RSF Tennis Club survey critiqued

By Christina Macone-Greene with the way some of the

RANCHO SANTA FE — A recent independent survey sent to RSF Tennis Club members was done in an effort to determine if members were in agreement to the proposed Covenant Club location: the Tennis Club and Golf Club campus.

Despite the intent, it has faced criticism from some.

According to Dave Van Den Berg, former president of the Tennis Club, the impetus of The Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club’s Covenant Club Survey was sent after receiving a recent presentation of the conceptual site options.

“Most of the Covenant Club designs had a very major impact on the Tennis Club, either taking out courts or over the footprint of the Tennis Club. As a result, we went to our membership to find out how they felt because it was an important thing to get this feedback,” Van Den Berg said.

The survey creation, he said, was Tennis Club board approved.

“The survey shows that 80 percent of our membership does not want our footprint used for the development of the Covenant Club,” he said.

Tennis Club Board President Barbara McClanahan said that she felt very confident that the Board was representing the majority of its membership due to the results of the survey.

Conversely, fellow Tennis Club Board member Scott DeGoler had another opinion regarding the survey.

“While close to 50 percent of tennis respondents said they favored the concept of adding a health club, I was disappointed

other survey questions were worded,” he said.

“For instance, the survey noted the health club could be built ‘over the current footprint of tennis club’ resulting in the ‘destruction, replacement and relocation’ of up to six courts,” he said. “Obviously, most tennis members were not in favor of ‘destruction’ of their courts but perhaps didn’t understand that they would always have 12 courts and the ‘footprint’ impact may be minimal. As a Tennis Board member, I would have like to have seen and had input to the survey so that it was not misleading.

However, I was not permitted to review it prior to distribution.”

Van Den Berg said he is well aware of those who are questioning the survey.

“The process we used in the survey is the exact same process being used by the Design Committee,” he said. “We set up a survey committee. The Board approved the survey and distributed it. So, I guess it depends on whether you like the answers or not or whether you agreed with the process.”

McClanahan admits she initially voted for the Covenant Club feasibility study.

“But at that time I was envisioning a smaller workout facility and a pool,” she said, adding she was not expecting a 15,000 to 17,000 square foot resort.

McClanahan pointed out that most of the designs have a pool very close to the Tennis Club.

She added that this noise factor does not fare well within the tennis culture.

Request for proposals for polo field lease extended

By Bianca Kaplanek

REGION — A request for proposals for a potential new tenant on land best known as the polo fields was extended for 30 days after an interested party requested additional time.

The proposer said a site visit raised “many previously unconsidered questions,” resulting in a need for more information to “assemble a viable proposal.”

The new deadline is 4 p.m. Oct. 14. After that the city will convene a five-member review panel to assess all submissions.

The final decision will be made by the San Diego City Council.

The San Diego Polo Club, the current tenant, has submitted a proposal.

“Polo would certainly like to be there,” said Steve Lewandowski, community relations director for the club and match announcer for the past 25 years.

“We’ve been there for 29 years. This would give us a lot more ability to plan ahead.”

A 120-acre site on the corner of Via de la Valle and El Camino Real was deeded in 1982 to the city of San Diego as mitigation for open space lost when increased residential development was allowed in the river valley.

In October 1984 it was divided into two usable parcels. Sixty acres were designated for a polo facility and 20 were authorized

for an equestrian center.

The other 40 acres were to remain open space.

In 1986 the San Diego Polo Club entered into a 26year lease, which expired on March 31, 2012.

Because the property hadn’t been out to bid for more than two decades, city officials felt doing so was appropriate. But an RFP was never issued, primarily because of an ongoing project to widen El Camino Real.

Since then the polo club has occupied the prop-

erty on a month-to-month basis. Polo classes, charity fundraisers, soccer and lacrosse tournaments, sporting games for college recruitment, seasonal sales, horse boarding and youth soccer practice also take place at the site.

Those activities have come under fire from environmental groups such as the Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley. They say the current uses, along with the traffic and noise they generate, are negatively impacting the river

valley.

According to the RFP, San Diego’s Real Estate Assets Department is seeking proposals to lease the property for activities, programs and operations in accordance with the deed.

Each proposal should reflect the city’s goal to have an operator who provides a high level of service to the public and provides related activities in a fiscally responsible manner that preserves and improves TURN TO POLO FIELD ON 20

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Association gave center stage to John Honker, president of Magellan Advisors, to provide his comprehensive fiber optic feasibility study. Following an in-depth presentation, the Association agreed that the “partnership model” approach was the most optimal which triggered the unanimous approval for a RFQP (request for qualifications and proposals).

The Association is readying to seek bids.

Among the Association’s roster of tasks to tackle, bringing broadband services through fiber-optics to the Ranch has been a top-shelf priority for better Internet services.

Honker wanted the Association and members in attendance to know that Magellan Advisors has helped communities across the country and developers both plan and implement broadband strategies.

Over the past few months, Magellan has evaluated different options for Rancho Santa Fe. Reviewing different options, it was the partnership model which Honker encouraged.

“Many communities across the country are moving to this,” he said, adding how it would en-

and the provider.

He described it as a public private partnership.

Honker went on to say that this co-investment would offer a “sharing of the returns in the network.”

While a provider would receive their required rate of return, he said, royalties would also be generated back to Ranch Santa Fe. According to Honker, the partnership model created the greatest value for the community.

“It does give you some buy-in and some stake in the network that the provider is bringing to the table depending on how much you decide to invest in,” he said. “Whether you decided to invest a very small amount to a very large amount, it will commensurate the amount of control and commensurate the amount of returns in revenue shares with that partner that you bring to the table.”

Honker added that their company has seen communities across the nation taking part in this model.

And in addition to getting better rates and services, communities are also receiving better control with the provider they ultimately choose.

The importance of completing the Coast to Crest Trail

By Trish Boaz

Arnold helped pave the way for ‘the Donald’ California Focus

By Thomas D. Elias Parallels between current presidential candidate Donald Trump and ex-California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger are myriad and obvious to anyone who cares to look.

Both are celebrities with no need to spend money on getting-to-knowyou TV commercials like ordinary candidates for high office. Both went after political offices after pursuing lucrative careers not even slightly related to running a government.

Each claimed not to need special interest money, since both are rolling in dough.

Neither has shown the slightest worry about the rumors or reality of his womanizing past and (maybe) present. Voters male and female have never shown signs of worry about their personal indiscretions.

Trump’s flashy campaign style, featuring his blue-painted personal jumbo jet and occasional rides for kids in his personal helicopter apes Schwarzenegger’s practice of constantly surrounding himself with klieg lights and aides attired in expensive leather jackets festooned with Arnold-related logos.

Because he campaigned only in California, Schwarzenegger never needed a jumbo like Trump’s Boeing 757, but could make do with a mere private jet he kept at the Santa Monica Airport, not far from his home in Brentwood’s Mandeville Canyon.

The similarities go on and on, the largest of them being that their support levels are never diminished by their errors, ignorance or sins. It’s almost as if both were Kardashians, members of a dynasty founded by a lawyer pal of accused and acquitted wife-killer O.J. Simpson, Robert Kardashian, who was long suspected of de-

stroying or hiding key evidence sought by police.

That background has never held back any member of his clan.

Nor has the way Arnold and The Donald ignore the old caution to “be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth into gear.”

Several months into the campaign for next year’s Republican presidential nomination, Trump continues to lead the GOP field, where the No. 2 spot in the polls fluctuates unpredictably.

As with Schwarzenegger, and decades earlier with actor Ronald Reagan, Democrats don’t yet see Trump as a serious threat.

He puts foot in mouth at least once a week, rarely apologizing and never backing off what would be serious gaffes for any non-celebrity.

Consistency also doesn’t matter, as Trump has changed positions on everything from abortion to immigration. When he entered politics, the muscleman actor Schwarzenegger didn’t have prior positions he could contradict.

But he frequently broke promises, including the first one he made as a recall election candidate in 2003.

Starting his run on NBC-TV’s Tonight Show, Schwarzenegger vowed never to accept “special interest” money. Then he immediately began accepting campaign contributions from oil companies, car dealers and almost any interest willing to write a check.

He also promised to order an independent investigation into allegations he groped and otherwise sexually harassed women.

It never happened. There were many others.

Once he became governor, it quickly became clear Schwarzenegger had little notion of how to run America’s largest state government.

He began by threatening public employee unions, who famously

whipped him in every ballot initiative contest they fought. He gave orders to the state attorney general, only to be reminded that independently-elected official did not work for him.

He appointed a former utility company president to regulate that company as president of the California Public Utilities Commission.

Would Trump, who has bragged about taking advantage of federal bankruptcy laws because “everyone else in my position does,” display similar desires to be a kind of strongman? There’s little doubt he would bring at least as much bombast to the office.

Democrats who now belittle Trump’s White House chances because he doesn’t pepper his speeches with many facts or pay much heed to what he could do by himself if elected should remember Reagan, who as a campaigner also did not bother much with facts.

When faced with tough questions in the early months of his winning 1980 campaign, he often turned toward the wings offstage, saying “I’ll let Ed (Meese) answer that one,” referring to a top aide he later appointed U.S. attorney general. When an opponent rattled off facts and pointed out his contradictions during debates, he grinned wryly into the camera and said, “There he goes again.”

And he always won easily. So might Trump if Democrats keep taking him lightly.

That’s the lesson for them from Reagan and Schwarzenegger, the only other big-time celebrities to seek the highest office they possibly could.

Big ideas are born when people share their dreams and pull together to make things happen!

A perfect example of this is the creation of an amazing river park in the center of the county, called the San Dieguito River Park.

A small group of friends gathered around a dinner table in Del Mar to express their concerns about the alarming loss of wildlife habitat, sensitive plants and open space near their homes, due to the residential and commercial development boom of the ‘80s.

Talk led to action and in 1986, this passionate crew formed the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy.

Along with their predecessors, the San Dieguito Lagoon Committee and the Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley, they gained the attention of their local elected officials and other leaders who realized that the need for housing, public facilities and infrastructure for a growing population needed to be balanced with conservation of our natural and cultural resources.

And so, the San Dieguito

River Park Joint Powers Authority was created to develop and implement the vision of the 55-mile-long San Dieguito River Park and the Coast to Crest Trail that stretches from the Del Mar shoreline to the Julian mountains.

During the last 29 years, a lot of sweat equity has gone into planning and constructing the 35 miles of the Coast to Crest Trail that are now open to the public, along with an additional 20 miles of trails that connect local communities to the Coast to Crest Trail.

The Coast to Crest Trail provides the community with access to our beautiful parks and open spaces including the San Dieguito Lagoon, a state marine- conservation area, and a popular spot for birds along the Pacific Flyway.

The trek from Santa Fe Valley, through Del Dios Gorge to Lake Hodges, over the David Kretizer Pedestrian Bicycle Bridge (the longest stress-ribbon bridge in the world!), past historic Sikes Adobe, and through San Pasqual Valley are 23 continuous miles of pure heaven right in our own backyard.

Trails at Volcan Moun-

tain lead to the summit, rewarding hikers with amazing views of the Anza Borrego State Park, Cuyamaca State Park, Cleveland National Forest and the San Dieguito and San Diego River watersheds, including downtown San Diego and the Pacific Ocean.

Along with our partners, we are making huge strides in completing key linkages of the Coast to Crest Trail at Lusardi Creek, Pamo Valley and Santa Ysabel.

We are fortunate to have a trail that traverses urban, rural and remote areas of the county, providing us with an array of scenic vistas, sights of beautiful plants and wildlife, smells of nature and great exercise.

The momentum to complete the Coast to Crest Trail continues to build and support for the trail grows as people become more aware of its existence and experience it for themselves. You really do feel a sense of place —and peace—when you are on the Coast to Crest Trail. But don’t take our word for it—come see for yourself!

Trish Boaz is executive director of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy.

Eco kits bring environmental awareness into the classrooms

By Tony Cagala

ESCONDIDO — The half-dozen or so fish swam blissfully unaware that they’ve been intertwined in a symbiotic relationship with the rows of small leafy green plants sprouting just above them.

But for anyone observing the aquarium, one of nature’s cycles was on full display — the swimming fish and their waste providing nutrients enough for the seeds to sprout and grow, and the plants’ roots filtering the water, providing oxygen enough for the fish to breathe.

Apart from fish food and electricity, nothing else was needed for the process to occur in this way.

“It’s a self-sufficient little loop,” said Morgan Bailey, Ph.D., operations director at ECOLIFE, the Escondido-based nonprofit that has been putting together these aquaponics kits they’re calling the ECO-CYCLE. The idea behind the kits initially was to try and reach as many people as possible, explained Mike Ready, ECOLIFE’s aquaponics program manager.

Even as aquaponics has been around for a very long time, Ready said they realized it would be difficult to convert people that were already involved in the traditional methods of farming.

Aquaponics is a way of showing a different model of doing things, said Bailey.

And so the nonprofit turned to students around the nation with the idea that the younger minds could view the world and their interactions with the environment differently to form a new foundation of solutions to some of the larger issues facing the next generations.

So far, more than 400 kits have been installed in classrooms around the country, with about 375 of them in San Diego County schools, according to Bailey.

ECOLIFE is donating some of the kits to local schools, including within the Vista Unified School District and in Escondido.

Starting next week, Vista will receive teacher training and 15 kits for use in classrooms around the district.

And later in the year 15 more kits will go into Escondido school classrooms.

Monte Vista Elementary received a kit last year.

Their school was the first

in Vista’s school district to receive one of the kits, according to the Monte Vista Elementary’s Principal Charlene Smith.

Smith applied for the kit as part of a fifth-grade classroom service-learning project in conjunction with Solutions Farms, also based in Vista.

“The students were investigating different solutions for repurposing fish sediment that collects in the pump,” she said. “And the children actually got to see the plants growing and the fish growing and feeding off of the plants and they got to see the whole cycle.”

The classroom is using the kit once again this year, Smith said.

“It’s real-life experience,” she added. “This brought it right into the classroom and they got to live it everyday…it was practical experience for them.”

Kait Cole, outreach coordinator at ECOLIFE, said, from the teacher’s perspective, the kit is a new tool for them to use. It’s a way to visually learn complex science standards such as the nitrogen cycle and photosynthesis, beyond the textbooks, she added.

Apart from the scientific components being taught is the side benefit of kids learning about healthy eating.

If a student watches kale grow, for instance, Cole explained, they might be more eager to try it, rather than have it show up on a plate in front of them.

“A lot of kids, they don’t necessarily know where their food comes from, especially in urban San Diego areas…and this TURN TO KITS ON 20

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center was filled to hear Susan Taylor, a former news anchor for NBC San Diego. After retiring from broadcast journalism a few years ago, Taylor decided to embark on a new career venture with Scripps Health as their executive director and external affairs.

“I was in the TV news business for more than 30 years,” she said. “I came to work at Scripps because of a very complicated open heart surgery that my father had back in 2008. He was in a coma for almost two months,” she said.

During this time, Taylor was dividing her time between being with her father at the hospital, spending time with her husband and son, and anchoring morning and evening shows for NBC San Diego.

Taylor said she would sometimes return to Scripps at midnight and

also there trying to figure out the right combination of things to save her dad’s life.

“And he did,” she said.

Taylor said the people in CCU worked 24 hours a day, around the clock, to keep her father alive.

During that time, Taylor was impressed with the culture and how the hospital truly treated everyone like family.

It was an exclusive environment to work in, she said. As that realization emerged, Taylor admitted that she wasn’t home as much as she wanted to be in her current line of work.

“I had a small window of opportunity left to be with my family before our son went off to college,” she said. Taylor continued, “I thought perhaps I should stop talking about car chases, murders, rapes and fires and talk about creating things. And that’s TURN TO TAYLOR ON 20

or the past 16 years, one of the best tickets in town has been a subscription to Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe. Ticket holders enjoy an eclectic variety of musicians from across the word with the added benefits of wine (compliments of Northern Trust), hors d’oeuvres, a coffee and dessert bar plus free parking with no need to travel downtown.

This easy-going approach to top-tier entertainment has kept subscribers coming back year after year.

And the new season starting Oct. 9 promises to be the best ever featuring award-winning Canadian vocalists Vivace followed in the coming months by big band performers, country rock artists and a famed Celtic music troupe.

Community Concerts started with classical mu-

Gail Kendall

sic troupes and pre-concert gatherings featuring potluck suppers at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club.

The increasing number of patrons and festive atmosphere eventually outgrew this venue and the music expanded to include rock, folk, R&B and big-band headliners.

The resulting concert series now held at the Village Church Fellowship Hall has been a resounding hit.

Thanks to a partnership with Live on Stage, a professional representative of outstanding musical talent, Community Concerts is able to bring exciting talent to North County each fall

and spring.

Attendees continue to rave about the performers and they continue to donate thousands of dollars to help Community Concerts with its extensive outreach efforts.

This concert series really does emphasize the community by hosting free mini-concerts for local school children.

On a regular basis, scheduled artists meet with grade school or high school students, encouraging young people to learn more about music.

The musicians regale the students with stories about how they got started, enlighten them about their musical genre and instruments, and answer lots and lots of questions.

Over the past several years several Community Concerts musical artists have spent afternoons at Roger Rowe Middle School, La Jolla Country Day, Camp Pendleton Middle School, The Cambridge School, The Preuss School UCSD, and Canyon Crest High School.

This year country rock band Savannah Jack will bring their tight harmonies

and incredible musicianship to a very lucky local school.

Thanks to generous donors, Community Concerts will extend its reach in the coming years by awarding grants to fund school musical programs which may include paying for instruments, band uniforms or trips to musical competitions all in an effort toward fostering the next generation of San Diego musical talent.

This season’s concert line-up is already generating a great deal of excitement with ticket sales at a steady pace.

Plans are in the works for a special 2016 springtime concert featuring a 10-piece band and vocalists in a dinner-theater format.

It will be the perfect way to cap off another great season for Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe. For more information on the current season or to order tickets, please visit ccrsf.org.

Gail Kendall is president of the board of directors, Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe.

Rancho Santa Fe homeowners form group RANCHO SANTA FE — In June 2015, a group of Rancho Santa Fe homeowners got together to discuss the proposed Covenant Club (CC) and to trade any information they had regarding the site, the financing, and the scope.

It became quite clear that there were so many unsubstantiated rumors floating around the room that the group decided they needed to unravel the facts and to form an educated opinion regarding the proposed project — thus the RSF Homeowners Group was formed.

The information and opinions may be accessed by anyone through their website at rsfhomeownersgroup.com.

The group felt that the process of the Covenant Club Committee was flawed.

The information was

not being disseminated in a clear and easy way that the community could follow.

No one was sure that the proposed Covenant Club was going to be built with the understated elegance that is in keeping with the Rancho Santa Fe way of life.

Tom Ault, chairman of the group, said, “The homeowners in the room decided to create a formal group with a steering committee which would and does meet once a week. Our goals and objectives are to ensure that any pool/fitness center is designed in keeping with the unique ambience of the Ranch.

“Many of us are golf and tennis club members and we felt a need to protect the RSF Golf Club and RSF Tennis Club from any changes that might jeopardize their mission and vision. As all of

us are homeowners, we wanted to ensure that in keeping with Covenant precedents, any new club in RSF, including the proposed pool/fitness center, is paid for and financially sustained by its own membership.”

The RSF Homeowners Group started with 20 Covenant homeowners, and is currently around 300 homeowners and growing daily.

“It’s a testament to the hunger for information that is not easily or clearly obtained,” Ault said.

The steering committee gathers information from the Association, The CC Design Review Committee, The CC Membership/Marketing Committee, The CC Financial Committee and all public presentations.

They read all information relevant to the project, and share what they learn

with members.

Important dates are posted as well so the members can participate in any open meetings.

Bill Johnson, chairman in charge of communications, said, “We will analyze the facts and based on that information, we will determine if the project aligns with our mission and objectives. If not, we will oppose it.

“If we decide to oppose the project, we will coordinate a campaign to inform all RSF residents why we oppose it and ask for their support and vote. We feel it is imperative that all homeowners have an informed and educated opinion on how the CC project will affect the Ranch before they vote.

Crafting North County: Local Brewers Selling Out? crafting north county vince vasquez

E

arlier this month, international conglomerate MillerCoors announced it was purchasing majority control of St. Archer Brewing Company, a craft brewer based in Mira Mesa.

While some criticized the move as selling out to Big Beer, it opens a key industry leadership opportunity for North County.

Unlike prior acquisitions of American craft brewers, few details were disclosed about the St. Archer-MillerCoors agreement. The financial condition and management status of St. Archer have not been disclosed, nor at this point are they likely to be. There is some evidence to suggest that this sale may be providing some sorely needed debt relief and personnel restructuring.

On a positive note, pay, benefits and hours are likely to increase for workers.

Product quality will also certainly improve with the professional guidance and vast resources of one of the world’s largest breweries.

Historically, most corporate acquisitions in San Diego have ended up with the local company closing up shop and shipping good-paying jobs to the headquarters of the new parent company, all for cost-saving purposes. It’s clear that that won’t happen with St. Archer and MillerCoors. St. Archer has announced it is staying in San Diego, and MillerCoors has been in the midst of a strategic corporate reorganization, relying more on their “craft” portfolio and producing less beer overall. Long term, it will be leaning on St. Archer and other acquisitions like it for growth and profitability.

Over the coming years, we can reasonably expect more craft brewers to be partnering with, or be purchased by, international beverage conglomerates, including those based in San Diego. For North County’s 30-plus breweries and brewpubs, such a move would be a major shake-up in a community that prides itself on a strong reputation for independent, artisan, high-quality brews.

Lucrative offers will certainly be forthcoming.

Would a Big Beer acquisition in North County be bad for local business?

It depends on who you ask.

Complicating matters is that craft brewers nationwide have struggled to define what it means to be “craft.”

When a craft brewer sells their business or partners with a macro brewer,

there is also no formal process to determine whether they’re still part of the craft community. Perhaps there should be one — starting in North County.

An accredited certifying agent that certifies craft breweries and brewpubs in the United States could provide both the industry and consumers some needed guidance. A rigorous review process could determine whether a brewer is craft — and when it ceases to be. Distinctive product seals could identify certified craft beers, providing important information in a marketplace distorted by “crafty” marketing and million dollar ad campaigns.

It’s important to note that one of the world’s most prominent organic food certification agencies, Quality Assurance International, has been based in San Diego for more than 25 years. A craft beer certification agency based in North County would complement the presence of major craft brewers in our backyard, including Stone Brewing Company based in Escondido, and Mother Earth Brewing in Vista.

I don’t begrudge St. Archer for selling control of their business to SABMiller. There is no singular path to success in the brewing industry. Still, the craft brewing community needs to come to terms with their rapid pace of growth, and the need to seize control of their collective craft “brand.” Otherwise, marketing dollars from their competitors will do it for them.

A peek into the Vibrancy Committee

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Rancho Santa Fe Association board President Ann Boon, shared with members and fellow board directors updates about the Village Planning Task Force. Since the official announcement, she said, several meetings have taken place and an “active subcommittee” named the Vibrancy Committee has emerged.

In an effort to revitalize the Village, Boon wanted everyone to know that SLP Urban Planning, owned by covenant resident Stacey Pennington, would help navigate the creation of some revitalizing experiences.

Along with Pennington, co-chairs of the Vibrancy Committee also coined as the “Village Vibe” are Sarah Neal and Janet Lawless Christ.

Boon then turned the topic over to Pennington whose Power Point presentation highlighted future events for the Village. Pennington grew up in RSF and wanted to help reinvigorate the Village she once knew.

I’ve become an urban planner where much of my professional focus has been in the efforts to revitalize Downtown San Diego, but they’ve also been frankly all over the world.”

Ann Boon RSF Association Board President

Now having returned to the Ranch with her own family, her professional expertise can help assist with the Association’s goals.

“I’ve become an urban planner where much of my professional focus has been in the efforts to revitalize Downtown San Diego, but they’ve also been frankly all over the world,” she said.

After speaking up at a couple of board meetings, she said, it occurred to Pennington that her experience and expertise could assist the Village.

Pennington wanted everyone to know that the purpose of this committee

was to work with the community, stakeholders and the existing entities in town to truly create a renewed energy within the Village. And not only just day-to-day, she said, but a more community charged level with long-term planning efforts.

“One of the best ways to gather community engagement is through the activation of the Village,” she said.

“So it’s basically community gatherings that form the future of Rancho Santa Fe Village.”

She went on to say that Village Vibe intends to organize a series of gatherings to bring the community togeth-

er and a forum to reengage.

Pennington outlined how one layer would be on a casual rotating biweekly basis. The other layer, she said, would be seasonal events where they would collaborate with the Inn, school, and community center.

These bi-weekly Village events will be held on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This timeframe compliments the RSF Secret Car Club’s weekend car show.

“We refer to it as a popup event, but that basically just means that for a few hours you’d see activities, lawn games, seats, tables and chairs and, maybe a fashion vendor or two,” she said, noting that these were the examples to add a little more fun in the dynamics of the Village.

Events are slated to begin in late September.

Seasonal family events include Oktoberfest on Sept.

27 at the Inn as well as Halloween. The Inn will be creating their Haunted House which Pennington called a TURN TO VIBRANCY ON 20

Conquering arthritis: From herbs to stem cells Living in ‘no This article is the fourth in a series of educational pieces by Alexandra R. Bunyak, MD; she is the founder of the innovative regenerative medicine practice BOUNDLESS, a sports, spine, and arthritis care clinic in Encinitas.

Arthritis is an ancient degenerative condition — evidence of its ravages can be found in all animals dating back to the dinosaurs — but the most modern of scientific knowledge and techniques are being used to manage and even conquer its effects.

Strategies from herbal therapies to the latest stem cell treatment are helping people decrease symptoms, improve function, and delay or avoid joint replacement surgery.

What follows are answers to questions patients are asking in my clinic.

What is arthritis and what are the different types?

Arthritis is defined as pain, stiffness, and inflammation of the joints. There are two main categories of arthritis: 1. Inflammatory arthritis (ex: rheumatoid arthritis): a set of less common conditions causing severe inflammation of multiple joints at once and associated with systemic autoimmune disease, and 2. Degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis): charac-

3. There are a multitude of anti-inflammatory supplements on the market, including tumeric, ginger, boswellia, glucosamine, and flavocoxids, that help reduce inflammation without the side effects of pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories such as Advil.

terized by damage to the cartilage, instability of the joint, milder inflammation, and bony overgrowth of one or a few of joints.

The majority of my patients have this more common type of arthritis.

Is surgery the only option for osteoarthritis?

Today we are no longer limited to passively waiting for the arthritis to reach severe enough proportions to require joint replacement. Additionally, many joints do not have an effective replacement option at this time.

Recent advances in arthritis treatment allow us to help stabilize the joints, decrease inflammation, and stimulate regrowth of

cartilage, potentially slowing arthritis progression and improving pain and function for years.

What are the best natural/ holistic approaches for arthritis?

There are many things you can do yourself to improve your arthritis symptoms: 1. Engage in physical activity: shown to improve joint stability, decrease abnormal stresses by improving muscular control, improve nutritional supply to the joints, and control weight and inflammation.

2. Diet plays a key role: make sure you eat an anti-inflammatory diet rich in necessary nutrients for joint health.

tion. Research has shown that these treatments can regrow cartilage and increase the stability of a joint.

Of these, fat-derived stem cell therapies appear to be the most effective in moderate to severe arthritis, helping over 90 percent of arthritis sufferers appreciate relief of pain and In addition, there are improvement of function many natural/holistic ap- for years. proaches that are available to you with the help of your How do I know which reintegrative/regenerative generative approach I musculoskeletal physician: should choose?

Solar’s economic benefit to run out up to a year early San Diego County homeowners are taking advantage of the economic benefits of installing solar systems at higher rate than other counties, so much that the benefits will soon be gone.

One of the two main economic drivers behind the stellar growth of solar, over $4 billion in the last three years, is on track to expire up to a year early.

The Net Energy Meter policy, which allows early adopters to sell their surplus energy to SDG&E at full retail price, will be exhausted early.

The expiration date of the tariff states the end of 2016, but a clause also capped the benefit to consumers at just 5 percent, and this trigger could be enacted as soon as the beginning of 2016.

The other primary economic driver, the IRS 30 percent Investors Tax Credit (ITC) Tax Credit, in which you get a tax credit for almost one-third of the system’s price against your tax liabilities, will expire at the end of 2016.

Together, these policies bring the cost of delivered power down to less than 6 cents a KiloWatt, which is about the wholesale price that the State’s Electric Utilities pay on the wholesale market, known as CA ISO, or Cali-

fornia Independent System Operator.

The latest analysis of the amount of solar deployed, conducted by the energy firm, Solar’s Smart, using SDG&E’s interconnection data, states that the solar reserve is already 75 percent exhausted.

The firm is introducing the Solar Ramada tm that is a dual use solar structure that also provides an elegant, upscale outdoor entertainment space for large estates.

By designing a pergola like structure that architecturally blends into the estates design line homeowners can avoid the unsightly look of solar modules stuck all over the roof.

The Solar Ramadatm costs

the same as roof mounted or industrial-looking ground mount systems but serves as an architectural complement to the estate instead of a net negative, which some aesthetically perceive the retrofitted systems to be.

Solar’s Smart is focused on large energy consumers who have tasteful, large estates by designing and installing elegant, upscale solar structures that are modeled on the timeless architectural elements of pergolas and ramadas in the tradition of noted architects Irving J. Gill and Lillian Rice, who supplemented their outstanding San Diego estate designs with these structures that also provided shade, outside en-

tertainment space and a focal point off the courtyards and rear yard areas which were elegant in their simplicity and beautiful.

Solar’s Smart repurposing of these structures for hidden solar arrays, designed to harvest the sun for you day after day, attest to the firm’s sensitivity to high-end architectural residences in the Rancho Santa Fe area and inland coastal areas.

Many owners who have invested millions in their estates don’t like the look of solar panels scattered all over the roofs of their residences, for those owners, Solar’s Smart has an integrated property enhancement solution that is a double-duty, upscale element

that not only is structured to save you money but also provide you energy independence for the next 25 years, as well as a great outdoor entertainment space.

The firm’s analysis of the solar deployment rate indicates that once the information about the expiration of the NEM economic benefits become widely known that an accelerated market reaction will absorb remaining CAP percentage quickly.

The California Law makes the NEM contract available, “On a FirstCome-First-Served basis” until the 5 percent cap is reached, afterwards SDG&E is not obligated to offer the NEM contract to additional customers, which directly affects the investments rate of return and payoff schedule, according to Mark Miller, CEO of Solar’s Smart, who is a certified NABCEP energy professional.

For those early adopters, independent researchers have found that a purchase of a solar system for your home is a better investment than the stock market, according to the report, “Forget Stocks, Invest In Solar Panels,” from the North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center, which is available at SolarsSmart.com

man’s land’: Supportive cancer treatments

Many cancer patients find themselves in the place that we have come to call, “No Man’s Land.”

They are patients who have: 1) Received treatment for their cancer, usually surgical removal, or 2) They have decided to decline conventional treatment for their cancer.

In either of these cases, their question is: “What’s next?”

Although no one can guarantee what the next step should be, many are discovering that the key is found in secondary prevention and testing to ensure that the original tumor is gone.

There is an emerging science developing

In either of these cases, their question is: “What’s next?” to assist in determining the likelihood of a person’s cancer returning and whether they should still seek some form of treatment when they find themselves in the “No Man’s Land.”

For example, recent scientific literature shows that the existence and the amount of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the blood can help to predict recurrences.

This has been a useful marker in monitoring cancer for treatment. The aim is to reduce this value to as close to zero as possible, and then continue to monitor it over the next several years.

With the rates of cancer continually increasing, as well as the rates of cancer recurrence, more and more people are striving to improve their lifestyles and seeking treatments that will help them to lower the risk of cancer and its reoccurrence.

Whether you’re in the battle, or living in the post cancer treatment stage Quantum Functional Medicine in Carlsbad, Calif. offers multiple treatment modalities designed to reduce the CTC count and nutritional support plans to assist you in maintaining your quality of life, so that cancer will be less likely to reoccur.

Alessandra Deerinck talks equine Having a healthy

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — During the month of September, equestrians had the opportunity to take part in a horse lecture series, The Equestrian Life, championed by international horse trainer, Alessandra Deerinck.

The weekly lectures were divided into two categories: adults and families.

While the Rancho Santa Fe Library was the venue, the series was presented

by Castle in the Sky Productions.

A native of Italy, Deerinck discovered her desire for horses 40 years ago.

“Horses are my passion,” she said.

Deerinck relayed that her parents were worried about her riding horses for fear she would get injured.

But she followed her goals and was an equestrian in elementary school, high school and in college.

Then race horses caught her attention.

“I raced as a jockey for 12 years,” she said. “Later on, I got seriously hurt and stopped racing, and I moved to this country.”

And that’s when a new chapter of equine knowledge emerged for her. Deerinck rode dressage and hunter jumper.

Also a doctor of veterinary medicine, she studied horses from every vantage point and found a way to communicate with them with the unspoken language of a human code.

Deerinck developed a code called Human Horse Sensing also known as HH Sensing. The mission of HH Sensing is to teach horse owners how to interact with their equines so that the animals participate freely.

“I want people to learn that when they are with horses, they can actually communicate with them,” she said. “I’m teaching them a code that they can use.”

Deerinck teaches students locally, and also globally, online.

“There are ways to actually communicate with horses without having to train them,” she said.

For both the adult and family lecture series, Deerinck was able to tailor her message to those who had no background with horses to those who did despite

whatever equine discipline they were involved in.

Attendee of the lecture series, Jane Fraser, said she has taken part in all of them.

“On the property where I live we have a couple of new ponies and I wanted to learn more about horses and Alessandra talks about the body language of horses and that has been a tremendous help to me in learning how to approach the ponies,” she said. Fraser continued, “It has been great fun and reading her magazine articles in the Elite Equestrian Magazine has been helpful.”

Fraser went on to say that attending the consecutive lectures has been a wonderful experience.

The mission of HH Sensing is to have a pure relationship between humans and horses.

Deerinck wants people to know that if they are interested in exploring this new approach to their equestrian experience that she would be happy to hear from them.

metabolism paves the way to weight loss

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At RSF Library’s integrative health lecture series, holistic lifestyle and exercise coach Kate Deering was the guest speaker for her book, “How To Heal Your Metabolism.”

For Deering, one has to become healthy to lose weight and not lose weight to become healthy.

Deering, a Del Mar resident, offered a fresh perspective for those in attendance. She presented her own personal story.

“I’ve been in the health and fitness industry for probably 25 years, and quite honestly, my journey through that industry created a lot of bad habits and a lot of damage to my own metabolism unknowingly,” she said.

Deering added that she was unaware of the severe damage that was being done either through a trendy diet program or excessive exercise.

Through the research for her book, she learned that metabolism is the sum of every metabolic or chemical process occurring in a person’s body. Metabolism converts and utilizes food as energy. However, in-

creasing it through exercise may not be the desired approach.

“In a sense we are utilizing more energy, but we’re taking away from some of the systems in our body to give to the other parts of our body,” said Deering, noting how the digestive system, immune system, and detox systems may be suffering.

Doing this in the long term, bodies learn to be efficient.

“And ultimately we don’t want to teach our bodies to be efficient. We want them to be able to utilize lots of energy so they can support all the systems of your body so that you can actually live a healthier, longer life,” she said.

Deering also believes that for those who are 50 and above, they do not need to resign themselves to a slow metabolism. According to Deering, she wants people to stop blaming age on a sluggish metabolism.

“It’s more of a matter of probably how many years you’ve been damaging your metabolic rate, and so a lot of people, the longer they’re alive, the more damage they’ve done with chronic dieting,” she said.

“They’ve been eating the wrong foods, and they’ve basically put themselves in a place where metabolically things aren’t working very well anymore. So weight loss becomes challenging.”

Before people try to lose weight again, Deering pointed out, they need to become healthier.

Individuals need to increase their metabolic TURN TO WEIGHT LOSS ON 20

Blind surfers get to experience the feeling of waves

By Tony Cagala

ENCINITAS — The third time was the charm for Larry Graff to get his idea off the ground — or in the water — as it were.

More than 20 years ago, Graff, then a member of the Lions Club, was watching TV when he saw members of the blind community water skiing.

“I thought, because I’ve water skied, ‘if they can water ski, they can surf,’ so I was in the water and I paddled up to Bruce King (then president of the Swami’s Surfing Association) and I said, ‘Bruce, I’d like to take blind people surfing,’” Graff said.

As Graff and King tell the story, it would take another two times for Graff to paddle out with King and try to sell the idea.

On the third try, Graff was adamant about bringing the idea to fruition and wouldn’t take no for an answer. King relented and they agreed that they could take blind people surfing, forging a partnership for the past 20 years.

The partnership continued on Sunday at South Ponto beach where some 50 to 75 blind surfers got to experience catching waves.

“They’re courageous, because I wouldn’t do this,” said King, who, 20 years later continues to be a part of the experience.

“I wouldn’t go out there and blind surf. No way.

But those people are something else.

“And you can feel this TURN TO SURFERS ON 13

of their blind surfing event, two other Lions Clubs, one in Hawaii and in Australia, have started similar events.

There are about 42 members of the Encinitas Lions Club, which is part of the Lions Clubs International that began in 1917 with the intent on helping and improving the communities they serve.

Some of Encinitas Lions Clubs’ notable community improvement projects include the installation of audible crosswalk signals in downtown Encinitas and the offering of sight clinics where they provide eye exJuan Briceno, 17, surfs for the first time ever.

when they do it. You can feel the emotion and you feel everything that’s good about this whole thing. And the only way to really feel that is to do it. You can’t convey it in words,” he said.

Juan Briceno, 17, had never surfed before and possibly ended up with the wave count of the day, catching at least 30 waves.

It felt pretty good out there, he said.

Another of the surfers, Levi Bressan, 16, likened the experience of surfing to swimming with dolphins.

Bressan has surfed in a couple of the Lions’ previous surf events and enjoys the waves.

“I like catching the big ones,” he said.

Or just tug Walton’s arm when you spot him cycling on North County’s coast. He makes the trek to Swami’s on weekdays from his home hugging Balboa Park, proudly declaring it among the most beautiful rides in the world.

“We’re going to make it fun,’’ Walton promised.

“That’s the goal of sports.’’

Walton had a blast en route to two CIF-San Diego Section titles at Helix High, two NCAA titles at UCLA and one each with the Trail Blazers and Celtics.

But the 1977 NBA MVP’s ever-present smile beams brightest when ex-

tolling the impact athletics has on youth.

Maybe that’s because Walton never really grew up, despite being 6-foot-11.

“Our mission is to have the most fantastic event ever and have all these young children involved say, ’Yeah, I want to play sports,’’’ Walton said.

Maybe they’ll meet a future coach at a Bill Walton Basketball Festival clinic.

That’s how Walton was introduced to UCLA’s John Wooden, hanging on his every word as a kid at a USD event in the early 1960s.

The Lions are one of the few clubs, Mangini said, that 100 percent of the income for charity goes out.

Graff said when he first started the event it would be just helping blind people surf and experience the waves.

“But as it turns out, we have a profound impact on the volunteers and the surfers,” he said. “This helps people who are living with disabilities experiencing something that they haven’t experienced before. It helps create an awareness in everybody about overcoming challenges,” he said.

It’s a colorful success at The Garden Club Art Expo

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club Art Expo was a community affair, attracting numerous residents to the Sept. 13 event. While the Garden Club honored its “members only” artistic inspired creations, there was an outpouring of support.

“Over 150 members of the local community turned out enthusiastically to take in the exquisite displays of the 22 participating artists in a festive atmosphere of live music and elegant refreshments,” said Erin Browne, RSF Garden Club executive director.

According to Browne, the feedback they received throughout the day was highly positive. Many in attendance, she said, reminisced of how it reminded them of the events the Garden Club used to have in the past.

“They are looking forward to more events in the

Also there were The Pizarro Brothers who entertained guests with jazz and pop piano duets. Browne said the music infused amazing energy during the artistic showcase.

“At times some Garden Club members broke into a dance or two.

Beachgoers use sinks, fountains to rinse sand

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — In an effort to comply with a state mandate to reduce water use, Del Mar officials turned off the showers at all but one city beach and encouraged people to “stay sandy.”

To help alleviate some of the mess they installed sand brushes at all locations where showers once flowed.

But beachgoers at Powerhouse Park would have none of that, opting instead to use drinking fountains and restroom sinks to rinse off.

After turning off the showers at most beaches, Del Mar installed sand brushes and encouraged people to “stay sandy.” Some people used restroom sinks and water fountains at the Powerhouse Community Center instead. The resulting maintenance costs caused city officials to turn the showers back on in that location. Courtesy photo

The resulting maintenance and plumbing issues caused an increase in the cost of repairs, prompting the city to reactivate the showers in front of the Powerhouse Community Center.

On a more compliant note, by adhering to a requirement to limit outdoor irrigation to no more than

two days a week with potable water the city has reduced its water purchases nearly 34 percent compared to 2013.

The reduction is in spite of an 8.5 percent increase caused by a major water main break in July on San Dieguito Drive.

“We applaud the community’s efforts,” said Kristen Krane, management services director. “It’s not easy to get to these high reduction amounts. We want to encourage them to keep up the good work.”

Earlier this year the governor imposed water restrictions to deal with a severe statewide drought.

Del Mar had the option to limit outdoor irrigation to two days a week or implement other measures to achieve a 25 percent reduction.

The county’s smallest city chose the former but still exceeded the 25 percent decrease thanks to aggressive outreach and education programs such as utility bill inserts, coordination with the Del Mar Village Association to inform businesses, signage and an email address and mobile app to report water waste.

“We are aiming to do our part to reduce our water use by 25 percent … even though technically we’re not required to do so,” Krane said.

Noise the only major problem at KAABOO

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — With the inaugural KAABOO Del Mar in the books, organizers and officials in Del Mar and at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where the threeday music event was held, are in debrief mode, determining what should be done to improve the “mixperience” next year.

One of the first recommendations from residents as far away as Del Mar Heights and Carmel Valley will likely be to turn down the volume and work with Mother Nature to ensure wind, heat and humidity are at a minimum.

Beginning with an evening VIP gathering on Sept. 17, KAABOO featured more than 100 performers on seven stages with music by No Doubt, the Killers, Snoop Dogg, Foster the People, Neon Trees, Train and Counting Crows, to name a few.

Upscale dining in restaurant areas, complete with chandeliers, offered everything from lobster rolls and shrimp and grits to meatballs and gourmet hot dogs from local eateries.

There were dozens of craft breweries and wine tastings, an art fair, a swimming pool and beach and an area called Indulgences that offered massages, henna tattoos and hair and nail services.

The target audience was 25 to 55 years old, with the average ticket buyer around 38. Attendees seemed predominantly on the younger end of that spectrum, and there were plenty of families with younger children, some in strollers.

Representatives from the organizer, HorsePower LLC, worked with the community to address their concerns, which mainly focused on activities that could potentially take place offsite, such as traffic, disturbing the peace late at night, trash, lighting and noise.

For the most part the organizers lived up to their promise to be good neighbors, with few if any reported traffic and parking problems or illegal activities in

the surrounding residential neighborhoods.

Sheriff’s deputies onsite said the California Highway Patrol had a driving-u nder-t he -inf luence “saturation” and for the size of the crowd, problems were minimal.

Deputy John Cannon said there were a handful of minor arrests on the fairgrounds property Sept. 18, the first official day of the festival, for drunk in public.

Mayor Al Corti said he can’t remember the last time he saw so many law enforcement officers in one place.

A hot line to report problems was manned throughout the event.

While many said it was answered by a machine, Kristen Krane, Del Mar’s management services director, said someone was “actively returning calls all weekend.”

“They were sincere in that,” Krane said.

The city received about 50 phone calls, emails, voice messages and online comments, mostly between Sunday and Monday. All were noise complaints,

some from people in Carmel Valley and Del Mar Heights.

Councilman Don Mosier noted high winds, temperatures and humidity on Sunday likely contributed to sound transmission patterns that are difficult to control.

Krane said many callers wanted to know why the city would allow such a loud event. She stressed that Del Mar has no control over what happens at the

pleasantly surprised by the lack of problems other than noise.

“The luxury buses were taking people back and forth,” she said. “They directed traffic to I-5 away from the residential areas.

They were incredibly organized. All in all it was nowhere what we thought it would be.

“But this was only the first year and attendance was less than half of what they expected,” Crabtree added. “We just have to be diligent. It could be a little crazy when they get to 40,000.”

KAABOO organizers have not yet released attendance numbers, and a representative said they might not as that information is rarely disclosed.

They were hoping for 40,000 people a day. Unconfirmed rumors have put the average daily attendance at about 20,000.

“When you really look at how the human body works and you understand the history of why they were given these negative aspects to them, you start to understand that maybe we’ve been told the wrong thing.

So it gives you a different perspective on how these things actually are healthy for you and that if you’ve been avoiding them

that you might be causing some damage,” she said.

In her research, one of Deering’s biggest influences was Dr. Ray Peat, a private researcher on nutrition, biology, and chemistry. From there, the data she compiled was the springboard for her book.

“Now it seems the Friends and the public must depend on the City’s Proposal Selection Committee to stand behind their written intent to pick a proposal that will ‘serve the

needs of the local and regional community’ without jeopardizing public open space and its value to the San Dieguito River Valley habitat and local families,” the Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley states on its website.

In this timeline, proposals would be due by the end of October, he said.

When asked by the board and members if Magellan would take part in the RFQP, Honker said they would like to be.

They provided a waiver for this option since they are in the industry, he said, and they have done this before.

“We have the partners.

We have the expertise. We think we can bring a solution to the table that would

be competitive,” Honker said.

If the Association allowed Magellan to take part in the bid, he said, they asked to be treated fairly just like any other proposer out there and wanted to be judged equally according to the requirements.

Once a partner was chosen, estimated on Magellan’s conceptual fiber optic network feasibility study, services would be completed in roughly 18 months.

“And then the final one would be the holiday celebration on Dec. 5 with the old-fashioned Christmas that was started last year at the Inn,” she said, noting how the ice rink would return.

In addition to Santa and the Christmas tree

decorations, Pennington said adding to the holiday revitalization efforts would be handpicking various artisans, offering a giftwrapping station, having holiday carolers and perhaps a reading of the Grinch.

“This is really in a conceptual kind of framework, but we’re starting to work on the details to get it moving,” she said.

“We have to successfully live within our means, particularly within California and with hitting limitations in California with the drought,” he added.

“Using our resources wisely goes far beyond agriculture,” Bailey said. “It goes to our agriculture, it goes to our energy produc-

tion, it goes to our transportation. If we can get students to think differently about how we utilize and work with our natural systems, I think that can bring a holistic approach to sustainability. We can’t just target agriculture, or transportation, or energy, we have to think differently about all of them.”

While we understand the Tennis Club is very concerned about the impact of the proposed Covenant Club on the Tennis Club we have explained that if a plan was recommended that integrated the Tennis Club building, the costs to upgrade the tennis facility would be the responsibility of the Covenant Club not the tennis club members.”

Van Den Berg said he hopes the Design Committee understands and respects how major construction from the conceptual options presented to them could negatively affect their sought after tennis

programs, impact the pros that work there, and perhaps adversely influence the membership numbers they worked so hard to increase.

Food &Wine

A football and plate licking Sunday at a Charger’s game

the Tiger Stadium dog I enjoyed growing up — which was, by far, the best ever hands down — the Charger dog or whatever it was called was lukewarm and served on a dry bun. It was almost inedible but of course we ate it anyway and shortly after that of course, we noticed a whole row of food trucks and our sporting event, beer-fueled munchies kicked in again.

Ironically, I had just seen a feature in Thrillist about the “must have� food

I

will admit up front that I was at the Charger’s game a few weeks ago because they were playing my hometown team the Detroit Lions.

The Detroit Lions, at the time, had not played a game and had the prom

ise of a winning season in front of them.

They have since dropped to 0-3 and that promise has faded as it always does.

I’ve also become a Charger fan over the years so this game really was a win-win scenario for me. Besides all that, I heard that the pre-game tailgating was taken very seriously and sure enough, we arrived two hours early and the parking lot was already full with pop-up tents, RVs, grills, smokers and full-on portable kitchen setups. We were lucky to find a place to park at all. The crowd was also full of Detroit fans so that was a treat and everywhere we walked showing our Detroit colors folks were eager to invite us in to sample their food.

But it was the crew from Oceanside next to us that had one of the more impressive setups I’ve seen anywhere.

They were Pacific Islanders and turns out one of them owns a restaurant in Oceanside called Guahan Grill that features the cuisine of Guam.

I’ll be following up with them for a future Lick

the Plate column for sure.

They had a grill going where they were finishing baby back ribs, chicken thighs and much to my delight, big fat oysters.

I simply went over to inquire about the oysters on the grill and was welcomed like family and given a heaping plate that included all of what I just mentioned. Everything on that plate including a big heaping scoop of macaroni salad was amazing. I must say they were all huge Charger’s fan but welcomed me anyway — even with my Detroit jersey on.

This was not your stereotypical beer and brats tailgate action happening.

The variety of the food being consumed reflected the diverse ethnic melting pot that made up the crowd. In fact, I heard a lot of folks just came down for the

pre-game party and did not even attend the game. Some of those folks were so loaded at noon I’m not sure how they could make it through a full game anyway.

Finally it was time to leave the party and make our way into the stadium. This was the most uncomfortable part of the day as it was just before kickoff and thousands of folks had the same idea, with very limited entry points.

The wait in the sun packed liked sardines in a line that did not move almost had me to the point of going back out to enjoy the party for a while longer.

Once in, our seats were in the shade, which I was thankful for.

Our first stop for food was the traditional stadium hot dog and while it is really not fair to judge any stadium hot dog against

from every state. For Iowa it was the pork cutlet sandwich that sounded so delicious I wanted to hop on a plane to Iowa just to have one. Much to my delight, one of the food trucks was called the “Iowa Breaded,� which translates into pork cutlet sandwiches. This simple breaded and fried pork cutlet on a bun with a couple of pickles and nothing else hit the spot like little else in my sporting event foodie memory. Not sure why it

was there, but it was, and it was delightful. There were plenty of other food truck choices and next time the Lions are in town, I will have to check them out, that is if we still have a football team in San Diego.

Hospitality baked to perfection at the Oak Room taste of wine frank mangio

P

ala Casino Spa & Resort has brought the art of fine dining and wine tasting to its highest level, with the sweeping success of its Oak Room.

Sure, there are still the slot machines and card games in the common areas

and lots of entertainment in this high-rise resort just east of Interstate 15, and the buffet is the best of the casino locations in San Diego.

But Pala mastered all these rules of casino management before it could break the rules of casino fine dining, by presenting a four-diamond world class steakhouse with prime streaks and chops as well as fish, lobster and other delicious entrees at its Oak Room.

The executive chef is Robert Camerota, who is

in charge of the 11 restaurants at the Casino, including CAVE, the new sensation at Pala.

Camerota gained fame when he was chef for Steve Wynn and his many hotels in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and overseas. In 2008 he found the perfect home for his “Chef to the Stars” reputation, at the Oak Room.

At the Oak Room, everyone’s a star.

“Fabulous, amazing and perfect” are comments that I heard from the dining guests who savored the luscious entrees, a culinary Robert Camerota, a top executive chef, creates the culinary special- adventure found only in ties at Pala Casino’s 11 restaurants, including the Oak Room. Cour- the finest dining capitals of tesy photo the world.

The assembled professionals know how to serve.

George Myers, our table attendant, confidently detailed the special offerings, while placing a bread ensemble at our table with a variety of dipping sauces and my favorite Riesling, the Chateau St. Michele Eroica.

Some choices selected included the Prime beef, bone-in Filet Mignon steak, and dry aged for 21 days and double cut. Perfect with sides like roasted sweet corn, spinach or asparagus steamed or grilled.

Wiens Family Cellars Sampler Pack About the Wines: Thanks to the creative Wiens Family of Temecula, the wine buyer can now enjoy 18 glasses of three distinctly Italian style as yet unreleased red wines, in a stylistic boxed package: 2014 Barbera with racy notes and bright red fruit; a 2013 Refugio (Cabernet Sauvignon) with toasted oak notes of dark red fruit with herb and chocolate hints; and 2014 Sangiovese with notes of strawberry preserves, black tea leaves and textured tannins, the home varietal of Tuscany Italy.

This decorator package makes a perfect gift or a talking highlight at your next dinner party.

About the Winery: Wiens Family Cellars in Temecula is the home of the “Big Reds.”

In 2005, the winery began in the present location with a temporary tasting room, with the new facility in place in 2006.

A tasting room, barrel room, cellar room, event pavilion and outdoor patio are kept busy presenting a large array of reds.

The Cost: The Red Wine Sampler Pack is a limited production, three half-bottle item at Wiens Winery for $62.50; $50 for club members.

THE BORN LOSER by Art & Chip Sansom

I left the wine choice up to General Manager Steven Whisler, whose depth of wine knowledge left me listening to what he had to say, especially his choice: A 2006 Feather Cabernet from Walla Walla Washington, made

by Randy Dunn, a renowned maker of Cab from Howell Mountain in the Napa Valley of California. Feather is part of a group of wines, orchestrated by Long Shadows Vintners of Washington and founder Allen Shoup, 20 years with Chateau Ste. Michelle.

He is considered the founding father of modern Washington wines.

Whisler also revealed that he stocked close to 500 wines, showcasing the best of Napa Valley with a best effort to create value in the list.
