District OKs raises for non-union positions Trustees have faith in its financial stability

Author mines her cultural background in new novel, A9

January 21, 2016

BY KAREN BILLING After certificated San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) employees received a 12.5 percent raise at the end of 2015, the school board followed suit and approved the same raises for non-represented employee groups at its Jan. 14 meeting. The non-represented employee group includes Superintendent Rick Schmitt and the four assistant superintendents as well as management, confidential

and supervisory employees, a total of 54 positions. The salary increase of 7 percent for 2015-16 and 5.5 percent for 2016-17 was approved in a 3-2 vote. Trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir voted against the raises, expressing serious concerns about their affordability. The salary increases represent a cost of $599,344 in 2015-2016 and $546,814 in the second year. Trustee Amy Herman said she understood what an important decision and vote this was and said she spent a lot of time thinking about it, asking questions and losing a bit of sleep

over it to ensure she was making the best decision for the community. “I realize that this is a lot of money and I want to make sure we’re spending it wisely so the district can continue to thrive,” Herman said. Herman said she considered if the district could afford it, whether it was fair and equitable and how it would impact students. She wanted to make sure that it would not increase class sizes or impact the ability to add or enhance programs and she was re-assured that was the case. “I believe we can afford this raise,”

Herman said. “By giving them this increased compensation we’re showing them that we value their commitment and expertise and we will hopefully ensure stability to our district by retaining them.” SDUHSD Board Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said since she has been on the school board, the district has always been committed to being fiscally conservative and exercising responsible use of its funding. Dalessandro said the district went into the last recession with a healthy reserve and was able to stay SEE BOARD, A24

Fairgrounds continues to ponder concert venue

BY JOE TASH The agency that runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds is continuing to investigate a proposal to convert an under-performing satellite wagering center into a 1,900-seat concert venue with a craft beer tasting room, restaurants and other amenities. Artist renderings and draft floor plans for the new venue — which would cost an estimated $10 million to $15 million to construct — were unveiled Tuesday, Jan. 12, at a meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. The district has been investigating potential new uses for the

91,000-square-foot building, which is designed to allow betting on horse races from around the country. Although the building was constructed to hold as many as 5,000 patrons per day, current attendance has fallen to as few as 300 to 400 customers per day, said fairgrounds CEO and general manager Tim Fennell. A number of questions remain about the proposal, however, including how the district will pay for the renovation.

RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT BY ANN BOON

Residents share thoughts for future of RSF Village

he new year is a time to take stock of past experiences and set our sights on goals for the future. While many of us do this on a personal level, the Association, the board and its committees are taking a broader inventory of where we are at today and where we’d like to see our community tomorrow. This is also a conversation that we have engaged in with community residents at our Village Vibe events. As I have mentioned previously, the Village Vibe is more than the gatherings that take place every other Saturday on the green. The events are a chance for community members to come together and discuss their vision for the future of Rancho Santa Fe. You’ll notice a few places at these events where we share information – across the picnic table, over a delicious burrito or grilled cheese sandwich, or at the "Engagement Station." The Engagement Station, marked by lattice wood panels and a bulletin board, is a place to share and gather information. We post flyers for local events, such as the community Tree Planting at Arroyo Park or the Murder

Mystery Dinner at the Golf Club. (Both the tree planting and dinner are on Saturday, Jan. 23.) A new feature of the station is community member profiles. On the lattice panels we’ve posted photos of some of your neighbors plus quick and quirky Q&As. We will continue to add profiles to our RSF member wall, which features a variety of residents, from those who have lived here most of their lives to others who are relatively new to the area. The Engagement Station also features a question of the month as food for thought for our Village Revitalization Task Force, Village Vibe Subcommittee and our board. The questions are a way to take the pulse of the community, to hear from people whom we may not normally hear from, and to give our residents a chance to weigh in. Instead of a "state-of-the-union" address from your board president, I’d like to provide sort of a state-of-the-Covenant from our residents. I’d like to share with you a snapshot of what we are hearing about our community. Here’s what we’ve asked and what many of you have told us. What do you love most about the Village?

We asked this question last fall before the closing of Stump's Market, and so it’s no surprise that many of you said you loved having a market in the Village. (Our Village Revitalization Task Force and CDRC are shepherding efforts regarding a future market.) Other comments included praise for our parks and walking trails, our equestrian community, the walkability of our Village, our quaint and peaceful town, the school, the post office, the people, the Covenant "vibe" and our favorite restaurants and merchants. What would you like to see in the Village? Many people said they would love to see concerts and music in the park. Our Village Vibe events feature some fabulous musical artists, and perhaps we will see music play an even larger role at some of our seasonal Vibe events. We had an entertaining band at the Oktoberfest party hosted by the Inn and the Vibe, and we’ll continue to include live music at future events. Our residents also said they would like to see more variety in food, such as a pizza restaurant, an ice cream shop, a hamburger joint, healthy Mexican food or another type of café. We may also be able to lure new restaurant tenants to our Village via our food trucks. Besides

bringing in delicious new food selections, some of our food trucks are testing the waters, exploring if they could make a go of a brick-and-mortar venue in the Ranch. What types of boutique shops would you like to see in the Village? It sounds as if many of you love to entertain, as we heard requests for a wine shop, a cheese store and a chocolatier. Other retailers you would welcome include an art gallery, a clothing boutique, a hardware store, a bike shop, home décor offerings and a toy store. This input will be useful to the Village Revitalization Task Force and to building property owners as new retail options are explored. As we consider what niches may be missing from our retail mix, it’s equally as valuable to understand what types of businesses our community would support. We’ll continue asking questions and gathering input from our residents. I encourage you to stop by our next Village Gathering on Saturday, Jan. 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Even if you’re not interested in our food trucks, music or lawn games, you are still urged to stop by and voice your opinion. These events are a forum and are an important part in the process to revitalize our Village. If you cannot attend, we would still like to hear from you. You may email me at Ann.boon@me.com. If you prefer to send me a note in the mail you may do so at P.O. Box 650, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067. I ask that you sign your letters so that I may follow up with you if necessary. I promise to keep your comments in confidence, but I do need you to include a signature with your note. I look forward to hearing from you.

New Carlsbad plant brings water from ocean to your tap The project included construction of a 10-mile pipeline BY JOE TASH Jennifer Jones held out a plastic cup of water to a visitor. The water was crystal clear and tasted fresh and pure, as if it had been poured from a bottle of spring water. There was nothing to suggest that as recently as one hour earlier, that water had been pulled from the ocean by powerful pumps. Jones, a spokeswoman for Poseidon Water, was taking a reporter on a tour of the new seawater desalination plant on the Carlsbad coast, which officially went online Dec. 23 after a 15-year planning, permitting, design and construction process. The $800 million plant is expected to provide between 7 and 10 percent of San Diego County's drinking water for at least the next 30 years. The sole customer of the plant, which was developed by Poseidon and is now being operated under contract by an Israeli company, is the San Diego County Water Authority, the region's water wholesaler. The water authority in turn supplies its member agencies, such as the Santa Fe Irrigation District, which pipes

The large blue water pipeline behind Jones carries the purified water out of the plant and into the pipeline that leads to the Water Authority aqueduct. water to customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. The Carlsbad desalination plant is the only facility of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, and one of only two in the United States (the second is in Tampa, Florida). It is designed to produce about 50

million gallons of drinking water per day, and, a month after its launch, local water officials are pleased with the results "The plant is producing water as advertised, and we are reaping the benefits of a new, drought-proof, reliable water supply, that our region is going to rely upon for decades to

come," said Bob Yamada, director of water resources with the water authority, who has been working on the project for 15 years. "It couldn't be more satisfying to see this plant up and operating in a reliable fashion," he said. The plant was dedicated on Dec. 14 in a ceremony attended by public officials from across San Diego County. Santa Fe general manager Mike Bardin was one of the attendees, and he said the event marked a historic day for both San Diego and California. "We're very pleased that it came on line, we think it's a great success," said Bardin. "Having a viable desalination plant will lead the way

for others in California." Santa Fe has long supported the project, and was one of nine local water agencies to sign a contract to purchase water from the plant, said Bardin. However, it was later decided to spread the cost of the plant across the entire region, and the water authority took over as the direct purchaser of the plant's output on behalf of its member agencies under a 30-year purchase contract. Support from agencies such as Santa Fe kept the project going during the lengthy permitting process, Bardin said. The project included construction of a 10-mile pipeline, at a cost of $200 million, from the Carlsbad SEE WATER, A25

Enberg’s ‘McGuire’ brings beloved coach back to life Actor Cotter Smith transforms into the legendary sports figure BY KAREN BILLING “McGuire” returns to the North Coast Repertory Theater on Jan. 25 and Jan. 26, a play about Al McGuire the basketball coach, TV analyst and sportscaster Dick Enberg’s most admired friend and teacher. Enberg could share stories for hours about the “fascinating, complex, unique and vibrant” McGuire, many of which he poured into the play “McGuire.” To Enberg, McGuire watched life from behind the curtains as if he already knew life’s fill script. “We are Dorothys,” Enberg wrote in his autobiography “Oh My!”.“ He was the Wizard of Oz.” “I’ve been in this business 60 years and I’ve met a lot of sports greatness. But there has never been a character like Al McGuire,” Enberg said of McGuire, who died at the age of 72 in 2001 after a battle with leukemia. “He is the most unforgettable character I’ve ever met in my life.” The play is a tribute to McGuire and a way to bring him back to life with the actor Cotter Smith transforming into the legendary sports figure. “It’s not a play about basketball at all. It’s a play that features the wit and wisdom of a basketball coach,” Enberg said. “It’s about a man who saw what we don’t see and at an

angle that we don’t have.” Each night of the play will include a “talk back” after the show where Enberg will answer questions and share more memories about Al McGuire. He said there always seems to be someone in the audience who knew Al or has a McGuire story to add — bonus overtime insight on “a man of the unexpected.” Enberg said McGuire’s great attraction was his street wisdom. He had to scrape to get through the “barbed wire of life” and in doing so learned lessons that most never get to learn. McGuire often told people he could only read and write at a third grade level but Enberg said he knew it wasn’t true — he was sharp enough to get through St. John’s University, where he played basketball, went on to play in the NBA and took his first head coaching job at Belmont Abbey College. McGuire became head coach at Marquette University in 1964, winning the NCAA National Championship in 1977. Marquette had been the most unlikely champions that year--the last team invited to the tournament and McGuire had already announced his retirement at the end of the season. Enberg said McGuire’s coaching style was definitely as unique as the man — he recruited players differently than other coaches, he loved going after guys with broken asphalt in their front yards rather than grass. He would sometimes get in fights with players and his idea of coaching was to be a tough disciplinarian. A McGuire-ism: “If you don’t like my onion sandwiches, too

He met him again during the NCAA tournament, when Marquette was getting set to play North Carolina for the title. McGuire was typically evasive with the press, but Enberg was able to track him down after practice in Atlanta. McGuire took him outside the Omni Coliseum, where he laid on his back in the grass. “I started to ask him about strategy and an hour later I hadn’t gotten one thing on

basketball but a chapter on life,” Enberg said, noting McGuire talked to him about everything from motorcycles to how much he loved his “kids,” his players. Enberg really got to know and understand McGuire when he became his broadcast partner, working alongside him for 10 years. When NBC decided to hire McGuire as a color commentator to serve with Enberg and Billy Packer, they treaded carefully at first because they knew he was quite the colorful character, the first coach to be ejected from a championship game at the 1974 NCAA tournament. “They were wary because his language could be profane at times so they concocted this whole system where they put him in a room somewhere else in the arena. If he wanted to say something, he had to push a button,” Enberg recalled. “We’d say, ‘Let’s go to Al McGuire’ and by the time we did he’d be two plays behind. It seems almost ridiculous now.” Eventually McGuire made his way out of the room and onto the floor alongside Packer and Enberg. Working together and traveling to all those games, Enberg got a heavy dose of McGuire — Enberg said he taught him so much about life. Enberg was raised in Michigan, where he had 33 kids in his graduating clas s— it was a huge contrast to McGuire’s life, growing up in Long Island, New York, living above a bar. McGuire worried people would take advantage of him. SEE COACH, A18

DOING TIME

Fink shares film study class with veterans in jail Program fosters a sense of brotherhood within the unit BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Christina Fink spends every Friday in jail. She is doing her time teaching a film studies class to men in a housing module for veterans at the Vista Detention Center. Her class, Inside-the-Reels is now entering its second year as part of the Veterans Moving Forward program, which offers the incarcerated men services such as counseling, anger management, art classes, yoga and writing, and art classes. “It has been life-changing,” Fink said of her two, two-hour classes held every Friday since last January. “I’m delighted to have the privilege to be affiliated with this unbelievable program.” Fink entered the prison world 20 years ago, when she was a volunteer with the San Diego Juvenile Court Book Club, serving as its president for five years. She served as a substitute teacher at the Kearny Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility for 10 years. Five years ago she was looking for a change and applied to become a substitute for adults at the Vista Jail. Fink said she has a soft spot in her heart for prisoners. “I see them differently than I think a lot of people, although I certainly know that they are

on the wrong side of the law,” Fink said. “In my experience, the majority of the people have had very, very tough lives and you have to understand that to know where they’re coming from. It doesn’t excuse the things that they do but a lot of them are survivors of very, very tough lives. They’ve had bad family lives and less opportunities than a lot of people” Fink came up with the idea of the film studies class after one of her students told her about the veterans’ unit—it was a wake-up call, she had no idea there were so many veterans in the jail system. “I have a great respect for veterans and I had been trying to find a way to thank them for their service and had never found the right one,” Fink said. She admired the Veterans’ Module in the Vista Jail founded by program director Glendon Morales, and how it allows the inmates to get re-balanced and re-focused and fostered a strong sense of camaraderie and a brotherhood within the unit. As Fink serves as the co-chair of the San Diego Jewish Film Festival, she is deeply involved in film, viewing about 360 movies a year. She pitched the idea of a film studies class to Morales and he gave her an enthusiastic two thumbs up to get started. Fink’s hopes for the class are that not only could it give the men a reprieve and a chance to think critically, but also it would give them new and interesting things to talk about with others in their unit and with their family and friends.

Also, it lends them a tool for re-entry, so they have something in their pocket to discuss when they get out, a way to socialize and not feel awkward in conversations. In the class, Fink uses a lot of foreign films, Sundance films and Oscar winners, documentaries and some art-oriented films that they might have never seen otherwise. One of the first films her class watched was the French comedy, “Intouchables.” It is one of her favorite Christina Fink films and she was thrilled when an inmate thanked her for showing it to them. “He said, ‘We haven’t laughed this much as a group in I don’t know how long,’” Fink said. The class has watched and discussed films such as “Chef,” “Foxcatcher,” “American Sniper,” “Imitation Game”— the month of October last year was dedicated to Alfred Hitchcock, which had the men watching a documentary about the famed director, as well as screening his most notable features such as “North by Northwest.” During one session they had a guest speaker from the movie “One Revolution”— paraplegic

skier Chris Waddell, who became the first nearly unassisted paraplegic to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro. Through donations from friends and cleaning out her own DVD collections, she has also made a big contribution to the unit’s film collection, which has a better selection than the jail’s lending library. She has placed posters on the wall of the films they have viewed along with movie quotes. “I have absolutely never felt threatened,” Fink said of her time in jail. “When people think of the criminals, their mind immediately goes to the dark side of who they are. What I see is the complete opposite. I see normal men who are inquisitive, polite and respectful. They are so well-mannered and courteous.” She can’t take paper clips, pens or pencils into the jail, leaves her cell phone behind for the day and she doesn’t ask about the men’s personal information. She always dresses nicely for class, not shying away from wearing jewelry and Chanel No. 5. Fink said it’s important for her to dress up because it demonstrates the respect she has for the men, for the program and what she’s doing. Fink said she thinks of herself as a bit of an ambassador for the men, speaking out for a population many do not know exists. She feels a strong calling to raise awareness for the plight of veterans, how many come home and face struggles with depression, substance abuse, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and “heartbreakingly,” many end up in jail.

UCSD lectures to explore ‘Degrees of Health & Well Being’

BY WILL BOWEN For the past five years, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays during the winter academic quarter (January-March), some 300 people have gathered for a free, public lecture series held in the Great Hall at Eleanor Roosevelt College at UCSD. The series was established by Steven Cassedy, a professor in the Literature Department, and Alan Houston, who teaches Political Science, with the purpose of acquainting the community with the research and educational mission of the university. “These lectures are one of the reasons UCSD has the No. 1 ranking in the nation for positive impact on society,” said Cristina Della Coletta, dean of the Division Arts & Humanities, which sponsors the talks. Under the heading “Degrees of Health & Well Being,” this year’s lectures will address what it means to thrive, not only in the physical sense, but also in social, political and environmental terms. “We are bringing in some of the most exciting people at UC San Diego to speak about some of the most pressing issues of our time,” Cassedy said. Added Houston, “the theme of the series reflects the fact that we live in a world in which borders — national, cultural, economic — seem to be shrinking. This is true for the environment, too. The effects of pollution are felt well beyond the region in which they originate. In terms of our health and wellbeing, the causes and consequences of illness are not limited to the individuals and communities within which they occur, but affect people all across the globe.” The talks will cover such topics as: the potential use of the trillions of microbes that exist in our body; our view of the health of immigrants; the health conditions just across the border in neighboring Tijuana; how diet influences risk for disease; the politics of acquiring improved wellbeing for all; and the attempt to bridge science and religion to positively influence the future of the planet. ■ Jan. 20, “Know Thyself: Quantifying your human body and its 100 trillion microbes,” will be offered by

Larry Smarr, founding director of Calit2, an institute on the UCSD campus that houses the latest in technological research. Smarr has discovered that human bodies contain 100 trillion microbe, which amount to 10 times the total number of cells in the body. These microbes have 300 times more DNA than humans possess. Smarr said he believes one’s immune system is interlinked with microbes and the medicine of the future will make use of them for healing. ■ Jan. 27, history professor Natalia Molina will discuss, “How Scientific Racialization Shapes Mexican Immigration Policies, 1848 to Present,” addressing the dubious characterization of Mexican immigrants as “disease carriers,” to provide a better perspective on immigration, which is occurring at an accelerating rate worldwide. ■ Feb. 3, Steffanie Strathdee, chief of the division of Global Public Health at UCSD School of Medicine will discuss, “Postcards from the Trenches: Tijuana’s Hidden Epidemics of HIV & Tuberculosis.” Strathdee has been studying disease prevention in developing countries, and her work across the border in Tijuana has revealed that city has three-times the Mexican national average of both HIV and TB. Since Mexico does not have enough resources to combat the problem, Strathdee is trying to create a bi-national approach with the U.S. helping out.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JANUARY 21, 2016 - PAGE A9

Author mines her cultural background in new novel Gowda to speak at RSF Library Guild event Feb. 4

BY JOE TASH In writing her new novel, "The Golden Son," bestselling author and Rancho Santa Fe resident Shilpi Somaya Gowda reached into her own cultural background for material. And she had plenty to work with — Gowda's parents were Indian immigrants who settled in Toronto, Canada, where she was born. Although she was a Canadian resident and citizen, her home life was steeped in Indian culture, from the language, to food and movies. Then, as a young adult, she moved to the United States, where she attended college, began a career in business, met her husband and started a family. "I feel as if I belong to a lot of different places," said Gowda, who will give a reading and talk about her new book at a luncheon set for 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 4, at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The event is sponsored by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, and is open to the public. Advance reservations are required. "The Golden Son," which will be available in U.S. bookstores on Jan. 26, tells a tale of two childhood friends who are separated as adults, but later are reunited. Like Gowda's first book, "Secret Daughter," the new novel is set in both India and the United States. One of the main characters, Anil, leaves India to study medicine and work as a doctor in Dallas, Texas, where Gowda lived with her family before they moved to Rancho Santa Fe. His friend, Leena, gets married and moves to a distant village. One aspect of the book is an Indian tradition in which a village elder, generally a male, is given the responsibility of settling disputes among his neighbors, in a sort of impromptu tribunal. In the past in rural areas, said Gowda, the panchayat, or council of five, consisted of five older men who would rule on anything from divorces to family disputes, in place of a formal judiciary system. Gowda said she grew up hearing stories about this practice, in which her own male relatives participated

Author Shilpi Somaya Gowda "I thought this was a really fascinating concept," she said. In the book, Anil returns home to India and is thrust into the role of arbiter before he has the wisdom or experience to handle the job. Another theme is the sense of not belonging anywhere, which some immigrants experience. In her book, Gowda wrote of Anil, after his return to India: "Not only was it impossible to truly belong in America, but he didn’t fit here anymore. He was a dweller of two lands, accepted by none." Gowda said she can relate to such feelings because she grew up in a neighborhood in Toronto where there were no other Indian families, and she also worked in the male-dominated field of investment banking after college. But time and life experience have helped her find a sense of belonging, she said. "Now I can find a happy fusion for myself," she said. "For the most part I've grown through (those feelings) as the character does." Gowda said she had always wanted to try her hand at writing, and she decided start her first novel because it was a portable occupation, during a period when her family moved to different U.S. cities for her husband's job as a private equity investor. Both of her books have enjoyed success ("The Golden

• Personal Care, Bathing & Dressing Assistance Son" was released last fall in Scandinavia and Canada). Writing "grew and became something I can do as my career," she said. Writing also has the flexibility to complement her duties as the mother of two girls, ages 9 and 12. Being a mom, she said, gives her a break from the solitary confines of her writing desk and "helps keep me balanced and sane." She also balances the different parts of her cultural background. Although she has spent most of her adult life in the United States, she and her husband and children love to go back to India to visit relatives. "There's a lot of cheek-pinching for the children," she said. She's also starting to research her third novel, and consulting with the production companies that have purchased the film rights to "Secret Daughter" and "The Golden Son," although she's not sure when, or if, those films will be produced. Anyone interested in attending Gowda's talk at the Golf Club can call (858) 756-4780, or go online to www.rsflibraryguild.org to make a reservation, by Monday, Feb. 1, said Susan Appleby, the Library Guild's development and membership manager. The $65 ticket price includes lunch and a signed copy of the book. Premium seats are available for $85.

La Jolla Music Society presents pianist Ji on Jan. 24 La Jolla Music Society continues its Discovery Series with pianist Ji at The Auditorium at TSRI on Sunday, Jan. 24, at 3 p.m. Ji began playing the piano at age of 5. At 9, his family relocated from Korea to New York, where he studied at the Music Preparatory Division of the Mannes College, and later at the Juilliard School’s Pre-College Division. In 2001 he became the youngest pianist to win the New York Philharmonic’s Young Artists Competition when he was only 10 years old, resulting in a performance at Avery Fisher Hall under Maestro Kurt Masur. Well-known in his native country, Ji gave Korea its first outdoor classical concert as

soloist with the BBC Symphony under the baton of Maestro Jirí Belohlávek. His creative vision to make classical music accessible to young people led to his "Stop & Listen" outdoor "guerrilla" performances in 2010, during which he worked with renowned Korean pop-artist Tae Jung Kim to design the "Ji-T" piano, bringing classical music to the public on the streets of Seoul. In 2012, Ji earned worldwide recognition when he won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions. The Chicago Tribune hailed him as "a gifted young pianist who is clearly going places," and The New York Times described his

concerto debut performance with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York (2015), as "… a fluid reading with crystalline articulation, his fingers dancing over the keys." Ji's recital includes works by Mendelssohn and Matthias Pintscher and is book-ended by J.S. Bach’s Three Chorale Preludes, arranged by Ferruccio Busoni and the enigmatic and iconic Goldberg Variations. La Jolla Music Society enhances the concert-going experience by presenting "Preludes" – pre-concert chats and performances one hour prior to select performances and free to ticketholders.

Young Artists from San Diego Youth Symphony & Conservatory will perform a Musical Prelude prior to the performance. Tickets are $30 and are available through La Jolla Music Society’s Ticket Services Office, 858-459-3728 or online at www.LJMS.org.

Animal center staff surprised to find abandoned puppy Piccolo should be available for adoption when she is about 8 weeks old In the early morning hours of Jan. 11, Helen Woodward Animal Center staff discovered a tiny puppy hidden within an overnight-crate assigned to an adult orphan dog named Bruce. With the cold evening air giving way to early morning sunshine, Center animal techs were busy setting Bruce up outside in his adoption enclosure. At the same time, a stranger had walked into the building to abandon the delicate pup, only weeks old, inside of Bruce’s crate. There was no note and no information about the bitty black puppy, still too young to feed itself without its mother’s milk. Only surveillance footage revealed the mystery of how the pup had even arrived in the Center’s back lobby. Now named Piccolo (Italian for "small"), adoption staff are making some very big efforts to get the puppy back to health and ready for a happy new life. At less than one pound, Piccolo was far too young to survive on her own and Center adoptions staff immediately placed her in an intensive care incubator to get her body heat back to where it needed to be. While her exam showed no emergency medical care was necessary, the tiny puppy was suffering the stress of being separated from her mother and seemed unsure of

Assisting Piccolo with learning how to eat formula and how to take water from a syringe to keep her hydrated has been the primary concern since her arrival. "There was so much confusion about where she had come from," stated Helen Woodward Animal Inventory Manager LaBeth Thompson. "Four of our staff members were checking around the building to see if Piccolo was one of ours and trying to figure out how she had ended up in Bruce’s crate. We have such a regular

morning routine with feeding and caring for the pets and it was so unusual to find a puppy that no one was familiar with." Surveillance footage shows a blonde woman pull up to the front lot in her car, get out while two other dogs wait inside the car, and carry the puppy inside. While the woman may have been attempting to get the puppy to an organization she knew would provide care, San Diego Law, Ordinance No. 9274, Sec. 62.673, makes it illegal for any individual to abandon an animal. In part, the law states, "No person

shall abandon any domestic animal without care on any public or private property. Any person who violates any provision of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor." "We understand that whoever did this may have had good intentions," explained Helen Woodward Animal Services Manager Ed Farrelly. "But leaving such a young puppy in a place we may not have found it for many hours is not a way to ensure this puppy’s health. Its body temperature could have dropped dangerously low and it could have been severely malnourished and dehydrated by the time we found it." Piccolo is currently under constant care and is even taken home each evening by Center vet technician Shea Halle, to monitor her health and well-being. The puppy is reported to show clear signs of missing her mom, snuggling and nuzzling into Halle’s neck, and trying to nurse "like a kitten." One thing is certain, this tiny Piccolo will play a much happier song when she has a forever family of her very own. Piccolo should be available for adoption when she is approximately 8 weeks old and is able to be spayed and receive all of her vaccinations. She has tons of love to give and deserves a family to see the huge heart in this tiny puppy. For more information on Piccolo, or to adopt Piccolo, please contact the Adoptions Department at: 858-756-4117 ext. 1, visit www.animalcenter.org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the six-course sessions at 7 p.m. on Mondays. "No religion is known for its rational basis and its welcoming of questions and intellectual debate quite like Judaism" explained Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s headquarters in Brooklyn.

The Jewish Course of Why spans a diverse range of topics, from fun, light, and off-the-beaten-track questions, to more complex and controversial issues. Some of the course’s 50 questions include: Why are there so many Jews in Hollywood? Why do Jews eat gefilte fish and cholent and wish each other mazal tov and l’chaim? Why does the Bible sanctions slavery and animal sacrifices? What is the cause of antisemitism? What does Judaism say about Christianity and about the role of women in Jewish life?

as we face the end. In his long career, Enberg has covered everything from basketball, tennis, golf, horse racing, Olympic Games, football and for the last several years has been the play-by-play voice for the San Diego Padres. Enberg said baseball is his favorite game to cover even though it is the most demanding — the schedule is packed and the pace of the game is different, requiring an announcer to fill the voids with facts, stories and personal anecdotes. Enberg loves that challenge.

“I find it not only satisfying but thrilling every time I go to the ballpark,” said Enberg, who announced that this season would be his last. “Hopefully the Padres send me out with a terrific season.” Upon word of his retirement, Enberg said he was flooded with calls, people asking him to teach, to do radio, to write another book—“There’s plenty of work to do.” Thanks to McGuire, Enberg will eat the banana.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JANUARY 21, 2016 - PAGE A19

Physician pens how-to guide to optimal health BY LINDA HUTCHISON Roddy Carter, M.D. advocates using technology to help us log 10,000 steps five days a week, but as he explains, that’s just one part of his inspirational new book and overall message. In "BodyWHealth: Journey to Abundance," Carter shares his passion for teaching and encouraging others to achieve optimal health. A former physician and expert in sports medicine, Carter lays out a practical approach, based on science and honoring natural design, in his book. "Mother Nature is very clever, with its hormonal and chemical system," he said, noting, if we work with this natural order, evolutionary principles, we are that many steps closer to achieving health, happiness and prosperity. Carter outlines his advice in keys, which include exercise, nutrition, sleep, recreation, social interaction, overcoming excuses, believing in oneself and cultivating a sense of purpose. In other words, he is interested in total transformation, on all levels. A lover of technology, he said it's good for us to keep track of our exercise and food intact, using whatever gadgets and apps work for us, but not just for the logging of total miles or calories. “Those successful with weight-loss keep track of what they eat,” he explained. “This is not so much for the calories, but mindfulness at the plate, eating the right things." Carter's book and consulting practice emerged from both his personal transformation and professional journey. He said his interest in science and helping others began 10,000 miles away in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he was born and earned his medical degree. He worked for years as a family physician and treating trauma

Dr. Roddy Carter patients. Raised by liberal parents who were both educators, he was at odds with the apartheid government, which he described as morally depraved. Nevertheless, he was faced with helping those who suffered physical violence working for change or living with violent aftermath. A sports-lover, Carter said he wanted to treat more than sickness and injuries. He earned a master's degree in sports medicine and founded the Centre for the Study of Exercise, Nutrition and Muscle Science at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. There he coached Olympic athletes and participated in research studies, helping test new treatments for conditions such as

exercise-induced asthma. This led to another leg in his journey, executive positions in the bio-tech and pharmaceutical industries. In 2001, he and his wife Karen, a teacher, and their four children (two sons and two daughters) moved to Princeton, New Jersey for what was to be a three-year assignment. They decided to stay. Carter quickly rose to the top of his field, such as CEO of WellGen. "By outward appearances, I was successful," he said. But a few years ago, I began to feel as if something was missing. I was working six days a week and I felt that life was rushing by." He also wasn't happy with how he felt or looked — older than his years, overweight and out of shape, not the strong, lean athlete he used to be. “That’s when I realized a major reboot was in order,” he said. He began applying his professional knowledge to his own life. "There were two of us: the physician walking alongside the rebooting Roddy, using science and watching Roddy develop a healthy lifestyle." He tried to keep the physician a compassionate, rather than a finger-wagging one. During this transformative time, he made several discoveries beyond the physical body, he said. Wealth became "whealth," meaning the fullest possible life — physically, mentally and emotionally. “Health is our greatest wealth,” he said. Also during this time, two of his four children began attending college in California and the Carters moved to La Jolla. It was the right location for launching his new book and career as a life coach and lecturer, he said, "I liked the lifestyle and it was part of my reboot and dedication to life. I only have to look out the window every

www.rsfreview.com On July 1, 2016, the new contract awards him $248,347. Schmitt just had the board approve a contract for him last September, which appeared to lock in his pay rate for three years. "Effective July 1, 2015, the superintendent shall receive annual salary ($220,000) …" The contract was signed by the five board members Sept. 3, 2015 (it was not unanimous, by the way) and accepted by Schmitt on Sept. 8, 2015. "The term of this agreement shall be from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018," the contract reads. But never mind that. Schmitt’s contract amendment, on the Jan. 14 board agenda, states in part that "the district and superintendent now desire to amend the agreement in order to adjust the superintendent’s salary in a manner consistent with salary increases recently received by other certificated employees…" Agreements are also modified for all four associate superintendents (Dill, Grove, Norton and Viloria), who are currently paid an annual salary of $162,265 but will be bumped up to $195,466 on July 1. Wording as follows: "Effective July 1, 2015, the associate superintendent shall receive an annual salary of $175,000 and $2,929 in longevity benefits. Effective January 1, 2016, the associate superintendent shall receive an annual salary of $185,276 and $2,929 in longevity benefits.

swore last week’s column would be the last I’d write about San Dieguito Union High School District’s overly charitable labor contract approved last month. Then on SDUHSD’s Jan. 14 board agenda I read the action item to give other district employees the same generous raises teachers just received. Although expected, it was still frustrating to see it in print. "There are three groups of employees who are not represented in the collective bargaining process (supervisory, confidential and administration)," reads the executive summary. "The administration has a responsibility to recommend salaries for non-represented groups that are both competitive and within the district’s ability to fund." The administration "has a responsibility" to recommend salary increases for itself? Kafka would love this. The board report was prepared by associate superintendent for human resources Torrie Norton, who – along with SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt and associate superintendent for administrative services Jason Viloria – negotiated the teachers’ deal, as

Schmitt says, on behalf of the taxpayers. Negotiated the deal on behalf of the taxpayers? That’s not really possible if everyone is pulling the same way on the rope. Schmitt, Norton and Viloria – as well as the other two associate superintendents, Mike Grove and Eric Dill – will all receive a 7 percent raise this year and a 5.5 percent raise for 2016-2017, same as the teachers. Schmitt and Bob Croft, head of the San Dieguito Faculty Association, like to heap abundant praise on each other for the conflict-free, interest-based bargaining approach they used to reach this agreement. But as SDUHSD trustee John Salazar says, it should really be called "self-interest" based bargaining. Schmitt is right when he states that this is how other districts operate as well – the superintendent and human resources executives negotiate on behalf of taxpayers. And whatever raises are given to teachers are then given to the same staff members theoretically representing taxpayers. Because it’s commonly done does not make it even remotely acceptable. Schmitt’s current annual salary is $220,000.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Be careful what you wish for Is anybody else concerned about the three or four telecommunication cell sites that are proposed for Rancho Santa Fe Covenant? I know everyone wants coverage, but in order to saturate the sort of rolling topography characteristic of Rancho Santa Fe, a tremendous amount of microwave radiation is called for. Perhaps the adage, "Be careful what you wish for" is apropos at this time as the Board considers approval of faux palm cell towers that are aimed at providing extensive coverage. Peer-reviewed studies show people living

within 500 meters of a cell site are more likely to have insomnia, cognitive impairment, inability to focus, reproductive problems, dementia, and certain kinds of cancer. A Brazilian study in the city of Belo Horizonte found that 80 percent of those who succumbed to cancers of the prostate, breast, lungs, kidneys, and liver lived no further than one-third of a mile away from one of the hundreds of cell phone antennae throughout the city. Outside of this area, a decrease in the number of deaths by neoplasia occurred. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21741680 With the Brazilian study and others like it in mind, it is important to consider options for coverage. I support fiber optics

installation throughout the Ranch. Every home will have internet access and thus the capability to increase their cell phone coverage by hooking up a "microcell" (provided by your carrier) with their router. A microcell does not need to communicate with a cell tower. The bottom line is that you do not need additional cell sites to increase your coverage. Before the Association goes ahead with these cell sites, I strongly recommend you hire Cindy Sage, head of an environmental consulting firm located in Santa Barbara.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FROM LETTERS, A22 3,800 studies on the effects of RF radiation. Ms. Sage could address the environmental effects of RF radiation on the most vulnerable among us -- the unborn, children, the elderly, and those with existing health problems. It is important for the Association to avail itself of the latest scientific evidence reviewed by the cancer committee (IARC) of the World Health Organization. IARC voted in May 2011 to classify RF radiation as a 2B or "possible human" carcinogen. This puts RF radiation in the same category as DDT, Chlordane and diesel fumes. Do not be misled by those who say you cannot discuss health. Your RSF Association is a private homeowners association, not a government forum. Now is the time to protect your rights, your health and your children. Susan Foster, Medical Writer, US Adviser, Radiation Research Trust (UK) Rancho Santa Fe

An open letter to Grandson Johnson Dear Grandson Johnson, I read a tall tale your grandpa wrote recently. Papa Bear is quite a storyteller, isn’t he? Let me fill in the gaps in his story. The Covenant Club is a fun place for friends to gather and play. It has adult things like exercise equipment, yoga, steam rooms, and coffee, but Papa Bear must have forgotten the fun kid stuff: pool, splash pad, your own Jacuzzi, play area and snack bar. It’s for all ages. Last year, our neighbors voted that the best spot for this fun club was between the Tennis and Golf Clubs. So, when you’re done playing at the fun club you can just walk over and see Papa Bear at the Golf Club. That would be fun, wouldn’t it? Well, that’s what most neighbors thought. Now, we can all play together. Papa Bear must have been confused again when he wrote about who pays for things. Let me help with a story about "Phony Bear." Once upon a time, Phony Bear used all his neighbors’ money to buy a very expensive horse playground without asking them. He just did it. This playground was owned by Phony Bear’s friends and it made them very rich because Phony Bear paid twice its value. But he didn’t care because he used somebody else’s money. The horse playground is nice, but not many neighbors use it and it’s not close to other playthings. What Phony Bear did wasn’t fair. Years later, you and just a few friends were at your neighborhood playground. It only had two games – tag and hide-and-seek — but not all your friends liked to play those games. One day everyone realized there were other playgrounds further away that not only had your games, they had jungle gyms,

swings, slides and lots more. Those playgrounds were fun and made their neighborhoods better. Everyone wanted to play there, but you weren’t allowed because you didn’t live there. Then, you had a great idea. You and your neighbors would make your playground better. You’d use some new neighborhood money collected mostly from newer neighbors to make it a Cool Club. The whole neighborhood could play there. But just when you started work, Phony Bear said he didn’t want to pay his share. He used all the old neighborhood money on the horse playground and wanted to use the new money for his friends again. He wanted the benefits of the club, but didn’t want to pay. Well, you are a smart kid. You got all your neighbors together and voted to make the Cool Club anyway. Guess who was first at the club? Yep, Phony Bear. It wasn’t fair, but you just smiled with your friends and laughed. That silly Phony Bear. The End So, Grandson Johnson, read this to Papa Bear in between his naps and ask him to tell you more Phony Bear stories. He surely know lots of them. JJ (James Joseph) Nealy

Rancho Santa Fe: A three-ring circus? In a recent letter to this newspaper, Mr. Kendall had some disparaging words to say about the RSF Board of Directors' attempt to try and bring some life back to the village with a farmers' market. There are many other residents of the Ranch that don’t share his sentiments about these kinds of efforts to bring something to the village other then banks and brokerage offices. My wife and I walked to the village vibe on a recent Saturday, and it was so popular that the food truck had sold out and we listened to an incredible musician, Joshua Randle, who one day may be a star. Some people don’t like change and that is why we don’t have better cell service, high-speed internet and, up until recently, accurate financial accounting of our reserves. Based on Mr. Kendall’s comments he must think that cars and coffee on Saturday mornings along with the village vibe make the Ranch a low class, three-ring-circus. I think it is fun and great for the community and applaud the RSF Board of Directors for exploring everything they can to enhance our lives in the Ranch whether they last long term or not. Terry Peay

The 'Vibe' should close I would like to thank the Rancho Santa Fe Association board members for their desire to try and stimulate interest and business in the village. However, as a long-time retailer and resident I wonder where I am each time I see the rag-tag camp that is called the

"Vibe." It certainly does not represent Rancho Santa Fe! People fought long and hard to stop a farmers' market from invading the ranch only to have "the Vibe" instead. If possible, an even tackier venue than a farmers' market. Not only is it not representative of RSF, but we also are paying thousands of dollars for it to be here, The Vibe does absolutely nothing to stimulate business in town. In fact, it does just the opposite. I fail to see how bringing in a food truck to compete against Thyme on the Ranch, The Bistro and The Inn helps their business or any other business. The already problematic parking situation is not helped by the Vibe, we have had people parking in front of our gallery and walking to the park. How does this help our business? Rancho Santa Fe's real "vibe" since inception has always been conservative, quiet, understated, private, and beautiful urban elegance. Not one of those qualities is projected by the Vibe. In fact, it is loud, ugly and tacky, starting with the sign followed by the music and food truck. From what I have seen it is also poorly attended and does not warrant spending any more of our Association money to keep it alive. This is a program that should be left to die a quick and natural death. I have questioned several of the other retailers left in town and they agree that the "Vibe" has done nothing to help their business. I am not sure what might work to stimulate more business and interest in town other than more retail stores. If you agree please let the board know so we can close it down before wespend any more of our funds. Thank You, Bill McNally

Unfair that voting rights of condo owners not be granted at this time I am trying to figure out how the arrogance of Washington and a disregard for what the people want has trickled down to local politics here in RSF. As condo owners who have paid dues and assessments for 25 years I am outraged and would like to start a recall movement to get rid of those board members who so cavalierly withdrew giving condo owners the right to vote. As stated in the RSF Review by Fred Wasserman, quote "that the committee determined there is not enough information to make the condo owner change to the bylaws and articles of incorporation right now." What on earth does that mean? Granting condo owners their right to vote has been discussed for over 25 years that I know of — how much more information do they need to make the proposed changes? Last year we were told it was going to be granted as it should have been. One has to wonder why the board wants to

disenfranchise a group of 79 voters, and have them continue with taxation without representation. What is on the board's agenda? Why do they want to keep more people from voting, is it "the Covenant Club" or Mrs. Woolley's project or both? Why are they putting 79 voters on the shelf? Our property values are already being adversely affected by the loss of the market and lack of retail in town, this will reduce the values even more. It certainly does not seem fair or right that the voting rights of the condo owners not be granted at this crucial time. If you agree please contact the R S F Association board. Connie McNally, RSF

Let's try harder to elevate the dialogue, set a better example I moved here with my family nearly two years ago and we treasure our new community and its unique qualities as much as any long-term resident. Since our arrival, we have been consistently impressed by the level of commitment all residents seem to have to The Ranch and preserving its many treasures. Rare is the Rancho Santa Fe resident who does not happily volunteer time or contribute funds to the many good causes that are well-supported here. Unfortunately, this spirit is not to be found on the opinion pages of our local newspapers. I find the level of discourse there disappointing and inconsistent with the quality of the individuals I have encountered. The reality is that many of the subjects currently under debate in our community are the product of several individuals volunteering their time, energy and finances in furtherance of a goal they sincerely believe will improve life for all of us. Some of these folks have literally spent years in pursuit of their initiatives. Their leadership and goodwill should be appreciated whether or not one agrees with the result. While civil society certainly thrives in an environment of thoughtful, constructive debate, it should be just that...civil. Sniping at fellow residents who are sincere in their efforts to foster progress erodes the debate and discourages others who might take up the cause of bettering our community. If you disagree with a proposal or project, by all means voice your opposition or better yet, offer a thoughtful alternative. But before you blithely dismiss something as a "3 ring circus," "Disneyland" or a "monstrosity," you might stop to consider that the subject of your ire is likely the product of someone who worked tirelessly in support of something they truly thought would improve the community. Let’s try harder to elevate the dialogue, offer solutions and set a better example for our younger residents. Sincerely, Lea Clay Park, Rancho Santa Fe

RANT WITH RANDI BY RANDI CRAWFORD

‘Get to'

ife is short. I just woke up to the news that David Bowie died at 69 years old. What an incredible talent. Talk about living life meaningfully, he rocked it, literally! And that’s what this rant is about. We get one shot at life, let’s go for it. I just attended the most beautiful and moving funeral service this weekend, and that’s what prompted me to write this rant. The room was filled with hundreds of people, all there, to support a terrific family. As I sat in the church, looking around me, I saw and I felt so much love. While I was listening to the stories

about the deceased, it struck a chord with me. This man, this dad, lived such an incredibly full life. He had a football career at one of the top schools in the nation, he had a beautiful family, and he himself was one of six brothers. I can’t even imagine the chaos, the insanity, and the life in that family. When I listened to his brother speak, it was so apparent, just how precious life really is. He didn’t get up there and describe a perfect family life. He described a life full of ups and downs that he wouldn’t trade for one second. He talked about love, respect, competition, sports, brotherhood,

FROM FAIRGROUNDS, A1 is called, said his goal is to come back to the board at its February meeting with “hard numbers.” But at the current preliminary stage, fairgrounds officials sounded optimistic about the proposal. Fennell told the board that the facility could host about 60 concerts per year, along with such activities as educational seminars, boxing matches and other events. The venue would complement the annual county fair and horse racing meets, and would complement other local concert halls in the region, rather than compete with them. “It is, in my opinion, long overdue and pretty exciting,” Fennell said. A financial analysis shows that the venue would make money even at 75 to 85 percent of capacity, said Shewmaker. "I think it's going to be a huge success for us," Shewmaker said.

You know how sometimes you wake up and you have a million things running through your head about what you "have to" do that day? It happens to me while I’m working out.

Sometimes I jump off the bike before the class is over because I’ve worked myself into such a frenzied state that I don’t end up completing anything well that whole day. I was listening to a speech by one of the founders of the company, "Life is Good," and he was describing a world where we don’t "Have to" run through our entire "to do" list that day, we "Get

He’s learned over the years, through fan mail, that "Those who face the most adversity in life embrace optimism the most." Isn’t that awesome. So a kid with one leg, is more optimistic than a frenzied mom who has 50 things on her to do list? Someone who faces adversity doesn’t sweat the small stuff. It makes you realize, as you’re sitting at a funeral for someone who no longer has the opportunity to "Get to" walk the dog, mow the lawn or go grocery shopping. We are so lucky to be here and we definitely can’t take our health for granted. I never use names in my articles, but I want to dedicate this one to Steve O’Brien, and thank him for giving us such wonderful boys that will most certainly make this world a better place.

managers, coordinators, supervisors … etc. etc. etc. A chart provided by Associate Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill shows that the total cost for this new batch of personnel raises for management will be $599,344 in 2015-2016 and $546,814 in 2016-2017 – so about $550,000 per year going forward. The cost just for the salary increases for the four associate superintendents and Schmitt, according to Dill’s chart, is $72,921 in 2015-2016 and $64,305 in 2016-2017. The new salary structures were approved 3-2 – trustees Joyce Dalessandro, Beth Hergesheimer and Amy Herman in favor, and trustees Mo Muir and John Salazar opposed. Non-management classified employees are next in line for similar increases. It’s a broken system, to be sure. *********** Last week’s column included this information, obtained several weeks ago from Schmitt, about the district’s diminishing reserve levels:

"Reserve levels after factoring in the new contract are projected to be 18 percent at the end of 2016, 13 percent at the end of fiscal year 2017, and 10.4 percent at the end of fiscal 2018, Schmitt said." This seemed rather alarming, so I asked Schmitt to repeat the numbers to be sure I noted them correctly. There was some confusion, however, at the Jan. 14 board meeting about that 10.4 percent figure, but Schmitt in a Jan. 15 email confirmed that he gave me that estimate. "I do remember the discussion," he wrote, but said the numbers have since changed. The district is now correcting itself. "With the governor’s 2016 budget news last week, we are anticipating more income, and therefore our multi-year ending balances should increase," he said. At the Jan. 14 board meeting, Dill stated that the reserve levels at the end of 2018 are projected to be 13 percent, not 10.4 percent. As of deadline for this column, he had not provided estimates for reserve balances for the end of years 2016 and 2017. Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

three-year contract in which he agreed to work for the salary in the contract. Despite the agreement, just a few months ago the board voted to add another year to his contract before it was up. He said he didn’t think it was fiscally responsible to be giving Schmitt a raise and said it wasn’t “prudent or good business” to add a year to a contract every year. “The district and the taxpayers had a deal and I’d like to just live up to my deal,” Salazar said. Hergesheimer said that Schmitt did not ask to extend his contract, that it came from her as the president of the board. “(Contract extensions have) been practice. It’s actually been quite accepted and recommended that in order to show a vote of confidence, which I have in our staff and our leadership, that we extend contracts,” Hergesheimer said. Salazar stated that it’s not just him that has concerns about fiscal reliability of the district, referencing a comment from Governor Jerry Brown last week that the state is overdue for another recession— Brown said although the treasury is overflowing now the state could face a $43 million deficit by 2019-20. Salazar said Brown also stated that he is not

going to support the extension of Proposition 30, which pays billions of dollars into education. Prop 30 is due to expire in 2018. “Look, I didn’t run for school board so that I could be the bad person who didn’t give people raises,” Salazar said. “I’m just saying, we gave the teachers an enormous raise. We don’t have enough money…our reserves are going down.” Salazar said he is concerned about an estimate that reserves will be at 10 percent in two years and that’s before the raises that were voted on last month and Jan. 14. “Our reserves will just barely be above the state minimum. And maybe nothing will happen. Maybe everything will be fantastic, rainbows do happen. If a recession happens we’re going to see two things happen. I think we’re going to see teacher layoffs and we’re going to see class sizes explode, there’s no other way to do it,” Salazar said. “Those are my concerns. It’s not that I’m being mean or unfair or don’t respect or don’t care — I feel like Superintendent Schmitt has a contract and I believe everybody else that’s in the managerial positions have a salary that we can afford to pay at this time.” Hergesheimer said she has also asked questions

about reserves and she believes they will be in the teens (10 percent and up), and that’s being conservative. As Schmitt noted, the multi-year budget projections are unofficial at this time and will be revised in early February. With growth in state revenue and increased enrollment, Schmitt said they expect to see their funding increase from the state. He said that the district is in a “healthy and stable” position and is maintaining a healthy level of reserves, some of the highest in the district’s history. “Even if we have an economic slowdown we have a team in place that knows how to navigate any downturn,” Schmitt said, noting that during the last recession reserves dipped to 6 percent and the district was able to weather the storm without any layoffs. “I believe that the reserves are in a good place,” Hergesheimer said. “I have concerns about the reality now, about economic indicators that our staff and employees all have to live with in terms of what their cost of living and their reality is. Having had no raises for the length of time that they’ve had, it’s time for us to do some catch-up here.”

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JANUARY 21, 2016 - PAGE A25

Superintendent’s monthly update Superintendent Rick Schmitt regularly updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) community through local media with a monthly update. Topics may include academics, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on the healthy SDUHSD budget and reserves, class size, and High School Selection.

BY RICK SCHMITT SDUHSD Budget & Reserves Each January, we begin our budget planning for the next school year. As we entered the current school year, our projections indicated that, due to growth in state revenue and increased enrollment in our district, we would see our funding from the state increase over the next three years. At the mid-year point, all sources continue to indicate a healthy and stable outlook for our budget. SDUHSD has a long history of effective and fiscally conservative budgeting and maintenance of healthy reserves and, as we move into 2016 and beyond, we will continue these prudent fiscal practices. In fact, SDUHSD currently has the highest reserves in its long history. Due to our strategic fiscal planning and effective collaboration with district employees, even during the recent state economic downturn, SDUHSD was still able to increase student achievement year over year, retain all of our instructional and extra-curricular programs, and add elective choices for students, all while maintaining reasonable class size averages. The improvement in per-student funding in our multi-year projection has allowed us to continue to expand programs, offer increased scheduling and course options at our schools, and attract

and retain highly-qualified teachers and staff. Our business is to prepare for the future. It happens every day in every classroom and it happens as we manage our resources. We thrived by every fiscal and academic measure during the recession thanks to careful planning both before and during the downturn. We will build upon our successes as we develop and support our outstanding educational program for next school year and beyond. Class Size I want to take this opportunity to clear up any confusion regarding district class size averages that may exist as a result of a handful of community members recently misrepresenting to our community that class size averages in SDUHSD were going to increase. The District has, and will remain, focused on keeping class size averages as low as possible. In reality, our teachers and students have recently experienced some of the lowest class sizes in a decade as a result of our district’s significant investment in reducing class size averages. The new district contract class size language was simply updated and clarified last month and did not make any change to class size averages as a few would lead you to believe. This new contract language helped provide clarity regarding how the staffing ratio actually equates to class size averages as our teachers teach multiple classes each day. All nine of our comprehensive schools are staffed equitably regardless of their respective bell schedules. The formula used to determine the total number of teachers for each site does not include the additional funding the District has provided to sites specifically to lower class size. Over the last two years, the district, working closely with the San Dieguito

Faculty Association, has spent in excess of $3 million in additional funds to continue to reduce class size averages across the district as well as to provide additional support classes like AVID and College Readiness as well as math support and other academic programs. High School Selection We will begin our annual High School Selection process for the 2016-17 school year on Feb. 1. Each incoming 9th grade student is required to select the high school he or she would like to attend in the 2016-17 school year. The High School Selection window closes at 4 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 29. Current SDUHSD 8th grade students who make no high school selection will be automatically enrolled in their school of residence (LCCHS or TPHS). Students already enrolled in SDUHSD high schools need not make a high school selection for 2016-17 unless they want to change schools. If more students apply for enrollment in a school than capacity can accommodate, the district will conduct a random lottery to determine which students are enrolled. While, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that every student will get into his or her first choice school for 2016-17, SDUHSD remains committed to doing our absolute best to enroll as many students as possible in their first choice school. Fortunately, this selection process has worked very successfully for almost all our students and we have a history of success with this effort.

FROM WATER, A4 plant to the water authority aqueduct. The water authority blends the desalinated water with water obtained from other sources. While the drinking water produced by the desalination plant does provide a reliable supply, impervious to the drought that has plagued California for the past four or five years, it does not come cheap. Under its contract with Poseidon, the water authority pays between $2,131 and $2,367 per acre-foot of water, which is 325,900 gallons, or enough to supply two families of four for a year. In contrast, the water authority pays $624 per acre-foot, adjusted annually for inflation, for water it buys from Imperial Valley under a water-transfer agreement. The water authority will pay $942 per acre-foot in 2016 for water it purchases from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, according to figures supplied by the agency. In 2016, the water authority will spend about $110 million on water from the desalination plant, said Yamada. Officials expect the price of the desalinated water to come more in line with the cost from other sources in the future, because the price of imported water will rise faster than that of the water from the Carlsbad plant, said water authority spokesman James Palen. The Carlsbad plant puts ocean water through a three-step purification process before it is piped into the water authority's supply line. First, said Jones, the Poseidon spokeswoman, the water is pumped through layers of anthracite, sand and gravel to remove large particles. Next, it is filtered to remove smaller impurities. Finally, said Jones, the water enters what is considered the heart of the plant — the reverse osmosis room. Banks of thousands of stacked tubes contain reverse osmosis membranes. The seawater is forced through the tubes at high pressure, and tiny holes in the membranes allow water molecules to pass, but block larger salt particles. The purified water goes on toward the plant's outflow pipe, while water containing concentrated salt is mixed with seawater and pumped back into the ocean. Before the water is sent on, minerals, chlorine and fluoride are added, Jones said. The water authority is satisfied of the quality of the drinking water produced by the plant, said Yamada. "There is rigorous monitoring that goes on every day, minute by minute and hour by hour, to ensure that the plant is producing a consistent water quality," he said.

William James ‘Bill’ Herrick December 29, 2015

Rancho Santa Fe — William James “Bill” herrick passed away peacefully at his home on December 29, 2015, of natural causes. those who knew him know the heart of gold he had and the impact he made on this earth. Born in carthage, South Dakota, he was the only son alongside six sisters, amongst the seven children of William and ellen herrick. having grown up on a farm in rural South Dakota during the Depression, he held a deep appreciation for hard work and understood early in life, the need to help others less fortunate. Bill and Donna met while in high school in huron, South Dakota. after serving in the armed Forces, he moved to california and attended city college in Los angeles. In the meantime, Donna had became a registered nurse and moved to california to work at Pomona Valley hospital. Bill’s sister, Gerry Sporrer,

acted as the informer, keeping them aware of each other’s whereabouts. they were married in 1953. Bill worked in the Banking Industry from 1952 until 1969 when he ventured into the hotel Business, where over the next few decades, with the help of Donna, he built a successful company. In 1987, he relocated to Rancho Santa Fe from La habra heights, and eventually pursued his other passion – thoroughbred horse Racing, Breeding and ownership.

But through all his business triumphs, he did so much more for his family, friends and community, particularly Rancho Santa Fe. he always gave back to those less fortunate, establishing a Red cross clinic in Rosarito, Mexico, the San Pasqual academy, new alternatives, residential treatment for abused children, the herrick children’s center and so much more. his compassion and generosity will live on through the legacy he has established and through all of his family, which always came first. he can leave this earth in good conscience, with no enemies and all the love he showed to those around him. Loving family members include his wife, Donna; daughters, Kathleen Lathrum, Joan Scott, Leann Van Langen and Susan Galland; sons, Bill c. herrick and Joseph herrick, all residing in Rancho Santa Fe; and 20

grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. thank you for the kind words, thoughts and prayers through this very difficult time. and for those who celebrated his life with us over the past few days, thank you for showing your love and support. Bill would have been so proud of the celebration he had. he is probably a bit disappointed that he didn’t have the chance to tell everyone all his jokes! If there is any legacy we strive to lead, it is his. We will do our best to try and live up to him as our role model and listen to “the little voice inside our heads.” May he now rest in peace and bring laughter and smiles up in heaven.

San Diego Musical Theatre salutes 10th year with ‘Ragtime’ BY MARTI GACIOCH In 2006, Erin and Gary Lewis founded San Diego Musical Theatre (SDMT) as a professional, non-profit, theater organization that produces Broadway musicals. To launch the company’s 10th anniversary season, the early 20th century-centered musical “Ragtime,” will take the Spreckels Theatre stage, Feb. 5-21. “Ragtime” chronicles the journeys of three very different COURTESY New York families. “The characters include a San Diego Musical Theatre determined Jewish immigrant, will present ‘Ragtime,’ Tateh; a young Black Harlem Feb. 5-21 at Speckels musician, Coalhouse Walker Jr.; Theatre in downtown San and Mother, a high-society Diego. wife,” explained Erin Lewis, SDMT art director. “Their story of merging together for a common purpose is a timely tale relevant to current day USA — they’re all pursuing the American Dream during a volatile melting pot time.” In the story, these culturally different groups unite through their courage, passion and belief that there is something better and something more for themselves and the United States. “Ragtime” has a huge vocal score through which these diverse cultures come together by expressing themselves in music, ranging from gospel to brass band and ragtime. “The rich and varied turn-of-the-century music is amazing; it’s full of feeling and emotions as these families are thrown together by circumstances that weave them together with an uplifting ending,” Lewis said. Through its program, “You Give, We Give,” SDMT selects a nonprofit organization each year that complements its featured musical, and then donates 10 percent of any money given to the theater during that musical's run to the group. “This year, we chose three San Diego organizations to help: Armed Forces Services YMCA, Voices for Children and the Shiley/Marcos Alzheimer’s Relief Research Center at UC San Diego,” Lewis said. “We’ll invite all of the groups to our final dress rehearsal and then track them throughout the year to see how the musical theater experience affects them.” SDMT’s audience picked “Ragtime” as their top choice for this landmark season. Terence McNally wrote the book for “Ragtime,” Stephen Flaherty wrote the score that won a 1998 Tony Award, and Lynn Ahrens wrote the lyrics. The musical is based on a novel by E.L. Doctorow. ■ IF YOU GO: Tickets are $30-$70 at sdmt.org and (858) 560-5740. Discounts are available for seniors, military and children. In addition to “Ragtime,” SDMT will present “42nd Street” (May 27-June 12) and “The Producers” (Sept. 23-Oct. 9) in its 2016 season. Spreckels Theatre is at 121 Broadway, No. 600, in downtown San Diego. The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light. FROM JAIL, A7 According to 2013 statistics, there are approximately 700,000 incarcerated veterans in the U.S. jail and prison system, roughly 10 percent of the prison population. “It’s a big calling and it’s a tough one because it’s not going to go away,” Fink said. “I want to raise a sympathetic flag of community awareness that these veterans need our help.” She said she hopes everyone can find something in their world that they can do to help veterans, whether it’s a job slot or a way of supporting a veteran’s family. For Fink, she is doing her small part, spending her Fridays in jail watching films and helping to raise the bar of discussion and critical thinking. “My hope is when they leave they’re not leaving as the same man when they entered. It’s a lofty goal but I hope it works,” Fink said. “As a nation, we have got to all come up with something to thank them. Think of something you can do to help our veterans coming home.”

ORION CABLE: “THE BEST KEPT SECRET” IN RANCHO SANTA FE FOR HIGH-SPEED INTERNET SERVICE Finding a viable option for high-speed broadband Internet services when living in rural areas can be a challenge. Ask any of Rancho Santa Fe’s citizens who have made a home in the covenant’s beautiful but somewhat secluded area of San Diego county. Enter Orion Cable. The company’s owner, John Santhoff, wants Rancho Santa Fe residents to know there is an affordable option for high-speed Internet services. “You don’t have to settle for DSL, satellite Internet or point-to-point microwave service,” Santhoff said. Orion Cable has recently rolled out a 100 Mbps data rate plan for customers in Rancho Santa Fe and that service is available to more than 60 percent of homes within the Rancho Santa Fe covenant. “Orion is an independently owned company with the same services as Cox or Time Warner but with a real live person answering the phone when you call,” Santhoff said.

A lot of people in Rancho Santa Fe are excited to ﬁnd out they can get high-speed internet, digital TV and telephone services from us.

Sherlock Holmes heads to Nome in world premiere at NCRT

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Diana Saenger Fans of Detective Sherlock Holmes continue to be drawn by the mystery and excitement of stories that go down the wrong roads, turn around, come back and still leave questions about whodunit? Thanks to playwright Joseph Vass (“Words By Ira Gershwin”), there’s a new Holmes mystery unfolding on the North Coast Repertory Theater (NCRT) stage, “Sherlock Homes and The Adventure of The Great Nome Gold Rush.” NCRT artistic director David Ellenstein directs. As the curtain rises … we find Holmes hired by a family to defend their son, who is being charged with a murder he didn’t commit. The attempt to prove the son’s innocence takes Holmes to northwest Alaska. There, he encounters Wyatt Earp, and an assortment of wild and wooly characters. The British-American TV series, “Sherlock Holmes,” has gained huge audiences who are fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective. One of those new fans is Jason Maddy. He received his MFA at the University of Illinois and now is a teacher at Vahalla High School in El Cajon, directing plays and coaching students in acting and the technical aspects of theater. He takes on the role of Holmes in this world premiere. “I love the new Benedict Cumberbatch ‘Sherlock’ series (created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, it stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson),”

IF YOU GO “Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of The Great Nome Gold Rush,” runs through Feb. 14 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. There will be a talkback with the cast and director, following the Friday, Jan. 22 performance. Tickets from $39 at (858) 481-1055 and northcoastrep.org

AARON RUMLEY

Jason Maddy is Sherlock Holmes and Katie Karel is Charlotte Valcour Amason in Joseph Vass’s world premiere of ‘Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of The Great Nome Gold Rush’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre through Feb 14. Maddy said. “Cumberbatch rejuvenated the character for a modern society based on the idea of the way Holmes’ brain works and how it plays out. He’s brilliant and has an observant presence every single moment through the story. I was kind of a fan watching the TV series, and then I

Wicked humor.

Andrew Barnicle — is a big challenge for the intimate NCRT stage. Maddy, who has also directed or appeared in productions at Junior Theater, Old Globe, La Jolla Playhouse, NCRT and taught at Actors Alliance, understands this challenge very well. “It takes a village to stage a production and this theater has an amazing crew and designers who are incredibly supportive and accomplish amazing things on that stage,” he said. One of his favorite scenes is with a musician; it has a lot going on between the music and the words being spoken at the same time. “This play is a well-told story of intrigue, mystery, deception and laugh-provoking shenanigans,” Maddy said. “To tell the tale of the different worlds of London and Nome Alaska on this small stage is incredible. The costumes of the two different places are gorgeous. I’m especially happy with my Sherlock clothing.”

This class will explore Impressionism from a new perspective, asking why these young avant garde artists were willing to sacrifice so much -- material comfort and professional approbation - in order to devise a radically new art. Four major Impressionist painters will be highlighted -- Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet.

An innovator of West-Coast Pop and Conceptual Art, Ed Ruscha’s work defies and exceeds both categories, drawing upon popular media, commercial culture, and the landscape of Los Angeles. This tailored exhibition considers the artist’s use of recurring words, images, and themes across the decades. Join us for The Opening Night celebration on Friday, January 29, 2016 at 7 PM!

TO YOUR HEALTH BY JOHN CRONIN, M.D.

Natural ways to get a better night’s sleep

ith nearly half of Americans occasionally spending the night struggling to go to sleep or stay asleep, insomnia has become a major health issue. The National Sleep Foundation reports that 48 percent of Americans say they suffer from insomnia at least once in a while, and another 22 percent say they experience the condition nightly or almost nightly. The consequences of not getting enough sleep, particularly on an ongoing basis, can be significant. Insomnia can weaken the body’s immune system and lead to depression, anxiety, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, automobile accidents and missed work. Many people who have difficulty sleeping try medications to ease their insomnia, but those drugs can trigger troubling side effects in some cases. Fortunately, there are a number of natural approaches to getting a good night’s sleep that are effective in the long term, according to John Cronin, M.D., a sleep medicine specialist at Scripps Clinic. The first step in treating insomnia naturally is identifying its cause.

“

Benefits can come from practicing good sleeping habits, such as not watching TV in bed at night, and relaxation therapies, such as yoga and massage.

”

A trip to the doctor can rule out any illness or underlying health problems. Since some medications can interfere with sleep, a doctor or pharmacist can help evaluate the potential consequences of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The solution might be as simple as taking the medication in the morning instead of later in the day. Caffeine or nicotine can also interfere with sleep. While alcohol may cause drowsiness initially, it can disrupt sleep several hours later. Exercise can help promote sleep if done in the morning or afternoon, but working out just before bed can actually make sleep more difficult. Sleep can also be interrupted by depression, anxiety and stress about things such as work, finances, family problems, health or other issues. Identifying and resolving those issues can sometimes ease insomnia. Just talking

about stressful issues with a counselor or a physician can help relieve some of the stress and improve sleep. Benefits can come from practicing good sleeping habits, such as not watching TV in bed at night, and relaxation therapies, such as yoga and massage. Taking advantage of the body’s natural clock, which is driven by the rising and setting of the sun, can also be effective. Understanding how to use the circadian rhythm is a very powerful tool that doesn’t require a prescription. In general, people should follow these four simple rules if they are having trouble falling to sleep: ■ Reduce the time you spend in bed ■ Wake up at the same time every day ■ Go to bed only when you are sleepy ■ Don’t stay in bed if you are not sleeping John Cronin, M.D., is pulmonary medicine, critical care medicine and sleep medicine specialist with Scripps Clinic.

Zel’s Del Mar is community’s neighborhood restaurant, bar Zel’s Del Mar might not be the site of the 1980s sitcom, “Cheers,” but it’s becoming the local spot “where everybody knows your name.” “We’re a neighborhood restaurant and bar,” said Greg Glassman, who owns and operates Zel’s Del Mar alongside his wife, Jennifer Powers. “This is where you’ll see real people from Del Mar.” Located on historic Highway 101 in the heart of Del Mar Village, Zel’s Del Mar opened its doors in August 2009.

is rooted in local history. Zel’s Del Mar was named in honor of Glassman’s grandfather, Zelig Camiel, a longtime resident and businessman. For decades, he owned a liquor store on the corner of 15th Street and Camino del Mar, where Del Mar Plaza is now located. Having been a familiar figure in the community, Camiel was given the title “unofficial mayor of Del Mar” when he retired. After his death in 1987, he was honored with a bench in Seagrove Park, which now sits near the entryway of Zel’s Del Mar. “We love hearing stories from people who knew him back then,” Glassman said. “He was a real character.” Although raised in San Diego, Glassman often spent summers with his grandfather in Del Mar. So when the couple decided to open their own restaurant, the location, like the name, was also an easy decision. “Greg and I really built the place to really be a real local neighborhood bar and restaurant,” Powers said. “Fortunately, for us, we’ve really been able to cultivate that environment in the restaurant, which has been really cool.” Like many Del Mar businesses, Zel’s Del Mar is busiest in the summer. Although the couple is happy to get a

Paleo cooking event held at RSF Golf Club The Paleo Diet, locally championed by Dr. Dave Clayton, who has pioneered a healthy lifestyle system called "Extreme Wellness," was a hot topic at the recent cooking class at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. With expert instruction, thanks to Chef Brian Freerksen, with color commentary by Clayton, the class was a sell-out as attendees learned the delicious nuances of cooking Paleo. What some might call "The Caveman Diet," the Paleo diet has been proven by many to be a profound benefit to health — without being so restrictive that it is unsustainable. Students cooked an array of menu items, including Shrimp Chopped Salad, Mashed Cauliflower and Lamb Cops with Asparagus. All topped off with red wine (yes, that's Paleo friendly) and even dark chocolate. In addition to eating Paleo (for the most part), Clayton advocates an active lifestyle for which he has created a gym and training system. According to a submitted press release, followers of Clayton's program “have experienced significant weight loss, reduced bad cholesterol, reduced need for many medications and an overall vitality boost — even in the first 90 days.” Cooking classes at the RSF Golf Club are open to all Rancho Santa Fe Association members and their guests.

Broken Yolk Café serves popular home-style food daily in Del Mar Although Del Mar’s Broken Yolk Café just opened in the summer, it has already become a breakfast and lunch staple in the community. Owners Randy and McKenzie Corrigan, who live in Carmel Valley, were pleased to bring the popular restaurant chain close to home. “We always wanted to open up a store in the neighborhood,” Randy Corrigan said. Corrigan grew up in the restaurant business. Part of his family owned pizza places in Mexico. A La Jolla native, Corrigan and his family had also been longtime customers of the Broken Yolk Café in Pacific beach, the local chain’s original location. Believing in the concept, the Corrigans became the first Broken Yolk Café franchise owners. The couple opened their first Broken Yolk Café in Oceanside five years ago. A year later, they opened a second location in Carmel Mountain Ranch. Having lived in Carmel Valley for nearly a decade, Corrigan said it was an easy decision to open a third eatery in Del Mar.

“We live right around the corner,” said Corrigan, adding that the café holds fundraisers every week for local schools and sports organizations. The restaurant raised $10,000 during its soft opening for the Del Mar Union School District. “We’re excited to be here.” The Del Mar restaurant opened in August 2015 in the renovated Beachside Del Mar shopping center. Though new to Del Mar, Broken Yolk Café has served home-style food to San Diegans since 1979. Del Mar’s café continues the chain’s tradition of good food and good service. “It’s got a great reputation,” Corrigan said. “It’s always been owned and operated by family, even with the franchises. There’s a lot of hands-on operators.” Broken Yolk Café serves breakfast and lunch from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. With more than 13 different omelets plus a variety of breakfast favorites, including pancakes, waffles and French toast, there’s something for everyone at Broken Yolk Café. Breakfast specials for $6.95 are available

Broken Yolk Café serves breakfast and lunch from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. from 6-8 a.m. every day. Breakfast is served all day, but those craving lunch can choose from an array of half-pound Angus burgers, sandwiches and wraps, and soups and salads. “We’ve got large portions and fresh ingredients,” Corrigan said. The Del Mar café features Broken Yolk Café favorites, but it was also crafted specifically for the coastal community. The local spot is a little less than 4,000 square feet, with a cozy, covered outdoor patio. It’s the first to feature a contemporary

design and beachside theme with a Hamptons-style interior. It is also the first location with a breakfast bar instead of a breakfast counter. The café offers a specially designed drinks menu with signature breakfast cocktails. “It’s been great,” Corrigan said. “We’re excited for the future.” Broken Yolk Café is located at 2642 Del Mar Heights Road in Del Mar.

EVENT BRIEFS Two shows return to North Coast Rep Returning to the North Coast Rep stage is Richard Lederer, who will perform "Presidents Tonight!" After his sold-out performance of "Amazing Words" last year, Ellenstein wanted to bring Dr. Lederer back with his newest show "Presidents Tonight" on Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m.. The San Diego Union-Tribune history quizmaster and language columnist will offer a treasury of insights into the feats, fates, families and foibles of American presidents, including the patterns of their elections. Lederer is the author of more than 50 books about language, history, and humor, including his best-selling Anguished English series and his current books, Amazing Words, Lederer on Language, and Monsters Unchained! Lederer’s column, "Lederer on Language" appears weekly in the San Diego Union-Tribune, and he is a founding co-host of "A Way With Words" on KPBS Public Radio. He has been named International Punster of the Year and Toastmasters International’s Golden Gavil winner. During the performance, Lederer will auction off his services and the proceeds benefit North Coast Rep. The two auction items are the following: Lederer On Language. Lederer will come to your home, child’s school, house of worship, local library, service club, supper club, book club, or business to present whatever program of language learning and fun you wish. Poker 101. As the father of Howard "The Professor" Lederer and Annie Duke, "The

Princess of Poker," Lederer is the most successful breeder of world-class poker players in history. Lederer will instruct you in the fundamentals of the great American game of Texas Hold’em. There will be a book signing after the show and mingle with the audience. This is a benefit performance for North Coast Rep. It’s a fun evening of theatre. After his huge success with "The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron" at North Coast Rep, Robert Dubac returns with his other show "Book of Moron" on Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m. "Hilarious," "Intelligent," "Provocative," "Scorching" all describe Dubac’s new solo show The Book Of Moron! Combining theater with stand-up, Dubac buckles us up for a fast-paced joy ride over the pot-holed highways of cultural hypocrisy. Riding shotgun with intelligence and absurdity he crashes head first into the barriers of sex, race, religion, politics and the media.

North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

DAR samples history at Green Dragon Tavern and Museum De Anza Daughters fittingly took their Jan. 7 meeting to the Carlsbad Green Dragon Tavern and Museum, a replica of the Boston tavern where Sam Adams and other revolutionaries met to plan the Boston Tea Party and American Revolution and from whence Paul Revere left on his midnight ride. Complementing the setting, Tori Hemphill, Domonique and David D’Lima, members of the Red, White, and Blue Society, Children of the American Revolution, presented an educational skit on George Washington’s "oval offices," starting with the canvas oval marquees used for his office and sleeping quarters while commander-in-chief during the Revolution. Adele Lancaster, past regent of Oceanside’s Santa Marguerita chapter, addressed the group on the history and current status of six DAR approved/supported schools that originated in the early 1900s in remote and disadvantaged areas of the east coast and Alabama. Hindman

Settlement School, for example, opened in 1902 in mountainous eastern Kentucky, a region heavily settled through land grants to Revolution soldiers. As a special education teacher and National Vice Chair of DAR Educational Resources and Special Projects Grants in Education, Lancaster has a particular interest in the educational mission of DAR. "Education is the best way for a child to rise above his/her circumstances," Lancaster said. Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible to join. De Anza Chapter Lineage Committee provides assistance to prospective members. Regent Marti Meiners will conduct a genealogy workshop open to the public at Del Mar Library on Feb. 13, 9-11:30 a.m..

New Chief of Staff named at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla The physicians at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla have elected anesthesiologist Richard Unger, M.D., as the new chief of staff of the 444-bed campus, which includes the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute. Unger took over as head of the 975-member physician team on Jan. 1. During his two-year term, Unger will serve as medical staff liaison to Scripps La Jolla’s administrative staff and Scripps Health’s board of directors. He will play a key role in driving continuous quality improvement in the delivery of health care services to the more than 113,000 patients cared for each year at the hospital. He succeeds outgoing Chief of Staff M. Jonathan Worsey, M.D. "Dr. Unger brings strong leadership and communication skills to his new position," said Gary Fybel, the hospital’s chief executive. "He will continue his passionate support for his colleagues and the world-class care that they deliver to patients every day." Unger has been a member of the medical staff at Scripps La Jolla since 1987 and has held numerous medical staff leadership positions including chairman of anesthesiology, and has been a member of many committees including those for physician wellbeing and ethics.

He received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and his medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia. He served his internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and residency in anesthesiology at the University of California, San Diego. He is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Anesthesiology. Unger’s medical interests include the prevention of postoperative delirium, also known as ICU psychosis, a psychiatric condition in some patients that may be linked to the mix of medications used for surgery and post-operative sedation. He is also interested in the prevention of postoperative cognitive dysfunction through the use of new medications that prevent the body’s natural fight-or-flight response. Born in Richmond, Va., Unger was raised in San Francisco and now lives with his wife locally. The couple has three grown children and four granddaughters. Unger is an avid fan of the Cal Bears; he plays golf regularly; and he competes at a national level in bridge, which he started playing as a child with his parents.

St. James Academy students support San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House St. James Academy students joined the Red Shoe Crew recently to support families with children facing serious medical conditions at local hospitals. Throughout the day, students participated in activities to offer encouragement to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Eighth grade students led a presentation explaining the many services offered by the House. As part of the event, students collected donations in Ronald’s size 14 red shoes. Donations were made in honor of the Grimmer family in recognition of the connection the family has with both St. James Academy and the Ronald McDonald House. Through their efforts, the school was able to meet its goal to provide lodging and hot meals for families served by the House.

Surgeon expands charitable surgery with ConnectMed International BY ASHLEY MACKIN While a heartfelt thanks and admiration is in order for those who perform surgeries on children with birth defects and/or injuries in underserved countries, La Jolla surgeon Amanda Gosman has found a way to take treatment a few steps further. Gosman has worked with UC San Diego and Rady Children’s Hospital for the better part of 10 years. She has been UCSD’s director of craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery since 2006, and joined Rady Children’s Hospital as program director of the craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery fellowship in 2013. Putting her expertise to good use, Gosman founded a 501(c)3 called ConnectMed International in 2010, which uses “tele-medicine” to provide much-needed follow-up and pre-operative assessments to those in other countries who undergo surgery to repair cleft palates, burns or other injuries, as well as provide ongoing educational partnerships with their healthcare providers. “Here in San Diego, when we treat someone with a cleft palate, we provide them with ongoing care using a whole team approach, including orthodontists, speech therapists, audiologists, psychologists and follow-up examinations. We have a team of 10 people who focus on these different areas,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is replicate that experience in other parts of the world.” Although carried out with good intentions, Gosman said the lack of follow-up after performing surgery on those with birth defects or injuries can cause complications later on. “When surgeons go international, they might fix a cleft palate, but don’t always see how these kids do in the long run. For example, speech therapy is critical for those with repaired cleft palates, and while these countries

Enter ConnectMed International. Using tele-medicine in the form of live video conferencing or exchange of video files, physicians with expertise in needed fields from the United States can connect with medical teams in countries where those resources are limited or not available. She said she and her team have studied whether there is a difference in outcome with speech therapy care via tele-medicine or in person, and haven’t found any. As an added bonus, Gosman said this type of international outreach is a “great opportunity” for UCSD students. “Medical students in training can learn about using technology and treating international patients, which also helps get them interested in humanitarian work,” she said. “We have had students come together for tele-conferences to talk to a group of patients or

Born in Louisiana but raised in Ohio, Gosman started her international exploration with a trip to Guatemala and the Amazon to assist on a mobile surgical truck. “That was my first exposure to tele-medicine. We were able to screen patients in advance and follow up, even though it was just through radio at that time,” she said. “I learned about medical disparities throughout the world.” For years, Gosman traveled the world, performing surgeries on those in need, but the lack of follow-up always bothered her. Her first-hand experience

prompted the formation of ConnectMed International. Now, she is looking to the future of ConnectMed and how to improve services even further. “We’re working on developing a tool to measure outcomes and changes in quality of life following a procedure. But they need to be developed with appropriate language for difference cultures and languages, so we’re developing one in English and in Spanish so patients can report quality of life changes, which is one of the most important components and a lot of our justification for doing surgery,” she said. “We get to use technology to overcome a lot of international barriers and strengthened a lot of medical systems.”

Gelson’s opens Jan. 14 in Del Mar

Gelson’s Markets opened its first-ever San Diego-area store in Del Mar on Jan. 14, located at 2707 Via de la Valle. Gelson’s is also thanking its first 200 customers with a gift bag valued at $20. In addition, customers will have the opportunity to sample featured merchandise and dishes throughout the opening week. “We’re very excited to be opening our first San Diego location,” says Rob McDougall, Gelson’s president & CEO. “I believe we will prove ourselves beneficial to the community by providing premium-quality merchandise and exceptional customer service, while also re-employing the dedicated workforce that was subject to the Haggen crisis.” Gelson’s remodeled the existing store which now features new salad, hot foods and antipasti bars; a carving cart within the service deli; wellness set; and an enhanced juice and cut fruits counter. The store also features upgraded check stands and a customer service desk to facilitate the company’s signature service offerings. The supermarket chain purchased three locations in San Diego from Haggen after the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2015. A fast re-opening with a few essential improvements was a priority in order to re-employ existing Haggen associates, some of whom have worked at the location for many years under previous ownership. An extensive remodeling is slated later in 2016. Gelson’s is also on track to open new stores in Carlsbad on Feb. 11 and Pacific Beach in late March.

Exhibit sheds light on Chinese workers of Transcontinental Railway FROM UCSD REPORTS A new exhibit that tells the undocumented story of thousands of Chinese migrants, who played an instrumental role in the construction of the nation’s first transcontinental railway in the 1860s, is on display through Feb. 29 in Geisel Library on UC San Diego campus. Produced by the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) and the Chinese Railroad Workers Project at Stanford University, “The Chinese and the Iron Road: Building the Transcontinental,” seeks to increase awareness and appreciation for the contributions of Chinese Americans. To celebrate the opening, a free, public reception will be held 3-5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22, in the Seuss Room in Geisel Library with remarks from organizers, including Murray Lee, Curator of Chinese American History for the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum. To make a reservation, visit http://lib.ucsd.edu/ironroad CHSA is continuing to collaborate with the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University (CRRW), which seeks to identifying descendants of railroad worker families to honor the memory and legacy of their pioneer forefathers. By sharing the stories of the descendants of known Chinese railroad workers who helped to build the American West, the initiative hopes to increase awareness and appreciation for the significant role the workers played in completing a monumental and life-changing project.

COURTESY OF THE KYLE WATT COLLECTION

The exhibit traces the laborious and often perilous four-year construction (1865-1869) of the U.S.’s first major east-west railroad, beginning with the bill signed by President Lincoln authorizing the undertaking. Some 12,000 Chinese laborers toiled at a grueling pace, and in extremely dangerous working conditions to help construct the railroad, which was actually two railways meeting in the middle — the Central Pacific from Sacramento to the east and Union Pacific from Omaha to the west.

Guilt-free comfort foods to ward off the winter blues

hen it’s cold and dreary outside our bodies, like seasonal clocks, crave warm, hearty, stick-to-your-ribs foods that are typically loaded with cheeses, butter, cream, fatty meats and other artery-choking monsters. Let’s turn over a new leaf this winter with healthy comfort foods that’ll still warm the cockles of your heart, but won’t clog them. One Pot Wonders Slow-cooked Moroccan tagines blending chicken, lamb or fish with dried fruits, assorted vegetables, preserved lemons and exotic herbs and spices are braised to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness in conical shaped pots that resemble the Tin Man’s hat in The Wizard of Oz. Traditionally served on a bed of fluffy couscous, these stews are as nutritious as they are satisfying and delicious. Whip up a healthier version of classic Italian ragùs or meat-based sauces using low fat offerings from immune-boosting lamb and organic chicken and turkey to a blend of wild mushrooms or sautéed eggplant. Simmer in lighter broths, wine or tomato-based sauces rather than creamy and buttery ones. Toss with low carb egg noodles. What a fine kettle of omega 3-rich fish in a bowl of seafood "chowdah," French bouillabaisse and Italian cioppino. While the latter two stews have an abundance of

oceanic treasures still residing in their shells that require special seafood utensils, for low maintenance chowder you just dig in. A lower cholesterol and carb chowder can be prepared with a tomato broth rather cream, along with celery root chunks instead of potatoes. While cioppino typically has mussels, clams, scallops, shrimps, Dungeness crab and a firm fish swimming in a tomato base, bouillabaisse is a traditional Provençal mélange of sea gems including, monkfish, turbot, octopus and lobster simmered in fish stock and white wine with leeks, diced tomatoes and herbes de Provence creating a heart-warming aromatic broth. Finger in the Pie Shepherd’s pie, aptly named after the herders of sheep who fortified themselves in the pastures with a hearty dish of meat scraps and potatoes. The modern recipe has been refined into a savory casserole of ground beef, mixed vegetables, sautéed onions, and topped with a layer of mashed potatoes. To trim down traditional Shepherd’s pie, use ground lamb, chicken or turkey, and sliced potatoes or other roots whether celeriac, rutabaga or yams for a lighter crust. Pot pies can also be slimmed down using mashed avocados in the crust instead of butter, and a mushroom stock or wine base rather than cream.

Cut the Cheese Do a lighter riff on lasagna by loading the layers with vegetables, like Portobello’s, zucchini and eggplant, along with swapping out traditional ricotta and high fat mozzarella cheeses with more easily digestible goat and fresh buffalo mozzarella. Use the same fat-trimming principle for macaroni and cheese, and toss in some roasted crucifers, such as baby Brussels sprouts or cauliflower florets for an antioxidant oomph.

Roll Call Stuffed cabbage rolls are popping up everywhere from delis to five-star restaurants. Jewish cabbage rolls called holishkls, a concoction of ground beef, rice and raisins, enveloped in cabbage leaves, and simmered in a sweet and sour tomato sauce trace back 2,000 years to eastern Europe during fall festival celebrations. As healthy as they are hearty, the cabbage leaves provide a powerhouse of antioxidants and B vitamins to prevent assorted cancers, reduce "bad cholesterol," amp up immunity and energy levels, while calming jittery nerves. The tomato sauce packed with Vitamins C, A, B6, niacin and lycopene is believed to curb heart and age-related diseases

From Russia with love, here is my Grandma’s old world-recipe for cabbage rolls using low fat ground chicken breast for a healthy comfort dish during cooler months and beyond. Stuffed Cabbage Rolls For the rolls 1 head green cabbage 1 pound ground chicken or turkey breast 1/2 cup cooked basmati rice 1 onion, minced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon olive oil 1/2 cup Thompson raisins Sea salt, cracked black pepper to taste For the sauce 1 red pepper, coarsely chopped 1 onion, coarsely chopped Juice from 1 lemon 1/4 cup brown sugar 18 ounces diced tomatoes 8 ounces tomato puree or sauce 1 tablespoon olive oil Sea salt, cracked black pepper to taste 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Remove core from cabbage. Steam in a pot of simmering water until soft. Separate the leaves. Set aside. In a large pot sauté onion and pepper in oil until tender. Add tomatoes, sauce, sugar, juice and seasonings. Simmer. In a large mixing bowl, combine meat, rice, onion, garlic, oil, raisins and seasonings. To prepare the rolls, lay each leaf flat and form logs with the meat at the root end. Roll envelope-style and tuck in edges. Place rolls in the sauce and simmer for one hour, or until cooked through. Serve over basmati rice.

pet of the week Shania, a 5-year-old

American Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a new family. She was found as a stray last August, and has been showing her caregivers what a sweet and talented girl she is. When she’s out for playtime, this silly girl loves to sit in chairs, play with toys and run around the yard. The shelter has been quite stressful on this loving girl because she can’t get the affection she craves from a family, so she doesn’t always put her best paw forward while in her kennel. But if you give her a chance, Shania is one of the most social and affectionate dogs you’ll ever meet. She loves to be snuggled and will often rest her head in your lap until she falls asleep. If you’re looking for a dog who will stick by your side, she’s the girl for you! Shania is available for adoption at the San Diego humane Society’s Oceanside Campus at 2905 San Luis Rey Road. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357.

Hilltop varsity tournament.

TPHS wrestlers win medals On New Year's Day, a couple of brave Torrey Pines wrestlers — Jack Callan and Joe Anthony — headed to Torrey Pines State Beach for the Annual Polar Bear Plunge. Not sure if the coaches were in favor of this "chilling" idea as they were focusing on getting the team ready for a very busy month of competition. Fortunately, despite the freezing plunge, no one got sick. The next morning, as it was dark and

chilly outside, all the wrestlers boarded the bus for the 45-minute ride to Mira Mesa High School. For hours they competed against six other schools. At the end the coaches could not be more proud of the team winning a total of 5 medals: two bronze medals won by Jack Callan and Tyler Best; two silvers won by Paulo Dominice and Joe Anthony; and one gold medal by Peter “Pierre” Thomas.

Varsity Falcon wrestlers competed in another grueling tournament the following week at Hilltop High School, which resulted in a total of four medals: three bronze won by Paulo Dominice, Joe Anthony and Cole Nguyen; and one silver won by Peter "Pierre" Thomas. On the same day, JV Falcon wrestler Joshua Hornilla also brought home a gold medal at their Junior Varsity tournament in Otay Ranch.

Lighting the Way to the Most Dramatic Home Theater in San Diego San Diego Home Theater Experts, Modern Home Systems, on lighting your home theater properly. Lights! Camera! Action! It’s no wonder that a great production needs the right light to set the tone. Your home theater is no exception. Outstanding indoor lighting is one of the best ways to distinguish your home theater, and thanks in part to a recent article at CE Pro , here are the best ways to create ambiance and accentuate your space with sensational lighting.

Temperature Did you know that lighting temperature can significantly alter the quality of your home theater? Lights should ideally be set at 6,500 Kelvin. When light temperature is too strong, it can lead to off-set colors. For example, certain temperatures can change the fidelity of the screen, setting hues offbalance. Dimmable LED lighting is the ideal choice for lighting your home theater. Click here to see some examples of how we’ve used light to create the perfect ambiance using just the right temperatures. Lighting Automation Dramatic home theater, San Diego, La Jolla It goes without saying that watching Jurassic Park is completely different than tuning into the 6 o’ clock news. Your lighting should reflect the mood appropriately and automation can set that dream into motion. For example, when you watch the news, your lighting can be programmed

to illuminate into a bright setting. On the other hand, when you’re ready to watch a movie, the lights can dim to perfect theater level. Automation makes lighting incredibly easy. Zoned Lighting In many cases, it makes sense to zone lighting controls. Depending on how your room is set up, you’ll want to take into consideration which part of the room deserves the greatest amount of light versus the area of the room that ought to be dim. Create light installations on unique circuits to customize the look even further. We’ll help you map out a lighting plan that best suits your home theater. Accentuate with Light We work with many San Diegans who want a custom home theater. Regardless of the style you choose, you’ll want to use light to accentuate the space. We can use lighting to draw attention to any facet

of the room – a tiered ceiling, awesome speakers, movie posters or architectural details. Wall sconces, overhead LED lighting and backlighting are all great ways to draw attention to various aspects of the room without detracting from the main show. Themed Theaters You can do so much with proper lighting. From setting the tone to creating a theme, lighting can make or break the space. In one of our recent projects, we used light to theme a Star Wars home theater. Imagine this space without any light at all! It would have instantly fallen ﬂat. This project utilized automation, distributed audio and perfect lighting to create the perfect home theater theme. Get the right lighting in your home theater today.

Malashock Dance to get close, personal with audiences ‘Malashock Signatures’ will be staged at end of Jan. BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Malashock Dance is stepping out into its 28th season with “Malashock Signatures,” a program featuring two “signature” pieces and two world premieres by artistic director John Malashock that will be staged in their studio at NTC Liberty Station the last two weekends in January. “I love doing big collaborative projects in larger theaters,” said Malashock, in a pre-New Year’s interview. “But there’s distance there. In our studio, audiences will get to see everything from just a few feet away. They’ll be able to feel a real connection to the performances and the performers.” The works will include: ■ “Silver & Gold” one of Malashock’s most popular pieces. This duet presents two sides of a relationship. Malashock calls it a personal favorite. “I love the storytelling possibilities of relationships and this is a piece everyone seems to respond to,” he said. “Sometimes I get tired of seeing my own work, but never this one.”

JIM CARMODY

A ‘headstack’ from ‘Dreams & Prayers,’ one of the signature pieces Malashock Dance will perform in their intimate studio setting this month.

■ “Dreams & Prayers” an intensely physical, dramatic and spiritual piece, based on Jewish mysticism. “It’s almost trance-like, full of cosmic energy,” Malashock noted. ■ “Incoming” (World premiere), a quirky piece about finding moments of tenderness in a world of constant, often aggressive, input. “We all struggle with how much is coming at us all the time and the effort it takes to find some sort of balance,” Malashock said. “Even being out on the roads during the holidays is a sort of war-zone!” ■ “Times Unremembered” (world premiere) a dramatic quartet exploring childhood memories. “There’s a quote from Jung I like about ‘revisiting the religion of your childhood,’ ” Malashock said. “He didn’t just mean religion, but the things we found unusual and mysterious as children, and have pretty much kept hidden since then.

JIM CARMODY

‘Lunar Landing,’ a segment from Malashock Dance’s ‘Dreams & Prayers’

At the entry to her exhibition space, Margaret Noble poses with one of her two fenced-in music boxes.

I’m trying to have a childlike quality to the movement, and the music is extraordinary — lush, and full of beautiful vocals. It’s by Sarah Kirkland Snider, one of the co-founders of New Amsterdam Records, which supports contemporary composers whose work is unique and appealing.” Malashock noted that the world premieres will truly be world premieres, works-in-progress that won’t be finished until the first performance. And he’s eager to see how the program plays out.

Four of the ‘Date Night’ organizers, all MFA students at UC San Diego: Trevor Amery, Kim Schreiber, Morgan Mandalay and Seth Ferris.

“The four works are all very different, but they really complement each other,” he said. “I’m excited about the makeup of the whole event, and can’t wait to see how people react to it in our intimate setting.” ♦ — IF YOU GO: “Malashock Signatures” begin 7:30 p.m. Jan. 22-24 and Jan. 28-31 at The Abbe Wolfsheimer Studio at NTC Liberty Station, 2650 Truxtun Road, Suite 200, Point Loma.

FROM ZELS, B4 Glassman and Powers have witnessed their customers get married and have children. Two of the restaurant’s hostesses are the children of longtime customers. Now high school students, the local teens landed their first job with Zel’s Del Mar. “A lot of people started coming in 2009 and have really grown with us,” Powers said. With roots in the past, the restaurant is also always looking toward the future. Executive Chef Saga Horner was brought on board about three years ago. Horner, who was trained at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Portland, overhauled the entire menu. All breads, dressings and desserts are now made in-house. Rotating the menu with the seasons, the best-selling burgers, house made flatbread pizzas and fresh fish have become local favorites. “He’s a great fit for the restaurant,” Powers said. “He’s really great at creating dishes that really fit with the personality of the restaurant.

More recently, the menu was expanded to also offer breakfast. “It’s still in the process of building and growing,” said Powers, adding that the restaurant also offers takeout. In the spring, the couple plans to bring a local coffee roaster on board, complete with a coffee bar outside the restaurant. “It will help activate the corner,” Glassman said. Glassman and Powers constantly consider new ways to build their business but also be involved in the community. Not long after opening Zel’s Del Mar, they relocated

to the city. Glassman, who runs his own real estate company, now sits on Del Mar’s Business Support Advisory Committee and Traffic & Parking Advisory Committee. The restaurant also sponsors the opening acts for Del Mar Foundation’s Summer Twilight Concerts. After all, music is another big part of Zel’s Del Mar, where live music is featured 7-10 p.m. on Thursdays, 8-11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 6-9 p.m. on Sundays. “We want to be part of the community,” Glassman said. “We want to be involved with the community, help the town and give back.” For more about Zel’s Del Mar, call 858-755-0076 or visit zelsdelmar.com.
