“We have bought and sold many homes over the years, and by far our smoothest transaction was with Nicolas and Jena, along with the Jonville Team! Their expert knowledge of the current market condi-tions was invaluable in deciding the sale price of our home. They were extremely professional and impressed us with the speed in which they responded to our every question and need. They are very personable and NICE to work with!! They took on all negotiations in a fair and logical manner, making solid recommendations to us! They were “Game On” from day one and we highly recommend them!!”

ClubS & EVENtS

I love living in San Elijo because I have the best neighbors (who are now friends). They are always there when I need a cup of sugar or some eggs, they are always happy to help when I need a taste-tester. If I ever borrow an ingredient from a neighbor, I take them a little bit of whatever dish needed that missing ingredient. My neighbor Stephanie has been on hand many times with an extra egg, and in return, I take her some cookies or brownies. She has fed my children enchiladas, cupcakes, banana bread (which I will NOT make at our house due to my seriously bad relationship with bananas - more on that another day), and Stephanie never ever brings my plate back empty. If you’re reading this (and I know you are), thanks, Steph!

Ah, the empty plate syndrome. I know that many of you who know me know that I will never return your plate empty. It doesn’t matter if I put one candy bar in it, or make you a whole meal, your plate will be full of love when it leaves my house. My mother would kill me if I ever returned a plate empty. Even miles away, when I tell her what someone brought me, she will say, “And what are you taking back in their plate?” See, in India, if you return a neighbor’s plate without anything on it, they consider it to be rude and ungrateful, and you can expect a frown, a tsk-tsk behind your back, and before you know it, a phone call from your mother or mother-in-law, won-dering why you were so busy that you couldn’t put a note, a gift, a piece of chocolate on the returned plate.

It’s not really about an empty plate at all. It’s not even about food or gifts. It’s not about checks and bal-

Editor’s Corner KAriSHmA SinnoTT

ances either – it’s about reciprocat-ing. And in a neighborhood like San Elijo, where we ask so much of our friends and neighbors, reciprocating

is the one thing that we can do without much effort at all. Next time your child

spends the night at a friend’s house, maybe take the mother a bouquet of flowers. My friend

Nancy never ceases to amaze me that way - I love her daughter as I love my own and never consider it a trial to have her little girl for the night. Still, she shows up the next morning with gorgeous roses that make me smile all week long every time I pass them on the kitchen island.

Reciprocating never has to be a grand gesture -- the smallest one is appreciated. The next time your neighbor watches your daughter for you for an hour while you go to the doctor, write her a note. There is nothing more I love than a thoughtful card. I have so many cards that my friend Debbie has written me over the years. Take a day, maybe two, and give some love back. And if love comes in the form of chocolate, well, the world would be a better place.

New Classes added to raggedy ann and andy’s Preschool Program

New to San Elijo? local residents Come Together to Help new Families

For those of us who have lived here a long time, San Elijo Hills seems to be a world unto itself. We are self-contained for the most part and between neighbors and friends, we really have all we need at our fingertips. However, if you have just moved to San Elijo Hills, finding your footing can be a daunting task. Where do you go to register for soccer? What does it mean to “Opt-In” to the school system? Is there anyone on your street who can share drop-offs and pick-ups? There is! We can help you. Thanks to the efforts of Dianne Lewis, Nancy Schofield, Lisa Kaltenbach and Karishma Sinnott, there is a small com-mittee on hand to help you navigate “The Hills.” Email Karishma at [email protected] for more information.

Tsze-Kung asked, “is there one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one’s life?” The master

said, “is not reciprocity such a word? What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.”

– Confucius

Karishma’s Favor:

i am going to respectfully ask a favor of you

each month, dear reader. This month, i want to hear

from your children as to what their favorite fall tra-

ditions are. Please call or email me, i promise i will

reciprocate :)

what is Eagle Play?Eagle Play is an organized playtime during recess hours that offers safe

and fun physical activities for grades 1-5. Our goal is to create a peaceful playground with organized games such as kickball, dodge ball, tug of war, dance contest, and more. It is designed to improve playground safety and cultivate community fun with a daily physical activity. There is no score-keeping and a variety of activities are implemented to engage as many students as possible throughout the day. Fair play and good sportsmanship is stressed.

Unlike PE, this is also not a mandatory activity. You may or may not engage in Eagle Play but knowing that it is an option can offer a student a comfort, that there is someone to play with.

Once you step into our Eagle Play Zone we all become equal. If you’re having a bad day, leave it on the side lines and join Eagle Play for some fun.

• Everyone can make a friend no matter what they are wearing or how they look.

• All children are allowed to play, no exclusions. • Student & adult interaction in a fun, silly and safe environment.

why Eagle Play is NeededRecess is an essential part of any school day. It’s not only when stu-

dents get exercise and have fun, but develop important skills to navigate through life. Recess is meant to be a break from the classroom, a time to make new friends, get the wiggles out and make believe. In reality recess involves intense competition, bullying and conflicts that carry over into our classrooms. Due to increased school enrollment our playgrounds have become overcrowded, which increases the risk of accidents, bullying, and feeling left out.

Oktoberfest Coming Soon

The most popular event at

San elijo Hills is right around the

corner! German traditions will be

celebrated and

all ages are

certain to have

a great time at

oktoberfest !

Great food,

beer, and

music will be sure to entertain!

be sure to check the website

for additional information on the

date, time and planned activities.

Hope to see you all there!

How You Can Help - Sponsor Needed

eagle Play costs about $7,000 a year for the PTo. We want to gain a

partnership with local businesses to show our children that the whole

community cares about their success. it takes a village to raise our

children.

can help SeeS’ eagle Play, please contact jax at [email protected].

back to School Drive for Straight from the Heart

The San Elijo Hills Women’s Club is holding a Back-To-School Drive to collect school supplies for Straight From The Heart, Inc. (SFTH) in San Marcos (www.straightfromtheheartinc.com). SFTH supports foster families with donations of new items to help supplement the expenses of bringing a new foster child into the family.

You may take your donations to the drop box located in the SEH Visitor Center, which is located in the same building as the Peppertree Hills Café. The following items are needed: backpacks, lunch boxes and thermoses, notebooks, rulers, pens and pencils, anything you would buy for your own children to get them equipped to go back to school this year.

Please think of our local foster families as you shop for your own chil-dren and drop your donations by the next time you stop in the café for a coffee, lunch, or happy hour. The San Elijo Hills Women’s Club is accept-ing donations through the months of August and September.

Please email [email protected] with any questions or to learn more about the San Elijo Hills’ Women’s Club. Thanks in advance for your con-tinued support!

San elijo Kids Korps - Teaching Children the Value of Service

If you sometimes feel like your children haven’t learned the value of giv-ing back, then it’s time to join the San Elijo Chapter of Kids Korps. Kids Korps is a non-profit youth volunteer organization that encourages children from the ages of 5-25 to give back to the community.

Heather Dorny and Kaylani Rapp are two of the mothers that head the San Elijo chapter of Kids Korps. Our children have made 100 sack lunches for Bread of Life, participated in a beach clean up, helped at HeadStart and made blankets for children, among other service projects.

AYSO Region 1505 strives to bring the very best to the players and parents of our Region and community. The summer camp season and pre-season brought international talent to the pitch in San Elijo, giving the players and parents a glimpse into the love that other nations have for this beautiful game.

July and August brought three weeks of soccer skills camps to San Elijo with close to 200 players attending. All three camps were hosted by AYSO Region 1505. In addition to the camps, AYSO Matrix-San Elijo teams were running at full tilt with their training as they get ready for the Presidio league season.

richard gough, Scottish Soccer legend, Visits Matrix bu9 team

Scottish soccer legend, Richard Gough, joined the San Elijo Matrix BU9 team for a training ses-sion and spent over two hours with the boys going over the finer points of the game and sharing stories from his 20-plus-year career. Richard appeared for his coun-try 61 times and Captained Scotland at two World Cups. He also captained the world famous Glasgow Rangers’ soccer team during the Rangers’ nine (years) in a row championship run. Richard enjoyed a long career in soccer and is recognized as one of the “oldest” players ever to score in an English premier league game. In England, Richard played for both Everton and Tottenham Hotspur and is recognized as one of the top Scottish defenders ever to play the game.

The Matrix boys really got a thrill meeting such a renowned player and Richard enjoyed meeting the boys and their parents. It was a great day all around and Richard took time at the end to sign balls, shirts, photos and bags for the boys (and their parents!). Richard strongly believes in the AYSO philosophy on player development and promised the boys that he would be back to coach more practice sessions as the season progresses.

San Elijo Matrix brings Soccer Legends to its players so as to expose them to all that soccer can offer. The meeting with Richard Gough is one that won’t soon be forgotten.

argentinian Diego terry For two weeks this past summer, former San Diego Socker Diego Terry

was passing on his knowledge of soccer to players in Region 1505 during the Mike Hovenic Soccer Camps.

Diego was a member of the Argentinian National Futsal team and he played for the Racing Club de Avellaneda. Racing has been historically considered one of the “big five” clubs of Argentina football; they play in the Primera Division, the top division of the Argentine league system. During his career, Diego also played professionally on Monterrey de La Raza, a professional indoor soccer team from Monterrey, Mexico as well as playing for the San Diego Sockers

Diego brings the very best in the more free-style, fast-paced South American style football to the players.

uK footballers welcomed HereEach summer, Region 1505 brings one week of AYSO Camps to the

local pitch. These camps are provided by UK International Soccer Camps and are staffed with footballers from around the UK. These professional coaches are trained and certified according to AYSO standards.

In addition to providing a quality soccer training experience for the campers, several campers get the unique experience of having one or more coaches stay in their house!

“This is the second time we have hosted a coach for the UK AYSO camp, and it’s been such a fun experience for the whole family. The kids enjoyed learning more about soccer at camp, and then being able to hang out and get to know our coach at home.” – Cara Sundberg, member of AYSO Region 1505 Board.

A true highlight for a few of the UK footballers was enjoying a BBQ with Scottish Legend Richard Gough one evening where they listened to stories of his playing days.

CHriS orlAnDo: CiTY CounCil In June, the City Council created a new community facilities district (CFD) to establish funding for traffic man-agement measures, including the potential develop-ment of an intra-city shuttle system. This pro-active step will help guard against future traffic congestion as San Marcos continues to grow and develop. While

these measures and the shuttle will not likely be needed for at least another decade, the CFD ensures resources will be available to help address traffic concerns in the future, and it requires new projects that may add cars to our streets help pay for solutions to the congestion they may cause.

The CFD only applies to new development and significant redevelop-ment – not existing structures. Additionally, all new and existing single-fam-ily homes will be exempt from the CFD, so it will only affect new projects that add to our existing traffic conditions.

Using a CFD as a funding strategy is necessary because finding resourc-es for local public facilities and services can be difficult, especially in San Marcos. Because San Marcos was largely undeveloped when Proposition 13 was passed, the city’s property tax share has been locked in at the lowest rate in the county since 1978. San Marcos receives just seven cents on every property tax dollar collected. Other cities, as a point of comparison, receive as much as 31 cents on every dollar.

To address this fiscal challenge, San Marcos has utilized CFDs to help finance local public facilities and services like law enforcement, fire, land-scaping, lighting and other community services. A CFD is different than

City Takes Pro-Active Step To Address Future Traffic Concernsa general assessment in that only those who receive a direct benefit from the public facility are required to share in the cost. It’s important to note that not all properties or homes are affected by CFDs. CFDs apply only to new development or to properties that are substantially redeveloped or rehabilitated.

The city’s congestion management CFD was established to help address future traffic concerns through various measures including an intra-city shuttle. The shuttle concept is envisioned to ease anticipated traffic congestion as two major development projects – the San Marcos Creek District and the University District – reach build out. Once built, these two developments will create an identifiable “downtown” in San Marcos, for which a shuttle service could provide a convenient transpor-tation alternative. The service is intended to complement the existing services offered by North County Transit District, connecting with the Sprinter and Breeze bus routes and reaching areas in the city’s core not served by those systems.

The exact timing, route and other details of the shuttle service will be determined when development in the city reaches a level to support such a service. When that time comes, significant public input will be sought to ensure the shuttle meets the needs of San Marcos residents and businesses, or if alternative traffic measures would be more effective.

The goals of the CFD and the shuttle concept are very simple: take steps today to ensure San Marcos has the financial resources to address future congestion, and ensure that future development, which may add cars to our streets, helps share in the cost of easing congestion.

A San Elijo Girl Makes it to the World Series Softball Championships

A San Elijo Girl Takes on the Junior World Golf Championship

emilY SCioSCiA - CeDAr CroSSinG TiAnA TeATAi-AriKi - CArmel

Last month, Emily Scioscia and her softball team made it to the Triple Crown World Series Championships in Reno, Nevada. There were 84 teams in her age group, all of whom played four pool play games. The teams were then seeded into one of three brackets. Emily’s team made it

to the championship game in their bracket, and unfortunately, at this point, lost. However, this is something that Emily should always be proud of because out of 84 teams, hers came in second in its bracket. What an incredible accomplishment for a girl who has just turned 13!

What is even more incredible are the condi-tions under which they played these games. The temperature in Nevada during the tournament was approximately 100 degrees, and these girls played a total of ten games over four days in these weather conditions before they reached

the championship game. Congratulations to Emily and her team! San Elijo Hills is proud of

you!

We know that San Elijo Hills is filled with children who are talented and gifted, and Tiana Teatai-Ariki is most defi-nitely one of them. Tiana will be eight years old in November and can already say that she finished 19th in her age group at the Junior World Golf Championship this year.

At the early age of five, her father Pete recognized that she had excellent hand-eye coordination, focus and ability. She played soccer and tennis and when her older brother decided to stop playing golf, Pete let Tiana play with him. He realized almost immediately that she had natural talent, and soon had her attending Monday golf group lessons at Encinitas Ranch. Tiana worked with coaches Jacqui McSorley and Heidi Richardson when she was in first grade, and along with her father, her coaches have been very instrumental in assisting and training Tiana in the finer nuances of golf.

Tiana was inspired at last year’s Junior World Golf Championships and told her father that this was her goal for the year. After many months of prac-tice, she qualified to play in the tournament this year. At the Junior Worlds in Solana Beach this summer, she played against 57 girls in her age group and came in 19th. Her family is very proud of her, but Tiana says she wants to fin-ish in the top five next year! Her father says that she is a dedicated, disciplined child in all aspects of life. She also loves music and hopes to play a musical instrument soon.

Tiana often plays golf with her dad, who is an excellent golfer himself. Pete says when they play, he gives her a one-stroke advantage and she beats him. Perhaps it’s time for him to take that one stroke advantage himself?

A Chat with Principal McDonell...You Will be SurPriSeD To KnoW WHAT iS AVAilAble To our CHilDren THiS YeAr

I sat down to talk to Mrs. McDonell in early August. We didn’t meet at her office, or even on the school campus because of all the construction that was going on at San Elijo Elementary School. To the residents, it looks like there are going to be many changes at the elementary school, and yet, as I talked to the Principal, I got the sense that even though there will be so many changes, San Elijo Elementary will not only take it all in stride, but also stay very much the same.

Yes, there will be 140 additional students attending our school, bring-ing our grand total up to 1,238 (give or take a few). However, the school is prepared. There will be an extra left turn lane at the school, more parking on Schoolhouse Way, six new teachers, an extra custodian and an extra health aide to add to the already extensive staff.

San Elijo now welcomes Rhonda Michaels (1st grade), Brooke Petruzzelli (1st grade), Christine Dixon (2nd grade), Chrissy Calise and Brooke Green (4th grade co-share), Mary Baker and Tessa Chong (5th grade co-share) to their staff.

Mrs. McDonell wanted to share that even though our resources are dwindling, and the economy is taking a turn, the generosity of the San Elijo parents makes it possible for intervention at all grade levels so that all chil-dren can thrive. As she said, “A rising tide raises all ships” and our children will learn many more things than Science, Math and Language Arts at the school this year. In the spirit of the “whole child” method of teaching, the staff at the elementary school is confident in making sure our children are well prepared to excel in the global world in which we live today.

You will be surprised to know what is available to our children this year:

Music – With an extra percussion program for fourth and fifth graders, thanks to our new drum set. Noisy? Perhaps. Fun? For sure!

Computer Lab – Not only will the children have their technology time, but the staff and PTO are working on a Technology Plan to span over the next two years, incorporating document cameras, projectors and Smart Boards in the classroom. If you can help, or have ideas, please contact Mrs. McDonell ([email protected]).

Eagle Play – Look in Community News for an in-depth article about Jax (aka Bob) and Eagle Play.

STARS – Older students help younger readers achieve success in reading. This was a popular and effective program last year. Thanks to Mrs. Clark for organizing this.

Peace Patrol and Safety Patrol – For fourth and fifth graders who are cho-sen to help keep our campus safe and fun.

SEES News – An innovative, exciting way for the older children to get cre-ative with news-making and sharing.

GATE – The gifted and talented education program for high achievers in fourth and fifth grade.

Scholars – For students who need that extra hand in kindergarten, first and second grade. Parents are invited to come and visit with the fantastic Mrs. Benton (who started the program) and other involved teachers and staff, to learn ways in which to help their children succeed.

Eagle Club – A recess program for students who struggle with social skills. They work under the guidance of a school psychologist for a long term strategy that helps them learn the language that they need to play, mingle and enjoy their time at school without inhibition or fear.

Even though our school is growing by leaps and bounds each year, it seems evident that the staff at San Elijo Elementary is doing everything they can to stay ahead of the wave. San Elijo Elementary has the highest API score of all the schools in the district of San Marcos.

New programs, incentive programs, assistance programs, an active PTO and generous parents make it possible for the school to achieve success and results.

Mrs. McDonell would like parents to know that she is always available for questions, comments, concerns and ideas. Email her, call her, stop her on the black top - she wants to hear from you and will respond in a timely manner.

It’s good to be a child at San Elijo Elementary. As the school grows, the staff is committed to guiding them, helping them, challenging and exciting them. 2011 promises to be a fantastic year at San Elijo Elementary.

What To expect in Fourth Grade

by: milaya Sinnott, Fifth Grader

In fourth grade you can do so many more things than you could do in third grade. One thing you can look forward to is writing a speech and making posters for the student council vice presi-dent and secretary positions. You also can sign up for S.T.A.R.S. where fourth and fifth graders tutor first and second graders who are having trouble reading. In fourth grade you can also sign up for Peace Patrol. A Peace Patrol officer helps people with their troubles at lunch and recess and gives out Eagle Passes (if people deserve them).

If you are a fourth grader, you can look forward to the mission project this year. All fourth graders do a report on a California mission at school. Then at home you complete a project of your choice from different options that your teacher will give you.

You will also learn about the Gold Rush and make a brochure this year, and you get to “pan” for gold. A man will come to your class and act out scenes from the missions and Gold Rush. After he acts out the scenes, you go outside and pan for gold by scooping water and sand up with a pan and swooshing it around to find the gold.

Fourth graders - look forward to the Expert Fair! At the Expert Fair you choose a topic you like and pretend to be an expert on that subject. You make a poster board and answer questions as people visit your classroom.

All the fourth grade experiences will be something to remember.

Dear SEES Families, FunDrAiSinG Corner

Welcome to the 2011/2012 school year at SEES! We are your Co-Presidents of the PTO. Jenny and her family have lived in San Elijo for nine years. She has a son in fourth grade, Jackson, and a son in sixth grade, Ryan. Molly and her family have lived in San Elijo for 6 years and she has a daughter in second grade, Remy, a son in fifth grade, Will, and a son in sev-enth grade, Zander. We have known each other since high school, together attended UCSB and lived in Washington, DC. Our husbands were frater-nity brothers together at UCSB, and two of our kids even share a birthday. Lots of people get us confused and we understand why!

We have an amazing Executive Board this year, with some returning members and many new faces with new ideas. Go to the “Upcoming Events” link on the PTO page of the SEES website for a list of our planned activities and fundraisers for the year. We hope this calendar helps you with your plan-

ning and we remind you that dates and events are always subject to change.We offer our families a varied menu of opportunities to support SEES

students through the PTO. Please choose the fundraisers and activities that suit your family and know that your involvement at any level counts!

The students at SEES have come to love and expect PTO-provided programs. If you have been fortunate enough to attend a fifth grade promo-tion, you have heard many students reflect fondly upon their experiences at SEES. In their speeches, students reference SEES News, Accelerated Reader, music, science, Eagle Play, the Country Fair and more. Creating enriching learning opportunities and fond memories for the students is why we do what we do, and it makes all of our work worth it!

– Molly Corbin and Jenny Orlando

1 San Elijo Middle School will have 1,500 students this year. This includes students from San Elijo Hills, Old Creek Ranch, Discovery, Rancho Carrillo and La Costa Meadows. Even with this large number of students, the class size does not exceed 32 (with certain exceptions, like PE). 62% of the students are White, 21% are Hispanic, 7% are Asian and 4% are African American. 10% of the students have disabilities and are equipped with all the extra attention they need to succeed, including a class that serves physically handicapped children.

2 The school is safe. There are evacuation drills, emergency drills, intruder drills. There is only one way to get in the campus and only one way out. You are required to show a photo ID when you pick up your child early or sick. There is a Supervisor in the Multipurpose room who checks the identification of each parent or any other person that enters the middle school campus.

3 The school can and will challenge your child. There are Honors classes for the children to attend. When your fifth grader leaves the elementary school, the middle school administration confers with their teachers on an individual basis and looks at test scores, STAR test results as well as teacher recommendations before they decide to place a child in the Honors program. The middle school has also been known to send children to the high school for additional, higher level math classes.

4 San Elijo Middle is ranked in the top 10 of all schools in the 42 San Diego County School Districts. In addition, it also currently holds the envi-able title of being a California Distinguished School.

5 The school has an open-door policy for students and parents who have problems, concerns, questions or suggestions. The Principal, Doug Hall and Assistant Principals, Virginia Kim and Gary DeBora, want you to know that they are always available to help you in any way that they can. There is a com-mon misconception that the middle school administration is unapproachable and non-communicative, but that is not the case. The staff would really like residents to feel free to contact them with questions, via email or telephone. Feel free to stop by their office as well.

In addition to the Principal and Assistants, the middle school has many counselors on staff.

Michelle Santiago and Celena Breining are the two counselors that are available to parents and students. Jason Degtyarev is the school psychologist, trained to help you and your children with any issues that may be of concern (all emails available on the school’s website).

Steve and Ann Eggers have long been part of the SEMS family. Their Tutoring Club of San Marcos inspires and supports the students with incen-tives and helps them achieve a balanced academic experience. They can be reached via their website at http://www.tutoringclub.com/sanmarcosca

6 Drugs are not a widespread problem at the middle school. SEMS uses a company called InterQuest, K-9 drug detection dogs to perform random drug tests with their canines at least three times a year. The teachers and students are not told when these tests will be conducted and in the 2010 school year, SEMS passed all drug tests with no drugs found on campus.

7 Children are expected to follow and conform to a “Dress Code”. This is because the staff at the middle school want your children to be “dressed to learn.” They want to take the distraction of short skirts, short shorts, baggy pants, low cut shirts and hats with logos away from the atmosphere of learning at the school.

8 Bullying is an ongoing issue on campus, as it is on every middle school campus in the country. However, the middle school has a very stern policy on bullies and bullying and the staff is working extremely hard to keep this to a minimum. The middle school has a School Resource Officer from the Sheriff ’s Department on hand to help with problems and the staff is currently working with Assistant Principal Gary DeBora who has extensive knowledge and has done much research on this problem. There is a Bully Box and support groups and the Principal and Assistant Principals welcome anonymous phone calls from parents or students to inform them of any instance of bullying on campus or any other concern a parent or community member may have.

9 Parents can always keep in touch with their children’s homework and grades by using the middle school’s Gradebook system. This helps you to always know how your children are doing academically, and gives you the abil-ity to intervene before their grades slip too far. Parents are urged to check the school’s website (sanelijomiddle.org), to keep current on school events and to check their child’s teachers’ websites for homework and resources as well.

10 The middle school now has the Mandarin FLAP program as part of its curriculum. This allows your children to learn the language at no cost to you, the parent. There are currently two levels of Mandarin classes being offered, and children in this program can continue to take the language all the way through high school.

Doug Hall, Gary Debora, Virginia Kim and the rest of the staff at

San elijo middle School would like you to use them as your resource.

They firmly believe that each child is responsible for him or herself,

but that every child will be heard, helped, guided and counseled as

they travel through San elijo middle School. They welcome parents as

partners in the process of bringing the best education possible to your

child. Additionally, San elijo middle School embraces the “whole child”

philosophy and considers not only the academic, but the social, emo-

tional, and physical development milestones that students and parents

deal with in the middle school years.

Middle Schoolby: Priyanka Athalye

Middle school. Mixed feelings. No idea what to do. Well, this happens to all of us. At one point in our lives, we’re going to leave the protective walls of our beloved elementary school, and enter the new world of freedom. For you, this moment is now. Middle school sounds scary, but most of the hor-rific stories you’ve heard about bullying, fights, difficult tests, mean teachers, and lots of homework aren’t true. This chapter in your life will be the most enjoyable so far, and to ensure that, you will need the right information and ideas.

First, probably the most important thing you can ever learn in order to succeed in middle school will be responsibility. You are going to have six dif-ferent classes, with different teachers, who give different assignments every day, and you will be responsible for completing all of these assignments on time and with good grades. Responsibility will also come in handy when organizing notes, remembering which papers to put where, and which notes to study for big tests.

This brings up the second most important skill required for success: organization. Your teachers are going to require you to have a big binder with a section for every class filled with more papers than you know what to do with. You’ll find it helpful to plan your binder and organize your materi-als regularly.

Lastly, you’ll need confidence. You’ll have deadlines, and sometimes dur-ing the year, all your teachers will decide to give you huge projects due on the same day (unknowingly, of course). To complete the projects without pulling all your hair out, you are going to have to pace your time and effort and be confident in your finished work. No matter how well you pace yourself and how fast you work, there will still be nights when you have so much work that you’ll be up until midnight trying to finish everything.

Middle school will throw numerous decisions and countless amounts of homework at you, but they will seem like nothing compared to the fun you’ll be having. There will be DJs and music at lunch, you’ll have an elective to brighten up your day, and you will be free to make many of your own choices. All in all, middle school will be one of the best experiences of your life.

If you thought middle school was fun, be prepared to embark on the most exciting journey of your young life. Many adults, to this day, will admit that high school was one of the best times of their lives. Now, whether this will be true for you or not is to be determined, but one thing’s for sure: it will be an experience like no other.

Freshmen, high school is ready for you even if you feel you’re not ready for it. Don’t even be nervous because in the blink of an eye your high school will be your home sweet home. Even if you start to feel overwhelmed and just want to fake sick so your parents won’t make you go, at the end of the day you’ll always have a special connection to SM… you’ll bleed blue. You might be afraid that you won’t fit in or that all the upperclassmen will judge you, but listen: everyone at San Marcos is so accepting and friendly that you’ll instantly feel like part of our big Knights’ family. There is a club at our school called Link Crew, which is a huge group of upperclassmen specially trained to help freshmen assimilate into their new high school environment. If you have any worries or questions, any one of the Link Crew members would be more than happy to help you out and, essentially, just be your friend. Also, sports really help you adjust to your new school. The friends you make playing school sports will more than likely be some of your closest friends and you’ll really feel like you belong. Even if you don’t play a sport currently, it can’t hurt to try out for something that you’ve secretly always wanted to play, but never had the chance to. You’ll be glad you did, and who

Back to School at SEMSby: Skylar Starrs Siben

It’s September. Summer’s done and school’s just begun at San Elijo Middle School. (SEMS) For all sixth graders who are making the transi-tion from elementary to middle school, these first weeks can be filled with excitement and confusion. I know, for it was a year ago when I was in the same position. Now, I’m in seventh grade and I’ve got some helpful tips on Surviving Sixth Grade.

Get Involved – In sixth grade you can participate in many school activi-ties. A few simple ways:

• Dress up for Spirit Days and wear school colors on Friday• Vote for the ASB leaders• Run for homeroom representative • Go to school dances.

Electives – At the end of fifth grade you picked Band or Expo as your elective. I have advice for kids in each elective. Expo: Always bring your planner because your teacher will check to see if you’ve written your homework down. From my friends who did Expo, I’ve heard particularly great things about the art projects! Band: I’ll be in band again this year! My advice is that if you’re still trying to pick an instrument, experiment with a few. When you find one that you make a good sound on and it feels good to play, that’s the one for you.

I hope your sixth grade year is fun and you learn a lot. Be yourself, open up to new friends and remember, lots of things change in sixth grade but don’t lose yourself in the confusion. I’ll see you at school!

new Vaccination requirement for 2011

All students entering 7-12 grades in public and private school must show proof that they have had a Tdap booster shot before they can start school. This vaccination is easily available at the Sav-On pharmacy right here in San Elijo Hills.

knows, maybe three years down the line you’ll have become so skilled that you get a college scholarship?

Books and teachers and a wide variety of classes will all be thrown at you with brutal force (not literally, of course, no one is going to throw a book at you, I promise). But you’ll learn to handle it; it’ll just take a little getting used to. You might struggle sometimes, you’ll stress out a little bit when you realize it’s late and you still have a fat pile of homework to do, but never give up. Knight Zone tutoring is held in the library most days after school if you’re struggling or just need a little extra guidance. Even if you don’t want any help, Knight Zone tutoring is a nice quiet place to get homework done before practice or before you get picked up or whatever your situation may be. Work hard, college is just around the corner.

High school is more about involvement than anything else, and you’ll be glad you took part in our various school activities. Football games and other sporting events are always a blast to go to and show your school spirit. Our wonderful ASB sets up incredible dances, shows, pep rallies, and lunchtime assemblies that you won’t want to miss. Kids from every group participate, creating a Knight Pride like no other.

The moral of this story is don’t even worry about transitioning into San Marcos High because it’ll be the easiest switch of your life. The four years you’ll spend here will pass by at the speed of light, so be sure to make the most of it and enjoy every second. You’ll make friends and memories that will last a lifetime and you will forever bleed blue.

Mike Middleton is not your traditional pizza shop owner. Now, by that I mean that he didn’t inherit the pizza business from his family. He didn’t train at the Culinary Institute. This wasn’t his first job. In fact, Mike had been in the Consumer and Commercial Finance industry for a long time, in part as a student loan executive. When the market changed and the credit crunch hit, the student loan industry ceased to be a private venture and Mike was left trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his career.

The story of Blackstone Pizza is an interesting one that starts (as most should) with friends and family. Mike enjoyed cooking as a hobby and he and his wife Sheri often entertained family and friends at their home. He experimented with pizza at home, using an old pizza stone in a conventional oven. His family and friends enjoyed his pizzas so much that he found himself using that old pizza stone on many a weekend, as people stopped by to visit and eat. People kept telling Mike that his pizza from the “black stone” was much better than anything they had ever had. And so the name “Blackstone Pizza” came to be. Along with the name came the idea that a novel and interesting pizza shop was perhaps a viable business venture.

Blackstone is probably most well known for their “Street Taco Pizza” – intrigued? What if I told you that it included a homemade salsa verde (instead of the usual tomato sauce base), Mike’s own carnitas, fresh onions, cilantro, queso seco and avocado, along with a delicious red salsa on the side? Hungry yet? Think about an original Hawaiian pizza called “Da Island Style.” That one is Sheri’s favorite. If you like Kalua pig, that’s the one to go for. If you’re feeling the need for meat, try “The Grizzz.” If you think Mike’s names for his pizzas are unusual and original, then you get a sense for what the actual pizza must taste like. If you have trouble deciding on what kind of pizza you want, divide your pizza into four and choose a different style for each quarter. Blackstone also serves fresh salads and sandwiches, and everything is made from scratch with quality ingredients.

Blackstone Pizza is located on Mission Road in San Marcos, just a block away from Mission Hills High School. Mike and Sheri are invested in the community of San Marcos in many ways. They have three members of staff at Blackstone who are recent graduates of Mission Hills High. They also have Cal State San Marcos students on their payroll. They sponsor youth programs – local basketball, soccer, softball teams all boast the Blackstone name on their jerseys. Mike and Sheri donated pizza to Mission Hills High

School on a day when the American Red Cross had set up a blood donation drive at the school. They believe in a symbiotic relationship with our community.

One of my first experiences with Blackstone Pizza was at the San Elijo Elementary School’s Book Fair Lunch. Every year, the Book Fair hosts a lunch for the wonderful teachers at our school. Mike and Sheri Middleton and Blackstone Pizza provided all the food for over 50 people at that lunch. What surprised me most was that they delivered food that was not even on the menu at Blackstone, and was made just for the dietary needs of our teachers. Mike brought the pizza in batch-

es so that the teachers had hot pizza during the span of the two-hour lunch. This brings me back to the whole concept of “reciprocity” that I speak of in the opening editorial this month. The Middletons, who have just started their restaurant a year ago, still find ways to give back to our community, because they feel invested in it, and responsible for it.

If you take a passion for food, throw in the commitment to fresh ingre-dients, add in a good dose of community involvement and toss it with a fam-ily that really cares about giving back, you end up with Blackstone Pizza.

Blackstone Pizza is located at 574 A East Mission Road in San Marcos. You really should eat at the restaurant if you can. If you can’t wait to get there, no worries – they deliver right here to San Elijo. Call (760) 798-2246.

It would seem to most men out there that Ted Semprini has the best job in the world. He is the co-owner of two branches of Players Sports Bar, one in Kearny Mesa, and the other right here “over the hill” in San Marcos.

Ted grew up in Massachusetts and worked with the Sheriff ’s department in Boston. He looked into law enforcement when he moved to San Diego, and to make some extra money, started bar tending. The rest, as they say, is history. Ted started in the restaurant/bar business in 1992, and has stayed there ever since.

The first Players Sports Bar opened in Kearny Mesa in 2002, with 4,500 square feet of space. In 18 months, they expanded twice and doubled their space, so as to fit as many televisions as possible to broadcast just about any type of sport you can imagine. For example, Ted opens his doors to a Scottish soccer group at 4:30am, because that’s the time that the Scottish League games are broadcast. Since California law does not allow them to serve alcohol between the hours of 2-6am, Ted opens the bar at 6:01am, and the fun begins.

Ted says that Players does not try to dazzle you with fancy seafood and steaks. Instead, their focus is on good quality, delicious tasting American bar food. Their buffalo wings are his favorite item on the menu, because he brought the recipe with him from Boston. He also recommends their pizza bread, which is a french roll, cut in half, layered with pizza sauce and cheese. This recipe belongs to the father of Mike Pasulka, Ted’s co-owner in the business.

For all the beer drinkers out there, Players is perhaps as close to Nirvana on earth as you might find. With 30 different types of beer on tap, there is plenty

to choose from. Ted says that they like to focus on local beer, and his favorite is the Ballast Point Ale.

Contrary to what you might think, Players is actually very family friendly, and Ted hopes that you will bring your children to visit him soon. Obviously, being a sports bar, as the night progresses, the environment becomes less family-friendly, but all the way up to 10pm, Players offers a number of items on a children’s menu, and Happy Hour from 2-7pm for the adults.

Being a father and a San Elijo resident, Ted has contributed to the local community as well. He has three boys and sponsors his boys’ sports teams. He also plays on an adult softball and ice hockey team and is active in the San Elijo community. His motto in life is that he tries to treat everyone as a neighbor, and his front door is always open, no matter what time, what day it may be. His long hours can sometimes be a challenge to his family, and Ted says that without the love and support of his wife, Laura, he would never be able to do his job, with the long hours that it takes.

It really is so easy to drive over Twin Oaks Valley Road and stop at Players (in the Ralph’s shopping center), on any day of the week. Stop and ask for Ted Semprini, your neighbor and fellow San Elijo resident.

Players Sports Bar is located at 328 S. Twin Oaks Valley Road, San Marcos CA. (760) 736-4272. Players is also located at 7061 Claremont Mesa Blvd., #213, San Diego, CA. (858) 277-7060.

Paul Murphy has had a long journey that has finally brought him to where he is now. His resume is extensive and complete and spans multiple continents and numerous positions over the 27 years he has been a chef.

Many chefs will tell you that they started at the bottom and made their way to the executive chef position. Paul’s story is much the same. He started in Phoenix, Arizona at a Mexican res-taurant as a dish washer until he made his way up to being a prep cook at that restaurant.

Paul moved to San Diego in 1985 and stayed here for six years, where he worked at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in an apprenticeship program with Mesa College. He spent six months working at each station in the kitchen until he was promoted to the position of personal chef to the owner of the inn.

Over time, Paul worked and traveled – Temecula, Phoenix, New York and France are only some of the places that he called home for short periods of time. His talent didn’t go unnoticed – two Frenchmen (brothers, in fact) opened West Side Grill, a French-American bistro in Pau, at the base of the Pyrenees in France, and asked Paul to join them.

Paul struggled with the language barrier and the culture shock of being in a small city in France, but the restaurant was extremely successful. He learned a lot of French techniques and had the enviable task of traveling through France each weekend, eating at a new restaurant each time.

Learning technique continued for him at Wolfgang Puck’s Postrio in San Francisco, where he made his way up the ladder from line cook to Sous Chef. When the general manager at the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco offered Paul a job, he took it, and was very glad he did.

The day Paul joined the Ritz Carlton, a lady named Elizabeth came on board working at the front desk of the prestigious hotel. He asked her out many times (and many times she refused). Then Paul discovered that Elizabeth lived a few apartment buildings down from him and had to pass his apartment on her walk to work. (From Sous Chef to stalker,) Paul waited in a small doorway for Elizabeth each morning and showed up just in time to share the walk to work. Now, 11 years and two little girls – Meghan and Claire – later, Paul and Elizabeth Murphy, live right here in San Elijo Hills.

You can often see Paul with his girls sharing Saturday breakfast at Peppertree Hills here in San Elijo. He loves their bagel and lox breakfast meal and his girls enjoy the waffles with the fruit bowl. Funny enough, the

executive chef of Humphreys by the Bay is banned from his own home kitchen because his wife says he is too messy.

Humphreys by the Bay is well known for their concert series, but what most people don’t know is that they boast 188 newly remodeled rooms, a fantastic Sunday Brunch and an owner who believes in putting his money back into the hotel. You know those Indigo Girls that played there recently? Well, Paul was the one shopping for their vegan, organic meal at Whole Foods Market.

Paul describes the menu at the restaurant as “Modern Global Cuisine.” His favorite dish on his menu is the grilled Pacific Swordfish over cannellini bean hash with a brown butter sauce. His favorite breakfast item on the Humphrey’s menu is the chicken Florentine sausage scramble with Manchego cheese. For dessert, Paul says that we should try the milk chocolate bon bons. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is!

Paul has agreed to share some of his recipes with us, and hopes that you will all try them. When you next plan your date night, or girls’ night out, make a reservation at Humphreys by the Bay, and know that somewhere in that back kitchen, your neighbor, Paul Murphy, is looking over your food, making sure it’s just right for you.

Dining In with Some Dining Out StyleAlthough I love dining out just as much as any other suburban

foodie (and I frequent San Elijo Town Center establish-ments to support local business), a gourmet restaurant dinner can get quite expensive! These days, as gas prices impact food prices, you might find your family staying in more often to save money, and time, and hassle.

Our family spends a fair amount of cash on food because the simple act of eating is a major part of our household’s social time together. To do so, we don’t indulge in other things such as nights out at the movie theatre or at the local bar (the cost of a babysitter alone can be pretty sub-stantial), and I do my own spa treatments – to this day I’ve yet to experience a salon manicure or pedicure! For many families wine and meat are, to a certain degree, luxury items. Our household is no different – but we have always, regardless of income, set budget priorities to seamlessly accommo-date these delicacies in favor of other supposed “essentials” (did I mention that neither my spouse nor I have a smart phone, tablet or e-reader?). We are far from luddites and think technology can be great, but I prefer a great meal to an almost instantly-obsolete toy or even a second car.

Dining in with some restaurant flair has always been something I’ve aspired to ever since I was a broke student in university. Now that we’re home with a young child, it’s personally important for me to maintain that sense of curiosity and interest in food – since it’s something that we want to instill in our child. Fortunately, there are many ways to up the ante while dining at home.

First, consider your table setting. A good set of dishes can showcase your efforts in the kitchen to great effect. Wonder why chefs use white for their china? It’s because white is a great contrast to whatever’s on the plate – framing your “food picture,” as it were. Since we eat with our eyes – as well as our mouth and nose – it’s important to set the scene to be savored. Your tableware needn’t be white, nor expensive, but you should have pieces that are as appealing as they are durable.

Tablecloths are another easy way to coordinate your dining with your décor for a polished experience. Many are inexpensive and easily washed and dried at home. But if you’re a busy parent that wants to limit the laundry, you can achieve a similar effect with a simple table runner (placed lengthwise on the table) and place mats. These are smaller pops of color that can still be kept clean by laundering with your dish towels. There are even hard designer place mats made of laminated cork that easily wipe clean. Chargers (large decorative plates designed to dress up your dining table) are another great way to keep spills in check. You can find them in wood, metal, ceramic or plastic; placed under a dinner plate or soup dish, they keep linens neat, pre-vent hot plates from damaging your table and create a stylish tablescape.

When trying to capture some relaxing restaurant ambiance at home – think about the perks they offer that you can easily rep-licate. Good music comes to mind – there’s nothing wrong with having some chilled-out tunes softly playing in the background. Decanters for your drinks are another nice touch. And don’t forget how much flowers liven up an atmosphere. Whether you splurge on a fresh bouquet each week, or find a small house plant that can

thrive in the lighting of your eating area, greenery goes a long way towards making a room feel dynamic and inviting.

Finally, when it comes to cooking, figure out what your current lifestyle is and use that to guide your culinary pursuits. When I was first married, my husband and I cooked from scratch frequently. Things changed dramatically when our child was born, up until well past two years of age (takeout Costco pizza slices, anyone?). Now that we’ve gotten some of our cooking mojo back (sadly, none of our previous pre-kid energy), we’re “cheating” a little. If I’m going to do a major dish, that’s saved for the weekends. On weeknights, I’ve gotten a bit addicted to the sauces and starters that Williams-Sonoma fea-tures in-store. They’re anywhere between $8 to $20 a jar, which is definitely not cheap, but when planned out accordingly, we’ll often get five portions (three for dinner, plus two adult next-day lunches) out of it. Sometimes, it’s even more. Again, my husband is a simple man – after work he just wants a good dinner to come home to, and prepared sauces allow me to get through my day while still giving us restaurant-quality meals that don’t rapidly become repetitive. Trader Joe’s and Henry’s also have great packaged world-cuisine selections at a lower price-point. Many supermarkets do as well – I just don’t have the time to deal with huge aisles so I prefer smaller chain retailers. I’m working my way back to preparing sauces on the weekend for weekday use, which is often the cheapest alternative of all – but again, part of being successful in life lay in knowing your existing limitations.

For further gastronomic inspiration, head to the Farmer’s Market at Cal State San Marcos every Wednesday afternoon – each week growers from farms both large and small converge to sell what’s in season. It’s a great way to expand the horizons of your cooking repertoire, and find some exotic ingredients that restaurants feature, but mega-retailers don’t. Recent offer-ings were as diverse as yellow watermelon and dandelion greens. Most of the sellers will give out quick preparation tips if you just ask.

No matter where you are in life, it’s always possible to inject a bit of gourmet eatery flavor to your meals at home. The key to making things interesting, and sustaining such creativity, lies in keeping your efforts within your existing budget and skill set. As you gain confidence, challenge yourself to bigger recipes, or theme nights. The best epicures never forget to have fun along the way. Bon appetit!

Keep Your Investment Working Hard – All Year LongOn September 5, we observe Labor Day, which is dedicated to the social

and economic achievements of American workers. Of course, if you’re like most people, work is essential to your life, both as a means of personal fulfillment and as a necessity for achieving your financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement. But if you’re going to attain those goals, you’ll want your investments to work as hard as you do.

For that to happen, you’ll need to take these steps:

Know your investment objectives. Whether you work in an office, a manufacturing plant or any other venue, your goal is to produce a clearly identifiable result. And the same should be true for the way that you invest. In other words, you should know exactly why you own every single one of your investments — because only then will you have a clear, unified strategy for achieving your desired outcomes.

Keep investing. As a diligent worker, you show up to work every day because you know that this type of consistency is necessary for suc-cess. A similar principle applies to your investing “career.” By investing steadily, year in and year out, you have a much better chance of reaching your objectives than if you were to take periodic breaks. Of course, when the financial markets are volatile, it can be tempting to take a “timeout,” but this stop-and-start approach can lead to missed opportunities. For example, if you jump out of the market when it’s down, you might miss out on the early stages of the next rally.

Build a productive portfolio. Generally speaking, the most industrious workers are also the most productive ones. And just as productivity is an asset in the working world, it’s important in the investment world as well. Strive to own a mix of investments in a balanced portfolio, based on your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals.

Develop your investment skills. To truly be a good worker, you need a set of skills, such as initiative, the ability to make decisions, and the willingness to work on a team. However, throughout the course of your career, you may also need to add new technical proficiencies so that you can stay on top of developments in your field and maintain your productivity. As an investor, you also need some “core competencies,” such as patience, discipline and the ability to prior-itize goals. However, you also need to stay current on financial products, the economy, the markets and changes in tax- and investment-related laws. To help expand your knowledge base and receive timely guidance, you may want to work with a financial professional.

Labor Day comes just once a year. But by keeping your investments working hard 365 days a year, you can keep making progress towards the lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

What’s In Your Glass Tonight?When you are standing in the wine aisle at the store, do you feel like

you have that “deer in the headlights” look as you search for a great bottle of wine to serve with dinner? You are not alone. First we wonder, do I want red, or white and what style of either? Here are a few tips to help steer you in the right direction.

Now, before we begin, we are not going to go into American vs. European wine labels, as that would take many articles to describe the differences between each. What makes reading an American label a bit less confusing is that the wine is named after the varietal, that is, the type of grape from which it was produced. An example of America’s top selling white wine grape varietal is Chardonnay. There are many different styles a winemaker can produce in a Chardonnay. They range from heavy bodied, buttery and oak aromas, to medium bodied with tropical fruit and light oak aro-mas. Chardonnay pairs perfectly with medium cheeses such as Havarti and Gouda, and it is an excellent wine to pair with a light cream-based chicken and pasta dish.

Sauvignon Blanc is another popular white wine that is enjoyed for its grassy, fruity flavors and a nice level of acidity. This is a perfect food-pairing wine as the acidity in the wine brings out the best in the foods that you are pairing it with such as grilled fish or mild cheeses such as Mozzarella.

When you want to venture into the world of red wine, the king of reds is the grape varietal known as Cabernet Sauvignon. Dishes with bold flavors such as beef dishes are the perfect pairings with a heavy-bodied Cabernet because it has a nice level of tannins to bring out the flavors in your beef dishes. You can feel the tannins in your mouth by the dry sensation that it

leaves on its finish.If you desire a red wine that is not as bold as

the Cabernet, you can try a Pinot Noir. This delicate grape is more time consuming and expensive for the winemaker to grow, but it is worth it if it is done well. Pinot Noir can be light to medium bodied and pairs well with pork, light beef dishes, dark chocolate and medium cheeses such as goat cheese.

The bottom line about wine is that if you like it, then it is a good wine! Everyone’s palate is differ-

ent, just like a fingerprint. Trust your instincts and your palate. I encourage everyone to taste several styles of wines in order to learn more about them. So, for your dinner tonight, grab your favorite varietal, or be adventurous and try something new and enjoy your venture into the world of wine.

If you would like to learn more about different varietals of wine, I encourage you to visit my website, www.UncorkTheBottle.com, and host a fun in-home/in-office wine tasting. Salute!

bY TK SmiTH, reSiDenT oF SAn elijo HillS, WWW.HereSWHATiDo.Com

When I was a kid, going out to dinner at a restaurant was a treat. It was something we did maybe once or twice a month – usually

to celebrate a special occasion, like a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or something like that. We got to enjoy some good service, good food and the company of our family.

Well times sure have changed in many ways. First of all, I think we all eat out more often, but even more importantly, it’s usually not to celebrate an occasion, but simply out of convenience. There was a point where my family used to eat out 3-4 times a week and I’d say it was mostly out of convenience.

If you are eating out 1 or 2 times per month, you may have some wiggle room, but when you eat out mul-tiple times per week, it is even more important to pay attention to what you order.

The most important thing you need to know is this – most restaurants are in the business of making money, not making you healthy. So keeping this in mind could really help you out. If you want to eat as healthy as you can in a restaurant, you really have to take on the responsibility yourself.

Besides saying a small prayer and eating a little something healthy before you go out (so you are not as hungry when you get there), here are some of the tips I use when going out to eat:

the eney meeny miny moe - It all starts with picking the right place to eat. By making the right choice of restaurants, you open up more options once you are in the restaurant. Ideally, finding a restaurant that serves fresh, locally grown, organic food is the best option. But if that is not an option, stay away from places you know have a lot of fried foods and pick ones that you feel at least have some healthy choices.

the menutranslatenator - Okay, obviously I’ve been watching too much “Phineas and Ferb,” but that Dr. Doofenshmirtz has got some awesome lines. So, let’s say you could not find a healthy restaurant and you ended up in a chain restaurant or something along those lines. No problem, you will just need to translate the menu. Stay away from words like fried, breaded, battered, buttered, gravy, creamy, saucy...and, for heaven’s sake, please stay away from words like big, large, grande, hearty, huge and ginormous. Stick with things like fresh, seasonal, light and steamed.

the rico suave - So you could not find anything seasonal, fresh and light on the menu? Well, you may need to move to the “the rico suave tip” (formally

known as “be a pain in the butt” tip, but it went through a name change, for obvious reasons). It is about charming your server. They are there to make you happy, so you will give them a nice big fat tip. So they should be open to any questions about how their food is prepared. But be nice about it, you don’t want them spitting in your food because you are being a pain in the butt (not that that ever happens). Anyway, I would not nit-pick about everything, just see if they can slightly alter or substitute some of the bad for good. Usually, all restaurants will have some sort of seasonal vegetables (if they don’t, go back to the “eney meeny miny moe” and start over). And, I am sure they will substitute your greasy fries or fatty saucy side dish that

comes with what you are eyeballing with some steamed fresh veggies or a side salad.

the chop su·ey (CHäp ‘ooē) - Still no luck? Well, maybe just go for “the chop suey.” Nope, not the dish, but the karate chop method. If you are with someone, order something close to being healthy and just split it. Or order it split and take the other half home or just leave it there (better there than on your hips or stomach or butt or wherever you carry your fat reserves). Sometimes we will order a side of steamed veggies and another dish and

then just split the two dishes. Either way, you are cutting the bad in half.

the vegas baby - Don’t want to share? I see how it is! OK, so they say when you go to Vegas you can be whoever you want to be. So, pretend you’re in Vegas, pretend you’re a vegetarian. Most restaurants will have at least one vegetarian dish and that will most likely be a healthier option than the others. At least you are cutting significant caloric intake and animal fats by ordering in this fashion.

the when harry met sally – OK, you’re a tough cookie. Still have not found anything? If all else fails, I go with what I call “the when harry met sally” – order a salad, but with the dressing on the side. Generally, salads should be healthy, but restaurants can take something healthy like a salad and destroy the calories, sodium, fat and sugar content through the dressing. So just order it on the side and dip your fork for some flavor now and then. You shouldn’t use even a fraction of what they bring you.

Final tips, stay away from the bread and appetizers and order unsweet-ened tea or water to drink. And, if you need dessert, fresh fruit is a great option.
