man said.

Technology is being used to manipulate sound waves and the use of sound blankets will be increased.

But the two major changes include the addition of up to 10 roving monitors who will travel through neighborhoods to provide real-time feedback so the sound team can make immediate adjustments.

Last year only stationary monitors on the fairgrounds were used.

“What we found, after it was all said and done, was they did their job but they didn’t give us the information we needed at the speed we needed it,” Dorroh said. “And they were on the property so we didn’t get information offsite.

“When we found out something that happened we couldn’t react to it real-time,” he added.

Additionally, the performers will be contractually required to maintain sound levels dictated by KAABOO. “At the end of the day we control the right to control the overall volume of the performance,” Dorroh said. “We will be able to override their console. … If our audio engineers tell them they have to come down some more, then they have to come down some more.”

Monitoring will begin about a week before the event start.

“It’s not like, when the bands show up and they start playing, that’s the first time we get to react to this,” Dorroh said. “We’re going to be proactive and get in front of this thing.”

To address complaints last year a hotline was set up. Callers were

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe School District’s board of trustees voted unanimously to name David Jaffe as its new superintendent effective Aug. 1.

During the July 14 meeting, and prior to the official vote, outgoing superintendent Lindy Delany relayed a message from board member Todd Buchner who was not in attendance.

She told the board that Buchner sent his apologies for not attending the meeting but wanted to convey that he really supported the hiring of Jaffe as the next superintendent.

Sitting in the front row was Jaffe, as he listened to the comments prior to the election.

Over the last three years, Jaffe has served the role as principal of Torrey Pines High School.

Board president Tyler Seltzer shared his thanks to everyone for all the time they put into the superintendent search.

It was a long process, he said.

“I’m personally happy, and I think everybody else is as to where we wound up and where we are today,” he said, acknowledging Jaffe.

Seltzer went on to say that the comments he received when the board originally selected Jaffe was overwhelmingly positive.

The districts’ newest board member, Scott Kahn, expressed how heartening it was to see such a thorough process in finding the district’s new superintendent and all the energy that went into it.

Kahn then addressed Delaney.

“Lindy, you really helped vet candidates at a level that was very, very deep,” said Kahn, adding how the process revealed a spectacular candidate.

According to board member Mari Ritto, she

KAABOO organizers addresses noise complaints

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — A small but vocal group of about 15 people attended a July 6 community meeting to make some noise — mostly about noise — from a three-day entertainment and arts festival held last September at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

KAABOO Del Mar organizers held the gathering at the state-owned venue to update residents and garner input as it prepares for the second annual event Sept. 16-18.

“We know we didn’t do a good enough job last year,” production manager Jim Dorroh said. “And we’re all over it this year.”

Prior to last year’s inaugural “mix-perience,” as it is called, residents expressed myriad concerns about increased traffic congestion, parking issues, crime, trash and noise.

Ultimately the latter was the only problem reported, especially on the last day, when abnormally high heat, wind and humidity caused the sound to increase and travel farther than anyone expected.

Residents from miles away said their windows shook and they clearly heard lyrics as well as the music.

“I had to turn up my television to hear it,” said a woman who lives off Del Mar Heights Road who declined to be identified. “It was unbelievably loud. I was livid. This should not be happening.

“I wanted to scream,” she added.

“I hear the fair (noise) but not to where my windows shake.”

Betsy Milich, who lives just south of the fairgrounds on Seaview Avenue, said she consistently hears all the local noises, including those coming from

trains, motorcycles, emergency vehicles and concerts during the fair and thoroughbred race meet.

“I also have a beautiful view so I’m not complaining,” Milich said.

“But when KAABOO started I was shocked. I couldn’t block it out. There were areas (in my house) I might as well have been on the stage. I honestly never thought this would come back it was so loud.”

KAABOO will return to the fairgrounds, potentially for the next 10 years. In April, the board of directors that governs the venue approved a multiyear contract that includes a fine of up to $150,000 for noise violations and a termination clause.

It also guarantees the fairgrounds more than $1.1 million annually for the next five years.

To ensure KAABOO runs more smoothly and with fewer noise issues, the organizers are holding community workshops to learn where the problem areas were.

“We want to be good neighbors,” Julie Coleman, director of community relations, said.

“That’s why we’re having these exchanges. We don’t want to have the same situation we had happen last year. That is not our goal. Our goal is to fix this issue.”

Organizers have made several changes for the upcoming event.

Using a sound engineering team with members who hold doctorate degrees, the audio system was redesigned and stages have been angled and repositioned “to make sure we really contain the sound onsite,” Cole-

Two men fall off Encinitas bluff playing Pokémon GO game

By Tony Cagala

ENCINITAS — Two men were taken to Scripps La Jolla Trauma Center last week after Encinitas lifeguards and firefighters rescued one man off of a bluff around E Street and another man who had fallen 75 to 100 feet down to the beach below.

Both have sustained moderate injuries, according to a press release.

Emergency crews and lifeguards discovered the first man on the beach shortly after 1 p.m. on Wednesday and were tending to him when they spotted the second man on the side of the bluff,

according to Joint Fire Management Services Battalion Chief Robbie Ford.

According to a press release, Sheriff’s deputies said the two males were playing Pokémon GO on their cell phones, when they went over the side to retrieve “prizes.”

Pokémon GO is an augmented reality game played on cell phones.

The game mixes real world images captured through the phone’s camera and displays computer generated monsters on the screen in real time for TURN TO FALL ON 16

RANCHO SANTA FE — The new board of directors took their seats at the monthly July 7 Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting. The new members serving their three-year term are Janet Danola, Allen Finkelson, and Kenneth Markstein.

Former members were Philip Wilkinson, Jerry Yahr and Heather Slosar.

Interim RSF Association manger, Don May, read aloud the board of directors election results which included Janet Danola at 1,012 votes; Allen Finkelson at 1,002 votes; Rachel Laffer at 636 votes; Rachel Leheny at 616 votes; Kenneth Markstein at1,083 votes; and, Terry Peay at 565 votes.

“This was signed off by Bruce Bishop the election inspector and witnessed by Judge David Moon on June, 14 2016,” said May. After the new board of directors made introductions, the election of officers began and was led

by Finkelson. He moved that the board elect Fred Wasserman as president, Kenneth Markstein as vice president and Janet Danola as treasurer.

The board unanimously agreed.

Following this, Wasserman provided some meeting updates and ground rules.

This meeting, however, was held in a room at

the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, rather than it’s regular monthly meetings at the Association’s usual site.

Wasserman said that they were going to try to use the golf club’s room for the next 12 months in hopes it would be more comfortable for members.

Previous meetings held at the Association had an overflow of members and seating was limited in the boardroom. Room 1929 at the golf club has ample space.

Wasserman also shared that the board was not going to give members a time limit of three to four min-

utes — that was waived for the time being.

He also pointed out that members confine their remarks and/or suggestions to ideas that could be directed at perhaps him or the committee as a whole.

“We want that kind of participation. Member input is not an opportunity to comment on personnel, not an opportunity to attack who works in the Association or board members,” Wasserman said. “It’s an opportunity for members to provide constructive help to your board and the organization in terms of making it run better.”

During the course of the meeting, the board appointed members to an adhoc committee in an effort to find a new Association manager. Its former manager, Bill Overton, recently resigned and May is currently filling in as the acting manager. This ad-hoc committee consists of Wasserman, Markstein, Danola and Rachel Leheny.

Initiative approved for ballot

Will ‘Brexit’ spur a ‘Caleavefornia?’

California Focus

By Thomas D. Elias

L

ouis Marinelli polled just 6.2 percent of the vote in San Diego’s 80th Assembly District during the June primary, but there’s at least a chance the subsequent “Brexit” vote in Great Britain could increase his influence greatly.

Marinelli, a teacher of English as a second language, has made a semi-independent California his theme for years. Until lately, he hadn’t pushed a complete split from the rest of the United States, the way some promoters of an independent Texas now advocate, using Twitter hashtag #Texit.

Marinelli’s Yes California Independence Campaign (formerly called Sovereign California) sees immense promise in the way the United Kingdom likely will soon divorce the European Union.

Yes California had mostly sought a semi-autonomous status similar to what Scotland has in the U.K. Just maybe, if Britons felt they had more of a voice within the EU, they would have voted to remain in it. That kind of larger voice is what Marinelli’s nascent movement has sought for California.

Prior to the late-June British vote, Yes California Independence had not seen much success.

In March, for example, the group under its previous name failed to qualify a new and more aggressive ballot initiative that would have asked that Californians vote on whether to become independent, with governors present and future to be called “presidents.”

The measure also specified that if the rest of America refused to allow a so-called “Calexit,” the question would automatically appear on the state ballot every four years, along with the question of

whether California should apply for membership in the United Nations.

Even in a year when the number of signatures required to qualify initiatives for the ballot is at a historic low of about 365,000, this idea found no traction, just like Marinelli’s state Assembly campaign.

But the Brexit vote could change things. “It shows secession isn’t just a relic of the 19th Century,” Marinelli told a reporter. “It’s an example of an independence movement occurring in the Western world, a modern-day, 21st Century example of a political entity seceding from a political union.

It means Californians who hear the word seces-

United States dollar and having its citizens register with Selective Service and serve in the American military.

The idea of making binding agreements with other countries is something recent California governors like Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger have liked, to the point of signing myriad “memoranda of understanding” with provinces and states belonging to other nations from India to Russia, Canada, Brazil and, yes, the U.K. These have had little long-term meaning because they lack the status of treaties.

Marinelli also raised the question of whether California should stop participating in presiden-

It means Californians who hear the word secession don’t have to think of the Civil War anymore. sion don’t have to think of the Civil War anymore.

Now they have an example of how it can happen peacefully and legally…, and that’s the path to mimic here in California.”

Marinelli has changed his tune a bit over the last two years.

In 2014, he said in an interview that a totally sovereign California wasn’t needed, that the state should merely become capable of making its own binding deals with other countries and be able to pass laws that could not be overturned by the United States Supreme Court.

Back then, he wanted to set up a nonpartisan blue-ribbon panel of state legislators to analyze “sub-national sovereignty” and its effects on Californians and other Americans. The group would hold hearings and call experts to testify on how California could sign its own treaties with foreign countries and otherwise assert itself internationally — while still using the

tial elections and revert to something like the notquite-statehood status Puerto Rico has today.

And he plumped for the symbolic change of always flying the state’s Bear Republic flag at equal height with the Stars and Stripes on public property.

No one took much of that seriously until after the British vote.

Now far more radical changes may be taken seriously, at least in part because California gets back only about 77 cents in federal spending for every dollar in taxes its citizens contribute.

There’s also the reality that Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court are often at philosophical odds with a majority of Californians.

No, a Caleavefornia movement is not imminent.

But neither is the notion quite as preposterous as it used to be.

Letter to Ron Roberts on Lilac Hills

By Jon C. Frandell

Dear Chairman Roberts, I respectfully request that the San Diego County Board of Supervisors support the project known as Lilac Hills Ranch, slated for North County’s Interstate 15 corridor.

The proposed project is supported by the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce and hundreds of community Leaders, because it will help to alleviate the housing crisis, provide much needed new jobs and boost the area’s economy.

Lilac Hills Ranch does not rely on any public subsidies nor will it increase taxes on surrounding residents.

As such, the project will significantly increase the property tax base and tax revenues to the local Bonsall Unified School District and the County of San Diego and many oth-

EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Jim Kydd MANAGING EDITOR Tony Cagala

er project benefits will be felt throughout North San Diego County business and residents.

The sales and property tax revenue that go to the County can also help fund local road improvements, help offset or eliminate subsidies that are unique to the local fire district.

Lilac Hills Ranch is a sustainable community that would promote healthy living and connect residents with the environment — preserving the area’s natural open space, restoring and enhancing local wetlands, and adding over 16 miles of multi-use trails and parks, which would connect to the countywide trail network.

The project would generate several hundred high-paying construction jobs to install the latest environmentally-friendly residential and mixed-use

building components that surpass current energy codes by at least 30 percent.

The project proposes a mixed-use Town Center, which would produce hundreds of permanent retail, commercial, and professional jobs — bringing millions of dollars in anticipated revenues.

Current residents will also benefit from designs that incorporate new schools, a new fire station, and improvements to local roadways that will increase fire safety, relieve traffic congestion and make commuting safer and easier.

Please consider supporting Lilac Hills Ranch as a smart way to grow and improve our community in North San Diego County.

Sincerely, Jon C. Frandell Past president, Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce

Become a part of the RSF Garden Club The Village Voice

By Erin Browne

Join the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club! Our organization was established in 1926 by a small group of families in town who wanted to further the advancement of gardening and landscaping in the Ranch. Ninety years later, we are one of the oldest organizations in Rancho Santa Fe, continuing a legacy of community involvement and service.

We work diligently to engage members in fun activities that promote charitable horticulture and charitable conservation.

Grant Program So far, 2016 has been very exciting for the Garden Club! At the annual meeting on May 12, organizations were recognized and awarded grants totaling $50,000.

The funds will be used for projects that promote charitable horticulture and conservation in Rancho Santa Fe and surrounding communities. Recipients were selected from a group of local 501c3 nonprofit organizations that responded to our request for proposals. Our grant committee worked hard reviewing each proposal, conducting site visits, and determining which organizations should be awarded the grants this year. Our grant program takes places annually, with our next request for proposals scheduled for February 2017.

Club Activities Our club works hard to provide a variety of programs that provide opportunities for members and friends to gather for activities that are centered on plants and nature. Recent activities included a tour of Borrego Springs. A trip to Myrtle Creek is scheduled for the fall. Our “Coffee in the Garden” activities have been a huge success. Members open their homes for a private garden tour where fellow Garden Club members and guests can enjoy coffee and time together.

Our club meetings provide an opportunity for our membership and guests to meet for club business and pre-

sentations from notable professionals.

The guest speaker at our recent quarterly meeting was Tomas Herrera-Mishler from the Balboa Park Conservancy who discussed the planned changes for the park. This fall we will hear from the RSF CONE Committee on the RSF reforestation effort, as well as the RSF Fire District on preparing properties for the upcoming fire season.

Events In September we will be hosting the Second Annual RSF Garden Fair & Market, a free community event promoting all things horticulture, including plant and garden sales, landscape and irrigation consulting, and fun activities for the kids.

Rancho Days, a weeklong town celebration starts at the end of October. The Garden Club will host its traditional Petals and Prose activity Oct. 4. There will also be a Farm to Table Dinner with silent auction and live music Oct. 8. Tickets will be available soon!

Upscale Resale Shoppe The Upscale Resale Shoppe is run completely by dedicated volunteers who sort, price, stock and sell gently used donations of clothing, shoes, household items, art, music, and décor.

All donations are tax deductible. The funds generated from the sales support the club’s Grant Program.

We are open for business on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 17025 Avenida de Acacias in the Village. Donations are accepted 24/7 inside the gate of the Shoppe entrance on La Granada.

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s monthly board of directors meeting, newly elected president Fred Wasserman explained the reasoning behind the governing documents committee and why there was a provisional charter for a Governance Committee.

The Association’s board of directors approved the motion.

Wasserman explained that the committee, which was established last summer, was originally created to help “straighten out” the governing documents of the Association. Committee members reviewed the Bylaws, Articles, and the Protective Covenant Rules and Regulations.

In doing so, members discovered that many of the provisions contained in the documents were not in compliance with the Davis Stirling Act. The board approved this charter last year, Wasserman said.

Wasserman went on to say that members discovered that there were other things that the committee needed to consider which

a broader committee was needed.

“This organization does not have a Governor’s Committee,” Wasserman said.

According to Wasserman, the latest version of the charter changed the committee’s name to the Governor’s Committee.

Members of the Governor’s Committee include Allen Finkelson serving as chair, Wasserman, Mike Licosati, John Blakely, Richard Sapp, Kris Charton, and Judge David Moon.

Wasserman pointed out the roster of responsibilities of the Governor’s Committee.

“Periodically, request the Association’s legal counsel to review the Articles, Bylaws, Protective Covenant Rules and Regulations and ensure compliance with federal, state, and county laws and regulations,” Wasserman said.

The committee will also serve to recommend any changes to the RSF Association board of directors in relation to law(s) or the needs of members.

Wall Street Journal names Catherine, Jason Barry No. 1 team in San Diego RANCHO SANTA FE — The Catherine and Jason Barry real estate team are a dynamic mother/son duo who are the leaders in the luxury real estate market. Based on overall sales numbers, The Wall Street Journal named them the No. 1 Team in San Diego and No. 47 in the Nation out of all real estate companies for dollar volume production. What is so impressive is the fact that many of these teams have more than 30 agents who combine their sales numbers. Catherine and Jason’s Team is only composed of seasoned professionals Ryan McGovern and Kendra Gibilisco. What is more impressive is they have maintained this ranking since 2008.

The Barry’s success is a reflection of their philosophy; putting the needs and desires of their clients first, having an unparalleled knowledge of not only the local real estate market but the community as a whole, and a work ethic that can’t be counted in hours. The fact that the company is family owned and operated is a great advantage for Catherine and Jason because it allows them flexibility and speed which is critical when maneuvering to put deals to-

gether. Their motto is “you have to believe in what you are selling” and “treat clients like family.”

To dub Catherine and Jason as experts in their field would be an understatement. They continue to sell more high-end real estate than any other team in San Diego-having sold well over $2.5 billion in residential sales.

Kindness meter finds home in Hillcrest

By Steve Puterski

SAN DIEGO — “Kindness matters” is more than a motto for Carlton Lund.

It is a way of life and the Carlsbad realtor’s latest Kindness Meter was officially christened in the Hillcrest neighborhood on Tuesday at the Deli Llama.

The meters are gaining in popularity as this marks the ninth, plus “traveling” ones, around the county.

“Eventually, I think you can have them at all different places,” Lund said. “With this color logo, it’s about complete solidarity. It’s non-denominational.”

The Hillcrest meterwill support LGBT organizations. The meter installation Tuesday fell on the one-month anniversary of the tragic Orlando massacre, where 49 people were killed during a shooting rampage at a gay nightclub.

The first goal of the new meter is to raise at least $1,000, which will be donated to a memorial in San Diego for the Orlando victims. Secondly, Lund added, is to generate funds for local causes such as the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

Lund, meanwhile, teamed with oceanic artist Wyland on the newest addition to the meter stockpile. Lund said he and Wyland both have close relationships with members of the gay community, and spreading kindness doesn’t preclude anyone from any community.

“What caused me to do

it was the sheer violence (of the Orlando attack),” Lund said on reaching out to the LGBT community. “There is no small act of kindness.”

After a $250 deposit

by Lund, several people at the ceremony swiped their credit cards to make donations or dropped in coins.

One such kindness donor was Kai Donaghy, 6, and his mother, Bonnie.

Bonnie read about the news on the deli’s Facebook page and said it was a chance for her family to give back.

Kai dropped in $10

in quarters followed by a credit card donation from Bonnie.

After the two made their contributions, others followed, giving the newest meter a solid opening.

“It was something to do for the families of the Orlando attacks,” Bonnie said.

Funds raised at the meter, which features drawings of Darlene the Dolphin, are much welcomed, said Amber Cyphers Stephens, chief communications officer of the San Diego LGBT

Community Center.

Each quarter the funds will be deposited from an account at California Bank & Trust to the LGBT organizations, Lund said.

As for Stephens, she said the Carlsbad philanthropist called the center on Monday “out of the blue.” Lund detailed his plans and asked if the center wanted to partner.

Stephens said it was a welcomed call, one the center does not receive too TURN TO KINDNESS ON 16

Rancho Santa Fe estate slated for auction

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — A high profile real estate auction will be taking place in Rancho Santa Fe next month.

On Aug. 11, a property that was originally offered at $19.5 million, will go to the highest bidder, with no reserve price set.

Built in 2014, this Covenant property is located at 18127 Via Roswitha in Rancho Santa Fe. Krystal Aeby, who serves as vice president of marketing at Concierge Auctions, pointed out that their company is looking forward to the upcoming event and their return to the Ranch. According to Aeby, they are partnering with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty and the listing agent is K. Ann Brizolis.

“The auction presents an incredible opportunity to own a gorgeous piece of California real estate at one’s own bid price. This is our sixth time in the Rancho Santa Fe market, and we look forward to another successful sale and happy buyer in August,” she said.

Aeby describes the gated property as a one-of-a-kind estate on six expansive acres, punctuated with lush grounds and ocean views.

“The estate seems as if it could have been built 100 years ago, yet enjoys all of the modern features of today with thoughtful design destined to stand the test of time,” she said. Aeby added, “The property features equestrian amenities, a vineyard, a pool mirroring that of a five-star resort, and sprawling entertaining spaces.”

Aeby explained that their clients choose to sell in an auction atmosphere because the concept echoes an experience tantamount to selling fine art, antiques, and classic cars.

Additionally, with a time definite auction date on the calendar serious bidders have done their due diligence and have formally registered to bid. Aeby described their high-end property auctions as a win-win-win for sellers, buyers, and agents.

“Sellers have the advantage of an accelerated solution on their timeline; buyers have access to a curated selection of some of the best properties in the world combined

with an easy, transparent bidding process; and, agents receive a broker-loyal partnership with protected commissions on both sides of the transaction,” she said, noting how sales close within 30 days and are contingency-free.

Headquartered in New York City, Concierge Auctions was recognized in Inc. Magazine for two consecutive years as one of “America’s fastest-growing companies.”

For those interested in the auction, Aeby said the estate is available for preview by appointment only. Additional information including bidding registration can be done via phone at (212) 259-0518 or by visiting conciergeauctions.com.

Governing documents Special RSF golf and tennis membership categories OK’d nearing completion

By Christina Macone-Greene the various changes would

RANCHO SANTA FE — Covenant members were provided with an update regarding the status of their governing documents at the July 7 Rancho Santa Fe Association monthly board meeting.

Board President Fred Wasserman shared that the summary was done and nearly all the documents were red lined which would inference the changes.

“Very shortly, we’re going to place those on the website and we’re going to ask you to look at these and to give us your comments prior to the next board meeting,” he said.

Wasserman went on to say that at the next board meeting, the Governance Committee, formerly known as the Governing Documents Committee, will ask the board for approval to new and amended changes in the Articles and Bylaws.

“As soon as the Board approves it, then these will be put out to a vote of the entire membership for approval,” Wasserman said.

At the next meeting, Wasserman anticipated that 45 minutes to an hour would be dedicated for a presentation of these documents.

And members would have the opportunity to provide feedback and would have time to review the changes prior to their monthly board meeting.

Wasserman wanted members to know that at the monthly meeting, they would underscore the changes and go through the summary. Explanation of

be communicated.

“If you have any additional things to add to it at that meeting, we can then add those, assuming the Board wants to do that,” he said. “You’ll have plenty of time to give us your input and I think you’ll be impressed.”

Wasserman noted there were numerous hours that went into this project and estimated they were around a few thousand hours or maybe more.

“Now we’ve stopped counting,” he said.

Board director Allen Finkelson who is also the chair of the Governance Committee chimed in on the topic.

He told members that they will receive a clean copy of each document and a fully marked copy of each document showing deletions and changes.

Finkelson added that a number of members requested a summary, which will be provided.

“You’re going to get a summary which shows you the old language, the reasons for the newer language, and the new language,” he said.

Rather than reading numerous pages, the summary will highlight the substantive changes.

Finkelson encouraged those members who would have comments to send him an email ahead of time before the meeting so that they can be considered.

“Anything with advanced notice will be helpful,” he said.

By Christina Macone-Greene we have been subject to lit-

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the last Rancho Santa Fe Association’s monthly board meeting, newly elected vice president of the board Kenneth Markstein also accepted the role of the RSF golf and tennis clubs liaison.

Markstein presented two motions which included approving the former resident golf membership category as well as the sponsored tennis membership category and extending it to June 30, 2017.

While members agreed with the motion, it was board director Mike Licosati who abstained from the golf club vote and opposed the sponsored tennis club membership category.

Prior to the sponsored tennis club membership vote, Licosati voiced his concerns.

“I think before we do this that we should get an opinion of our legal counsel because we have a strange outcome in this instance, unlike the former resident category in the golf club, where former residents have paid initiation fees. In this non-resident category for tennis members, they have never paid an enrollment or initiation fee,” Licosati said.

He added, “So the result is, you have members who are required to pay an initiation fee and non-members who will not be paying an initiation fee, and I want an opinion of the counsel that this is not in violation of Davis Stirling because

igation many years ago on a similar issue.”

Licosati highly recommended receiving an opinion from counsel citing that members of the community would be paying more money for the first three years to be members of the tennis club than non-residents will pay.

Currently, the RSF Tennis Club has 25 sponsored members. The club has stated that these sponsored memberships have enhanced the playing at the club as well as helping to increase revenue.

Former president of the RSF Tennis club Dave Van Den Berg was on hand to address Licosati’s concerns.

“Mike’s statement is incorrect,” Van Den Berg said. “We do have an initiation fee and that is what’s included in the $2,500.

There is an initiation fee and the rest of the fees.”

If I recall my high school biology, the males rub their wings together and produce a calling song that is species-specific. Females are attracted to the song, and the song repels other calling males in a type of territoriality.

There are a lot of lovesick critters out there, for which I am grateful. The sound is as good as a sleeping pill. It’s one of those sounds I have an entire childhood of pleasant memories attached to. The only thing better would be the sound of surf. The sound of crickets, however, is considerably more affordable.

My summer memories of contentment attached to the cricket’s chirp began with trips to my aunt and uncle’s house.

For decades, their house was the only light in the desert, and in the stillness, the only sound you’d hear upon opening the car door would be the cricket chorus.

In rural East County, where I spent my teen

years, the arrival of summer was largely heralded by that same cricket tune. It confirmed that school was out, the windows could stay open, and life was good. My only negative cricket experience was during my two years (and a thousand summers) in Palm Springs.

There the crickets had a bad habit of sneaking into my studio apartment, where their singing turned into shrieking as the sound echoed off the tile. Sadly, I burned up a lot of cricket karma as I sucked them up with my vacuum cleaner at 2 a.m.

I may have brought serious bad luck upon myself through my temporary disrespect of the cricket. At least that’s what my Irish grandmother told me. I submit, however, that things could have been worse for my Palm Spring crickets.

Some cultures crush them up for medicinal purposes, have special cages to keep them in, and let the males fight much like dogs or chickens.

These days I have an entire backyard full of rotting fruit and vegetation for their dining pleasure.

All I ask is that they chase the girls and stay out of the kitchen. A pretty sweet deal, I’d say.

Sports The future looks bright for young ballplayer

By Tony Cagala

RANCHO SANTA FE — Playing in the big leagues is certainly something MJ Sweeney wants to do when he grows up. After all, it’s his favorite game — and he’s got the pedigree to do it — his father, Mike Sweeney was a five-time All-Star who played some 15 years in Major League Baseball.

And, in all appearances, the young Sweeney’s future looks bright.

Sweeney is one of 24 players to be selected from around the country to play in the Ripken Baseball Future’s game powered by Under Armour Aug. 6.

And if the name Ripken sounds familiar when talking baseball — it should.

The family Ripken: Cal Sr., Cal Jr., and Billy, have spent a combined 70 years playing Major League Baseball.

The culmination of the three-day baseball experience, the Future’s game will feature some of the best 12U players.

“It’s basically an opportunity to have 24 very talented, strong players from all corners of the country come and compete,” said John Bramlette, executive vice president of amateur baseball at Ripken Baseball.

The Future’s game takes place in Aberdeen, Md., prior to the Cal Ripken World Series game.

MJ Sweeney is one of 24 12U ballplayers to be selected to play in the Ripken Baseball Future’s game powered by Under Armour Aug. 6.

Players selected are coming from at least 15 states around the country, Bramlette said.

“It really is a national game in scope,” he added.

The Future’s game hasn’t had a steady presence over the years, Bramlette explained. It was last played in 2014, and was skipped over last year.

And while the Future’s game hasn’t been around long enough yet to see any of its participants reach the Show, Bramlette said that building a pipeline to the Major Leagues

isn’t really what Ripken Baseball is all about.

“That’s a great by-product,” Bramlette said, adding, “we want to provide every player that steps through our facilities, whether they’re an elite player or not, we want to give them all a big league experience.”

A couple of months ago, Sweeney learned that he was selected to play in the Future’s game. That proved to be an exciting experience, he said.

Sweeney, who plays first base and pitches, said it was a

great honor to be selected.

“I’m really excited and I’m going to try my hardest,” he said.

And if he’s not able to play first or pitch, the outfield works fine, too, he said.

Besides his baseball abilities at the plate and in the field, Bramlette said it was Sweeney’s other attributes — his leadership, behavior on and off the field and being a good teammate — that drew their interest.

“He’s got a very… mature approach at the plate,” said Bramlette. “He’s able to certainly drive the ball for both power and average based on what we saw,” he said.

“He’ll be a great addition to the team that he’s on,” Bramlette said. “We think MJ, from a talent perspective, fits just perfectly with the rest of the group,” he added.

Sweeney will be on the team coached by former Major Leaguer David Justice. Justice made his Major League debut in 1989 and spent 13 years playing for teams like the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and the Oakland A’s.

He even played against Sweeney’s father during those years.

In the opposite dugout during the Future’s game will be former pitcher John Franco.

The kids will get a few days to practice with the team and coaches prior to the game.

Sweeney said despite his experiences playing Little League and travel ball, he hasn’t yet played on a stage like the Future’s game.

What he hopes to take away from the experience, though, is pretty simple: “Just to have fun and learn a little more,” Sweeney said.

Girls softball raises the bar, and the trophy

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Long a hotbed for talent on the diamond, the one elusive title has finally made the city its home.

On July 10, the Carlsbad 12U Vendetta All-Star softball team captured its first-ever Amateur Softball Association Southern California state championship after a pair of victories over Escondido.

The win vaulted the girls into next week’s western national tournament in Kingman, Ariz.

Carlsbad, along with

28 other teams from California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico will compete in the double-elimination tournament.

The Vendetta has played as their name suggests — going on a blitzkrieg all season and piling up a 36-2-1 record — plus winning the Northern San Diego district tournament.

“In fact, we don’t win many district championships,” assistant coach Jeff Jarrard said. “Winning state was something we wanted to do. We told the girls, if we can win state, there is a great chance you’re going to win nationals.”

The Southern California region ranges from south of Santa Monica down to Bonita Valley.

About the only thing slowing down the Vendetta is the lack of open fields for practices as the squad prepares for the national tournament.

“It’s pretty crazy because no Carlsbad team has won it,” said left fielder Kaitlyn McKibben. “We work together pretty well.”

Just about every year, the Carlsbad softball team’s season has come to an end, so the fields are used for other activities. This year, however, is throwing a wrench in those plans. Since there is a shortage, the club practiced this past week at Carlsbad High School.

“It’s been really fun,” said catcher/first baseman Laurel Moody. “We hit the ball hard and make them (their opponents) make errors. We’re patient, too.”

Dominance began right off the bat as the Vendetta blasted and battered its opponents to start the season 17-0. Their run for TURN TO SOFTBALL ON 16

Board adopts CALENDAR Roberts Rules of Order

By Christina Macone-Greene ble to a summary sheet of

RANCHO SANTA FE — Chipping away at 29 agenda items at the July 7 RSF Association monthly board meeting, with three newly appointed board members, one item was referenced as “rules of order.”

Leading the discussion for the agenda item was board president Fred Wasserman. He began the discussion saying that most organizations as well as member meetings are required to have “rules of order” as acting statutory requirements.

“So I think what we need to do with the board meetings are to adopt Robert’s Rules of Order. This would only provide the meeting with the guidelines of the board,” Wasserman said.

An example Wasserman used was “motion to the table,” explaining that this takes precedence over anything else.

Wasserman told his fellow board of directors and Covenant members in attendance that he would like to adopt Robert’s Rules of Order, 11th Edition for both board and membership meetings.

He went on to say that each board member would have something compara-

motions and topics.

“It’s not a big deal but we shall have some semblance of structure in terms of the board meetings,” he said. “Today we ran it very structured, as you know.”

Asking if there was any further discussion, a member wanted to know if these rules and summaries would be posted somewhere for membership to review. An example stated was how in earlier meetings there have been breaches where people were allowed to speak and they were not members.

In the past, the member said, they would follow Robert’s Rules of Order in where members would stand and provide their name and address to prove that they were part of the organization.

“That’s a very good point,” said Wasserman, adding how the summary would be on the Association’s website. “It’s very important for membership meetings as that meeting has to be run by Robert’s Rules of Order or some type of other rules of the same category. Robert’s Rules is the one that most people use and I appreciate your comments in terms of structure.”

“I’m sure it’s not going to be perfect but we hope it is going to be better,” she said, noting the benefits KAABOO brings to the region, such as increased tax revenue and employment.

Organizers also donated about $73,000 to local charities “We want to have it,” Haydu said. “It’s good for the cities.”

Del Mar Councilman Dwight Worden said he believes the efforts being made to improve the event are sincere.

“They’re going to try to make it better this year,” he said. “It is going to be better.

Whether it’s good enough remains to be seen.”

Coleman said she will look into personalizing the message this year and creating an interactive online forum to address complaints.

“We understand 100 percent that the community is not happy,” she said. “We will do a better job on noise.

Our goal is to fix the noise issue.”

Dorroh described the noise as “a complex problem,” which is why organizers brought a team of sound experts together “to address this across the board so that the artists have a great experience, the fans have a great experience and the people that live here 365 days a year don’t want to leave for the three days because we’re here.”

“This is still a big work in progress,” he added. “It’s something we’re constantly working on. We feel like right

prompted to leave a message.

Coleman said she returned nearly all of the 91 calls received.

Resident Debra Mills was not one of them.

“I called this so-called hotline,” she said. “I was told somebody would return my call and of course nobody did. … I’m sure that I’m not the only one. As big as this is and as many residents as this affected, I’m not buying the 91 callers. I’m really not.”

“We returned … every call we have a record from,” said Coleman, noting a call log was maintained so the organizers could keep accurate records. “That’s the first time I heard that.”

Other residents said their calls were returned and action was taken as noise levels seemed to decrease after the first night, when opening act No Doubt hit the stage.

“They were our first big headliner on our first night of our first year,” Dorroh said.

“We felt like all day we had been doing a really good job and (Gwen Stefani) went out there and we all realized there was an issue and we started addressing that. And I feel like we got better on Saturday and we got fewer calls.”

Lee Haydu, a fair board director who can see the facility from her home, sympathized with other residents.

“I hear all the noise,” she said. “I understand what everybody’s saying. … Friday night I felt like Gwen (Stefani) was in my living room.”

Haydu said fairgrounds officials worked with representatives from the neighboring cities of Del Mar and

DEL MAR — The Del Mar racetrack opened its summer racing season on Friday.

Crowds packed the racing grounds to watch races, place bets and show off some fine fashions.

Opening Day marked the first time in several years that it fell on a Friday. On Saturday, California Chrome, 2014’s Horse of the Year and winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, will run in the San Diego Handicap.

South Coast Winery named state’s Winery of the Year again

or those of us who have been writing on wine in Southern California, watching, visiting and knowing that some day Temecula Wine Country would show its excellence in winemaking, I say that day has come. I no longer buy the “party wineries� or the “theme park� stories connected with Temecula Wine Country.

The city of Temecula owes a big debt of gratitude to the wineries that have brought in a big surge of wine visitors, including South Coast Winery Resort and Spa as one of the best examples.

A dream of Jim Carter’s, he convinced himself to buy 400 acres in Temecula in 1981, after being inspired by the movie, “A Walk in the Clouds,� and found ways to nurture his land by maximizing water, land and climate. He brought in expert winemakers who could help him establish the winery’s excellence. A later chapter of the property would offer villas, a restaurant and a worldclass spa to visitors, which he says makes it, “a complete wine country experience.� South Coast Winery Resort and Spa has been awarded over 2,500 medals for its wines, so it’s really no surprise that, for the fourth time in its history,

A Lick the Plate Coaster

adventure to the Carnitas

Snack Shack Embarcadero Upon arriving downtown at the Santa Fe station, I like to head over to one of San Diego’s oldest bars The Waterfront on Kettner Boulevard for a fun happy hour beer with downtown office workers.

It’s a fun way to mix up some old school into your evening before heading over to the brand spanking new Carnitas Snack Shack on the water at the Embarcadero.

This is all within walking distance and it sure is a nice place to be taking a stroll.

Just a word of warning to those of you who have been to the original Snack Shack in North Park and reveled in its funky charm, the Embarcadero location is a whole different animal so to speak. While the North Park location feels like you are eating in a friend’s backyard some-

s easy as it is to get stuck in our North County coastal bubble, it’s fun to hop on a train and explore dining and drinking options in downtown San Diego for an evening.

And yes, with the combo Coaster/Amtrak ticket happening, a round-trip is very doable with plenty of time between trains to bop around and have a leisurely meal.

I suggest catching the 3:49 p.m. Coaster southbound out of Encinitas or Oceanside, Carlsbad Village, Carlsbad Poinsettia or Solana Beach all departing within 30 minutes of that time. That will have you downtown at 4:35 p.m. and give you plenty of time to catch a happy hour before dinner.

If you want to make it a quick trip there is a 7:15 p.m. heading north but my suggestion is to make it a full evening and go at a slower pace and then catch the 8:59 p.m. Amtrak northbound as they accept Coaster tickets.

Friday nights offer much more frequency going both ways so check the Coaster schedule for details.

One of the pleasures of taking the Coaster downtown has always been the ability to bring your alcoholic beverage of choice on the train and enjoy it on the scenic trip.

That all changed recently as they have banned booze from the Coaster, which is a big bummer.

Why not just ban it after a certain time?

I don’t see late afternoon pre-dinner folks getting out of control with a beer or two on the way downtown.

That said, I did see a lot of folks with coffee mugs on my last ride — just saying.

it brought home the California State Winery of the Year at the California State Fair — this, after only 13 years of wine production.

Carter leaves no doubt that major credit deservedly goes to his winemaker team of Javier Flores, master winemaker Jon McPherson and the winery’s outstanding staff of veteran professionals. Visit at wineresort.com.  Elegance and Style Served Up at Tasting Room Del Mar In the middle of the Village of Del Mar is a newage, beautifully appointed tasting room featuring

“vines, hops and harvest.�

It’s the exquisite, new Tasting Room Del Mar, with small bites dining, craft beer and a premium wine experience. More than 40 known and loved craft beers sit side by side with a carefully selected small production collection of over 100 wines.

It made its debut recently with hosts David and Evan Taylor launching the business, along with Rusti Gilbert, wine director, Executive Chef Steven Loma and Chef de Cuisine Jenny Goycochea.

Gilbert came from the highly acclaimed Addison

and most recently The Cork and Craft. She’s put together a small production boutique wine list with an eye on the seasonal menu for optimum pairing.

The list focuses on France, Germany, Spain and California wines with an emphasis on Rhone varietals from the Central Coast. But as Gilbert says, “The list is still evolving as we discover great new challenging wines. Syrah and Grenache are big favorites.�

“I think you’re going to be chasing your tails,” one woman said. “I really commend you on everything that you’ve done and your approach to everything but I really think that this is going to be a mighty big challenge to conquer to appease everybody. I don’t see how it can be done.”

“We’re sorry for the problems we had,” Coleman said. “We’re appreciative of what you told us tonight.

We’ve heard it and we’ve taken it to heart.”

A few attendees had questions about potential

problems with public safety.

Coleman said the Sheriff’s Department reported no uptick in crimes of any sort, including drug use.

“Our demographic and our lineup does not speak to a large drug component,” she said, noting the average age of attendees last year was 38. “We didn’t have drug problems last year and I hope we don’t have drug problems this year. It’s not our scene.”

The Governor’s Committee would also take part in reviewing on an annual basis the performance of the Association’s legal counsel with recommendations on whether to retain or replace their representation.

Wasserman wanted the board and members to know that the Governor’s Committee does not have authority over the board.

Its purpose is to make board recommendations.

“It also has in place to receive problems that are brought to the Board in terms of records, concerning members of committees, concerned members, so that we can get them properly

handled in a very professional and thorough fashion,” he said. “This is what this committee is doing and why this is the charter.”

Wasserman noted that the charter will also be posted on the Association’s website.

Finkelson said that as chair, he intended to operate the committee with subcommittees.

given the location, but when I’m heading to the Snack Shack, regardless of the location, I’m going for pork and beef in all their glory.

My favorites include the pork belly starter, carnitas tacos, the BLT, the super crispy and moist chicken sandwich, the steak sandwich on Texas-style toast, and of course, the famous triple threat that includes a trifecta of pork stacked on a Kaiser roll from Sadie Rose Bakery: a chicken-fried pork cutlet, slow roasted pulled pork and slices of applewood-smoked bacon, topped with home made pepperoncini and pickle relish. It’s become an iconic San Diego sandwich, and if you can’t get your mouth around that, pull out a layer and eat it separately. The burger is top notch as well.

There are music events every weekend with live performances from local and regional musicians every Friday, Saturday, and

sometimes Sunday. Weekend brunch happens from 7 to 11 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday.

So the great thing about over-indulging at Snack Shack Embarcadero on a Coaster adventure is that you can walk it off after, then slip into a mild food coma after on the train north. Just don’t miss your stop!

Carnitas Snack Shack on the water at the Embarcadero is at 1004 N. Harbor Drive in San Diego. For more information call (619) 696-PORK (7675) or go online at carnitassnackshack. com.

“It’s fun,” Jarrard said.

“It’s been a good, good run.

The last game against Thousand Oaks we’re down 4-1 … and it started with a little hit with two outs. The next six girls hit balls in the gaps … and we went into the last inning up 15-7 and won 15-11.”

Typical of any softball success, the old cliché of good hitting, pitching and defense is an instant talking point. For the Vendetta, the old saying rings true.

The team has pitched nine shutouts and allowed just one or two runs in 13 other games. It’s no wonder the club rolled through the opposition.

Perhaps the most important ingredient, though, is the chemistry of the players, Jarrard said.

The girls played with travel teams, but put went

Four of the girls began playing with each other when they were on the 8U team and the others have mixed in, as they got older.

“There is not a real superstar on the team,” Jarrard said. “They can all hit, which is the amazing part.

Chemistry is great; the girls all like each other. The parents all get along and they (the players) all accept their roles.”

By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — As the craze grows, so do the options to stump even the most clever of minds.

On Monday, the city will join the growing list of escape rooms unlocking doors across the country, when Clue Avenue opens.

Escape rooms feature a themed room where a group of people are challenged to “break out” by solving numerous clues to stop an ominous threat or challenge, whether it be a mad scientist, zombies, nuclear attack or any other option the creators can come up with.

The creators of Clue Avenue — Nick and Shilpa Pryor, Dave and Kathleen Beccue, Jeremy and Jessica Sewell and Brock and Shannon Fellows — are beginning with humble roots as its first room is dedicated to players stopping a supervillain in the “Villain’s Lair.”

Their room holds between two and six people with various rates depending on the number of people in a team.

“We started hearing about the craze and were really interested,” Pryor said. “We went down to one in San Diego and really enjoyed. The room we went to was simple and basic, not in a bad way … it seemed like a simple concept to do on our own.”

The friends, who all work other full-time jobs, found space in downtown above the Patio Playhouse on East Grand Avenue, and worked diligently for the past several months to build and create the sets and clues for patrons.

As for the look of the room, Pryor declined to get into specifics, saying it’s part of the players’ experience.

Nevertheless, the group is optimistic Escondido’s first escape room will become a hit.

“There is a large, untapped population in Escondido,” Dave Beccue said.

While Clue Avenue only has one room currently, Pryor said they will soon expand to another room.

The lessons learned from building, designing and generating clues will come much faster for the second room.

“We’ve learned what was time consuming with the first one,” Pryor explained.

“We are trying to put in a little more depth and complexity to, not just the storyline, but the puzzles themselves.”

Clue Avenue, meanwhile, was conceived in February when the friends started emailing each other brainstorming ideas — everything from the name of

talent,” including a former set designer for the California Center of the Arts, Escondido. By pooling their resources, the group got the ball rolling.

They found their location, 201 E. Grand Ave., Ste. 2G, and began working toward opening.

“We have a lot of people with experience in customer service, writing, creativity, theatrics,” Beccue said.

But to separate their room from others, Dave Beccue said it’s their goal to leave their customers pondering Clue Avenue will become Escondido’s first escape room when it opens “important questions,” such as moral aspects of their esMonday at 201 E. Grand Ave. Courtesy photo cape room.

Another goal is to make the company, to themes and Kathleen Beccue said designs. they had a “deep bench of the room’s difficulty not so

hard that it can’t be solved, but rather amping up the excitement in the race against the clock.

Clue Avenue will be just the third escape room in North County, joining The School of Hard Locks in Carlsbad and Mighty Awesome Escape Rooms in San Marcos.

“We want it to be a cooperative industry where we can endorse each other,” Kathleen Beccue said. “You want to be referring them to have an experience when you’re in the process of turning over your room.”

Pet Emergency and Specialty Center determined that she had a life-threatening infection of the uterus in unspayed female animals.

Emergency surgery was needed to save Emma’s life, but the cost was unaffordable for her owner. Emma was able to get her surgery thanks to the Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE), aiding pet owners who cannot afford veterinary care. Emma marks the Foundation’s 1,500th life saved, which coincides with its 10 -year anniversary.

The Veterans' Compensation COLA Act of 2016 (H.R. 5588) passed the House of Representatives with unanimous support.

The bill would increase the rates of VA disability compensation, dependency compensation for surviving children and spouses, and the clothing allowance for veterans based on the rising cost of living.

O Canada — Beauty, birds and a few bugs hit the road e’louise ondash

W

hen it comes to acreage, Canada is the world’s second largest country.

When it comes to population, well, Canadians have plenty of elbow room.

Only 35.5 million people are spread across 3.5 million square miles. (Compare this to 40 million Californians squeezed into about 156,000 square miles.)

Even though our northern neighbors have plenty of open space, they’ve set a goal of eventually protecting about 12 percent of their country’s climate zones and animal habitats.

Currently Canada has 42 national parks, as well as additional provincial parks and other protected areas.

On a recent 11-day cruise down the St. Lawrence River with Adventure Canada, we were lucky enough to see some of this spectacular real estate. It was on Day 4 that we received our first introduction to one of the parks.

Forillon National Park sits on the outer tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, and though we are a long way from Quebec City and on the opposite side of the river, we are still in the Province of Quebec.

Even more surprising, the mountains in Forillon, Canada’s first national park (1970), are actually the northeastern end of the Appalachian chain.

To get there, we board a Zodiac (motorized rubber raft), which ferries us from the ship, Ocean Endeavor, to a dock near the town of Gaspe. This town of 15,000 had once hoped to become a major shipping center, but lost to Montreal and Halifax.

And before the arrival of the Europeans, these heavily forested acres and waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence were home to the Mi’kmaq and Iroquois peoples, who hunted and fished here in the summer months.

From the dock, it’s a short bus ride to the trailhead for our 2.5-hour hike along the rocky, fog-shrouded southern coastline of the peninsula. Our reward for conquering the gentle incline and reaching the peninsula’s end is a picturesque, solar-powered lighthouse and a gathering of several porcupines, lunching on the surrounding lawn.

Our ship doesn’t have to sail far for our next stop — Ile Bonaventure (Bonaventure Island) and Rocher Perce (Perce Rock) Provincial Park, established in 1985.

The 375-million-yearold rock was so named in 1607 by Samuel de Champlain because of the holes he saw “pierced” into the

massive limestone formation. Most of the 169 passengers again pile into 20 Zodiacs, which take us with a few hundred feet of the formations. For the next couple of hours, we bob up and down in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, marveling at this geological wonder and gazing at the 110,000 northern gannets nesting on the limestone ledges, soaring above us and diving into the gulf.

These amazing birds also share their territory with 200 other species of birds, including puffins, cormorants and gulls. I’m glad to have my binoculars and my meclizine.

Two days later (Day 7), we arrive in Cheticamp (population 3,000-plus), on the far northeastern shore of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. It’s a short ride to the western entrance of Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

We meet with a ranger who accompanies us on the L’Acadien Trail, stopping occasionally to educate us on the park’s history, geology, flora and fauna. I’m more than happy for the breaks, as this is a trail that only goes up.

Though it’s early June, spring is just getting comfortable at this latitude and altitude.

While the temperature probably doesn’t climb higher than the low 70s, the humidity makes us sweat and that attracts the black flies. These critters, familiar to East Coasters, draw blood, but I don’t feel the bites or notice the blood on my face until someone says, “Uh, oh. They got you.”

The effort and energy expended, as well as the insects, are worth it, though.

The end of the trail pro-

Hikers who endure the steady climb and the black flies on the L’Acadien Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park are rewarded with this view.

Photos by Jerry Ondash

Zodiacs carry passengers from Adventure Canada’s ship Ocean Endeavor to get an up close look at the huge limestone formation that sits off the coast of the Gaspe Peninsula. The rock is part of Ile Bonaventure Provincial Park and the nesting area of thousands of northern gannets.

A steady uphill trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park takes hikers to a viewpoint that affords a panoramic view of the Nova Scotia coastline.
