BY KAREN BILLING At a special board meeting on Jan. 21, the Rancho Santa Fe School District board had one item on the agenda: Accept the voluntary retirement of Superintendent Lindy Delaney. "Do we have to?" asked board clerk Marti Ritto, echoing the reaction of the long list of people who were surprised by Delaney’s decision. "I was thinking this morning,

what if I just said ‘no’?" RSF School District Board President Tyler Seltzer said. Seltzer called for the vote anyway and the three trustees present voted aye, "reluctantly, with respect and sadness." Not many people have held the title of Rancho Santa Fe School District superintendent — Dr. R. Roger Rowe retired in 2002 after serving 37 years as its superintendent and Daniel

Vinson served briefly before Delaney took on the role in 2004. Delaney told trustees she loves what she does but her decision was made simply because "it’s time." Her retirement is effective July 1, 2016. "It has been the greatest privilege of my life to spend my career working on behalf of the children and families of the SEE DELANEY, A20

Water board suspends penalties for customers, raises employee pay BY JOE TASH Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District will no longer face penalties for using more than their monthly allotment of water, after the district's board of directors voted to suspend a controversial water allocation program. The district established the allocation program — a form of water rationing — for the first time in its 93-year history in May, following a state mandate that the agency cut its water use by 36 percent, or face daily fines of up to $10,000. At the time, California was grappling with a four-year drought. The restrictions resulted in some district customers receiving penalties of hundreds of dollars, according to testimony at the board's meeting on Thursday, Jan. 21. Earlier this month, state water regulators announced that the mandated cutbacks would be eased in recognition of the new seawater desalination plant that came online in December. Santa Fe officials said they expect their water-use reduction target to be lowered to 28 percent in February. "This is good news," district general manager Mike Bardin told the board Thursday. While he said San Diego County water officials want reduction targets to be lowered even SEE WATER, A19

Solana Beach School District surveys voters on bond feasibility BY KRISTINA HOUCK A few hundred people were recently surveyed to help the Solana Beach School District decide whether to place a general obligation bond on the ballot this year. Encinitas-based True North Research conducted the poll throughout December. Although the results are still being analyzed, the school board received a status report on the poll during the Jan. 14 meeting. Of the 19,433 likely voters in the district’s boundaries, 300 people were randomly selected to participate in the poll. Interviews were conducted over the phone, with 40-50 percent of respondents on mobile devices. “We’re in a time right now where not everybody has a landline anymore, so it was a split between landlines and mobile phones,” Superintendent Terry Decker said.

True North Research used a computer-assisted system called CATI, or Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing, to conduct the interviews. The system alerts interviewers to data entry errors, navigates skip patterns and randomizes appropriate questions. Interviews were conducted from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. On average, interviews lasted 17 minutes. The poll is the district’s latest step in exploring whether to place a general obligation bond on the ballot. Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools and a child development center. In 2014, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School, in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools,

however, opened decades ago and need to be updated. Skyline School, for example, was constructed in phases between 1955 and 1961 and was modernized in 2000. In preparation for a potential bond measure, the district is currently working with architects and engineers on improvement projects for the schools, including identifying areas of need and determining project timeframes. If the district moves forward with a bond on the November ballot and the measure passes, the district would need to submit its plans to the Division of the State Architect by December 2016. The Division of State Architect provides design and construction oversight for K-12 schools, community colleges, and various other state-owned and leased facilities. Construction could then start as early as summer 2017, according to district staff.

RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT BY ANN BOON

Great communities are defined by their trees

he Arroyo Property in Rancho Santa Fe gained 25 new native trees last weekend thanks to a wonderful community tree planting event. Covenant residents and families came together with the RSF Committee on the Natural Environment (CONE), Tree San Diego and the Stanford Alumni Club to repopulate our park. CONE was formed four years ago to protect the rural natural environment of Rancho Santa Fe and educate the public about the environment. Under the direction of chair Bill Beckman, the committee is focused on our trees and water availability. About six months ago CONE invited Tree San Diego to its monthly meeting and the idea of a tree planting event was created. Tree San Diego’s mission is to impact significantly the quantity of quality urban forest in Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego County to make the region a healthier place to live, work and play. The Stanford Club had previously partnered with Tree San Diego on another planting event, and since Bill Beckman is a Stanford alumnus, the partnership was a natural. For those of you who have not been to our beautiful Arroyo, it’s 60+ acres along the San Dieguito River that includes camp sites, a small fishing pond, trails for hiking and horseback

riding, a fire pit and picnic tables. The property is located at 17261 El Vuelo. The site was selected for its open space and need for additional trees and shade. Bill Beckman kicked off the morning stating, “Great communities are defined by their trees. That is especially true in Rancho Santa Fe.” Well stated, Bill. About 50 people got their hands a bit dirty on Saturday morning as they dug holes, planted saplings, applied mulch and watered our new trees. We had good representation from the Covenant with planters ranging from 2-year-old Andrew Walker and his family to the LaRocca and Rhoten tweens, and longtime resident Joan Voelz. We also had volunteers from our various committees including CONE member Dagmar Helgager, Trails Committee member Jeff Simmons and CDRC member Sharon McDonald. Volunteers from Tree San Diego and the Stanford Club joined in the fun. The goals of the tree planting were to reforest Rancho Santa Fe, engage community members and educate property owners about the benefits of trees. The 25 trees planted were native species Valley Oaks, California Sycamores and Western Redbuds. We should be able to enjoy the stately oaks and sycamore for another 150 years, while the beautiful purple redbuds should be around

Each tree will be equipped with its own GPS tracker, provided by Tree San Diego, and so those who planted the trees can keep tabs on “their” trees via a special Tree Tracker URL. The trees are already part of the Tree San Diego online map. You can see each tree, location and type planted at http://opentreemap.org/sandiegotreemap. Melanie Conomikes of Tree San Diego explained the many perks of trees, which benefit all residents. Trees increase property values with buyers willing to spend 10 percent to 15 percent more for homes in neighborhoods with healthy and abundant trees. Trees also decrease energy bills, improve air quality, keep water out of storm sewers and decrease carbon dioxide emitted from vehicles. Just as important, trees have been shown to enhance the quality of our lives by making us feel better and heal faster. I know many residents are concerned about water usage when considering planting trees on their property. We learned that trees use a relatively small amount of water and should be given a higher priority when cutting back on

landscape watering. Lawns and shrubs can be more easily replaced than a mature tree, which can be costly to remove and take many years to replace. Plus, shade provided by trees is especially important to lawns during periods of drought. While the planting was a wonderful event for the Arroyo, it is also a reminder for all of us to maintain our trees and replace trees that are dead or dying. As you may have seen on your property or elsewhere, drought has had an effect on many trees in the Ranch. Disease and pests have also taken their toll. According to Tree San Diego, a new exotic pest is introduced to trees every 60 days. So, diversity of species is important to consider when planting a new tree, as well as whether the species is the indigenous to the area. Thank you to all of the families and residents who gave part of their Saturday morning to help beautify Arroyo Park. You worked hard. I hope that you come back often to check on “your” trees and feel pride in your participation. When you visit your trees, I hope you will also notice the wildlife that will be attracted to the new plantings. Kudos to Bill Beckman and the CONE committee for coordinating such a great event for the community. We appreciate the committee’s ongoing efforts to make sure the Rancho Santa Fe of the future will be recognized for its beautiful forested areas. Thanks also to Tree San Diego and the Stanford Club for sponsoring the event with CONE. We appreciate your enthusiasm and expertise. Finally, a thank you to Field Operations Manager Arnold Keene and his crew who worked to identify the site, prepare the land for planting and assist with the event. They are the ones who will be caring for our trees in the future. For more information on the Arroyo property and hours of operation, please email Arnold Keene at Arnold@rsfassociation.org.

Local teacher attends ‘Day of Remembrance’ Ceremony Rowe School’s David Warner was invited by NASA to attend the event The Astronauts Memorial Foundation (AMF) is hosting a “Day of Remembrance” Ceremony Jan. 28 on the 30th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger accident. They are honoring the crew of Challenger, as well as paying tribute to all of the astronauts who have sacrificed their lives for this nation and the space program. Former astronaut Barbara Morgan is the keynote speaker, followed by an address from Kennedy Space Center Director Bob Cabana. R. Roger Rowe School Teacher David Warner was invited by NASA to attend the event. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan announced that a teacher would be chosen as the first private citizen to fly into space aboard a space shuttle. During the application period, more than 11,000 teachers applied. By June 1985, NASA had David chosen 114 Warner semifinalists, one of

class. During our reading lessons, I would build great ships and blast off into outer space.” Although he wasn’t selected, he was in the review stands at Cape Canaveral with Christa McAuliffe’s parents when the shuttle exploded shortly after liftoff.

Warner said, “I wondered if the other teacher finalists standing near me shared the same emotions that I did; the excitement of the launch, the camaraderie of teachers sharing a common goal, and the envy of one who would actually experience that which we could only dream. I wondered how many thought, ‘That could have been me.’” Reflecting on spaceflight, Warner added, “Spaceflight always has been, and will be, risky. The crews of Challenger and Columbia embraced the risk in a shared pursuit of exploration and discovery. Today their legacy lives on as the International Space Station fulfills its promise as a symbol of hope for the world and a springboard to the next giant leap in exploration.” During the years following his involvement with the Teacher in Space program, Warner helped form the Teacher in Space Foundation, which later merged with the Challenger Center (www.challenger.org), and taught for three summers at Stanford’s Space Sciences Academy. Warner taught in private schools in Connecticut and Massachusetts, before moving to San Diego. He began teaching at the R. Roger Rowe School in 1996 and helped form its robotics program four years ago.

Make-A-Wish SD launches President’s Circle Research suggests that as many as 317 children in the San Diego community will be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness this year, and Make-A-Wish San Diego is committed to making their wishes come true without delay. Currently, Make-A-Wish San Diego is reaching two-thirds of medically eligible children, but one in three eligible children in San Diego have not been granted a wish. To narrow this gap, Make-A-Wish San Diego has recently created an exclusive President’s Circle to assist in making every wish come true for San Diego children. Rancho Santa Fe philanthropists Hélène and George Gould are the inaugural founders of the President’s Circle, and have pledged a $250,000 matching gift that will allow all gifts from new donors to have twice the impact on wishes for kids with life-threatening medical conditions. Donors who give $50,000 or more will join the Goulds in the exclusive President’s Circle. “When Make-A-Wish San Diego told us about their

Back in the swing Mickelson feeling better with a new coach, new swing after sub-par 2015 By TOD LEONARD Phil Mickelson was confused, frustrated, basically feeling like most golfers on the planet. He’d set up to hit a shot, visualize it, make a swing, and the result was nothing like he imagined. Soft draws became wild hooks. Fades were over-sliced. And every flaw was magnified with the driver, a club that had become the most obvious obstacle to adding victories to Mickelson’s 42-win resume. The average hack looks at a video of his own swing and doesn’t recognize himself. Just a couple of months ago, that was Mickelson. “What I was feeling and what I was doing were so far apart that it took a real effort,” Mickelson said on Thursday, Jan. 21, at La Quinta Country Club, where his newly fashioned swing made a relatively successful debut in his first PGA Tour event of the new season. Playing relaxed and in control, with only a couple of slightly wayward shots that were balanced by twice holing out from off the green, Mickelson shot a 4-under-par 68 in the first round of the CareerBuilder Challenge. The effort put the San Diegan four

shots off the lead shared by four players— Jerry Kelly, Jason Dufner, Jeff Overton, Anirban Lahiri — but it was a step in the right direction for a player who had been stumbling around in the dark. “It’s been a lot more drastic process than I thought it would be,” Mickelson, 45, admitted. The five-time major winner hasn’t scored a victory since the 2013 British Open — the tournament few thought he’d ever snag. Since then, he has four second-place finishes, including the 2015 Masters. But he hasn’t been in the thick of tournaments nearly as much, and in early November, Mickelson dropped out of the top 25 in the world rankings for the first time in 20 years. It was about that same time that Mickelson flew to Las Vegas to tell his longtime instructor, Butch Harmon, that he wanted to move on. It was not an easy decision. Under Harmon’s tutelage, Mickelson won 12 times on tour, including two majors. Mickelson then hooked up with an under-the-radar instructor, Australian Andrew Getson, who works out of Grayhawk, Mickelson’s

Phil Mickelson tees off on the first hole during the first round of the CareerBuilder Challenge at La Quinta Country Club. former home course in Scottsdale, Ariz. “I was frustrated with the way I’ve been playing,” Mickelson said. “I knew that I had a lot higher level of golf in me, but I wasn’t doing it.” Getson, 41, who has worked with tour pro Kevin Streelman and Bill Clinton, is not an attention-seeker. He drifted far away from the gallery while following Mickelson on Jan. 21, and he politely declined an interview request. Mickelson said of him: “He’s not very self-promotional. … That’s never been a part of his personality, before I met him or afterward.” Something has seemingly clicked between

them. Mickelson is now speaking intensely about the plane of his swing. He said he has altered the plane by 12 inches, taking the club back at a steeper angle while bringing it flatter into the ball. “My swing is back on plane, and so that means that all the feel and touch and release and draws and fades will eventually come back,” Mickelson said. “Now I’m just working on touch.” Mickelson’s drives and irons were never far off in the first round. He put himself into a bad spot only twice, leading to his only bogeys — a tough uphill lie in a fairway bunker at 14 and a position behind a tree when he hit an iron

off the tee at 17. Mickelson shot a 31 on the front nine with no one-putt birdies. He needed only long irons to reach two par-5s (5 and 6) in two shots, holed out a 98-yard wedge on the eighth hole, and chipped in from 25 feet behind the green at 9. “It was a really good round because it felt easy,” Mickelson said. “It didn’t feel like I was working, like I was fighting.” The CareerBuilder first round marked the return of the PGA West Stadium Course to the former Bob Hope tournament for the first time in 29 years. Abandoned by the tour because the players considered it too difficult in 1987, it played the most difficult on Thursday, but not by much. The Stadium scoring average was 71.82, followed by La Quinta (69.59) and the PGA West Nicklaus Tournament Course (69.42). The four leaders who shot 64 were split between La Quinta and Nicklaus. Kelly, who turns 50 in November, made two eagles at La Quinta, where Lahiri, a second-year tour player from India, was bogey-free with eight birdies. Dufner, the winner of the 2013 PGA Championship, drained eight birdies on the Nicklaus, and Overton, winless in 273 career starts, notched nine with a bogey. Note: Dufner ended up winning the tournament with a par on the second hole of a playoff Jan. 24. Mickelson tied for third at 21 under. Leonard writes for The San Diego Union Tribune.

RSF residents ready to get ‘All shook up’ Pacific Ridge School will be presenting "All Shook Up" as its 8th annual musical production. The high school show includes student performers from Rancho Santa Fe and takes place on Friday, Feb. 5, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 6, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. All performances will be held at Vista's AVO Playhouse, and tickets can be purchased at vistixonline or directly at the box office. "All Shook Up" takes place in 1955, and follows the story of a square little town that’s turned on its head by the arrival of a hip-swiveling, lip-curling, guitar-playing roustabout. Inspired by Shakespeare’s "Twelfth Night," and scored by a collection of Elvis Presley’s greatest hits, the energetic production will leave audiences tapping their blue suede shoes and believing in the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. "This musical is fun and different, and it really showcases the talent of the students we have this year," said Director Fredreka Irvine. Irvine said the 46 students in the cast and crew have been hard at work for months, often rehearing five times a week and three hours a day in preparation for opening

The majority of students involved, such as Rancho Santa Fe residents John Meader, a sophomore, and junior Vanessa Andre, have prior experience in theater and musicals. Andre, one of the lead dancers, said it is going to be a really lively show. Pacific Ridge School is located at 6269 El Fuerte, Carlsbad, 92009.

Seventeen students from Pacific Ridge School were among over 800 high school delegates from around the country to participate in Columbia University’s 15th annual Model United Nations Conference and Exposition (CMUNCE) Jan. 14-17. Rancho Santa Fe resident Michael Rattner, a sophomore, was among the conference’s award winners, receiving Best Delegate honors for his work with classmate Connie Yu of Carlsbad. The two students served as a dual delegation in a committee addressing Bolivia’s 2003 "Gas War." According to Michael, participating in a national conference like CMUNCE was exhilarating. "It was an incredibly high-powered debate," he said. "Model UN brings together people who really care about current events and it’s a great chance to compare your views and ideas with other people who also care." The Columbia conference is known for its fast-paced crisis committees, which allow students to react quickly and

address real-world scenarios in international affairs. Pacific Ridge students are particularly adept at crisis committee work, as it is a mainstay of the conference they co-host each year with High Tech High North County. The two schools hosted the 5th annual North County Regional Conference in December. "Crisis scenarios add a lot to the experience," noted Josh Kahn, a Pacific Ridge senior from Encinitas who also took home a Best Delegate award. "Delegates have to be adaptable and think on their feet. It makes the conference fun, but they also need to really understand the issues in order to respond to unanticipated events." Josh won his award for a historical committee addressing the 1777 Grand Council of the Iroquois Nations. Model UN events allow students to role play as world delegates to solve international issues. To prepare for conferences, students do research and write position papers for their committees. At the event, student delegates function as the real United Nations would, debating issues and forming resolutions. Students who participate in Model UN display a firm grasp of historical and current affairs, and give their analytical and public speaking skills a good workout.

Village Viewpoints presents Dr. Stephen Wilson on Immunotherapy: New Era in Medicine Jan. 31 The immune system is central to our health and wellbeing but, until recently, scientists have been unable to call on the body’s own defenses in a predictable way. Thanks to recent dramatic advances in technology and fundamental discoveries in the lab, the immune system can now be marshaled to treat and prevent illnesses that have historically eluded medicine. On Jan. 31 at the Village Church, Dr. Stephen Wilson, an immunologist, will share his insider’s view of the sea change in medical research, triggered by our improved understanding of the immune system. He will reduce the inherent complexity of the immune system to a layman’s understanding of how scientists are now positioned to understand, control, and one day eliminate most diseases that threaten us and our families.

The presentation will also discuss how immunotherapy of cancer is transforming the way cancer and many other diseases are treated. Please join Village Viewpoints in the Fellowship Center at the Village Church. Wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served at 6 p.m., with the program beginning at 6:30 p.m. As seating is limited, advance ticket purchase is recommended. Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets may be purchased online, at www.villageviewpoints.com. To reserve your seats and pay by check at the door, please call 858-756-6557. Tickets purchased at the door the night of the event will be $30. Village Viewpoints is co-presented by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and the Village Church.

Wilson is the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, one of the top five research institutes in the world solely focused on the immune system. Wilson is the co-Principal Investigator and Project Director of the NIH’s Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource, and Executive Director of the Institute’s Functional Genomics Center. Prior to his current position, Wilson was a research fellow of both the National Institutes of Health and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society where he published research on the immunologic basis of autoimmune disease. He holds a B.S.A. in Microbiology and a Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Arizona’s School of Medicine. For tickets, visit villageviewpoints.com.

t was fascinating to listen to oral arguments Jan. 11 in the Supreme Court’s Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association case and to hear the justices vigorously question attorneys. The lawsuit was brought by 10 California teachers (lead plaintiff is Orange County teacher Rebecca Friedrichs) who are challenging the CTA by claiming it’s their First Amendment right not to have their dues money applied to advance political issues with which they disagree. A Supreme Court decision in favor of Friedrichs could seriously diminish the union’s political power and impact its historically secure cash flow. EdSource, a nonprofit education-focused organization, explained that a favorable ruling for Friedrichs would overturn the Abood v. Detroit Board of Education decision made 40 years ago, which required employees represented by a public employee union to pay “fair share” dues. The rationale for Abood – and the argument the CTA is making in this case – is that the dues structure is needed because the union represents all employees (union members and nonmembers alike) in its negotiations for wages and benefits. CTA attorneys argued that if dues were voluntary, then those choosing not to pay would become “free riders” who gain from the advantages of collective bargaining for higher pay and increased benefits without paying into the system. Teachers currently have the choice to opt out of that portion of dues specifically earmarked for advancing political candidates

and causes. But it’s not just the money allocated for political action that the plaintiffs find objectionable. They claim that even the union’s negotiations for increased wages and benefits are political in nature, so even fair-share fees required of union nonmembers are therefore unconstitutional. “Whether the union is negotiating for specific class sizes or pressing a local government to spend tax dollars on teacher pensions rather than on building parks, the union’s negotiating positions embody political choices that are often controversial,” argued Friedrichs attorneys. Representing Friedrichs is the conservative Center for Individual Rights law firm, which on its website says agency shop laws require public employees to pay union dues as a condition of employment, and that violates the Constitution’s First Amendment principles of freedom of speech and association. Teachers pay about $1,000 per year in union dues. California law, CIR explains, “allows teachers to opt out of the thirty percent or so of their dues devoted to overt political lobbying,” but “they may not opt out of the sixty to seventy percent of their dues the union determines is devoted to collective bargaining.” Even opting out, CIR states, is an undue burden. “To opt out of the thirty percent of their dues that even the union concedes is used for overtly political activities, teachers must file for a refund each year according to a precise procedure that effectively discourages its use,”

the website claims. Plaintiffs’ attorneys obviously hope for the Supreme Court’s acceptance of their arguments. But if not, they say they would request that the opt-out practice be changed to an opt-in system. This would mean that instead of requiring teachers to apply for a refund each year, the union would need teacher authorization “to support union political activities before withholding dues for that purpose.”

District contract language

For context, in the recently adopted San Dieguito Union High School District’s union contract, Article 15:01 outlines the requirements of teachers to pay union dues each year. It’s handled through monthly payroll deductions or a one-time pay in full. Payroll deductions mean district involvement, cooperation, time and resources are embedded in the contract. Religious objections are allowed, but the amount of money owed for union dues still must be relinquished, as stated in the SDUHSD contract: “Any unit member who is a member of a religious body whose traditional tenets or teachings include objections to joining or financially supporting employee organizations shall not be required to join or financially support the San Dieguito Faculty Association/CTA/NEA, as a condition of employment.” But they still have to pay.

GUEST COLUMN

Coyotes and your pets M

BY JAN RASMUSEN id-morning recently, two coyotes followed me and my two small dogs down our hillside street. My dogs alerted me and we were able to get away. We were lucky.UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine reports that attacks on people and pets “are becoming more frequent, particularly in suburban areas of Southern California.” They say, “a number of attacks have resulted in serious injuries.”

Underestimating coyote aggression can prove fatal to your dog or cat. Coyotes stalk their prey furtively — and then pounce. They can scale a 6-foot fence with a squirming cat in their jaws. Sadly, four local dogs were attacked, and one killed, near noon in their own yard. More grainy droppings on morning sidewalks betray more coyote action at night. When pets start disappearing, coyotes are getting bolder. When coyotes start snatching

dogs off leashes, expect aggression to further escalate. California’s drought has coyotes boldly scavenging for food and water in communities not actively discouraging them. The more welcoming our behavior, the more their fear of us diminishes. Discouraging Coyote Aggression Experts advise that aggressive coyote behavior can likely be modified if corrective action is taken before coyote attacks on pets become common. How? By removing attractants and with hazing (harassment). Attractants include easily-accessed pet SEE COYOTES, A22

OUR READERS WRITE Oppose Covenant Club for many reasons

you talking about the Design Subcommittee vote after members were told it absolutely had to be on the golf/tennis club campus no matter what? Or are you talking about the vote on the feasibility study of the Covenant Club? My grandson is smart enough to know that voting to study something isn't the same as voting for it. More to the point, however, you should know that forcing the golf and tennis club members to accept a major change to their clubs, when they overwhelmingly rejected the idea in surveys, is different than any of the past decisions you mentioned in your letter. Above all, I'm surprised you would reply the way you did, saying things like, "Papa Bear must be confused," and "Read this to Papa Bear between his naps." Really? You decided to go there? I know how important it is to you and your friends that the Covenant Club be built no matter what, but I think you cross a line when you make fun of my age, and assume I had something to do with past Association board decisions just because I was around when they were made. I think you will agree that my opinions on the Covenant Club are fair game but personal attacks have no place in this campaign, now or in the future. Respectfully, Bill Johnson

administrative salaries. Unlike their counterparts in private industry, public sector unions have no incentive to make reasonable demands. This is because taxpayers, in effect, have bottomless pockets, and there is a vanishingly small risk that excessive wage increases and unsustainable pension benefits will lead to governmental default. The result is an array of public sector Ponzi schemes so massive and so entrenched that they have become virtually impervious to corrective action. One of these days, the bills are going to come due. And when they do, guess who’s going to have to pay them. That’s right: our children. John Sack, Del Mar

FROM DELANEY, A1 Rancho Santa Fe School District. This is a very special place," Delaney said in a release. "Working in partnership with a long line of dedicated and incredible staff, all focused on a mission of delivering academic excellence, character development, and athletic accomplishment, has been beyond rewarding. And to be fortunate enough to do it in a community of passionately engaged parents, so many of whom are willing to invest countless hours and resources in our students, is gratifying." First hired as a teacher in 1986 by Dr. Rowe, Delaney has spent 30 years with the district as a teacher, coach and administrator. Under her leadership as its chief executive, education, and financial officer, the district has continued its long-standing tradition of providing students with the best possible academic programs, while always remaining in a strong fiscal position. Test scores continually ranked amongst the highest in the state and key programs such as robotics, art, music, drama, technology, and athletics have all been developed and expanded. Delaney oversaw the complete financing, development, construction, and modernization of the new R. Roger Rowe School campus. The entire project was done during one of the most intensely challenging fiscal environments and was completed on time and on budget. Delaney has also worked hard to

support the ongoing efforts of the RSF Education Foundation, one of the most successful of its kind in the country. "It is impossible to adequately express just how much Lindy has meant to our school district and to the Rancho Santa Fe community at large," Seltzer said in a release. "She has been a tremendous leader; committed, unwavering, and passionate in her work on behalf of our students. No matter the issue, no matter the challenge, she has always been there, available, and always with an open door. For 30 years, this school has been a huge part of her life. And it shows, year after year, in our accomplished staff, our beautiful facilities, our incredible parent volunteers, and, above all else, in our amazing students. That is her legacy, and she will be deeply missed." For the remainder of the 2015-2016 school year, Delaney said she expects it to be business as usual on campus, and remains as committed as always to providing an excellent education for students. "We have much work to do over the next six months and I look forward to the many important projects still to be accomplished prior to the end of the year," Delaney said. "I am excited about all the fantastic work by our students. And I am even more excited about the bright future of R. Roger Rowe School and the RSF School District." The board will immediately begin its search for Delaney’s successor.

"On behalf of the entire school board, I would like to emphasize that we are keenly aware of the vitally important place that R. Roger Rowe School holds in the past, present, and future of our community," said Seltzer. "For that very reason, we understand just how crucial it is to find the right leader as our new superintendent. Over the coming months, we will work tirelessly to find someone worthy of that position, our school, and our community." At the Jan. 21 meeting, Seltzer said it might take a few months for the board to come up with the right words to truly express its feelings about Delaney’s departure and the board agreed to hold off on the "glowing, flowery stuff" until June or July. The board did submit comments through a release: Vice President Todd Frank "Where to begin? Lindy's competence, dedication and high ethical standards are without question. What is amazing, however, is how personal she was in her dedication to students, families and teachers. This was not an administrator that lived in an ivory tower or hid in an office. Ask anyone who has been through this school over these many, many years. Every one of them knows Lindy and feels that Lindy knows them personally, as well. She has positively changed so many lives over the years, her impact is without measure or equivalent. We will miss her deeply, but her standards of excellence and dedication will live on in all the lives

she has changed for the better." Clerk Marti Ritto "It has been an honor and a privilege to work alongside Superintendent Lindy Delaney these past six years, and I know she will be missed terribly. However, in true Lindy fashion she has already indicated her commitment to helping our school community through this transition. I know that with her help we will find the right candidate who will continue to build upon the remarkable academic achievement and prudent fiscal management that has been a hallmark of Superintendent Delaney’s tenure." Board Member Todd Buchner "Lindy has devoted her life to our students, teachers, administrators, and community. You would be hard pressed to find another school superintendent who knows each and every student like she does. I have watched her juggle the demands of making high level decisions in the face of conflicting constituencies while still being involved in day-to-day school activities like standing in carpool line saying good morning to the kids. Lindy is an extraordinary leader, and it has been such an honor and privilege to work with her. She leaves behind an incredible legacy of selflessness, compassion, and engagement." Board Member Richard Burdge "Lindy has been a big pleasure to work with over the last 12 years. She has done the district enormous benefit and I personally wish her well."

Why do Jews say Mazel Tov and L’Chaim? ‘The Jewish Course of Why’ begins Feb. 8 The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present The Jewish Course of Why, the institute’s new six-session winter 2016 course that will begin during the week of Feb. 8. 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. “In preparing for the course, we turned to over 30,000 people who each

submitted their biggest questions about Judaism. We then selected the most popular among them and addressed each one with resonant insights from the greatest minds in Jewish history.” 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? In addition to the above, the course offers insight into mysterious Jewish practices, strange biblical narratives, and enigmas of Jewish identity. Like all previous JLI programs, The Jewish Course of Why is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571 or visit www.jewishRSF.com for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in RSF in conjunction with Chabad Jewish Center of RSF.

FROM SUTTON, A18 employment.” It further states that members who object must pay a sum equal to the association fees to one of the following charitable funds: the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning, United Way or the American Cancer Society. For teachers who choose a charitable fund, the union requires them to notify the district every year. If they fail to do so, the money is automatically redirected to the union. As stated in the SBSD contract, “Proof of payment and a written statement of objection shall be made on an annual basis to the District as a condition of continued exemption…” The proof of payment “shall be in the form of receipts and/or canceled checks indicating the amount paid, date of payment, and to whom payment in lieu of the service fee has been made,” the contract reads.

Life Tributes

Many contracts also state that the school district is responsible for deducting the appropriate amount from paychecks and notifying the union of who’s paid, who hasn’t, and any changes in membership status. Further, the time and effort involved in handling this facet of union business is paid by the taxpayers. As it states in the SBSD contract, “There shall be no charge to the Association for such deductions.” SDUHSD and SBSD contract language is not unique.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Frances L. ‘Fran’ Jorgensen February 16, 1936 - December 8, 2015

Rancho Santa Fe — Fran Jorgensen, 79, died tuesday, December 8, 2015, at her home in Rancho Santa Fe, california. Fran was born February 16, 1936, to the late Joseph and anna (Leja) Swiderski in Mosinee, Wisconsin.

Fran loved to golf, she played tournaments, she would even play alone. She was very proud of her seven holes in one. She looked forward to, and enjoyed her yearly trips to Las Vegas, nevada. When Fran’s mother (anna) was widowed, she made her home with Fran and Frank. She was treated like royalty in every way. Fran was a devout catholic, attending daily mass when possible. a rosary was

support a union that promotes and funds political issues and agendas some vehemently oppose is a compelling anti-CTA argument. EdSource sums it up: “A victory by the teachers who filed the suit could significantly sap the financial strength and undermine the bargaining and political clout of the CTA and other public-employee unions by making all union dues voluntary.” Chief Justice John Roberts said, according to an Associated Press report, “Even routine matters can become politically charged if they involve how the state spends money.” In an article written by lead plaintiff Rebecca Friedrichs in the Orange County Register last year, she said, “For years, many brave teachers have attempted to make our voices heard within our union leadership, but unfortunately the union we’re compelled to hire as our ‘representatives’ doesn’t value our personal

liberties.” She said teachers are required, “as a condition of employment, to financially support teachers unions and their political agendas.” “Ten teachers in California have had enough,” Friedrichs wrote. “We’re suing the California Teachers Association and its affiliate, the National Education Association, to obtain freedom from compelled support for unionism.” “This practice,” she wrote, “is unconscionable, especially considering that unions are tax-free ‘corporations’ who long ago abandoned the individual rights and desires of their members.” The worst part? “Ironically,” Friedrichs said, “the union is using our involuntary dues monies to fund the court battle against us.” A Supreme Court decision is expected by June.

FROM CHARTON, A6 lives of millions around the world.” A native of Nebraska, Charton spent most of her early life in Orange County. She graduated from UC Irvine with a B.A. in dance and performed and taught for five years before obtaining her J.D at the University of San Diego School of Law. Charton’s involvement with those in need came in her first job out of law school. She was hired by the Orange County Counsel’s office to work in juvenile dependency court with children who had been removed from their homes. Charton next worked for two years at a private law firm, but returned to public service at an Orange County public interest law center where she assisted the indigent, including helping terminally ill AIDS patients with draft wills, guardianship agreements and other end-of-life legal issues. Charton has also served on the boards, worked as a volunteer, and donated or raised money for a number of non-profit and community service organizations in both Orange County and San Diego County. They include the Upper Newport Bay Conservancy, H.O.M.E.S. (Helping Our Mentally Ill Experience Success), CSU Long Beach Department of Social Work Advisory Board; Orange County Indigent Health Care Task Force, United Way Health Care Task Force. Since moving to Rancho Santa Fe in 2007 with

her husband Steve, Charton has become deeply involved with TERI, a San Marcos non-profit organization dedicated to serving individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities and their families, and the San Pasqual Academy, the first residential education campus for foster youth in the nation. Charton is co-owner with her husband in Chartwell Management Corp., which owns and manages commercial real estate and investments in a variety of branded food manufacturing and restaurant companies. “I’m excited about my involvement with the La Jolla Institute because it provides me with an opportunity to help people in a completely new and fascinating way,” Charton said. “One of my goals as a board member is to significantly expand awareness of the amazing things the Institute is involved in scientifically. The La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology is dedicated to understanding the intricacies and power of the immune system so that we may apply that knowledge to promote human health and prevent a wide range of diseases. Since its founding in 1988 as an independent, nonprofit research organization, the Institute has made numerous advances leading toward its goal: life without disease.

FROM COYOTES, A18 food, garbage, fruit and nut trees, compost, birdseed, fresh water – and small pets. Feeding wild animals, even unintentionally, puts your whole community at risk. Hazing, if instigated soon enough, is the best way to safely co-exist with coyotes. Oddly, hazing even benefits them. Otherwise, coyotes may become so aggressive that they will have to be trapped and relocated (which usually proves fatal) or shot. The Humane Society, The Fund for Wildlife and San Diego County officials all advise moving toward bold coyotes, yelling and waving arms, throwing objects, shaking pennies in a can and/or squirting with a powerful water pistol all while looking directly in the animal’s eyes. A walking stick or golf club can be useful. Don't run away; you’ll look like prey. If the coyote retreats then stops or advances, experts advise continued hazing. If the coyote refuses to leave, call for help and alert animal control. Coyotes are naturally timid; we just have to remind them that humans are neither their protectors nor meal tickets. Note: If coyotes appear sick or injured or are accompanied by pups, do not haze. Call Animal Control.

Safety Precautions • Check fences for gaps and holes dug underneath. A “coyote roller” can be attached to fence tops. Your fence isn’t tall enough. • Allow toddlers and pets no unsupervised outdoor time. • Secure large doggy doors. • Look fore and aft when walking dogs, especially on streets bordering canyons and bushy areas. • Keep leashes attached — and short. • Walk in pairs whenever possible and at varying times of day. • Protect large dogs, especially when they’re old or ill. • Be especially vigilant from March to April, pup-rearing season. • Report coyote aggression to Animal Control and your state’s Department of Fish & Game. Warn neighbors. Note: Coyotes can carry canine diseases. Fortunately, the last case of coyote rabies in California was reported in 2010. If you or your dog gets bitten, immediately seek medical help. Jan Rasmusen, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, is the national award-winning author of Scared Poopless: The Straight Scoop on Dog Care and.

‘The Metromaniacs’ farce brings laughs to Old Globe BY DIANA SAENGER It’s hard to imagine that someone would want to resurrect playwright Alexis Piron’s 17th century farce, “La Métromanie,” but director Michael Kahn did and he commissioned playwright David Ives (“The Liar,” “Don Juan in Chicago”) to adapt the play, or what he calls a “translaptation” of the work. “This is the third play I’ve commissioned David to do,” Kahn said. “The first two were also French comedies from the 17th-century. I wanted to work with him again because he has a brilliant comedic sense, is a thoughtful translator/adapter, and a wonderful wordsmith.” Kahn said he’d not heard of Piron before, and discovered he was quite successful during his time. When he began looking at the play, he realized it came only in French. “Luckily, David is totally fluent in French,” Kahn said. “And he thought it was a wonderful play and wanted to adapt it. His version takes place in the

SCOTT SUCHMAN

Dina Thomas as Lisette and Adam LeFevre as Francalou in the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s production of ‘The Metromaniacs,’ a West Coast premiere at The Old Globe 18th-century, so it’s a little more modern. It’s a treasure in itself, and I hope other theaters will do it. It’s a fantastic play for actors.” “The Metromaniacs,” takes place in Paris, where in the 18th-century, poets of the day were like rock stars. It’s about an older man whose daughter

is a dreamer and interested in writing. Indolent, she’s not involved in anything other than obsessing about the poems she likes. Her father writes a play to be performed at their home, hoping the girl in the play will bring back life to his daughter. “There’s also a young poet

who comes to the house under an assumed name,” Kahn said. “So everyone in the play at one point is involved, in one way or another, either loving poetry, writing poetry or not interested in poetry at all — just in love. As in a farce, there’s a mixup of identities.

The actors take on other characters, which might be confusing, but it’s our job to make it clear.” The cast, save one, is from the original production of “The Metromaniacs,” in association with Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. “The visual aspects to a play like this are important,” Kahn said. “So the costumes are wonderful and the set is ingenious. The play was originally written to be performed in a real outdoor garden, but David got the brilliant idea to make an inside garden in a ballroom of this man’s house. It adds even more theatrically, as there are trees and people moving about; a little like in ‘Midsummer’s Night Dream.’ ” Farces are appearing more and more on stages across the country and Kahn believes it’s because people want and need to laugh. “Audiences enjoy really fast, wonderful, extreme situations,” Kahn said. “Everyone in a farce has to

play things very serious, like their life depends upon it. They have to do things they would never dream of doing if they were behaving rationally. It’s very liberating sometimes to be outrageous and stupid, but in this case, also to have great wonderful language to speak, which has been written so well by David. His brilliant rhyming couplets become a language of its own and fun for the audience to listen.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Metromaniacs” runs Jan. 30-March 6 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park, San Diego.

A detail view of "Stars Align," which is the second of a four-part sequence inspired by the TV show "The Bachelor" and other elements of popular culture.

BY MICHAEL JAMES ROCHA In a paradisiacal world, Sophia Narrett would play with dolls all day. "I had this doll house that my dad and brother made me," Narrett recalls of the wooden structure in her hometown of Ellicott City, Md. "I made tons of things to go in it … and I was always acting out narratives between the dolls." She was 8 years old. "I played with Barbie dolls until I was in eighth grade," she says. "I did not want to stop playing with dolls." She’s 28 now and an artist known for embroidered images — intricate and detailed depictions of life and landscapes both realistic and fantastical, often sexual. "I think that is what is still going on here. I want to engage critically with pop culture and social issues … and I feel a deep responsibility for the type of images I’m putting out into the world, but at the same time, when I am truly just starting a piece, I feel like it’s more connected to doll play." Narrett — who’s currently in residence at Lux Art Institute in Encinitas — is a young artist whose work is informed by pop culture references: "Orange Is the New Black." Hip-hop artist Kendrick

LJS&C to present symphonic exploration of space, land and sea FROM LJS&C REPORTS The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) will perform the third concert of its 61st season “Soundscape San Diego: Exploration and Remembrance,” 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7 in Mandeville Auditorium on the UC San Diego campus. Music director Steven Schick will conduct the orchestra and guest pianist Lisa Moore in a transcendental program featuring György Ligeti’s “Atmosphères,” Philip Glass’ “Piano Concerto No. 2,” the premiere of Erik Griswold’s “Jeux à la fin du monde,” and Debussy’s “La Mer.” Film director Stanley Kubrick used Ligeti’s revolutionary “Atmosphères” (composed in 1961) in the film 2001 “A Space Odyssey.” This work of dense sound textures destroys any notion of the traditional language of music — there are no themes, no harmony and virtually no rhythm. There are, instead, huge blocks of sound evolving slowly over time. Kubrick used excerpts from two other Ligeti works — “Lux Aeterna” and “Requiem” — in the movie and did all of this without asking Ligeti’s permission. The effect was that a struggling avant-garde composer suddenly found himself world-famous. Glass’ second piano concerto (2004) celebrates Lewis and Clark’s pioneering 1803-1806 expedition from the Missouri River to the Pacific. It was commissioned for one of many bicentennial observations held early in the 21st Century along the expedition’s route. Each of its three movements has a name that reflects an

The composer will be in attendance for this world premiere. Debussy’s magnificent “La Mer” (composed from 1903 to 1905) was inspired by his feelings about the sea.

This approach was misunderstood by some early critics who anticipated a more literal sound experience, but soon “La Mer” became one of the composer’s most admired orchestral works. The understated Debussy concludes “La Mer” with a roar of savage power as the music hurtles to its tremendous climax. ■ IF YOU GO: A pre-concert lecture by Schick will be given one hour prior to concert times.

Jewish Film Fest promises surprises and discoveries BY DAVID L. CODDON “Plastic Man” is not the latest Marvel Comics film adaptation coming to a theater near you. But it is a movie, formally titled “Plastic Man: The Artful Life of Jerry Ross Barrish,” and it’s among the 60 films that will be screened between Feb. 4-14 at the 26th annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival. If you’ve never heard of Jerry Ross Barrish before, you may never forget him after seeing this lively, personality-driven documentary directed by William Farley. You might call the 75-year-old Barrish a man for all seasons. He’s been a soldier, a bail bondsman, an indie filmmaker and now a sculptor whose medium of choice is plastic, the kind you find washed up on the beach or discarded in trash bins. If Barrish isn’t the only artist in the world working with plastic, he’s certainly the only one with a film made

about him. Barrish, the son of a prizefighter who was also a crony of mobsters, was drawn to sculpture after a lengthy but ultimately disillusioning career as a filmmaker. The plastic figures he creates are assembled with screws and glue. “I grew up without any tools. I never made models. I never used my hands as a kid, so everything about my art in terms of tools is self-taught,” Barrish said by phone from his Pacifica, California home. Few can or should do what he does, he says, because it’s both “dangerous” and strictly “intuitive.” Barrish’s artworks of plastic and how they are conceived are what initially attracted filmmaker Farley. “I was intrigued with what he was able to do with such economy and with material that no one wanted to deal with,” he said.

Seniors Helping Seniors provides care, companionship BY KAREN BILLING Seniors Helping Seniors seeks to make a difference by offering compassionate, mature non-medical home caregivers that allow seniors to remain living in their own homes as long as possible and enjoy a better quality of life. The local chapter has been serving San Diego and Orange County since November 2013. Seniors Helping Seniors is a family business owned by sisters Sue Erskine and Doris Dorey, and Erskine’s daughter Tricia Izadi. The inspiration to start Seniors Helping Seniors came from the family’s own experience with the sisters’ father, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in his mid-70s. “When we really needed help, we were fortunate to find two caregivers who were seniors,” Erskine said. “The other caregivers were younger and he never would’ve accepted them.” The senior caregivers were able to enrich their father’s life by allowing him to continue activities he enjoyed, such as golf and walking. “They really became like friends for him and that was a concept that made a lot of sense to us,” Erskine said.

in Pennsylvania in 1988 by Kiran and Philip Yocum. Since 1988, the organization has grown to include over 200 independently owned locations around the country and in the United Kingdom. When Erskine initially started, their area included central San Diego and they went onto acquire the Orange County territory in February 2014. In August of 2015, they acquired the North Coastal San Diego area and communities along the SR-78 corridor. Dorey runs the business out company out of their New Jersey location, but shares a lot of infrastructure with the San Diego/Orange County location. “It’s amazing how many seniors in their 80s and 90s are still living alone,” Erskine said. Their home care aids can provide services such as assistance with bathing and dressing, meal preparation, assistance with toileting and continence, light housekeeping, assistance with medication, transportation for errands, assistance with communication activities and a cognitive supervisor for patients with dementia. The most important service they provide, however, is the companionship, Erskine said. “A lot of them don’t have anyone to talk to,” SEE SENIORS, B22

Sai Maa

COURTESY PHOTO

‘Spiritual master’ to visit Del Mar on Valentine’s Day weekend Sai Maa to share teachings during a three-day event BY KRISTINA HOUCK A self-proclaimed spiritual healer and humanitarian is visiting Del Mar over Valentine’s Day weekend. In an effort to empower people to discover and cultivate love and wisdom, Sai Maa will share teachings during a three-day event at Hilton Del Mar. “A global transformation and global transfiguration is happening right now,” Maa said. “I can’t wait to share with them that there’s a revolution happening.” Born in Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, Maa said she demonstrated esoteric healing powers at an early age. At the age of 21, Maa moved to France, where she later married a research scientist and became the mother of two children. She created a therapy practice and became certified in naturopathic, homeopathic and osteopathic therapies. Maa also became active in politics and ser ved on the Bordeaux City Council, helping to reform health care in the European Union on behalf of the French government. During this time, she met and became a disciple of spiritual leader and teacher Sathya Sai Baba. Also a supporter of his humanitarian work, she, too, decided to dedicate

her life to humanity. Since then, she has taught thousands of people on spiritual, social and psychological topics through workshops, writings and other programs. Additionally, she founded the Sai Maa Vishnu Shakti Trust, an Indian charity that provides food, clothing, clean water and medical care to children and families and support to widows and orphans. “I’m dedicated to humanity,” Maa said. “I’m dedicated to this new era.” Starting Feb. 12, Maa will bring her teachings to Del Mar for “Wisdom and Enlightenment: A Valentine’s Weekend with Sai Maa.” Culminating on Valentine’s Day, the three-day event will feature various talks about life’s challenges and relationships. Maa said she hopes people leave the event enlightened with a sense of freedom and peace of mind. “I want them to hear that there is nothing wrong with them,” she said. “They are accepted. They are loved.” “Wisdom and Enlightenment: A Valentine’s Weekend with Sai Maa” will take place Feb. 12-14 at Hilton Del Mar, located at 15575 Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The full three-day event, including a meal on Saturday afternoon, costs $425 for general admission and $299 for students. For more information or to register, visit www.sai-maa.com/sandiego2016.

15-Inch Cup Challenge benefits combat-injured troops

he 15-Inch Cup Challenge — presented by Operation Game On — took place Jan. 25 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. The driving range was the backdrop for this second annual event – which featured four distances ranging from 50 to 125 yards; with a 15-inch cup instead of the typical 4.5-inches. Every hole-in-one paid cash prizes. Funds raised at the event will benefit Operation Game On, “which gives returning combat-injured troops suffering from physical and mental disabilities a very special custom intro-to-golf package. More and more troops are returning home with life altering combat injuries.” Operation Game On “is honoring their sacrifice by introducing them to golf. Why golf? Doctors say golf provides both mental and physical rehabilitation that rapidly allows them to regain confidence to enjoy an active lifestyle again.”For more information, visit operationgameon.org.

The Village Church sings for unity REVIEW BY CYNTHIA SOLTERO Juan Acosta, esteemed director of Rancho Santa Fe's Village Church Chancel Choir, is passionate about sharing the gift of music with the community at large. Senior Pastor Jack Baca and Associate Pastor and Mission Director Jan Farley enthusiastically support Juan's vision for the choir. Vince Fung, bass section leader and bass soloist of the choir, also works as the communication coordinator at San Diego's Good Samaritan Episcopal Church along with Julie Marner, their parish Music Coordinator. Years ago Marner had a vision to bring many different denominational choirs together to exchange and celebrate their musical gifts with each other which in turn would promote a loving common bond. Fung asked Acosta if the Village Choir would be interested in sharing two songs at the "Christian Unity Concert" held Jan. 19 in San Diego. Juan was elated and chose two perfect songs that would capture the spirit of

the event celebrating the Martin Luther King weekend, as well as showcase the talented men and women who faithfully donate their time to God. Exquisitely beautiful music can feed the soul and bring people closer to God. Tuesday night, Jan. 19, was no exception. It was the kind of music that inspired and filled hearts with joy. Juan selections included "Precious Lord" arranged by Roy Ringwald, Martin Luther King's favorite hymn, and "The Road Home." The choir performed both songs acapella with Katie Walders as soloist. The uplifting, inspiring words to both songs were sung beautifully with warmth and clarity and communicated a message of the Lord's provision and faithful care. There were five different choirs, each presenting two songs — The Good Samaritan Episcopal Church Council Choir, the La Jolla United Methodist Church Chancel Choir, the Newman Center Catholic Community at UCSD Choir, the Village Church Chancel Choir and

All choirs.

Vince Fung, Julie Marner and Juan Acosta the UCSD Gospel Choir. The evening closed with a group hymn very appropriately titled, 'How Can I Keep from Singing." It was a night to be cherished and remembered — different doctrines were set aside and all that remained was the love for music and each other.

Andie Van Hoosear joins Rancho Santa Fe-Fairbanks Ranch office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties

Andrea Van Hoosear After working in the fitness industry for several years, REALTOR-Sales Associate Andie Van Hoosear is flexing her talents in an entirely new way. A self-motivated and driven professional, Van Hoosear is ready to test her strengths in real estate, setting her eyes on becoming a Luxury Homes Specialist in the Rancho Santa Fe-Fairbanks Ranch office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.

"Working as a personal trainer has been a perfect transition into real estate," Van Hoosear said. "You must be able to communicate well with different types of people, build and maintain a loyal client base, sell your knowledge and, most importantly, make your clients feel comfortable and trust you." To build a lasting career with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, Van Hoosear is working toward earning her Luxury Homes Specialist designation. Her past success as a personal trainer has shown her that she can excel in a primarily self-driven career. "We are very excited to add such a high-energy professional to our team," Branch Manager Liz Piccolomini said. "Work with Andie and you will not only have a smooth home-buying or -selling experience, but you will also have the opportunity to create a

lasting relationship." Van Hoosear received a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice from San Diego State University, and also attended college at La Universidad Catolica in Montevideo, Uruguay. When she isn’t exercising her real estate knowledge, she is performing Crossfit, a strength and conditioning program, and furthering her passion for Olympic weightlifting. She also enjoys hiking, swimming, and any other activity that involves movement.

Eileen M. Anderson and team rejoin Willis Allen Real Estate Realtor Eileen M. Anderson and her team, comprised of sons and fellow Realtors Michael and Neil, have rejoined Willis Allen Real Estate’s Rancho Santa Fe office. The trio markets itself as “The Anderson Estates” and left Willis Allen for only a year before returning to the luxury, family-owned brokerage. “Willis Allen offers our clients the luxury representation that they deserve, and it feels like family,” says Eileen. “Because of Willis Allen’s smaller size, it has a more substantial connection with its agents and clients. It’s an intimate feeling – you’re not just another Realtor or listing.” Eileen adds that she is most excited about the marketing know-how that Willis Allen has behind its brand. “Willis Allen has a luxury marketing department that is second to none!” Eileen praises. “I am super excited to be back in the Willis Allen family with Gary at the helm of the Rancho Santa Fe Office.” The “Gary” she refers to is Willis Allen’s Rancho Santa Fe Branch Manager, Gary Wheeler. Wheeler says he is equally pleased to have the Andersons back on the Willis Allen team. “It’s clear that Eileen really loves what she does!” says Wheeler who admires Anderson for her professionalism in particular. He adds, “The Anderson Estates are a multi generational group that can

serve and connect with all ages. They really care about their clients, and it shows.” Michael Anderson said he benefitted from having both parents heavily entrenched in the real estate industry his whole life. “I grew up in the real estate business and have been in San Diego County for over 20 years,” says Michael. He completed a Master’s Degree in Real Estate from the University of San Diego. “My upper education, coupled with my knowledge and experience in the area truly sets me apart from other Realtors my age,” Michael adds.

pet of the week Willa, a 4-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix, is looking for a new best friend. She came into our care from another shelter in Sept. 2015, and has been making her caregivers laugh every single day since. She’s sweet, goofy and extremely friendly with other dogs - she LOVES to play and run zoomies in the play yard. Willa is an active dog who would love to go on long walks, hikes or run around the dog park. We think she’ll do best with a playmate in her new home, or at least plenty of time to socialize with other dogs. Willa walks great on a leash, listens well to her handlers, and appears house-trained. Don’t miss the opportunity to take home this awesome little lady! Willa is available for adoptions at San Diego Humane Society’s San Diego Campus, 5500 Gaines Street, San Diego. To learn more about Willa, please call (619) 299-7012 or visit sdhumane.org.

'Hearts for Hope' 5K Run/Walk to be held Feb. 6 in Carlsbad The Mitchell Thorp Foundation (“MTF”) recently announced that its annual “Hearts for Hope” 5K Run/Walk will take place on Feb. 6 at Poinsettia Park in Carlsbad. The 5K race course will bring runners outside the park, while the chip-timing offers runners a precise measurement of their time. “We had a great response on the new course we developed from the runners,” noted MTF CEO/Co-Founder, Brad Thorp. “So we are glad to bring it back. Our runners really enjoyed the challenge.” The walk course remains the main component of the event, which supports families and children in their greatest time of need. “Our walkers and their families will enjoy the loop through Poinsettia Park at their own pace,” added MTF Co-Founder Beth Thorp. “Whether you are running or walking, you will

have a wonderful experience while supporting a great cause.” With food, music, health/wellness vendors, and entertainment producing the usual fun atmosphere during and after the race, MTF also made changes to enhance the overall family experience. New features, such as the Kid Ventures Timed Obstacle Course, presented by The San Diego Gulls, will make the event even more fun for kids. This new activity includes great prizes from the San Diego Gulls, including tickets and special fan experiences. In addition, three former U.S. Navy Leap Frogs, and current members of a parachute demonstration team, will jump into Thorp Field to highlight the opening ceremonies of the 5K Run/Walk. The event is once again made possible by the support of sponsors, including Independent Financial Group, Caruso Affiliated, NRG, Datron and Avista Technologies.

Building 101: The Work Begins Building a home is an endeavor that involves many people, phases and decisions. No matter what size your project is, once your team is in place and the planning phase has been completed, the work begins. The work phase begins with an onsite pre-construction meeting to take one last look at the site and to coordinate the project. Here all team members and subcontractors meet to review the timeline and answer any outstanding questions or concerns. This on-site pre-construction

meeting is also a great time to take photographs of the area that is being worked on and to organize your document files. Whether you are a paper person or a techie, a good catalog of images and a well organized filing system will serve you well throughout the project. At GDC Construction, we track the work phase with project management software and communicate with our clients with weekly agendas, schedule of values, and a calendar, which tracks all activity and financial distributions. This method is used to sync all team members and provide a real-time analysis throughout the project. Typically, the next step of the work phase is Demolition. This dismantling is also the discovery phase, as it exposes unforeseen primary conditions. Opening walls, floors or tearing down large portions of the structure tends to expose conditions not otherwise visible, which can impact your budget and add unexpected costs.

Before the project continues as planned, issues such as structural damage from water exposure, dry rot, or mold are addressed during this stage. At GDC Construction, our experienced estimators account for these unforeseen conditions in our initial cost assessments to minimize changes in the scope of work and to maintain the integrity of the budget. This is key but not foolproof. No matter what the scope of the project, once all has been exposed and cleaned up, the next step is to lay or reinforce the foundation. Whether you are building a new home or remodeling an existing structure, a concrete foundation and support footings are often part of the process to establish a solid ground for your home. In La Jolla and other areas of San Diego, there are many properties that need deep footings called caissons. Often drilled 20-30 ft deep to anchor to solid ground, these concrete pylons are designed to support homes built on unsure ground

and steep slopes. Once the foundation is complete, the framing stage begins. This is an exciting phase because this is when you can see your house begin to take shape. Here a wood or steel skeletal framework is built to deﬁne the structure and support the electrical components, plumbing, HVAC, AV, insulation and utilities. Clearly it is imperative that the inner workings, or guts, of the structure be installed correctly. In San Diego, building plans are permitted by the city and an inspector is required to come out and approve each phase of the work, as deﬁned on the plans and pre-approved by the city. Once each category of building has been cleared by the city, the next phase of the build can commence. Column continued at http://www.lajollalight.com/ news/2015/nov/30/Building-101-TheWork-Begins/

PAGE B22 - JANUARY 28, 2016 - RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW

FROM NARRETT, B3 are reminiscent of 16th-century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, known for his detailed landscapes and wild images, most fantastical and sexual in nature. Like Bosch, Narrett engages the viewer in images so complex, so detailed that looking at them and following the narrative, especially the sequential ones, almost feels voyeuristic. "I’m really interested in narrative through still images, and even further, through objects. I’m interested in how these are images but also objects. This idea of doing a sequential project was something I was excited about in terms of pushing the plot and especially in terms of allowing a readable experience from piece to piece, but it was also important to me that they function on their own discretely," she says while standing in front of "Stars Align," the second of a four-part sequence that begins with "The Rose Ceremony," where "Orange Is the New Black" actress Samira Wiley is whisked away by "Orange Is the New Black" writer Lauren Morelli, who divorced her husband in real life to date Wiley. What distinguishes Narrett from Bosch’s approach to imagery is the medium. Although she began her artistic career painting in oil, just as Bosch did, Narrett fell in love with thread while working on a sculpture. "Finding embroidery was serendipitous for me," Narrett says. "I actually started because I had some sculptures and I had some embroidery thread that I was trying to make some hair out of, and it was totally random. I thought the colors of the thread were beautiful. … What if I did a little drawing with them? And then from there, it got more and more elaborate. I’m so glad I found it, or maybe it found me."

‘Something real’ On a recent Wednesday morning, Narrett walked through the artist pavilion at Lux explaining the genesis of each of the pieces hanging on the main gallery’s white walls. In a far corner sat a 20-gallon-size black trash bag. Inside: thread. Lots and lots of thread. "I just I love working with the material," says Narrett, who works with 100 percent cotton thread she buys at Michaels. "I was always a painter before … but with painting, I never was as invested in the material as I was in the image. I didn’t really enjoy painting. I enjoyed making the idea, and I enjoyed having the image and showing people the image, but I wasn’t invested in the paint itself — that was always lacking. "Painting taught me a lot about color and composition, and that plays out here," she says, her eyes panning the sunlit room. "I want them to work as paintings. In some ways, I don’t think they’re any different from paintings. But what I do really love about embroidery is the specificity of the image and also the time element. "I don’t mean to fetishize the fact that it takes a long time to create something, but there is something real about the commitment involved," says Narrett, who created the four-part "Bachelor"-inspired sequence between September 2014 and May 2015. Reesey Shaw, founder and executive director of Lux, says there was something special about Narrett’s work when she first saw it. She followed her for a while before approaching her with the idea of coming to Encinitas for a residency. "I especially felt the threads that she leaves hanging are almost like music and very emotional," says Shaw, who’s always scouting artists from all over the globe. "I felt that they

FROM SENIORS, B6 Erskine said. “A lot of times family members can’t be there all the time so this provides a respite for the family caregiver, that’s a big part of it too.” Erskine estimates that nearly 75 percent of people they serve have some form of dementia or Alzheimer’s. “They want to live in their homes. A lot of time seniors are very resistant to help and very independent,” Erskine said. “But if they would accept a little help it would maybe prolong them to be able to live at home.” The home care aids come from all kinds of backgrounds, including retired nurses, firefighters, business people and teachers. “I think what the commonality is of why they do it is either they’ve had experience with family members and still feel the need to be a caregiver and help, or they are retired and need an extra source of income,” Erskine said. “It’s a Born in 1987 in Concord, Mass., Narrett grew very interesting group of people.” Starting Jan. 1, the state of California began up the daughter of a physician father and a regulating and licensing non-medical stay-at-home mother. Her first exposure to art came courtesy of her paternal grandmother. "She was a painter," Narrett recalls, "and she FROM WRITERS, B10 loved to copy Chagall paintings.

Narrett’s embroidered art hangs about an inch off the surface, creating its own frame through shadows. And it’s that organic framing that gives the work a new dimension, Shaw says. "She’s very contemporary," she says. "Framing work is kind of an old-fashioned technique. Frames cut the emotional impact of the work by a third. With the glass and the frame, it’s almost like imprisoning it. And so what she’s doing by hanging it on the nail and making it really present … the thread becomes the paint, and it’s very visceral. She’s found and created her own muse. It’s incredible."

Home care aids now must register with the state and go through background checks, which Seniors Helping Seniors always did previously, but now it is a state mandate that Erskine thinks is a great change. “Every day I see people that remind me of my dad,” Erskine said, describing one client whom they recently connected with a home care aid that takes him golfing every week. “It’s very fulfilling work. At times it’s very sad because there’s a lot of seniors that are just in bad situations, but it’s very fulfilling to find a caregiver who can meet their needs.” Seniors Helping Seniors is always recruiting for home care aids, people who want to make a time commitment of a couple hours a week and help other seniors.
