BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board decided to put the contract for its cellular improvement project on hold as members had many questions about the potential sites. Before awarding the contract for faux tree cellular towers, the RSF Association will hold a town hall meeting.
Rancho Santa Fe is considered the number one problem cell coverage area in the county, according to Philip Wilkinson, a member of the Association technology committee tasked with solving the spotty coverage and endless dropped calls. At its Feb. 4 meeting, the board had hoped to follow the tech committee’s

recommendation to enter an agreement with American Tower Corporation, as its business model is built around providing multiple carriers on a site. “We want to get the greatest coverage and we want to limit the impact with the ability to co-locate,” said board member and technology committee member Mike Licosati. “Everyone is in agreement to make sure it has the least impact on the community.”
The proposal to improve cellular service includes the construction of faux tree structures (ranging in height from 45 to 90 feet) on two Association-owned properties and one right of way location. The locations are on Lago Lindo and Via de Fortuna, and the right-of-way location is in the roundabout of La Glorieta. RSF Association Manager Bill Overton said there was some SEE TOWERS, A24

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s governing documents committee is working to correct a 50-year-old problem regarding giving Covenant condominium owners the right to vote. After the announcement in January that this round of bylaws and articles of incorporation amendments would not include condo voting rights, RSF Association President Ann Boon said the board received numerous emails and phone calls from condo owners expressing disappointment that the Association wasn’t moving forward with condo owner voting rights at this time. “The seven of us do want condo owners to have a vote, it’s really kind of an issue of timing,” Boon said. As board member and governing documents committee chair Fred Wasserman explained, there is a process that needs to be navigated correctly on this “complex” issue. “The committee recommends that we do give condominium owners the vote, that’s never been an issue,” Wasserman said. “What we want to ask is to beg your indulgence. We want to do this as of July 1 when the committee reconvenes, make the necessary changes at that time and send it out to a vote of the membership.” The are currently 88 condos and 19 condo associations and each is a member of the Covenant and has two SEE CONDOS, A27

District seeks help in superintendent search BY KAREN BILLING On Friday, Feb. 5, the Rancho Santa Fe School District issued a request for proposal (RFP) for search firms to assist the board in selecting a new superintendent. Superintendent Lindy Delaney is retiring effective July 1 after 12 years as the superintendent and 30 years with the district as a teacher, coach, and administrator. According to the RFP, the board is looking for a firm that would assist in the solicitation of public, parent and staff input regarding the criteria for its new leader, help with advertising the vacancy, review of applications received and assistance with candidate interviews. The district’s general counsel Richard Currier will also play an
active role in the search, the RFP stated. The superintendent search was a discussion item on the board’s Feb. 4 agenda and a well-attended parent forum was also held on the topic. “The board is grappling with how to proceed,” Delaney said at the Feb. 4 meeting, noting the district has only had three superintendents since 1964. “They want to have as much public input on what is important to the parents as far as qualifications and the process. I feel like we have a great board in place to lead the process and take the time needed to make the best decision possible.” “The goal is to get someone in place for many years,” said RSF School District Board Vice President
Todd Frank. “We are trying to come up with the best way to enhance that reach. People want to know ‘how’s it going to happen?’ We all have that same feeling.” Delaney said in her experience sitting in her seat for the last 12 years, the board should be mindful that the people in the district have a really good handle on what the district needs, better than an outsider. RSF School District Board President Tyler Seltzer said he’s already received emails and comments and he encouraged people to continue to provide their insight as they look for the best possible replacement. “As far as I’m concerned, no one will ever fill her shoes,” Seltzer said.

In RSF, spring is voting season
O
n Groundhog’s Day, residents of the snow-pummeled northeast rejoiced when Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow. Past experience and hope tell them that spring will come early this year. And just last weekend, our sunny skies and summer temperatures reminded us that spring might not be far away for us. In the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe, we know that spring brings opportunities to cast our vote for people and issues that will influence our future. As I mentioned back in January, the Nominating Committee is gathering the names of individuals who are interested in running for a position on the RSF Association board in the May 2016 election. The committee would like to meet with as many of these volunteers as possible to discuss the duties of a board director. We have set aside times for these meetings on Feb. 23 and Feb. 25. There is still time to throw your name in the hat. Just email your statement of interest, along with your contact information, to daria@rsfassociation.org by Feb. 16, if possible. The actual deadline to submit
names for the ballot is March 14, 2016. The ballots will be mailed out on May 12, 2016, after the Annual Meeting. Election of directors will not be the only chance for you to cast your vote this spring. The Technology Infrastructure Committee, led by Director Philip Wilkinson, has been working tirelessly on two critical projects for the benefit of Covenant members. One is to improve cell coverage throughout the Covenant and the other is to install fiber optic broadband cable that will allow all residents access to 1 to 10-gigabit Internet speed. Such speeds will put our Covenant among the elite communities of our country, including the famous “Google cities.” The committee is close to finalizing the deal structures for both projects and to submitting the contracts to the board for consideration. It is likely that early this spring each of these projects will be sent to all Covenant members to seek your approval before the board makes its final decisions. I know you have all been following closely the work of the Covenant Club

Their December 2015 preliminary design is posted on our website and the committee has been refining that design, based on input received from members. In addition, now the design and accounting professionals are working with member volunteers on the extensive and detailed costing of the proposed project. The members of the Covenant Club Finance Subcommittee are examining various funding and operating models as more cost information becomes available to them. As spring progresses, look for notices of additional Covenant Club committee meetings, perhaps a survey and other opportunities to hear more about the project and to offer your opinions. Eventually, the project, including final design and proposed financial model, will be sent to all Covenant members for a vote. The project will not be sent to you for a vote until all the necessary and pertinent information and cost data have been obtained, vetted and made available to you. The Governing Documents Committee has completed its final round of revisions and amendments to our Bylaws and Articles. This has been a long process as well, involving a great deal of member comment and input. Our attorney is preparing the redline versions to present to the board. This spring, once the board

has had a final opportunity for review, this comprehensive package will be sent to all Covenant members for approval before the changes can take effect. The Gov Docs Committee is still working on the issue of giving condominium owners full rights of Covenant membership, including the right to vote in Covenant elections. This effort will require working with the nineteen condo developments within the Covenant and updating their bylaws as well. Members of the current RSF Association board want Covenant condo owners to have the full rights of membership. We hope to have the language for this initiative ready to be presented to Covenant members for approval later this year, perhaps by early summer. Your will be receiving all these ballots by USPS mail. Please watch for notices of the mailings. We members of the RSF Association board believe that each and every project and vote deserves your consideration. As a member of the small Covenant community, your vote counts. Please make sure you are registered and be sure to participate in all these opportunities to exercise your vote and your voice.

RSF Association chips in to ‘refresh’ expired roundabout EIR
RSF teachers and district begin contract negotiations
BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board has agreed to provide San Diego County with an additional $60,000 to update the Environmental Impact Report for the Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Highway roundabouts project, which has now gone “stale.” “They’re asking us to help finish the process,” RSF Association Manager Bill Overton said at the Feb. 4 meeting. “I would say that a 73 percent vote is compelling community support (for roundabouts) and it would be reasonable to use Covenant Enhancement Funds to complete this project and carry out the survey.” It took some time for the county to respond to the Association’s November letter about the survey-backed preference for roundabouts. Leann Carmichael, a county program manager with the department of public works, wrote a letter on Jan. 28 that detailed the long, winding road it took to get to where they are now, starting back in 2004 when the Association requested the roundabouts as an alternative to traffic signals. “Since that time, community interest waxed and waned. Considerable time, funding and effort were expended to bring the project to Draft EIR public review from late 2012 to early 2013,” read Carmichael’s recap. “As part of the EIR public process, the Association requested a reduction in the size of the roundabouts and took a passive position of not objecting to the EIR. Concurrently, the Association also initiated a new independent study of a traffic signal concept.” Carmichael said based on the lack of clear support for roundabouts and the “upswing in support for signals,” the county held off on
BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District received the initial proposal from the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association for its 2016-19 collective bargaining agreement at its Feb. 4 meeting. Contract negotiations will now begin between the district and the association for the 2016-19 school years. “The professional teaching staff of the Rancho Santa Fe School District consists of the highest caliber educators who continually go above and beyond to create the best learning environment for our students,” said Danika Severino, vice president of the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association and member of the negotiating team. “Our goal in this negotiation is to compensate our professional teaching staff in a way that is competitive with surrounding school districts.” By remaining competitive in salaries and benefits, Severino said the SEE CONTRACT, A26

certifying the EIR pending a clear recommendation. In May 2015, the county received the request to move forward with traffic signals, which was followed by the community-wide survey and the Association then asking to reverse its May request, submitting the preference for roundabouts in fall 2015. “I think it’s important that the membership knows, in reading this letter from the county, how tragically flawed our decision-making process is in this community,” said board member Kim Eggleston. “(The letter) is a condemnation of the wishy-washy, back and forth, one vocal minority overrides another vocal minority and we end up doing absolutely nothing… and this goes back to 2004.” Twelve years later, Eggleston said he hopes they are now making progress and that they will be more decisive in their decision-making. “I think the membership needs to know, this is no way to run a railroad,” Eggleston said. “I think it’s important that we get this issue behind us, give them the money, do it.” The cost to “refresh” the expired EIR is a total of $75,000, of which the county has $15,000 remaining for the project. The county requested the Association kick in the remaining $60,000 required to refresh and certify the EIR. Funding has not been identified for the roundabouts project and there is no estimated time frame for construction completion. In granting the money, the board members also wanted to ensure that once the EIR is certified it will remain certified and that it wouldn’t expire while they are waiting for funding.
RSF School board wary of blacktop solar panels BY KAREN BILLING At its Feb. 4 meeting, the Rancho Santa Fe School board was not ready to make a commitment with PFMG Solar on its proposal to bring solar-generating panels atop the school’s rooftops and over the blacktop area. Superintendent Lindy Delaney said the main issue was the impact of installing structures over the playground and lunch tables. “It does change the look of the

RSF Patrol says crime down, residents still need to take safety precautions BY KAREN BILLING Crime is down in Rancho Santa Fe, according to Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser’s annual report for 2015. At the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Feb. 4 meeting, Wellhouser said there were 16 burglaries, nine residential and seven commercial, compared to 23 cases in 2014 and 36 burglaries in 2012. “From a standpoint of home break-ins, we are doing fairly well but we still could do better,” Wellhouser said. He noted that in the case of residential burglaries, only 44 percent of the doors were locked. He said he can’t stress enough the importance of residents locking doors, closing windows, using exterior lighting and setting alarms. There was an increase in injury collisions in the Covenant with 35 in 2015, up from 14 in 2014. The injury collisions included one fatality: On May 13 at 6 a.m., a 56-year-old man was killed when he veered off Via de la Valle near Via de Santa Fe and collided with a tree. There were additionally 79 non-injury collisions and Wellhouser said the predominant factors in the 114 collisions was excessive speed, followed by right of way violations and inattention. “It pays to slow down and pay attention,” Wellhouser said. In 2015, the Patrol also drove 112,000 miles and conducted 35,900 vacation and security checks. The Patrol’s average response time to calls is six minutes and 22 seconds. “We’re very proud of that, there’s not a lot of towns that have that kind of service level,” Wellhouser said. In 2015, the Patrol handled 4,400 calls and they are already starting off 2016 on a busy note, according to Wellhouser. During the rain and wind storm last week, Wellhouser said the Patrol received 94 calls between Saturday to Monday morning when on average they take about 20 calls a weekend. “I think about 90 percent of trees in the Ranch blew over,” Wellhouser joked. “Fortunately, my guys did a fantastic job and our dispatchers kept on top of it. I want to extend my thanks to my guys, Arnold (Keene)’s Association crews and the county roads folks for doing a phenomenal job.” To request a security check or for more Rancho Santa Fe Patrol information, visit rsfpatrol.blogspot.com.

San Elijo Road next on county’s improvement list BY KAREN BILLING Arnold Keene, the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s field operations manager, said the question he hears most often from the membership is: “When is my road getting paved?” Keene provided an update to the board on road maintenance at the Feb. 4 meeting and a tentative answer to those questions: Hopefully soon. As Keene explained, the county oversees about 60 miles of roads in the Covenant and is responsible for road surfaces, striping, traffic signs, culvert maintenance, erosion control and emergency road
services, such as helping to clear roadways and place barricades on closed roads after the recent storms knocked down about 70 mature trees in the Covenant. The Association is in charge of maintenance of landscape along the roadside. Keene said the county maintains a list of countywide road projects and prioritizes repairs when funding becomes available — most funding comes from the California gas tax. The list is updated every October and all the requests for SEE ROAD, A25
RSF Association board decides against selling a portion of Osuna property at this time BY KAREN BILLING At its Feb. 4 meeting, the Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors discussed the possibility of selling a portion of the Osuna property but decided against it at this time. The Association purchased the 28-acre Osuna property in 2006 for $12 million with the goal to preserve the historic adobe, protect open space and prevent subdivision. A three-acre parcel was sold for $1.7 million in 2013, leaving 25 acres as one legal parcel. The property is also home to a working horse ranch — 45 percent of the horses boarded at Osuna
Ranch are owned by Covenant residents. Non-Covenant owners pay more than residents to board animals there. “If you polled the Osuna Committee, they would say they’d like to keep the whole property,” said board member Jerry Yahr, chair of the Osuna Committee. “But being realists, they see that there is an opportunity to take some component of net proceeds or built up reserves and that money could be put into the preservation of the adobe, it could be put into improvement of open space and, at the end of the day, create 10-12 acres that is viewed as SEE OSUNA, A26

CCHS baseball players helping to build field of dreams Boys are raising money to build sports center in Tijuana BY KAREN BILLING A group of Cathedral Catholic baseball players are displaying the best kind of teamwork, banding together to help raise money to build a sports center for underprivileged children in Tijuana. The boys are hoping to raise $45,000 for Build a Miracle non-profit to improve the lives of youngsters in the Florido Anabel neighborhood of Tijuana. The teammates have committed to not only raising the funds but to helping complete the manual labor of building the facility.

RSF School won’t pursue 2016 gym bond BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney advised the RSF School board that it would be “prudent to delay moving forward” on placing a bond measure on the 2016 ballot for a new school gym. At the Feb. 4 board meeting, Delaney recommended that the board wait until June or November 2018 and continue pursuing private funding for the facility. Over the past year, the board has
considered several options for the gym facility, which was built in the 1970s and is showing signs of wear and tear. The board looked at both a two-court and three-court new gym facility, which would include the amenities of wrestling and dance rooms, and locker and changing rooms. The two-court option was estimated at $16.2 million, while a three-court option would be about $19 million.

American Legion Post 416 experiencing resurgence BY JARED WHITLOCK The San Dieguito American Legion Post 416 found itself cornered two years ago. Not by enemies, but by time: Its long-time headquarters in downtown Encinitas was crumbling with no end in sight, its membership was aging and its funds were dwindling. Just when the future looked bleak, a new team of concerned Post 416 members took the reins of the veterans service organization in the summer of 2014 and charted a new course. By all accounts, they’ve been wildly successful. Post 416 has added almost 200 new members since June 2014 — the fastest growth rate among American Legion posts in Southern California during this period. All told, Post 416 counts about 450 members among its ranks. “A few years ago, we’d have a Post meeting and there might be five guys,” Rolf Ohnstad said. “Come in now and the room is full. This Post is the talk of all the American Legion at the local level and beyond.” Post Commander Steve Lewandowski credited a slew of new Post-initiated events with bringing in more members and also raising funds for the organization. Plus, the group has taken part in more community charity events as well as celebrations, with its float at the Encinitas Holiday Parade in December being a good example. “The word is getting out and veterans and others who didn’t know about us are coming out of the woodwork,” Lewandowski said. “We’ve really stepped up our outreach.” Recent special events hosted by Post 416 included a book signing with Lester Tenney, a Post member who survived the Bataan Death March in World War II, and a

Thornton spoke. Thornton was in the area for another engagement, but agreed to donate his time to support Post 416’s Save Our Legion campaign, which calls for rebuilding its space. Tucked away at 210 West F Street in Encinitas, Post 416 has been a community staple for local veterans and their families since 1932. One of the room’s walls is lined with pictures of past commanders, going back to the early 1930s.
Today, the spot is the headquarters for a legion territory that runs from Carmel Valley to Oceanside and then inland areas like San Marcos and Rancho Santa Fe. But the Encinitas Post buildings are badly in need of a renovation, a fact that was underscored more than two years ago when part of its east wall collapsed onto the sidewalk and street. Lewandowski said the account for the Save Our Legion campaign currently has more than $75,000, a sea change from three years ago when the group had almost no funds for repairs. In fact, the Post was
losing money every year and on pace to close within three years. “New leadership came in and knew the current state of affairs was unacceptable. The attitude was we’re not going to sit around and wait for the place to close. We’ve been too vital for the community for too long, so by God, we’re going to draw a line in the sand,” Lewandowski said. Post 416 is currently led by 11 officers. “We’ve turned it around, I’m proud to say,” he said. Lewandowski noted that many don’t realize that membership is not only open to veterans, but also those currently in uniform and those who have family who were in the military. Brian Hall, a Marine Corps veteran, joked that he was the token young guy when he first joined Post 416. But he said a good number of people in their 20s and 30s have joined in the last year or so. “It’s good to see people are carrying on this tradition,” Hall said. David Lash, a Vietnam War veteran, volunteers regularly at Post 416. He said there’s something about the wooden bar and surrounding rooms that just feel welcoming. Lash added he feels a real sense of camaraderie at the spot, attributing this to the shared bond among those who have served. “When I first walked in here, people I didn’t even know felt like my friends,” Lash said. Post 416 is open from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Visitors and those interested in becoming members are welcome to drop in. For more information on membership or donating, visit www.calegionpost416.org.

Ask the 2016
SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION THE RANCHO SANTA FE BROADBAND PROJECT
John Santhoff
AN EDITORIAL ADVERTISEMENT BY JOHN SANTHOFF, OWNER OF ORION CABLE The Rancho Santa Fe Association is negotiating to fund and build a Fiber-to-the-Home infrastructure at an estimated cost of more than $15 million. The HOA’s goal is to make available 1 Gbps to every home in the HOA that wants it. With approximately 1,500 homes in the HOA, this represents a cost of about $10,000.00 per home that will need to come from somewhere to fund such a project.
Fact: Orion Cable has an extensive network of miles of underground fiber installed within “The Ranch” used to deliver digital service to homeowners within RSF. Orion’s fiber optic backbone was installed in 2008 and runs through the heart of RSF.
Orion Cable’s infrastructure currently covers over 60 percent of all homes within the RSF covenant. Orion Cable provided the RSF Association a bid for $4.88 million to accomplish the same using our existing infrastructure – this bid was rejected by the RSF Association. Instead, they appear to be moving ahead with another provider for $15 million. The RSF Association has not notified the homeowners that they rejected Orion’s bid, which is $10 million less than the next higher bidder.
Fact: Orion Cables fiber based infrastructure is capable of delivering Gigabits of video and Internet / Broadband to our subscribers within the ranch using a combination of fiber and coax.
“The only way to provide Gigabit data rates to the home is with fiber.”
The RSF Broadband proposal to provide 1 Gbps broadband access to every home within the RSF covenant recently disclosed that it will cost in excess of $15 million.
U-T Community Press: There has been a lot of information and rumors lately related to the Internet / Broadband project within the RSF Covenant. I understand you have been involved in this process. What can you tell our readers about this?
Fact: Orion Cable already has miles of infrastructure within the RSF Covenant. As a result our cost to build out 1 Gbps service to every home within the RSF covenant would be a fraction of that $15 million cost. In fact, on two occasions within the last year Orion Cable provided two proposals to the RSF Association to build out 1 Gbps infrastructure to every home in the RSF covenant at a cost of $4.88 million. These proposals were rejected or not acted upon by the RSF association. Orion Cable’s proposal is less than 33% of the proposed $15 million cost!
John Santhoff: There has been some misinformation that Rancho Santa Fe homeowners may have read or heard that is misleading. I’d like to take this opportunity to clarify a few of these.
U-T Community Press: So what do you see as important questions that RSF homeowners should be asking the RSF Association about this proposal before it’s approved?
1) “Within the ranch there is very limited or no options for High-Speed Internet.”
John Santhoff: Needless to say, $15 million is a large sum of money. Here are some questions to pose to the RSF Association.
Orion is mounting an information campaign to RSF homeowners as to their options and questions they need to be asking the RSF Association about the upcoming proposal
Fact: Orion Cable has been serving the RSF covenant since 1988 and has offered high-speed Internet to the homeowners within “The Ranch” since 2008. Orion Cables infrastructure passes over 1,000 homes within RSF and there is a good chance we are probably serving one of your neighbors. “The maximum data rate available to homeowners within “The Ranch” is only 5 or 10 Mbps.” Fact: Orion Cable currently offers RSF homeowners data rates up to 100 Mbps and its existing fiber based backbone is capable of supporting data rates exceeding 1 Gigabit per second. “There is no fiber within the ranch.”
1.Before the RSF Association makes any commitments will all the proposals be made available for review by the homeowners within the RSF covenant before the Association makes any potential multi-million commitments? 2.Will RSF Association homeowners be offered the chance to vote on this proposal before the RSF Association approves the contract? 3.Why did the RSF Association on two occasions reject a proposal that was less than 1/3 the cost? 4.What else have you heard or been told about this project that maybe you have been misled on?

RSF Foundation funds food truck for seniors Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is funding an innovative program to provide food security and socialization for vulnerable seniors in three North County communities. The Thyme Together food truck serves nutritious lunches to seniors five days each week (except holidays) at four mobile home parks and one faith center in San Marcos, Oceanside and Vista. “We’re providing a mobile senior center,” said Paula Powers, RSF Foundation Grants and Projects Committee chair and RSF resident. “Our research told us that a lack of adequate transportation would be an obstacle to seniors traveling to a central location for food and socialization, so we’re bringing those necessities to them.” This highly collaborative North County Senior Connections program brings together Dreams for Change to provide the food truck and meals; Interfaith Community Services to coordinate the program and provide educational and entertaining activities; ProduceGood to train volunteers; and the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank to provide free fresh produce for the seniors to take home. “I am honored to work with the board and staff of the RSF Foundation to provide such an impactful program to meet the needs of the aging population in our neighboring communities,” said Powers. “We invite local community members to join us in providing food security and socialization for these

RSF Historical Society holds tour of La Flecha House Tour held for home-schooled children and their parents La Flecha House received a visit from a group of home-schooled students and their parents on Jan. 29. This group, led by Rose Chou of Scripps Ranch, was the first to come as a student group to see the new Timeline that the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society is exhibiting at La Flecha House. It will be brought to local schools in the near future. The RSF Historical Society hopes to enlighten the RSF students about the history of Rancho Santa Fe using this Timeline, which takes the RSF land through a journey from the time of the Kumeyaay Indians, through the Spanish Empire, the Mexican Republic and to the United States of America. It explains the evolution of the saying “Rancho Santa Fe: The Town the Railroad Built.” The students and their parents also enjoyed the newly landscaped courtyard with the El Camino Real Bell, and the Brooks Memorial fountain patio. They followed their visit to La Flecha House with a self-guided Walking Tour of the Village using the brochure available at La Flecha House. For more information, please visit rsfhs.org, or call Sharon Alix, administrator, at 858-756-9291.

Acclaimed Lord Nelson Mass by Haydn debuts Feb. 28 at Village Church One of the music world’s most outstanding compositions will be performed free on Sunday evening, Feb. 28, at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe when a full orchestra and choir present the Lord Nelson Mass by Franz Joseph Haydn. Building on the church’s reputation for presenting many of San Diego’s finest musical programs, this virtuoso Mass from 1798 will feature four of Southern California’s brightest up-and-coming soloists and the accomplished pianist David Bergstedt also performing J.S. Bach’s Klavier Concerto No. IV in A Major. “It’s exciting to offer the community such an exquisite example of the Mass from the Classical period that features virtuoso
soloists,” said Village Church Director of Music Ministries Juan Carlos Acosta. “The Lord Nelson Mass is a dramatic setting of some of the most familiar texts in sacred music and shows Haydn at the height of his Juan Carlos Acosta maturity harnessing a dramatic work for choir, orchestra and soloists.” In addition to noted pianist Bergstedt, the evening’s performers include: Village Church Chancel Choir; Village Community

Transformative period in cancer prevention
O
ne year ago this month, a pair of distinguished researchers at Johns Hopkins University published a study that essentially concluded getting cancer is just “bad luck,” the unfortunate result of random mutations during DNA replication. It was a startling statement, undermining the fundamental premise of cancer prevention, and it quickly prompted contentious debate among scientists and doctors. New research testing the Hopkins’ hypothesis published last month in Nature has come to the opposite conclusion: Cancer is not bad luck. It is, in fact, mostly preventable. This hopeful message was proclaimed in a special report on the future of cancer prevention research, published in the journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) by some of the nation’s leading cancer researchers, including Elizabeth Blackburn, former president of AACR, new president of Salk Institute for Biological Studies and an attendee at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland to discuss the topic.
(Full disclosure: I’m a co-author of the report, member of the AACR Board of Directors and Cancer Prevention Committee and editor-in-chief of Cancer Prevention Research. This is a topic close to my heart and an emphasis in my decades of cancer research and practice.) The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has also highlighted this transformation in its Jan. 13 Cancer Currents Blog by Barry Kramer, director of National Cancer Institute’s Division of Cancer Prevention. We have entered a transformative period in cancer prevention, and just in time. The American Cancer Society recently described a “rising global cancer epidemic,” with nearly 8 million people dying from cancer each year worldwide. The recent pace of cancer prevention research and translation has been astonishing, with advances in next-generation sequencing, liquid biopsy technology, big data analytics and immune oncology. These approaches are revealing the molecular and cellular events that launch the genetic, epigenetic (changes in gene expression without changes in the actual DNA)
and tumor inflammatory microenvironment alterations that drive development of cancer. In other words, this is the work that can – and will – lead to new drugs, vaccines and therapies that prevent the mutations that result in “bad luck,” treat premalignancy and detect cancer at an earlier, curable stage. The AACR special report has much to say. Here are some of the major cancer prevention advances in just the last two years, largely through precision medicine and immune-oncology (boosting the body’s natural defenses to fend off malignancies): • Advances in genomics and the improving ability to crunch extraordinary amounts of data are fueling efforts like those of investigators at the Iris and Matthew Strauss Center for the Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer, who reported last year the discovery of six ovarian tumor-specific mRNA isoforms (from more than 350,000 genome-wide) and now in clinic trial at Moores for early detection of ovarian cancer with a pap smear. Other related efforts include the Cancer Cell Mapping Initiative, a collaboration involving Moores Cancer Center, the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center at UC San Francisco and others. Similarly, there is a “Pre-Cancer Genome Atlas” in the works. • Genomic markers for early detection of colon and lung cancer have been validated for standard clinical use. Liquid biopsy technologies, which seek to identify tell-tale clues of lurking cancers in blood samples, have SEE CANCER, A24
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Specific locations of cell tower sites should be made clear The RSF Association is recommending three different cell tower locations in our community. There is a map that has been circulated that identifies these general locations in the Ranch. I would also recommend that these three sites be identified with story poles or some kind of visual replica as usually required for structures exceeding our usual height restrictions. I realize that these structures will be designed to be hidden and made to resemble trees; however, they will be tall and unnatural to the native environment in our community. While we all would like better internet coverage, there should be full disclosure and transparency on the specific sites so there are no surprises on this important issue. Marion Dodson
Just a pretty picture Very soon we all will be treated to a lovely rendering of the proposed new Covenant Club. I hear there will be a model as well, designed to show how the whole facility will tuck in
beautifully between the Golf and Tennis Clubs. But what that picture and model will not show are the facts that could make the whole project very different after you vote on it. There is the knotty parking problem. The proposed design calls for 300 parking spaces, 50 percent more than we have now. The Covenant Club is projected to have 650 members the first year, growing to 775 over five years. Obviously, that would require considerably more parking spaces than planned. But, because the present lot is considered underutilized (tell that to anybody trying to get a parking place around noon on most Tuesdays or Wednesdays), the architects believe they can make it work. Of course, the county has the final say on that. And they won’t be asked until after the vote. Then, how about the water under the planned site? Soil tests are being conducted to see how significantly that well-known problem will affect construction costs. But the necessary Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that will investigate ground, traffic, noise abatement, and other life-style impacting issues, will be postponed until after the vote. What about the neighbors? No problem says the RSF Association board. They do not need to be informed, consulted, or asked. Of course if any other Rancho Santa Fe homeowner wanted
to build a pool, or a gym, or even add a room, they would have to get their neighbors’ approval. And, also, get the approval of the Design Review Board. And erect story poles. But, the RSF Association board says that doesn’t apply to them. Of course, the neighbors might want to contest that view legally. When? After the vote. And, finally, the construction costs. We will be shown an estimate. It will be as accurate as an estimate can be before actual work begins but most of us have done some building or remodeling. How often do projects come in on time and on budget? Especially one with the obvious site problems this one has? Of course, the actual costs of the project will be known eventually. We just won’t know them until after the vote. I think you get my point. Soon we will see a drawing of the Covenant Club. Maybe even a detailed model showing parking lots and tennis courts. But, what we won’t see is the design after approvals, its cost or, most importantly, how it will affect the neighbors, including the golf and tennis clubs. We will vote. Then, the feasibility studying truly begins. So, really, what are we voting on now? An idea? Or a pretty picture? Bob Mettler

FROM TOWERS, A1 confusion in the community that the board’s vote to award the contract was the end of the process when, in fact, it was just a beginning. Once a contract is awarded, a process begins that includes amending the Wireless Master Plan, approval from the Covenant Design Review Committee, public hearings, going through the San Dieguito Planning Group and county process. “This has been a year and a half’s worth of work by the tech committee in response to customer demand saying there’s horrible cell reception in the community and it needs to improve for safety, for property values, for a variety of reasons,” Overton said. After the site locations for the towers were released, many residents expressed concerns about the proximity to their homes. “When I first learned where the cell sites would be, I was totally stunned out of my brain,” said resident Jean Wedbush. “My first feeling was, ‘Why have we been left out?’” Tom Szabo, an 11-year resident, said the map of the proposed locations highlighted his home nearby. “I came here because of the Covenant, it’s rustic, it’s protected, there’s a homeowners association, there’s a board, there’s people here protecting what we paid a lot of money for,” Szabo said. “You’re talking about a 90-foot tower 15 feet from my house. It would be a travesty of your responsibility if you let that happen.” Wilkinson said that Szabo has been misinformed; that no one would be building a faux tree within 15 feet of someone’s home. The goal is to have the sites as far away from structures as possible, he said. In 2003, San Diego County adopted an ordinance dealing with wireless telecommunication facilities as they were concerned about a proliferation of carriers — the ordinance encouraged cellular facilities to minimize aesthetic impacts in the communities they supported. One component of the ordinance was the development of a wireless community master plan to identify a preferred design and locations for cellular facilities. The RSF Association crafted its master plan in 2006 and from various options selected the implementation of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). Installed in 2008, the DAS has 46 of the maximum 53 nodes within the Covenant with co-located carriers AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. Verizon does not participate in the DAS although it does have a facility on top of the RSF Fire Station. “The DAS does not work,” Wilkinson said of the antiquated system. “It was meant primarily for coverage on roadways…It doesn’t get to homes.” Anne Marie Weller, who was a member of
the Wireless Master Plan Committee, said one of the proposed sites is 100 feet from her property line. She said the towers would affect property values, impair aesthetics and substantially damage the marketability of her home as cell towers are viewed as ugly and harmful to people’s health. Weller said she hopes the Association will consider more equitable solutions. Resident Laurel Lemarie, also a member of the master plan committee, said the preference of the plan was that towers be placed in commercial areas and only in the background of residential areas. Lemarie also had concerns about the accompanying equipment building screening that will come with the trees —in the case of the La Glorieta location, she said it would take up the entire roundabout in the middle of the road. Many residents expressed health and safety concerns regarding the faux trees. “It’s far more dangerous to have a poor cell signal because a phone is working harder against your face trying to make a connection,” Licosati said. “The health impacts are far worse today because our cell phones are working harder than ever to make a connection, that increases the thermal heat which is the only thing that can disrupt DNA.” Wilkinson said that the sites are roughly 100 watts per cell carrier. “You can have up to one watt up to your head with your smart phone, which is far greater than any other RF (radio frequency) that you ever receive standing below one of these faux trees,” Wilkinson said. RSF Association President Ann Boon said all of the community’s questions are a concern to the board and they hope to be able to answer them as they begin the process with ATC, starting with the town hall. Board member Kim Eggleston voted against tabling the item to March and having the town hall. He said it’s unacceptable that he can’t make a phone call out of his own home. “We could debate this endlessly and this is why nothing ever happens in this place. There’s a vocal minority who wants to be heard I understand, but this is why we have propane tanks, why we have septic, why we have no cell phone coverage, why we have no internet. This is why this place can’t move forward. Everyone has got a very strong opinion about everything ” Eggleston said. “We’re trying to address everyone’s concerns in a rational way and listen. This community somehow has to pull itself into the 21st century.” “Your efforts are laudable,” said resident Bob Grigg, who expressed concerns about the safety of the towers. “I think having better cell phone coverage here is a wonderful thing to go for, I think what you’re doing with the fiber, for example, is wonderful. These devices are wonderful, but it has to be put in proper perspective.”

Partnering with New Vision Church, students performed service projects, and helped the underprivileged. Hundreds of people came to New Vision’s food distribution center, where SFC students distributed groceries.

Middle School has worked with New Vision, thanks to the coordination efforts of SFC Middle School teacher Mark Andriany. “I am grateful for the leadership and vision of Mark Andriany who continues to expand our partnership with New Vision Church and provide amazing community service experiences for our Middle School students,” said Middle School Principal Dr. Todd Deveau. New Vision Christian Fellowship follows up on connections made by mission teams to provide ongoing, year-round ministry and maximize the valuable resources coming into the community through urban mission trips. The hope is that by working together, kids will change their perspectives about homelessness, serve those in need, and see themselves as the hands and feet of Jesus in this world.

President Obama recently challenged American medical science to cure cancer, “once and for all.” That is a very tall order. It won’t happen anytime soon.

design, build and maintain the system. The savings to the district could grow to over $3 million in 25 years. At Rowe, Smith said there were some limitations in where the 227-kilowatt system could go, resulting in structures on the roof which Delaney had concerns about as well as the carport-style shade structures on the blacktop, which troubled the board members. “I’m just afraid these things are going to look massive,” said RSF School District Board Vice President Todd Frank. “You can fool yourself into thinking that it’s going to blend in but there are other options to accomplish the same things in a more discreet
way.” A less impactful option for solar at the school would be on the Dacus property on El Fuego, with structures over the teacher parking lot, Delaney said. Should it opt for the Dacus property, the district would need to conduct an Environmental Impact Report, which would cost about $100,000 to $150,000 for the nine months-to-a-year process. The existing dirt lot would also be paved as part of the project — teachers in the audience at the board meeting cheered the promise of asphalt replacing the dusty lot. Delaney said she would bring back the idea of doing an EIR on the Dacus property at a future meeting.
FROM ROAD, A4 county work on Covenant road improvements need to be recommendations from the San Dieguito Planning Group. Over the last five years, funding has been strong for road improvements and 11 Covenant roads have benefited, including significant resurfacing of El Camino Del Norte and new curbs and gutters at the intersection of La Granada and Avenida de Acacias. Last summer, Keene said the “absolutely terrible” Las Colinas road was repaved and is now a well-done road. The next major project is San Elijo between El Montevideo and La Granada, which Keene said is in terrible
condition. The county will need to do repaving, road and culvert repair and shoulder work. The County Board of Supervisors is expected to approve the project in early February with construction set to begin in mid-to-late summer. “Our goal is to ensure that Rancho Santa Fe is a part of the county’s future priorities,” Keene said, noting they have built a good partnership with the San Dieguito Planning Group and share many of the same road maintenance priorities. “I feel confident that (the planning group) has our best interests in mind and we’ll continue to get roads fixed and paved as we move forward.”

By overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care
LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

district would have the ability to retain and attract the highest quality educators. In June 2015, the school board approved a retroactive 3 percent off-schedule raise for the 2014-15 school year and a 3 percent on-schedule salary increase for 2015-16. Starting in 1996-97, Rancho Santa Fe teachers consistently received a bump in salary of about 3.5 percent a year, going up to 4.5 percent in 2007-08. There had not been an increase since the 2008-09 school year, although teachers have received off-salary increases, which are like end-of-the-year bonuses. In the upcoming negotiations, Severino said the faculty association would like to review articles on salary, benefits and rights, as well as review several board policies, including the policies regarding enrollment of children of district employees and salary schedule goals. “The faculty and the school board have always had a relationship built on mutual respect,” Severino said. “We look forward to continuing that partnership.”
more usable to the entire community much like the Arroyo property but not require the Association to be in the horse-keeping business.” At the direction of the board, the Osuna Committee analyzed three valuation scenarios. The first scenario included selling the property as is, which was valued at $8.96 million. In a second scenario the Association takes on the role of a developer, makes improvements and sells the lots as a two-to-five-lot subdivision assuming all development risk and expense. In this scenario the property is valued at $7.97 million to $8.75 million, generating $3.8 million to $5.13 million in cash. A third scenario is a developer subdivision, in which the Association sells the unentitled land to a developer and the developer manages the subdivision and assumes all risk and expense. In this scenario, the property is valued at $6.56 million to $7 million, generating $2.7 to $3.39 million in cash. In all scenarios, the Association would retain the adobe parcel. As Yahr noted, the Osuna Ranch is a positive cash flow, not a huge one, but it’s anywhere from $30,000 to $50,00 a year and it covers all the costs of operating the adobe and repairs. If that property is sold there will be no revenue generation. According to Yahr, if the Association decides to proceed with a sale, the Osuna Committee recommends that the Association not be a developer but a wholesaler. “I personally don’t think it should be sold,” Yahr said. “We’ve been in a rising market, we have $7 million in the Covenant Enhancement Fund, we don’t need the cash right now. It’s good to understand where we are but I wouldn’t recommend that we proceed at this time.” In reviewing the valuation scenarios, the board members agreed that it was not the right time to move forward. Board member Philip Wilkinson expressed disappointment with how low the appraisal was. “We should wait until market conditions are right and we have a need for the cash,” Wilkinson said.
difference and community support, and donations have allowed Build a Miracle to grow. On the strength of donations and hundreds of volunteer builders, the organization has now built 230 homes for families in Mexico, giving them a safe and decent place to live. They also provide education, trade schools and support for small businesses. The 11 boys in the group each aim to raise their share of the $45,000 fundraising goal. To help raise his money, Jake requested donations instead of gifts for Christmas and has about $500 to go before he meets his target, More than just handing over money, the boys have made real connections with the community they are serving — each of the baseball players also has a “Buddy” at Build A Miracle. The team exchanged letters with their Buddies and before Christmas the boys got to meet them when they traveled to Tijuana, bearing gifts and engaging their Buddies in a game of soccer on the dirt field where they play now. “They won,” Jake said of their soccer-loving Buddies. Jake’s Buddy is a 9-year-old named Axel. “It was really fun to meet him and really cool to see the looks on their faces when they got their gifts,” Jake said. “Axel was proud of his soccer playing.” Once the Dons are done, the Buddies and hundreds of other children in Florido Anabel will be able to play sports at the new Build A
Finn Mallery wins Earl Warren Spelling Bee BY KRISTINA HOUCK Earl Warren Middle School has a new Spelling Bee champ. Eighth-grader Finn Mallery took first place in the Feb. 2 competition at the Solana Beach school. “I was really surprised,” Finn said. “I didn’t expect to make it that far.” Students had to first compete in their English classes. Two students from every class then went on to the school-wide competition. A total of 40 students participated in the Spelling Bee. After an hour and a half and 16 rounds, Finn spelled “consciousness” to beat second place finisher Natalie Feldman. Anna Ginzberg came in third place. “It was just a really supportive environment,” Principal Adam Camacho said. “The kids were cheering each other on. It was a proud moment.” As a seventh-grader, Finn competed last year in his English class, but he did not make it to the next level. This year, Finn studied for the event during a recent road trip to Mammoth Mountain. “I won my classroom, so I decided to start studying for the school one,” he said. “It’s useful to know how to spell things,” added Finn, who doesn’t know yet what he wants to do when he grows up. “It will help with getting a career in writing or being a journalist.”

As the school champ, Finn will go on to compete in the 47th annual San Diego Union-Tribune Countywide Spelling Bee March 15 at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. Last year, Oona Flood, then an eighth-grader at Earl Warren, won the countywide competition and went on to represent the county in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., where she narrowly missed the cut for the semifinals. “It’s a reflection of the kids’ hard work, and certainty, the quality of education they’re getting from our amazing teachers,” Camacho said. Finn wants to follow in her footsteps and represent Earl Warren in Washington, D.C. this year. “I want to try going to the national one,” Finn said. “I think it’d be pretty cool.”
FROM MARATHON, A7 Valentine’s Day this year. “I just have to advise the board, ye,s there are people who like this event and think it’s a good thing, but I’ve gotten an awful lot of complaints this week…There are a lot of critics that don’t feel that the needs of the Ranch are being met.” In addition to concerns representing 50 homeowners, Overton said he also heard from local businesses such as Rancho Santa Fe Flowers & Gifts who said that the road closures will impact them on their busiest day of the year. Race organizer Kathy Loper Events has placed public notice of road closures 20 days in advance to encourage people to plan trips accordingly and take alternate routes on Sunday. At least one resident, Frank Freed, felt that the proliferation of advance signs and barricades on streets, bike lanes, riding trails was “excessive” and an “over-reach” — he said there are 15 barricades alone in a half-mile of La Orilla. “We all have been notified in more ways than one, you cannot miss the orange signs,” Freed said, requesting the barricades at every driveway be taken down prior to the event. Race organizer Kathy Loper said that they were only complying with the county on appropriate signage. Murali Pasumarthi, a county traffic engineering manager, said that the barricades will be removed until race day. Board member Kim Eggleston said he thinks it is “astonishing” that the county can close the roads for four and a half hours and he can’t even leave his house. “I think it is an absurdity to have a half marathon in this neighborhood and shut this place down,” Eggleston said. “In my opinion, it’s crazy.” Board member Jerry Yahr disagreed with
Jake Connelly and his Build a Miracle Buddy Axel. Miracle Sports Center, which will feature a full-service sport court, stadium seating, lighting and equipment. The sports center will give the kids a safe and fun place to play and as Jake said, “give them a dream to reach to.” “This is teaching me to appreciate what I have in life and to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way, including the opportunity to help others,” Jake said. To donate to Jake and the CCHS team’s efforts, e-mail Jconnelly2019@cchsdons.com To learn more about Build A Miracle, visit buildamiracle.net. Eggleston. “I’ve run the event numerous times and I personally think it’s a great event to have in Rancho Santa Fe,” Yahr said. “I travel around the world running in events and communities all around the world encourage having events in their backyard to create camaraderie and a sense of community interaction. I think it’s a small price to pay to have the roads closed for four hours for what it does to the community and for the local park.” Looking ahead to next year’s event, Overton said it’s imperative that the Association immediately start working with the county to help the applicant plan the event in a much different way. “We’ve always wanted to be good neighbors,” Loper said, noting she is willing to work with the Association. Pasumarthi said that every option is on the table for any future events and that the county can impose “reasonable restrictions” on the applicant. In the future, they can discuss items with the applicant, such as time of day, day of week, the route and the potential for partial road closures. “Every year I hear these last minute comments from a vocal few, those are the ones who would like to see it happen in another person’s neighborhood and not their own. I would encourage staff to work with the organizer,” Yahr said. “This is just Not In My Backyard noise that to me is just really disappointing.” RSF Association President Ann Boon suggested that the board and community really pay attention on Feb. 14 and make note of any race day concerns as they look ahead to next year. “It’s a historic event in a historic community. We want to be good neighbors with everyone who lives in the county and certainly support our parks,” Boon said. “In return we would hope for a modicum of respect and consideration.”

FROM CONDOS, A1 designated property sites. “The way it’s structured is the condominium association itself selects who from their membership can vote on Association matters,” Wasserman said. “They are not members of this Association, the two people who are designated, which is why we have this mess here. All they have is the right to vote.” Historically, only those selected members were able to join the RSF Golf Club, although Wasserman said that problem was fixed when the board allowed any condo owner to be a member of the RSF Golf Club in 2014. In order to make the voting right changes, the RSF Association needs to identify the president and officers of each condo association and obtain each association’s bylaws, articles and CC and Rs. The members who are presently on the committee have agreed to serve on
the new 2016 committee and resolve this issue, Wasserman said. They will then make a recommendation to the board regarding their findings. “This is the process that we think we need to go through to do this correctly, we do not want to do this in a haphazard way or create problem where the board or Association gets sued by some dissonant member of the Association because we haven’t followed the correct process,” Wasserman. The voting for the first round of bylaw amendments recommended by the committee will be on the ballot at the same time as the election of directors in May. Those changes include eliminating the need to register to vote, every property will have two votes and getting rid of the nominating committee for the board of directors. “We think we’ve accomplished a lot in this first round of drafts, those three important things,” said board member and committee member Mike Licosati.
“The condo issue is more complex because we really don’t have control over that. If we were to now give condo owners the right to vote it could conflict with the individual condo associations’ governing documents which could open ourselves up to potential liability.” Patricia Kramer, a condo owner for 14 years, expressed her disappointment in the delay. “We would really like our vote,” Kramer said. “We would like to vote on the pool project, we are not getting our voices heard on that.” She worries that refining the documents could take another 10 to 15 yearsm but Wasserman assured Kramer that it would not take 15 years, it would be done immediately. “The onus is on the condo people to step up and do what we need to get done and we cannot do it in a vacuum and we can’t make these changes without the information,” Wasserman said. “Believe me this is going to get done as fast as we can get it done.”

Basketball player’s performance draws Globetrotter to The Bishop’s School Bishop’s junior and Rancho Santa Fe resident Alessandra Aguirre’s fierce basketball game has drawn the attention of the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters. When she scored a record 50 points in a game with 15 three-point shots, the Globetrotters decided to send one of their own, “El Gato” Melendez, to The Bishop’s
School. Feb. 8, El Gato surprised the students and faculty at Bishop’s, joining them in the gym for what they thought were all-school announcements. El Gato then invited several students to try some Globetrotters moves, and challenged Alessandra to a shootout in front of the school.

‘The Last Match’ serves up life lessons at The Old Globe
JIM COX
Real-life fiancés Patrick J. Adams and Troian Bellisario star as couple Tim and Mallory in the world premiere of ‘The Last Match’ at The Old Globe Theatre.
BY DIANA SAENGER The world premiere of Anna Ziegler’s “The Last Match,” follows the competition between two tennis players. Directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch (“Bethany” at The Globe 2014), the play ups the contest components through the involvement of their wives, and looks at how family and everyday life become a major factor of the game. Sergei Sergeyev (Alex Mickiewicz), representing Russia at the U.S. Open tennis semifinals, faces off against American superstar Tim Porter (Patrick J. Adams). Sitting on the sidelines are their wives — Tim’s Mallory (Troian Bellisario) and Sergei’s Galina (Natalia Payne). One can only wonder what goes through all of their minds as the matches play out. Juggling very busy schedules, the engaged-in-real-life Adams and Bellisario said they were delighted to earn roles in “The Last Match.” Bellisario has a huge resume of film, TV and theatrical work and is an actress on TV’s “Pretty Little Liars.” Adams, who plays Mike Ross on TV’s “Suits,” is a producer, director and actor who has garnered Drama Critics Circle Award nominations and several Ovation Awards for his work. “This play is brutally honest and both of us were excited to get on the stage,” Adams said. “For me, it’s the idea that being at the top of your game and successful doesn’t mean you get to sidestep all the regular problems people have. My character has had an exciting last five years of his life professionally, but finds a little more money in his pocket doesn’t solve everything. (Playwright) Anna did a beautiful job of getting into the heads of two people who were suffering on different sides of that.” Said Bellisario, “Anna captured my character as someone who was once a player and now takes a supportive role to someone who is exceeding at a level she couldn’t. There are a lot of elements I connected with and was able to explore.” The plot surrounding Tim versus Sergei, finds one at the end of his career and the other at the beginning. They have led different lives with different struggles. Outside of the game, the challenge is how they connect in the themes of family

love, their journey through the game, and the inevitable conclusions. Announcing the production, Globe’s Artistic Director Barry Edelstein said its basis in tennis serves as a metaphor that is both witty and probing. Adams, who is reacquainting himself with the game, agreed. “Tennis is a place-holder with universal themes like success, marriage, mortality, family, children, legacy and things we spend a lot of time focusing on,” he said. “What I found most provoking about tennis is how lonely it is. When you read player’s biographies you get a sense of how insular they are. Some say it’s the loneliest sport in the world. You’re not surrounded by teammates; you can’t speak to a coach. You’re standing far from your opponent, there’s no communication or physical interaction. Anna said she always wondered what goes through their minds.” Bellisario added, “I think Anna wanted to examine an athlete’s last match and whether an aging athlete could still do what he did when he was younger. It’s like real life where people are contemplating the end of their careers and transitioning into late-adulthood and retirement. This play examines two people in these situations.” The actors attest that audiences will enjoy this play for both its sports theme and its ponderings about how we live our lives. “Even though it’s about tennis, at its core is happiness,” Bellisario said. “Does it make you happy when you get what you want?” Adams added, “After seeing the play, I hope the audience members start a discussion about their sense of self-worth and value. It made me think maybe we should be pushing our energy toward other things, like grounding ourselves and our family and loved ones, and using guideposts to know who we are rather than looking atexternal things.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Last Match” plays out Feb. 13-March 13 at The Old Globe Theatre’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

EVENT BRIEFS Canyon Crest Academy to present ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ Canyon Crest Academy will present Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” Feb. 19, Feb. 20, Feb. 25, Feb. 26 and Feb. 27 at CCA, located at 5951 Village Center Loop Dr. Carmel Valley, 92130. All show times are at 7 p.m. except for the Feb. 25 performance, which is at 4:30 p.m. Shrew is the tale of two young men, the optimistic Lucentio and the worldly Petruchio, and the two sisters they meet in Padua. Lucentio falls head over heels for Bianca, but before they can marry her elder sister Katherine must also be wed. Petruchio, attracted to the huge dowry, arranges to marry Katherine — against her will — and enters into a battle of the sexes that has been coined one of Shakespeare’s most entertaining works. The title roles will be played by Third Year Envision Theatre Arts Conservatory seniors Annika Patton and Jacob Surovsky. Devotedly directed by Steve Lipinsky (former board member and head acting coach of the San Diego Shakespeare Society). For tickets and more information, visit www.cca-envision.org/events/
North Coast Rep presents special concert ‘Love Letters from Vietnam’ Feb. 29 “For the Sender” leader and primary singer-songwriter Alex Woodard has fueled a dedication to veterans’ causes into “Love Letters from Vietnam,” being performed at North Coast Repertory Theatre Feb. 29 at 7:30 p.m. The songs are inspired by the extraordinary correspondence into the past between a passionate yet deeply flawed soldier and his daughter. “As I put myself behind this soldier’s eyes to write these songs, I talked to veterans, volunteered at events, and became more immersed in their stories,” Woodard says. “I found that there could be something post-traumatic other than a disorder. Beauty, growth, and hope. that’s what I tried to get across on the album and in my concert.” After watching Woodard perform an earlier storytelling compilation of songs about letters, Jennifer Fuller summoned up the courage to give him a cardboard box with “Love Letters from Vietnam” etched on the lid. She had found the box, containing letters written from her father while he was stationed in Vietnam, buried in a closet during a family move. Her father had ultimately died from the burdens he carried home from the war, and she answered his letters back in time to channel her personal pain and find healing. The themes of forgiveness, compassion and gratitude flow throughout the album, as they embody Jennifer’s process of grief and catharsis. A concert version “For the Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam” will be read and sung by Alex Woodard as Sergeant Fuller and Molly Jenson as Jennifer Fuller. For Tickets: (858) 481-1055 or

Solana Beach actress to co-star in ‘Rasheeda Speaking’ Play opens Feb. 19 at La Jolla Commons Theatre BY KRISTINA HOUCK Longtime local actress June Gottleib is returning to the stage. The Solana Beach resident is co-starring in Vantage Theatre’s production of “Rasheeda Speaking” Feb. 19 through March 6 at La Jolla Commons Theatre. “I’ve been hesitant, at this point in my life, to take on too much theater, because it is time-consuming and I’ve got so many interests in life right now,” 78-year-old Gottleib said with a smile. “But this is an interesting play.” Set in the reception area of a Chicago medical clinic, Joel Drake Johnson’s off-Broadway play raises questions about the prevalence of racism. The roughly 90-minute play centers on friendly co-workers Ileen and Jaclyn. Tension escalates, however, when their employer, Dr. Williams, promotes Ileen and instructs her to document Jaclyn’s work habits. Gottleib plays Rose Saunders, a new patient of Williams, who unwittingly ignites the racial tension in the office. “This character is such fun to
play,” Gottleib said. “She’s sweet, charming, means well, but underneath all that, something else is simmering.” Rose is the latest character Gottleib has tackled in her second career as an actress. Gottleib became an artist by chance, after she and her late husband relocated to San Diego from Michigan in 1990. Gottleib, who holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in social work from the University of Michigan, previously worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. “I just did it on a whim,” said Gottleib, who decided to try acting after seeing an ad in a local paper. “I often tell people, especially as you age, to open up to something that’s different or new because you never know what you’re capable of doing.” Gottleib started acting in her mid 50s, appearing in about a dozen commercials in the early 1990s. Starting as an extra, she then went on to land small roles in films that shot in San Diego, including one with Anthony Perkins and Rosanna Arquette with a scene in Seaport Village. Another film, starring Richard Gere, had scenes at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. “It was kind of fun,” Gottleib

said. “I actually made some very nice films.” Gottleib finally turned to theater, auditioning for two plays at once. She landed both roles but decided to make her theater debut in “The Convertible Girl” at Lamplighter's Community Theatre in La Mesa. “I learned a lot while I was on stage,” said Gottleib, who has two
children and three grandchildren. “There’s nothing more challenging, I think, than theater. They don’t stop and start the cameras. Whatever happens, happens on stage. That was exciting for me.” With a growing love of theater, Gottleib began taking acting lessons. She has since worked with a number of local organizations, including New Village Arts Theatre in Carlsbad. Gottleib has also written two plays, which Playwrights Project produced for the stage. More recently, she has performed slam poetry at La Paloma Theater in Encinitas. “I really reinvented myself when I came here,” Gottleib said in reflection. “If I hadn’t moved here, I don’t think I would have done that. The opportunity just fell into my hands.” “Rasheeda Speaking” open Feb. 19 and runs through March 6 at La Jolla Commons Theatre, located at 1216 Cave St. in La Jolla. A panel with the actors, health care workers, human resource professionals and others will take place after each production. General admission is $20. VIP tickets cost $30.

Budget Blinds to help renovate veteran’s home Budget Blinds, the largest window coverings franchise in North America with over 1,000 territories, recently participated in Designing Spaces’ Military Makeover special that surprised an injured air force veteran, his wife and five young children with a newly renovated home better suited to the families ever-growing needs. The show works hard to find deserving military veterans and families in need of home
renovations in an effort to give back to those who have already given so much. They found one in Technical Sergeant Kevin Parke in Crestview, Florida. An Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, currently assigned to Eglin Air Force Base, entered the Air Force in 2003. He served two deployments in Afghanistan where he survived three separate IED detonations. Despite sustaining injuries, he stayed with his team each time. For this bravery and his accomplishments he earned countless medals and awards, including receiving two Purple Hearts for his injuries. The home’s completed renovations were unveiled to the Parke family in a private ceremony on Oct. 29, 2015. To see the family’s reactions to receiving the dream home they truly deserve, watch the three-part series of Military Makeover on Thursdays, Feb. 18, March 3, and March 10 at 7 a.m. (ET/PT) on Lifetime® Television.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4941 EL MIRLO, RANCHO SANTA FE, CA 92067 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $1,819,993.00 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-6597766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08001619-15-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

Virginia Tech Transportation Institute to Study Potential Outcomes of Truckers Self-Regulation The concept of truckers getting adequate rest has been an issue that has received a lot of press attention in recent years, especially after the notorious New Jersey wreck involving a Walmart driver and comedian
Tracy Morgan. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute has recently signed a contract with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in order to learn more about the impacts of when drivers are allowed to choose more freedom and flexibility over when they get rest. The study, which will kick off in 2017, will explore the behaviors of 200 long-haul truckers who will not have to adhere to the current regulations, such as obtaining a consecutive 8- hour sleeping period. Federal authorities have long been involved in the process of trying to ensure that truck drivers get appropriate rest. There are regulations that have been in
place for the last 13+ years mandating how long truckers can be off-duty and how long they need to rest. In 2003, truckers were allowed to work up to 14 straight hours, but the driving part of their job had to conclude by the eleventh hour. Drivers are also mandated to take off a minimum of 10 straight hours between when they stop and begin driving again. One of the primary concerns about truckers’ safety as well as their freedom and flexibility currently has to do with those trucks that have a sleeping compartment. In 2003, drivers who had sleeping berths in their cab were required to spend two periods of at least 10 hours in the berth. Each period had to be two hours. In 2008, however, a change was made to
mandate that at least 8 of those 10 hours were spent in the sleeping berth in one particular period. The Director of the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute Center for Truck and Bus Safety says that there is little reason to have this requirement if it doesn’t actually have an influence on safety; this is part of what this study will intend to explore. The company involved in this research study, SmartDrive, is based in California. The drivers will be outfitted with an electronic wristband to track their sleep and video cameras will be installed in the trucks in order to explore their behavior as well as berth conditions.

The parcel is fully improved with electricity, landscaping and irrigation and could be easily transformed into a personal vineyard or a second property with its own estate. Sequestered beyond the guarded entry gates of a prestigious private enclave and positioned high on a hillside over the top-rated Maderas Golf Club, the estate enjoys expansive views of the surrounding valleys from every window with no neighbors or development in sight. This rare privacy is coupled with the convenience of living within 15 minutes of a wide range of award-winning schools and just 20 minutes from the world-class shopping,
dining, entertainment and culture found in Del Mar, La Jolla and downtown San Diego. In addition to the world-class amenities, the property enjoys two producing wells that sustain the home and grounds. There is ample space to add solar and live completely “off the grid” amongst the ancient native oak trees within walking distance of a 700-acre ecological reserve.
