Family to appear on ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ Rancho Santa Fe’s Dan Meader creates Allowance Manager software to help kids in a variety of ways

The holidays are a special time of year, but they are also a time when busy people may become careless and individuals are especially vulnerable to theft and other crimes. Below are some holiday safety tips from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department: Out and about and at the mall: • Even though you are rushed and thinking about several things, stay alert to your surroundings and the people around you. • Close your windows and lock your car. Do not leave valuables and packages in plain view. Lock your packages in the trunk and drive to a different location to finish shopping. • Wait for public transportation or rides from friends in busy, well-lit areas. • Teach your children to go to a store clerk and ask for help if you become separated while shopping. • Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. When possible use a check or credit card to pay for purchases. • Notify issuers immediately if your credit card is lost, stolen, or misused in any way. • Be extra careful with purses and wallets. They may become targets for crime in crowded shopping areas, at bus stops, on buses and rapid transit. • Avoid overloading yourself with numerous packages. It is important to have and maintain clear visibility to avoid mishaps and not appear as an easy target.

BY KATHY DAY Dan and Kim Meader’s two boys are about to share a lesson with a national TV audience about how far giving a little bit of their allowance can go. Will, 11, and John, 12, and their parents are featured on the Dec. 10 edition of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the ABC show that focuses on a family with a special story and a cause that needs some sort of assistance. The Meaders became involved as a result of software that Dan designed to help parents and children manage their allowance, aptly named Allowance Manager.

County is scheduled to release RSF roundabout EIR on Dec. 10 BY KAREN BILLING San Diego County will issue its final environmental impact report on the proposed Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Highway roundabouts on Dec. 10. According to Ivan Holler, Rancho Santa Fe Association assistant manager, the release of the document will be accompanied by a 60-day public comment period, although based on the report’s content the Association could request an extension if necessary and historically the county has always granted that. Roundabouts have been studied for the intersections of the highway at Via de la Valle, El

Montevideo and El Camino Del Norte. The three proposed roundabouts, projected to cost $6 million, seek to improve the functioning of intersections on the highway and provide a reduction in vehicle emissions and cutthrough traffic. The Via de la Valle roundabout would involve the most change by re-aligning Las Colinas further south to intersect at a more 90-degree angle with Via de la Valle and would also create a cul-de-sac on La Fremontia (currently a loop street).

Buzz: Art Jury appointees, board election

One Paseo project reduces density, Trader Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s added

BY PRESIDENT ROXANA FOXX, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT After a great deal of Roxana Foxx recruiting effort, the Art Jury Nominating Committee has completed its task of identifying candidates to fill its two vacancies for 2013. Based on the recommendation of the committee and the Association board, the two members that are being appointed this year are Candace Humber and Linda Hahn. Candace has a BA degree in journalism from Sacramento and a BS degree in design from UC Davis. She is very familiar with the Art Jury process, having submitted plans for the construction of two homes during her 17 years as a Covenant member. I want to express a special thank you to Linda Hahn, a current member and president of the Art Jury, who has volunteered to continue serving. I have

BY KAREN BILLING Kilroy Realty is resubmitting its One Paseo plans to the city this week with 30 percent reduced density. Gone is the 10-story office building and the hotel has been scratched as well. Building heights have been reducedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the tallest is now an eight-story office building. The plan also adds more open space areas; of the 23acre site, 20 percent will be open space or plaza areas. The project is located at the corner of El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Rd. in Carmel Valley (across from the Del Mar Highlands Town Center). Steve Scott, senior vice president of Kilroy, said he believes that the revisions address the community and cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns about traffic, bulk and scale, as well as the effect on community character. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased with the progress and evolution of the project,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to secure Trader Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a tenant and residential interest is quite high, as are office tenants. With community support of the project and retail interest, the project is coming together nicely to be balanced and address everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.â&#x20AC;? The changes come in response to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft environmental impact report on the project, which went out in May. Since the pubic input period closed, Scott said Kilroy is responding to all of the public and staff comments by making these changes they hope will be well received. The project is now a total of 1.4 million square feet, down from 2 million, a reduction of 600,000 square feet and a reduction in the floor-area ratio. Lowered building heights are reflected in the 10-story building now becoming a six-story building, and all

worked with Linda during my time on the board and have found her to be thoughtful and fair. I would like to thank both Candace and Linda for giving of their time and expertise. ***** Speaking of nominations, December is when we begin the process of identifying candidates for the Association board. This year there will be three open seats as Anne Feighner, Eamon Callahan and I will be completing our terms on June 30, 2013. At our Dec. 6 meeting, the Association board will establish our 2013 Board Nominating Committee. It is hard for me to believe that my three-year term is coming to an end in six short months. My time on the board has truly been a tremendous experience, and I would strongly urge anyone who loves the community and wants to be a part of the process to consider serving. If interested, contact the Association office at 858-756-1174 and ask that your name be submitted to the Nominating Committee. *****

And finally, as part of my continuing effort to make members aware of services available in the community, I discovered a service last week that solves a problem that I believe many of us have had. Over the years there has been some difficulty scheduling package delivery in Rancho Santa Fe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either at our post office boxes or to our home addresses, as they may not appear on some of the merchantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; data bases. By filling out a form with the Post Office and using their street address, the Post Office will accept packages on your behalf from merchants as well as from UPS and FedEx and hold them for pick up. The name of the form, for which there is no additional charge, is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customer Agreement for PO Box Services,â&#x20AC;? which is available at the Post Office. On behalf of the entire Association board, I would like to wish everyone the happiest of holiday seasons and a prosperous New Year that is hopefully free from fiscal cliffs.

of the office and multi-family home heights along Del Mar Heights have also been reduced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve eliminated that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;walled-offâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; effect that some people were concerned about by reducing the heights there and increasing the setbacks,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. They eliminated one of the office buildings near the corner of High Bluff Drive and Del Mar Heights, replacing it with an open space area that will provide a view down to One Paseoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Street from the road. There will be direct pedestrian access to that plaza park area. Kilroy has also increased the setbacks all around the perimeter of the project, allowing for buildings to be set farther back from El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights, creating more outdoor areas and promoting more pedestrian walkability. By reducing retail by 10 percent and office facilities by 10 percent, Scott said that they have been able to reduce traffic trips by 10 percent. The Trader Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which will be located mid-Main Street, is looking to open in 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the 30,000-plus pieces of communication we sent out to the community over the last four-plus years, the number one comment we got back was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We want Trader Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, as part of this process, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing something to the community that they really want, in addition to more open space and places to gather. Trader Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is really excited, they love the market and the community.â&#x20AC;? In addition to Trader Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, One Paseo has secured Pinstripes as one of its tenants.

Reception offers sample of upcoming Kyoto Prize lectures BY PAT SHERMAN More than 50 people gathered at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library Nov. 28 to learn about three free lectures that will be offered next spring when this year’s Kyoto Prize recipients visit San Diego. (See page 30 for more photos.) One lecture will be offered at each of the following institutions: University of California San Diego, University of San Diego, and San Diego State University. The Kyoto Prize honors individuals who have contributed significantly to the scientific, cultural, and spiritual betterment of mankind. Japan’s non-profit Inamori Foundation presents the prize annually in the following categories: Advanced Technology, Basic Sciences, and Arts and Philosophy. It includes a cash gift worth about $625,000, making it Japan’s highest private award for international achievement. For more than a decade the laureates have visited San Diego to give presentations on their work. This year’s Laureates include computer scientist Ivan Sutherland, molecular cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi, and literary critic and educator Gayatri Spivak. During the reception, UCSD oceanographer and 1999 Kyoto Prize recipient Dr. Walter Munk, recalled attending the awards ceremony in 1999 and again last month. While there, he and his wife were invited aboard the Chikyu, a Japanese drilling vessel designed to bore seven kilometers beneath the ocean floor, and ultimately into the Earth’s mantle — a quest Munk was involved in five decades ago as part of Project Mohole. Though Munk and his crew never reached the mantle, his expedition invented technology that prevents a ship from drifting during such research, which is still used today by Chikyu researchers. San Diego State University entomologist and Vice President for Research Stephen Welter offered an overview of the Kyoto Prize recipients’ professional achievements. Dr. Oshumi, who won the prize in Basic Sciences, gave a talk titled “50 Years of Autophagy” (in which the body or cells self-digest to provide sustenance, as happens in dieting).

Dr. Holly Given, guest speaker Dr. Walter Munk. See page 30 for more photos. Photo/McKenzie Images “Autophagy is this process by which cells take portions that are either damaged or unnecessary, they recycle them, then move them along,” Welter said. “It’s important for cancer, for anti-aging — which I’m very fond of.” Welter said Oshumi’s talk moved from the technical to the esoteric, focusing on how students can succeed by taking the path less traveled. “If you do daring research, that’s where you make a difference,” he said. “In (Oshumi’s) case it turns out the daring path was yeast. Most of us think of yeast as things that make beer or bread, but the truth is that yeast is a very simple organism that allows us to do very elegant experiments.” Welter said he relishes the oft-used image of Indian theorist and philosopher Gayatri Spivak in a sari and combat boots, marching to a remote village to teach women how to educate impoverished populations. Prof. Spivak, who won the prize for Arts and Literature, was educated at the University of Calcutta and at Cornell. “She really is a philosopher, an intellect, a social critic and her topic is basically post-colonialism,” Welter said. “Her concern is that the Western world’s perspective ulti-

mately defines how we see India, or how we see other cultures, and that it’s very difficult to evaluate another group through the prism of our own eyes when we’ve had such a different experience. “It could have been left at just a criticism,” Welter said, “but she’s one of those people that’s taken criticism and turned it into action.” Computer graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland, who received the prize in Advanced Technology, is often referred to as the father of computer graphics. Sutherland later moved on from computer graphics to form companies and conduct research at Harvard, California Institute of Technology and elsewhere. Welter said Sutherland deemed computer graphics “no longer a worthy intellectual opponent. “I think that gives you some kind of insight into these kinds of people,” Welter said. “There’s a hunger in him you can see… People in his companies went on to form Adobe, Pixar. It’s like every river, there’s a source for that river. … Clearly people came to him. He nurtured them, he spun them off and they became tributaries.”

Local couple offers youth ‘tools to succeed’ in new book ‘From Ramen to Riches: Finding a Job in Your 20s’ on Amazon.com BY DIANE Y. WELCH More than half of America’s recent college graduates are either unemployed or working in a job that doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree, the Associated Press reported recently on data coll e c t e d from the Census B u r e a u ’s Current Population SurJames Wood vey and recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor. In response to these statistics, local husbandand-wife team Lauren Tanny and James Wood have co-written “From Ramen to Riches: Finding a Job in Your 20s” [The Tannywood Group, Oct. 2012], an informative book that guides the reader through the maze of

job searching while offering practical tips to get hired. “We saw these unemployment figures and realized that one of the m a j o r problems is that we are not rea l l y taught Lauren Tanny how to job search effectively,” said Lauren Tanny. “Jim and I decided that this was our contribution to helping the young people get back to work, although the book can be a useful guide for people at any age.” Tanny and Wood’s book is designed like a road-map that leads the reader through five major sections: “The Big Picture, Getting your Act Together, Getting out There, Making it Happen, and Once you Accept.” Within these sections the reader begins by creating a life vision and a career strategy. Self assessment is next and is a crucial step that is often overlooked, regardless of age,

said Tanny. “We all need to figure out ‘what am I really good at and is it really marketable?’” Then practical advice on resume writing lays the foundation for the job search. “With these three things done then you can go out there and start networking, informational interviewing and come up with a target company list,” Tanny explained. Tips on how to sustain the energy and momentum of job searching are included along with humorous anecdotes that illustrate the pitfalls to avoid when landing an interview. “In this section we also include valuable advice from human resources professionals and headhunters about what they are looking for,” said Tanny. The final section covers the negotiations of accepting a job and then how to succeed in those crucial first few months in the new position. Founder and CEO of the Tanny Group Inc., an executive coaching service, Tanny said that there are plenty of employers who are saying that they can’t

find enough qualified candidates for specific jobs, particularly at the entry level. “So there are jobs out there. And even if there isn’t an opening often if an employer meets someone who is on the ball and willing to work hard they can craft an internship that can then lead into a part-time job and then full-time,” said Tanny. The employment process works both ways, she added. Tanny, an MBA graduate from Stanford University, has had seven very radically different careers, all of which have been very useful in advising others about job searching, she said. Starting out in mergers, acquisitions and finance for insurance companies, Tanny then worked in wine marketing, followed by health care publishing. From there she became the chief marketing officer for a consumer software company, then ran a dotcom, and later was as an executive coach for Vistage, a local company that organizes executive leadership groups. This led to her own

executive consultancy service that she operates today. “I basically help people and companies grow,” Tanny explained. “That’s what gives me passion.” One of the biggest myths that job seekers face, no matter what the age, is that they think they can sit at home, apply on the internet for a job and get hired, Tanny remarked. “The truth is that this puts you in a reactive position and competing with everybody else out there. You basically have put yourself in with the sharks!” Rather, job seekers should engage in a proac-

tive search done the “old fashioned way”, by face to face networking. “And be clear about what you want so that people can better help,” Tanny advised. “Finding a Job in Your 20s” is the second book in what is now the “Ramen to Riches” series. Wood, with a passion for personal finance, wrote the series’ first book, “Building Wealth in Your 20s.” The couple’s collaboration on the second book was “delightful,” said Tanny who provided most of the content while Wood primarily wrote and edited the manuscript. “We really do see these books as our gift to help 20 somethings get by in the world and to not have to learn it the hard way. We’re giving them the tools to succeed, it doesn’t have to be as hard as it is feeling for people,” said Tanny. The book is now available both in hard copy and ebook from Amazon.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Former TPHS basketball stand-out shining on a national level BY ROB LEDONNE The village of Chestnut Hill, Mass., is a long way from Torrey Pines High School. This time of year it can get quite cold and blustery, the closest beach isn’t exactly known for its surf, and judging by its size and scope, the campus of its claim to fame, Boston College, is a far cry from the TPHS campus. None of that matters to Joe Rahon, however, a basketball star at Torrey Pines who graduated in June and is in the midst of his freshman year playing for BC’s famed Eagles basketball team. The Eagles have churned out NBA stars such as the Phoenix Sun’s Jared Dudley and the Boston Celtic’s Sean Williams, something that’s not lost on Rahon. “The difference between playing basketball for high school and college is intensity of practice,” he explains from the BC campus while waiting for the team’s daily weight training session to begin. “In high school, you can coast through practice because you’re the best player on your team. In college, everyone on your team is on your level, so the coaches expect you to play really hard. Practically everyone is trying to take your spot and fighting for time on the court.” The road to playing college level basketball, especially for a team as esteemed as BC, can be long and hard. Rahon, who grew up minutes away from the Torrey Pines campus, caught the basketball bug from his brother, James. “I’ve been playing since I can remember, whether it was just shooting outside with my brother or dad, or at recess at school,” he remembers. “It wasn’t until my brother was going to play basketball at San Diego State that it hit me it was something I could do too.” Throughout his time playing for Torrey Pines, his brother was there to give him the pointers, tips and insight that he picked up at SDSU, and it’s that guidance which probably made Rahon a standout during his successful high school career. Says Rahon: “My four years there, we never lost a home playoff game and were always in the CIF finals.” While he notes that “it was as good of an experience as I could have hoped for,” the exception is that during his sophomore year he tore his ACL and was out for a full season, watching from the sidelines and waiting to heal. When he finally got back on the court, Rahon was a force to be reckoned with and sooner rather than later colleges started to take notice. “They were on a recruiting trip for another player, and gave me a call to say they were interested,” he explains. “The process started from there.” What followed was a two-year stretch of wooing by BC. Said Rahon: “They would call once a week or so and just talk about the college and how their team is doing. They were coming to watch me play whenever they could and I’d send them tapes, but really the whole process is about building a relationship with each other and getting comfortable.” At the same time that Rahon was racking up more attention and accolades (including being voted one of the top 30 high school basketball prospects in all of California by CaliHighSports.com), other schools were vying for him as well. “I went on recruiting trips to my final five schools and chose BC simply because I liked it here the best,” he explains of his decision, something his parents agreed with. “They were there every step of the way. At one point, coaches from each school came to visit us at our house, so they were very

Joe Rahon Photo courtesy Boston College involved and liked BC too, which is surprising because it’s the farthest away from home.” On Graduation Day, June 17, Rahon said goodbye to Torrey Pines for good, and only had a week off before he had to report to Boston for summer school. “All the guys had to take two classes, and we’d lift with the strength coach to get acclimated with the system and the campus.” Rahon came back home to visit for two weeks, and then it was off to Spain for a round of practice games and some team bonding. “For my first college-level games, we played against four professional Spanish teams. I obviously felt a few nerves, but as soon as I ran up and down the court I realized it was nothing to be nervous about since this was something I’ve played my whole life.” Now that the season’s begun, Rahon is focusing on balancing traveling, playing, and schoolwork. “I think the key is to get as much sleep as possible to help your body recover. It’s grueling,” he explains, citing a recent game played in South Carolina, immediately after which he flew back to Boston late that night, went to class the next morning, and played again that day. The beginning of the season has gotten off to a moderately slow start, with the school winning and losing its fair share, but it’s nothing Rahon says they can’t make up. Meanwhile, Rahon has quickly turned into a standout player. According to BC Teammate Ryan Anderson: “The fact that both he and (fellow guard) Olivier Hanlan have made an immediate impact as freshman is amazing. It just shows how prepared they were coming into this season. They worked hard and got the job done in the preseason and that is paying off for them now.” Throughout his time at BC, he always keeps in mind his Torrey Pines experience. “There wasn’t a high school I’d rather play for,” Rahon explains. “TP’s Coach Olive is one of the best high school coaches around; he prepared me for how college is going to be and how practice is like.” With that, he went to begin his training session to prepare for another slate of upcoming games, including a win at Penn State the next day.

“The West in Prose, Poetry and Photography” is on exhibit at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, 1740 Avenida De Acacia, Rancho Santa Fe, open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Alison Harding, a Montana native, explores the contemporary west through her artwork of images and text in her first presentation of her body of work. She captures the snow storm of Eastern Montana through her atmospheric photography and evokes the blurring of the landscape in her poetry “when the land fused to the sky.” She continues her quest of understanding the western culture when she wrote of the barn where “shovels hung as heroes.” To her, the large animals, bison and moose were as magnificent as the land and their portrayal can be viewed in her photographs. Harding, a member of the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild, is currently the featured artist where her exhibit of paintings, photography and prose is through December. The Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild is a nonprofit organization located at 6004 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, next door to the Union Bank. For more information, call 858-759-3545.

Thank you for the new playground! Thank you to all who worked together to give the Rancho Santa Fe Association its first playground! Thank you especially to: •Heather Slosar, who picked up the playground banner over a year ago, and worked tirelessly, and with amazing love and devotion, to bring the community together and to make this decades-long dream a reality. •The Rancho Santa Fe Association board members, including the current board members and especially the 2011-2012 board members, Pete Smith, and the Association Committee members for their vision, dedication, time and hard work. •The Rancho Santa Fe Outdoors Club for building the playground. •Linda Leong and all others who supported the recent efforts and/or worked hard through the years to bring a playground to the Association. We finally have a place for children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and their families to come together! A place where neighbors can meet new neighbors or get together with old friends. A place to build memories. A place for children to learn and play outdoors. A playground to call our own. We hope you’ll join us on the playground and in thanking all who have given us such an extraordinary gift!

Wisdom from one of our nation’s most accomplished forefathers “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest,” pronounced Benjamin Franklin, one of our nation’s most accomplished forefathers. Franklin understood that placing a significant emphasis on education is what allows us to better ourselves as individuals and as a society. We are fortunate to reside in a town that has outstanding public schools. In large part, the quality of the educational experience that the children receive in our community is dependent upon support from individuals, families and corporate partners that are located in our neighborhood. Public education has changed dramatically in recent years. We have seen significant cuts in education funding from the state and notable reductions in property tax revenues. It is up to us, as a community, to rise to the occasion and provide financial support to our schools if we want to ensure that the children in Rancho Santa Fe continue to receive a world class education. I am proud to serve this year as Chair of the Board of Trustees of the RSF Education Foundation. As an organization, our primary objective is to raise monies to help fund the Five-Star Education program that children receive at the R. Roger Rowe School. We have made a commitment this year to grant $1 million to our school, which represents approximately 11 percent of its $9.1 million annual budget. We express our sincere gratitude to those people and businesses in our community that have already supported our campaign. Although we have made significant progress towards meeting our objective, we still need to collect an additional $265,000 this school year before we can rest comfortably knowing that we have fully funded our commitment and that all planned school programs will remain in place. There is clear evidence that the academic standing of a school positively influences residential real estate values in its community. For this and other reasons, the strength of our schools is critically important to every homeowner who lives in Rancho Santa Fe. As we take time to reflect during this holiday season of giving, I appeal to everyone in our community to consider supporting our school by making a fully tax deductible charitable contribution, in any amount, to the RSF Education Foundation. Whether or not you have a child or grandchild that attends our school, we all have an interest in making sure that we are able to maintain, and ideally improve, our quality of education. As a society, children represent our future. We each have an opportunity today to help improve a child’s educational experience so that they are better prepared for tomorrow. I encourage you to follow Benjamin Franklin’s sage advice by “investing” in our children as well as Rancho Santa Fe by contributing to the RSF Education Foundation. Thank you, in advance, for your generous support. On behalf of everyone associated with our school and community, we greatly appreciate it. I wish you and your family a joyous and healthy new year. Glenn A. Oratz, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the RSF Education Foundation To make a fully tax deductible charitable contribution to the RSF Education Foundation, please do so online at rsfef.org or send a check payable to “RSF Education Foundation” to P.O. Box 809, RSF, CA 92067.

Sara Stablein joins The Bridges at RSF as Tennis Director Sara Stablein, named 2011 Southwestern Pro of the Year by the U.S. Professional Tennis Association (USPTA), has joined The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe as its new Tennis Director. Stablein will oversee instruction and programming at The Bridges’ $5 Sara Stablein million Tennis & Recreation Centre, a 5-acre facility serving club members and their children and grandchildren. “Sara is not only an accomplished competitor but she has proven herself as an effective and innovative club director,” said The Bridges General Manager Sean McCune, who noted that Stablein spent the last nine years of her career rising through the ranks at the Phoenix Country Club. Most recently Stablein served as the club’s Tennis Director, as well as Tournament Director of the Goldwater Women’s Tennis Classic Pro Circuit event. Stablein’s competitive achievements include her 2011 ranking as USPTA International Women’s Open Double Champion and co-ranking as the #1 Women’s Doubles Player of the Year. She is a graduate of the University of New Mexico with a degree in Exercise Science. The Bridges’ Tennis & Recreation Cen-

tre includes five lighted courts, including a “center court” with stadium seating for exhibition play. The Tuscan-style building features a series of indoor-outdoor rooms, patios, and arcades, and a restaurant providing full meal service 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. The family-friendly complex also includes a separate sand bocce court as well as full-court basketball, volleyball, and outdoor handball. A large grass park and full playground facilities provide additional space for unstructured play, and a contiguous fenced dog park offers grass, fresh water and seating. These diverse elements for both passive and active recreation help promote a true sense of community for Bridges club members. The Bridges Club was recently ranked as the best in San Diego and the 15th among top golf venues in California by Golf Digest. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the 6,965-yard championship course has hosted such prestigious events as The Battle of the Bridges since opening in 1999. The golf club — which includes privileges at the Tennis & Recreation Centre and the Sports Centre — is currently accepting new membership applications.

Solana Santa Fe History Trip

Wreaths Across America Day to honor veterans at Miramar National Cemetery

After learning about ancient civilizations during their Social Studies lessons, sixth-grade students at Solana Santa Fe School took part in an in-school field trip facilitated by Tustin-based California Weekly Explorer. Through storytelling, games, and drama, students discovered Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome through an imaginary tour of the civilizations. Students portrayed people of the past such as Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, and Socrates. Photos courtesy of Stacey Phillips

On Saturday, Dec. 15, at 9 a.m. community members will gather to honor veterans during the holiday season as part of the annual Wreaths Across America Day. Jack Harkins, USMC Retired, will conduct the WAA ceremony at Miramar National Cemetery. Seven ceremonial wreaths will be placed to remember all soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who served, honor their sacrifices, and teach our younger generations about the high cost of our freedoms. Specially designated wreaths for the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, and POW/ MIA will be placed on memorials during a ceremony that will be coordinated simultaneously at over 750 participating locations across the country. About 1,500 wreaths are slated for delivery to Miramar National Cemetery. Sponsorships received after Nov. 26 will be applied to 2013 events. In 2012, it is projected that over 400,000 wreaths will be placed nationwide, by over 150,000 volunteers as part of the Wreaths Across America mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach. The Wreaths Across America story began over 20 years ago when the Worcester Wreath Company from Harrington, Maine initiated a tradition of donating and placing wreaths on the headstones of our Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery. Recognition of the service and sacrifice of our veterans, and their families, is especially poignant during the traditional holiday season. Worcester Wreath Company continues to be a major supporter of the project, donating over 30,000 total wreaths in 2011. Over 400,000 wreaths will be sponsored by individuals, businesses, and groups from communities nationwide. Wreaths will be placed in all 50 states from Maine to Alaska and Hawaii, and at 24 national cemeteries on foreign soil. If you would like to sponsor a wreath, or would like more information about events planned for your community, please email Bettybob Williams at thebbob2000@aol. com for more information.

Bishop’s School pours out 23rd Christmas Tea BY ASHLEY MACKIN The Bishop’s School hosted its 23rd annual Christmas Tea on Nov. 29. This year’s theme was “Joy to the World,” and featured the school’s choir and a living nativity, along with tea and food at the school’s Ellen Browning Scripps Hall. As parents, teachers, community members and students mingled, finger foods and tea was served. Then a performance from the school’s choir and a prayer led by Reverend Brian Fidler entertained the standing-room only audience. In accordance with the theme, Principal Aimeclaire Roche opened the ceremony with a reading of the lyrics to “Joy to the World” and thanked her fellow organizers, Cassandra Wong and Susan Zau. Roche then introduced the choir who sang Christmas songs as a living nativity walked through the hall and stood in front of the choir. “The theme ‘ Joy to the World’ and the Tea itself is a great community moment,” Roche said. “It reminds me, particularly at a time when we face unrest in geo-political circles, that all peoples and nations – and in turn, their peace and prosperity – are interdependent. There is no better time than Christmas to remind ourselves how precious joy is, and to work with all our talents for more joy in our communities and more peace in the world.” PHOTOS/ASHLEY MACKIN

MAKEOVER continued from page 1 One of them, InPlace, provides 360-degree virtual tours for real estate and travel sites. With all of that background, it was a trip to Costco that set him on the newest venture. “The boys and I sort of collectively had a light bulb moment,” he said, noting that outings to Costco are a family affair. Kim heads for the food side of the store; he checks out the sporting goods and technology side, and the boys go to the middle where they pour over books and DVDs. One day, when they reconvened the boys – as usual, he laughed – had something in their hands. When they asked if he would buy them a video game, he replied that they already had a lot of them. “Then they asked me, ‘Can we buy it ourselves with our allowance?’” he said. But he couldn’t remember how much they had or were due, he added, because he didn’t pay them regularly. When he asked them if they remembered, John said, “I think you owe us each $90.” Dan challenged him

and got the answer: Three months earlier he had said he would give them a dollar a day so he owed them each $90. “You get an A+ for math, but didn’t you buy something last week?” was his reply. And, maybe, just maybe, their mom had deducted from their take when they didn’t clean up after themselves or for some other transgression. At that point, he said, the boys suggested I write a program for us that would track deposits and take it out when they buy something or add it when they got money from their Aunt Julie. So he “dashed off the basic functionality,” and the kids said it worked. “Will ran back to his bedroom and grabbed the money he had,” Dan said. “He thrust it into my hand and said put it in Allowance Manager.” The website, allowancemanager.com, features an allowance tracker and chore charts. It’s not a bank but, according to the site, is “designed to allow parents to reward good behavior, discourage misbehavior, track chores, and enter miscellaneous allowance entries that are otherwise difficult to remember.” The charts help monitor what’s

been done or not. Only parents can add or delete information. The children get logins so they can see what where they stand. It worked so well at “deflecting the emotional stuff” that goes with giving children an allowance and keeping track of it, that “the nonsense went away,” Meader said. Although he “polished it up and put it up to the outside world,” he said he didn’t plan to make a business out of it. Early on, he did some early marketing through Google AdWords. Today Allowance Manager has more than 100,000 users. “It’s just being adopted through the App Store and Google searches,” he said. That’s the story of Allowance Manager; to get to Extreme Makeover takes another chapter. “There are only two things to do with our money – retain it or relinquish it,” he said. In other words, save and invest or spend and donate – all things that can be tracked through the software. “We thought, wouldn’t it be cool if we could take the users and encourage them to make contributions to a collective gift and do some good.”

JUST IN!!

So they pitched the idea to the producers of Extreme Makeover, but it didn’t take hold until they had a story where there was a fit. They came across the Friday family and their five children who had cared for dozens of foster children through the years. Recently, a young boy named Chris came to stay with them, bringing a DVD of his four siblings. Meader said Chris told the Fridays he showed it at every home where he stayed “with the off chance that if I get adopted you would consider adopting all of us.” The Fridays¸ who ran a storefront consignment store, primarily for the benefit of their Lincolnton, N.C. community, did just that. “Their family went from five to 10 overnight,” he added. To accommodate the new family members in their very small house they had to turn the garage into a bunkhouse. The idea of children giving to children seemed to fit in with the producers’ concept, so they invited the Meaders to join them and worked out the details. One of the newly adopted children had attended the Crossnore School, a 100-year-old boarding

school about an hour from the Friday’s hometown. Originally for impoverished children of the surrounding mountain communities, it is now is home to a K-12 charter school for children in need. With donations from Allowance Manager users through the company’s 501(c)3 divisions, the Meaders were able to purchase roller duffels for 102 foster children who reside at Crossnore and packed them with towels and blankets embroidered with their names, MP3 players and video campers and “other things that appeal to kids who live that life,” Meader said. For the Rancho Santa Fe family, who spent a week with the Fridays and the production crew, it was an “amazing experience.” The boys got a lasting lesson that they share with viewers, the Friday family got a new home and 102 children got their own security blankets.

ROUNDABOUT continued from page 1 Church would also lose a significant portion of its parking lot. El Montevideo would be the only four-way roundabout while the other two would be three-way. The roundabouts will be 102-110 feet in diameter with a 16-foot lane and a 12to 15foot-wide mountable apron for trucks with long trailers to circle through. Each roundabout will also have a 48- to 54foot landscaped center. At the roundabouts, there will be a push button-activated crossing light that is accessible at two heights for both a pedestrian and a mounted equestrian. “The Association staff, once it’s received and reviewed the EIR, will schedule a meeting with the RSF Association board to review it and send notice to the members,” Holler said, anticipating that meeting will likely be in February. Copies of the EIR will be available on the county’s website and a hard copy is typically made available at the Rancho Santa Fe Library.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

The classical education method thriving at The Cambridge School •Open House events to be held Dec. 14 and Jan. 18

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING In 2006, Jeanne Kim started The Cambridge School with just nine students. Her vision was a school that was both Christian and academically rigorous, using the proven methods of a classical education. In the years that followed, Cambridge, located just off SR-56 on Black Mountain Road, has grown to include 150 students in grades kindergarten prep through seventh grade, drawing in people from all over the region. “The growth has been amazing,” said Jeffrey Yoder, director of advancement, noting they have added a grade every year and aim to offer kindergarten prep through 12th grade in the future, likely outgrowing their small but cozy campus. What has made Cambridge successful is also what makes it unique in San Diego: the classical education. The classical education method originated in Greece and Rome, educating great minds such as Plato, Aristotle and William Shakespeare, and remaining the norm until the 1850s. The method employs the principles of the Trivium, broken up into grammar; knowledge of basic facts; logic; organizing and analyzing relationships concerning those facts; and rhetoric, communicating those conclusions in a clear, persuasive and winsome manner. Students are typically working in grammar up to sixth grade, continue to the logic stage through early high school, and wrap up their high school education in the rhetoric stage. “Students are given the building blocks of education,” Yoder said. “They’re teaching children how to learn, not just what to learn.” “Cambridge really sets themselves apart,” said Mitchell Dong, marketing and communications coordinator. “The term ‘classical education’ can be thrown around a bit but going to the depth we’re going here, we haven’t seen it anywhere…By equipping these kids to think well, and to pro-

cess and communicate concisely and persuasively, you’re equipping them to be not just students but be good thinkers and humans outside of school.” At Cambridge, every subject is integrated. As a class takes on Bible studies, they are learning about the history and the science of that time. For example, in studying Egypt they will mummify a chicken and create a pulley system using the physics of the time. “With integration, everything is connected and clicks,” Dong said. “There’s an excitement about learning that you can feel in the air.” Starting in kindergarten, the students learn Latin and Mandarin. They learn Singapore Math, a method of teaching that builds conceptual understanding of math instead of memorization of rules. Children have music and art every

day, and every Friday the students present songs and recite “memory work” of what they are learning in front of the rest of the school. The school also offers after-school enrichment in choir, fencing, math club and has just started to flush out its athletic program as its student population has become older. The school now has cross country and basketball teams. What the children are learning is impressive: Fourth graders are reading the original text of “Beowulf.” “You think it would be too much and they would be taxed by it, but the wonderment comes first and then it makes the work less onerous because they’re so excited by it,” Yoder said. Yoder, new to the school since July, has noticed an excitement in his second and fourth grade children. At Thanksgiving, a second grade student addressed a room of adults and said a table blessing in Latin, completely unintimidated because performance is such a normal part of the student’s school day. When students arrive every morning, Kim or another staff member is there to greet them. The students shake hands and say “Good morning” as they pass through the door. “These are common courtesies that the modern era thinks are assumed,” Yoder said. “We forget that it needs to be taught to them. We teach it to them: Saying hello, shaking hands, boys open the doors for ladies. We’re trying to hold onto those traditions and bring them back.” To allow prospective parents to learn more about the school, Cambridge will host Open House events on Dec. 14 and Jan. 18. Open House visits are held during the school day. An “Info Night” is also scheduled for Jan. 24, with presentations from a parent, student, teacher and the head of school. To make a reservation or for more information on the school, visit www.cambridgeclassical.org.

Athenaeum Jazz at the Studio Matt Wilson's Christmas Tree-O Friday, December 7, 8:00pm NYC-based drummer Matt Wilson, joined by multireedist Jeff Lederer and bassist Paul Sikivie, returns in the lead of a stellar mainstream jazz trio that takes a swinging, high-spirited, and often humorous perspective on the beloved yet sometimes well-worn standards of the holiday season. Of his Christmas Tree-O, JazzTimes commented, "Wilson has a great sense of humor and invests even the most serious challenging music with a certain mischievous glee. This trio powers its way through tunes traditional ('Hark the Herald Angels Sing') and contemporary ('You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch'). This is, in short, serious fun and possibly the most creative holiday jazz album to come out this year."

Guests dine on the patio at Cafe Secret.

Psst, Have you heard? There’s something special about Cafe Secret BY KELLEY CARLSON t’s clear that Cafe Secret is becoming pretty well-known around the county. One of the most obvious indicators is that the Peruvian eatery is beginning to appear on “Best of” lists chosen by publications’ readers, particularly for its fresh and flavorful ceviches. And it’s also not unusual to find a packed patio (especially weekends) consisting of customers unwinding with cups of coffee while poring over the cafe’s magazines. Under red umbrellas and trellises of bougainvilleas and other foliage, they listen to the rhythms of world music and the bubbling fountain, and admire colorful textiles and scenic photographs of Peru and Del Mar that adorn the walls. Dogs, big and small, curl up next to their owners, and everyone seems as if they’re right at home. At night, the atmosphere of the streetside cafe shifts to romantic. The patio glows from candlelight and tall, triangular-shaped heaters, and the server’ attire is more refined … yet still relaxed. “We want everyone to feel as if they’re coming to dinner at our place,” said Daniella Basagoitia, who co-owns Cafe Secret with her husband, Bratzo. The Peruvian natives bring their sense of home to their menu, creating dishes from childhood recipes. Nearly everything is made from scratch, including the salsas and dressings, and they’re concocted from

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Cafe Secret’s Causa ingredients that people find familiar, despite the ethnic influences, Basagoitia said. Organic items are used whenever possible, and fresh seafood is brought in daily. Cafe Secret serves breakfast, lunch and dinner — from simple starters to filling entrees. For a light morning treat, guests may sip on a foamy cup of cappuccino and nibble on an Alfajor, a small, soft and delicate shortbread cookie filled with dulce de leche and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Other popular beverages during the first part of the day include mimosas and the orange juice, which is freshly squeezed by a Zummo machine before customers’ eyes. The restaurant’s newest breakfast item is the Benedicto, a variation of a traditional Eggs Benedict. It’s made with crunchy ciabatta, avocado, poached eggs, bacon and Huancaina sauce, a mixture of queso fresco

Stirring together ingredients for freshmade ceviche. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON and Peruvian yellow peppers. At lunchtime, offerings include the Quinoa Salad and Empanadas — pastry turnovers stuffed with savory ingredients like ground sirloin, onions and peppers; pulled roasted chicken and creamy aji sauce; and Swiss chard, spinach and queso fresco. Of course, there are also the ceviches, such as the Kin Lui, named for one of the chefs. The Kin Lui version contains either halibut or sea bass, depending on the season; octopus; avocado; hearts of palm

with lime juice; aji and rocoto (chili peppers); cilantro; sliced onion; choclo (Peruvian giant corn); yams; and conchita (Peruvian scallops). On the dinner menu, patrons will find selections including the Lomito Saltado, a stirfry featuring filet mignon, tomatoes, red onions, aji, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and yucas (rain forest roots) that is served with rice. To accompany the food selections, options include two Peruvian lager beers and a selection of wines from South America, Spain and California, along with a homemade sangria made with chicha, a Peruvian fruit punch. Among the handful of desserts available to cap off a meal are Tres Leches, a light cake soaked in sweet milks that is topped with strawberries and mint. Although everyone can order individual portions, Basagoitia recommends the familystyle approach to get a taste of as many of the 40 items as possible. “For being such a small cafe, we have everything,” she said. The restaurant also provides office deliveries in Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Solana Beach, and supplies breakfast to guests at the neighboring Secret Garden Inn. With so many people becoming loyal customers, the Basagoitias know many of them by name. But even as Cafe Secret’s following grows, it’s still an intimate enclave. “It’s a little, secret place,” Daniella Basagoitia said. “For me, it’s very magical.”

Local woman looking to grow her Moms Making Six Figures team • Company allows women to work from home while supplementing or replacing their income BY CLAIRE HARLIN Barbara Ryan is a former trauma surgeon who wants to spend more time with her husband when he’s home from deployment. Cindy Posa used to own a child care business but closed it after the economy plummeted. Angie Gange is a former Carmel Valley mortgage broker who wants to send her three teenage sons to college. Michelle Martin is a former information technology executive who quit her job to spend time with her five children. These women come from all walks of life, however, they have one thing in common — Moms Making Six Figures, a company started by local resident Heidi Bartolotta to allow women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income. And yes, they really do make six figures, she said. For whatever reason, there are many women — and especially mothers — who were effected by the economic hit the country recently took, and the effects are still being felt, she said. “We’re still losing jobs left and right,” said Bartolotta. “Families are still living with repercussions of pay cuts or debt that happened years ago … Or there are the women who may be back in the work force but have spent the past few years with their family at home and don’t want to be

Moms Making Six Figures team members. back in the office.” Bartolotta said her team of about 40 is comprised of women from very different education levels and backgrounds, as well as different personalities and work styles. “We are across the board,” she said. “We are so different but have a team that is good at helping women accomplish their goals.” Moms Making Six Figures is not just in San Diego, and she said there is the opportunity to take the business to other cities in the case that a team member must move. She said this has been a solution for military wives who are forced to move often and find it hard to have steady income. “This is a company you can take with you,” she said. “You would never have to start all over again. I think a lot of time that’s the reason military wives don’t work even though, financially, they need to.” For Bartolotta, Moms Making Six Figures was the solution to her desire to spend more time at home. She had been working in the pharmaceutical industry for years before realizing her career path was not going to give her everything she wanted, so she took the plunge by quitting her job to embark on Moms Making Six Figures. “I wanted my kids to be my priority,” she said, “not my job.” Bartolotta said she’s looking to grow her team, and interested women can contact her at heidi@momsmakingsixfigures.com or (858) 837-1505.

De-Evolution CCA robotics team takes another championship BY NIC STONE, DE-EVOLUTION TEAM CAPTAIN AND CCA SENIOR Canyon Crest Academy’s De-Evolution robotics team was named champion at the season’s second qualifying tournament held at High Tech High in Point Loma on Dec. 1. This win extended the season’s undefeated streak for DeEvolution to 20 matches. Along with the tournament victory, De-Evolution was also named the winner of the Think Award which recognizes a team’s design and build process as recorded in the team’s engineering journal. De-Evolution also received nominations for the PTC Design Award and the Rockwell Collins Innovate Award, both of which celebrate a robot’s unique design, elegance and creativity. They were also one of three teams to be nominated for the coveted “judges choice” Inspire award. De-Evolution played seven matches to qualify for the semi-finals and finals. Officials say one score – 360 to zero – may have set a world record of high scoring for this season. Other scores for De-Evolution matches were 250-0, 155-0, 75-0, 60-50, 242-0, and 155-0.

RSF Senior Scene: ‘How to Stay Safe on the Road’ BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Taking Charge: How to Stay Safe on the Road Driver safety is an important and often sensitive issue for seniors. The changes of normal aging can sometimes interfere with the ability to drive. Because everyone ages differently, some individuals can continue to drive safely into their eighties and beyond while others cannot or should not. Although older adults are at a higher risk for accidents than other age groups and are more likely to be seriously injured than younger drivers, they actually have lower rates of fatal crashes than teenage drivers. They are more likely to obey speed limits, wear safety belts, refrain from driving while under the influence Terrie Litwin of alcohol, and take fewer risks than other groups. Their adherence to traffic laws and rules of the road supports the contention that when older drivers have an accident, they are more likely to injure themselves than others. Also, license renewals drop for drivers in their 80s even as this age group expands, suggesting that many seniors recognize their diminished driving skills and choose alternate means of transportation. Some, rather than giving up driving completely, choose familiar, less challenging routes, avoid freeway driving, driving at night and other aspects of driving that could cause anxiety or accidents. On Friday, Dec. 7, at 2 p.m., Public Affairs Officer James Gaffney, with the California Highway Patrol, will present “Taking Charge: How to Stay Safe on the Road.” Please join us at the Senior Center for this important presentation. Aging in Place and Universal Design Concepts Universal design is a design approach which helps individuals live safely and comfortably in their homes regardless of age, mobility, or physical stature. Although once thought to decrease a home’s appeal, universal design features can actually enhance the living spaces and increase the value of a home. Many innovative and attractive products can be used to enhance décor as well as provide improved livability. With one in every four individuals in the United States over 50 years of age, and individuals 85 years old and older the fastest growing segment of the population, incorporating the principles of universal design is more important than ever. Please join us at the Senior Center on Wednesday, Dec. 12, at 2 p.m. for a presentation by Beppie Mostert, Certified Aging in Place Specialist and owner of Living Design Interiors. Topics that will be discussed include: What it means to “age in place”, the benefits of universal design concepts, examples of universal design remodels, and options and next steps to create a senior friendly environment. Clarifying Your Philanthropic Vision When you have causes that are important to you, it is vital to know that you are giving in the most effective ways possible. Join us at the Senior Center on Friday, Dec. 14, at 2 p.m. to learn how you can get the most out of giving to others. Topics to be discussed include: philanthropic intent, tax benefits of charitable giving, types of charitable gifts, outright gifts, donor advised funds vs. private family foundations, charitable remainder trusts, zero estate tax plan, and wealth replacement trusts. Presenters include Brad Benter, first vice president with the Pacific Point Group at UBS Financial Services and Lisa Snyder, director, UBS Financial Services.

Local kids get an early start in robotics at Robolink BY CLAIRE HARLIN According to Chang Hong, imagineers are going to be the leaders of the future. “Imagineer is a compound word of ‘imagine’ and ‘engineer,’” said Hong, founder of Robolink, which provides classes for local kids in robotics. “I think Steve Jobs is one good representation of an imagineer.” Hong, of Carmel Val-

ley, came from Seoul, Korea to the United States with experience as a telecom device company CEO, but his passion project is Robolink, an “edutainment” — that’s “education” and “entertainment,” he said — company that has been largely successful with six offices in Korea. Believing that robotics is crucial in the futures of kids growing up in this era of technology, he brought the company to San Diego, starting an office in Sorrento Valley earlier this year. Hansol Hong, Chang’s son, manages the family business, which serves elementary and middle school kids through a 12-week course. The Hongs hope to begin teaching high school courses next year, just as the Robolink facilities do in Korea. “Korea and America are very different, so they have different ways of teaching. Here, we are trying to start younger and build up to more advanced,” said Hansol Hong. “In America, more creative skill sets are taught, such as coming up

with solutions, while in Korea kids learn more problem solving at a young age and the goal is more efficiencybased, making things faster and stronger.” Kids get a taste of creativity and problem solving at Robolink. They work in teams to build intricate robots that actually perform tasks and functions, and the assignments get harder and more complex as the kids progress through the 12week course. Classes are held weekly, however, four instructors rotate throughout the course. A beginner assignment, for example, is a line follower car that actually moved along a path. One of the more complex robots is a simple version of a robotic surgery arm, which mirrors the robotics technology that is actually popping up in the field of healthcare. “Kids can actually see how surgeons are controlling the robot,” said Hansol. “They control one arm and the robotic arm mimics the human motions.” Chang said one of the major reasons he started Ro-

bolink is to supplement the standard educational system with a skill that will be a huge part of the future — as in, robots may very well be the next computers or smartphones. He also said a huge mission of Robolink is to help kids relieve their stresses from other studies. “Students are enjoying the education,” he said. “That’s the charm of the robotics education and that’s why I started the business.” He chose San Diego as the launch city for the business because it’s very science and engineering oriented. He said this area is of particular interest because there are a lot tech professionals living there and

working for Qualcomm, San Diego Tech Center, and other technology companies who would like their kids to pursue technology-related education. “[This area] is best suited for our company because it is the neighborhood with high interests in education as well as high interests in technology,” he said. “It makes a perfect combination and we’ve been hearing from many [local] parents that they were seeking this type of education.” For more information on Robolink, located at 5677 Oberlin Drive, Suite 202, San Diego, 92121; visit www.robolink.com or call (858) 527-5859.

Union Bank unveils Banking By DesignSM Union Bank, N.A., recently unveiled Banking By DesignSM — an innovative new way of banking, which allows customers to design a checking account that fits their needs. Banking By Design “unbundles” the traditional checking account and offers a wide range of optional features, each with associated costs clearly visible and with many at no cost. New and existing Union Bank customers can design their own checking account by choosing only the services they want. The base cost of $3 per month can easily be waived if the customer makes one direct deposit of $250 or more each statement period. Consumers can design their account at bankingbydesign.com, and after customizing it, they can call or visit a Union Bank branch to open the account. Accounts can also be designed in a Union Bank branch with the support of a personal banker, and the ability for consumers to open their Banking By Design account online after customizing will go live in January 2013, giving them yet another convenient option. “Banking By Design was created in direct response to consumer research and demand for control and transparency in their banking, and its innovation builds on the idea that today’s consumer expects the ability to customize the products and services that are important to them,” saidUnion Bank Senior Executive Vice President Pierre P. Habis, head of Community Banking. “Consumers made it clear that they want a fair value exchange – they only want to pay

for what they need. Banking By Design delivers on that, and we know this will be a welcome shift for consumers when it comes to their banking relationship with Union Bank.” “Many categories today require consumers to choose from bundles at a set cost, while other categories, such as the computer industry, have evolved to enable consumers to customize a product based on their needs. With Banking By Design, we are bringing this approach to banking,” explains Union Bank Senior Vice President Maha Madain, head of Consumer Deposits and chief designer of Banking By Design. “Banking By Design is the future of responsible, transparent and responsive banking.” Banking By Design’s initial offering is only the beginning as additional feature enhancements are already planned for 2013. The Banking By Design Web site design team from Eleven Inc. includes Human Factors Engineer Michael Neuman, formerly with Apple®. In support of the launch, Union Bank is debuting a new advertising campaign, and will also be adding an interactive viral component that allows users to create a Banking By Design commercial with an opportunity for their commercial to air on television in 2013. To learn more about Union Bank’s Banking By Design or to design your own checking account, visit bankingbydesign.com. Visit www.unionbank.com for more information. The Union Bank in Rancho Sante Fe is located at 6004 Paseo Delicias.

“Obama Drama” By Jonathon M.Webster

ure the market swooned over 300 points the During President Obama’s tenure the day after President Barack Obama was re-elected but was it stock and bond markets have done all about his political agenda and the “Fiscal Cliff”? You can quite well indeed. either agree or disagree with his overall platform but during President Obama’s tenure the stock and bond markets have done quite well indeed. I believe it has more to do with the “Profit Cliff,” meaning the fall off in corporate profits, as yet unresolved rescue plans for much of Europe and two significant tax cliffs that have faded into obscurity. The Medicare surtax and for California residents, the “millionaire tax” AKA Proposition 30. Text on taxes. This is an extremely complicated issue and the marginal tax rate of joint filers is affected by way more than just the “Fiscal Cliff” tax increases. Marginal taxes come January could catapult well past 50%! What follows are estimated tax calculations based on the last $100,000 of earned income for a joint filer whose total adjusted gross income is $600,000 in 2012 and 2013.

Scripps Health: Tips for staying sober during the Holidays BY SANDRA BOLLER-BILBREY, SCRIPPS HEALTH The holidays are a time of celebration, filled with family get-togethers, social events and gift exchanges. For those recovering from alcohol problems, however, the season may make refusing alcohol and staying sober more challenging than usual. In addition to the abundance of alcohol, people in recovery may feel more depressed or lonely during the holidays. Even if they are in a good place now, memories of past holidays spent drinking too much, fighting with family members or sitting alone in a dark room can come flooding back. If you or someone you love is in recovery, the following tips can reduce the stress of the holidays and help you or your loved one stay strong and sober while still enjoying the season. 1. Stay connected. Make going to 12step meetings a priority, even when you are really busy and feel you don’t have time. Put meetings on your schedule and plan other activities around them. 2. Acknowledge past mistakes and painful memories, and give yourself credit for moving forward. Again, staying connected with others who share similar experiences and are now sober can provide valuable support for everyone. 3. Choose your activities wisely. You don’t have to attend every party or event you’re invited to. Everyone is busy during the holidays, and people will understand if you have another obligation or can only stop by for a short time. 4. Get involved. Volunteer for a community organization, tackle a project you’ve been putting off or offer to help a friend or family member for an afternoon. When your mind and body are active and engaged, you’re unlikely to think about drinking.

5. Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet, exercise, and get plenty of sleep. When you feel good and are well-rested, you are more likely to stick to your resolve and make smarter decisions—which only makes you feel even better about yourself. 6. If you’re going to an event where alcohol will be served, bring a friend or family member with you for support. He or she can keep your glass filled with non-alcoholic beverages, help you resist temptation and be your excuse if you need to leave suddenly. 7. Be prepared. If you know the host of a party well enough, ask if there will be nonalcoholic beverages available, or simply bring your own. If you feel pressured to explain why you are not drinking alcohol, you can say that you have to drive, do some work, or need to wake up early in the morning. But really, you don’t have to justify your choice of beverage to anyone. 8. Avoid even the smallest temptation. If there’s a toast, fill your glass with sparkling water or juice. You’ve worked too hard to get where you are – don’t risk it for a sip of champagne or wine. 9. Plan celebrations with sober friends. Many 12-step groups have holiday events. Invite your fellow members over for dinner or a potluck. 10. Be thankful — for your recovery, your support group, and everything else that has helped you get and stay sober. Let those who have helped you know how much you appreciate them. Remember, your recovery is one of the best gifts you can give your family. Sandra Boller-Bilbrey is director of the Scripps Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Exotic nutmeg: It can be so naughty … and so nice!

Double Agent Nutmeg from the tropical evergreen plant, native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia, is actually a combo spice. The fruit (or drupe) the size of an apricot is covered with orange lacy threadlike arils called mace. When the fruit ripens it

Royalty of the Spice World The Roman writer Pliny had been singing the praises of nutmeg since the first century. Emperor Henry VI was so enamored with nutmeg’s aroma that he had the streets fumigated with the spicy perfume in preparation for his coronation. Five centuries later, Arab merchants brought gifts of nutmeg to Constantinople. By the 14th century, nutmeg had been elevated to a luxury good status, only available to the affluent, a mere half a kilogram costing the equivalent of three sheep or a cow. Nutmeg Wars European nations were in a bloody power struggle to gain control of the nutmeg trade, the diamond of spices with enchanting culinary, aphrodisiacal, medicinal and hallucinogenic properties. The Dutch became fierce aggressors in the fight, targeting nutmeg grown in the Banda Islands, aka the Spice Islands. In 1602, the Dutch

Worry-free Eggnog Ingredients 4 egg yolks 16 ounces whole milk (3.25% milk fat) 1 cup whipping cream 1/2 cup cane sugar 3 ounces bourbon or rum 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (where possible, use organics) Method: Beat the yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer until lemony yellow. Add sugar and continue to beat until dissolved. Set aside. In a saucepan, heat the milk, cream and nutmeg, stirring frequently until it comes to a boil. Pour into signed a treaty with village chiefs to secure the monopoly, but the Bandanese, misunderstanding the agreement, continued to sell nutmeg to other traders. The Dutch waged war against the islanders deporting, enslaving and even massacring thousands of Bandanese to enforce the monopoly.

the egg mixture in the mixer bowl and gently blend. Return to the pan, and heat until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from the heat, add bourbon or rum and extract, and mix well. Chill in the refrigerator. Ladle into toddy glasses, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and gingerbread snaps. The Dutch also contended with the British who controlled Pulau Run, a small Banda island with a plethora of nutmeg. In 1667, the British agreed with the Dutch to exchange Run Island for another island, New Amsterdam, which they later renamed … Manhattan. The Dutch lost control

of the nutmeg monopoly around World War II, and today thanks to the British East India Company, nutmeg thrives in various parts of the world, including Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and Grenada.

can cause hallucinations if consumed in large amounts. Known on the street as a “nutmeg high,” this is followed by horrendous gastrointestinal side effects. Standing advice: use in moderation (usually ¼- to ½- teaspoon).

The Good Nutmeg is loaded with essential oils and other phyto-goodies having anti-oxidant, anti-fungal and antidepressant properties, along with aiding digestion. The spice also provides a mother lode of valuable minerals and vitamins for fluid balance and bone and blood health such as, copper, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, zinc, along with B-complexes for stress management and vitamins C and A for an immune boosting oomph. Nutmeg and its essential oils have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Indian homeopathics for nervous and digestive disorders, and to ease creaky arthritic joints, migraines, tooth-aches and to sweeten bad breath.

Spice it up Nutmeg is as equally divine in savory dishes as it is in sweet ones. Use it to dial up hot chocolate or mochas; apple ciders or mulled wines; warm wilted spinach salads; Alfredo and cheese sauces; soufflés; lentil and other Mideastern soups; Italian sausages; risottos; lasagnas; raviolis; pumpkin and butternut squash dishes; rice puddings; custards; apple pies; peach cobblers; spice cookies; scones, muffins and pancakes. Whip up a Moroccan dry rub with a blend of nutmeg, mace, chili, cumin, rose petals, cinnamon and cardamom to jazz up chicken, lamb or wild-caught fish. Cook’s tip: Where possible, buy whole nutmeg over ground because the former retains its sassy flavor much longer. Use a fine microplane to grate.

By Lili Myers This has been an incredible year! When I was asked by the Susan G. Komen San Diego affiliate to speak at the opening ceremonies of both the Race for the Cure and the Breast CanLili Myers cer 3-Day, I had no idea how intense and emotional it would be. The year was filled with activities to help raise awareness about breast cancer and raising funds to help uninsured and underinsured women. There were several television interviews and newspaper interviews, and my team (Babes4Boobs) was there for me, encouraging me every step of the way. When I told my team that I would be speaking at opening ceremonies for the two big events in San Diego, they immediately signed up for both events again, despite the fact that when finishing the walk the last year, we had absolutely and definitely decided we would only be cheerleading along the way for the next walk. I always have mixed feelings about opening ceremonies and generally try to avoid them, as I hate to start the day crying at 6 a.m.! This year I had no choice as the opening ceremonies could not start without me. The Race for the Cure was a very emotional event and although I had a few weak moments when I almost began to cry while giving my speech, I did manage to keep it together. I think the most touching moment was when I looked into the crowd and saw all the survivors who had gathered in the front rows pumping their fists. My eyes filled up with tears. I reminded the crowd that breast cancer does not care whether we are young or old, nor does it care about ethnic background or the color of our skin. Breast cancer is not contagious, yet it affects so many of us, directly and indirectly. I applauded them as they had all made a promise and committed their time and energy to be involved in the Race for the Cure, a race we all want to win! The day before opening ceremonies for the 3-Day walk, I was asked how I wanted to be introduced. Did I want to be introduced as the “Survivor of the Year” or as the “BiCultural Spokesperson” for the San Diego Affiliate. It didn’t take me but half a second to respond. I did not want to be introduced as the survivor of the year as every survivor is the survivor of the year, every year! The night before the 3-Day walk, my husband and I had a quiet evening because we would be getting up at 4:30 a.m. the next morning. However, that evening be-

came less quiet when I started feeling ill. Food poisoning from raw fish at lunch hit me at about 9:30 p.m. and kept us up the entire night! I had texted my team and the Executive Director that I didn’t think I would be attending. Things settled down around 4 a.m. and so, I got up at 4:30 a.m., called my team and advised that I would in fact be there that morning. Feeling weak and tired, I got on stage after being introduced and started my speech in Spanish. Although I kept switching from Spanish to English and vice versa, I think this took the audience by surprise and you could hear a pin drop. It is always such an emotional moment when the walkers are reminded why it is we walk. Once we started the walk, I quietly moved out from the crowd and headed to my car, then home. I slept the remainder of the day. I then joined my team on the second day, still feeling a bit tired and weak. One of my team members who is also a survivor said to me: “I knew it! I told them you would be there to give your speech! If breast cancer didn’t stop you, if chemotherapy didn’t stop you, a little food poisoning was never going to stop you!” She made me cry. As we walked, I kept looking for Rita who you might remember is one of my favorite survivors. I met Rita in 2006 when I entered camp at the end of Day 1, and I cannot help but look for her every year. She is 84 years old, dressed as a clown and easy to spot as she holds a sign that says “34-year survivor and still clowning around.” I worry when I don’t see her. This year, I hadn’t seen her and I had started to worry when, towards the latter part of the third day I saw two women cheerleading, one of them I thought I recognized as Rita’s daughter. I walked up to her and asked. My heart stopped while I waited for her reply, which seemed to take forever. She smiled and advised that Rita was doing fine and at home taking care of her 90-year-old husband who was not feeling well. We were all tired as we walked into the holding area before closing ceremonies. The weather cooperated. The closing ceremonies were very emotional, as they are every year. Our hearts felt heavy. We had crossed the finish line together, once again. So as the walkers cheered, Babes4Boobs formed a circle, we hugged, we cried together, once again. As I have done in the past, I want to remind you to cherish every day and to enjoy each day to its fullest. Life is very fragile and full of uncertainty. We only have the “here and now” so let us not waste it with petty thoughts and shallow feelings. I wish each and every one of you a very healthy and happy Holiday season, surrounded by those you love.

The Investigator | Identity theft This column, which is written by investigator RW “Pete” Peterson discusses issues and cases related to investigations and investigative services. BY RW “PETE” PETERSON Cash is King. Whenever possible, one way to limit you chances of incurring identity theft is to use good old-fashion cash. Banks, the government, credit tracking firms, firms that compile consumer data and other crooks and busy bodies really want you to use only plastic. Retail businesses and restaurants would appreciate your cash as it avoids the bank fees that they have to pay on credit card purchases. Some businesses, like the excellent ‘Thyme in the Ranch’ restaurant, only accept cash and they can probably pass the savings on to their customers — This also has the benefit of expediting the line since people aren’t rummaging around in their purses/wallets trying to find the right card and possibly the ID that may be required. Cash keeps you anonymous and protects your privacy. This makes it difficult for banks, government and other nosey people to compile information on your

RW “Pete” Peterson movements, lifestyle, bad habits, etc., etc. Say you don’t have anything to hide? Well, you are compiling a dossier of your life for someone else to peruse. You don’t want a thief to steal a couple of hundred cash from you, but that can be a minor annoyance compared to the hours, days or months to rectify the loss of debit/credit cards, ID, etc. There is the problem created by the newer RFID cards (radio frequency i.d.) that can be scanned without touching them. You can keep the cards in an alumi-

num wallet to block the transmission. There is also the new cell phone scanner that enables crooks to scan your cards anywhere. Hand that plastic card over to the wrong person and you’ve just opened up a file on your life. You’ve handed over the keys to the castle. With the advent of the ubiquitous ATM machine you can easily use cash and avoid handing your card and ID to many people each month. And you don’t have to be a “Doomsday Prepper” to realize that a stockpile of cash is a good hedge against unforeseen circumstances. We’ve been able to track and refer for prosecution several identity thieves. We employed some of the same devious techniques against those people. We’ve been able to reverse engineer some procedures and develop our own tactics to accomplish this goal. In one such case we investigated, it turned out to be a snoopy neighbor.

He had gone through our client’s trash for several months and had gleaned bank account information from statements, as well as names of all family members, birthdates, pets names and a wealth of useful information. He also used social media to fill in many blanks in his file. He then employed ruses on the telephone, primarily with the unsuspecting teenage children. He posed as a bank employee, delivery person, utility company person and others. He was able to compile passwords, social security numbers and other identifiers. Because we don’t want to divulge all of the tricks of the trade, we’ll not get into some of the tactics he used and the procedures we employed to catch him. Do’s and don’t. Don’t discard any personal information in the trash or elsewhere. Do acquire and use a shredder for anything with personal info or names of banks, etc. (Get a cross

shredder not a straight ribbon-cutter type.) Meth heads and other nefarious types have been known to spend countless hours piecing together bank statements, etc. Don’t provide anything but the basics on any social media. Birth dates, names of spouse, children, company where you work, club memberships, and even things like your alma mater can all be used to compile a file to use against you. (The list would be very long so use your imagination.) Don’t answer questions on the telephone and instruct the other people in the household not to. Don’t discard IT equipment and storage media, including PCs, servers, USB memory sticks, hard drives, mobile phones, etc. unless they have been sanitized. (Even then experts with the right programs may retrieve your information.) Don’t allow strangers to “shoulder surf” when you write a check or use an ATM, etc.

Don’t use your Social Security number or last four digits. Use another number known only to you. Don’t click on links in unsolicited emails. Do use computer firewalls, anti virus, and anti spy ware. The good news is that despite the media hype and the myriad companies claiming to combat ID theft your odds of being affected are very slim. Depending on whose statistics you believe you have only 0.5 to 2 percent chance of becoming a victim. Of course if it happens to you it can be devastating. There are many good sources of information regarding identity theft on the web. You just have to decide what you’re willing to do to fulfill your comfort level. Next column: The OJ case.

Your Family Matters: What about Bob? BY DR. KEITH KANNER Not everyone is happy when the holiday season approaches, especially if he or she has withstood some sort of crisis or loss over the past year. The loss of a loved one, a divorce, or significant changes in Dr. Keith Kanner one’s health or occupational status can cause feelings of shock, despair, sadness, or even depression. For any individual going through one of these possible conditions, the festivities of the season may intensify strong uncomfortable feelings. For these individuals, spending time with loved ones, friends, and trying to find activities to help them feel better are important. The role of close friends is important during this time, but most people are uncertain as how to best help a friend in need. For people going through grief, the warmth of a friend can be very comforting and helpful. Inviting a friend in need over for a holiday celebration, trying to spend some special time together, and even buying them a special and meaningful gift can help someone in need cope better with a recent setback. Should a close friend try to get the one going through a tough time to talk about it? Regarding discussions about grief or loss, it is important to consider that children and adults are in different developmental and psychological states and will manage crises differently. Although the grief process

is the same, the capacity to tolerate feelings are different. Understandably, adults are more mature and typically will be able to talk about their feelings more readily, while children experiencing grief are usually in extensive defensive operations in order to continue to cope. In other words, it will take children much longer to talk about their grief experiences than adults and should not be pushed to do so. They will open up when ready as long as they are in a supportive and loving environment. In reference to adults in grief states, it is very important that their friends do express their sympathy and allow an opportunity to talk about their feelings, but don’t be too pushy. Some people find it easier to talk than others while some individuals need some personal time before they are ready to talk. In either case, the friend is offering a supportive environment to grieve which will assist the friend in getting through the process and help them get through the initial period of shock. What are typical grief reactions to expect from their friend? During the time spent with friends experiencing grief, one must expect inconsistencies in both thought and feeling. Confusion, memory problems, mood swings, irritability, sadness, crying, anger, and even laughter are all expected during the initial phase of a grief reaction. Supportive friends who expect these types of manifestations are both better prepared and helpful by tolerating such alterations in mood and thought. Over time, such emotional swings will lessen and the person will eventually return to their previous state of mind, but this could take up to three months. What else can I do to help them? Aside from being supportive and avail-

able, it is also important that as a friend, you try to keep your suffering friend on their daily track. Here, continuing in daily planned activities, including holiday plans, are important in helping the grieving in witnessing that life continues, and when they can experience their capacity to manage everyday tasks it increases their confidence that they will overcome the crisis and move ahead in their life. Am I going to be affected by their loss? Finally, when helping others work through their grief, it may also reawaken one’s own experiences with loss which though saddening, can also lead to a greater awareness and understanding of their friend’s experience and provide greater empathy. Key Points: 1. Reach out to your friends in need 2. Encourage adults to talk about their losses and troubles but not young children 3. Children will talk when they are ready and will need support-let them know you are there when they are ready 4. Thoughts and emotions are inconsistent for up to three months for people going through crisis or loss 5. Help your friends keep activities on schedule to help functionality 6. Grief in others reawakens past experiences of one’s own grief which can cause temporary sadness, but also can increase the level and degree of empathy towards that friend’s experience which can be mutually healing. One final note. Often times when a person is experiencing grief over the Holidays, there is an increase in the use of alcohol and prescription drug usage to “help” manage suffering. The result is often a worsening of symptoms, not an improvement. Encouraging exercise, a good diet, and even doing something refreshing or new, like going to a funny movie, is a much healthier choice.

No warranty is made that any or all of the personal property still exists or is available for the successful bidder and no warranty is made as to the condition of any of the personal property, which shall be sold “as is” “where is”.

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 866210-6524 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com using the file number 12-01161 assigned to this case. 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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 11/29/2012 Stewart Default Services 7676 Hazard Center Drive, Suite 820 San Diego, California 92108 (888) 210-6524 Sale Line: 714-573-1965 Website: www. priorityposting.com Olesya Williams, Trustee Sale Officer P1006123 12/6, 12/13, 12/20/2012.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Housing lifts post-election economic outlook With the election behind us, most of the uncertainty that held U.S. markets in suspense is gone. Much of the good news lifting consumer confidence is in the housing sector, which is showing strong signs of stability and recovery. The rate of home ownership has returned to a more sustainable 65.4 percent, the same as the mean set in 1997, according to the U.S. Census. “National credit scores are the highest they’ve been in 12 years,” says David M. Cabot, CEO of Prudential California Realty. “The housing market is returning to normal, with more qualified borrowers adding stability and increasing demand.” Benchmark 30-year fixed rate mortgage interest rates hovered near all-time lows in November, making borrowing costs for housing compared to other forms of credit irresist-

In California, housing supplies are critically short. September sales volume was down 5.2 percent from August on a tight 3.7-months’ supply, reported the California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.). The median price of a single-family detached home in California was $345,000 in September 2012, up 19.5 percent from $288,700 the previous year, according to DataQuick. Median California home prices peaked at $484,000 in 2007, hit bottom at $221,000 in 2009 and are currently at $287,000, the highest level since August 2008. “There’s still good news for buyers,” observes Leeann Iacino, COO of Prudential California Realty. “While California prices were rising rapidly, the typical mortgage payment for borrowers remains 63.9 percent lower

Laura Barry offers ‘new movie form of advertising’ Laura Barry of Barry Estates has been busy selling real estate, but she’s been pushing to create a revolutionary way to advertise luxury properties, something never done in San Diego before. Her new movie form of advertising has the quality of a motion picture with real actors and a real story script. This is a big evolution from the still life virtual tour and a captivating approach to marketing real estate in the luxury sector. Already, year to date, Laura Barry has closed escrow on over $100 million in real estate and has consistently been the #1 producing realtor in San Diego County since 1999 per The Wall Street Journal. One of her many strengths is finding ways to bring buyers to properties through creative marketing, which has proven successful for her clients.

Willis Allen Real Estate announces addition of Linda Mandrayar to its Rancho Santa Fe branch Willis Allen, a real estate staple in San Diego County since 1914, recently announced that Linda Mandrayar has become part of its Rancho Santa Fe team. Mandrayar brings to the table more than 25 years of experience as a former independent broker and almost as much time as a resident of Bonsall. Happily agreeing with those she meets that she does not resemble the ‘typical’ real estate agent, Mandrayar says her knowledge of the community and her clients means minimal time wasted when looking at potential homes. “Home shoppers are able to find many properties online now, but only agents are able to evaluate the information and quickly determine if the home is a fit or not,” she says. Rancho Santa Fe Branch Manager Gary Wheeler says he was Linda Mandrayar pleased to bring to the team such an experienced broker with deep roots in the community. “Linda is personable and knows how to really listen to clients. With her natural leadership qualities, I know she will do very well here at Willis Allen; and our team has welcomed her with open arms.” After attending Pepperdine University, Mandrayar set roots in North County and even helped start the Fallbrook Film Festival, one of the community’s treasured events. As an ‘empty-nester,’ she enjoys horseback riding, tennis and traveling. However, Mandrayar says most of her free time is spent promoting the White Rainbow Project, a nonprofit she and her husband run that provides support to widows in India. To contact Willis Allen Realtor Linda Mandrayar, send email to lindamandrayar@willisallen.com or call 760-717-4107.
