RSF Association board denies Covenant modification for senior housing project BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Rancho Santa Fe Association board denied July 21 a Covenant modification for a proposed senior housing community located off Del Dios Highway. In a 5-1 vote, with Jack Dorsee the sole holdout, the board sided with the Art Jury’s recommendation that the Quantum Villas project was too dense and would negatively impact the rural character and ambiance of the community. RSF Association board president Jack Queen said approving the 38-unit project would be a “complete violation” of the recent Covenant-wide survey’s results in which 61 percent of respondents ranked preserving community character as the Association’s highest priority, “This community is a community of land owners and building sites, not a community of condos,” said director Dick Doughty. “To start down that road, making more density, is just the wrong direction to take. The density is the one thing that makes Rancho Santa Fe so unique.” The directors said they had nothing against senior housing—“I think the project is well thought-out and wellplanned. I think it would be a terrific [senior] community… someplace else,” Queen said. See SENIOR, page 22

Del Mar City Council members say fairgrounds purchase effort still alive BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Rumors of the death of the city of Del Mar’s bid to buy the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds are greatly exaggerated, City Council members said Monday. In comments at a July 25 City Council meeting, council members downplayed the significance of published reports that a group of horse owners led by businessman Mike Pegram — which had verbally agreed to put up $30 million toward the purchase — has dropped out of the deal. “The conclusion that the purchase of the fairgrounds is dead because that horseman’s group has pulled out seems to me premature,” said Mayor Don Mosier, in providing an update to the full council on the status of the purchase effort. “There’s a lot happening, it’s not dead,” said

Councilman Mark Filanc, who, along with Mosier, heads up the city’s efforts to buy the fairgrounds. “It’s working. It’s a glacial process.” Last year, before former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger left office, Del Mar reached an agreement with the state to buy the 400-plus-acre fairgrounds — which includes a horseracing track and grandstands — for $120 million. The property comprises 20 percent of Del Mar’s 1.8-square-mile footprint. Of that amount, the city planned to borrow $45 million by selling bonds, raise another $45 million through a loan from the state, and the final $30 million was to have come from the group of horsemen. In an interview published July 9 in the Thoroughbred Times, Pegram reSee FAIRGROUNDS, page 22

Cost of employee retirement benefits most critical financial issue facing water district, director says BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Compensation and expense reimbursements for elected directors of the Santa Fe Irrigation District totaled $40,902 for the fiscal year that ended June 30, according to a report issued by the district. The report — which is required under state law to be compiled annually — was included on the board’s agenda for its meeting on Thursday, July 21. The total includes per diem payments for attending meetings, along with reimbursement for mileage and parking, travel, office supplies and telephone charges incurred for district business, according to the report. Director Augie Daddi, who lost his bid for re-election

last year, received $2,000 in per diem payments before leaving office. The other members of the board received the following amounts: Director Ken Dunford, $8,600; Director Michael Hogan, $8,824; Director John Ingalls, $11,613; and Director Robert “Bud” Irvin, $9,864. Director Andy Menshek, who won his seat in November, declined to receive per diem payments or expense reimbursements. However, all five members of the board receive medical and dental benefits paid for by the district, which totaled $58,215 for the most recent fiscal year. “I take the medical and I feel that’s compensation enough for what I do,” said Menshek, regarding his decision not to accept the per diem or reimbursement payments.

Flower Hill upgrade construction continues despite dispute between public agencies BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Construction on a controversial expansion and renovation project at the Flower Hill Promenade mall will continue for now, despite a stop-work order issued by the California Coastal Commission which carries potential fines of $15,000 per day. At issue is a territorial dispute between the commission, which regu-

lates development up and down the California coast, and the city of San Diego. Each entity contends it has the authority to approve the $25 million project at the popular shopping center on Via De La Valle east of Interstate 5. In April, the San Diego City Council unanimously approved the project, and construction began in July. However, the Coastal Commission contends that it has jurisdiction

over the land where the mall sits, and must be the agency to issue a coastal development permit. On Friday, the commission posted a stop-work order at the construction site. Attorney Robin Madaffer, who represents the mall’s owner, Protea Properties, said the company believes the city has the legal authority to issue the permit, which it has done. See UPGRADE, page 19

Buzz: Support RSF Village businesses; RSF Association board briefs; Priorities set at Association board retreat July 21 meeting BY RSF ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT JACK QUEEN I mentioned in my first Buzz article that I would be working on ways to encourage support Jack Queen of the Village retail merchants and the Village core. One of the best ways to do this is to get the word out as to the services that are available in the Village. At least once a month, we will be inviting a Village merchant to the board meeting to give the board and the members, through the local newspapers that cover our meetings, some insight to our local merchants. We couldn’t have started this program with a better representative of business owners than this week’s guest, Tim Cusac. Tim is the owner of Caffe Positano, Rancho Sandwich Shop and Great Coffee Makes Me Smile in Rancho Santa Fe. It

was clear from Tim’s comments that he takes a great deal of pride in his business and the service he provides our community. Over 90 percent of his business comes from repeat customers. All of Tim’s salads and sandwiches are made fresh daily and I can tell you from first-hand experience that they are great; my favorite is his freshly made bran muffins. Once again, I encourage you to support the businesses that support us. Have a coffee at Caffe Positano and tell Tim that Jack sent you! Last week the Association board held its annual planning retreat to set our goals and objectives for the year. The retreat is a twoday event that takes a close look at all of the issues and potential projects facing the community. At the end of our review we identify the projects that are in the best interest of the membership and will help us protect the rural character of Rancho Santa Fe. This year we had the advantage of using the Long Range Planning Committee’s report and the community survey to help us set

our priorities. At the conclusion of the retreat all of the board members agreed that the number one priority this year will be to address the issue of broadband coverage for the community. We are in the process of putting together a committee to take on this task and we are still looking for volunteers. I will keep you posted on additional priorities this year and our progress. I will admit that the retreats are not all work. One of the highlights this year was the opportunity to have dinner with our spouses at the beautiful Inn at RSF. There are lots of things in the pipeline, not the least of which is continuing work on the Osuna Adobe and environs. Quite a few of us got to view it up close at last weeks’ Historical Society Home Tour — a beautiful and very successful event. We will keep you updated on the Osuna’s progress. Don’t forget to come by and see your board hard at work. The coffee is good and the meetings are fun— just ask Sam Ursini. Next meeting is Aug. 4 at 9 a.m. See you around the Village.

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Liens placed on delinquent Association members’ homes Twelve liens will be placed on Rancho Santa Fe Association properties as the owners have missed their assessment payments. Steve Comstock, chief financial officer, said the liens are the final steps in the collection process, along with the suspension of membership privileges. “This is where the teeth come out,” Comstock said, noting individuals will often pay up when the lien is threatened. The 12 owners on the list are delinquent on their first and second installments of their 2010-11 assessments. Of the 12 individuals, two are responsible for $40,000, which is two-thirds of the total delinquent amounts owed. Comstock said the delinquencies are a reflection of what has happened in the economy over the last years. Last year liens were placed on 17 parcels, so having only 12 with two making up the majority of the amount owed is a significant improvement. The Association has been diligent but not too aggressive in its collection efforts, and over the last month the Association has brought the number down from 32 delinquent members owing a total of $120,000 to 23 members with under $60,000 owed.

Village business challenges discussed The Rancho Santa Fe Association board has started a new feature at its meetings, inviting village merchants in to talk about their businesses and discuss how the Association can help them. Tim Cusac, owner of Caffe Positano and Rancho Sandwich, was the first to pay the board a visit. President Jack Queen, a fan of Positano’s coffee and bran muffins, asked Cusac if he didn’t run a coffee shop, what other kind of business did he think might work in the village? “That’s the million dollar question,” Cusac said. Cusac, who has owned both businesses since 2005, said it is definitely a challenge to own a business in the village with top issues being the lack of parking and the high cost of rents. He said he thinks many merchants may come into the area thinking the streets are “paved with gold” and misunderstand how to create a product and quality of service that suits the people in RSF. Cusac said it’s been very difficult to keep the sandwich shop going over the last couple of years. “I am absolutely unwilling to walk away,” Cusac said. “It’s really not easy and the rents are a very significant piece of that.”

RSF teen experiences Marine-style boot camp through ‘Devil Pups’ BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Rancho Santa Fe teenager Blake Chaffin recently survived “10 days of craziness” at the Devil Pups program at Camp Pendleton, a physically and mentally challenging Marine-style boot camp. Devil Pups, a nonprofit organization that is not sponsored by the Marines, aims to teach teens about self-confidence, teamwork and the importance of goals. The program borrows its name from the Marines’ Devil Dogs nickname. Blake dominated the final Devil Pup challenge, besting Old Smokey, a huge mountain that they had to climb two miles up at a “ridiculous” 70-degree angle. Blake made it to the top first out of over 300 kids and was honored by receiving a challenge coin from a first general of the Marine Corps. “It was an honor to shake hands with a guy like that,” said Blake, an incoming sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy. To attend Devil Pups,

Blake first had to apply to be able to attend and complete a physical fitness test. He was in good shape as he plays lacrosse, but he also prepared for his 10-day camp by going for runs and doing push-ups and sit-ups around the house. Dan Lara, the barber at the Rancho Santa Fe Barber Salon in the village, supplied him with his buzz cut. “The first three days were awful,” Blake said of adjusting to the encampment commanders’ constant yelling and getting in trouble for things like scratching your nose or not making eye contact. Blake said his “brain clicked” after those first few days and he got used to getting up at 4 a.m. on little sleep, the yelling and eating Marine Corps-style MREs (Meal, Ready to Eat)—Blake said the Buffalo chicken had the consistency of pudding. “The program isn’t for the faint at heart, there are some things that are really difficult,” Blake said, noting on the first day three boys were crying as they made

their beds. Twenty boys would drop out of the program. Overcoming your fears

and doubts was a daily challenge. One day the Pups had to jump off a ledge into a pool. They started at 15

feet, moving up to 25 and 35-foot jumps. “I’m terrified of heights like that,” Blake said, but he made it into a leap of faith and walked off all of the ledges. “You feel so much better afterward. You feel so much more capable. They tear down everything you’ve known up to then and make you better than you were, and stronger. They build you back up.” The Pups walked in formation, ran five miles on the beach one day and completed a mud run course on another. The mud run included drills of pushups, sit-ups and jumping jacks in between running and crawling through the sludge of mud—Blake thought it was more fun than punishment. One night they camped outside, sleeping with nothing more than a poncho. Blake had noticed all the little holes in the ground where they had set up camp, thinking they were some kind of rodents. The holes were actually home to tarantulas—Blake spotted

one crawling on a fellow Pups’ face in the middle of the night. The Pups were trained to work as a team, if one person in their platoon made a mistake, the whole group was punished. They weren’t allowed to say the words “I, mine, my or me”—only “This Devil Pup,” a very difficult adjustment. They also had to respond to everything with a loud “Aye, aye Sir,” a habit that was hard to break even when he got home. The first thing Blake did after his July 16 graduation was go to In-N-Out, where he downed two double doubles, two animalstyle fries and a strawberry shake. Then he slept like a baby. Blake will take leave from his “10 days of craziness” with a relaxing trip with his Boy Scout troop. Troop 766 is heading to Florida for a sailboat fishing excursion. He said it’ll be close quarters, but he’s used to it. After Devil Pups, he’s ready for just about anything.

Rancho Santa Fe Patrol reports unique thefts The RSF Patrol reported on its blog site July 21 that it has taken reports for the theft of “Back flow Preventer Manifolds,” the ‘“U”-shaped pipe object coming out of the ground —usually near a water meter.” “It’s made to prevent water back-flowing through the pipes into one’s plumbing.” The pipes are being stolen for the brass or copper value of the metal, according to the Patrol. The stolen valves are taken to a metal recyclers and the crooks try to get cash for

them, the Patrol blog said. Changes in the laws prevent an immediate handout of cash — the recycling dealer has to take the person’s name and information and contact the authorities before handing over the cash, according to the Patrol. The Patrol said both cases it investigated occurred late at night. If anyone sees a car or truck stopped on the side of the road that looks suspicious, call the Patrol at 858756-4372.

Bill helps Del Mar’s Surfside Race Place take more wagers on out-of-state racing Del Mar’s Surfside Race Place will be able to take wagers on, and show more live, out-ofstate horse races after a bill by Assemblyman Martin Garrick, R-Solana Beach, was signed into law July 15. Off-site wagering facilities at race tracks and fairs had been limited to showing 32 out-of-state races per day, but that number will be increased to 50 by the bill, which was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Well-known races like the Kentucky Derby do not count against the limit. The bill, which sailed through the Legislature without opposition, was designed to stabilize business at the tracks, which have suffered declining attendance because of the weak economy. The tracks have become more dependent on their satellite wagering offerings to make ends meet, according to a legislative analysis. Also, since tracks can show more events from outside the state, similar facilities elsewhere would be more likely to reciprocate by airing California races, which would also increase revenue. As an emergency measure, the change will take effect immediately. — City News Service

New luxury theaters now open at Del Mar Highlands Town Center By Karen Billing Staff Writer Imagine a movie theater where, as you’re reclining in a leather chair to catch the last “Harry Potter” movie, you can order up sushi or chocolate-covered popcorn at the press of button. That unique, elevated movie-going experience is here now at the Del Mar Highlands’ new Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas, which opened July 22. Close to $7 million was plugged into the former UltraStar Cinema to bring it up to the luxury level, a new concept for the United States from Cinepolis, a Mexican theater chain. “We’re here to become part of the community,” said Carlos Wellman, Cinepolis managing director. “We’re very happy to start a new team and adventure out here.” “We hope the community really embraces it,” echoed Cinepolis partner Adolfo Fastlicht, who noted that the new theater created more than 70 jobs. Cinepolis opened its first theater in Mexico in 1947 and has since become the largest movie chain in Latin America and fourth largest in the world. Cinepolis developed its“VIP” luxury experience in 1999 and has ventured into several South American countries and India, but San Diego is its first American presence. They have plans to open seven more theaters in the Southern California region, including the former UltraStar La Costa in Carlsbad, Laguna Niguel and Irvine. Fastlicht said they aim to grow into Northern California and then become a nationwide chain. Cinepolis’ difference is noticed right away in the theater lobby, which features floor to ceiling windows, glossy wood floors, and a cluster of cozy, stylish couches and tables to grab a bite from the gourmet concession stand where champagne is chilling and decadent desserts are on display. Cinepolis is the only movie theater in San Diego to have a full bar, which serves wine, beer, champagne and signature cocktails such as a Skinny Margarita or Cool as A Cucumber, with vodka, fresh cucumber and a splash of agave nectar. Alcohol is only allowed in theaters one and two and Cinepolis will be very strict about those two theaters,

general manager Antonio Garcia said. Identification will be required to purchase tickets to movies in those two theaters and any time the patron enters and exits. Moviegoers over 21 can also only imbibe two drinks maximum. Unlike most movie theaters, there are no ticket windows. Instead, there is a concierge desk where moviegoers can select their own reserved seat when they buy the ticket. “I honestly believe there is no bad seat in the house,” Garcia said. For people who purchased tickets online or if there is a line, they can use an adjacent ticket station to pick up tickets, as well. An upstairs lobby area features bathroom lounges and an art gallery with local artists’ works on display and for sale. Cinepolis’ eight auditoriums feature 65 seats each, “The most state-of-the-art, beautiful cinemas in the U.S.,” Garcia said proudly. Patrons relax in seven-foot leather reclining chairs with tables in between each and an adjustable table that can go over the lap. Once seated, there is a button to summon service and a menu with an LED light built in so you can see what you’re selecting. The menu includes items such as Angus beef sliders, flat bread pizza, wraps, coconut shrimp and quesadillas. They also have standard movie fare like candy and popcorn, but the popcorn comes in six different flavors: butter, caramel, spicy chili, cheddar cheese, cinnamon roll and zebra (black and white chocolate covered) and is served in a footed cone bowl. Garcia said people have expressed concerns that the service will be interruptive to watching the movie, but he said most people order during the first 15 minutes of previews. After that, service is sporadic and servers are dressed in black and will slip quickly in and out, kneeling to take orders and deliver food. Ticket prices are slightly more expensive than standard theaters at $14-18. To learn more, visit cinepolisusa.com. The Del Mar Highlands Town Center is located at the corner of Del Mar Heights Rd. and El Camino Real in Carmel Valley, just south of Rancho Santa Fe.

Soldier Stories: ‘For people who cannot fight for themselves’ This column presents soldier stories to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Contributor Since the Revolutionary War, the United States Marine Corps has served in every American armed conflict, attaining an extraordinary reputation in amphibious and expeditionary ground warfare. Marine Infantry forces or “grunts,” as they affectionately call themselves, are the core of combat. Waiting for my escort at Camp Pendleton to lead me to 1st Lt. Victor Garcia, executive officer of Kilo Co 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, an Infantry unit with 1st Marine Division, I heard the “boom, boom” of artillery. It was a comforting sound. I was on our “warriors and heroes” home turf, about to meet a man with 17 years of honorable service to his country. A native of Salinas, Calif., Garcia didn’t have a lot of options out of high school. Despite opposition from his parents, Garcia sought the “challenge of belonging to an organization as elite as the Marine

Inspired early on by Platoon rank of Gunnery Sergeant, Commanders Lt. Matthew Lynch (killed in action), and Lt. who organizes logistics and Col. Bohm, he signed up for officer training the following coordinates training and year. Garcia still admires Bohm: “He talked the talk and combat supplies — for emwalked the walk and didn’t accept anything less from his barking and disembarking Marines.” As an officer, Garcia feels he serves the Marines off ships. A Gunnery Sgt. is a better. Awarded two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation medals with the combat “V” for valor, Garcia will tell you he’s “just doing his job as a Marine,” politely declining that he’s a hero, calling me “ma’am.” Respect is the Marine way. Add to that a steely commitment to free the people, save lives, and watch out for their brothers — even if they die doing it.

Quantico, Va. “In five years of instructing, it’s always about mission accomplishment. If you’re given a mission, that mission is going to get accomplished. After that, it’s troop welfare and it isn’t until the mission is done, you worry about yourself.” Garcia states, “As an American deployed four times in combat operations against enemies of our nation and world, I fight for people that cannot fight for themselves. During the war on terror, I fight far from home so my daughter, Araceli, can grow up without terror.” Helping foreign countries become liberated from tyranny and dictatorship is not always popular. In Iraq in 2003, Marines helped dismantle Saddam and his regime. Deployed in ‘04 to Fallujah, “Some of the people didn’t want America in that nation in any way.” Despite vicious fighting against non-conformist rebels and foreign fighters, a new government was established – mission accomplished. It was similar in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2004 , where Garcia and 2/5 were fighting Sunnis not on board with America, until the ‘Great Awakening’ in 2007/ 08, when the “Sunnis realized it’s better to help out and build a stronger Iraq.” “People are always happy when you can provide them with a better life...by ridding the areas of the evil insurgents.” Whether it’s Iraq, Ramadi, or recently in Sangin, Afghanistan, Garcia is sure, “The enemies we fight out there tyrannize the local populace and want to kill our Marines. They have their own agenda and they are not there to free the people.” When Dark Horse 3/5 took over for 3/7, who replaced British forces in Sangin, it was a ferocious fight with heavy Taliban resistance. Single-handedly, 3/5 continued 3/7’s push to open areas that were closed — “taking the fight to the enemy in a more rural setting, where it was easier to isolate [terrorists] from the populace and engage and destroy them.” “With the Taliban or any insurgency, it’s hard to discern enemy fighters from civilians unless you see weapons or they reveal themselves via our assets,” Garcia said. “During Counter Insurgency Operations (COIN), we clear the enemy, get a foothold on the people, and build trust and help rebuild infrastructure. These three phases are not set in stone because of the ever-changing situation on the ground.” Unchanging is the Marine warrior ethos — Marines refusing to be evacuated, for wounds during firefights — so as not to let their unit down. Twenty-five Marines gave their lives in Sangin. Garcia says, “People that joined after Sept 11 know we’re a nation at war. If you pick infantry, you know there’s a possibility you’re going to die fighting.” The same men who risk their lives for each other, risk their lives for innocent civilians and children, including 18-year-old privates who define valor. Losing young Marines is hard for Garcia. Camp Pendleton is building up, training new Marines, for another deployment. Garcia’s parents are proud, but worry each time he is deployed. Garcia gives us his take on bringing troops home early, “Whatever missions that we’re given from Congress, the President, our commanders —we’re going to accomplish. If they say ‘Stay for 20 years in a certain country, fighting a certain war, against this certain enemy,’ we’re going to do it and do it whole-heartedly. There’s no time Marines are saying let’s go home early… Marines are going to be pushing until you pull them back, say stop, or change direction. We’re not an organization looking to do anything but accomplish the mission.” I left a sacred training ground that day and look forward to returning for my next story. Whether I talk to a “grunt” or “pogue” (personnel other than grunt ), it will be another mission accomplished.

Edward Fyfe

Profile

San Diego’s engineering ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ invented his way to a pioneering 42-year career BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor The best single piece of business advice he ever received went something like this: “You’re an engineer. You worked for DuPont. You have all sorts of ideas. You should be able to invent something. Why don’t you invent a new kind of bridge bearing?” So he did, That was 42 years ago. At the time, Ed Fyfe was in his late 20s. He had just left his job in research at DuPont of Canada and was planning to go back to university to earn an M.B.A. and eventually go into business, when his cousin, who ran a company that manufactured bridge bearings and expansion joints, suggested that Fyfe invent his way into a job. It was at a time when

long span bridges were just being introduced to North America and traditional bearings could not handle the high loads. “So I came up with the idea of using a DuPont material to take high loads in rotation but with a pin and ring in the center so it didn’t have to take any horizontal forces,” Fyfe said. “And that was my first invention.” With it, Fyfe started his first company, Elastometal, that specialized in making those bridge bearings on which, incidentally, the Hoover Dam bypass now sits. He subsequently went on to found Fyfe Developments in 1970, Fyfe Associates, Inc. in 1983, and his current company in 1992. Today, Fyfe has 50 patents to his name and is founder, president and

chairman of Fyfe Company, LLC, and Fibrwrap Construction, a pioneering world leader in the manufacturing and installation of fiber-reinforced polymer materials to strengthen and retrofit concrete structures, including bridges, buildings, industrial facilities and inner walls of aging municipal water pipes. He is also the winner of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® 2011 San Diego Award in the Engineering category. As a San Diego winner, Fyfe is now eligible as a candidate for Ernst & Young’s National Entrepreneur of the Year Award in engineering and the National Award in overall categories to be announced at the awards gala in Palm Springs on Nov. 12. We interviewed the 71-year-old Fyfe in his office at the Fyfe Technology Center in Mira Mesa where he guides his company’s research and development. “That’s my job,” he said. “My son and a young CEO I have who came up through the ranks now basically run the company and I concentrate on developing new products here…with a team of five researchers. “It was hard for me at first because they said, ‘Ed, you have to quit always wanting to be in sales and everything. You have to focus on new developments because that’s where our future is.’ So I phased into it, but now that’s what I do.” Fyfe is a modest, softspoken man, who, when he’s not working, keeps fit working out with a personal trainer once a week, playing vigorous games of squash three and four times a week and sailing. He and his wife, Rolande, have been married for 44 years, raised two children, and have lived locally for 27 years. On the wall behind his desk is a large surrealistic painting by artist John De-

Edward Fyfe PHOTO: JON CLARK

Marco of a huge, moon-like golf ball coming in from another dimension in the sky over a desert oasis. Asked the significance of the painting, Fyfe said, “I just believe there is another dimension, a fourth dimension, a whole life in parallel with what you’re doing. I just kind of think it’s possible.” Inventing, he said, in a sense, is like working in another dimension. Fyfe was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. His father was a pharmacist who owned a drugstore in Edmonton. When Fyfe was 6 years old, his father moved the family to Vancouver, British Columbia, and took a job as a salesman with Rexall Drugs until he was able to open his own drugstores in Vancouver. One of the reasons Fyfe decided to study engineering at University of British Columbia, he said, was “I really didn’t want to be a salesperson like my father,” although he appreciated and adopted his father’s “sales attitude” which included writing out lists of his daily goals. “But the very first engineering job I had when I graduated from university was with DuPont and I fast found out everybody was a

salesperson. You had to be to sell your ideas.” It was a lesson that has stood by him to this day. When Fyfe Company hires structural engineers, it hires them as “sales engineers.” Fyfe Company, founded 19 years ago, now employs a workforce of 290 persons, including engineers, materials specialists and installation technicians, in the U.S. and Canada; and 150 personnel in Europe, Asia, Latin America, India, China and Korea. The company’s 2010 sales in North America were $50 million and $15 million internationally. In 1988, Fyfe began researching the possible use of pre-saturated composites of carbon and other fiber materials to strengthen bridge columns in California, which had been built according to pre-1985 construction codes, and were recognized as deficient in hoop-steel, strength and ductility, and were in danger of buckling in the event of an earthquake. Working with Caltrans in a cooperative research program to test the innovative fiber technology idea, Fyfe constructed, wrapped and tested 14 columns, both round and rectangular, ranging in width from 2 to 6 feet and in heights up to 20 feet, at San Diego State University’s testing site. The Fiber wrap, as it became known, was branded with the name Tyfo® Fibrwrap® System and was approved by the California Department of Transportation. Additional testing led to its use in reinforcing beams, slabs, beam-column joints, walls, city piers, water storage tanks and water pipes. “One of our biggest markets is strengthening pressure water pipes,” he said. “We’ll actually go

through a manhole and we’ll wrap the inside of the pipe,” he said. In addition to retrofitting existing structures, in future, Fyfe is planning to apply its technology to new structures. “We’ve done testing where we take our system and make a stay-in-place form so you could literally build our system and pour the concrete in and that would be your structure.” He is convinced that so far fiber-wrapping has just hit the peak of the iceberg. “I think five years from now we’ll have all sorts of new applications for the use of high-strength fibers. It’s actually the first real new product for construction. We say, ‘We created an industry.’ That’s our motto.” Asked if the company plans to go public, he said, “We’re thinking about it. Last year, we had a private capital investor who invested to a 25 percent position in the company with the idea that we would be ‘not so conservative’ and would take advantage of our opportunities here. So that’s sort of our first step. We have a venture capital partner now.” His advice to aspiring young entrepreneurs? “Think about a field that you want to be in and then I would try to invent in it. The same advice that my cousin gave me…and at first you think, ‘God, how can I do that?’ But then you work at it and you come up with the ideas.” He also recommends reading the classic motivational book, “Think and Grow Rich,” by Napoleon Hill. The title doesn’t pay it justice, he said, because you can have goals other than financial. “Your mind is a wonderful machine so that if you set these goals and imagine them in your dreams, you can make them happen. I’ve done that all my life.”

Canyon Crest Academy honored with National Youth Arts Awards

(Above) The TPHS Relief team successfully raised money for UNICEF through personalized student tiles and the support of the community.

TPHS Relief Team tile project raises funds for UNICEF The Torrey Pines High School Relief Team, a coalition of campus community service clubs with the goal of enacting unified fundraising efforts for global causes, held a very successful tile fundraising project this past year, according to team president Caitlin Mackey. The project sold personalized tiles to TPHS students. They were hand-painted by TPHS artists with the students’ names and symbol from sports to arts to academics. The tiles were later installed at the front of the school. “This was a great way to foster school spirit and beautify our campus,” Mackey said. “But most of all, it was a tremendous fundraiser for UNICEF. We sold 66 tiles and raised $2,750 for UNICEF! “We would like to thank Torrey Pines’ Associated Student Body for donating money for installation so that 100 percent of proceeds could go to UNICEF. We also would like to thank Ceramic Cafe for helping us greatly with the tiles. We would like to thank Mr. Chess for being our adviser on this project. And a huge thanks goes to all the people who supported this project!” The Torrey Pines students involved in the project were: Liv Williams, Joey Nievera, Charlie Reed, Lauren Sweet, Eden Berdugo, Jill Wong and Caitlin Mackey, in addition to countless artists who helped paint the tiles.

Canyon Crest Academy student artists and productions have been recognized by National Youth Arts as winners of the Sixth Annual National Youth Arts Awards to honor outstanding work by youth in the arts. This year more than 200 productions were considered for the awards, including shows from more than 100 different theatres in more than 50 cities spanning 12 states. Award winners were selected from nominations by a panel of 24 judges and reviewers. Winners were recognized in ceremonies July 10 in San Diego and July 25 in Carlsbad. Canyon Crest Academy’s innovative concert “Chess,” directed by Michael Schwartz with musical direction by Brian Kohn, received multiple awards. Graduating seniors Drew Pelisek and Brittney Meredith

were honored in a newly created category of Outstanding Concert Soloists for their performances as Freddie and Florence. “Chess” itself was honored as Outstanding Concert Ensemble. Canyon Crest Academy’s production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” directed by Michael Schwartz, also received multiple honors. Junior Lily Detwiler as Logainne Schwartzandgrubnierre, junior Briana Hebert as Marcy Park, and freshman Alison Norwood as Olive Ostravosky, were each honored as an Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Musical for their performances. The company won as Outstanding Ensemble. More information at www.canyoncrestfoundation.org.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF couple’s passion for thoroughbreds continues to grow BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor Michele and Mark Stephens got off to a fast start as racehorse owners and are keeping a steady pace. It started in 2007 with a horse that almost took the Rancho Santa Fe residents to the Kentucky Derby. “I had always had a distant interest (in horse racing),” said Mark, 56, a managing partner in accounting and consulting firm Ernst & Young in San Diego. Mark’s brother-in-law, Jim Crews, was an owner with West Point Thoroughbreds and other racing syndicates, and Mark said he had “lived vicariously through him.” The Stephenses, who lived in Scottsdale, Ariz., before their move to Rancho Santa Fe, occasionally flew to Southern California and joined Crews at the racetracks to watch his horses run. “We decided to take the leap on our own, and our first investment was El Gato Malo (also co-owned by Crews, with West Point),” Mark said. The dark bay/brown gelding reeled off victories in his first three starts, including a 6 1/4-length romp in the San Rafael Stakes (Grade III) at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia in January 2008, putting him on the map as a Triple Crown contender. However, losses in the Sham Stakes (Grade III) and Santa Anita Derby

the first week at Del Mar and now in Mike Mitchell’s barn; and the 2-year-old Holiday Rose, who is at a training center in Florida. To select their horses, the Stephenses said they read information from their syndicates indicating why they think a particular horse is special, watch video clips of the prospect in action, and then “do selective additional research.” “We like the ones a little more on the sleeper side,” Mark said. “We look for ones that are more the up-and-coming type ... rather than the sure things.” He added that a lot of it is “gut feeling.” The Stephenses’ horses have given them plenty of special memories. Both cite El Gato Malo’s Lone Star Derby as one of their favorites. And they look forward to seeing some of their younger, lightly raced horses develop, in particular Runflatout, Lady Fairbanks and TJ’s Passion. The couple said that most of their runners should make appearances sometime during the current Del Mar meet, and they will attend regularly. “Del Mar is special ... it’s nice to be at the track where people like to socialize,” said Michele, currently co-president of social and philanthropic organization Las Damas de Fairbanks.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

July 28, 2011

Researcher’s book provides prescription for better leadership BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor Nina Rosoff — a social and behavioral scientist, academician and organization/leadership specialist — just penned her first book, “The Power of Paradox: The Protean Leader and Leading in Uncertain Times.” “The seed of wanting to write a book was planted when I was a child. Even though those were just words to me then, once I began writing my doctoral dissertation in 1970, I promised myself I would write a book that would contribute to leaders and to their organizations’ success.” Rosoff rejected the idea to author such a book back then, and instead contributed to scholarly journals and publications throughout her career, during which, she found herself on the faculty of MIT Sloan School twice and with other major business schools. She began working on “The Power of Paradox,” in January 2005 and finally published it on June, 21 2011.

Protean 1. Tending or able to change frequently or easily. 2. Able to do many different things; versatile. Source: MerriamWebster The book sees Rosoff tackling the unsolved dilemma of standard economics: How to lead in uncertainty. To find the answer, she said she combed through decades of research, did an in-depth literature review, and interviewed hundreds of leaders of all types — from successful CEOs to HR managers, to academicians and presidents, an owner of an NFL team, and the predecessor of the No. 1 hotelier in the world. Despite its title, the business text is unpretentious and easy to read. Through her conversational narrative, Rosoff shows leaders a path through sev-

en paradoxes, combining anecdotes, stories, and ideas about what did and didn’t work for leaders, with their own inspired “ah-ha” moments about the interworking of paradox. She shows why being “protean,” works to help leaders and organizations face the challenges of uncertain times by managing complexity better. Since earning her BA from Scripps College, master of social work from the University of Michigan, and Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University, Rosoff founded the firm, Leadership and Organization Consultants. She consults globally to start-ups, Fortune 500 profit-sector clients like P & G, American Express, Chase, BP, Xerox Corporation, Exxon, Time Inc. and non-profit clients like the United Hospital Fund, the Child Welfare League of America, and others. At the core of “The Power of Paradox” is the reality that leaders’ actions often have opposite conse-

Left, Author Nina Rosoff quences than those intended. She calls this the “Law of Unintended Consequences” and seeks to minimize this cycle of leadership failure, by identifying some root causes. In the book, Rosoff provides a “take away” for readers, titled, “The Protean

Leadership Model.” It describes capabilities and actions, that when executed using what she calls “dynamic thinking,” can empower anyone to lead better — whether as a parent or a CEO. “I would love for it to make a difference, especial-

ly for leaders who are struggling today, and for everyday people who want to live more fulfilled, happier and healthier lives, in synch with their aspirations and potential. If it happens to hit a chord with the reader, then that’s great,” she said.

Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate: Inventory Age vs. Seller Motiva

State of Grace…Extraordinary elegance with Mediterranean influences perched on a hilltop in Rancho Santa Fe’s gated community known as The Groves. Situated on 2.23 lushly landscaped acres, with dynamite panoramic views of the mountains, valleys and countryside. Graced with high quality and craftsmanship throughout, this 5 bedroom, 5.5-bath main home embodies the essence of Southern California living.

In real estate, just like with any other product-based business, it is important to monito of the inventory. Unfortunately, monitoring real estate inventory age is not as easy as since properties are often re-listed several times before they are sold or taken off th For example, when you see information like “Days On Market”, it invariably represents days for that particular listing. What you do not see are all the other days the property w market prior to that listing. Consequently, the information that I created here, corrects for that incomplete age pe I took all the properties that were listed for sale in Rancho Santa Fe (defined for the p this analysis as all attached and detached residential properties listed with the San Dieg Listing Service for the 92067 and 92091 zip codes) since January 1, 2001 to pres accounted for this discrepancy. Essentially, if a property was listed for sale and then tak market and re-listed within 60 days, it was considered one listing. It did not matter if the was re-listed over-and-over as long as the gap between listings was not greater than This new adjusted listing period represents the combination of all the successive listin if the property was one long listing, starting with the earliest and ending with the lates emerges. Charts A, B, and C show the inventory age of all three price brackets in RSF by propert

Oﬀered at $2,495,000 Original Listing Price: less than $3 million

If we look at Chart A, we can see the average age in days of all properties that started ( listed) with an original listing price less than $3 million. The blue line shows the age of p that were listed for sale but never did sell and ultimately taken off the market, while th shows the age of properties that did sell. Each line represents the average age of act at that point in time. I simply broke them out by those listings that ended up eventu compared to those that did not. What is interesting is how both types of listings, those th sell and those that did, tracked closely prior to the banking crisis in 2007; thereafter, The age of the inventory that eventually sold, represented by the red line, started to e age of the inventory that did not sell. We, clearly, start to see the beginning of two types motivated vs. unmotivated, respectively.

RSF-The Covenant $6,995,000-$7,495,000

RSF-The Covenant $6,495,000

Within Chart B, we see this same inventory age divergence occur in 2007 for propertie is even more significant. Since this price group felt the impact of the economic crisis afte manner. The average age of the inventory that does not sell but is instead taken off the listings that ultimately do sell. Clearly, there are two camps of sellers here. One will list another will choose to leave their property on the market nearly twice as long, until it’s Original Listing Price: $5 million or more

RSF- The Bridges $5,995,000

RSF-The Covenant $5,795,000

With respect to inventory age, this is the only price group that exhibits the sellerdichotomy in reverse, with the seller timeline being shorter than the non-seller timeline when we look at the degree sellers are willing to discount their properties from their orig prices (when using this method of combining the original listing with re-listings); this tim could make sense for sellers not wanting to chase a declining price market down. This p has the largest percentage discount from original listing price than all three groups. T end sellers appear to have valued time over dollars, but, in a declining price market, tim to dollars very quickly. Going forward, it will be interesting to see if buyers avoid chasing up by waiting for a bottom that may have already passed them.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Community Resource Center uses Rancho Santa Fe Formula for success: RSF resident’s new book offers advice to help solve ‘marketing mysteries’ fund to deal with looming food shortage over holidays In his new book, “Formula Marketing,” Rancho Santa Fe resident David Wilkey solves the mysteries of marketing for small business owners and marketing professionals by providing a step-by-step, proven approach for implementing an effective marketing plan. The book takes the proven marketing principles used by large corporations and distills them into a simple approach that can be used by small businesses. “Formula Marketing works like the pass code to your ATM machine. Once you know the code, or the most successful marketing tactics for your business, you are able to generate repeat revenue at a level that is much higher than RSF your marketing costs,” explains Wilkey. “Most marketers resident fail to learn their ATM code.” David According to Wilkey, the key to a successful marketing Wilkey plan is metrics and accountability. “Most companies waste and the a fortune on marketing. They fail to develop the metrics cover of and accountability necessary to tell them if their markethis new ing efforts are profitable or not. Formula Marketing shows book. business owners and marketers how to embed good working metrics and organizational accountability into their marketing plans.” Formula Marketing has been well received by local marketing experts. “This book is a must read for marketers looking to deliver real results to their organization,” reports Marques McCammon, chief marketing officer for Aptera Motors, a manufacturer of electric cars. “Wilkey really gets the ROI and gives you a pathway to deliver it.” Wilkey grew up locally, attending elementary and middle school in Rancho Santa Fe and high school at Torrey Pines. A graduate of the University of Southern California, Wilkey has held several senior marketing positions and owns a marketing consulting firm. For more information, visit www.formula-marketing.com.

Community Resource Center’s 29th Annual Holiday Baskets Program is the largest comprehensive holiday distribution program of its kind in San Diego County, and expects record registration requests among North County families this year. However, current food shortages at CRC could force dramatic cuts in the numbers served at Holiday Baskets this December. “We serve over 9,000 individuals a year through our food, shelter, and domestic violence programs, and the current food crisis is having a ripple effect on everything we do for the community,” says Laurin Pause, CRC executive director. Federal budget cuts have significantly reduced food allotments nationwide to distribution centers like CRC. The agency has struggled to keep pantry shelves stocked, and has been unable to stockpile supplies of food for Holiday Baskets and other emergency distributions. “San Diego County still has not received its federal allotments for food distribution to households in crisis, and when we do get it, we expect a 25 percent reduction in the allotment. It’s not looking good.” This news comes on the right as CRC begins its planning for the renowned Holiday Basket’s Program which distributed more than 48 tons of food to local families in need last year. For the first time since the endowment fund was established at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, CRC has decided to withdraw

earnings to help bridge the gap. “It’s not ideal, but we feel compelled to access our auxiliary funds to ensure our food supplies remain adequate in the face of these reduced allotments. If CRC doesn’t do this, there’s nowhere else in our community these struggling families can turn to. We are it.” In 2010, over 200 groups and organizations and more than 1,600 volunteers come together to brighten the holidays for over 1,400 households through CRC’s Holiday Baskets program. A total of 6,400 individuals were served by the annual program, with children accounting for roughly half of those served. CRC manages year-round programs for food and rental assistance as well as a comprehensive domestic violence services program that includes Carol’s House, a confidentially located shelter in North County. CRC’s annual fall fundraising event will take place in Rancho Santa Fe this year, and is part of the organization’s effort to bring critical funding to its programs. The event, “Autumn Equinox – September Soiree in Rancho Santa Fe,” will take place at Villa de Flores and aptly promotes themes of harvest and passage. Autumn Equinox includes an array of auction packages, hors d’oeuvres, wine, and much more. Tickets are available online at www. crcncc.org or by phone at 760-230-6305.

“The work is going on. We’re not going to stop doing what we’re doing in reliance on the coastal permit unless and until we’re told to by a judge,” Madaffer said Monday. “We’re kind of stuck in the middle between two public agencies claiming jurisdiction,” Madaffer said. Under state law, the Coastal Commission is charged with planning and regulating development in the state’s coastal zone, in partnership with coastal cities and counties. The Flower Hill Promenade is included in the coastal zone because it is located within the watershed of the San Dieguito River Valley, said Deborah Lee, manager of the Coastal Commission’s San Diego district. The Coastal Commission retains the authority to issue coastal development permits within the coastal zone until it certifies a local coastal program for a specific area. At that point, the commission delegates permit authority to the city or county where the local coastal program has been certified. The commission believes the property where Flower Hill Promenade sits is not part of the city’s certified local coastal program, said Lee. Therefore, “we never delegated coastal development permit authority to the city” for the parcel, she said. Both the mall’s owner and the city disagree. “The coastal commission does not have direct permit jurisdiction over the project,” the city wrote to the commission last year. “Our position has not changed,” on the jurisdiction issue, said Kelly Broughton, the city’s development services director, on Tuesday. And a spokeswoman for Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, whose council District 1 includes the mall, said her boss specifically asked city officials about the jurisdictional issue during the council hearing in April. “Sherri asked during the hearing if it was in our jurisdiction and was told by the city attorney and mayor’s office in no uncertain terms that it was in our jurisdiction and our purview,” said Lightner spokeswoman Jennifer Davies. “Under the law, the boundaries of the City and Coastal Commission jurisdictions are shown on Map No. C-730-1. This Map has been relied upon for over 20 years to determine the locations of the City and Coastal Commission jurisdictions. According to the City’s Development Services Department, the Map shows the Flower Hill property within the City’s jurisdictional area,” wrote a spokeswoman for City Attorney Jan Goldsmith in an email. Madaffer, attorney for the mall’s owner,

said she and her colleagues have seen the maps and the certified local coastal program, and are convinced the city has authority to issue the permit. Lee said the stop-work order was necessary because her agency has advised both the city and the property owner that it contends the mall falls within the Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction. “We advised them we do not believe they have a valid coastal development permit and they should stop work,” said Lee. “We think we’ve given them due notice of our concerns.” The commission is “pursuing legal options” and talking to city officials in an effort to resolve the issue, Lee said. Civil penalties could include fines of $15,000 per day from the date the stop-work order was issued, and additional fines for starting work without the required permit, Lee said. The Coastal Commission’s action is not the only legal hurdle faced by the mall’s owner. In May, a group called Citizens Against Flower Hill’s Excessive Expansion filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the project. According to Madaffer, a judge declined to issue a temporary restraining order to halt construction, and a request for a permanent injunction will be heard in San Diego Superior Court on Friday. Among the issues raised in the lawsuit is the question of jurisdiction, said Madaffer. Rather than taking its own action, she said, the Coastal Commission should instead have joined the lawsuit to settle the question of which agency has the right to issue the development permit. The project includes demolition of the UltraStar Cinema, which has already closed, and construction of a new building to house a Whole Foods Market, new retail and office space and a four-story parking garage. The center would expand from its current 112,000 square feet to 173,000 square feet. The project also would include a facelift for the center’s existing buildings. The owner-developer faces a tight deadline, because under its agreement with Whole Foods, the new building must be completed by June of 2012, Madaffer said. After an approval process that took seven years, said Madaffer, her client wants to move forward with the project. “We were issued a coastal permit that was approved unanimously by the city council of San Diego,” she said. “We are relying on that permit. Until we’re told by a judge that’s invalid, there’s no reason for us to stop.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Funds raised for Derek Thomas

athedral Catholic High School alumni from Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla hosted a fundraiser at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center on July 23 for their former classmate Derek Thomas, 19, who was critically injured in a car accident last year. Thomas, who was given a 1 percent chance for survival after the accident, was burned on over 85 percent of his body and remains hospitalized at Scripps Encinitas — the funds raised will go toward his medical care. Thomas has had dozens of surgeries since the accident. Thomas spent the last 11

months at the Grossman Burn Center in West Hills before recently being transferred to Scripps. The crash occurred outside of Bishop last August and claimed four lives, including Cathedral Catholic graduates Natalie Nield and Amanda Post (Thomas’ late girlfriend). The group Thomas was with were headed back to San Diego from Mammoth where they took part in high-altitude fitness training. PHOTOS: ROB MCKENZIE

RSF Rotary Club plans another year of ‘fun and fundraising’ Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club is ending a great year under the leadership of President Patrick Galvin. The club’s new president, Alan Balfour, is looking forward to continuing the next year in the same direction of FUN and FUNDraising. Some of the recipients of grants issued by the RSF Rotary Club were: •Helen Woodward Animal Center – therapeutic riding program support •Just in Time for Foster Youth – College Bound program Partners Therapeutic Horsemanship – therapeutic riding program support •RSF Community Center – stage curtains •San Diego Botanic Garden – purchase Event Management System •Balboa Theatre – renovation of Wonder Morton Organ •RSF School Performing Arts Center – purchase one seat in honor of past presidents of the RSF Rotary Club •Special Olympics — support sports training for San Diego athletes •Water for Sudan — helping to complete over 104 wells and supplying water to over 200,000 people in the country of Sudan, Africa •Polio Plus — helping Rotary eradicate the planet of this dreadful disease. •Dollars for Scholars — giving to the scholarship fund at Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy The RSF Rotary Club is not all about raising money and giving grants to organizations in need. On April 30, more than 30 Rotarians gathered to do a renovation of the gardens at the RSF Senior Center. The transformation of the gardens were as enlightening as the satisfaction received by each of the hard-working Rotarians.

In May, Patrick Galvin and several other Rotarians completed a year of training hikes in preparation to hike the Grand Canyon from rim to rim. This was a 23-mile hike with an altitude change of 8,000 feet. In total, 30 people set out that morning and 30 people completed the grueling hike. With their sense of personal accomplishment, 30 people came away with a smiling, but tired face. Also in May, RSF Rotarians donned aprons and served our community’s First Responders at their awards banquet at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. This has been an annual tradition. The RSF Rotary club raises the funds to pay for this formal banquet for the firemen, patrol and dispatchers, and their spouses. But to add to the fun, the Rotarians are their waiters for the evening. The RSF Rotary Club started off their new year marching in the local Rancho Santa Fe July 4 parade. Katie Hawkes proudly led the Rotary brigade carrying the American flag. She was followed by Rotarians and friends carrying a banner which read, “Rotarians at work! Rancho Santa Fe Rotary — Making a Difference!” This year started the 100th year of Rotary in San Diego. The Rancho Santa Fe Club was started in 1959. Along with the surrounding Rotary clubs, Rotary HAS made a difference. The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary club has more than 90 members and meets at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on Mondays at noon for a delicious lunch served by The Inn. Feel free to contact president Alan Balfour, or membership chair Katie Hawkes at (858) 922-2226 or visit us on line at www.rsfrotary. com for more information about Rotary.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

SENIOR continued from page 1 The Quantum land is located on the south side of Del Dios Highway on the eastern boundary of the Covenant, past El Camino Del Norte. There are seven Covenant parcels on the 39.4-acre property (a sevenlot subdivision there has been approved since 2004 but the map has not been made final). Instead of building the seven homes, the developer planned to construct 38 casitas for seniors.

WATER

George McGill, representing Quantum Estates, said he wanted to “humanize” the issue, asserting that the developers were not some evil outsiders. Heather Taylor, a longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident and relative of Charles H. Taylor, who founded the Boston Globe, purchased the property in the 1970s. Andrew Parkinson, Taylor’s grandson, has taken over the Quantum Villas project, traveling overseas from his home in New Zealand. “The proposal has merit, senior housing is needed in this community,” McGill

continued from page 1

Under current district policy, directors receive $200 for each meeting they attend, to a maximum of 10 per month. “It’s an individual decision whether to take it and it’s allowed by state law,” said Menshek. “But as we are raising rates, we should all look inward and see how we can help, from the top director to the newest employee. That’s part of the reason I don’t take it.” In December, the board approved a maximum of 36 percent in water rate increases over the next three years. Rates went up 12 percent in February, and as part of planning for next year’s budget, directors have approved a 6 percent increase that will take effect next January, although that amount could be adjusted. Menshek said he can understand the public’s concern over director compensation and medical benefits during tight budget times, but that the total is a relatively small portion of the district’s budget, like “a cut to the tip of your finger when the femoral artery is bleeding.” Menshek said the most critical financial issue facing the district is the cost of employee retirement benefits. The board has directed management to request employees to negotiate a second tier of reduced retirement benefits for new hires. Because the district is currently in the midst of a two-year contract with its employees, any change in benefits, even for future employees, would have to be negotiated with workers. The timing is important, said Menshek, because about one fourth of the district’s 43 employees will become eligible for retirement during the life of the current labor agreement. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to mitigate some of these retirement costs,” Menshek said. If employees do not agree to the reduced retirement benefits for new hires, Menshek said, he would oppose hiring any new workers until a new labor agreement is in place.

said. Ali Shapouri, representing Quantum, said based on a survey conducted by the developers in 2005, a majority of Rancho Santa Fe residents said they would like to move into a community for active seniors within the Covenant. Per the survey, people liked the option of a smaller, elegant house-like casita over something like a condo or townhome, and wanted to stay within the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant to allow them to continue being a member of the RSF Golf Club. The developers planned Quantum Villas around those ideas. Shapouri said he knew he had a “steep climb” ahead of him to get the Covenant modification but he really believed that the project could fit in here and was something that was an expressed need of the residents. Both Shapouri and McGill also pointed to the signatures they obtained representing 75 percent approval from surrounding property owners, a requirement of the modification. David Green, a resident who lives on El Vuelo, said he represents a lot of the owners east of the project who oppose Quantum. Green said he was not swayed by McGill’s “warm and fuzzy” argument that the developers aren’t outsiders—he said if they have lived in Rancho Santa Fe for more than 30 years they should understand what the character of the community is and the kinds of restrictions that are enforced here. “This project is not characteristic of Rancho Santa Fe, it’s a Lawrence Welk community,” said Green. “We want rural, what it has always been. There’s nothing wrong with preserving the character of Rancho Santa Fe the way it is.”

portedly said he has given up on the deal. “Like a lot of things in horse racing, it just didn’t work out,” Pegram is quoted as saying. Pegram did not return messages for comment left by this newspaper by presstime. Mosier said before the meeting he hadn’t spoken with Pegram for several months, but was aware the investors were frustrated at the slow pace of decision-making at the state level regarding a potential sale of the fairgrounds. While Schwarzenegger had supported the sale, Gov. Jerry Brown, who took office in January, has not decided whether to pursue it. “This did not come as a surprise to us,” said Mosier of Pegram’s reported comments. “He (Pegram) told us he didn’t want to move forward with the deal right now. He wanted to take a break and re-evaluate it based on the numbers,” following the current Del Mar race meet. The agreement between the city and Pegram’s group, which owns a number of racehorses including 2010 Preakness Stakes winner Lookin at Lucky, was never formalized with a written memorandum of understanding, Mosier said. “He was very enthusiastic about trying to make the Del Mar meet the premier event in the country,” bring in the Breeders Cup and improve the backstretch, said Mosier of Pegram. “In the end, we did not reach a signed agreement.” “This was a serious flirtation but not an engagement,” he said. Momentum on the proposed sale has stalled since Brown took office in January. A bill by state Sen. Christine Kehoe authorizing the sale has been tabled until next year. And Brown has ordered his administration to study whether the state should sell fairgrounds properties across California. Councilman Terry Sinnott said the need for better governance at the fairgrounds has not changed, and the city has proposed a better way to oversee fairgrounds operations, called a public trust model, that would spell out allowable uses of the property. Under that scenario, a nine-member board composed of representatives from local cities and public agencies would run the facility as a nonprofit enterprise. “From my perspective, the message has been heard,” said Sinnott. “The state is not happy with current conditions. They want a review of it.

Sinnott said he believes that once the state review is complete, a decision will be made to sell the fairgrounds and put them under local control. “At that time, investors, possibly new investors, will come forward again and we will see fulfillment of all the hard work and innovation the city has invested…” Sinnott said. Councilman Carl Hilliard said that when Schwarzenegger had agreed to sell the fairgrounds, Pegram and his group were interested in investing in the purchase. The deal is now off the table until Brown has a chance to reconsider, he said. “Once another deal is on the table, Mike Pegram and his group will be happy to sit down, I’m sure, and pick up … where we left it,” Hilliard said. “I wouldn’t say its dead by any matter of means.” Along with time, the city has also invested money in the proposed fairgrounds purchase. Earlier this year, Mosier said the city had spent about $150,000 of the $200,000 it had budgeted for up-front costs related to the purchase. While the council expressed optimism Monday that a deal could still be reached, the president and general manager of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which runs the annual race meet, said he has heard from contacts in Sacramento that a sale is unlikely any time soon. “At the present time the governor has no interest in selling the fairgrounds,” Harper said he has been told during recent conversations. “You can never say never in politics, but at the present time, there certainly are no plans for selling it.” Harper has not taken a position against the sale, as was done by officials with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the fairgrounds for the state. He did, however, question financial aspects of the proposed deal. In particular, he said, he was concerned that if bonds were sold to pay for the purchase, revenue currently used to maintain and improve the facility would instead go to debt service. “I never could see the deal, where the money would all stay here,” Harper said. But Filanc said the city’s finance model is sound, and even accounts for declining racetrack revenue. “The deal works from our standpoint,” Filanc said Monday. “We are still very committed at the city to moving forward.”

‘Gift of El Tio’ authors to appear at Earth Song Books Silver discovery changes lives of Bolivian village, American couple

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY JONATHAN HELLER Contributor A renowned geologist who made the largest silver deposit discovery of the 20th century will be in Del Mar on Aug. 6 to sign copies of the book he authored with his wife about the experience. “The Gift of El Tio” tells the story of geologist Larry Buchanan, who made the original find in 1995, and his wife, Karen Gans, a child development specialist, who acted as his conscience during the ensuing mining operation that forced the relocation of the Bolivian village that sat atop the deposit. The two will be at Earth Song Books and Gifts at 1440 Camino Del Mar in Del Mar on Aug. 6 at 10:30 a.m. The couple, who live in Ashland, Ore., spent parts of a decade in the tiny, impoverished village of San Cristobal in the Bolivian Andes as it was relocated brick-bybrick about 11 kilometers away.

‘The Gifts of El Tio’ authors Karen Gans and Larry Buchanan. Photo/Christopher Briscoe The title refers to the name of the god whom the indigenous people believed lived underneath the village guarding the precious veins of silver and gold. “El Tio,” according to legend, promised that those who believed in him would receive a gift which would be revealed in the year 2000. To the villagers, Buchanan’s discovery represented the fulfillment of that prophecy. The silver mine meant an end to centuries of poverty. But there was a catch: The entire village would have to be uprooted. For Buchanan, the economic benefits of the mine were obvious. Most male res-

idents of San Cristobal had to move away when they became adults to find work. This would allow them to stay at home with their families. But Gans was not immediately convinced. In fact, she was extremely disturbed by the fact that the 440 inhabitants would lose their ancestral homes. She insisted that she and Buchanan go live in the village to ensure the people were treated humanely and fairly. “I went into this experience convinced that the mining company was going to screw these people,” Gans said in a recent interview. “But as time went by, I saw

the people benefitting (economically) and I had to open myself up to what the mining company was accomplishing.” Today, San Cristobal has almost 3,000 residents; people who were drawn to the area by the promise of jobs in and around the mine. The authors will donate a portion of the book’s profits to the village of San Cristobal, Bolivia. Larry Buchanan earned his Ph.D. in economic geology in 1979 and taught university-level geology for several years, but his love of the field led him to gold and silver prospecting in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. In 2006, he won the coveted Thayer Lindsley Award for the San Cristobal silver discovery. Buchanan has published a dozen scientific works and is a sought-after speaker at international conferences and college campuses. Karen Gans earned her master’s degree in early childhood development and has 35 years of experience as an educator, counselor, and consultant.

Shimbashi Izakaya serves the exotic tastes of Japan right here in ol’ Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON taste of traditional Japanese culture can be found in Del Mar at the tapas and sake bar Shimbashi Izakaya. Modeled after the country’s pubs, or “izakayas,” the restaurant is located in the northwest corner of the Del Mar Plaza, on the Market Level, and offers an opportunity to unwind. Upon arriving, guests will find an ocean-view patio dotted with tables and red umbrellas, along with triangular and circular heat lamps for chilly weather. Enter the restaurant through the wood and glass doors shaded by a red awning, and discover decor reminiscent of the Far East. There’s Japanese-style art hanging on a wall; tiny lights shining down from the black ceiling; legs of wooden tables and black-andred chairs resting on the square, black tiled floor. Soft jazz music plays in the background; a Japanese choir group occasionally comes in and sings traditional songs for special events. In front and center of Shimbashi Izakaya is the squareshaped sake bar, lined with about 15 curvy, backless seats. There are more than 30 kinds of sake to choose from — all from Japan

Rancho Santa Fe Review

90-year-old’s passion for racing stronger than ever BY JULIE H. SARNO Contributor Local resident Doris Johnson’s first race track experience occurred when she was a child. “My father was a veterinarian,” began Doris Johnson, 90. “He brought me to old Tanforan (a track in the San Francisco Bay area) when I was 4. I thought I wanted to be a vet, too.” While Johnson was in high school, the educational requirements for veterinary certification changed, requiring significantly more schooling. More interested in the horses and being around the racetrack than in years of education, Johnson went to work at Bay Meadows. “When I was 17,” she recalled, “I started to work at Bay Meadows as a bet runner (then called a messenger).”

Doris Johnson A few years later and still a Bay Meadows employee, Johnson was voted Miss Bay Meadows. She married trainer K.L. “Tex” Johnson in July of 1941. Their marriage had passed the 50-year mark when Johnson passed away 15 years ago. “Tex made the living and I continued to work at

Bay Meadows” said Johnson. “I spent the money I earned on horses and Bay Meadows stock. All you had to do to be successful in those days was work hard.” Johnson worked for Bay Meadows for 49 years and later served as a board member. She divided her time between her San Carlos home and her home here for more than three decades, before settling year-round locally three years ago. Johnson’s enthusiasm, energy and zest for life make her seem much younger than her years. She is looking forward to the Del Mar race meet, a chance to race her horses. Currently, Johnson has several Thoroughbreds, all ready to race, all with trainer Sean McCarthy. They are 3-year-old Invincible, 4-year-old Lodi Red, and 2-year-olds Three Blondes and Joyzey Billy.

Admission is $3 for adults and free for children under 12. Free parking is available at adjacent Mira Costa College. For two days, the church grounds are transformed into a quaint Greek village atmosphere where you can experience fine food, traditional Greek dancing, and the warmth of Greek hospitality. A live auction featuring many valuable donated items will take place at 5 p.m. both days. The annual drawing for the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan will be held on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. Tickets are only $10 each and limited to 7,500 sold. Tickets can be purchased at the festival or on the website at cardiffgreekfest.com. Winner need not be present.

She owns Lodi Red in partnership with California Horse Racing board member and prominent owner and breeder John Harris of Harris Farms. Joyzey Billy is owned in partnership with longtime Bay Meadows track executive Bob Gunderson. Joyzey Billy finished third in the Willard L. Proctor Memorial Stakes on June 12 at Hollywood Park. His next planned start is the Graduation Stakes on Aug. 3 at Del Mar. Trainer Cliff Sise selected the colt and bought him, as agent, for $20,000 at the “Barretts Equine Limited Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training” in May. “Bob (Gunderson) is the only person I know who is older than I am,” quipped Johnson. “He’s 93. Bob comes down for the summer. He has a house in Solana Beach. He said, ‘Let’s get a horse to race this summer.’

So we bought Joyzey Billy.” Johnson is longtime friends with Del Mar Thoroughbred Club President and General Manager Joe Harper and his wife, Barbara. Johnson’s late husband trained for Joe’s mother, the late Cecilia deMille Harper among others. “Tex” also trained for Dick and Linda Laird, another local couple who race horses. “My daughter’s name is Jerrylee,” said Johnson, of her daughter who lives in the Sacramento area. “Most people name their horses after their children. I named my daughter after my favorite horse at the time.” Johnson says she has lived a charmed life other than the death of her son, Michael, years ago at age 19. Her best horse to date is Theresa’s Tizzy. “Theresa’s Tizzy was the first horse I claimed (in 1998

at age 4). She earned $500,000 for us and we sold her for $500,000,” said Johnson. Trained by Noble Threewitt, Theresa’s Tizzy won the Rancho Bernardo Handicap (G3) at Del Mar in 2000. Racing for Johnson and three partners, the gray daughter of Cee’s Tizzy compiled a lifetime record of 15 wins from 35 starts. Johnson had great regard for Threewitt who retired from training in 2007 and passed away last year at age 99. She spoke at the 2004 ceremony renaming the Santa Anita backstretch medical facility the Noble Threewitt Health Center, in honor of the trainer who had done so much for stable workers and their families. “I’ll always have a horse,” enthused Johnson. “I’ve never had a losing year in the business.”

Surf take elite title: Del Mar’s Under 17 girls team wins national championship in game televised by ESPN BY GIDEON RUBIN STAFF WRITER It immediately became apparent to RSF’s Jackie Friedman that this was no ordinary club soccer championship game when she noticed sponsor boards surrounding the field. The fresh cut grass and wall-to-wall television cameras clinched it. The Del Mar Surf under 17 club team played in the Elite Clubs Team National Championship in front of a nationally televised audience. The Surf’s 1-0 victory over Player Development Academy, a team based in Westhampton N.J., was broadcast on ESPN. The Surf, a longtime regional power, was making its first appearance in an elite national tournament. All but two of its players have committed to or have offers from Division I colleges. “It was really cool,” Friedman said. “A lot of people at home were watching and they congratulated me.” The Surf traveled to Aurora, Colo., for the eight-team tournament. “Everyone on our team that I talked to said the same thing,” Friedman said. “When we went there we had one outcome on our minds, that was the only outcome that was possible and that’s what we did.” Stephanie Hamilton (Coronado High) scored the game’s only goal off an assist from Torrey Pines standout Alexandra Bailey in the 80th minute. Hamilton, who has standing offers from Brown and Columbia, was among six local players who have accepted or received offers from Div. I colleges. Torrey Pines’ Alexandra Bailey (Texas A&M), Olivia Buechler (Michigan), Nicole Sherwin (Northern Arizona) and Laura Liedle (Stanford), and Cathedral Catholic’s Kendall Kraus (Dartmouth) are the others. “It’s our first year and it’s been great,” Chesters said. “The competition was fantastic.” The elite soccer club tournament is designed to attract maximum college exposure, Surf coach Colin Chesters said. “We proved that we’re the best team in the country, and at the same time we’re helping our kids get an opportu-

The championship game featured a late scare, with a PDA hitting the crossbar with a potential game-tying shot in the last minute. “Your heart was in your mouth the whole time,” Chesters said. “We played well in the final, and then when we scored we sat in a little bit trying to protect it. It might not have been what we needed to do, maybe we should have gone after the second goal, but because there was so little time left we decided to sort sit in and they threw bodies forward and got one across the crossbar.” But while winning the championship was a thrill, the trip to Colorado evoked mixed emotions, with half of the players off to colleges next year leaving a team that’s more

Friedman is an incoming Torrey Pines senior who has standing offers to play at Columbia and Brown but is undecided between the two.

To Your Health: New device may eliminate the need for blood thinners in some atrial fibrillation patients BY MATTHEW J. PRICE, MD AND DOUGLAS GIBSON, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH A new device currently being studied at select hospitals across the country may eliminate the need for blood thinning medications in some patients who have a heart condition known as atrial fibrillation (“AF”). The most common cause of irregular heartbeat, AF affects more than two million people in the United States. Although it is often seen in patients with high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, lung disease and other conditions, the cause of AF is often unknown. It does become more common with age, especially after age 60, and affects one in ten people over age 80. By the year 2050, it is expected that more than five million Americans will suffer from AF. AF occurs when the electrical impulses that control the way the heart beats become irregular. Every time the heart beats, the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) contract, followed by the two lower chambers (the ventricles) in a coordinated and organized fashion. In comparison, during AF the electrical activity in the upper chambers (the atria) becomes very fast and disorganized. When this occurs, the upper chambers (atria) quiver and do not pump blood effectively. Normally, the heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute, but in people with AF, the heart can race very fast. This can lead to symptoms including shortness of breath, fatigue, chest discomfort and dizziness, although some people with AF have no symptoms at all. Whether patients have symptoms or not, AF can

cause blood to stagnate or pool in the left atrium, creating an ideal environment for blood to clot. These clots most commonly occur in a part of the left atrium called the left atrial appendage. These clots can break loose and travel through the bloodstream and up to the brain, where they can cause a stroke; indeed, patients with AF have six times the risk of stroke than people who have a normal heart rhythm. In order to reduce the risk of stroke caused by these blood clots, many AF patients take a blood-thinning drug called warfarin (brand name Coumadin). But treatment with warfarin can be challenging for the patient and doctor: if the blood is too thin, it can cause bleeding problems that may be severe and lifethreatening, and if the blood is not thin enough, the patient will be at a continued risk for stroke. The level of warfarin can be affected by many things, such as meals, fluctuating weight, medicines, and other factors; therefore, frequent blood tests are required to monitor the thickness of the blood. A new device, however, may revolutionize the way AF patients are treated. A clinical study underway at Scripps Green Hospital is evaluating the effectiveness of a tiny, parachute-like device called the WATCHMAN® that may reduce the risk of stroke and eliminate the need for blood thinning medications in some AF patients. This novel treatment is the currently the only one of its kind in the United States. The WATCHMAN is designed to close off the left atrial appendage (the area in

the heart where blood can pool and clot), thereby preventing blood clots from going to the brain and enabling patients to safely discontinue warfarin. The device is implanted into the heart without surgery: the patent is given a local anesthetic, and the catheter is inserted through a small incision in the groin and threaded through the vein up to the heart. The procedure takes one to two hours, and patients usually spend one night in the hospital. Patients can stop warfarin 45 days after a successful WATCHMAN implant. Eligible participants must be eligible to take warfarin and have a history of AF with or more risk factors for stroke, such as age more than 75 years, diabetes, high blood pressure, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, heart failure. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, but they are very low. The WATCHMAN study is scheduled to conclude in 2012, and new patient enrollments will likely close that year. Evaluation by the FDA for approval for use of the device in the United States is anticipated in 2013. Patients who are interested in participating should speak with their cardiologists and/or contact research coordinator Maria Reyes at (858)554-8931. Scripps Health interventional cardiologist Matthew J. Price, MD and Scripps Health cardiac rhythm specialist Douglas Gibson, MD are the principal investigators of the WATCHMAN study.

Sign up now for TPHS Cheer fundraiser An evening with the inspirational Louis Zamperini at the Grand Del Mar “Even at my age, I’m trying to improve. Never give up, no matter what. Even if you get last place — finish.” — Louis Zamperini

BY JODI KENNEDY CONTRIBUTOR Those are the words of one of America’s truly great heroes. At five foot four and barely more than 100 pounds, this tiny smiling man is a giant. Louis Zamperini, Olympic athlete and World War II veteran, has more life in him than an army of men three times his size. His story of Olympic greatness and triumph over torture as a Japanese POW, is currently the subject of Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book “Unbroken.” If you’ve read the book, then you already know that Zamperini was a medalwinning Olympic runner, heroically served as a World War II pilot, survived adrift at sea for an astonishing 47 days and, finally, triumphed over two-plus years being tortured as a Japanese POW. But that’s only half the story. The other half can’t be told, it has to be felt and seen by meeting the man himself. And that’s just what about 100 lucky people recently got to do. A magical evening, held at the Grand Del Mar, was hosted by Jackie Cohen and Dan Negroni, and made possible by the generous donation of Doug Manchester. Guests were treated to cocktails and appetizers and, more importantly, a hearty serving of Louis Zamperini. Following a video presentation produced by ABC television, the crowd sat in rapt attention as the diminutive 94-year old, clad in his trademark track suit and USC baseball cap, shared his incredible story and the lessons he learned about survival and the power of forgiveness. Although there was barely a dry eye in the house, there was also plenty of laughter as Louis told his tales with his characteristic wit and an unbelievably bright outlook.

Eve Selis and her band will sing Aug. 6 at concert Jodi Gruder, Tammy Hussin, Louis Zamperini, and Jackie Cohen. Photos courtesy Jodi Kennedy Following his talk, guests were given the opportunity to ask their own questions. Mostly people wanted to know: “How? How did you survive and live to come out smiling?” As Jackie Cohen puts it: “When I first met this man, I knew he had something great and important to share with the world. I wanted to do whatever I could to help make that happen.” And that’s just what she did.

Tips to reduce youth sports injuries and emotional burnout available at free presentation Aug. 25 at Scripps La Jolla Parents, youth sports coaches and others interested in learning practical ways to improve the youth sports experience are invited to attend a free educational event Thursday, Aug. 25, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. The presentation will be led by Scripps sports medicine pediatrician Dr. Paul Stricker, who was a team physician for the 2000 Olympic Games. Dr. Stricker reports a steady increase in overuse injuries and stress-related symptoms among his young patients in recent years. He says these conditions often stem from poor understanding of how children develop their sports skills. “Children build their athletic abilities in a progressive sequence that we can’t dramatically speed up,” Stricker

Surf B-U9 White Team finalists at Albion Cup Soccer Tournament The Surf B-U9 White team placed second at the Albion Cup soccer tournament in Point Loma on July 16 - 18. The team, coached by Kely Jacobson, played against a competitive field to make it to the championship game against the Albion SC White team. Coach Kely said of his team, “The team started off against a decent team from Mexico and 2-2 was a fair result. Then we caught fire near the opposing teams goal and scored a number of goals, winning the next three games. This pitted us against a very good Albion team which proved too strong. The boys did quite well over the three days and special mention would have to go out to Jace Wasserman and Tejas Gupta, who played consistently good in all the games.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

The “real” reason The Review is published weekly

B15

In Rancho Santa Fe you can ﬁnd glossy monthly magazines, a daily San Diego paper, a bi-weekly local paper and The Review...which is published every week of the year. So what makes The Review the most read publication in town? Every week here in Rancho Santa Fe, someone or something is making news you’re interested in. It could be an important land use decision that affects you; or news about schools that impact your children and family; or briefings about an impending social gathering; or news of someone’s passing, current real estate listings, or time-sensitive ad offerings from the businesses in town. The point is, Rancho Santa Fe is a dynamic place. A lot of important things go on here in the space of 7 days. Miss a week here, and you miss out on a lot.

The Review is part of people’s weekly “life cycle” Just think about it, most of the important events in your life have a weekly “cycle”. You have a “work week”. Your kids have a “school week”. You go to church weekly. You buy groceries for the week. Local football games are played weekly. You look forward to weekends to cap-off the “week”. And, like most people, you read The Review—every week. To keep pace with your life, and the life cycle of the most meaningful events in town, is the reason The Review is published every Thursday. And how important are the news and local events stories in The Review to local residents? Consider this: a national newspaper auditing services, proves The Review has the largest circulation of any publication in town—by a wide margin. That means almost everyone reads it. Yes, the paper could save money and spend less energy if it was published bi-weekly or monthly. But would Rancho Santa Fe benefit? No. The readers of this paper say it’s important to know what their neighbors are thinking and doing every week. People here want to be an active part of the local conversation. That’s largely why they read The Review. If The Review was published every other week, or

every month, the news would be “old news”, and mostly irrelevant by the time it was printed.

Why you’ll get more business putting ads in The Review

Most people read it because it’s the “voice” of RSF...

When you go to the Post Office on Thursday to get mail, notice that people keep The Review. Notice too, how many people throw the other papers in the waste basket. If you’re currently running ads in other local papers... it has to give you a sickening feeling to see your ad tossed before it’s read. So to grow your business every week...you need to promote your business every week. Not every 14 or 30 days. Make a smart business decision: pull your ads from the papers and magazines that don’t publish weekly. Put them in The Review—and watch your sales improve. The Review gives you the assurance your ad will be delivered every week, by the U.S. Post Office to every resident in town. If you were advertising in other local publications, you’ll see what it’s like to instantly double the people seeing your ad! Just as importantly, The Review can help you create effective ads. Recent training has given their staff the tools to make “direct response” ads. These ads generate more leads and sales than traditional ads. Call Don Parks at 858-756-1403 X110, to meet and discuss your new ads.

The Review is the most accurate and up-to-date local news reporting source there is in Rancho Santa Fe. No other news source—including other newspapers, magazines, internet sources or media outlets—reflects the heartbeat of everyday life in Rancho Santa Fe like The Review. If something’s going on here, the paper knows about it. The paper attracts important news precisely because it’s the essential voice of Rancho Santa Fe. And as the “voice” of the community, its news stories and events coverage are always “fresh”. The Review sits at the center of the important “conversations” that take place here weekly. What fills its pages are the debates, the dialogue and the stories that make this town vital and “alive”.

The Review is growing...its pages are getting thicker Of course you have a choice of the local papers you read. But if you put both the local community papers— The Review and The News—side by side, you’ll see something obvious. The difference is the thickness of each paper. The Review is twice the size of The News. Why? Because The Review carries more news stories, more commentary, editorial, real estate news, and information about local sports, schools, businesses and churches. It also carries more than twice the number of ads. Thorough and complete coverage makes for a thicker, more complete, paper.

DID YOU KNOW?

Q 80% of your market shops within a 5 mile radius of your store or business. Q The Review reaches 100% of the Rancho Santa Fe market. Q Direct response ads are 4 to 5 times more effective than traditional ads. Q Research by Yahoo Labs, reveals hyperlocal targeting of retail display ads generated more than 21 times return-on-ad-spend for customers within 2 miles of a store or business.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Your Family Matters: Leaving for college checklist BY DR. KEITH KANNER Within the next six weeks, thousands of recent high school graduates will be leaving the comfort of their childhood homes, embarking onto a new college campus which will become his or her Dr. Keith Kanner new home for the next four or so years. The college freshman has “officially” shifted from adolescence to adulthood and is now faced with new and different tasks than they experienced during the years of high school. Greater independence, self-responsibility, emotional maturity, and new and different social challenges are all simultaneously introduced which can be exciting for some,

but overwhelming for others depending upon both the personality and previous experiences of the individual. Perhaps the most significant difference is that all of these new experiences are withstood without the comfort of their parents being close by for supervision and daily consultation. Despite high school being a time of greater independence and favored autonomy from parents, and although most have an internalized feeling of security and endurance, college introduces new and different experiences from any of the previous years. For example, college freshman are required to get themselves up every morning; schedule and manage their courses; do their own laundry; manage their own finances; set their own curfew; have a study schedule; balance a social and academic life; stay in shape; and contemplate their futures. Although exciting, the management of these tasks can also be stressful. Research indicates that the most difficult aspect of the freshman year is not so much the academic challenges, but the adaptation to living in a new environment away from home. The highest college drop out rate in college is during this first year, as well as the greatest incidents of mental illnesses, including depression and anxiety disorders. Physical illness is also greatest during this first year, as well. The freshman year may be considered a mini “rite of passage” whereby the years following this one tend to be calmer and more enjoyable. This can be understood as due to experience and adapCARMEL VALLEY OFFERED AT $1,197,000 tation.

preparation for the upcoming change have a significant impact on how their child will adapt to both leaving home and getting settled at college. In fact, and not surprising, the better prepared, the less likely the student will flounder once away from the familiarity of home. So, parents of juniors and seniors in high school, here is your homework. The following are suggestions to help the college-bound freshman to best adapt to college life: 1. During high school, teach and encourage independent skills such as doing laundry; minor cooking; self-waking; balancing checkbooks; and setting up their own appointments. Senior year of high school is a wonderful opportunity to become used to more independent tasks while still in the comfort of having parents close by for consultation and guidance. 2. Visit the college campus ahead of time. Taking a tour of the campus and living conditions over the summer, and perhaps even sitting in on a few classes gives the new freshman a sense of what it will be like for them in the fall. 3. Talk to upper class people about the college experience. When the new college freshman talks to other students from their school about classes, teachers, and college life, many questions are answered beforehand and relieve anxiety. 4. Discuss and plan finance ahead of time. Parents need to talk about money, budgeting, and expenses well in advance, giving the student some time to get used to how they will pay for things and manage money. It is always suggested, at least during the first year, that the parents work together with their child to assure that they are comfortable with money and managing it well. 5. Don’t give away their room at home. Although college is their “new” home, the freshman will be mourning the loss of their parents and familiar home life. Being able to come home over the holidays and staying in their childhood room gives them a sense of security and comfort which is very important during this first year away from home. 6. Make home visits easy. Having a

plane ticket on hand as well as more frequent visits during the freshman year helps with the transition from home to college. Many college freshman need to “check in” with their parents during this significant year of change. 7. Go visit them. Plan a few trips if possible to visit them between major vacations. This assures them that you are invested in them despite them being away from home. These visits also give you a chance to see how they seem to be managing themselves and to make some suggestions if necessary. 8. Telephone often. During the first year, frequent contact with parents is common. In fact, many parents are amazed about how during high school they did not talk much with their child, but now, once in college, the frequency of talking increases indicating that they need your support and comfort. Make having a cell phone or land line easy for them to have. 9. Help them get settled. Be sure to both help them pack and gather supplies for the year and their rooms and escort them to the college campus in the fall. Most college freshman welcome the help of their parents during this transition and will let you know when they are ready for you to leave — usually after a few hours. 10. Encourage them to get help if they are in trouble. Most colleges have counseling centers which have therapists who have experience with transitional anxiety experienced by incoming freshman. Often getting some support and help early in the college experience speeds up the adaptation to college life which can positively effect the years to come. In most cases, after some normal bumps during the first year of college, the student adapts to their new developmental phase of life and actually enjoys coming home for visits with their families. In fact, many parents revel in the fact that the adolescent years are finally over and their son or daughter has evolved into a healthy adult. They may actu-

Local Marine and family receive financial assistance from FACE for injured puppy •Do nations still needed Local hero, Marine Jamie Davidson, and expectant wife, Jacklyn, are receiving emergency financial support from animal welfare non-profit FACE Foundation. The Davidsons’ three-month-old Australian shepherd, Jericho, was struck by a car and seriously injured in front of the family home. After a nearly-fatal wounding in Afghanistan, Jamie Davidson received a second chance at life, and now his beloved Jericho is in equal need of saving. Last June, Jamie Davidson was shot in the arm while serving in Afghanistan. The bullet ricocheted in his body after its exit was hindered by his bulletproof vest; the bullet then punctured his lung, broke four ribs, and settled in his stomach. Jamie Jamie Davidson and Jericho Davidson died twice on the operating table, but he was resuscitated successfully. His memory was undermined due to extensive blood loss, and, currently, he undergoes both physical and mental rehabilitation. The stress of Jamie’s war injury, Jacklyn’s pregnancy, and now little Jericho’s life-threatening accident has left the Davidson family in desperate need of the community’s assistance. In efforts to raise money for Jericho’s surgeries, the Davidsons are selling all of their expendable possessions; halfway to their goal, the family still needs help. While FACE Foundation is granting funding to the family, it is not too late for the community to provide assistance. FACE relies solely on generous donations from the public. Donations for Jericho Davidson may be placed with FACE via www.face4pets.org.
