Village Community Church to receive Lily Award Design and construction excellence, which has been a hallmark of Rancho Santa Fe since its founding, will again be honored through the presentation of a Lily Award at the annual meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Association. The meeting will be held on May 12 at 5 p.m. at the RSF Garden Club. The highly-sought “Lilies” honor Association members and their design teams who produce architecture and land developments which continue the traditions instituted by Rancho Santa Fe’s first architect and building commissioner Lilian Rice in the 1920s. This year’s award recipient is the Village Community Presbyterian Church. The winner was selected by a threemember committee, which was chaired by Association board president Tom Lang , and included Association Art Jury President Midgie VandenBerg and Covenant member Paul Slater. The Lily Award Selection Committee members said they particularly appreciated the effort by those who helped to make the church a special community building.

Group of RSF residents prepare to tackle Grand Canyon’s Rim to Rim hike BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER A crew of 60 Rancho Santa Fe residents has spent a year prepping to conquer the Grand Canyon’s Rim to Rim hike on May 28, a 22-mile trek that works up to an 11,000-foot elevation. “It’s quite a hike,” said Rancho Santa Fe Association Manager Pete Smith, who has organized the journey along with Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club President Patrick Galvin. Over their year of preparation, the dedicated group has endured one broken finger, one rattlesnake bite, snow, rain, sun-drenched 90-degree days and night hikes with head lamps. The rattlesnake bitten participant was Smith himself, getting nipped on a hike in the Anzo Borrego Desert. He had to spend a few days in the hospital but Smith said it wasn’t as the painful as the teasing afterward—more than one rubber snake has been tossed in his direction and baby rattles shaken outside his office door. This will be Smith’s 20th year doing the Rim to Rim hike, a trip he does with a group of friends every year. “It keeps me in shape and gives you something to work toward,” Smith said. The shortest time the group has completed the Rim hike is seven hours, but it has also taken as long as 16 hours. Aware of Smith’s yearly adventure, Galvin invited Smith to speak at a Rotary meeting last year. “We were really overwhelmed by the excitement and enthusiasm of the Rotarians,” said Galvin. With so many people interested in going, they began putting together the trip. See HIKE, page 21

These ef-

forts, combined with our receipt of the funds from the sale of the New York property, resulted in a projected operating surplus for the current year of $505,000. The proposed budget projects that the assessment rates and income will remain flat for the upcoming year as well as all fee income. However, there is upward pressure on expenses as the cost of oil works its way through the cost of everything. To help control expenses for the 2011/2012 fiscal year, we have frozen annual salaries over $75,000 and are reducing benefits for new hires. The cost of existing employee benefit programs continues to increase as well as the cost of doing business in California. Overall, as the governing board, it is our responsibility to provide first-class service to members in a professional manner and to be fair to our employees that work so hard for us. I believe this budget gives us the tools to do this and end the next year in a strong financial position.

Leading economic indicators up sharply in March, report says The USD Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate’s Index of Leading Economic Indicators for San Diego County rose 1.0 percent in March. The gain was led by big increases in building permits, initial claims for unemployment insurance, and help wanted advertising. Local consumer confidence and the outlook for the national economy were also up solidly. The only negative was a small drop in local stock prices. With March’s gain, the USD Index has now risen or been unchanged for two full years. The outlook for the local economy continues to be positive. One area where things are picking up is the labor market, with 24,700 jobs added in San Diego Country between March 2010 and March 2011. Sectors showing good job growth include administrative, support, and waste services (up 6,500 year-over-year), professional, scientific, and technical services (up 5,900), leisure and hospitality (up 4,800), and health care (up 3,800). Construction (down 1,000 jobs yearover-year) and manufacturing (down 700) are the sectors that continue to lag. While the gain is welcome, the local economy still has a long way to go to fully recover. At the March rate of job growth, it will take another four years to get back to the same level of employment as the peak in December 2007. The local unemployment rate remains high, having topped the double digit mark now for 22 consecutive months. — Submitted by Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate, University of San Diego

City working on improvements to Lomas Santa Fe & Highland Drives, seeking community input BY MARLENA CHAVIRA-MEDFORD STAFF WRITER Solana Beach City Council and city staff are developing a plan for improvements to Highland Dr. and Lomas Santa Fe Dr., a project that aims to calm traffic and enhance the overall streetscape at this intersection. The preliminary plans include narrowing traffic from two lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction on Lomas Santa Fe from Highland to Las Banderas. This change would aim to make the area more pedestrian-friendly by adding sidewalks as well as slowing down traffic. This change would be done by simply repainting the traffic lanes, so it could be easily modified as needed. The council is now actively seeking community input on this and other planned changes to the area, which include: a new sidewalk along the west side of Highland between Lomas Santa Fe and Sun Valley; roadway improvements on Highland from Lomas Santa Fe north of Sun Valley; and striping modifications on Lomas Santa Fe and Las Banderas.

RSF Association board candidates explain why they want to serve Three candidates will vie for two seats in this year’s RSF Association board election. Ann Boon, Ann Mercer and Larry Spitcaufsky are the candidates who are seeking the two seats being vacated by outgo-

Ann Boon: 1. Why did you decide to run for a seat on the RSF Association board? I moved to Rancho Santa Fe four years ago from St. Louis with Jim, my husband of 32 years. We were searching for the ideal community in which we could retire, play golf, ride, and be closer to our children. If you can have love at first sight with a place, that’s what Jim and I had when we arrived in Rancho Santa Fe. Jim and I didn’t know before we arrived here if the ideal community even existed—we discovered it does. The short answer to why I am running for a seat on this board is that I want to help preserve the very special, idyllic rural character of RSF. Wherever we have lived, I have always been interested in participating in local government. Local government to me is not about political parties or ideologies. To me, it is more about working with your neighbors to improve or sustain the environment in which you live—schools, parks, roads—and doing so in a fiscally responsible way. I have always felt a personal responsibility to jump in and help where I could in my community. When we moved to RSF, my attitude was the same. This is a wonderful community and I want to be an active part of it. Over the past four years, I have served on several Association committees and joined other local nonprofit boards. Running for a seat on this board seems like a natural progression. 2. What do you think is the most valuable experience and/or skills you would bring to service on the RSF Association board? After I received my MBA from the Wharton School at See BOON, page 18

ing board members Tom Lang and Deb Plummer. The Association’s Annual Meeting will be held on May 12 at 5 p.m. at the RSF Garden Club and candidate election ballots will be mailed out to all registered Association members that

day. Ballots must be returned to the RSF Association offices by June 13 at 5 p.m., according to RSF Association Manager Pete Smith. Below, the candidates answer questions about why they want to serve on the board and more.

Ann Mercer: 1. Why did you decide to run for a seat on the RSF Association board? I have been wanting to do something to give back to the Rancho Santa Fe community. The opening on the RSF Association board seemed to be the perfect avenue. I have the time and energy to work and learn on the board for the next three years. 2. What do you think is the most valuable experience and/or skills you would bring to service on the RSF Association board? Having been a resident here in Rancho Santa Fe for 23 years has been such a benefit. Our three daughters were fortunate to be able to attend the Rancho Santa Fe School and Torrey Pines High School. Our family has been able to enjoy the school, golf course and the serenity Rancho Santa Fe has to offer. 3. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF Association/covenant? One of the biggest issues is trying to find balance between old and new. Keeping the standards and traditions of Rancho Santa Fe is very important. 4. What, if anything, would you change about how the RSF Association operates? I would think that you don’t want anything to change. The reason most of us moved here is because we liked the way things are.

Larry Spitcaufsky: 1. Why did you decide to run for a seat on the RSF Association board? When asked to join the Rancho Riding Club Board over five years ago, out of habit I almost turned it down. I believed that I did not have the time for charitable or political boards. Then I rationalized “maybe I am not as good of a manager and delegator as I thought if I couldn’t find two hours a month for a worthwhile cause.” I accepted the board seat and have enjoyed being on the Riding Club board and proud of what our boards have accomplished and the satisfaction I have gained from the experience. 2. What do you think is the most valuable experience and/or skills you would bring to service on the RSF Association board? If elected to the Association board, I will enjoy applying my 45 years of diversified business ownership and management skills and, most important, my energy for the benefit of the Association. 3. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF Association/covenant? I don’t believe my personal issues are important at this time. A committee did a fabulous job on a residents’ survey asking the community what their issues are. As a board member I would want to prioritize the residents’ major concerns and issues and then get to work with the rest of the board to find and implement solutions. My business experience has taught me that over a three-year term it is not really important how you deal with one specific project or isSee SPITCAUFSKY, page 21

In Memoriam

Helen Gillette Chapin — 100 Helen Gillette Chapin, widow of Rancho Santa Fe realtor Charles A. Chapin, slipped away peacefully at home on April 22 at the age of 100 with her family by her side. Born in 1910 in Chicago, she later moved with her family to Pasadena. She took up ballet dancing at the age of 19, and as a member of the Collenette Ballet group, performed in various presentations over the years. As a member of MGM’s Goldwyn Girls she performed in the movie “Merry Widow” in 1934 starring Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald, and “Midsummer Night’s Dream” in 1935 starring James Cagney and Dick Powell. Mickey Rooney also had a role in that movie. In 1940 she married Charlie, and they settled in Rancho Santa Fe after the war, where they raised their three children. She was predeceased by Charlie in 1998 after 58 years of marriage, and son Kent in 1993. She was a longtime member of the Village Presbyterian Church, the RSF Book Club, Garden Club, San Diego Yacht Club, DAR and various other organizations. She leaves behind children Carol and Chip, seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Remembered for her zest for life and ready smile, a memorial service will be held at the Village Church on May 14, at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Wounded Warriors or Red Cross.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local man devoted to finding cure for Type 1 diabetes BY JOE TASH Contributor As the co-founder of a successful real estate company, David Winkler could be taking it easy these days and enjoying the fruits of his labors. Instead, it seems that in some ways, he’s just getting warmed up. Winkler, 57, is CEO of the Del Mar Partnership, Inc., which developed the Del Mar Plaza shopping center and other projects in North County. Winkler was diagnosed at age 6 with Type 1 diabetes, a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks and destroys beta cells, which are found in the pancreas and produce insulin. Insulin helps the body convert glucose, or sugar, into energy. Unable to produce insulin, Type 1 diabetics run the risk of abnormally high blood-glucose levels, which can cause heart and kidney disease, blindness and nerve disease requiring amputations. (Type 1 diabetics take insulin injections, which can, in turn, cause dangerously low blood-glucose levels if not closely monitored.) Today, Winkler has focused both his energy and personal wealth on finding a cure for the disease, through the UCSD Pediatric Diabetes Research Center, which he helped launch two years ago. “I vowed many years ago I was going to do whatever I could to end this disease,” said Winkler. The local

David Winkler receives an award at the JDRF Gala event on April 30. resident now serves as chairman of the research center’s leadership council, which oversees such functions as fundraising and recruiting for the fledgling institution. During an interview in his real estate office, Winkler described to a reporter how, as a youth, he had to sharpen his own injection needles with a stone, boil his syringes and monitor his glucose level with urine tests. Today, he wears an electronically controlled insulin pump and a monitoring system that checks his blood-glucose level every few seconds. Winkler speaks about Type 1 diabetes with the technical expertise of a scien-

tist and, in fact, as a young man, he majored in biology with the intent of becoming a diabetes researcher. But he decided a life in the lab wasn’t for him, so he turned to law school and an eventual career in real estate development, which he said he considered a way to raise the capital to support diabetes research. “I always wanted to be supportive of research and it just kind of came full circle,” he said. Winkler and his wife, Sherry, have donated several million dollars toward diabetes research, the majority to get the research center off the ground, and Winkler also

spends 20-30 hours per week on research center business. During the interview, Winkler checked his monitor and noted that his blood-glucose level was higher than normal, which he said demonstrates the difficulty of keeping diabetes in check even when the patient has long experience in dealing with the disease. “It can be controlled. It’s not going to be perfect, but it can be controlled,” he said, adding, “It can be a killer if one is not careful to address it and deal with it.” One of the biggest misconceptions about Type 1 diabetes — which is also known as juvenile-onset dia-

betes — is that it is interchangeable with Type 2, or adult-onset, diabetes, Winkler said. In the case of the latter disease, a person’s pancreas may still make insulin, but the body’s receptors are unable to use the insulin to process glucose. Some 95 percent of those with diabetes have the Type 2 variety, and it can often be effectively controlled through diet, exercise and medication. Winkler said the diabetes research center will move into a new building planned for completion in 2015 near UCSD’s Thornton Hospital in La Jolla. The new center will include labs for basic research, space for clinical trials and a clinic to treat patients. For now, research is conducted at a facility off North Torrey Pines Road and at other locations at the UCSD campus, and patients are seen at a diabetes clinic at Rady Children’s Hospital, which will move to La Jolla once the new building is completed. Naming rights are available for the new research center for $5 million, Winkler said. Among the leadership council’s current tasks is recruiting a permanent director for the center, along with additional researchers, Winkler said. One person recruited by Winkler was Jen Grove, executive director of the Del Mar Village Association, and the mother of two daughters with diabetes. Grove’s younger daughter was diag-

nosed with the disease four years ago, at the age of 6, and her older daughter, 14, was diagnosed in December. The two diagnoses have forever altered the family’s daily lives, said Grove, who serves on the research center’s leadership council. “I’m literally my children’s pancreas,” said Grove, calculating what each of them eats and making sure they get the right amount of insulin. “It changes every aspect of your home life.” It has helped that Grove’s husband is a physician, she said, but the family still must deal with such daily realities as finger sticks to check blood-glucose levels, insulin injections and concern about long-term health impacts. “I would like to see a cure found in my children’s lifetime,” she said. Grove credited the passion and dedication of Winkler — who was honored this weekend along with his company and others by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation —with bringing the research center from an idea into reality. “He’s an incredibly talented, smart man,” said Grove. “It’s through his energy and dedication that all of us are doing this. David is the catalyst behind it.” For more information about the Pediatric Diabetes Research Center and services for patients, visit the center’s website at www.pdrc.ucsd. edu.

Craig Edwards

Profile

Horses and people make for a powerful combination in the success story of RSF Insurance agency founder BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor In the insurance business, Craig Edwards started out selling ‘‘mortality” insurance on horses — Thoroughbred race horses, of course, in the high-risk ‘‘Sport of Kings’’ — but definitely horses. He expanded into “people” insurance some 25 years ago and, as the saying goes, he hasn’t looked back. Edwards — who keeps his age a closely-guarded secret from his buddies because they think he’s several years younger than they are, and he wants to keep them thinking that — is the personable president of the Rancho Santa Fe Insurance agency whose gold-plated client list of “movers and

shakers” is the envy of insurance agencies all over the country. With an unpretentious main office in Rancho Santa Fe and branch offices in downtown San Diego, Fallbrook, Newport Beach and La Quinta, Edwards and his team of 12 employees, comprise Southern California’s largest independent personal lines insurance agency specifically representing four of the country’s top insurance companies — Chubb, Fireman’s Fund, ACE Private Risk and Chartis Private Client Group, a subsidiary of the reorganized AIG. The agency offers clients insurance on their homes, often multiple homes in the U.S. and abroad, and everything in

Quick Facts Name: Craig A. Edwards Distinction: Craig Edwards is president and owner of Rancho Santa Fe Insurance, a leading independent personal insurance agency established 25 years ago and currently with branch offices in downtown San Diego, Fallbrook, Newport Beach and La Quinta. Edwards started out in business as a bloodstock agent, buying, selling and insuring Thoroughbred race horses. Resident of: Rancho Santa Fe Born: Colfax, Iowa, a town founded in 1866 and named after Schuyler Colfax, vice president to President Ulysses S. Grant. Education: B.A. in business with a minor in marketing, University of Northern Iowa Family: He and his wife, Karen, co-owner of Rancho Santa Fe Insurance, have been married 11 years. He has two married daughters, Kellie and Allison; and two stepsons, Dale, 21, a business student at Santa Cruz College, and Drew, 18, a pre-veterinarian student at the University of Colorado. Interests: Travel; Thoroughbred racing; duck and pheasant hunting; golf Favorite vacations: Bali and Italy Favorite getaways: Big Bear, California, and Lake George, N.Y. Favorite film: “Dances With Wolves” Recent reading: Left Behind, a series of bible prophecy novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins Philosophy: “God first; family second.

those homes, including art collections, jewelry and fine wines; umbrella personal liability insurance up to $100 million; insurance on their autos, their yachts, their aircraft; and, of course, insurance on their lives, including kidnap and ransom coverage. “What we do and what probably makes us successful,” Edwards explained, “is: if you come in as a client of ours, the person you talk to is the person you stay with as long as you’re with us. If you are with us 20 years, that person does everything for you. They quote your insurance, they write it, they service it and stay with you all the way.” Last year, RSF Insurance was the number one fastest growing Chubb agency in the California and the number two fastest growing in the nation. “We grew 36 percent with Chubb,” Edwards revealed. We interviewed Edwards in his office on Paseo Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe. A lean 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, Edwards keeps in shape trying to keep up with his active blended family of his karate black-belt wife, two married daughters, two college-age stepsons and four grandchildren. He’s also an avid bird hunter. He and his wife, Karen, co-owner of Rancho Santa Fe Insurance, have been married 11 years. “Five years after my divorce, I met her,” he said. “She was cleaning my teeth. She was my dental hygienist right here in town at Dr. Cooke’s office … She was born in Rome, Georgia, grew up in Orlando, Florida, and has a black belt in karate.” Edwards was born in Colfax, Iowa, population 1,700. He was the younger of two sons. His father owned and operated a Texaco gas station. At a young age, Edwards developed a love for Thoroughbred horses. He spent weekends during the racing season with his parents at the Aksarben (“Nebraska” spelled backwards) Race Track in nearby Omaha, Nebraska. He vowed to his father that the minute he got out

Craig Edwards (PHOTO: JON CLARK) of college he would buy a racehorse. And he did. Immediately after graduating from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in business and, at 21, a man of potential means, but no job yet, he walked into a local bank, confidently borrowed $1,500, and bought his first Thoroughbred. He had married in college and he and his bride had moved to Vancouver, Washington, across the river from Portland Meadows Racetrack. In its first race, the horse he purchased broke its leg and had to be put down. He had borrowed the money and now the horse was dead. So he paid off the loan, saved up $2,000 and bought his second horse, China Story, a black gelding, that went on to win seven races, “and, with every time it won a race, we bought another horse.” Edwards subsequently moved to Seattle, Wash., where his work as a bloodstock agent — buying, selling, and eventually insuring horses — became a real business, he said. One of his horses, Item Two, purchased for $10,000

in 1975, was sent by Edwards to race in California under trainer Robert Frankel. Item Two won $375,000 for Edwards in its first four races and, after Edwards sold it, went on to win an additional $275,000 for a lifetime total of $650,000. He got into the horse insurance business somewhat casually as a sideline. He met a representative from Lloyd’s of London who was looking to recruit an agent to sell horse mortality insurance in Washington. “I said, ‘I don’t know how to sell insurance.’ And the Lloyd’s rep said, ‘‘It’s easy. There’s the horse. Here’s the piece of paper. You insure it. We send you a check.’” “I also got in on the buying and selling of the shares and breedings of [1977 Triple Crown winner] Seattle Slew and [three-time second-place Triple Crown winner] Alydar after they completed their racing careers,” Edwards recalled. “There was a gentleman there that had eight of the 32 shares of Seattle Slew. I did a lot of buying and selling of those shares as an agent. They sold for $3.2 million per share, and, of course, I got commission,

and the breedings sold for $750,000 for each breeding.” In a racing career that spanned 30 years, Edwards estimates he won some 250 races. After 12 years in the rains of Seattle, Edwards visited Rancho Santa Fe in 1985 on business with a client who had horses. “I walked out of the door of The Inn. It was December — sunny, flowers, everybody in short-sleeved shirts. I decided at that point I had found where I was going to live. Went back home, closed everything and moved the business to Rancho Santa Fe.” Shortly afterwards, while having lunch at the Mille Fleur restaurant, he met local businessmen Frank Warren and Lee Dodson. Warren had a background in insurance and Dodson owned the entire Mille Fleur block. “They knew I was in horse insurance and they said I should start an agency because there was nobody really doing personal lines insurance in Rancho Santa Fe. So, right there, having lunch, they decided my future.” A month later, Dodson asked Edwards again if he was seriously interested in starting an agency. “I said, ‘Yes, but I didn’t have enough money to start it …’ “So, he wrote me a check on the spot for $100,000. ‘Pay me back when you can.’ And then rented me a little, 8’ by 8’, office which at the time was the wine storage room for Mille Fleur. As his sponsors suggested, Edwards called Chubb and said he wanted to sell insurance for them. “The Chubb lady came out, looked at my office, and wanted to know where my other office was,” he laughed to recall. “‘Let me get this straight,’” she said. “‘You have this ‘liddle-biddy’ office, you have no employees, and you want to represent us, one of the largest insurance companies in the world.’ And I said, ‘Yes.’” She asked how he intended to make the business

Researchers propose way to catch signs of autism early A simple screening process at a baby’s one-year checkup may provide a way for physicians to detect cases of Autism Syndrome Disorder (ASD), language or developmental delays at an early age, according to research done at UCSD School of Medicine. Karen Pierce, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Neurosciences, led the work done at the UCSD Autism Center of Excellence (ACE). The research team assembled a network of 137 pediatricians around the region and initiated a systematic screen program for all infants at their one-year check up. Their study was published in the April 28 online edition of the Journal of Pediatrics. “There is extensive evidence that early therapy can have a positive impact on the developing brain,” said Pierce. “The opportunity to diagnose and thus begin treatment for autism around a child’s first birthday has enormous potential to change outcomes for children affected with the disorder.” The study screened 10,479 one-year-olds in the San Diego region. At their child’s regular one-year check up, parents or caregivers filled out questionnnaire called the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile Infant-Toddler Checklist that asked questions about a child’s use of eye contact, sounds, words, gestures, object recognition and other forms of age-appropriate communication. Any infant who failed the screening was referred to the ACE for further testing, and re-evaluated every six months until age 3. Out of the more than 10,000 infants, 184 failed the initial screening and received further evaluation. To date, 32 of these children have received a provisional or final diagnosis of ASD, 56 of language delay, nine of developments delay, and 36 “other” — totaling a positive predictive value of 75 percent using this simple, five-minute screening technique. “When we started giving parents the survey, I found that they listened more carefully to what I had to share with them and paid more attention to their child’s development,” said pediatrician Chrystal E. de Freitas, MD, FAAP, who participated in the study. “In addition to giving me the opportunity to do a more thorough evaluation, it allowed parents time to process the information that their child

might have a development delay or autism – a message no parent wants to hear. But, by addressing these concerns early, the child can begin therapy that much sooner.” Following the screening, all toddlers diagnosed with ASD or developmental delay, and 89 percent of those with language delay were referred for behavioral therapy around age 17 months. On average, these Karen Pierce, who led the study, plays with her son, children began receiving treatment at age 19 months. “Given lack of universal screening of infants for such disorders at 12 months, this program could be adopted by any pediatric office, at virtually no cost, to aid in the identification of children with developmental delays,” said Pierce. “Importantly, parents will be able to get help for their children at a much earlier age than before.” In addition to tracking infant outcomes, the UCSD researchers also surveyed the participating pediatricians. Prior to the study, most had not been screening infants systematically for ASD. After the study, 96 percent of the pediatricians rated the program positively and all participating pediatric offices have continued using the screening tool. Contributors to the study include Cindy Carter, PhD and Melanie Weinfeld, PhD, UCSD Department of Neurosciences and the Autism Center of Excellence at UC San Diego School of Medicine; Jamie Desmond, MPH, Roxana Hazin, BS and Nicole Gallagher, BA, UCSD Autism Center of Excellence; and Robert Bjork, MD, Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. Their work was funded by the support from the Organization for Autism Research (OAR), Autism Speaks (formerly Cure Autism Now) and a National Institute for Mental Health Autism Center of Excellence grant.

First step completed in Scripps Encinitas planned $200 million expansion; RSF family donates $5 million Local civic, business and health care leaders gathered recently at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas to celebrate the completion of a new parking structure, which is the first step in a planned $200 million expansion at the nonprofit hospital campus. The three-story parking structure includes 884 vehicle spaces on five levels (including underground and rooftop) and replaces a flat lot that previously occupied the space. The structure is centrally located on the campus, between the hospital building and surrounding medical office buildings. Local leaders marked the parking structure opening with a “butterfly release” ceremony, reflective of the hospital’s ongoing growth to meet the community’s expanding health care needs. “This new parking structure will provide patients and visitors convenient access to our hospital and neighboring doctor’s offices,” said Carl Etter, the hospital’s chief executive. “This represents the first new construction on our campus since the early 1990s and reflects our commitment to the community.” Future expansion plans at Scripps Encinitas call for construction of a two-story, 60,000-square-foot critical care building, which will house 27 emergency department beds on he first floor and 36 private acute care beds on the second floor. Construction on the new emergency department is expected to start as early at 2012. The Scripps Encinitas emergency department treats approximately 37,000 patients annually in its current 12-bed unit. Expansion at Scripps Encinitas will be funded through a combination of sources, including philanthropy. Scripps Health Foundation is seeking donors from the community; more information is available at campaignforscrippsencinitas.org. Earlier this month, Scripps Encinitas received a $5 million gift to support its expansion from a charitable Rancho Santa Fe family. To date, more than $25 million in philanthropic gifts has been raised for the hospital’s growth plans.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Jennifer Spengler runs to raise money for Leukemia Society Jennifer Spengler has lived locally since she was 8 years old. She is founder of PR in a Flash, and co-owner of “studio m la jolla” with her husband photographer Michael Spengler. The couple has three daughters, Kyra, 12; Mila, 9; and Evie, 2. Spengler sits on committees at The Bishop’s School, and is a member of National Charity League’s San Diego Chapter. Jennifer Spengler Spengler is also a member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s endurance sports Team in Training. She is working toward her second race and has raised more than $20,000 in the last two years toward cures for blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, which took her father’s life. You can read more at www.pages.teamintraining.org/sd/rnr11/ jspengler. Who or what inspires you? Teachers inspire me every day. I don’t know how they do what they do, day in and day out, and remain passionate about education and children. My husband inspires me. He has worked so hard to follow his dream … he never complains about the long hours, petty (and not so petty) annoyances, and stresses of owning a business. He then comes home and jumps right in with the family. Authors inspire me. Those who sit down and write — whether it’s one hour at the crack of dawn before the kids wake or eight hours throughout the day. One day, I want to have the courage to write more than a blog entry or press release. Until then, I’ll keep reading and be-

ing inspired by those who “just do it.” Finally, my mom inspires me. With six kids, two stepchildren, and 20 grandkids, she continues to give endless amounts of love and support to us, while also caring for my grandmother. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Well, if you know me well enough, you know the first person I’d have to invite is a caterer. I hate to cook. Honestly, though, I’d love to have a dinner with my dad. Just me and my dad. He died after a valiant battle against leukemia when I was 12, and I’d love to have just an hour or two to sit with him as an adult and ask him how he thinks I’m doing, what he’d like to see me do differently, and whether we’ll all be together in the end. Tell us about what you are reading. I have Jonathan Franzen’s “Freedom” on my iPad and I’m in awe when I can sit and really ingest each brilliant sentence. What is your most-prized possession? I most value my husband’s photographs of our girls and the home they hang in. What do you do for fun? Because I’m training for a race with TNT right now, I’m enjoying running along the coast... I also love to jump on my treadmill in the garage and catch up on “Grey’s Anatomy” or a “Real Housewife” or two. We love to go to the movies as a family and don’t mind the occasional gloomy day in San Diego so we can sneak off to a matinee. Quick trips to L.A. or the desert keep us happily going through the mundane of the day-to-day for weeks.

What is your greatest accomplishment? Well, I felt pretty great crossing the finish line of my first marathon last January. I was turning 40 and wanted to do something “epic,” and I was able to raise $13,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and honor the memory of my father at the same time. But I am most proud of the family Michael and I have built together. What is your motto or philosophy of life? “Hope is not a plan.” While we may buy the occasional Lotto ticket, we have come to realize that it’s all on us. We can make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of others, but to do so, we have to be consciously pro-active. All that consciousness can be exhausting, but when the results are positive, it is incredibly rewarding.

Enjoy a unique evening at RSF ‘Toast of the Town’ & Kids’ Art Auction Students are putting the final touches on their masterful artwork creations for the RSF School’s “2nd Annual RSF Student Art Auction,” part of the upcoming “Toast of the Town” celebration. The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation invites all contributors to a complimentary, fun and casual adult-only evening honoring all supporters of the RSF Education Foundation for 2010-11. The “Toast of the Town” celebration is hosted by The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on Thursday, May 12, 5:30 to 7 p.m. The magical evening includes the 2nd Annual RSF Student Art Auction, and is full of surprises at the wondrous masterpieces created by teams of students and guided by parent volunteers. It is a joyous outpouring of creativity manifested in special pieces of student artwork from grades K-8. Each classroom at the school creates its own magnum opus with each student in the class assisting. Some pieces are useful, and some are beautiful, but all are unique showpieces and extraordinarily creative. The artwork will be carefully displayed and sold at auction to benefit the RSF Education Foundation. Exciting creations in this year’s auction include an upholstered chair made by Mrs. Maud’s 3rd grade class, a tetherball court complete with team jerseys made by Mrs. Olson’s 1st grade class, a dog house made by Mrs. Block’s 6th graders, a full-size Indian teepee by Mrs. Tan’s 1st graders, a vintage bookshelf painted by Mrs. Gibbs kindergarten class, and much more. This year Mrs. Maud’s third grade class decided to let art meet function. Michele

Sidwell led the project by donating an antique bergere chair and had it stripped, painted black, and then professionally reupholstered in art canvas. Jonathan Wiltshire, father of Nicolas in Mrs. Maud’s class, is a local artist who not only created the concept design, but also generously spent several hours with the third graders as they filled in the birds and blossoms and carefully taught them how to add depth and dimension to their art. The class voted and decided to name their piece “Nature’s Throne.” Guests will enjoy beer, wine and hors d’oeuvre stations. This event is generously sponsored by community partner and host, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. The event is a complimentary “thankyou” for all 2010-11 contributors to the RSF Education Foundation. It’s not too late to join in the fun. Any who have not yet contributed can still donate to the Foundation by calling 756-1141 x208 or online at www. rsfef.org. Classes with 100 percent participation will receive special recognition. The volunteer co-chairs for the Toast of the Town are Kelli Graham and Teryl Macia. The volunteer co-chairs for the Kids’ Art Auction are Linda Dado and Lori Vitale.

Michele Sidwell led Mrs. Maud’s 3rd grade class in painting this beautiful upholstered chair. The children voted on their favorite title for the project, and the winner was “Nature’s Throne.”

EDWARDS continued from page 8 successful. “I said, ‘I’m going to get on every board in town and all the charity boards and start meeting people and writing insurance on all the houses here in town. “After telephoning her office, she came back and said, ‘OK, we have a deal.’” And that’s how Edwards started Ranch Santa Fe Insurance. He soon was appointed to the national boards of Chubb Insurance and Fireman’s Fund, and over the years served locally on more than 20 nonprofit boards, including those of the Helen Woodward Animal Center, the Boys and Girls Clubs, Friends of San Pasqual Academy, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center, and the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. Asked if he really enjoyed serving on all these boards, he said: “Yeah, it was fun. I’m

kind of a charity person. It pulled at my heart. It was something I really, really liked. And I was good at it. I was good at raising money for charities. “And the only reason I started getting off of some of them was, with having four children and then grandchildren, there were too many meetings. I couldn’t possibly go to all of them and have time for family, which is my big thing.” Nowadays, he acts as an advisor to a reduced number of boards and sponsors various charities. And, just two years ago, he sold his last two horses.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

In Memoriam

Patricia S. Carmel July 19, 1917-April 25, 2011

Steven John “Hammer” Adams April 26, 1961-April 7, 2011 My beloved son, Steven John Adams, passed away on April 7, 2011. He was 49. He was born April 26, 1961 in Levittown, N.Y. His father, Jim, was employed by IBM and the family moved frequently. While living in New Caanan, Conn., Steve attended Saxie Jr. High School where he received awards for service to the school and for intramural hockey. In 1974, the family moved to Rancho Santa Fe where Steve attended the Rancho School and Torrey Pines High School. He received special recognition for freshman football and wrestling in 1976. He was on the junior varsity wrestling team in 1977-78. After graduation he attended Palomar Junior College and received his degree in General Education. He continued his education at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz., where he earned his BS degree in aeronautical sciences. He was an accomplished pilot and also owned a helicopter license. His parents purchased the San Diego Turf & Irrigation Company, a distributorship of Toro Company, in 1983 and Steve joined the company, working with his father until the latter’s death in 1986. He then joined Duco Construction Co, where the owner and good friend John Dulich taught him how to build a house from the ground up. He became a master tile setter and with his artistic talent created many fine works of art. He later earned his contractor’s license and opened up his own company, Hammer Construction, in 1995. Steve was more than a builder. He loved the beach, the mountains and sports. He played Over-the-Line, was a certified scuba and sky diver, and an avid Charger fan. He was a tinkerer, i.e. he loved “taking apart and putting together,” creating something useful and valuable. Steve was well known for his sense of humor, his big heart and “loud” voice. He had an engaging and outgoing personality for which he will be remembered. He is survived by his mother, Sandra Adams-Creatura, his brothers William Scott and James W. Adams III, his nephews Scotty and Taylor Adams, and his niece Alexandra Adams Rice. Among others is his uncle John Marchisotto and aunt Kathy Marchisotto, and his cousins Tim and Keith, and their spouses Kim and Jill. Other relatives include his aunt Carolyn Cirincion, and her daughters Leeann and Linda. Robert Adams, another uncle and his children Wendy and Robert, also survive the deceased, as well as his long-time companion Susie Rodriguez. He was much loved and will be greatly missed by these relatives and friends. He has left a void in the lives that he touched. A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held in the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe on Saturday, May 7, at 11 a.m. There will be a reception immediately after the service. Memorial gifts may be sent in his name to: James W. Adams Memorial Scholarship Fund, Minisink Valley Central High School, P.O. Box 217, Slate Hill, N,Y.10973.

Patricia Schlotman Carmel of Rancho Santa Fe, died peacefully Monday, April 25. She was 93. James H. Carmel, her husband of 58 years, as well as six children, 13 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, survive her. She was born July 19, 1917, the daughter of Joseph B. Schlotman, a financier, philanthropist, and top amateur golfer, and Stella Ford Schlotman, a founder and major benefactress of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Institute of Arts, Planned Parenthood, and numerous Detroit charitable organizations. She was the great granddaughter of Capt. John Baptiste Ford, considered the father of the plate glass industry in the United States. Mrs. Carmel was a graduate of Miss Porter’s school in Farmington, Conn., The Spence School in New York City, and attended Wayne State University in Detroit. She made her debut in 1936. An avid and accomplished sportswoman into her 80s, she played competitive golf and tennis, was an elegant equestrienne, a crack shot, and a fine fly fisherwoman – a skill honed under the guidance of her father at the family’s fishing lodge on the Grand Cascapedia River in Quebec. She inherited her parents’ strong social conscience and was passionate about the many organizations she worked with and the political and environmental causes that she supported – from the United Nations, the League of Women Voters, Tau Beta Association, and Physicians for Social Responsibility, to Golden Retriever Rescue of Southern California and the San Diego Humane Society. In the 1960s she served as president of Planned Parenthood in Detroit. She had three daughters from her 1938 marriage to William M. Joy, a nephew of Henry B. Joy of the Packard Motor Company. They are Patricia Darmon of Geneva, Switzerland; Josephine MacLean of Harbor Springs, Mich.; and Victoria Emmons of Cumberland, Maine. That marriage ended in divorce. In 1954, she married Mr. Carmel, a museum exhibit designer whose work took them around the world. They moved from Detroit to Rancho Santa Fe in 1974 with their three children, Christopher Carmel now of Bronxville, N.Y.; Jeffrey Carmel of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.; and Jennifer Carmel of Olivenhain, Calif. Since moving to the Ranch, Mrs. Carmel had been an active member and reader of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Rancho Santa Fe, and the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club. She was a confirmed baseball fanatic, superb cook, and gifted rose gardener. Until recently, she was a fixture at Thyme in the Ranch, rarely seen without her news magazines, writing materials, and her knitting. A private memorial service will be held at a later time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in her name to Canine Companions for Independence.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

BOON continued from page 3 the University of Pennsylvania, I had a long business career in finance and strategic planning. I worked for large corporations as well as small businesses. I believe all that background has provided me with a set of skills and experiences that can contribute positively to the workings of any board. These days, every organization needs its members to be focused on fiscal responsibility, for both the short and the long terms. In addition, I was elected and served for nine years on my local school board in Missouri. Through that experience I gained great insight into the work of a local governing board: the importance of listening to voters and attempting to balance differing and sometimes opposing needs and objectives. My recent experience over the past four years greatly increased my knowledge about the RSF Association administration and the workings of our Association board. I have served on various Association committees: Finance, Roads and Planning and Long-Range Planning, which developed the survey that all residents received back in January. I

have acquired an understanding of our budgeting process and the component parts of our budget. Though I still have much to learn, I believe I will be able to participate fully in the critical thinking and discussion needed to make good decisions on behalf of all our residents. 3. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the RSF Association/covenant? Preserving the rural character of our community is the biggest issue because it is the broadest issue and in many ways our most important objective. Every challenge we face is related to this issue and every solution we consider will have an impact — whether positive or negative — on the rural character of our community. Such challenges include: •Controlling the traffic, both in terms of speed and of quantity; •Preserving the safety and security of our community; •Developing and implementing plans to cope with water scarcity; •Helping residents access high-speed internet; •Pursuing economically viable ways to underground utility lines. As we continue to be

good stewards of our resources and the natural beauty that surrounds us, Rancho Santa Fe can be a role model for communities everywhere. 4. What, if anything, would you change about how the RSF Association operates? I am not looking to change anything that operates so well. I’d like to see the emphasis continue to be proactive rather than just reactive — although we have the staff and resources that enable us to react to any crisis quickly and well. I’d like to be a part of the financial planning for our future that can balance our immediate and short-term desires with the long-range objectives that will best serve the entire community. Perhaps the most important thing I have learned about RSF is not just that we live in a very special place, but that almost all of us— whether we have lived here for decades or for just a few years — view this community as a family. We work best when we view each other with mutual respect and when we can face the challenges of the future together. I would be honored to serve on this Association’s board as it leads the way in meeting our challenges.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Wake up Rancho Santa Fe, what is happening to our town? When the downtown area was planned I am certain the “Founding Fathers” of Rancho Santa Fe envisioned lovely little shops where people would come to town and shop, socialize, eat and meet with their neighbors to enjoy our beautiful weather in our beautiful town. I first came to Rancho Santa Fe in 1962. It had a wonderful “small town” neighborly feeling which made me want to live here. When upon my return in 1982 it still reflected that early attitude, I knew I had to live here. There were the Two Goats for clothing, a hardware store, Ashleys, Rosie’s and many other retail stores and restaurants like Quimbys. Of course, Country Friends was also here. By the time we opened our gallery 21 years ago there were still quite a few retail shops in the Village. Unfortunately over the years, we have seen them disappear one by one. These retail establishments left, only to be replaced by Realtors, banks, or other financial institutions. They even wanted to take away our Village market, and only after a long expensive legal battle were they able to stay and continue their business. There are only two retail corners left on Paseo Delicias — The McNally Company Antiques and Martin Katz Jewelers. The other corners are all Realtors with one bank and an insurance company. This year alone, we have seen four new real estate offices open and three new banks. The more Realtors we have the less parking

we have. Parking has been an issue for the entire 21 years that we have been here. Bertrand at Mille Fleurs contracted for a valet parking service to try and bring people in for lunch, who otherwise could not find parking. However, this didn’t work as no one wanted to use the valet. Today they are only open for lunch three days a week. Lack of parking struck again. I can’t tell you how many clients have called to say they circled the block three times and there was no place to park so they left. This lack of parking has put quite a number of people out of business, only to have their shops replaced by another bank or Realtor. It may be time for the Association to do something about this problem to see if there is a way to turn it around. Many others towns and villages restrict the number of the same- type businesses. Others control parking by using parking meters where one meter covers an entire block. In our 21 years of fighting for parking, we have learned people do not pay attention to the time limits posted on the curbs, especially since the RSF Patrol has no authority to enforce them. We have seen many changes and not all of them good. Hopefully something can be done before retail disappears altogether from the Village and we become a financial business center, giving people no reason to shop or visit Rancho Santa Fe. A solution must be found before it is too late! Connie McNally The McNally Company Antiques

Planet X Television captures extreme sports around globe BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Few may know that the building simply marked with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xâ&#x20AC;? in the area just west of Rancho Santa Fe is actually home to a television production studio. Planet X Television has been in its space off Jimmy Durante Boulevard for a year, where extreme and action sports-related shows are produced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[This area] is really the epicenter of San Diego, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central to everything,â&#x20AC;? said Don Durban, who co-founded Planet X in 1995 and moved the company to Del Mar from Encinitas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cool place to be, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upscale without the flash and I think people here are very grounded, which I likeâ&#x20AC;Ś Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here for the long haul.â&#x20AC;? Planet X airs several times a week on 200 stations in the United States and the Caribbean. Locally, you can find shows on Channel 4 San Diego and My Network 13, as well as streaming on the Planet X website (www.planetx.tv). Episodes feature everything from deep-sea fishing for marlin in Cabo to free skiers launching off mountains in Crested Butte, Colo.

They also seek to showcase events at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, such as Professional Bull Riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Promoting the fairgrounds and the community is part of what we do here,â&#x20AC;? said Durban, who has been keeping a close eye on the situation involving Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential purchase of the fairgrounds. He said he hopes thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good resolution between the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fighting factions.â&#x20AC;? Currently, Planet X is ramping up for a busy 16th year. Durban said they are soon looking to expand on their Del Mar space, adding a bigger studio. Additionally, a national Planet X TV tour will kick off next month with an RV loaded with hosts and athletes visiting 100 cities over the course of two months.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Canyon Crest’s rookie robotics team wins division championship at international competition Canyon Crest Academy’s rookie robotics team, de.evolution, took first place in its division and second place overall in the worldwide FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competition held this past weekend in St. Louis. Beginning last fall, 1,600 teams of 10 members each from around the world competed in regional tournaments, for an invitation to the international competition. Of those 1,600 teams, 128 winning teams were invited to compete in St. Louis – among them de.evolution, which won first place in its first regional competition in December in Los Angeles. At the international tournament, the 128 teams (representing 1,280 students) were divided into two divisions of 64 teams each. Two days of qualifying matches eliminated all but four teams from each division. The four teams then played against one another, and de.evolution won its division handily with a spunky little robot, innovative programming and nimble maneuverability.

With 11 team members in ninth and 10th grades, de. evolution was formed just this year and was classified as a rookie team. The Canyon Crest students competed head-to-head against older teams with more experience that had been together for years. The FTC game this year was developed with input from professional robotics designers, engineers and sensor experts from across the country. The game – called “Get Over It!” – is played on a 12foot by 12-foot square field, with two periods of play. The first period, when teams program their robots to move independently, is called an “autonomous” period, which lasts 40 seconds. The second period is driver-controlled and last two minutes. The robots are about 18 inches all around and resemble mini, open-air tanks. The object of the game is to move robots to baton dispensers positioned around the field, retrieve the batons which are made of six-inch PVC tubes, and place the ba-

De-Evolution team members were all smiles in St. Louis after learning they qualified for the final matches. Pictured are, from left, Tristan Murphy, Ryan Lee, Nic Stone, Maia Kuspa, Annabelle Mercer, Noah SuttonSmolin and Yousuf Soliman.

Bridges, cliffs and a “mountain” challenge the robots to “get over” the obstacles to reach their goal. Points are awarded for balancing on the bridges and for various other moves, depending upon difficulty. The robotics kit consisted of 11 motors, nine sensors, two game controllers, wireless communications and metal gears, and all required hardware building materials. Each team designed and built a uniquely constructed robot, resulting in competitions with

no two robots alike. Objectives were to construct a mechanism to grasp and place batons, to write software to enable the robot to move autonomously and be controlled by a driver, and to master sensor use, mechanical challenges, infrared tracking, magnet seeking, line following, balancing, withstanding impact, and traversing over bridges, cliffs and other obstacles. The four-day competition, held April 27-30, included an evening concert by the Black-Eyed Peas and featured will.i.am who gave robotics

some star power with words of encouragement for the thousands of students in the audience to continue their interest in science, engineering and technology. Held at the 550,000-square-foot America’s Center and Edward Jones Dome convention center complex in St. Louis, FIRST’s international gathering brought together 11,064 students from 29 countries, 5,247 mentors and coaches, 700 event volunteers including judges and referees – and 561 robots of various shapes, sizes and abilities. Based in Manchester, New Hampshire, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded by inventor Dean Kamen in 1989. A nonprofit organization, FIRST [www.usfirst.org] sponsors robotic competitions globally to motivate young students to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology. FIRST offers four competitions: the Junior FIRST LEGO League for students ages 6 to 9, FIRST LEGO League for stu-

dents ages 9 to 14, and two high school competitions – FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). FTC, according to FIRST, offers students the chance to design, build and program robots; get hands-on programming and rapid-prototyping experience; apply real-world math and science concepts; document the engineering process; develop problem-solving, organizational and teambuilding skills; learn cooperation and professionalism; and qualify for $10 million in college scholarship money. Assessments by experts have concluded that robotics participants develop an increased understanding of basic science principles, the engineering design process, research, planning, collaboration, mentorship, teamwork, and how technology can be used to solve real-world problems. Canyon Crest Academy is one of four comprehensive high schools in the San Dieguito Union High School District.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

HIKE continued from page 1

The Rancho Santa Fe group is an interesting mix of people, both Rotarians and residents. There are seven doctors and six attorneys, some well known residents such as Tom Montgomery, Dick Showen and his wife Lauren, former RSF Association board members Steve Shillington and Bill Beckman, RSF Fire Board President Jim Ashcraft and his wife Alyce. The group started practice hikes for the “aggressive” rim to rim journey in April 2010, with their first journey to the outdoor clothing and equipment store REI one of their most expensive meet-ups, Smith joked. Smith said they have worked up to about three hikes a month, logging about 250 miles. “We try to hit a different hike in San Diego County each time, getting ready for the Grand Canyon with exposure to dif-

DRIVES continued from page 2 During its April 27 meeting, the council discussed making this a multiphased project that would include landscaping once the final configurations are determined. Based on feedback provided during that meeting, city staff will now reassess the design plans. This area is one of Solana Beach’s few prominent gateways, so many residents and council members have recommended that the area be enhanced with a new entryway sign. Several neighbors have also expressed concern over speeding drivers in this area, which is especially a concern because pedestrians walk along these streets to reach the nearby San Dieguito County Park. Those issues prompted city staff to launch the project,

ferent types of trails,” Smith said. They’ve done flatter and shorter six-mile hikes and longer, higher elevation hikes. “There’s a lot of countryside we’ve seen that we never knew existed in San Diego, varied in beauty and level of challenge,” Galvin said. This weekend on May 7 they will do their “test hike,” a steep, 10-11-hour, 18-miler at 4,000 feet of elevation on Iron Mountain in east Poway designed to really prepare the team for the long hike that lies ahead. “We reckon if we can do that, then we’re ready for the Grand Canyon,” Galvin said. The crew will set off on their cross-canyon trip from the North Rim. The north is the less frequented side as it’s harder to get to, Smith said. While the South Rim gets about 5 million visitors a year, the North Rim sees about 300,000. Arriving on Wednesday, May 25, they will spend two to three days doing shorter

hikes around the north rim, with cocktail receptions nightly. “There’s a patio that juts out over the canyon where we can watch the sunset and figure out how we’re going to get across and back in one piece,” Smith said, On May 28, a group of 30 will tackle the Rim to Rim, starting at about 4 a.m. A group that is not doing the cross canyon will drive their cars four hours to the South Rim to meet them. Smith has been impressed by the number of people who have stuck with the program, many of whom have never hiked before and a handful who have never seen the Grand Canyon. “Usually the drop-off rate is about 70 percent but this time it’s very, very low,” Smith said. Galvin is looking forward to the sense of accomplishment—he equates the hike to running a marathon and said it is something he can’t wait to cross off his bucket list.

and last October a contract was awarded to Project Design Consultant (PDC). The current intersection is controlled by fourway stop signs, and is rather wide with no sidewalks, making it difficult for pedestrians to cross. Adding to the challenge, the northeast quadrant of this intersection is entirely within the County of San Diego’s jurisdiction and the county has no plans to help Solana Beach with any design or costs related to this project. The design team also explored the option of a four-lane roundabout in this intersection, but determined that would require the right-of-way in all four quadrants, which the city does not have. The team also looked at possibly doing a one-lane roundabout, but that was deemed too costly.

SPITCAUFSKY continued from page 3 sue but how you will deal with many. 4. What, if anything, would you change about how the RSF Association operates? Not at this time. I would want to continue being financially responsible. Systems and procedures can always be reviewed and improved. I would support any changes that keep the covenant competitive with the other affluent communities we compete with in Southern California. Residents have choices were their families live and the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant should always be the first choice for current and new residents!

RSF residents cast in Flower Drum Song at La Jolla Playhouse May 12 - June 12

RSF Rotarian’s sculptures featured at solo exhibit RSF Rotary member Gary Mayers is shown above at his recent solo exhibition of sculptures at the NTID Dyer Arts Center at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Six of Mayers’ sculptures are in the permanent collection of art at RIT.

San Diego Asian American Repertory Theater (SDAART), in residence at La Jolla Playhouse, presents Flower Drum Song: A Musical Revival in Concert (2010). Based on the legendary Broadway musical (1958), popular movie (1961), and modern revival (2002), Flower Drum Song follows Mei-Li, who flees Mao’s Communist China and immigrates to San Francisco in the 1950’s. She struggles to balance tradition and assimilation while looking for love. It also explores inter-generational conflict as Wang, the owner of an old-fashioned opera house, resists his son who wants to turn it into a nightclub in pursuit of the American dream. “Flower Drum Song has a rich and controversial history Jane Mezzino and deserves the highest honor in the canon of Asian American theater. We are thrilled to bring the West Coast premiere of the revival in concert to San Diego, especially during May - Asian Heritage month,” says Elise Kim Prosser, Ph.D., president of SDAART, Rancho Santa Fe resident, and cast member. Jane Mezzino, also a Ranch resident, is the youngest cast member in the show at the age of 12. Flower Drum Song was the first musical to feature Asian Americans on Broadway and in a popular movie. The modernized revival (2002) written by Tony-Award winning playwright David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly), was well-received in New York and Los Angeles. Variety described it as “a bold theatrical operation, an artistic success.” The beloved music is by Richard Rodgers with lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II. The original book was by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joseph Fields and was inspired by the novel by C.Y. Lee. Ticket information: May 12 - June 12; Thursday, Friday, Sat- Elise Kim Prosser as Madame Liang with urday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Reserve tickets by email: sdaarttix@gmail.com or call 619–940-5891.

Pulitzer Prize-winning drama ‘August: Osage County’ unfolds BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor “August: Osage County” is set in Oklahoma where three generations of the Weston family have lived, struggled, got along, not gotten along, and grown. When the patriarch, Beverly, suddenly disappears, there are many mysteries to uncover and secrets to unveil about his disappearance. As the family deals with the horrific occurrence, each scene reveals how they really feel toward one another. The dark, yet sometimes humorous, “August: Osage County” has only been around for a few years but has racked up much audience praise and many awards, including a 2008 Tony Award for Best Play, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Written by Tracy Letts and directed by Obie Award-winner Sam Gold, the play runs through June 12 at the Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park.

The couple has performed together in “Talley’s Folly,” and the “Spring Awakening” tour that included a San Diego stop. They said they are thrilled to be appearing in “Osage County.” “It’s a major work of modern American Theater,” said Ceveris who portrays Sheriff Deon Gilbeau. “Audiences around the country have found it a very significant and profound play.”

Reed, who plays the eldest daughter of the Weston Family, Barbara Fordham, said the company is aided by a few of the original cast members. “Kimberly Guerrero, originated the role of Johnna, and played it on Broadway, in Chicago, London and Sydney. We’re fortunate to have her and a few others who played replacements on Broadway, including Guy Boyd (Charlie Aiken) and Robert Foxworth (Beverly Weston),” Reed said. “All of them have been able to offer some insight during difficult moments. “This play is just brilliant.

Learn what American Islam ‘is about’ at community center BY JOE TASH Contributor The worshippers bent forward in rows, touching their foreheads to the carpet as the amplified chants of the imam rose above their backs and a warm breeze drifted through the building’s open doors. The assembly, men in front and women in back, faced to the northeast, toward Mecca. The Friday worship service, called Jummah after the Arabic word for “gathering,” took place in a square beige-stucco building in North County’s Santaluz community, at the newly built Muslim Community Center of Greater San Diego. The center opened in August, nine years after a small group of San Diego Muslims began holding prayer sessions at a strip mall in Rancho Peñasquitos. Today, the Muslim Center is located on a 5-acre parcel of land owned by its members. “It’s the best thing to happen to us,” said Naim

Taha Hassane Bhatti, a center volunteer and board member. “Now we have a place to call our own.” “The idea is not just to have a place for Muslims to come and pray, but something to help us interact with the surrounding community,” said board member Irfan Zaman. “A sense of pride and ownership and showcasing in a very positive fashion what American Islam is about.”

The center quickly outgrew its humble beginnings, said Shamus Sayed, a spokesman for the community center who recently took a reporter and photographer on a tour of the building. “We were busting out the doors,” of the storefront mosque in Rancho Peñasquitos, he said. Although land zoned for religious use can be hard to find, Sayed said, the center’s members came across the Santaluz parcel near where Sayed’s family lives. The parcel was for sale, and the group began raising money for the project. The community center cost $5.5 million, about half for the land and half for the building, said Sayed. In the future, the group plans to build a separate mosque on the property and use the building they have now for a community center. Sayed said the community center has about 500 members including children and adults, most of whom live in Rancho

Along with daily prayer services and the larger Friday Jummah service, the center hosts classes on the Quran, the Muslim holy book, Arabic studies and other topics for both children and adults. The center contains a large kitchen where after-prayer meals are prepared, and restrooms for men and women that include spigots where ritual ablutions, or the washing of hands and feet, can be conducted. Lining the corridor that runs around the interior of the building are classrooms decorated with children’s drawings and the center’s administrative offices. While mosques and Muslim centers have proved controversial in some communities -— strong opposition formed recently to a proposal to build a mosque in Temecula — the development of the Muslim Community Center in Santaluz went much more smoothly, said Sayed. The small amount of neighborhood opposition was more focused on issues such as noise and traffic than the religious views of the community center’s members, he said. The center has tried hard to be very

open with its plans and reach out to neighbors and homeowners associations, along with elected officials from city mayors to congressional representatives. The center is also in regular contact with the captain of the closest San Diego police substation, and a community outreach session is planned at the center by the San Diego FBI office, said Sayed. In the decade since the 9/11 attacks, Americans continue to harbor concerns about radical elements of Islam, as evidenced by a recent hearing convened by U.S. Rep. Peter King, R-New York, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. The purpose of the hearing, said King, was to address efforts by terrorist groups to recruit new members from the American Muslim community. King’s insistence on focusing the hearing on Islam triggered a heated debate. Closer to home, the Rancho Santa Fe Republican Women’s group in March hosted a presentation titled, “An Examination of Islam and Sharia Law,” featuring James Horn, billed as a former Middle East diplomat. “This fast growing movement has targeted YOU and clearly spells out radical Muslim’s deadly plans and ultimate goals. This message

is so vital, we invite ALL Christians (affiliated with a church or not) and ALL Jews (affiliated with a temple or not) to attend,” said the notice sent out regarding the presentation. Sayed said the community center has not been the target of anti-Islamic sentiments. “We’re very blessed, there haven’t been any sort of issues like that.” Imam Taha Hassane, who delivers Friday sermons at the center once a month and also conducts weekly classes, said the community center welcomes visitors of all faiths. In his sermon, he told worshippers that faith and morals are intertwined in Islam, and that good morals and behavior are as important to being a good Muslim as adherence to the religion’s rituals and beliefs. He later told a reporter, “This center is open for everybody. There is no one at the door asking people, ‘What’s your faith?’ I would like people to come here and hear the message we are giving as American Muslims.” “One of the biggest challenges we have is the misperceptions,” said Sayed. “We are not the people you see on the news… what you see here, this is the religion.” For more information, visit: www.gsdmcc.org

Choice New York Steak

BY WILL PARSON he fireplace at Brockton Villa is perhaps the most apparent hint to the beach bungalow’s storied past. It’s decorated with massive abalone shells that were collected at a time when they were plentiful in local waters and could easily reach a large diameter — long before overharvesting and current laws against their collection. Cemented in place over the original fireplace, the shiny shells represent a decorating fad that was widespread locally in the 1920s. It has since become harder to find. With many similar homes not lasting through the decades, the La Jolla Historical Society honored the renovated Brockton Villa in 2006. It remains one of the few glimpses into a bygone era. The restaurant is celebrating 20 years since the former site of Pannikin Coffee House was

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Click ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Brockton Villa’s Truffle Red Bliss Potato Salad renovated and renamed Brockton Villa — a name first given to the former residential cottage more than 100 years ago. A recent refresh has brought an updated feel to Brockton on its special anniversary, and this summer is the second in a row in which the restaurant is offering a dinner menu. Chef Mareyja Sisbarro points to the Ginger-Chili Glazed Natural

Salmon that she served for the first time at Brockton Villa last year, as a point of pride. Among the abundant array of seafood options, on a menu with a generally Mediterranean feel, the BBQ Pork Ribs also deserve a look. For an appetizer, try the Summer Shrimp Butter Leaf Wraps. Sisbarro says, “It fills you up but doesn’t make you too stuffed. It’s really fresh and summery.” And with summer approaching, the cottage above Coast Boulevard seems like an excellent way to take in the ocean breeze. With its airy main room and wrap-around porch, the original builders knew what they were doing back in 1894. At that time it was perfect for weekend getaways from the fledgling city of San Diego. And the current dining experience adds to a lingering charm from those early days.

Bishop student lands a role in The Globe’s ‘Life of Riley’ BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Sir Alan Ayckbourn, who received a special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theater, sees his 74th (and newest) play, “Life of Riley,” have its U.S. premiere at the Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park under the direction of Richard Seer, now through June 5. The Old Globe has staged 10 of Ayckbourn’s plays since 1978. Enter someone newer to the footlights, Rebecca Gold, a senior at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, who is making her first professional appearance in the role of Tilly. Gold played Celia in The Globe’s 2010 Shakespeare Intensive production of “As You Like It,” and caught a casting director’s eye. “I became aware of the Shakespeare Intensive program for students when our teacher saw an ad and told us about it,” Gold said. “I auditioned and got a call back along with 30 other San Diego students. It was an incredible opportunity to participate in workshops with professional actors and the Globe’s costume designers. I also enjoyed getting to meet new students. It felt a little like what going to college will be like.” Gold has been active in The Bishop’s School theater program and recently played Yvette in its production of “Mother Courage and Her Children.” Gold said she thought her experience with

The Globe was behind her until she received a call from casting director Samantha Barrie who told her she was impressed with Gold’s performances. “She called on my birthday to ask if I wanted the role of Tilly, and I was so excited,” Gold said. “They needed a 16-year-old girl for a nonspeaking part and I was thrilled to take it.” The lighthearted “Life of Riley” centers on the dying George Riley, a cantankerous (though never seen) old man. He decides to have a last farewell for his close friends, and when each one learns of his plight, they react in unexpected ways. “This is the story of three couples whose women have been involved with George in some way,” Gold said. “When he asks each woman to come on a holiday with him and take care of him in his final days, at first they agree. Eventually the women are convinced not to go.” While her thoughts are wrapped around her role, Gold said she is also focused on her future. Her family is supportive of her interest in acting because she said she grew up watching her older brother perform. She’s been accepted to Stanford University where she will begin this fall. “I feel like I have learned so much about myself, other people, and the way people react to one another as an actress,” Gold said. “It’s an

cause I want to continue my academic studies, but also my acting, and Stanford has both programs.”

Gold said she believes “Life of Riley” will appeal to a wide range of patrons because “it’s very fun, and George is like a hippie Peter Pan who never gets old and wants a fun life forever. “The play contains some great classic music,” she said, “and is easily relatable to everyone as they watch how couples see things change from their 30s to 40s and beyond.”

Teen Volunteers in Action (TVIA) honored 28 accomplished young men for their commitment to community and philanthropy at its annual Senior Send-Off Celebration on Sunday, May 1, from 2-4 p.m. at the Nativity School Activity Center in Rancho Santa Fe. The event also featured John Assaraf, a well-known motivational speaker, author and entrepreneur. Founded by Franci Free and Terri Matthews, TVIA engages boys from 7-12th grades in a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal development. “Involvement with TVIA and the philanthropies we serve helps boys grow into leadership roles throughout their high school years,” says TVIA President Susan Lyon. “Many of our graduates also find their service here inspires a real passion for service as they move forward into their adult lives.” The dedicated seniors who were honored on Sunday have completed more than 2,000 hours of community service since the seventh grade, notes Joni Parker, their Grade Level Advisor. Volunteer projects have included serving meals to the needy, cleaning up local beaches, restoring trails destroyed by wild fires, organizing events for refugee teens, stocking food banks and collecting donations for a variety of charitable causes. Honored seniors include: Nick Allman, Cole Canedy, Patrick Caron, Adam Ehdaie, Timothy James Elam, Kyle Filley, Michael Gennuso, Drew Gilmore, Max Gleicher, Nick Gruzdowich, Michael Kujawski, Reilly Marin, Michael Mezzino, Vic Millar, Taylor Murphy, August Nelson, Alexander Newberry, Marty Parker, Drew Pelisek, Steve Polito, Alexander Rock, Charles Roesser, Jared Salvati, John Shillington, Brent Thomas, Tyler Wait, Jack Weller and Michael Witous.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Nettle Creek Interiors brings unique styles to a variety of homes BY KAREN BILLING CONTRIBUTOR Although new to Del Mar, Nettle Creek Interiors has built a stellar reputation in San Diego and beyond after 40 years of making sure every client receives that special look paired with top quality and service. “We care what the client wants,” said founder Marsha Paine. “We try to give them what they want plus a little more.” Certified interior designers Paine and Rebecca Jessen work individually to freshen up rooms, do complete remodels or work with architects and builders as a house is built from the ground up. They work locally and globally, doing vacation homes in Hawaii to flats in London. Their showroom is full of pieces such as big cozy sofas, a variety of home accents and every kind of lighting from table lamps to chandeliers. Their extensive sample room allows clients to see and touch potential fabrics for walls, carpets, drapes, upholstery or custom bedding. “We design the old-fashioned way,” said Paine, nodding to their side-by-side drafting tables in the back where they sketch all their designs by hand. “We’re traditional designers but with a contemporary twist,” said Jessen. ”I think we both think young, I don’t think we’re stuffy designers.” Years of experience and knowledge in interior design serve as valuable tools and they can work quickly to create a design plan in two weeks or less—they don’t take months to come up with design solutions. Clients are never force-fed a design. Paine and Jessen will present a plan with three to four different sofas or seven different fabrics, giving clients a choice so they are a part of the process. “We try to make meetings with clients fun and upbeat,” said Paine. “People make better decisions if they’re relaxed

around for a long time and have developed a good reputation. Paine started the company with her husband Tom in 1972; their first store was in Grossmont Center. Jessen came along 18 years ago and the pair have been working so long together they’ve begun to consider each other sisters. They moved to Del Mar in November 2010 from the Golden Triangle area. “We absolutely love it here,” said Paine of their showroom. These days Nettle Creek is seeing a lot of remodeling work. “That’s good for us, we do that well,” Jessen said. The trend in styles is moving away from Tuscaninspired and toward a clean, traditional look. Gray is a top new neutral color and Paine said people are really paying more attention to artwork in their home as focal points. To learn more about Nettle Creek, visit nettlecreekdesign.com or call (858) 461-4366. The showroom is located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd., suite 130.

Your Family Matters: Planning ahead for summer with kids BY DR. KEITH KANNER Planning ahead for a successful summer is important for the mental health of the child and parent alike. Many parents wait until the very last minute to schedule activities Dr. Keith Kanner for their child, creating problems with scheduling and camps filling up quickly. Another common pitfall is either allowing the child free reign about their summer activities or, on the other hand, the parent micromanaging the activities of their child’s summer. Parents need to both ask themselves what they believe is in the best interest of their child over the summer, as well as consult with their child to determine their understood needs as well. Ideally, summertime should be a balance between scheduled activities and play for the child. Time should be scheduled for activi-

ties such as camps, academic remediation, if necessary, and plenty of time for rest and play with friends. Summer is also a time to try new skills that often cannot be attempted during the school year because of too many time constraints (i.e. taking up a musical instrument). Finally, summer is also an important time for families to spend time together on vacation or merely enjoying each other’s company. Referencing activities, the attentive parent should be the one to introduce the concept of a balanced summer to their child and then discuss options with them allowing the child some choice in the type of scheduled activities they will participate within. (i.e. the type of camp they may attend; a type of sport to learn). Children and adolescents are not capable of doing this alone. Once determined, it is important to find programs which are organized, have a low staff to camper ratio, have good reputations and are — importantly — fun. Balancing fun camps and activities with some academic or artistic activity helps

keeps the child’s mind in learning shape and often makes the transition back to school in the fall an easier transition. Research shows that a scheduled and balanced summer also leads to higher self-esteem, greater productivity, less anxiety and opposition, and more harmony around the house. Parents following these recommendations are less anxious as well. Key Points: 1. Parents: Introduce the concept of a balanced summer 2. Plan out activities in advance and put on a schedule 3.

If you are selling a home or estate in Rancho Santa Fe, read this... Prime Real Estate in Rancho Santa Fe is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?

How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Rancho Santa Fe properties. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www.ranchosantafereview.com searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 51 countries in March, 2011 and generated 5,312 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily

What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in Rancho Santa Fe can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. Rancho Santa Fe real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, Rancho Santa Fe real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.

The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families

Making love last By Diana WeissWisdom, Ph.D. My wife and I have been married for over 30 years. Our relationship has always been a like little Jack Horner; when it’s good, it’s wonderful, but when it’s bad, it’s horrible. Overall Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom though, it’s been more good than bad. We really do love each other. About six months ago, I had a heart attack. Both of us thought that would put an end to our fighting and bring us closer. But it’s almost like the opposite has happened. Our bickering isn’t as severe, but there’s a constant strain between us. I need our relationship to be smoother and calmer. I’ve heard that some relationships have their own personality that can’t be changed. Is that true? Or is it possible to change a marriage after all these years? — Ready for a change Dear Ready, When a person has a heart attack, it often inspires them to re-evaluate their life and their relationships. Whether that change involves having a closer relationship with your wife or not, your health scare may become a catalyst to change. You may have tolerated the ups and downs in your marriage because you love each other and didn’t

know how to do it differently. You also had the stamina to do it! It is worth exploring the reasons why you don’t get along some of the time, and what you can do about it. After a cardiac event such as yours, it’s normal to feel some anxiety, depression, and exhaustion. People often wonder if they will ever feel the same again. And by the way, the ups and downs in your marriage are not good for your heart (or anyone’s for that matter). The quality of our relationships has a lot to do with our immune systems and our physical resiliency. With some committed effort on both of your parts, odds are good that you can improve your life long love affair. Often what people think that they are arguing about is not the real source of the conflict. Usually, underneath it all, we all want to be understood, accepted, loved, or fears of being hurt or abandoned) that are hard to talk about because it makes us feel vulnerable. When a couple has a heart attack (because in a way it has ‘happened’ to both of you), lots of feelings and fears can get shaken up. If you and your wife were to slow things way down and really listen and try to understand each other, you will probably hear a deep longing to feel safe and loved by each other. Heart attacks jar us out of our habitual complacency. You and your wife can benefit from: •Learning what emotional needs are underneath the bickering; •Being especially kind and caring toward one another at your greatest time of

RSF dietician newly certified to help patients with difficult health problems Peggy Korody, a registered dietitian and owner of RD4Health‚ Nutrition Counseling, LLC and resident of Rancho Santa Fe, has recently passed the examination to become a Certified LEAP Therapist. The LEAP Program (Lifestyle, Eating and Performance) is a strategic method of dealing with the dietary components of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), migraines, fibromyalgia, joint and muscle pain, fatigue, vomiting, chronic sinusitis and other symptoms caused by delayed food sensitivities. IBS, migraine, and fibromyalgia affect 60,000,000 Americans. Roughly 2/3 of them are women. Unfortunately, conventional treatments (including pharmaceutical therapies) are very often unsuccessful. Diet is typically the area that gets the least amount of attention but in most cases is the key for the patient to find relief. Food sensitivities are much more common than food allergies, says David Goodman, MD, Allergy and Asthma Consultants of the Rockies in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. In a true food allergy, the immune system produces antibodies and histamine in response to the specific food, according to the National Library of Medicine. The subsequent symptoms include itching, wheezing, cramping, swelling and anaphylactic shock - which can occur within minutes and result in death. Food sensitivities produce delayed reactions — from a few hours to several days — and commonly affect the gastrointestinal tract, experts say. For more information, contact Peggy Korody via email pkorody@RD4Health.com or phone (858)401-9936; www.RD4Health.com.

Chit &Chat

HIS NAME IS COLE, and he is the very talented Korean owner of the Magnificent Hair Salon, located in the Henry’s Shopping Center, Encinitas. Not only can he give professional haircuts (for $14), but he is a dedicated citizen and is a hospice volunteer in order to “give back” to the country that has treated him so well. Cole is one of the “boat people” who came here at great risk; his work is meticulous, and he has great empathy for the older generation. You can drop in at the Magnificent Hair Salon, for example, and just have your hair washed ($8)..nothing more! What a boon for us who style our own hair, but have trouble with washing it. Of course, Cole and his staff do everything else that Beauty Salons do: styling, permanents, coloring, pedicures, manicures and more. Walk ins are welcome, but the phone number for the Magnificent Hair Salon in Encinitas is 756-436-4111. Their prices are very low, results are great...and if you fall in the “older generation” category, you will be treated with very special care. This is the way Cole believes in “giving back”! IF YOU WANT TO FLY ON A WEEKEND, look online just after 9 p.m. on Thursday night. That’s when weekend deals are posted. Otherwise, book online around midnight any day of the week to get the latest updates and your best chance of discounts. To shop around and know what’s a good deal, visit www.farecast.com. There, you can check both the history and future projections of prices for the flights you want. DON’T LET THE HERBS from your herb garden go to waste.
