Merchants not in favor of parking program

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At a Rancho Santa Fe Association Board Meeting, survey results revealed that Village merchants were not in favor of an off-site parking pilot program in an effort to offer more space for customers and visitors.

According to Tom Farrar, RSF Association planning director, a parking survey was conducted to evaluate the total of on-site parking for businesses and the number of employees at each location in the Village.

More importantly, Farrar said, the survey gleaned whether or not these busi- Parking in the Village area of Rancho Santa Fe has been a subject of concern for many businesses. But TURN TO PARKING ON 21

RANCHO SANTA FE — For the last three years, David Jaffe has served as principal of Torrey Pines High School. Last week, the San Dieguito Union High School District and the Rancho Santa Fe School District released statements announcing his selection as the new superintendent of Rancho Santa Fe School District.

The decision, according to the statements, is pending board approval and contract negotiations.

Jaffe has served the San Dieguito Union High School District for 21 years as a teacher and administrator, including serving as assistant principal at Diegueno Middle School and La Costa Canyon High School.

In a release, Jaffe said the decision to leave his position at Torrey Pines High School to become the superintendent of the Rancho Santa Fe School District was “exceptionally difficult.”

“Torrey Pines has been my home the past three years and this school district for 21 years,” said Jaffe. “I am so fortunate to be surrounded by exceptionally talented and dedicated educators, an incredibly supportive parent community, and most importantly, a vibrant student population.”

Jaffe will be replacing Lindy Delaney, who served for 12 years as the district’s superintendent. She announced her retirement in January.

Her final day was to be July 1, but according to the release from the Rancho Santa Fe School District, Delaney’s contract was extended through to July 31 to help finalize a transition plan.

After three years serving as principal at Torrey Pines High School, David Jaffe is selected as the new superintendent of the Rancho Santa Fe School District, pending board approval.

“The Governing Board is looking forward to a successful transition of leadership between Ms. Delaney and Mr. Jaffe,” the statement read.

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt, who will be leaving his post later this month, and the School Board will begin a search to find Jaffe’s replacement.

Schmitt will start his new position as superintendent of the San Ramon Valley Unified School District in Northern California July 1.

Eric Dill was appointed interim superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District last week until a permanent superintendent is appointed. The district announced it would be hiring a recruiting firm to help fill the position.

The Rancho Santa Fe School Board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for July 14 at 9 a.m., where it’s expected Jaffe and the board will ratify his contract.

Danola, Finkelson and Markstein win board seats

Consulting firm to be reconsidered

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s June board meeting, it was decided that the consulting firm originally thought to perform the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club’s SWOT analysis would be reexamined.

Don May, who is now serving as the acting manager of the Rancho Santa Fe Association while Bill Overton remains on leave, initially led the discussion.

According to May, he contacted a national consulting firm to perform the tennis operation analysis.

The two-day analysis, at a cost of $7,200, would conclude with a one-day follow-up.

It was explained that the SWOT analysis acronym represented strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

“We’re working with them on developing the agenda for what actually would happen during those two days,” he said.

Board Director Philip Wilkinson asked May if he had input from the tennis board on this.

President of the RSF Tennis Club Barbara McClanahan was in the audience.

“We’re not directly opposed to a SWOT analysis. I think that all of our organizations could probably benefit,” she said.

McClanahan’s concern was making sure that whatever firm did the job did not have a conflict in terms of having a vested interest in managing tennis clubs.

Board Director Jerry Yahr also wanted to know if the tennis club staff or board was involved in the selection process of this firm.

According to McClanahan, they were not involved in the selection process or the input that would be needed in the evaluation or analysis of the operation.

President Ann Boon then shared that May’s suggestion to bring in a consultant was in an effort to address board concerns regarding tennis club operations. One point she shared was the tennis club’s request to renew their sponsored memberships.

“We don’t have anything to base that on except for their request,” she said, adding how May’s consulting suggestion would help in that decision making process.

Yahr pointed out that there needs to be a collaborative effort to get the best result.

“So let’s direct staff to work with the tennis board to develop a scope of services and then, based on that scope of services, identify the correct consultant to be hired in collaboration with the tennis board and bring that contract/scope of services back to the board for approval,” Yahr said.

And the board agreed.

RANCHO SANTA FE — The election results for the new board of directors for the Rancho Santa Fe Association have been tallied. On June 14, the Association announced that Janet Danola, Allen Finkelson and Kenneth Markstein have been elected.

The new board members, who will be serving a three-year term, will be replacing the seats of former directors Philip Wilkinson, Jerry Yahr and Heather Slosar.

The 2016 Rancho Santa Fe Association election results consisted of Janet Danola receiving 1,012 votes; Allen Finkelson receiving 1,002 votes; Rachel Laffer receiving 636 votes; Rachel Leheny receiving 616 votes; Kenneth Markstein receiving 1,083 votes; and, Terry Peay receiving 565 votes.

According to Christy Whalen, communications manager of the RSF Association, an organizational meeting will be held June 30 at 11 a.m. for the board. This will be an open meeting located at the Association, 17022 Avenida De Acacias.

The new directors will take their seat July 7 for their first RSF Association board meeting.

RSFA approves fiber broadband funding

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The board of directors at the Rancho Santa Fe Association recently approved funding for technical and legal consulting along with fiber community education for its partnership with Hotwire Communications since it signed its Letter of Intent.

Separate action items, the

board approved $120,000 for technical and legal consulting and $250,000 for fiber community education.

Assisting in this proposed fiber-to-the-home project are Magellan Advisors performing technical consulting and Peace & Shea LLP helping with the legalities, respectively.

member and RSFA board member, Philip Wilkinson, hoped that the board would approve the continuation of this effort. And they did so on both counts unanimously.

Wilkinson explained that the technical consulting and legal costs were payments for the months of May, June and July. Each entity would receive $20,000 per month. Combined, the total costs for three months were $120,000.

“We expect in another sixty days, we’ll have the definitive agreement completely negotiated and ready for signature,” Wilkinson said, noting how anything beyond the month of July would be part of the $13.5 (million) project investment.

The estimated construction cost for the technology has been estimated to run $13.5 million; and, the RSFA

intends to absorb these costs with the agreement that it will own the network after a final regulatory review.

Board member and also technology committee member, Mike Licosati, highlighted the legal framework of what was needed which included the EPC (engineering and procurement contract), SLA (service level agreement), the maintenance agreement, organizational structure, and the financing.

Wilkinson described the consulting portion as babysitting the entire project and negotiating with Hotwire in making sure the RSFA remains protected.

According to Wilkinson, fiber education would go toward website development, video introduction, advertising, community education, a demonstration room, staffing, travel, and marketing materials.

“We’re not sure where the demonstration center will be yet, but we’re advocating a couple locations here and around town,” he said.

Wilkinson also pointed out that the outreach process is expected to last about four months.

And invoices must be approved before any monies are allocated from the $250,000 reserves, he said.

“And we can slow or stop it, if we aren’t seeing the type of uptake that we expect,” he said.

The Association is required to have 1,200 homes and businesses to be signed up for this service so it meets its threshold launch. Wilkinson believes that due to the momentum of interest they may reach this halfway mark in the next 45 to 60 days.

“So there are a lot of wheels in motion here. And we absolutely need to continue this to get the uptake.

Many, many people are knocking on our doors and are very excited about the possibility of getting 1GB let alone 10 GB, which we will absolutely unequivocally need in the future,” Wilkinson said.

Shakiba delivers report to RSF School District SFID discusses rate

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — During the Rancho Santa Fe School District monthly board meeting in June, members of the board and those in attendance had the opportunity to hear a yearend report from the Parent Forum Steering Committee.

Delivering the report was Jan Shakiba, secretary and parliamentarian of the RSF Education Foundation as well as a member of the Parent Forum Steering Committee. Before introducing Shakiba, Superintendent Lindy Delaney shared how they had many meetings together in an effort to make things better in terms of parent engagement.

Shakiba wanted everyone to know that the yearend report to the Board was based on what their steering committee had accomplished this year and what they propose to do next year.

She then highlighted how the parent forum was

initiated this school year to provide a platform for parents to come together to identify and discuss important issues that impact the educational experience for all the students.

And then she underscored a second reason.

“To develop a collaborative process between parents and the school where parent feedback is shared with school policy leaders and educators; and, school policy makers and educators communicate and inform parents regarding important issues that impact the quality of education,” she said.

According to Shakiba, their initiative was managed by four parent volunteers who took part in the Steering Committee. Superintendent Delaney was also involved. Since its inception, there were monthly Parent Forum Meetings.

While meeting attendance numbers ranged from 20 to 30, Shakiba said, the greatest turnout was regarding

Superintendent Lindy Delaney’s retirement which attracted more than 50 guests.

In addition to Parent Forum Meetings being a goal, there was another that the committee pursued.

“Our second goal was to research and recommend a long-term Parent Forum structure,” she said, noting how these activities would further promote parent engagement for school community success. “We believe we have met the first of these two goals. We’d like an opportunity to pursue the second goal going forward.”

Shakiba then proceeded to state the steering committee’s recommendations, which included hosting between three to five Parent Forum Workshops during the 2016-17 school year. She went on to say that these workshop sessions would be based on the priorities which were recognized during its Parent Priority Session.

The list consisted of

having “relevant teachers” in their meeting discussions; relay information from school board meetings and parent forum meetings to the parent community and/or school board; collaboration with the RSF Education Foundation; per administration approval the ability to craft an annual school survey; review and/ or edit the Annual Parent Involvement Plan; and, to implement best practices for parent engagement.

“The Parent Form Steering Committee believes that we have made a valid contribution to the school and parent community with our efforts this year, and would like to continue to build on that going forward next year,” she said. Shakiba continued, “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board and Lindy for all your support.”

Shakiba hoped that the school board would take their recommendations under advisement.

Workshop seeks answers to short term rentals

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — About 75 residents shared their views individually and as small groups during a June 13 workshop at Powerhouse Community Center aimed at prioritizing potential solutions for short-term rental regulations.

The group also included a smattering of people who work in the industry as managers but do not necessarily live in Del Mar. Rentals of 30 days or less are not specifically allowed or prohibited in the city. However, the practice has been going on for decades, especially during the summer when tourists come for the annual county fair and thoroughbred horse races at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Discussions about whether to regulate or ban STRs, as they are sometimes called, have “heated up recently,” Councilman Al Corti said, because of increased complaints from

residents who say the temporary lodgers create more noise, parking, trash and traffic problems and are changing the community character.

Supporters say the visitors boost the local economy by spending money at Del Mar restaurants and stores and provide much-needed extra revenue for residents.

Many say the practice has increased exponentially in recent years because websites such as Vacation Rental by Owner and Airbnb make it easier to book a stay.

There is currently a temporary moratorium on new short-term rentals entering the market. Council members are using the time between now and when it expires in November to garner public input on whether there should be regulations or an outright ban.

Some of the problems in dealing with the issue include difficulty enforcing any rules and the Califor-

nia Coastal Commission’s support of STRs. The state agency views them as more affordable options to expensive coastal-area hotels, thereby allowing more people access to beaches.

At the workshop attendees were divided among nine tables and asked to rank their preferences for addressing short-term rental regulations in five categories, each of which provided a variety of options.

The first one focused on whether STRs should be restricted to certain areas of the city. Impacts of an overabundance of short-term rentals in a concentrated area include a perceived loss of neighborhood character and disturbance issues.

As a group most people favored treating short-term rentals the same way citywide.

Addressing occupancy limits, the preference was to limit the number of peo-

ple in each rental based on the number of bedrooms in the unit. The second choice was to cap the number of ocTURN TO WORKSHOP ON 21

increase and water level restrictions

By Christina Macone-Greene water,” she said.

RANCHO SANTA FE — While Santa Fe Irrigation District customers are facing an approved threeyear water rate increase, which came into effect this month, news about the change in water level restrictions is also circulating.

According to Jessica Parks, public information officer for the district, there were 1,324 written protests from SFID customers. Despite the attempts from a number of customers to keep the rates “as is” the board still decided to move forward with the increase for a variety of reasons.

“After years of budget cutbacks, reductions in staff, deferral of capital improvements, increased costs, and several years without any rate increases, the majority of the district’s customers seemed to agree with the majority of the board that the rate increases are necessary to provide continued safe, high quality service and that the years of budget cutbacks could no longer be sustained,” Parks said.

“Furthermore, even with the increases, the district’s rates remain among the lowest in the county.”

Parks confirmed that the rate increases would be slated for the next three years. The first occurred on June 1. The second adjustment will be slated for Jan. 1, 2017 followed by the last Jan. 1, 2018.

“The approved rates will provide funding for the district to maintain its $300 million system of pipelines, pumps, reservoirs, treatment facilities, valves, hydrants, and computer monitoring systems to ensure reliable, quality service and safe drinking water. They will also be used to help pay for our new desalinated water supply and to explore development of new water sources, including, expanded use of recycled

Parks went on to say that in recent years the SFID had effectively reduced millions of dollars in costs in an effort to postpone a rate increase to its customers. Steps the district took included deferring capital improvement projects and using its own reserves to pay for imported water rate hikes and necessary capital projects.

“The cost-cutting was taken to its limit, and the rate increases are vitally needed,” she said.

While SFID customers are coming to terms the best they can with these rate increases, Parks said that there is some exciting news. On June 16, the Santa Fe Irrigation District Board of Directors voted unanimously to rescind its Water Shortage Response Level 3. Water conservations efforts are now deemed voluntary.

“This action will remove the mandatory water use restrictions our customers have been following since June 1, 2015.

The move to a Level 1 water shortage response will allow the District to continue with a water conservation message, without mandating the days and times to water and other water use restrictions,” she said. Parks added, “The district continues to remind people that in semi-arid San Diego it is always important to use water wisely and never waste it.”

Parks wants SFID customers to know that the district is thankful to the water conservation efforts made.

Since June 1, 2015, SFID customers successfully reduced their water usage by 31 percent, cumulatively.

“That is an amazing feat. We want to thank them for all their hard work and to keep being water smart and water efficient,” she said.

GOP has only itself to blame for ballot absence California Focus

By Thomas D. Elias One clear precedent emerged from California’s primary election results: There will be no Republican contending this fall for the U.S. Senate seat about to be vacated by the retiring Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, the first time the race for a statewide office has ever devolved into a one-party affair.

The reason is clear, too.

Not only did the GOP fail to field a truly formidable Senate candidate this year, but the party had only one hopeful among its five (somewhat) significant springtime candidates with any experience in elective office.

Keep this up and the GOP will be seeing many more big Democrat-on-Democrat contests.

By contrast, the Democrats fielded two electoral veterans, two-term state Attorney General Kamala Harris, also a former two-term district attorney of San Francisco, and 10term Orange County Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.

The returns left little doubt that Republicans could have won a place on the fall ballot if their vote had not been completely fractured.

Instead, all five at least somewhat well known GOP hopefuls stayed in the race to the bitter end (which ended bitterly for them all) even though their party probably could have won a November slot if four of them had dropped out and essentially instructed Republican loyalists to vote for the remaining survivor.

This actually should have been done before the March 16 filing deadline if the party expected to make a Senate run in the

fall.

Instead, the last of the GOP candidates to file — Silicon Valley entrepreneur Ron Unz — waited until that very date before submitting his papers.

A party once known for its firm internal discipline had none this year.

Even when polls repeatedly showed GOP candidates drawing less than 10 percent each among likely primary voters, none dropped out to let Republicans coalesce around someone.

The reason for all this was as clear as the result: No GOP candidate cared much if their party fielded no autumn candidate.

All were apparently

but with the Top Two primary, we’re simply going to get situations like this from time to time.”

Not exactly a cry of despair for the party he once headed.

Said Unz, the author and chief funder of the 1998 Proposition 227, which all but ended bilingual education in California, “The truth is, I probably don’t care whether there’s a Republican candidate in the runoff.

“I’ve never been anything but a registered Republican, but I’ve been disappointed with the positions many Republicans have been taking lately.

And from the other two Republicans in this race, I

A party once known for its firm internal discipline had none this year. content to leave that election strictly to the Democrats, with GOP voters perhaps a moderating influence, as they often have been in all-Democrat races for state legislative jobs.

Such one-party races have been common since voters adopted the Top Two primary election system as Proposition 14 in 2010, but until now, never before for a choice top-of-ticket job.

It’s bound to leave rankand-file Republicans frustrated.

“I doubt this will have long-term ramifications for the party,” said Palo Alto legal arbitrator George (Duf) Sundheim, the leading vote getter among GOP candidates and one of two former state Republican Party chairmen who insisted on staying in the primary.

“Yes, it would be helpful to other candidates further down the ballot to have a Republican at the top of the ticket,

did not see anything interesting.

“To win, any Republican would need a lot of crossover voters, but it’s difficult to see two longtime party functionaries managing that.” Unz began by admitting he expected to lose the primary, but wanted the bully pulpit the campaign offered for talking about how to preserve his 1998 Proposition 227, which ended most bilingual education in California.

The result leaves the field to Harris and Sanchez, with the winner likely to be the one who can attract the most Republicans this fall.

Neither came close to dominating the spring campaign, both falling far short of the vital 50 percent benchmark.

Grandparents play a “powerful” role in the battle against prescription drug abuse, which has become a leading cause of accidental death in San Diego County, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Who better to hear that message from than teens, who are often the first to hear about the latest drug trends?

On May 18, eight teens from North County area high schools teamed up with the Carlsbad Police Department and Vista Community Clinic at the Rancho Carlsbad Women’s Club luncheon to present “The Power of Grandparents: How Seniors Can Play an Important Role in Preventing Prescription Drug Abuse.”

This intergenerational program gave senior citizens the unique opportunity to hear from youth about the dangers of prescription drug abuse and learn about important precautions, such as taking medications as directed, not sharing prescriptions with family, and securing medications in a safe place away from visitors and youth.

“Many seniors do not realize that friends and family are the most common source of medications for non-medical use,” explained Yoli Delgado, a senior at Oceanside High School and moderator of the presentation. “We hope to inspire them to keep track of their medications and secure them in a safe place.”

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, persons aged 65 years and older comprise only 13 percent of the population, yet account for more than one-third of total outpatient spending on prescription medications in the United States.

EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Jim Kydd MANAGING EDITOR Tony Cagala

Prescription drug abuse is one of the nation’s fastest growing drug problems. Every day, more than 1,600 teenagers use a prescription drugs for the first time, according to the 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

About 64 percent of teens ages 12 to 17 who have abused pain relievers say they got them from their friends or relatives, typically without their knowledge, according to

of this presentation.”

The luncheon also included a portable drop box where seniors were encouraged to bring unused or expired medications.

Nearly a third of the 50 participants at the luncheon took advantage of the opportunity to go through their medicine cabinets and dispose of unused prescriptions.

Officer Zavala with the Carlsbad Police Department was on hand to dispose of the contents safely.

Carlsbad also provides a permanent Prescription Drop Box located at the Carlsbad Safety Center, 2560 Orion Way in Carlsbad that residents can use year round to dispose of unused or expired prescriptions.

In San Diego County, approximately 30,000 pounds of medications are disposed of annually in permanent drop boxes and through DEA-sponsored Take Back Days.

Despite this, a recent UCSD School of Pharmacy online survey revealed that 75 percent of local residents still flush, keep or improperly dump their unwanted or expired medications.

Cliff-top bench promotes love

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — Disney has “The Love Bug.” The B-52s have “Love Shack.”

And thanks to Nana Hinsley, Del Mar now has the “Love Bench.”

The amorously themed seat, perched above Dog Beach in the north end of the city, offers spectacular views and a quiet setting where people can “just hang out and meditate.”

“And if you’re with someone it’s kind of my hope that you might get really present with that person, whether it’s your granddaughter or your husband or your friend, and just be really grateful in the moment for that time together,” Hinsley said.

“I would love it if people would propose up there or renew their vows up there.”

Originally from Arizona, Hinsley spent most of her life in Carmel Valley, where she raised her two children, Chanel and Dino, whose names are part of the inscription on the bench.

“We used to go to Del Mar all the time,” she said.

“Every week we took the kids to the beach in front of Poseidon (restaurant).

All our friends would come, and they’d bring their kids and we’d picnic. It just became an institution.

“One day I was leaving the beach and I was using one of the benches,” she added. “I noticed that it was dedicated to somebody

who’d passed away and I thought, ‘Gosh, I would love to have a bench.’ Maybe not do it for someone who’s passed but maybe to celebrate our family or something to that affect.”

Hinsley, an Internet marketing specialist for a local plastics company, called the city about eight years ago asking how she could sponsor a bench. She was told they were all “spoken for” and the families renew their commitments annually.

“They told me there likely wouldn’t be any future opportunities unless benches were added at other locations,” Hinsley said.

“So I put my name on a waiting list.

“I sort of gave up the thought that I could ever have a bench,” she added.

“And I’ll be darned. This past March the phone rings and it’s … the city of Del Mar telling me five benches are being added to Dog Beach.”

Hinsley was the third

person on the waiting list.

The first two claimed the two benches on the sand.

Two others were close to the street.

“The other one was the one I chose, which is up on the bluff,” she said. “It’s kind of obscure. You don’t necessarily know it’s there unless you take the stairs up.

ESCONDIDO — A Mexican free-tailed bat, native to Southern California, that was found alive on the grounds of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park earlier this month tested positive for rabies.

On June 11, a park employee discovered the bat on the ground in the Nairobi Village area, where trained staff eventually captured and a transported the animal away for care, according to Christina Simmons, a spokesperson from San Diego Zoo Global.

The bat was apparently not one of the park’s animals, according to a news release from the county of San Diego.

On June 13, the bat was transferred to the county for rabies testing, which was confirmed with a positive result.

“There is no reason to believe that any guests, staff or volunteers came into contact with the bat

but in an excess of caution Health and Human Services has sent out information to the public to make them aware of this incident and to advise them if they have any concerns,” Simmons said.

The county is asking anyone that might have directly handled the rabid bat to contact them immediately by calling (619) 692-8499.

This is the second bat found in the county this year that has tested positive for rabies, according to Tom Christensen of the county of San Diego Communications office. Last year, six bats tested positive for rabies.

“People should always stay away from bats and other wild animals to prevent possible exposure to rabies,” said County Public Health Officer Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., in a news release. “If you see a bat, dead or alive, don’t touch it.”

RANCHO SANTA FE — At a Rancho Santa Fe School District board meeting, the board of directors listened to a Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation year-end update.

Delivering the information was Barbara Edwards, development director for the foundation.

Edwards began serving this new position last summer and Superintendent Lindy Delaney commented how she was the perfect fit for the job.

“She’s been so wonderful,” Delaney said, referring to Edwards.

“Next year, the Education Foundation will be giving us $1,459,745 — that’s the money we’re going to get, so that’s no small feat.”

For the current school year, the Education Foundation fulfilled its commitment of $1.3 million for the district.

Starting her presentation, Edwards began by saying how this was a “year of firsts” for the Education Foundation, including the first year of a brand-new organizational struc-

ture.

Edwards went on to say how it was also the first year that the endowment made a distribution to the district.

She also noted how the first half of her position was in a look, listen

and learn mode.

Edwards noted that the endowment supports 33 events during the year — 22 of those were Foundation primary events while the remainder were district and/or shared events.

“Bottom line, we want to improve our execution with these 33 events,” she said.

According to Edwards, the second half of their year consisted of the introduction or re-introduction of certain initiatives with the Education Foundation, which included the implementation of a formal nominations process for its 14-member board.

As the Education Foundation moves forward, she said, they will continue to educate their community, especially in the area of pledge commitments.

“Those are valuable assets,” she said. “We are still $65,000 out on outstanding pledges that we need to collect.”

Edwards said it was their fiduciary responsibility to report their assets and liabilities accurately.

Looking ahead, Edwards said for any new ideas which come their way the decision making process will include assessing if that idea is good for the organization and if it will be sustainable.

Make-a-Wish San Diego gets generous boost RANCHO SANTA FE — Research suggests that as many as 317 children in the San Diego community will be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness this year, and Make-AWish San Diego is committed to making their wishes come true without delay.

Currently, Make-AWish San Diego is reaching two-thirds of medically eligible children, but one in three eligible children in

San Diego have not been granted a wish.

To narrow this gap, Make-A-Wish San Diego has recently created an exclusive President’s Circle to assist in making EVERY wish come true for San Diego children.

San Diego philanthropists Hélène and George Gould are the inaugural founders of the President’s Circle, and have pledged a $250,000 matching gift

“When Make-A-Wish San Diego told us about their goal to be able to reach each and every child in our great city, we were compelled to make a difference in the lives of these children,” said Hélène Gould. “George and I have

pledged to match every dollar up to $250,000 for this initiative. We encourage others to consider donating and joining the President’s Circle to help make an even greater impact in San Diego, so that ALL of our local kids can have their wishes come true.”

“Nearly every day in San Diego, a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition,” said Chris Sichel, President and CEO, Make-AWish San Diego. “Hélène and George have been instrumental in launching the President’s Circle, and their extraordinary donation and the joy it will inspire for our Wish Kids will shape Make-A-Wish San Diego’s future for years to come.”

Members of the President’s Circle will make it possible for the local MakeA-Wish to grant a wish for every child in San Diego.

Our home has gone to the birds

German Shepherd Club offers workshops DEL MAR — The German Shepherd Dog Club of San Diego County will host monthly socialization and obedience workshops with trainer Dale Proctor, starting July 25, at the San Dieguito County Park, 1628 Lomas Santa Fe Drive.

Subsequent workshops will be held July 23, Aug. 27 and Sept. 24. Advance registration is required. The cost is $20 for the first dog and $10 for a second dog or class. Contact Barbara Resnick at barbara_resnick@ sbcglobal.net or (858) 7562071.

The workshops are designed to introduce owners to and familiarize them with one of the smartest breed of dogs. In addition to the lecture and working class time, participants will have a chance to meet other German Shepherd owners and club members in a relaxed environment while improving socialization/

obedience skills and knowledge.

Students of all levels are welcome. The session includes techniques to correct issues, such as pulling on the leash and uncontrolled barking. This is a confidence-building training session for dog and handler. In the 1:30 p.m. socialization class, owners will learn how to socialize their dogs as well as how to set boundaries and be the pack leader.

The Beginner’s Obedience Class is the second half of the training session and starts at 2:30 p.m.

Here socialized dogs and their owners will learn advanced communication and bonding skills. The German Shepherd Dog Club of San Diego County is considered the oldest specialty club in the west and its members are involved in conformation, tracking, agility, herding and obedience.

Doing a better job of reclaiming public spaces Northbound vince vasquez

I

have a confession to make — despite my proud boosterism for all things North County, my favorite park isn’t in North County.

It’s in downtown San Diego.

Located at the corner of Park Boulevard and Market Street, Quartyard is an urban park built from repurposed shipping containers. The park is located at a previously-city-owned 25,000 square foot lot that stood vacant for years; budget cuts stalled the construction of a planned public park indefinitely.

Seizing the opportunity, some architecture school graduates came up with an idea for an inexpensive, innovative design for a temporary park at the site, and a public-private partnership was born.

Today, Quartyard is a popular community gathering space for the East Village neighborhood, featuring a beer garden, dog park, coffee shop, food trucks, and a busy programming schedule of concerts and special events.

Simply amazing, you have to visit it to enjoy the simplicity and uniqueness.

It meets the needs of a growing community.

After trips across the border, or flights back to San Diego, I’ll usually stop in at Quartyard for a craft beer and catch up with friends and old neighbors who still live in the area.

I’ve even been known to take the Coaster down from Carlsbad on an idle afternoon just to spend a couple hours there. It’s al-

ways bustling with activity, and a great place for people watching and to experience the vibrancy of downtown.

Why do I mention Quartyard? Well, there’s nothing quite like it in North County. To be sure, we have miles of manicured sandy beaches, and acres of open space and green spaces where locals and visitors can play. Our public spaces are the envy of so much of San Diego County.

But how many of our community spaces are in our urban core, in the places where we are adding density, mixed use projects and drawing newer, younger residents?

I think it’s time we rethink how we add public spaces.

Planning documents from North County cities reveal that the vacant land available for new parks will shrink dramatically over the next two decades. Why not consider low-cost alternatives like Quartyard?

While Quartyard may be unique in San Diego, there are other examples of public-private partnerships in the country. In 2009, former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom rolled out a program called “Pavement to Parks,” which built partnerships with community groups and corporations to develop innovative temporary plazas in some of the city’s busiest traffic corridors.

The first pedestrian sanctuary that year was a 7,800 square foot plaza at the corner of Market, 17th and Castro streets, all at the cost of $25,000. Known by residents as the Castro Commons, the plaza, which is about half a city block, reclaims excess roadway by painting over asphalt, using donated chairs and granite blocks from a city salvage yard, and featuring recyclable planters with

drought tolerant plants.

In the words of Newsom, creating new public spaces “is not that complex.”

The simplicity of the Castro Commons, which was installed in 72 hours, underscores the true obstacle in advancing parks — political inertia.

Why not set a goal of creating more public space — and work with neighborhood associations, businesses and innovators who are willing partners? Why not consider even more ideas, such as selectively closing portions of major residential roadways to car traffic throughout the year,

and allow families and individuals to walk, skate and play?

Our community already has most of the resources it needs to create public spaces — volunteer muscle, corporate donors, and miles of paved streets.

With civic leadership to move these pieces into action, more vibrant public spaces will be available for everyone in North County.

kind they are.

I don’t want to know badly enough to sit still and take photos. I keep wishing I could record their songs and match them on the Internet, but that’s unlikely, too.

Everyone has birds, you say. True, but our bird population has really grown these past few years.

They began to hang around more once we no longer had two breeds of bird dog, leaping around our backyard. But the real change has come since my retired husband turned the yard into 10 raised garden beds.

Apparently, our garden offers the perfect blend of insects and produce. We did cover the blueberries and strawberries with a bird net, but our winged visitors seem to manage on whatever is left. I also suspect that hope springs eternal in the birdie breast, much like in our dogs. If they can see it, there is always a chance they might get a bite of it.

And since my husband is the king of organic gardening, I expect we offer a wider selection of bugs than some. Therefore, birds are my new best friends.

Anything, from bats to birds, that will dispose of insects without leaving any residue (well, no toxic residue) goes right to the top of

my favorite things list.

And this week, my husband reported some Alfred Hitchcock moments, as birds began to gather around him. I guess they have decided that he is just some sort of moving plant.

Since he has been out in the yard every day for six months, they have begun to occasionally perch near him and just stare. First there was a dove that walked around the yard for a few days. Then some LBB’s (little brown birds) that landed nearby.

Then the hummingbird began just hovering about, after initially dive-bombing him, just to make sure he knew she meant business regarding avoidance of her nest. It appears he has passed the friend-or-enemy test.

I rather expect to walk out and see him recreating that scene from “Snow White,” where she sings and the birds land on her arms and shoulders and sing with her. I just hope the neighbors don’t notice.

Regenerative aesthetics: Look your best naturally There is a regenerative revolution underway in all fields of medicine, from stroke recovery to wound healing.

Thousands of patients across the country are benefiting from PRP and stem cell therapies to heal sports injuries, improve the health of their joints, reverse the symptoms of arthritis, avoid surgery, and return to their active lives.

Based on their positive experiences with stem cell and platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP), patients have been seeking to use regenerative medicine to look their best naturally.

While traditional aesthetic procedures such as Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers can be degenerative and temporary — damaging fragile local microcirculation and requiring frequent retreatments — PRP and adipose/cellular therapies work through your own healing systems to affect long-lasting improvement to skin quality and texture.

PRP involves the injection of concentrated platelets and growth factors—as collected from the patient’s blood during an in-office procedure — into an area of degeneration, injury, or arthritis. The growth factor concentrate signals local progenitor cells to replace the injured area with healthy tissue.

For deeper lines and more advanced degeneration, micronized fat grafts and fat-derived stem cells — also harvested from the patient during a gentle in-office mini liposuction technique — can replace traditional fillers for more natural, long-lasting restoration.

Local investors sought to help North County airline take off CARLSBAD — If you ask a group of children what they want to be when they grow up, you’ll likely have a handful of future pilots in your midst.

While that dream gives way to reality for many, local entrepreneur Ted Vallas has an offer for local grownups that just might appeal to those still holding on to aviation aspirations — as well as anyone else looking to be a part of the future of local air travel.

Vallas is the owner of California Pacific Airlines, which will be operating out of McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad. While CP Air was ready to take off out of the Carlsbad airport in 2011, issues with the FAA’s operating budget grounded those plans. Vallas said that the FAA and Department of Transportation have been very cooperative. Now that the timing is right, Vallas is looking to community investors to raise $5 million over the next three months to take his North County airline to the sky.

Vallas knows a thing or two about local and international business, and the airline industry as well. He spent 19 years as the sole owner of a flag and domestic airline that operated primarily from Lindbergh Field.

Vallas said he has run more than 40 businesses in his 95 years following a stint with the Navy. Included in his varied career is the manufacturing and remanufacturing of aircraft. He was also the developer of many local landmarks, including what

is now known as Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. Vallas’ resume and track record are impressive to say the least, and together with the growing need for a North County airline, investing in CP Air is a timely and unique opportunity.

Phase 1 of Vallas’ plan for CP Air includes service to seven cities — San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Tucson and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. To maximize passenger

comfort, CP Air will fly EJ 145 jets that have been modified from 50 seats to 40 seats as well as EJ 170 jets that have been modified from 80 seats to 70 seats. When the second phase rolls out it will include service to St. Louis and down into the Texas area.

“Because of the demographics of the area, we have 1.3 million in North County alone, and a catchment area in excess of 3 million, who we can service who will not have to travel to San Di-

ego, Orange County or Los Angeles,” Vallas said. He pointed out that this is a savings in time and in dollars. “It gets people off of the freeways,” he said.

Additionally, CP Air will bring an estimated 150 jobs to North County in its first year, which could multiply to 1,000 local jobs by year four.

Vallas wants CP Air to remain a North County airline in every way, including its ownership. “At present time I own 92 percent of the company,”

he said. “I have about $15 million of my family’s and my own money invested. And now we’ve been authorized by the SEC to sell stock locally, and we’d like to keep it a definite low number of investors, primarily in North County.”

By FCC laws, and under the Jumpstart Our Business (JOBS) Act, investors to CP Air must be considered “sophisticated,” meaning they have to have at least $1 million net worth (not including their home) and have an income of at least $200,000 per year.

Vallas promises full transparency to all his investors. “We disclose every possible risk that there could be to the business,” he said. “An airline is not an everyday business. But it’s very rewarding when it’s successful.

And there is no reason for it not to be successful. The demand and demographics indicated that there is more demand for seats in North County than we can produce in the next three years.”

Vallas also cited the benefits of CP Air’s success to the community. “Our market area is about 50 percent business people up and down and all throughout the West Coast,” he said.

“We will be bringing tourism into North County from all seven cities. The hotels, the restaurants will all benefit.”

Dementia Care: When is the right time to place loved ones in professional care? recommended for many reasons including risks of fiduciary abuse, injury claims by the caregiver or worse. Keep in mind, when paying more for less than 24-hour unskilled care exceeds the cost of the monthly care in a specialized memory care community, it is time to look at alternatives.

By Todd A. Shetter, ActivCare Living, Inc.

Deciding that the everyday care of a loved one is better off in the hands of full-time professionals in a specialty care community rather than at home with family members is a difficult and complex conclusion to reach. Many factors feed into evaluating the best environment and location for safe, compassionate and successful care for those with memory loss and physical care needs.

First and foremost is the need to establish a realistic and factual picture of the current and future needs of the loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s or related dementias.

In addition, it is important to have all of the decision makers and stakeholders included in the discussion and willing to participate in a candid dialog. Everyone participating in the care plan discussion needs to agree that well-being, quality care and best possible outcomes for the loved one affected by memory loss are the ultimate goals.

Staying at home with care is usually the first step when attempting to structure care and support for a family member with dementia. In many cases, those arrangements and plan can be successful or at least efficient for a period of time, but may not endure with the progression of the disease.

Ask yourself these questions when evaluating care support at home initially and over time:

ActivCare at Bressi Ranch is a residential memory care community where specially trained professional caregivers and licensed nurses provide round-theclock care.

A daily schedule of activities involves all residents providing a sense of purpose and self-esteem.

The community is purposely built to provide a safe and comfortable environment for those with memory loss.

Making the decision to place in a specialized memory care community like ActivCare at Bressi Ranch is an individual choice driven by a multitude of factors including family support, finances, geography, caregiver health and capabilities. Sometimes the preconceived notions of senior care homes delay decisions.

The specialized memory care communities of today are worlds apart from the “old folks’ home” of yesteryear.

Take a tour of ActivCare at Bressi Ranch and see for yourself.

Call (800) 693-6696 to schedule a visit.

Take a look inward, make the time to talk with family members, consider all the factors and the desired outcomes and find the “right” people, place and environment for those you love that need care.

A rts &Entertainment Playhouse departs from normal material with ‘American Idiot’ arts CALENDAR Send your arts & entertainment news to arts@thecoastnews.com

By Tony Cagala

ESCONDIDO — When the Patio Playhouse Theatre kicks off its 50th season it’ll be with a bang not a whimper.

On June 24, the community theater’s troupe will bring Green Day’s angstfilled “American Idiot” to the stage at Kit Carson Amphitheatre.

“It’s a punk rock opera,” said Matt FitzGerald, the show’s director and Playhouse board member.

It’s also a noticeable departure from their normal repertoire that tends to fall along the lines of being family-friendly.

FitzGerald admitted that it’s one of the more daring productions they’ve done, especially musicals, with the intention of pulling in a different crowd.

But the story is one that has depth to it, FitzGerald said.

Green Day’s album, “American Idiot,” was released in 2004, which later inspired the musical that would appear on Broadway, earn rave reviews and win two Tony awards in 2010.

“There’s something they (Green Day) were trying to say from the very beginning. It just happened to route from the record to the show, instead of the other way around.”

“American Idiot” centers around three restless

JUNE 24 SUMMER AT THE PARK Carlsbad’s TGIF Concerts in the Parks begins from 6 to 8 p.m., June 24, with Pato Banton and the Now Generation — Reggae at Stagecoach Community Park, 3420 Camino de los Coches, Carlsbad. The outdoor concert series runs each Friday through Aug. 19, at Carlsbad’s community parks. For more information, visit carlsbadca.gov/ arts.

young men living in suburbia struggling to find themselves during a time of boredom and malaise.

The story is carried out almost entirely through the music of Green Day and lyrics from Green Day’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, with only a few snippets of dialogue spoken.

And despite the album

being released more than a decade ago, FitzGerald said the message still resonates today.

“The message of the album is weaved into the story and the story, at its core, is a story they’ve been telling forever — which is it’s a story about growing up,” said FitzGerald.

The album came out

while FitzGerald was attending San Diego State University and earning a bachelor’s degree in music. And at 34, he said he’s one of the oldest people involved with the production.

“I have people in the cast that are 16 years old — the album came out when they were 4 years old and it still speaks to them in the

same way,” he said.

The cast, comprised of all volunteer actors (everyone at the Patio Playhouse is a volunteer), has come from all over the county, including Temecula up north to Chula Vista down south.

FitzGerald thinks this might be the first time the TURN TO PLAYHOUSE ON 16

show has been performed in the county since a professional cast toured it in 2013 and that generated excitement in the theater world.

“I’ve been doing theater for a while and I’ve never had a cast locked in this tight,” FitzGerald said.

The show has been described as “high energy,” and “emotional.”

Other casts, FitzGerald has heard them say, is that the performance is like “P90X,” the musical, referring to the extreme home fitness workout program.

In fact, the cast of the Berklee Repertory Theatre (where the show premiered in 2009) had to workout every morning of each day so the actors could stay in shape enough for the performances.

In this case, FitzGerald said the music really helps the actors keep the intensity and energy of the performance at the right level.

“There’s something about the guitar riffs on this album that you need to be alive — they get you there,” he said.

For this particular production, it’s more about the actors getting enough sleep and eating right — the cho-

sion in imparting insights gained through decades of experience in the music industry. His passion for helping others learn about music and the recording arts led him to teaching positions at UC Irvine and several community colleges before landing at MiraCosta College.

“Our music faculty offers a combination of knowledge, skill and experience, all enveloped with a huge dose of passion,” Coobatis said.

The same is true for the social sciences. Just ask Dr. Lynne Miller, a MiraCosta College professor who earned her Ph.D. in anthropology from U.C. Davis and taught at UCLA and UC San Diego before joining the MiraCosta College faculty in 2000. She has been named Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year twice, most recently in 2014. Miller has engaged in research projects from Madagascar to Brazil and for more than 20 years has studied a wild population of capuchin monkeys in Venezuela, exploring their strategies to avoid predators. She spent part of a recent sabbatical in Rwanda observing mountain gorillas.

“Being in the forest with these beautiful animals was absolutely amazing,” she said. “And now I get to weave my experiences into my classrooms.”

reography is toned down a little from the professional version, he explained.

And while this production is his first attempt at directing a musical — rock opera or not — the experience has been a different beast, he said, over directing straight plays.

“It’s had to be more collaborative,” FitzGerald said.

Working with choreography Becky “Bex” Hurt, producer Jennifer McKenna and music director Charles Jirkovsky, has made the experience that much better, he said, because you’re allowed to bounce ideas back and forth between people to create a better end product.

The show is one of two productions that will be performed at the amphitheater as part of the Playhouse’s Plays in the Park series.

The other show this year will be “Beauty and the Beast,” in August.

“It’s exciting for me to have the honor of teeing us off with this show,” FitzGerald said.

“American Idiot” begins June 24 and runs through July 9 at the Kit Carson Amphitheatre, 3333 Bear Valley Pkwy. Tickets are $22 adults; $20 seniors, military and students and available online at patioplayhouse.com.

f you want to call me a Rhonie, I guess I’m guilty as charged. In case you just dropped in from Mars, the Rhone Valley in the south of France is one of the most talked about wine countries in the world.

It’s Syrah’s birthplace and it explodes with certain wildness. At the most recent Rhone tasting at Vittorio’s Trattoria in San Diego, the Estates Group introduced Gerard Bertrand, a leading winery in the southern district of the Rhone.

Crack Shack eyes Encinitas location

By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — When investor Michael Rosen and his chef-partner Richard Blais decided to open up a fried-chicken-centric restaurant in Little Italy last fall, he heard the whispers from others who questioned whether the concept could succeed in health-conscious San Diego.

“I didn’t have doubts, but there were certainly others who pointed out all of the different restaurants opening, Mendocino Farms, Tender Greens, and it certainly seemed like we were bucking the trend,” Rosen said.

But the restaurant — The Crack Shack — has The iconic Crack Shack mascot out front of their Little Italy, San Diego been a resounding success, location. The fried chicken restaurant is hoping to open a new location and now, the owners are ex- in Encinitas later this year. Photo by Aaron Burgin panding to Encinitas.

“We wanted desperately to be in Encinitas,” Rosen said. “It has young families, and such a diverse population and a unique identity. We wanted to be part of that.”

The Crack Shack has acquired the former Coco’s restaurant building on Encinitas Boulevard near Interstate 5 and have submitted plans to the city for an open-air restaurant similar

to the Little Italy location — complete with an outdoor bocce ball court that is a signature of the original eatery.

The restaurant, which features Jidori-style, organic, free-range chicken, has carved out a niche in San Diego, an area that was bereft of a fried-chicken establishment beyond the traditional take-out locations.

“People love fried chicken, but the access has TURN TO CRACK SHACK ON 21

term for buying wine before it’s in the bottle. Carruth usually sells them once a year, but decided to include its Bordeaux-style blends to help celebrate the urban winery’s “rebirth.”

Owner Adam Carruth, a Carlsbad High School graduate, initially brewed beer as a hobby while attending the University of California Riverside.

“My dad helped me develop an appreciation for wine,” he said. “So I moved to Sonoma for three years.

My sister was up there. I started to casually study viticulture. I realized growing grapes was expensive but making a barrel of wine was feasible.”

Carruth moved back to Carlsbad in 2001 and started “trucking fruit” from North-

a peaceful spot to hang out,” she explained. “The ones that were by the road there’s a lot of activity going on.

“So if you’re sitting on the bench you’re probably going to be consumed with what’s going on in front of you, which are the dogs playing, families and volleyball,” Hinsley said. “But this particular bench, when you go up there, you’re pretty much all alone and the view is phenomenal.

“You can see all the way to the racetrack and all the way to La Jolla,” she added. “So it’s really a wonderful place to go and just hang out and meditate.”

After making the $1,500 donation Hinsley settled on the inscription, which reads, “Love is infinite. Share it now. Sprinkle it vastly. Love to all.

cupants based on onsite parking availability.

The preferred minimum length of stay was 30 days, with seven days being ranked second.

Noel Quintana, who owns vacation rentals in Del Mar and Mission Bay, said he’s had more problems with tenants who rent for longer periods of time.

He said many two-day renters are in town for a specific event, such as the horse races or a concert.

He said the longer people stay, the more comfortable they get and they tend to be in more of a party mode.

Overall attendees favored no limit on the number of days per month or year a unit could be used as a short-term rental. Limiting it to a certain number of days per month ranked second.

Using the rationale that the more liability a property manager and renter have for ensuring neighborhood behavior during the rental period, the less likely it will be for disruptive behavior

“That’s where I got the slogan, ‘Bringing grapes to the people,’” he said.

Initially he made wine in his backyard, one barrel at a time. Six years ago he opened Carruth Cellars at 320 S. Cedros, where he made and sold his wines, held daily tastings and hosted private parties.

In the limited space he could produce about 100 barrels and 2,000 cases of wine annually. When a larger facility just down the street at 118 S. Cedros became available he decided to make the move, which would allow him to double his output.

After about a year of acquiring permits and renovations the new Carruth Cellars opened early last month.

The original location will be used for private parties that in the past have included everything from cor-

porate events to a birthday party for a dog. A third tasting room will open in Carlsbad Village next month.

Carruth said he likes to keep close to the coast because it’s where he grew up, it’s beautiful and it’s better for aging wine.

Carruth believes in giving back to the community that supports him.

While best-known for his Surfing Madonna wine, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, he also helps other charities, such as Corks for a Cause and the Global Mosaic Project.

The fruits of his labor — award-winning wines and a growing business — have been successful because of “the quality of fruit we bring in and a lot of nice people.”

“And we put a lot of love into the wine we make,” he added.

thing much more meaningful to me and that’s love,” she said. “The fact of the matter is, love is infinite whether someone’s here or not.

“Love goes on forever,” she added. “I’m hoping as people sit on the bench they’ll share it with the person they’re with. And when they go out in the world they’ll keep love going because after all, especially after this last month, I think it’s time to focus on some of the good stuff.”

Some of that “good stuff” includes her other passion — dogs.

“The fact that it is at Dog Beach was just thrilling to me,” she said. “I tried to find an organization that has to do with dogs. I came across Shelter to Soldier.”

The organization adopts canines from local shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 combat veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

“I just thought that was the perfect marriage,”

Hinsley said. “If people have a few dollars they want to donate I hope that they’ll donate it to Shelter to Soldier through my Facebook page.”

To help spread the love Hinsley will hold an onsite bench-warming party at 4 p.m. July 2. She said she hopes representatives from Shelter to Soldier and the city, friends, family and residents will attend.

It will be followed by “a no-host toast to the love bench” at a nearby restaurant.

Hinsley told her adult children it would be great if they were engaged at the family love bench. She is also encouraging people to add photos with inspirational messages to her Facebook page, facebook.com/ theLoveBenchDelMar. “But most of all I’m hoping our bench will be there long after I’m gone and that my kids will keep it going,” she said. “And who knows, maybe their kids as well, because this bench’s sole purpose is to remind people to love each other.”

to occur, six options were listed under rental operator requirements.

They included posting local property manager contact information in a visible exterior location, providing renters with a rules and regulations manual and a minimum time to respond to complaints.

In general, attendees favored most of the options, adding that immediate neighbors should be notified that a home would be used as an STR. Many of the table groups seemed to include an even mix of supporters and opponents of short-term rentals, but some clearly were dominated by people on one side of the issue or the other.

“As you can tell there are a lot of possibilities,” Councilman Terry Sinnott said after all the tables reported out. “This will take a lot of community debates and discussions.”

In past meetings and discussions council members and the community seem almost evenly divided on the issue. Councilman Dwight Worden said his mind is still open.

“I’m learning,” he said.

“When the dust settles I want to make sure we do the best job we can as a city.”

Councilman Don Mosier said all options are still on the table, including a ban. He said the workshop was a way to reach a consensus on regulations “so we don’t have to take that step.”

Most owners who rent out their properties have said in the past that they support reasonable regulations, such as a good-neighbor policy. Many said they have been in the business for years and have never had any problems.

In fact, some wondered just how pervasive the issues are.

“We’ve been a vacation spot since the 1920s,” Rudolph Rhett said. “I don’t see a problem. ... I’m not seeing any indication that these very expensive houses in the beach colony are being used as frat houses.

City staff members will compile all the input from individual and group worksheets and present the findings to council at an upcoming meeting.

Music fest organizers to host public meeting DEL MAR — In preparation for KAABOO Del Mar 2016, an entertainment event, scheduled for Sept. 16 through Sept. 18, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the KAABOO Del Mar event organizers, in conjunction with the 22nd District Agricultural Association (San Diego County Fairgrounds), are hosting a community meeting July 6, to address community questions and concerns about the event.

nesses were willing to contribute and be part of an off-site parking lot. The site location was at the First Church of Christ Scientist on La Flecha and the estimated cost was $10,000 for a six-month pilot program.

changed,” Rosen said. “I don’t know many people who want to go on a date or take their friends out to a Popeye’s or a KFC, so we felt that we would be successful by making it a location where you could do this. Where I felt we took a chance was by serving Jidori chicken, which costs a lot more, would people be willing to pay more for a higher-quality product.

That has been the strategy, and it is really gratifying to see it pay off.”

occasionally Cinsaut. The southern Rhone region is clearly a marriage of warmer weather, rockier soil and the Mediterranean influence, where Grenache is king.

There is no wildness, only a smooth, visceral, velvety pattern of gracious flavor. Marcus Mizzau of The Estate Group presented each of the dinner wines from Gerard Bertrand, articulating its prominence in Languedoc.

“The focus is on quality with this wine,” Mizzau said. “The best example is the 2013 Chateaux l’Hospitalet ‘La Reserve’ La Clape, Coteaux du Languedoc ($17 at the dinner) which absorbs long summer heat, rocky soil and a higher elevation than most. Here we have Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre in perfect harmony.”

To reach the Fairgrounds Board Room, enter the main gate from Jimmy Durante Boulevard and drive toward the farthest southwest portion of the parking lot. Park there and walk west through the chain link fence gate.

The Board Room is one story building which also houses Human Resources and Marketing.

“The survey basically says that five out of 41 (Village businesses), which is a core of the census, would consider it,” he said, referring to the off-site parking pilot program.

Board Director Heather Slosar voiced her disappointment that more businesses wouldn’t consider a two-block walk to assist with the Village parking efforts.

“I’m shocked they won’t,” she said.

Farrar assured the board that the sample they

received was good because they literally stopped at every business.

Board director Jerry Yahr noted that a business, which was very vocal about the lack of parking in the past, was absent from the list provided.

Farrar agreed that there were a few, but staff went back twice and were not able to receive a response.

“We did our very, very best and we have the details of that survey if you’d like to see it,” Farrar said.

from Coast Highway 101, which has been a preferred location for higher-end restaurants, but Rosen said he feels the Encinitas Boulevard location has some benefits as well.

“While the proximity to the freeway played zero role during the selection, I have seen how people exit the highway to go to the In-N-Out and it makes me excited, because having a unique, family-friendly sit-down restaurant may be an alternative that people will gravitate toward,” Rosen said. “And while we would have liked to be on the coast, there is a certain contingent of peo-

ple who believe there are already too many restaurants and beer-serving establishments there that have made it incredibly challenging to locate on the coast.

“But I think this location isn’t too far removed from the coast, and it is surrounded by a very diverse population, and parking is plentiful,” Rosen added.

Rosen said they expect to have a hearing before the Encinitas Planning Commission in August and, if all goes according to plan, the new location could open in December or January.

a rugged, mountainous body of land whose western boundary includes the Apennines and its highest peak on mainland Italy, Corno Grande.

To the east lies the Adriatic Sea. Its most popular native grape is Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, although there is no known tie to Montepulciano, a medieval city in Tuscany that draws 8.5 million visitors a year.

In Abruzzo, near the city of L’Aquila is the Nazzare Winery.

It has joined a special team of marketing professionals in wine, olive oil and natural sauces, in a move to gain a greater share of Italian table products. The organization is Re d’Abruzzo.

Nazzare wines include Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Pecorino and Cerasuolo.

The minerality is complex and intriguing, with red berry, and black pepper, and subtle hints of oregano. And here’s an amazing statistic: Abruzzo has only 38 percent of the vineyard land that Tuscany has — yet it produces 40 million cases of wine — twice the amount of production than that of Tuscany.

RANCHO SANTA FE — Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 28th Annual Spring Fling Gala treated guests to “An Evening in Oz” in the Fairbanks Village Plaza in Rancho Santa Fe. The sold-out June 4 festivities were enjoyed by 400 guests who celebrated the evening, along with their four-footed friends.

The event raised a net of $363,000, to be donated to support the pets and the programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Hosts were Joe and Terri Davis, title sponsors Ed and Sandy Burr of EDCO and Gala Committee Chairwoman Ann Dizney, who also served as the Gala’s Restaurant Chairwoman.

When the “live” auctions began, Gala attendees demonstrated their true devotion to the Center. Top bids ranged from $22,000 for a 5-day Park Avenue Penthouse Getaway (generously donated by Center

supporter and donor Linda Brandes); $14,000 for a Mini Cooper S Convertible; $11,000 for a boxing glove signed by the late Muhammad Ali; and a collective $116,000 raised for the Center’s “Fund-an-Item” Programs – Adoptions Emergency Medical Care and the Companion Animal Hospital’s Military Fund.

“This event touches my heart every year,” said Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO Mike Arms. “Each contributor, from the guests to the restaurants to the sponsors and donors, come together for the purpose of changing the world for orphan pets. It’s a truly beautiful night.”

For more information on Helen Woodward Animal Center or to make a donation, visit animalcenter.org or call (858) 756-4117. You may also stop by Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6461 El Apajo Road, Rancho Santa Fe in Rancho Santa Fe.

Don’t let her concerned expression fool you. This week’s Helen Woodward Animal Shelter pet, Darcy, a 9-month-old, 7-pound, Chihuahua/Terrier blend, is a little shy.

She would do well with a family who knows how to give a good doggy-pep-talk and does quiet activities like reading and napping.

She has been altered and is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $227 and as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, is micro-chipped for identification. Helen Woodward
