Osuna Adobe in need of structural repairs Committee to seek funding for repairs to historic RSF structure BY KAREN BILLING Over the summer, the Rancho Santa Fe Association completed work removing the concrete stucco from the historic Osuna Adobe. The resurfacing of the structure with new adobe mud and whitewash created a marked improvement on parts of the adobe, however, several structural problems were discovered that must be repaired for the rest of the resurfacing work to be completed. The Osuna Committee will make a request for funding for additional repairs, an amount not to exceed $24,720 at the Oct. 4 board meeting (after presstime for this newspaper).
According to a report by the committee, during the resurfacing work it was discovered that three wood beam window “headers” and two door headers had rotted. The headers support the weight above the opening and the rotted condition poses a substantial structural risk that could result in the windows’ or doors’ failure. There are already large cracks in the adobe walls above the openings where the headers have rotted. Temporary wood braces have been installed as a precaution. Another issue that must be repaired is in one section of the exterior adobe block that is not well consolidated to the interior adobe block. The Osuna Committee received bids from two contractors and will recommend the company that had the lower bid and completed the resurfacing work not affected by the repairs.
BY JOE TASH A proposal by Rancho Cielo Estates Ltd. to build 42 detached condominium homes within the Cielo community was put on hold by the county Board of Supervisors, who want the developer to work with county staff, the local planning group and residents to overcome objections to the project. At its meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 26, the board voted unanimously to support a motion by Supervisor Bill Horn to send the proposed condo project back to staff for more review. If the developer can revise the plans to satisfy community concerns, the project can be brought back before the board for consideration. No date was set to bring the project back.
The community’s opposition to the condo project centered on three areas, according to a county staff report: incompatibility with the character of the existing community; inadequate environmental review; and a lack of community involvement and input on the project. The county’s Department of Planning and Development Services disputed the contentions of opponents and recommended that the board approve the project, as did the County Planning Commission. The San Dieguito Community Planning Group initially supported the project, but rescinded its support at a meeting in July. The Cielo community See CIELO, page 21

Buzz: RSF Association amenities BY PRESIDENT ROXANA FOXX, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT I receive input from many Roxana Foxx of you on a variety of topics and I am surprised to learn how many members are not aware of the wonderful amenities that our community has to offer. Over the next few months I will highlight a few of the benefits and encourage Covenant residents to take advantage of everything the community has to offer. The most significant misunderstanding by some of you is the belief that the RSF Golf Club is only open to Golf Club members. Any member of the Covenant has the right and is welcome to dine at the clubhouse and use the restaurant facilities,
including the snack bar. This also includes use of the private dining rooms and banquet facilities, as well as special social events including the upcoming Hoedown on Oct. 6, cowboy attire optional. As an additional benefit, the Golf Shop is also open to Association members who want to purchase logo wear and other merchandise. A longtime member recently called the Association office and wanted to purchase and set up a social membership so they could take out-of-town friends to the Club. The answer is: If you are an RSF Association member your social membership is already established and you have an assigned member number which, if forgotten, is available to you at the Association office. Simply go to the Club and charge your food and beverage and Golf Shop merchandise to your membership number and the Association will bill you at the end of the month
for your charges. My husband Bob and I are not golfers but we use the Club facilities on a regular basis and find that it is a fun and convenient way to socialize with our neighbors, not to mention that the food and service are outstanding. The restaurant is now open for lunch and dinner every day except Mondays and is open for breakfast from 7:30 a.m.-11 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays, and for brunch on Sundays from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Your Association membership number is also good at The Inn. Under a special arrangement with The Inn they will accept your membership number for any charges, including dining, room accommodations and spa facilities. Simply present your number when you are at The Inn and you will be billed at the end of the month by the Association. I encourage you to give the Club and your membership number a try. Happy Rancho Days!

Two local scientists predicted to win Nobel Prize BY ASHLEY MACKIN For the past 11 years, Thomson Reuters has issued predictions as to who will win the Nobel Prize in science categories, as “Citation Laureates.” This year, two La Jolla-based scientists are included on that list in the “Medicine” category. Tony R. Hunter of the Salk Institute of Biological Studies and Erkki Ruoslahti of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute are predicted to win for their cellular-based medical research. The “official” Nobel announcement regarding the winner will be Oct. 8 at 11:30 a.m. from Stockholm, Sweden. A press release issued by Thompson Reuters explained the process by which the scientists are chosen. “Based on a thorough review of citations to their research, the company names these high-impact researchers as Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates and predicts them to be Nobel Prize winners, either this year or in the future,” the release stated.
Erkki Ruoslahti of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute “Our Citation Laureate selection process operates much like the Nobel Foundation’s selection process,” Thomson Reuters citation analyst David Pendlebury said in the release. “We recognize fundamental discoveries and identify the most important contributors to these discoveries. Our Citation Laureates have made such important contributions to science that we believe them to be peers of the Nobel Prize winners in every way; they simply have yet to win.” In 2011, Thompson Re-
uters correctly predicted nine of the winners. Hunter was suggested because of his research in cell signaling and control. His 40 years of research in how cancer cells work has lead to the development and approval of over 10 cancer treatment drugs. In researching the mechanisms of cancer and tumors, Hunter and his team discovered what he refers to as a switch. This switch, when turned on, tells cells when to grow and divide. “What we found was,
cancer viruses use this switch as one of the ways in which they cause the cancer cells to proliferate in an uncontrolled manner,” Hunter explained. He also said normal healthy cells can turn the switch on and off. “They turn it on when they want to grow and divide and turn it off again. What these cancer viruses were able to do were to turn the switch on permanently, so they’re always dividing,” he said. The medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration over the last 10 years target the individual enzymes that carry this switch throughout the body. “These drugs are part of the arsenal one can use in treating cancer,” Hunter said. From here, Hunter said, he and his team are, “still trying to understand how cancer cells are different from normal cells, to learn what their vulnerabilities are, what one might target in developing yet further cancer drugs.” While humbly doubtful that he will win the
Tony R. Hunter of the Salk Institute of Biological Studies Prize, he said he is very excited and felt privileged to be suggested. Ruoslahti is also being predicted for his cancer research at the cellular level. “Inspired by ideas put forward by my supervisor and other professors at Caltech – where I worked as an aspiring researcher – I set out to discover the factors that cells use to attach them to their surrounding tissue, keeping them where they’re supposed to be. I felt that breakdown of this
glue was likely to allow cancer cells to migrate [and] metastasize to distant sites in the body,” he said. After 20 years of research, the validity of this theory was proven, and has led to the development of a synthetic compound that block or encourage cell attachment. “Applications of these discoveries range from keeping clogged arteries open to getting artificial organs to integrate with living cells to delivering drugs to a site of disease like a guided missile,” Ruoslahti said. He added, “I am excited about the newest applications, [such as] the guided missile delivery of drugs. Some of this is in clinical trials for the treatment and diagnosis of cancers.” Ruoslahti also said there are more being studied on animals that should soon enter into clinical trials. In addition to continuing cancer research, Ruoslahti and his team are using similar technology to improve treatments of heart attacks, strokes and tissue injuries.

A fun secret: It smells like chocolate inside. “My husband is so flexible,” Wells said. “He told me ‘All I need is a sofa.’” Wells’ life-size, pop-infused mosaics can be found all over her home, returned from showings or resting before going off for another. Right inside her doorway is her “Urban Fruit Tree,” 16 feet tall and 11 feet wide, with branches topped by items such as hamburgers, Coke bottles and Hershey’s kisses, back home from stints in Chicago and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art last year. “I’m having a really good time. I feel very, very lucky,” said Wells. “It’s still a surprise to me, I pinch myself every day…What I like the most is people’s response to it, they tell me my work makes them happy and makes them laugh.” Everything about her art is whimsical, even down to the fact that her sculptures are delivered and art materials picked up in a remade Good Humor ice cream

She is seen here with fellow artist Robert Townsend pretending to take a bite. truck. What could be happier than an ice cream truck? Currently, Wells’ big, glittering hot dog is part of the “Pop Culture” exhibit at the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art on the Pepperdine University campus in Malibu. Wells was excited to share the room with works of art by artists she respects, such as James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann and her “hero” Andy Warhol. She is only one of three living artists featured in the exhibit that runs through Dec. 2. Her work is also currently on display in galleries in Paris, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Laguna Beach. Locally, she has works in the San Diego Air and Space Museum; the Oceanside Musuem of Art; 17 pieces in the
Kinsella Library in La Jolla; and one special fish in the R. Roger Rowe School Library. Recently, her Chanel bottle was snatched up by the Chanel headquarters in New York City. “I am influenced by pop culture and I enjoy making iconic sculptures of things that are not seen as that important and make them important by making them big and sparkly,” Wells said. The Seattle native was born into an artistic family—she is a third generation mosaic artist. “We did everything in our family,” she said of their explorations in painting and sculpture. “When I went to kindergarten I thought everyone was an artist. We were always doing art.” As a teenager, she served as an
apprentice to her father as he worked on the St. Demetrios Greek Church in Seattle, a largescale Byzantine-style mosaic. Her artist table was the family pool table and her father handed her squares to cut, only allowing her to do background pieces. Wells studied graphic design in college and worked in advertising while raising her two children, but never let go of her love of creating. Once her children left home, she decided to devote more time to sculpture and mosaics and had her first solo show in 2007. Her mosaic pieces are characterized by sparkle and shine, everything from hamburgers to six-foottall women in bathing suits gets the twinkle treatment. “I was always attracted to sparkle,” said Wells, noting she loves to infuse her art and her life with big, bright colors and healthy doses of “pizzaz.” It can take six months to a year to complete one of her largescale pieces, but she usually has more than one project going on her studio, located in a separate space outside her home — roll-up doors allowing for transport of her larger than life pieces. She is in her studio every day, “I love to work,” she says. Glass is stored in shelves organized in a rainbow of color. She hand-cuts the glass and will apply it to a polyurethane foam. A naked
Jean Wells’ bathing beauties foam formed into a yo-yo sits on her table ready to be transformed, on another sits a fish that is in for a scale repair. A big future project is parked right outside her roll-up doors: A small plane. The plane is part of a commissioned project from Las Vegas for a “21st Century Noah’s Arc.” The plane will serve as the arc and animals will be created twoby-two with the largest being giraffe heads poking out of the cockpit all the way down to tiny, glittery ants. “There’s never a lull,” said Wells. “It’s always go, go, go.” To learn more about the “Pop Culture” exhibit at the Frederick R.

New medical director of Scripps Radiation Therapy Center focuses on mind, body, spirit BY KATHY DAY As an undergraduate at UCLA, Ray Lin studied psychobiology because it was a little bit neurology, a little bit biology and a little bit psychology. “It combined the mind, body and spirit,” said the radiation oncologist who is the medical director of the new Scripps Radiation Therapy Center and is still focusing on those three elements of life. He specialized in radiation oncology for three main reasons, he said in a recent interview: • “You really get to know your patients. They come in every day for six to seven weeks and you see them every single day,” he said, adding that in other specialties you may see an individual once every six months or even less frequently. • “It’s so high tech … radiation oncologists love their toys.” • And, “I love oncology.” With cancer set to overtake heart disease as the most common cause of death, he said, he wants to be able to help fight “this devastating disease that affects every family in some way.” After graduating from UCLA, he attended Loyola University of Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine before returning to Southern California where he interned at UCLA and did his residency at Loma Linda University Medical Center. That’s where he stayed until 2001 when he moved to Scripps Clinic/Green Hospital. When he followed his boss at Loma Linda, Huan Jiap, M.D., to Scripps, he began work in brachytherapy – placing radiation inside the body — in cardiovascular disease. His specialties include breast, lung and gas-

And being responsible for the new Radiation Therapy Center, which unites the radiation oncology services for Scripps Green Hospital and Scripps Memorial La Jolla, is another one of those different things he’s tackled. Now that it’s open – the first patients were treated in mid-September, with Memorial’s program set to be fully relocated by this week and Scripps Green’s by late November — he’s responsible for its day-to-day operation. In addition, he oversees administration and is a liaison for the staff, physician and administrators. During the planning stages, he had input on design and functionality and with selecting equipment and quality assurance. “I never knew how to read a blueprint,” Lin said. But since “radiation oncologists think in 3-D terms” and he had a lot of help he made it through, helping out by talking about how patients flowed through the office from check-in to the sizes of the dressing rooms. The process included weekly meetings over the past two years with repre-
Art Jury Corner
sentatives from the two programs, including nurses, physicians and the physicists. Through that process, he noted, they selected the best practices and protocols so they could standardize treatments. Patients also had a say in the design through a series of focus groups that helped the team understand what worked for them and what didn’t. “We had to get everybody to work together,” he said, noting Scripps Health’s evolution to “one Scripps with specialty centers” throughout the county. “It’s not cost effective to have radiation oncology at every site; it’s more cost effective to have one great [center] than to have three mediocre [centers].” Located just east of Scripps Clinic/Green Hospital on Torrey Pines Mesa, the $44 million center was set to mark the opening on Oct. 3 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for community leaders, and a community open house will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 6. The center includes the latest technology, from three new linear accelerators, which will improve precision and shorten treatment times, to a CT simulator with 4-D capability.
Lin said the new equipment is not just more precise and faster – a treatment session for pancreatic cancer has been reduced from 30 minutes to just 3 minutes – but also more comfortable for the patient. In addition, the simulator can adjust for a patient’s breathing and can “choreograph” motion, decreasing the impacts on surrounding organs and potential side effects. The measures of success, he said, are that they have “capacity and compassion” as healthcare providers; the right technology to provide the best care and a physical environment that promotes healing. When patients visit the facility, the first impression will be dramatically different from what patients at Scripps Green used to experience as they walked down two flights of stairs or rode the elevator to the basement at the hospital and used dressing rooms that were like small closets. Now patients, including those just going for rechecks or an appointment that doesn’t involve a radiation treatment, enter a modernist facility with extensive use of glass, allowing for lots of natural light, a rooftop healing garden, a patient resource library and nature-inspired art work. It also has research and physician office space. He said he hopes the new center is “a place where people going through a dark time in their life will find some comfort.” While Lin said he loves doing what he does, “my passion is my family.” And that includes the family dog, traveling, eating good food and being involved with his daughter’s and son’s activities. Lin also likes to run and swim, and he is a UCLA-trivia buff dating back to his days as a

His daughter Abby, 7, plays tennis, and his son Noah, 10, who is a student at Diegueño Middle School, swims three days a week and is getting ready to give a triathlon a shot. Noah also plays in a band with several school friends. His proud papa noted that the boys will be playing at the grand opening. Lin and his wife Daphne have known each other since they played together as children, he said. Their parents all came to the U.S. to go to graduate school at the University of Oregon. Lin’s parents had each left China after World War II
and moved to Taiwan where they met. Independently over the years, the couple’s parents moved to San Diego and then to Los Angeles, where both Lin and Daphne attended UCLA – again with no connection. At their parents’ urging they reconnected after “not playing together for 15 years” and renewed their relationship. Now they’ve been married for 13 years. As he talked about his family and his work, you could hear his dedication and passion come through, along with that sense that he believes in finding balance between mind, body and spirit.

Story Poles
As you travel around the Ranch you have probably noticed wood or plastic poles with strings and ribbons strung between them located on various properties. These “story poles” are required by the Art Jury for certain types of new construction. The poles serve an important purpose not only for the Art Jury, but for applicants and neighbors as well. Story poles are required for applications for new construction of over 1500 square feet (sometimes less). The story poles are not intended to show the exact, detailed appearance of the building(s) but rather to generally depict, on the property, the project’s bulk, shape and location on the site. The poles are of great assistance in determining a project’s visibility from various vantage points. In addition to being a tool for the Art Jury to use in its decision making process, the story poles have been a great aid to neighbors to let them be aware of a project’s appearance from their home.
The story poles are sometimes also a benefit to the applicants. Occasionally, applicants will adjust plans after seeing the poles erected on their property and the project in “3-D” versus on paper. Owners may see that the home is situated differently on a lot than they previously imagined or they may determine that rooms should be revised to better suit their needs. It is the Art Jury’s hope that the story poles benefit the various parties involved as well as the community as a whole. The Art Jury requests that after a project has received an approval that the owners be considerate of the community and remove the poles from the property. Please keep an eye out for story poles in our community and call Association staff at (858) 756-1174 if you have any questions. — RSF Art Jury

Beach and Country Guild’s 43rd annual Dia Del Sol ready to dazzle Popular longtime local event continues to raise funds for United Cerebral Palsy San Diego BY KAREN BILLING The Beach and Country Guild is hoping everyone will “Strike a Pose” this year in support of United Cerebral Palsy, San Diego at its annual luncheon and fashion show. The event will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. “We’re doing really well this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if we sell out,” said guild president Lynn Owen, who has been with the guild for 25 years and is serving as its president for the third time. The guild holds several small fundraising events throughout the year, such as rummage sales and a golf tournament, but Dia Del Sol is its biggest fundraiser every year and its most successful. The event will feature silent and live auctions, gourmet luncheon, and a runway fashion show featuring looks from Nicole Miller, Karen Millen, Ted Baker, GOGA by Gordana, Maggie B and Mister B. Mistress of Ceremonies is Kimberly Hunt. Donation drawing items include jewelry from Tiffany’s, a Hermes scarf and reserved seating at Padres Opening Day 2013, among others. Exciting live auction items include seven nights for two on the SeaDream Yacht Club Mediterranean Cruise, a three-night getaway at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, and seven nights in a private villa
in Cabo San Lucas. “One that is always a big seller and the women go crazy for is the dinner for six cooked by the Rancho Santa Fe Firefighters,” Owen said. The Beach and Country Guild is in its 43rd amazing year of supporting United Cerebral Palsy. UCP’s mission is to advance independence, productivity and full citizenship of people affected by cerebral palsy. Their mission includes everything from assisting someone in finding their first job, helping a child express himself through technology to breaking down barriers so all people can fully participate in the community. “It’s such a relief for parents of kids with cerebral palsy,” said Owen, noting that once people with CP turn 18 years old, there are few resources for them and that’s where UCP can step in to help. UCP runs programs where young adults with CP are given job training and are put to work — one of the jobs is helping stuff envelopes for the Olivenhain Municipal Water District. “It’s such an elation, to see how wonderful it is to have them producing something,” said Owen. The guild started 43 years ago with a few women in Rancho Santa Fe who found out that UCP in San Diego County had no one to help raise funds. They held a tea to raise money and were inspired by

Owen knew very little about cerebral palsy when she first started with the group. A friend told her about Beach and Country Guild and once she started participating and seeing the benefit the organization provides, she was hooked. “It’s my passion,” said Owen, who says she is downright selfish
and happily so when it comes to supporting this cause. Part of Dia Del Sol is also a children’s fashion show, featuring children with CP. The smiles on the faces of participants is indescribable, Owen said. Owen recently received a heartwarming email from the parent of an 8-year-old who participated in last year’s show. “She said that it changed her daughter’s life, that she now realizes ‘I can be somebody, I have the ability to dress in a pretty outfit and have people applaud her just for being her. She said her whole life is turned around and she wants to do things, be out and that she is proud of who she is,” Owen said. “That e-mail just tore me apart, it was so wonderful and that’s just a small part of what we’re able to do.” She said there are heroes at UCP changing lives every day. Owen, a fine artist by trade, has been in charge of the decorations for Dia del Sol for “years and years” and she enjoys coming up with something different every year. One year centerpieces were composed of handmade paper, another used mirrors and one very funky year they had toasters plugged with flowers. Her group of seven volunteers has been working once a week since June on the special centerpieces for the event. In her Del Mar home studio, centerpieces are

In her studio, on the tables and dangling from a wire, are 40 “girls” — little wooden models each painted bright colors. The wooden girls are each composed of 17 moveable pieces and 19 screws and bolts that were lovingly painted and put together piece by piece. Each girl will be on an electric stand, turning and striking a pose at the center of each table. There will also be five, life-size girls and all of the artwork will be sold off at the end of the event.

Local resident’s new novel combines high seas adventure with legal drama BY JOE TASH V. Frank Asaro brings together many of his areas of expertise — philosopher, lawyer, inventor and composer — in his new novel, “The Tortoise Shell Code.” Asaro, a local resident, wanted to tell the dramatic story of the sinking of a comV. Frank Asaro mercial fishing boat off the coast of Central America, while putting forward his theory of “co-opetition,” in which both cooperation and competition are essential elements of every type of human endeavor. “I wanted to promote the theory and I thought the novel was a good way to do it,” said Asaro, who practiced law for nearly 50 years in the areas of real estate, business and admiralty — or maritime — law. He is now “90 percent retired,” taking on a small amount of legal work but focusing on writing and other business ventures. Last year, he published his first book, a non-fiction work that lays out his theory, called, “Universal Co-Opetition: Nature’s Fusion of Cooperation and Competition.” Both the non-fiction book and the novel were published by Del Mar-based Bettie Youngs Books, and can be ordered through Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com. The novel is part high seas adventure and part legal drama, as the main character, an attorney, seeks to disentangle himself from the case, which hinges on the cause of the tuna boat’s sinking, and the determination of who was responsible. Asaro has also woven in threads of revolution and international diplomacy, as rebel fighters use the tuna boat to smuggle weapons, and later as parties to the conflict meet in secret in an effort to settle their dispute.
“The book is truly exciting,” said Youngs, noting that a big market exists for sea-related stories. Currently, she said, her team is getting the word out about the novel, and also seeking to interest foreign markets. Asaro’s first book has already been translated into two languages and more translations are expected. Even during his legal career, Asaro said, he enjoyed writing scraps of stories and novels. “I’d do it to get my mind off the pressures of litigation,” he said. If he woke up in the middle of the night thinking of the legal case he was working on, he would pick up a pen and pad to relax his mind. In fact, pieces of “The Tortoise Shell Code” were written over the past 25 years, he said. His theory of co-opetition also developed over many years, beginning several decades ago. While the two ideas might seem to be diametrically opposed, he said, they actually work together in many areas, from music to economics to politics to chemistry. Rather than a Darwinian competition for survival, he said, capitalism itself is a merger of both competition and cooperation. The key is to strike a balance between the two that results in a balance that works for all parties. As an example, he cited an outrigger canoe, which uses a small float attached to the canoe by a cross-bar. If the outrigger is too small, the canoe is unstable and could tip over. If it’s too large, he said, it will drag down the canoe and impede its progress through the water. “The system I want to see in the economy and politics is an ordered liberty, a moral liberty,” he said. “This concept is an antidote for polarization that allows reason to get into the argument so it’s not just based on emotion.”

“Is it Helium?” By Jon Webster Don’t get me wrong, I love it when the stock market goes up just as much as the next guy. Unless, of course, I feel it might be by non artificial means, say helium for instance. To my way of thinking there is not a whole lot else other than helium keeping this market afloat.

I believe the trailing and current fundamentals for U.S. corporations are and have been fantastic. I have written about this extensively. I see great balance sheets, a once in a generation opportunity to re-finance debt at rock bottom interest rates, high cash levels and historically high levels of productivity.

It would be false to say there hasn’t been any job growth. The job growth statistics, as I interpret them, tell me the jobs being created do not generally pay as much as before and do not promise the longevity as in years past.

The CNBC.com article titled “For Luxury RealEstate, the ‘Year of Capitulation’” dated August 2, 2012 showed this market was down an astonishing 20%. The middle market is looking pretty good though.

International Bipolar Foundation advocates for stigma reduction In celebration of National Bipolar Awareness Day, International Bipolar Foundation holds its global anti-stigma campaign. When it comes to mental illness and stigma, silence is not golden. Stigma hurts. It prevents people from getting the medical help they need. It prevents them from turning to their loved ones for support. Stigma stems from ignorance — people just don’t understand mental illness. Please join us in educating people about mental illness with our second annual “Say It Forward” campaign, in honor of National Bipolar Awareness Day on Oct. 4. The concept “pay it forward” means to do a selfless good deed for another. In our online anti-stigma campaign, you can do that just by forwarding an email. We hope that you will help us spread the word and decrease stigma by sending out information about Say It Forward to your members.
Here is how it works: Go to the link below to get started. Then forward the email we have created containing information that does the education for you, to as many friends, family, and coworkers as you can. Ask them to send it on to whomever they can. We will be tracking how many people who receive the message about mental illness during the week of National Bipolar Awareness Day.* The campaign will run now through Sunday, Oct. 7. Our goal is to reach 10,000 people this year! http://internationalbipolarfoundation.org/say_it_forward/ Our mission is to eliminate bipolar disorder through the advancement of research; to promote and enhance care & support services; and to erase associated stigma through public education. www.internationalbipolarfoundation. org To have the link sent to you, please contact mwalker.ibpf@gmail.com

‘The Rimers of Eldritch’ comes to Canyon Crest Academy Oct. 11-20 Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre will present “The Rimers of Eldritch,” Lanford Wilson’s gripping courtroom drama, from Oct. 11 – 20 at the Proscenium Theater on the CCA campus. The Rimers of Eldritch takes place in the tiny, midwestern town of Eldritch and centers on the mystery of a murder and the trial that follows. This intriguing play, in its simplest portrayal, is about a town and the inhabitants that enter and exit its borders. However, at its core, Rimers is about how lies transform into truth and how we live and breathe these lies and force them into reality, and explores the blurred line between what happens, what we say happens, and what is remembered for years (From left to right) Ben Sutton as to come.

Congressman Allen West to speak at RSF GOP Women event Oct. 14 The Rancho Santa Fe Republican Women, Fed. have a unique opportunity to have Representative Allen West (R-FL) to speak on Sunday, Oct. 14. Congressman Allen West All Republicans are invited. (This is a rescheduling from the event planned for July 2011.) A Republican within the T.E.A. party movement, West was raised “very conservatively” in a Democrat home. Both his father and brother served honorably as military officers. Beginning in 1983, West began a proud 22-year career as the third of the fourth consecutive generation of the West family to serve in the U.S. armed forces. West is a true American patriot: From his first assignment in the Army as an airborne infantry company fire support team leader to
engagements in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and in Afghanistan as a member of the First Infantry Division, to final promotion as Battalion Commander of the 2d Battalion 20th Field Artillery of the 4th Infantry Division (retiring in 2004 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel), through his being elected to Congress in 2010, West has defended the right to free speech and upheld the liberties granted by the Constitution, according to RSF Republican Women Fed. The event will be held on Sunday, Oct. 14, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at Morgan Run Club & Resort. It will feature a private reception and discussion with light appetizers and beverages. Morgan Run Club & Resort is located at 5690 Cancha de Golf, Rancho Santa Fe. Cost is $100 per person. For reservations or information, contact Jody at LilyJo33@aol. com or 858-756-1906.

Competition is akin to chaos, and too much of that results in anarchy, or no government at all, he said. “You’ve got to find the synthesis that works really well,” said Asaro, who put himself just to the right of center on the political spectrum. Asaro has a couple of
WATER continued from page 1 think first about what’s best for the district,” Irvin said. “My biggest concern is that we might lose some of those people because they’re so highly qualified that other districts might hire them away from us.” In the last 15 years, according to Irvin, “the district has maintained one of the lowest rates in the county; become the only AAA bond-rated water agency in the county; won six top awards for accounting and reporting; and has not incurred new debt in the last 10 years.” When Irvin came on board, the district didn’t have an asset management plan in place. “We established a 10year plan to replace the aging system,” Irvin said. “Pipes can last 50 years and we had a lot of pipe that was over 50 years old.” With his background as a submariner in the military, Irvin understood the importance of upkeep. He said other districts may experience a lot of water breaks, mainly because they have deferred maintenance in order to keep water rates down. But he said the longer districts wait to make re-

He’s also a jazz drummer and composer, and has put out a CD of his compositions with noted San Diego jazz guitarist Peter Sprague. In addition, he holds several patents for his inventions, which include a device that allows eye-drops to be administered with one hand. “He’s just a very talented person,” said publisher Bettie Youngs.

placements, the more it is going to end up costing. He is very proud of the maintenance program Santa Fe Irrigation now has in place. The district has conducted several ratepayer surveys and “generally we’ve done a good job, we don’t get very many complaints,” Irvin said. He said that certain people in recent years have raised complaints about rates and employee benefits. Irvin said the district has negotiated new agreements with employees and established a new second tier pension program. Employees now pay 8 percent toward retirement and they have reduced medical benefits for future employees. Irvin encourages voters to get to know the candidates who are up for election on Nov. 6. Incumbent Kenneth Dunford and candidate Greg Gruzdowich are vying for the division number one seat, while Holly Smith Jones and Alan Smerican are running to take Irvin’s place, the division number two seat. Irvin said the winning candidates will take on challenging issues such as the water desalination plant in Carlsbad, which Santa Fe will have to share costs on and could kick up water
rates by 5 percent. The board will also look at the Bay-Delta area pipe and who will be picking up the tab, Northern California or Southern California. He said it is most important to have a board that can continue to work well together and make the best decisions for the district. “The board doesn’t all agree all the time, but it works very hard together as a team, I’m proud of that,” Irvin said. By stepping away from the board, Irvin will focus more time on family. He and his wife have three children and now have 12 grandchildren scattered across the United States and a great-grandchild due next year. They have a motor home that they use to visit all of those grandchildren — driving out to spots such as Texas, Indiana and Illinois. While he’s looking forward to taking more of those trips without hurrying back to get to an irrigation district meeting, when he’s in town he expects to continue to drop in on the district. “I’ll still go to meetings, I’ll have my say and they’ll decide whether or not to ignore me,” Irvin said. “The agency will stand on its own with me or without me. They’re in very good shape.”
for the area, and that if such homes were needed in the community, they should be put in a different location. Supervisor Pam SlaterPrice said she was concerned about a number of issues, including whether the roads in the area were adequate to allow a smooth traffic flow in case of an emergency evacuation. She also cited county staff’s admission that if the project fell under today’s environmental regulations, rather than the rules in place when Cielo was first built, it would face difficulty in being approved.
“Doesn’t that give us all a wakeup call? It gives me one,” Slater-Price said. Horn said the project, as proposed, would cover up the ridgeline through the area, and that it should be redesigned. Under the motion approved by the board, the project was put on hold “with the intent that the developer work with County staff, the community and the Planning Group to make the development compatible with the surrounding area or find another location for what is being proposed.”

Patriot Profiles: Take care of your Marines and they’ll take care of you This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY A loving father tells his 5-year-old daughter “Daddy’s a police officer fighting the bad guys,” a concept that helps her understand why her father has to be deployed for months at a time. Thousands more children, who yearn for a parent to return from war, learn hard and fast the meaning of sacrifice in the military. And yet these youngsters, who give so much, get back the vital blessings of freedom as long as there are fathers, mothers and others willing to step up to defend it. Sergeant Travis D. Nessel served his first four years in the Marine Corps and got out when his daughter was born. At that time he thought, “It wasn’t for me.” When he was recalled back to active duty, he realized how much he’d missed it — choosing to re-enlist back into a bonded chain of brotherhood that is “First to Fight.” What spurs him on? “It’s duty to that guy left or right of you more than anything else.” “‘First to Fight’ is more than just a motto,” states the Marine Corps. “It’s a mindset and a core tenet
driving every Marine to achieve and maintain optimal readiness. You never know when the next conflict or crisis will occur.” In 1952, the 82nd Congress mandated that, “The Marine Corps be the most ready when the nation is generally the least ready…” Nessel, an “Amphibious Assault Vehicle Crew Chief,” adds, “People on the outside might think you wake up running and go fight wars.” From day one of signing up, it’s constant preparation – testing, schooling, testing, and more school in order to be battle-ready. The hardest time for Nessel was when he attended his first Sergeant’s Course. “In three months, they teach you everything from basic tactics, ways to counsel and mentor, public speaking, military papers format, and clerical skills…I took a lot away from that that I refer to all the time.” He went on to attend Marine Combat Training School of Infantry (MCTSOI) where he learned weaponry and how a fire team operates. From there it was school for amphibious

assault vehicles (AAV), massive tracked vehicles capable of going on land and water. “The AAV’s purpose is ship to shore movements, amphibious assaults, attacking b e a c h fronts, and stuff of that nature,” says Nessel. “We also use it a lot to transport troops.” The AAV can go up to 12 nautical miles out from shore – an amazing distance for a 29-ton watertight “tank.” Although no stranger to the unknown — being born into a family of firefighters — Nessel found plunging this $250 million “amtrack” through the surf a bit intimidating. All the hatches are closed and darkness surrounds except for dome lights. “My first splash in school, we had a fire in the generator.” With older amphibious vehicles, it’s a lot of “turning wrenches.” “For every eight hours of operation, it’s eight hours of maintenance. Like any job, you get used to it.” Nessel, a native of Eau Claire, Wisc., volunteered for a deployment to Al Anbar Province with the 3rd
Amphibious Assault Battalion in support of “Operation Iraqi Freedom II – ½.” While on tracked vehicles, he led a crew of three and was in charge of four other vehicles in his section. “The body of the AAV is light armor [which is more vulnerable], so we put a 50-caliber heavy barrel gun and grenade launcher on there, which enhances our defense.” Soft-spoken, but serious, the sandy-haired Sergeant explains, “When you get in country, your first brief is rules of engagement.” As Crew Chief, he’s in charge to make tactical decisions if they get engaged. Are the protocols to shoot met? Can they see the hostile intent? “We use warning flags and pyrotechnics — anything to de-escalate the situation before it gets to the worst-case scenario.” Nessel conducted numerous raids, seizures, and searches to keep supply routes open along the border of Iraq and Syria. A year later, as part of Operation Steel Curtain and Iron Fist, he returned back to that same spot to find insurgents had completely taken over. Villagers had been pushed out of the cities of SEE PATRIOT, PAGE B18

RSF Orthodontics offers a variety of services, treatments for children and adults BY KELLEY CARLSON For Natalie Lam, owner of Rancho Santa Fe Orthodontics, a career in the dentistry specialty aligns perfectly with her interests, strengths and passions. “My favorite subjects in school were biology and physics,” she explained. “I have always enjoyed working with my hands. I remember even when I was a kid that I loved doing arts and crafts, putting together puzzles, and taking apart my toys and putting them back together. Natalie Lam “Orthodontics is very much like putting together a puzzle using biology, physics, and art: It is moving teeth so that they fit perfectly and create a beautiful smile,” Lam added. “I knew I wanted a career where I could help people. Orthodontics can have such a positive impact on a person’s life by increasing someone’s self-esteem and confidence, and helping them achieve the smile they always wanted.” To achieve her goals, Lam first attended Duke University, where she received a bachelor of science degree and graduated magna cum laude in 1997. Lam then earned a doctor of dental medicine degree from Harvard in 2003. She owned
an orthodontic practice in Arlington, Va., before moving to California at the end of 2010. This year, Lam became a Rancho Santa Fe resident. “I decided that I wanted to put down roots in an area of Southern California that values community and family,” she said. “I can’t think of a more beautiful, community-oriented spot than Rancho Santa Fe. It is such a special place — simply idyllic, really — and it doesn’t hurt that my sister and her family reside here.” In April, Lam opened Rancho Santa Fe Orthodontics, a boutique orthodontic practice. “I opened Rancho Santa Fe Orthodontics in response to the frustration of busy parents having to drive their children for frequent orthodontic appointments every month,” she said. “I believe the community of Rancho Santa Fe, particularly with the growing number of large families, could really benefit by having an orthodontist conveniently located right in town.” Lam describes her business as “a small, patient-oriented office designed around excellent orthodontic care and convenience.” There are two assistants to help her with patients. “We are committed to providing specialized treatment in a personal and welcoming atmosphere,” she said. “Larger orthodontic practices often give off a feel of an assembly line. By keeping Rancho Santa Fe Orthodontics a small practice, we are able to do what we enjoy the most — really get-

Among the services offered are complimentary consultations, traditional metal braces, clear braces, Damon selfligating braces and Invisalign. Children should come in for a visit by the time they are 7 years old, Lam said. “I follow the American Association of Orthodontists recommendation that all children have a check-up by an orthodontist by the age of 7,” she said. “By this age, the first adult molars have erupted, establishing the back bite, and the front teeth are erupting. I can evaluate front-to-back and side-to-side tooth relationships and recognize an upper or lower jaw that is growing too much or not enough during this time. At this early age, orthodontic intervention may not be necessary, but I can carefully monitor growth and development and recommend treatment when it is ideal.” Rancho Santa Fe Orthodonics is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Lam added that she will see patients in the evenings and on weekends upon special request. The office is at 5951 La Sendita, Rancho Santa Fe.

RSF native spearheading drive to establish legal rights for cognitively complex animals Natalie Prosin heads Nonhuman Rights Project BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School graduate Natalie Prosin is leading a fight for the legal rights of animals. At age 29, Prosin is the executive director of the Nonhuman Rights Project, a non-profit organization with a goal to establish legal “personhood” for “nonhuman animals.” “Our mission is to change the common law status of at least some nonhuman animals from mere ‘things,’ which lack the capacity to possess any legal right, to ‘persons,’ who possess such fundamental rights as bodily integrity and bodily liberty,” Prosin said. Starting next year, the Nonhuman Rights Project group will file lawsuits in state courts to attempt to give personhood status for cognitively complex animals such as great apes, dolphins, whales, elephants and African Grey parrots. This kind of case has never been done or tried before, she said. “It will be very historic, regardless of whether we win or not,” Prosin said. “The challenge has been to find jurisdictions most amenable to our arguments. We have 60 different legal issues across all 50 states; it’s about finding which state high court is most likely to rule in our favor.” Their historic efforts have recently caught a lot of attention and their journey is currently a documentary film focus of Oscar-nominated filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. Prosin is a Rancho Santa Fe native, attending R. Roger Rowe School. Her family moved to Del Mar while she attended Torrey Pines where she was a part of the class of 2001. She graduated summa cum laude from Northeastern University in 2005, holds a master’s degree from Brown University and earned her law degree from Boston College Law School in 2011. She currently lives in Washington D.C. Prosin’s love of ani-
TPHS graduate Natalie Prosin is the executive director of the Nonhuman Rights Project. COURTESY mals started at a young age. She rode horses at the Rancho Santa Fe Riding Club and while in high school thought she might become a veterinarian. “In college and graduate school I started focusing more on animal issues and animal law,” Prosin said. Learning more about issues such as animals used in laboratories and endangered species really drove her decision to go to law school. In her first semester at Boston College, Prosin joined the national nonprofit Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) and helped establish a student group. Her group helped get out the vote on a state ballot initiative to ban all greyhound racing; the ballot initiative was successful. Prosin also helped initiate a cage-free egg campaign on campus dining halls, distributing literature about the inhumane practices of factory farms, such as their confined conditions and how egglaying hens must stand on a wire for their entire loves. “We persuaded all four Boston College cafeterias to switch to cage-free eggs,” Prosin said. At Boston, she also cotaught a course on environmental law and policy to undergraduates and put an animal rights twist into a lot of her curriculum. Prosin’s work did not go unnoticed by ALDF and they were able to connect her with the Nonhuman
Rights Project where she had an animal law clerkship while in college. The group hired her full-time as soon as she graduated in May 2011. “I was absolutely thrilled,” Prosin said. “I had worked with the president Steve Wise all throughout law school and really believed in what they were trying to do.” The Nonhuman Rights Project is still growing as an organization and runs with the help of about 70 volunteers. Prosin said animal cruelty laws can only go so far and that is why she hopes their efforts are successful. It is the hope that if they win their cases, these animals can be transferred to some kind of sanctuary. “I’m troubled by the exploitation of animals, whether it’s in the entertainment industry or the research lab,” Prosin said. “I’ve always been driven by protecting animals…I can lay down at night and feel very good about the work I’ve done for the day.” Prosin personally feels very strongly about advocating for animals and encourages people to stop and think because animals affect so many aspects of our lives. Prosin said animals are affected by decisions people make on food and entertainment, as well as purchases made on items that are tested on animals to things purchased that aren’t even about eating animals — Prosin cites the example of palm oil. The demand for palm oil, used in many commercial foods and personal care products, leads to the clearing of tropical forests, which destroys the habitats of endangered species such as the Sumatran Orangutan. “You can link almost anything we use to animals,” Prosin said. “It’s just about making better choices to help animals.” To learn more about Prosin’s efforts, visit nonhumanrightsproject.org

Biographer of ’60s guitarist will share his ‘experience’ BY PAT SHERMAN Steve Roby, acclaimed biographer, archivist and historian of the late guitar virtuoso, Jimi “Voodoo Child” Hendrix, will be in town for a discussion and book signing, 7 p.m. Oct. 13 at D. G. Wills Books in La Jolla. The author will discuss and sign his most recent book, “Hendrix on Hendrix: Interviews and Encounters with Jimi Hendrix,” which chronicles the psychedelic blues rocker’s brilliant but tragically brief career in his own words, as amassed from European and U.S. print and broadcast news interviews, as well as court transcripts of his trial for narcotics possession at Toronto International Airport. The book even includes a slice of San Diego counterculture journalism from May 1969, when Hendrix allowed San Diego Free Press scribe Jim Brodey to interview him backstage at the Sports Arena, where Hendrix performed with his three-piece band, the Experience. The interviews chronicle the height of the Seattle-born musician’s career, from his arrival in London in 1966 to his accidental death from asphyxiation on Sept. 18, 1970.

the artist in a “fragile state,” Roby said. “He was in state of flux, kind of a bit uncertain about his future,” Roby said, noting that the Experience had just broken up and that Hendrix was under pressure from executives at Reprise Records to release a followup to his third and final album, 1968’s “Electric Ladyland.” “One point he makes (during the interview) is that he wants to be known for not being just a guitar player or a singer,” Roby said. “He wanted to establish himself as a producer or getting into another form of music, like jazz. “Jimi wanted to expand the band, (and his) manager wanted it to continue to be a threepiece, because it had been a successful outfit selling records, and selling out concerts,” Roby said. “Jimi wanted to take it further and experiment with new sounds. He wanted to add horns and congas. He had been experimenting with people like Miles Davis and John McLaughlin. … His manager wasn’t going for it.” Through the course of the interviews collected for the book, Hendrix expounds on his

ting to know our patients and exceeding expectations, both in terms of service as well as in the quality of our treatment outcomes.” Orthodontic treatment is available for children and adults. Among the services offered are complimentary consultations, traditional metal braces, clear braces, Damon selfligating braces and Invisalign. Children should come in for a visit by the time they are 7 years old, Lam said. “I follow the American Association of Orthodontists recommendation that all children have a check-up by an orthodontist by the age of 7,” she said. “By this age, the first adult molars have erupted, establishing the back bite, and the front teeth are erupting. I can evaluate front-to-back and side-to-side tooth relationships and recognize an upper or lower jaw that is growing too much or not enough during this time. At this early age, orthodontic intervention may not be necessary, but I can carefully monitor growth and development and recommend treatment when it is ideal.” Rancho Santa Fe Orthodonics is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Lam added that she will see patients in the evenings and on weekends upon special request. The office is at 5951 La Sendita, Rancho Santa Fe.

A 25-year tradition helps wipe away drama of divorce BY ROB LEDONNE Divorce can be one of the most isolating, stressful processes a person can go through in their entire life. Along with the emotional toll from a dissolution of a marriage, there are a variety Elizabeth Bryan of important factors and decisions that need to be made, many of them difficult. Fortunately for North County residents, for the past 20 years there’s been a useful aide for those going through a divorce. It’s called Second Saturday Divorce Workshops, and so far it’s changed thousands of people’s lives in a positive and meaningful way. Elizabeth Bryan, a multi-talented writer who co-authored the popular book “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Count Your Blessings,” knows all too well about the rigors of divorce. “Throughout the my own journey, I was raising three boys and realized I was playing a sort of secondary role in my former marriage. When I got a divorce, I went overnight from having a nice lifestyle to becoming completely penniless.” Still picking up the pieces from what became a lengthy and costly process, she discovered Second Saturday and now is a featured speaker at every meeting. “I went to the first one and told my story, because I’m the kind of woman that you could go ‘What does she have to worry about it?’ That couldn’t be further from the truth. I open the event, and from the moment I start talking, people break down and start to cry; they are so raw, terrified and starving for information.” Unbiased information
Candace Bahr and Ginita Wall is exactly what people can expect, and lots of it thanks to a bevy of rotating attorneys, mediators and counselors. Each person speaks for about 60 minutes, followed by a question and answer session, and Bryan notes it’s all an “empowering process to learn about the different options you have.” So empowering that Second Saturday has been going strong since 1988 thanks to local residents Ginita Wall (CPA, CFP, CDFA) and Candace Bahr (CEA, CDFA), the founders of the event, as well as the organization that puts it together, dubbed WIFE (or Women’s Institute for Financial Education). Bahr, who currently runs a financial planning and investment management firm, explained the genesis of Second Saturday: “I was reading an article in the newspaper in 1988 that said women’s financial situations decrease dramatically after divorce. I thought we could make a significant difference in people’s lives, since this teaches people how to work effectively, and make a decision whether they even should be divorcing in the first place.” Bahr’s quick to point out that the price of the sixhour long workshop ($45) hasn’t increased since its launch, and that it’s all notfor-profit.
“After expenses, all of the proceeds go into the community for scholarships. Everyone is a volunteer at the program, no one is getting paid.” In addition, a second visit is $25 and participants can bring a friend for free. Second Saturday, which has separate workshops for women and men (both taking place on Mira Costa College’s San Elijo campus), attracts a wide variety of people, from multi-millionaires to people living out of their cars, all there for a single purpose. Sums up Bryan: “The tools you get are invaluable. We all have these feelings of fear, but there is hope.” The next Second Saturday takes place on Oct. 13. For more information, call Ginita Wall at (858) 7920524 or visit them on the web: www.SecondSaturday. com. Also visit www.wife. org.

‘Good People’ often find few alternatives in times of trouble BY DIANA SAENGER What makes someone a good person? That’s the question explored in “Good People,” by Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire, having its San Diego premiere at The Old Globe through Oct. 28. The play also examines the lengths some people go to just to survive in hard times, and the social and economic diversity that often divides a nation. When the curtain rises, we meet Margie Walsh (Eva Kaminsky), a single mother trying to raise a mentally handicapped daughter. Margie resorts to unusual solutions when seeking help. Actor Kaminsky had no problem getting into her persona. “Each time I work on a new character, I want to know what makes them tick … what’s under their skin,” Kaminsky said. “Margie lives in Boston, is a highschool dropout and has lost her job at the dollar store. She’s left with few alternatives and just wants to find a job to make enough money so she and her daughter can survive.” Although a diehard Boston “Southie,” Margie has no other family to rely

on, so she contacts her high school boyfriend Mike (R. Ward Duffy), who has left town and is doing fine as a doctor. “‘Good People’ tells two sides of a story incredibly well, and you usually don’t find that,” Kaminsky said. “It goes back and forth and humanizes everyone. You see both sides of Margie, and I love that she has good things and bad things about her.
“It’s really interesting to play a fully flushed-out character like this in a story that is very relevant to what a lot of people are going through today.” Paul Mullins directs “Good People.” Kaminsky said she finds him collaborative, and one of the funniest and smartest directors she’s worked with. “He’s really good at getting to what’s really happening in a scene, and with panache and joy,” she said. In addition to surviving by playing Bingo at the local church, Margie has talkfests to commiserate with her landlord Dottie (Robin Pearson Rose) and girlfriend Jean (Carol Halstead). But Margie often fails to take their advice. “Still, she’s a fighter, even when things don’t go as planned with Mike,” Kaminsky said. “There’s humor in this script, so much so I was constantly laughing in rehearsals. But there are also some dark things in the story, which is the best kind of the play for me.”

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 ofďŹ ce 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, beneďŹ ciary, 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 (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com, using the ďŹ le number assigned to this case 12-151011. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE
Rancho Santa Fe Review
Pacific Real Estate & Development, Inc. opening multiple offices in North County Brian Connelly and Greg Schwaderer, the founding partners of Pacific Real Estate & Development, Inc. (www. PacificRED.com), have navigated through the most difficult real estate and economic downturn since the Great Depression and have done this all the while gaining the respect of both their clients and their competitors. “It’s not enough to work smarter,” says Brian. “You now have NO choice but to work both smarter and harder than everyone else.” PacificRED has plans to open multiple offices in and around North County San Diego with the primary focus on the Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Santaluz sub-markets. “We want to remain a boutique operation with the focus on handling all of the supporting, non-productive tasks for the agents, allowing them to focus on the customer.” Connelly was born in San Diego and has lived in and around San Diego most of his life. Connelly currently resides in Rancho Santa Fe — with his wife and two sons — where he built his family home six years ago. Prior to that, Connelly has lived in La Jolla, Otay Ranch, Mission Hills (both North and South),
Brian Connelly and Greg Schwaderer Photo/Jon Clark
Rancho Bernardo, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Escondido, as well as Uptown and Downtown San Diego. As a result, Connelly’s clients are direct beneficiaries of this experience and wealth of knowledge of the San Diego Region. Connelly is very active in the community, serving on both the Rancho Santa Fe Little League and Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation boards. Greg Schwaderer was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Mich., and graduated from the University of Arizona. After college, he worked for Tommy Armour Golf Company and later for Tay-
lorMade-Adidas. His interest in architecture, sales and open houses led him to the real estate industry. After 10 years at Prudential California Realty, Schwaderer’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to partner with Brian Connelly and form Pacific Real Estate & Development, Inc. Schwaderer focuses on the communities of North San Diego County, as well as small development projects in Orange County. Outside of work, Schwaderer can be found on the golf course, tennis court, networking or running around with his black lab Seve. Connelly and Schwaderer are both extremely personal and share a “Client 1st” mentality. They live with the idea that doing the right thing all of the time is a distinct advantage they have over many of their competitors. They found common ground with both the transactional side of real estate as well as an internal desire to build high quality custom homes. Pacific Real Estate & Development, Inc. (www. PacificRED.com) was born from these guiding principles and interests. “We would like to thank our past and current clients, and we look forward to creating lasting relationships with those that we have yet to meet.”
