Del Mar Fair-grounds will have to com-plete additional environ-mental studies before it can move forward with plans to upgrade the property, based on a judge’s ruling in a law-suit against the agency.

The lawsuit was filed by the San Diego chapter of the Sierra Club, and alleged that the 22nd District Agricultur-al Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, did not adequately address a series of environmental is-sues before approving an ambitious master plan for the property in 2011.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Ronald Prager, in a split decision issued Wednesday (Oct. 3), rejected some of the Sierra Club’s al-legations and upheld others regarding the environmen-tal impact report for the master plan.

The bottom line is that further environmental work will be required before the district can start any of the projects in the master plan, which includes construction of a new exhibit hall with

underground parking, pav-ing a large dirt parking lot, realigning the Solana Gate, building new offices and box office, adding an elec-tronic reader board along In-terstate 5 and construction of a health club and sports training facility.

Both sides interpreted the ruling as a victory.

“The overwhelming majority of complaints were rejected by the judge. This is a huge victory for the dis-trict and the taxpayers,” said Adam Day, president of the district’s board of directors.

Judge Prager provided “a very clear path to correct the minor deficiencies he has identified,” which should take two to three months, Day said, which in turn would clear the way for the district to move forward with fairgrounds improve-ments.

The first priority, Day said, would be to replace the fairgrounds’ aging exhibit halls —some of which are 60 years old — with “new, up-to-date, energy efficient, modern exhibit halls.”

But an attorney for the Sierra Club said it won’t be quite so simple to remedy the deficiencies in the envi-ronmental impact report identified by the judge.

In his ruling, Prager de-termined that the district must do additional work in four areas: traffic generation and mitigation, greenhouse gases and water supply.

“I’m pessimistic that it will be as easy as Mr. Day suggested that it might be,” said attorney Jan Chatten-Brown. “These issues are not going to be readily ad-dressed, they are going to have to do some hard work.”

“It’s not a quote, fix-it ticket, that was the term the district’s counsel used in court. It’s not at all such a simple matter, there’s a fair-ly rigorous test that is ap-plied,” Chatten-Brown said.

The fact that Prager sid-ed with the Sierra Club on any of the issues it raised is a “game-changer,” said Chat-ten-Brown, and means the club prevailed in its legal ac-tion. The club is also enti-

BY PAT SHERMANThe world’s fore-

most authority on Chimpanzees, Jane Goodall, was in La Jolla Sept. 28 to raise money for her Virgin-ia-based wildlife and environmental con-servation organiza-tion, The Jane Good-all Institute.

The event was held at the La Jolla Farms estate of Mi-chelle Lerach, owner of Cups bakery, and husband, William Le-rach.

Prior to the event, the 78-year-old primatologist, an-thropologist and United Nations Mes-senger of Peace sat down with this news-paper group to share some of her observa-tions on mankind’s closest living relatives.

Though Goodall does not travel with a live chimp, a stuffed Congolese companion was at her side, similar to Ju-bilee, the toy chimp her father gave her as a child, which still sits on her dresser in London.

“He’s too frail to travel,” Goodall said of Jubilee, intro-ducing “Mr. H,” her stuffed traveling companion of 16 years, which was given to her by young Marine who lost his eyesight.

Asked about the moment at Gombe Stream National Park when Goodall discovered chimpanzees’ dark side — which includes a capacity for violent and aggressive behav-ior, including cannibalism — Goodall said it was “really shocking.”

However, she said chimps also have a tremendous ca-pacity for love, compassion and altruism.

“The chimpanzees show both, just as we do,” she said. “They have very strong bonds between family members, and can live to be 70 years. … Brothers will support each other; adult females will rescue their fully-grown sons, or go to their help, anyway.”

During her 45-year study on the social and familial in-teractions of wild chimps in Gombe Stream in Tanzania, Goodall became one of the first researchers to challenge two long-held beliefs — that chimps are strictly vegetarian and that only humans construct and use tools.

Asked if chimps have the capacity for more crafty en-deavors, such as knitting or decoupage, Goodall laughed, noting that chimps in captivity have displayed a love of painting and have been taught more than 400 symbols of American Sign Language.

“There are some chimpanzees who are very sophisticat-ed in the use of touch pads and computers,” she said. “They have amazing memories for positions of numbers on the page.”

The greatest difference between chimps and humans, she said, is mankind’s “explosive” intellectual development — an evolutionary process she doesn’t see occurring in chimps without a spoken language or its equivalent.

“If they did develop, I would hope that the right brain would develop at the expense of the left brain, because look at the mess we’ve made,” she said. “How is it the most intel-lectual creatures who have ever walked on the face of the planet are destroying their only home?”

Goodall currently travels 300 days a year sharing her message of forest conservation, raising awareness about the

commercial monkey, chimp and ape meat trade, and reach-ing out to the next generation through her organization’s “Roots and Shoots” program, which works with preschool- to college-age youth in more than 130 countries.

“In Tanzania there’s about 200 square miles of forest that we’re helping to restore or protect, by working with the people, getting their support and helping them to live better lives — working with the people so that they don’t need to cut the trees down or hunt the monkeys, because they can do other things,” she said.

Roots and Shoots participants work in groups, choosing from three projects to improve the planet: people, animals and the environment.

“You learn about it, yes, but (you also) roll up your sleeves and get out and take action,” Goodall said. “It’s main message is every single individual matters, every single indi-vidual makes a difference every single day — and we have a choice as to what kind of difference we’re going to make.”

“There’s no point in saving anything if the young peo-ple aren’t going to look after it better than we have,” she said.

RSF Fire District to host Open House at newly rebuilt station


BY JOE TASHThey come from all walks of life, from a

convict who spent more than 30 years in prison, to an 18-year-old girl who had never been in trouble, to a man whose three children are in foster care. What they share is a common desire to get a job and live with dignity.

They are the clients of Second Chance, a San Diego nonprofit that has helped nearly 4,000 people get back to work since it was founded in 1993.

“We get them ready, equipped, excited, pas-sionate about getting back into the workforce again,” said Robert Coleman, executive director of Second Chance. “They come to Second Chance with hope, that they want to be differ-ent. They’re not sure how to get there, but they know in their hearts they want it.”

This year, an eight-part documentary series about Second Chance, called “Get to Work,” aired on the Sundance Channel. The premier episode of the series will be shown at a special screening at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18, at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe at an event co-spon-sored by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and Second Chance. The event is free, but reserva-tions are required.

Staff and clients featured in the episode will be on hand, and introductory remarks will be made by San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, a Second Chance board member.

To make a reservation, call Maureen Polimadei at 619-839-0953.Debbie Anderson, programs manager for the Foundation, said the purpose of the event

is “to raise awareness of the programs at Second Chance. If people are inclined to support the program, that would be wonderful, too.”

In 2011, the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation awarded two grants to Second Chance: $20,000 to its Urban Garden Project, part of a program that supports at-risk youth; and $10,000 for a program that assists homeless veterans in finding jobs and other resources, Anderson said.

The Sundance Channel series came about when producers began looking at STRIVE, a program based in Harlem, New York, that provides basic training in how to get a job, from the proper attitude and appearance to interview and resume-writing skills.

Second Chance uses the STRIVE model in its four-week training course, and Sundance producers visited San Diego to see how the program worked. Sundance executive Marco Bresaz said he and his colleagues were impressed by the Second Chance program, and also saw an opportunity to show a different side to the story of Americans trying to break out of homelessness, drug addiction and other problems to get jobs and put their lives back on track.

San Diego, he said, was a sort of “paradise lost. Even in a city as physically beautiful as San Diego, people are struggling.”

One of the things that gets driven home by the documentary, said Bresaz, is the com-monality between the audience and those who are in the program.

“As I saw people come through, I felt lucky, they weren’t all that different from me,” he said.

The skills needed to thrive in the business world are alien to many of the Second Chance clients, Bresaz said. He recalled one young man who came in late to a session and was told that if he wanted to stay, he had to smile. At first, the youth, who had grown up in a gang-infested neighborhood, resisted.

In the youth’s world, Bresaz said, “a smile is a weakness, a smile will get your butt kicked.” But finally, he relented and had a breakthrough, realizing there was a different way to relate to the people around him.

In many districts bringing test scores up to levels con-sidered acceptable is the biggest issue. San Dieguito Union School District scores are already outstanding. Our district’s biggest challenge is to ensure student achievement contin-ues to improve so that our students attain competencies and skill levels to compete in the 21st century economy.

Another significant challenge facing us is declining edu-cational funding and the State borrowing from school dis-tricts which requires we establish spending priorities and further tighten our belts. Unfunded State and Federal man-dates have also been growing, requiring the district to spend valuable resources. Deciding how best to use every resource the district will require an engaged board willing to ask questions, listen actively to public input, and conduct their own research to make sure all options have been explored. The board must be prepared to make cuts and vote no to keep expenditures within funding limits.

BY KAREN BILLINGRancho Santa Fe resident Stu Rickerson recently at-

tended his 45-year high school reunion in New Jersey. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2005, it was a celebration he wasn’t sure he would be around to attend.

Rickerson knows he is one of the lucky ones as pancre-atic cancer only has a 6 percent five-year survival rate, the only major cancer with a survival rate in the single digits. He was excited to attend his reunion, to see his classmates who had remained so supportive over the course of his ill-ness, but he was more excited to see the passage of a new bill that could ensure more pancreatic cancer patients have the opportunity for more reunions and happy endings.

On Sept. 19, the U.S. House of Representatives unani-mously passed the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act (for-merly known as the Pancreatic Cancer Research and Educa-tion Act), which formally requires the National Cancer In-stitute (NCI) to create a long-term plan for cancers with low survival rates and to promote scientific advancements.

The act provides an opportunity to change the future for pancreatic cancer by implementing a research plan that could help develop early detection methods and effective treatment options that are currently lacking. Pancreatic cancer currently gets less than 2 percent of NCI’s research budget despite being the only major cancer with a five-year survival rate in the single digits.

“Cancer, in its many forms, exacts a very high eco-nomic and personal burden to families—mine is no differ-ent,” said bill co-sponsor Congressman Brian Bilbray. “Pan-creatic cancer is one of the most aggressive of the cancers with an extremely high mortality rate. Unlocking its mys-teries will not only save the lives of those afflicted with this terrible disease, but can be the stepping stone to finding the cure of other aggressive cancers.”

Rickerson said Bilbray worked very hard on the Energy and Commerce Committee that deals with medical care is-sues to ensure that the bill got to the floor and received a favorable vote.

“Bilbray’s office really was energetic and tireless in working to keep this bill moving forward so I’m really thankful for him and his hardworking staff,” Rickerson said.

Both Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer were co-sponsors of the bill, as well as Congressman Bob Filner of the 51st district, and current mayoral candidate.

It is the hope that the senate will vote quickly and it gets signed into law by the president. They are on a tight timeline as the 211th Congress halted work for the election and ends in January and, if not passed, the slate is wiped clean and they would have to start the process all over again.

“I think it’s a realistic hope because 59 senators co-sponsored this bill and it’s bi-partisan and non-partisan support,” Rickerson said. “I believe they will put aside the gridlock we read about all the time and decide that this is an issue that is both urgent and timely.”

While pancreatic cancer is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in America, according to a recent Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN) study, it has the potential to move up to the second leading cause of cancer death by 2020 if not by 2015.

“That’s what’s so encouraging about this bill,” said Rickerson. “I personally believe that it will help change that deadly trajectory of this disease.”

Rickerson has stayed very involved in the fight as a member of PANCAN’s national board of directors.

“PANCAN continues to lead the fight on behalf of pan-creatic cancer patients across the country in a comprehen-sive and strategic way,” said Rickerson. “About a year ago we set a goal to double the pancreatic cancer survival rate by 2020.”

Rickerson said that, in the last year, PANCAN has seen several promising developments, such as a comprehensive clinical research database so patients who are looking to get into clinical trials can be matched up, and a 28 percent spike in research grant funding.

But what Rickerson sees as one of the most important accomplishments is the advocacy effort helped by the “his-toric” passage of the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act.

This Saturday, Oct. 13, PANCAN will host Purple Stride, a 5K run and 1-mile walk at Mission Bay Park’s De Anza Cove. The goal this year is to raise $175,000. To register, vis-it pancan.org/sandiego.

He is an activist in shaping global tech-nological policies, serves on the U.S. Depart-

ment of Commerce Spectrum Advisory Committee, and is passionate about us-ing wireless technol-ogy to revolutionize health care and com-merce. In addition, he is an entrepreneur who has co-founded a number of companies, among them Great-Call, Inc., the innovator of the Jitterbug cell phone and service.

Join Viewpoints on Tuesday, Oct. 30, to meet our very own “Captain Kirk” and learn more about emerging technology, data pri-vacy, and mobile health care among other topics, in the Fellowship Center at the Vil-lage Church. The evening will begin with wine and light hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m. The discussion will be held from 6:30 - 8 p.m. and will include time for audience ques-tions. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Advance ticket purchase is en-couraged and may be purchased either on-line at www.villageviewpoints.com or by calling 858-381-8070.

Viewpoints is co-presented by The Vil-lage Church and the Rancho Santa Fe Foun-dation. The goal of the lecture series is to inform, inspire and impact by providing a forum in which individuals, renown in their field, share their knowledge, wisdom and experience with members of our communi-ty.

Hall of Famer Julie Krone to appear at Rancho Riding Club

Hall of Fame T h o r o u g h b r e d jockey and local resident Julie Kro-ne will be the fea-tured guest at an open house and barbecue at the Rancho Riding Club in Rancho Santa Fe on the af-ternoon of Satur-day, Oct. 20.

“Julie will be sharing stories of her life-long love of horses and how they can impact our lives in a positive way,” said Debbie Rocha, Ran-cho Riding Club instructor and co-organizer of the event. “The whole community is in-vited to hear her inspirational message, and to learn more about the Rancho Riding Club.”

The Rancho Riding Club, founded in

1946, is an all-purpose equestrian facility lo-cated on 11 acres in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe. The club offers year-round activi-ties, including horse shows, instructional clinics and social events, plus access to the extensive network of Rancho Santa Fe riding trails.

In addition to winning 3,705 races dur-ing her Thoroughbred career – including the 2003 Pacific Classic at Del Mar — Krone is an experienced equestrian in a variety of rid-ing and training disciplines. After compet-ing the final two years of her racing career in Southern California, she retired in 2004. She lives in Carlsbad with her husband, Jay Hovdey, and daughter Lorelei.

The Oct. 20 event will begin at 3 p.m. at the clubhouse of the Rancho Riding Club, with a barbecue to follow Krone’s remarks. The club is located on Rambla de las Flores, south of La Granada. The Riding Club board of directors requests that those interested in attending RSVP by Oct. 17 at (760) 803-4041.

Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters has resumed its fall and winter schedule each Tuesday from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. The group meets at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center in a pri-vate meeting room on the first floor.

If you have been thinking about joining Toastmasters, please come to a meeting to see how much fun they have. Everyone is there to help each other become competent speakers and to take the fear out of standing up in front of a group or an audience.

Based on recent research, the overwhelming reason people join Toastmasters is to im-prove speaking skills (71 percent); to improve interpersonal communication (42 percent); and to improve self-esteem (35 percent). You’ll also be happy to know this is not a lost art…the club also has younger members! As a matter of fact, 40 percent of the national members are under 35. (It is a fact that email and texting cannot make emotion ring true.)

The fall and winter agenda will be chock full of special events, contests, a wine tasting party and more; always with fun as the main ingredient. Stop by any Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m. to join in. You’ll see why Toastmasters has been around for so many years.

For more information you can email any of the following board members: Paul Brown, president, [email protected]; Sue Roberts, membership chair, [email protected]; Mi-chelle Balk, VP education, [email protected]; or MaryBeth Brown, publicity chair, [email protected].

Rancho Santa Fe’s R. Roger Rowe School will kick off its annual Red Rib-bon Week on Mon-day, Oct. 29. This year’s theme is “Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Proud, Say NO!”

Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign promoting drug, tobacco and alcohol abuse prevention and awareness in youths and their parents. More criti-cally, this educational campaign encour-ages students of every age to choose to live healthy and positive lives and pro-vides parents with the tools to help. For older students, making healthy choices include saying “NO” to drugs, tobacco and alcohol. For younger students, healthy choices involve taking care of their bodies, good nutrition and fire pre-vention.

Each day of Red Ribbon Week, the school will sponsor different events and activities to demonstrate to students the importance of making healthy choices in their own lives. Students will tie red rib-bons to the fences to indicate they have pledged to be drug free. Students in grades K-4 will hang “hand print” ban-ners outside on the courtyard railings to indicate their pledge to make healthy choices. Students in grades 5-8 will turn in entries to an optional essay contest about what choices they will make in their lives that will always help to keep them alcohol, tobacco and drug free.

Jamba Juice will be sold outside the PAC ($2 for 8 oz.). Proceeds benefit

Hope2gether, a non-profit founded by Sherrie and Aaron Rubin to educate and raise awareness about the rising abuse of prescription drugs.

The school’s daily dress themes as follows: Monday: “Turn Your Back on Drugs,” (wear cloths backward); Tuesday: “Hats Off to Good Choices,” (wear your favorite hat); Wednesday – Halloween Carnival (no Red Ribbon dress theme); Thursday – “Wear Red,”; and Friday – “Too Bright to do Drugs” (wear bright clothing).

Red Ribbon Week commemorates the memory of Drug Enforcement Agent, Kiki Camarena, who was murdered by the drug cartel in Mexico in 1985. Red Rib-bon Week started as a national response to his killing. Special Agent Camarena was an 11-year veteran of the DEA as-signed to the Guadalajara, Mexico, office where he was on the trail of the country’s biggest marijuana and cocaine traffickers. In 1985, he was extremely close to un-locking a multi-billion dollar drug pipe-line.

On Feb. 7, 1985, he was kidnapped, brutally tortured, and murdered by Mexi-can drug traffickers. His tragic death opened the eyes of many Americans to the dangers of drugs, and the interna-tional scope of the drug trade. Shortly af-ter Kiki Camarena’s death, Congressman Duncan Hunter and Camarena’s high school friend Henry Lozano launched “Camarena Clubs” in his hometown of Calexico, California. Hundreds of club members pledged to lead drug free lives to honor the sacrifice made by Kiki Ca-marena.

Join the fun at Rowe Halloween Parade and CarnivalThe Rancho Santa Fe Education Foun-

dation invites all community members to join R. Roger Rowe School families at the annual Halloween Parade and Carnival on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Yes, this year’s Carnival is actually on Halloween, so don’t wait around until dark for the fun to begin – come to the Carnival! We hope our local preschools, businesses, sponsors, and neigh-bors will line the streets as our kids show off their costumes in our annual parade and then come enjoy some carnival games too!

School will be dismissed at 11:15 a.m. so please join us first for lunch on the upper blacktop near the field before the costume parade. We will have several great food trucks and booths serving a delicious selec-tion for everyone ranging from $1-$6 begin-ning at 11:15 a.m. and all afternoon. We will have pizza, gourmet tacos, corn dogs, funnel cakes, nachos, salads, fruit smooth-ies, lemonade, ice cream, shave ice and more.

The fun continues with the annual pa-rade at 12:15 p.m. Beginning at noon, stu-dents and their families in grades pre-K through 2nd grade will gather in front of the school gym and 3rd grade through 6th grade will gather inside the gym. Ghosts,

goblins, princesses, superheroes, cowboys and cheerleaders will all begin the parade together from the gym, through town and back to school. Parents are asked to walk with their children.

Immediately following the parade, the Carnival will begin at 12:30 p.m. The Carni-val is going to be so much fun this year. We’re bringing back the cake walk, cake-dec-orating contest and teacher jail. We’ve add-ed a teacher dunk tank (yes!!), a haunted Tunnel of Terror, a tattoo and ghoulie scar booth, a photo booth, bumper cars, a cos-tume exchange for those outgrown cos-tumes and exciting laser tag duels grouped by grade! A DJ will get the crowd going (The limbo? Thriller? Karaoke? A flash mob?) and of course, we will also have all of our old fa-vorite carnival booths too! We hope to see everyone this Halloween!

Admission is $20 in advance or $25 on the day of the carnival. Wristbands will be on sale on Friday, 10/19; Monday, 10/29 and Tuesday, 10/30 at school drop-off and pick-up locations. We will also be collecting gently used costume donations (child and adult sizes) at the same time. — RSF Educa-tion Foundation

(Above) Residents listen to Will Haifley, general manager of Fairbanks Ranch Association. Fairbanks Ranch, Rancho Santa Fe’s first gated residential community, recently

completed the final phase of the reconstruction of its six entry gates. The four second-ary gates were completed last year and an Oct. 5 ceremony marked the completion and dedication of the two main entry gates.

The Fairbanks Ranch community is accessed through six gates all of which inter-sect San Dieguito Road. The construction project included two new guard houses at the main entrances, new entry monuments and gates at all six gates, signage enhance-ments, lighting, interior roadways at entrances and turn-out lanes from San Dieguito Road.

The Gates and Road Improvement Project was approved in 2008 in a record vote in which 90 percent of Fairbanks Ranch residents cast their ballots with an 80 percent ap-proval rate for both the capital expenditure for the project and the special assessment.

Founded in 1980, the 1,240-acre neighbor to the Covenant is home to 600 resi-dences, an equestrian center, five tennis courts, a 9-hole putting green, two lakes, a vol-leyball court, playground and picnic areas, hiking and jogging trails, and more.

effort to make it a smooth construction process,” Grehl said, noting that they have worked out an off-site park-ing plan for construction ve-hicles and worked with the school and the RSF Patrol on best routes during peak school times. “We will try very hard not to get in any-body’s way, Grehl said.”

RSF resident Jere Oren has actively participated with the YMCA since he was a child. Having been involved with different “Ys” across the country, Jere’s parents, Sophie and Samuel, taught him to love all that the YMCA has to offer from a very young age. This love has stayed with him to today and he can frequent-ly be found at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA in Encini-tas.

The YMCA recently an-nounce that Jere and Joyce Oren have given a gift of $50,000 towards the world-re-nowned Skate Park. This park is undergoing a $680,000 cap-ital campaign for rebuilding and renovating this celebrated space, which has developed careers of Tony Hawk, Shaun White, Bucky Lasek and more. The gift the Orens have made will expand and renovate the park’s “Mini-Land” les-son area. This area hosts skaterboarders as young as 3 years old and aids in basic and beginner instruction.

Currently, the lessons are impacted due to popularity and the wood structures suffer from moisture damage from the Pacific Ocean breezes. Jere’s $50,000 gift will not only

honor the years of happiness his own children, Robert and Susan, received during their time at New England YMCA fa-cilities, but will also open the door for skill building, values-based programming and a fun environment for this com-munity to enjoy for years to come.

The Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA Skate Park receives over 19,000 annual visits from youth, teen and adult skat-ers, lesson participants and special events.

Jere and Joyce are active YMCA members, enjoying swimming, fitness and volunteering. While at this YMCA, he is reminded of the past memories he and his family members have had staying active in the organization. To honor his family members and celebrate the core values the YMCA stands for, Jere has become one of the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA’s most loyal and generous donors also giving substantial gifts to the building of the Aquatic Cen-ter, Preschool expansion, Financial Assistance programs and more.

Jere has stated, “The YMCA is critical to this communi-ty because it is the one place where all children and adults can come and gain life-changing experiences. It is truly a mecca for all people, regardless of their different back-grounds.”

After moving to Rancho Santa Fe in 1979, Jere quickly became an integral community member and philanthropist. He also generously supports local hospitals, his church and other nonprofit organizations.

R. Roger Rowe School, assisted by Stu-dent Council Officers, kicked off its Com-munity Service Learning (CSL) Acts of Kindness program by launching “Rachel’s Challenge Week.” Rachel Joy Scott was the first person killed in the Columbine High School tragedy on April 20, 1999. Immedi-ately after the tragedy, her father Darrell began to speak and use writings and draw-ings from Rachel’s diaries to illustrate the need for a kinder, more compassionate nation. Today, Darrell and over 30 pre-senters honor Rachel’s life by reaching the nation with Ra-chel’s simple but profound message.

Last year, the school began its Rachel’s Challenge part-nership with an initial presentation by the Rachel’s Chal-lenge Team. This inspirational message and our need to help out students become aware of the world around them, led to the development of an entirely new Community Ser-vice Learning Program.

According to Assistant Principal Paul Coco, in charge of leading this program, Rachel’s Challenge Week incorporated age-appropriate student assemblies, special student activi-

The International Bipolar Foundation recently welcomed three new members to its board of directors: Sandy Redman from Rancho Santa Fe, Wendy Abramson from the D.C. area, and Marc Kullman from New Orleans.

Sandy Redman is a banker and a philanthropist, who is passionate about children, education and the arts. A resident of Rancho Santa Fe, Redman devotes much of her time to various charities throughout San Diego. Redman has a BS de-gree in finance from the University of Edinburgh. She has three grown children and five grandchildren.

For the past five years Redman has been actively helping a young family member grapple with a litany of behavioral symptoms, but who was never been formally diagnosed with bipolar. She has experienced first-hand the devastation and toll it took on her family.

“Finding the International Bipolar Foundation has opened our eyes that we are not alone; there is help and sup-port. My hope is to become further educated about mental illness and reach out to others so they know there is somewhere to turn for help and not be in the situation my family has been in for so long.”

In addition to serving on the board of the International Bipolar Foundation, Redman is a board member of The Old Globe and Kids Korps, and is an ardent supporter of the Pa-trons of the Prado, Epilepsy Foundation San Diego, the Arc and Country Friends.

“I’m very concerned about the education system and how much is being taken from the children and what it will do to the next generation as we remove teachers, art and mu-sic from the schools.”

Her personal philosophy is: “Live every day as though it’s your last; surround yourself with good people, and remove the things from your life that are not positive.”

In addition to Redman making a significant personal contribution to these organiza-tions, she is also able to support them on a corporate level with her position as the Senior Vice President/San Diego Private Banking Group Manager for California Bank & Trust, the largest community bank in San Diego.

Wendy Abramson is a public health professional with over 25 years of experience in international and domestic public health. She has provided leadership and management of multi-country teams in developing countries in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Eastern Eu-rope.

F. Marc Kullman is a founding director of the National Bipolar Foundation. He holds a bachelor of science degree in hotel, restaurant, and tourism administration. He served as president of National Clothing Liquidators for over 12 years. He is a Mayoral Appointee, serving as Chairman of the Delgado College Commission, re-appointed by four consecutive city administrations, in New Orleans, La.

International Bipolar Foundation is a not-for-profit located in San Diego with a pres-ence in over 25 countries. The mission of IBPF is to eliminate bipolar disorder through the advancement of research; to promote and enhance care & support services; and to erase as-sociated stigma through public education. If you would like to get involved or get more in-formation, please contact Ashley: [email protected].

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

BY CLAIRE HARLINFor the busy family that’s con-

sumed with work, kids and maybe even kids’ kids, one of the most dreadful things to encounter is putting an elderly loved one into a nursing home or trying to decide what kind of healthcare plan they need for the rest of their years.

This is a common and often crushing predicament that Col-leen Van Horn recognized decades ago, prompting her to start a busi-ness that would lift the burden, which is often fueled by the emo-tional attachment to the loved one and added tasks and stress on the family. In 1997 she opened the doors to Innovative Health-care Consultants, Inc., which as-sists individuals and families in North County and greater San Di-ego with the challenges that come with aging.

Starting with an extensive two- to three-hour interview and evaluation of the client, a team of consultants put together a written report with extensive recommen-dations to fit the individual in need, whether approaching old age or well into it.

“We look at all their reports and what their doctors are saying. We know about their home set-up and what they physically can and cannot do. We know about the disease processes and how things progress or can keep from pro-gressing,” said Van Horn, who worked as a registered nurse for years before starting the company. “Often times we get to know them better than their children know them, and we can make a good plan free of the emotional attachment family members have.”

A client’s long-term health-care plan might consist of a variety of things, such as getting to and from doctor appointments, assist-ed living or scheduling home visits with particular tasks and goals in mind. The plan also seeks to fit the client’s financial flexibility, and deals with legal matters such as trusts and powers of attorney.

“It’s when people need some-one to take control and manage every aspect of their life but also protect them and their indepen-dence,” she said.

Van Horn said getting started

on the right plan early is beneficial in regard to disease progression. In diseases such as dementia, she said, proper care at the onset of memory loss can keep it from pro-gressing as rapidly. She said some conditions can often be reversible when proper nutrition, hygiene and exercise are facilitated by home health aides, which the company coordinates.

“It’s good to not only help the family through the decision-mak-ing, but to have someone in the client’s home to guide them through the process,” she said, adding that even when a spouse is present, caring for a loved one can cause stress and lack of sleep. Of-ten spouses are also battling their own health conditions.

“When adult kids are getting calls from their parents at all times of the day and trying to plan their healthcare and assistance, it’s hard to find the time,” Van Horn said. “For us, that’s what we do. We can get things taken care of in 15 min-utes so you are not having to make calls on your lunch break.”

Van Horn has long had a pas-sion for geriatric care — she’s a

member of a number of profes-sional organizations and has been a go-to speaker at eldercare philan-thropic activities and organization events.

Innovative Healthcare’s staff includes an insurance specialist,

business manager, administrative assistant and several consultants with education levels ranging from undergrad degrees to Ph.D’s.

Going on Now!

Rambla de las Flores. It will take up about 35 by 35 feet and include three towers, a little playhouse, slides and components appropriate for ages 2 through 12. The ground will be padded with wooden bark.

A community build is planned for installing the structure, saving about $5,000. A general contrac-tor will be on hand to ob-serve the build by dads in the Rancho Santa Fe Out-doors Club, likely on a coming Saturday.

“It’s a great way to save some money and a great project for the dads in our community to do,” Slosar said.

The build is not yet scheduled, the Association needs to do some ground leveling and footing work, as well as construct a split rail fence around the site.

When Slosar first started the process of get-ting a playground, she had eyed the Arroyo, the 88 acres of open space the Association owns off Las Colinas. Slosar thought Arroyo was the best solu-tion because it was the only one without zoning issues and “everybody said it couldn’t be done in other locations.”

In November 2011, the board approved the alloca-tion of funds for the equip-ment but did not like the Arroyo as a site and charged the trails and rec-reation committee with finding a more suitable lo-cation.

The committee took a hard look at all the loca-tions that had been deemed impossible in the past, such as Richardson Field and the RSF Field.

“Everyone was work-ing hard to make it hap-pen,” said Slosar, who was

especially complimentary of RSF Association Manager Pete Smith, Director Larry Spitcaufsky and Director Rochelle Putnam. “I can’t say enough good things about the board, I didn’t think they’d be so behind it.”

The RSF ball field spot required the signature of an adjacent homeowner to amend a previous agree-ment and allow the play-ground use. Slosar said it took awhile for Association staff to work with the homeowner to make them feel comfortable with the proposal and that it would not increase traffic as it would draw mainly Cove-nant children.

“I’m really excited,” said Slosar, who has now turned her sights toward running for the Rancho Santa Fe School board. “It makes me feel really good to live in this community.”

funds to renovate, enhance or improve Covenant re-sources or safety.

The policy was in need of an update as it had stated that the fund only be used to acquire land for passive use. However, $15.7 million of the $16.2 million spent on open space has been spent to acquire parcels with active, not passive, use, according to an RSF As-sociation staff report. Most notably is the Osuna Ranch which includes several ac-tive uses, making the pur-chase inconsistent with the policy. Among other active use acquisitions the board has made are the RSF Field, the Dacus property and Rancho Arroyo.

Mark Holmlund, a 15-year Ranch resident, said he commended the board for acknowledging that the pol-icy has rarely been followed in its 28-year existence and is in need of modification.

But Holmlund argued that modified or not, the policy is not needed as property is either too ex-pensive to buy or not avail-able.

“’Covenant Enhance-ment Policy’ suggests that it is nice to have but is not

mission critical,” said Hol-mlund, noting that the pur-chase of Osuna was not an example of the board put-ting its best foot forward.

Resident John Dodds agreed, saying that the Open Space Fund grew so large and the lack of appro-priate parcels resulted in the Association buying the Osu-na Ranch at a “horrific price.”

“I don’t think the board has a fiduciary re-sponsibility to purchase real estate for homeowners,” said Dodds. “Most purchas-es will be active purchases and is this something that you really need to be doing for us? I think not.”

Holmlund said that he would rather see the fund’s use and assessment be put toward the removal of dead and dying eucalyptus trees as he thinks fire mitigation is a much higher priority.

He suggested they could take that $4 million the fund will accrue by the end of the sale of the Osuna house and subsidize 50 per-cent of members’ tree re-moval costs up to a maxi-mum amount. He said not everyone may need trees re-moved but everyone would benefit from increased fire safety.

“The worst case scenar-io for the Covenant is not

that the Ranch will lose its cherished rural ambiance because not enough open space has been preserved, but rather that a wild fire will roar through the Ranch and burn it down,” said Holmlund.

Director Larry Spitcauf-sky said that Holmlund’s suggestions are interesting and the issues that have been brought up are not be-ing ignored, that they are being considered as the As-sociation decides what’s best to do for the commu-nity.

“By clarifying the lan-guage of the policy, it does allow us to take a look at situations like the dead and dying trees,” board presi-dent Roxana Foxx said.

Director Ann Boon said she was in agreement with Holmlund about fire pre-vention being very impor-tant and that the Associa-tion’s CONE (Committee on Natural Environment) group has made it a high priority to address the health of the forest.

“It is our fiduciary re-sponsibility to spend our as-sessment funds wisely and also to protect the Cove-nant and make decisions that uphold and support our communal and individ-ual property values going forward,” Boon said.

paid. RSF Association Chief Financial Officer Steve Comstock said that last

week the finance depart-ment was able to collect on $62,000 of delinquencies so budget revenue is al-ready coming back.

Additionally, the step up in valuation of The Inn

at Rancho Santa Fe was not included in the prop-erty rolls this year so Com-stock said there will be a number of revenue sources arriving that were not bud-geted for.

cation dollars are scarce and must be wisely allocated.

The top two issues are:1. Preserving the sound

fiscal practices that have served the district so well and continuing to imple-ment cost saving measures, district-wide, so that not a single hard-fought educa-tion dollar is wasted.

2. Finding new and creative solutions within current and future budget constraints to avoid pro-gram cuts as well as cham-pioning the addition of in-novative programs which further enhance learning opportunities available to our students.

2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issues in your an-swer for #1 should be ad-dressed by the board?

Our board has already established a solid founda-tion for dealing with the challenging fiscal issues

that we have faced these past four years. We are very conservative with regard to our expenditures, maximiz-ing our dollars in every way that we can while prudently planning for the future. We have been at the cutting edge of community partner-ships, shared-use agree-ments, and conservation programs. We have cost-cutting measures in place in every department in every school. We manage our pre-cious dollars through belt-tightening, streamlining, creativity, and outstanding cooperation among stu-dents, parents and parent organizations, teachers, staff, and school administra-tors.

We must continue with these sound principles to ensure that our district con-tinues on solid financial footing. What we have ac-complished, and will con-tinue to pursue, include:

•Preservation of the General Fund Reserve. In spite of $38 million in cuts and lost revenue to the dis-

DALESSANDROcontinued from page 6

trict over the past five years, our General Fund reserve is currently at $13 million. This has kept, and will con-tinue to keep, our district out of the red;

•Continuation of the budget reduction process that keeps cuts as far away from the classroom as possi-ble, while preserving a full school year and all academic programs;

•Continuation of our focus on improving student achievement, thus preserv-ing our standing as one of the top school districts in the state and in the nation;

•Retention of the best and brightest teaching staff without resorting to massive layoffs.

It is important to both preserve and build on what our community values in our school district. We have been and will continue to be known for high academic performance, fiscal responsi-bility, and incredibly posi-tive working relationships with staff and community.

tion that has been proven to produce achievement and success.

2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board?

1) Fair and adequate state funding is a key issue for the public school system.

Ongoing state budget concerns and under-funded state and federally mandat-ed programs are financial burdens that require our dis-trict continue to be fiscally frugal, keeping money as close to the classroom as possible while continuing to

seek more stable and equita-ble funding. We have con-tinuously worked within budget while striving to pro-vide opportunities for stu-dent achievement. As a cur-rent board member and pre-viously as PTA representa-tive, bringing funding and other issues concerning the education community to the attention of our State Legislators has been an on-going effort.

During these fiscally challenging times we have seen all of our schools make progress, (five have API scores exceeding 900!), but know that there are more gains to be made, with best practices to share and imple-ment among our campuses. Building on the collabora-tive efforts of our school

board, school administra-tors, teachers, staff, parents and our community part-ners so that we can create an ever better school district and a stronger community for all students will be an ongoing effort toward which I commit my district-wide relationships and expe-rience.

2) Maintaining our high levels of achievement while making additional strides in student perfor-mance is an important goal, and a complex issue.

3) Maintaining and de-veloping the cooperative partnership between stu-dents, teachers, parents, and administration that has been proven to produce achievement and success.

issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board?

Unfortunately, squeeze more.

Many of the consul-tants and vendors used by the district have been in place for multiple years. As renewals come up the board must question whether in-ternal resources can be used to avoid additional layoffs, whether other options are available to reduce the cost, and whether the cost is nec-essary. Also, the district must look for and cure ineq-uitable situations. Signifi-

cant cuts have already been made to maintenance and technology support. As a parent in the district, I have seen my kid’s class sizes grow.

To avoid operating at a deficit more cuts will proba-bly be necessary and they will need to come from ar-eas that have not already been hit.

Don’t do long-term bonds for short-term prob-lems.

While there are current long-term capital needs, a bond that will still need to be paid by our children’s children is not the answer. Realistic, right-sized bond initiatives will need to be

developed in order to get taxpayer support.

Keep local money lo-cal.

District staff has indi-cated the annual impact due to the Fair Share agreement is approaching six million. This arrangement impacting all Basic Aid districts in the state was started without it going to a vote by the local boards. Board members are the voice of the taxpayers and the community. Before we give up our “fair share” we have to require we get re-imbursed for our “fair share” of the cost of mandates passed down by the State and Federal government.

Reckless deficit spend-ing.

As a parent of a Torrey Pines High School student and a 20-plus-year resident of the district, my pledge to taxpayers, parents and stu-dents in the San Dieguito Union High School District is to restore fiscal responsi-bility and sanity to a school board that is running up deficits, raising taxes, and generally acting irresponsi-bly in the middle of a crip-pling recession.

I am “For the Chil-dren” — Advocate for stu-dents (and their parents), not beholden to any special interest group.

I will promote the scholastic basics – Teach the fundamentals of world his-tory, American history, Cali-

fornia history, etc. without revisionist, politically-cor-rect, selective influences.

We have great students, teachers and schools…let’s keep tomorrow great by not spending money that the district does not have today.

2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board?

Work within current in-come levels:

Balanced Budget: The current board has shown it cannot even balance its own checkbook. In fiscal 2011-2012, the board ran a deficit of $3.5 million. For fiscal ‘12-’13, it’s projected that the district will be $6 mil-lion in the red. Imagine what this fiscally dysfunctional board will do with $449 mil-lion!

No Tax Increase ($449 M Bond): The San Dieguito Union High School District’s planned $449 million bond offering on the November 2012 ballot is exactly what I stand against: increased tax-es, wasteful use of tax-payer dollars and a disconnect with/disrespect for the very people the board is sworn to represent and act in the best interest of while strapping the next several generations with confiscatory taxation

LEDGERcontinued from page 6

and a monstrous debt. If the bond is passed, it will ham-string schools with obsolete equipment while crippling the district from seeking fresh monetary streams down the road

No New Taxes: The board and district can oper-ate under the parameters of the current revenue stream and not in the red.

Bottom line: We can balance the San Dieguito Union High School District’s budget and keep schools well funded, properly main-tained, technologically up to date, and fully staffed with the current, annual revenue stream.

Students are taught that first impressions are critical, and are even instructed on how to shake hands.

The program is transfor-mative not only for the indi-viduals in the class, but their familes, Bresaz said, because the students can become better role models for their children and other relatives.

“From what I saw, I would say that what they do is amazing, and it’s incredi-bly critical, especially at this time. I wish there were more programs like this available to people because

it works,” Bresaz said.In the coming months,

Bresaz said, Sundance will decide whether to continue the series next year.

Although the first run of the series has concluded, the episodes are available on I-Tunes.

Coleman, the Second Chance executive director, said the program is open to anyone who wants to get a fresh start in life by getting a job. Along with teaching job-seeking and behavioral skills, the program supports its students in a number of ways, such as housing, refer-rals to mental health servic-es and business clothing.

Students must be clean and sober, and willing to undergo random drug test-ing, he said, and be motivat-ed to get back to work. Many of the students have been in jail or had other is-sues in their lives that pre-vented them from holding a steady job.

“We try to remove all of the reasons and excuses. So now it comes down to you. How badly do you want a job?” Coleman said.

tled to have the district cov-er its legal fees, which will add up to more than $100,000, she said.

Prager’s 13-page ruling

noted that the district’s en-vironmental impact report was up to snuff in a number of areas, including wetlands, biological resources and aes-thetics, along with baseline, long-term traffic impacts and direct access ramps.

Chatten-Brown said ei-ther side could appeal the parts of Prager’s ruling that went against it, or the two sides could try to settle of the remaining issues through negotiations.

The Sierra Club’s law-suit isn’t the only legal chal-lenge to the district’s master plan. A similar lawsuit was also filed last year by the cit-ies of Del Mar and Solana Beach and the joint powers authority that manages the San Dieguito River Park.

Earlier this year, it ap-peared the lawsuit by the two cities and the River Park

ties, and a kickoff for school-wide acts of kindness. “We wanted to reinforce and demonstrate how one sim-ple act of kindness can con-tribute to a ‘chain reaction’ of random acts of kindness throughout the campus and community.”

Throughout the year, students will receive chain links for their acts of kind-ness. By the end of the

school year, students earn enough links to create a long chain. This chain will serve to symbolize students’ on-going commitment to treat others with kindness and uphold our Mission, Vi-sion, and Values of being a Caring Community accord-ing to Superintendent, Lin-dy Delaney.

JPA was close to being set-tled, but negotiations later stalled.

“Our board will be meeting in closed session on Tuesday (Oct. 9) to consider the settlement negotiations in light of the recent judge’s decision,” Day said.

Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard said the Sierra Club prevailed on several “major issues” and was optimistic that a settlement could be reached to the Del Mar-Sola-na Beach-JPA lawsuit.

“The effect of the judg-ment is to encourage and open the door for further settlement discussions,” Hilliard said. “Now that cer-tain issues have been decid-ed we can hopefully settle the rest.”

A status conference on the lawsuit is set for Oct. 19, also before Judge Prager, Hilliard said.

The 3rd Annual Amanda Post Me-morial Golf Tournament was held Sept. 24 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in honor of Amanda Post who perished in a terrible multi-car accident on Aug. 9, 2010. Amanda had just graduated with honors from Cathedral Catholic High School and was scheduled to at-tend Cal Poly SLO on a track scholar-ship in the fall of 2010. Amanda was the CIF 800 meter gold medal winner and ran the anchor for the gold medal-winning Cathedral Catholic 4 x 400 meter relay team. She also went to the State Championships in June of 2010. Amanda, her trainer, her assistant train-er, a track teammate, and Amanda’s boyfriend, Derek Thomas, were all re-turning from a high altitude Olympic training camp at Mammouth Moun-tain when she perished in a multi-car accident just south of Bishop, Calif.

Amanda’s family established the Amanda Post Memorial Scholarship Fund administered by the San Diego Foundation to provide scholarships for female student athletes graduating from high schools in San Diego Coun-ty, who have outstanding grades, are entering a four-year university the com-ing fall, and will run competitively for their college NCAA cross country and/or track team each year. The proceeds from the Amanda Post Memorial Golf Tournament goes to provide these scholarships. In just two years, 10 scholarships have already been awarded to outstanding female student-athletes who are running competitively for their universities all across the country.

I cast the very first “No” vote on the $494 million San Dieguito Union High School bond, called Prop. AA and I think you should join me and vote “No” as well.

I was elected to serve on the San Dieguito Union High School board two years ago, on a platform bringing a more business-like approach to our district. While I enjoy serving, I was very sorry that I had to vote “No” on the school bond because I do believe that there are many areas in our school district that need improvement. Unfortunately, this bond is just for too much money, and is trying to be all things to all people.

I would describe this bond as having good intentions from good people, but this bond is trying too hard. The administration of our district wanted votes from everybody so they made sure to put a project at every school. Not every school in our district needs im-provement. $33,900,000 is budgeted just for our newest school, Canyon Crest Academy. If you have seen this campus then you would agree that by any measure it is spectacular. Could it use any improvements? Sure, if we had all the money in the world and did not care if we were burdening our children and our grandchildren with enormous 25-40 years of debt!

The economy is not good, many people owe more on their homes then they are worth, and we already have world-class schools with highly regarded, well-paid teachers for the most part. Our students’ test scores are through the roof. This is not the time to raise taxes. You need to vote No on Proposition AA and send the message for the school admin-istration and board to go back to the drawing table and come up with something we can all afford.

Horizon Prep ‘Art in the Park’


BY KELLEY CARLSON

J ust 100 feet outside The Godfather restaurant, in San Diego’s Kearny Mesa neighborhood, drivers zip along busy

Clairemont Mesa Boulevard en route to work or to shop, day and night; a modern-day suburbia to be sure.

But inside the Italian establishment, it’s as if time has stood still.

Guests are transported back to the “Old World mob” days, in an environment that almost seems secretive with its minimal lighting and candles. The partitioned, plush red booths along the dark-paneled walls in the dining room offer plenty of privacy; there are also centrally located white-and-red clothed tables that can accommodate two or more people.

Casually social patrons may opt for the bar, where they can gather on stools or in booths and chat, or watch various programming on the TV.

At the front of the restaurant, from 6 p.m. to close Thursday through Saturday, pianist Scott Skinner — who has been at The Godfather for 34 years — plays a mix of music and takes requests. When he’s not tickling the ivories, music by Rat Pack members such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin can be heard in the background.

For further proof that time doesn’t change at The Godfather: Its hours of operation have been the same since it opened in 1974.

Though the restaurant is elegant -- made even more obvious by the fact that the waiters wear full tuxes — it’s not pretentious, said Anthony Balistreri, who co-owns the restaurant with his parents, Isidoro and Maria Balistreri. “It’s timeless ... from the menu to the decor to the service,” Anthony Balistreri added.

One of the favored entrees tends to be the Veal Chop, with a port wine demi-glace and porcini mushrooms.

Other signature dishes include the Filet Mignon Alla Godfather, a steak cut of beef that is butterflied with prosciutto, mozzarella, mushrooms, marinara and Barolo wine; Speciale Dello Chef Isidoro, consisting of seasoned and breaded veal stuffed with prosciutto, mozzarella,

tomatoes and onions sautéed and baked in wine and marinara; and Sea Bass prepared in white wine, lemon and butter.

To accompany its food, The Godfather offers a full bar and a wine list with 140 selections, mostly from California and Italy. Champagne and sparkling wine are on hand, as well.

A prix fixe “Dinner for Two” special is available Sunday through Thursday, which includes a choice between two entrees, a zucchini appetizer, an option of soup or salad, pasta, bread and a Sicilian dessert for $39.95.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT When you think of a Gersh-

win tune, like “I Got Rhythm,” you probably think of the tune as being the song. But a song is not a song without lyrics, and George Gershwin’s older brother, Ira, was responsible for some of the best.

“Words By,” a world premiere about Ira Gershwin that opens at North Coast Repertory Theatre Oct. 20, is giving the unsung brother a chance to be heard.

There’s a classic words-and-music story about Mrs. Jerome Kern and Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein at a party where someone says: Mrs. Kern’s husband wrote ‘Ol’ Man River.’ Mrs. Hammerstein cuts in with: “Her husband wrote ‘Dah-dah DEE-dah.’ MY husband wrote ‘Ol’ Man River!’ ”

Ira Gershwin had a gift for making melodies sing. George was the mover and shaker, already a hit-maker at age 20 with “Swanee” (words by Irving Caesar, sung by Al Jolson), but Ira and he became an unbeatable team in 1924, start-ing with “Lady Be Good,” the Broadway musical that introduced Fred and Adele Astaire and “Fasci-natin’ Rhythm.” And they kept at it until George’s untimely death in 1937, at age 38.

Though devastated by the loss of his brother, Ira lived almost 50 years longer, and went on to write with other composers, like Harold Arlen. Remember the film “A Star is Born,” where Judy Garland sings

“The Man That Got Away”? Words by Ira Gershwin.

“Words By” was conceived and written by Joe Vass, a Minne-sota music man who thought it was time for a companion piece to his tribute to George, “The Soul of Gershwin,” which played at the (now-defunct) Coconut Grove Playhouse in Florida. The producer

there, who had worked with NCRT director David Ellenstein, suggest-ed that “Words By” and NCRT might be a perfect match.

What could have been a one-man show turned out to be one man, two singers, and a four-man band, including playwright/pianist Vass.

“Ira talks to the audience and the singers help him tell his story,” Vass said. “And the band, onstage all the time, is a character, too.”

To play that character, Vass as-sembled some well-known local musicians: Gunnar Biggs (Bass), Bob Boss (Guitar), and Duncan Moore (Drums). Ellenstein brought in Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper, a transplanted New Yorker now based in Los Angeles, to play Ira; this is his first appearance at NCRT. His partners in rhyme and music are singer-songwriter Meghan Andrews, another LA-based New Yorker, who gave a con-cert here two years ago, and Lon-don-born actor/singer Andrew Ableson, who has appeared in two previous shows at NCRT.

All three come from musical families: Nick’s mother is an opera singer who also performed Ameri-can Songbook classics; his father is a harpsichordist. Meghan’s parents — a jazz singer and a composer — met as part of Fred Waring’s band. Andrew’s dad was a famous croon-er, known as “the English Tony Bennett.” All three have impres-sive credits, and grew up knowing

and loving Gershwin songs.Probably the best-known,

most-performed Gershwin song is “Summertime,” but Ira did not write that one, though he re-ceived co-credit for the lyrics in “Porgy and Bess” and surely helped refine them. In fact, Du-Bose Heyward, who wrote both the libretto and the novel on which the opera was based, did most of the lyrics, with the excep-tion of “It Ain’t Necessarily So,”

which is all Ira.That still leaves dozens of oth-

er huge hits to consider, like “Strike up the Band,” “The Man I Love,” “’S Wonderful,” “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off” and “Some-one to Watch Over Me.”

If you love words and music, don’t miss “Words By,” a time-trip through the golden age of Ameri-can song. If it’s a hit, it will play all over the country. And you can say you saw and heard it here first.

BY SUSAN DEMAGGIOOn July 10, 1971, Gloria Steinem, along

with other feminist leaders including Betty Friedan, Myrlie Evers, Shirley Chisholm and Bella Abzug, founded the National Women’s Political Caucus and delivered her memora-ble “Address to the Women of America,” which launched the Feminist Movement:

“This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy, visible differences have been the pri-mary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups, and into the cheap labor on which this system still de-pends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen, or those earned. We are really talking about Humanism.”

Today, 41 years later, at age 78, Steinem is still espousing The Movement. She spoke before a crowd of 1,300 on Oct. 10 as the in-augural guest of the Inspiring Minds Speaker Series of the Congregation Beth Am in Car-mel Valley.

At the podium the slim, 5’ 9” American icon attired in black explained why femi-nism is “The Longest Revolution.”

“Reproductive freedom for women around the world would singularly solve most societal and environmental problems,” Steinem insisted. “When somebody tells you the feminist movement is over, today’s young women are not interested in the cause, that’s NOT what the polls show.

“Young women are vitally concerned about class, race, sex, gender roles, work-place issues, domestic violence – all these are linked and tied … and there are no boundar-ies.

“You talk about foreign policy? If there is violence against women in the home, there will be violence in the streets and in that country’s government.” Since 9/11, Steinem said, there have been more women killed by boyfriends and husbands than in 9/11, Iran and Afghanistan combined.

• Born: March 25, 1934; Toledo, Ohio• Parents: Mother, Ruth, Presbyterian of Scottish/German descent; father, Leo, son of Jewish immigrants from Germany/Poland. When Steinem was 3, her mother, then 34, had a “ner-vous breakdown” that left her an in-valid.

Advertorial

Please Vote November 6Greg Gruzdowich

Santa Fe Irrigation DistrictBoard Member Candidate

We need new, fi scally conservative Board members to better control costs at our water district.

Our water rates in the past 5 years (FY2006-FY2011) have increased 94% and keep rising. Greg believes there are enough cost reduction opportunities to operate SFID in a downsized mode, without adversely impacting the mission of SFID to provide reliable delivery of quality water to its customers.

Greg has the background and experience to take on the task, as he has a Chemical Engineering degree from MIT and an MBA from Stanford, along with business experience in both the role of CFO and CEO.

To set an example of the need to control costs, Greg will decline remuneration for attending meetings and will decline “free” healthcare benefi ts (approximate $16,000 cost), which all Board members are currently taking.

Please join us in supporting Greg by voting for him in the November 6 Elections.

BY KELLEY CARLSONPam Ferris has been with Seacrest

Village Retirement Communities for more than 20 years, and she’s not showing any signs of slowing down.

First and foremost, the 54-year-old serves as the nonprofit’s president and chief executive officer. She “oversees all corporate functions and sets the strate-gic direction of the organization consis-tent with its vision, mission and core values; and formulates — in conjunc-tion with the board of trustees — the current and long-range plans and objec-tives, and represents the organization in relations with cus-tomers, stakeholders and the community at large.”

In other words, “I am accountable for everything that goes on at our two Seacrest Village campuses (in Encinitas and Rancho Bernardo),” Ferris explained.

In addition, she is a licensed nursing home and licensed assisted living administrator, and is currently secretary of the national Association of Jewish Aging Services. Ferris has served on the San Diego board of the California Association of Healthcare Facilities, and has chaired national conferenc-es on aging in San Diego and Las Vegas.

The local resident is also called upon as an expert wit-ness in many cases where the elderly are concerned.

“My goal is to make sure that my staff and I do every-thing possible to provide for the safety and dignity of those within our communities,” she said. “I want our residents to enjoy their lives and to feel as fulfilled as possible at every age and stage. We have tremendous goals and we work very hard to accomplish them, always keeping our residents at the forefront of everything we do.”

Ferris didn’t initially set out to work in the field of ag-ing. After she earned a bachelor’s degree in recreational ther-apy from Southern Illinois University in 1979, she worked for a year in a psychiatric unit, until she moved to Califor-

nia in 1981. Shortly after her arrival in San Diego, Ferris opt-ed to return to school, at San Diego State University.

While in grad school, she completed a social work in-ternship at the San Diego Hebrew Home on 54th Street.

During the internship, it was suggested to Ferris that she might consider entering the field of nursing home ad-ministration.

“I hadn’t thought about nursing home administration as a career,” she said, although she had grown up around a nursing home owned by several family members and was very comfortable around seniors.

Ferris acknowledged that she felt very fortunate to spend a lot of time with both sets of her grandparents since they lived in her hometown -- something not seen often in today’s society.

In 1983, Ferris obtained her master’s degree in social work, with an emphasis on gerontology, and immediately went to work as an associate administrator at a 300-bed nursing home in San Diego.

Then, in 1989, she began working as administrator of the 54th Street Hebrew Home, where she had spent time do-ing her internship. San Diego Hebrew Homes, now known as Seacrest Village Retirement Communities, is a nonprofit senior housing and health care organization that serves the community in the Jewish tradition.

A year after beginning her work there as administrator, Ferris was relocated to the Encinitas campus to serve as ad-ministrator of that community, which was still under con-struction, and was shortly thereafter promoted to vice presi-dent of operations. She became president and CEO in 2000.

During her time at Seacrest Village, Ferris has played a strong role in the growth of the organization, which has in-cluded the initial development and expansion of its 10-acre campus in Encinitas, and the opening of its skilled nursing facility in 1990. She was also involved in the 1996 sale of the 54th Street site and acquisition of the Rancho Bernardo facility; the establishment of the 49-apartment assisted liv-ing residence and Mel’s Place Coffeehouse in 1998; the

memory care wing with 26 units in 2007; and, just last year, the addition of a 30-unit independent living facility and a vitality center that includes a multipurpose room, two pools, a fitness center and a massage room. Ferris noted that the vitality center was recently certified as a North County site for the Arthritis Foundation.

In addition, she has welcomed many groups and orga-nizations to meet in the Encinitas campus’s new community space, which can accommodate up to 350 people. With the increased activity on campus, additional parking is going to become a pressing need, Ferris noted. She explained that the nonprofit has a 1.8-acre site just north of the facility, and though this use has yet to be determined, additional parking is expected to be included in the plans.

Furthermore, under Ferris’ leadership, Seacrest Village has been recognized as a top place to work by Society for Human Resource Management and the San Diego Business Journal on numerous occasions, with 300 employees on the two campuses. And over the years, it has expanded to offer several levels of care, from independent and assisted living to Alzheimer’s/dementia and skilled nursing/rehabilitation/long-term care.

“The beauty of a place like Seacrest is that people do have different options,” she said. “We try to accommodate needs as needs change.

“The whole idea is that when people come to a retire-ment community like ours, they will be surprised and blown away by what we have,” Ferris added.

However, seniors are waiting too long to move in to such facilities, she said.

“They’re missing the active years in an active communi-ty,” Ferris explained. “Sometimes when they come in, it’s too late. They’re still vibrant ... but a little frail.”

She noted that people are living longer — the fastest-growing demographic in the country is age 80 and older, she added — but they are exhausting their resources and not planning as well for the future. Fears exist of possible Medi-

Seacrest Village Retirement Communities CEO focuses on being ‘proactive rather than reactive’•Organization’s goals include trying to make sure residents feel as “fulfi lled as possible at every age and stage”

Hypericum perforatum

This medicinal plant has reputation in both the herbal and homeopathic worlds. The homeopathic preparation has pain relief properties specifi c for the nerves in the ends of the fi ngers and toes from injury as well as injury

specifi c to the tailbone area. It is a fi rst order remedy with Arnica Montana for pain after dental work. The story with this plant gets more engaging

when we look at its traditional use for melancholia. Extracts made from the fl owers with their famous red dots are suggested by trained practitioners and referred to in this context as St. Johns Wort. An oil maceration of the fl owers is one of the best natural wound healers as well as soothing to say the least.

For most teenagers, the beginning of another school year marks the end of summer and is not a day many look forward to with eagerness. Members of Friends of San Pasqual Academy made starting school fun for the 150 foster teens of San Pasqual Academy with their “Back-To-School” event, held on the campus of San Pasqual Academy. The foster stu-dents affectionately call this event “Shop’Til You Drop Day.”

Upon entering the auditorium, each student was greeted by many Friends of Pasqual Academy volunteers and given a shopping bag. The students began their “Shopping Spree.” Each student was given a gift card from Target that will be used towards purchasing school supplies. Road Runner Sports, for the ninth consecutive year, donated 175 pairs of brand new athletic shoes. The students enjoyed picking out their quality shoes that had been selected by Michael and Fiona Gotfredson, owners of Road Runner Sports. The stu-dents loved selecting many of these products to take back to their dorm room.

Teri Summerhays, board member of Friends of San Pasqual Academy, collected hun-dreds of school supply items through the efforts of both Solana Santa Fe School, National Charity League members and many other generous individuals. Brand new notebooks, pencils, pens, paper, folders, markers, rulers, protractors, calculators and other supplies were distributed to the delighted students. The Rotary Club of Escondido collected over 100 backpacks for the foster teens. Friends of San Pasqual Academy purchased athletic shorts for each student. Larry and Nina Williams donated suits that the boys greatly appreciated. Car-ol Tager purchased many interesting books and others donated clothing to the foster teens. It was amazing to witness the enthusiasm of each student that selected items necessary for the school year. They certainly will be well-prepared, due to the efforts of many donors!

According to Kathy Lathrum, board member of Friends of San Pasqual Academy, “We want to thank the many wonderful individuals, Road Runner Sports, National Charity League members and Solana Santa Fe School for making this event so successful and mem-orable for all our foster teens. These kids, for the most part, do not have anyone purchasing school supplies or clothing items for them to begin the school year. We do this for our own children and it is great to see so many caring people do this same thing for these wonderful foster teens.” According to Teri Summerhays, “It was overwhelming to see the quantity of items donated out of kindness and generosity to students of San Pasqual Academy. These foster teens are always so amazed of the caring and support they receive from this commu-nity and want to convey their sincere feeling of gratitude and say ‘thank you’ for caring so much about them. They really do feel our support and appreciate the time and effort of all our volunteers. We certainly made this school year begin with an event they will remem-ber. Thank you for making this such a success!”

A bevy of Hollywood stars walked the red carpet Thursday night, Sept. 27, at the Museum of Con-

temporary Art in La Jolla for the San Diego Film Festival’s tribute to film-maker Gus Van Sant (“Milk,” “To Die For,” “My Own Private Idaho”). Rancho Santa Fe-based Mantooth Films execu-tives Dale Strack, Tonya Mantooth and Patti Judd were among the driving forces behind the fi lm festival.

Following a VIP cocktail reception on the museum’s oceanfront patio, at-tendees gathered in Sherwood Auditori-um where San Diego Film Foundation board chairman Dale Strack, actress Di-ane Ladd (mother of Laura Dern) and Pennie Lane, the inspiration behind the Cameron Crowe film “Almost Famous,” praised Van Sant’s body of work.

The audience was then treated to a montage featuring clips from Van Sant’s film catalogue, followed by the premiere of a trailer for his upcoming film, “Promised Land” (Matt Damon, Frances McDormand) and a screening of his 1997 drama, “Good Will Hunt-ing.”

Actors Robin Williams and Ben Af-fleck provided videotaped words of praise for Van Sant, and artist Erik Wahl painted the filmmaker’s portrait live, on stage.

The SDFF ran Sept. 26-30 with screenings split between La Jolla and The Gaslamp.

BY RAY LIN, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTHFew events may be as life-changing as a

diagnosis of cancer. Yet thousands of people hear such news every day. In fact, accord-ing to the National Cancer Institute, more than 40 percent of men and women born today will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lives. For people living with cancer, the challenges may not only be physical, but emotional as well.

After the initial shock wears off, pa-tients may have a variety of reactions. Some may feel overwhelmed by fear, while others may be angry or even deny that the diagno-sis is correct. Anxiety is often accompanied by feelings of helplessness, vulnerability or depression, all of which can greatly affect a patient’s quality of life. Moreover, anxiety can also interfere with sleep and lead to problems such as headaches, fatigue and loss of appetite — all of which can make a cancer patient feel worse. In some cases, professional help from a therapist or coun-selor may be needed to help manage anxi-ety. Cancer support groups and partnering with a cancer survivor may also help pa-tients understand that they are not alone in their fight against cancer and that they can win.

Similarly, cancer patients may have spiritual struggles, especially if they have strong religious beliefs. Some patients may put their faith in God to determine their fate, while others may feel angry or be-trayed. Spiritual beliefs also may affect treat-ment decisions. For many patients, strong spiritual beliefs may make it easier to cope and help alleviate anxiety.

Many cancer patients experience anxi-

ety about the physical effects of treatment. The most common side effects result from the three primary procedures: surgery, radia-tion therapy and chemotherapy.

Fortunately, cancer treatments are im-proving every day, and as a result fewer pa-tients experience severe side effects today versus a decade or two ago.

For example, surgery to remove a tu-mor once may have required a large inci-sion and a hospital stay. Now, the surgery might be accomplished through minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopically or even in a robotically assisted procedure, all of which result in less pain, bleeding and scarring, as well as a faster recovery time.

Radiation therapy has also improved in the last few years. Newer machines allow treatment to be administered in a more tar-geted manner, preserving more of the healthy surrounding tissue. Some patients may be able to complete their treatments in a matter of days rather than a matter of weeks.

Many of the most common chemother-apy side effects are related to eating, such as dry mouth, changes in taste, loss of appe-tite, and difficulty chewing or swallowing. Digestive side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation.

The typical side effects of radiation are skin redness and fatigue. Other side effects depend on where the tumor is located in the body. If you are receiving radiation treatment for stomach cancer for example, you may experience diarrhea and nausea.

Because chemotherapy can lower blood cell counts, patients may experience bleed-ing or clotting problems, as well as anemia.

To Your Health: The many faces of a cancer diagnosisPatients may experience temporary hair loss during treatment, as well as hormonal im-balances. Some patients also experience “chemo brain” — mental confusion and problems with concentration and memory.

However, newer, targeted chemothera-py drugs are less toxic than earlier formulas, and are far better tolerated by patients. Most patients experience only minimal to moder-ate side effects.

Complementary and integrative treat-ments can help with both physical and emotional side effects. Evidence indicates that therapies such as acupuncture, guided meditation, yoga and biofeedback —along with counseling and support groups — can significantly ease the challenges of treat-ment.

In addition, prescription medications may be needed during treatment to address issues such as sleep problems, nausea, anxi-ety or depression. Patients undergoing can-cer treatments should be open with their physicians about their concerns and issues, and not hesitate to ask for help. Far from

indicating weakness, working with a physi-cian to address all side effects during treat-ment is crucial to a patient’s health and quality of life.

Scripps Health will host a free community open house at the new Scripps Radiation Thera-py Center on Saturday, Oct. 6, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Situated on the Torrey Pines Mesa in La Jolla, the Scripps Radiation Therapy Center is located at 10670 John Jay Hopkins Drive, San Diego 92121. Guests can take guided tours of the new facility and learn about its new medical technology, participate in health screenings, at-tend presentations by physicians and enjoy re-freshments and healthy cooking demonstrations. Face painting and balloon art will be available for children. Call 1-800-SCRIPPS for additional details.

Dr. Ray Lin is the medical director for radi-ation oncology at Scripps Clinic and Scripps Green Hospital. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps. For a referral to a Scripps physician, call 1-800-SCRIPPS (1-800-727-4777).

BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Influenza and Senior HealthMillions of people get the flu

each year. For otherwise healthy in-dividuals, it means temporarily feel-ing achy and miserable for seven to 10 days, but then recovering. How-ever, according to the National Cen-ters for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC), flu can be life threaten-ing in older adults and in people of any age with chronic illnesses such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, or kidney disease. Influenza is caused by viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs. Physicians warn that flu is very contagious, and is spread from one per-son to another when a person with the flu coughs or sneez-es. Symptoms can include fever, chills, dry cough, sore throat, and a runny or stuffy nose. In addition, there may be headache, muscle aches and often extreme fatigue. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea can sometimes accompany the flu as well. The American Lung Association says pneumonia is the most serious complication of flu and can be caused by the flu virus or by bacteria that get into the lungs when the body’s defense system is weakened by the virus. Flu can also lead to bronchitis.

Everyone is at risk of exposure to influenza regardless of age or gender. Because everyone is at risk for being infected with the virus and can spread the disease to others, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices sup-ports influenza vaccination for everyone who is at least six months of age and is especially important for those at risk of developing serious complications from flu. Included in this group is individuals 65 years of age and older. Many health care professionals immunize against the flu between Octo-ber and November, although vaccination can be beneficial even beyond December. Flu season typically peaks between December and March, but can peak as late as May. Keep in mind that while the flu shot does not cause side effects in most people, it can cause problems in others. There may be some soreness, redness, or swelling on the arm where the shot is given. Some people may also experience headache or low-grade fever for about a day after vaccination. Because the flu can have such a significant negative impact on the health of seniors, it is strongly recommended that they re-ceive a vaccination each year. The RSF Senior Center will of-fer flu vaccines on Friday, Oct. 19, from 10 a.m. until noon

RSF Senior Scene: Mark your calendars for upcoming programs

while supplies last. If you are a Medicare beneficiary, please bring your Medicare insurance card to receive your vaccine free of charge. The cost of the vaccine for those without Medicare ben-efits will be a $29.99. No res-ervations are required.

La Jolla Music Society opens the Revelle Chamber Mu-sic Series with I Musici di Roma at the MCASD Sherwood Auditorium on Friday, Oct. 26 at 8 p.m. Founded in 1951 and deliberately shaped without a conductor, I Musici di Roma is the oldest continuously active chamber group in It-aly and one of the most respected chamber ensembles in ex-istence today. In the early years, they introduced 18th cen-tury Italian music to the world and made Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons one of the most well known compositions in the entire music repertoire. The New York Times raves that I Musici di Roma achieve “the most delicate nuances of shad-ing, of balance, of phrasing - Never is a note out of place.”

Tickets are $25-$75 and are available through the La Jolla Music Society ticket office, (858) 459-3728 or online at www.LJMS.org.

Connecting with Global Buyers

BY DEBBIE BROADBOOKS, CARDIFF DISTRICT KIDS KORPS CHAPTER CO-LEADEROur Cardiff School District Kids Korps chapter started off the year with something new,

a fundraiser. But not just any fundraiser, this was a bake-sale fundraiser, “Treats for Tanner,”to help support Cardiff second grader Tanner Rico, who has Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy, a devastating, progressive muscle-wasting disorder that slowly robs those affect-ed of their independence and eventually their lives.

Our Kids Korps chapter, in its fourth year, has not done any fundraisers, but knew that Tanner and his family were in need of community support to help them with medical ex-penses not covered by insurance. And community support is what they got! Local business-es VG Donuts and Starbucks in Cardiff happily provided donuts and coffee for the event.

Cardiff Kids Korps members organized the bake sale, supplied home-made baked goods and beverages, and sold the treats to Cardiff Soccer League families at the event, which was held on Sept. 29, at the Cardiff soccer fields (Berkich fields). In fact, many members worked their shift before or after their kids’ soccer games! The Cardiff community was so support-ive. When they heard that our bake sale was for Tanner, they were so generous and even thanked us for doing this for Tanner!

Our “Treats for Tanner” event was a huge success, raising $800. Plus, a generous busi-ness offered to match our earnings, bringing the total to $1,600 to help Tanner and his family. Despite having another child at home with a stomach bug, Tanner’s mom, Traci Rico, made an appearance, telling us, “I cannot even begin to express just how grateful we are to you, and all the Kids Korps families.” She continued to tell us about all the support she feels from the Cardiff community.

It really does take a village to raise a child. Our Cardiff kids expressed how lucky they felt to be a part of this community saying, “We need to do this again for Tanner.”

We certainly feel fortunate to be part of this amazing community. Thank you to our lo-cal businesses, Cardiff soccer league, and all our extended Cardiff community. To learn more about Tanner, go to his website, www.weelittle manrico.com.

issue, Steinem pointed out that around the globe, “men profit from the unpaid, un-derpaid labor of women.” The situation begs a call to action, she said.

“Do not be afraid of conflict. It produces ener-gy,” Steinem said. “(In an unjust situation) you must ask for what you want. Talk to your co-workers to find out what they get paid. Change your job. Bring legal action.”

Steinem challenged those listening to work for the full humanity of both men and women. “If we are honest,” she said, “we’ll ac-knowledge the folly of gen-der labels that suppress us. This masculine dominance/feminine submission busi-ness is not good for any-one.”

To prove her point, Steinem quoted studies that show men who actively par-ticipate in child-rearing, live three years longer than those who relinquish the role to their wives.

“It’s time to change. Time to understand the roots of the tree we can’t see,” she said of the way so-ciety has evolved. “We can challenge what’s out there as the norm with what we do with our votes, our dol-lars. If each of us behaves as if everything we do matters; we can make a difference. I’m a hope-aholic.”

Steinem had parenting advice for the next genera-tion of feminists.

“Some mothers say to me, ‘My daughter doesn’t know who you are!’ I just laugh and say, ‘That’s OK, does she know who SHE is?’

“Listen to your daugh-ters and encourage them to

follow their bliss, to work at a job where the time flies by and they’re happy and fully engaged. The worst thing you can tell them is that girls can be anything they want because that’s a lie! Girls run into boundaries and then think it’s their fault.

“And don’t tell them they can have it all. They can’t. No one can. Your duty is to love and protect your child so she can become who she already is.”

Taking questions from the audience, Steinem was challenged by a young woman who said her non-conformist, multi-cultured background sometimes causes her pain … confu-sion.

Steinem’s response drew a standing ovation.

“You know,” she said, “the most dangerous time for a woman is when she’s just left … when she’s es-caping control … this may be an analogy for our coun-try. We’re no longer a white majority nation, so we’re filled with fear and skepti-cism, we don’t trust our fi-nancial institutions … we’re buying guns, we’re homo-phobic … it’s our time of danger, so maybe we’re es-caping … maybe soon we can all be free!”

In introducing Steinem, event chair Jobi Halper called her a “true icon” be-cause she “advances leader-ship among women, in-spires humanitarian efforts world-wide and is a galva-nizing call to women in the workplace.” Halper said the goal of the Inspiring Minds Speaker Series would be to present outstanding leaders to the community every nine to 12 months with af-fordable tickets that provide access to all San Diegans.

care cuts and changes to Social Security.Ferris said she is proud of the amount

of charitable care that the organization pro-vides on an annual basis because of the fun-draising efforts of Seacrest Village and the Seacrest Foundation boards. In addition, Seacrest Village cares for individuals who without the generosity of the community could not call Seacrest their “home.”

If anyone has questions or concerns re-

garding their aging parents, or if there is a crisis, Ferris emphasized that Seacrest Village can be used as a resource.

“It’s not even about the placement of parents with us,” she said. “We’d rather see people proactive than reactive.”

For the 15th time since its founding in 1978, David-son Commu-nities has been recog-nized for cre-ating the best new homes in San Diego County.

Recently, Arista at The Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe was named San Diego’s best new de-tached com-munity dur-ing ceremo-nies presented by the Building Industry Association (BIA) of San Diego County. This top honor is the latest in a 30-year history of Davidson’s Grand Award winners, which began in 1980 with David-son’s Leucadia Village. Other Grand Award winners for Davidson include Pointe Del Mar, Blackhorse La Jolla, Mt. Woodson, Cielo and Davidson at Santaluz.

Arista at the Crosby was just the most recent new home community to bring design ac-claim to the Del Mar-based homebuilder.

Arista at the Crosby was presented with “Best Community” honors at the 2012 Icon awards, which recognized the best and brightest in the local real estate community. This year’s Icon awards attracted 78 eligible project entries, an increase of 15 percent over last year.

Davidson’s Plan 1 at Arista also won an Icon award for Best Interior Design in the Single Family Homes category, honoring the work of Del Mar-based Design Line Interiors.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by professionals from the building industry who truly understand what it takes to create a project like this,” said Bill Davidson, president of David-son Communities. “Arista’s success is a combination of terrific architecture, highly function-al floor plans, and an interior design that helps our customers visualize how they could live in the space.”

Arista’s three floorplans were designed with a downstairs master living suite and the op-tion for multiple master suites upstairs. Homes range from 2,926 to 3,593 square feet with up to five bedrooms and five baths. Pricing ranges from the high $800,000s.

“Arista really connects with home buyers because these plans are so flexible,” said Da-vidson. “The possibilities for multiple master bedroom suites, upstairs and down, can ac-commodate all kinds of lifestyle preferences including a private office, a returning child, or an elderly parent.”

Located on the 1st fairway of the Crosby National Golf Course, Arista offers resort-style options including table-sized gourmet kitchen islands that range up to 14’ long, with seating for 10. Master suites showcase Davidson’s exclusive “Vintage” fixtures, an exclusive line of bathroom hardware created by Bill Davidson and manufactured in Carlsbad.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 858-356-2473. Information on Davidson Communities is available online at www.davidsoncommuni-

Prudential Cali-fornia Realty an-nounced recently that Clarice Cioe has joined the Rancho Santa Fe office to work with The Mi-chael Taylor Group. A 13-year veteran of the real estate busi-ness, Cioe is profi-cient with residen-tial purchases and sales, investments and mortgage financing.

“Clarice has the work ethic and skill set to be one of our top agents,” says Herb Jo-sepher, manager of Prudential Rancho Santa Fe. “The fact that her knowledge of real es-tate encompasses multiple aspects of the in-dustry affords her clients with a significant advantage.”

Having bought and sold a number of personal investment properties, and built a ranch from the ground up, Cioe offers use-ful insights about how to work with ten-ants, as well as how to estimate a home’s fair market value and potential for renova-tion. “I love sharing what I know to help my clients make the best decision to fit their goals,” says Cioe, “and I love to see the happiness that comes when their transac-tions close successfully.”

Cioe lives on Morgan Run Golf Course

in Rancho Santa Fe with her husband, a li-censed general contractor. Previously a resi-dent of East County San Diego, as well as Newport Beach and the Inland Empire, her detailed understanding of Southern Califor-nia’s housing market is a substantial benefit to anyone interested in relocating.

Before she entered the real estate arena, Cioe worked as a photographer and an irri-gation technician troubleshooting golf course greens for some of the finest courses in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, San Diego and Las Vegas. She credits the experiences for al-lowing her to present her sellers’ homes in the most attractive light possible, and for al-lowing her to offer reliable advice about the nuances of owning golf course properties.

A horse owner and enthusiast, Cioe is uniquely qualified to serve the needs of peo-ple interested in Rancho Santa Fe real estate. As a side hobby she breeds and shows York-shire Terriers with her mother. Cioe is in-volved with The Face Foundation, a non-profit that provides necessary medical care for animals with owners that are unable to afford it. She enjoys surfing and stand up paddle boarding in her spare time and has volunteered for a number of orphanages in Mexico and Nicaragua through her church.

Clarice Cioe can be contacted through Prudential California Realty’s Rancho Santa Fe office, at 619-995-1223, or via email at [email protected].
