Story poles for Gateway Project go up

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Story poles have been erected at the gas station located on La Flecha in Rancho Santa Fe to help depict the potential Gateway Project.

The developer of this project, Enrique Landa, of LandRock Development LLC is a resident of Rancho Santa Fe and is proposing to redevelop the area into a mixed-use retail and office building locale.

The Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC) has reviewed the project planned for the current gas station site during its July 26 and Aug. 9 meetings.

Robert Green, who serves as the building commissioner at the Rancho Santa Fe Association, provided a presentation regarding the RSF Gateway Project. According to Green, the project will encompass a two-story building, covering 27,017 square-feet of both office and retail space on both levels. Designs reveal that the lower level will have 13,836 square-feet as opposed to the top floor with 13,181.

Also in the design are plans for a 5,000 square-foot market.

Green went on to explain that the plans also included a total of three TURN TO GATEWAY ON 16

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE) is raising awareness regarding Rancho Santa Fe’s declining forestry. At an Aug. 4 Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting, Bill Beckman, the chairman of CONE and one of its original founders, provided a comprehensive presentation to the board and its members.

Beckman explained that the reason for being at the meeting was to present the general health of the community’s current forest and future outlook.

“We have a visible problem in the Covenant today and it’s especially evident in the Western and Central parts of the Covenant where you can see that our forest is clearly threatened and diminishing. It’s very, very evident,” he said.

Twenty years from now, Beckman said people living in the Ranch are going to say one of two things: “They’re either going to say we could have and should have done something to save our forest, or they’re going to say thank goodness they did take action and made the effort to save our forest,” he said.

Beckman pointed out that what the community does today will have a pro-

found effect in the future.

He went on to say that the two most significant issues at hand were removing the dead and dying trees in Rancho Santa Fe and then planting new trees which would thrive as they move into the next 50 years in order to maintain the overall beauty and health of the community’s forest.

“The one thing that I want to emphasize here is that the problem will not correct itself. It’s up to us,” Beckman said. “The problem will get worse if we don’t take action and make it better.”

Beckman shared that the positive experience and unique appeal for residents and visitors is Rancho Santa Fe’s healthy forest. Another major impact of a healthy forest in the community, Beckman said, is the safety of the properties.

“The threat of a major fire in our community is gravely increased if we have thousands of dead trees standing in the air.

That’s not to say that the dead trees increase the probability of a fire, which they don’t, but if there is a fire, it’ll spread faster,” Beckman said.

Beckman shared that there was also an environmental component to a healthy forest such as shade, reduction in water evaporation and more.

Another level of importance mentioned was how a healthy forest affected property values.

“Studies on a national basis showed that homes in an area with mature and TURN TO TREES ON 16

RSF Association agrees to online bill payment service

By Christina Macone-Greene the name, the member ID,

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Association board of directors unanimously agreed that an online bill payment service and paperless billing was a good option to offer to its members.

Leading the discussion on the item was the Association’s controller, Matthew Ditonto.

Ditonto described the service much like a PayPal account but they would team up with a company called BankServ that would partner with the Association’s accounting software.

“Literally, it is just a bank account that sits up there in the cloud on the Internet and you now have the opportunity to send us money via ACH or e-checks,” Ditonto said.

Members who choose to take part in this would set up an account using their banking information.

Access to Association invoices would be available, he said, and a member can pay that invoice amount.

According to Ditonto, a member could be anywhere in the world and still have the ability to pay their bill online.

“We would get a report every day showing what money has been sent to our account. It shows

and the amount of money,” he said, noting how this information could be uploaded into their accounting system.

Board member and treasurer, Janet Danola, was in favor of this new approach.

Ditonto said he would like to get as many members as possible interested in paperless billing.

Currently, staff members are printing out invoices, stuffing envelopes and mailing them off. Offering paperless could also save time in house.

This was something that Ditonto wanted to roll out as soon as possible.

Communications manager for the Association, Christy Whalen, confirmed that an e-blast regarding the new paperless billing and online bill payment services could be sent as well as providing a FAQ on the website.

Board member Mike Licosati mentioned his preference in having an invoice e-mail alert being sent out to members instead of a direct invoice.

He believed it was a preferred method and more secure.

Ditonto agreed with Licosati saying that an email alert for a member invoice would be a better method.

Planned electric vehicle fueling station could end up in Carlsbad

By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — The developer of a proposed electrical vehicle charging station that would be the largest of its kind said he would move the project to Carlsbad if it falls through in Encinitas.

Encinitas-based Corridor Power Inc. first proposed the so-called “gas station” for electric vehicles three years ago, but the project has languished in the planning department, which is recommending the city deny the project when it comes up for approval lat-

er this year.

Corridor’s CEO, Angus Clark, said he is hopeful the city will reverse its stance and they can work toward a positive resolution for the project, which is being proposed on City Hall’s proposed overflow parking lot.

But if the project fails in Encinitas, Clark said the company has targeted Carlsbad as its fallback location.

We want it to work here, we think it’s a great location and we are excited about the possibilities,” Clark said. “But we do have a contingency in place.”

Clark said they haven’t

honed in on a specific location in Carlsbad, but have had discussions with city officials about the project.

The Encinitas Planning Commission is tentatively scheduled to weigh in on the project Sept. 1.

The City Council last heard an update on the project in January and directed staff to continue working with the developer to address the project’s concerns. Several of the members were supportive of the concept, but said they needed clarity on some of the issues that staff had brought up before they could proceed.

Shortly after the meeting however, city staff informed Corridor in a letter dated Feb. 22 that it would be recommending that the city deny the project, based on the following concerns: • The project would eliminate a location being considered for potential housing as part of the housing element • The project might not fit the land-use designation of the property.

• Losing seven parking spaces from the overflow lot to accommodate the convenience lounge could TURN TO CHARGING ON 16

Short-term rental plan too soft, say some council members

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — A new proposal developed by Councilmen Terry Sinnott and Dwight Worden to regulate short-term rentals was deemed too lenient at the Aug. 1 meeting and sent back for refinement.

The conceptual plan called for a tiered regulatory approach that focused on tenants, landlords, rental agents and neighbors as the stakeholders. It identified three problems, each with causes and recommended solutions, and included more than a dozen goals.

The first problem is that short-term vacation renters disrupt neighborhoods with bad behavior that oftentimes results in nuisances, noise, parking and trash impacts.

Worden and Sinnott opined the primary reasons are no economic benefit to behave as a good neighbor and a lack of enforcement.

Their remedies include making people aware of good neighbor behavior and what is expected, tying permits to good tenant behavior and a lack of complaints, and requiring financial penalties for landlords and tenants for bad behavior.

The second identified issue is that the number and frequency of short-

term rentals are changing the “fabric” of residential neighborhoods from solely residential to visitor-serving.

The causes include a zoning code that does not permit vacation rentals that nonetheless have historically been allowed in Del Mar. Additionally, the problems have increased recently because technology has encouraged a substantial increase in the demand, changing what has traditionally been long-term residential housing.

Sinnott and Worden suggested limiting the number and frequency of

short-term rental properties allowed in each zone, spreading them out and enforcing the regulations with stiff penalties.

The city also does not know the extent to which short-term rentals are impacting neighborhoods.

“Anecdotal feedback,” the report states, is used to make regulatory decisions because the city does not collect data or require permits and code enforcement is complaint driven.

Botanic Garden breaks ground on new conservatory

By Tony Cagala

ENCINITAS — “We don’t break ground, we worship ground,” said Julian Duval, president and CEO of the San Diego Botanic Garden just before he and a number of local dignitaries pierced the grounds of the new Dickinson Family Education Conservatory with ceremonial golden shovels.

The Aug. 7 groundbreaking brought the project a step closer to the full realization of a new conservatory on the garden site.

Still, permits needs

to get approved, money needs to be raised and design work needs to happen, but Duval is enthused that they’re making headway.

The conservatory footprint was outlined in chalk to give attendees a sense of the scale of the new 7,400-square foot glass structure.

At the most recent tally of funds made last week, the project has raised $4.7 million of the $5.3 million needed to complete construction.

A brick sale and fund-

raising campaign is underway to make up the remaining amount.

The fact that they’re already 90 percent there in funding, shows great support from the community, Duval explained.

“It points to the fact that we live in an increasingly urbanized world,” Duval said. “Not just locally, but everywhere…it points to the fact that places like the San Diego Botanic Garden become all the more treasured.”

And that people are

hardwired to be a part of the natural world, Duval explained, is a main reason that support for the project is where it is.

The project is in the final stages of receiving a grading permit, according to Rudy Stuber, president of JRS Management and Construction Inc., and project manager.

“We’re estimating a year for construction,” Stuber said.

One of the reasons for the need of the new conservancy is that the property has outgrown their current meeting space.

“We’ve known for a long time that we needed to have a larger meeting space,” Duval said. “The Ecke family building, which is our only indoor space, it holds about 96 people, according to the fire marshal.”

Duval touted the space as one not just for people, but for plants, too.

The conservatory will feature three large hanging chandeliers made of plants, about 18 feet in diameter, and planted wall technology.

“This is what makes this project particularly

unique. Nobody’s ever quite done this before,” Duval said. “So we’re breaking new ground. It makes it a little scary and challenging.”

He compared it to what they did with the Hamilton Children’s Garden, in particular Tony’s Treehouse.

“We pushed the envelope on that, and I think that’s likewise to help enthuse donors to believe we’re going to do a good job on this project,” he added.

Freeing convicts via parole initiative California Focus

By Thomas D. Elias

F

or years, Gov. Jerry Brown could hide behind the fig leaf of a federal court order in turning tens of thousands of convicts loose in a program he called “prison realignment.”

Prisons lost almost onethird of their occupants to county jails and streets all around the state. Most of those released or paroled were so-called “minor” criminals; very few rapists, murderers or armed robbers have won early releases.

This satisfied the courts, which all the way up to the level of the U.S. Supreme Court had upheld an order to reduce prison populations.

Then came the 2014 Proposition 47, which reclassified many previous felonies as misdemeanors carrying far smaller penalties and no “three-strikes” implications. Felony arrests fell to levels unseen in 50 years.

One reason: Thefts below the value of $950 are no longer felonies. Because realignment has caused overcrowding in county jails, most thievery at that level goes unpunished; often perpetrators are not even pursued because of police frustration with the changed rules.

One apparent result — and no, the link has not been proven beyond statistical doubt — is more property crime in many places, while violent crime has remained relatively stable over the last five years.

The increase is official; what’s unproven is the direct cause-and-effect link to Proposition 47.

All this is not enough for Brown, who has a new initiative before voters, on the November ballot as Proposition 57.

This one allows early paroles for legally defined non-violent prisoners in exchange for certain achievements and good behavior.

The governor spent millions

of dollars this spring to qualify his measure, mostly from funds he raised but largely did not spend while winning reelection in 2014.

Brown calls his new measure “straightforward,” saying it will let only judges, and no longer prosecutors, decide which juveniles aged 14 and over to try in adult court. He says it will speed paroles for some nonviolent offenders, while setting up a system of credits allowing inmates earlier releases if they get high school and college degrees while imprisoned, and

nal thinking,” or whether crime rates might increase under this new Brown plan.

A close Brown aide said almost all those covered under the new initiative also could be affected by realignment. “This has a chance of providing a carrot of early release for them,” the aide said. “It won’t work for everyone. But the alternative is a system offering no incentives for people to straighten themselves out.”

Former seminarian Brown couches his measure in moral terms and maintains California “still does

For sure, prosecutors say they’re worried, and not only because this proposition would decrease their authority a bit. “take charge of their lives.”

This measure figures to let loose thousands more inmates atop those already released.

What Brown has never said, but a spokesman admitted to a reporter while the initiative petitions were still circulating (at about $5 per valid voter signature) is that some persons convicted of crimes like assault with a deadly weapon, soliciting murder, elder or child abuse, arson and human trafficking might get speedier paroles.

The disingenuous hype Brown applies to his proposal by saying it would affect only “non-violent prisoners who can change their criminal thinking…” might be similar to the outright lie told for years by the state prison department, which denied for years allowing serious violent criminals into inmate firefighting camps, where there is limited supervision. Of course, when that oft-repeated claim was disproven, Brown said nothing and disciplined no one.

No one knows how state parole panels will ever be sure that any prisoner has “changed their crimi-

not have a durable plan to deal with prison overcrowding.” His initiative could also save many millions in prison costs.

But at what price? Burglaries are up. Car thefts, too. So is shoplifting. Would other crimes rise with a new flow of inmates leaving prisons? No one knows.

For sure, prosecutors say they’re worried, and not only because this proposition would decrease their authority a bit.

In one blog published by the Association of Deputy District Attorneys, prosecutors called the measure a “full-fledged assault on public safety,” claiming it would allow parole boards to ignore sentencing enhancements for prior offenses including rape, torture and murder.

The initiative is billed as a humanitarian measure, just like Proposition 47 was when it passed by almost a 3-2 margin. No one knows whether voters this fall will heed some of that measure’s apparent results.

We love ‘em to death Today’s 10 highest grossing box office releases are about animals, including: “Finding Dory,” “The Jungle Book,” “Zootopia,” “The Secret Life of Pets,” and “Kung Fu Panda.”

Nearly half of our households include a dog and nearly 40 percent have a cat. Two thirds of us view them as family members and cherish them accordingly. We love our animals to death.

Literally... For every cat, dog, or other animal that we love and cherish, we put 500 through months of caging, crowding, deprivation, mutilation, and starvation, before we take their very lives, cut their dead bodies into little pieces, and shove those into our mouths. And that doesn’t even include Dory and billions of her little friends, because we haven’t figured out how to count individual aquatic animals that we grind up for human or animal feed.

The good news is that we have a choice every time we visit a restaurant or grocery store. We can choose live foods — yellow and green vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, grains, as well as a rich variety of grain and nut-based meats and dairy products. Or, we can choose dead animals, their body parts, and other products of their abuse.

What will it be?

tial of a train vs. human incident occurring daily.

I, myself working as a train crew member have witnessed four deaths at crossings during my railroad career and there is nothing in the world I would ever want to experience again as of that walk I had to take from the locomotive back to the point of impact of those accidents and to witness and hear the crying of the survivors or of their dead or injured family members.

However, I do see responsibility on the railroads and of the city to protect the public’s access to this beautiful ocean view location. There are a number of solutions that would cost money and at the same time diminish the ocean view somewhat, and they are: 1.) Create designated pedestrian crossings with signage at various locations, 8th Street for example being one.

2.) Require the engineer to blow his horn at intervals even though I suspect there is a ban on blowing the engineer’s horn at the Del Mar road crossings.

3.) A reduced speed zone in this mile section of track and 4.) fencing of the track, which would be costly and would diminish the view.

During all my of railroad career I was told as a matter of fact that the railroads were here before the roads, which is basically true, but in this case the ocean was here before the railroads and the public has the right as much as the railroads to be in that narrow area.

I would offer my services free of charge to help find a solution to this serious problem if a committee would be formed to find a workable solution other than the threat of a costly fine to the public.

Richard Olson, San Diego ‘Pedestrian’ rage Before our recent wonderful trip to the West Coast, we were warned of the high rate of road rage.

What we didn’t expect was pedestrian rage.

Last week, returning from San Diego, while making a right turn (on green), we nearly struck a couple darting out from behind a utility pole. I didn’t see them, but came to a stop. The man lost it and began ranting, banging on the hood, and pointing to the green walk sign.

After reviewing traffic/pedestrian rules on line I found some helpful suggestions: 1. Never assume motorists see pedestrians, especially at night 2. Pedestrians should be aware that motorists turning right might not see you if you’re on the same side, so look carefully before crossing, even if you have a walk signal.

3. Usually the rule is whoever enters intersection first has the right of way. (We entered at same time).

The last thing you want on your tombstone is, “The walk sign was green!” My guess is my righteous pedestrian friend is going to be more cautious in the future. For that, you’re welcome! I would suggest I the future to not bang on a car, you never know who has a gun (I didn’t).

Oh, one other public service suggestion — motorcyclists, if you plan on biking in the Deep South, please don’t try to lane split. I have a bike so don’t get me wrong. It’s for your own safety, ‘cause they wouldn’t take too kindly to it!

Jaffe settles in as superintendent

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — As parents and students are readying for the first day of school Aug. 29 at R. Roger Rowe, new superintendent David Jaffe has officially taken the reins and is enjoying every minute of it.

Beginning his new position on Aug. 1, Jaffe described his first week as superintendent as the best professional week of his career.

“One of the things I was looking forward to was the opportunity to lead a school district in a small community. I wanted the opportunity to really get to know the families that I serve and get to work with a staff that’s proud of the place that they work,” Jaffe said.

Even though R. Roger Rowe is K-8, Jaffe has noticed how the people in the community have an element of pride likened to a high school.

“Being part of that is really exciting to me,” he said.

Jaffe shared that when overseeing a school and a district, he does so as both an educator and as a parent.

Having two children of his own, Jaffe said he recognizes the challenges in raising children.

“I live it on a daily basis, so any time I meet with a family regardless of what the issue is — I can really put myself into their position,” he said.

With a new school year ahead of Jaffe, his initial goals will be to assess their TURN TO JAFFE ON 16

RSF Association readies to mail ballots

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Following a lengthy process of amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws, Covenant members will have the opportunity to take part in a community vote to voice their choice on whether or not they are in favor of the revisions.

During an Aug. 4 board meeting, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board of directors approved the revisions and now it’s time for registered Covenant voters to make their decision.

According to Fred Wasserman, RSF Association board president and member of the Governance Committee, the revisions were time consuming, taking roughly more than a year to complete. He estimated that everyone taking part in it clocked in about 2,000 hours. To date, the committee has completed its 13th version.

“I want to thank all the people who have been on this committee,” Wasserman said.

Ballots are scheduled to be mailed on Aug. 24 with a return request date of Oct. 5 by 5 p.m.

Members who are entitled to vote had to have registered with the Association

by Aug. 14. For those who missed the timeline, they will be unable to do so.

careful, reviewing previous amendments and minutes from past meetings.

Wasserman went over their process such as sending out an initial packet of changes to members including the articles and bylaws last October, receiving member feedback, hosting a town hall meeting, and updating and posting the documents.

To his knowledge, Wasserman said there was no set of articles or bylaws ever approved by the Association that had so much exposure to members of the community.

“So this was, I think, a very, very good process and the committee learned a lot by doing it. We learned about what the members are concerned about and what they were passionate about,” he said.

Wasserman shared that the original bylaws were passed and filed in 1927. The bylaws were then amended in 1950.

“Apparently, they seemed to work up until 1950, or nobody was paying much attention, or there were no major issues. Since then, we’ve amended the bylaws at least 35 times,” he said.

Wasserman wanted to make it quite clear that the revisions had nothing to do with the assessments methodology, protective Covenant, or even changing the multiple property ownership issue.

RSFA board discusses capitalized costs CONE members

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Two items of discussion at the Aug. 4 Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting pertained to reviewing capitalized costs relating to the Covenant Club and Fiber Optic projects. Board member and treasurer Janet Danola grouped both items together because they were the same type of issue.

The matter was shifting these monies away from currently being deemed as a capitalized cost.

According to Danola, the Association capitalized

around $300,000 of expenses with the Covenant Club project.

“These are more of a R&D (research and development) nature or a feasibility study nature,” she said, adding how it should be written off instead in the financial statements.

In regard to the fiber optics project, about $93,000 of expenses were viewed as more exploratory in nature rather than a benefit and/or asset. Danola said this should be written off, as well.

Board member Mike

Licosati said that doing this for the Covenant Club made sense to him. However, he voiced his concerns doing the same with the fiber optics project with the thought of perhaps the Association may want to sell the network one day.

“So wouldn’t it be a good idea to maybe keep that capitalized because we’re still building out this project and that would be part of that?” Licosati asked.

Danola said from a financial statement standpoint, those early costs for

the fiber optics project were exploring who the Association was going to hire and who they were going to ultimately work with.

“R&D is never capitalized,” she said.

Licosati understood this but still wondered if it should fall under that category.

He did then receive more clarification from Danola who noted the expenses for the fiber optics project moving forward that would fall under as being capitalized, such as advertising costs and more.

Fair board will discuss future of gun shows

DEL MAR — The 22nd District Agricultural Association agreed to discuss the annual gun shows at the Del Mar Fairgrounds following a request at the Aug. 9 meeting from members of Advocates for Gun Safety, a self-described “unincorporated association of concerned community citizens.”

In a letter to the board that governs the stateowned facility, the organization urged directors to address at a future meeting “whether it remains appropriate … to support the gun culture in our nation by serving as a venue for gun shows.”

The letter was signed by 26 local residents, mostly from Del Mar and Solana Beach, who stated they “are not out to take away

anyone’s right to own guns under the Second Amendment.” “(W)e honor and respect the U.S. Constitution,” the letter states. “We are out to help make the U.S. a safer place for our communities and for our children.

“We join with the growing number of Americans who have had enough killing of our own citizens and children at the hands of those who should not have guns: suspected terrorists, the mentally ill and emotionally disturbed citizens, children too young to know better, and those simply bent on criminal conduct.”

According to the letter, which cites various estimates and statistics associated with gun violence, the solution to the growing problem is the “enactment

of reasonable, sensible and proven gun safety regulations.”

“Let’s not continue to use the public resources and assets of … California for encouraging this public health crisis and contributing to the growing number of deaths of innocent Americans, young and old!” the letter states.

“The glorification of guns does not square with the fairgrounds’ opportunity to provide wholesome family entertainment,” Del Mar resident RoseAnn Sharp said during the public comment period. “The glorification of guns and ammunition is not a memory you should promote.”

“Change is inevitable,” Del Mar resident Wayne Dernetz said. “Advocates for Gun Safety believe it is time for another change.

“We believe it is in your best interest as well as the public’s to discontinue allowing the public fairgrounds facilities to be used for the exhibition of guns and firearms,” Dernetz added. “This is your tobacco-industry moment. You will have to choose whether to do what is right for the majority of Americans or continue to serve the interests of the gun industry.”

The fairgrounds receives about $20,000 in rent for each of the four gun shows held there annually.

During the most recent one on July 9, about 20 Advocates for Gun Safety members held a rally for gun violence prevention and in

support of the Safety for All gun control initiative.

Wearing orange T-shirts, participants stood across from the main entrance of the fairgrounds for about two hours waving at passers-by. They held handmade signs and a 1,000-foot tape banner from YellowTapeProject.com, a campaign advocating for responsible gun regulations nationwide.

Director David Watson received no objections at the August meeting when he requested that the issue be placed on a future agenda, possibly in October, which will give staff time to develop a presentation.

Watson said the discussion will be an opportunity to education the public and board members on what is allowed at gun shows.

The effort to ban gun shows at the fairgrounds is not new. Most recently a request was made in 2013 following a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, in which 20 students and six adult staff members were killed.

Most of the approximately 15 speakers at a March meeting that year supported continuing the shows, saying they provide a safe, legal avenue for law-abiding people to purchase protection for their families.

They also cited the economic benefits, including sales tax revenue and money spent by visitors at restaurants and retail shops who come from throughout the county to attend the shows.

Not long after the board president at the time asked his colleagues if they wanted to discuss the request but none did.

focusing on drought, insect affected trees

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — During the Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting on Aug. 4, Bill Beckman, the chairman of the Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE), made a presentation to the board and Covenant members on the topic of dead and dying trees in the Ranch. According to Beckman, the community forest has diminished and continues to be a threat.

While CONE is implementing strategic plans to help matters, they’ve received support from various entities that took part in the presentation offering their viewpoints. Guest speakers included Arnold Keene, field operations manager at the RSF Association, RSF Fire Chief Tony Michel, Mike Bardin, general manager of the Santa Fe Irrigation District, and Laurie Broedling, executive director of Tree San Diego.

Keene started off by saying that he has been involved with the CONE Committee since its 2012 inception.

“I have been fully supportive of their concepts, ideas and goals to manage and protect the Covenant forest,” he said.

Keene noted a decline in the forest and believed that any efforts on behalf of the Covenant forest should be increased to a higher level. He cited that the drought and the insects affecting the Red Gum Eucalyptus trees are a primary concern and are receiving the group’s focus at this time.

According to Keene, they are removing dead and dying trees at the fastest pace they have ever done in years. He described the dead tree removal as aggressive and said that last year’s count was more than 300 trees.

This year, Keene estimates that number of removing dead and dying trees will jump from 400 to 500.

“Additionally, we are replanting trees,” he said. “I wouldn’t say on a one-to-one basis, but we are substantially replanting areas that are appropriate for trees along roadsides.”

Keene said they have supported CONE and will continue with the efforts.

Michel told the board and Covenant members that he has also been involved with the CONE committee since it was first established.

“In the CONE committee, we’ve had opportunities to collaborate with them to help educate the public,” he said. “Our top priority right now in the fire district is the dead and diseased trees.

The majority of those dead and diseased trees, probably about 90 to 95 percent of them are on private property in the Covenant. We need to address that fire hazard.”

Although these trees may be on private property, as far as Michel was concerned it was still a community issue. Michel said continued efforts are needed through the CONE committee and to address this problem and make it a top priority.

According to Michel, they have four inspectors in the area.

“Our arborist and an urban forester have been on the CONE committee. We have just hired an additional forester from San Luis Obispo, who just graduated in forestry to help address this issue,” he said.

Michel said that being partners with CONE have made these efforts a lot easier in regard to public outreach and education.

Like the others, Bardin said that the Santa Fe Irrigation District has been involved with the CONE committee since 2012. Bardin said both he and his staff have attended the meetings hosted by CONE. “We’ve been working with CONE since the beginning and we’re supportive of their efforts,” he said, noting the nexus between water, fire, community and plants.

Bardin said that their piece to the puzzle in regards to water conservation was the landscape transition. Getting the right trees and being water efficient has been the contribution effort from their agency.

Bardin noted that the other important component was that CONE has a longterm perspective that aligns well with the water district.

He believed that outreach and forums raise everybody’s level of awareness about what’s going on with current conditions.

“They’re not easy. But I think it’s been a great start and we fully support what Bill and the committee have been doing,” Bardin said.

Broedling said that Tree San Diego was a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization. She went on to say that their nonprofit exists to help contribute in making the region’s environment and the people in it healthier, safer, and more sustained.

The goal to having a high quality urban forest, she said, was to have the right trees in the right places.

Going car free in North County? A summer that’s been Northbound vince vasquez Could you do it — sell your car and live car free?

Lately, I’ve been contemplating selling my car.

I already take public transit everywhere, and use car sharing services and rentals when I can. But how realistic is it to turn in my keys permanently?

I imagine this would be extraordinarily difficult to do for most people, especially those in our part of San Diego County. How would you bring groceries home? Get to work? Go to a doctor’s appointment?

Having young children or pets also seem like a non-starter.

My attitude towards car ownership has changed

with time. I had always made it a goal to own a sporty, powerful car before I turned 30.

I was blessed to get a great deal on a used car at CarMax at the time, very low miles, with a great financing interest rate. It was a thrill to drive — at least for the first few years. Now it creaks and groans and is showing its age. Owning it feels more progressively like a burden; it deserves an owner with a need for speed.

The status quo of living an auto-centric lifestyle adds up.

According to a 2015 AAA study, ownership costs for an average car that’s driven 15,000 miles a year weigh in at $8,698 annually; this includes gas, maintenance, insurance, fees, taxes, and financing.

I own my car outright, but I’m on the verge of hitting that 100,000-mile mark, when there’s more car parts that have to be replaced.

That’s going to cost me, for a car I don’t use all that much. I’d rather spend more money on home ownership expenses, or saving for a rainy day.

Data also shows that North County is an auto-centric community.

WalkScore.com, a website which evaluates walkability using a series of metrics, ranks most North County cities around 30 to 40 for walkability, on a scale of 0-100. That’s pretty abysmal. The worst average rating goes to Poway (28), and the best to Del Mar (72). My home city of Carlsbad is rated a 30, the second-worst in North County. Shame.

I’m not willing to move — I love my home — and I also love the seclusion, quiet and privacy of suburbia.

I wouldn’t change that. But I aspire to building a community where owning a car is an option, not a necessity, for all residents.

This is especially important with our growing senior population.

North County knows what it needs to do to change our car culture — increase density, foster more mixed use developments, prioritize projects in “smart growth” areas like major transit centers.

Restripe roads for cyclists and introduce traffic calming features to encourage pedestrian flow.

Increase funding for public transit.

Our elected officials are moving the ball slowly in the right direction, but more work needs to get done. We’re not nearly where we should be.

I’m still not decided on whether to ditch my car. It’s probably too early to tell whether I would be happy with the major life change.

Maybe I should take up cycling, to see if that’s a good fit for me? Sounds like the subject for a future column!

Stay tuned.

RSFFPD sending warning letters on dead, dying trees RANCHO SANTA FE — In an effort to protect lives and property, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (fire district) is vigorously working to eliminate hazardous trees within the district and bring properties within compliance of existing fire codes.

Over the last few years, the fire district has seen a dramatic increase in the amount of tree mortality, brought on by prolonged drought, insect infestation, and disease.

These changes have led to an increased fire hazard that threatens homes and communities within the fire district boundaries.

Within the last few months, tree mortality has skyrocketed and the problem in the eucalyptus forest has become very evident.

The fire district is actively inspecting properties within the western part of the fire district.

Historically, the eucalyptus forests created a rural, peaceful setting for those living in Rancho Santa Fe. Unfortunately, these once celebrated trees have now become a fire hazard.

“It is the responsibility of the Fire District to identify and address fire hazards within our communities,” said Tony Michel, fire chief.

“We are working aggressively to mitigate the threat posed by the dead and diseased trees within our Fire District. This effort is paramount for the safety of our communities.”

Approximately 90 percent of the dead or diseased trees are on private property. The fire district is sending out violation notices to all homeowners, property owners, and public areas within the fire district.

This is a priority for the fire district. “Unfortunately, we have property

According to the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, trees such as the one pictured, within 20 feet of roadways or 100 feet of structures, will be required to be removed. Photo courtesy RSFFPD

owners that believe their trees still have a chance for recovery or that their trees are not dead. If a resident receives a violation notice for dead or diseased trees, that tree has been identified as a fire hazard and must be removed. If the property owner fails to remove the dead or diseased tree, the fire district will force abate the fire hazard within the perimeters of the fire code,” said Michel.

“The Fire Prevention Bureau has been sending out abatement notices to residents for these dead and diseased eucalyptus trees,” explained Conor Lenehan, Urban Forester for the fire district. “We are targeting dead, dying and diseased eucalyptus trees that are within 100’ of a structure or within 20feet of a roadway or driveway. We are also encouraging homeowners to remove any additional dead or dis-

eased eucalyptus trees that are beyond these parameters. This will help minimize the fire hazard in the community, and allow safer passage on evacuation routes throughout the fire district.”

Following increased inspections throughout the district, property owners with diseased trees on their land have been notified via mail that the afflicted trees shall be removed. Additionally, property owners with trees that have debris such as peeling bark or dead limbs hanging from them will receive a notice to clean up the trees, thereby reducing the fire hazard and ladder fuels.

The District will first be looking to address those diseased trees that are in close proximity to structures and roadways, and then, where needed, move on to trees further away.

Resources such as potential

tree removal companies and replacement tree suggestions will be available.

Many homeowners within the fire district have already received notice and begun the tree removal process. “We realize there are a lot of trees that need to be removed and it will be very costly to the homeowners,” says Lenehan.

“We know this is a large undertaking and appreciate the community’s cooperation as we strive to minimize potential fire hazards within the district.

If you received a notice from us or not, we would be more than happy to meet with homeowners on their properties and identify dead and dying eucalyptus tree for you.” said Lenehan The fire district will continue making inspections and working with property owners to abate the diseased trees and other hazards. If you have a concern about something that cannot be seen from the public roadway, please contact the fire prevention bureau to make an appointment for an inspection.

For more information regarding tree removal and vegetation management, or if you have questions or concerns regarding a property, please contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at (858) 756-5971.

touched with sadness small talk jean gillette

T

he summer has been washed in sadness.

There should be some comfort from knowing I am feeling what hundreds in our community are feeling, but I would dearly like more.

Sweet Charlotte McCue. As I learned the where and the how of her death, I had to sit down.

The ache just settled in my stomach and heart in a tight knot.

I am prickly with thoughts of her parents and their bright, sharp agony. It may be eased by faith in God and belief that Charlotte sits warmly ensconced beside Him now. But their beautiful girl is gone, and none of us were ready for her going.

As I tried to gather my thoughts, I was struck by all the order in the universe.

The laws of physics are immutable, the speed of sound, the speed of light, the tides of the ocean, all come and go in their preordained time. How then, could a joyous family vacation be so fraught with the unknown.

Eight years of immunizations, trips to the doctor, warm clothes, sunscreen, baths for fevers, sleepless nights, elbow pads, helmets, seat belts, earthquake supplies, fire drills, glow-in-the-dark Halloween costumes, healthy

meals, early bedtimes, and love, did not help.

I will never shake the unrealistic, but pressing, sense that they should have.

I continue to chafe at the inequity that all of us touched by Charlotte’s death can’t, somehow, ease her family’s nightmare.

Perhaps the outpouring of love helps a tiny fraction, but its extraordinary strength should have the power to simply lift that pain from them. We stand willing to take on their suffering, and cannot.

We just want so badly to do something, say the right thing, give the right hug that will somehow make it OK again. Our parents and teachers are not accustomed to doing nothing. They spend the better part of every day in “How can we make this better” mode, looking for creative solutions, tackling problems, looking ahead, all toward a brighter future for our babies.

Forever more, when we see the sun set, the moon rise or the waves wash in, we will remember, ache inside for Charlotte’s family and worry about everyone’s babies just a bit more.

Internet Speeds: How much do you really need?

There are several factors to keep in mind when determining how much Internet speed your household needs At its onset, Internet was relegated to dial-up connections that provided very slow speeds.

Those old enough may recall the times of busy signals and interrupted connections due to shared phone lines.

As technology changed, a broadband connection offered much higher speeds and uninterrupted connections.

Extremely slow connections may be measured in kilobits per second (Kbps), although most speeds are now measured in megabits per second (Mbps).

The higher the number of bytes you are able to download per second, the faster your connection.

In order to fully understand how Internet speeds work, let’s define a few key terms: • Streaming. Content you stream is audio or video data transmitted continuously and refers to the delivery method, not

Cox Solutions store manager, Sandy, is always happy to share tips on internet speeds. Visit the Cox Solution store in Oceanside today at 461 College Blvd., or call (760) 631-0559 for more information on Internet speeds. Courtesy photo

the data itself. Streamed content is not saved anywhere on your device.

• Downloading. When you download a file, whether it be a movie, a song or something else, the item is copied onto your device from another source. This is

typically done over the Internet.

• Uploading. When you upload a file, you are copying it from your device to another location, such as uploading your weekend photos to your social media accounts.

Perhaps you stream, down-

load and upload, maybe you only do one of these.

There are several factors to keep in mind when determining how much Internet speed your household needs, including the number of users, the types of use (basic web browsing, media sharing, streaming content, file downloading, online gaming, video chat, cloud storage, streaming music, etc.), frequency of use and the number of devices in your home.

Keep in mind that even if you live solo, your home may have several devices connected to your home Internet, including mobile devices, TVs, gaming systems, laptops, tablets and other electronics.

Bleau Patrick Bohannan

September 24, 1972 July 2, 2016 In Loving Memory of

Hertha E. Otto

12/31/28 - 8/11/16

Hertha was an amazing mother, sister, daughter and friend.

She was born in Illinois where she grew up on Old Orchard Country Club and worked there for her DAD through her youth. She came

from three generations of family members who worked in the Golfing Industry, her father, Hans Schaller, two brothers Thomas and Frank and two of her nephews also are either golf pro’s or build and maintain golf courses today.

After she married the love of her life Jerry Otto, her high school sweetheart, she had two daughters and enjoyed her many career positions working at Argonne National Laboratories in Hinsdale, Illinois. She worked there until she retired and then traveled the country with her husband for over 20 years

in her retirement.

As a self described tomboy, she loved to play sports, hike, golf and take nature walks. The last five years of her life, after her beloved husband passed away, she became a California Girl and moved to Carlsbad to live by her daughter. There she was able to enjoy the warm winters, love nature, golf year round and take walks on the beach. She had a strong will but a gentle loving heart, she loved people, nature and life.

She will be laid to rest, next to her husband, at Christ Lutheran Cemetery in Orland Park, Illinois on Saturday, August 20.

Bleau was a fun loving man who had a passion for surfing and skateboarding.

When he wasn’t at the beach or skating, he had an artistic eye and loved to sketch.

Bleau always had a smile, and had the ability to make everyone laugh with his quick wit and sense of humor.

Bleau was taken from us too soon - he leaves behind his son Andrew, his parents Kristine and Ron, his siblings Lisa, Ted (Caroline) , and Job. He also leaves behind his Grandmothers, Aunts, Uncles, nephews,nieces cousins and “many brothers from another mother,” and lifelong friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Encinitas Elk’s Lodge, 1393 Windsor Rd, Cardiff, 92007, Saturday, Sept. 10 from 2PM-6PM. Casual dress and flip flops encouraged.

“Bleau boy” forever in our hearts.

A Chilean vacation

Visiting Santiago, Atacama Desert, and Northern Patagonia

hit the road e’louise ondash

C

hile is not on most people’s vacation radar, but the South American country has occupied a line on Kitty Morse’s dream-trip list since she was a grade-schooler in Casablanca, Morocco.

“My geography classes made me dream of exotic locations like Antofagasta, Valparaiso and the Atacama Desert, even though the Sahara dunes were only a day’s drive from my school,” explains the longtime Vista resident. “Besides, I’ve always wanted to see my hometown's namesake in Chile — Valle de Casablanca,” - heart of the country’s wine region.

According to a Chilean tourism organization, nearly 187,000 U.S. residents traveled to Chile in 2015. (Total visitors number about 3.8 million; most are from neighboring South American countries.)

Morse was born in Casablanca of a French mother and British father, and grew up speaking English and French equally. She immigrated to the United States at age 17, and is the author of 11 cookbooks. She was surprised that, during her two-week stay in Chile, “practically every tourist I encountered was a native French speaker. There was hardly a gringo in sight.”

Once Morse decided to go, she cashed in her frequent flier miles, worked with a “delightful” travel agent in Santiago (via the internet), and decided to give Airbnb a try in Santiago.

“I had success on all counts,” she says.

ROOF! ROOF!

Morse’s itinerary included six days in Santiago, four days in the Atacama Desert in the north, and five days in Northern Patagonia in the south.

“I decided to forego the glaciers in Patagonia, since I had seen some in Alaska last year,” she explains. “I flew instead to the Region de Los Lagos Andinos (the Lake Region) and spent a day cruising Lago de Todos Santos, the first in a series of seven lakes that eventually leads to Bariloche, Argentina.”

Photo opportunities were at every turn: the pink flamingos, herds of wild vicuñas, steaming geysers and colorful canyons of the Atacama Desert; the palafitos (homes on stilts) and the Castro market on the island of Chiloe; the spectacular Volcan Osorno (volcano) in the Lake Region; and the two-hour cruise to Peulla at the far end of Todos Santos Lake.

And though Morse has a passion for ethnic foods, she didn’t expect to find gourmet offerings in Chile. Surprisingly, though, she found excellent cuisine in several places.

On the island of Chiloe, “the seafood is outstanding,” she recounts. “And there was mouth-watering Tablao Patagónico loaded with seafood, sausages and cheeses at La Gringa restaurant in Puerto Varas, and salmon ceviche purchased from a food truck kept me happy until it came

Kitty Morse, long-time Vista resident, poses in front of a sand dune in the Atacama Desert. Located in northern Chile, the desert is 600 miles long and covers between 41,000 square miles and 49,000 square miles, depending on where the borders are drawn.

time to take the ferry to the Island of Chiloe.”

And Morse finally visited Valle de Casablanca (Valley of Casablanca, outside Santiago), which had been on her wish list for many years.

“Friends took me to the gorgeous Casas del Bosque winery where I sampled the

famed Carménère wine, which has its origins in the Médoc region of Bordeaux,” she says. “It was thought to be extinct, but was rediscovered in Chile in 1994.”

In the end, Morse’s adventures in Chile were the result of a mix of good planning

and serendipity.

“Sometimes I was traveling by the seat of my pants.

My Morocco tours were much more organized.” (For many years, Morse led groups on sightseeing and culinary tours in Morocco.)

It’s been about three months since Morse’ return to Vista, but she still relives her trip with gusto.

“Northern Patagonia and Atacama Desert still sound so exotic that I can hardly believe I was actually there,” she confesses.

Encinitas to mark Sept.

14 Mickey Moniak day

By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — Encinitas is planning to honor Leucadia’s Mickey Moniak, the first overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft in June, by declaring Sept. 14 Mickey Moniak Day. Moniak, 18, a recent graduate of La Costa Canyon High School, became the first baseball player from Encinitas to be drafted first overall when the Philadelphia Phillies selected him on June 9.

He is currently playing in the minor-league system for the affiliate Gulf Coast League Phillies, where he is batting .310 in 30 games and has had a seven-game and nine-game hitting streak

in his early career.

Mayor Kristin Gaspar said that his city is pulling for him.

“Congratulations to Mickey! He is an impressive baseball player, and we are so proud that our Leucadia star will be joining the big league,” Gaspar said.

“Know that the city of Encinitas will be cheering you on, whoever and wherever you are playing.

We’re excited for you to show the rest of the nation exactly what you’re capable of,” she added.

Moniak’s high school coach Justin Machado praised the star baseball field for his efforts on and TURN TO MONIAK ON 23

he scene was Jorge’s Tequila Factory and there was plenty of tacos and teasing.

Would you expect anything less from a table of baseball-loving teenagers?

Yep, the Encinitas Little League All-Star Juniors team was holding court at Jorge’s, an eatery in downtown Vancouver, Wash. The way the ELL players, coaches and supporters were sharing smiles and salsa, didn’t that bunch see Wednesday’s final score?

ELL fell to Hawaii, 2-1, in 10 innings for the Western Region Juniors title in a heartbreaking thriller.

But a heart mends quickly at 13 and 14 years old.

“You wouldn’t know if they won or lost,’’ ELL coach Chaz Gagne said.

Maybe those ELL players prevailed and we just don’t know it.

If ELL would have defeated Hawaii, it was headed to the national tournament just outside of Detroit.

Instead, look for 14 players to be frolicking in the waves as they let a historic summer sink in like so much suntan lotion.

“I’d say we accomplished exactly what we wanted to,’’ Gagne said.

“We wanted this to be a journey and it was.’’

It took ELL from Escondido to Rancho Cucamonga to Manhattan Beach to an overflowing booth at Jorge’s, with kids clutching

sweet memories and cherished sweat marks around their red hats.

Summer fun?

It’s tough to beat what ELL accomplished in winning the Southern California title, besting nearly 400 teams.

Bummer it’s done?

No doubt.

But with steady manager Bob Buscher and his coaches, John Dulich and Gagne, one loss won’t derail the bond this group formed and shares.

“It was such a great run with these kids,’’ said Gagne, who’s coached some of them since they were 6-year-old soccer players.

This summer was a kick, considering how ELL raced to the Western Region title game.

ELL was one strike away from being eliminated in the semifinals by Arizona before staging an epic rally.

Entering the final in-

ning trailing, 8-5, ELL picked up a run and then Cooper Dulich’s two-out, two-strike, two-run hit tied the score. Then JP Kras drove in Connor Bough with the game-winner and some parents are still huddled behind the snack bar, too nervous to look.”Wow,’’ Gage said. “Down three with two outs? The other team thought it had won the game.’’

It reminded some ELL

watchers of its Houdini act at the district level. ELL’s first tournament was almost its last, down again to its last strike against 4S Ranch.

Then Kai Haseyama drew a walk and was bunted over.

Bough smacked a ball through the infield, with Buscher doing his windmill imitation at third base, waving in Haseyama with the TURN TO ALL STARS ON 23

App helps ball players, coaches fine tune swing

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Taking a cue from 16 Major League Baseball organizations, the Sage Creek freshmen baseball and Carlsbad High School softball teams are going the route of analytics.

The two local clubs are coming off successful seasons — CHS was a DI semifinalist — but they’re not resting during the offseason. Instead, the two have taken up with Diamond Kinetics and its SwingTracker app to improve their hitting.

“We are just a base-

ball, softball company,” said Joey August, business development manager at Diamond Kinetics. “It allows us to dig a lot deeper into the amount of information and the experience we can give the baseball, softball athlete. We always use the line, ‘We can be an inch wide and a mile deep’ with the stuff we do.”

August, who played ball at Stanford and in the New York Mets organization, said the app works through a sensor attached to the knob of a bat, which TURN TO SWING ON 23

ArtWalk offers easy access with ‘Magic Bus’ LEUCADIA — Catch the Magic Bus Aug. 28, to the Leucadia ArtWalk, from 9:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from Encinitas City Hall, for a revival of the original 1980s art event.

The Magic Bus stops every 15 minutes, so hop on and off, as you please.

Two free open air trol-

ley will also be running from 9:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., making a loop beginning at Encinitas City Hall at 505 S. Vulcan Ave. up to Royal Liquor in North Leucadia and heading south on Highway 101.

The event features local juried artists and live art activities including the paint-

ing of a 20-foot-by-30-foot wall at 718 N. Coast Highway 101.

There will be live music at six different locations along Coast Highway 101.

The Euphoria Brass Band will also tour the art walk in true New Orleans style from noon to 2 p.m.

Fe Colonial Revival, which mirrored the Village’s visual ambience. Outdoor courtyards were included in the renderings as well as open green space.

Both CDRC meetings were heavily attended by Covenant members that wanted to learn more about the project as well as addressing their points of view. At this time, community feedback is encouraged.

“We are looking for member input on the project,” said Christy Whalen,

communications manager at the RSF Association.

“Story poles are up at the site and plans are posted at the Association office. We welcome all comments.”

The RSF Association board of directors is scheduled to hear Gateway Project details at their next board meeting slated for Aug. 18 at 9 a.m. The meeting will be held at the Association. According to Association representatives, the project may then move into the preliminary application phase with the CDRC.

plan would move to phase two, with stricter regulations that include higher fines and a decrease in the length and frequency of allowable stays.

The rules would continue up to a fourth phase that banned rentals less than 30 days.

More than two dozen speakers with opinions on both sides of the argument addressed council during the nearly two-hour hearing. Many property owners — at the August meeting, during several others and via emails — say they depend on the rental income and some said they could not afford to live in Del Mar if they were not allowed to rent their properties.

They have all said, however, that they support commonsense regulations.

Neighbors reiterated the negative impacts shortterm renters have on the community.

Council members agreed the proposal should start at the phase-two level, with stricter regulations.

But they are split on overall support for allowing shortterm rentals.

Mayor Sherryl Parks and Worden say they should be prohibited in residential zones. Sinnott and Don Mosier support them citywide, but with regulations, especially since a ban would likely be challenged by the California Coastal Commission.

Al Corti said he ran for council to “make the right

decisions for the community.”

“This is one of the more difficult ones,” he said, noting that he initially supported enforcement according to the city code.

“Every day that we’re vetting the issue I’m learning more,” he said. “I haven’t really changed my position in that regard other than, I’ve been advised, that enforcing it is problematic.

“We have not been enforcing it since 1959, when we became a city, and were not enforcing it today and it’s a problem,” Corti added. “I side with the two positions on the table. My sense is that it’s not going to go down smoothly. We’re going to be challenged. We’re going to be sued. We’re going to be in court … and it’s going to proliferate. So I don’t see that as a good course for the community.”

Sinnott and Worden agreed to refine the plan.

In the meantime, a moratorium banning any new rentals is in effect until November. Council members will likely extend it to continue working on regulations.

During that time a hotline to log complaints will be set up. The city may conduct a survey to garner more input once the improved, stricter plan crafted.

The balance of support on council could also shift as Mosier said he is not seeking re-election in November.

“Who here believes this has been a long time coming,” asked Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar.

She recalled a tour of the garden once with Duval, and when they got to the spot of the new conservatory, she said Duval described the future vision of the space.

“And when Julian says something, I know it’s going to happen. And when he described it, it was almost as though he described how it exists today, only it’s gotten better,” she said.

Duval said they’re shooting for a grand opening of early summer next

year.

“That little ceremonial shovel in the ground was really not even a tip of the iceberg in terms of what we need to get done,” he said.

As to the noise concerns from nearby residents, Duval said they’ve “got it licked.”

All of the PA systems will be focused onto the hillside, Duval said.

“We’ve done the sound testing on that, so we know it’s going to be OK,” he said.

Information on the brick sale fundraiser is available online at sdbgarden.org.

levels of subterranean parking that would provide a total of 138 parking spaces.

He noted that there was a 48-space surplus, compared to Ranch standards.

While the site currently stands on 0.59 acres, Green said, with the approval from the county, the applicant does propose to increase this project site to 0.62 acres.

The architecture was described as Rancho Santa

lecting data on their number and frequency and creating an easy process for recording complaints.

A successful plan would, among other things, ensure Community Plan consistency, control adverse spillover impacts, protect the housing stock, have a viable enforcement and administration process, be cost-neutral to the city and comply with the California Coastal Act. Phase one of the pilot program would not limit the number of current or future vacation rentals but only allow a certain number of occupants per unit based on the number of bedrooms and parking spaces.

There would be a minimum duration of two nights, with a maximum number of stays per month and year.

Adoption of a good-neighbor policy would be mandatory, as would a permit and 24-hour contact information to accept and respond to complaints.

The city would only investigate complaints.

Units that had a certain number of complaints per year would be denied renewals and owners who did not have a permit would be fined.

According to the proposal the regulations would not change unless there were a specified number of complaints quarterly per area. If that happened the

foundation, the Donald C. & Elizabeth M. Dickinson Foundation, contributed $1 million to the project, said she was especially pleased that so many people have supported the efforts to bring this project to fruition.

“We think the addition of the conservatory will not only have educational benefits for the community, but also be a positive source of revenue for the botanical garden,” she added.

The project has taken several years to get going.

healthy trees sell for 20 to 30 percent more than similar houses that do not have mature and healthy trees,” he said.

Beckman wanted members to know that the average sale price for a home in the Covenant last year was around 2.5 million.

Without a healthy forest, he said, the average sale price would be a $500,000 to $750,000 less.

What’s negatively impacted the trees in the western and central portions of the Covenant have been Red Gum lerp psyllid on the Red Gum Eucalyptus trees.

Another factor has been the prolonged drought, he said.

And the drought is predicted to continue.

Beckman shared that CONE, a committee of six people, did have a plan of action. The first

be illegal under city code, as City Hall currently does not have enough parking spaces as provided under city code “Based on these issues, right now we are recommending denial,” Interim planning director Manjeet Ranu said.

Clark said he’s continued to work with the city on some of the key issues, and that the city has agreed to set aside the parking issue and focus on the zone and land-use issues.

The proposed electric vehicle charging station and companion “convenience lounge,” would be the largest of its kind in the country.

Clark says he sees the project as a unique opportunity to build electric vehicle infrastructure along the coast, which could foster other types of businesses, including electric car sharing services.

current status, their academic programs, and then look for ways to grow the school and meet the needs of the kids to best prepare them for the next step in their schooling.

Jaffe also has plans to connect and enhance the relationship among the volunteers at the school.

“What the volunteers do for a school really helps define the strength of the school,” he said.

In Jaffe’s experience, the schools which have robust parent involvement generally have the most

AUG. 19, 2016 thing would be to create a detailed, strategic plan for this complex issue.

According to Beckman, CONE is putting together a request for proposal so interested consultants can assist.

“We’re going to try to move forward very quickly with this strategic plan and a consultant will have details of the steps needed, the timelines, the resources, both financial and personnel, that are going to be needed to put on this major push to maintain and restore the health of our forest,” Beckman said. “It’s been estimated that at this point to have a strategic plan would cost between $25,000 and $40,000 which is a pretty good price actually, but we’re going to be very, very involved in this strategic plan as well.”

Beckman told the RSFA board that he hoped they would commit funds to the strategic plan.

He also mentioned

how the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation has committed to fund a portion of the strategic plan in an effort to reforest the Ranch, as well.

In addition to creating a strategic plan, Beckman also noted the importance of community education events, model tree planting events, and tree steward programs.

These events offer community building opportunities, he said, and bring people together for something enjoyable.

Beckman explained that how being beneficiaries of tree planters of past generations in the Ranch should encourage current members in ensuring that future generations are afforded with the same forest ambience.

And that’s by way of planting the right trees in the Ranch.

“It’s us. It’s now. Everybody in our community benefits and everyone wins,” Beckman said.

Currently, Encinitas does not have any quickcharging stations. Clark said that as ownership of those vehicles begins to proliferate along the coast, a station like the one proposed could be an asset to the community, as well as assist the city in meeting its climate action plan goals. “Electric vehicle ownership might be only one-tenth of a percent of vehicles owned, but in five years, its going to be 2 percent, an in another five years, it could be as high as 15 percent,” he said. “Having an EV station is huge in meeting those climate goals.”

Clark said that he feels some of the issues involving the zoning are something that a number of communities face when dealing with the relatively new land use.

“A lot of cities don’t have it spelled out in their codes, but in this case, the parcel was previously a service station, so we think

that it fits the historical use,” Clark said.

He has also enlisted the assistance of Gov. Jerry Brown’s Office of Business an Economic Development, known as the GO-Biz team, which he said is sending a team to the city in the next few weeks to work through some of the road blocks.

Ranu said he was unaware of the GO-Biz team’s impending visit.

The charging station was first proposed in 2013, and in 2014 the Department of Energy awarded Corridor Power a $500,000 grant for the project. It recently received a time extension, as the winter 2016 deadline to complete the project was rapidly approaching.

“We had expected to have the project done around this time, so it’s been delayed,” Clark said.

“I wouldn’t say that I am frustrated by it, I realize that there are some questions that need to be answered.”

articles and bylaws. And they will then receive also a clean copy so that you can read it in its entirety without having all of the red lines changes or green line changes to distract you.”

Some highlights to the revisions include voting, removing the nominating committee, and special meetings.

During the course of the presentation, Wasserman shared that while it would have been easier to start over with brand new documents that could not be done.

“We needed to keep the provisions that are in here because they’re a part of the historic basis of this organization,” he said.

resources and offer staff great support.

A few weeks ago, the RSF School District commended Jaffe for welcoming former superintendent Lindy Delaney as being a special advisor to him for the next five months.

Jaffe said he is delighted to have Delaney on board to advise him on the culture of the district and the history of the decisions that were made. Jaffe views Delaney as a coaching role.

“I think this is invaluable to me and it provides me the best opportunity to really understand the community I’m working in,”

he said. “I’m still the superintendent, and I’m the one going to be leading the district, but having Lindy’s history and helping me -- I really appreciate it.”

Jaffe shared that when he first delved into his teaching career he made a comment to his mentor at the time. Jaffe told him one day he wanted to run a school.

“Now, I look at the trajectory of my career, and I’ve run schools, but now in this moment in time, I think I’ve realized that desired dream I had as a young man,” Jaffe said.

“I’ve found it and I’m looking forward to it.”

ESCONDIDO — For those who missed out, or want more — the nerd revolution continues this month.

Gamers, cosplayers, anime and more will be just a few genres featured at the 2016 Nerd-Con beginning Aug. 26 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. The three-day event kicks off with a badge pick-up and VIP party, followed by two days of panels and attendees breaking down gaming, comics, superheroes and more.

Nerd-Con founders Joel Jones, Trish Murphy, Rachel Youch and Stephanie Pandes are all returning and are expanding this year’s iteration after an eye-opening inaugural event last year.

About 3,000 people attended last year’s con and several months later, the four friends knew they needed to expand their universe.

“Last year was great … and had an amazing turnout,” Jones said. “We kind of got forced into having multiple days just to be able to fit everybody. However, 12 acres isn’t small by any means and to take over that much space and make it fun over every inch hasn’t been without its challenges.”

While last year’s con exceeded expectations, this year’s version aims to clean up several issues associated with the inaugural event.

One startling revelation, Jones said, was a quarter-mile long line of people waiting to get inside.

This year, to combat lines, more rooms and a day for badge pick-ups has been added to ease congestion.

Perhaps the biggest goal for this year, however, is to create a less segregated event, Jones and Murphy

Nerd-Con is returning for its second year at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido this month. After last year’s success, event organizers have expanded the convention to three days. File photo by Tony Cagala

said.

The four co-founders want to create an environment where gamers mingle and learn about other genres, such as anime or comics, for example.

“We want to bring people together,” Jones said.

“We want people to try things that they normally wouldn’t go to. There’s too much segregation already, so we want to bring people together.”

In addition, the event will feature media/film guest Flint Dille, cosplayers Harley Kat, D-Lo, Reel Guise and Amber Arden, cosplay fashion entities Orion’s Originals and Girl with One Eye and artist Linda Nguyen (KimCHI).

“Another aspect is that all these different areas …

are interchangeable,” Murphy added.

“Everything overlaps with each other. Cosplay is a huge thing because that really overlaps with everything we have at our convention.”

With Nerd-Con 2015 being such a hit, Jones said they’ve been inundated this year with groups and businesses wanting to get involved through sponsorships.

Though, he said they’ve had to turn those groups and

businesses that don’t meet their criteria away.

Those who are on board, however, are part of the group’s philosophy of what they want their event to be.

Instead of a commercially driven convention, they want to cultivate a more family-orientated atmosphere.

“Sunday’s are typically family days,” Murphy said.

“That’s what we are trying to do with something at NerdCon and make it more of a

family day and kid-oriented.

We will have demonstrations and workshops, Minecraft workshops because kids love Minecraft.”

One-day general admission passes run $14 for kids 5-12, $17 for ages 13-17 and $20 for 18 and older, while VIP passes are $25, $35 and $50, respectively. The twoday passes are $24, $30 and $35 for general admission, while VIP tickets are $40, $60 and $85.

Dave Phinney — Mastermind of ‘The Prisoner’ taste of wine frank mangio

T

his is a story about “New World” wine in the Napa Valley and the meteoric rise of Dave Phinney, who had an idea about blending wine out of the box.

You might say he released “The Prisoner” and freed him to hit a creative home run in the wine world.

But we digress.

The story started in 1995 when Phinney, confused about what he wanted out of life, took a friend’s advice and studied wine for a semester in Florence, Italy.

Once graduated from university life, he set out to find work in a Napa Valley vineyard. He found one at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997.

A year later he started his own winery, Orin Swift Cellars with two tons of Zinfan-

del, and not much else.

He spent the next few years making wine and experimenting with the way the wines tasted and looked, with mixing and expressive labeling.

It hit him in 2003, when he added together “mixed blacks,” like the Old Italian immigrants that came to Napa

Valley used to do.

He made Zinfandel the major varietal and added it to the standard traditional “black” blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Charbono. He called it “The Prisoner” from the label he chose, an etching of a prisoner drawn by the famous artist Goya.

He produced just 385 cases in its first vintage.

It caught on quickly as the new world’s newest and tastiest blend, and eventually went to 85,000 cases in 10 years.

The last vintage of The Prisoner made by Phinney before he sold the name is the 2013 vintage ($45).

It has 44 percent Zinfandel with 20 percent Cabernet and 16 percent Petite Sirah, and the rest Grenache and Charbono. The alcohol content is a hefty 15.2 percent.

It is a deep ruby red hue with aromas of black cherry and plum and roasted coffee beans, with a long finish.

It had me going back for more. I was captivated.

Without The Prisoner, Orin Swift and Dave Phinney went international with old vine Grenache made on 200 acres in the French Langedoc region as well as Napa Valley Cabernet brands like Mercury Head, Papillion and Palermo.

Mannequin is a Chardonnay-based brand and Abstract is a red blend mainly with Grenache.

Locations is a value brand lineup from places around the world. Look for a single large letter on the label.

Most recently, this story shot skyward when E. and J. Gallo, the legendary decades-long jug wine bottle company from Modesto, announced that it had acquired Phinney’s company, Orin

Swift Cellars, for a reported $1,000,000. Phinney will remain in charge. Learn more at orinswift.com/information.

Antinori Wines at La Gran Terraza USD ntinori, as most of us know, is one of the iconic Tuscan wines to know.

His family has been making wine since 1385.

I learned about Italian wines from Piero Antinori and Wine Spectator when I first began TASTE OF WINE in 2005. At a recent wine dinner at the University of San Diego’s posh La Gran Terraza, the next chapter of Antinori was revealed by its business manager in Southern California, Alessia Botturi.

It is the Antinori Tormaresca brand from the Puglia district of Italy. Tormaresco means “watchtower” in Italian and they were built to keep away feudal empires from conquering Puglia, now more known for its Primitivo, a grape that closely resembles Zinfandel in California.

The Tomraresca Toricicoda 2013 ($20.97) is closest to what we call Zinfandel.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Antinori’s legendary Tignanello, one of the first and best “Super Tuscans,” pioneer wines that were the first in Italy to blend the Sangiovese grape with other varietals ($95). They now command very high prices, and are not made unless the vintage is among the best.

Details about La Gran Terraza and other wine dinners can be found at lagranterraza.com.

Odd Files

By Chuck Shepherd Latest Religious Messages India has supposedly outlawed the “baby-tossing” religious test popular among Hindus and Muslims in rural villages in Maharashtra and Karnataka states, but a July New York Times report suggested that parents were still allowing surrogates to drop their newborn infants from 30 feet up and awaiting the gods’ blessing for a prosperous, healthy life. In all cases, according to the report, the gods come through, and a bedsheet appears below to catch the unharmed baby.

Government in Action More federal civilian employees have “arrest and firearms authority” than the total number of active-duty U.S. Marines, according to a June report by the organization Open The Books, which claims to have tallied line-byline expenditures across the government. Several agencies (including the IRS and EPA) purchase assault weapons and other military-grade equipment (camouflage, night-vision goggles, 30-round magazines) for their agents, and even the Small Business Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Department of Education buy their agents’ guns and ammo.

Fortunately, Haseyama contorted his body in ways that are unimaginable to sneak around the tag for the tying run. Wyley Sharp followed with a walk-off home run and even if you were there, it was hard to believe.

collects 10,000 data points and 11 different metrics in four categories.

In short, the app collects the information to develop the perfect swing, August said.

However, he said with the data provided, it is up to the coaches and players to implement the information and apply it on the field.

SwingTracker, though, uses four categories including power, speed, quickness and control to improve a player’s swing.

The information is transferred to the company’s mobile app and web portal, which then is read by coaches and players, August said.

“You have a new level of connection between the coach and the player … and develop a hitting plan,” he explained. “Our 11 different metrics are built into four categories that in our mind are relevant and relative to a baseball/softball swing.”

August, meanwhile, approached SCHS freshmen coach Guy Sabala and CHS varsity coach Danielle Kinley to pitch the app.

Sabala said the SCHS staff opted to test the program on the freshmen

T he R ancho S anta F e News While disappointment came knocking at the end, it couldn’t erase a knockout of a summer. In ELL’s 60th season, this All-Star squad advanced farther than any other team in league history. With ELL’s considerable All-Star success, that’s saying a mouthful.

What’s left unsaid is that North County owes a tip of the cap to the players.

The coaches?

They get two tips of the cap after spending 10 days in a modest hotel with 14 teenagers.

“We deserved to be here,’’ Gagne said. “We went

4-1 and the one loss came in three extra innings.’’

ELL went above and beyond in representing the area as well as it played baseball.

With that the crew paid its tab at Jorge’s, saying adios to baseball but hola to a summer put on hold.

“I guarantee you they will soon be down at the beach and playing in the water,’’ Gagne said of his players.

Come on in. Just take your cleats off first.

a grounded, capable and level headed player — even at 18 years old, which is impressive. I can’t wait to watch him play his first major league game. We’re all so proud of him.”

Moniak and his parents will be present to receive his proclamation.

“We couldn’t be more proud of Mickey, and we’re

excited that the city of Encinitas is showing him great support. Who knew our son would have a day named after him! It’s an incredible honor, and we’re so pleased to be a part of it.”

The official proclamation of Mickey Moniak will occur at the Sept. 14 city council meeting, which will be open to the public.

during the end of the season. He said the results have produced better swings much quicker than using older methods.

Sabala said thanks to the app and the 3D video capability, coaches can identify holes in their players’ swings in an hour or less. Prior to the technology, it could take the coaches weeks of tinkering with a swing before solving the problem.

“We liked it,” he added. “Now we are ready to go for next season, full bore with it. We like how we can watch the video, break it down and show the kids.”

In addition, the data shows the players how hard they’re striking the ball, if they are hitting the ball square and their exit velocity after making contact.

Sabala said many of the players thought they had good power or contact, but the results said otherwise.

“They might think they are hitting the ball hard, but they are not squaring it up,” he added. “I am able to show the video … and they are able to see they are not making really good contact with the ball. They can see how they are striking the ball, whether they are topping it, under it, off the end of the bat and getting their hands out too far in front.”

Kinley, meanwhile, is using SwingTracker on 15 varsity players this summer and said it has already helped several athletes improve their swing mechanics.

In addition, she said it could be helpful during games.

“I could see it being very useful in games,” Kinley said. “Game time and live at-bats have so many variables whereas batting practice is a much more controlled environment. I see athletes do things in live at-bats that they never do in the cages, so it’s a way to look at what is transferring from batting practice and what is not.”

SwingTracker was developed by William Clark, an applied sciences professor from the University of Pittsburgh. According to August, Clark wanted to develop a more objective way of tracking a player’s swing.

From there, the project grew into a national company, which includes MLB, collegiate, travel, and high school youth clubs.

“He was pretty much a baseball, softball dad,” August said. “A lot of it started with a dad wanting to help his kids and help bring some objectivity instead of subjectivity to the recruiting process.”
